"Kids, on my first day as a college professor, there re two things I didn't know that I wish did." "The first thing was that your mother was in that classroom." "The second thing?" "Well, to explain tt, we have to go back to the beginning of the summer, when, after a year of wrestling with their feelings for each other," "Barney and Robin finally, well..." "Whoo!" "Lily, volume." "Use your indoor "whoo. "" "Sorry, whoo!" "It's jt they kissed!" "They're finally a couple." "Oh, my God, you guys!" "This is our first double date!" "First of millions!" "What if our kids get married?" "!" "Oh, I love this!" "Yeah..." "Lily, listen." "Barney's awesome." "Ron's more than just awe-"some. "" "She's awe-"quite a bit. "" "She's awe-"a whole darn lot. "" "Wait, what are you saying?" "We're just not feeling it right now." "But we'll totally still be friends." "Oh, yeah." "Is it something I did?" "Oh, no, no, no, no, God, no." "No, no, no." "Uh-uh." "Lily, it's not you." "It'ss." "Yeah." "It's us." "You understand, right?" "Sure, of course." "As long as you're happy, I'm happy." "We were gonna take cooking lessons together and we were gonna go on camping trips together and then we were gonna sit around telling funny stories about our cooking lessons and our camping trips." "I know, I know." "(sobbing" "So, has the boat sailed onex tonight or..." "After that, the summer went by way too fast." "Until all of a sudden, it was the Friday before my firsday as a college professor." "Whoa, what's this?" "Oh, boy." "It's just a little something that we got for you that used to belong to my favorite professor of all time." "A fedora." "I'm Indiana Jones!" "That, my friend, is the Dominator 8000, the best bullwhip on the market, according to my whip guy." "Yeah, I have a whip guy." "You know what we should do?" "We should..." "Finish ourd rinks, go out in the alley, and whip stuff." "God, you just get me." "Okay, I should get going." "I got a date." "Oh, are you still seeing that guy?" "Uh, even better, seeing him naked." "What!" "Oh!" "I should go, too." "I hooked up with this Chinese girl last night, and I don't know, it's weird." "I already feel like seconds." "Okay, Ted, you got first whip!" "All right." "(imitating Clint Eastwood) Hey, dummy." "What did tell you about smoking in here?" "Make him whip the habit!" "I'so excited about this whip!" "I got whip fever!" "Just whip him, Ted!" "Don't even aim!" "Just whip him!" "I am so sorry." "No, it's just the whip's not a toy, Ted." "There's such a thing as common sense, you know." "Hey, you can whip me if you want." "I will, some other time." "Whoo!" "So, how long has this been going on?" "All summer." "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "You guys are boyfriend and girlfriend." "Whoa, hey." "Whoa." "Wow, no." "Whoa..." "Whoa, whoa, whoaLily." "Girlfriend?" "Slow your roll there, Lilypad." "Yeah, yeah." "You've been together all summer." "I dot get it." "Okay, it's like this." "After we kissed, we sat down to have the talk." "We should figure out what this is." "Yes, we should." "Or." "Okay, now, we have to figure this out." "Yes, we do." "Or." "Or..." "Whoa!" "We kept trying to have the talk and then we realized we hate the talk." "Yeah, the talk sucks." "You have to, like, talk." "And be all, "I don't know." ""It's not that I don't like you." ""It'sust that I haven't had a girlfriend" ""in a really ng time." "I hope it doesn't make you mad. "" "Who needs it?" "You needs it." "Guys, you can't just keep hooking up and not at least try and fire out what you mean to each other." "Yeah, we knew you would say that." "That's why we kept it a secret." "We, that and the fact that elaborate lies really turn us on." "No, no, no." "No." "You need tdefine the relationship." "You ne to have the talk." "Or." "Or.." "I know what you're all thinking." ""Who's this cool peer of mine up in front the class?"" "Well, I know the board says" ""Professor Mosby," but to you" "I'm Ted, huh?" "Question." "Awesome." "Hit it." "Yeah, here's my question." ""Ted," who the hell do you think you are?" "Yeah, "Ted. "" "We're supposed to learn from you?" "You failed as an architect." "Well..." "And if you're a professor, where's your h and your whip?" "They're at home." "I didn't think I'd need..." "And where are your pants?" "Oh!" "(gasps" "Oh, God." "Barney, it was awful." "I was teaching..." "Shh, Ted, now's not a good time." "Whe do you keep your condoms?" "Okay, look, mistake #1 was taking that girl's question." "You don't take questions on the first day." "It shows weakness." "Mistake #2 was you should've hit that." "Dude, your pants were already off, u had a classroom full of people to cheer you on, and you n't knock her up 'cause it's a dream." "Class dismissed." "Mistake #3:" "dude, where was the hat?" "Because if y're not going to wear it, I'm taking it back." "I think what Barney's saying is that definitions are important." "You're their teacher, not their friend." "Exactly." "If people don't know their place, nobody's happy." "Amen." "You have to make things clear." "Run tell dat." "Define the relationship." "Yes!" "No!" "Lily, private convo time." "Lily, can't you just let us be happy?" "You're not happy." "You just think you're happy because you feel happy." "And that's not happy?" "Of course not." "You and Robin need to have the talk." "Why?" "Give me one good reason." "I'll give you 20..." "Wow, you can't even think of one." "Headlights." "Deer." "Lily, for the last time, things with me and Robin are as good as they can possibly be." "Oh, hey, look, Brad's here." "I've got two tickets to the Rangers/Canucksame tomorrow night." "I know you're a hockey fan, so I was tnking..." "Uh, oh, um..." "Uh..." "What do I have to do?" "Put a gun to your head?" "Buy you a six pack?" "Oh, come on, Brad, that's..." "Wow, there's really six of them." "Uh, t, uh, I can't." "Why not?" "You have a boyfriend?" "No." "No, no boyfriend." "Great!" "It's a date." "Hey, Barn." "Hey, Brad..." "Eventually, Robin and Brad went to a hockey game." "You're probably wondering why I've been quiet all night." "Um..." "Damn it, Hordichuk!" "You miss another gimme like that," "I'm gonna come down there and put a slapper right up ur beerhole!" "Come on!" "Not really." "The truth is," "I" " I feel kind of weird being out with you." "Oh, man." "Is this the talk?" "What?" "No, this is good." "Let's get it all out of the way." "Robin, I'm looking for something serious." "No, Brad, no, it's..." "But before we go any further, you should know something about my stuff below the belt." "I was born a little different." "God, no, uh," "Brad, no, um..." "This iabout me and Barney." "You and Barn..." "Oh, oh, so you, you guys are..." "Well, we-we-we don't know what we are." "I mean, my heart says "leap into it. "" "My brain says "it's a bad idea. "" "Sounds like you guys need to have the talk." "We're not gonna have the talk!" "Would you just have the talk, okay?" "It's a five-minute conversation, and then you get to have sex afterwards." "It's great!" "Back me up, Ted." "I don't think the talk is necessary." "What?" "!" "Thank you, Ted." "Because Robin is already his girlfriend." "What?" "!" "MacLaren's Bar, four years ago..." "How do you keep a girl from becoming your girlfriend" "Simple: the rules for girls are the same as the rulesfor gremlin" ""Gremlins"?" "Gremlins." "Rule #1:" "never get them wet." "In other words, don't let her take a shower at your place." "#2: keep them away from sunlight-- i. e. don't ever see them during the day." "And rule # never feed them after midnight." "Meaning she doesn't sleep over and you don't have breakfast with her ever." "What about brunch?" "Is brunch cool?" "No, Ted." "unch is not cool." "Ok, new topic." "How do I pick a tie?" "Simple: remember in the movie Predator..." "I've done all three of those things with Robin." "Is she my girlfriend?" "Just once, I wish you guys would call me on Tuxedo Night." "ANNOUNCER Ladies and gentlemen, time to pucker up for the New York Rangers Kiss Cam!" "CROWD Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Okayhow about this?" "If you kiss me and you feel bad about it, you're meant to be with Barney." "Why not?" "Lay it on me." "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Kiss!" "Hey, Bd." "Brad, we can't fight like this all night!" "We both got some good shots in." "Let's call a truce!" "It's oy, dude." "I shouldn't go kissing some other guy's girlfriend." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, girlfriend?" "He come on." "That's putting it a bit strongly." "A bit strongly." "She's no Okay, yeah." "A gifriend's a bit much, Brad, okay?" "Okay, seriously." "We're at the point of physical violence." "Now, will you ease have the talk?" "Because of that?" "Come on." "That's thing." "I'm always punching guys." "Mm-hmm." "Girls" " I'll punch a baby." "I don't care." "Finally, my first clas had arrived." "For real this time." "I knew I had to make a strong impression." "I had thought of everything." "Except..." "Wait." "Does professor have one "F" or two?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Professor." "Pro-fess-or." "They're all staring at me." "Professor." "Uh, I don't know." "Ju do something!" "Two "F's. " That looks right." "I think that's right." "Hey, sorry I went little too far last night." "Oh, look, we've been over this." "Unless I say "flugelhorn," you haven't gone too far." "No, meant punching Brad." "Oh, right." "Look, don't even worry about it." "It's... oh." "God." "The doorknob's broken off." "We're locked in here." "Did, did you do this?" "No." "Flugelhorn." "Did you do this?" "No." "Ted?" "Ted, are you out there?" "Ted's not here, Robin." "Lily, let us out of here." "I'd be glad to." "Just as soon as you and Barney have the talk." "Lily!" "Come on." "Let us out!" "No." "Sit down, define the relationship, write down that definition on a piece of paper, slip it under the door, and if I like what I read, you can go." "We are not having the talk!" "Then you'll die in there." "You're gonna lock us in here?" "Well, guess what?" "Maybe we'll spend the whole day having sex!" "Well, guess what?" "I brought Marshall with me, so maybe we'll do the same." "Hey, guys." "I still hadn't decided what kind of professor I wanted to be- authoritative or cool guy." "I thought I would decide in the moment." "And I did." "About 20 times." "Good morning." "'Sup, dudes?" "Silence!" "This is Architecture 101." "I am Professor Mosby." "But you can call me Ted." "Professor Mosby." "T" " Dawg." "Do not call me T-Dawg." "Ner take questions on the first day." "It shows weakness." "Also, don't look right here." "Okay, good luck." "Byesies." "This was it:" "my crossroads moment." "What kind of professor was I gonna be" "I had to decide." "Please save all your qstions until the end of the lecture." "Thank you!" "Now..." "Professor Mosby d arrived." "Of course, if I had taken that girl's question- who, by the way,was not your mo" "Your mom was sitting..." "Wait, let me finish this story al quick." "Here's what that girl wod have said." "I'm sorry to bother you,Professor Mo but this isn't Architecture 101." "This is Economics 305." "You're in the wrong classroom." "Yes, I was in the wrong classroom." "And thus began the most humiliating seven minutes of my life." "Here's your ink-about-it for the day." "Every single person in this room is already an architect." "Architect?" "Hmm." "Ooh." ""We're just hanging out. "" "Just hanging out?" "Not good enough." "Not good enough!" "Can anyone here tell me what this class is really all about?" "Economics?" "No." "No, no." "Don't laugh." "He's not..." "He's not entirely wrong." "An architect must be economical in his use of space, so, well done." "Looks like somone's building towards an A, huh?" ""We're seeing where things are going. "" "I'll tell you where things aren't going- out of that bedroom." "Not good enough." "Not good eugh!" "You- why do you want to be an architect?" "I don't want to be an architect." "Yes." "Yes, exactly." "It-It's not something you want to be." "It's something you need to be." "You dot have a choice, right?" "None of you has a choice" "No questions!" ""We're Barnman and Robin. "" "Oh, come on, you got to admit, that's kind of funny, Lily." "Not good enough." "Not good enough!" "So if any of you have even the slightest inclination to do anything with your life other than become an architect, you're wasting my time and yours." "There's the door" "You can go." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Wait, wait, wait." "Don't-Don't all leave!" "Architecture's fun!" "Look!" "I brought a hacky sack!" "Sorry, I'm late, everyone." "My name is Professor Calzonetti." "This is Economics 305." "You may return to your seats." "Uh, sorry, sir." "This is, uh, Architecture 101." "Who invited their dad, right?" "Young man, for the last 28 years," "Economics 305 has been taught right here in building 14, room 7." "Uh, yeah." "Buddy, I'm sure 200 architecture students and their professor all got the room wrong." "T" " Dawg, you're in the wrong room, bro." "Sorry." "Coming through." "Excuse me." "Whoa." "20 minutes late on your first day?" "That's rough." "Mm." "Yeah, but here's the funny thing." "By that point, I didn't have time to think about what kind of teacher I was going to be." "I just got up there and talked about architecture." "And it was kind of great." "That's awesome, Ted." "Yeah." "Congratulations, buddy." "Thanks." "Nice job, Ted." "Hey, Ted, door five!" "Were you there?" "Yeah, I got you, buddy." "They still haven't had the talk, huh?" "I think I know how to speed things up" "Oh, not cool!" "Pancakes, fresh bacon." "It is so yummy." "Uh, dude, I'm starving." "Let's..." "Let's just have the stupid talk." "Come on." "Fine." "But how do these this even work?" "What do we say?" "Huh." "Where do you see this relationship going?" "Oh, my God, that sounds so cheesy." "(laughing I know, right?" "Totally." "But, um, where-where do you see this relationship going?" "I don't know." "I mean, it's not like I don't like you." "I just haven't had a girlfriend for a long time." "I hope that doesn't make you mad." "Mad?" "I feel the same way." "I suck at relationshs." "I mean, except with Ted." "Man, he really got it right." "I know it's a cliche but he really ruined me for other men." "Of course, I wasn't in the room for this conversation, but I have to imagine Robin said something like that." "Hmm." "Maybe we should go back to being jt friends." "Maybe." "But, um," "I don't want to stop having sex." "Oh, good." "Me, neither." "Yeah." "Friends isn't gonna work." "Nope." "Oh, we're not good at being friends." "We're nogood at being in a relationship." "Wh are we good at?" "I know something we're good at." "I don't know." "If we're gonna do it again," "I'm gonna need some Gatorade, or..." "No!" "No, t that." "Lying." "Okay, think about it." "We spent the whole summer lying about being just friends." "Why not just keep lying?" "Really?" "ROBIN:" "Yeah." "Really." "We sat down." "We had the talk." "Barney's my boyfriend now." "And Robin's my girlfriend." "I know it sounds nuts, but it feels good to say." "We're both afraid of commitment, but, the fact is, we also can't live without each other." "And if the alternative is not being together, then it's worth taking this risk 'cause she's awesome." "And he's awesome." "He looks nice in a suit." "She can handle her Scotch." "He's my boyfriend." "And she's my girlfriend." "Oh!" "Good enough!" "We are good." "She bought it." "Hook, line, and sinker." "are good." "Oh, totally." "Mm." "So, you want to get some breakfast?" "You know, brunch actuall does sound kind of good." "Hmm." "Well, lead the way, sweetie pie." "Wow!" "Flugelhorn." "Yeah, that felt wrong." "Mm." "Mm." "You do realize they were lying, right?" "No, Ted." "They don't realize they weren't lying." "And that's the story of how Barney and Robin became boyfriend and girlfriend." "Oh, hello." "Hello." "Good evening." "Hello." "Don't get up." "Didn't we meet on a yacht?" "Hello." "What?" "Oh, no!" "Did I not tell you guys that it was Tuxedo Night?" "Doesn't feel very good, does it?"

"Valencia, CA 2:43 am" "Yeah." "Shit." "Where is he?" "Gotta go." "What's the latest?" " Nothing." "They say the first 24 hours..." " Right." " Did she understand?" " It's not their fight." "Did she understand?" "It's not their fight." " Hey." " Hey, Linus." " Hey, where are Tess and Isabel?" " It's not their fight." "Any change?" "He's in critical condition, but he's still alive." "You know, if he doesn't..." " Is Stan there?" " Yeah, he's been there an hour." "Stan'll tell us what's going on." "Myocardial infarction." "He's endured an incredible shock to his system." "Can he recover?" "Yes." "Will he recover?" "It helps if they have something to live for." "Family?" "Friends, then." "Maybe that'll be enough." "Reuben, when it comes to Willy Bank, you can 't rely on contracts." "My lawyers say they're ironclad." "Four weeks earlier..." " Give me credit for my business sechel." " I don't think it's a good idea." " Neither does Rusty." " Well, I'm doing it." "It's done." "And you tell Rusty that I won't have to pull jobs to keep my hotel solvent." "Hey, Reuben." "You fellas are young." "You don't understand." "Do you know that the Inuit people put their elders out on a ice floe to die when they're too old to hunt?" "Thanks." "That's just a myth." "Well, that ain't gonna happen to me." "I can still hunt." "This is it." "It's my chance." "I used to mean something in this town." "I would walk into a restaurant." "If it was full they'd snap out a new table for me like that!" "If you're worried about your place in history let us get a street named after you, or a boulevard." "We can talk about that when I'm dead." "Danny I appreciate you coming this far to see me, but I gotta do this." " Reuben!" " Partner!" "Reuben!" "Oh, so good of you to come." "Of course." "Of course." "Are there more items for my punch list?" "I got so much energy, I can hardly sleep from the excitement!" "Where are you at on the visas for the chefs?" "My man in Washington says they'll be stamped by the time we open." " No, no, no." "Not good enough." " That's what I said." "Oh, that's good." "And the chandeliers?" "My ex-wife's new brother-in-law..." "You don't need the details." "It's done!" "Half price." "They're already at the warehouse." "And because I know it mattered to you I appeared before the city council." "The one-way street leading away from the rear entrance now leads toward the rear entrance." " All roads lead to the Midas!" " This is perfect!" "Great views up here." "Where's the partners' desk gonna be?" "Oh, no partners' desk." " Two desks?" " No two desks." "One desk." "One chairman's desk." "One." "The arrangement is changing." "Was changed." "As a matter of fact, there is no arrangement." "Everybody said that you would try to screw me." "That you done it to every one of your partners." "But I defended you." "I said, " No!" "Me and Willy Bank been around long enough that we both shook Sinatra's hand." "And there's a code among guys that shook Sinatra's hand."" "Screw Sinatra's hand." " Screw...?" " You're dead weight." "You think I'm gonna carry you and pay you at the same time?" "Reuben, you're out!" " Never." "This is my land." " Was." "Was your land." " You signed it over to the corporation." " For 50-percent interest!" "Which I'm gonna ask you to sign over to me for a small cash payment." "I'm not signing that." "Get out of here." "I'm not signing that." " Are you gonna throw me off the roof?" " Well, I don't want to." "This is wrong." "This is all wrong." "You're leaving me with nothing." "You know, you're right." "And it's rude." "Here." "It's the first batch." "Just got made." "You changed the name." "I like it better!" "Don't you?" "Reuben." "He always was too trusting." " Is, Saul." "Is." " Of course." "Is." "You try talking him out of it next time." "Look, Bank hurt Reuben." "I know how that makes me feel." "I know what that makes me wanna do." "I'm gonna get close to Bank, and I don 't care if it gets messy." "I'll drive you." "We'll get him leaving his barber." " Then I'll inject him." " I'll find a spot to get rid of the body." "All valid ideas." "Great initiative." "But..." "But even though Bank stepped over the line we have to do what's best for Reuben." "Which means, we offer Bank a Billy Martin." "What?" "He goes for it, and that's it?" "He just gets off?" " That's the rule." " That's the rule for someone who understands the rules, which Bank don't." "He already broke them." "So he don't get the chance." "For Reuben I think we give him a chance." "I need answers before I ask questions." "You get that?" "All right, do it." "So some guys I take seriously told me you're a serious guy." " Good." "What I want, what's most important to me is that Reuben gets his share of the hotel restored." " I'm here to give you a chance to do that." " Oh, you're gonna give me a chance?" "Okay." "It's a Billy Martin?" "I pass." "Last time I looked..." "And I look every morning." " It was my name listed as owner on more valuable property in this state than anyone else in history." " Which means you got a lot more to lose." " Well, I don't lose." "People who bet on me to lose lose, and they lose big." "You come at me, you better know I move quick and when I do, I slice like a goddamn hammer." "So you're not gonna make Reuben whole?" "If Reuben was too weak or too stupid to see what was coming down then you know what?" "He doesn't belong here." "He's made the right choice:" "Roll over and die." "Let him be." "How long do I have to wait for a conduit?" "I don't want the labor pains." "I just want the baby." "Six months later..." "Well, thanks for coming." "Thanks for the hundred grand." "If this takes longer than a day, though, we're gonna have to renegotiate." "That's fair." "I'd like some Sencha or Genmaicha." "Green tea." "Yes, sir." "And don't burn it." "Pour it just before boiling point, not after." "Green tea." "Sì, signore." "Just us three?" " For now, we figured..." " Figured we'd talk to you first." " Good Lord." "How stuck are you?" " Stuck." " Stalled, really." " Stuck." "Run it for me." "Don't leave anything out." "Give me the big picture." " You wanna...?" " It's all yours." " Where should we start?" " With the hotel." "Bank's swinging for the fences on this one." "Forget weekenders and conventioneers." "He's built this place for whales." "It's a shoo-in for the Five Diamond Award." "The marble was handpicked in Italy." "The chefs stolen from the highest-rated restaurants in the Michelin guide book." "In the villas, for his big players, the silverware is actually gold." "Bank's greatest strength is also his weakness:" "Ego." "He's been spending his days checking and rechecking every inch of the property getting ready for the grand opening." "It's a compulsion." "Bank's right-hand man is a woman:" "Abigail Sponder." "We're gonna have to let you go." "Turn in your uniform." "I only gained 4 pounds." "You can't." "Your body mass index is not what it's supposed to be." " But Ms. Sponder..." " Oh, no, baby doll." "It's your butt that's the problem." "You can 't fire no waitress based on appearance." " That's just unconstitutional." " Lf they were waitresses." "They're actually hired as "models who serve" so Bank can monitor their physical appearance." "It's a cruel, cruel practice." "Between Bank and Sponder, the place is covered." " When's opening night?" " July third." "Got fireworks at the stroke of midnight." "The whole shebang." "We're going in now?" "It's already open." "It's a soft opening, to test the place before the grand opening." "It's kind of like an out-of-town preview, only it's in town." "Soft opening, grand opening." "When they opened the Flamingo one day it was closed, the next day it was open." "End of story." " I know, I was there." " Well, it's different now." " So when is opening night?" " July third." "Now, the top casinos can clear $3 million a day just on the floor." "Bank, with his high-level players and no limits, is projecting 5." "But in exchange for the loans, he had to give up 6 of the 9 seats on the board." "He doesn't control his company, and a couple of the guys aren't friendlies." "So he has to clear 500 million in the first quarter or he gets dumped out of his own hotel." "And, of course, Bank wants another Five Diamond Award." "Fifth in a row." "Every hotel I have ever owned has won a Royal Review Five Diamond Award." "The Sagarro Inn, five diamonds." "The Peloponnesian, Monte Carlo, five diamonds." "The Grand Sapphire, Singapore, cinco diamantes!" "The Otemanu Crest, Tahiti..." "I've never not won one." " So how are you gonna get the diamonds?" " We're not." "We thought about it, then we decided it was..." "Impossible." "But he's not gonna be winning any more." "Tell him about Debbie." "Yeah, tell me about Debbie." "Debbie is concierge at The Bank." "She's very ambitious in a good way, for us." "As soon as I said the words "general manager" and "Macao" she was in." "I put a cherry on top to make sure." "We found out who 'd be reviewing the hotel." "We're gonna get to him before Bank can." "I feel bad." "It's like torture." "This is war, kid." "There's gonna be collateral damage." "And he gets the Susan B. Anthony at the airport." " He doesn't know that." " So what?" "He has to know why he won to enjoy it?" " Who says?" " So you'd go through that for 10 million?" "No." "I'd do it for 11 mil." "Now, we've found out Bank is tapped into the federal fingerprint database." "Highly illegal." "We came up with a way to piggyback his system between firewall checks." " Very interesting stuff out there." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "What else?" "We're gonna get his whales." " How?" " He talked to Denny Shields." "Denny Shields?" "After he bragged about you guys to Toulour and started that whole slog?" " We need him." "I should've kept my mouth shut." "And then I saw that guy walking around." "I didn't know who he was." "He was just some guy to me." "And I guess I pissed him off." "Denny, there's no way you could've known who he was, so just forget it." "It's okay." "Let it go." "Well, the other stuff I got taken care of is all straight." "I got 18 whales." "I spoke to their handlers, I spoke to their managers, I spoke to their assistants." "Every one of them's gonna leave." "We're gonna do it in two tiers." " I'm leaving first." "They're gonna follow." " Great." "Okay." "But you gotta make sure they win, because these guys usually lose." " And when they lose, they get comped." " They're gonna win big." " How big?" " Five hundred." " Million?" "Just the group of you?" " No." " No, it's a reverse big store." " Right." " Doesn't matter if we win." " As long as the casino loses, yes." "That could actually work." "So you need to rig..." "Craps, blackjack, roulette, slots." "Now this polymer reacts to ultrasonic pulses." "But it's not metallic, so the compasses on the table won't detect it." "And it don't affect the weight when they mike the dice." "Now, this..." "Not really a lighter?" "Dice are controlled from the manufacturer all the way to the floor." "Which is why we went all the way to the manufacturer." "You think they could kick on the air conditioning?" "It's dangerous." "Put your mask back on." "Danger is my middle name." "So that's not your problem." "So you're jammed on blackjack?" "We've embedded Livingston in the Shuffle company." "The tack will stimulate your EKG much in the same way a lie would." "But you have to step on it during the control questions name, birthdate, so on so those levels will match the stress levels of your false answers." "Got it." "How much is this gonna hurt?" "If you're doing it right, should be excruciating." " Is your birthdate February 11 th, 1965?" " Yes." " Are you wearing a white shirt?" " Yes." "Have you ever been involved in the commission of a crime?" "No." "Have you ever defrauded or attempted to defraud the gaming industry?" "No." " Alex?" " Solid." "I love technology." "To look at you, I'd swear you were being evasive but the machine says you're clean." "I'm just a little nervous." "I really want this job." "Well, you can relax now." "Welcome to Shuffle Royale." "The Shuffle Royale." "Well, I doubt I've heard the last of that one." "So if blackjack is not your problem, it must be slots." "Progressives run off computer chips now." "You're gonna have to program in a trap door." "I can probably find you someone to do that." "Thanks, Roman." "We got somebody on the inside." "A great kid named Eugene." "He's got a little too much downtime." "He's run up a nice online gaming tab." "He won 't be able to keep it a secret much longer." "Now I have no..." "Yeah, it's crazy." " How bad is it?" " It's bad." "I owe $30,000." " So it may as well be a hundred." " All right." "Let's call it a hundred." "Thanks, Danny." "Eugene, my pleasure." "Now tell me how you're gonna program that trap door." "So if that's not the problem, it must be roulette." "Cutting edge in that game is infrared scanner in the shoe wired to a microcomputer somewhere on your person which figures the probability of where the wheels will land to three digits." "Yeah, we tried that." "The way he was dressed didn 't help." "Not very subtle, this guy." " So you're stuck on roulette." " No." "We're going lo-fi." "We figured we'd get some loaded balls in there." "You're kidding." "How are you gonna deliver?" "Two stages." "First, we position a man of our own." "There's a gaming expo the day of the grand opening which Bank is committed to attend, to show what a regular guy he is." "Frank's suiting up as the gamer." "The men who make the decisions are very, very hard to impress." "That's why I'm asking each and every one of you to help me sell it by being the most classy, genteel ladies." "The image that we're looking for is a tasteful elegance." " What exactly do you want us to do?" " Raise those skirts up about three inches." "Second part:" "We tie Frank to one of theirs, a pit boss with sticky fingers." "How much for these?" "Does Willy Bank know you're stealing his gold flatware, Neil?" "How do you know my name?" "Oh, we know a lot of names." "Know your wife, Mary, your kids, Leanne and Dolly." "We know you're the pit boss at the casino." "Come on, you don't wanna..." "Please!" "We don't wanna hurt you." "We wanna help you." "We want to double your salary all in one night." "What do you need me to do?" "Right now, nothing." "Go home, do your job and at the appropriate moment, somebody will present themself to you." " Enough said?" " Enough said." "Who is the shill at the expo to rope Bank?" " We're still looking." " We'll find someone." "Make sure it's someone he really despises." "Back to macro." "What is your exit strategy?" "The players won't be in on the scam, so they'll all think it's their lucky night." "But you'll never get them out the door with all their winnings." "They'll dump it all back." "That's Vegas, and that's your problem." "Well, the exit strategy is a problem, it's not the problem." "The problem is security." "We're drawing a blank." "And it's a little spooky." "The specs aren't on the gray market, the black market or any other market." "All I hear is there's never been a system like this." "I found out where they designed it, but I can't get in the building." "I've blown all my buy money, my bribe money four of my best IDs, and I am nowhere." "Not only am I nowhere, I'm pretty sure I'm being followed." " Do you have anything?" " I think I have a name." "I don't even know if it's right." "They're calling it..." "The Greco." "The Greco Player Tracker." "They're putting it in Vegas." " I'll give you back the hundred grand." " Why?" "Danny, I like you." "And you, Rusty." "I mean, you got style." "You got brio." "You got loyalty." "You two are the Morecambe and Wise of the thievery world but even they went off the boil." "You're analog players in a digital world." "You're done." "Believe me, I would love to go up against Greco, and crush him but it can't be beat." "It can't be hacked, and it can't be beat." " Not even by you?" " With 18 months nothing else on my plate, no other jobs, women or distractions maybe." "You know everything about this thing." "Everything except where it was being deployed." "The inventor is an old schoolmate of mine." "His name is Greco Montgomery." "Pompous ass named it after himself." "Greco?" "Roman?" "You've obviously never served time in a British boarding school." "So, what's so tough about this thing?" "It's an artificial-intelligence security system." " They must be field testing." " You mean it has a brain?" "A hell of a brain." "It doesn't only think, it reasons." "It reads every permutation in every wager in every seat in the entire casino hand by hand." "It's wired into floor security cameras that measure pupil dilation and determine if a win is legitimate or expected." "It gathers biofeedback, players' heart rates, body temperatures." "It measures on a second-by-second basis whether the standard variations of gaming algorithm are holding or are being manipulated." "The data is analyzed in real time in a field of exabytes." "Exabytes?" " You know what a terabyte is?" " Yeah, it's a..." " An exabyte is a million terabytes." " Right." "The Greco is housed in an impregnable room." "Shock-mounted, temperature-controlled and it locks down if it even senses it is under attack." "If it locks down, they wouldn't even be able to get out of the room." "Couldn't we just shut it off?" "You know, cut the wires?" "That could work." " Better, kick the plug out at the socket." " Seriously." "Short of walking into that room with a bloody magnetron around your neck..." "You know what a magnetron is?" "Something that screws up the Greco?" "Short of that..." "I'm kind of shocked this is where we are, because this is a problem." "That's what I said." " Lf we could somehow shut it off..." " There's no "if."" "It cannot be shut off." "You'd need a real natural disaster, an actual act of God." " But if we could beat it..." " You can't." " But if we did..." " You can't." " You could." " Don't flatter." "If we could, how long would it take to reboot?" "Because it's so sophisticated, three and a half minutes." " Might be enough." " Pick your natural disaster." "Get me a laptop." "The drill accesses through a sewer main off Paris Drive." "It grinds along into the northwest corner of the hotel, here." "Probably about six rpm, so you won't wake all the neighbors." "When it reaches the resonant frequency, the building acts like a tuning fork." "To people inside, it will feel like an earthquake." "That should knock out the Greco." "And that's your exit strategy." " Hey, Bash!" " I'm up here!" "Hey." " Here you go." "Okay." " Great." "Hey, where are the mags?" " Linus..." " Look, I can't buy those things." "I need them!" "I can't leave." "Why are you such a...?" "I'm sorry!" "Ask somebody else." "Ask Livingston." "You're such a wowser." "Look." "Read this to Reuben." "I've done research." "Positive messages get through." "I can't say this." "No, I'm saying it." "You're just the vessel." "Come on, Basher." "Why don't you take a break?" "I'll watch all the equipment, and you go read it to him." "Shit!" "You know, when they were digging the tunnel they had teams of guys monitoring this." "Yeah?" "How many?" "Teams!" "That's a 5.6." "If you don't think a 5.6 is possible, or even likely then quite frankly, you don't know much about the Billups-Mancini Report specifically the section on the Mojave Block." "I know what you're hoping:" "That it'll just be a blind thrust fault." "It'll just..." "See that?" "That's Rusty." "See Rusty?" "He's doing an Irwin Allen." "See that?" "He's not deaf, Linus." " Bottom-line me here." " Close your hotel, permanently." " What?" "We haven't even opened yet." " What are all those people downstairs?" " A soft open." " It's like an out-of-town preview." "You think you can just come in here, tell me to close my hotel?" "I'm not gonna close my hotel." "If you'll let me come in with my team for a few days, I can prove what I'm saying." "There is no way we are exposing our exclusive clientele to a bunch of..." "Scientists?" "We wouldn't want that, would we?" "Let's just hope for the best, shall we?" "That should be enough." "Take this." "It's a standard torsion seismograph." "If there is a foreshock, it will register, and you just might have time to evacuate." "I don't want this thing on my desk." "Let me tell you what you don't want:" "Your hotel on the cover of TIME magazine in a twisted heap of steel and glass, you and your customers are underneath it." "Headline reads, "Who's To Blame?"" " That's what you don't want." " Okay." "Put an evacuation plan on paper." "Will do, sir." "Consider it done." "I do thank you for your time." "If you wanna put yourself to good use, why don't you hit the tables?" "Oh, I don't gamble, sir." "Neither should you, not with people's lives." "I'll screen the meetings more carefully next time." "Sorry, Mr. Bank." "And now we have a camera in Bank's office." "I'll see you, Reuben." "A letter from Basher." ""Dear Reuben." "As the band said, 'Two hearts beat as one.'" "When men have been in battle together, they are bonded like the flower and the soil and the sun." "And like the moon catches the light..."" "Reuben, I'm gonna go ahead on and leave this here." "I'll see you, pal." "So she says, "What'd I do?"" "And I said, " What do I look like, a pancake eater?"" " So you just left it there on the floor?" " Right on the floor." " For how long?" " Next morning." "Good." "Yeah." "Thanks, Debbie." "Pack your swimsuit." "All right." "I don't wanna see any slack faces in the front of the house." " Only happy faces." "No slack faces." " Right." " Go!" "Go, go!" " Right." "I'm sorry." " Mr. Shields!" " Thanks." "Where are you going?" "We got you booked through grand opening." "A friend of mine, a very serious man told me very seriously that it would be a good idea if I left the hotel." "I'm taking his suggestion, Willy." "He can't be too serious if he knew what I got in store for you." "Willy, I'm out of here." " Oh, come on." " See you, Willy." " I really hate to see you go, man." " Let's go." "Bank here." "Confirmed?" " Where?" " The gentleman in the trilby, sir." "The what?" "The Dr. Dolittle hat." "Well, why didn't you just say that?" "Okay." "Okay." "Yes, sir." " Excuse me, Mr...?" " Chubb, Kensington Chubb." "Mr. Chubb, would you like to follow me?" "I might be able to move things along." "How very nice of you." "No, no, no." "Her Highness is a very delicate animal." "It upsets her so if anyone but Papa carries her about." " All's well, dear." " Why don't you just follow me?" "You're very considerate." "I do appreciate what you're doing for me." "Oh, sorry." " Why does he get to go...?" " He's a VIP." "So, what's that make me?" "A VUP?" "A very unimportant person?" "I have a reservation." "Why don't you go on break, Jim?" "I'll handle this guest." "Hello, sir." "Sorry for the wait." "Welcome to The Bank." "Hello." "Kensington Chubb here." " Saul, it's me." "He's in his room." "Blast him." " Got it." "Gloves and mask." "Don 't take any chances." "Got it." "Hello." "Front desk." "Yes, I'm in room 1706, and there's some sort of terrible smell in here." "It smells like..." "Well, I need to move." "Certainly, sir." "I'll see if we have anything available." "I'm sorry, sir." "We are booked through the grand opening gala." "I'll let you know if anything opens up." " Enjoy your stay at The Bank." "Goodbye." " But I..." "Let the VIP concierge know that I'm ready to see all available rooms." " Right away, Mr. Chubb." " Thank you." "Her Highness is so very sensitive to smells." "If you keep complaining they will fire us all just for listening." "I'm just saying the conditions are brutal." "You can't disagree." "The money... short." "The hours... way too long." "That's Mexico, bro." "Have all of you forgotten Zapata?" "When the poor had their land stolen they figured it was lost for good." "But Zapata said to them..." "It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." "And they fought." "And they fought." "Hello." "I'd like a table for one." "I hear your risotto is tremendous." "It is tremendous." "The name on the reservation?" "I'm a walk-in." "I'm sorry, sir." "I can't accommodate you." "Those are reserved." "May I recommend one of our other restaurants?" "Ling Su." "Cantonese-inspired Szechuan cuisine." "Great." "Okay, it is not a prop for prop's sake." "No, the Brody can work." "Just because you have the greatest cover known to man you don't even have to think about these things anymore?" "Congratulations." "No, maybe you're getting soft." "No, I'm not gonna put Danny on." "Or Rusty." "Just..." "Goodbye, Dad." "Okay." "I rerouted all the impulses going to the main randomizer." "In blackjack, the best score you can get is 21." "It's called blackjack." "So the result should be 20s and blackjacks to all the players, with a dealer "bust."" "Your cards." "That's mine." "Okay, do over." "Do over." "Okay, I'll keep working." " Good." " Good." "I'll have the dumplings and the shiitake-mushroom tempura." " And a sparkling water." " Okay." "I'm gonna finish this." ""Staff." "Casino." "Food." "Room cleanliness."" "At this point, there's nothing I can do to help him." "You said that he'd be, whatchamacallit, ambulatory by now." " Are you keeping his spirits buoyed?" " We're working on it." "Thanks, Stan." "No, no." "That's way too much." "It's not like I removed a bullet." "This time." " Hey, Linus." "How's it going?" " Dr. Stan." "Great." " We're dead." " What?" " The factory in Mexico is offline." " Offline?" " What does that mean exactly?" " I couldn't get details." "It just shut down." " You don't think that he...?" " Yeah, I do." "So he says that they want their bread and they want their roses too." "You gotta get down there and straighten this out." " But he doesn't listen to me." " You're going." "If we don't get this factory back online, we're gonna have to dock this showboat." "What he means is the whole operation hinges..." "Dude, I got the showboat metaphor." "Thank you, Linus." " All right, I gotta get back." " What?" "What do you mean, what?" "A little something for the effort, maybe." "We pool tips!" "The other guys are gonna think I'm kiting." "All right, okay, fine." "Come on." " You want it to come out of my pocket?" " I ain't got money till I get my check." " Yeah?" " What is this?" "Take it easy." "What's the problem?" "The tri-cone optimizers that feed into the nipple-sleeve receivers perforated their lubricating bladders and began punching against the side walls." "Picture a knee, but without any cartilage." "Bone on bone." "There's a shearing effect when alloys of different density abrade." " The softer of the two..." " Magnetizes, reversing polarization." "Where's that put us?" "Cattled." "Good news is, there's another B-600, the one that dug the Chunnel." "I thought we had the one that dug the Chunnel." " We did." " This one dug from the French side." "Bad news is, we're gonna have to buy this one, and it's expensive." "How much do we have left?" "If I tap the whole contingency, just over 10 million." " How close does that get us?" " No." " How much is it?" " Thirty..." " Thirty?" "...six." "Thirty-six?" " There's no way to do it without the drill?" " The drill's the exit strategy." "Well, is there a way for us to raise money?" "I've got everything I have in this already." " So do I." " Me too." "We all do." "If any one of us was lying up in that bed, Reuben wouldn't rest till he made it right." "I gotta go up there and tell him we failed, and there's nothing we can do about it?" " So we're stopping?" " I'm not saying that." "So, what, then?" "Mr. Reuben is talking." "He ask for Mr. Danny." " Rusty." " I don't wanna go." "No." "I hear cars pulling in." "I hear whispering conversations." "Linus crying." "Why don't you tell me what everyone else seems to know?" " Well, we came in here to..." " The thing is..." "Wait, wait." "Hi, Reuben." "Good to see you smiling again." "Can I talk to you guys for a second?" "That's your idea?" "We've shaken all the trees, we've looked under every rock, we've searched every..." "We've talked to everybody we can trust." "It's not a great idea, but it is an idea." "I think as long as we have one idea, we shouldn't give up." "I was really hoping to avoid that this time." "Number one:" "If any of you try to screw me, you'll be dead." "I'm gonna be looking in on the operation to make sure." "Number two:" "If I lend you this money, I'm your senior partner." "Last money in, first money out." "And you will double my investment." "Double." " Was that a yes?" " Double." "That monstrosity that Bank calls a hotel casts a shadow over my pool." "Break him." "Break him in half." "The man has no taste." "Yet, every time he opens a hotel he wins a Royal Review Board Five Diamond Award." "Every time he wins a Five Diamond Award, he celebrates by..." "We know." "By buying one for his wife." " You mean five." " One is five." "Number three:" "I want you to steal the diamonds." " Can't be done." " We don't have the manpower." " Or the time." " Or a way in." "If we get caught, we go away for life." "We won't risk that for you." "They're not for me." "I just want him to lose what matters most to him." "Do what you want with them." "But either you steal the diamonds or you find somebody else to finance your drill." "LA FOREUSE B600" "(The one that dug from the French side.)" "What's the deal with these diamonds?" "They're Tiffany, they're 30 carats each, matching the awards plaques." "On today's legitimate market, they'd be worth $250 million." "Bank's already purchased the next one in anticipation of winning the award." "The rest are kept in a secure glass viewing booth at the top of the tower." " Benedict said we can keep them?" " That's what he said." "Then why weren't these diamonds on the agenda to begin with?" "Because it can't be done." "This is why revenge jobs don't work, Daniel." "You put yourself in a position, you know you should walk away, but you can't." " This is how guys die or go to jail." " All right." "Anybody wanna walk away?" " Saul?" " I didn't say I was walking away." "Let's gut the son of a bitch." "Okay." "Now, Bank fired Gehry, Gwathmey, Meier, four others just so he could say he designed the hotel himself." "What this means to us:" "There's no set of unified plans." "Routes?" "According to March '05 plans, there's interior shafts with potential access to the diamond viewing room here, here and here." "But the May '05 plans only show shafts here and here." "September '05 shows no shafts." "December '06 are the same as March '05." " How many sets of plans are there?" " That's 10." "Since we can't trust the accuracy of these drawings based on my walking around, these are the shafts we have to clap an eyeball on." "Now, there's no way of knowing the thickness of the floor." "Anything thicker than 5 inches, we got a problem." "This here is the elevator shaft which can be accessed through a super-high-roller villa." "Got it?" "All right." "So who's gonna be our super-high roller?" "I'm so sorry to have been a little tardy, Mr...?" "Pepperidge, Lenny Pepperidge." "I'm Mr. Weng's communicator." "He'd like you to know that he was waiting for 7 minutes." "We received your $ 10 million cash deposit." "I'd like you to know that we..." "Mr. Weng won't take a line." "He's a man of extraordinary discipline." "He's willing to risk 10 million, not a dollar more." " Did you say Mr. Weng was in real estate?" " That's right." "I only ask because his name doesn't come up on our standard file database." "And Mr. Weng and I have worked very hard to keep it that way." "Exactly what kind of real estate did you say that Mr. Weng was involved in?" " Look, he owns all the air south of Beijing." " The air?" "Put it to you this way:" "Try building something larger than three stories in the Tianjin province see if his name comes up in your database then." "How quickly can you transfer his money to the cage at the Bellagio?" "I don't think that's necessary at all, Mr. Pepperidge." "We have reserved our largest villa for Mr. Weng." "Carson City, NV" "Extension 765." "Hello, Robert." "This is Abigail Sponder." "Your bureau chief introduced us not too long ago at the Gaming Fraud Seminar." "I remember you." "What can I do for you, Ms. Sponder?" "We're about to open the new property and there are a couple of characters here I'm not too sure about." "Give me their names, and I'll check them out." "Up you go." " What do you mean?" " You gotta go." "Too fast?" "You did the bullet-train stunt with all Asia watching." "The elevators aren't faster than that." " That was CGI?" " Wait, so those weren't your legs?" " Wow." " Jesus." "Okay, then." "We're down again." "Well, what about Reuben?" " There's hospice." " Assisted living." "We could pay somebody to read to him." "Maybe he'll see his next birthday." " January?" "I don't think so." " Shit." "Shit, shit, shit." "Shit." "And then what happened?" " She said she liked surprises." " That's not what she meant." "You think?" "So she put down the remote." " And I put the towel back on." " Well, those are the waters." " Relationships can be..." " Sure." " But they're also..." " That's right." "I've gone through so many blueprints, I can taste the ink through my fingers." "The only other access is through the air conditioning duct." " We gotta move that guard." " We don't have anything on him." " Then let's find something." " I can get to the helipad from there too." "Let's find something." "I remember when this used to be the Dunes." "Reuben taught me to shoot craps here when I was a kid." "I'd play hard ways and double sixes." "He straightened me out." "I was 22." "First time I met Reuben he looked me off getting cheated at an all-dealers game at the El Rancho." "Then he bought me breakfast." "The Sands was there, Desert Inn." " They built them a lot smaller back then." " They seemed pretty big." "Town's changed." "If I read one more puff piece about Vegas legend Terry Benedict I'm gonna have to buy a magazine of my own." "And I haven 't forgotten about that phone." "The gold model?" "The one that retails for 10,000?" "That's the one." "That top-of-the-line Samsung." "Okay, that would be ungettable." "No, no." "You call Teddy Sanders in Promotions." "I did that." "He promised you the very first one as soon as it comes off the line in September." "Well, that's July for me." "You just make it happen." "What'd he say about Samsung?" "He said he used to bowl with the owner of Samsung." "Well, call Danny." "Oh, and tell Danny I know the perfect guy we can use for the roper at the Expo." "I thought we were addressing this." " We were." "We are." "Randall is." " I must've put too much..." "Don't blame yourself." "He should've fired you a week ago." "Bye." "Are you having a nice day?" "And you, sir?" "How's your Bank experience?" " Well, it's..." " Can I be of personal assistance to you?" "This is quite unorthodox." "I have never found myself talking directly to a hotel owner." "I understand." "You're just a customer." "And I'm just an engaged innkeeper." " Spot on." " Spot on." "Well, so far, in my book this establishment is aces." "Aces?" "That's good." "The ace of diamonds I hope." "I see what you're..." "Diamonds, indeed." "Yes!" " Your apartment with everything that we like." "A lovely new living room from Walter E. Smithe." " Hey." " Hey." "The guard by the elevator shaft has a little Hitler for a son." "A real Ritalin sniffer." " You okay?" " Yeah, no, I just bit into a pepper, and..." "Anyway..." "Is that...?" "Are you...?" "Are you watching Oprah?" "With a bottle of wine?" " Did you TiVo this?" " I was reading the paper." "With the sound at full volume?" "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "Hold on, hold on." "And not one, not two, not three, but 12 new beds." "It's not just about the kids." "I mean, I'm happy for the kids." "I think we've come up with the answer to your prayers." "This is what I think we're gonna do." "We are buying you a house!" "How's it going in Mexico?" "Well, Turk's there." "Are they really gonna build her a new home?" "Yeah, for the whole family." "Then what did you say?" " What could I say?" " Nothing." "That's what I said." "Hey." " You guys been talking to my father?" " Why would we do that?" "That's not a no." "He just wanted to know how the nose was working." "Oh, I knew it, man." "He just can't leave it alone." " What'd you say?" " Oh, I told him the nose plays." " The nose does play." " It plays." " It's great." " It's huge." "Turk?" "Hey, are you gonna get the factory open?" "Hell, yes!" "We just gotta break management!" "They can't keep treating us like this!" "Well, I gotta go!" " Ortega here." "Oh, no." " Mr. Ortega, this is Vice Principal Meckler." "I'm afraid so." "We've had another incident with Manny and Ms. Kelso." "It was the leg this time." "We need somebody to come down and pick him up." " My wife can't...?" " We're not able to get a hold of her." "We've left messages." "Yo, yo, yo!" "Buddy, buddy!" "Do me a favor." "Cover my post for half an hour." "I was just about to go on break." "Come on, man." "Help me out." "My kid just bit the lunch lady again." " Yeah, all right." " All right, man, I owe you one." "Yeah, you do." "All right." "According to this the room where the diamonds are held is directly above here." "A quarter billion dollars ' worth of diamonds and 18 inches of poured concrete in the way." "Man, we can 't drill through that." "It's just one thing too many." "We're talking about a secure room, Terry." "This isn't a glass box these diamonds are housed in." "This is 2-inch-thick, concussion-proof glass." "Wired with pressure-sensitive 7-digit coded alarms." "Kill the power to the hotel." "It's worked for you before." "No, see, the case and the alarm both have independent power supply." "And besides, you don't run the same gag twice." "You do the next gag." "How big a deal is it if we don't get the diamonds?" "You have all your affairs in order?" "All right." "So, what we have to do is get inside that glass case and switch in the replicas." "How are we supposed to get in the room?" "Bank is the only one with access." " Sponder has too." " Sponder has access?" "Then we're in." "Sponder's a..." "Well, I believe the term is "cougar."" "It's not my term." "I read about it in Maxim magazine." "Okay." "Let's get Rusty in position..." "No, not Rusty." "Me." "I'm already in there." "I put this whole thing in motion before I even realized it." "I'm so deep into Pepperidge, I don't even think." "I just react." "I am him." "You know what?" "Okay, great." "Great." "Would you just tell them?" "Oh, now you don't understand English?" "She was not trying not to laugh." "You know what?" " I can do it." " He says he can do it." "All right, Linus, go get her." "Give him the accelerator." " Natural?" "Chemical?" " I don't need an accelerator." " Make it powerful." " Thanks a lot." " I'll fly in a Gilroy." " Get two." " You don't need it." " Just one Gilroy." "Last time you did two..." "News from Mexico." "From a journalista I used to..." "She's an ally of the workers." "What she tells me is that the strike hinges on working conditions and the fact that labor feels they're underpaid by 50 percent." "I'm sure you'll agree, Terry, it's always about the money." "How much are we talking about?" " Thirty-six thousand." " How many workers?" " Two hundred, give or take." " All right, that's..." "Just over 7 million dollars." "No, no." "Not 36 K per person. 36 total." "Turk and Virgil got them holding out for $3.50 a week?" " It is a 5-percent increase." " We'll write them a check." "We'll post-date it." "Remember, tell my brother "hang tough."" "This is Roman Nagel." "If your consciousness absolutely has to intrude upon mine leave me a message." "Hey, Roman?" "It's Livingston." "I heard you were out here, taking some meetings, and I was wondering if you could help me out with a technical problem I've been having with one of my assignments." "And I was hoping that we could, you know, keep it on the down low from Danny and the other guys, that I'm coming to you for help." "So call me when you get this." "Okay?" "Okay." "Bye." "Was Sponder with him?" " "A whole new segment."" " Which car?" " Which Rolls?" " "Exclusive rights."" "What's the ETA?" " "In Tunica, Mississippi."" " Okay." "He's on his way." " Think he's gonna fall for this?" " You did." "You ready?" "I was born ready." "Who advanced this?" "Did I not say he was to have this room to himself?" "And what part of that did you not understand?" "How are you?" "I caught your show." "That kid is great." "Thank you for that." "Congratulations on the enormity of your success." " Back at you." " Love and respect." "Peace." "Good seeing you, Bernie." "Allow me to introduce to you the greatest advance in gaming since pari-mutuel wagering." "Get beyond boring cards and tired dice." "It's electrifying!" "It's exciting!" "It's 'Nuff Said!" "Yes, sir." "Oh, my God." "Mr. Bank." "It's an honor, sir." "May I please give you a demonstration of casino dominoes?" "House edge 14 percent." " Is this documented?" " Of course." "The action makes the player feel like they have a fighting chance if you understand my meaning." "Check it out, ladies and gentlemen." "Mr. Bank is gonna give a young and upcoming gamer a chance." "Give him a warm applause." "Come on now!" " All right." "Make it quick." " Thank you, sir." "Mr. Bank." "First round of betting." "Next, dominoes!" "Second round of betting." "Upcoming, community dominoes." "Mr. Bank, if a player wins on a multiple of five on the first spin he or she is a winner." "Payout, 5-to-1." "But guess what." "They're already laying 11 -to-1." "So when they win, Mr. Bank, we win." "'Nuff Said." "That is good." "I tell you what." "Why don't you send me some of your literature and we'll see what we can do." "Literature, literature." "Mr. Bank, come on." "You don't need to read no literature." "All you need to do is feel it!" "Well, I feel it." "It's just that I don't know if it's bankable." "All right?" "Bankable?" "I'd like to place this game in one of my casinos." "Now, that's what I'm talking about." "That's progressive thinking." "I embrace the fact that 'Nuff Said might grow a whole new segment in my hotels." "Hello!" "And I'd like to lock this up right now." "Exclusive rights." "I wanna place this beautiful domino table at our Tunica location." "Mississippi?" "That's where games go to die, isn't it?" "Stay out of this, Bank." "You already passed." "Really?" "Then do for him what I'm prepared to." "Prime placement, center room, Vegas, tonight." "Mr. Bank has three minutes, you've got one." "Go!" "Well, there'll be a series of brocades." "Then the dahlia shells, weeping willows, tiger tails..." " Whoa, whoa." "When's the jump?" " The motorcycle guy?" "Mr. Roads will jump his motorcycle through the fireworks and over the Bank..." "You guys gotta get together on this." "Fireworks and stunts." "You gotta be on the same page." "All eyes of Vegas are gonna be on me." "It's gotta be perfect." "All right." "So take it from the top." " Yes, sir." "Around about 12:00..." " No, not around about." "At 12." "The stroke of midnight." "Go off the Navy master clock." "Oh, don't make a maniac out of me." " Where the hell are they going?" " I don't really know what's happening." "We've just lost two dozen of our biggest players without an explanation." "Well, get an explanation!" "Ms. Sponder, this just came in." "Rush express." "Hand-delivered." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you!" "Thanks." "My pleasure." "Guys." "Let's go." "My dear Mr. B., this is a thank you for all that you've given me." "The opportunity, the kindness, the warmth, the ch..." "The one you couldn't get, huh?" "The one you couldn't get." "THE GRAND OPENING" " How did Ocean get all my big players?" " Would you like me to have him removed?" "They'll all go with him." " Hey." " How are the matches?" "Why don't you come see for yourself?" "All right." "Why don't you give me one reason not to bounce your ass out of my place?" "You know the reasons." "You already decided before you walked over here." "They were all booked here." "You took them." "What did you do, bribe them?" "Buy them?" "Trick them?" "Yes." "You brought them here to rub it in my face." "You know, you're half-smart, Ocean." "Why don't you get real smart?" "Let them play here and I'll give you 10 percent of their losses." " You give it to Reuben if it'll make you..." " I'm not that easy." "You almost killed him." "Twenty percent whenever they gamble here." "Twenty?" "So it's done?" " How do I know you won't...?" " We cash out every night, settle in cash." "Otherwise, take them back again." " They'll need villas." " Villas?" "Okay." "Let's go, boys." "There we go." "All right." "Let's hit the tables." "But I say, why not feel it?" "Why not feel the rush?" "Come on." "Take a trip." "Shake my hand." "Who knows?" "Maybe you have what it takes to break The Bank." " Long past checkout time, sir." " What?" "I'm in no condition to check out." "You've overstayed your reservation." "We need the room." "Innkeeper laws make it illegal to evict a guest..." "Except in cases of public health and safety when the occupant evidences a flagrant disregard for personal hygiene." "I haven't disregarded my hygiene." " You have." " Sir, what we're trying to say is you've gone nose deaf." " What?" "You're oblivious to your effect on other guests." " I really don't see what effect..." " Fifteen minutes!" "Fifteen minutes." "Hey, 15 minutes." "Pack your things or we will pack them for you." "Get the picture?" " What?" " Get the picture?" " Pack your things." " Don't make us come back." " Pack your things!" " Hey, okay." "Okay." "The Gilroy" " Well, hello there." " There are no tomorrows, Mr. Pepperidge." "Call me Lenny." "I need this room." "I gave Mr. Chang a..." "Mr. Weng a chance." "I need the Asian villas, all the Asian villas." "Well, perhaps you'd like to tell Mr. Weng yourself." "In fact, I would." "I would." "Because you know, the last time we spoke, he was quite rude to me." "Well, in that case, you'll find him somewhere between the cashier's cage and the high-stakes Pai Gow room." "He was about to eat, when the mood to play suddenly hit him." "It just hit him, just like that?" "I might've said something to encourage him." "Why would you do that?" "When you work for a powerful man sometimes the collar can get a little tight." "Excuse me." " Is it on?" " Yeah." " Thanks, homes." " You're welcome." "Nestor says hang tough." "Mr. Bank, I just wanna thank you for throwing me out of your hotel." " And who are you?" " Nobody." "All right, fellas." "You're such an idiot." "Careful." "He used to gamble too." "I'm not kidding you." "Right here." "We're gonna need you standing by in a support capacity." "Bad news just walked in." "All right, the Bureau's in the house." "If they move towards blackjack, somebody tip Livingston." "Let me welcome you to The Bank with our finest Kubota sake." "And good to have you back, Denny." "Got some Grey Goose on ice for you." "Enjoy." "Livingston Dell?" "Federal Bureau of Investigation." "We've got all the exits covered." "You got nowhere to go." "Don't be stupid." "Hey, what is going on here?" "You've been breached." "We've had this man under surveillance." "He rigs machines." "He rigs them?" "We've been in contact with his company." "His background information was bogus." "How many machines has he gotten his hands on?" "I'm not sure." " Well, let's change them out." " We won't have enough." "The company's sending over new machines." "If he rigs machines, he's working with players." "We know he has confederates." "We just don't know who they are." "If you see anything that looks unusual, you contact us." "You bet." "You think this is over?" "This isn't over." "I'm pressing charges." "State and federal charges." "Got it?" "Now, get him off my floor." "Come on." "His fingerprints were all over that shuffle machine." "I need a name and all known criminal associates." "Bank's gonna run the prints off the shuffle machine." "Damn, he's good." "He'll get Livingston 's ID and known associates." "That's us." "What do we have in place for this?" "Nothing." "They'll scoop us all up and Bank'll have the best night of his life." "It can 't get to Bank." "I know what to do." "We'll set up a cartwheel." "Back of the house, 15 minutes." "Who 's gonna hack this?" "The ideal person's in the back of a car in handcuffs." " I can handle it." " Is anyone else available?" " This is Virgil." "I'll give it a shot." " I can handle it." " Virgil it is." " Get it done, Virg." "Switch these out first, then do the main floor." "Absolutely." "All right, time for the starter's gun." "Rusty, what's your 20?" "Anybody got eyes on Rusty?" "My guys are getting roughed up and they're gonna walk." "This is a two-man play." "Back in range." "Just had to make a last-minute pickup." "Hi, boys." " There he is." " Hey, Reuben!" " Reuben, welcome back." " We missed you, buddy." "Reuben, welcome back." "Let's raise the minimum." "I'd like to play all the seats." " Really?" "Pineapple?" " Yeah." "Wait, wait." "No, no." "Not here." "I could lose my job." "Doesn't the forbidden make it seem so much more pleasurable?" "No, no." "No, Abby." "I can't be free with myself in Mr. Weng's villa." " Is there another room?" " No, we're overbooked by 40 percent." "Somewhere." "Somewhere we can go where we can be alone." " Please, Abby, take me." " Okay." "Come with me." "Cue the slots." "This is why we have soft openings, so things like this don't happen." " Get them fixed." " Yes, sir." "Stunning." " What is, me or the diamonds?" " Both." "You know, Lenny, I think you're the most honest man in this town." "And I don't think we're gonna need the security cameras for this next part." "Well, not unless you wanna watch the playback." "I thought we agreed to turn off our phones." "I know, but that's Bank." "He's the only one that has that number and..." "I could make you give that back to me now." "You could try." " Do you have any wine back there?" " I got everything you need back there." "Château d'Yquem?" "As long as it's not '73." "Send that to Bank's office." " Yeah." " Cue the cartwheel." "You got it." "I was so happy when I saw her on the magazine." "She's actually one person I really, you know, want to do awesome." "You know, want her to actually get somewhere." "Hello." "Oh, hey, Saul." " Came out here originally for hotel management." "For school." "But, like I don't know." " Mr. Roads told us to wait inside." " We'll be interviewing him." " Thank you." " Thank you." " I'm so sorry, sir." "I tried to stop him." " Not your fault, sweetheart." "You can't stop a man who's jumped 36 Greyhounds end-to-end." "It's all right, Lucille." "I'll speak with him." "Yes?" "Mr. Bank, do you know what Chuck Berry said every night before counting, "One, two, three, four"?" " What did he say?" " "Pay me my money!"" " I'm sure my people will be..." " "In cash."" "Cash?" "You've already been wired the money!" "Mr. Bank, this is..." "This is..." "This is a Fender Roads moment!" " You in yet?" " I hate that question." "Mr. Bank, Mr. Bank, listen." "With all due respect, sir you got a job tomorrow, running this place." " You go to work every day." " Oh, yawn." "I make one phone call I get Shaun White, Travis Pastrana, five of their buddies here before midnight doing heel-clickers and lazy-boys off the back of the building." "Yes, if your audience wants to see a bunch of long-hairs riding rice rockets." "But I'm talking about heavy bikes, sir." "This is heavy bike!" "Fender Roads is a..." "I'm a goddamn American icon!" "Don't change it that much." "Keep the structure." "I'm trying to make you taller." "Don't you wanna be taller?" " You're a midget in 34 states." " An animal in the other 34." "Twenty-four." "Twenty-two." "This is a night people will talk about as long as there's a Las Vegas." "And when they're talking about it, they'll either be talking about you or they won't." "Now, that's your choice." "Mr. Bank, can I just say one more thing?" " Are you gonna jump?" " Jumping, baby!" "Bank here." "Yeah, I'm looking." "All right, Rusty's up." "I gotta say, I'm impressed." "You did a very nice job." "I know I did." "That's why they asked me to do it and not you." "Wow, see, that is me offering you an olive basket and that is you spitting in my face." "Was that your face?" "Okay, where's Eugene's trap door?" "Under the dragon, first machine on the left." "Got it." "What's the sequence?" "Coin, three count." "Coin, six count." "Three coins, five count." "Two coins, half count." "Could you make it any more complicated?" "That's just the first sequence." "Then there's two more." "Right." "I think I think I may have got all five." "I did." "I got all five." "I got all five." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "I'm the winner!" "Oh, my God!" "Progressive slots win on opening night?" "Genuine shock." "Genuine surprise." "Pupil dilation." "Elevated heartbeat." "It's legitimate." " New dice coming in." " New dice." "New dice coming in." "New ball coming in." " What was that?" " You felt it too?" "You place your own bet right there." "That's what you do there." "Let me tell you something." "You are a winner." "Greco's still up." "That's it for Plan A." "All right, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets." "There can only be one winner!" "Everything all right?" "Are we okay?" "Did that tremor throw off the system?" "No, sir." "It would take more than that..." " Sir?" " Yeah." "I have a pit boss asking for an approval." "He can't reach Ms. Sponder." " What's the action?" " Ten million." "Roulette." " It's good." " Book it." "All right, the gentleman's down to a three-number combination." "Eleven, 12 and 13." "You get reception in here?" "That's impossible." "Not with this phone." "Yeah, sorry." "Hello?" "Bank here." "We're getting interference on server one." " What kind?" " I don't know." " Hello?" " Server one is going down." " Oh, no." " Server two..." "Something's in here." "That's the explanation, some kind of magnetron." "Server three's starting to wobble." "A magnetron?" "Who's got a magnetron?" " Four is down!" " And five." "They're all going." "Everyone in this room!" "Empty your pockets!" "Now!" "What's "all going"?" "What does that mean?" "Oh, no." "What the hell is this?" "Security measures." "When the system senses a threat it shuts down and reboots." "For how long?" "Three minutes and twenty seconds." "Snake eyes." "All of it." "Oh, that son of a bitch." "We can't take any more bets until we're back up." "The system's in lockdown." "All calls in and out of this room are secure, but it's the system that secures them." "Again, sir, it's in lockdown." " We're rebooting!" " Coming back up." "Three minutes and counting!" "Two craps!" "Come on, 11!" "Give me the dice." "Hit them harder." "Boys, I think our lucky streak's just ended." "Better cash them in, boys!" "Yes." "All right, guys, shut her down." "Shut her down!" " She is shut down." " No time for jokes, fellas." " Do I sound like I'm laughing, sweetheart?" " You think Nagel was...?" "Nah." "Down the street." "Safely, safely." "Right this way, everybody." "Down the street, safely, please." "Safely, right this way." "Right this way, everybody." "George, what are you doing?" "The earthquake's over!" "They gotta get back!" "We gotta get them back in!" "Sir, it's the evacuation plan." "I..." "It's all over now." "We can get back to us." " Feel my heart." "Lenny, feel it." " No..." "What...?" "Oh, no." "That's gonna stain." "Why don't we take these off?" " It's white wine." " Off." "Get them off." " It's white wine!" "Oh, boy." "Okay." " Hold it right there!" " FBI." " Oh, dear God." "Robert?" "This man, Lenny Pepperidge, a.k.a. Lenny the Pep a.k.a. Sheldon Wills, a.k.a. Little Timmy Hartwell is a confidence man." " Okay, that's not the whole..." " Help her up." " Oh, my God." "He infiltrates high-end establishments through legitimate business contacts." "He was gonna drug you and replace the real diamonds with these." " My God." "Oh, my God." " And that's not all." "No...!" "Oh, my God." "Oh, Abby." "Okay, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " No, I really like you." " Shut up." " Oh, I am so finished." " Don't let it bother you." " I'm finished." " He's a professional at allaying suspicion." "And seducing women of a certain age." "You know, if Bank hears about this, I am..." "I'll be delicate in my report." "Get her statement." "Thank you, Agent Caldwell." "I'll need your full name." "Thank you." "I'm glad your mother didn't have to see that." "You just don't wanna admit the Brody played." "It's a little early for a victory lap." "I hate to break this up, but did you make the switch?" "Yeah." "Everything went according to plan." "We're heading to the roof." " Did you hear that?" " I'm ready." "You know, it's not that I'm just so desperate to celebrate." "I need you to acknowledge that it wasn't a prop for prop's sake." "The nose played." "And, in a way, it was kind of perversely dignified." "Look, let's just finish the job." "There he is." "Oh, what the hell?" "What the hell?" "Come on." "Now, give me the diamonds." " Come on." " Give him the diamonds." "A gun?" "Come on, let's go!" "Tough night." "Half a billion running out the door." "Gonna roll over and die?" "You think you hit me." "You don't even know where my soft targets are." "I'm still a two handicap on a golf course, you know." "I got the hottest new hotel on The Strip." "And I'm a shoo-in for the Five Diamond Award yet again." " You sure about that?" " Sure?" "I got that baby..." "All sewn up." "This town might've changed, but not me." "I'm gonna let you down." "I know people highly invested in my survival." "And they are people who really know how to hurt." "In ways you can't even imagine." "Well, first, I know all the guys that you'd hire to come after me." "They like me better than you." "Second, you're not gonna go to the cops because..." "Let's face it." "You're not gonna go to the cops." "Third, you shook Sinatra's hand." "You should know better, Willy." "My diamonds." "No, no, no." "What's this?" "That's just the deed to 4.6 acres of prime real estate at the north end of The Strip." "The moment you become embarrassed of who you are, you lose yourself." "I changed my house, the way I dressed, what I ate for what?" "For nothing." "There he is." "Thanks for those letters." "They brought me back." "You're more than welcome." " Hello." " Hi." "Looking for Terry." "It's Danny Ocean." " Danny." " Terry." "You called an audible last night." "That's what I do when I see a blitz coming." " A blitz?" " Toulour happened to be on the roof at the exact moment that we were coming out with those diamonds." " How'd you know I'd go for them?" " Because you're you and I'm me." "We were watching Toulour while you had him watching us." "This is your end, which you donated to charity." " Charity?" " Camp To Belong." "The kids are grateful." "They're gonna have you up to visit next month." "Now, you know that wasn't our deal." "If you feel that strongly about it, we'll yank the kids out of the camp and send them back to their foster homes, all 200 of them." " You think this is funny?" " Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad." "Why these children?" "Well, I was just very moved by the kind of work they're doing there." "And you gotta start somewhere." "And luckily, you know, the casino business is doing well and I hope there's more millions to come that we can spread around to other organizations." "But like I said, I was very moved by that place." "All you gotta do is look inside a child's eyes and..." "And that's all it needs..." "That's all the motivation that one needs." " Well, thank you for being an angel for us." " Thank you." " Like I said, I'm just following her lead." " Thank you." "Terry Benedict." "We'll be back." "Well, I gotta jump." "My dad's working a frame." "He's got a part for me in it." " Congratulations." " Nice going." "See you when I see you." "So I guess it's just the Susan B. Anthony, then, again." "I never get tired of it." " Can't get too close." "He's probably still..." " Right." "So..." "See you when I see you." "Hey, next time try keeping the weight off in between." "You ought to settle down, have a couple of kids." " We'll call standbys in a few minutes." " Please." "Please, I gotta get out of here." "Maybe you'll get lucky this time." "Hey, you dropped these." "Go ahead." "I got a plane to catch." "Actually, try this one." "It's been paying out." "I won!" "Look at this!" "I won $ 11 million." "Can you believe it?" "Look at that!" "I won $ 11 million." "Did you see that?" "I can't believe it!" "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"

" And I Iike people liking that." " We don't have to do this now." "But then..." "I start to feel...distorted because... ..because I'm more than that." "I don't wanna be a wanker." "I don't, Sid." "Effy knows that." "She loves me for who I really am." "God, I sound like fucking lionel Richie." "I quite like lionel Richie." "AII I know is, when I was scared tonight, and I was a bit...a Iot..." "I wanted you there." "Effy's different." "I sort of own her cos she's my sister, but with you..." "I just really wanted you there." "And then you were in the car." "The thing is, Tony, you sort of own me, too." "mostly in a good way." "Come on, I'm taking you for breakfast." "You do know it's 4am, don't you?" "Yeah, I know." "Do you reckon we'II find us anywhere that'II do us a curry?" "I've got a real craving for curry."

"Ooooh... yes..." "Barry." "Oh... oh... uh-huh..." "I can honestly say I never thought I'd be doing anything like this." "Shh, shh, shh." "Stop wiggling around." "Oh, Barry." "I hope that was good for you, because... it's going to cost you." " Whew!" " I think I'm going to love stake-outs." "Oh, that... stop." "We don't want the client to hear that on playback." "Men these days have no idea how to treat a woman." "He could have at least sprung for a motel room." "Um... no." "No motel - no receipt." "No receipt - no paper trail." "Which is why the wife has me following him around." "Let's see." "You know, I was once caught in 'flagrante delicto', with the girlfriend of a Vegas mobster." "The mug popped me twice in the gut." "I'm having a hard time picturing you as gangster." "When Bugsy caught me bumping uglies with his twist he went off the track, clipped me on the spot." "Had his boys dump me in the Vegas landfill like I was yesterday's garbage." "He figured, he figured I was down for the long dirt nap... but by the next night, I was back with his skirt, ribbed up with the perfect song." "Hey, wait a minute, you need blood to heal." "There's lots of life in a dump, and beggars can't be choosers." "Oh, wow, I hope she was worth it." "Love is always worth the risk." "Eternity is a long time to live with regret." "Did you ever consider writing greeting cards?" "Dad, I already did that." "The muscle tone isn't nearly supple enough." "What if his wife were to reach out and hold his hand?" "All she would feel is his death." "Now apologize." "Sorry." "Not to me." "Mr. Swanson, I apologize." "Now you may activate the pump." "Let's give Mr. Swanson some privacy, shall we?" "BLOOD TIES 1x10 "NECRODOME" Subtitles subXpacio" "Words can not begin to express how terribly sorry I am about this, Mrs. Swanson." "Rest assured this has never happened before." "Diesel's funeral was supposed to be this afternoon!" "As soon as your husband is retrieved..." "Retrieved!" "He's not some bone for a dog to find, Mr. Ulyanov!" "I'm going to the police." "No one wants this sad final chapter of Mr. Swanson's life to become public knowledge." "Ms. Nelson, thank you for coming so quickly." "Well your message did say it was urgent." " Yes, very urgent." " Mrs. Swanson, this is private detective I was telling you about." "She will ensure that your husband is found as quickly as possible." "You'll find my Diesel?" "I'll do my best." "If you'll excuse me, I believe Mr. Ulyanov and I have some... particulars to discuss about your case." "Thank you Ms. Nelson." "You come highly recommended." "Dr. Mohadevan assures me I can expect results." "Well in the future, you might want to make sure I'll actually take the case... before you start making promises." "And you can be discreet, yes?" "This matter requires discretion above all else." "And results." "Discretion and results." "Why don't you just start by telling me what happened to the late Mr. Swanson." "He arrived two days ago." "Liver failure." "Jaundice wreaks havoc with the skin tones, so he was scheduled for an overnight." "When I came in this morning to check on the status of his embalming procedure, he was gone." "Was there any evidence of a break-in?" "The back door was jimmied open." "He must have came and left that way." "Are you sure?" "Ivan and I were in the front office working on some paperwork." "We would have seen go out the front." "Dr. Mohadevan also assures me that I can afford you the courtesy... of full disclosure." "And you haven't call the police because... why?" "There are aspects of this situation that the authorities wouldn't necessarily comprehend." "This was taken by our security camera." "What is he doing?" "I need that disc." "And a very large retainer." "Take a look at this." "What are you doing?" "There's something different about you." "I don't think so." "Same soap." "Same shampoo." "Same detergent." "Something more primal." "I changed my fabric softener." "You smell like death." "Okay, how is that even remotely a turn-on?" "Decay is a common base-note in most perfume." "Usually derived from jasmine." " Oh." "The fusion of attractive and repulsive scents... creates a sense of urgency, don't you think?" "Not really." "Now watch, please." " Who was that?" " 'Sweet' Diesel Swanson." "Not exactly my type." "He was the Heavyweight Champion for about 10 minutes, until the Boxing Commission found out he'd bet on himself." "Are you investigating his death?" "Not exactly." "There!" "What is that?" "Is that some kind of voodoo?" "It's a form of necromancy, a particularly foul magic practiced on the dead." "From the looks of that mask, I'd say Egyptian." " Hm." " What else do you have?" "Well, the guy who broke in," "I mean, he knew the location of every one of the surveillance cameras... so he picked the door closest to the prep room." "Never shows his face." "He left no fingerprints." "He knows his way around this place." "Boris Ulyanov a necromancer?" "Impossible." "He hired you to find Mr. Swanson." "Well unfortunately, in my business, client does not always equal innocent." "How long have you know him?" "As long as I've worked here." "He is a most dedicated mortician." "A heinous crime has been committed against Mr. Swanson." "There is nothing worse than an Easter Weekend." "I take it you don't mean the holiday with the bunnies and the chocolate." "She's talking about a resurrection." "There's a code word for 'walking dead'?" "Well, many colleagues have had experiences... that would sound 'crazy' to a lay person." "When I started, I would see things out of the corner of my eye that I... chalked up to tricks of light." "Now I accept the supernatural as a fact of life." "And apparently a fact of death." "All right, thanks." "So if Boris Ulyanov didn't kill him, perhaps a disgruntled employee?" "No, disgruntled employees take office supplies." "So where does that leave us?" "Well, why resurrect the dead?" "Love." "His wife." "Maybe he arranged all this for himself." " Is that what you think?" " No, I think it's a possibility." "He found out he had liver failure, he couldn't face it, so he went out and... found someone who could resurrect him." "For the record, Swanson is re-animated." "I am resurrected." "There's a difference?" "Diesel Swanson is still walking only... because of the dark magic to serve the Necromancer who raised him." "He has no freedom of will." "He has no life." "I maintain my personality, my intelligence, my wit." "Your humility." "My soul." "This whole walking dead thing must be pretty weird for you." "Pays the bills." "I've seen a lot of weird stuff." "I grew up here, you know." "Was that difficult for you?" "No, it was a pretty typical childhood, actually, except for the dead bodies." "I used to hide under the... caskets during the funerals and pretend to drive the hearse." "This whole place was like my play room." "I think the other kids thought I was pretty cool, you know, in a freak show kind of way." "When my Grade Seven teacher died in a car accident, they... brought her body here and everyone wanted to see it." "Ha, here I was having slumber parties." "Billy, my best friend at the time - we were pretty young - he dared me and I dared him back, and you know how that goes." "He pulled back the sheet and she sat straight up." " She wasn't dead?" " Oh, she was dead." "Yeah, head-on collision." "But I could swear, though, she was looking right at me." "I thought my dad was going to kill us." "How about recently, have you noticed anything strange?" "Dead body walking around is pretty strange." "What about disgruntled former employees or dissatisfied customers?" "No, it's just my dad and I." "And we've never had a dissatisfied customer... until now." "Hi, I wonder if I could ask you a few questions?" "If you don't mind, I'd like to get this done." " You're moving?" " To my sister's." "I have to, no insurance." "Diesel tried hard but he wasn't the best with money." "Do you mind if I ask you some questions about his activities in the last few months?" "If he wasn't here, he was at the Dome." "It's a sports joint down on King." "Big screen TVs, big breasted waitresses, big everything." "He took a job as a host." "Six hundred a week plus free food and booze to sit at the bar... and schmooze the paying customers." "It was embarrassing." "He was only 36 and he was acting like his career was over." " Yeah, he was quite a boxer." " 46 and 1, every victory a knock-out." "He disserved that championship belt." "I heard about the bet." "The Commission decided to make an example of him." "Fined him and lay down a 10 year ban?" "Must have made him pretty angry." "He gave up." "I tried to tell him that his career wasn't over, but he couldn't get over the guilt and the humiliation." "That's when he started drinking." "What does this have to do with someone stealing his body?" "Nothing." "How about friends or family?" "Is there anyone else who... might have taken his death particularly hard?" "He traded them all in for bartenders in the last few months." "You can tell me if you're not going to find him." "I'm not going to make you any promises but I will do everything I can." "Thanks for your time." "No one could ever hover as well as you." "Hey, you remember Diesel Swanson?" "Diesel, the boxer, yes." "Yeah, his body was stolen from a mortuary a couple of days ago." "And the reason the police weren't called is...?" "This is where it gets a little tricky." "It was theft by resurrection, reanimation." "He's walking around." "At first I thought maybe it was somebody who had something against Swanson." "And then I thought, maybe had something against the funeral home." "I got to thinking, and I wondered, you know, maybe this has happened before." "Maybe he's not the only one." "Well, if body-snatching is the new joy- riding, I haven't heard anything about it." " Could you check?" " What?" "Body-snatchers?" " Yeah, or grave-robbers." " Look, Vicki, I find out why people go into the ground, not why they come out." "Okay?" "Call me when he starts eating brains." " He's eating brains." " Nice try." " His body was stolen." " Making it a case for Major Crimes." " And he's walking around." " And that is a Vegas act." "Look, Vicki, I have five active cases here, okay?" "I wish I could help you, but I can't." "All right, if you find anything out, will you let me know?" "If I find something I promise you will be the first to know." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "The mask is a representation of Anubis." "Ah, the Egyptian God of the Dead." "According to the myth, he resurrected Osiris from the dead." "My friend's a security guard at the museum." "He lets me borrow reference material from time to time." " You stole this." " Borrowed - can't find everything on the Internet." "Ah, now all I have to do is find an Egyptian Necromancer... operating somewhere in the city." "I love my job." "Thanks for this." "Good work." "Klepto." " You could knock." " You could call." "You didn't seem all that interested in the case." "Because I didn't consider the well-being of Mr. Swanson's corporeal husk to be an... urgent priority." "Well, I've got to admit, you seemed a bit flippant." "You're searching for a body." "I have absolutely no doubt that his soul was at peace..." "Yeah, I'm not so sure about that." "Egyptian Funeral Rituals and Resurrection Mythology by William Carmichael." "Sounds exciting." "Well, it's 300 pages of university grade double-speak, complete with footnotes." "He did have the courtesy to throw in a few photos." "Is there anything of value in it?" "Well, let's see, the Egyptians believed that the soul..." " ...was divided into seven parts." " The Ren is your name." "The Sekhem, energy." "The Akh is best described as your ghost." "Ka, life force." "Ba, soul." "Sheut, shadow." "And the Sekhu, your physical remains." "Well, gee, you'd pass the pop quiz." " I spent a little bit of time in Egypt." " Yeah, I figured." "The important ones for us, though, are Ba and Sekhu, soul and remains." "The Ba is what was summoned back into the Sekhu during the resurrection ritual, 'cause they believed that if the soul didn't recognize... its remains it wouldn't return to it." "Hence mummification of the corpse." "But what does that have to do with Swanson?" "Welcome to the Necrodrome!" "Ready?" "Fight!" "Winner!" " Hey." " What's up man?" "Nothing like a body dump first thing in the morning, huh?" "Don't be like that, brother." "I mean, this is our bread and butter." "Aw, come on." "Trace evidence is completely spoiled." "We've got no witnesses." "There's never any way in with these." "Why do you always got to look at the down side of it, man?" "I mean, here we are, you know, out here in the fresh air, you know, checking some fresh anatomy." "It never fails to amaze me how much you actually enjoy these." "Here give me that." "That's my childhood, man." "Walking by vacant lots, checking for, you know, any kind of corpse I could find." "This is why you joined the force?" "That's why every day's like Christmas, man, except for the dead bodies." "Yeah, and you're the normal part of my life." "Just great." "Dispatch said the body's been all beaten up." "Chest all cut apart." "Yup, that's a thoracic abdominal incision." "This guy's had an autopsy already." "Well, how do you know it's not some guy trying to play amateur pathologist?" "Carl Blundell?" "The Iron Fist?" "Local wrestler?" "Yeah?" "What did they do to him?" "The guy died of a brain aneurysm a couple of months ago." "Yo, this dude is famous!" "Oh, shoot man." "You've got to get a picture of us, man." "You just..." "Just playing, man." "You know, it's interesting," "Vicki's working a body snatch case involving a missing boxer." "Man, that lady sure does get some weird cases." "Blundell's supposed to be six feet under." "What do you want to bet that Swanson and Blundell were taken by the same guy?" "Yeah, but we're Homicide not Lost and Found." "What?" "Two dead athletes in a month?" "Two corpses taken?" "That doesn't raise any red flags for you?" "Well, it don't add up to murder." " Hey, Doc." " Hello." "Did you get anything on those names I fired over to you?" "Carl Blundell died of a brain aneurysm." "Diesel Swanson succumbed to liver failure." "So they both died of natural causes?" "Blundell, definitely natural causes." "I can't be as certain with Swanson." "According to Swanson's toxicology report, his blood contained high levels of paracetamol." "Oh, it's an over-the-counter pain medication." "A high level of paracetamol can cause irreversible liver failure." "The attending pathologist should have flagged it." "Are you saying that somebody poisoned him?" "Or he poisoned himself." "You were supposed to call me." "Yeah, Swanson's not the only body that's gone missing this month." "I know" " Carl Blundell." "Mohadevan called me." "Ah, the things you girls talk about." "Look, Mike, you need to be careful." "This is not your usual body snatching." "Yeah, maybe not, but one's a possible homicide." "Swanson may have been poisoned." " Have any suspects?" " Maybe." "We both know the type of killer that prefers poison as a murder weapon." "Naw, I don't think the wife's good for this." "Well, thank you very much." "I'll take that under advisement." "You know, this kind of connects our cases." "Oh, yeah, and you've been so helpful up 'til now." "Come on, come on, come on." "What do you got?" "Actually, not much." "All I know was that Swanson was resurrected by a type of Egyptian necromancy." "Okay, you got anything that I can actually use?" "I'm not sure, but I think there's a connection between his death and his abduction." "Right." "Well, you know what?" "I'm going to use good old-fashioned reality and see what the wife has to say." " What do you think about that, huh?" " Knock yourself out." "I think I will." "As I told Detective Celluci, some of his postmortem injuries are suspicious." "There is something in his throat." "You know, on that surveillance tape, the Necromancer put something in Swanson's mouth." "Really?" "Perhaps this is the evidence you seek." "Before Mr. Swanson passed away, was he on any medication?" "Not that I know of." "Was he taking Aspirin or Ibuprofen?" " Any kind of pain-killers?" " Alcohol." "You're asking a lot of questions about a man whose liver gave out." "Well, Mrs. Swanson, the coroner... found abnormal levels of paracetamol in your husband's blood." "It's a headache medicine... or poison, depending on the dosage." "You think I poisoned by husband?" "For what?" "The money?" "I'm not blaming anyone of anything, it's just that... if Diesel were hitting you or... you found yourself not being able to take it anymore..." "Should I be calling a lawyer?" "You tell me." "Diesel was a good man who gave up on life." "Or maybe somebody helped him along." "If anyone poisoned him, it was those bastards at the Dome who fed him all that booze." "Why don't you go and arrest them?" " Hey." " Oh, we're not open for another hour." "Detective Celluci, Metro PD." "Mind if I ask you a few questions?" "Ever see this guy hanging out here?" "Yeah, Diesel, yeah, yeah." "He works here." "Or he used to." "Nice guy." "He tipped even when his booze was comped." "So you guys must have talked a lot, huh?" "If he wasn't talking to a fan he wasn't really talking." "Ever see anybody that had a beef with him?" "Naw, everybody loved him and if they didn't, they'd sit out of his way." "The coroner found something suspicious during his autopsy so, you know how it goes." "Well, thanks for your time." "I didn't catch you name." "William Carmichael." "If you can think of anything else with Diesel, I'd appreciate a call." "Sure thing." "Oh, one more thing." "Did you ever see a guy named Carl Blundell, hanging around here?" "No." "If he did, I didn't see him." "All right." "Thanks again, William." "Well, I think they might be the same on both sides." "Yeah, that's Bennu bird." " And that's Osiris." " That's the Ba." " What is that?" " Diesel Swanson." "How do you know that?" "Am I the only one in the room who read the Rosetta Stone?" "You gotta be kidding me." "God, I feel old." "Okay, Bennu bird, Osiris, Ba." "Diesel Swanson?" "I think this is a requisition form for a soul." "There would be rituals involved in enchanting the tablet but essentially, yes." "But why does he snap the tablet in half?" "Maybe the guy who wrote this can help." "He mentions a lost chapter of the Book of the Dead." "Describes a resurrection ritual." "It involves a clay tablet." "He's the closest thing we've got to an expert." "I think he may be more than that." "The same magic he describes in his thesis is being practiced to raise the dead." "I think William Carmichael might be our Necromancer." " Anybody home?" " I don't sense anyone." "Never a good sign." "Stay away or I'll kill you, too!" " He can talk?" " He can do a lot more than that!" "You can really hear Swanson." "He's trapped in there." "I'd feel sorrier for the man if he didn't try to take my head off." "What are we looking for?" "Anything." "Is that really necessary?" "This from a man who spent a weekend in a Vegas dumpster?" "What you found was code for some kind of Internet site." "And here we go..." "What's a Necrodrome?" " Necro." "Dead." "Drome." "Arena." "It's a snuff film." "Technically they're already dead." " Okay, I've seen enough." " Excuse me." " Are you okay?" " I'm fine." "Shall we?" "See what's next." "Less than 24 hours 'til the next fight." "Man, I hate working to a deadline." "Who are you calling?" "Hey Mike, it's me." "I've got something for you." "Motive." "No!" "Screw your schedule!" "I haven't had time to find another fighter yet!" "Well, because I was busy stripping the apartment of any evidence." "Because some cop was asking questions, all right?" "No, you know what?" "You find yourself someone." "I'm busy." "Hey!" "Hey, what are you waiting for?" "Get in there." "Come on." "All right, that's enough." "Where did you get this?" "Coreen dug up a thesis on Egyptian resurrection rituals." "We went to go talk to the author and found Swanson's corpse... guarding his apartment and then I, yeah..." " William Carmichael?" " What, you know him?" "Swanson's favorite bartender." "So wait, Blundell dies of natural causes, gives Carmichael the idea for Necrodrome, and then he needs a challenger." "So Carmichael slips Swanson a paracetamol soda." " He had ample opportunity." " Steals the body and... sets up his next little cage match." "Yeah, but take a look at this." "It's a count-down timer to the next match." "Carmichael's promising another fight which means he needs another fighter." "Yeah, all right." "We're going to send an APB out on Carmichael and..." "I'll see what our tech guys can find out on this Website." " Okay, Henry and I will..." " You're going to stay out of it." "What?" "I give you information and you cut me off?" "What, didn't I say thank you?" "Okay, you know what?" "Finding Carmichael is your case, but retrieving Swanson's body is mine." "Knock yourself out." "Did you have any luck with that site?" "Tech Server's in Bulgaria." "They tried hiding it with a re-routed IP address." "That's a bad thing." "Uploads originate here via wireless." "And that means what?" "Sourcing location." "Triangulate." "Okay." "That's here in the city." " Yup." " Oh, great work, Jeb." "Thank you." " You got it." "Go get 'em, sir." "Vicki!" "Please tell me you've got something." "Maybe, I can hear something in the background on this audio." "Can I?" "You're going to have to trust me on this one unless you can hear subsonic sounds." " Okay, what is it?" " Train 79 Montreal." "Now boarding." "Okay, there's a night train to Montreal out of Union Station." "We'll head down there and work our way out." "You know this can't have a happy ending." "When we find Swanson, we're going to have to stop him." "Literally." "Yeah, well at least Darlene will be able to say goodbye properly." "That should be worth something." "Swanson?" "Please..." "Let me die." "Looks like we found our next challenger." "Let's go!" "Move it." "Move it." "They're on in a few minutes." " That's Mike's car." " He must be close." "I'm going to have to have a little chat with him about sharesies." "Must be something." "Well, I guess I should have dressed up." "Oh, I'm looking forward to this." "I wish I could share the same enthusiasm." "Looks like this could be a tough party to crash." "Looks can be deceiving." "Ohhh...!" "Okay, uh... you know what, go to Mike's car, give me three minutes, then switch on the sirens then head back in here." "How do I do that?" "It's the switch marked 'sirens'." "Sirens." "Connoisseurs of the grotesque!" "Welcome to the Necrodrome!" "Any time now, Henry." "Nobody move!" "Vicky, wait!" "He's got my... gun." "Great." "You and Carmichael partners." "Nice business plan." "We were partners, 'til somebody got scared." "Billy!" "Come forward." "The power to resurrect the dead and this is how you use it?" "This is how it was meant to be used." "I'm not going to grow old massaging dead people's hands." "I spent years watching my father fawning over them like they were something special." "More concerned about them than his own family." "The dead... are meant to serve us." " They will serve me." " They're people." "And you're enslaving them for some sick sport." "A fight?" "Ah, it's a promotional tool just to showcase their skills." "And when the right people realize what I've accomplished here..." "I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about the military applications." "Billy!" "Take her!" "Billy, of course, William, your friend in the prep room." "I told you to keep your nose out of this." "Yeah, well, I ignored you." "Besides, somebody's got to save your cute little ass." "Yeah, and you're doing a wonderful job, by the way." "It gets better." "Don't worry." "All right Ivan, I'm going to give you one last chance to surrender." "I got you prisoner." "I've got the zombies and the gun." "Kill them!" " You okay?" " Yeah, yeah." "Diesel!" "Don't!" "Safety's on." "Diesel!" "Stop!" "Can't... stop!" "You can beat this!" "You're strong!" "You're stronger than him!" "Diesel, you're wife sent us!" " Darlene..." "" " Henry!" "No!" "This is what you want." "This is what you want." "Henry, are you sure this is such a good idea?" "Vicki, on your left." "Diesel!" "Diesel!" "Give him to me!" "As much as I would like to do that, Diesel, he's our responsibility now." "Diesel!" "Stop!" "Time to find out what a head shot does to a zombie." " He's not a zombie!" " He's not a zombie!" "You let him do this, it's murder!" "Where's he going?" "Oh, god!" "I think I know where!" "Diesel!" "Diesel!" "Stop!" " I want to see her." "You're in no condition." "No." "Tell her I.." " She knows." "And she loves you." "She knows you love her." "Maybe there is a way." "Oh, baby." "I'll always love you." "It's like he's asleep." "Proceeds from the door." "I'll take care of it." "It's time, my friend." "Thank you." "What's going to happen to Ivan?" "With any luck, he'll go away for life for Swanson and Carmichael's murders." "Being caught in a warehouse surrounded by dead people shouldn't help his case any." "I think I get it now." "That sweetness of death." "It's an acquired taste." "transcript: swsub. com synchro: subXpacio"

"Armadillo's bro looks good behind bars, huh?" "You tell him I called." "Someone torched Tio's drug crib." " What if our blow was in there?" " Then it's gone." "Hey, we got a lot of bread tied up in that shipment." "You're so worried about your goddamn money you don't get it." "This could open up an investigation into Tio's business." "If we're not careful, all roads are gonna lead back to us." "Go find Tio." "I'll take care of this." " Let's just call Lem." "I'll stay here and help." " Did I ask for your help?" " Hey." " Morning, gentlemen." " Guess I missed the weenie roast." " What happened?" "Arson." "Started on the first floor." "Then the whole place went up." "They were able to determine that already?"

" That's not all we have." " Huh?" "Is that a kid?" " Not exactly." "I'm shaking down the new king cholo." "Armadillo." "I gave my card to a few of his recruits." "I guess they weren't kosher." "Armadillo's my case." "He raped a 12-year-old girl last night to cover the tire murders." " He raped a kid?" "Why isn't he in Central by now?" " Her brother's uncooperative." "I think he took her back to Mexico." "No victim, no arrest." " Why would he burn this building?" " I spoke to some of the locals." "It appears the owner is a Theodore Osmond." "He's selling more than comic books." "Drug dealer." "Armadillo burns out his competition and sends me a message." " Me and my boys'll handle this." " Hey, I'm just giving you information." "This is my case." "You see that little piggy with my card spiked to its head?" "This is gangland..." "my domain." " I'm already on it." " Detective, let me show you something." "Any reason why the two of you shouldn't pair up together?" "I just think it would make more sense if I handled this on my own." "You're gonna see some kind of kicking and screaming you didn't know existed..." " you try pulling me off this." " You both want it." "It's big enough for the two of you." "Work it together." " Fine." " Great." "Whoa, hold." "Maybe the doorbell works." " Armadillo." " What's this about?" "It's all about love, ese." "Come on, boys." "Let's go for a walk." "You heard him." "Let's go." " Where were you..." " I was with some friends when the fire was set." "I'll give you their names." "You and your brother are into a lot of things." " Pimping drugs, consolidating chulitos." " No, I'm not like my brother." "Navaro enjoys parties, late nights." "I'm much more comfortable in bed with a good book to read." "And a little girl to rape." "I have no outstanding warrants." "My visas are in perfect order." "There are no drugs, guns or money in the house." "If you're such a good boy then you do as I say." "Pack up your shit and get on the next donkey back to home." "No." "I just got here." "I want to be staying for a while, hmm?" "Fine." " Maybe you can stay at my house for a little while." " What's the charge?" "I'll think of something on the way." "Anyone of you guys not named Martinez?" "This guy Perez, his license expired eight months ago." "I'm calling it in." "What's up with that, Xavier?" "Lines too long at the D.M.V.?" "Yeah, okay." "This guy Xavier, man." "He's got an outstanding warrant for aggravated assault." "Oh." "Now we got you for harboring a felon." " For my wall, right next to your brother." " Can I get a copy?" "This guy's got a notorious reputation, but his rap sheet's squeaky clean." "Unlike his brother, he's smart." "No mistakes so far." " Good morning." " Oh, morning." "Have you met our civilian auditor?" "Claudette Wyms." "Lanie Kellis." " Hello." " Hi." "Another one?" "Yeah." "The brother of that Mexican national." "If anything, he's worse." "Wow." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to interrupt." "Oh, well, not at all." "I was just saying that... unless we get this guy on something else, the harboring charges won't hold him." "I know." "So does he." "We have to find the guy who set the fire, connect it to Armadillo... then get him for the arson." "I want him for more than that." "We'll start with the shop owner." "You know where I can find him?" " No." " Really?" "'Cause it says Theodore Osmond is registered as one of your confidential informants." "Oh, Tio." "I haven't seen him in months." "Theodore Osmond?" "That's his real name?" "I'll get the word out." " Meantime, I'll have my guys hunt down the firebug." " Good." "I'd like to observe Detective Mackey on this." " Sure." "Give us a chance to talk." " Actually, I was just coming to get you." " A city official has just been shot." " Who?" "I don't have all the details, but I'm sure your people will want you down there." " Dutch, you've met Lanie Kellis?" " Of course." "We've got a city official shot at Benton and Hollis." "I need you down there right away." " Lanie's gonna ride along." " Great." "About you, not the city official." " Do we know who the victim is?" " Uh, not yet." " Okay." "You ready?" "Let's go." " Uh, I" "I guess so." "You have a connection with the drug dealer whose place just got burnt down?" " Yeah." " Jesus Christ." "I asked you if there was any reason not to bring Claudette into this." "Hey, you're the politician." "Learn to read between the goddamn lines." "I told you I wanted to handle this thing myself." "What does this mean for us?" "It just means I'll have to be careful." "Tio's laying low at his kid's mom's place." "He's spooked." " How long you freezing us out?" " Until I can trust the three of you again." " Look, I'm really sorry, boss." " Me too." " We made a mistake." " Yeah, you did." "I need one of you to come with me." "I don't give a damn which one." " You wanna go higher?" " No." "No higher." "Okay." "All right." "Come on." "Go inside with your mom, baby." "Beautiful kid." "Hi." "You okay?" "No." " A Mexican psycho torched my goddamn building." " Yeah, we saw." "What'd you lose?" "I got lucky." "Most of the product was cut, bagged, and out." "I had some cash and my records in the safe." " What safe?" " What records?" " Accounts ledger..." "income, expenses, you know." " No, I don't know." "I'm running a business." "I gotta know what's coming in and going out." "Going out?" "Like payments to me?" "My name is in that goddamn ledger?" "It's in code, man." "I call you "Landlord."" "Hey, you and your boys didn't have a problem with the way I do business..." " when I damn near doubled your cut." " Where's the safe?" "Back room of the shop." "One of those corporate espionage deals." "You try to force it open, it destroys the contents." " All right, all right." "I'll get the safe." " And I'll get Armadillo." " I want you to stay here and lay low." " This can't go unanswered." "It won't." "I need a couple of your guys, names and numbers." "Guys that know how to use a Zippo." " Find out where the Torrucos are hanging." " Want us to roust them?" "No." "Give them this address." "Tell them to burn it on my signal." "And just the building." "No bodies." "I wanna send a message, not start a war." "You think you can handle that?" " It's locked." " Have Lem pick you up." "Need to use my phone?" "It's pretty quiet for the shooting of a city official." "I figured there'd be some news crews, at least one of the independents." "Ray, what do we know?" "The victim was Helen Zamorski." "Shot three times in the back." "No witnesses." "No weapon." " Took her to Mission Cross." " Helen Zamorski." " Who is she?" " P.E.O." " P.E.O.?" " Parking enforcement officer." " A meter maid?" "You gotta be shitting me." " This is her machine right here." "This is our city official?" "Will you get your captain on the phone for me, please?" "Hey." "Got a call from the fire inspector." "The safe was in the back of the shop." "Cocaine residue and scales were found upstairs." " That will give us probable cause for the search and seizure." " Nice work." " Can't wait to see what's inside." " That makes two of us." " What do we have?" " The building's owner was definitely peddling." "He's M.I.A., but we found his safe." "Maybe there's something inside to tie Armadillo to him." "Tio's no saint, but he's the victim here." "We have to go after Armadillo." "Get whoever set that fire to roll on him." "I know Tio's your C.I., but Armadillo hit him for a reason." "Motive's a pretty good starting point." "I'll get a warrant to open the safe." " I got a guy who can crack that." " Great." " Any luck finding Tio?" " We got a couple of leads." " What do you got?" " An address in Colorado Springs." " Where?" " She's staying with a Camille Briskin." " Some chick she went to college with." " My kids with her?" " I'm on the next flight." " Uh..." "I just talked to my guy there." " She's packing up to go someplace." " Packing?" " Did this guy spook her?" " No, look." "I trust him." "Let him stay on her." "Look, you go there now... she's liable to be someplace else by the time you land." "Let's just see how it plays out." "All right." " My mom's the one that called." " Yeah?" "Is your mom around?" " Yeah." " Ma'am, are you the one that called us?" " About apartment two." " What's the problem?" " There's a terrorist in there." " Terrorist?" " Tell them about the smells." " Chemicals, like he's makin' dirty bombs or something." "My babies sleep on the other side of that wall." "Look." "I'm trying to raise two boys by myself." " Now I gotta deal with these people?" " Okay." "Fine." "We'll check it out." "I should come with you." "No, ma'am." "You should stay right here." " Mr. Al-Thani?" " Zayed, yes." "Zayed, I'm Officer Sofer." "This is Officer Lowe." " Yes?" " We've received a complaint." "A complaint?" "About me?" "It's her." "She told you I was a terrorist, didn't she?" " Sir, if we could just come in..." " I did nothing wrong." "You people pick on me for no reason." " Okay." "Just let us come in, take a quick look around." " So." "I am a suspect just because I am Arab?" "No, sir." "You're a suspect because 19 guys who look like your twin brother... killed 3,000 Americans." "Look, the easiest way for us to handle this is just let us come in, take a look around." "Or we can file a report with the federal government and let them check you out." " God bless America." " After you, sir." "My brother sends it to me from home." " I cannot control what they print." " Where's home?" " Damascus." " How long have you been in this country?" "Five years." "I have a job." "I pay taxes." "My wife." " What you making?" " Pickled fish." "Mmm." "Well, thank you." "We appreciate your cooperation." "So you will tell the black one that I am no terrorist?" "We'll tell her." "I found out where Armadillo's boys are working from." "The old Sugar Cube Lounge on Juniper." "Salsa by night, distribution by day." "I doubt they have permits." "Go in." "Tell them you're with Alcohol Control." "Close it down." "Have Tio's boys light it up once it's all clear." "Hey, Vic." "We got a positive I.D. on Armadillo's fire starter." " Ripley Verdugo." "He's, uh, flame retarded." " Bring him in." "Hey, Vic." "Shane told me about your family splitting'." "I'm really sorry, man." "Are you an idiot?" " Smith, you old drunk." " Mackey, you bald bastard." " What are you doing?" " Same old." "You look good, man." " How's the brood?" " They're good." "So Shane brought you up to speed?" "Yeah." "You need me to open some safe?" "Right." "Only I need you to go through the front lock." "The boys said it's a smart safe." "By going through the lock... it'll trigger the acid and destroy whatever's inside." "Oh." "I get it." "Oh, Smith." "This is Detective Wyms." " Smith the locksmith?" "That's convenient." " Yeah, I get that." " Looks like the Omni 600 series." " Actually, it's the 700 series." "Right." "Hold on." "The manufacturer said you gotta go through the back to disarm the destruct mechanism." "What the hell's going on, man?" "I thought you'd worked on these things before." "Yeah, sorry." "I'll go through the back." " Good catch." " Yeah." "It would take more than a few bullets to bring down Officer Zamorski." "Officer Zamorski?" "She's a meter maid." "We're all officers here." "You know how much revenue we bring in for this city?" "If it wasn't for people like Helen Zamorski risking her life every day... you guys would be making less than schoolteachers." "And we appreciate it." "This is awful." "Helen writes 30% above her quota every month." " Helen's electronic ticket book was smashed to pieces." " Animals." " Restroom?" " Yeah, it's in the back." "I'd like to see who she wrote tickets for today... specifically the last ticket she wrote before she was shot." "I'd also like names of people she's written large numbers of tickets to over the last year." "I'll print them out." "Hey, uh... who can I talk to about a parking snafu?" " I got this $63 ticket." " Ah, "No Parking 4:00 to 7:00."" "Right." "Yeah." "In front of the courthouse." "See, I was on the job." "I was testifying in a kiddie porn case." "We got the sick bastard, thank God." "But anyway, I got this ticket." "Aren't the police provided parking off of Grand Avenue?" "Yeah, but that's like six blocks away." "I was running late for this, uh, child pornography case." "Well, I guess you're gonna have to challenge it in court." "Come on, a little help maybe." "One officer to another." "I don't fix parking tickets, sir." "And being a police officer doesn't place you above the law." " All set?" " Mm-hmm." " This guy was quite the bookkeeper." " Oh, yeah?" "What's he got in there?" "Nothing about Armadillo, but look at this." "He was making monthly payments to a landlord when he owns the building." "Well, maybe Armadillo's the landlord." "Tio got tired of shelling out." " Fire was the payback." " Black dealer, Latino boss man?" "I doubt it." "Besides, he was making payments weeks before Armadillo crossed the border." "Oh." "Maybe this is the guy Armadillo's trying to squeeze out." " Your boys find Tio?" " Yeah." " Well, good." "Let's bring him in." " It's not that easy." "Sure it is." "Come on." " I'll bring him out." " I'll come with." "Uh..." "He's my C.I. I just bring a stranger in there, it'll blow the trust." "You said you hadn't seen him in months." "You don't know how squirrelly this guy might be." " You're not going in there without backup." " Look." "Tio's still valuable to me, all right?" "Now wait here." "I'll handle this." "Something I should know about you and this guy?" "No." "I'll be right out." "If you come in voluntarily, it'll look like you've got nothing to hide." " You gonna watch my back, right?" " Yeah." "And you're gonna watch mine." "She wants Armadillo." " Thinks grilling'you about the landlord will lead to him." " What do I tell her?" "You're just another local shop owner forced to pay protection money." "Choose your favorite band of brothers." " One-niners, The Monks, Jack-uzis, got it?" " Yeah, I'm good." "Yeah, so is Wyms." "You be careful." "I'm trying to lead her down a different path." "Here's the guy you're gonna I.D." "I'm pretty sure he's the firebug." "Now, you tell us that you saw him casing the building last night before you left." "No problem." "What are we doing about hitting Armadillo?" "We found out where the Torrucos hang." "Your little friends are gonna rip a three-alarmer through it tonight." "Vic." " You get the plan?" " Yeah, I'm good." "Everything okay in here?" "Sure." "Everything's fine." "This is a list of your property." "I want you to take a look at it." "That the bitch that burned my place up?" "You're here to tell us what you know." " Hey, Vic." " I'm in the middle of something." " It's important." " Give me a minute." "I'll start without you." " What's up?" " My guy." "Followed Corrine to the Colorado Springs airport." "Airport?" "Where's she going?" "Come on." "Where the hell is she going?" " Who does she know in Phoenix?" " Phoenix?" " Mm-hmm." " No clue." "That's what I'm paying you to find out." " And I'm trying, Vic." " Are the kids with her?" "Just the baby." "Cassidy and Matthew are still with the friend." "And I got another guy waiting for her on that end." "Phoenix?" " Look, I gotta go." "Call me as soon as you know something." " All right." "I will." " What did I miss?" " Tio found our guy." "This is the dude." "Couldn't miss that inked baldhead." "Saw him hangin' out in the back lot when I was leavin'." " Ripley Verdugo." "Seven priors, three for arson." " Consider him picked up." " You coming with?" " No, you go ahead and pick up the suspect." "I'm gonna have a little talk with Tio." "Juice?" "Soda?" "A new distribution crib?" " I'm here to help, lady." " Good." "Let's talk about your record keeping." "There are some pretty interesting things in this ledger." "I'll tell you what." "I've never seen Vic this pissed." "He's pissed about his kids." "It's classic displacement, man." " It's classic replacement I'm worried about." " Think he'll boot us?" "Gimme a break." " What would Vic be without us?" " Maybe we'll find out." "I'm not going back to Traffic." "Let's just do our jobs, and do it well." "Oh, so now that plan makes sense to you?" " Shut up." " No, you shut up." " Damn!" "Put on a shirt, bitch." "Racked up quite the parking portfolio, Barney." " Thirteen hundred and eighty-six dollars." "Wow." " Uh, yeah." "I get a lot on the job." "I lose track." " What is your job?" " I'm a messenger." " I gotta pay for any tickets I get." " You got another one today." "Oh, yeah." "So?" "So the woman who wrote that ticket was shot three times this morning." "She's gonna live, but not like she used to." " I'm sorry to hear that." " She wrote you 34 tickets in the last seven months." " Maybe you're a little upset about that." " Uh, yeah." "Yeah, I'm upset." "I don't have 1,300 bucks." "And I could lose my job." "But I didn't shoot her." "Where were you at 9:30?" "I was, uh, in traffic on my way to L.A.X." " You fired a gun today, Barney?" " Of course not." " You willing to take a G.S.R.?" " What is that?" "Gunshot Residue Test." "Standard government test." "It detects whether you've fired a gun recently." "Oh, yeah, sure." "If it'll help." "How does a novice comic book merchant buy two buildings, cash?" "Man, I can barely cover my mortgage." "I'm smart with money." "If you're smart, how come you're making payments to a landlord when you don't have one?" "Being a C.I. isn't a "get out of jail free" card." "We found scales and drug residue above your shop." " I know you're dealing." " Reality check." "My building getting smoked makes me a victim." "I can get that stack of cash in the safe and the dollar amounts in this ledger... and have search warrants for your home and other building." "What we find there gonna make you a victim too?" "Can I help you somehow?" "Help me get Armadillo, and I ignore this ledger." "That's Tio?" "He's the guy the Long Beach sheriffs pulled over with your team." "Right." " What else haven't you told me?" " Be quiet." "I'm trying to listen." "How deep is your relationship with this guy?" "Deep enough." " Can he hurt us?" " He won't." " He can't or he won't?" " He won't." "We had a deal." "You said you were gonna clean up your act." "I'm in control." "I've got a watchdog in my house, and now one of my best detectives... is grilling the guy who can blow the whistle on you." "Hey, how's she doing?" "Aren't you working a case?" "I got half an hour before my next evil parking suspect shows up." " We gotta stop this." " Yeah, and we gotta be careful the way we play Claudette." "Come on, greaseball." "Let's go." "Beauty." " Firebug's here." "Wanted to give you the first crack at him." " Thanks." "Let Tio stew." "I haven't finished with him yet." "Sure." "Look at my prayer mat." "I hang it here to dry." "And she had her dog rip it to pieces." "Anyone could have done that." "If it's so sacred, you shouldn't leave it out." "Somebody needs to put that animal to sleep." "Is that what you're doing in there?" "Cookin'up gas to put us all to sleep?" "That's enough!" "Look, you had us search his place, and we did." "He's not a terrorist." "Go back inside and restrain that dog before I call animal control." "And you, stop egging her on." "Stop threatening her dog." "And stop acting like such a victim." "Both of you go inside and stay inside your own apartments." "You do not want us coming back here again." " You're learning." " Good teacher." "Wanna tell me where you were last night, Ripley?" "I was home." "Jerkin' off into a sock." "You wanna see the evidence?" "Have some manners when you talk to me." "How long since you looked like that?" "The shaved head thing went out like six months ago." "Why?" " Jesus, I can't catch a goddamn break." " What now?" " Tio I.D.'d a bald guy." " Vic!" " Yeah?" " You care to tell me how our eyewitness Tio... identified a thug from a year-old police mug shot that only you and I had?" "No clue, but I'm gonna help you find out." "It's okay." "You've done enough." "I'll get to the bottom of this." "You identified the right guy, but the wrong hair." "Wrong hair?" "That's weird." "Now, you're gonna tell me why you lied and who you're protecting, right now!" "Tio will hold up." "He knows the drill." "You wanna put both our careers in this guy's hands?" "Why'd she do that?" "Who are you paying protection money to?" "I saw who I saw." "What's your connection to Mackey?" "I'm just a C.I." "I tie that payout to a cop, and I'll get you for racketeering." "You hitch that to the intent to distribute charge... and you won't see your baby girl until she's 35." " Now talk to me!" " Claudette, you got a second?" " Now?" " Yes." "A club on Juniper just went up in flames." "F.D. says it looks like the same arson M.O. as the comic book store." " I want you down there." " I'm in the middle of this." " Questioning a witness can wait." " He could be the key to getting Armadillo." "An hour ago it was your mandate." "Now you've got me chasing fire engines?" "I have a civilian auditor evaluating my every move." "You're the primary detective on this case." "I need you on scene." " This isn't a discussion." " What is it exactly?" "The cop said this was about that parking lady that was shot today?" "That's right, Izzy." "And the last ticket she wrote before that happened was to you." "Which means you're either a witness or a suspect." " Take a seat." " Well, I didn't see anything." " I guess that makes you a suspect." " A suspect?" "Look, I take the tickets 'cause it's cheaper than the garage." " Cheaper?" " The parking structure is 22 bucks for the day." "I usually get two, maybe three $30 tickets a week." "110 versus 90." "I'm saving 20 taking the fines." "So you knew you were gonna get the ticket?" " It's part of doing business." " Are you willing to take a Gunshot Residue Test?" " Will it cost me anything?" " Only if you're lying." " Burn this." "No more bookkeeping." " Understood." "You're out of here." "Lay low." " Yeah?" " Corrine caught a connecting flight in Phoenix." "She's due in Burbank in 40 minutes." " She's coming here?" "I should go..." " Let me tail her." "See what she's planning." "Be ready for my call." "Okay." "A high-level city official." "I know." "I'm sorry." "I didn't have a chance to return your call." "Is there some reason you didn't want me following Detective Mackey today?" " Of course not." " Excuse me." "It was arson." "But it was Torruco base." " Someone trying to pay back Armadillo." " That was fast." "I'll see if Tio knows anything." " We cut him loose." " What?" "Didn't have enough to hold him." "We had to release him and his property." " The ledger?" " Yes." "What ledger?" "Nothing important." "Three shots." "The victim's book was smashed to pieces." " This was a rage crime." "Try this." " Nope." " Mr. Thrifty knew he was getting the ticket." " Mm-hmm." " Mmm, it's homemade." "Try it." " Yeah?" "Barney's just way too passive." " Plus, they both willingly agreed to a G.S.R." " So what are you gonna do now?" "I'll take a look at other crimes in the area this morning." "Make sure somebody wasn't trying to avoid being put at the wrong place at the right time." " G.S.R. results came back on Barney Plotkin." "Positive." " What?" "Oh, the "way too passive" guy?" "Let me see that." "Look out." "You failed the G.S.R., Barney." "Oh, really?" "Can I take it again?" "No." "In ten minutes, I'll have a search warrant for your car and home." "I'm gonna find the gun you used to shoot Helen Zamorski." " It's three inches." " Excuse me?" "My tire was in the red three inches... and she gave me a ticket." "She finds me every time." "I asked her nicely." "She just laughed." "Barney." "If you knew you shot her, why did you agree to the residue test?" "Well, if I didn't take it, I'd look guilty." "And..." "And you said it was a government test... so I figured, how reliable could it be?" "I just got off the phone with the D.A. They cut a deal with Ripley." "He confessed to the arson and turned in two accomplices... with the understanding that the three of them will do time together at Terminal Island." "This guy's taking over the goddamn prisons, consolidating his guys into one place." "The D.A. never should've signed that." "And we can never charge Armadillo with this crime." "And since we've got nothing on the rape, he walks." "I'm afraid so." "You send me on a bogus run." "You cut loose the only lead I have." "And then you let this guy cut a deal that buries my case." "What the hell is going on?" " We want this as much as you do." " We got three arsonists off the streets." " That's a pretty good day." " Save the statistic crowing for your civilian auditor." "What happened here today was bullshit!" "I don't know exactly what the puzzle looks like yet... but the pieces I see are pretty goddamn ugly." "I have never interfered with how you run your team... or how you run for office." "I get assigned a case." "I'm gonna find the truth." "And if I have to go through both of you..." "I'll get it." "Dutch just got the meter maid shooter." "Is there a problem?" "Just a little misunderstanding." "A difference of opinion." "Keeps us all honest." ""Harboring a felon"?" "Come on." "That's a stretch, even for this precinct." " I'll be in touch." " I know." "I'd rather it didn't cover my window." "It wouldn't hurt you to look out and be reminded of what country you're living in." " I am reminded every time I look at your ugly face." " Hey, hey!" " This is my window, my property." " Move back to your cave, Osama." "Why don't you go back to the jungle?" "No job, raising fat, stupid children." "That's it!" " Sir, get back in the house." " Back inside." "Talk about my boys like that, and I'll cut your tongue out!" " Drop it!" " Don't you talk about my boys!" " You don't protect me." "Allah protect me." " Put down the gun!" " Drop the gun!" " I do nothing wrong." " Drop the gun right now!" " I just don't want to be bothered by her, him, or you." "Zayed." "Zayed!" "Zayed!" "Where's your Allah now?" " Sounds like a clean shoot." " I didn't have a choice." "C.I.I.D. will be here to do follow up." "Fatality involved." "Mandatory downtime for the next two days." "Just take it easy, okay?" "Call if you need anything." "Okay." "Everything seems exceptionally calm." "No one seems too concerned about a dead Arab, I guess." "How bad would this scene be for you if the other neighbor were laying there dead?" "People are still looking for a reason to riot." "It would be very bad." "Is there someone I can call for you?" "No one at all?" " What do you mean disappeared?" " I mean they're bone gone." "Three of my best dealers." " You called?" " Callin', paging', two-wayin' They ain't answering', man." "It's Armadillo." "He's probably already got tires around their goddamn necks." "All right, relax." "Round up the rest of your guys." "Get them to lay low." "He's completely punking us, man." " It's time to send his "cholo-ing" ass south." " Yeah, like six feet south." "Hey, you relax too." "Jesus Christ, am I the only one thinking around here?" "How did the arson go?" "All smoke and mirrors." "Why so vague?" " You don't wanna know." " Sure, I do." "You mean, you don't wanna tell me." "And you think you can't read women." " You okay?" " Oh, yeah, fine." "Thanks." "Why?" "Just..." "Nothing." "It was great spending time with you." "I hope I didn't make too many mistakes." "Not at all." "Thank you for all your time." "If you wanna talk some more, maybe we could grab a meal sometime." "Dutch, hitting on me..." "that is a mistake." "N-No." "I meant if you wanted to ask some more questions..." "I've got a girlfriend." "Christ." "She made a stop at the county courthouse." "Made copies of the kids' birth certificates, came here." " What, a P.I.?" " Yeah." "A big one." "He played one season for the Rams." "Thinks he's Dick Butkus." "Jesus." " Oh, God." " Liman." " Morgal." " This is a confidential matter." "Yeah, a matter of betrayal." "She took his children away from him." "He's been looking for them for over a month." " Where are Cassidy and Matt?" " I'm not gonna do this." " You don't have to answer him." " Who the hell is this ape?" " Your children are where you can't hurt them." "Hur..." "What is he talking about?" "Corrine." "I'm sorry." "I don't know what else to do." " Let me do the talking, Corrine." " Shut your mouth, you big, fat-necked prick." " One more step and she signs a restraining order." " Stop it." " Corrine!" " I'm scared for our kids." "'Cause of what happened with Gilroy?" "That was a one-time thing." " Let's go." " Don't do this, Corrine." " Sorry." " Corrine, you're not gonna at least talk to me?" "It's not just Gilroy." "It's all of it." " Get out of my way!" " This is exactly the kind of behavior I'm talking about." " That's my daughter!" " No!" " Hey, no!" " That's enough, Morgal." " The I.A.D. investigations." "The civil suits." "The money that mysteriously appears." "You got a lot to answer for." "You're investigating me?" "Corrine." "Corrine!" " I don't know what else to do." " Corrine!" " Don't." "We'll get them back." "Vic!" "We'll get them back." " What?" " Mackey!" "Mackey!" "Tio?" " I asked you to leave." " This is my house." "Unless you have a warrant, you're breaking the law." "One of these laws?" "I told you to leave." "Vic!" "Vic!" "You ready to go now, huh?" "Vic, Jesus!" "I don't have to leave." "You planning to leave?" "You'll just have to kill me." "Tell me you're leaving." "Say it!" "Vic!" "I wanna hear you say it." "Say it!" "Vic!" "Vic, that's it!" "Come on." "It's all over now." " No!" " Take it easy."

"DIN We have endured bitter hardship and countless battles.." "but at long last, our home planet has been restored." "We would not be standing on" "Cybertronian soil were it not for the valiant efforts of both those assembled here.." "and our absent comrades" "Ratchet, who remains on Earth to safeguard our human friends, and Cliffjumper, who made the ultimate sacrifice." "But on this day, at the dawn of a new era, we gather to bestow a special honor one earned by Bumblebee." "Through his bravery and devotion to the cause of peace, long before, he rid this universe of the scourge of the Decepticon warmonger." "Megatron." "Megatron!" "Megatron!" "Unicron?" "I do not understand." "Why am I not one with the Allspark?" "Do I yet live?" "You do not, yet you cannot join the Allspark because my lifeblood once flowed through your veins." " Dark energon." " It binds you to my" " Anti-spark." " Optimus Prime used the Matrix of Leadership to imprison you within the Earth's core." "So how is it that you speak to me now?" "The foolish Prime rendered only my material form dormant." "But my energy form was roused from slumber when I sensed the awakening of an ancient rival across the cosmos." "Primus. so, it would seem that Optimus succeeded in restoring" "Cybertron after my demise." "I now wish to finish what I began eons ago, and for that, my" "Anti-spark requires a vessel." " So..." "I will live again?" " Only to serve me." "Your husk will simply be an instrument of my will." "In the company of your fellow Autobots, in the presence of our creator, Primus, the living core of our planet, and by the authority vested in me by the Matrix of Leadership," "Bumblebee..." "arise a warrior." " Nice work." " Warrior, big time!" " You go, B." "Let's get this party started!" "Welcome to the club, B." "Warrior today, and who knows?" "Prime tomorrow?" "Slow down, Smokey." "I'm not sure I'd wish a Prime's" " responsibility on anyone." " I am sorry to interrupt your celebration." " Here it comes." " Primes never party." "but I must take my leave of you." " Sir, may I ask why?" "Though Cybertron is once again able to support life, our planet is currently incapable of generating new lives" "Not until I retrieve the wellspring from which all life on Cybertron is born and ultimately returns..." " The Allspark." " You mean it isn't here?" "Nor has it been, Smokescreen..." "not for thousands of years." "As the war for Cybertron reached a tipping point and the Decepticon army appeared to be unstoppable, I opted to safeguard the Allspark from" "Megatron by covertly sending it to a distant sector of the galaxy." "The Matrix of Leadership will enable me to guide us to its present location." "What are we waiting for?" "Let's take the warship" " and bring it back." " These remain dangerous times, Bumblebee." "We cannot leave Cybertron unsecured not with Starscream and Shockwave unaccounted for." "Not to mention our stray Predacon." "Ultra Magnus, you will supervise patrols to find and capture the fugitive Decepticons." " I would be honored." " Bulkhead, you will lead the reconstruction effort." "Begin by building a landing field to welcome returning refugees." "Wheeljack, I will require your extensive experience" " navigating deep space." " When do we leave?" "Megatron:" "Super-luminous space drive." "Impressive." "One of many upgrades that I've made to your limited corporeal form and wholly necessary to reach Cybertron." "So... we are to rule together, as one? You will rule nothing!" "I travel to Cybertron for one reason only" " to destroy Primus personally." " But... to destroy Primus..." " is to destroy Cybertron!" " Thus will begin the new age the age of chaos! Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "How are you gonna attach the cladding when the framing structure's incomplete, huh? Labor issues?" " Any news of our fugitives?" " Just signs of recent scavenging in former Decepticon installations." "The 'Con warship can't detect their life signals?" "Shockwave must have found a way to shield or disable them." "I'll feel better when that gruesome twosome are locked up with the others." "Okay, you got my attention." "What do you want?" "We're prisoners of war." "We have rights!" "When are we going to have access to an oil bath?" "Well, when are you gonna tell me where I can find your pals?" "I told you before, Shockwave had dozens of secret labs hidden across Cybertron top-secret." "A shame." "Your finish is looking pretty drab." "I don't know where they are, I swear!" "But I have an idea where you might try looking." "Well, someone may want to think about renaming the sea of rust." "I'm just sayin'." "Though I was hoping more of us would be rushing back here to see it you know, now that it's all bright and shiny." "Cybertron will populate in time, kid." "You have to remember refugees could be returning from light-years away." "Movement." "Two contacts at .84" "Approach with caution." "My name is Ultra Magnus." "Are you Autobot or Decepticon? Neither." "Predacons! Phase beats flame every time!" "Scrap!" "Bumblebee, I need an emergency ground bridge, stat! Hang tight, chief." "I'm getting you out of here." "Where's the patient?" "He is suffering from a multitude of internal injuries, most quite severe." "So, anyone care to explain what two more Predacons are" " doing on Cybertron?" " I thought Optimus said new life wasn't possible without the Allspark." "I'm no authority, but something tells me cloning old bones doesn't constitute new life." "Shockwave's been playing in his lab since the war." " Why stop now?" " Doesn't matter where those beasts came from." "We got to take 'em down." "If Shockwave's back in business, there could be more of" " them a lot more." " We need to call Optimus." "Really, Bulk?" "And interrupt his quest to save the future of our race on Cybertron?" "Why send the Allspark to Theta-Scorpio, one of the most hazardous star systems in the galaxy?" "Precisely to deter Megatron from searching this region for it." "With all the gamma bursts and planetoid collisions out here, how can you be sure it survived?" "The Allspark itself is comprised of pure energy." "In order to contain it and launch it off-world, Alpha Trion forged a vessel capable of extracting it from the ether." "it is this indestructible reliquary we seek." "Well, I'll try not to scratch the paint on this tub," " but no promises." " We cannot risk being stranded if our ship is damaged." "It is best that you remain here," " Wheeljack." " You're the boss." "Watch your step." " Who made him leader?" " He did snuff Megatron." "I'm not leading." " I'm scouting." " Fair enough." "But you do realize we're nowhere near where we found those" " Predacons, right?" " We're not looking for those" "Predacons." "I followed this energon trail, which means he was wounded..." "And I know we aren't the ones who wounded him." "Whoa." "You mean we've been tracking... ...Predaking?" "Hold fire!" "Recognize this, Predaking?" "You served aboard Megatron's warship." "Surely you're familiar with this little treasure from his vault the Immobilizer." "It causes instant stasis-lock, though the victim remains fully conscious a living death." "But we didn't come here to fight, your highness." "Then why have you violated my refuge, Autobot?" "We need answers." "Do you know of any other" "Predacons currently on Cybertron?" "Indeed legions of them." "Behold my subjects a countless multitude, rendered extinct ages ago by the great cataclysm, unearthed by the shifting of plates during our" " planet's restoration." " Yeah, well, me and" "Ultra Magnus just about got scrapped by two living" "Predacons." "Know anything about them," " your highness?" " Two?" "Where?" "We came to ask your help in finding them." " For revenge?" " No." "Optimus Prime would deem it a tragedy to stain Cybertron's fresh soil with any newly spilled energon." "So help us prove what Megatron was never willing to that more than one race can peacefully coexist on our planet." "You assume that because I turned against Megatron, I can forgive the Autobots their role in the destruction of my brethren on Earth?" "Leave me be and dare not trespass here again." "I have returned, partner." "I trust you haven't strained yourself tinkering in your lab while I was toiling in the field like a common drone?" "I mean, I seem to supply old bones faster than you grow new clones." "Starscream, given our lack of infrastructure and frequent need to relocate in order to avoid detection, it is not logical to expect greater productivity at this point in time." "At least your new clones lack the arrogance of your last effort the one who named himself "Predaking" Be careful, you clumsy brutes!" "Where have you been?" "Gutting Autobots." "What?" "!" "You were ordered to avoid all contact with the enemy!" " I don't hear you laughing now, Darksteel." " We weren't followed." "Fools!" "Now that they know of your existence, we have lost the element of surprise!" "The Autobots are weak." "They fled like cowards." "We have no need to fear them." "Perhaps, Skylynx, but we must not underestimate them, either." "their treacherous scout was able to fell the mighty Megatron" " rest his Spark." " As such, it is paramount that we harvest the CNA necessary to clone more of you" " many more of you." " So that we may build an army of beasts great enough to eradicate the Autobots and conquer Cybertron in Lord Megatron's memory and name." "Arcee:" "What makes you think we'll find Shockwave's cloning lab here?" "Yeah, wasn't Darkmount Megatron's military H.Q.?" "If the intel I received from Knockout is accurate... we'll find a map of Shockwave's entire lab network in the Citadel's databank." "Not good." "Optimus, plasma storm incoming!" "Get out of there!" "That Allspark container may be" " indestructible, but you aren't!" " I am too close to turn back. "Lord Smokescreen" emperor of destruction." "How can you sit there?" "That's some bad mojo." "What do you know?" "Knockout actually shot" " straight for once." " What'd you have to do" " buff his finish?" " Close." "Let's download the data and get out of here." "Hey." "Something's heading our way." "Predaking?" " Movin' too fast." " Starscream?" "Minions of the Prime, prepare to be obliterated!" " Megatron?" " You skewered bucket-head with a giant saber and managed to miss his Spark?" " How are you still alive?" " And where'd you score the upgrade?" "Megatron cannot answer you at this moment, though I can inform you with utmost authority that he owes his new lease on life to me Unicron!" "And I will not be so easy to deliver into oblivion." " Bothersome pest." " That pest is the very one who robbed me of my Spark." "And now I possess the power" " to return the favor!" " You possess nothing!" "It is I who possess all that you were and ever will be." " We need to retreat." " The only way out is down." "We can't call for a ground bridge until we put some space between Unicron and us!" "Behold my infinite might!" "Let's roll." "Come on, chief." "We're out of time." "Whoa!" "Stop!" " A smelting pit?" " Cybertron's been dormant for thousands of years, but that's still burning?" "Ratchet, we need a ground bridge." "Optimus, if we don't get out of here right now..." "Optimus!" "That's why he's Prime." "Cutting it a little close, don't you think?" "Wheeljack, set a course for Cybertron." "Hang on to your hubcaps." "That's the future of life on Cybertron, huh?" "I kind of figured it'd be bigger." "Hold tight! No!" "Servant of Prime, you will now join your brethren!" "You got that right! I... am..." "weak!" "But our merciless attack drove the Autobots into submission!" "They fled for their very Sparks!" "A victory over unworthy opponents, especially one that did not result in their demise, is far from an achievement." "Clearly, our improved state is not enough to accomplish the deed for which I have come." "For that, I shall require a much greater instrument of destruction." "How is this happening?" "I mean, we put out a call inviting refugees back to Cybertron, and Unicron's" " the first in line?" " Not to mention those Predacons." "What have we come home to?" "What are we supposed to call him, huh "Megacron"?" ""Unitron"?" " Really?" "That's your biggest issue right now?" "Right, right." "All right, good." "So, what's the game plan?" "While Unicron may now inhabit a mortal form, he is still a god and thus cannot be defeated by customary means." "Optimus?" "Wheeljack!" "This is Bumblebee." "We have an urgent situation." "Bumblebee, this is Optimus Prime." "Proceed." "Optimus!" "Can you hear me?" "Come in, please." " Wheeljack, do you read?" " That hit we took did some damage." "Receiver's operational, but we can't transmit." " Nothing." " You have your voice back." "Now is not the time to go radio-silent." "Optimus, in the event that you can hear us, Unicron has found his way back to Cybertron." "Repeat the Chaos-bringer is here, on our soil, in possession of Megatron's body." "Wheeljack, ensure that the light-speed drive is" " still fully operational." " So, what now I mean, besides hoping that Optimus got the message?" "We figure out why Unicron's here." " And what he wants." " The big "U" could have taken" "Earth behind our backs." "Why come back to Cybertron?" "There would be only one reason, Wheeljack." "To destroy the Spark of his archenemy Primus." "But that's the core of our planet!" "It isn't fair." "How many more times do we have to save a world have to fight for the survival of our home?" "Regrettably, the struggle between creation and destruction is an eternal one." "And the battle lines which separate the two... run through the very Spark of Cybertron." "Good and evil." "Order and chaos." "One victorious, one vanquished, each forming the core of their own separate worlds" "Cybertron..." "and Earth." "And now.." "The darkness has followed us." "all the way home." "Hmm." "Tracks." "The Autobot spoke the truth." "Other Predacons do exist.." "though it seems they took flight here." "Locating my new brethren will be a futile endeavor, unless I allow them to locate me." "Vitals are improving." "You will be back on your struts In good time." "Exactly how long is good time?" "Because with Optimus missing in action, we could really use Ultra Magnus' counsel." "Bumblebee, we have each been witness to those among us who have risen above their station time and again rappers, scouts, even field medics." "The Chaos-bringer is at our doorstep, and now, more than ever before, we cannot afford" " to wait for salvation." " We'll launch an attack on" "Darkmount, provided Unicron's still there." "Or first attempt to locate him, in the event he is not." "The beacon it worked!" " Predaking?" "Alive?" " You know this primitive life-form?" "Yes a warrior once under my command, though I thought he had perished in battle." "How fortunate that I was wrong, for Predaking is a loyal and powerful combatant who could very well be the greater instrument of destruction which you seek." " Megatron?" " Warrior!" "I call upon you to serve your master." "In the name of the mighty legions of Predacons who preceded me, I shall never again yield to your charge." "But I will heed your previous advice and face my true enemy... as a beast!" "You dare to deceive me and" " have both of us destroyed?" " Perhaps not destroyed just damaged enough that our shared form will no longer be of use to you and force you to abandon what remains, for regaining my freewill, even over a mangled and deficient frame, is preferable to enduring a waking life as your slave!" "For your insolence, I will only make you endure greater suffering! Now..." "let us learn more of these mighty legions of which you spoke by peering directly into your mind." "Ahh." "I know now what I require to tear this world asunder... and where I might find them." "Shockwave." "How was your journey?" "Long." "Explain why you have summoned me to the middle of nowhere." "Because I have located our army." "The clones sniffed out quite the mother lode, wouldn't you say?" "I recommend that we utilize the warship's operating system to search for Megatron's life signal." "Doc, that remodel who kicked our tailpipes he might have looked and sounded like old bucket-head, but it wasn't him." "That much I know." "But even if a fraction of" "Megatron's Spark still flickers within his body, the ship's scanners may pick it up." "So, you find me amusing?" "Ow." "That hurt!" "That bone could be your comrade someday!" "Now stop fooling around and return to the task at hand!" "I do find it curious..." "that I am not the only one currently seeking the remains of mighty legions." " It cannot be!" " It defies logic." "Lord Megatron!" "But but how?" "Y-You, uh oh, what does it matter?" "Our master is back and looking far more imposing than ever!" "My liege, rest assured, we have been working tirelessly in your absence to build an army powerful enough to conquer Cybertron." "I do not wish to conquer this world." "I wish to eradicate it." "Ye... uh a-apologies, lord Megatron." " I-I can't say that I'm following." " Silence!" "Your master is under my control." "I am the Destroyer of worlds, the Bringer of chaos, and" " the Lord of the undead." " Unicron." "I say we show the Lord of the undead what it's like to be unliving!" "Rip him to shreds!" " Megatron's life signal." " So, somewhere inside that new" " body armor, he's still alive?" " He's perished and returned before a phenomenon no doubt aided by the blood of Unicron, which has coursed through his veins." "The coordinates indicate he's left Darkmount." "Triangulating his exact position." "We were there earlier today." " Predaking's refuge?" " Unicron's retracing our steps?" "Whoa, wait." "What in Alpha Trion's beard is that?" "My legion... arise, and purge this world with your dragon fire!" "Terrorcons created from Predacons?" " It defies all science." " We're doomed! Given that we are dealing with Unicron himself, the energy mass can be only one thing dark energon." " But for what purpose?" " We all saw it." "The valley was filled with ancient Predacon bones." "Unicron's raising an undead army." "One currently traveling across the hydrax plateau towards... the well of Allsparks, the most direct route to Cybertron's core... and Primus." "The past shall consume the future, the dead shall consume the living, and chaos shall reign supreme!" "Unicron clearly seeks to access our planet's core from the same point of entry that we used to restore it." "No doubt, with every intention of undoing our efforts." "So, what do we do?" "We put ourselves between Unicron's army and the well." "Our strongest assets are this warship and whatever relics" " might be stored in its vault." " Last time I looked, just the" "Polarity Gauntlet and the Immobilizer." "Hopefully the genuine article this time." "I'll round up the secret weapons." "Bulkhead, think you can pilot this ship?" "'Con engineering." "User-friendly, right?" "Ratchet, you've given your all to save this world once already." "Where are you taking us?" "We have a right to know!" "Greetings, fellow Decepticons." "Starscream." "Thank the stars!" "We can finally escape" " this dreaded ship." " No, doctor." "We must, in fact, take this ship... by whatever means necessary." "Primary fusion cannons, null-rays, ion blasters everything we need to stand a fighting chance against" " Unicron's army." " B, in case I never get another chance to say this, you've really proved your mettle." "I'd like to think my actions always spoke louder than my words, Arcee." "But it didn't hurt to watch and learn from the best." "It would be nice if Optimus showed up about now." "I was referring to a powerful little two-wheeler I know." "Autobots!" "Surrender this warship! Ah-Ah-Ah." "Funny how the Immobilizer can freeze bots in their tracks..." " before it's activated." " And, in case you're wondering, Smokescreen is in no position to come to your rescue right now." "Scrap." " Skylynx, look!" "One of us!" " Indeed, Darksteel most likely our predecessor." "The burial ground desecrated, strip-mined of all that remained of our ancestors." "You should have been here to see 'em rise and shine!" " They live?" " If you call being undead "living"" "Dark magic perpetrated by the demon who lives in Megatron's skin." "Just be glad you're alive so the demon can't" " pull your strings." " Do you not comprehend the scope of this tragedy?" "We three are proof that our mighty race might once again have flourished." "Their remains must be reclaimed, if for no other reason" " than to be properly laid back to rest." " And who made you boss?" "I am not your boss." "I am your King!" "Nah, Scream won't use it." "He needs us if he's gonna stand" " any chance of surviving Unicron." " You misunderstand." "I do not intend to use this warship for battle but for quickly getting as far as possible from this doomed planet." "Earth would be nice, now that" "Unicron no longer seems to be calling it home." "Shut up, you!" "Now move away from the controls," " Bulkhead, or get stiff!" " There's just one thing you've overlooked, Scream." "That device you're holding" " not the Immobilizer." " What?" "!" "What do you mean?" "Aah-ya-yah!" "I will silence you forever." "Huh?" "Now will you believe I'm joining the winning team?" " Knockout, we needed that!" " Wait." "It... really was the Immobilizer?" "Ha! All hail.." "Predaking." "An impressive display for my creations." "But would it not be more logical to employ your might elsewhere this time? Fine!" "I hope Unicron destroys you first!" "Why'd you do it, Knockout?" "Why'd you turn against Starscream?" "Even if I had helped him seize this ship, he would have probably just fired me out of the first airlock." "Oh and he's rude." " Are we there yet?" " Right on schedule." "And so is Unicron." " Resistance?" " From my own warship." "Demon hordes, take flight..." "and eviscerate them!" "Maybe Starscream had the right idea." "Zombiecon!" "Zombiecon!" "Is it Optimus?" "Predaking." " More flying pests!" " Whom to root for?" "The lines have certainly blurred." "Predacon allies." "You called it, B." "And to think Optimus almost passed down the Matrix to me." " Whoa." "What?" "!" " Yeah, I said it." "But "right place, right time" doesn't mean "right bot"" "I know that now." "Brace for impact!" "Whew!" "Nothing a little carnauba wax won't fix up." "Ugh." "Huh? My legion, the time is upon us." "Destroy Primus with your dragon fire!" " We're the last line of defense." " I would recommend leaving that to those more suited for the task." "Skylynx!" "Darksteel!" "Allow nothing to enter the well." "Really?" "This is how it ends?" "We're not losing our planet not without taking Unicron with it." "What?" "A familiar resonance pure energy, not unlike Primus... one I have not encountered since ancient days." "The Allspark!" " Optimus." " I never thought I'd be so happy to see that big rig!" "We must keep the Allspark from Unicron's reach." "I thought the container was indestructible." "Indeed." "But if this vessel once trapped the Allspark," "I fear that it can also be emptied of it." "So, the Prime returns!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Jacky!" "Thank you, Prime for delivering the Allspark so that" " I may erase it from existence." " Not while I stand before you, Unicron." "Megatron, you and I once united to save a world from Unicron." " We must do so again." " Megatron may hear you, but he cannot help you.." "for he is enduring eternal suffering." "Your efforts to protect Cybertron's most sacred relic are futile!" "My legion is within reach of Primus your planet's very core." "And we both know that the Allspark cannot thrive in a poisoned well." "Downside to wearing metal near a Polarity Gauntlet..." "You're subject to the laws of magnetism." "Optimus, go!" "Save the Allspark!" "I've been worse." "So, how are we gonna get that thing to safety?" "By the only means available to us under these most dire of circumstances." "The very survival of our species upon this or any world depends upon it." "I shall devour your Allspark whole!" "What?" "!" "A trick?" "! As a being comprised of pure energy," "Unicron's Antispark was vulnerable to this reliquary of the Primes." " But if he's in there, where's" " Praise the Allspark!" " Master!" "You're alive!" " Indeed." "Your new battle armor will take things to the next level," "My liege." "Together we will reunite all" "Decepticons and once again grind Cybertron under" " your mighty heel!" " No!" "What?" "Why?" "Because I now know the true meaning of oppression... and have thus lost my taste for inflicting it." "Uh, you've clearly been traumatized, master." "A good power-down and a stroll around the smelting pit will put you back in touch with your inner warlord." "Enough!" "The Decepticons are no more, and that is final." "Yes." "Well, we all have plenty to think about, don't we?" "This is not quite how I envisioned my rise to the throne, but since lord Megatron all but surrendered it to me," "I will gladly revive the Decepticons in my name." "Though perhaps a throne is more befitting of an actual King." "I am not here to seize thrones, Starscream.." "but to settle scores." "In order to both protect the Allspark and secure Unicron's defeat, it was necessary for me to empty the vessel's contents." " Into where?" " The Matrix of Leadership." "As such, my own Spark can no longer be separated from" " the multitude of others within me." " Are you telling us... that you are now.." "one with the Allspark?" "That's what you say when someone kicks the." "To not return the Allspark to the well would be to prevent future generations of new life from existing on Cybertron." "My quest must be completed." "Optimus, I didn't return to save a life only to lose the one I care most about." "Ratchet's restored planets." "he'll find a way to save you!" "We can turn to Vector Sigma, just like we did before." "Because the Matrix must now be relinquished with the Allspark, it cannot be restored or passed down to another." "But while this may very well mark the end of the age of Primes, leadership can be earned with or without the Matrix, and, in my view.." "you have each acted as a Prime." "Well, I... never really had the best role models." "As even Megatron has demonstrated on this day, every sentient being possesses the capacity for change." "I ask only this of you, fellow Autobots keep fighting the noblest of fights." "You can count on us to keep the peace." "Above all, do not lament my absence.." "for in my Spark, I know that this is not the end.." "but merely a new beginning.." "simply put, another transformation."

"Many of the pilots did not know what it was a strategical bombing." "We, as many others, we sign up in them in the Air Force, because we were in war and it had attraction associated with the Air Force." "If it was not obtained to reach the Germans in the plants, it was more easy atingiz them in the proper bed." "E if fell a bomb in old of the street to the side, bad luck." "It has who says that bombings they never gain the war." "I answer that not yet he was attemped." "Soon it will be seen." "The World in War" "Eddy" "Bombing of Germany September of 1939" " April of 1944" "After the Battle of England, the RAF had reasons to celebrate." "The command of the huntings had shown as it was difficult the bombers to destroy a capable country of if defending." "A lesson that the Air Force apparently it had not learned." "Lord Trenchardt had established the RAF as a force of strategical bombers." "The huntings for the defense were secondary." "It was said in years 30, that the bombers long-range they could gain wars, without battles in the ground, that was dispendiosas." "They would bomb industrial heart of the enemy, destroying completely the moral of the civil population." "In 1939, the RAF was not equipped to test this thesis, but after Dunquerque, she was the only one force capable to attack Germany." "E the British people needed desesperadamente of one it has attacked." "The British are constructing a great force of bombers, conceived as one dangerous weapon to jam the heart of Germany." "The first incursions of day they had been disastrous." "The bombers had been imprisoned easy for the Luftwaffe." "Exactly thus, the RAF continued although the losses to be great." "The low weighed ones had forced the bombers to fly of night." "Very well, youngsters, we there go." " It is seeing the same that I?" " You see, Scottish friend?" "Fog, a horrible yellow fog." "For the trained pilots to fly of day, it was difficult to fly at night." "To find a target in Germany in the way of the night, in reasonable atmospheric conditions, it was beyond the capacity of crews of the bombers." "We are in the dutch coast." "Too much fog to see where." "The patriotic films did not have difficulty in giving the impression of that the courage and determination, e a diet of raw carrots, they could surpass the law that says:" ""it is not seen in the dark one"." "I do not obtain to see nothing beyond rain." " I wait that it is not the Danube." " It continues." "Either perhaps capable to catch another thing." "If it obtained to have visual marks for the way, it could be arrived 8 or 10 km of the target." " Open Doors." " It is even." "Clearly that as soon as if it reached the target, was easy." "Bombs plays." "Since that one was only breaking a studio model." " I wait not to have it done to wait." " Clearly that not." "It is felt." "Then, as it was?" "It provoked a great fire, smoke columns, visible the 80 km!" "It says me to what of eggs with bacon?" "The truth was different." "In the truth, at that time, e this was proven, but three bombs in 100 the 8 fell km of the target." "In this dormitory, they had been deceased 9 children and 5 seriously wounds." "The inexact bombings they could be embarrassing." "The Ministry of the German Propaganda he was fast to show the destruction of this hospital of children." "These are the victims of the British assassins, that they had killed, conscientiously, this community." "This was an infamy." "But in the opinion of the Cabinet of War" "Germany had that to be bombed." "E this age the only strategical bombing that Great-Britain could lead ahead." "Coventry and Liverpool had indicated that the German industry would suffer if its workers they were bombed." "Lindemann Professor said Churchill that to dislodge 1/3 of the workers Germans would stop the industrial production." "E had the popular pressure to avenge the Blitz." "We do not ask for favors to the enemy." "We do not ask for repentance to them." "For the opposite." "If today it was asked for to the people of London to vote if it would have to be stipulated the suspension of the bombardeamentos, an smashing majority would say "not"." "We will give to the Germans the same and still more of what they had given in them!" "The Germans were now punishing the British bombers." "In the end of 1941, Great-Britain it had lost 700 airplanes." "The navy and the army demanded bombers for the Atlantic and the desert." "The command of the bombers almost finished." "Taking in account the voluminous losses, the government commanded that the bombings diminished to preserve the division of the bombers." "During the truce, in February of 1942, Sir Arthur Harris commander-head became of the command of the bombers." "It was determined to be successful with new tactics e new bombing." "The Nazistas had entered in the war with the impression in such a way infantile one of that they went to bomb the whole world e that nobody to bomb went them." "In Roterdan, London, Warsaw and 50 other places, they had put this naive theory in practical." "They had sown the wind now and they go spoon the storm." "I played them in the ports German of the north, in the Baltic sea, because, already having made many nocturnal flights," "I repaired that the targets most easy to reach they were of the coast, because some thing is had that of the one to see it is the coast." "If it obtains to see the coast, with its strange forms, the way obtains to see itself until the ports and to recognize them." "Lübeck and Rostock had been first important targets." "Being ports, they were easy to find." "e burnt well." "In March of 1942, 230 bombers they had destroyed half of Lübeck." "In April, Rostock was bombed." "The style was defined:" "nocturnal bombings." "This if would become the standard for the three following years." "He was terrifying; he was indiscriminate;" "but in the opinion of the command of bombers, did not have alternative." "In how many occasions, looking at for the window or taking a walk in the garden, if it obtained to see up to 18 or 20 a thousand feet of altitude?" "Perhaps in two or three days, the maximum." "In how many occasions if it could to guarantee that, seeing itself here so well, if it could see 650 or 800 well km of distance in the other side of the Europe?" "The situation was this." "It did not have possibility of if reaching of continued form white small, until terms it helps navigation electronics, that in it would show these targets to them, in the blackout or through clouds." "The first electronic aid of navigation entered now in service." "Gee was called." "Three radiotransmitters in England they sent an invisible net of signals through the Europe Occidental person." "Monitoring signals e representing them in a map, a navigator could say where it was the airplane." "The Gee was used by first time in the Colony." "Harris sent all the bombers available, in one it has attacked monumental." "In its hands they have the half ones stops to destroy great part of the resources that they keep the enemy effort of war." "They inflict its attack." "If each one of vocês will be successful, they will have brandished the blow more devastador in the vital force of the enemy." "They make right exactly. in the chin." "They send this message to all the groups and position." "It tried to show what if it could to reach with an adequate force." "E that would be reached without great decreases." "The nocturnal hours in Germany of Hitler is gives to be péssimas." "The youngsters of the bombers they know well what they must make." "A calm night, of moonlight;" "it is everything ready and to the wait, of the airplanes to the carrier pigeon." "It seems that they know that probabilities are favorable:" "We go there, youngsters, advance!" "All the day with the RAF." "In all the positions have great airplanes, including Lancasters, the bomber heavy of the moment, ready for this night." "Therefore the night goes to be interesting:" "a night of a thousand bombers." "In this night, 30 of May of 1942, 1046 bombers had taken off route the Colony." "We hear the noise of the bombers e we guess that they were many." "Shortly afterwards, the first ones bombs had fallen." "All we trembled with fear." "Some people had almost fainted." "Many of the sick people cried." "The noise and the explosions they came close each time more." "We think that it was a pandemonio." "Our part of the city was in flames." "The people left running of the bilges and the houses." "Some had been embedded in the destroços." "Others had been handles for buildings that fell." "Many people were in flames e ran all for the side as archotes livings creature." "About 1942, we did not think that it had a so great attack." "We were accustomed the lesser attacks, e when it knew that a thousand bombers attacked Colony, it was incredible." "The moral of the people was very not affected." "It was plus a shock, that finished passing." "The German industry remained capable to recoup, although the Ruhr, the industrial heart, to be attacked during 1942." "The damages had been extensive, but still it had recess in the economy that it could be used in the war production." "The machine of nazista war age good to raise the civil moral." "To measure the speed of 0515 again." "E the Germans also gave, as much how much they received." "The Luftwaffe wise person well the lesson that huntings of the controlled RAF for radar it had taught to them, during the Battle of England." "The head of the aerial defense, general Kammhuber, it created an efficient system." "In all the coast of the Sea of the North it extended a radar net of alert:the Kammhuber Line." "This net was divided in sections." "In each section it waited one hunting, as the spider it waits the fly." "Alcançavamos the airplane for the side, of form that it thought:"It did not see me."" "Exactly thus, still it made piruetas and it balanced." "I inclined a little, stops the artillerymen to be able to see underneath." "I moved myself about 10 degrees in direction to the port and the starboard, during this maneuver, but she was not brusque in no direction." "Later, I went off in this direction e I dived directly, or with. we called to it "Schregenmusik", cannons of 2 cm, we made the same, but we filed underneath and we waited." "We moved in them with calm, to the side one of the other, going off." "Between the engines it had 5 a thousand liters of fuel e this set on fire easily." "The Kammhuber Line and everything what it implied something was frightful with that we were collated, because the German nocturnal defenses they had abated many British airplanes." "But now the RAF already was not alone." "Olá, friends, are the canary seed here for the Hitler." "They come to search it!" "During 1942, the aerial unit of 8º Army of the United States it was increasing in Great-Britain." "The heads of American aviation they believed to be able to attack of day, without suffering the decreases from Great-Britain." "They were vain of whom they could to bomb efficiently of day." "It has that way German to mounts." "Who gives to me to have one things of these to play." "They would not know what to make with this." "They had taken six months learning to press the trigger." " Well, it teaches in them exactly thus." " Very well, friends." "The airplanes of them were very well armed." "Some had up to 12 machine guns e was trained stops to fly in closed formation." "The motto of the aerial unit of 8º it was to fly in closed formation." "Never a thing of these it happened before or later and." "They went making the proper rules to the measure that was necessary, because it was a new concept total." "A power became possible of fire more concentrate, due to position of the artillerymen of all the airplanes." "The fact of if being able to depend of a good closed formation, it not only helped in the defense of one it has attacked of huntings," "as it increased the hypotheses of a good bombing." "Because when it was bombed it was the entire squadron made that it, e the standard was good and open pasture," "e soon the results also they would have to be good." "The first incursions in France they supported the optimism American." "Later, in Germany, history was different." "They had discovered that, at the beginning, bombers aguentavam the huntings e the losses were acceptable, if penetrations were not deep e the bombers kept the formation and if defended." "But, with the time, Germans had also learned." "E thus, had learned as to attack e as to penetrate in the formations." "They had started to attack of front, trying to apanhar the leader e to break the formation, and if they obtained to break the formation, then they could reach the bombers easily." "But it was very early to admit the defeat." "At night, the bombers British had continued its flight, hundreds of each time, but each one for itself." "We saw when them to pass for top of us, to tardinha, in line," "I would not have changed of place with them." "It preferred the formation closed, the fire power, to have that to go as they." "When it was flied with the RAF, he was each one for itself." "After terms last the coast dutch I felt a blow in the face, the windshield arrebentou e I was wounded, in the arm, in the shoulders and the head." "E the airplane uncontrolled momentarily." "Vi reason not to say that it was wounded, so that they did not think:" ""It goes to die at any time."" "The weapon blew up of new in the front of the airplane, to our side, and the bullet reached the arm of the officer to my side," "I was with splinters in the leg that they had pulled out me the skin of the hand." "The elevator had blown up." "It is the helm that keeps the airplane leveled rectum and, of each side of the tail." "E the elevator he had been broken the shot, what it means that had that to pull the stick it stops backwards, everything stops backwards, to keep the straight and leveled airplane." "The navigator also had that to help to push it stops backwards, because my shoulder." "This hand she was weak, had been reached e had that to keep the stick it stops backwards, putting the hands for front." "The officer held it with another hand, of the good arm." "Thus, in set we kept, it stops backwards, to keep the straight and leveled airplane." "E was not a question to go in front." "The truth is that the four engines still functioned." "If one of them had failed, I had thought "we cannot continue"." "Another factor it was that had been turned behind, it had more 600 or 700 airplanes, more or less in the same route, extending itself for 10 the 15 km for the sides, e perhaps with about 4 the 6 a thousand feet," "it had that to capsize front for them e to enter in the way of them to come back." "E more, if had deviated me 90 degrees for prevent them, exactly thus it had that to pass for many." "Later, I observed the target pointer, April the doors of the bombs," "I kept the most steady airplane possible in relation to the target e I remained leveled rectum and." "I find that it was for that that excitement had all, for terms a photograph of the target, in the way of that confusion." "But as soon as we take off the photograph, I capsized I directed and me for the base." "Something of that I remember to feel in this trip in particular, it was that we had that to come back, because wise person that we were wounded." "None of the others obtained to make it, exactly straight and been even, therefore, to fly of night without a helm, with the stick in the belly and without instruments, as were the case, it would have been impossible." "Some had gone off against us times when we return, but we do not come back to be reached." "E we finish arriving at England e vi the searchlights shining." "When aterrisei, the train of landing it broke e we slide of belly about 45 meters." "Later he stopped and I disconnect the engines to prevent the fire." "Then it only knew that the navigator it dies, because it fell to my side." "THE BLOOD CONGEALED, BUT THE BOMBER CONTINUED" "THE SON OF THE BLACKSMITH" "WOUNDED, BOMBED TARGET IN A DESTROYED AIRPLANE" "E GAINED THE CROSS OF THE VICTORY" "How many enemy huntings saw?" "I did not obtain to count all, but at least 65." "I left to count them when I arrived at the 50." "Everybody wise person who the incumbency of combat they were 25 missions, because he would be died in the end of this period." "Therefore, it did not make sensible to ask for to be more time." "The teams of the bombers they lived a curious war:" "one day in action, the day following in the city." "When our group was not flying, generally they went London, they passed the day there e, for times, if still they had money, they telephoned to know if it would have mission in the following day," "e, if did not have, they were in the city." "The antiaircraft artillery goes to be weighed necessary e." "Already they had passed for worse situation." "They remember that its worse enemy is the single-engine hunting." "I remember a night, in the club of the officers, our officer of operations was spilling whiskey in a machine, one of those where if it puts 25 cents, trying to convince it to give the prize." "We tried to live the life optimum possible." "The things go to be hard." "They have to put the neck there, to be there and to mark." "All vocês." "I find that to fly is so impersonal, that is the combat flights, that feeling is not had the same of loss when an airplane is abated, that it would be had when it is in the battlefield" "e the friend to our side is died." "Young had come of Great-Britain, of America, the busy Europe e of the Commonwealth to fight and to die in the offensive one of aviation more determined until then." "In January of 1943, in Casablanca," "The Churchills and the Roosevelts had combined efforts of the bombers, in the preparation of the Europe Nazista for Day D." "Dock berths of submarines." "plants of airplanes." "armament plants." "oil refineries." "e transports was white with priority for the bombings of precision." "But the bombing of precision at night it was impossible for Harris." "The attempt to blow up barrages of the Ruhr with bombs special it had partial success and only it cost the life several of the best pilots." "Although the incursion to have led to a bigger precision, nor all the levees they had been reached." "The production of weapons of the Ruhr it was not affected." "Harris thought that only the increasing onslaught of the nocturnal bombings it would go to jam the capacity German industrial." "At this time we had airplanes better, it had much Lancaster." "We were finishing with the Stirling e Halifax, less efficient." "We had radar equipment better, e we had excellent navigators, chosen teams, e this age the essence of that." "These navigators were capable to arrive more close to the targets of what previously." "Later, we launched rockets, hundreds of rockets, same e that we errássemos the target, we could identify some very important things in the ground, as lakes or curves in the river." "E from there, we could arrive at the target e to launch rockets of diverse colors." "E, later, we had target pointers that were." "a cluster enormous of grapes imagines incandescent, falling the 2 or 4 a thousand feet, where it wants that we wanted to detonate them." "In the end of July of 1943," "Harris deflagrou the improved technology with effect devastadores, in Hamburg." "The efficiency of the first incursion in Hamburg it had, finally, terms permission to use something that we had has much time, e that was known as "window"," "that it consisted of launching clouds of aluminum leaf ribbons, that they not only harmed the devices of German localization, but also its antiaircraft ones." "None of us, civilians or firemen, he knew what he transferred himself in this night." "It was an incursion very weighed, but we had had almost the same one year before." "We were not prepared for the fire storm that half hour blew up after the incursion." "The bombing, combined with the wave of heat of the Summer, a Tornado of flames would create, a fire storm." "I was for an area at the beginning of the dock berths." "She was crossed for canals." "The people tried to jump for there to run away to the fire, but the also ardia water." "It is difficult to explain because the water was in flames." "It had many boats, small, that they came alongside in the canals." "They had blown up and the oil catching fire had IDO to stop in the water." "E the people, also in flames, they jumped for there, e. and ardiam." "They swam, they ardiam and they sank." "The majority of the people died had to the insuportável heat." "Not burnt, suffocated or intoxicadas for carbon monoxide." "We think that, in some places, the temperature it reached a thousand centigrade degrees." "The nocturnal British attacks e the American incursions diurnas they had lasted one week almost." "died 30 a thousand." "In Hamburg we discover for the first time, that the moral of the German people it could so be destroyed that the work in the industry, in armament industry, would go to fall down." "At the time, Speer said that more 6 incursions of these and the war finished." "The Allies not they had had this capacity." "The shock passed." "At the same time, the unit aerial of 8º Army it increased the power of the incursions diurnas against necessary targets." "This group will go to bomb of an altitude of 13 a thousand feet." "We find that low the altitude will be compensated for the element surprise." "Two weeks after Hamburg, they planned the final blow against the German industry." "Light, please." "This group of buildings is the target." "This will be the target." "If the bombing if to concentrate in this area, it must destroy the plant." "The target was the production plants of rolamentos in Schweinfurt, that they supplied most of the necessities of Germany." "The offensive force it would be divided in two." "The first wave would go for a secondary target, the plant of Messerschmidts in Regensburg." "Later, it would continue without barriers northward of Africa." "The second wave, 10 minutes after the first one, the Schweinfurt would arrive while the huntings German replenished." "Its battle would be in the return for house." "We enter, I we entered without escort of huntings e I crossed the Europe without escort of huntings, with about 125 airplanes that they were in the division, at the time." "Haunted, the antiaircraft German she traced the way of the first wave, when it passed, penetrating in Germany." "They did not know that plan was going badly." "The British time helped to ruin the careful plan of the Americans." "Unexpected low clouds they had delayed the take-off of 2ª wave." "Result:the Luftwaffe, replenished and with new weapons, it was to the wait of it." "We did not wait an attack so inside of the country without escort of huntings, e we are very frightened." "Schweinfurt resulted of conditions favorable to the huntings German e of the fact to be able to bring all the huntings for the combat, to intercept the bombers;" "everything this favored our results." "21 flying ortalezas if had lost before falling the first bomb in Schweinfurt." "1ª division, that arrived later, it more had the weighed decreases, because they had had that to come back, after already having entered." "I find that we finish the day losing about 60 airplanes, thing that did not cheer nobody." "The cost was high." "the production of rolamentos was interrupted during six weeks." "When vocês they had attacked Schweinfurt, at the beginning, it was a nightmare to exceed this." "But later I had one very good representative, Kessler, e it made everything, not only the repair, but also it substituted rolamentos for other parts that also they served;" "they were not so good, but they served." "In the attack of the two waves, 120 airplanes had been lost more than or they had been damaged without I fix." "To show that they had reason in Schweinfurt, the Americans would have that to come back." "Of course, I was disappointed, to a large extent because, ordering my crews for there, wise person that would suffer decreases you add, e if we had made a good one work, these would be prevented." "But nobody always makes right in the target." "We come back there because we had a period of good time e because it was our target of bigger priority." "Therefore we come back." "In day 14 of October, it had surrounds of 300 bombers in England." "England had airplanes for all, it seemed an airport." "E this very difficult age." "It took some time to group bombers in closed formation." "These complicated maneuvers they alerted the Luftwaffe on the power and the direction of an attack force." "Two terços of the huntings German they were concentrated against the aerial unit of 8º." "The pilot of the hunting was the animal papão." "The hunting had eyes e, in many aspects," "it had a competent man in the command e when it concentrated itself in us, we had many times problems." "I was so close that he could see the artilleryman of the rear, e I saw scared it so as." "They communicated the position of the huntings for the intercom." "For times, they scared as much that they continued holding the microphone e crying out for it." "They had started a thousand meters, with the almost continuous shots it stops scaring in them." "E I said my pilots more new, that they did not have experience, to close the eyes when they attacked for backwards." "It did not have much time to think." "it was pointed weapon with respect to they, it was always looked at for all sides to the search of enemy huntings e we keep the weapons pointed with respect to them." " Navigating, as it is this?" " Well." "We go there." "The worse part of the incursion was exactly before if reaching the target." "We were folloied by huntings that they took in them until the white o e they later went even so e we launched the bombs." "To follow, they folloied in them after the target." "In Schweinfurt, more was destroyed of 60% of the production of rolamentos." "The Americans had lost 60 flying ortalezas." "If vocês they had repeated the incursions shortly afterwards e in had not given time to them to reconstruct, the result would have been disastrous." "We could accept the decreases that we suffer without knowing if we went or not to obtain, when we thought that rolamentos came of Sweden, possibly through Switzerland?" "If it is not known, not if they continue these things." "Thus, the strategy was turned aside from individual targets as Schweinfurt, for another offensive nocturnal one:" "Berlin." "With the American support, Harris thought to be able to destroy Berlin in six months e to gain the war." "But the weakened aerial unit of 8º it could not be joined it." "It sent the signals most amazing." "One that I always remember, e is the type of thing that if reads to the crews in the meetings, it said the following one:" ""This night goes to the great city", that is, Berlin." "They have the chance to light a fogueira in the belly of the enemy e of it to burn the black heart." "The crews, after to applaud a thing of these, they did not want an airplane." "If they fulled its pockets of bombs and they indicated Berlin, they would go alone." "The command of bombers it had that to continue alone." "It was very far and the time, in the end of 1943, were particularly bad." "But all the nights, the bombers went Berlin e to other cities in the interior of Germany." "The crews of Harris they had made terrible estragos." "Berlin is living true total war." "The incredible weight of the attack of the RAF in the capital of the nazista country it made the Huno to cambalear." "As it must be repented of impious attacks Warsaw," "Roterdã, Belgrade, London, Coventry and to all the others." "The day and the night of adjustment of accounts arrived." "What he finds of this, Keith?" "I find that, of this time, the Germans they had suffered well." "We make right in full." "However, many of the offices e plants of Berlin they had obtained to continue working." "The experience that I have is that the people had been insensitive." "They covered the streets as shades, but still they worked as automatons." "We did not have difficulty in arriving there, but I repaired that each German city makes fire antiaircraft indiscriminately." "The technological advantages that they had prevailed in Hamburg already they were not applied." "The German antiaircraft defense, one more time, it was had in advance." "Berlin seemed that it would go to remain Berlin." "At the beginning of the Spring of 1944, Harris had not destroyed the city." "The command of bombers had been well damaged for the Germans." "In the four months of incursions against Berlin and other targets, a thousand airplanes had been lost, the force of first line of the command." "But Harris did not yield, nor it yields, the defeat." "The decreases in the Battle of Berlin not they had been more than what the ones that we would have if we had IDO to another place in the interior of Germany." "The people seem to forget themselves that the command of bombers it fought a thousand battles during the war:" "if it cannot have success in all." "I do not say that the Battle of Berlin it was a defeat, or something seemed." "I think that it was a great aid for the defeat of Germany." "It had thousand of cannons antiaircraft weighed, ammunition millions for them e hundreds of thousand of soldiers that they had been deviated of the fight in the front of the east." "Therefore, I must say that with the aerial attacks to Germany at the beginning of 1943, we had, in the truth, one second front." "Although the devastação, the Germans had followed in front." "The German industry continued to supply to the armies that they fought fierce in the East and Italy." "The thesis of the strategical bombing it remained to prove." "The lições of Schweinfurt had been learned well for the Americans." "Reequipped, the RAF had been joined it against Berlin, in March of 1944." "But now they were escorted for the Mustang, an extraordinary airplane, that it would change everything." "It had the reach of a bomber e the performance of one hunts." "The German diurne hunting had found an adversary to the height." "In the end of the Spring of 1944, the German hunting had lost space for the Spitfire and the Hurricane." "The Americans, finally, they had looser the Luftwaffe in the Europe, during the day, with the huntings long-range." "We did not have nothing of sort the same e I find that they in they had scared sufficiently." "The main concern was the amount with that they appeared." "The Germans had lost the control of the diurne airspace." "Now, the Allies could launch incursions diurnas when they wanted." "But, in March of 1944, both the forces of bombers they had been placed under the command of Eisenhower, to prepare Day D." "It would have a truce of six months, before the bombers allies to be able to come back to fly, one more time, to break the will of the German people."

"Water." "Earth." "Fire." "Air." "Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony." "Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked." "Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them." "But when the world needed him most, he vanished." "A hundred years passed, and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar an airbender named Aang." "And although his airbending skills are great." "He has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone." "But I believe Aang can save the world." "Spare coins for weary travelers?" "This is humiliating!" "We're royalty." "These people should be giving us whatever we want." "They will... if you ask nicely." "Spare change for a hungry old man?" "Aww, here you go." "The coin is appreciated, but not as much as your smile." "How about some entertainment in exchange for... a gold piece." "We're not performers." "Not professional, anyway." "It'sa long,longway toBaSingSe,but the girlsin thecitytheylooksooprett-ay!" "Come on!" "We're talking a gold piece here!" "Let's see some action!" "Dance!" "Andtheykisssosweetthatyou've really gottomeetthegirlsfromBaSingSe!" "Nothing like a fat man dancing for his dinner." "Here ya go!" "Such a kind man!" "Hey, you takin' us down for a reason?" "Aang!" "Why are we going down?" "What?" "I didn't even notice." "Are you noticing now?" "Is something wrong?" "I know this is gonna sound weird, but..." "I think the swamp is... calling to me." "It is telling ya where we can get something to eat?" "No, I..." "I think it wants us to land there." "No offense to the swamp, but I don't see any land there to land on." "I don't know,..." "Bumi said to learn earthbending I would have to wait and listen, and now I'm actually hearing the earth." "Do you want me to ignore it?" "Yes!" "I don't know..." "There's something ominous about that place." "See?" "Even Appa and Momo don't like it here." "Okay, since everyone feels so strongly about this... bye swamp." "Yip!" "Yip!" "You better throw in an extra "yip"!" "We gotta move!" "Where's Appa and Momo?" "Appa!" "Momo!" "Sokka!" "You've got an elbow leech!" "Where!" "Where!" "Where do you think?" "Why do things keep attaching to me!" "You couldn't find them?" "No... and the tornado... it just disappeared." "We better speed things up!" "Maybe... we should be a little nicer to the swamp." "Aang, these are just plants!" "Do you want me to say "please" and "thank you" as I swing my machete back and forth?" "Maybe you should listen to Aang." "Something about this place feels... alive." "I'm sure there are lots of things that are alive here, and if we don't wanna wind up getting eaten by them, we need to find Appa as fast as we can." "Appa!" "Momo!" "There's no way they can hear us and no way we can see them." "We'll have to make camp for the night." "What was that!" "?" "Nothing." "Just swamp gas." "Look, there's nothing supernatural going on here." "I think we should build a fire..." "Sokka, the longer we're here the more I think you shouldn't be doing that." "No, I asked the swamp." "It said this was fine." "Right, swamp? "No problem, Sokka!"" "Does anyone else get the feeling that we're being watched?" "Please, we're all alone out here." "...except for them." "Right, except for them." "Guys?" "What'd you reckon make a track like that, Tho?" "Don't know, Due." "Something with six legs." "Pretty big'uns too." "Leaves a nice, wide trail to folla'." "You know what's at the end of that trail?" "Dinner." "Aang?" "Sokka?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Can you help me?" "Mom?" "Mom!" "I can't believe..." "Aang!" "Stupid swamp!" "Dumb, ugly vines!" "Katara!" "You think you're so tough, huh?" "Hello?" "Yue?" "This is just a trick of the light...swamp gas I... hit my head running away last night." "I'm going crazy." "You didn't protect me." "Katara!" "Appa!" "Hello?" "Who are you?" "Hey, come back!" "Look at that, Tho." "Is that little hairy fellow riding' that thing?" "Naw, that's what they call a "lemoo," saw one at a travelin' show once." "Real smart they say." "Bet he tastes a lot like possum chicken." "You think everything tastes like possum chicken." "C'mon now, fellas." "Just a little closer." "Nice and easy." "Nothing to worry about." "We just fixin' to eat ya." "What'd ya say that fer?" "Well, we are!" "But you don't have to tell 'em that!" "Well how'd I know they'd understand me!" "Come on!" "Who are you?" "What do you guys think you're doing!" "?" "I've been looking all over for you!" "Well, I've been wandering around looking for you!" "I was chasing some girl." "What girl?" "I don't know." "I heard laughing and I saw some girl in a fancy dress." "Well, there must be a tea party here and we just didn't get our invitations!" "I thought I saw Mom." "Look, we were all just scared and hungry and our minds were playing tricks on us." "That's why we all saw things out here." "You saw something too?" "I thought I saw Yue." "But, that doesn't prove anything." "Look, I think about her all the time, and you saw Mom, someone you miss a lot." "What about me?" "I didn't know the girl I saw." "And all our visions led us right here." "Okay... so where's here?" "The middle of the swamp?" "Yeh, the center..." "It's the heart of the swamp, it's been calling us here, I knew it."

"Nothing mystical about it." "Oh, the swamp is a mystical place, all right." "It's sacred." "I reached enlightenment right here under the banion grove tree." "I hear it callin' me, just like you did." "Sure ya did." "It seems real chatty."

"You tell me." "Time is an illusion... so, it's... someone I will meet?" "Sorry to interrupt the lesson, but we still need to Appa and Momo." "I think I know how to find them."

"How you like that possum chicken?" "Tastes just like arctic hen." "So why were you guys so interested in eating Appa?" "You've got plenty of those big things wandering around." "You want me to eat old Slim?" "He's like a member of the family!" "Nice Slim!" "Oh, oh, he don't eat no bugs!" "That's people food." "Where d'you say you're from?" "The South Pole." "Didn't know there was waterbenders anywhere but here." "They got a nice swamp there, do they?" "No, it' all ice and snow." "Hmm." "No wonder you left." "Well, I hope you realize now that nothing strange was going on here." "Just a bunch of greasy people living in a swamp." "What about the visions?" "I told you, we were hungry." "I'm eating a giant bug!" "But what about when the tree showed me where Appa and Momo were?" "That's Avatar stuff, that doesn't count." "The only thing I can't figure out is how you made that tornado that sucked us down." "I can't do anything like that." "I just bender the water in the plants." "Well, no accounting for weather." "Still, there's absolutely nothing mysterious about the swamp." "Who's there?"

"Kick it in!" "It's solid." "It's not balsa or anything." "Spenser, he's trying to kill me!" "Okay." "All right...all right." "Please hurry!" "Spenser, what are you doing?" ""Here's Johnny! "" "Hurry." "What have we here?" "Conveniently found a mallet outside, but I'm going to swap it for this one." "All right, punk." "I guess the question you got to ask yourself today is, "Do I feel lucky?"" "Well, punk, do you?" "Don't ever show your face on this mews again!" "Come on." "We've got to get out of here." "Let's go." "Go, go, go!" "I thought I could get the letters and then some maniac called Spenser...who says he works for you, fired a pistol at me!" "Listen, we are too close to let this fall apart." "Now, listen." "Hawkins, there is a loose cannon out there and I want him dealt with immediately." "Just think, Hawkins..." "This time next week, these lights will be flashing all across Russia." "This room will be alive again...with happy voices and the patter of little feet." "Voices from across Europe being monitored and decoded." "The feet of agents rushing in with urgent communiques." "The new funding...new equipment...new weapons, new poisons." "Happy days, Hawkins." "Happy days." "Yes, Sir Roger." "It seems there's a bit of a problem...with Spenser and the girl." "Problem?" "Embleton tried to collect the letters, Spenser tried to shoot him." "Shoot him?" "Embleton says he seemed a trifle unhinged." "But what about the girl?" "This is totally unacceptable." "The zero hour is a mere...three hours and 12 minutes away." "It's not possible." "With a mere...three hours, 11 minutes till zero hour?" "Keep calm." "We'll send in the plumbers to flush Spenser." "I call in Boris from deep cover." "Boris Blavasky?" "The maniac who decapitated poor old Ponsonby in Helsinki?" "Boris the Butcher?" "Phone for you, love." "Thank you, sweetie." "I know you, Sergei Nikolivich." "There's more to this than just dirty letters." "Why so gloomy?" "Is better than being butcher." "I like being butcher." "You know exactly who you are killing...and why." "What impresses me most...during our visits to Germany are his people." "There's a warmth, a quiet charm." "Everyone welcomes you with open arms." "You're sure you were in Germany?" "Downtown Brussels." "Wally." "Hello, everybody." "Jimmy's brother." "Don't get up." "What happened?" "We need a place to lie low for a while." "I thought this place would be safe." "Won't you introduce us to your friend?" "Everybody...this is Lori." "She's the defense minister's call girl." "Bastard!" "That really hurt." "I should've called her an actress." "She's great." "Jimmy paid for the whole thing." "I should go, I suppose." "Okay, bye." "We got these smutty letters we're going to blackmail some guy with." "Okay." "Later." "See you." "What line of work is your brother in?" "He's in the movie business." "The movie business." "Of course." "I'm sorry I was a little insensitive." "But, you know, I'm a hit man." "I'm only going to say this once." "I'm not a call girl." "I met Gilbert." "He liked giving me money." "I needed it." "So I let him, okay?" "Was that a tear?" "How do you people do it?" "Do you poke yourself in the eye?" "Or are you thinking right now:" ""My dog is dead"?" "What's the matter with you?" "Are you enjoying this?" "Enormously." "My dog is dead." "My dog is dead." "The letters are upstairs in the spare room." "You go get them." "I'll keep watch, okay?" "Yeah, sure, pintsize." "Last time we split up, you locked the door...and got strangled." "Let's go in together." "You don't trust me, do you?" "Say it." "Go on, say it." "I don't trust you?" "Wait." "I don't trust you." "I was going to ask you:" "Are we all going to stay afterwards and clean up?" "I think Goldilocks wears Old Spice." "You should pay your light bill." "There's a lamp over there on the table." "Oh, God!" "Gosh!" "You got me." "Did he get you?" "You got both of us." "I've never seen a dead body before." "I've seen lots, but this is..." "What're you doing?" "You gotta check and see just how dead they are." "You can never be sure." "Guy could be able to catch this!" "I'm impressed." "You are so twisted." "I would think you'd be impressed by the kind of concentration that is being" "Oh, man!" "I feel sick." "Do you think you trust me to go to the loo?" "The loo." "Off to the loo with you." "I know you worked together...but if I find the letters before she does, it'd be a real hoot." "How about a clue?" "Do you know anything about this girl?" "Is she going out with anyone in the cast?" "Spenser?" "Are you there, Spenser?" "Do that again." "Spenser?" "What's going on?" "Are you receiving me?" "You jerk." "You've got a radio." "Spenser, come in immediately." "This is a 42-20." "Cool." "Hello." "Spenser, here." "Have no fear, good buddy." "What's he talking about?" "Why is he using that ridiculous American accent?" "Cover." "Ask him if he's eliminated the girl." "Did you take the girl to the bathroom?" "No." "She went to the loo...by herself." "By herself?" "Suicide." "Finally, a spot of luck." "Ask him if he has disposed of the body." "Did you flush?" "I think she's going to do that, don't you, pal?" "I'll ask her." "Lori!" "He's talking to her." "She's still in the bowl?" "Maybe he tried but she floated back up." "Tell him to flush her." "Spenser knows how to deal with floaters." "Tell him to use the plunger or we're sunk." "Oh, no." "Listen here, you have to recycle the waste." "I don't know if we mentioned it, but there's a time limit on the operation." "I figure you got to tie up all your loose ends by...1 1:30 at the latest." "Did you tell him?" "Of course not." "Spenser, how did you arrive at that hour specifically?" "For one thing..." "I know a couple of guys who are hoping to fire up some big Ambassadors at 11:59." "Disaster!" "Disaster!" "He knows every detail." "Keep him talking, sir." "The plumbers will be there any minute." "I think I've screwed you guys completely up." "I'm way off the script." "I should've gone into the bathroom and flushed her and everything else." "I'm just gonna recycle her now, and we'll go from there, okay?" "Spenser." "Over and out." "Lori." "We know you're out there." "So you've decided to recycle me after all." "I think it'll be a little bit easier, a lot less confusion for everyone." "Sure, right." "Thank you." "Over here, then." "All right, say cheese." "Let's find the letters." "Oh, my God, what have I done?" "From three feet, I missed you." "I thought that was it." "We gotta get out of here." "We do?" "Oh, great." "Come on!" "Very good news." "Excuse us." "Hold it." "What?" "I'd just like to do one thing." "I'll be right down." "I have a lot more appreciation for what you people go through." "Thanks." "Nice working with you." "The letters." "You are the best." "Thanks for making it fun." "Freeze!" "Don't move!" "Hello?" "Wait up, Lori!" "The letters!" "Watch the foot." "Mail call." "Look what I found." "You're not going to give them to me." "No." "For half a second back there, I thought I saw a real human being." "Nobody asked me to be a human being." "Why don't we change it?" "Change it?" "What were you going to do with these?" "I'll help you." "Why would you do that?" "Because I'd much rather be a good guy." "You're not just acting?" "Well, we both are." "In the Theater of Life, I mean." "I suppose we are." "You know..." "I'm helping you out, but..." "I'm not a completely good guy." "There's something I want, and you're gonna have to let me do it." "It's like that, is it?" "I'm afraid so." "Typical man." "Oh, that feels good." "Thanks a lot." "It was really kind of you to let me drive." "So, partner." "What are you going to do with your share of the money?" "I'm going to get out of here." "Go to New York, buy a flat and I'm gonna study acting." "You don't need acting school." "You're a natural." "Think so?" "Know so." "Other side!" "He's good." "The stars are out tonight as statesmen and celebrities roll up...to celebrate the signing of the Midnight Peace Accord...by the leaders of Russia and Great Britain." "After many months of shuttle diplomacy and behind-the-scenes negotiations" "Listen, Sergei, you said, "Kill Spenser, kill girl and get letters."" "You said nothing about" "American Superman." "Daggenhurst here." "You did not tell me about American agent!" "Say again." "Don't play with me!" "If we cannot trust each other, how can we bring back Cold War together?" "Now, listen here, comrade." "I know nothing about any American agent." "If you're afraid your pinpoint bomb can't take out that top table...at least tell me." "Russian explosive is perfect!" "Will destroy everything in five-meter circle and nothing outside!" "Maybe you do not trust made-in-Britain timing mechanism!" "If your chap, Boris, has botched the job, I'm sure that my" "What is it?" "The plumbers say an American killed Spenser...kidnapped the girl, grabbed the letters and got away." "Doesn't that just bite it?" "Hello, Sergei, I think we may have a bit of a problem." "Police." "Quick." "Turn the lights on." "They're on." "License?" "Relax, the van is kosher." "Wait a minute." "Are those real cops?" "Good point." "They could be Gilbert's men." "We gotta lose them." "Move it!" "I'd love to." "We got a right one here now." "Follow him." "Keep following." "All right, who's going to stop here?" "Sorry, coming through." "I follow." "Follow, no follow, you cretin!" "This van is rubbish!" "It's not the van!" "This man is good!" "He's very good!" "Oh, man, they give you a real car chase." "You get to smash their stuff." "You guys can't be making a dime on this." "Come and get me!" "What's he on?" "This is great." "Here comes trouble." "Don't exhale." "Want me to call for backup?" "For what?" "For a bloody Mini?" "You must be joking." "I've always wanted to do this." "I've always wanted to do that." "Yeah." "Me, too." "That's gonna cost him." "We're losing them." "Oops!" "Sorry." "Force of habit." "Absolutely bloody brilliant." "Spenser, stop." "Come on." "Spenser, stop it." "I feel sick." "Sod this." "Hang on, Bill." "Clench your buttocks." "Where'd they go?" "That was fun." "Tomorrow night, I wanna go this way." "I don't think it's fair for these guys." "They can't possibly stay with me...going right to left." "I like mine." "I think I saw his face in a dream someplace." "Would you mind stepping out of the car, please, sir?" "You want to tell me what you think you were doing?" "Back in the straightaway...95." "I could've gone faster, but I'd have lost you." "You, too, young lady." "I hope you two are secure in your work...because my husband's on urgent government business." "Really?" "You'd better stop staring at my legs, too, otherwise he's gonna get really jealous." "Can I see your driving license, sir?" "No, you may not!" "The guys in the first scene have already taken it." "I'll show you my two-way radio...with which you may communicate directly with my superiors." "Breaker, breaker." "Coming out there for that good old H.Q." "Come on back." "Very funny, sir." "Mind if I have myself a cigarette while I wait for Scotty to beam me up?" "Knock yourself out." "Yes, come in." "We're receiving you." "Go ahead and say hi." "Hello?" "Who is this?" "Police Constable Cochrane from Shepherd's Bush." "What are you doing using one of our communicators?" "This gentleman refused to show me any identification." "Of course he didn't show you any identification." "He's a secret agent." "Put me on to him at once." "I'm sorry, sir." "It's all right." "You're just doing your job." "I'm proud of you." "This is Spense." "So you're still calling yourself that, are you?" "I think I just might, until 1 1:30." "How he mocks us." "What do you want?" "Would you excuse me one second?" "Of course." "May I step out of character for just one minute?" "I wish you would." "I think the reason my brother got me into this was to impress the Germans." "And if it ends here with the police..." "I don't think he's gonna be happy." "But I think we can offer you a more rewarding scenario...than the police could provide." "Great." "Fabulous." "Would you give us a moment to confer?" "How much left in the slush fund?" "A million and a half." "And Sergei's?" "The same." "If we arrange a meeting..." "They're fixing it." "Oh, great." "Great handcuffs." "The ones I've got have a chain in the middle." "Yeah, the old ones." "I love these." "So what's the pay like, then?" "They pay all your expenses." "You're licensed to kill." "But there's a downside." "What's that?" "Torture." "There's the women, though." "They're nice after the torture." "Believe me." "Not much of a car they give you." "It's a piece of crap." "I got an Aston Martin." "Had trouble with the surface-to-air missiles." "It's in the shop." "This will not be easy." "The man has...connections." "Come in, Spenser." "This is Spenser." "We'll give you three million in unmarked bills for the letters." "Three million." "Yes!" "I guess we'll take it." "Be in the lobby of the Grand Plaza London...in 20 minutes." "Keep it coming." "Thank you, bloke." "You get a load of this?" "What's that?" "For allergies." "Actually...it's a powerful agent...that sharpens my senses yet deadens my emotions." "I could do with some of that, sometimes." "What about our story?" "Are we just a doomed couple?" "We have to be Bonnie and Clyde?" "Can't it be like "The Getaway"?" "Couldn't it be like that?" "Could be." "You're acting." "I'm not acting." "Are you?" "Honestly..." "I can't act." "But I can do action." "We at Featherstone Finch believe our major strength...is diversity." "Leave it, the machine will get it." "And diversity" "I just kissed the girl I was with earlier." "She's got lips like your sofa." "Talk about big-car comfort." "And it wasn't just a kiss kiss." "The past five years have seen astonishing worldwide growth...with sexports-exports increased by 700 percent." "I want to do this every single day I'm here." "Either that was her tongue or she has three lips." "Hold it, Wally." "A truly remarkable record." "If you'll excuse me for just one minute." "What's the problem?" "It's not a problem, but you know those Ambassadors?" "Do you think we could...smoke them over here where I am...at the Grand Plaza London?" "Because it's already 10:30 and I really would like...to smoke them on my day." "I can't." "Think maybe we could have those smokes tomorrow night?" "I say, old chap, do have time?" "Yes, 10:30." "You just stabbed me with your pen." "Daddy...can I please borrow the keys to the station wagon?" "Hello, Theater of Life." "This is Mr. Ritchie." "My brother is doing your show." "Wait there, sir." "It's Ritchie." "Trace this call." "I want to ask" "We want to question him in connection with a murder." "And the call girl, too." "I know, I paid for it." "Mr. Ritchie, this is Chief Inspector Cockburn." "So now you're the chief." "Listen, Chief..." "Step out of character for a minute." "You don't realize the seriousness of the situation." "Is this an actor now or a human being?" "Neither, sir." "I'm a policeman." "Mr. Policeman..." "I need to buy some more time and I'll pay you handsomely for it." "Are you attempting to bribe an officer?" "Do you torture everybody like this, or just Americans?" "Look, Mr. Shakespeare, yes, yes, I want to bribe you." "Is the prime minister there?" "I'll bribe him!" "I bribe anybody, who talk to me!" "You invented the damn language, talk to me!" "No wonder you lost the empire!" "You know what?" "Scotland's next!" "Yes or no?" "!" "Yes or no, you socialist, artsy-fartsy little dweeb?" "!" "Mr. Ritchie" "Okay, fine." "You won't help us, it's not a problem." "We'll do something else." "Thank you." "American." "Charlie...it's just a hunch, but I think we might be dealing with...some sort of right-wing extremist what-have- you." "Did you trace that call?" "I'm an actor." "Right." "Did you trace that call?" "Yes, sir." "40 Overbridge Square." "Right." "Charlie." "Call out the Armed Response Unit." "I want this thing crushed, right now." "Thanks." "These actors don't know when to stop." "No, Mr. Ritchie." "The theater community at large are asking:" "What went wrong with the Theater of Life tonight?" "The police are anxious to interview a Mr. Wallace Ritchie...an American, dark, about six foot...and believed to be armed and extremely dangerous." "There you are, James." "There you are, finally." "Yes, indeed." "Before we continue, I'm going to...pop down to the cellar." "There's a nice bottle of port..." "We've already got one." "True." "But it's very dark there and it might take me a few minutes." "I'll be back with the port." "And the car keys." "Oh, dear." "Who's wearing Old Spice?" "Shut up." "I found letters." "But no identification." "Of course not, idiot." "He's a professional." "Everybody wants to check minibar." "Go away!" "It's the plumbers!" "Those sons of bitches blew up my Nikita in '79." "Nikita was vicious" "Forget about your dog." "Open the door." "Easy for you to say." "He's my dog, not your dog." "Come on." "Let go of me." "Get off me!" "I thought you were staying in the car." "This is busier than my butcher shop!" "Go away!" "Sergei Nikolivich." "Open up." "Don't shoot." "Good to see you." "Here we have our man, in the flesh." "How am I supposed to do my work?" "Stop complaining." "Give me the letters." "Quick." "So, this is him, in the flesh." "Where are the letters?" "Spenser, do something." "Those are my letters." "Bastards!" "Come, Sir Roger." "We are overdue for banqueting room." "Splendid." "I think...we begin with soft tissue." "Mr. Prime Minister..." "Mr. President...distinguished guests...my lords, ladies and gentlemen...it's my duty and privilege to welcome you this evening." "Before that historic moment at midnight...when the peace accord is signed between our two countries...we shall be treated to...music and dance that seek to embody the souls...of these two great nations." "Before torture, we try truth serum?" "Please." "Are you a member of our Frequent Renters' Club?" "We would like to be." "We have a two-night rental policy." "If the tape stays out longer than that, you're not charged the extra $1.50." "What is your real name?" "Wallace Ritchie." "Who is paying for all this?" "My brother Jimmy." "He's...trying to impress the Germans so he gave me this for my birthday." "Happy birthday." "Thank you." "Who you are working for?" "Blockbuster Video, Des Moines, Iowa." "Who you are working for?" "Blockbuster Video, Des Moines, Iowa." "Damn." "They trained him so well." "Give him the antidote." "I do it old-fashioned- way." "I beat it out of him." "This real pen." "Idiot." "I have antidote here." "That is so refreshing." "May I have one of those when we're all finished, please." "Who else knows about these letters, Mr. Ritchie?" "Please don't call me by my real name." "It destroys the reality I'm creating." "Who are the goddamn Germans?" "Time out." "I hate to break out of character, but...you cannot shout into a person's ear." "It does damage." "You know, the spitting I don't mind." "Boris, it's so big." "Boris." "Please." "Please." "Not like Ponsonby in Helsinki." "Is fun for you, but we have to clean up after." "Please." "We do have to do cleanup after?" "Always." "You're right." "Sometimes it's foolish to be so brave." "You leave us no alternative." "I will call Dr. Ludmilla Kropotkin." "She will take care of you." "The evil lady torturer?" "Bring her in here!" "Even perhaps you are not brave enough for taste of her medicine." "I'm not ticklish." "Get the rubber sheets." "And watch that man." "Yes, boss." "How come you not sniff on his turn?" "Boris' Old Spice is lingering." "Do you think we could open up the window a little bit?" "Hey, vodka...be a guy." "See that nasal spray?" "Could you pass me over a couple of snoots worth, please?" "Is poison maybe." "Good." "Give him." "Maybe we'll finish game." "I'm going to need one on each side." "Tilt." "Little tilt." "Deeper." "Oh, yeah, stop." "Stop." "Stop." "Can you back it out a little?" "It's stuck." "Don't push it in." "Stop it." "Don't push it in." "Wait." "Now it's too far in." "You squeeze it." "Wait, wait." "Squeeze it." "That's much better." "Fabulous." "Fabulous." "You're clumsy." "What're you doing?" "Don't joke." "Great, great spill." "I still need my stuff though." "You stay, I'll get it." "Come on." "Now really." "I know you do this every night and it can get boring, but you gotta give 100 percent." "Now I've got to figure out how to escape." "I'm going to show you what 100 percent looks like." "I'm right there." "Where's that big paw?" "Lori, am I good, or am I good?" "He's done it again." "My God, you're good." "Thank you." "Gonna untie me?" "Sorry." "Hurry, before they come back." "Dr. Ludmilla...we're ready for you now." "Why do you always go out the window?" "It's more dramatic, I guess." "It's kind of a Starsky and Hutch thing, isn't it?" "Where's our special scarves?" "Stop joking." "I risked my life." "I waited for you." "I didn't have to." "Why did you tonight?" "Don't make me say it now." "What about the money?" "We can't just rewrite the whole script." "Can't we?" "Is the money so important?" "Without the money, what the heck we got going on?" "Less than I thought, obviously." "Bye." "Albert, if you don't say it, it won't work." "What are you?" "I'm a very naughty boy." "Good." "What are you?" "I'm a very naughty boy." "Don't mind me." "If you hold it a bit lower down, you get more of a flick." "Thank you." "What are you?" "A very naughty boy." "If Featherstone Finch...were to move 40 million of Feathers' assets to..." "Tonga..." "Get your hands up!" "Get your hands behind your back!" "Where's Mr. Ritchie?" "Where's Mr. Ritchie?" "Where's Mr. Ritchie?" "Mr. Ritchie, he go for port." "Which port?" "Shut up, you!" "Which port?" "He go for port in his car." "Control." "Green 1." "Suspect Ritchie heading for unspecified port." "Over." "Control to Special Branch." "I want an all-ports alert, effective immediately." "Close all ports." "Up high!" "I'm the only one standing on a ledge!" "Jimmy!" "Oh, my God." "I'm stuck!" "Don't move!" "I won't!" "I can't!" "I'm coming, Wally." "Come on, damn it." "They're gone." "Here." "Come here." "Hold me." "Okay?" "We'll try from other side." "Stop!" "What happened?" "He went out the window." "You have beans!" "He jumped us." "He's not human." "Neither am I." "Get him!" "A nasty, wicked boy." "Jimmy." "Jimmy." "We get him from downstairs." "Wally." "Wally." "Jimmy." "Jimmy." "Where are you?" "I'm here on the ledge." "What's going on?" "My leading lady came out on the ledge, and I think I broke her heart." "And..." "So I followed her." "She came out here and she went down to this next room." "There's a hallway." "We can walk." "Not very theatrical, though." "I'm so sorry." "This isn't theater." "You don't get it." "It's experimental." "This is serious." "It's very raw, very" "No, no, no, no." "It's real." "It's so real." "Freeze!" "Put your hands in the air!" "I'm glad you came." "I think you're gonna like it." "You missed!" "You missed again!" "Not by much, though!" "Cut!" "Hold it!" "Hold it." "Time out." "Time out!" "I got something in my eye, jag-off!" "Stop it!" "Oh, God!" "Guys!" "Let's not think of my safety!" "I'm flying!" "I guess I got the drop on Dr. Ludmilla Kropotkin." "Get that thing away from that little boy's butt!" "Drop it!" "You all right, son?" "Yes, thanks." "...for him, hour after hour I just wait." "Of course, he" "I would like Lori's three million, please, or..." "Dr. Ludmilla Kropotkin will die." "But I am Dr. Ludmilla Kropotkin." "Keep back." "He's dangerous." "He might have bomb." "Plan B, then." "Lobby, please." "I'll just get her letters for her, then." "All right, even he cannot penetrate ballroom for letters." "Help!" "I'm being abducted." "You've got to" "Oh, you're together." "He's the brother." "Good." "Take him to bowels of hotel." "I go after the brother." "One false move and the doctor will get a taste of her own medicine." "Relax, we're actors." "Oh, please, I'm not a doctor." "I'm a manicurist." "It's our anniversary." "Yeah, I'd like to believe that...from one of the most dangerous women in the world." "I suppose you were involved with that business in Helsinki with Ponsonby." "Did you get your kicks, Doctor?" "We were just having a little fun." "You had your fun." "And he got his head sent home in a freezer bag." "The key is really to listen...to feel it and then...respond as if it were really happening." "You can do it." "Break a leg." "Help, please!" "She's a killer!" "Please." "She's dead." "What's wrong?" "It's our anniversary." "We are kidding." "We are only acting." "What?" "Just acting." "Wait." "You can't go without a security pass." "Russian Secret Service." "I need to see your pass." "Happy now?" "Excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Hello, hello." "No pass, no entry, I'm afraid." "I'm looking for a tall American." "Aren't we all, dear." "But we've got a show to put on, in case you didn't notice." "Thank you." "You can wait outside." "Can we have all these swans together?" "Thank you." "And you'd be Mr. Nikolai, I presume." "Stop plaing without you get the rest of the costume?" "I'm not supposed to be in costume." "We are performing tonight, aren't we?" "Yeah" "Then get with it!" "You go before the public in two minutes." "I'm not ready for that." "My brother said I wouldn't have to" "Spare me the prima donna act." "It's really not the time." "Nikolai's come in from the cold, everyone." "On stage, please." "We know you and your German friends are financing all operation." "Your brother told us." "I'm a banker." "I'm mortgaged to the hilt." "I can't finance anything." "The longer you keep me here, the less I'm worth." "Let's have a little fun with electricity, shall we?" "My lords, ladies and gentlemen...the Baltic dancers from Russia will perform a dance...symbolizing man's growth from infancy to adulthood." "Good God!" "Where's Lori's letters?" "May I?" "Lori wants her letters back." "Boris, come quickly." "Okay, I bring dart gun." "Then it's curtains for Spenser." "Spineless little shit." "I'm very late." "I lost my ticket, but I'm a close friend of the minister of defense." "And my mom knows the queen of Sheba." "Maybe we should get out while we can." "Perhaps he could bring money." "Here, get Rasputin's money now." "How can we tell which doll is which?" "Only he can." "It's his plan." "He's open!" "Let's get out of here." "Where're you guys going?" "Here comes Hawkins with your money, now." "Great." "I wish my brother could be here." "He's missing everything." "Here's the stuff." "You idiot, go and get the brother, now!" "Please don't go anywhere." "I want to talk to you both after the show." "Oh, my God." "Stop!" "Don't torture him...or his brother will kill us all!" "The man is a god." "I finish this man to man." "He has disabled bomb." "Hold it right there, you two." "What did you think of the show?" "Here's the cash." "You can count it all now." "Thank you very much." "Two bags' worth." "Where's Lori?" "Do you know if she saw the show?" "I got her money." "She'll like it." "Love the hat." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Can you keep a secret?" "I'm taking this souvenir of my day." "I'm afraid he's a little groggy, but he's fine." "Wally." "Welcome back, stranger." "Here, take a load off." "Can I get you some tea?" "Please." "One lump or two?" "No lumps." "What have you been doing?" "I was tortured." "Great." "Did they make it fun?" "What?" "You know what they're signing?" "The death knell of our dreams." "We'll have to settle for half." "Ready?" "Ready." "Did you see what I did?" "In front of all these people, I had a solo." "I had the entire crowd eating out of my hand." "Is that what you were wearing?" "Maybe they made a tape." "I'm so proud of you." "I want to be just like you, Wally." "When I was back in that room, I thought I was going to die." "My life passed before my eyes and I realized I cared about the wrong things." "I've cared about money and success and getting to the top." "Prestige and..." "At the end of the day..." "There's a big guy standing behind you." "Yeah, well...maybe you'll feel better if you could see this tape." "Really behind me?" "You're everywhere." "This one is for you...buddy." "Bang." "Is joke." "Look." ""From KGB to Boris..." ""...fastest gun in the east."" "But there can only be one fastest gun." "And now, it's you." "I salute you." "Doreen and me, we go open butcher shop." "But you will always be my brother." "Oh, look!" "What?" "What's the matter?" "There's nothing in here but silly money." "What were you looking for?" "I lost my souvenir doll." "You really don't care about money at all, do you?" "It's not real." "The doll was beautiful." "How's this for a souvenir?" "Roger, you don't suppose maybe doll...?" "Don't be daft." "This is the one he picked for himself." "Terrible-looking thing." "Her stomach looks like her ass." "Is her ass, you idiot." "Give it to me." "There." "That was like an explosion." "Want to try again?" "Do you have insurance?" "Did you see this?" "We were right there." "We could've been killed." "It says this mystery guy...was equal parts "brilliant cunning and sheer testosterone."" "They were right about the second part." "Time out." "All right, drink man." "Now." "Compliments of the house." "Oh, my gosh." "You people are so nice." "Do you eat the flower?" "I'm sorry." "In the nose, too." "That's the worst." "Here, get a towel." "Did that make contact?" "Oh my gosh!" "Gesundheit myself." "You okay?" "Yeah, just another Old Spice guy." "Impressive performance, Mr. Spenser." "Sorry about the test, but we did have to be sure." "Only one candidate in a thousand even detects Amazonian arafrog toxin...much less incapacitates the messenger." "And it's rare that we even approach a candidate...until we've auditioned him for 12 or 18 months, but the other night..." "We witnessed the birth of a superstar." "We'd like you to join the team." "You want me to be a part of The Company?" "I don't know what to say." "This is all happening kind of fast." "Just tell us your demands, please." "What do I do?" "They think you're a superstar." "I think they expect you to act like one." "I would like fresh flowers in my room." "Rare tropical flowers...that smell good." "And ice in my dressing room...which should be a palace and so should Lori's be a palace." "And I want a dressing room for my pet bloodhound, too." "And a poodle." "And Lori's poodle." "They can bunk in together." "But there better be fresh flowers in there!" "And ice!" "Whatever." "Just so long as you produce the hits." "I'll do six a week." "Six?" "Five." "No, not six." "Five." "But one of them will be for free." "I want to do kids or old people one day a week." "And I want a StairMaster." "I want a JuiceMaster." "I want a ThighMaster and I want a ButtMaster." "If you can't give it to me, I'm going back to Des Moines." "Just don't hurt the help." "It's whatever you want." "What I want is this guy." "He's fantastic." "I love working with him." "I hope I've passed your audition." "Thank you for asking." "Let's get creative." "I'm thinking for our opening season, Lori...as Juliet." "Shakespeare in the Sand!" "You've got casting approval, okay?" "For your lead." "Joan of Arc for our action people." "I set you afire." "You behead him, right?" "Experimental." ""Cats."" "Wait a second!" "With people." "People as cats." "Let's workshop." "You're both cats." "You're my big cat." "I've got a giant cat." "Get down." "Creative producer." "Thank you." "You're the dog." "We've got a dog and a cat, but they hate each other." "Chase, chase." "Go, go!" "Cat, go, kitty, go!" "Lori and I are the husband and wife." "We have this cat and this dog." "We love each of them, but they hate each other." "So you're the bad cat." "The only thing we can do is" "Cut it out!" "Bad kitty!" "Bad cat!" "Is this working?" "Are you liking it?"

" Maybe you're just not cut out for the insurance business." " I didn't call anybody a name." " I've got at least three witnesses." " Which." "She asked me to move a box, there were two, I didn't know." " Okay, sure." "I think it's fair to say we gave you a shot." "Give my regards to your mother." " Did you love her?" " That was a long time ago." "All right, Sam." " Oh my god." "You'll never believe who has been texting me all day." "I told him, I cannot talk to him while I'm at work, he's like, gets all insecure if I'm not texting him back." "He's such a girl." " With the Malibu look, we want the feeling of a fresh kissed cheek, and a smoldering lip." " Frank's bringing a friend tonight." " Heaver liner says you won't be carried away on any old breeze." "It frames the look for sophistication." " You're going to give him a chance." " Another friend?" " Guys like prince charming don't just show up." "They're not perfect from the get go." "I have to stop smoking." " We're quitting again?" "Sandy gold tones and sunset pink light up your eyes." " We can't stay roommates forever." "We have to be grownups with men, husbands." " As long as the numbers on the bottom of the color start with, with a..." " Don't you wanna meet somebody?" " I met somebody today." " You did?" "Where?" " On the train." " You talked to some guy on the train?" " For over an hour." " Sounds like a guy with time on his hands." " He has a job." " Did you give him your number?" " He's an architect, he's German." " Did he ask for your number?" " I'm gonna see him again." " On the train." " Yes." " Just give frank's friend a chance." " You've been smoking." " They're not mine." " How did they get here?" " How did you get fired?" " What did mills tell you?" " Can I hear it from you?" " We didn't get along so well." " What does that mean, a man, a woman?" " What did mills tell you?" " May I hear it from you?" " She was wasting my time." " Didn't you get paid by the hour?" " She misheard me." " What did you really say?" " I said, "which?"" "There were two boxes, I didn't know, which?" "Date tonight?" " It's worse that you lie to me." " It's not my fault, mills said I'm just not cut out for the insurance business." " What, did they teach him that in management school?" " Yes, I asked him." " Your favorite, general Tso's." " Where'd you get it?" " New price, my compliments." " Tea, please?" " Oh, you've eaten here before, I know you don't tip." " I was thinking I could stay here tonight," "I mean, we could watch TV, the two of us." " I'm going out." " The girls?" " A friend." " Why don't you just call him your date?" " Why don't you go eat your dinner." " I could wait up." " You know, there's a reason you don't live here." " What's that?" " Why don't you go eat your dinner." " No more jobs, mom." " So, I'm supposed to pay your rent for you?" "You think you have a right to that?" " Take them." " They're not even mine." "Lock the door on your way out." " Frank here's the best." " Oh, guitar concert." " And I play the bass, I'm the bassist for the band." " Yeah, he's the best bassist." "Dude." "The stadium is packed, everyone's going nuts." "They're going crazy." " And then they rush on stage and they go oh, that's the greatest guitarist, greatest guitarist ever." " Oh, okay, now we're breaking stuff." "Okay, just intermission." " Oh, ladies on stage." " The groupie comes in, the groupie's then like the main, like the fan, and you're so sweaty." " You're really beautiful, you know that?" " I have a really sensitive gag reflex." " Hi, Sam, my name is Harvey," "I got a call from your mother saying you might be looking for work." "Why don't you." "Your mother said you really loved old people, is that true, Sam?" " You have a lot of pictures." " Hm, that's nothing." "You see those?" "Those are full of pictures of me and my clients taken over the years." "Most of our clients are old bachelors, old spinsters, childless, loveless." "I wouldn't recognize half the people in these pictures because that's the only time they ever smiled." "Those are the ones that mean the most to me." "You really have to love old people to work in this field." " I don't think I'd be here today without old people." " You're not really cut out for this business." " That's funny, most people wait to fire me before they tell me that." " Most people are just looking to fill their staff as simply as possible." " You and my mom dated, huh?" " A long time ago she broke my heart." " Yeah?" " Yeah, I was surprised to hear from her." " It's really something else when they smile, huh?" " Yeah, it is." " Maybe I could give it a try." " This is Harold Washington library, state and Van Buren." "Transfer to red, blue, purple and brown line trains here at Washington library, state and Van Buren." "Doors closing." "Transfer to..." "This is an orange line train to midway." " Susan." "Welcome home." " Hi." " Do you know that frank and I have been together for a few years now, I mean on and off, but now we are back on again, and I'm pregnant." " With a baby?" " We were getting older, I mean this could be my last chance to do this, and I can't explain it, you just see things" "differently when it happens to you." " I guess I wouldn't know." " Obviously, I mean, I need to make some changes." " Changes?" " Well, we're gonna be moving in together and we're gonna need a second bedroom." " You're moving out of our apartment?" " Yeah, I know that this has been our apartment, but first it was mine, I mean I was here first." "I'm on the lease." " But you're the one who needs more space." " Well, I mean, there's no need to rush, we still have time." " When did you tell frank?" " We've known about a week." " That's just the other night." " The other night?" " I was going to the bathroom and he walked in and then when I came out, you know what, forget it." " Forget what?" " No, forget it." " No, forget what?" " It's just, you would expect husband material to go back into your room and wait." " You were naked again, weren't you." " Just going to the bathroom to pee." " We have talked about this." " Sorry." "Still." " You're a little liar." "I think you should pack up your shit sooner than later." " I don't have anywhere to go." " By tomorrow." " Hi, I'm Sam, I work for Goldenpal." "Goldenpal?" "Goldenpal." "I work for Goldenpal." "My name is Sam Gordon." "My name is Sam, and I work for Goldenpal." "My name is Sam, and I work for Goldenpal." " Hello." " Hello, Mrs. white." "My name is Sam, I work for Goldenpal," "I brought your grocery order." " Where's the usual guy?" " This should have been here two days ago." " Ah, you know how to do it." " Mr. hill, check food supply, make sure light bulbs work." "Right." " Who is it?" " Hello, Mr. hill, my name is Sam, I work for Goldenpal." "I brought your grocery order." " Who the hell are you?" " Sam from Goldenpal." " Where's the regular guy?" " I'm the new regular guy." " Yeah, how do I know?" "This food could be poisoned." " Why would anybody..." " tell them to send the old regular guy!" " Mr. hill." "Ow." "Jesus." "Fine." " Transfer to Metro trains and the south." "Doors closing." "Transfer to Metro and south shore trains." "This is an orange line train to midway." " You really let this place go to shit." " I wasn't expecting you." " You knew when my plane was landing." "The men in Paris are a lot neater, that's for sure." " You should have taken me with you." " Don't be jealous." " I don't really have a couch." " You burned it." " Thinking of all those Parisian men made me crazy." " Now where are you gonna sleep?" " Here, wait." " Don't you have a dresser?" " I burned that too." "You can just move things into the corner." " Where'd you put the trash can?" " Okay, actually, those are all collectibles." " Do you not want me here?" " No I do, but," "you ripped my bongo man number three." " Bongo man?" "Looks racist." " He's the most racist superhero ever created." "It was worth 20 bucks." " I just wanted my space for my things." " Okay." "Sorry, I, here, let's move some of my things over." "You smoke." " Nope." " I'm really against smoking." " I don't smoke." " Where'd you get these?" " This guy gave them to me on the train." "This homeless guy, he was doing this mime show, you know, for spare change, and he couldn't do the mime while he was holding his cigarettes so I held onto them, then he went to the next car," "and there was my stop, and I figure I'd probably run into him again on the train, so I've been carrying them around." " He didn't have any pockets?" " You don't want me here." " I didn't say that." " He rides the blue line all the time." " My name is Sam." " I can leave." " I don't want you to leave." " They're his." " What's your name?" " Susan." " Susan?" " Susan." " The homeless mime guy!" " You've seen him." " All the time." "I'll tell you what, I'll hold onto these, and when I see him again, I'll give them back." " Good idea." " Let's unpack you." " Who is this?" " That's my dad." " I like his mustache." " He left when I was little." " Did you know him?" " He was a great actor." " What was his name?" " You haven't heard of him, he was a Soviet." " That explains the mustache." " Soviet theater, you rehearse the same play for a year in all kinds of conditions." "You immersed yourself in the material until it was part of your soul." " Are you an actor?" " No." "He left me a book." "Elements of acting." "It's out of print." "Is this your family?" " No." "It came with the frame." " You're kidding, because I would believe it if that were you as a little girl." " She just came with the frame." " It looked like a real family, there's a definite resemblance." " Maybe they're a model family." " That's strange, these are all the same people except they're older." "Maybe they're marketing it as a more mature picture frame." "I hear they do that, older families, more mature frames." " That must be it." " I wonder what happened to the mother." " How should I know." "Is this your guitar?" " No." " Oh, too bad." "I always wanted to know a musician." " It's my friend Toto Sobieski's guitar." "Hold on, I think he's around here somewhere." "Oh, Susana, it is I, Toto Sobieski." "I have come to play a song for you." " Pretty good." " Pretty good." " Yeah, it was all right." " Rule number one of Soviet theater, you must perform in the adverse conditions." " What are you doing?" " Grab a tray, come on." "It's gotta be cold." "Sing for me, sing!" " I don't sing." " I'm standing in a tub of ice water for you, sing for me." " I don't." " Jesus, I'm cold." "I know this place isn't up to your standard." " Well, I am a princes." " You look like a Princess." " I am a Princess." " Princess from where?" " Hungary." "I'm a Hungarian Princess." " I've always wanted to host a Princess." " Obviously built your life on that dream." " I'm really glad you're here, you're a very beautiful woman." " Can you turn out your light?" " Sorry, I'm making this awkward." " I sleep naked." " It was the damn neighbor's cat came in here, peed on the floor." " That's funny, all the windows are shut." " Did anybody ever tell you, you've got a nice looking ass." " Mr. hill, it's Sam from Goldenpal." "I have your groceries." "I'll just leave it here." "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill?" "You really ought to keep your windows locked." "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill, it's Sam." "Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill?" " You cut your hair." " You're thinking of the old, yeah, I cut my hair." "Do you maybe want some lunch?" "Let me help you with that." " It's sort of a reversal, isn't it." " How do you mean?" " You feeding me." "I guess it was your mother who did most of the feeding, wasn't it." " I'm not your..." " you always wanted a father, and now all I want is my son." "Go on, yell at me." " What for?" " Look what I did to your mother's house." "What would she say?" "She'd say, over my dead body." "I guess she had the idea that I would die first." "Go on, be mad at me." " Why don't you have..." " yell at me!" " Just one forkful." " Be mad at me!" " Dammit, this place is filthy." " Ah, that's not what you're angry about." " What am I angry about?" " About how I treated your mother." " Why am I mad about that?" " Well, you loved her, didn't you?" " Of course I did." " Tell me how mad you are about how I treated your mother." " I'm mad at you..." " for once, call me dad." " Dad, I'm mad at you for how your treated my mother!" "What's that smell?" " Stuffed cabbage." "It's an old family recipe from Hungary." " That's my shirt." " I know." "What do you think?" " Pretty good." "It's really good." " It's the royal recipe." "I learned it from my grandmother." " What's in it?" " I can't tell you, it's secret." " I definitely taste onions." " No, there's no onion." " And paprika?" " Paprika." " I taste paprika." " Paprika, of course, it's Hungarian." " Sorry." " No, it was a stupid thing to say." " I'm sorry." " You always make the dumbest observations." " It tastes good." " Einstein thinks there's paprika in my royal Hungarian stuffed cabbage." " I ran into the mime today." " Who?" " The mime on the train." " Oh, the mime." " I gave him back his cigarettes." "You're welcome." " Oh." " And I come home and you berate me." " It's just I saw him too." "And he was trying to do his mime but he couldn't because he had to hold his cigarettes, and nobody else would take them." " He should really quit smoking." " How was work?" " Sort of a rough day today." " I get so jealous." " You get jealous?" " All those ladies at the office dangling themselves on you." " All the ladies are elderly." " And you take such good care of them, feeding them, wheeling them around." " Want me to wheel you around?" " I'd like to be taken care of." " Well, it's awful that a Princess has to work." " These days, even a Princess needs a trade." " I forget what trade you're in." " Cosmetics." "I'm an international cosmetics consultant, why can't you keep that straight?" " I get confused." " I bet you've forgotten again already." " We should put on some music." "Where'd you put my cds?" " I assumed you had them on your computer." " I don't have a computer." " You don't have a computer?" " Where'd you put 'em?" " We needed space, I sold them." "It's 20 dollars, it makes up for the bongo man." " You sold all of my music for 20 dollars?" " They said they were gonna throw most of it out." "It's for bongo man." "Everybody has a computer." " How long are you planning to stay here?" " You want me to go?" " Your family is royalty." "They probably have a lot more things to destroy at their castle." " I don't have a castle." " Still." " I can't go back." " Why not?" " There is a man..." " a man, like a suitor?" " I'm royalty on my mother's side, she passed away, my father lost his claim." "He wants me to marry back into nobility." "But I don't love the man he wants me to marry, so I had to leave and I can't ever go back." " Your father won't let you come home?" " Not ever again." " So then you're not a Princess really any more." "I'm sorry." "I just like to listen to music." " Maybe Toto Sobieski could play for us." " Toto isn't here tonight." " I miss Toto." " Cowboy Griggs might show up though." " Who's cowboy Griggs?" " Hold on, I think I hear him riding up now." "My father's second rule, you have to be able to scream the words out loud." " He's very rich." " Who is?" " My father." "Someday, when he's gone, I'll be rich, and if you want, if you keep me around, we'll live in a castle." " A castle?" " Wherever you want." " That'd be nice." " Keep me around." " It's that darn cat..." " I know, the cat." "I'll say something to the neighbors." " That's what I wore the night I married my ex husband." " It's very pretty." " You should see it on." " Mr. hill?" "Mr. hill." "Mr. hill." "It's getting a lot better." " Over my dead body, she would have said." "She said, you know, she isn't worrying about us." "Say it." " Say what?" " She's dead." " She's dead." " Who's dead?" "Say it." " My mother, my mother is dead." " She was my wife." "Don't you think I miss her too?" " I'm sure." " What do you want?" "An apology?" "What should I apologize for?" " I don't want..." " what should I apologize for?" "Tell me and I'll apologize for it!" " Mr. hill." " Call me dad." " Dad." " Tell me what to apologize for." " You abandoned us." " I worked, I supported you." " You supported me?" "You never even knew me." " I'm sorry." "Forgive me." " Okay." " I always loved you." " I cleaned out your bathroom." "I should probably move on to your bedroom." " Don't bother about the bedroom, it's filthy." " But wouldn't it be nicer to sleep..." " I sleep here." "Don't go in there." "It's too filthy." " Come in." " Hi." " Another late night." "You having trouble with the round?" " No, I'm just getting to know some of the customers." " You know, we're only licensed to bring 'em groceries, household chores, we're not insured for anything else." " Yeah, I know, I guess I just really like old people." " Oh, I'm glad somebody's having fun." " You know, if you ever need any help with the desk stuff," "I mean, if you felt like you wanted to teach somebody." " You keep charming clients like Mr. hill and I'll have to make you a partner." "Go on home, get some sleep." " I know how you like a picnic." "I can cook for you over fire." " Just like old times." " Just like our first spring together." " Was it this cold?" " Colder, but the fire kept us warm." " And we had the whole park to ourselves because nobody else was crazy enough to be out here." " It wasn't crazy, it was romantic." " It rained on us." "I told you it would, but you insisted on staying out." " It didn't rain, you insisted it was going to rain, but it didn't." " We were soaked, when you brought me home," "I caught the flu." " It wasn't the flu, just a lot of whining." " It only sounded like whining because of the laryngitis." " Do you remember the look on your face when you realized you hadn't brought self lighting coals and we had no lighter fluid, and it was cold." " That's when I pointed out to you that hotdogs are precooked." " And I asked if you could possibly be serious." " Until you realized that cold hotdogs taste great." "Like bologna." " Until it made me puke." " No, that was another time, you loved the cold hotdog." " Our recollections differ." " That's when Honolulu Fred showed up." "And now I will scream the words out loud in an adverse condition." " Remember when it started to rain so you took me home?" " But first, I reminded you of my father's third important rule of performance." " What was that?" " You have to do the thing that scares you the most." " What scares you the most?" "It's raining." "I'm gonna get in the shower." "It's freezing cold." " I'm sorry." " What are you sorry about?" " For getting you wet." " You forgot one last thing about that day." " What was that?" " That was the first time we kissed." "Are you embarrassed of me?" " What?" "No." " You still haven't introduced my to your mother." " You want to meet my mother?" " Really?" " Really what?" " Ask her what we should bring." " Mrs. Rantoni?" "The front door was unlocked." " In here." " I'm just gonna drop your food in the kitchen." "Mr. Vaughn, I made you a sandwich." "Darn cat, huh?" " Darn cat what?" " Let's find you some fresh pants." "I should probably head out." " So, Susan, what do you do for a living?" " I sell makeup for Chichino." " Oh, you're a Chichino lady." " You have such a beautiful complexion." " I hate my skin." " If I may, I think you use too much bronzer." " I'm so pale otherwise." " Pale is beautiful." " Maybe you could come by and make me over sometime." "Oh, that must be the food, Sam." " I got it." " Here." " No, mom, I got it." " Okay." "So, how did you two meet?" " At the grocery store." "I couldn't reach the breakfast cereal that I wanted." " I can't believe he just brought you home, you're already living together." "How long have you been dating?" " A week." " A week?" " I feel like I know so much about him." "He told me all about you and his father." "I hope someday his father comes back to the United States so I can meet him." " His father?" " Soviet acting is so intense." " Soviet acting." " His father is an actor in Russia." " When I had Sam, it was a very bad time for me." "I was a junkie, sweetheart, I slept with a lot of men." "It would have been nice if one of them had known how to act." "Maybe they would have acted nicer." "I don't know who Sam's dad is." "Neither does he." " Okay, we have egg roll, broccoli." " Sam?" "Your mother said something to me while you getting food." " She really likes you, I can tell." " It was about your father." " Oh." " She said she doesn't know who he is." " I don't know why she would say that." " Do you know him?" " He left me the book." " Your mother said she was a junkie." "I make up stuff about myself sometimes to make people think stuff about me." "Maybe if you told me something you were making up about yourself, I could tell you something" "I was making up about myself." " You lied to me about something?" " No, not to you." " What did you lie about?" " All I'm saying is if you told me you were making stuff up about your father, maybe I could tell you something." " Just tell me what you lied about." " I didn't..." " I don't wanna live with a liar." "You can't stay here in my apartment if you're a liar." " I'm not a liar." " Rule number four from the book, always tell the truth." "You can't break that rule." " I'm not an actor." " You're not a Princess." " No, I'm not a Princess." " Those people in the photos, they're your family." " Yes." " What happened to your mother?" " She died." "My father killer her." " He killed her?" " They used to fight a lot." "My father would drink, she would hide his bottles the one place she knew he wouldn't go looking for them, under my bed." "Then he'd go out to the bar instead." "He'd come home still thirsty." "One night he came home and they started fighting again." "Money, work, then finally, "where's my bottles?" ""Where's my bottles?"" "Mom made swear not to tell him, so I lay in my bed." "I stayed there as the screaming got louder and louder." "And then it changed, it was a different scream." "It was a scream you had to make stop like when a baby cries." "So I went under my bed, I found a bottle," "I took it to the kitchen, and my father was standing there a knife in his hand, blood dripping." "Mom was crumpled in a heap." "He looked at the bottle, he looked at me." "His eyes were blank." "There was nothing in them." "They ruled it temporary insanity." " What happened to you?" " When my sisters were older they took care of me until he came back." "But when he came back, I couldn't be around any more." "I couldn't feel safe." " Is that the truth?" " Maybe sometimes it's better not to know your father all that well." " My father was a great actor." " Okay." " I don't believe you." "I don't believe anything you say any more." "I want you out by tomorrow." "Mr. hill?" "I really prefer not to do this." "Look, I know it's not standard operating procedure, but maybe give me a key?" "Mr. hill." " Oh, I got dizzy." " Let's get you into bed, can you stand up?" " Where are we going?" " I want to show you something, your bedroom." " No, no, it's filthy." " Your bedroom is clean, Mr. hill." "It just needed a little dusting." " No, my chair." " You need to lie down." " Stop." " The bed is made and everything." "It'll be nice and comfy." " No no, just let me go." "Freda." " It doesn't sound like the hill family's gonna sue." " I get it, I fucked up." " I told you, we are a food delivery service." "We do chores." "We're not licensed to provide medical assistance." "Why didn't you call an ambulance?" " You're firing me, it's not a big deal, you're not the first." "It's just the first job I actually cared about." " I'm not firing you." "You made a mistake, learn from it." " You have to fire me." "I fucked up, I get fired." " I am not firing you." " I killed a man, you have to fire me!" " You want to get fired?" "Fire yourself." "Quit if you like." " Fine." "I quit!" " What are you doing here?" " Who's that?" " He's my guest." " Is Harvey my dad?" " I'll be going." " I'll call..." " sure, sure." " Did you talk to Harvey?" " Did you get fired?" " I quit." " What happened?" " I killed a client." " What?" " I gave him a stroke." " Oh, you can't give somebody a stroke." " He didn't have to die." " You didn't get fired?" " No, I quit." " What did Harvey say?" " It's pretty obvious I'm not cut out for the job." " Harvey didn't say that." " He said, "you want to get fired, fire yourself."" " That's how he talks." " You've been smoking again." " Mel must have left 'em." " Mel smokes slims?" " I guess he does." " If you're smoking, say you smoke." " I'm not smoking." " Because if you tell me you don't smoke and I know you're smoking, how can I believe anything you tell me?" " Because I tell you it's true." " Whereas if I know you're smoking, and you tell me you smoke, I won't be happy, but I'll know you're honest." " They're not mine." " Whereas if you tell me you're not smoking and I can smell it on your clothes and on your hair," "I know you're lying." " I'm not smoking." " Is Harvey my father?" " How is this supposed to make me feel?" "Did I not work every day of your childhood to clothe you and to feed you?" "Did I not still squirrel away money so at Christmas time" "I could buy you presents?" " Is he?" " Don't you think I wanted you to have a father?" " It's him, right?" "Is it Harvey?" " Where did you get that?" " In a book in your closet, elements of acting." " In college, before I dropped out." " Is it him?" " That's me." "That's my dad." "You never met him." "A father is somebody who sticks around." "Nobody ever stuck around," "I couldn't get anybody to stick around." "Not even him." " Harvey didn't stick around for us?" " Harvey was a counselor after you were born, before I got clean." "He couldn't help me, us." "I wasn't ready." "And I wouldn't let him help you either." " Are any of those guys, any of those bosses you sent me to, any of them?" " None of them." "Why won't you believe me?" "You know, sometimes people lie." "But sometimes you should believe them." " I think," "I think I fucked up." "Susan?" "Rockford." "Hi." " You're back." " I love my job, I don't wanna quit." " Okay." " Can I borrow a Van for the weekend?" " Yeah?" " I'm looking for Susan." " Who says there's a Susan here?" " That is not how we answer the damn door." "Can I help you?" " Is Susan here?" " And who might you be?" " I'm from Chicago, my name is Sam." "I'm a friend of Susan's." " A friend?" " Get out, Vera." "Susan's got a dude, get in here." "Susan, you didn't talk about Sam." "Susie, wash your hands, wash your hands." "I'm her sister, Lily, and this our older sister Vera here." " Hiya." " That's Jason, my husband." " Sorry about the door." " This little one here is grace, my daughter, and my older daughter, Tara, is probably running around out back somewhere." " I believe you." " You're here to rescue me?" " Rescue you from what?" " Somebody at the door?" " You're in trouble, dad's coming." "Hey, pops, Susan has someone she wants you to meet." "This is Sam." " He can stay for dinner." " They're just so cute." " Yeah, they're cute." " You just wanna eat 'em up." "You know, just something so cute you just wanna eat it all up?" "Like chop it into a salad." "Their little fingers, little ears, just eat 'em up." " Yeah, I got ya." " You take my little girl and I'll chop you up into little pieces." "Wait, that come out wrong." "I don't mean 'cause you're cute." " No, right." " I meant the part about taking my little girl." " I understand what you were telling me." " Ooh, it's a beauty." " Oh, she's done it again." " Mmm, look at that." " Mmm." " Dad, you wanna say grace?" " God, we thank you for the blessing of this food, and this family." "Couldn't bring my Lorna back to me, but you brung Susie back and it's like Lorna's here in spirit." " Amen." " And lord, thank you so much for this nice young man." "Maybe he'll make an honest woman of my little girl one day." " Dad!" " I'm just saying, you're a good guy, welcome." " Thanks." " Now, son, the way I carve these things, what I like to do is start with the leg." " Ooh, look how juicy." " These two have such a nice aura about them." " Don't they?" "You could stay here, Jason could help you get a job." " Maybe some sort of a starter job." " He can't just leave his practice behind, he's got patients." " You're a doctor?" " He's a therapist." " I'm an occupational therapist." "I help people in the place they occupy." " Well, there's plenty of crazy people here." " Yeah, I dunno, maybe I could." " What about all your patients?" " We don't wanna lose our Susie again." " Seems like we're always losing our Susie." "Remember that time in the field?" " Oh god, mom almost had a nervous breakdown." "She was sick." " Dad, tell the story." " It was back when I was still driving the truck before the sciatica made me useless." "I was coming through Iowa, and on the Cb" "Susie's mother told me that Susie's lost in the corn." "Yeah." "Never so scared in my life, I put the pedal down on the floor, and grinding the hell out of the gears." "I got here in two hours." "Pulled up right on my lawn." "I was hugging her crying mother." "I didn't notice how high the corn was, if we went in there, we'd never even be able to find each other." "A couple of moments later, like a vision, she was walking out of the cornrows in her little summer dress." "Even then she looked just like her mother." " It must tear you up with guilt." " Well, we found her." "All's well that ends well." " No I mean, the mother, Lorna." " Guilty about what?" " After she, after you, well, I mean, it wasn't on purpose, it was an accident, sort of." " What was an accident." " When he killed her." " Susan?" " He's right, we all know." " Dad, don't say that." " Come on, kids." " What did you tell him?" " I couldn't give her what she needed." " Dad, don't say that." " I didn't love her hard enough." " Dad, it was the cancer." " Dad, please don't get sad again." "Mom's here with us tonight, you said so yourself." " Cancer?" " What did she tell you?" " You told me he killed her." " I know it, he's right." " Dad, you did not kill mom." " Did you say that?" " Of course not." " Why would you say such a thing?" " It's not true." " I'm sorry, I, I must have misheard." " Jeez, dad." " No no no no please, it's okay, it's okay." " I came here to rescue you from a psychotic man who you ran away from, but it was just another story." " What do you care, you don't know these people." " I feel humiliated." "They hate me." " You lied to me too." " When I was in third grade, I was convinced my math teacher Mr. Barney was my dad." "He had a little limp, so I started limping too." "When I was in fourth grade, I was sure is was my gym teacher, so I lost the limp for a strut." "I remember believing it was the mailman." "Local beat cops, guys at stores, any grown up man" "I met more than once." "Then one day, my mom was working some late shift on a third job, and I was going through her closet," "I found the book, the photo slipped out, and I just..." "I get it, it was just easier, but I believed it." "It's stupid, I see that." " It's even worse, you lied to yourself." " At least I have a reason." " I had a reason." " A reason for calling your own father a murderer?" " You said it yourself." "You only followed me because you believed me." " So I came." "Why am I here?" " You shouldn't be." " Is somebody gonna apologize to dad?" " You didn't do anything, you know that." " Hey, I just wanna say, I think I got confused." "I have a lot of patients." "Sometimes I get stories mixed up in my head." "I realize now that something one of my patients said, not Susan." " You ruined dinner." " Hey, he comes in peace." " Look, it's not a family meal unless there's a dust up or two." "It's not a big deal." "Don't worry about it." " There you go." "Daddy, will you play guitar for us?" " Okay." " Jeez, then I'll build a fire." " You can sing." " It's her voice, I swear." " It's like she's back." " She's the prettiest of all of 'em." "She looks so much like her mom I could cry." "I'm not ready to lose her again." "I'm not ready to let you take her away from me." "Don't take her away." " It's morning, it's morning!" " Tara, cut that out." "Sorry about that." " Making breakfast?" " No one else will make it." " What's in your hair?" " Why are you still here?" " Your father, last night, he was in the hallway, he..." " Look at you." "Dad, look." " Where did you get this?" " I kept it in my drawer." "You don't like it?" " What is it?" " It was mom's." "Doesn't she look beautiful?" " I need some coffee." " So how did you two meet?" " We were at a baseball game..." " we were on the train." " Well, which is it?" " Her hand brushed mine." "When I felt that touch, that was all I needed." "I followed her home, I would have followed her to the gates of hell." " Aw, that's sweet." " Bit creepy." " I just thought of something." "Do you remember, we took a road trip, it was my idea." "It was an unusually warm April." "I said I can get us a car." "Let's go to the dells, let's go camping." "You said it might rain, but I insisted." "Do you remember?" " The forecasts, they all said rain." " I was stubborn, I get a tent of storage," "I borrow a car for work." " You threw out the cigarette lighter so I wouldn't smoke." " I'm not gonna think about that now," "I hate myself for that." "I had to control everything." " You wanted me to be the best." " We sit in that tent for three straight days, it never stopped raining, we never stopped playing cards." " Gin rummy and I beat you every hand." " God, I got so angry." " You like to win." " I wanna go back." "I wanna put you in the car." "I wanna save you from the mud, and the wet." "I wanna roll up the tent." " Leave the tent, it's all muddy." " Stop at a diner on the 94, get some hot split pea soup." " I hate split pea soup." " You like split pea soup." " No I don't." " I wanna make you warm." "I wanna take you home." " Please."

"Impossible impossible." "We are in a way too different place." "There's no way she's gonna talk to us." "Why?" "In love, intelligence doesn't matter." "Isn't that so?" "That's right." "It doesn't matter." "Girls and fish are the same." "The point is, you just have to think about fishing nets." "In short, you spread the net out like this" "There is only one entrance here." "Meaning it can open right?" "Then, when you're pulling the net in, you must at once.." "Capture finished!" "I see." "Alright." "That's why the girl Shuu-niichan brought here the other day has a face that resembles a salmon, yeah?" "You punks!" "I'm not a dog." "Ouch ouch.." "Where on earth is there such a cute salmon?" "You rascal!" "Hey!" "Don't fool around over there." "Yup!" "Kohei." "You don't have to go to training class?" "Oh shoot!" "See you later!" "I'm going." "Oh Sae, your lunch box." "Oh.." "I have a night shift today." "Got it." "Do it calmly alright?" "Yeah." "I'm going." "Have a safe trip." "Oh Sae." "Ah." "Going to school?" "Yeah." "Here, drink some milk." "Sorry." "I don't have time." "Sae." "Don't drive too fast!" "I know~!" "Good morning, Ryoko." "This place is in bad condition." "Help me repair it?" "Hmm?" "Sae~!" "Minami!" "What's up?" "Going to my grandma's place for some errands." "Sae, this day's finally come right?" "Yeah." "Do your best." "If it's Sae, things will definitely be fine." "Thanks." "Sa..." "Sae.." "Hi.." "Hi.." "Hi.." "Hi.." "I wish to inform all the passengers that" "For the moment, there would be an interruption as we have just run into a deer." "A deer?" "This is great." "It is stuck here." "Let's try to pull it out." "Yes." "Wait~!" "I'm getting on!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Are you in a hurry?" "Eh?" "Important business?" "I have an exam." "Exam?" "Me too!" "Really?" "What time does it start?" "10 o'clock." "Uncle!" "Excuse me." "This is Kohei." "Umm.." "I want to borrow your phone." "No use." "Seems that he's gone out to the field." "I'll go see him." "Umm.." "Do you know how to drive?" "Huh?" "Well.." "I can drive a little bit, tentatively." "If you can... can't we borrow that?" "What?" "Er but... that is not really.." "I'll be in big trouble if I don't make it on time." "Please do me this favor." "My life depends on this." "Phew.." "Oh!" "What?" "How about your exam?" "Will you make it?" "Well.. may..maybe." "Really?" "Then it's fine though." "Eh?" "Aaa!" "Uwah!" "Uwah!" "Stop the car!" "Stop!" "I can't stop it!" "Sae!" "Mom." "Are you injured?" "There doesn't seem to be any injury." "She was rushing to school." "Well, but still driving without a license is not a good thing." ""Without a license"..." "You drove a car?" "Oh no no no." "The one driving wasn't your daughter, but a male student from a fisheries high school." "He does have a temporary license though." "However...a temporary license is still only temporary." "It's not a permanent one, so..." "You're never going to register for a permanent license again!" "But in that situation.." "Men don't make excuses!" "Dad!" "Kohei didn't have bad intention..." "Who cares about bad intention or whatnot!" "Thanks goodness, she wasn't injured or anything." "What you did was theft!" "Huh?" "Come here!" "Come!" "Father, your blood pressure will increase!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "Come!" "Enough." "Your pain will worsen." "To get a recommendation, it's not just about your grades." "Your everyday demeanor does contribute a part too." "You should have known that too right?" "Even if you were in a hurry, I still can't understand how you could have gotten in a car driven by a boy from a fisheries school who doesn't have a driving license." "That was.. um.." "You'll be suspended." "Eh?" "The other person is a male student." "Of course this must be." "Without a license, he transgressed the speed limit." "Even the car he stole was broken, yes?" "At any rate, don't ever get involved with people in his lot again." "Sae." "Umm.." "I was wondering how you were doing after all that..." "What happened to the exam?" "Hey!" "Hang... hang on a moment!" "Why are you ignoring me.." "It was hopeless." "Eh?" "They decided to give another student the recommendation to go to Waseda." "I see." "How did you get those bruises?" "I didn't ask you for it." "It's fine, you don't have to cover for me." "Oh erm.. but..." "Look." "Because you said that you life depended on it." "I have been stupid since forever, so to me getting suspended from school is really no big deal." "Taking a break from school and going home, I'm lucky." "Why don't you try taking the exam?" "What?" "The real exam is in February right?" "You seem pretty smart, so maybe you can start from now..." "It's not that simple." "Starting from now..." "Starting from now, it's definitely impossible." "Why are you grumbling there?" "Not getting a recommendation, and it already seems like the world is coming to an end." ""Coming to an end"..." "Don't say it that way..." "You're always "I want to study English in university"," ""I want to go to Tokyo"." "Those urges are just to that extent?" "Not that I really mind though." "If you decide not to take the exam, I don't have to work at the tavern at night any more." "Sae!" "What?" "You ate all the inari-sushi here?" "Eh?" "I can't?" "Still having the energy to eat means you're alright." "Because if you are truly depressed, you won't swallow anything." "I look like I lost some weight right?" "How come?" "From that time onwards, I eat any proper meal." "Didn't you eat red bean bread just now?" "Red bean bread is... just a snack." "My stomach can't hold on with just snacks.." "Hey!" "There she is..." "There she is!" "Huh?" "As I said, that girl." "The one from Kushiro Ryonan..." "Eh?" "Huh?" "Me?" "Me huh?" "Like I know." "You go hear her out for yourself." "Ah.." "Um.." "Um.." "Ah, yes?" "I'm sorry about the other day." "It wasn't your fault." "Not at all.." "About the entrance examination..." "Yes?" "I've decided to take on the challenge." "Huh oh..." "Oh I..." "I see." "I was thinking it's really my bad if you're bothered about it." "Oh no, not at all." "And also.." "Ah, yes?" "Thank you for having covered up for me." "Oh er.. sorry.." "Um.. um.. thi...this.." "I've been hesitating for a while whether to pass this to you." "How come?" "How come?" "How come~~?" "Hey!" "Tamotsu!" "Quickly go!" "See you." "Hiroshi." "You go catch him!" "What did you receive?" "No idea.." "Not something weird, is it?" "What's this?" "Collection of questions?" "Hmm..." ""I'm really sorry for what happened." "Please do you best for your exam." "If it's okay, please use these." "Kyochi Kohei"" "Uwah, what dirty handwriting." "This is wrong some more." "What's wrong?" "This is for high school examinations." "That's right!" ""Because" and then "she"." ""She is" as the subject is omitted." "Cram school?" "Yeah." "If I want to catch up with everyone now, I have to take extra lessons." "Then, I will look for a part-time job in Kushiro." "Eh?" "If I do, then we can go home together right?" "Hey!" "Sorry." "We must hurry." "Or else we'll be late for the train." "Since primary school?" "Yea." "The first time I boarded a ship was during my third grade in primary school." "My Grandpa is known as a legendary fisherman, not just among the locals." "Really?" "Yeah." "Then, combining my Grandpa's name and the word "Ko" from my name, we have the name written on my family's ship "Koeimaru"." "You've wanted to become a fisherman ever since that time?" "Well, more like I was in the so-called..." "special education for the gifted?" "Sae-chan, you have always wanted to go to university?" "When I was in third year of junior high, my teacher recommended that to me." "My mom was quite into the idea too." "Your mother is a nurse?" "A nurse in addition to a tavern worker." "From time to time at a karaoke shop." "Wow that's pretty impressive." "Well karaoke is her hobby though." "Huh?" "Quite heavy aren't you?" "Eh?" "Because so many worries are packed inside?" "Ouch!" "Hey, where are we going?" "Not telling you." "Where?" "This is kidnapping." "Where?" "Told you I'm not saying." "Beautiful~!" "The ocean seen from this place is the one I like best." "Ever since I was a child, whenever my dad hit me, I would usually come here." "I'm a little jealous of that." "Why would you?" "He only hits and kicks me you know." "You saw right, the bruises that time." "Hmm because..." "I was never scolded by my dad." "Eh?" "He passed away, when I was 5 years old." "Ah.. sorry." "It's nothing." "You don't have to apologize." "Somehow, this scene feels nostalgic." "Even though it's my first time coming here." "Isn't it chilly?" "Your hand's cold." "What.. is this?" "Seeds of a tree." "Seeds?" "Yeah." "Here, take a look." "Peel off the skin, and then scatter them into the soil like this." "See?" "Then roots will come out?" "That's right." "If it's all well, roots will come out." "Someday, it might even bear flowers." "When will flowers bloom?" "I wonder when." "At that time, how old will Sae have become?" "Hey, Sae." "What?" "Even if Dad will have gone to a faraway place," "I will always be watching over Sae." "Sae?" "Sae!" "Oh, Mom." "Welcome back." "A present." "It's some leftover food at the shop, though." "This is Mom, and this is me." "Heh~" "Where is this?" "Canada." "Canada?" "Yeah." "I was born in this town." "What?" "But, I don't remember anything about the town." "As far as I can remember, my mom and I, the two of us, have been living in Hokkaido." "How about your dad?" "He would usually go out on trips to take photos so he didn't come home." "He seemed to be that sort of person." "But during my 5-years-old birthday, all of a sudden, the dad that I'd never seen before came back." "How come?" "Because Dad came to know about his illness." "Illness?" "Yeah." "Cancer." "Someday.." "Hmm?" "Someday.." "I want to see it." "The place where Sae was born." "Me too." "Why?" "Why, Tamotsu?" "We promised to become fishermen together, didn't we?" "Somehow, I don't feel inclined to do it anymore." "That's all." "How about your job?" "What are you going to do from now on?" "I heard he's going to a shipping company where hid Dad works in Kushiro." "But still why did he, all of a sudden.." "Jealousy." "Huh?" "He's jealous of Sae-chan and you." "It hurts him that much." "What a thickhead." "Erm.. even so.." "Then why did he bother to come to a fishery?" "Making rash decisions in everything is his peculiar trait." "Leave him be for a while, and his mood will be normal again." "Sae-chan is surely taking the exam to go to university in Tokyo?" "Yeah." "I see." "Hey, Hiroshi." "Huh?" "Am I, by any chance, a hypocrite?" "On the surface, I always say I will be supporting Sae." "But once in a while, I wish that Sae will fail the entrance exam." "How.. how come?" "Because... if she fails, she can stay with me forever." "What?" "What the heck?" "It's not something to laugh about." "You're so irritating." "Hey dangerous." "Dangerous." "Let's go eat steamed meat bun." "Hey, I'm famished." "(Chance of getting into desired universities." "Waseda University" " D)" "The eldest brother of one of my friends in junior high seems to have opened a stylish restaurant in Suehiro province." "And then, I have already asked him to reserve a table for us on Christmas Eve." "I.. have earned a little from my part-time job so.." "Eh?" "When we're together, we should just have a fun chat." "In times like these, don't keep studying." "Because I don't have much time any more." "I understand that." "No, you don't!" "Because Kohei-kun has never studied for an exam before, so you won't understand." "If so, then let's stop going home together." "My presence here just disrupts your studies." "You should continue studying by yourself however much you like." "Don't alight wherever you please!" "Don't alight by yourself wherever you please!" "What a stupid girl." "Sae, don't get off like this." "If you catch a cold, what am I going to do?" "Because..." "It was my bad." "The truth is..." "I wonder why I'm going to take the exam in Tokyo..." "I have thought about it many times." "If I stay here," "I can be with Kohei-kun and we won't be separated right?" "However, as I thought, I still have to go." "I myself decided that I would go to university." "And ever since then, I have always only focused on that." "I can't give it all up now." "I don't want to think that I'm a weak-willed person." "Strange, aren't I?" "Not at all." "Do your best, Sae." "Someday, when I can speak fluent English," "I will be on my feet to travel all over the world." "Because I will... become a fisherman who can travel through all the oceans in the world." "Yeah." "Sae!" "What's the matter?" "I passed." "I passed Waseda's examination." "I see." "I can't believe it." "I thought it was completely impossible." "No such thing." "I have always had faith in you." "That Sae will definitely pass." "Thank you!" "Alright!" "Congratulations~ I did it!" "Is it okay not to go?" "What about?" "Sae-chan is going to Tokyo today right?" "It's fine, really." "How so?" "Leave him alone." "If he doesn't want to go, then there's no way we can force him." "It's no use chasing after a fish that has escaped the net." "You really have made no progress, haven't you, Shuu-niichan?" "Huh?" "People and fish are different." "People's heart is.." "like.." "much more complicated." "What did you come here for?" "We thought you would never show up before us again." "Well.." "Isn't it fine?" "What the heck?" "Kohei, i won't be jealous anymore, so go send her off." "If you don't come, Sae-chan will..." ""I'm not going" means I'm not going." "Leave me alone." "Uncle, take care of your body okay?" "Sae-chan, eat this while you're on the airplane." "Thank you!" "I'm happy." "Eat this too." "Thank you." "Non-chan, take care alright?" "Sae." "Be well okay?" "Minami too." "You're welcome to stay over at my place any time." "I will come even if you don't say so." "I've booked a ticket for Golden Week already." "I'll be waiting." "We're departing soon." "Be well and look after yourself." "Please eat your meals properly." "Yeah." "Go quickly now." "You're the one who decided to go to Tokyo." "Mom." "What?" "Thank you." "Be well." "Have a safe trip." "A long time ago, in the spring when I was 20," "I also drove your mom in this car and sent her off to the airport." "Eh?" "Ryoko decided to go overseas in order to chase after your father." "She kept it a secret from both her parents." "I was stunned, and tried to stop her." "But she insisted on going no matter what, and would not listen to me." "Masato-niichan right.." "What?" "Weren't you in love with Mom?" "It couldn't be helped." "She didn't listen to me." "And besides, I couldn't confess to her, either." "Is that so?" "Yeah." "But at that time, I realized that if I was going to confess, I needed to do it then." ""I love you." "Don't go."" ""I love you." "Don't go." "I love you." "Don't go."" ""I love you." "Don't go."" "The whole time I was driving her, those words echoed in my heart until we reached the airport.." "Nii-chan, pull over." "Huh?" "Please, stop the car." "Kohei-kun." "Kohei-kun!" "Oh." "There she is." "(Do your best, Sae)" "Sae, do you best!" "Do you best, Sae!" "Thanks." "I'll write you." "Got it." "I'll be back." "I'll be back." "We're going." "Okay." "Kohei, don't slack off." "Yes." "You're interested in photography?" "Eh?" "Ah.." "These are my works." "How are they?" "Nice, right?" "I don't intend to join the club or anything." "Nah, you don't need to have a camera." "You can be a model too." "80 60 80?" "For now, just tell me your contact address first.." "Umm.." "I don't have time for that." "I don't have money." "And also, I have to look for a part-time job." "Excuse me." "Oh!" "Then, should I introduce you to a good part-time job?" "Eh?" "2000 yen per hour." "4 days a week." "How's that?" "Well, it's night work though." "Excuse me." "Eh?" "One more bowl." "Yes." "Nii-chan, this came today." "You...!" "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" "Give it to me." "Out of my sight!" "You watch out!" "Hey, don't hit me." "Wait, are you going to eat or not?" "Hello?" "Ah.. it's me." "Kohei-kun?" "You wrote in the letter that you've got a connected phone, so I tried calling." "Thank you." "Kohei-kun is the first one to call me." "Seriously?" "Yay!" "Are you well?" "Yeah." "How about Sae?" "I'm good." "Where are you now?" "At the public phone booth in front of the fishery cooperative." "We've starting using fixed-net fishing, so it starts early in the morning." "In the evening, when it's past 8 p.m, my house becomes very quiet." "Hey.. somehow..." "What?" "I miss Hokkaido dialect." "What are you talking about?" "I always speak the standard language." "Ehh?" "Don't laugh." "Of course I do." "I said don't laugh." "Year 1582." "This is a very important year." "Because it's 1582, let's memorize it by using "ichigo pantsu" (strawberry-patterned underpants)" "(note: it has the same pronunciation)" "Then, what I'd like you to remember together with this strawberry underpants are" "Battle of Tenmokuzan, the The Incident at Honnoji and finally Battle of Yamazaki." "Make sure you can recall this order of events at the back of your head." "(Kitami-sensei's photos corner)" "Normally, I work part-time here, saving enough money to go around to take photos." "How about school?" "You hit me right on the nail." "I'm already in my sixth year." "There are many photos of children, aren't there?" "Yeah." "Because my heart is as pure as that of a young boy." "Eh?" "Er.. this is where you should laugh." "Yes." "These are all photos taken in a school." "This photo is nice, isn't it?" "Everyone's expression looks great." "Really great smiles." "Yes." "This is Hirasawa." "I am not home at the moment." "After the signal, please tell me your name and leave a message." "No matter how much I have begged him," "The Investment Director has already made the decision." "Please do something about it." "Union Director." "I beg of you." "Ken-chan." "In the last 2-3 years, the fish catch is decreasing here." "You're not the only one faced with difficulties." "The fishery cooperative is barely holding on too." "I understand that." "I will definitely do something about the arrears." "Would you help me negotiate with him?" "I beg of you." "Hm.." "Ritsuko, make us two cups of tea." "Right away." "Ken-chan, let's talk this over." "Ko-chan." "You're the only one who hasn't submitted the sales receipt." "If you don't do it early, work can't progress." "Sorry." "After I'm done with this, I'll go and take it." "Hiroshi." "Don't you think Ko-chan has been spacing out a lot lately?" "Because of this." "Eh?" "His girlfriend was supposed to return from Tokyo during summer break." "But she's busy with her part-time job so she wouldn't come home anymore." "Part-time job?" "I wonder if it's true." "What do you mean?" "She just makes up an excuse to play around with another man." "A female university student in Tokyo.." "there's no way she will be in a long distance relationship with this countryside fisherman, is there?" "You like Kohei?" "Eh?" "You like him right?" "How on earth can I like him?" "He's totally not my type." "If so, won't you go out with me?" "Keep on dreaming." "Kohei!" "Hey, Kohei!" "Uwah." "Ouch." "Ow." "Are you ok?" "Don't get distracted while you're on a ship." "You can die anytime." "Sorry." "Thank you very much." "Please take care." "I see." "You're that fledgling fisherman from last time, right?" "Aren't you an unexpectedly good guy?" "Then, how is it?" "Eh?" "What about?" "Of course your long distance relationship." "Is it going well?" "No.." "Somehow, Sae.." "Ah no, Sae-chan is quite busy with her part-time job lately, so we haven't any time to..." "It seems that she's not going back this summer break either..." "If you are not careful, she will be nabbed away by men in Tokyo." "U..." "Um..." "What?" "Really, a mother can say things like that about her daughter?" "Somehow..." "What are you talking about?" "She's still young." "If she doesn't love one or two persons, she can't become a good woman." "To be her boyfriend, no matter it's you or any man in Tokyo, whoever is fine." "But you know, I hope she can like someone seriously and love that person without any regrets." "If by any chance, you are seriously about her too, get up the strength to bring her back here and have an all-out attack." "You only have one life to live." "Also, people can die in the blink of an eye." "Right now, for customers who would like to purchase Christmas cakes.." "Ah.!" "Excuse me.." "(Takadanobaba Station." "Waseda Exit. 5 p.m)" "It's still too early..." "Did you manage to make reservation at that restaurant?" "I did, right on the mark." "Thanks." "A reunion after a long time huh?" "Do you best." "Do you best." "I'll try my best." "Bye bye." "Bye bye." "Ah!" "Dressing fashionably like that for Christmas Eve..." "Going out with someone right?" "No comment." "Ah is that right?" "Spill the beans." "Please stop." "What, it's no big deal." "I don't like it." "Why?" "Hey.." "Kohei-kun." "I have wanted to go to this restaurant long before." "I see." "Yeah." "My friends at the university said that not only the atmosphere is nice, but the food is also cheap and delicious." "Heh~" "It was pretty hard to make reservations here." "Is that so?" "Yeah." "Oh, right." "Please go ahead and take a seat." "Here." "Your Christmas present." "Ah.." "Thank you." "Why are you angry?" "Not at all." "I'm not angry or anything." "You've been mad ever since some time ago." "That's why, I said I'm not." "I have looked forward to seeing Kohei-kun for a long time." "Even though I have looked forward to seeing you..." "Why are you..." "Me too, I'm the same." "Me too!" "I'm leaving." "Eh?" "Kohei-kun." "Kohei-kun!" "Kohei-kun, wait for me!" "Kohei-kun!" "What should we do?" "Let's go for karaoke?" "That hurts." "Don't screw with me." "Stop there!" "Lame piece of shit." "Enough." "Let's go already." "Hey what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Come." "Let go!" "Come!" "You rascal!" "Let go!" "Kohei-kun!" "Please stop!" "Someone!" "Someone, help!" "Kohei-kun!" "You rascal!" "Let go!" "Don't screw with me!" "Come in." "I will turn the stove on now." "Wash you face." "We need to disinfect your wounds." "I missed you." "I really missed you." "Sorry." "I woke you up?" "No." "What's wrong?" "Hmm..." "I thought of giving you this for Christmas..." "You made it for me?" "Tokyo has everything." "That's why, I didn't know what I should give you." "It looks like the ship that I'm gonna board one day." "(Do your best, Sae)" "Thank you." "Thank you, Kohei-kun." "Me too." "Thanks for this." "Hey..." "What's the matter?" "Even if we're separated," "we'll be alright, won't we?" "Of course." "My feelings won't change." "Definitely." "For the rest of my life." "They won't ever change." "Yeah." "Hirasawa-san, you're a senior right?" "Yes." "You haven't got any tentative offer from anywhere?" "Yes." "Since it's already this time, It's harsh to not receive any offer, isn't it?" "We do offer jobs that will make use of English and allow you to work overseas." "Yes." "But then, why don't you consider studying or finding a job in a foreign country?" "Hey!" "Sae!" "Over here, Sae!" "Long time no see." "New York?" "Yeah." "I'm departing soon." "I will be staying at an acquaintance's house for some time while taking photos." "I see.." "That's amazing." "It's not amazing at all." "Senpai." "Hmm?" "I might be hopeless already." "What?" "Ever since last year, I've constantly been looking for a job, but I didn't get into anywhere." "Even though there are so many companies here in Tokyo..." "Nowhere..." "I..." "I don't understand for what purpose I caused Mom so much hardship and went to a university in Tokyo." "For what purpose am I staying in Tokyo..?" "I don't know either." "Eh?" "Why am I doing my job..?" "For what purpose do I take photos..?" "What was the thing that I wanted to do..?" "Well." "Don't think too much about it." "Your life is not about getting into a company in Tokyo right?" "Yeah." "Later." "What do you want to talk about?" "Well, sit down." "I am sorry." "Dad.." "I am really sorry." "Yes?" "Hello, Sae?" "You're still up?" "Yeah." "What's the matter?" "Just because.." "I wanted to hear Sae's voice." "Ah right." "Did you get into that company?" "It's a trading firm right?" "I was turned down again." "I see." "It's tough right?" "It's tough." "I see, I see." "What?" "What's the matter?" "Kohei-kun?" "Sae.." "I..." "Maybe I should stop being a fisherman." "Eh?" "I was told by my Dad tonight.." "he is selling Koeimaru off." "When I.." "decided to suceed the family's business, my Dad borrowed a huge sum of money from the fishery cooperative" "to buy a brand-new ship." "The debt became bigger." "To the extent that it's impossible to pay it off." "My dad said.." "he would sell the boat to pay off the debt and then manage to scrape by with fishery." "But I..." "Can't I go there?" "There I'll search for a new job." "I'll definitely look for one." "I want to live together with Sae." "I want to be with Sae." "Such an... important thing..." "I can't give you an answer instantly." "I can't answer you now." "Hey!" "You're casting this town aside?" "Didn't you say we would become adults together?" "Look at you..." "You can go to Tokyo just like that?" "Move aside." "I'm not moving aside." "Huh?" "How are you gonna face your dad?" "Just because you want to go to Sae-chan's place.." "How can you understand my feelings?" "What do you understand about how I feel..." "Why should I understand?" "Huh?" "What the hell?" "Let go." "I'm not letting go." "What are you two doing?" "This is our last catch." "Quickly get prepared." "Kohei." "When you said you would start going to fishery high school, remember I was opposed to it?" "Yeah." "I didn't think you would oppose to it at all." "When you said you would succeed me in fishery," "I was really happy." "There's no doubt about it." "Yeah." "Kohei." "Don't take fishing as your job." "You go and follow your own path." "What happened?" "Ouch..!" "Hey!" "Someone, come!" "Captain is..." "What's wrong?" "Uncle?" "Are you alright, Uncle?" "Uncle!" "Hang in there." "Uncle!" "Uncle!" "Hiroshi, get me a blanket." "Yes." "Someone, call the cooperative." "Quickly." "Yes." "Bide-san." "Pull the net in." "Yes." "Kohei, go give them a hand!" "Kohei!" "Hey!" "What happened?" "Kenjiro collapsed." "Seems like a heart attack." "Ritsuko, call Mihoko-san." "Okay?" "Go!" "Got it." "He's still in the open sea." "I leave him to you." "Yes!" "Uncle!" "Uncle!" "Hang in there!" "I beg you!" "Hang in there!" "Dad..." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Sae.." "I.." "was that my punishment?" "Because I said.." "that I would stop fishing." "That I would break with the sea.." "That's why, Dad is..." "Dad has always pushed himself for my sake." "Sae." "I..." "As I thought, I can't go to Tokyo." "I can't... cast aside my Mom and my sister." "Yeah." "Kohei-kun, you can't be separated from the sea." "You're right." "Ever since the beginning," "I have never been.." "in Sae's future." "Eh?" "Sae." "Sae," "you must.." "realize your own dreams." "Goodbye." "Shuu-chan." "You're leaving already?" "I just visited Uncle's grave." "Auntie." "Thank you for everything you've done for me until now." "Kohei." "See you then." "What's this, all of you?" "Why so gloomy?" "Why are you all so gloomy?" "Hey, Ko-chan." "What?" "There's no such thing." "There is, right?" "Leave him be." "He's forever like that, only thinking about the woman that he's broken up with." "What the?" "That's not the only thing I think about." "Well..." "If you don't cut off all ties with the past, you can't go on living right?" "If people don't do that, they can't go forward." "What's wrong with you?" "Sounding all proud." "Seems that Tamotsu has got a girlfriend." "Isn't it a given that you're lying?" "I'm not." "This time I confessed to her properly." "Then, she said she liked me too." "Nah, impossible." "Who can like someone like you?" "You're up?" "Where are the rest?" "They went home already." "It'll be bad if you catch a cold right?" "Ko-chan, are you okay?" "Recently, whenever I see you..." "Wanna drink something?" "Ko-chan?" "Ko-chan.." "What do you mean?" "No." "I told you that the deadline was yesterday." "Okay." "Then, make sure you do it by 5 p.m today." "Yes. 5 p.m." "Okay?" "Thank you." "Hope he's gonna help a good job." "I got used to this kind of trouble." "Sae." "Yes?" "Here's the information for today's interview." "Okay." "Thank you." "I'm going." "Okay." "Good luck." "See you later." "She's been working very hard." "Yeah." "She's really changed a lot the last year." "America." "New York." "Especially good weather, nice days.." "Did you make your costumes yourself?" "I sewed them." "I just..." "Yes, that's right." "I'm going in ten minutes." "..as well as materials from other artists that gave to him as donations." "The artist is also a musician, isn't he?" "Yes, that's right." "See you tomorrow." "Ok." "See you tomorrow" "Bye!" "Bye!" "Sae." "Don't work too hard." "Or else you're gonna burn out." "But I have a deadline to meet." "I was wondering who." "Welcome back." "I'm back." "Oh my god." "Jun, welcome back!" "Hey!" "Jun!" "How are you?" "Jun!" "Hmm delicious!" "What an amazing appetite." "I didn't get to eat anything decent there." "Now everything tastes delicious." "Oh." "So whichever dish is fine huh?" "No no, just kidding." "Kidding." "I wanted to eat this meat and potato stew made by Sae." "How was Cambodia?" "Were you able to take good photos?" "Yeah." "I felt my improvement." "I will try bringing them to some newspaper companies." "I see." "Let me help give out the flyers." "I'm counting on you." "Great!" "What?" "Nothing." "You finally learned to smile again." "Totally different from that time when you first arrived here." "Is that really so?" "Yeah." "It was even written on your face." ""I'm falling apart"." "After you came here, you decided on lodging and everything else on your own." "It'd have been better if you had relied on me a bit more." "I'm sorry." "Well." "I'm no longer the senior you can depend on either huh?" "But after I came to New York, the first time I saw you," "I thought you were a totally different person." "Why?" "How should I say.." "Like you were really alive." "That morning, I saw everything from here." "Buildings crumbled right in front of my eyes." "I was so scared." "My whole body was shivering." ""Ahh." "A war is about to start."" "I'm not trying to deem myself important, but I..." "I thought I must do something." "Through my photos, even just a little, perhaps I still can convey something.." "So that's how it was." "Well." "I haven't been able to do anything though." "But I like Senpai's photos." "That's why, if there's anything I can do..." "Sae." "Yes?" "Enough of that." "Don't call me Senpai anymore." "Because I wanted to see you, I put my life on the line to come back." "You're exaggerating." "This is not where you should laugh." "Eh?" "Sae." "Let's get married." "Minami." "Sae." "Congratulations." "Thank you for traveling such a long distance." "No." "It's lovely." "You're beautiful." "Really?" "Yeah." "I tried my best to lose weight." "It really suits you." "Sae too." "Somehow you look really cool." "A New Yorker is sure different." "Minami." "Your uncle and others from Shibetsu have just arrived too." "Soon we..." "Congratulations." "Hey, you're living in New York now right?" "Yeah." "Amazing." "Then you must be very fluent at English right?" "No, not at all." "I'm still having a hard time." "Eh~ really?" "Really." "Then, see you later." "Yeah." "Long time no see." "Ah, thank you." "Ko-chan." "Here." "Oh thank you." "Hey, there are so many people here right?" "Will Tamotsu be alright?" "He's surely very nervous." "Long time no see." "Long time no see." "This is Ritsuko, my wife." "I got married." "I heard already." "From Minami." "I see." "Hello." "Nice to meet you." "I'm Hirasawa." "I'm Kiuchi." "Nice to meet you." "Ritsuko." "Come." "We have a meeting about the program for the afterparty." "Ah, I got it." "You're so loud." "Please excuse me." "She's always like that." "Her sense of civility is pretty off." "Well, but she's trying her hardest for the family." "She really helps me out a lot." "I see." "Yeah." "You seem to be doing well." "Kohei-kun too." "Somehow, did you grow sturdier?" "No way." "I'm already an uncle in the making." "I heard you're living in New York?" "Yeah." "Then, you came all the way?" "Yeah, well." "I see." "Yeah." "How is your job?" "It's still as tough as before." "I still manage to make ends meet though." "I see." "Yeah." "Sae..." "Nothing." "Thank you all for waiting." "Please welcome the groom and the bride." "Ever since he was young, whenever he's nervous, his right hand and right leg will sync with each other." "You're right." "There you'll see." "Sae-chan came back home?" "Aren't they quite stingy with the food?" "It's not charged as part of the total expenses, is it?" "Sae, let's drink a little?" "Yeah." "Okay." "It's been a long time since you last came home, so I have something to tell you too." "What is it?" "Hmm, it's nothing much..." "What is it?" "I was... proposed by someone." "No way!" "Who?" "I'm not gonna tell you." "I'm home." "Oh welcome back." "I went to the supermarket in Nakabetsu because the soy sauce there was on promotion." "Thank you." "Leave the rest to me." "Mother, you sit down." "Then, I leave it to you." "Yeah." "Where's Ko-chan?" "He took out his car some time ago." "Where to?" "He didn't say anything." "The cooperative maybe?" "I see." "(Do your best, Sae)" "I thought of bringing it to the other side of the ocean." "But perhaps, I'm never coming back to Japan anymore." "You are going to live in New York permanently?" "That's my plan." "My current job..." "may look like only a part-time one." "I want to do it properly from now on." "Besides," "I might be getting married too." "Is that so?" "Yeah." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Ah." "To an American?" "A Japanese." "That person..." "The person that Sae is going to marry.." "Is he a good person?" "Yeah." "I see." "Then that's good." "At last, Sae can.." "realize your own dream right?" "No, not at all." "I'm still halfway there." "You had an accent just now." "I'm sure glad that I came back this time." "Eh?" "To be able to talk to Kohei-kun this way," "I am glad." "Just drop me off here." "Thank you." "Then, take care okay?" "Sae too." "Yeah." "Sae.." "You must become happy." "Kohei-kun.." "Where did you go?" "Where did you go until this late, Ko-chan?" "I was drinking with Hiroshi and others." "There was a call from Hiroshi." "He said everyone was looking for Ko-chan." "That you didn't answer your cell phone no matter how many times they tried to call you." "He counted on me to tell you." "It already seems hopeless for our family." "The union said that they would not lend money to us anymore." "They have resolved to do that." "There's no way else but to go bankrupt." "What have you been doing at a crucial time like this?" "What have you been doing?" "Hi, I'm back." "Hey, welcome back." "Hey!" "How was Japan?" "It was great." "Thanks for giving me a vacation, George." "This is from Junichi." "What?" "The project he's been waiting for came in." "It's a big break for him." "Thank you." "(To Sae." "The newspaper company suddenly asked me to collect some data, so I'm leaving New York for a while." "After I come back, please give me your answer." "I'm off." "From Kitami Junichi)" "What?" "A love letter?" "Jacy." "Yes?" "We'll probably get married after he gets back." "Oh my god." "You're getting married?" "Congratulations." "I'm so excited for you." "Oh my God." "So excited for you guys." "That's wonderful!" "I'll confirm it." "I really caused you a lot of trouble." "Nii-chan." "Everything is finished now." "Kohei." "Your flight is soon right?" "I'll send you off." "Your sister and I will be alright." "Quickly go to Ritsuko-san's place." "Kohei." "Thank you for everything you've done for the sake of our family up until now." "I'm back." "Ritsuko?" "Ritsuko!" "We would like to interrupt the variety show to break a piece of news to you." "On the 24th of this month, in the south of Baghdad, 30 km away from the town of Mahmudiyah, a Japanese photo journalist was shot to death by a group of armed insurgents while on his way to collect data." "The deceased is a freelance photographer who resides in New York" "Kitami Junichi-san, 31 years old." "Kitami-san had been in the local area since the 20th to cover the events while commuting in a car." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you very much for coming to Kitami Junichi Memorial Exhibit." "As you all know, Junichi loved freedom, loved art, loved the humor, and was loved by everyone." "When I was lost in my life, he lighted my way." "After experiencing 911 here in New York, he found his purpose in art which was to photograph the beautiful smiles of children in war zones." "I still remember how he always used to say:" ""Even though these children live in horrific situations, they have the most life-filled, gorgeous eyes." "And it's my calling to show what lies behind those smiles."" "He lost his life in Iraq in May 2003, but I truly believe" "Junichi is still with us." "I hope he and his message will continue to live in your hearts." "Thank you for loving and supporting Junichi." "It was an honor to have known you, Junichi." "Thank you, Junichi." "Thank you everyone for coming." "I was surprised." "You suddenly appear." "You haven't come home for 2 years, so of course I have no choice but to come here." "Sorry for causing you to worry." "What a great person." "Hm?" "Kitami-san." "Just by looking at the photos he took, I can understand what sort of person he was." "Yeah." "It was a great speech." "Kitami-san should be quite pleased, shouldn't he?" "You think so?" "Of course." "Because Sae has done this much for him." "Even in this distant land, unable to depend on anyone," "you really tried your best." "Really.. tried your hardest to reach this place where you are now." "Hey, Sae." "If you want to come home, you're welcome to be back anytime." "That house and that garden too are still the same." "Thanks." "But.." "give me more time to think." "I will try to think for myself." "Straight down, turn right." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Excuse me." "Where is the lighthouse?" "Down the dock, turn right into the house, up the hill." "Yeah, that's correct." "Thank you." "Thank you and hope that you'll come again." "Thank you." "Bye!" "Bye!" "(Do your best, Sae)" "This ship is..." "A Japanese guy left it here a few days ago." "A Japanese guy?" "A young fisherman." "Maybe a tuna boat from Japan comes into port every year for supplies." "A tuna boat?" "He said the original owner of the ship was born here." "He might still be at the port." "Kohei-kun." "Kohei-kun." "Kohei-kun." "Kohei-kun." "Put it close to their mouth, ok?" "I said I got it already." "Sae." "Sae." "Welcome home." "Welcome home." "I'm back." "Sae!" "What is this?" "When did you take these photos?" "Well I'm at this age already, so it's quite embarrassing." "No such thing." "It's not embarrassing at all." "Because it's a memory for our whole life right?" "Yeah." "Right?" "She looks nice right?" "Beautiful isn't she?" "Yeah, beautiful." "Enough already." "I'm putting this away." "Masato-niichan." "It's great right?" "Your first love is requited." "Yeah!" "Somehow this town has become quite lonely too." "Really?" "None of our friends remains in this hometown." "Hiroshi has also left for Nemuro." "In the end, the ones left behind are only the two of us." "How is Kohei-kun doing?" "I don't really know about that." "His mother and Mika-chan are staying with their relatives in Obihiro." "But Kohei has broken up with Ritsuko." "Since then, he has been looking for job." "Well, since if it's him, he must be doing well." "He must definitely be doing well." "If he isn't, we will be bothered, right?" "Yeah." "Welcome." "(Please be with me)" "I told you, right?" "I've had enough of fishing already." "I quit fishing." "Eh?" "I lied." "Fishing is the only thing I can do." "128 yen please." "I'm done here at 6 o'clock." "What?" "Wait for me at the parking lot." "Oh.. okay." "I understand." "Keep the change." "I'll be waiting." "Ah." "Welcome." "It's having beautiful red autumn leaves this year too." "Yeah." "This tree has grown big too, hasn't it?" "You're right." "He was a willful person." "Eh?" "Your Dad." "He was really a willful person." "But in his last moments, your dad told me." ""I'm glad to have met you."" ""Thank you for having given birth to Sae, and for staying with me till the end."" "I see." "That is enough for me." "We are happy, aren't we?" "Like this, we can go on living under your father's watch." "Yeah." "Once upon a time, there were three little pigs." "I build my house out of straw." "I build my house out of straw." "I build my house out of wood." "I build my house out of wood." "Very good." "Little pig, little pig." "Let me in, let me in." "Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin." "Then I'll huff and I'll puff till I blow your house..." "IN!" "I'll eat you up." "See you." "Watch out." "Have a nice day." "Bye bye!" "Kohei-kun." "Sae."

"So you got everything?" "You gonna play video games the whole flight or do you think you might actually crack a book?" "Probably read some." "Well, if I write you an email, don't be scared to write me back." "Let your old man know what you're thinking about, what's going on." " Yeah." " If you want, we could try Skyping" " once a week or something." " All right." "Yeah." "Okay." "You got the drawings for your science deal?" "Yeah, think so." "Well, they turned out great, by the way." "Really great." "Thanks." " What?" "Is your computer charged?" " Yeah." "What do you think is the first thing you're gonna do when you get home?" "I don't know." "I really cherish this communication we have." "You know, it's just..." " Your answers are so..." " What?" "Just keep practicing the piano." "You're really good." "They spend so much time at that school of yours..." "Music is something you'll use in life." "And don't forget to..." "You want those sesame things." " Yeah." " All right." "There you go." "Thank you." "Okay." "I'll probably make it over there in October." "I'll try to see you in that first recital." "And hopefully catch a soccer game while I'm there." "I might not even play soccer this year." "Oh, that'd be a big mistake." "Trust me." " I'm not that good." " Oh, no, you're pretty good." "You are." "I missed summer training camp." "The chances of me starting are miniscule." "Well, just tell the coach the situation." "Your dad lives in Europe." "You really wanted to be there." "You know, blame me." ""My parents stink, but I'm really serious."" "But I'm not serious, Dad." "I don't care that much." "Well, you don't have to decide right now." "You know, just think about it." "All I'm saying is that team sports are important, you know?" "Here we are." " I love this airport." " It's awesome." "It's cool, right?" "You excited about seeing your mom?" "Yeah, and all my friends." "Yeah." "What about your boarding pass, passport?" "You feel confident about making the connection?" " I did this before." " But not with a tricky connection like this." "Remember, when you land, you stay in your seat..." "Somebody from the airline is gonna take you to the gate, all right?" " It's not a problem." " Okay." "All right." "Oh, boy." "Well, looks like maybe we should just do this thing, huh?" "Okay, come here." "Oh, God." "I'm gonna do my best to make that recital, okay?" "You know, I wouldn't bother." " What makes you say that?" " I'm not being mean, but it'd be easier..." " If you didn't come to the recital." " How come?" "Be better if you visited on a "nothing" weekend." " But I wanna see you play." " It's because Mom hates you so much." "She'd be really stressed if you were there and then it'd be tense for me." " You know, go on." " Thank you." " We wouldn't have any time to hang out." " Don't worry." "We'll figure that out." "I just don't want you to worry about it, you know?" "I mean, you know how much I miss you, right?" "Why do you think she still hates me so much?" "I don't know." "I think she hates Daniel more than she hates you." " Right." " Don't worry." "I'll figure something out." " We should just do this thing." " Yeah." "Is there anything I can do to help?" " I don't know." " But you know I love you, right?" " Yeah, I know." " All right." "This has been the best summer of my life." " Really?" " Yeah." "Well, me too." "I told you this Greece thing was gonna be great." " And it was." " Okay." "All right." "I love you, pal." " Love you too, Dad." " Okay." "Okay, shake my hand." "All right." " Bye." " All right." "See you." "Okay." "Okay." "So, what's going on?" " They voted against it." " What?" "The wind turbines?" "Six months dealing with those people, everyone agreed it was great." "So, what happened?" "And now they've decided they don't like the way it looks on that hill." " No." "I thought it was a done deal." " It was." " That's what's so infuriating." " Can they do that?" " Of course, they've done it." " That's it." "It's over, finis." " I'm sorry." " No, no." "It's just so frustrating." "I can't take it anymore." "I'm gonna take that job with Remy." "No, no." "No, you don't wanna work for him." " Why not?" " For the government?" "This is different." "We need laws." "That's the only way anything is gonna happen." "Not the only way." "You have been getting good work done." "I've been thinking." "This is the way to go." "Let me remind you you do not like that guy." "You worked for him before." "You complained about him." "He gets things done." "That's how I'm gonna be." " Okay." " A real bitch, okay?" "Well, every time I look at that guy, all I see is ambition." "Sorry, I don't trust him." "He's going from nonprofit to government to have people kiss his ass." "I don't care about him." "And I think you're gonna be miserable." "Just with all the politicking and compromise." "I've made my decision." "I'm tired of being the dogooder that rolls a boulder up a hill and watches it roll down." "Isn't Remy the guy who used to throw his pens at his assistant?" "I should have taken this job a year ago." "I was scared of the amount of work, but I think it's the best opportunity." "And it's more money, and I'm doing it." "Okay." "Are you sure?" " No, I'm not sure of anything, okay?" " All right." "What's gonna happen to everyone if I leave?" "Like Francoise and..." "I mean, they count on me." "What do you think?" " Should I take it or not?" " I don't have an opinion." "I don't wanna see you rush into a decision because of this wind turbine." "Not just that." "It's been stirring in me all summer." " I know." " I should do it." " All right..." "Then do it." " I'm doing it." "I'm doing it." "All right?" "Oh, God." "I wish things were simpler." "If I leave, I get fucked, if I stay, I get fucked." "There's always a catch." " The world is fucked." " Yeah, maybe." "Oh, God." "We finally have a vacation and the girls are sick for two weeks." "I know." "I have the perfect son." "He lives a million miles away." "Or the love of your life can't clean up after himself or learn how to shave." "Who's that?" "I mean, you're not talking about Captain Cleanup." "Captain Cleanup." "The one that's been missing in action all these years." "What'd you expect at this point in your life, Missy?" "God." "Oh, look at them." "They're so cute." "They look like conjoined twins." "Oh, my God, I'm gonna take a picture." "Hey, did Ella finish that apple?" "The..." "Take food out of your child's mouth?" " Yeah." " Okay." "Well, it's all brown." "No, no, no, there's a spot here." "Ella, this is evidence of your father stealing food from you." "If you become bulimic or anorexic..." " Jesus." " It's not my fault." " Don't blame it all on your mother." " Ella, this is a family apple." "I'm teaching you the value of sharing." "I love you, honey." "So sweet." "You will remember this vacation different than we will." "That's for sure." "I see that with my mom." "She remembers my childhood different than I do." " Please, stop filming me." " Okay." "God." "I love your mom." "You're always so hard on her." "You missed the 'fucked up' years." "You're just getting the good era." "The 'fucked up' years." "That reminds me, talking about fucked up..." "Did I ever tell you the story of my little Cleopatra kitty?" " No." "No?" " I think you would remember if I did." "It's the story..." "You know, when I was a little girl, I had this cat named Cleopatra." "Every spring, she'd jump the fence, get pregnant..." "And always end up with a litter of exactly two kittens." " Two kitties?" " Two kitties." "Every time, every year, two cats." "I mean, it's just amazing." "Then one day, I was, like, around 30, and was having lunch with my dad..." "And I was remembering..." "Mentioning little Cleopatra..." "And he was like:" ""The hardest thing I ever had to do was to kill those cute little kittens."" "And I was like, "What?"" "It turns out..." "Listen to this." "There were sometimes up to seven kittens in that litter." "Oh, no." " He would take five of them..." " Oh, no." "Put them into a bag with a bunch of ether." "That's terrible." "That was like..." "He had forgotten the lie he and my mom had told me as a kid." " How did he decide which ones to kill?" " I asked him that." " "Did you take the fluffiest?" "Cutest?"." " Right." "You know?" "He just started to cry." "Poor Daddy." "We said we were gonna stop." "They wanted to see the ruins." "Should we?" "Well, Ella really wanted to." " Yeah, but should we wake them up?" " I don't know." "On our way back to the airport, we can catch them." " You know we won't." " Probably not." "Oh, God." "So long, ancient ruins." "What's so great about you anyway?" "Seen one, seen them all." "Oh, my God." "We are shitty parents." "We should have stopped." " It's okay." " It's culture." "Go back." " You gotta put character into these kids." " Yeah, yeah." "We're teaching them a valuable lesson." "If you snooze, you lose in this world." "And when the girls are in rehab..." "Recovering from 10 years of addiction to coke and speed..." "They'll say, "We never felt comfortable falling asleep." "Daddy used to tell us, 'You snooze, you lose."' And that'll be your fault again." " Yeah, well, we are shitty parents." " I know." "Saying goodbye to Hank sucked." "Why, was he upset?" "No, no." "He said it was the best summer of his life." "Well, that's great." "I mean, I wouldn't worry too much about him." "We spoke a bunch." " You know what his main concerns are?" " What?" "Pimples and how girls perceive him." "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." " What do you mean?" "I'm not like that." " Oh, please." " What?" " That's all you think about." " What?" " Women." "I mean..." "I'm not complaining, I'm getting a lot of attention." " But you never stop ogling girls, like,." " I don't ogle girls." "I don't ogle girls." "I make love to them with my eyes." "I like the Spanish guy." "Or is it Greek?" "I don't know where I'm from, but I'm very hairy." "Well, I think..." "You know, Henry might have, you know..." "What?" "With that little Melina girl." "I don't know." "He had a crush, but..." " Are you kidding?" " What?" "Why do you think he said it was the best summer of his life?" "Because he and I had a good time together?" " Jesse." " No, huh?" " So, what, you think they...?" " Of course." " They kissed?" " Yeah, they kissed." "Yeah, yeah." " I was sworn to secrecy, but he told me." " What did he say?" "I'm not supposed to tell you." "I'm not gonna talk." " Come on." " Okay." "He told me he was worried..." "You know, concerned about the kissing." "You know, tongue." "Her tongue." " What, he kissed her?" " Yeah." "But he was so cute, all nervous, all red, biting his cheek." "Like when he was little." " So he and Melina were a real thing?" " Yeah." "What's gonna happen now?" "I don't know." "They must be friends on Facebook." " Keep in touch for a while." " What if they end up..." "Spending their life together, you know?" "You're so corny." " Sometimes, I'm just like..." " No." " What are you, a 12 yearold girl?" " I'm just..." "First love, do you even remember who it was?" " Yeah, I do." "It was you." " Oh, please, like you were a virgin at 23." "You said first love, not first sexual experience." "Fine." "I'm the first woman you ever fell in love with?" " Yeah." " I don't think so." "First one I felt truly connected to, sure." "What, I wasn't your first love?" "No, of course not." "No, I just..." "I thought I was." " Jesse, stop this." "It's dumb." " It's okay." "Not a big deal." "No." "Okay, how old are you?" "Come on." "I'm 41 and I've loved only you." "You are so, so working on our little night already." "Hell, yeah." "I got a Trojan in my billfold, and a rocket in my pocket." "I'm stuck with an American teenager." "I can't believe it." "Do we have to do all that stuff later?" "What?" "Oh, yeah, come on." "It means a lot to Patrick." "Ariadni and Stefanos are already there prepping." " The kids wanted one more big time." " No." "No, no, but I meant the hotel later." "I just..." "I'm not sure I want to go..." "Hi, sweetie." "Yeah." "Oh, okay, okay, okay." "Well, it's fine." "It's fine." "Call me from London." "Have a good flight." "Bye." "They were telling them to turn everything off." "And I asked him to call me from the plane." "I don't like when he flies." "What?" " What is it?" " It's just..." "I don't know." "I don't know." "I don't..." "I just don't think I can keep doing this." "What?" "It's just every summer, every Christmas." "You know, it's like..." " It makes me ill every time." " It wouldn't be so bad..." "You know, like if we were sending him to boarding school or just..." "I don't know, if his mom and I got along a little bit better." "It's like we're sending him back across enemy lines." "It really hit me this time." "It's, like, he's gonna be a freshman in high school." "Four more years and he's gonna be on his own." " Maybe that's good." "Only four years." " This is the crucial time." "I just feel like I should be there for him." "Like it's now or never, you know?" "No." "What do you mean?" "I just thought somehow he'd end up living with us somewhere along the way." "You know, time's going by so fast." "And here we are, it's high school." "There's girls." "Next thing you know, it's college applications." "You're right, maybe it's time." "I mean, it's time to tell his mom all this and ask if he can come and live with us." "He'd love it." "We can put him in that bilin..." "That's never gonna happen, all right?" "She's never gonna give me one thing she's not legally obligated to." " You wanna call that lawyer again?" " No." "He's terrible." "Should I call his mother?" "No." "Please." "Never again." "Look, he doesn't even know how to throw a baseball." "Who cares?" "It's just..." "He leads with his elbow." "He throws like a girl." " It's not your fault." " No, it is my fault." " A father is supposed to teach you that." " He just doesn't like baseball." "It's an example." "It's a metaphor for everything." "He's turning 14, and he needs his father." "Jesse, I'm not moving to Chicago." "Did I ask you to?" "Where did that come from?" "I'm thinking out loud." "This is the one thing I promised myself I'd never do..." "And I look up and I'm doing it." "Well, listen, you're a wonderful father." "He loves the relationship you have." " He loves the letters." " He doesn't read the letters." " He reads them." "He doesn't compliment." " I know if I miss these years..." "They are never coming back." " Oh, my God." " What?" "This is where it ends." "What are you talking about?" " This is how people start breaking up." " My God." " You just jumped off a cliff." " No, I'm marking this." "This is the day you light the ticking bomb that will destroy our lives." " Yeah." " Okay." "First, you don't light a ticking bomb." "You set it." " It has a timer." "That's why it ticks." " Whatever." "Well, it's ticking right now." "This is how it happens." "You're unhappy, you blame it on the other person." " Resentment grows, you break up." " You're just doing this to shut me up." " Not at all." "No." " That's what you're doing." " I'm surprised we lasted this long." " The hyperbole." "We're on parallel tracks, but now the tracks have crossed." "I'm going west." "You're going east." "This is how it happens." "I've seen it." "Katherine and Alexander..." " You're kidding, right?" "You're kidding?" " Well, no." "I'm kidding." "And I'm not." "All right?" "I'm just..." " This is it." " How much longer to the ruins?" "Oh, they were closed." " Yeah." " We..." "Yeah." "We're gonna catch them on the way back when we're going to the airport." " Okay?" " Exactly." " We'll leave early, right?" "Yeah." " Yeah." "Yeah." "What happened to my apple?" "Your apple..." "Right?" " Give me the list." " I don't have it." "It's in your wallet." "In your wallet." " Okay." " Yeah." "Okay, I'm the general." " Who made you general?" " The general, okay?" "Private Cleanup." "You don't touch anything." "Nina!" "Ariadni." "You gotta do better than that." "No, no, no." "I got you." "Oh, where's my team?" "Where's my team?" "The red ones." "Okay." "Pepper." "I read both." "The first one is That Time, second is This Time." "First is This Time, second is That Time." "We've got a joke in our family that This brought us back together..." " And That paid for our apartment." " Okay." "It must be a little weird for Celine, the way she's in the book like that." "Why?" "She's gotten used to it." "Second one is sexy." "He misses the plane, they black out the windows..." "And they have sex for days and days and days like there's no tomorrow, whoa." "Did you guys actually do that?" " You did that?" " You read Jesse's third book?" "It's better than the first two." "Took longer to write than the first two put together." "Third one I didn't read." "My wife gave it to me, but it's too long for me." "The title is long." "What's the title?" "Temporary Cast Members of a Long Running But Little Seen Production..." " of a Play Called Fleeting." " Well, exactly, my point." "Everybody else thought it was too long." "Well, it's a better book." "It's so much more ambitious." "What's that?" "No, he says he likes all the books." "He does." "Well..." "I love it here." "This place is amazing." "Those tomatoes are so amazing." "I can..." "I can smell them." "It smells so good." "Yeah, Patrick is very proud of them." "I know it's stupid, but when we were about to leave Paris..." "I was nervous to come here." "Now we're about to leave, I don't wanna go." " Why were you nervous?" " Yeah, why was that?" "This place, it's so full of thousands of years of myth and tragedy." "Thought something was gonna happen." "You thought the minotaur was going to eat your children?" "Yes." "Exactly." "Well, I've been working on this idea..." "About a group of people with all these brain abnormalities." "So the book would be like a day in their life from all their unique points of view." "This older lady has a condition that makes you feel..." "Like you're in a state of déja vu." "Every single experience she has feels like she's had it before." "She could be sitting here, seemingly functional." "In her head, she's thinking, "Didn't he already say that?" "Weren't we were here yesterday having this exact same conversation?"" " Like déja vu." " Except all the time." "That's the thing, right?" "Everything she takes in." "Breakfast, a newspaper, a movie." "She's convinced she's encountered it already." " That's a real condition?" " Yeah, it's called persistent déja..." "It's real, but I can't pronounce it." "Then there's these two other characters with facial recognition extremes." "There's this one guy and he can't recognize his wife of 20 years." "He looks at himself in the mirror, and he feels this disconnect..." "With that man he's looking at." "Then the other character is the opposite." "A middle aged housewife..." "With exacting memory of every face she's ever seen." "She lives in a big city, but to her, it's a small town." "Like, a taxi drives past and she thinks:" ""That's the driver who dropped me off..." "At Place des Vosges three Christmases ago."" "Like some old lady walking on the street, she thinks:" ""She sat two seats down from me on the Metro last year."" "So everyone she meets, you know, to her, feels intimate and connected." "I'm like the first guy." "Like I feel connected to nothing most of the time, man." "Achilleas, Anna." "Hey, you guys." "Hey, look at this kid." "He's having the best summer of us all." "So you were saying there's three characters, right?" "Not just three." "It's a whole group of people." "I'm working on a chapter about a young Greek man named Achilleas." " Me?" " Well, he's named after you." "The guy is caught in a loop." "All he sees is the transient nature of everything." "He looks out at the sea, thinks it's gonna be dry and littered with fossils." "Well, I don't know." " What?" " Sounds pretentious." "It won't be pretentious." "It's gonna be funny." "Really funny." "Like, he picks up a book..." "And he wonders, "Who's gonna be the last person to read this?"" " And that's funny?" " Sometimes I kind of think like that." "Okay." "So he doesn't get excited about tits, cars, booze?" "Nothing." "He just thinks about death." "Well, not so much death, right?" "It's just like transformation." " Like he's seeing too far into the future." " Okay." "I like this idea for a novel." "Add a character of an old man who can't remember what he had for breakfast..." "But can still hear the song playing when Sheila Campbell danced topless..." "On the bar at Jury's when he was 14 years old." " That'd work." " Okay." "You have these people lost in time." "But what's the connection?" "Are they gonna have sex?" "Don't you need that?" "It's not time they're lost in." "It's perception." "That's the deal." "No, I'm thinking of setting the whole novel at a movie." "Like every character comes in contact with the film On the Waterfront." " Have you seen On the Waterfront?" " On the Waterfront?" " Oh, with Brando?" " Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "Okay, the first chapter is opening weekend, Times Square, 1954." "That old lady with perpetual déja vu walks into the matinee screening, right?" "Except the whole time she's thinking, "Haven't I already seen this?"" " Yeah." " Another chapter is a 1979..." "Paris film studies class." "Then we have a Kazan retrospective in Munich, 1993." " That is time." "How is that not time?" " Yeah, it's time." "But it's more perception." " You don't like it?" " I think it's gonna be too long." "Well, I like it." "Don't listen to him." "He makes bicycles." "Send it to me in galleys." "Will do." "Watch out." "In France, we stuff tomatoes with tomatoes and peppers with peppers." "We use the same for both because of the way it reacts differently in terms of taste." "Okay." "Celine, make sure you don't stuff them too much..." "Because of the way it overflows in the oven." " Okay." " Gets nasty." " You're doing fine, Celine." " And especially don't listen to Stefanos." "Because he's never made this dish before or any other dish for that matter." "You know?" "I mean..." "Let go." "Let go of me!" "Let go." "You guys are fighting." "With knives?" "Okay, stop it." "Stop fighting with knives." " We're not fighting." "We're negotiating." " Yeah." "Negotiating." "That's how you call it?" "It's a system that we have." "You found a system that works for you." "I thought it was a relationship." "I like system." "That's good." " Not too many, right?" " Not too many." "We used to have that system." "Not too far, you guys!" "I don't wanna let this meal go by without saying thank you to everyone." "And especially you, Patrick." "We had no idea what we were getting into these last six weeks." "A letter arrives from the university..." "Inviting us to the southern Peloponnese of Greece..." "To the guest house of a great writer?" "Sure, why not?" "And then at the airport earlier today..." "Hank says this has been the greatest summer of his life." " That's nice." " And I have to say the same." "Thank you, Patrick." "Not just for what you've done for me and my family..." "But for all the ways you're giving back." "To Patrick." "Thank you, thank you." "When I first saw you at the airport, I thought," ""No way a man dressed like that could be a man of letters."" "But now, now I think I've learned your secret." "We've had many great writers here over the past decade." "But never one who had a partner more interesting than themselves." "I keep telling you." "And Celine, it's been so great to have you..." "And your daughters' wonderful vitality around here." "And I'm so happy that you were able to meet my dear friend, Natalia." "Whose husband Elias was like a brother to me." " Sorry about the curtains." " Shouldn't have given cherries." " It was my fault." " So beautiful." "Thanks for including Anna and me this summer." "He usually puts me to work." "But when I bring Anna, he lets me sit at the table of the grownups." "Welcome to the grownups table." " How long have you two been together?" " Since last summer." "We met one year ago in my last few days here with Grandpa." " Before I had to go back to Athens." " We met at my cast party." "I was doing Shakespeare at Epidavros." " So who did you play?" " I was Perdita in Winter's Tale." "And she was fantastic." "Remember, Patrick, we went to that?" "Perdita." ""When you do dance, I wish you a wave 0' the sea..." "That you might ever do nothing but that."" "The way he just performed that was better than the guy at the play." "People are still talking about that." "The afterparty was even better." "It's where we met." "Yeah." "I had an old BSA motorcycle." " Nice." "Yeah." " So we drove around all night." "And then I had to drive her back to the theater to get her stuff." " And it was dawn." " I'll never forget it." "It's outdoors and seats 12,000 people, but it was now completely empty." "And she was sitting way up in the back row." "So I went up on stage and whispered to her..." "Acoustics there are incredible." "I could see his mouth move..." "And then three seconds later, I could hear his voice in my ear." "What did he say?" " Okay." " Private." "Private." "And then she had to fly back to Paris a couple of days later." " How did you keep in touch?" " We Skyped every day since then." "When we're apart, we have a thing of putting our laptop by the pillow..." "And fall asleep together." "Oh, that's the new romance." "And when I wake up, the screen is usually frozen." "And Anna's face is in some funny position, like:" "Let me ask..." "Can I ask a question?" " Please?" " Yeah." "When you guys Skype, do you, you know...?" " Do you go a little crazy?" " Oh, God, you're being so vulgar." "I'm just being an amateur anthropologist..." "Interested in virtual worlds on a theoretical level." " So now you're an anthropologist?" " Yeah." "For instance, the sex of the near future, I'm not making this up..." "But is gonna be just like plugging in, attaching something to your genitals..." "And you'll be having virtual intercourse with anyone of your choice." "You'll be able to program in all your preferences." "You'll be able to type in what you want Marilyn Monroe to whisper in your ear." "I might like that." " All right." "Come on." " Yes." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you." "Here, here." "I mean, why not?" "More and more of our experiences..." "Are going to take place in the virtual world, you know?" "You're a writer." "How are you gonna feel when a computer can write a book..." "Better than War and Peace?" "." "It'll never happen." "It's only a question about when it's going to happen." "I think I'm gonna feel about it the same way Kasparov felt when they could..." " No longer compete with that computer." " Big Blue." "Right." "Nobody thought a computer could beat our best." ""A machine lacks that ineffable human instinct."" "And then..." "You know, and now we can't even compete." "I saw a documentary where they were doing an experiment on a lab rat." "And he was wired up..." "And he could push a switch and have an orgasm." "And so the scientists were sort of laughing at this pathetic little creature..." "While it ignored his food and water and didn't do anything else." "And eventually it just died." "I mean, I think that's the future of humanity." "You know, just," "And die." "Well, well, maybe so..." "But every generation believes that they're witnessing the end of the world..." "But I feel that I'm actually living it." "Okay, I have a question for you, Patrick." "I think a lot of people are feeling that way." "That we're this kind of pleasureobsessed, pornaddled... materialists, ceding our humanity to technology..." "At the same moment that computers are becoming sentient." "So, what my question is, is this notion of self to begin with." "Well, it's written over the portals to the temple of Apollo at Delphi." "It says, "gnothi seauton," which means "Know thyself."" "But we're kind of 99 percent automated already." "No." "Our personality or this thing we think of as ourself..." "Is a tiny fraction of what the brain is doing." "Most of it is automated body functions." "What is it we're ceding?" "No, if this notion of self is such a small percentage of you, sweetie..." "How come I always hear so much about it?" "Well, just like my penis." "It's not that big." "It's a small part of myself..." " But it needs a lot of attention." " His too." "And how did you two meet?" " You don't know?" " What?" "You have to read Jesse's books." "If you wanna know what it's like to have sex with me, read away." " Read away." " Oh, excuse me, Stefanos." "No, no." "I mean it's well written." " Yeah." "Thank you." " We met about 18 years ago." "We kind of, sort of fell in love a little bit, and then we..." "A bit." "Then we lost track of each other." "A decade later, we ran into each other." " We didn't run into each other." " We didn't?" "No." "You wrote a book "inspired" by our meeting." " Yeah." " I read about it and went to look for him." " Pretty romantic." " It was." "Not really." "Not really." "He neglects to mention..." " He was married, had a kid..." " Details." "That part was a disaster." " It wasn't." "It was inevitable." " Yeah." "The first time we have sex without a condom, twins." " I've been chained to the sink ever since." " One pitch, two run homer." "It's not that bad." "The girls are so beautiful." "They're cute." "Okay." "No, no." "It has some upsides, okay." "Let me tell you right now, Anna, how to keep a man." "You gotta let them win at all the silly little games they like." "When I met Jesse, we were playing pinball." "I was winning." "The foundational lie to our relationship." " I let the ball go down the middle." " She can't beat me." "It builds their confidence." "If I didn't let him win at every game, we would never have sex." "I mean, I'm sorry to say it, but he's actually a closet macho." "He dreams of having a bimbo for a wife." " It's my greatest aspiration, a bimbo." " Dreams." "So..." "Yes." "So you're a writer?" "Yeah." "Yeah, sure." "So you write, like, books?" "I've written a few, sure." "Sure, yeah." "I've never met a writer before." " No?" " You must be really smart." "You know, I can't even write my own name sometimes when I'm tired." "What kind of books do you like?" "Well, I like stories with a meaning behind it." " Like a really beautiful love story." " Oh, sure, yeah." "You know, I read this book once, Romeo and..." "Juliet." " Right?" " Yeah." " Oh, yeah." " You know it." "It's very good." "It's a play, actually." "It's not a book, a play." "I thought it was a book based on the movie." "No." "No, a play." "Yeah." "Okay, it was a play." "Well, I didn't read the whole thing because sometimes..." "I have to keep up and read those magazines..." "To know what's going on in those people's lives." " Well, that is important." " Okay, well, you're very, very smart." "And I bet you have a gigantic penis." "Why am I finding myself so attracted to this woman?" "For real!" "And that's the funny part of it." "The 'notsofunny' part of the closet macho, okay..." "Is today, after we dropped Henry off, he tells me even though I have an offer..." "For an amazing job, he wants me to move to Chicago." " That's not what I said." "I missed him." " So we can babysit for his ex-wife." " I thought I was in a..." " Hey, stop it." "It must have been hard saying goodbye to Hank." " Yeah, of course." " He's such an amazing kid." " Tell him I miss my chess partner." " I will." "When Stefanos and I split up, I'm getting full custody." "That's okay for a while..." "Because me and my 20yearold girlfriend will be a little bit preoccupied." " I love men." " And I love you." "Okay, I have a story that my husband here loves." "Gonna tell you everything you need to know about masculine and feminine." " Okay." " Okay, ready?" " Yeah." " My mom used to be a nurse..." "So she was there when people were coming out of their coma." " Listen." " I'm listening." " It's an interesting story." " I'm listening." "So she was the one to tell them:" ""Hi." "My name's Katerina." "You're coming out of a coma." "You've been in a really bad automobile accident..." "But you're gonna be okay." "You're gonna be fine." You know, stuff like that." "She said that every woman, the very first thing..." "The first reaction she would have, would be to ask about everyone else." ""How are my kids?" "How's my husband?" "Is anyone else hurt?"" "Every man, with no exception, when they were told this..." "What was the first thing they did?" "Look down at their cock." "You know what?" "You gotta make sure it's still there." "You gotta make sure it's still working." " Alive and kicking." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "And only eventually they'd come around to asking about their kids..." "Or about someone else they might've accidentally killed." "Stuff like that." "Doesn't that say it all?" "Penis first, then the rest of the world." "Penis, penis, penis." "Okay, okay." "But if you can explain it all on strictly gender terms..." "Why do you, or why does any woman, waste time getting mad at..." " Or bother trying to change a man?" " If it's all biology, what is the problem?" "And you're so good at turning things around." " No, I mean, like, he's a genius." " It's like getting pissed at a frog..." " For being green." " Yes." "Exactly." "Hearing all this, I wonder if this idea of love affair that lasts forever..." "Is still relevant to us." "I mean, we know that we are going to break up eventually." " Definitely." " Are your parents still together?" " No way." " No?" "And what about you?" " They are." "But they could be divorced." " They could be." "I think if they had more money, they wouldn't still be together." "God, you guys are so practical." "I was born into the wrong generation." "My grandmother's mother wrote to our whole family..." "A 26 page letter from her deathbed." "And she spent three pages on the costumes she did for a play..." " And only one paragraph on her husband." " She an actress too?" "No, she was a..." "She was a..." " Seamstress." "A seamstress." " Seamstress." "And she had all these wonderful friends." "And about my great-grandfather, she mentioned three events." "He went to the war, we moved because of his job, and he died." "Her big advice was to not to be too consumed with romantic love." "Friendships and work, she said, brought her the most happiness." "I couldn't agree more." "I mean, that's the thing that fucks us up." "This idea of a soul mate, of someone who will come to complete us..." "And save us from having to take care of ourselves." "With Stefanos, I set the bar extremely low." "I know he's not gonna meet any of my needs." "Definitely not." "What about Grandma?" "Was she soul mate?" "Well, sounds appealing, but actually your grandmother was more rational than that." "She took care of herself and asked me to do the same." "We had plenty of room to meet in the middle." " Yeah." "That sounds ideal." " That is, actually." "It is." "But it must be obvious my wife is not here today." "We were never one person." "Always two." "We preferred it that way." "That's so beautiful." "I think my husband is always trying to almost colonize me, you know?" "I colonize you?" " Yes, but I colonize you too, darling." " Okay." "But at the end of the day..." "It's not the love of one other person that matters, it's the love of life." "That's good to know, because life, I can handle." "Ariadni, on the other hand." "We all know the Greeks invented tragedy." "And on top of that, she's from the region of Mani..." "Which is short for maniac." "Ask them about the hotel." "If we can't make that hotel room tonight, could you get a refund or use it yourself?" " No, we don't get a refund, man." " Are you trying to get out of it?" "It's such a great gift, but I'm so stressed..." " Getting all the packing ready..." " No." "We made a deal, guys." "We watch the kids." "You're gonna love it." " We're gonna watch yours." " Really good." "It's a fantastic walk to the hotel." "And you want to grab it." "And we'll be very offended if you don't go." "Okay." "Thank you." "You're going." "Well, when I think of Elias..." "What I miss the most about him..." "Is the way he used to lie down next to me at night." "Sometimes his arm would stretch along my chest." "And I couldn't move." "I even held my breath." "But I felt safe." "Complete." "And I miss the way he was whistling walking down the street." "And every time I do something, I think of what he would say:" ""It's cold today." "Wear a scarf."" "But lately, I've been forgetting little things." "He's sort of fading, and I'm starting to forget him..." "And it's like losing him again." "So sometimes, I make myself remember every detail of his face." "The exact color of his eyes, his lips, his teeth..." "The texture of his skin, his hair." "That was all gone by the time he went." "And sometimes..." "Not always." "But sometimes..." "I can actually see him." "It's as if a cloud moves away and there he is." "I could almost touch him." "But then the real world rushes in, and he vanishes again." "For a while, I did this every morning..." "When the sun was not too bright outside." "The sun somehow makes him vanish." "Yes, he appears and he disappears, like a sunrise or sunset." "Anything so ephemeral." "Just like our life." "We appear and we disappear." "And we are so important to some..." "But we are just passing through." " To passing through." " To passing through." " To passing through." " To passing through." "And eventually he catches his face in the window's reflection." "He realizes he's no longer a 9 yearold boy." "He's suddenly old." "He's got a beard, his eyes are watery." "This one seems sad." "I thought you were gonna tell me about the guy..." " That has an imaginary friend." " Which one?" "When he's in his 50's." " Imaginary friend shows up again." " Hummingbird?" " That one." "It's funny." " Yeah." "You like that one?" "Remember that letter that you let me read..." "That you wrote when you were 20 to yourself at 40?" "I remember. "Dear 40yearold Jesse, I hope you're not divorced."" "I didn't remember that part." "I meant all the other things in that letter." "You're the same guy." "We always think we're evolving, but we can't change that much." " Know how I think I've changed the most?" " How?" "When I was younger, I just wanted time to speed up." " Why?" " So I could be on my own..." "Be freed from parents, school, all that shit." "I just wanted to close my eyes and wake up and be an adult." "Now I feel that happened, and I just want everything to slow down." "I've always had this feeling no matter where I am in my life..." " That it's either a memory or a dream." " You've always thought that." "Me too." "Like, is this really my life?" "Like, is it happening right now?" "It is." "I know." "Every year, I seem to get a bit more humbled and more overwhelmed..." "About things I'm never gonna know or understand." " I keep telling you, you know nothing." " I know." "I'm coming around." "But not knowing is not so bad." "I mean, the point is to be looking, searching, to stay hungry, right?" "It's true." "I just wish it was a little easier." "How do you mean?" "Just to maintain a certain level of passion, you know?" "I mean, it used to come so naturally." "I remember when I was younger, me and all my writer friends, we, like..." "It felt like we were doing something important." "This was our time." "But you were all arrogant little pricks." "No." "Well..." "All right, maybe." "I don't know." "It grew out of all this energy and this creativity..." "Or whatever ambitions people had." "I think you gotta be a little deluded to stay motivated." "Young men have this thing about comparing themselves." "They have all these signposts they judge themself by." " You used to do that all the time." " Do what?" "It was like "Rimbaud wrote this by 17 ."" "Oh, yeah, definitely." "Balzac wrote a book before breakfast, so, what am I doing?" " Women don't think that way as much." " You don't think so?" "No." "We have much less to compare ourselves to maybe." "Women who achieve anything, first time you hear about them, they're in their 50s." "It was so hard for them to get any recognitions before then." "They struggled for 30 years or they raised kids..." "And were stranded at home before they could finally do what they want." "Actually, you know, it's kind of freeing." "We don't have to spend our lives..." "Comparing ourselves to Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Tolstoy." "What about Joan of Arc, right?" "I mean, she was a teenager, and she saved France, so..." "Who wants to be Joan of Arc?" "Forget France." "She was burned at the stake and a virgin, okay?" " Okay." " Nothing I aspire to." "What a great achievement." " Oh, God." " What?" "No, nothing." " What?" " This is so weird." " What do you mean?" " Just this." "Us, walking, having a conversation..." "About something else than scheduling, food, work." "Yeah, how long's it been since we just wandered around bullshitting?" "Do you hear what I hear?" "The sea?" "No." "What?" "Oh, no small feet." "No..." "Nothing being knocked over, nothing we have to clean up..." "No injustices being done." "Yeah." "So when was the last time?" " When we had nowhere we had to be?" " Yeah." " Remember Luxembourg Gardens?" " Yeah." " Used to kick your ass at PingPong?" " Congratulations." "You beat a woman pregnant with twins." "It's better than losing to a pregnant woman with twins." " Okay?" " Oh, God." "You know what I think?" "From the time we leave our parents' house until we have kids." "That's the only time your life is completely your own." "I had about a decade of that." "It was great." "It was just like one long flowing..." "A day, a week, a year." " There wasn't much difference." " I used to keep track of time." "Through jobs, boyfriends, stuff like that." "Now I can tell you every detail..." "Of the past seven years based on what was happening in the girls' lives." " Yeah, right." "Totally." " You do that too?" " Yeah." "I mean, time's demarcated now." " Really?" " What?" " No, no, no." "No, I just..." "I'm surprised." "I'm surprised you do that." "No, but..." "Okay, quick test." " Oh, no." " You know, August, 2009." " No, August..." " Come on." "It's a quick one." "Why?" " What was happening?" " August..." "We were on vacation with your parents." "Nina got the chicken pox first, quickly followed by Ella." " I'm so impressed." " So do I get a gold star?" "Maybe." " Hey, can I ask you a question?" " Sure." "If we were meeting for the first time today on a train, would you find me attractive?" " Of course." " No, but really, right now, as I am?" "Would you start talking to me?" "Would you ask me to get off the train with you?" "Well, I mean, you're asking a theoretical question." "What would my life situation be?" "Wouldn't I be cheating on you?" " Why can't you just say yes?" " I did." "I wanted you to say something romantic and you blew it." "Okay, all right, wait, if I saw you on a train..." "I would lock eyes with you, walk up to you..." "And say, "Hey, baby." "You are making me as horny as a billy goat in a pepper patch."" "Stop it!" "That's disgusting!" "Billy goat?" "No." "The truth is, okay, you failed the test." "The fact is, you would not pick me up on a train." "Would not notice a fatassed middle aged mom..." " Losing her hair." " Okay." "Losing..." "Yeah, that's me." "You set me up to fail on this one." " Okay, true, true, true." " You did." "All right." "But in the real world, baldy, okay, on game day when it mattered..." "I did talk to you on a train, okay?" "I did." "It was the best thing I ever did." " Really?" "Look at the goats." " Hey." " Hello." " Yeah." "But, you know, that's not even a good question." "The real question would be, if I did ask you to get off a train..." " Yeah?" " would you get off with me?" "Of course not." "I have people waiting for me." "You know, and a 41 year old, horny billy goat." "How creepy." "I'm creeped out right now." "Help!" "I can't believe I'm 41." "Yeah, me neither." "You've gotten so old." "I never thought I'd sleep with anyone over 40." "Actually, you're the oldest guy I've ever slept with." "That's something." "I'm not the oldest guy you've ever blown." "What?" "That conference in Warsaw." " What conference?" " Lech Walesa." "Lech Walesa?" " What are you talking about?" " It's okay." "It was before we were together." "It's..." "You can admit it." "I can remember the way you talked about how he opened your heart." " You definitely blew him." "Definitely." " Oh, okay." "You're really crazy." "That was Gorbachev, okay, you geographically challenged..." "Football obsessed, doughnut loving American." "That was Gorbachev." "I got my Eastern bloc leaders mixed up." "And I didn't blow him." " At all." "Okay?" "Take it back." " Okay, okay, okay." "God." "So was it Vaclav Havel?" "All right, you know..." "Listen to this." "I was gonna wait to tell you this till later..." "But I'm so bad with secrets." "You have a tumor in your brain?" "Gonna die?" "No, no, no." "Nothing like that." "All right?" "Well, actually, it's kind of like that." "My grandmother died." " What?" "When?" " Yeah." "My dad texted me before we ate." "I'm so sorry." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Everybody's been expecting it." "She lived a long time, had a great life." "She was 96." "Didn't live much longer after your grandfather died?" "Barely a year." "I mean, the funny thing is, this woman was a freaking saint." "Okay?" "She was a nurse in the war." "She took care of all of us." "I mean, she never said an unkind word about anybody." " I wish I'd met her." " It's okay." "It's okay." "By the end, she just really wasn't into meeting new people." "I mean, after a lifetime of being sweet as pie..." "Once Grandpa died, she got kind of ornery." "It happens." "She was in mourning, no?" "Well, my dad said she was just waiting to die." " How long were they married?" " Seventy four years." "Fuck." "How is that even possible?" "I know." "How old will we be if we are together 74 years?" "When would we start counting from?" " I guess from the first time we had sex." " Okay." "Yeah, good." " Okay." " So 1994." "Okay, '94." " Fifty six years from now." " Yeah." "We will be 98." "Will you be able to put up with me for another 56 more years?" "I don't know if I'm gonna be able to put up with you." "It's crazy if you think about the change they saw." "When they met, neither of them had electricity." "He used to take her to school on his horse." " So romantic." " I know." "He was Valedictorian and she was salutatorian." "What is that?" "He was top of the class." "She was second." "She got a couple answers wrong to make sure he didn't feel threatened." " If she wanted to get laid, she better have." " Yeah, like you know who." "Anyway, so I called my dad after I got the text, just to tell him I was sorry..." "But I think I screwed up." "At some point I told him, "You're an orphan now."" "You know, and he didn't think that was funny." " No, it's not funny at all." " Yeah, I guess not." " He's next, then you." " I know." "Well, he told me that my grandparents wanna have a joint service." "Right?" "They wanna have their ashes intermingled and be buried as one." "Grandfather didn't have a funeral?" "They vowed never to attend one another's funeral." "Oh, yeah." "I kind of like the idea of you attending mine." " What?" " No, I know." " What?" " You know, imagining you in a suit..." "Clean shaven for once, holding hands with the girls." "I like it." "You're gonna outlive me." "Well, we'll see." "Or I guess, one of us will see." "Well, you think you wanna go to the service with me?" " To Texas?" " It's not gonna be in Paris." "Okay." "How bad do you want me there?" "I'd come, but it's expensive with the flights." "Truth is, it'd be simpler to go alone." " Oh, hello." " Yeah, hello, buddy." "And if I'm not there, it'll be easier for you to fuck your cousins." " Yes, that's true." " Yeah." "Isn't that common where you come from?" " You didn't answer the question." " What question?" "Well, will you be able to put up with me for another 56 more years?" "I am looking forward to it." "Shit, you're really working it." "The nectar of your sex ages like a fine wine." "My hairy Spanish lover is back." " Greek." "I'm Greek now." " Oh, you're Greek now." "Look at this." "This place reminds me of a movie I saw when I was a teenager." "It was a black and white film from the '50s." "I remember a couple walking through the ruins of Pompeii..." "Looking at bodies lying there for centuries." "I remember the bodies, caught in their sleep..." "Still lovingly holding each other." "I don't know why." "Sometimes I have this image in my mind..." "When, you know, we're asleep and you hold me." "Of being buried alive under molten ash?" "That's what you're thinking about?" "That's not very fun." "Well, I don't know." "It's not horrible." "They had bodies with little kids sleeping between them." " Oh, that's nice." " Yeah." "I was young and a bit morbid." "You romanticize the idea of dying with the person you love." " You wanna die with me?" " Right?" "Maybe." "You know, if we were..." "You know, our first night together then, a long time ago..." "But now, no, I'd like to live." "I wanted you to say something romantic." "You blew it." "Oh, no." "I blew it." "Okay, if we're both 98, you can ask me again." "But anytime sooner:" " Sorry." " Hey." "This is the chapel I was telling you about from the Byzantine era." " It's 1000 years old." " Can we go in?" " Yeah, I think so." " Okay." "Check this out." "Hello?" "Yeah." "It's a shrine to Saint Odilia, the patron saint to eyesight." "People come from all over, leave dedications to the blind..." "To help restore sight." "I'm sure it works." "Hey, these paintings here..." "They make me think of those Japanese monks, you know, impermanence." "They paint with water on rock on a hot day." "By the time they're done, it's evaporated." "Eyes are scratched out." "Is that about the blindness?" "No, I thought that too, but the caretaker guy..." "He told me that the Turks did that during the occupation." "That's it." "I'm never eating Turkish food again." "Okay, that'll send a shiver through the international community." "Okay, fine." "Then I'll never suck another Turkish cock." "Okay, that's gonna have a global impact." "Oh, that's terrible." "I forgot you're a closet Christian." "Is it bad to make blow job jokes in church?" "It kind of is, okay?" "We've done worse." "The girls asked me again what our wedding was like." "Yeah?" "What did you say?" " I say it was very low key." " Yeah." "Very low key." "So low key we don't remember it." "Very Quaker." "I don't know why they want us to be married so badly." "It's important to them." " We're in a church." " Wanna get married?" "No." "It's just all those fairy tales they like so much, you know?" "Remember when they were little..." "And at the end of every cartoon, they'd be like, "They're getting married"..." "Even if it was Pinocchio and his dad, Donald Duck and his nephews." "If we're gonna spend 56 more years together..." " Yeah?" " what about me would you change?" " What?" " One of your 'can't win' questions." " I'm not answering that." " What do you mean?" "There's not one thing you'd like to change about me?" " I'm perfect?" "Okay." " Okay, actually..." " One thing." " If I could change one thing about you..." "It would be for you to stop trying to change me." "You're a very skilled manipulator." "Well, I am on to you." "I know how you work." " You think?" " I know everything about you." " Let's go through here." " I don't think you do." "No?" "Okay." "Well, I know you better than I know anybody else on the planet." " But maybe that's not saying much." " Right now..." " What?" " this is great." "I feel close to you." " Yeah." " But sometimes..." "I feel like you're breathing helium and I'm breathing oxygen." "What makes you say that?" " See?" "I'm trying to connect..." " I'm being myself." "And you make a joke." " That's exactly what I'm talking about." " Come on." "If we're ever gonna truly know one another..." "We'd probably have to get to know ourselves better first." "Yeah." "Do you remember this friend of mine, George, from New York?" "No." " Oh, no, that was before." " What was?" "No, no." "Anyway, he was this friend of mine..." "That when he found out he had leukemia and was probably gonna die..." "The first thing that came to his mind was relief." " Relief?" "At what?" " Yeah." "Before he found out he had nine months to live, he was worried about money." "And now his thought was, "I have enough money to live nine months." "I've made it."" " Oh, okay." " I mean..." "He was finally able to enjoy everything about life, even being stuck in traffic." "He would just enjoy looking at people, staring at their faces, just little things." "And then what happened?" "What do you mean?" "Well, like, is he still alive?" "No, he died a long time ago." "Last night, I had this dream where I was reading a book." "Okay." "It was a lost classic." "The Rovers." " The Rovers?" " Like roving around, wandering." " All these young people." " Is that a real book?" "No, but it was great." "It was fresh, funny, experimental, had all this energy." " I love that you read in your dreams." " And they're really good." "I have, like, major action hero dreams." "Like I'm flying around like a superhero, breaking through walls." "And at the end, I have an orgasm." "Well, I'm gonna try to make your dreams come true, baby." "Still there." "Still there." "Still there." "Still there." "Gone." "I need your credit card." "I think the room is paid for." "Yeah." "Yes, it is, but the credit card is for..." " For all possible outcomes." " Incidentals." "Right." "Of course." " Mr. Wallace?" " Yeah." "I am such a fan of these two books." "My husband gave me your book on our date..." "And when your second book came out, we read it out loud together." " Would you please sign them to us?" " Of course." "Of course." "I love the artwork on these Greek editions." "It's really nice." " What are your names?" " Make it to Sophia and Pavlos." "Okay." "How's the Greek translation?" "Well, it's called:" " But I'm not sure it's the correct word." " You never read them in English." "Exactly." "That's great." "Could you sign them too?" " Me?" " Yes, you're the real Madeleine, right?" "Madeleine?" "Not really." "I mean, people assume it's me, but it's not me at all." "He's got a big imagination." "Would you be so kind?" "It would mean so much to my husband." " I can't sign a book I didn't write." "It..." " She'd be happy to." " Okay." " Great." "Thank you." "I'm happy to." "Thank you." " Okay." " Great." "Thank you so much." "Check it out." " This is nice." " Yeah." "Clean, air conditioning." " I love it." "Oh, my God." " Isn't it great?" "A bathtub." "My God." "Hey, check this out." "Stefanos and Ariadni got us a bottle of wine and a couple's massage." "We have to get them a present before we leave." " We should get something for the kids." " Yeah, I know, for sure." "Oh, I miss the girls." "I don't." "This is such a nice view." "The only view that I am interested in..." " What?" "What?" " Is right here." "Yeah." "It's this." "What?" "It's funny, I never noticed until today, but all the red in your beard is gone." "It used to be one of the things that made me fall for you." "It's crazy." "It's not gone." "It's just white." "You're not gonna tell me that your love is dependent on pigment, are you?" " Huh?" "No?" " No, no, but, you know..." "I see the red in our girls' eye lashes." "I look at them and it makes me think of when we met." "Know what I'm looking forward to..." " Yeah?" "What?" " after..." " After?" " you know?" " What?" " Is waking up next to you tomorrow." "You mean, without Nina and Ella jumping on our heads?" "Exactly." "I haven't heard you think in years now." " Think?" " Yeah." "I used to wake up to that sound of your eyes opening and closing." "That brain of yours going 2 million miles an hour." "I miss it, hearing you think." "When you said you could hear me think, I thought you could." "But it's just my eyelids." "How dumb and romantic of me." "It was my favorite thing." "I miss thinking too." "No more thinking in the morning, no more morning sex." "Tomorrow." "I'm looking forward to it so much, I don't think I will sleep." "I'm looking forward to right now." "Okay." "Okay, let's stop talking so we can fuck..." "Sleep, wake up, think, and fuck again." " Don't answer it." " No." "Oh, shit, who is it?" "No." " Who cares?" " Okay." "I said to call in case of emergency only." "I hope the girls are okay." "Okay." "Oh, it's Henry." "Okay." "Hey, sweetie, are you okay?" "Are you in London?" "Already?" "Okay." "Oh, no, no, we found it." "We'll mail it tomorrow." "Don't worry." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah." "Oh, they miss you too." "I'll kiss them for you." "Yeah." "Okay, I'll tell him." "Good luck with your mom." "Yeah." "I love you too." "Bye." "Okay." "Okay." "He's fine." "He says he'll call you from Chicago when he lands." "Why can't I talk to him?" "Twice you've done that." "You could have just handed me the phone." "He didn't have time." "They were boarding." "What did he forget?" "His science project." "But we'll mail it tomorrow." "It'll be fine." "Shouldn't have said that about his mom." " What?" "What did I say?" " "Good luck with your mom."" " Come on." " I didn't mean anything by it." "I know, but it's not good." "It reminds him." "And I wish you wouldn't do that." "That's so American to just swipe it under the carpet and act as if it didn't happen." "Why put it into his head?" "What if he doesn't wanna be thinking about that right now?" " It means nothing." " It means something." "It does." "I made a joke the other day..." "That his mom and I should settle it in one big mud wrestling contest." " Mud wrestling?" "You said that?" " And he laughed." "He might have more of a sense of humor than you do." "Come on." "You say bad things about his morn, he hears bad things about himself." "I didn't say anything bad about his mom." "I made a joke." "It's on me as it is on her." "I know, I know." "It's just, why conjure it up at all, you know?" "I think he's old enough now." "I mean, he knows how bad it is between his mother and I." " His mom and me." " And I didn't do anything." "It's all from her." "Okay, she hates me." "Yes, I fucked her husband a long time ago." "Or should I say he fucked me?" " Yeah, right." " Okay." "Making a joke that his mom and I don't love each other is not the issue." "That's not gonna traumatize him." "That already happened." "And now you're trying to transfer your guilt and blame me." "No, I'm not." "On the contrary, if he can joke about it, maybe he'll be able to live with it better." "Okay, you're right, as always." "Let's just not talk about it, okay?" "Right." "It's nobody's fault if his mom is a drunk and abusive psychologically." "Don't say that." "It makes me sick that he has to be with her." "But judges assume that women have the mother instinct." "She has the mother instinct of Medea." "Medea, huh?" "Yeah." "After all, it is a Greek myth." "Actually a play by Euripides, but..." "A woman killing her kids to punish her ex-husband." "That's what she's doing." "Hurting him to get to you." "No, she's making my life hell through him, that's what she's doing." "And sometimes you say things that just go too far." "Stop blaming me for everything wrong with your wife." "Ex-wife, ex-wife for a long time." "You should have dealt with it." "She wouldn't have hated us." "Okay, okay, I screwed up." "I just love this little rewrite you do..." "That everything that isn't perfect in our life gets laid at my feet." "And now you're putting this shit on me about Henry." "What shit?" "What are you talking about?" "Let me tell you what I'm talking about." "The moving to Chicago, giving up my life." "You mentioned that Henry needs you." "How do you think that makes me feel?" "I'm miserable." "All right?" " How can I take that job now?" " Okay." " Tell me." "I'll feel too guilty." " No, no, no." "Come here." "That's a choice you're making, to look at it like that." "All right?" "It is in the nature of women to be the nurturer." " The what?" " The nurturer." " The nurturer?" " Okay, I can't even say that fucking word." "I just naturally feel bad about everything." "And you give me that look, like it's my fault." " What look?" " The 'Iforgotthescienceproject' look." " I know you blame me." " I didn't say anything." "No, you didn't say anything." "You didn't have to." "It's always my fault." "Yeah, right." "I read on the fridge at work..." "You know those magnet words that people make sentences with?" "Someone had put together, "Women explore for eternity..." "In the vast garden of sacrifice."" " That's a sure sign from God." " Yeah." "That line is so damn true, and it's been for 10,000 years, but that's enough." "I don't wanna be one of these women." "Like marriage is important to gays, or contraception to women rights." "It's the same with giving up my hopes, with women that had to give up hopes." "I'm not gonna do it." "This is bigger than me." "This means more than me." "Bravo." "The Nobel Committee is taking note." "I'm just..." "Hold on a second." "I'm gonna alert Sweden." "It must be a fulltime job carrying that much feminine oppression." " It is." " You suffered so much..." "Growing up in middle class Paris." "The agony in the trenches of the Sorbonne in the post-feminist era..." " I can't imagine." " You're an asshole." "You know what, sweetie, when are we moving to Chicago?" "I wanna make sure we are able to find a nice house..." "And I can sew the drapes and pick matching bed covers." "This is how you now want to be spending this evening?" " This is what you wanna do?" " You started it." "No, you are the one who will not shut up about it." "But if you wanna talk about it, really talk about it..." "I would prefer to have an unemotional, rational conversation." "Do you think we could do that?" "Here we go, unemotional, rational." "You always play the part of the one and only rational one." "And I'm the irrational, hysterical, hormone crazy one..." "Because I have emotions." "You sit back and speak from your big perspective..." "Which means everything you say is true." "I don't always do anything." "The world is fucked by unemotional, rational men deciding shit." "Politicians going to war, corporate heads deciding to wreck the environment." "Cheney, Rumsfeld, very rational men." "Cheney and Rumsfeld, yeah, okay." "The Final Solution, very rational thinking behind that." "Okay." "So we're there now?" "Us versus the Final Solution?" "Okay." "Let's do it." "All right." "Let me ask you this, all right?" "Do you think Henry's life would be helped..." "By a more consistent presence by you and me?" " Here we go." " No." "You won't drop it, so let's talk." "Let me just ask you one question." "Think Hank's life would be better served..." "By consistent presence from you and me?" " Yes, it'd be better if he lived with us." " Okay." "I think his mom is a fucking alcoholic, hateful cunt..." "That used the time we were in Paris and I was giving birth..." "To legally move Henry out of New York." "Fuck her." "Okay." "I agree with you." "Okay." "Unfortunately, we cannot go get him out of America..." "But we could, if we wanted to, go to him." "Now, I know it would be a big move." "But what do you think?" "Is there any way that you could be happy in the U.S.?" "Is that just out of the realm of possibility?" "That you could find a comparable job?" " Comparable job?" " Yeah." " Are you kidding?" " No." "Why am I the one that have to make the compromises?" " Don't be so dramatic." "Okay?" " It should be..." "Moving to Chicago is pretty fucking dramatic for me." "I'm not saying we should move." "I just wanna talk about it." "Can you be my friend for two seconds so we can talk?" " Two seconds." " All right." "Remember that time you were late to pick the girls up..." "And you were so stressed out because they were wondering what happened?" "Okay, that is the way that I feel all the time." "Like I fucked up." "I mean, I left him behind and I just wanna go get him." "You always get like this when you drop him off." "You're sad, so you start a fight." "He's fine." "He's a great kid, okay?" "Truth is, he doesn't need you the way he used to." "You missed the opportunity to be with him every day of his childhood." "You did." "And you can cry about it, but he's growing up." "You're a great father in other ways." "You got divorced like millions of other people." "Was it ideal?" "No." "But..." "Listen, if in one month you still want me to quit my job..." "And give up everything I've been working towards, just ask..." "But right now I feel the same way I always have." "I would move to the U.S. if that ex-wife of yours would give us joint custody." "But every other weekend amounts to shit." "That's less than 30 days a semester." "I don't think it's worth it for us to change our entire lives over that kind of time." " I know." "You're right." " Right?" "Right?" "See, I'm being the rational one." "Oh, it's just such a shitty position, you know?" "Hank didn't do anything, but he's the one getting kicked in the teeth." "We all get dragged through our parents' lives." "Your marriage would have ended over something else." " Absolutely." " Or worse, he would've been raised..." " By two miserable parents." " Right." "I just really fucked that up." "You mean, you fucked up by moving to Paris to be with me?" " No." "That's not what I meant." "Stop." " I knew that was gonna cost too much." " I told you not to do it, okay?" " Stop it." "Okay, I moved to New York with you for two years and gave up everything." "I needed to be home to give birth to the twins..." "And I wanted to be with my mother." "You wanted it too." "Yes." "That's the one thing I asked from you." "The one thing and now you're gonna blame me forever?" "Stop it, will you?" "Stop it." "If you don't wanna move back to the States, we won't." "End of story." "I am just trying to find a way..." "Where I could be a more consistent presence in his life." "And ideally, I'd like to do that as a family." ""As a family"?" "Or what?" "What the fuck does that mean?" "I feel a passive-aggressive threat in everything you say." "Either do this or I will resent you for the rest of our lives." "You know?" "Am I right?" "You know what?" "You know what?" "I'm sensing something." "I think the problem is, is that you don't want me to have a more substantial job." "On some level, you feel threatened by my achieving anything..." "That could diminish your status in our relationship." "My status in our relationship?" "I teach two courses a semester at the fucking American School." "Okay." "Wow, that's really some status." "I don't think it's coincidence you feel that..." "At the same time I have a truly exciting job opportunity." "This whole train of thought is complete horseshit and you know it." "I have a question for you." "If we didn't have the girls and all our crap, would we even still be together?" "What?" "You are the fucking mayor of crazy town, do you know that?" "You know what I think?" "You need to move to Chicago." "Henry needs you." "I stay in Paris with the girls and take this job." "Why are you doing this?" "That is a ridiculous idea." "I'm gonna lose you and the girls?" "No." "Why do you make everything so difficult?" "You're unhappy." "You're blaming me for taking you away from your son." "That is a completely irrational response..." "To something I'm just trying to feel my way through." "Listen, Jesse, we've just spent the last six weeks here..." "And it's been great." "You've been able to write every day and the weather's been nice." " But I didn't wanna come to Greece." " I know." "All right?" "There could be a revolution any second." " Oh, God." " People eat a lot of feta and olive oil..." "And they act all happy, but they actually talk about how angry they are..." "And it confuses me." "I don't know what's gonna happen." "Let me tell you what's gonna happen." "The same thing that always happens." "Nothing." "All right." "Know what?" "I have had absolutely zero time for myself." "I have 10,000 emails I have to answer that I didn't answer." "You think I don't?" "I spend all day making dinner and wiping you and your son's pee..." "While you talk to fellow novelists." "Blah, blah, blah, you're a genius." "Blah, blah, blah, no, you're a genius." "The second we say goodbye to Henry, you suggest I give up my dream job." "Oh, okay, now it's your dream job?" "This afternoon you weren't even sure you wanted it." "Do you ever listen to yourself?" "It is my dream job." "Just because I have doubts doesn't mean I don't want it." " Okay." " But why do you care?" "You go on your two hour contemplative walk under the olive trees." "Socrates." "You should get a robe." "It's an hour." "By the time you leave and by the time you're with us, two hours." "I could never do that." "You're good at taking care of yourself." "I take care of myself and everything else." "We go, you pack your bag." "I pack everything else." "You would never let me pack the girls' shit." "Never." "There would be no shoes and dirty underwear." "Yeah, right, so says you." "No, I'm happy you have time to contemplate the universe..." "Because I don't." "I barely have time to think." "I work, I babysit, I work, I babysit." "Could you hold on a second?" "I just have to tune up the string section." "You know what?" "Only time I get to think now is when I take a shit at the office." "I'm starting to associate thoughts with the smell of shit." "Well, that is a good line." "I'm gonna use that in a book someday." "Yeah, I'm sure and that'll be the best line in the book." "And by the way, you may never, ever, use me or anything I say or do..." "In one of your fucking books again." "That goes for the girls too." "A, you shouldn't have hooked up with a writer." "B, you weren't in the last book or the one now." "C, I'm gonna write about whatever the fuck I want." "As always, our life works for you." "No, no, no." "Don't give me this put upon housewife bullshit." "Okay?" "This is not the '50s." "Sorry to ruin your perfect little narrative of oppression with the truth..." "But I am the one who's at home dealing with the bullshit." " You're at work until 6:30." " Six o'clock." "You take the girls to school, I pick them up." "That's fair." "That's our deal." " We live in Paris, France, for chrissakes." " And you remind me of it every day." "I have orbited my entire life around you and you know it." "Okay?" "Sorry if this summer's vacation..." "And it is a vacation." "I've seen you frolic in the sea and shove salad down your throat." "But it is not indicative of you spending your life in domestic servitude." "You know what I love about men?" "They still believe in magic." "Little fairies around who pick up their socks..." "Little fairies unload the dishwasher, little fairies sunscreen the kids." "Little fairies who make the Greek salad that you eat like a pig." "Okay, listen to me." "All right?" "You are great at taking care of us." "You are." "I mean, you take care of the kids, you take care of your friends..." "You take care of the world." "You were like that before you were a morn..." "And now it's only magnified." "But, and I've been telling you this for years now..." "You gotta do a little better job taking care of yourself." "Okay, stop patronizing me." "All right?" "I'm the one at home every day at 6, not 6:30." "I'm reliable." "Have you ever booked a babysitter, ever, in your entire life?" "No." " What is the name of their pediatrician?" " Stop quizzing me." "It's fucking boring." "Yeah, okay." "You know what?" "I'm at home every night and I make dinner..." "Give baths and read stories." "Sometimes you're there..." "Sometimes you're at a university event or a publicity tour." "Okay?" "When you get inspired, you keep on writing." "I get inspired too sometimes, you know that?" "You wanna write?" "Write." "No, but you remember..." "I used to sing and play guitar and write songs?" "I'd still like to do it, but I don't get to." "There isn't time." "Okay." "Well, first off, my writing isn't a hobby." "All right?" "Secondly, I wish you would find the time." "You somehow find time to complain about eight hours a day." "I mean, I love the way you sing." "Okay?" "I fucked up my whole life because of the way you sing." "All right?" "If you took one eighth of the energy that you spend..." "On bitching, whining and worrying..." "If you put that energy into playing scales, you'd be like fucking Django Reinhardt." "Okay." "All right." "You forgot your shoes." "Oh, God." "You think you're winning?" "Few people realize..." "What it's like for an active or passionate woman to have a child." "Friends told me, "You'll wanna throw them out the window."" "But I never wanted to hurt them once, but I thought about ending it for myself." "I was so confused and you were always away on a stupid book tour..." "Or because of Henry's custody shit, and I didn't wanna be a burden." "I know why Sylvia Plath put her head in a toaster." " It was an oven." " Don't play with words." "You know what I mean." "Toaster, oven, same thing." "You know how many times I was alone crying with no clue what to do?" "Know the guilt a mother feels when she doesn't know what to do?" "Do you think you have sole ownership of that feeling?" "I don't think you understand." "Okay?" "You know what my secret fear is?" "With every man?" "Is that they all wanna turn me into a submissive housewife." "Okay." "No one could ever do that." "All right?" "I promise." "It would be easier to fit your head into a toaster..." "Than to turn you into anything submissive." "I don't think I've recovered since giving birth." "When they were born, I had no idea what to do." "People expect women to have this instinct that kicks in..." "Like a female baboon." "But I had no idea how to do anything." "I loved them so much and I was doing everything wrong." "And you were away so often, calling me, and asking me how my day went..." "And I couldn't even say it to you because I felt so ashamed..." "To be so clueless." " I think you did great." " No, I didn't." "No, you did." "Well, you did a good job faking it, then." "I just..." "I remember the only way I could get them to sleep..." "Was to drag that stupid double stroller down the stairs..." "And walk them for hours in the middle of the night..." "All the way to Pigalle and back." "I almost got mugged once." "The only reason why the guy didn't attack me is that I looked so pathetic." "The only upside of being over 35 is that you don't get raped as much." "I read it." "It's true." "Oh, Jesus." "Once, I remember, I was watching the twins on a trampoline, you know..." "And they looked so beautiful..." "And I was happy because they were happy." "You know, one of them had this HulaHoop..." "That she was using as a jump rope, you know..." "But then the other one wanted it so they started fighting over it, you know?" "And all of a sudden, I just saw it all." "You know, all this petty jealously and selfishness, you know?" "And I remember thinking, "Okay, this is the natural human state."" "You know, just always a little dissatisfied, perpetually discontented, you know?" "I mean, look at us." "Here we are, we are in, you know, the Garden of Eden..." "And we can't stop fighting." "I don't think there's one natural human state." "The human state is multiple." "If that's what you see when you're watching the girls play..." "That means you're depressed." "Okay." "Maybe I am." "No, but when I see them fight, I see beautiful energy of going forward..." "Not letting anyone step on them or take away what they want." "I like it when they fight." "It gives me hope for them." "You see anger as a positive emotion." "You know, you only end up hurting yourself, your work, the kids, me." "And you never get angry?" "When I do, I don't see it as a positive." "You know something?" "The way you write, people come up to me and think..." "I make love to some wildcat Henry Miller type." "You like to have sex the exact same way every time." "When you got it, you got it." "Kissy, kissy." "Tittie, tittie." "Pussy." "I'm a man of simple pleasures." "Yeah, very simple..." "And I've been meaning to tell you that lately." "You're no Henry Miller, on any level." "And you know what?" "This room gives me the creeps." "I was expecting something quaint, like the real Greece." " Place is real." " What are we doing here?" "This is too planned, like we're supposed to have this great evening." "No room for spontaneity." "It is all gone from our lives." " This is stupid and it's not working." " Obviously." "And I curse Ariadni and that perv Stefanos for doing this." "Okay." "A couple's massage?" "What the fuck is that?" "That sounds sleazy to me." "We don't have to do it!" "Okay?" "Come on, this place isn't so bad." "I like hotel rooms." "I think they're sexy." "Yeah, I know you do..." "Mr. BookTour." "Mr. RadissonHilton." "And I know that time when you were doing that reading in Washington..." "When your cell phone supposedly broke that night." "How convenient." "Swear on our kids you didn't fuck that lady from the bookstore." "Emily." "Swear to me you didn't fuck that Emily girl." "And I'm not jealous because I'm not the type." "But I just wanna know." "Okay?" "Be a man and admit the truth." "I am giving you my whole life, okay?" "I got nothing larger to give." "I'm not giving it to anybody else." "If you're looking for permission to disqualify me..." "I'm not gonna give it to you." "Okay?" "I love you..." "And I am not in conflict about it." "Okay?" "But if what you want is a laundry list..." "Of things about you that piss me off, I could give it to you." " Yeah." "I want to hear." " Okay." "Well..." "Let's start at number one, okay?" "Number one, you're fucking nuts." "All right?" "You are." "Good luck finding somebody..." "To put up with your shit for more than, like, six months." "Okay?" "But I accept the whole package, the crazy and the brilliant, all right?" "You're not gonna change, I don't want you to." "It's accepting you for being you." "I asked you a question." "If, while I was carrying that double stroller down the stairs and getting assraped in Pigalle, you fucked that little Emily Bronté girl?" "I don't know what Emily." "What are you talking about?" "The one that wrote the nice emails about Dostoevsky?" ""Oh, Jesse, you're so right." "The Grand Commander is the deepest passage of all of Russian literature."" "If you're asking me..." "If I'm committed to you, the girls and the life we built together..." "The answer is a resounding yes." "So you did fuck her." "Thank you very much." "Do I ask about the time you went to your old boyfriend after his mother died?" "No." "Why?" "Because I know the way that your fucking French ass works..." "And I guarantee that you at least blew that guy, but I also know you love me." "All right?" "I'm okay with you being a complicated human being." "I don't wanna live a boring life where two people own each other..." "Where two people are institutionalized in a box that others created..." "Because that is a bunch of stifling bullshit!" "Oh, God." "Well..." "You know what's going on here?" "It's simple." "I don't think I love you anymore." " Miss?" " I don't wanna talk right now." "Here by yourself or waiting for somebody?" "I'm by myself and happy to be." "I'm an angry person and I hurt my kids, my work and everyone I love." "Just my type..." "Okay." "I'm not in the mood." "I came here to be alone." "I've just been checking you out, and I don't wanna make you uncomfortable..." "But you are, by far, the best looking woman in this place." " Thank you." " I'd love to buy you a drink..." "Maybe talk to you, get to know you a bit." "Are you here on business?" "Okay." "I see." "You have a boyfriend?" "Not anymore." "Jeez, sorry to hear that." "God, you wanna talk about it?" "I don't talk to strangers." "That's the thing, I'm not a stranger." "No, no, no, we've met before." "Summer '94." " You're mistaking me for someone else." " No." " We even fell in love." " Really?" "I vaguely remember someone sweet and romantic..." "Who made me feel like I wasn't alone." "Someone who had respect for who I was." "That's me." "I'm that guy." "I don't think so." "See, I know something about tonight that you don't know." "Really?" "What is that?" "Something important." "You see, I know because I've actually already lived through this night." " How?" " I'm a time traveler." "Okay." "No, I have a time machine in my room." "I've come to save you, like I said I would." " Save me from what?" " From being blinded by the bullshit of life." "It's not bullshit." "I assure you, that guy you vaguely remember..." "The sweet romantic one that you met on a train?" "That is me." " That's you?" " Yeah." "Guess I didn't recognize you." "You look like shit." "What can I say?" "I mean, it's tough out there in time and space." "You, on the other hand..." "Are even more beautiful than I remember." "Bullshit." "Jesse, this is not a game." "You get all cute, you get in my panties." "And next thing I know, I'm in Chicago." "Not gonna make it better by some pickup line." "I'm not trying to pick you up." "No, you misunderstand me." "No, no, no." "I'm only here as a messenger." "I've just traveled all the way from the future." "I was just with your 82 yearold self..." "Who gave me a letter to read to you." "So here I am." "I'm still alive in my 80's?" "Oh, yeah." " How's my French ass?" " Nice." " Okay." " Really nice." " I don't care about the way I look." " There's more of you to love." " Great." " You want me to read it to you?" " Do I have a choice?" " Sure." "If you're not interested..." "No, no, no." " Read it." " Okay." "All right." "Well, here it is." ""Dear Celine, I am writing to you from the other side of the woods." "This letter is lighting a candle that will..."" " Okay, stop it." "I would never write this." ""Other side of the woods." What woods?" " May I please continue?" " Okay." ""I am sending you this young man." ""Yes, young." ""And he will be your escort." ""God knows he has many problems and has struggled his whole life..." ""Connecting and being present even with those he loves the most." ""And for that he is deeply sorry." ""But you are his only hope." ""Celine, my advice to you is this." ""You're entering the best years of your life." ""Looking back from where I sit now..." ""These middle years are only a little bit more difficult..." ""Than when you were 12..." ""And Mathieu and Vanessa danced all night..." ""To the Bee Gees "How Deep ls Your Love."'" "I don't know about that." "Anyway..." ""Celine, you will be fine." ""Your girls will grow up to become examples and icons of feminism."" " Nice one." " Yeah." "I just noticed there's a postscript at the bottom." "Looks important." "Maybe I should skip over some of this." " Yeah, skip away." "Please." " Okay." " You sure?" "Yeah, okay." " Yeah."

""By the way, the best sex of my life happened one night..." ""In the southern Peloponnese." ""Don't miss it." ""My whole sexual being went to a new, groundbreaking level."" " Groundbreaking." "Great." " I don't know what that means." "Okay, Jesse, can you stop this stupid game?" "We're not in one of your stories." "Okay?" "Did you hear what I said to you back in the room?" "Did you hear me?" "Yes, I heard you." "What, that you don't love me anymore?" "I figured you didn't mean it, but if you did, then..." "Oh, fuck it." "Know something?" "You're just like the little girls and everybody else." "You wanna live inside some fairy tale." "I'm just trying to make things better." "I tell you I love you, I tell you you're beautiful..." "I tell you that your ass looks great when you're 80." " I'm trying to make you laugh." " Okay." "All right, I put up with plenty of your shit." "And if you think I'm just some dog who's gonna keep coming back, you're wrong." "But if you want true love, then this is it." "This is real life." "It's not perfect, but it's real." "And if you can't see it, then you're blind, all right, and I give up." "Oh, God." "So, what about this time machine?" "What do you mean?" "How does it work?" "Well, it's complicated." "Am I gonna have to get naked to operate it?" "I mean..." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's actually..." "It's been a real issue, you know?" "I mean, I..." "Clothes, they don't travel well through the whole spacetime continuum." "It's..." " You're so smart." " Oh, jeez." " Spacetime...?" " Continuum." " Continuum." " Yeah." "Really." "There's something that I've been thinking about, about your letter." " Yeah?" " You know, you..." "You mentioned the southern Peloponnese?" "Yeah, yeah, and we're in the southern Peloponnese." "Yeah, and do you think it could be tonight..." "That you're still talking about in your 80's?" "Well..." "It must have been one hell of a night we're about to have."

"I don't want you to think of this as just a film some process of converting electrons and magnetic impulses into shapes and figures and sounds." "No." "Listen to me." "We're here to make a dent in the universe." "Otherwise, why even be here?" "We're creating a completely new consciousness like an artist or a poet." "That's how you have to think of this." "We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing." "Right." "Well, Steven, at the moment I'm more worried about getting light on the actress." "You know what I mean?" "Simon." "Excuse me a second." " Michelle." " Yeah?" "Michelle, walk..." "Yes, walk towards lens slowly." "Like this?" "Okay." "Right." "Right." "I always wondered what it must have been like for Steve." "I mean, ever since we were kids, everything he ever did was somewhere between a religious experience and some sort of crusade." "Like with this commercial." "It was practically a legend from the time Ridley Scott filmed it." "Like the book, 1984, with all the downtrodden masses and that one huge spark of rebellion against the evil Big Brother who ran everything." "Go, go, go." "Smoke it up, please." "And you three." "That's right, you'll come with me." "The rest of you stay in the back." " is a more powerful weapon than any fleet or army on Earth." "We are one people with one will." "One resolve." "One cause." "Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion." "We shall prevail." "And then 13 years later Steve has to stand up on that stage in Boston." "Man, that was..." "That was weird." "The era of competition between us is over." "Thank you, Bill." "Thank you for standing with us." "The world's a better place because of it." "Microsoft is gonna ruin Apple." "You can't trust them." "I know." "I realize that this news may be shocking to some of you." "I mean, Steve talking to Bill Gates who's staring down like he's Big Brother, and he was." "For years, Steve almost went crazy over what Bill was doing to him and now he's up there on that stage, in front of the world telling everybody he's practically the Second Coming." "I mean, how do you get from there to here?" "There was a disturbance on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley." "The Santa Barbara campus reported a small-scale riot as well." " The demonstrators said they were..." " More than 400 students have taken part in the demonstration." "In the morning, police began launching tear-gas grenades to break up the crowd." "Student leaders are anxious to meet with university officials to express their views on Vietnam." " What the hell are we doing here?" " Let's get out of here." "Stay back." "Hold it." "Hold it there." "Get back." " Don't drop the box!" " I'm not!" "Come on." "You okay?" "Those guys think they're revolutionaries." " They're not." "We are." " We are?" "You know, Steve was never like you or me." "He always saw things differently." "Even then when I was in Berkeley I'd see something and just see kilobytes or circuit boards while he'd see karma or the meaning of the universe." "Steve and I found this weird guy who was a hero around Berkeley all because he found a way to beat the system." "This guy was called Captain Crunch because he figured out this little whistle that you found in boxes of Cap'n Crunch cereal had the same tones as ATT's long-distance equipment." "So you got free phone calls anywhere in the world with this thing I built called the blue box." "And then we tested it out by calling the pope." " You talk to him." " No, no, no." "They're putting you through to the pope?" "I totally figured it out, man." "I figured it out." "I know what it's about." "You know what it's about?" "It's about power." "Right on, man." "It's like those weird countries where the army guys overthrow the president." "The first thing that they take over are the ways people communicate, you know, radio, TV, newspapers." "Far-out, man." "Information is power." "I kept building the boxes, and Steve kept selling them until one day, we almost got busted by some cops who, thank God, didn't even know what a blue box was." "You might wanna try a haircut, boys." "So I started trying to build something that wasn't gonna get us in trouble." " That's not a blue box." " It's a computer." "Woz, we need blue boxes, not computers." " I got a reporter from Mercury News coming." " What for?" "My mom phoned, told them I was building a computer, and they wanna do a story." "Woz, give me a break." "Hey, let me ask you something, seriously." "Look at me." "Do you wanna get stuck here the rest of your life in this hellhole?" "Look, this is where I grew up, okay?" "It's not a hellhole." "Shoot." "I know your newspaper will find Steve's computer fascinating." "He's so ingenious." "He built it all from spare parts." "Steven, the reporter is..." "Hi." "It caught fire." "My first chance at fame, and the computer catches fire." "Sorry." "When I was still at Berkeley I kept making weird electronic gadgets that were basically just jokes." "But, hey, you know, jokes are important." "The problem back then was me and Steve and his girlfriend were pretty much broke." "So we ended up doing some pretty nutty things just to make money." "I know where we can get a job." " Saw it on the bulletin board there." " What kind of job?" "I don't know." "It seems sort of like show business." "Dressing up as Alice in Wonderland and stuff for a bunch of kids?" "But, you know, Steve wasn't exactly cut out for that stuff." "Maybe in a past life I was a poet or an artist." "You know, maybe you talk about past lives and all that stuff because, well, you don't know who you are." "What the hell are you talking about?" "I don't know who I am?" "Well, you don't." "I mean, you told me..." "I don't wanna talk about it with you or anyone else." "I'm just trying to help." "It wasn't like Steve and I lost touch with each other but he was definitely in places I wasn't like some ashram in India and communes up in Oregon where they picked apples all day." "It was pretty much of a journey for Steve." "The kind that's as much on the inside as on the outside." "I mean, he definitely must have been to weird places." "See the new Playmate?" "Miss October?" "Hey, man, Miss August is way better." "Boobs out to here." "Honest to God, Ballmer." "You have no culture." "Yeah, right." "Like you go around reading Plato." "You're the only guy I know who could make furniture out of Playboys, for God sakes." "Look, you got enough to make a chair." "You don't have to worry about them moving because they're stuck together." " Get out." " They're all stuck together." " Sometimes back then I could've throttled Bill Gates." "The guy could turn any human situation into a poker game." "Forget about classes." "Poker." "The fact that the world might end tonight?" "No problem, poker." "Or we're finally deciphering the meaning of life." "More poker." "And winning." "The guy'd have a hairball if he'd lost which wasn't often, let me tell you." " Full house." " Oh, man." "Hey, Bill." "Our rooms were like a casino." "Actually, a messy casino." "And Bill slept wherever he fell down." "Bill, the revolution's starting without us." "Bill and Paul Allen had known each other since they were kids." "If the word "passion" entered into their lives it was for one thing:" "Computers." "Especially this one made by some guy in Albuquerque of all places." "What is this, porn for engineers?" "Oh, jeez, the Altair." "Am I missing something?" "I mean, Miss October, I can understand, but what is this?" "This is better than Miss October." "This is a computer." " Oh, God." " The article says that they need someone to figure out a language for it." "Right now it just sits there and blinks." "Whoever talks to this Ed Roberts has gotta go to Albuquerque to see him." "You should go because you look better for that stuff than I do." " I do not." " You both look terrible." " Just get used to it." " What are we supposed to do?" "It's simple." "You call him and say you're Paul." "And then Paul goes to Albuquerque and says he's Paul." "So, what are you gonna say?" "Hi, Mr. Ed Roberts, please." "This is Paul Allen, calling from Cambridge, Massachusetts." "It's our job to find out what this guy doesn't know that he needs but does need and make sure he knows he does need it and that we're the only ones to give him the answer." "What?" " Mr. Roberts?" " Yes, sir, Mr. Allen." "I tell you, I believe that we've got one hot product here." "The reason I can speak that way is because I've taken over 50 calls from people wanting to come to work with us on this Altair project." "So here's the deal." "I snuck two women into my room." "And they're naked." "I mean, like, really naked." "You know, like, gorgeous naked." "So don't say I never did anything for you because they're waiting for you right now." "Drop dead, Ballmer." "Oh, and I told them that you were writing a computer language and right away, they start moaning for it." ""Oh, computer languages." "Oh, Fortran." "Will you cut it out, Steve." "Excuse me, I'm just trying to save you guys from wasting your entire Harvard reading week over this Traf-O-Data simulator while everyone else is out getting drunk or laid." " Paul, are those parts binary?" " I give up." "I give up." "I give up." "I give up." "Oh, duck, Bill." "Oh, you know, Bill, I think you gotta come up with a better pickup line." "Asking her what her SAT score is is definitely not gonna do it." "I forgot to write a loader." "That's not an improvement, Bill." "No, no." "I just realized something." "Paul's on his way to Albuquerque." "I forgot to write the loader that connects the computer to the Teletype." "And if he starts that machine, and it can't read the tape, we're dead." "Unless he did it on the plane, I'm finished." " It's something I just realized." " I hope so." "If this Albuquerque thing had worked, I was gonna quit Harvard." "Are you crazy?" "I gotta be a doctor or something." "Gynecologist, maybe." " Come on." " I'm flying." "Yeah, you're flying." " Here we go." " Ballmer." "You're the only guy I know who pays the strippers to put their clothes on." "Come on, drunkie." "Okay." "Hey, Bill it's either the clothes or you, but something definitely needs to be hosed down." " Sorry we failed." " Come on." " Good night." " Sorry we failed." "Bill, Bill, Bill." "Bill, Bill, Bill." "It's an Altair." "They gave it to us as a gift." "We blew them away." "Woz, do we have to have mice?" "Come on, I like mice." "This is Irving." "Hey, man, you are putting poison into your body." "Hey, hey, come on." "Give me those." " That's french fries, man." " That's what I mean." "French fries, all-American food." "Come on." "I can't eat like you do." "Eating fruit all the time." "That's weird." "It's not weird." "It's pure." "Makes the soul pure." "Oh, wait, wait." "You gotta listen to this." "I got a great one today." "Did you hear about the drunk who came staggering out of the subway and said, "Man, I got lost in some guy's basement." "You should've seen the set of trains he had"?" " the Bay Area Dial-a-Joke Line, making your day a barrel of laughs." "I got a new book of Polish jokes." "Man, it'll keep me going for years." " Why?" " Why?" "It makes people laugh." "I got people phoning in every day just to hear my latest joke." "It makes their day better." "Are you sure this thing's gonna work?" " It doesn't catch fire." " Don't even joke." "I like jokes." "Jokes make me feel good." "You know, I hired a private detective today." "I wanna find my mother." "My real mother." "You never talk about that stuff with me." "That part about being adopted and all." "Guy says he can probably find her." "Why do you always get freaked out when Arlene asks about it?" "Arlene?" "Arlene's got her own problems." "My parents don't want her in the house." "She phones me a million times a day." "At least I'm working on my stuff." "Feel better?" "Now, Steve, tell the others what you're feeling." "Like..." " Like it's gone." " What is?" "The anger." "Like the anger's gone." "It's gone." "Back then, our big thrill was going to this thing they called the Homebrew Club." "It was where guys spent all their spare time trying to get access to big computers owned by the local corporations." "And people would go there and show the stuff they just built." "Except most of it didn't really work all that well." " Read in the Popular Electronics issue about a year ago about the new Altair 8800." "I was nervous that day we walked in with my homemade computer but I got a charge out of it." "All those guys..." "The schematics we have..." " What is this thing?" " Check it out." "The first computer you're ever gonna see." "What's the screen for?" "I was never good at talking to people in those days but Steve, he was amazing." "Alexander Graham Bell when he heard his first ring, that's as revolutionary as this is." "He's talking about the Altair?" "I never had a problem till I tried to use it." "All of a sudden we found out what we wanted to do with our lives." " It was all we ever wanted." " To 30." "Here is the first personal computer that you're gonna wanna buy." "Man, 50!" "We sold 50." "IBM is gonna be loading in their pants." "I don't even think IBM knows who we are." "Good." "This is guerrilla warfare." " They're the enemy." " They are?" "I used to think maybe Steve was born obsessed with wiping out IBM." "And in a way, you could see why." "I mean, in those days, as far as we were concerned IBM was practically like the Pentagon." "Here were a bunch of guys who dressed exactly the same and sang company songs." "I mean, we were these scruffy crazies messing around with computer stuff the IBM guys thought was, like, toys." "But what did they know?" " Where's your VW?" " Sold it." "1350 bucks." "We're on our way." " Steve." " What?" " What's the problem?" " I don't know if I can build these." "Hey, Woz, I assume we're speaking the same language, right?" "Dan, Elizabeth, I'm not speaking Swahili, am I?" "I'm here to inform you our universe is unfolding..." "But I still don't think I can build them." "I work for Hewlett-Packard sometimes." " Yeah, and?" " My dad pointed it out they get first chance in anything I invent." " What?" " I can't help it." "It's on the paper I signed." "Damn it, Woz!" "We get our shot, our destiny and now we gotta turn it all over to these businessmen?" "Steve." "It is Steve, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Steve, you say that this gadget of yours is for ordinary people." "What on earth would ordinary people want with computers?" "What?" "What?" "They hated it." "They hated it." "They hated it." "Whenever Steve went to a bank to get a loan it was like they were Eskimos, and we had a refrigerator to sell them." "Okay, so Steve didn't look like a business guy." "But who did?" "Business guys and bankers thought you'd just barfed on their shoes if you tried to interest them in computers for ordinary people." "I mean, go figure." "Where's your beard?" "In the bathroom." "Shaved it off." "Well, how come?" "Because banks don't like beards." "So we called ourselves Apple and started making those little computers." "Me, Steve and his friends Elizabeth and Dan." "All of us sweating away in Steve's parents' garage." "It's like sometimes not knowing how crazy something is is a good thing." "You're just goofing around until someone like Mike shows up and says, "Wow. "" " Steve Jobs?" " Jobs." "Oh, right." "I'm sorry." "Mike Markula." " Hey, Mike." "How you doing?" " I'm well." "The man who put intelligence into Intel." " Yeah..." " No smoking in here." "Oh, I'm sorry about that." "Yeah." " Valentine said you might call." " Yeah." " Welcome to Apple Computers." " Thank you." "Here it is, huh?" "I was looking for a venture opportunity like this." "What kind of venture money are we talking about, Mike?" "We start with about a quarter million dollars and see what happens." "Excuse me?" "Quarter million dollars." "You must be Steve Wozniak." " Yeah." " Mike Markula." "A quarter million dollars into this?" " Yep." " What's the catch?" " No catch, just business." " That's the catch because this ain't just business." "This is practically spiritual." "This is about overthrowing dead culture." " Dead gods." " Okay, look." "You guys wanna be operating out of a garage, that's fine with me." "But this is a ground-zero operation here." "Steve Wozniak's employee number one." "You're number two." "Wait a minute." "I'm employee number one." " Woz?" " Doesn't matter to me." " I'm employee number one." " I'm not saying anything." " I wasn't implying anything." " Then I'll be zero." " Woz, you can be number one." " I'll be zero." "Okay?" "Even though things were changing like crazy venture capitalists and bankers and all that some things still stayed the same, especially with Steve." " I don't want it, Steve." " It'll make you nice." "Woz, you and me." "This is your mother telling you to drop this beautiful acid..." "Your mother wouldn't approve either." " Get that away from me. "Man. "" " Man, come on." "I'd be careful." "Baby, it's you and me." "Take a little trip?" " No, thanks, Steve." " Come on." " Steve, no." " What's the matter with you guys?" "It's like living with a bunch of squares and stiffs." "More for me." "Oh, I'm standing." "I'm standing in front of something." "It's a field of wheat." "Oh, and I hear classical music playing." "Do you hear it?" "Do you hear it?" "I'm conducting classical music!" "Everything's moving with the wind." "Everything's moving with the wind." "Everything's moving just the way I want it to." "Everything." "Steve." "Hey how am I gonna get home?" " It's not bad when there's no wind." " Yeah?" "What is that?" "Bring down a pallet with six more." " Oh, man." " What?" "I was just thinking about Harvard." "It'll pass." "Hey, Paul." "Right on schedule." "How you doing?" " Good to see you." " Hi, Ed." "So are you...?" "Are you Bill?" "Are you Ed?" "Well, I'll be damned." "Signing bonus?" "I've never given a signing bonus in all my life." "You know, Ed, in our other contracts, we always get a signing bonus." " Other contracts?" " Yeah, our other contracts." "Well, I don't know." "I don't know." "Okay." " Two thousand." " Four thousand." " What?" " Of course." "Next, Ed, this business of a $ 15 royalty for BASIC sold in every 4K Altair, it's just not acceptable." "Let me tell you something, boy." "This ain't the way I do business." "And I especially don't like being dictated to by some little..." "Ed, Ed, this is not about dictating." "You see, this is about reality." "The reality is that your machine is brilliant, but it needs our language." "And without it, you know, it's just a tin box that lights up." "So let's double our royalty from $ 15 to $30 a copy." "So back then I get postcards from these guys." ""Wish you were here," and all that." "Yeah, right, Albuquerque." "Bill and Paul were living in this crummy motel acting like they had a clue about being in the computer business." " Eureka." " What?" "I created a program that can play blackjack." "Chris, you've been here two days, and you're into blackjack?" "Yeah, so?" "So you got work to do." "Oh, God, no." "Not Frank Sinatra." "Not "My Way. "" "Not again." "Spare us." "So, Paul, I'm putting in $909, and you're in for 606 and we're keeping the Microsoft name." "You know how you told Ed that we're leasing whole office buildings?" "What if he finds out our corporate headquarters are in that roach motel with two student employees?" "You think they're hookers?" "Either that or motel inspectors." "I saw that one going in and out of the motel room about a dozen times yesterday." "Oh, baby." " I quit Harvard for this?" " You wanted glamour." " You got glamour." " Come on, baby." "Quit bitching or else go get us that pizza." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, baby, come on." "Yes!" "Rise and shine." "Wakey wakey." "Your 9:30's here." "You left your MasterCard in the restaurant again yesterday." "That's the third time this month." "The hotel in Dallas called and said you left your suit in the room when you checked out." "Hertz called back and said they will never rent you a car again." "Two more speeding citations in the mail and wash your hair." "No, comb your hair, wash it later and change your shirt." "It's over there." "We're here for our 9:30 with your president, Mr. Gates." "Mr Gates?" "Hello?" "Oh, I forgot to tell you." "Paul left a message." "He said to tell you if you get thrown in jail again tonight, you're on your own." "You have to find somebody else to bail you out." "Okay?" " Jeez, Bill, isn't this Paul's car?" " You know, I figured it out." "Exercise is bad for your health." "You see, if you take a normal pulse rate, 70 per minute times the average life span, which is 75 years..." " Too fast, Bill." "Please." " Let's see, that's 70 times 60 minutes, times 24 hours, times 365 days." " Come on, please." " That's 37 million heartbeats times 75 years." "Slow down." "Hey, Chris." "Take a look." "Bill." "No way, man." "Bill." "The keys are in it." "I don't know if this is such a good idea, Bill." "Can you get off that thing?" "Come on." "I think you steer with the pedals and these levers." "No, Bill." "Come on." "Please." " Okay, don't worry about it." " Yeah, right." "On your mark." "Get set." "Go." "You're going down." "No way, man." "Microsoft?" "Nobody I knew ever heard of Microsoft or Bill Gates." "I mean, they were nobodies." "But then we were all nobodies, which was perfect for us because all the respectable, straight-arrow guys were busy doing what they always do, which is be respectable which meant the rest of us could run around acting like crazies which is what we did best." "I miss those days." "A bulldozer?" "Who's this Apple Computer?" "You hit my car with a bulldozer, Bill?" "I'm sorry." "We went looking for someone who had the kind of software we needed." "The only place we found was this dinky little company in Albuquerque, New Mexico." "It says Apple wants a contract for $21,000 to license BASIC." "Do you know what this means, Paul?" "Yeah, yeah." "It means that we're desperate for business." "We're nearly bankrupt, and even worse, we're in Albuquerque." "I just got this car, Bill." "I don't believe you." " A damn bulldozer?" " I'm sorry." "I think that this means there's something really going on out there in California." " Nine forty-five." " A.M. Or P. M?" "Opens in 15 minutes." "I'm so tired I can't see straight." "What if they find out we've only made three of these computers and we're acting like we got an assembly line full of the things?" " What then?" " Hey, Woz." "No sleeping in the booth, Woz." "You're cluttering up the joint." "Steve, all of a sudden we're working harder than our fathers who we laughed at for how hard they worked." " I don't get it." " Come on." "Still gotta change." "Change what?" "Doors will open in 15 minutes." "Oh, my God." " Steve." " What?" " What?" " No." " Like I have to have a mustache?" " A suit." "You actually bought a suit." "Two minutes to 10." " Well, you think anyone will show up?" " How the hell should I know that?" "Of course they're gonna show up." "I don't know." "Maybe." "Is my tie okay?" "There it is." "Unbelievable." "It was practically like being a rock star or something." "People swarming all over you." "Hordes of them coming to see this amazing machine with 62 chips and ICs that make all these colors." "Hard plastic, molded casing." "You've never seen this." " 65.02 and up." " No, we got them beat." "And when the guys from Microsoft showed up how were we to know who they were?" "Them standing there looking at an empty Altair booth on one side and us on the other." " I mean, who would you choose?" " Hi, how are you?" " Hi." " Steve." " How you doing?" " I'm Bill Gates." " Yeah, hi." " Chairman of Microsoft." " Nice to see you." "We had a box..." " Microsoft, we design..." "Yeah, good to see you." " Hey, Steve." "Over here." " Hi, John." "Excuse me, excuse me." "No, wait, come here." "Come here." "Maybe he just didn't hear you or something." "Yeah, maybe." "For the first time in my life, people are coming to me, instead of me going to them." "Man, this is insanely great." "I'm telling you, it was a weird time." "People were going nuts over the Apple II." "I couldn't keep up with anything." "The company was expanding so fast I didn't know who half the new people were." "And Steve had a lot of people, you know, older people start pay attention to him, which was amazing." "And me too, sort of." "People even knew who I was." " Hi." " Should have been fun but with all the good stuff, bad stuff came too." " Steve." " What?" "Oh, jeez." "Not again." "What?" "What?" "What?" "What are you...?" "What are you talking about, it's not your child?" "How do I even know if this baby's mine?" " You know." "Damn you, you know." " How do I know that?" "Steve, I'm two months pregnant." "Who else have I been with?" "Look, go do whatever it is you wanna do." "You wanna play mommy?" "Fine." " But the kid's not mine." " It is." "It is." "You bastard!" "God." "What did they say?" "Hey, Steve." "Take a look at this." "Carl's got that parity on that BASIC..." "You guys are not being paid to be a bunch of clowns!" "Or maybe you are." "Maybe that's the problem around here." "You guys are supposed to be writing programs." "Steve, we were just doing..." "I need people with talent." "I need artists!" "What the hell are you morons but a bunch of clock-punching losers?" "Huh, tell me?" "And here is another letter of recommendation." "Well, Mr. Brewster, we've looked at your application and I see a lot of mainframe experience here." "Six years." "Actually..." "Six and a half." "Steve?" "I don't know if you've met Steve Jobs." "Yes." "No." "It's good to meet you." "Right." "You were in marketing, correct?" "That was before the programming." "Yeah." "I took night-school courses at San Jose State." "You look like an IBM type." "Well no." "But I did have a chance in college to be interviewed by them and they liked me." "They flew me out to their headquarters Back East." "Oh, I'm sure they did." "No, I did, see?" "I was one of about a dozen people that they really recruited." "Are you a virgin?" "Steve, come on." " What?" "Am I what?" " Are you a virgin?" "I..." "No." "How old were you when you first got laid?" "I don't..." "I don't..." " Steve, will you leave him alone?" " I asked you a question." "My wife and I have been married since we were in grad school." "I didn't ask you about your wife." "You're still a virgin." "You just think you're not." "You don't fit in here." "Why are you even wasting our time?" "I..." "Yeah, I'll run a test on it." "Steve you demolished that guy." " Woz, what we're doing right now is like opening doors." "Every day." "If you open the wrong one, all sorts of bad things will come at you." "You gotta be careful which door you open." " You want me to go apologize to that guy?" " Well, he probably left." "You know, Steve, there's things you probably have to get past with me." "But I'm telling you, there's things that I have to get past with you." "I mean, people say stuff about you sometimes and I don't listen to them, because I know you." "I mean, I excuse stuff because we're friends." "It's worth it." "It is." "It's worth it." "It's worth it." "It's worth it." "It was about five years after I got out of Harvard I get this call from Bill, who says, "You wanna join me and Paul?"" "It was a two-bit little company they called Microsoft." "And at first I think, "Yeah." "Like I'd like to lose more hair. "" "But, you know, then I started thinking." "You know how you survive?" "You make people need you." "You survive because you make them need what you have." "And then they have nowhere else to go." "Right now we're dead." " Nobody needs us." " So we make them need us?" "We're too small even to matter." "We could be snuffed out tomorrow, and no one would notice." "You know what they say in the Mafia?" "You keep your friends close but your enemies closer." "Which enemies are you talking about?" "I got some full barf bags here." "Full barf bags." "Heads up." " He's sick." " Bald guy with barf bags." "Coming through." "Full ones too." "How you doing?" "Come on." " My tie." "I forgot my tie." " Great, Bill." "We're already late." "Hey, how you doing?" "Ten bucks for your tie." "Okay, 20." "Thirty." "Come on, come on." "Thirty." "Thirty bucks for that tie." "Where did you get that, Sears?" "Come on." "Help us out here." "Would you?" "Please?" "You see, by that time, Bill had already figured out that we gotta go right into the belly of the beast." "The scariest beast of them all, IBM." "IBM." "And back then, man, they were like Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Vlad the Impaler all rolled into one." "But what we were gonna do was, we were gonna make them love us." "Gentlemen, how are you?" "Nice tie." " Thanks." " We're over here." "Our shirts are as white as theirs." "We think we have what you need." "That's a start." "Now, we know that IBM has set up this place to compete head-on with Apple and you're gearing up to come out with a personal computer that will wipe them out." "So we can get you an operating system." "What kind of operating system?" "It's called DOS." "This is amazing." "Not just amazing, it's historic." "It should be taught in all the history books." "I mean, hung and framed in the National Gallery or something." "Because this is the instant of creation of one of the greatest fortunes in the history of the world." "I mean, Bill Gates is the richest guy in the world because of what started in this room." "You wanna know what else?" "It wasn't exactly smoke and mirrors, but we didn't have anything." "I mean, not a damn thing." "Here we were, this two-bit little outfit telling IBM we had the answer to their problems." "DOS?" "The Disk Operating System?" "To make all those zillion IBM computers compute?" "We didn't even remotely own anything like what Bill was selling them." "Nada, zip." "Of course, we don't just wanna sell it to you outright." "We wanna be able to license it to you." " You want to retain ownership?" " Right." "Well, the profits are in the computers themselves, not this software stuff." "No big deal." "Oh, and one other thing." "We have to be able to sell it to other outfits." "But there was just one little problem." "Bill, why did you tell them we have an operating system?" "We don't have a thing to sell them now." "We're dead." " We're not." "You'll give us the miracle, right?" " Oh, yeah, right." "Well, come on." "You said you knew a guy we could buy an operating system from." "I said I sort of know him." "Sort of?" "You heard me." "Don't tell me "sort of. " I just told IBM." "Sort of." " Here you go." " Thanks." "So basically, you're saying you wanna buy my operating system." "Yeah." "Why?" "You know, I don't know." "We just think we might be able to mess with it and resell it." "Who to?" "We have a few customers, you know, we're sort of talking to." "Some of them don't want it known what we're doing." "So they made us sign a secrecy agreement." " And you're offering us?" " Fifty thousand." " Dollars?" " Dollars." "You worried?" "Oh, no." "Only my whole life hangs in the balance." "Me, worried?" "No." "We got IBM." "IBM." "I mean, come to think of it why would IBM wanna make a deal with a bunch of bozos like us?" "Because they're successful, Ballmer." "Success is a menace." "It fools smart people into thinking they can't lose." "So?" "So, you mute moron?" "Can you hear it?" "The sound of money?" "The roar of money." "It was like everywhere you turned, money poured down." "Millions and more millions." "All because we bought that guy's operating system for a measly 50,000 bucks." "That fueled a worldwide explosion of wealth unlike anything in the history of man." "But you know something?" "Having money and being cool are not necessarily the same thing." " Hi, I'm Bill Gates..." " Hey." "What in the...?" "Hi." "You know, you should really watch where you're going." "You must have really great bandwidth." " Excuse me?" " What are you doing later?" "Who is that jerk?" "Way to go, hotshot." "When Paul and I were at Lakeside, we were in 10th grade together we rigged a computer so we could get classes with all the best girls." "Obviously, it's been downhill since then." "You should walk around with your bankbook hanging from a chain on your belt." "Or maybe you ought to stop yelling in front of your employees." "Girls don't like yelling." "They like cool." "Oh, really, Ballmer?" "How do you get to be cool?" "I don't know." "You saw Saturday Night Fever." "Travolta's cool." "I'd like to welcome all of you to the new headquarters and home of Apple Computers." "All of a sudden, Steve was a huge star." "The kind where people practically hang on your every word like they're excited just to be around you." "Thank you very much for joining us today on this lovely day and helping us stop the gossip rumors in their tracks." "Without further ado, the rumors are true." "Ladies and gentlemen, our new president, John Sculley." "To tell you the truth, I was perfectly happy to be president of Pepsi-Cola until Steve Jobs came to recruit me and said:" ""Do you wanna sell sugared water for the rest of your life or do you wanna make history?"" " Yeah." " Yeah." " I know." " Yeah, operator." " I need information for Oregon." " Okay, give me a minute." "Steve, I gotta talk." "I don't know how to act in situations like this." " In a minute." " I mean, Steve, that stock-offering thing?" "A hundred million dollars?" " What do you do with $ 116 million?" " In a minute." "I don't think rich, okay?" "I know a lot of people think rich, but I don't think rich." "I mean, maybe you learn it, but, jeez, $ 100 million." "That's a lot of learning to do." "I hardly ever had enough for lunch before all this." "We should have given stock to the other guys, Steve." "Like Dan?" "Dan's been with us since we started and you didn't set aside any stock for him." "Steve." " I'm gonna give Dan some of my stock." " Yeah, is Arlene there?" "We gotta do the right thing." "Arlene?" "Okay, fine." "Let's talk about this baby." "Steve, why do you care what I call the baby?" "Because I don't want the baby named Rainbow." "Or Orisha or Ravi Shankar or any other name like that." "Steve, not right now, okay?" "Well, when the hell is a good time to call?" "Because every time I try..." "Steve." " Do you want me to take that?" " Thank you." "You're welcome." "Hi." "Hi." "So I just came by to make sure everything's okay." " Everything okay?" " Thank you." "And to make sure that you're not gonna name it some weird name." "What's wrong with naming her Orisha?" "Or Sunshine or Purity?" "A kid's got enough problems in this world not knowing where it belongs." "A name can label a kid." "Make it..." "It can make it an outsider." "Not "it. "" "Her." "Her." "Lisa." "Okay." "Okay." "She's your daughter too." "Arlene, let's not go through that again." "You don't just live in life." "You change it, you shape it, you make your mark upon it." "And that's what, get used to the name Lisa is gonna do." "Yeah!" "You know, that computer was the first big new project we had at Apple." "And some people are still wondering why Steve insisted on that name." "You wanna call a computer Lisa?" "Isn't that your baby's...?" "I mean..." "What's her name?" "Arlene." "Isn't that Arlene's baby's name?" "Other guys here have daughters named Lisa." "Steve, you got a baby up there you don't even wanna talk about." " I mean, it looks sort of..." " Sort of what?" "We have to think of ourselves as artists." "It's like Picasso said:" "Good artists copy." "Great artists steal." "This is who we wanted to steal from." "Xerox." "They were secretly developing all this amazing stuff like the mouse and the graphics on the screen instead of just a bunch of numbers." "But when those California engineers had to go to New York and present all this neat stuff to the Xerox brass those executives didn't begin to understand what they were looking at." "Never mind a mouse." "It was like someone dumped a dead rat on the boardroom table." "A mouse." "You want Xerox to consider something called a mouse?" "See, this is where Steve was a genius because he persuaded Xerox into showing us all this incredible stuff their California guys had developed." "I tell you, it was making their people absolutely nuts." "Oh, God." "Let's go." "You know, I felt like one of the Mongol hordes..." "No, no." "This is insane." "We'd just be handing him everything." "We created the mouse and all the rest of it, and now these idiots in New York want to show it all to Steve Jobs." "I won't do it." "Hi." "I'm Steve Jobs." "I need you to answer some other questions about the stuff you've invented." "The graphic interface?" "It's not going to hurt." "That's what you think." " What do you want to know?" " How does it...?" "What is your base length?" "Is it integer, or is it compound?" "Does your operating system convert to executable codes?" " I got it." "I got it, Steve-O." "I got it, Steve-O." " What is the middle...?" "It's pretty neat, right?" "Click, you're there." "Click, you're somewhere else." "This graphic interface stuff was like a miracle back then, and we got it." "Steve got it, from Xerox, who just turned it all over for us to fool with." "Like rich people giving junky old stuff to the Salvation Army only the junk turns out to be a Rembrandt." "About $ 100 billion head start on everyone else." "Apple was making tons of money." "It was great." "And of course, I sort of lost my mind." "I mean, it was all fun and games." "I started buying really expensive toys." "It was me with my own plane." "Only problem was, maybe I wasn't as good a pilot as I thought I was." "I mean, it's one thing when computers crash, but planes?" "You don't want to know." "Hey, Steve." "Are you just getting here?" "No, I was just outside talking to the doctor." "You don't remember us talking 10 minutes ago?" " We talked?" " Yeah." "Hey, my hard disk crashed." "A computer guy with memory problems." "Oh, man." "It's the weirdest thing." "You know there's a part of your life there only you don't know about it." "It makes you crazy." "Hey." "Hey!" "Paul." "Simonyi, get Matthews." "Ballmer, get in here." " What is it?" " This is seriously crummy." "Apple's new computer, Lisa?" "We're dead." "Oh, yeah, I've already seen one." "The graphics and the operating system they have they make what we're selling IBM look a decade out-of-date." " I want it." " What do you mean, you want it?" " It's Apple's." "We can't just go and steal it." " You're not listening to me." "I want it." "Final call for TWA flight 2684 to San Jose." "Final call." " Fifty bucks he misses the flight." " You're on." "It wouldn't hurt to buy a car radio, Bill." " I can't pick up the radio..." " One traffic report." " Hold on." " Sir, we're on this plane." "I'm sorry." "Your plane is on the runway." "Ma'am, what kind of service is this today?" "I'm sorry, sir." "There's nothing that can bring that plane back to the gate." "Yes, there is." "Willpower." "I'm going to will that that plane be turned around." " Oh, really?" " Really, sir." "Are you aware that today in my briefcase are computer language codes?" " Do you know what they do, sir?" " I'm afraid I don't." "They protect against viruses." "You're aware of viruses, I presume?" " Sir, I do go to doctors." " No, sir, computer viruses." "Oh, yeah, I just read an article about those things." " They can wipe out a whole computer." " A whole system of computers." "Like the one behind your terminal there, like the one in the plane like the one on all planes in the airlines, like the one in the control tower, sir." "I ask you, are you prepared to take responsibility for your actions if I don't get this information on that plane?" "Jeez, his reputation for inconveniencing the rest of the world is intact." "He actually missed a flight." "This is your captain speaking." "We have to return to the gate for a few minutes." "Nothing critical." " Attention, please, flight..." " Your tickets, please." " You have the tickets, right?" " No, I gave them to you." "Bill, in the car." "Wow." "These guys must be 50 times bigger than we are." "Good artists copy." "Great artists steal." " Oh, yeah?" "Who said that?" " Some artist." "I think it was Van Gogh." "Hey, check it out." "Aye, matey." "It wouldn't be time to rape and pillage, would it?" "You sure it's okay to let these Microsoft guys in here?" "We have culture." "They don't." "No taste." "No original thinking." "But they can be useful to us." "Time for the dog and pony show." "Welcome to Apple." "Bill." "Nice to see you." "Thanks for coming." "Steve." " How you doing, Steve?" " Glad you're here." "Paul." "Hi, Steve Jobs." " Hi." "Charles Simonyi." " Come on in." "Let me introduce you." "This is Gilmore." "He's one of our top programmers." "And he's a loyal man." "Well, to do this, you need loyalty." " Total loyalty." "Isn't that right?" " That's the plan, Steve." "This way." "The Macintosh team." "It's more like a family." "Everybody else is an outsider." " What's with the pirate stuff?" " What do I always tell you?" "Better to be a pirate than join the Navy." " You a pirate?" " Oh, yeah." "Yeah, absolutely, Steve." "I've been up for 52 hours straight." "Loyalty." "I'm gonna show you the future." "It's top-secret." "It's still about a year away from introduction." "The ultimate, insanely great fusion of art and science." " It's called the Macintosh." " This is definitely not the Lisa." "That's a graphic user interface." "I don't understand." "How does a computer handle the mouse-cursor display?" "Hardware's got nothing to do with the mouse." " It's all in the software." " Enough." "Sorry, Steve." "There's no point in torturing our guests with what they can't have." "You're vulnerable in spreadsheets, you know, Steve." "We can help you." "Ninety hours a week." "Like the T-shirt?" "I'm gonna give it to my people." "Some of them work even more than 90 hours a week." "We have Multiplan running on dozens of different platforms." "No one can match us." "You can't just have employees anymore." "It's great." "No, they gotta be into a crusade." "It's like art, science, religion, all rolled into one." "We have multi-tool interface." "It can be redesigned for the Mac." "Redesigned." "Redesigned." "We're artists here." "A place where raw sand comes in one end and goes out the other." "Silicon art." "You know, IBM, they're gonna want all our stuff." "IBM?" "IBM, they're history." "I mean, they're 1950s, they're ice America, a bloated enemy in a crumbling castle." " And we're storming it." " I know IBM is the enemy, Steve." "But we can help you." "You don't have to worry about IBM." "Yeah?" "So why you even working with them?" "I'd much rather work with you." "We're in." " We're doing work for Apple." " You're kidding me." "They're sending us three prototypes of the computer we just saw." " The Macintosh." " For God sakes." "There's a pirate flag flying above our heads, and he's giving us the crown jewel?" "Who the hell's the pirate here?" "He sees what he believes, not the other way around." "We're not his worst problem." "If he's not careful, he's gonna wreck the place." " Macintosh!" "Macintosh!" " Macintosh rules!" " Apple II's the best!" " Mac's the best!" "Even when I got my memory back, it was never the same for me." "I couldn't believe how it had all changed." "Apple was tearing itself to pieces." "Steve had turned it into two camps:" "His new Macintosh group against everyone else in the company." "Steve, what the hell is this?" "It's like a family." "Things get messy." "I don't understand this." "You got the Mac people against the Apple II people?" " They're beating each other up." " Amazing, huh?" "People wanna be shaped, molded." "But if you asked any of them, any of them, they'd deny it." "I don't wanna shape anybody, Steve." "This isn't fun anymore." "Maybe fun is just fragments of existence with better packaging." "I don't make jokes anymore." "I told you a long time ago, I like jokes." "Steve!" "Goodbye." "I'm quitting Apple." " Well, that's a joke, right?" " No." "I'm going back to college." "Woz." "Hey, what are you doing?" "I don't think it's such a good idea." "All I'm doing now is being a brake pedal for you as you're heading for the wall." "Woz!" " I ask you for brilliance?" " Steve." "I've asked you for genius, and you're giving me this?" "Steve, please." "Oh, no, Steve, not again." "It's 3 a. m., okay?" "I don't have the energy to defend an unfinished design." "That's because there's nothing to defend." "I want beauty, not incompetence." "Are you listening to me?" " Are you listening...?" " Yes, I'm listening!" "I am so sick of your abusiveness." "That's all you know." "Tearing people down, throwing tantrums." " You miserable son of a bitch." " What are you doing?" "Come on, back off." "I know we've been in a battle and like all battles, we've had our casualties along the way." "But today's about celebrating." "The Macintosh." "It's time for a christening of our little Macintosh." "Our baby." " Congratulations." " Congratulations." "Real artists ship." "In this company, in Apple, in the entire business we, you, the Macintosh team, are the only true artists." "You can forget Apple, forget Lisa." "It's only us." "The Macintosh team." "We have been chosen to seize history." "But first, carpe diem, seize the day." "It's your time to party, people." "Hey, John." "You hear what I heard in there?" " Hey, man, what'd you say about Steve?" " I'm sick of his crap." " What'd you say, man?" " You heard me." "You wanna talk like that about Steve?" "You wanna talk like that about the guy who feeds you, man?" " The guy who feeds you?" " Come on." "Break it up." "Come on." " Hey, hey, guys." " Somebody pull him off." " Never like this at Pepsi-Cola." " Knock it off." "You wanna sell sugar water the rest of your life?" "Steve, I'm worried." "Yeah?" "Yeah, about what's happening." "All the, you know, "them versus us" stuff." "Macintosh versus Apple II." "You don't understand, John." "People need a cause." "We missed Vietnam." "This is our Vietnam." " It's tearing the company apart." " Creation is messy." "You want genius, you get madness." "Two sides of the same coin." "You knew that when I brought you in." "Steve, if you can't trust me, then God help you." "I didn't mention anything about trust, John." "There's another problem." " It's Arlene and the baby." " That's my business." "No, not anymore." "TIME magazine is doing another story." "You don't need the bad press." "Neither do we." " Child's not mine." " Steve, come on." "You took a paternity test." "She is yours." "It's right there in the results." " Paternity tests are a joke." " She's asking for $20,000." " Total, nothing more." " Blackmail." "Steve, you can afford the money." "Give her what she's asking for." " You should give her more." " It's not about the damn money." "Well, what is it, then?" "I don't know." "Mommy, there's a man here." "It's been what, a year?" " Yeah, I've been busy." " I'm sure." " Why'd you come?" " I don't know." "She's looking really good." "You should have come to see her." " You could have brought her by." " Oh, Steve." "Here." "Thank you." "Thank you, Lisa." " Steve Jobs is killing us." "Ballmer!" " Yeah?" "This stuff is crummy." "It's totally crummy." " Windows was supposed to ship last year." " We're ready for you." "Why do I have to do this?" "I have work." "This is stupid." "It's good PR." "It's for The Wall Street Journal." " I don't need PR." " Can you stand a little to the left?" "The hole in that sweater of your shirt." "Turn all the way to the right." "What am I, a trained seal?" " If Apple can do this, why can't we?" " What do you want us to do?" " Whatever you have to." " Meaning what, Bill?" "Meaning ship Windows before the snow falls." " This is Seattle." "It doesn't snow here." " Whatever, Steve." "Mr. Gates, I think you should take off your sweater because it clashes with the background." "The green and blue, it's just not in these days." "It's not in at all." "Sweat stains." "This is awful." " I'd like to get back to work..." " I know, we're almost ready." "Okay, and three, two, one." "Smile, please." "Urgent, Mr. Gates." "Thank you." "What's next?" "Steve Jobs." ""Mr. Jobs demands you be in his office tonight. "" "He's getting paranoid over what we're doing." "Maybe he should be." "Not at the pace you're going." "I think I had a date tonight with Ann." " I thought she was away on business." " She is." "Then how can you have a date?" "Well, I go to a movie here, and then she goes to the same movie in Denver and then we talk on the phone about it afterwards." "Jeez, Bill, I hate to see what happens when you two have sex." "You're stealing from us!" "Steve, we're not stealing from you." "So don't tell me that." "What the hell are you doing, then?" "What is this that I keep hearing about you developing this...?" "What do you call it?" "Windows?" "To compete with us?" " I'm not doing anything against you, Steve." " Don't give me that crap!" "You're pirating the software off our Mac prototypes!" "I trusted you." "If you wanna know everything we're working on, I'll show you." "The weird thing was Steve Jobs was the one guy Bill would never yell at." "It was the opposite." "Steve would order Bill to fly down there and then blow up at him but Bill, he would just wait it out, convince Steve that we were no threat that this Windows stuff was just that much more smoke and mirrors and a few hours later, everything was fine." "I'm telling you, Bill's a genius at it." "And that's all you're working on?" "Of course." " Yeah?" " You know what else?" "Did you read what I said in that newspaper story on us two days ago?" " No." "What'd you say?" " I said when your Macintosh comes out that'd be the only computer I'd want to buy my mom." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Your mom, huh?" " It's like we're one big family, you know?" " Family?" "You know that." "Family." "Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!" "Tell me something." "When did this stop being a business and start being a religion?" "Thank you for your work." "And remember, what we will do in the next year will change the way people think and communicate." "Hey." " Hey." " So enjoy the revolution which we have all created and watch..." "You know, Steve thinks IBM's the enemy." " Unfolds in front of us." "He doesn't get it." "You guys are." "What are you talking about?" "Copies of your Windows just started surfacing here." "You took our stuff, Bill." "You took our stuff, you fooled with it, and you called it your own." "You always insult your guests like this?" "Make no mistake." "We are all one big family." "And part of it are our friends at Microsoft." "Bill?" "Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Gates." "Finally, I wanna show you a preview of the most amazing 60 seconds of film you'll ever see." "And we're showing it only once during the Super Bowl." "So watch and see how we handle IBM." "I mean Big Brother." "See, that commercial was interesting in a lot of ways because when we're at this big hoopla at Apple and their engineers are unpacking all these Japanese computers with the first copies of our stuff, Windows that looks a lot like their stuff..." "I mean, if I had to pick a moment..." "Hey I'm getting some pretty weird vibes here." "Sure we should stay around?" "Sometimes you deal them." "Sometimes you fold them." "Now's not the time to fold." "We shall prevail." "I obviously made a mistake." "I made a mistake." "I trusted." "I believed." "Family." "Maybe a Mafia family." "You turn your back, and you get whacked." "Our guys come back from Japan with this NEC and it's loaded with Microsoft programs." "Your Microsoft programs." "They're almost identical to ours." "There may be some similarities, Steve." "Similarities?" "Similarities?" " Try theft." " Steve, all cars have steering wheels but no one tries to claim that the steering wheel was their invention." " We have a contract, you and I." " Well, you should read it more carefully." "What is this?" "This is like doing business with like, a praying mantis." "You get seduced and then eaten alive afterwards." "Get real, will you?" "You and I are both like guys that have this rich neighbor Xerox that left the door open all the time." "And you go sneaking in to steal the TV set." "Only when you get there, you realize that I got there first." "I got the loot, Steve!" "And you're yelling?" ""That's not fair." "I wanted to try to steal it first. "" "You're too late." "We're better than you are." " We have better stuff." " You don't get it, Steve." "That doesn't matter." "You know, like a lot of things, there always seems to be one last time." "For us, it was when we all came together again for this big party Steve threw for his 30th birthday." "It was just one of those things." "You know, where you try really hard to make something work but somehow it just doesn't." "And maybe you should have known it all along." " Is that really Ella Fitzgerald?" " I have absolutely no idea." "You hear the kind of food they're serving?" " Salmon mousse, goat's cheese." " I can't eat that stuff." " Why don't we go to Denny's?" " Is that Joan Baez with him?" "Wait, wait." "Who's Joan Baez?" " Hi." " John." "I need to talk to you." "It's important." "Okay, John." "Excuse me." "We've got a problem." "We've been asked to make a toast to Steve." "Me?" "Toast Steve?" "No way, man." "Not after what's happened." "No way." "Oh, John, don't look at me." "L..." "Mike, you do it." "After the past few months?" "I don't think so." "John, you're the one." " No." "Not now." "Absolutely no way." " Why not?" " Look, Steve thinks I'm his..." " He thinks you're what?" "Ladies and gentlemen, a toast." "To a remarkable man." "A man who brought me to this company without whom none of this tonight would ever have happened." "Steve Jobs, truly a guiding light." "A man who sees the future." " Hear, hear!" " Steve." "Happy birthday!" "It's weird, but sometimes you find things that are more important to you than the things you think are important." "You know what I mean?" "Maybe it's just getting older." "Okay, guys." "Let's see how we did." "That's a good one." "It's true." "We're learning about the size of the sun versus the size of the Earth." "Hi, Steve." "I think it's gonna be really interesting, I mean, you and me together." "Yeah." "It is."

"Previously on "Stargate SG-1";" "First we must rescue Thor." "He is a prisoner of the Goa'uld." "I am Anubis." "This device... will be implanted into your brain." "It will form a link between your mind and the ship's computer." "Your knowledge will simply be downloaded into our memory banks." " O'Neill?" " Thor?" "I am using the internal communication system to synthesise my voice." "I may be able to rewrite some minor subroutines in the security protocol." "Lord Anubis, the Asgard prisoner is gone." "He will not get far." " You cannot take me with you." " Why not?" "The link between myself and the Goa'uld ship has not been severed." "They managed to remove the device from his brain, but it may be too late." "Apparently he's lapsed into a coma." "Looks like your analysis was right, Sam." "It's dead in space but intact." " Has Anubis done this before?" " This is a first." "Must've been crazy around the SGC when it showed up." "You've no idea." "I have a pretty good idea. I used to be an Air Force general, remember?" "Are we there yet?" "Not yet, sir." "Close enough to do some scans." "Scanned anything yet?" " Nothing, sir." " Nothing?" "It's in a stable orbit, shields and weapons are down, and it's emitting no EM." " Still just kinda sitting' there." " Yes, sir." "If they were going to attack Earth, they'd have done it by now." "What are you smiling at?" "It's just that it's my first time... in space." "Ah." "We'd only begun to consider space travel." "To actually be out here is..." " lt's amazing." " indeed." "Until something goes horribly wrong." "What's our status?" "The ship should be just a few hundred kilometres dead ahead." "There." "Ship ahoy-hoy" "That's incredible." "I´m not 100%, but this could be the same ship Anubis used to kidnap Thor." "Now we know why they haven't attacked." " There's no life signs." " The escape pods have been jettisoned." "The ship has not been damaged in battle." "Power and life supports are functioning normally." "There's nobody on board." "Why would they abandon a perfectly good ship?" "They wouldn't." "Jack, rather than fly into a cargo bay, I recommend we use the transport rings until we know what's goin' on." "Yeah." "Boys." "Let Hammond know we'll have something in a couple of hours." " Jonas, stay with Teal'c." " l don't understand." "I´m sorry." "Stay here." " I´m not going with you?" " Not this time." "I've studied every report, everything on Goa'uld..." "Because I gave you an order, Jonas." "I always have a reason." "I´m not required to explain." "It's a military thing." "Jack." " What is that?" " l can't make it out." "The crew has abandoned ship." "That's good news." "We've all been holding our breath down here." " That is most unwise." " Yes, of course, Teal'c." "Colonel O'Neill is determining if the vessel can be salvaged." "Very well." "Keep me apprised." "Hammond out." "This is strange." "Before they left, they initiated a self-destruct sequence." " The countdown's stuck." " lt doesn't make any sense." "It can only be stopped with a command override, but that would erase the sequence, not suspend it halfway." "is the ship going to explode or not?" "Until we know why it was suspended, we can't be sure it won't start up again." "We need to do a diagnostic." "Carter You and Davis, see if you can disable that self-destruct altogether." " Yes, sir." " Sir." "Are you seriously considering salvaging this ship?" "Why, yes, I am, Jacob." " This ship belonged to Anubis." " Excellent" "What if it's a Trojan Horse?" "Then, apparently they did it wrong." "Jack, none of this makes any sense, so before you slap a US Air Force sticker on the side of this ship..." "Will you stop?" "We gotta check things out to see what happened before we do anything." "And find out why it's in Earth orbit." "Our orders are to recover technology that can help us defend against the Goa'uld." "I'd say this ship falls under that heading, wouldn't you?" " OK." " Thank you." "Sometimes I worry that you're gonna get my favourite planet wiped out." "Yes." "What planet is that?" "If they wanted to scuttle this ship and the self-destruct didn't work, their next logical option would be to sabotage the hyperdrive." "Friesen, let's go." "I'll do a systems check from here." "Find out what that sound is." "What's the problem?" " Dad, this is Sam." " What's up?" "We're going to the computer core but can't access this corridor." "All right, hang on." "The whole section's sealed off and the life support's been shut down." " Why would they do that?" " l have no idea." "I'll see if I can open it up and get the ventilation going again." "Colonel, we should also check on the shield generators." " Jacob?" " How's the hyperdrive?" "Friesen says the engine checks out but he wants to look at the shield generators." "Does he say why?" " Why?" "To see them." " To see them?" "Never mind." "If this ship destroyed an Asgard ship, then its shields were superior to any..." " We're in." " Just be careful, Sam." "Yes, Dad." "Whoa" "Something bad definitely happened here." "Dad, we're outside the computer core." "The door's been hit by several staff blasts." "It's the only door I can't open." "The circuits are fused." "It's almost as if there was a deliberate overload." "It looks more and more like a saboteur on board." "Someone damaged the computer and sealed it off so it couldn't be repaired." "Whatever happened, I can't get you inside." " Colonel, have you been monitoring?" " Affirmative." "On my way." "I have to blow something up." "Head back to the peltak, see if Jacob needs any help." "Shall we?" " Whoo That was loud" " What?" "Jacob, we're in." "This is fantastic." "No." "This is fantastic." "Shield generators..." "Hello?" "Colonel O'Neill?" "Why would he bring me here if I´m not allowed to contribute anything?" "This is your first mission." "It may take time for Colonel O'Neill to gain confidence in you." " So it was the same for you?" " No, it was not." "Oh..." "You know, I heard the rumour that..." "I only got this assignment because Colonel O'Neill didn't want a Russian on the team." "Such rumours are meaningless." "O'Neill would not have chosen you if he did not believe that one day you would be an effective member of SG-1 ." "Thanks, Teal'c." "I really appreciate that." "Those of us who aren't originally from Earth have got to stick together, right?" "Are you suggesting an alien conspiracy?" "No" "Oh" "Of course, yes. I was warned about your occasional use of humour." "You got me." "No conspiracy." "Computer log confirms that this is the same ship Thor was aboard." "And?" "It could explain a lot, sir." "Thor's brain was directly linked to this computer." "Anubis may have underestimated the power of an Asgard's mind." "And?" "It's possible that Thor was able to rewrite some of the ship's programming." "Maybe even leave something behind." " Like a virus?" " Exactly." "By interfering with navigation, life support, a complex virus could have made Anubis abandon ship." "Might explain why the self-destruct got stuck." "He could've generated a new subroutine that sent this ship to our solar system after it was abandoned, like a... gift." "I know it sounds a little wacky, sir, but the more I think about it, the more it seems like the best explanation." "Wishful thinking." "If this ship wasn't intended for us to find, why did it travel halfway across the galaxy all by itself?" "For that matter, why didn't the self-destruct just go off?" "I doubt a virus will know the difference between us and the Goa'uld." "There has to be a way to disable it or Thor wouldn't have sent the ship here." "Dr Friesen, this is Major Carter." "We could use your assistance in the computer core." "Friesen, come in." " Dad, have you seen Dr Friesen?" " Negative." "You scientists Stay here. I'll find him." " lt's a big ship, sir." " l think I know where he went." "It's comin' out of the ship's intercom." " What is?" " The sound we keep hearing." "You hear that?" "There's a pattern to it." "Almost like distorted words." "Let's check it out." "Carter, I want you and Davis back in the peltak with Jacob." " What's going on, sir?" " Friesen's dead." "Jacob, come in." "Jacob, do you read?" "Jacob, come in." "Jacob?" "Dad" "Colonel, we've got another problem." "I'll live." "Go, go." "We're decelerating out of orbit." "The drive controls are disabled." "We've got no way of altering course." "We're gonna crash." "Teal'c, come in." "You are approaching Earth's atmosphere." "You know, we noticed that." "You'll have to ring us outta here." "Standing by." "I estimate impact between 500 and 1 ,000 miles west-southwest of Alaska." "The energy released will be massive." "There could be a tidal wave." "Raise the shields and set inertial dampening to maximum." "That way the ship should survive in one piece." "Done." "That's all I can do." "Teal'c, we're heading to the ring room." "Wait, wait, wait." "Teal'c?" "We have been attacked by Jaffa from the mothership." "What's your situation?" "They are no longer a threat to us but the ship has been damaged." "The crystals that receive ring transmissions were destroyed." "There's insufficient time to dock aboard the mothership." "Well, I guess we're goin' in." "The official line is that early this morning, at 0800 hours, NORAD tracked a meteor." "It entered the Earth's atmosphere and landed in the north Pacific." "So far, no word from the Chinese government, but I´m sure we'll hear from them soon." "As for the Russians, I have a call going through to Colonel Chekov in ten minutes." "Yes, sir. I'll keep you apprised of any further developments." "Gentlemen, it's good to have you back." "We've located the mothership." "Sonar readings suggest it's still intact." " Then they may still be alive?" " We're assuming so." "There's a Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle en route, but we have to figure out how the crew will access the mothership." "Its escape pods are jettisoned through pressurised tubes." "Maybe one of them could be used as a point of access." "Sounds like our best shot." "Teal'c and I would like to join the rescue operation." " There's a plane waiting." " Thank you, sir." "I should've been with them." "You believe you could have prevented this?" "Maybe." "You don't think so?" "It was an ambush." "Your presence would have made little difference." "Like on the cargo ship?" "You did not know Jaffa would ring aboard." "I stood there." "You saved my life like Dr Jackson did on my planet." "I didn't do a thing." "It is my understanding that it was largely your idea that led to the disposal of the other Stargate before it could be detonated." " You saved the lives of millions." " That was an intellectual exercise." "I´m talking about knowing what you can do in the heat of the moment." "One can never be certain until the opportunity arises." "Well, so far, my track record is not great." "Perhaps that is so." "But there are many battles left to be fought, Jonas Quinn." "How ya doin'?" "Aside from the burns, I got a broken collarbone." "Selmak's working on it." "You know, for guys with no life signs, those Jaffa did a bit of damage." "They must have been trapped in the section of the ship that was sealed off." "To stay alive, they would have gone into a deep state of kelno'reem, slowing down their heart rate to one or two beats per minute." "In that condition, the cargo ship's sensors weren't sensitive enough to pick 'em up." "Think there are any more running around?" "I doubt it." "My guess is the three that attacked me were on the computer-core level." "I let 'em out when I opened the door to allow Sam inside." "We've got life support operating at 50%." "Won't be too comfortable, but at least we won't freeze to death... right away." " Can we fix the engines?" " Not a chance." "And that's not our only problem." "We found evidence of structural damage, probably a result of the impact." " How bad?" " I´m not sure." "The exterior pressure's pretty severe, especially on the lower levels." "It could compromise the hull." "Well, help will be on the way." "There's also the self-destruct sequence frozen halfway through its countdown." " You haven't turned that off yet?" " No, sir." "I´m not sure we should even try." "Why?" "First the door to the computer core was locked." "When the Jaffa tried to get in, the section was sealed off and life support shut down." " By who?" " lt's "whom"." "Actually, sir, it's more like "what"." " What?" " The virus Thor left behind." "Exactly." "What if it was trying to defend itself?" "So Thor leaves behind a virus that forces Anubis to abandon the ship, and this virus defends itself against the Jaffa Anubis left behind to blow the ship?" "Or maybe it was left here so we could find it." "Sir, I'd like to return to the computer core." "I'll go with you." "Sir, we just got word from the task force." "The DSRV is in the water." "Major Davis is right. lt is definitely coming through the ship's intercom." "Maybe the virus is trying to talk to us." "What the hey?" "Dad, we've got evidence of flooding here." "Stand by." "There's been a hull breach on the engineering level." "We're nowhere near engineering." "Sea water penetrated to the access shaft, and now the pressure's pushing it up through the core of the ship." " We're flooding from the inside." " Dad, the door's closing behind us lt's a security measure." "All doors are sealed around the breach." "I'll try to open it from here." " lt's a bit chilly." " Dad, how's it coming with that door?" "This could take some time, Sam." "We have visual contact." "Sorry, sir, I can't bypass the system locally." "Jacob?" "I can't get access to the security program." " I´m goin' down there." " The local controls are locked out." "I´m gonna try to find a back door to the program." "How long's that gonna take?" "I´m looking at major shrinkage here." "I don't know." "This is kind of a unique situation." "Give me a few minutes." "How long will it take for this thing to fill up?" "A few more minutes." "Yep." "Approaching point of entry." "Next time we crash our brand-new mothership, let's do it in the tropics." "It wouldn't make a difference." "At this depth all water is ice-cold." " Shallower water, then." "Shallower." " Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind." "Or we could just not crash at all." "Be nice to keep our new mothership more than a couple of hours." "Yes, sir." " We could blow the door." " No." "The concussion would kill them." "They'll be dead if we don't." "We have to do something" "What do you think I´m trying to do, Major?" "Your dad's cuttin' it a little close" "I can't do it." "Sam," "I´m sorry." " What is that, Jacob?" " Security protocol's been erased." "Jack, Sam, come in" "Jacob, this is Teal'c." "We are on board the ship." "Jack and Sam are in trouble, main computer level." " That's two levels down this way." " Remain here." "Dad, this is Sam." "We're OK." "Yes" "Thank God Sam, you really had me worried." "Tell him I take back everything I was thinking while I was underwater." "Whatever you did, it worked." "The security protocol erased itself." " How is that possible?" " l don't know." "Who cares?" "Let's go." "O'Neill." "Are you all right?" "A little wet, a little chilly." "The knee gets stiff in cold water." "We have a rescue submarine docked." " We can't leave yet." " Yes, we can." "No, sir." "Something else is definitely going on here." "Sir." "A message from the task force." "The DSRV pilot reports they made contact." "SG-1's OK, but Dr Friesen's dead." " Did they get them off the ship?" " Not yet." "They're staying aboard for some reason." "It's definitely a voice." "I'll see if I can clean it up." " Why would it be so distorted?" " Anubis probably tried to shut it off." "Carter?" "The security program that locked us in that corridor didn't shut down by itself." "You think this virus Thor left in the computer is acting intelligently?" "If that door hadn't opened, Colonel O'Neill and I would have drowned." "It knows who you are." "I got it." "I am using the internal communication system to synthesise my voice." "I am using the internal communication system to synthesise my voice." "Thor spoke those words to O'Neill and I when we were imprisoned here." "Maybe what we've been calling a virus isn't a virus at all." "Maybe it's Thor." "We got him off this ship months ago." "Not before Anubis downloaded his mind into the computer core." "If his consciousness remained intact, he would be an independent entity operating within the system." " His mind took control of the vessel." " Way to go, Thor." "The Asgard said Thor was on life support with little chance he'd come out of it." "So?" "If we can download his consciousness from the computer, the Asgard can transfer it into a new cloned body." "If that's what you wanna do, Sam, move fast." "The computer core isn't flooded yet, but it will be." "Wait. lf Thor is in control of this ship, he's keeping the self-destruct on hold." "We remove that consciousness, the countdown will start up again." "How long will we have when the countdown resumes?" "Approximately 1 7 minutes." "Plenty of time to get out of here after we've got Thor." "I know Thor was a friend of yours, but this is a Goa'uld mothership." "If we allow it to blow up, there'll be nothing to salvage." "Jack, this ship is never gonna fly again." "Having the supreme commander of the Asgard owe you one is more valuable." "Yeah." "All right." "Next mothership we keep, OK?" "Jonas, take Davis and Jacob back to the sub." "Wait there." " Colonel, I'd like to assist Major Carter..." " Jonas." " l'll take them back to the sub." " Thank you." "Here he is." "You sure you got all of him in there?" "He's a smart guy, you know." " The self-destruct has been reactivated." " Let's go." "This door should not be closed." "Dang." "Corridor must've flooded." " Jacob?" " Yeah, what's goin' on?" "Our exit is blocked." "We need another way around." "All the other passageways into that section were already flooded." "There is no other way around" "I'll go back to the peltak, see what I can do." "Negative." "Get that sub to a safe distance." "We'll think of somethin'." "Understood." "I got nothing." "How are you doin'?" " There's only one other way off this level." " The glider bays." "We can do that?" "I've no idea." "OK." "The ship's self-destruct is activated." "We need to get the DSRV as far away as possible." "Jack, we're at the sub." "What's your status?" "Here's our plan, Jacob." "We're gonna take a couple of gliders." "A glider isn't designed to operate underwater." " lt's our only shot." " All right, all right." "You'll have to activate the compartment's force field to stop the flooding." "Those systems went offline after the crash." "I know." "I´m trying to reroute the power from here." "What is it?" "The force fields allow ships in and out without depressurising the compartment." "If she can't get it online, she can't open the doors without flooding the hangar." "Right." "Sam?" "Jacob, I want you to get that sub to a minimum safe distance." " Understood." "Let's go." " There's a control panel on this deck." " l can reroute the power." " How do you know?" "I've gone over mothership schematics a dozen times." "I´m quick." " Yeah?" "Well, where is it?" " Don't wait for me." "Jonas" "No pressure, Carter." "Plenty of time." "On the contrary, O'Neill." "Lots and lots of time." "Yes, sir." "Jack?" "Jacob, will you please get outta here?" "We are, but Jonas went off to try to get the force field online from a relay panel." "Listen... good luck." "What'd he say?" "We are being advised that in seven minutes the ship will be destroyed." "Ah." "See?" "Plenty of time." "This isn't tied into the primary system." "I can't reroute the power from here." "The force field just came online." " Nice - lt wasn't me." "Jonas." "OK." "Wait Wait" " Did it work?" " We're about to find out." "Powering engines." " Listen, if we don't survive this, thanks." " You're welcome." "Opening glider-bay doors." "Nice." "Hang on." "Whoa" " Everybody all right?" " Yes, sir." "We're fine." "This is Jacob." "We're seasick down here but we're in one piece." " Glad to hear it." " What about Jonas?" "All members of SG-1 present and accounted for." "Teal'c, take lead." "Are you smiling?" "First time in a death glider." "Oh." "Well..." "Subtitling by Visiontext" "ENHOH"

"Are you okay?" "Rosie." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Rosie." "Hey." "Are you okay?" "Come here." "What's up?" "Hey." "Hey, stop crying." "My Rosie." "I can stay if you want." "I won't go." "No." "You're a fuckin' hypocrite." "You know that." "Does it matter?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it does matter." "I'm glad he's dead." "So am I." "Who's going to take over?" "Don't know." "Nidge I suppose." "Daddy, can you play with me?" "Can't buddy." "Daddy has to go to work." "Go and play on the trampoline outside." "Daddy will be out in a second." "That's what it's there for." "Go on." "I'll be out as soon as I finish my breakfast." "Good boy." "Don't forget to zip it up at the side." "This one more or less says it was you." "That's a rubbish picture they have of me." "How are they getting away with this?" "I don't know." "This is all speculation bullshit." "That paper says it was me." "This one says I'm his trusted lieutenant." "It's all shit." "Will they get who done it do you think?" "How would I know?" "Do you think it was yer man whose wife killed herself?" "Do I think what?" "That he killed John Boy." "Jesus Christ." "I don't know." "I don't know." "I honestly don't know." "Fran could've done it." "He could've ordered it from prison." "I'd say most likely it was him but I don't know." "But it must've been him." "Why must it be him?" "How would you know?" "Cos you said John Boy had someone bomb her house." "I didn't say that." "I know nothing Trish, understand that." "The place could be bugged." "Is it?" "No but you don't know." "Do you think they're listening to us now?" "No." "For fuck sake." "I'm saying don't be saying you know this and that." "You know nothing." "I know nothing." "If you want me to come, I'll come." "No, the baby would be crying and everything." "No-one's expecting you to come so fuck it." "Who cares." "We need to think of a name Nigel." "We can't keep calling it the baby all the time." "Sure we don't real name it till the christening." "Exactly." "The christening is next week." "Don't be worried." "We'll think of something." "A Reading From the Book of Lamentations." "My soul is deprived of peace." "I have forgotten what happiness is." "I tell myself my future is lost, all that I'd hoped for from the Lord." "The thought of my homeless poverty is wormwood and gall." "Remembering it over and over leaves my soul downcast within me." "But I will call this to mind as my reason to have hope." "This is word of the Lord." "ALL:" "Thanks be to God." "I am the resurrection and the life, sayeth the Lord." "Those who believe in Me, even though they die, will live." "Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die." "Rosie, it's me." "It's me." "Just call me back, will you?" "Don't worry about it." "She'll get over it." "You didn't say anything to her, did you?" "No I didn't." "What's wrong with her anyway?" "I don't know." "Come on, we'll get a few drinks into us." "I know from Trish, sometimes it's better just to leave them alone." "Come on!" "We'll have a bit of craic." "Alright." "Alright." "Don't want today to be a total waste." "So the devil says do you like drinking." "Fuckin sure I do, says Paddy." "You'll like Tuesday so, says the devil." "Get locked and no hangover cos you're already dead." "Sound, says Paddy." "You like drugs, says the devil." "Fuckin' sure I do, says Paddy." "Then you'll have a ball on Wednesday." "Coke, weed, whatever the fuck you want." "Bring it on, says Paddy." "The devil goes." "One more thing." "When you were alive did you ever go queer." "Would you fuck off, says Paddy." "Why?" "The devil goes, I don't think you'll like Thursday so." "Hey." "Howya Debbie." "Okay?" "Good yeah." "You?" "Great." "Sorry." "That came out wrong." "I didn't mean that, you know." "Obviously." "Getting on with it." "Where are you now?" "Like where are you living?" "Why?" "You want to come over and visit?" "I've been all over the place." "Staying here and there." "Staying a bit with my folks, till I get sorted." "But it's not really working out." "So.." "I'm staying a bit in Aido's gaff as well." "So I heard." "Patch things up, did you?" "You mean the goldfish?" "That was just an accident." "I didn't know you could overfeed them." "No, I mean robbing his gear on him." "That was a joke." "Well not a joke but.." "I think Aido's glad he's not dead." "He thought when they came in the pub it was for him." "Yeah, I know." "I was there." "Sorry about John Boy." "I'm not." "I'm not supposed to say that but I'm not." "Can I get a smoke off you?" "The start of it though, it was different." "He was all.." "Anyways." "Aido treats you better, does he?" "Fuck you Tommy." "Irish car bomb." "That's disgusting." "What's in it?" "I don't know." "Do you want another one?" "No." "I'm having another." "Alright?" "Hiya." "How's your boy holding up?" "He's enjoying the free bar anyway." "Yeah." "Where were you?" "Outside having a smoke." "You'll be late for your own funeral." "What are you drinking." "Get us a pint." "Paul, get this fella a pint." "Thanks Nidge." "How long do you want me to keep the free bar open?" "All day but funeral only." "Make sure to look after John Boy's da." "Got you." "Does she want a drink?" "No." "She'll be alright." "She's missing her daddy." "She'll be alright, will she?" "Yeah." "Are you sure you don't want a drink?" "No, thanks." "I better go and talk to this aul' fella." "Alright Jack." "Nidge." "How's she doing?" "I'm not sure." "I just asked her if she wants a drink but she doesn't." "Sure she can have one after." "I got them to free bar going." "My aul' fella is buried up beyond as well." "Howya Jack." "I'll be over in a minute." "He wanted to be buried beside the stream in case he got thirsty." "Good." "Get you topped up there Jack." "Tommy." "Do you want a car bomb?" "Yeah, go on." "This is fucking great." "Go easy with the shots or someone will think you're celebrating." "But I'm not." "I better head." "Rosie's not answering her phone." "Will you relax." "I'll be back in a bit." "I know he made provision for you cos I talked to him." "I don't care about the money." "Alright Dave." "Alright Nidge." "I was saying John would've had a few bob put aside for Kayleigh." "Yeah." "They already took the car be bought off her." "I know it definitely has it sorted." "It'd be great, for her education." "I'll find out." "Rosie." "Where will I bring him then?" "Just bring him." "I don't know where he lives." "Sort it out." "Are yous off home?" "Yeah." "I'm going to get her home." "It's been a rough day." "Yeah." "For all of us." "We'll all miss your da." "Look after yourselves." "If there's anything you need, anything." "Come here." "I'll try and sort out where that money is and all." "No." "Maybe he was expecting it." "The whole funeral he planned himself." "I thought he'd have a fancier coffin." "One of them American jobs." "Waste of money." "I'd be the same." "Nothing wrong with an Irish box." "Remember the Michael Jackson one." "It was gold." "Cost $100,000 or something." "You'd be better off spending it on a big party before you went." "Did he pick the music and all?" "Yeah." "If it was mine I'd have Irish stuff." "Luke." "The Dubliners." "I've my funeral song picked out and all." "What is it?" "Guns Roses." "Mass is over, priest does his thing." "Holy water on the coffin and bang!" "Welcome to the fuckin' jungle." "Alright Aido." "What did the brief say?" "He says cos I wasn't in the room there's a good chance I'll get off." "They have fingerprints in the room but the brief could say" "I was at a party 2 months before and they can't prove I wasn't." "You jammy bollocks." "How's it going with the other?" "It's rough you know." "I've been there before." "I can do it." "I have the willpower if I want to." "You need to get rid of that mad one Aido." "She'll drag you back down again." "I don't give a bollocks." "I don't even fuckin' like her." "See what she done to John Boy." "Took his eye off the ball, he did." "She'll drag you back down." "She will if she's still banging up." "I think she's off it as well." "You'd be better off without her." "She's mad in the head." "Tommy knows what I'm talking about." "Am I right?" "Tell him." "Yeah, she's bad news." "Go on." "Go on." "Okay." "Have a little bit of water." "Good girl." "Okay, have to cool you down." "I'm going to open this window." "Mammy, I'm freezing." "I know honey." "I'm just getting the doctor." "Shit." "Darren, it's me." "The emergency doctor can't come out till later." "I'm going to take her to AE." "I was just.." "Doesn't matter." "Just call me, will you." "BUMPING NOISE.." "Hello." "Okay girls." "Come on, we're going to the doctors." "Howya." "Come on in." "Is Nidge in?" "He is, yeah." "Nidge!" "Can I get a drink of water please?" "Sorry I'm late Nidge." "Held up with a case." "I'm off to take a piss." "Now." "Tap water alright for you." "Sorry Mary." "I had the phone on silent." "Is she okay?" "Yeah, she's fine." "Her temperature was spiking." "The call out doctor couldn't come till later so I took them to AE." "She's alright but?" "Yeah." "Just thought I should get her seen." "Kids in bed then?" "Yeah, they're wrecked." "We were waiting a couple of hours." "I'm sorry." "You're fine." "I'm still a little freaked out from the other day." "No sign of anyone then?" "No." "What?" "I know this is going to sound paranoid." "What?" "I keep thinking there's someone out there." "Outside?" "I thought there was someone in the house earlier." "It's normal after all that to feel a bit paranoid." "No, it's something else." "I can feel it." "Someone watching me." "Have you seen anybody else hanging around?" "No." "It's like goosebumps." "In a panic?" "No." "That was a good send off you gave him." "Hadn't seen his da in years." "Since we were kids." "He's fairly shuck up, I have to say." "What the fuck were you saying to his daughter?" "What?" "John Boy's daughter, what were you saying to her?" "Nothing Nidge." "Don't shake your head like that at me, you prick." "Playing dumb, is it?" "I'm sorry Nidge." "I was only talking to her." "It's none of your business." "I don't know what I done but I swear to God, I didn't say anything to her." "It was the funeral, you know." "Are you fuckin' thick or what?" "You know what I'm talking about." "You mean the money?" "Yeah, about the money." "You know well that's what I mean." "Are you trying to make a fool out of me?" "No." "I swear to God." "You're ducking and diving there, you scumbag." "Making out I'm not hearing what I heard?" "No." "I'm sorry." "What the fuck has any of it got to do with you?" "I thought.." "I didn't.." "I thought, I didn't what?" "John had said he wanted to make sure she was looked after." "See she has everything she needs." "What does she need?" "She has a ma." "She has a stepda paid for her all these years." "There's her family." "She doesn't need anything." "It's not John Boy's fucking money to pass on." "Understand that?" "You haven't a clue Dave." "I seen you there talking all this up." "She's only a kid but her ma's there thinking she's won the lotto." "Wetting herself she was and you the one getting her all hot." "Need to get with the programme Dave." "Talking about shit you know nothing about." "I'm sorry." "I was out of order and I apologise." "You want a drink?" "Please Rosie." "Darren, it's not fair turning up like this." "Come on Rosie." "Please, five minutes." "Five minutes." "Is it still sore?" "Yeah." "A bit." "Do you want me to wait till tomorrow?" "No." "Do it." "What do you think?" "It's beautiful." "We're always talking about down the road." "Down the road we'll be happy." "Down the road will be perfect but it never is." "Were you not happy living in the flat?" "I was." "What's the problem then?" "Cos it only lasts a few days, a week." "It's like the honeymoon and then the honeymoon's over." "You're back doing your thing again." "Well say something." "You wanted to talk so talk." "I don't know what to say." "I'll head back in so." "No." "I mean I don't know what to say." "You know what I want." "I want you and that's it." "I want kids with you and I want no-one else." "No-one." "I've said all this to you so I don't know what to say cos if you don't think the same then there's nothing I can do." "That's not fair." "Why isn't it fair?" "Cos it wasn't my decision." "You left." "You're the one with the problem." "You know why I left." "No I don't." "Cos of what you've done." "What have I done?" "I can't even say it." "I asked you and you lied to me." "Swore blind." "You don't think it matters cos if someone was a bad person but it does Darren." "I'd be lying next to you in the bed and instead of thinking this beautiful man is next to me and I'm going to have beautiful babies with him, I'd be thinking of.." "What?" "I'd be thinking of corpses rotting in the ground." "What was that for?" "Nothing." "You all sorted for the christening?" "Yeah, totally ahead of myself." "It's not like me at all." "What?" "I'm happy." "That's good." "How's the little fella?" "I can't believe how chilled he is." "That's cos he has my genes." "How are you getting on without John Boy?" "It's different." "John Boy got messy there, getting paranoid and all." "Pissed a lot of people off." "I never thought I'd end up running the show." "I don't know." "I don't mean to be ungrateful cos he gave me a start but it's easier without him, you know." "I think I can do it on my own." "What do you keep smiling for?" "It suits you, being in charge." "Turns you on, does it?" "Maybe a bit." "BABY CRIES." "Fuck." "Leave it, he'll be alright." "Darren, I know it's him." "I saw him." "You're sure?" "Yeah." "It was only for a second but I know 100% it was him." "It's beyond weird." "What's he doing?" "I don't know." "I'd say he's harmless." "Darren, it's not harmless." "It's totally freaking me out." "I'm saying I don't think he means any harm." "What do we do?" "I'll talk to him." "And what, he'll deny it?" "Maybe but if I tell him he's freaking you out he'll stop." "I know he will." "Talk to him then." "Yeah, I will." "Sorry to be turning up here Martin." "I didn't want to ring on the mobile." "Little fella does the GAA, does he?" "Mine does the soccer." "Don't worry." "I only wanted to have a quick word." "Come on." "We'll walk and talk." "5 minutes is all." "Okay." "You heard about John Boy." "Course you did." "Terrible." "We all got a shock." "All I wanted to do is have a quick chat, let you know I'll be taking over." "Sorting you out and all." "The thing is, I have been under a lot of stress." "At work and everything." "I don't know how much use I'm going to be able be to you." "I'm on traffic." "Don't worry about that." "I won't be hassling you for speeding tickets." "I still want to keep this going." "I know John Boy's gone but I'm sure you still have all your bills." "School uniforms and whatever." "No update on who might've clipped John?" "No." "I heard it was yer man Fran ordered it done from prison." "There's a bit of history there." "You might pass that on if you get a chance." "I don't want you going round to Mary's house." "What do you mean?" "You know what I'm talking about." "You can lie to me or you can tell me what the fuck you're doing." "Mary's completely freaked." "So are you going to tell me what you're doing?" "Cos I thought we were mates and here you are scaring the shit out of my sister." "Stalking her like a fuckin' serial killer." "I wasn't stalking her." "What were you doing then?" "Luke." "I need you to stop this." "It won't happen again Darren." "What the fuck were you doing?" "If you like her you talk to her." "You don't be fuckin' spying in her windows." "With only her and the kids in the house, what the fuck are you, a pervert?" "No, I'm not a pervert." "You're a peeping Tom, are you?" "No, I'm not." "You better tell me what the story is or you'll get a breeze block across the head." "I'm sorry." "You're a fuckin' liar and all." "All that shit about staying in the house and getting your night goggles on to guard her." "And it was you all along!" "What were you doing?" "It wasn't Mary." "She saw you." "Are you saying she's lying?" "I thought you said it was you." "It was me but it's not that." "It's not about Mary." "What is it then?" "I only do it sometimes for the company." "I don't mean to scare people or anything." "I just.." "When I was in the care home, sometimes I used to go out for a gander." "This one time I was looking in the back window of a house." "I was going to rob it and this family were all there." "They were watching the telly together." "Laughing and everything." "I don't know." "I do that sometimes." "Being bored and all." "Sitting here on my own." "I feel sort of good afterwards, you know." "Like I knew them." "Or like they're my family." "I get lonely sometimes." "That's all it is." "I'm embarrassed saying it but that's all it is." "And what about Mary?" "Why Mary?" "I don't know." "I was walking around and I walked up that way." "I thought I'd look in." "I didn't mean to freak her out." "I'm embarrassed." "I'm fucking mortified." "I'll say sorry and all to her." "You can't do it again." "No." "I don't want you to go near the house." "I understand Darren." "Whatever you say." "I need you to swear that it won't happen again." "I swear." "I swear Darren, it won't happen again." "I'm sorry." "Alright." "Hiya." "Go on through Darren." "He's in the garden." "I got this for the little fella." "Thanks, you're very good." "Go on through." "I'll get you a beer." "Alright Nidge." "Darren." "This is fuckin' shit." "She has caterers in." "She still wants me doing the barbecue." "There she is now." "Babe, will you get someone else to do this?" "I need a chat with Darren." "Yeah." "Go on ahead." "Cheers Trish." "Come on." "Why she couldn't have them do it in the first place, I don't know." "Don't get married is my advice." "Sorry I couldn't make it to the church." "Don't worry about it." "It was family only really." "I got you this." "It's not the baby's present, I gave that to Trish." "I saw this in the pound shop and thought it'd be a laugh." "Here." "King Nidge." "I like the sound of that I have to say." "So what did you end up calling him?" "John." "I know." "It was in the family and fuck it, I figured.." "It's one more thing to throw the cops off the scent." "I've never been so scared in my life." "I was terrified." "I thought he was going to kill me, kill the kids." "There was nothing I could do." "I felt totally powerless." "If you're sure it was him.." "Who else would it have been?" "I'm sure it was him." "I'm not saying it wasn't but.." "What?" "What?" "It's a problem." "I know it's a problem." "It's a problem problem." "I already talked to him so it's a problem." "I said it already so straight away he goes back doing it." "It means he doesn't care." "Fuckin' freak." "Why me?" "What did I ever do?" "All I was was nice to him." "I felt sorry for him." "I know." "There's no point in me talking to him again." "Fuck no." "It'd only make it worse." "What about the guards?" "No?" "What do you think?" "Then what?" "Darren, the next time.." "Unless you were here every second of the day and even then.." "He's disturbed." "I know." "He's not going to get any better." "If he does it again you don't know what he'd do." "I brought him into the house Mary." "Mammy, I can't sleep." "How's my princess?" "I don't want it to happen again." "He's a freak, you know." "Yeah." "He's the only other person who knows about John Boy, bar you." "It might be for the best anyway." "Nip it in the bud." "I don't know." "He's gone in the head I think." "Some fellas are like that." "They have some kink in them." "I was thinking it through." "Just give him some money to go away." "What would you do that for?" "Because he's been through the wars." "He's never had a break in his life." "Maybe he'd be glad of the money." "Sure he would and he'd head off no problem." "Cheers Darren." "I'll get to boat to Holyhead in the morning." "Piss the money away, he would and he'd be back in no time." "Where do you think the first place he'd turn?" "Back to your sister's house and he'd have her dead in the bed." "You know that." "There's only one thing you can do with a sick dog." "Bring him to the fuckin' vets and get him put down." "I feel so stupid Ma." "Come here to me sweetheart." "I think you're better off without him." "I thought we'd be happy." "But I know he done it." "I asked him and he swore blind he didn't." "That wasn't him." "I wanted to believe him." "I don't know why I was asking him cos I knew." "I knew he done it." "I'd look at him when he was asleep and I'd think, I have this beautiful damaged angel next to me." "I know he loves me and I love him and I love him and I don't care." "I don't care what he's done to people who are bad anyway." "But there was this little part of me knowing I was only codding myself that it didn't matter." "Because it does." "I can't prove it but I know." "It's got him." "I look into his eyes and I don't see my Darren any more." "He's just not there." "He's gone." "He's gone." "I don't want you saying about this to anyone else." "Darren?" "Yeah." "Luke?" "Yeah." "John Boy had the right idea." "Don't trust the banks." "Put your money in a hole." "Safest place for it." "I've never been up there before." "No?" "Ah, it's beautiful." "You're in for a treat." "Pine trees and everything." "Do we not need the shovels, no?" "Ah yeah." "Good man Luke." "Do you have a map or anything?" "For John Boy's treasure." "I know where it is." "He buried guns up here before." "It was his lawyer told me." "Wanted to give it to John Boy's daughter." "Fuck that." "There should be an empty paint tin near it, Luke." "Is it near the path?" "Yeah, it's here somewhere." "Nothing no?" "No." "I swear it was around here." "Will we have a smoke?" "Darren?" "No." "Luke, smoke?" "Yeah." "Give us a drag of that." "Is he dead?" "I'd say so." "That'll do it." "Here?" "Yeah, why not." "The state of my runners." "Foxes smell this far under?" "Yeah." "We're nearly done." "Fuck this." "I need a drink of something." "Where are you going?" "I've a bottle of water in the van." "You want some water?" "Yeah." "This is big enough Darren." "No-one's going to find him this deep." "We're nearly there." "See the state of him at John Boy's funeral?" "Slobbering all over the place and cracking jokes he was." "I swear, I was looking at him thinking this fucker has one over on me." "The way he was going on you wouldn't know if he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut." "You know what I mean." "What?" "Nothing." "We should get in him, get out of here before it gets dark." "You take his arms." "Right." "Come on." "Hang on." "Right. 1, 2, 3, upsy daisy." "Here Trish, have you seen my new runners?" "Trish!" "What?" "Have you seen my new runners?" "I put them in the shoe cupboard." "Airport is it?"

"Legend has it, in the mystic land of Prydain... there was once a king so cruel and so evil... that even the gods feared him." "Since no prison could hold him... he was thrown alive into a crucible of molten iron." "There, his demonic spirit was captured... in the form of a great Black Cauldron." "For uncounted centuries, the Black Cauldron lay hidden, waiting... while evil men searched for it... knowing whoever possessed it would have the power... to resurrect an army of deathless warriors... and with them, rule the world." "There's something wrong." "I do feel it in my bones." "The fair folk knew it too." "You don't see any of them around." "The Horned King, that black-hearted devil." "What's he waiting for?" "Yes, yes, cat." "I know you want your breakfast... but, just now, thinking is more important." "Oh, oh!" "Taran!" "The pot is boiling over, Taran!" "Oh, Dallben." "I was just thinking." "What if the war's over, and I never had a chance to fight?" "And a good thing too." "War isn't a game." "People get hurt." "But I'm not afraid." "Ou-Ou-Ouch!" "Yes, yes, there you are." "If the Horned King ever returns... you'll have a great deal more to worry about... than a burned finger." "No, no, no, cat." "That is not for you." "It's for Hen Wen." "Hen Wen, Hen Wen." "It's always Hen Wen!" "And one day, my boy, you may learn why." "Now, now, no more dreaming." "You have chores to do." "Yes, sir." "Oh, he's so anxious... and so blind to the dangers ahead." "Oh!" "Look, look, cat." "You're in luck." "Just enough left for you." "Oh." "Dallben doesn't understand." "I'm not a little boy any more." "I should be doing heroic deeds for Prydain... not waiting hand and foot on a spoiled..." "Hey!" "Oh, all right, Hen." "I didn't mean it." "You'd better eat it." "Dallben made it especially for you." "Is this to be my life?" "Pampering a pig?" "I'm a warrior, not a pig keeper." "Dallben thinks I'd be afraid, but I wouldn't." "All I need is a... is a chance... and I could be a famous warrior." "Look at me, Hen!" "I can do it!" "Hah!" "Even you're afraid." "Do you challenge me?" "Run, you cowards." "There you are." "His Majesty, the Horned King." "So, we meet at last." "Hah!" "Even the Horned King shakes with fear." "See, Hen?" "Everybody runs from the famous Taran of Caer Dallben!" "Prydain's finest warrior... draws his last breath." "Dallben." "Not quite the blade for a hero." "I-I..." "I was..." "Uh!" "It's just that we were..." "Oh, uh, Hen Wen got dirty." "Oh, I see." "Another dream, Taran?" "But, Dallben, won't I ever be anything but an assistant pig keeper?" "She's a special pig, Taran." "Now give her a nice bath." "Well, Hen, it looks as though..." "I'll still be an assistant pig keeper when I'm as old as Dallben." "You like that, don't you?" "Now for the part you like best." "Hey, come on, Hen." "I haven't finished scrubbing your ba..." "Hen, w-w-what's the matter?" "Calm down, Hen." "Stop it, please!" "What's the matter?" " Hen Wen..." " Taran!" "What's going on?" "I..." "I don't know." "There's something wrong with Hen Wen." "What?" "Oh, quickly, lad." "Bring her inside." " What's that for?" " Put Hen Wen down." "I never use her powers unless I have to... but now I must." " Powers?" " Taran, what you are about to see... you must never reveal to anyone." "Hen Wen, from you, I do beseech... knowledge that lies beyond my reach... troubled thoughts beyond your heart." "Pray you now those thoughts impart." "Ah!" "The Horned King." "Don't interfere." "He is searching." "The Black Cauldron!" " So that's it." " The Black Cauldron?" "An awesome weapon, Taran." "It's been hidden for centuries... but if the Horned King should find it... and unleash its power... nothing could stand against him." " That's Hen Wen!" " He knows." "Stop!" "Enough!" "You must leave here at once." "Take Hen Wen to the hidden cottage at the edge of the forbidden forest." "Hide there and never bring her out until I come for you." "Hide?" "But why?" "Only I knew the secret of Hen Wen's power... but now the Horned King has discovered it." "We must make sure he never uses it to find the Black Cauldron." "I'm not afraid of the Horned King." "Then you are a very foolish lad." "Untried courage is no match for his evil." "Just remember that." "Now, off you go, my boy... and take care of yourself." "Goodbye, Dallben." "I won't fail you." "So much, so soon... to rest on his young shoulders." "Oh, yes." "Yes, my soldiers." "Soon the Black Cauldron will be mine." "Its evil power will course through my veins... and I shall make you..." "Cauldron born." "Yes." "Yes." "Oh, yes." "Then you will worship me!" "Me." "Oh, my soldiers." "How long I have thirsted... to be a god... among mortal men." "Gosh, Hen Wen, I never knew you could create visions and things like that." "I thought you were just an ordinary pig." "I had no idea you were so special." "Dallben's going to be glad that he put his trust in me." "Just you wait and see." "Now don't go wandering about." "And don't you worry." "Keep close to me... and no one will do you any harm... not while I'm around." "And I won't let the Horned King get close to you, Hen." "I'll protect you." "Taran of Caer Dallben." "The greatest warrior in all Prydain." "A true hero!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you all." "But without the help of my pig Hen Wen here, I..." "Hen Wen?" "Where are you?" "Hen Wen?" "Oh, no!" "Hen?" "Hen Wen!" "Is that you, Hen?" "Look what I've got." "Come on out." "Here's a lovely..." "Ooh, great prince." "Give poor, starving Gurgi munchings and crunchings." "Nice apple." "Good prince." "Good apple." "Oh, boy, what a juicy apple." "Hey, no, you don't!" "I didn't give you that apple." "You took it." "Ow!" "Hey!" "Hold on, you hairy, little thief." "Come back with my apple!" "If you don't give it back, you'll be sorry." "I mean it." "I'm warning you." "Give it back." "Come on." "The apple... where is it?" "Uh-uh." "Gurgi not know where the a..." "Uh-oh." "Give it back." "I warn you." "Come on." "Come on." "The apple." "Let's have it." "You horrible, greedy thing." "You should be ashamed of yourself!" "Oh, poor, miserable Gurgi deserves... fierce smackings and whackings on his poor, tender head." "Always left with no munchings and crunching." "Oh, forgive poor Gurgi." "Oh, stop that snivelling." "I'm not going to hurt you." "Now look here." "Have you seen my pig?" "Piggy?" "Round, fat piggy?" " Big snout?" " Yes, yes." " Curly tail?" " That's her!" "That's Hen Wen!" "Uh-uh." "Nope." "Gurgi not see piggy." "Nope." "Oh, never mind." "No telling where Hen Wen is by now." "Ooh, master, master." "Now Gurgi remembers!" "Yes, yes!" "Clever, sharp-eyed Gurgi saw the piggy run." "Yes!" "Right through the forest!" "I saw it!" "I saw it!" "Come!" "Gurgi will find the lost piggy." "Then we'll be friends forever." "Munchings and crunchings in here somewhere." "It's Hen Wen!" "She's in trouble!" "Goodbye." "Hen Wen!" "Hen!" "Hen Wen!" "Hen Wen, look out!" "Look out!" "Come on!" "Hurry, Hen!" "No!" "Don't!" "Hen, hurry!" "Don't!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Come back!" "Please!" "No!" "No!" "Come back!" "Hen Wen." "I must get her out of there." "Oh, no, great lord." "Not go in there." "Forget the piggy." " What are you doing here?" " Gurgi come back to be your friend." "Friend?" "You're no friend!" "Why, you ran away when I..." "Oh, never mind." "I promised Dallben I would keep Hen safe." "I have to go." "Well, uh, are you coming?" "Me?" "Go in there?" "Oh, no, no, no." "It's a terrible place." "Just as I thought." "You're no friend." "You're just a... a miserable coward." "Here." "This is all you wanted." "If great lord go into evil castle... poor Gurgi will never see his friend again." "Nope." "Never." "Shut up, you thick-skulled dolt." "Always barking at nothing." "All right, might as well make our rounds." "Here's to everybody!" " More wine and meat for my men!" " And more women." "Quiet." "I'm trying to sleep." "What about a kiss, eh, princess?" " Gads, you're a lovely one!" " Ohh!" " Come on!" " Here." "Keep your hands off, you little Creeper." "Going somewhere, Creeper?" "Kiss me, love, and I'll die with a smile on my face." "Welcome, Your Majesty." "We-We're just celebrating our success." "Oh!" "I-I mean your success." "We've made no mistakes this time." "Bring in the prisoner!" "There, Sire." "Thi-This is the pig that creates visions." "All right, pig, show His Majesty... where the Black Cauldron can be found!" "Go on!" "Show it!" "Stubborn little thing, isn't she?" "Why, yes, Sire." "You-You're quite right." "I'll take care of it at once." "The Black Cauldron." "Where is it?" "Show us, swine!" "I warn you, the king's patience is short." "No!" "No!" "No!" "Get him!" "The sneaking, no-good..." "Uh-huh!" " Get back, or I'll..." " Wha..." "Why, the..." "Oh." " Release him." " What?" "Here." "Hen Wen." "Oh, Hen Wen." "There, there." "I presume, my boy... you are the keeper of this oracular pig." "Eh, y-yes, sir." "Then instruct her to show me... the whereabouts... of the Black Cauldron." "Oh, sir, I-I..." "I can't." "I promised." "Very well." "In that case, the pig is no use to me." "What..." "Wh-What are you going to do?" "No!" "You can't!" "Don't!" "No!" "Stop!" " I'll make her tell you." " That's better." "Now get on with the vision, pig." "Hen Wen, from you..." "I do beseech... knowledge that lies beyond my reach." "Look!" "Look, Sire!" "It's working!" "The Black Cauldron." "So it does exist." "Go on." "Yes, yes." "Where is it?" "Show me." "Show me." "C-C-Come on, Hen!" "After them!" "Catch them!" "After them!" "Gotcha, pig boy!" "The moat." "It's our only chance." "Come on, Hen." "Swim, Hen!" "Swim!" "I'm coming!" "Huh?" "Gotcha, pig boy!" "I caught him, Your Majesty!" "I caught the boy." "But you let the pig go, didn't you?" "It wasn't my fault." "Throw the boy into the dungeon!" "You must make sure he never uses Hen Wen... to find the Black Cauldron." "I won't fail you, Dallben." "Look at me, Hen!" "I can do it!" "I can do it!" "I can do it." "I can do it." "I thought I heard a noise in here." " Oh!" "Was that you?" " Yeah." "Yes." "Uh..." "You're being held a prisoner, aren't you?" " Yes." " I'm being held against my will too." " It lights up." " Why, of course." "It's magic." "Oh, I hate this place." "I do hope there aren't any rats in here." "Oh, not that I really mind them, you know... but they do jump out at one so." "I'm Princess Eilonwy." "Are you a lord or a warrior?" "Uh, no." "Uh..." "I-I-I'm an assistant pig keeper." "Oh, what a pity." "I was so hoping for someone who could help me escape." "Oh, well, if you want to come with me, you may." " Can I?" " Well, yes." "I said you could." "Oh, that wicked, wicked king." "You know he stole me." "He thought my bauble could tell him... where some old cauldron was." "That's what he wanted my pig for." "Oh, yes." "Your pig." " But my pig can tell the future." " Ooh, how interesting." "Well, you'd better stay close to me, or you'll get lost." " Your bauble." " Oh, it's always chasing those rats." "A burial chamber." "This could be the tomb of the great king who built this castle... before the Horned King took it over." "Are you all right?" "Well, come on then." "Help me look around." "He must have been a great warrior." "A sword." "This will please him." "It's a good lot this time." "Hurry!" "In with it!" "Finally, he'll reward me for this." "Don't stop, you weakling!" "Put some muscle into it." "Let's get out of here before they come back." "Where did you get that sword?" " Uh, back there." " You mean..." " Well, he's not going to use it." " Uh!" "You're making a horrendous mistake." "I'm not a spy." "I'm a bard." "Um, ye..." "I-I-I sing." "Dear, oh, dear." "I-I..." "Eh..." "I entertain." "I..." "I..." "Oh, careful, sir." "These are the hands of an artist." " Ah!" "Oh!" " This'll hold you." "Now, look, you seem an intelligent sort of chap to me." "Eh?" "I assure you, I had no idea who owned this castle." "I just happened to be passing." "Oh, he's nice." "Eh, what's his name?" "Oh, help!" "Help!" "Help!" "D-Down!" "Don't you realize who I am?" "I shall sing of your dastardly deed." "I'm Fflewddur Fflam, minstrel of minstrels!" "Balladeer to the grandest courts in all the land!" "And I, uh, eh..." "Eh, well, have you forgotten?" "I have sung in some of the finest courts." "Well, I'm only waiting for an invitation." "Oh, shush." "Why do you have to judge every word I say?" "Who's that?" "Help!" "Oh, hello." "We'll have you untied in a moment." "I'm Princess Eilonwy... and you're in bad trouble, aren't you?" "Trouble?" "Don't you know where you are?" "Haven't you seen him." "Pig boy has escaped." "Look in there." " We've been discovered." " That's you?" "Great beelin!" "Run!" "Run!" "Make haste!" "Make haste?" "I must save myself." " I think he went through the passage!" " All right, let's try down here." "Princess?" "Princess Eilonwy?" "Pig boy!" "You little scut!" "Hey." "No, no." "No, no, no." "No!" "Are you all right?" " Oh, good." "You're safe." " Why, of course." "I..." "Come on." "I'm going to get you out of here." " There they are!" " Quick!" "Up here." "Taran, the sword." "Help me, lad!" "Help!" "Murder!" "Don't!" "Keep going, Princess." " There he is!" " There he is!" " Come on!" "Over there!" "Stop him!" " Taran!" " There they are!" " Come on!" "Get them!" " Oh, no!" "Taran!" "We've got you now, pig boy!" "Taran, do something!" "Use the sword!" "Make way!" "Make way!" "Stand aside." "I command you!" "Get out from under my feet!" " Let me go, you brute!" " Run, Princess, run!" "Stay up!" "Please, stay up!" "Why didn't you tell me you had a magic sword?" "I'll-I'll say it... it-it-it..." "it wasn't my fault." "Tha..." "Me..." "That's it." "That's it." "I always get blamed for these things." "I'll just tell him, and if he gets mad..." "Oh, oh." "Oh, oh!" "I'll-I'll just straighten him out." "That's it." "I'm not going to be kicked around for this." "S-Sire?" "You bring news of the pig?" "N..." "Not exactly, Sire." "Uh, it's... oh..." "it-it-it's the pig keeper." "He's..." "Ooh!" "He's..." "He's esca..." "He's es-es... escaped." "Oh." "Oh." "Oh, Sire!" "Allow me." "Isn't that enough?" "Good." "He'll find his pig." "Send the gwythaints to follow that boy." "Oh, ye..." "Oh, yes, Sire!" "Oh, yes!" "By all means, Sire!" "The world will applaud me" "Its praise will reward me" "And I, Fflewddur Fflam will find fame" "They're almost finished, Fflewddur." "It's not too good, but it will hold for a while." "Yes, I shall sing of your deed." "It would be better to sing of our heroic escape." "Weren't you a bit frightened, Fflewddur?" "A Fflam frightened?" "The word is not in my vocabulary." "But in this case, well-chosen, my dear." " I wasn't afraid." " Ouch!" "Not afraid?" "Why..." "Why, we were running for our lives." "Well, I got us out of the castle, didn't I?" "You?" "I'd say it was the sword's magic." "But it takes a great warrior to handle a sword like this." "But still, it is a magic sword." "Ha!" "What does a girl know about swords anyway?" "Girl?" "Girl?" "If it weren't for this girl... you would still be in the Horned King's dungeon." "Here now, Princess Eilonwy, Taran." "At least I don't keep talking about it forever." "Oh, you're so... so boring!" "Now, ble-ble-ble-ble-ble..." "Pr-Pr-Princess Eilonwy..." "How dare you take his side!" "Well..." "Uh!" "Uh!" "Well, I, uh, I really didn't..." "I didn't mean to... to-to-to..." "to interfere, you know." "Silly girl." "Even if she is a princess." "But we're going to have to, eh, to..." "Oh, dear, oh, dear." "Oh." "Hello." "Hello." "Fflewddur is right, you know." "We are going to have to work together." "And we'll find your pig." "I'm sure it's important." "Thank you for-for getting me out of the dungeon." "Oh, but we couldn't have done it without you." "Well, at least we're all safe." " Great beelin!" " Fflewddur!" "Help!" "Murder!" "Hurry!" " Gurgi's lucky day!" " Get this thing off me." " Wow." " Yes, keep it!" "It's a gift!" " Want this." "Gurgi want this." " Go ahead." " I'm sure you've murdered for less." " Want." "Want." "Gurgi want!" "Gurgi!" "Master?" "Oh, oh." "Um..." "Old man, uh, fell down." "Get up." "Get up." "Well, really." "Who is your pungent little friend?" "He's no friend of mine." "He's just a coward and a thief." "Too big anyway." " You're charming." " And pungent too." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "Yes, eh-eh, yes." "Exactly there." "Toddle off." "Toddle off." "Gurgi go!" "Tracks?" "Tracks!" "Gurgi remember." "Saw piggy's tracks." " You did?" " Today!" " Today?" "Wait a minute." " He'll try anything." "Oh, you're both horrid." "He just might know." " Pretty lady come too?" " Well, I..." " Yes, yes, yes!" "Follow Gurgi!" "Follow Gurgi!" " Gurgi!" "You better be telling the truth." "Gurgi not lie, not this time." "See, master?" "Piggy's footsteps." "No lie." "Oh, good." "They look fresh." "Oh, master." "Master!" "Gurgi, hold on!" "Oh, no!" "Taran!" " Give me your hand!" " We're doomed." "Uh-oh." "How did they get in here?" "Old Doli's whirlpool broke again." "I bet they wake up soon." "We better tell King Eidellig." "No, silly." "You know we're not supposed to be up here." "Uh-oh." "We're all going to be in trouble." " Not me." " Me either." "Uh-oh!" "Oh, yes." "I..." "I see you fixed that." "Yep." "When..." "I get this last peg in here..." "I'll be finished." "Good." "Hmm." "Yes." "That-That should work." "It's perfect." "Grab that pole!" "Uhh, I got it!" "Oh, aren't you all darling?" "Eh, uh-uh, he-hello." "Uh, I'm King Eidellig of the Fairfolk." "How the blazes did they..." "I thought I told you to fix the whirlpool." "I fixed it." "I did fix it!" "It was perfect!" "Evidently, not completely perfect." "It's supposed to keep them out." "Uh, can I be of any service?" "Is everything that happens around here my fault?" "Are you on a friendly visit?" "And I suppose it's my fault the pig's here too!" " Hen Wen?" " Oh, she's your pig?" "Oh, good." "One less thing for old Doli to worry about." " Uh, uh, Doli?" " What now?" " Would you hurry and fetch the pig?" " Geez!" "Oughta get shh..." " Hey, you kids!" "What are you doing?" " Oh, oh, Mr Doli..." "I just want to see the pretty lady." "Well, now, you watch yourselves." "Hear?" "I can't believe my eyes, Your Majesty." " Watch it." "Watch it!" " Oh, Hen!" "Thank goodness you're..." "Tell me." "Is the burning and killing still going on up there?" "You refer to that..." "that-that-that-that-that... joke on humanity, the Horned King." "Will no one ever stand up to him?" "We've seen him, and if he finds the Cauldron, he'll kill us all." "Oh, no, no." "He-He'll never find it." "No, no." "I-I-It's safely hidden in Morva." " Morva?" " Uh, well, uh, at least I think it is." "Oh, Doli, is it?" "Really?" "Is that one of my new jobs?" "Remembering where the Cauldron was last seen?" "Gee!" "Oh." "Uh, he'll know right where is it." "You'll see." "If we could get to the Cauldron first and destroy it..." " Oh, this isn't right, Taran." " But don't you see?" "If we destroy the Cauldron, it will stop the Horned King." "Please, come with me." "Oh, wait, I never thought." "Morva." "Oh, that's a hard place to get to." " Yep." " Why, you can take them." " What?" " Do you mean we're trusting our lives to-to... eh, to him?" " And what is wrong with me?" " Oh, oh, uh, nothing." "Uhh, splendid choice." "Uh, shall we, then?" "Oh, wait!" "Hen Wen!" "Oh, don't worry." "We'll get her home safely." "Oh, thank you, sir." "Be good, Hen." "Well, if it's the Marshes of Morva you wanted... here you are." "Ooh!" "Such a dreary place." "Let's see what it looks like from up here." "I think we're lost." "Are you sure this is the right place, Doli?" "Yes, I'm sure!" "Well, if you... if you ask me..." " Fflewddur!" "Doli!" " Are you all right?" "Hey, look out, you big, clumsy oaf!" "Look where you're, uh..." "Uh-oh." "Welcome to Morva." "Well, s-someone must live here." "Gurgi not like this place." "Uh-uh." "No!" "It seems empty." "Maybe we should have a look." "If, uh, I can just get this door open." "How will we ever find the Black Cauldron in a place like this?" "It must be here somewhere." " They're only frogs, Eilonwy." " Those were people." "You mean they were turned into frogs?" "Ooh, master, come quickly." "Gurgi found the wicked Cauldron." "Quick, quick, quick!" "Follow Gurgi!" "Behold, master." "The whole room is full of cauldrons." "I don't understand." "Why would..." "Why would anyone want so many..." "Thieves!" "Thieves!" "Someone stole all our frogs!" "You evil, nasty people." "You shall all be turned into frogs and eaten!" "Huh?" "Nice and tender." " Stop that, you, you..." " Oh." "So nice to meet you, ladies." " Goodbye." " Wait." "My, aren't you the handsome one." "Uh, who, uh, uh, who?" "M-M-Me?" "Oh, honestly, now... don't you find me irresistible?" "Yes." "Uh, w-well, of course, most attractive." "Shush!" "Stop that." "You don't mind if I... pluck your harp..." " Well, uh..." " do ya, handsome?" " Um..." "Bah!" "Enough of that lovesick nonsense." "Great beelin!" "Quick!" "We're going to have toad stew." "You are not gonna eat this one." "Come here, love." " Can anyone here perform marriages?" " Marriages?" "Uh, uh, uh..." "You love-struck witch!" "Where is he?" "Where'd he go?" "Yoo-hoo!" "Where are you?" "Don't go." "Now look what you've done." "He's gone!" "I'll never forgive you for this, Orgoch." "Never!" "There you are!" "Enough!" "We've come for the Black Cauldron." "Did you hear that, sisters?" "Why, nobody's asked for the Black Cauldron in over 2,000 years." "It's a trick." "We're not going to let them have it, are we?" "Don't worry." "Leave it to me." "Perhaps I might interest you in something else:" "a kettle, a cook pot, a skillet, a teapot... a bucket, a jar, a platter?" "See anything you like?" "I don't believe it." "I've never seen a sword like that." "I've got to have that sword." "Listen carefully." "We'll trade the Cauldron for the sword." "But what can they do with the Cauldron, Orddu?" "Nothing!" "That's the point." "Don't you see?" "We'll end up with both..." "the sword and the Cauldron." "It's decided then." "You shall have the Black Cauldron." "You mean, you'll give it to us?" "That's not what I said." "You weren't listening." "We never give anything away." "What we do... is bargain, trade." "Well, you'll not have my sword!" "May I ask you ladies to perhaps, uh, consider this magnificent harp?" "A harp?" "Oh, when we want music, we send for the birds." "What would we do with a simple harp?" "Wait!" "Gurgi will trade his crunchings and munchings." " Who would want..." " Hold it, sister." "Not so fast." "All right." "I know what you want." "Yes?" " No, Taran!" "No!" " It's our only chance." "Here is my sword." "Take it." "Is it your own choice, duckling?" "Remember, with this sword... you could be the greatest of warriors." "Yes." "I offer my dearest possession... in exchange for the Black Cauldron." "Agreed." "We have made a bargain." "Look out!" "Help!" " Taran, watch out!" " Aah!" "Great beelin!" "Duck!" "Look!" "The Black Cauldron." "It's ours!" "I say, what funny little ducklings." "Don't they know the Black Cauldron... is indestructible?" "Now listen carefully." "The Black Cauldron can never be destroyed." "Only its evil powers can be stopped." "Then there is a way." "But how?" "A living being must climb into it... of his own free will." "Gurgi is bold and brave." "He will climb into the evil Cauldron." "However, the poor duckling will never climb out alive." "Y-Yikes!" "Uh, n-now, look here, madam." "Uh, uh, don't forget we had an agreement." "Yes." "You said we could have the Cauldron." "Of course we said you could have the Cauldron." "It's not our fault you can't do anything with it." "Goodbye, goslings." "Remember, we always keep a bargain." "What a bunch of blundering misfits!" "Things just never work out when you're dealin' with people!" "You can go back to feeding pigs!" "I've had it!" "Goodbye!" "Doli's right." "It's..." "It's my fault." "I let you down." "Without my sword, I'm nothing... just an assistant pig keeper." "Look, you are somebody." "You must believe in yourself." " I believe in you." " Y-You do?" "A-And I think that you're..." "Uh..." "Uh..." "Uh, I mean..." " That is..." " Yes, Taran?" "I mean, uh..." "What I mean is I'm grateful to all of you." "You've been true friends." "Now it's up to me..." "Look!" "Uh-oh." "Trouble." "Goodbye." " Quick!" "We can't let them find us." " Halt!" "Pig boy!" "Fight where you are, pig boy." "We've gotcha." "Get a move on!" "Careful, now." "You!" "Pile them up over there!" "And get that cart out of here!" "I'm sorry." "I've ignored you." "You did come for the Black Cauldron, didn't you?" "Good." "Then climb in!" "It will only cost you your life." "E-Everything is..." "i-i-is ready, S-Sire." "My, such a brave and handsome group:" "a pig boy, a scullery maid... and a broken-down minstrel." "Perhaps it may interest you to see what fate has in store for you." "Now I call on... my army of the dead... the Cauldron born." "Arise, my messengers of death." "Our time has arrived." "Oh, it's horrible." "My beloved warriors have come to life." "All the dead of centuries past." "Never has anyone created an army like this." "Go forth, my deathless warriors!" "Destroy all in your path!" "Come, Sire." "We can get a better view from above." "Oh, Taran." "I'm afraid it'll soon be over for us." "I..." "I hadn't planned it to end like this, Eilonwy." "Oh, I wish I'd stayed a toad." "Only moments away from victory." "My greatest triumph." "We did it, Sire!" "We did it!" "Oh, I-I-I mean, I mean, you." "Y-Yes, of course, y-you did it, Sire." "Oh!" "Y-Yikes!" "Gurgi?" "Gurgi?" " Is that you?" " Master!" "Gurgi!" "Wh..." "Wh-What are you doing here?" "Gurgi is sorry he always runs away when there's trouble." "He will untie everybody." "Then we will leave this evil place." "Yeah, but get..." "but get on with it." "Good boy, Gurgi!" "Eilonwy, you and Fflewddur go with Gurgi." "I must stop the Cauldron." "Oh, but, Taran, that's impossible." "Why, you'd be..." "Taran!" "I'm sorry, Eilonwy." "Please, Taran." "No!" "You can't!" " My mind is made up." " Wait, master!" " Gurgi not let you jump into Cauldron." " Gurgi, get out of my way!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Please, master." "Not go into evil Cauldron." "If I don't, we're all lost." "Out of my way!" "No, Gurgi not let his friend die." "Taran has many friends." " Gurgi has no friends." " Gurgi, no!" "Don't jump!" "Wait!" "No!" "No!" "Oh, no." "Sire." "Sire, look." "Something's wrong." "What is it, Sire?" "Th-They're..." "They're dying!" "It can't be." "This had better not be your fault." "Perhaps it needs a-another body, Sire." "Yes." "Yours!" "Get Eilonwy out of here." "Hurry!" "But, Taran, I..." "Please, I..." "Go on!" "Go with Fflewddur." "M..." "May..." "Maybe there's still a chance for Gurgi." "No, Sire!" "Please!" "Get up!" "Come alive!" "Maybe they're only resting, Sire." "Do something!" "My life is at stake!" "Get up, you fools!" "Kill!" "Look!" "Sire, look!" "It's the pig boy." "It's his fault." "Yes." "He's the cause of it!" "You've interfered for the last time." "Go for his throat, Sire." "Now, pig keeper... you shall die." "No!" "Don't!" "What?" "What's this?" "No, you'll not escape." "You shall satisfy the Cauldron's hunger." "Oh, no." "No!" "You'll not have me!" "My power cannot die!" "Curse you!" "No!" "No!" "Oh, no." "H-How-How-How horrible." "Poor Sire." "He-He's gone." "He..." "He's gone." "He's gone!" "He's gone!" "Fflewddur!" " Eilonwy!" " Over here!" "Hurry!" "Thank goodness you're safe." "Come on, Fflewddur." "Hurry!" "Run for your lives!" "Oh!" "Come on." "Jump." "Taran, look!" "Quick." "Get in." "Let's go." "Here." "Push off, Fflewddur." "Eh?" "Uh-oh." "Uh, trouble." "Oh, we can't get through." " I-I'll try to open the gate." " Taran, be careful, please." "Hurry!" "Move on through!" "Come on, Fflewddur." "Hurry!" "Oh, good work, lad." "Here, let me..." "Look out!" "Look." "Gurgi." " Gurgi?" " Why is the poor duckling so sad?" "Yes." "He's got what he wanted... and he's still not satisfied." "Just what do you think you're up to, ladies?" "Oh, we have business with your little hero." "Hero?" "Gurgi was the hero." "The only thing that mattered to you was the Cauldron... but now it's no use to you." "So we'll just take it and be on our way." "But, but, but..." "Uh, stay your hand, uh, ladies." "We never give anything away." "We bargain." "We trade." "Remember?" "Di..." "Did these old ears hear the word "bargain," hmm?" "Yes, madam, those old ears heard right." "I adore forceful men." "Oh, pull yourself together, madam." "Eh, now, come on, out with it." "What is your offer?" " No, not my..." " Then I'll do it." "A magnificent sword for a warrior." "I'm not a warrior." "I'm a pig boy." "What would I do with a sword?" "Uh, absolutely nothing." " But I would trade..." " Yes?" "the Cauldron for Gurgi." " Dear!" " It's not possible." "Just as I thought, ladies." "You've got no real power!" "Admit it!" "Admit it!" "We have made a bargain." "Oh, Taran." "Munchings and crunchings in here somewhere." "Gurgi!" "Uh, you're alive!" "He's alive." "Great beelin." "He is alive." "Oh, Fflewddur, Fflewddur." "He's alive!" " Come on." " I'm alive!" "Gurgi's alive!" "Look, look, look!" "Touch me!" "Gurgi, you clever little thing." "Come on, Gurgi." "Let's go home." "Gurgi's happy day!" "Come on." "Great beelin." "You did well, my boy." "Yep."

"Anything goes" "anything goes" "Anything goes." "Be careful." "You never told me you spoke my language, dr." "Jones." "Only on special occasions." "So, it is true?" "You found nurhachi?" "You know i did." "Last night one of your boys tried to get nurhachi without paying for him." "You have insulted my son." "No, you have insulted me." "I spared his life." "Aren't you going to introduce us?" "This is willie scott." "This is indiana jones, famous archaeologist." "Well, i thought archaeologists were always funny little men searching for their mommies." "Mummies." "Dr. Jones found nurhachi for me, and he's going to deliver him... now." "Say, who is the nurhac hachi?" "!" "Put the gun away, sonny." "I suggest you give me what you owe me or anything goes." "Ooh." "Open it." "The diamond, lao." "The deal was for the diamond." "Oh, lao... ow!" "To your very good health." "Lao!" "He put a hole... he put two holes in my dress from paris!" "Sit down!" "Now, you bring me nurhachi." "My pleasure." "Who on earth is this nurhachi?" "Here he is." "This nurhachi's a real small guy." "Inside are the remains of nurhachi... first emperor of manchu dynasty." "Welcome home, old boy." "And now, you give me the diamond." "Are you trying to develop a sense of humor, or am i going deaf?" "What's that?" "Antidote." "To what?" "The poison you just drank, dr." "Jones." "The poison works fast, dr." "Jones." " Lao." " Lao!" "You keep the girl." "I find another." "Good service here."

"I followed you on many adventures... but into the great unknown mystery... i go first, indy." "Don't be sad, dr." "Jones." "You will soon be joining him." "Too much to drink, dr." "Jones?"

"Okay, you asked for it." "This is fun!" "Here, hold this." "Where's my gun?" "I burnt my fingers, and i cracked a nail!" "Ah, dr." "Jones... i'm art weber." "I spoke with your assistant." "Uh, we've managed to secure three seats, but there might be a slight inconvenience as you will be riding on a cargo full of live poultry." "Is he kidding?" "Madam, it's the best i could do on such short notice." "Heavens, aren't you willie scott, the famous american female vocalist?" "Owe you a gin." "Nice try, lao che." "Good-bye, dr." "Jones." "So, what are you supposed to be, a lion tamer?" "I'm allowing you to tag along, so why don't you give your mouth a rest?" "Okay, doll?" "What do you mean, "tag along"?" "Ever since you got into my club, you haven't been able to take your eyes off me." "Oh, yeah?" "Oh, no... oh, no!" "Mister, mister... oh, mister, wake up." "Please, mister... you call him dr." "Jones, doll!" "Okay, dr." "Jones, dr." "Jones." "Oh, wake up, please!" "Are we there already?" "Oh, good." "No." "Huh?" "No one's flying the plane!" "Oh, boy... they've all gone!" "You know how to fly, don't you?" "No." "Do you?" "Oh, no." " Oh, my god!" " How hard can it be?" " I'm gonna faint." " Altimeter!" "Okay." "Air speed." "Uh, okay." "Fuel... fuel?" "Fuel?" "!" "I think we got a big problem." "Dr. Jones!" "Shorty!" "Dr. Jones!" "No more parachutes!" " Oh..." " shorty!" " Come on, give me a hand!" " What's that?" "Move the box!" "Dr. Jones, you're crazy!" "Shorty, get our stuff!" "A boat?" "We're not sinking." "We're crashing!" "Grab on, shorty!" "Grab on!" " Lady, i can't breathe!" " Tight!" "Siow it down!" "That wasn't so bad, was it?" "Aah!" "Put on the brakes!" "I hate the water, and i hate being wet, and i hate you!" "Good." "Good!" "Dr. Jones?" "I'm all right, shorty." "You okay?" "Oh, where are we, anyway?" "India." "How do you know that?" "Oh, i sure hope this means dinner." "God, i'm starving." "Thank you." "I can't eat this." "That's more food than these people eat in a week." "They're starving." "Oh, i'm sorry." "You can have... eat it." "I'm not hungry." "You're insulting them, and you're embarrassing me." "Eat it." "Eat it." "Eat." "Bad news coming." "Can you provide us with a guide to take us to delhi?" "I'm a professor." "I have to get back to my university." "Yes." "Sajnu will guide you." "On the way to delhi, you will stop at pankot." "Pankot is not on the way to delhi." "You will go to pankot palace." "I thought the palace had been deserted since, uh... the 1850s." "No." "Now there is a new maharaja, and again the palace has the power of the dark light." "It is that place kill my people." "What has happened here?" "The evil start in pankot... then like monsoon... it moves darkness... over all country... over all country." "The evil?" "What evil?" "See?" "Bad news." "You listen to suwamu." "You leave lanka." "Shh... they came from palace... and took sivalinga... from our village." "Took what?" "Lt's a stone... a sacred stone from the shrine that protects the village." "It is why siva brought you here." "We weren't brought here." "Our plane crashed." "It crashed." "No, no." "We prayed to siva to help us find the stone." "It was siva who made you fall from the sky." "So you will go to pankot palace to find sivilinga and bring back to us." "Bring back to us." "Bring back to us." "Bring back to us." "Dr. Jones, did they make the plane crash to get you here?" "No, shorty, it's just a ghost story." "Don't worry about it." "They took the stone from here." "Was the stone very smooth like a rock from a sacred river?" "Yes." "With three lines across it representing the three levels of the universe." "That's right." "Yes." "I've seen stones like the one you lost." "But why would maharaja take the sacred stone from here?" "They says we must pray to their evil god." "We says we will not." "Excuse me, i don't understand how one rock could destroy a whole village." "He's saying when the sacred stone was taken, the village wells dried up, and the river turned to sand." "The crops were swallowed by the earth, and the animals laid down and turned to dust." "Then one night there was a fire in the fields." "The men went out to fight the fire." "When they came back, the women were crying in the darkness." "Children." "He says they stole their children." "Sankara!" "Sankara... ranjit!" "Ranjit!" "Sankara." "Little boy escaped from the evil palace." "Many other children still there." "What we do, dr." "Jones?" "What you think?" "I think that somebody believes the good luck rock from this village is one of the lost sankara stones." "What is sankara?" "Fortune and glory, kid." "Fortune and glory." "Willie, quit monkeying around on that thing." "Oh, wait a second!" "Indy!" "I can't go to delhi like this!" "We're not going to delhi, doll." "We're going to pankot palace." "Pankot?" "!" "I can't go to pankot!" "I'm a singer." "Oh, i need to call my agent." "Is there a phone?" "Anybody, i need a phone!" "Eww!" "Oh, quit complaining." "This is expensive stuff." "You come to america with me, and we get job in circus." "You like that?" "You like america?" "You're my best friend." "You're my best friend." "Ooh, what big birds!" "Those aren't big birds, sweetheart." "They're giant vampire bats." "Bats?" "Oh, pipe down, you big baboon." "This doesn't hurt." "You know what you really need?" "You really need a bath." "Ha-ha, very funny." "Very funny." "Very funny." "All wet." "I was happy in shanghai." "I had a little house..." "and a garden." "My friends were rich." "We went to parties all the time in limousines." "I hate being outside!" "I'm a singer!" "I could lose my voice!" "I think we'll camp here tonight." "Cut it out." "What do you got?" "Two sixes." "Aha-ha, three aces." "I win." "Two more game, i have all your money." "Ha, ha, ha!" "Lt's poker, shorty, anything can happen." "Where did you find your, uh, little bodyguard?" "I didn't find him, i caught him." "What?" "Shorty's family were killed when the japanese bombed shanghai." "He's been living on the streets since he was four." "I caught him trying to pick my pocket, didn't i, short stuff?" "Biggest trouble with her is the noise." "Hey!" "You cheat, dr." "Jones." "You cheat!" "What do you mean?" "You take four card." " You pay now." " Oh, they were stuck together." "No stuck." "No mistake." "They were stuck together." "It's a mistake." "I'm very little." "You cheat very big." "Dr. Jones, you cheat!" "You pay money." "You owe me ten cent." "Look at this." "Look at this." "You accuse me of cheating." "You're cheating." "You make me poor." "No fun." "Play with you no fun." " I quit." " I quit, too." "Oh, this place is completely surrounded." "The entire place is crawling with living things." "That's why they call it the jungle, sweetheart." "Oh, my god, what else is out there?" "Willie, wait... oh!" "Willie, willie... what is that?" "Is that short for something?" ""Willie" is my professional name, indiana." "Hey, lady, you call him dr." "Jones." "My professional name." "Why are you dragging us off to this deserted palace?" "Fortune and glory?" "Fortune and glory." "Well... this is a piece of an old manuscript." "This pictograph represents sankara, a priest." "Scram." "Gentle." "Gentle." "This is hundreds of years old." "Is that some kind of writing?" "Yeah, it's sanskrit." "Cut it out." "It's part of the legend of sankara." "He climbs mount kalisa where he meets siva, the hindu god." "That's siva?" "And what's he handing the priest?" "Rocks." "Stop." "He told him to go forth and combat evil." "And to help him, he gave him five sacred stones with magical properties." "Magic rocks?" "My grandpa was a magician." "He spent his entire life with a rabbit in his pocket and pigeons up his sleeves." "He made a lot of children happy and died a very poor man." "Magic rocks." "Fortune and glory." "Sweet dreams, dr." "Jones." "Where are you going?" "I'd sleep closer, if i were you." "For safety's sake." "Dr. Jones, i'd be safer sleeping with a snake." "I said, cut it out!" "I hate that elephant." "Indy, look!" "I see it, shorty." "That's it:" "Pankot palace." "Dr. Jones, what you look at?" "Don't come up here." "No!" "No, no, no, no!" "Don't leave!" "No!" "No, no, no, no, no!" "Oh, baby elephant, stay here!" "Oh, no!" "Indy!" "They're stealing our rides!" "We walk from here." "Hello." "I should say you look rather lost." "But then i cannot imagine where in the world the three of you would look at home." "We're not lost." "We're on our way to delhi." "This is miss scott." "This is mr." "Round." "Short round." "My name is indiana jones." "Dr. Jones, the eminent archaeologist?" "Hard to believe, isn't it?" "Ah." "I remember first hearing your name when i was up at oxford." "Oh." "I'm chattar lal, prime minister to his highness, the maharaja of pankot." "I'm enchanted." "Enchanted." "Thank you very much." "Thank you very much." "Welcome to pankot palace!" "Enchanted, huh?" "Shorty, where's my razor?" "We are fortunate tonight to have so many unexpected visitors." "This is captain blumburtt." "11th poona rifles." "And you, sir, are dr." "Jones, i presume." "I am, captain." "Captain blumburtt and his troops are on a routine inspection tour." "The british find it amusing to inspect us at their convenience." "I do hope, sir, that it's not, uh, inconvenient to you, uh... sir." "The british worry so about their empire." "Makes us all feel like well-cared-for children." "Ah... you look beautiful." "I think the maharaja is swimming in loot." "Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea coming here after all." "You look like a princess." "Mr. Lal, what do they call the maharaja's wife?" "His highness has not yet taken a wife." "How interesting." "Well, uh, maybe it's because he hasn't found the right woman." "His supreme highness, guardian of pankot tradition, the maharaja of pankot, zalim singh." "That's the maharaja?" "A kid?" "!" "Maybe he like older women." "Captain blumburtt was just telling me something of the interesting history of the palace... the importance it played in the mutiny." "It seems the british never forget the mutiny of 1857." "Yes, well, you know, i think there are other events... before the mutiny, going back a century, back to the time of clive..." "that are more interesting." "And what events are those, dr." "Jones?" "Well, if memory serves me correctly, this area, this province, was the center of activity for the thuggee." "Ah!" "Snake... surprise." "What's the surprise?" "Dr. Jones, you know perfectly well the thuggee cult has been dead for nearly a century." "Yes, of course." "The thuggee was an obscenity that worshipped kali with human sacrifices." "The british army nicely did away with them." "Well, i suppose stories of the thuggee die hard." "There are no stories anymore." "I'm not so sure." "We came from a small village." "The peasants there told us pankot palace was growing powerful again because of some ancient evil." "Village stories, dr." "Jones." "They're just fear and folklore." "You're beginning to worry captain blumburtt." "I'm not worried, mr." "Prime minister, just, uh... just, um, interested." "Ah... what?" "You are not eating?" "I had bugs for lunch." "Give me your hat." "Why?" "'Cause i'm gonna puke in it." "Oh!" "You know, the villagers also told us pankot palace had taken something." "Dr. Jones, in our country, it's not usual for a guest to insult his host." "I'm sorry." "I thought we were talking about folklore." "Excuse me, sir, do you have anything simple, like soup?" "What exactly was it they say was stolen?" "A sacred rock." "Ha!" "You see, captain, a rock!" "Ah!" "Ah... something connected... the villagers' rock and the old legend of the sankara stones." "Dr. Jones, we are all vulnerable to vicious rumors." "I seem to remember that in honduras you were accused of being a grave robber rather than an archaeologist." "Well, the newspapers greatly exaggerated the incident." "And wasn't it the sultan of madagascar who threatened to cut your head off if you ever returned to his country?" "No, it wasn't my head." "Then your hands, perhaps." "No, it wasn't my hands, it was my... my misunderstanding." "Exactly what we have here, dr." "Jones." "I have heard the evil stories of the thuggee cult." "I thought the stories were told to frighten children." "Later, i learnt the thuggee cult was once real and did of unspeakable things." "I am ashamed of what happened here so many years ago, and i assure you this will never happen again in my kingdom." "If i offended you... then i am sorry." "Ah, dessert!" "Chilled monkey brains." "Uh, i think i'll just check on willie." "That's all you better do." "Tell me later what happened." "Am-scray." "Ah." "I've got something for you." "There's nothing you have that i could possibly want." "Right." "Oh." "Mmm, mmm, mmm." "Mmm." "Oh, you're a very nice man." "Maybe you could be my palace slave." "Wear your jewels to bed, princess?" "Yeah." "And nothing else." "That shock you?" "Nothing shocks me." "I'm a scientist." "So, as a scientist, you do a lot of research?" "Always." "And what sort of research would you do on me?" "Nocturnal activities." "You mean like what sort of cream i put on my face at night, what position i like to sleep in?" "Mating customs." "Love rituals?" "Primitive sexual practices." "So you're an authority in that area?" "Years of fieldwork." "Oh." "I don't blame you for being sore at me." "I can be hard to handle." "I've had worse." "But you'll never have better." "I don't know." "As a scientist, i don't want to prejudice my experiment." "I'll let you know in the morning." "Why, you conceited ape." "I'm not that easy." "I'm not that easy, either." "Trouble with you is, willie, you're too used to getting your own way." "And you're just too proud to admit that you're crazy about me, dr." "Jones." "If you want me, willie, you know where you can find me." "Five minutes." "You'll be back over here in five minutes." "I'll be asleep in five minutes." "Five." "You know it, and i know it." "Five minutes." "Four and a half." ""Palace slave."" ""Nocturnal activities."" "I'm a "conceited ape"?" ""I'll tell you in the morning."" "I can't believe it." "He's not coming." "She's not coming." "She's not coming." "I can't believe i'm not going." "Indiana jones!" "This is one night you'll never forget!" "This is the night i slipped right through your fingers!" "Sleep tight... and pleasant dreams!" "I could have been your greatest adventure." "Dr. Jones, your whip!" " Shorty..." " huh?" "Turn off the switch." "Oh, indy." "Oh, be gentle with me." "Be gentle with me." "But i'm here." "There's nobody here." "No, i'm here." "Indy, you're acting awfully strange." "Hey, i'm right here." ""Follow in the footsteps of siva."" "What does that mean?" ""Do not betray these truths."" "Shorty, go get our stuff." "Stay behind me, short round." "Step where i step, and don't touch anything." "I step where you step." "I touch nothing." "Indy!" "I step on something." "Yeah, there's something on the ground." "Feel like step on fortune cookies." "It's not fortune cookies." "Let me take a look." "That's no cookies." "It's all right." "I got him." "Ow!" "Go." "There, go." "Stop." "Look, just stand up against the wall, will you?" "You say to stand against the wall!" "I listen to what you say!" "Not my fault!" "Not my fault!" "Willie, get down here!" "We're in trouble!" "Willie!" "Willie!" "Bet i get all dirty again." " Willie, get down here!" " Not my fault!" "We're in trouble!" "Trouble?" "Trouble?" "What sort of...?" "This is serious!" "There are two dead people down here!" "There're going to be two dead people in here!" "Hurry!" "I've almost had enough of you two." "Willie!" "What's the rush?" "!" "Lt's a long story, willie." "Hurry, or you don't get to hear it." "Ooh, god, what is this?" "Indy, what is this?" "I can't see a thing!" "Hurry!" "All right!" "Oh, i broke a nail." "Uh... uh... willie, hurry!" "They're in my hair!" "Aw, shut up, willie!" "Indy, let me in!" "No, let us out!" "Let me in!" "Let us out!" "Shut up!" "I'm down here!" "They're all over me!" "There's got to be a fulcrum release lever somewhere." "What?" "!" "A handle that opens the door." " Go on!" " They're just, just square holes!" "Go to the right hole." "Hurry, willie!" "Ooh... the other one!" "The other right." "Your other right!" "The one on your right!" "Oh, there's slime inside!" "I can't do it." "You can do it." "Feel inside." "Okay." "You feel inside!" "Do it now!" "Okay!" "Ooh!" "Ew!" "Willie, we are going to die!" "Lt's soft." "It's moving!" "Got it!" "Get 'em off of me!" "Get 'em off of me!" "They're all over me!" "Get 'em off me!" "Huh?" "No!" "It wasn't me!" "Lt's her!" "Huh?" "!" "Come on!" "Go!" "Move!" "Come on, move!" "Come on!" "It's a thuggee ceremony." "They're worshipping kali." "Have you ever seen anything like this before?" "Nobody's seen this for a hundred years." "Kali ma." "Kali ma... kali ma!" "He's still alive." "Kali ma. that's the rock they took from the village." "It's one of the sankara stones." "Why they glow like that?" "Shh, shh." "The legend says when the rocks are brought together, the diamonds inside them will glow." "Diamonds?" "Diamonds." " Diamonds!" " Shh." "Diamonds." "Hey, hey." "Look, i want you two to stay up here and keep quiet." "Shorty, you keep an eye on her." "Why, where are you going?" "Down there." "Down there?" "!" "Are you crazy?" "!" "I'm not leaving here without the stones." "You could get killed chasing after your damn fortune and glory!" "Maybe." "But not today." "Be careful." "Where's he going?" "Let me go...!" "Run, willie!" "Run!" "Dr. Jones!" "I keep telling you, you listen me more, you live longer." "Please, let me die." "I pray to siva," ""let me die," but i do not." "Now... now the evil of kali take me." "How?" "They will make me drink the blood of the kali." "Then i'll fall into the black sleep of the kali ma." "What is that?" "We become like them." "We'll be alive, but like a nightmare." "You drink blood, you not wake up from nightmare." "You were caught trying to steal the sankara stones." "There were five stones in the beginning." "Over the centuries, they were dispersed by wars, sold off by thieves like you." "Thieves like me, huh?" "Ha!" "Still missing two." "A century ago, when the british raided this temple and butchered my people, a loyal priest hid the last two stones down here in the catacombs." "So that's what you've got these slaves digging for, huh?" "They're innocent children." "They dig for the gems to support our cause." "They also search for the last two stones." "Soon we will have all the five sankara stones, and the thuggees will be all powerful." "What a vivid imagination." "You... don't believe me?" "You will, dr." "Jones." "You will become... a true believer." "Hi." "Dr. Jones!" "Don't drink... it's bad!" "Don't drink!" "Spit it out!" "Dr. Jones... you dare not do that." "Leave him alone, you bastards!" "The british in india will be slaughtered." "Then we will overrun the muslims." "Then the hebrew god will fall." "And then the christian god will be cast down and forgotten." "Soon, kali ma will rule the world." "Dr. Jones... kali ma protects us." "We are her children." "We pledge our devotion to her with an offering of flesh... what are you doing?" "!" "...and blood." "Your friend has seen..." "and she has heard." "Now she will not talk." "I'm not going to have anything nice to say about this place when i get back." "Indy!" "For god sakes, help me!" "Wh-what's the matter with you?" "No... no." "Come." "Come." "Indiana... indiana... help us." "Please, snap out of it." "You're not one of them." "You're not one of them." "Please come back to us." "Don't leave me." "No!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Are you mad?" "!" "Oh... oh, this can't be happening, this can't be happening." "Wake up, willie, wake up." "No!" "No!" "No...!" "No!" "No, no, no!" "Wake up, dr." "Jones, wake up!" "Dr. Jones!" "Indy, i love you." "Wake up, indy!" "Wake up!" "You're my best friend!" "Wake up, indy!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "He's mine!" "I'm all right, kid." "Mola ram!" "Give me some slack!" "Willie, willie, wake up!" "Willie, willie, it's me!" "I'm back!" "Oh, indy." "Indy... my friend." "I'm sorry, kid." "Indy... now, let's get out of here." "Right." "All of us." "No!" "I've got to save him!" "He can take care of himself." "He needs me." "I've got to save indy!" "Okay, save him." "Drop him down!" "I kill you!" "Drop him down!" "Whoa!" "What's the matter with him?" "Here." "Try this." "Go, indy!" "It was the black sleep of kali." "Short round!" "Quit fooling around with that kid!" "Get down in the cart, now!" "Okeydokey, indy!" "Please listen." "To get out, you must take the left tunnel." "Thank you." "Shorty!" "Quit stalling!" "Come on, indy!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Shorty, look out!" " Come on!" " Indy!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "Hurry up!" "Indy, take the left tunnel!" "The left tunnel!" "No, indy!" "You missed it!" "Left tunnel!" "We got company!" "Stop." "Let her go!" " Let go of the brake." " What?" "What?" "Let her go." "Our only chance is to outrun them." " Shorty?" " Huh?" "Come up here and take the brake." "Watch it on the curves, or we'll fly right off the track." "Okay." "Yay!" "What are you doing?" "Short cut." " Yes, indy." " Short, cut." "Watch it!" "Indy, help!" " Hang on!" " Indy!" "Pull him in." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Let go of him!" "No!" "No!" "Pull him in!" " I'll catch him!" " No!" "Duck!" "All right." " What?" " Brakes." "Brakes." "Siow us down." "Okay." "Uh-oh." "Big mistake." "Big mistake, indy." "Figures." "We're going too fast!" "Too fast!" "We're going to crash!" "Water, water, water!" "Oh, look!" "Look there!" " Water!" " Fire!" "You're on fire!" "Water, water!" "Look... water, water." "Water, water." "Come on..." "come on!" "Let's go!" "Run, run!" "Willie, look out!" "No!" "Head for the bridge." "Go!" "Come on, willie, this way." "Oh, god." "Come on, let's go." "Strong bridge." "Come on, let's go." "Strong bridge." "Look... strong wood." "Come on!" "Look!" "Shorty!" "Help!" "I'm falling down." "Help!" "Not very funny." "Back!" "Welcome." "Ow!" "Let her go, mola ram." "You are in a position unsuitable to give orders." "Watch your back!" "You want the stones, let 'em go." "Let her go!" "Drop them, dr." "Jones." "They will be found." "You won't." "Indy!" "Behind you!" "Oh, shit." "Go on." "Go." "Go on!" "Go on!" "That way." "Shorty... hang on, lady." "We going for a ride." "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god." "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god!" "Is he nuts?" "He no nuts." "He's crazy." "Mola ram, prepare to meet kali... in hell." "What are you doing?" "!" "You fool!" "Indy, cover your heart!" "Cover your heart!" "Oh, my god!" "Oh, my god." " Look out!" " No!" "No!" "Hurry!" "Let's go!" "The stones are mine!" "You've betrayed siva." "You betrayed siva." "You betrayed siva!" "Well, it's about time." "Hold your fire." "We know you are coming back when life return to our village." "Now you can see the magic of the rock you bring back." "Yes, i understand its power now." "You could've kept it." "Ah, what for?" "They'd just put it in a museum." "It'd be another rock collecting dust." "But then it would've given you your fortune and glory." "Anything could happen." "It's a long way to delhi." "No, thanks." "No more adventures with you, dr." "Jones." "Sweetheart, after all the fun we've had together?" "If you think i'm going to delhi with you, or anyplace else after all the trouble you've gotten me into, after all the trouble you've gotten me into, think again, buster!" "I'm going home to missouri where they never feed you snakes, before ripping your heart out and lowering you into hot pits!" "This is not my idea of a swell time!" "Excuse me, sir." "I need a guide to delhi." "If you could... oh... very funny." "Very funny." "Uh-oh."

"Listen, can you keep the meter running?" " I'll be about five minutes." " Can do." " Here you go." " Hey, thanks, man." "Katie, thanks for pinch-hitting today." "Must be the flu." "The girls are dropping like flies." "No kidding, though." "You really bailed me out." "If you had any class, you'd take me to lunch." "Well, it's tough to get too classy when you got a wife and three kids." " How about Dutch at the deli?" " You're on." "You sure that guy you've been seeing won't get bent out of shape if he finds out?" "He'd better." "Freeze." "Turn around." "Turn around." "Move." "You." "Stay put." "Anybody else moves, they're dead." "You." "Fill it up." "Just the bills." "Best you tellers move away from those windows." "Come on, lady, move faster." "You, by the door, duck squat." "You heard me, duck squat." "That's fine there, lady, move to the next drawer." "Come on, move." "Hey, man, this stuff is unreal, you know?" "Hey, Tonto, you gonna buy something or stand around with your mouth flapping all day?" "Oh, come on, man." "Don't pull no numbers on me." "I'm just waiting for my gig, you dig?" "Well, wait in your hack, all right?" "This ain't the public library." "Okay, man." "Okay." "Don't get hassled." " Hey, let's go, old buddy." " Right away, sir." "And the woman, the one that was hit?" "Kate Evans." "She was right over here." "Over there behind that desk." "She started to get up and she started to move toward him, and" "Who moved towards him?" "Miss Evans." "Kate Evans." "I guess the guy thought she was going to scream or something." "He hit her so hard." "Mr. Davis, let me ask, is it normal for a branch bank like this to be carrying a hundred thousand on hand?" "No, that's just the point." "Never." "Except on Thursday." "More of a courtesy than anything else." "Just to cash the payroll cheques for our customers." "Who knows about that?" "Anybody who banks here, I suppose." "Or works here." "Well, I don't quite understand that kind of a comment, inspector." "Are you suggesting that one of our employees is involved in this?" " Mike?" " Check it out." " Excuse me." " Mr. Davis." "You said the man had a green topcoat and he put the money in a brown leather case." "You didn't see his face, you didn't see his hands." "Tell me." "What did you notice?" "Did you notice the way he spoke?" " Did he have an accent?" " Accent?" "No." "Use any funny phrases?" " I don't really think it was important." " Go on." "Go on." "It might be." "Well, he said something I hadn't heard since basic training." " What was that?" " "Duck squat."" "There was a customer over here trying to slip out, and he told him to duck squat." "Duck squat, huh?" "Okay." "Now, you say he came in through that side door." " And how did he go out?" " The same." "The side." "All right, Mr. Davis." "Thank you very much." "We'll keep in touch." "Climb on the horn to headquarters." "Have them go through the bank-robbery files." "And ask them if the phrase "duck squat" has been used in any job in the last couple of years." "Yes, operator." "I understand." "Yes, I have some change coming." "How much is it?" "Fifteen cents?" "Well, that's not necessary but it's very sweet of you." "Yes, my name is Katherine Evans and you can mail it to 3217 Union Street." "Yes." "Thank you very much." "Miss Evans?" "I'm sorry." "My name is Steven Keller." "I'm an inspector with the police department." "If you're feeling up to it, I have couple of questions I'd like to ask you." "I was listening to the radio." "And they said that the security guard had been killed." "Is that so?" "Yes." "Did you recognise the gunman?" " No." " You're sure?" "Yes." "Why?" "Well, why did you move towards him during the robbery?" " Did I?" " Yes." "Yes." "Yes, I suppose I did." "No." "No, I don't have any explanation for that except the doctors say I probably sustained some kind of shock." "But you moved towards him before you were hit, ma'am." "I'm sorry." "This" "This really is not my finest hour." "Maybe we can continue these questions later." "Just have a couple more questions." "You don't give up easily, do you?" "A man's dead." "I don't really see how I can." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "So you think the market has really bottomed out, eh, Dean?" "Daddy." "Oh, I'm sorry, dear." "I'm just trying to pump your young man to see if I can get a few tips to pass on to those who seem to be systematically destroying my portfolio." "Lindsay tells me you've turned a profit yourself these last few days." " Well" " Daddy, you're about as subtle as a sledgehammer." "What he's really asking you is if you can support me in the style I'm accustomed to." "And the answer is yes." "Now that that's finally off your chest, can I get my partner out on the court, please?" "Oh, I thought we might have one drink together." "Sorry about that." "He still needs some work on his backhand before he's perfect." " Hello, Johnny." " Hey, Mike." "How you hitting them?" "Oh, not bad." "Not good, but not bad." "You know how it is." "Listen." "Did you see anything out here during that trouble at the bank?" "Sorry, Mike." "I didn't know anything was going on till the first black and white blew in." "You didn't see anything at all during that time?" "A guy with a-- Oh, a topcoat and a briefcase?" "Oh, come on, Mike." "Look around." "How many topcoats and briefcases go by here in a day?" "Look." "I'm not talking about all day." "I'm talking about ten minutes." "Fifteen minutes at the most." "Now, he hit that bank at 1:00." "He was out in five minutes." "That put him on the street around five minutes before 1 and five minutes after." "He had on a green coat and he was carrying a brown leather case." "So don't you give me any of that everybody-looks-alike-out-here jazz." "You really want him bad, don't you?" "That mean he cashed somebody?" "Security guard." "Old Charlie Bates?" "Oh, no." "Why, I've been selling to him for" "Oh, why a nice old guy like that?" "Come on, come on, Johnny, think." "One o'clock." "I don't know, Mike." "Yeah, yeah." "Wait a minute." "Maybe" " What?" " There was a guy." "Came out of the hotel just before the black and white rolled in." "And he had a briefcase." "But I couldn't swear about brown." " He came out of the hotel?" " Yeah." "Sure, that figures." "He could have ducked in the back and come out here." "Was he alone or was somebody waiting for him?" "How did you happen to pick him out?" "The cabby." "He kept bugging me." "A real weirdo." "You know, long hair." "A real loose end." " Cabby, huh?" " Yeah." "The cab was waiting for him with the motor running." "Could've pulled into traffic as though nothing had happened?" " Right." " Name of the cab company?" " Let's see." "Golden Gate, I think." " Golden Gate?" "They got a lot of those ding-dongs driving for them." "Yeah, they have." "Anything else?" "No." "But, Mike, that's not to say he was your man." "Maybe not." "But it's a start, Johnny, it's a doggone good start." " No way." "Thanks a lot." " Come on, take it." "Please." "Just nail the crumb." "For old Charlie." "Hi, love." "What you doing?" "Hey." "What happened to you?" "Didn't you get my message?" " What message?" " I called your office from the hospital." "Hospital?" "Darling, what happened?" "The bank was robbed." "You're kidding." "But wait a minute, you weren't there, were you?" "You were supposed to be off today." "One of the girls was sick." "Tom Davis called me to fill in." "Darling, I can't believe it." "Are you all right?" "How did you get hurt?" "He" "The man hit me." "Oh, no." "I'm all right." "He killed a guard, though." "Oh, my God." "Oh, you" "You poor darling." "You've been through all that?" "Well, are you sure you're all right?" "Listen, I'm gonna get ahold of Frank Kamer." "Have him take a look at you and run some tests." "Dean, I just came from the hospital." "Well, who saw you there?" "Some intern just out of med school?" "Listen, darling, you deserve the best and Frank Kamer's the best." "You still look a little shaky to me." "I don't need another doctor." "I don't need another doctor." "I just need you to hold me." "Just hold me." "Just please hold me." "All right, babe." " It's okay." " Just hold me." " What is this?" "A power shortage?" " No." "A film festival." " Film festival." " Yeah." "Hey, you got that developed pretty fast, buddy boy." "Yeah." "The lab needed the overtime." "There." "Right there." " What?" " She knew him." "I'm sure of it." "Or thought she did." "There's a big difference, buddy boy." "Hey, you guys wanna give us a little light around here?" "Yeah, Bill, sorry." "Even when I talked to her, I knew she was holding something back." " Well, run a make on her." " Got RI on it." "Good, what about the taxi?" " No word yet." " Well, jump on them again." "Tell them we want it now, not next week." " Mike?" " Yeah." "Duck squat." "That phrase match you asked for?" "Turned up a guy with two priors." "Both armed robbery and both branch banks." "He used the same expression?" " He did the last time out." " Come on." "Bill, push those guys for that taxi information." " Check this number out, will you?" " Okay." "Thank you." "Poor Pretty Boy." "Still don't feel well, do you?" " Morning." " Good morning." " How you feel?" " Like a new woman." "Nothing wrong with the old one, if you ask me." "Hey, you're up early this morning." "Where you off to?" "Just thought I'd go out and get a breath of fresh air." "Nothing special." "You give me a chance to get dressed, I'll go with you." "You have to play golf with some clients." "So?" "I can cancel." "Don't be silly." " You sure?" " Positive." "To be continued." "I'm gonna hold you to that." " Have a good morning." " You too, hon." "If I just scored a hundred thou," "I don't think I'd return here for anything." "Anybody ever tell you you'd make a lousy crook?" "You think being a cop was my first choice?" " Check the back." " Right." " Yeah?" " Taylor?" "Binx Taylor?" " Who wants to know?" " Police." "Steve!" " Okay, man." " All right, on the wall." "Let's go." "What are you doing?" "I'm clean." "You got no business hassling me." "What do you know about the Bay National Bank?" " The what?" " The bank, man, the bank." " I don't know nothing about no bank." " All right, Taylor, duck squat." " What?" " You heard me, man." "Duck squat." "Put your hands behind your neck." "Lose something, Taylor?" "So you know I gotta fly to Denver tonight to see a client." "You know, sometimes I get the feeling you've got another girl hidden away." "You should see someone about your fantasies, dear." "Anybody in particular?" " You couldn't afford the price." " We'd work it out." " Call you tonight, love." " Okay." " Bye-bye." " Bye-bye." " Kate." "Please." " Get away from me." " No, listen to me." "Please." " You hurt me." "No, darling, I can explain." " Let go of me." " No, please listen to me." "Darling, she's a client." "A client, nothing more." "It's an account I need." "I swear to God." "Nothing more." "What did you need me for?" "The bank?" "Don't do it, Katie." "Please." "Not till we can talk." "You don't know what happened or why it happened." "Darling, I did it for us." "Everything was for us." "I love you, Katie." "Please." "I love you." "Would you turn around, please?" "Turn around." "Now, you mind telling me what that was all about?" "It was my fault, officer." "He was just trying to keep me from doing something foolish." "I don't deserve you, darling." "I really don't." "I destroyed everything we had together." "How can I expect you to understand why I had to do it?" "I understood." "You told me and I understood." "You say you do because you're beautiful." "Really beautiful." "You know, I was scared back there." "Terrified." "I can't allow that fear to involve you in what I did." "I should've told that cop right then but I couldn't." "I think I can now." "I just had to tell you first." "No." "You took that money to cover what you stole from the firm." "Now that you've put it back, nobody knows." "And nobody knows about the bank but me." "I have to do it, darling." "I can't live with myself anymore." " I have to get it over with." " Listen to me." "That security guard died." "I know you didn't mean for him to but he did." "That means a life sentence." "Even with parole." "Dean, I'm not young anymore." "By the time you're free" "I love you." "Don't ask me how or why." "I just do." "I love you and I need you now." "Okay." "Okay." "Well, what about the stash?" "Well, you bet I saw him throw it and I saw him belt my partner to get a chance to do it." "Well, you just give us the dates and we'll both be there." "Scratch Taylor." "He's got an alibi." "He was in court all day yesterday trying to beat an assault rap." "Well, I guess we knew that when we nailed him." "Listen, you got something smaller for a buck?" "Did you look in the kitty?" " Yeah, but there's not enough." " Put in an IOU." "Oh, come on." "Come on, now." "A dime." "You gotta have a dime." "How come I always gotta have a dime when you never do?" "What do you mean, never do?" "If I kept track of how much money I put for your coffee habit," "I'd have a week's pay by now." "Okay, buddy boy." "What's chewing on you?" "I don't know." "I guess it's" "It's that bank guard." "Just about to retire." "Also all these dead ends." "I just got this from RI." "So that's it, huh?" "Pride?" "Now wait a minute." "Wait just one minute." "Now, before you get the old needle in too far, remember you're the man that told me to listen to my gut as well as my head." "And my gut tells me that woman's covering up." "There's nothing she had to cover on a record like this." "Not even a parking ticket." "No debts." "A-one credit." "Same address for the past 17 years." "Same phone number, same job, there's no passport." "That means she didn't do any travelling." " Right." " Lifestyle hasn't changed any." "Nothing here that sounds like she jumped into the middle of a bank." "I got nothing." "All I got is what I feel and what I saw in that film." "A picture of a woman walking towards a man with a gun." "She's as straight as could be, but tell me she's gonna talk that dude into backing out the same way he came in or something?" "What was she doing?" " You tell me." " I don't know, Mike." "But I wanna find out." "Put a team on her and have her staked out." "Hold it." "Hold it right there." "Now, wait a minute." "Maybe I did tell you some time or other to play your hunches." "But you do know, don't you, that somebody has to pay for them." "Right?" "Now, what do you think we'd look like asking for a stakeout on information like this?" " Oh, Mike?" " Yeah." " I found your cabby." " Oh, good." " Here's that number." " Thanks." "What number?" "Just a hunch." "I'm not leaving myself open yet." "Miss Evans, is it?" "Yes." "And you're a friend of Dean's?" "Yes." "Quite a good friend." "Sorry." "I don't remember his mentioning you." "No, I'm sure he never did." "Is there something I can do for you?" " Did he give you that?" " What?" "The ring." "Yes." " I'm sorry." "I guess I" " And you gave him the bracelet?" " Yes." " The gold bracelet." "He's been wearing it the last three months." "Is that when you became engaged?" "Yes." "Forgive me, Miss Evans." "But I don't" "Miss Campbell, you asked me a question that I didn't answer." "Yes, there's something you can do for me." "And for yourself." "You can give him up." "What did you say?" "You can give him up." "He's not for you and you're not for him." "He's a cripple." "He's a strange, confused boy, really." "And he's trying so hard to" "Who are you?" "Have you wondered about times when he couldn't be with you?" "When he had to be somewhere else?" "I'm it." "The business meetings." "The trips out of town, the late-night work, the golf games with clients." "You and Dean?" "I'm sorry." "I just don't believe it." "I know." "I didn't believe it either, Miss Campbell, until I found out that you were all those things." "So whether you admit it or not, Miss Campbell, we have a great deal in common." "The only difference is you could never forgive Dean." "And I can." "I lost my pride a long time ago." "I'll be 41 years old before this year is over." " And before my life is over, I want" " Get out." "Get out." "Yeah, yeah." "Real smooth dude." "Yeah." "Figured he was doing all right in one of those places." "Laid a 5 on me when I took him back." "Where you picked him up and dropped him off?" "Yeah, you know, stocks and bonds." "Stuff like that." "You know, a cat could make a real nice little stash if you like that kind of hassle." " What's the address?" " Oh, no address." "Just a corner." "Same one I picked him up at." " What corner was that?" " Montgomery and Bush." " Well?" " It's terrific, huh?" "Just great." "Right in the middle of money market." "You know, it would take-- Oh, at least five yea" " Oh, no." "Ten years to canvass all these offices here." "Give me a dollar, will you?" "What do you want with a dollar?" "Gotta make a phone call and you took my last dime." "Hi." "Okay." "Okay, what's the deal?" "Same prefix." "This could be the best dime you ever spend in your life." "Well, it's a dime to you, but it's a buck to me and I still don't have any idea what it's going to buy." "When I went to the hospital to see Kate Evans, she was on a payphone." "Well, she must've put a quarter in on a dime call." "The operator was gonna give her her money back, you know how they do?" "Anyway, I didn't think much of it then, but later on it hit me." " What hit you?" " Who was she calling?" "They keep records of things like that." "I had Tanner check it out and he gave me this" "Could you repeat that, please?" "Thank you very much." "The way you describe him, it just has to be Mr. Knox." "He's as well-known around here for his wardrobe as his knowledge of Wall Street." "We certainly appreciate what you're doing for us." "Not at all." "That's his office straight ahead." " Do you happen to know who she is?" " His fiancée, I think." "Or maybe it was." " Steve." " Got it." "Well, thank you very much." "I'll announce myself." "Yes, Katherine Evans is one of my clients." "Small investments, of course." "I mean, nothing more than ten shares at a time." "But I don't follow, lieutenant." "Are you trying to tell me you suspect Miss Evans of being involved in this?" "Well, you do know she works at that bank." "Yes." "I mean, no." "I mean, I didn't know that she worked in that bank." "I knew she worked at a bank somewhere." "But like I said, she's not a very large investor." "Just thought, being her broker and all, you might know if she had any money troubles." "Well, I wish I could help you, sir." "But as far as I'm aware, Miss Evans has no financial problems at all." "None." "That's good enough for me." "Say, I appreciate your time." "Not at all." "Say," "I suppose in your business, a lot of clowns come to you and ask you for..." "But if you did have a few beans laying around and you'd like to see them grow a little?" "Right." "We're getting a lot of action recently from National Wheel and Brake." "National Wheel and Brake?" "Right." "Gone up seven points this week already." "Seven points." "And I suspect it's gonna hit another 15 to 20 before it starts to peak." "National Wheel and Brake." "Right." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "There it is." "Reverse it." "Move in on his wrist." "Hold it right there." "I knew it." "I knew I'd seen it before." "Turn it off." "Bet Kate Evans recognised it too." "I'll bet she gave it to him." "I don't know." "That looked pretty expensive." "That looked more like that-- That Campbell girl's style, you know?" "Finally found a way to join it." "Yep." " Do we wanna bring him in?" " Oh, no." "No, not yet." "The DA would laugh us right out of the office." "You know, the mask that he had on there is nothing compared to the one that he put on for me." "Mr. Innocence." "I'll bet you if they gave him a lie-detector test he wouldn't even wiggle the needle." "We gotta find something to lock him up good." "Something solid." "How about your lady, buddy boy?" "Think we can crack her?" "Yeah." "I think so." "If she knows, yeah." "She knows." "The question is, does she know too much for her own good?" " Happy?" " You know I am." " You didn't tell anybody, did you?" " You said not to." "You're sure you wanna stick with me?" "You know that too." "Your last chance to bail out." " Miss Evans?" " She ain't here." " Do you know where she is?" " Vacation." "Well, where?" "I don't know." "Ma'am, it's very important." "They wanted to be by themselves." "They?" "Her boyfriend." "Say, is she in any kind of trouble or anything?" "She could be unless we find her, yes." "I promised not to tell anyone." "But, well, she left Pretty Boy with me." "The bird." "He's been sick with pneumonia." "It's a big responsibility." "What do I know from birds?" "Anyway, she told me if anything happened to him," "I could reach her at Pine Wood Lodge." "That's Marin County." "And plenty private." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "What are you smiling about?" "It's gonna be a beautiful sunset." "You're an incorrigible romantic, dear." "I know." "I am." "I had to invent most of my life." "I must've been the loneliest person in the world till I met you." "Now how'd I get into that?" "Let's go down to the point and watch the sunset." "I'm delighted you're so overwhelmed with my suggestion." "It's not that." "It's just that" "I've always had this thing about heights." "Of course, darling." "I'm sorry, I forgot." "It's silly, I know." "I mean, you'd think after all these years," "I would have worked it out." "Not to worry." "We'll think of something else." "No, if you wanna go to the point to watch the sun set, let's go to the point and watch the sun set." "Okay." " You the boys from the city?" " You find them?" "Nobody registered here under the names you radioed in." " What about the descriptions?" " The guy at the desk says a couple checked in a little earlier." "He didn't see him." "His wife gave them the key while he was having lunch." " Check the unit?" " Nobody there." "Car's still here, though." "What about the trail?" "Thought the best I could do till you got here was keep my eye on the car." "Stay with it." "Come on." "You're right." "It's beautiful." "Come here, love." "No." "Not yet." "Dean?" " What?" " I have a confession to make." "Oh, really?" "I talked to Lindsay Campbell." "Yeah, I know." "You didn't have to do that, Kate." "You didn't have to lie to me either." "I would have understood." "I understood the moment I saw her." "She's young and wealthy and beautiful and all the things a man like you really wants." "All the things I'm not." "How could you understand?" "I mean, what do you really know about me, Kate?" "I know you brought me up here to kill me." "You believe that and you still came?" "I had to." "Am I wrong?" "You know, Kate, when you first started to work at that bank," "I was still in high school fighting for tips at the country club." "Parking cars, carrying golf bags, cleaning out the locker rooms." "Watching the beautiful people glide in and out like they owned the world." "And you know what?" "They did." "At least the world I wanted to belong to." "Do you have any understanding of what I'm trying to say?" "No." "No, none at all." "All you ever wanted was a man, right?" "Just a man, any man." "You used me." "You used me to find out when the bank was the most vulnerable." "And it worked, didn't it?" "Because you knew I was vulnerable." "I've always been curious, Kate." "Did you ever think I could love you?" "I mean, didn't it ever occur to you that you and I don't even breathe the same air?" "It doesn't matter." "I do want you to know that I didn't plan for any of this to happen." "For you to die, I mean." "Come on, Kate." "I loved you very much and you betrayed me." "I loved you so much." "Kate." "But you've never suffered." "You have never suffered the way you made me suffer." "You've never suffered the way you made me suffer." "And you're evil, Dean." "You're evil!" "Come on, take him." "Help!" "Dean!" "Please help!" "Your choice." "Are you all right?" "I don't know." "I guess I won't know for a very long time." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Hey, Mike, how's it going?" " Give me a paper." " Here you are." " No game yesterday." " I know that." "What do you think, I only read the box scores?" "What is this with the Financial section?" "Here we go, over the counter." " What's over the counter?" " National Wheel and Brake." "Now, wait a minute." "Is that that stock Knox turned you on to?" "Oh, here it is." "Now, let's see." "Why, that no good, chiselling, lousy bum." " Did you put your savings into it?" " No, I didn't put my savings into it." "But for the first time in his life, he was telling the truth." " Up 21 points." " Serves you right." "Serves me right?" "What do you mean, serves me right?" "Do you know what it means, up 21 points?" "Do you know what a fella could do with that kind of dough?" "Up 21 points."

"Your fire is dying here." "Why don't you tell me where the piece is right now?" "Listen, Herr Mac, I don't know who you're used to dealing with, but nobody tells me what to do in my place." "Let me show you what I am used to." "Take your hands off me!" "Take your lousy hands off!" "Wait!" "I can be reasonable." " That time is past." " You don't need that." "Wait." "I'll tell you everything." "Yes, I know you will." "Let her go." "Whisky." "Shoot them." "Shoot them both." "My medallion!" "At least you haven't forgotten how to show a lady a good time." " You're something!" " Tell you what..." "Until I get back my $5,000, you're getting more than you bargained for." "I'm your goddamn partner!" "Cairo, city of the living." "A paradise on earth." "Why do you forget yourselves?" "What is this?" "Where did this animal come from?" "Oh, no." "Cute." "What an adorable creature." "Then it shall be welcome in our house." "You don't have to keep it just because of me." "I knew the Germans would hire you, Sallah." "You're the best digger in Egypt." "My services are inconsequential to them." "They've hired every digger in Cairo." "The excavation is enormous." "They hire strong backs and pay pennies." "It's as if the Pharaohs had returned." " When did they find the map room?" " Three days ago." "They have not one brain among them." "Except one..." "He's very clever." "He's a French archaeologist." " What's his name?" " They call him Bellosh." "Belloq." "Belloq." "The Germans have a great advantage over us." "They are near to discovering the Well of Souls." "They're not going to find it without this." "Who can tell us about these markings?" "Perhaps a man I know can help us." "Indy, there's something that troubles me." "What is it?" "The Ark." "If it is there at Tanis, it is something Man was not meant to disturb." "Death has always surrounded it." "It is not of this earth." " Do we need the monkey?" " I'm surprised at you." "Talking that way about our baby." " He's got your looks, too." " And your brains." "I noticed that." "She's a smart little thing." "Smart." " Where are you going?" " She'll be all right." "Have a date." "Come on, come on..." "Marion!" " What's this?" " It's a date." "You eat them." "Why haven't you settled down and had nine kids like Sallah?" "Who says I haven't?" "I do." "Dad had you figured long ago." " He said you were a bum." " That's generous." "The most gifted bum he ever trained." "He loved you." " Took a lot for you to alienate him." " Just you." "Marion, get out of here!" "Duck!" "Right!" "Help!" "Over here, Indy!" "Get out of the way!" "Move it!" "Help me!" "You can't do this to me." "I'm an American." "Indiana Jones!" "Help me, Jones!" "Marion..." "You looking for me?" " Belloq." " Good afternoon, Dr Jones." " I ought to kill you now." " Not a very private place for a murder." "They don't care if we kill each other." "They're not gonna interfere in our business." "It was not I who brought the girl into this." "Sit down before you fall down." "We can at least behave like civilised people." "I see your taste in friends hasn't changed." "Odd that it should end this way, after so many stimulating encounters." "Where shall I find a new adversary so close to my own level?" "Try the local sewer." "You and I are very much alike." "Archaeology is our religion." "Yet we have both fallen from the purer faith." "Our methods do not differ as much as you pretend." "I'm a shadowy reflection of you." "It would take only a nudge to make you like me." " To push you out of the light." " Now you're getting nasty." "You know it's true." "How nice." "Look at this." "It's worthless." "$10 from a street vendor." "Bury it in the sand for a thousand years and it becomes priceless." "Like the Ark." "Men will kill for it." "Men like you and me." "What about your boss, der Führer?" "I thought he was waiting to take possession." "All in good time, when I'm finished with it." "Jones, do you realise what the Ark is?" "It's a transmitter." "It's a radio for speaking to God." "And it's within my reach." "You want to talk to God?" "Let's go see him together." "I've nothing better to do." "Uncle Indy!" "Come back home now!" "Next time, Indiana Jones, it'll take more than children to save you." "I thought I would find you there." "Better than the US Marines, eh?" " Marion's dead." " Yes, I know." "I'm sorry." "Life goes on, Indy." "There is the truth!" "I have much to tell you." "First, we'll take them home." "Then I will take you to the old man." "How did Belloq do it?" "Where'd he get a copy of the headpiece?" "There are no pictures, no duplicates anywhere." "I tell you only what I saw myself." "A headpiece like that one, except the edges were rougher." "In the centre, the Frenchman had a crystal, and surrounding the crystal on one side were raised markings, like that one." "They made the calculations in the map room?" "This morning." "Belloq and the boss German, Dietrich." "When they came out, they gave us a new spot to dig in, away from the camp." " The Well of Souls, huh?" " Come, come, look here." " Sit down, come, sit down." " What is it?" "This is a warning not to disturb the Ark of the Covenant." "Did Belloq get the height of the Staff from here?" "Yes, it is here." "This was the old way." "This means six kadam high." " About 72 inches." " Wait!" "And take back one kadam to honour the Hebrew God whose Ark this is." "You said their headpiece only had markings on one side." "You sure?" "Belloq's staff is too long." "They're digging in the wrong place!" "I am the monarch of the sea I am the ruler of the..." "Bad dates." "I told you not to be premature in your communiqué to Berlin." "Archaeology is not an exact science." "It does not deal in time schedules." "The Führer is not patient." "He demands constant reports and expects progress." " You led me to believe..." " Nothing!" "I only said it looked very favourable." "Besides, with the information we have, my calculations were correct." "They're not kidding, are they?" " When does the sun hit the map room?" " About 9 in the morning." "Not much time, then." " Where are they digging for the Well?" " On that ridge." " But the map room is over there." " Let's go!" "Sallah?" "Sallah!" "What is the matter?" "I'll fetch you water, I shall get it for you." "I will get you water." "How is the food?" "I thought you were dead." "They must've switched baskets." " Are you hurt?" " No." "Get me out of here." "They'll be back any minute." "Cut me loose, quick." "They keep asking about you." "What you know." "What's wrong?" "Cut me loose." " I know where the Ark is." " The Ark's here?" "I'm coming with you." "Get me out of here!" "If I take you now, they'll start looking for us." "Get me out of here!" "Are you crazy?" "I hate to do this, but if you don't keep quiet, this whole thing's going to be shot." "I'll be back to get you." "That's it." "Perhaps the Ark is waiting in some antechamber for us to discover." "Perhaps there's some vital evidence eluding us." " Perhaps the girl can help us." " My feeling exactly." "She kept the original for years." "She may know much if properly motivated." "I tell you the girl knows nothing." "I'm surprised you're squeamish." "That's not your reputation." "It needn't concern you." "I have just the man for the job." "Indy, here, we've hit stone." "Clear it off." "Come on, find the edges." "Good, good, good." "You see, Indy?" " OK, bring the pry-bars in." " As a team, boys, as a team!" "Push!" "Get 'em in there." "Get 'em under." "That's it." "Watch your toes!" "Carefully, carefully." "Sorry, Indy." "Indy, why does the floor move?" "Give me your torch." "Snakes." "Why did it have to be snakes?" "Asps." "Very dangerous." "You go first." "To escape on foot, the desert is three weeks in every direction." "So please eat something." "I must apologise for your treatment." "No food, no water." "What kind of people are these friends of yours?" "At this point in my work, they are necessary evils." "They're not my friends." "However, with the right connections, even in this part of the world, we are not entirely uncivilised." " Beautiful." " I would very much like to see you in it." "I'll bet you would." "All right." "What have you got to drink around here?" "We don't have much time." "Soon they'll harm you." "I won't be able to stop them, unless you give me something to placate them." "Some piece of information which I can use to protect you from them." "I've already told you everything." "I have no loyalty to Jones." "He's brought me nothing but trouble." "Marion, you are beautiful." "I don't think we need a chaperone." "Steadily..." "Steadily!" "Down, down." "Carefully, carefully." "You all right, Indy?" "Gently, boys, gently, gently." "I told you it would be all right." "Sallah, get down here." "You pour." "That's good." "Whoops!" "What is this stuff, René?" "I grew up with this." "It's my family label." "Well, I have to be going now, René." "I like you, René, very much." "Perhaps we'll meet someday under better circumstances." "We meet again, Fräulein." "You Americans, you are all the same." "Always over-dressing for the wrong occasions." "Now what shall we talk about?" "All right, take it up." "Easy!" " You're as stubborn as that girl." " You like her too much." "Your methods of archaeology are too primitive for me." "You would use a bulldozer to find a china cup." "Wake your men!" " Indy, the torches are burning out." " Go on, get out of here." " Sallah." " Hello, hello!" "Dr Jones, whatever are you doing in such a nasty place?" "Come down, I'll show you." "Thanks, but we're very comfortable up here." "That's right, isn't it?" "Yes, we are very comfortable up here." "So, once again, what was briefly yours is now mine." "What a fitting end to your life's pursuits." "You'll be a permanent addition to this archaeological find." "In a thousand years, even you may be worth something." " Son of a bitch." " We must be going now." "Our prize is awaited in Berlin." "But I do not wish to leave you all alone." "Slimy pig, let me go." "Stop it!" "Hang on!" "Don't fall." "I've got an idea." "You traitor, get your hands off of me!" "Snakes..." "At your feet!" " The girl was mine!" " She's no use to the Führer's mission." "I wonder sometimes if you have that clearly in mind." " It was not to be, chérie." " You bastards, I'll get you for this!" "Indiana Jones, adieu." "Take this." "Wave it at anything that slithers." "This whole place is slithering!" " Indy!" " Jesus!" " Where did you get this?" "From him?" " I was trying to escape." " How hard did you try?" " Where the hell were you?" " What are you doing?" " Help me, fire!" " How do we get out?" " I'm working on it." "Do it faster." " Where are you going?" " Through that wall." " Get ready to run, whatever happens." " What do you mean by that?" "Indy!" "Don't leave me here by myself." " Here we go, get ready!" " Indy, the torch is going out!" "Look, look." "They're flying it out." "When it's loaded, we'll already be on the plane." "Monsieur, let us toast our success in the desert." "To the Ark." "When we are far from here, and not with you." "Stay with the Ark!" "Look out!" " Oh, my God!" " Marion...!" "I'm locked in here." "I'm here!" " Indy, I'm stuck." " Pull on the latch." "I'm stuck." "Indy, I can't force the lock." " It's stuck." " Turn it." " It's stuck." " Never mind." "Get back!" "Get the Ark away from here." "Put it on the truck." "We will fly it out of Cairo." "And, Gobler, I want plenty of protection." "Jones...!" "Holy smoke!" "My friends, I'm so pleased you're not dead." "We have no time if you want the Ark." "It's been loaded onto a truck for Cairo." "Truck?" "What truck?" "Let's go!" "Get back to Cairo." "Get us some transport to England." "Boat, plane, anything." "Meet me at Omar's." "I'm going after that truck." " How?" " I don't know." "I'm making this up as I go." "Everything is arranged." "The Ark is on board." "Nothing's lacking now you're here." " You trust these guys?" " Yes." "Mr Katanga." "Mr Katanga, these are my friends." "They are my family." "I will hear of it if they are not treated well." "My cabin is theirs." "Mr Jones, I've heard a lot about you, sir." "Your appearance is exactly the way I imagined." "Goodbye." "Look after each other." "I am already missing you." "You're my good friend." "That is for Fayah." "That is for your children." "And this is for you." "Thank you." "A British tar is a soaring soul" "As free as a mountain bird" "His energetic fist should be ready to resist" "Where did you go?" " I've been cleaning up." " Where did you get that?" " From him." " Who "him"?" "Katanga." "I'm not the first woman to travel with these pirates." " It's lovely." " Yeah?" " Yeah." " Really?" "What did you say?" "Wait, I don't need any help." "You do..." "You're not the man I knew ten years ago." "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage." "I don't need a nurse." "I just want to sleep." " How's this here?" " Go away...!" "Yes, it hurts." "Goddamn it, Indy." "Where doesn't it hurt?" "Here." "Here." "This isn't too bad." "Here." "We never seem to get a break, do we?" " What is it?" " Engines have stopped." "I'm gonna do a check." " What's happening?" " We have most important friends." "You and the girl must disappear in the hold." "Go, go!" "Don't you touch me." " What about Jones?" " No trace yet." "Jones is dead." "I killed him." "He was of no use to us." "This girl has certain value where we're headed." "She'll bring a good price." "Herr Colonel, that cargo you've taken." "Take it, but leave us the girl." "It will reduce our loss." "Savage, you are not in the position to ask for anything." "We will take what we wish, then decide whether to blow up your ship." "The girl goes with me." "She'll be part of my compensation." "I'm sure your führer would approve." "If she fails to please me, you may do with her as you wish." "Excuse me." "I can't find Mr Jones." "I've looked everywhere." "He's got to be here somewhere." " Look again." " I've found him." " Where?" " There." "The altar has been prepared as you instructed." "Good." "Take the Ark there immediately." "Monsieur..." "I am uncomfortable with the thought of this Jewish ritual." "Are you sure it's necessary?" "Let me ask you this:" "Would you be more comfortable opening the Ark in Berlin for your führer and finding out only then if the sacred Covenant is inside, and whether you've accomplished your mission and obtained the one true Ark?" "I'm going to blow up the Ark, René." "Your persistence surprises even me." " You'll give mercenaries a bad name." " Dr Jones..." "Surely you don't think you can escape?" "That depends how reasonable we're all willing to be." "All I want is the girl." " If we refuse?" " Then your führer has no prize." "OK, stand back." "All of you, stand back, right back." "OK, Jones, you win." "Blow it up." "Yes, blow it up." "Blow it back to God." "All your life has been spent pursuing archaeological relics." "Inside the Ark are treasures beyond your wildest aspirations." "You want to see it open as well as I." "Indiana, we are simply passing through history." "This... this is history." "Do as you will." "Marion, don't look at it, no matter what happens." "It's beautiful!" " Indy?" " Don't look." "Keep your eyes shut!" "You've done your country a great service." "We trust you found the settlement satisfactory." "The money's fine." "The situation is unacceptable." " I guess that wraps it up." " Where is the Ark?" "I thought we'd settled that." "The Ark is somewhere safe." " From whom?" " It's a source of unspeakable power." " It has to be researched." " And it will be." "I assure you, Dr Brody." "Dr Jones." "We have top men working on it right now." " Who?" " Top men." "Hey, what happened?" "You don't look very happy." " Fools!" " What did they say?" " They don't know what they've got." " I know what I've got here." "Come on, I'll buy you a drink." "You know, a drink?"

" Show me how to go this place." " (THAI Pai-tang-non-ja)" " No, go to this way?" " (THAI Mai-chai-pai-tang-non)" "(THAI 163/2 Ban-Kok-Putsa)" "Can anyone here speak English?" "I'm looking for this village..." "Seem to have lost my way." "No problem you are here." "This is Ban Kok Putsa." "I have important news to tell you..." "I've come a long way..." ""Amazing Thailand", 6,000 miles." "Another continent, another culture, another planet." "Great feeling to be leaving England behind." "Don't know what to expect... but hoping for something new." "Thailand was Kate's idea to develop our relationship." "But driving from the airport," "Bangkok didn't quite seem what we had expected." "Somehow I'd imagined something a little less... concrete, less western." "Twenty baht, huh?" "Hey, want to look here, madam." "Have everything you want." "Check this." "Come on, Kate." " What're you doing?" " I thought you needed a bed." "Can't you just wait a minute?" "So let's dump the bags..." "then go shopping yeah..." "You want room?" "Have room here." "I'm going out." "Going out where?" "Don't know... somewhere... outside." "Meet some locals." "By yourself?" "For a couple of hours, yeah..." " What?" " Nothing." "Give me a break." "You want a break, fine, have one." "but I won't be here when you get back." " Come on Kate." "You're tired..." " Well, you noticed." "You've been acting funny since you been on the plane." "Yeah... well, travel does that to some people." "And after all I am a woman..." "Tell me about it." "Maybe we should just forget it." "What do you mean?" "Never mind." "No, what do you mean?" "Adam, just go out and meet your locals." "If you've got something to say Kate, just say it." "Adam just leave it." " No... what have you got to say." " Right." "I don't fancy you anymore." "You've brought me all this way to tell me that." "No, Adam." "I've brought myself all this way to relax." "And you are just irritating... and so heavy." "Yes Sir." "I can take you." "A helpful guy in a tuk-tuk offered to show me around..." "VIP Massage, Good for you." "...but gazing at girls in a goldfish bowl isn't really my scene." "And the endless rows of watches, CDs and designer labels... only reminded me of what I'm trying to escape from." "So I wandered off down an old railway track... and got my first taste of Tom Yum soup and Thai wisdom." "Farang, farang." "Sit down, sit down." "Farang?" "What is farang?" "Farang mean foreigner." "You farang." "If you think good, speak good, do good, happiness come." "If you think no good, speak no good, do no good, problem come." "Chork Dee." "Good luck for you." "Kate?" "Adam, I had to cash my cheques, here is your share... sorry, its so bulky but you should get yourself organised next time." "You see, I meant it." "Better we go our separate ways - maybe this trip will make a man of you." "See you on the flight home." "Kisses, Kate..." "PS." "Don't come looking for me." "For a moment, Kate's note was a shock... then there was a weird sense of relief... so when I heard her laughing, it was as if I hadn't known her at all." "Let's get acquainted." "You want to bought me." "I see you look me, madam." "I have everything you want." "Check me." "Day 2 Break up with my girlfriend on first night... going to take a bus south." "Inside." "Chaweng." "Chaweng." "Yeah, I'll take it." "I'm really sorry." "Was that your dinner?" "I'm sorry." "Here." "Um... (Out..." "Mai-ao." "Mai-ao. )" "Um... you have small money?" "No, I haven't." "It's... it's ok." "Mai pen rai." "You speak Thai?" "Oh, just phrasebook stuff you know." "Mai pen rai-no problem." "Isn't that the first thing you learn when you get here?" "Sabai, sabai." "Sabai, sabai." "What does that mean?" "Take it easy..." "Come on." "You want to play or not?" "I'd love to but I don't think they gonna let me." "Sorry, enjoy your food, yeah." "Bye." "(OUT Puchai Khon Nee Loe Dee Nor. )" "(OUT Jai Dee Duay. (Good Heart)" "Let's go." "Finally." "Wait." "Come on." "Your serve." "Where you going handsome man?" "sit down." " No no, I'm just..." " Do you want to drink?" " No no, I'm not stopping." " You got lady?" "No... er... no no no, got no lady." "You want to go with me?" "No... er... well, I'd love to but as I say I'm just looking around, yeah?" "If you go with me, good for you and good for me." "I take care." "No charge for you." "I give for free." "Lor (Handsome)." "Look, maybe I come back." "Yeah..." " Are you sure?" " Maybe." " Sure?" " Sure." "See you later yeah?" "I don't have money." "My family is very poor." "Yeah, baby." "That's sweet." "Excuse me sir." "How old are you?" "Yeah, Sorry, can I have like er..." "local beer," " Thai beer, or something?" " No... no, no, no." "Try some of this local grog, recommended." "Sharpens vision, mildly hallucinogenic." "Sounds like a bit in contradiction?" "New boy in town, ah?" "Yeah, just been acquainting myself with the local customs." "No, no, no, I'll get these." "I'd be careful carrying that lot around if I was you, specially if you're having a couple of these, ha." "Yeah, well... its my divorce settlement." "Ah... not another broken marriage?" "Yeah, Unbelievable, first night." "That's no world record in this place son." "This place does strange things to people." "Sounds like the voice of experience." "Oh yes." "So what do you do, like work here or something?" "I've got my finger in a few little pies, you know." "It's a great life." "Come along, chin-chin." "Oh... fuck me." "Have you tried Thai massage yet?" "Man, you see, the beauty about Thai massage... apart from its health benefits... is that you can just lie back, relax." "For one whole hour... some beautiful young woman is going to pay your body... the biggest compliment its ever received." "And it's Unconditional." " But you've got to pay for it?" " Of course you have to pay." "So it's not exactly Unconditional then is it?" "I'm talking about the emotional stuff." "No need to get all anxious about "satisfying your partner"." "I bet your girlfriend never touched you... without expecting something in return." "And you pay 200 baht for an hour " "I mean, what's that, the price of a Big Mac?" "You know you'd pay ten times that in England, that's if you could even find a genuine massage!" "So it's not an excuse for sex?" "Oh no, no, no, this is a spiritual experience." "Why don't I take you down to Sao's?" "This wouldn't happen to be one of pies you have your finger in?" "You could say that, and a very tasty pie too, I may add." "Hey get it Joey?" "Throw away, Jimmy." "Here, did I tell you to be careful of backstreet blowjobs with ladyboys." "No, it wasn't the first thing on my agenda." "I don't care what you are, if you are a faggot or anything." "I don't care." "But you've got to watch them ladyboys." "Oh..." "I love you long time." "Yeah, I'll show you what they do, right." "Undo your pants." " Fuck off." " Come on." "Undo your pants is a scientific demonstration." " You're having a laugh aren't you?" " This is essential information... which you need to know for your well-being on this island." "God Almighty" "Listen, so they undo your pants... and then they'll pull them down round your ankles, right... and they start giving head, oh... yeah... enjoy... you're counting stars." "and what happens..." "they've got their hand in your pockets." "Catch me..." "So you know the language then, Joey?" "Oh well, you gotta know the essentials." "You know, like Mao-drunk," "Ting Tong-crazy and Fun Dee-sweet dreams." "You gotta watch the tones, you know." "For example, you can describe a woman as suaay-beautiful." "But if you pronounce it suay, it means bad Luck." "I guess you could say some of them around here are both." "Look at this honey, mate?" "Hallo, massage!" "Thanks, Sao." "Me no have." "Hairy arms?" "Glad to hear it." "What do you think?" "Yeah, are these all the girls?" "I can see you're a man of discerning good taste." "Come on inside." "We'll see what we can find in there." "Okay." "Thank you very much." " Nice to meet you." " Bye." "No... no." "Em, this your birthday present." "I had him sent here from England." " Hello." " Hello." "So what do you think?" "Yeah, great." "I'll try one of these Thai massages then." "Enter." "Khob Khun Krub." "Fun dee!" " Hi." " Hi." "Where you come from?" "From England." "Oh." "England have snow." "Yeah, sometimes." "Where do you come from?" "Isaan upcountry." "Long way." "Very beautiful, have mountain, have lake, have fishing." "I like fishing." "I Used to fish when I was a little boy." "Mother and baby sister." "Ah..." "lovely faces." "No father, eh?" "No." "Lie down, please." "Finish." "Thank you." "How long you stay in Thailand?" "Just a few days." "I could stay a lot longer if I like." "Can I take you out for some dinner?" "Cannot." "Working." "What time do you finish work?" "Um..." "Midnight." "Okay, well I'll come back then." "Cannot." "Sleeping." "Can I see you another time?" "Um... tomorrow morning, 10 o'clock." "I'll show you island, OK?" "OK." "See you." "This is another planet." "Thought I knew what life was in England... but this is a whole new reality." "I don't know if I can quite hold it together, but I'm sure I'm not the first." "Hallo, massage." "Hallo, massage." "Em, Em." "Come on in." "I'll catch you." "Cannot, I shy Adam." "Come on." "Cannot." "Day 3." "Em taught me how to pay respect to Buddha." "Sorry." "No problem." "You Farang, you on holiday." "Okay, I like you." "But cannot do like this." "Hom better." "Hom is a Thai kiss." "A sniff, which I haven't quite gonna hang on yet." "Thank you for showing me little Buddha." "Tomorrow I show you big Buddha." "Thank you." "(OUT" " Thai Lung." "Pla-muk-suk-ru-yung?" ") Are the squids cooked?" "I thought you didn't kiss like that." "It's OK.I watch Hollywood movie." "The kiss was everything." "But it wasn't enough." "Darling... you buy me drink?" "Sure." "What would you like?" "What'd you like?" "I want cola." "You forget me?" "Okay, Two cola." " And me." " And me." " And me." " Five cola, that's it." "Short time 1,000 baht." "OK?" "Small money for farang." "How much if I want you all night?" "Love me, longtime, 2,000 baht." "It's too much." "No." "Good price for Farang." "OK?" "Well, I didn't come 6,000 miles to play Connect 4!" "Bye bye, handsome man." "I know it was the booze and flirting which took me to Noi's bar." "But at the time it felt like something else, affecting every action, every thought and word, something more intense, more real." "Walking Noi home I knew that eyes were watching Us." "I was doing something crass... but I went ahead and did it anyway." "Why am I doing this?" "Sorry." "Oh... fuck." "I met this girl and I shouldn't be doing this with you." "Customer often feel confused," "They love his wife, but come to me." "I'm scared that if me and this girl make love it'll mess things Up." "So wait... in Thailand, boyfriend and girlfriend they should wait Until marriage." "Yeah, But I am from England and we have sex before... before we even leave school." "Sure." "Everyone loves sex." "But you have to ask yourself..." ""How do I feel in the morning?"" "How do you mean?" "How you feel afterwards?" "Um..." "Think about eating junk food." "Taste good but afterward your stomach... ah..." "Same-same sex." "If your heart feel happy it's ok." "If your heart feel bad, it's no good." "Heavy heart or heavy balls." "It's Up to you."

"He's an old fool with a... for gossip." "It wasn't really about Preston." "I mean, the truth is that Jodi's behavior was completely inappropriate..." "Baby, when it comes down to it, this is all I have to offer you." " And if you can't love this..." " Joyce!" "Cover your junk!" "Sorry, Bette." "We reschedule?" "Joyce, what are you doing?" "You can't just pop out from behind a plant butt naked." "We have rules here." "I checked first to make sure you didn't have anything." "I was acting with my heart." "I'm a woman in love."

"She doesn't want me to spend this much because she can't afford it." " Is that true?" " Absolutely." "We couldn't even get a bigger appartment because she couldn't share the rent fifty-fifty." "And I also think she resents me because I don't clean as much as she does." "Do you?" "Oh, look, now she's mad." "Is there anything else?" "Tasha broke up with me last week." "Really?" "Why did you break up with Alice, Tasha?" "Because she thought I cheated when I didn't even kiss the girl." "Did you think about it?" "Yeah, but, I mean, she wouldn't have even known if I didn't tell her." "So I think that mere fact that I disclosed the information should count to something." " Right?" " But if you knew Tasha's feelings about the subject of cheating, why did you choose to tell her?" "I think we're past it." " I think what we have to work..." " Alice, this is called couples' therapy for a reason." "Now, Tasha, this process works much more effectively if you participate." "Why do you think Alice told you?" "She doesn't even wanna be here." "I think that she told me because she wanted to break up with me and bringing this woman between us was the easiest way to do that." "She knew how I felt, she knew that" "I would break up with her and when I did, she got scared." "That's why we're here." "Can I help you?" "Uh, yes, I have an appointment?" "I called in earlier?"

"You're with me?" " What?" "What are we gonna do?" " Get my back." "What did she do to Helena?" "Wait a minute." "Right now, I wanna tell her where she gets off messing with my friend." "I'm gonna tell her." "I'm so telling her." "Really..." " Really?" " Excuse me?" "I mean, come on, the hair." "The hair... and the documentaries!" "It's like..." "I'm... not... gay!" "Yeah, it's a good one." "A good one." "I got this." "She's got it." "You look, you look amazing." "Can we talk?" "Okay, so basically, that skankful Dylan Moreland almost ruined entire Helena's life." "First, she pretended to be in love with her, okay?" "So she and her boyfriend could sue her for sexual harassment and extort million of dollars from her." "Hi, we were..." "Sorry, dude, we just left." " Can you believe it?" " Get me a Pellegrino." "So, are you aware that this is my club?" "No, I just came back into town and, I mean, I heard that this was the best girl club in L.A." "And you were looking for a girl club, a lesbian girl club?" "Yes, I mean, you know." "Obviously, you, you helped me with that." "I mean, I finally figured it out, right?" "Good." "I just..." "I can't begin to tell you about how sorry I am about everything, about the way I behave, the way I treated you." "And I don't expect for you to care about my life at all right now." "I..." "I certainly don't expect for you to care that I've," "I've never stopped thinking about you." "Ever." "And wishing that I'd met you at a different time in my life." "I can go if you want me to go." "No, it's fine." "Look, I only came over because it would be akward for me not to say anything, especially since it's my club." "Stay, stay, have a good time." "Enjoy it." "Be with your friends." "So, her mother get so mad she cuts Helena off, so she has to come live with me" " and become a cook!" " I was a caterer." "Which was a disaster, and let's face it" "Helena is used to a certain standard of living." "So she meets this shady high-roller lady." "they hook up but she uses Helena and takes all her money and when Helena takes it back, and we still don't know where she buried it, she gets arrested and has to share a cell with some killer!" " She was in for text fraud." " Alright." "So, her mother can't take it anymore, she bails Helena out, but she doesn't wanna live under her mother's thumb anymore." "So she springs Dusty from jail, they go to Tahaa which she doesn't ever want to talk about, so it couldn't have been that great, right?" "Right." "And her mother gets stung by a jellyfish, all because of this woman." "Want me to kick her ass?" "Thank you." "You're a better person that me." "I'd have to beat a bitch down" " if she tried to do that shit to me." " Are you okay?" "I'm perfect." "And don't even get me started on her kids, 'cause where did they go?" "I don't give a fuck who's idea it was." "You took part." "You manipulated my emotions, you used me, and you humiliated me, and you've got to be fucking insane thinking you could just prance in here act as if nothing ever happened, tell me that you're happy," "tell me that you're out of the closet, tell me that you're oh so sorry for destroying my fucking life." "Fuck you!" "Thank you!" "Now I know you care." "I need my stuff." "Open the door." "Thanks." "So that's it?" "You're done trying?" "I'm out." "I don't see the point with you anymore."

"Or at least I like to think so." " Next." " You know, rumor has it..." "I'm getting some really big news at work today." "At least come out with me." "Celebrate." "I'll buy you a coffee." "Memo to you:" "I work in a coffee shop." "Hi." "What can I get you ?" " Hi." "I'll take" " Want me to stop asking you out ?" "Sorry." "This will just take a sec." "Because, Lola, give me the word and I'll stop." "Yes, I'm gonna give you the word because I'm an actress." "Or at least I'm trying to be one." "I'm trying to concentrate on that." "So, you know, it would be a good thing, if you wouldn't mind, to stop asking me out !" "Honey, you seem so stressed." "I am stressed." "I have a lot on my plate." "So, let's not talk about this now." "Why don't I meet you here, say, tomorrow ?" "1 0:00 ?" "1 0:30 ?" " Okay, that would be good." " So, that's a date ?" "It's a date." "Thank you." "Sir, that was inspiring." "I know." "[Woman] Good morning, Sloane-Curtis." " Good morning, Mr. Marshall." " Hi, honey." " What's the dirt ?" " I was at breakfast this morning" " Hey, Norm !" "You winning ?" " Of course." "I heard Miller's shopping around, looking for a new agency." "Miller Lite." "I know." "I'm all over it." "Also, I heard Darcy McGuire left B.B.D. O. Good morning, Angela." "You're kidding." "Left or was fired ?" "I don't know." "Everyone there is thrilled to get rid of her." "Well, so much for edgy female vision." "So, that girl we met last night at the club, nothing happened after you put her in the cab, right ?" "It did ?" "Something happened ?" "But she said she had to be in bed early." "I had her in bed by 11:00." "Or was it quarter to ?" "You" " You're like a genius, you know that ?" "What can I tell you, buddy ?" "I'm blessed." "And today is my lucky day." "Not only is my ex-wife remarrying-- right now, as a matter of fact-- but Wanamaker called me himself, wanted to see me first thing." " Called twice to confirm." " Call me when he makes it official." "It's not gonna be as easy to suck up to "creative director," you know." "Not to worry." "I'll make us a lunch rez at the Drake to celebrate." "Don't count your chickens, huh ?" "1:00 ?" "Pick you up." "Can I borrow this ?" " Hey, Dina." " Hi." "Do you know the difference between a wife and a job ?" " What is it ?" " After ten years, job still sucks." " [ Laughing ]" " That's a good one, huh ?" "I wouldn't do that if I were you." "That's not a good idea, no." " Oh, Mr. Marshall, hi." " Hey." "I put the storyboards on your desk." "Picked up your shoes from Barney's." "Got your glasses fixed." "There was no charge." "This morning's staff meeting was cancelled." "And I got your cigarettes." "They're next to your laptop." "This morning's staff meeting was cancelled." " That's what I was told." " Hmm." "Good morning, girls." "[ Chuckling ]" "Good afternoon, sire." "Hey, anybody know why the staff meeting was cancelled ?" "Nobody called us." "Oh, but Mr. Wanamaker wants to see you as soon as you get in, which I told his office was 15 minutes ago." " I know." " You couldn't show up on time ?" "You know you're being promoted." "But you look very sharp, by the way." " Thank you." " Like a creative director." " Very distinguished." " [ Exhales Deeply ]" "You able to handle yourselves on the 44th floor ?" "Be truthful." "Are you kidding ?" "We were made for the 44th floor."

"I was in the board meeting that would never end." " Have you been here long ?" " A couple minutes." "That's all." "Jess, can I get a cup of decaf and a couple Tylenol?" "And see if we got any Echinacea." "And I need some club soda." "I got something on my tie." "Know what ?" "Just get me another tie." "I saw the mock-ups you did for Johnny Walker." "They're fantastic." "Oh, that's my job, Dan." "So, you know I'm not great at making speeches, especially when I haven't got you to write them for me." "So, I'll do my best." "I've been in this racket over 30 years." "Let me tell you something, it doesn't get any easier." "As a matter of fact, it gets harder and harder." "The '80s were our glory days." "They were all about alcohol, tobacco and cars." "I felt like I was on top of my game." "And then in the '90s, men stopped dominating how dollars were spent, and we lost our compass." "Women between 16 and 24 are the fastest-growing consumer group." "Girls who were born in the mid-'80s control our advertising dollars." "Sorry." "No Echinacea." "Hi, Nick." " Hey." " Red or lavender?" "Red." "No, no, lavender." "That'sgood." "Lavender's good." "While we've been shooting beer commercials... with the Swedish bikini team, the industry has been transformed." "We were the agency in town ten years ago." "Now we're struggling to be third." "If we don't evolve and think beyond our naturalability, we're gonna go down." ""Think beyond our natural -" I'm not quite clear what you mean." "What do you know about Darcy McGuire ?" "Oh, hey, I heard on the whisper she just left B.B.D. O." "I never met the woman, but I hear she's a real man-eater." "She won that Cleo last year we should have won for the add about" "Oh, yeah, right." "That was her ?" "I forgot about that." "Yeah, I wish I had." "Oh, boy, I hear she is a bitch on wheels." " That's very funny." " Yeah, why ?" "[ Stammers ] 'Cause I just hired her." "To do what ?" "You know I love you, Nick, but it's a woman's world out there." "Getting into a women's psyche is not exactly your strong suit." "You can get into their pants better than anybody on Earth, but their psyche is a whole other ball game." "You hired Darcy McGuire to do what ?" "She hasn't done it on her own yet, but somebody was gonna grab her." "And she's smart, Nick." "She's very smart." "You made her creative director, didn't you ?" "Sorry." "This isn't easy, but I got the board breathing down my neck." "She's coming in this afternoon." "You'll meet her." " Come on." "Roll with this." " [ Coughs ]" "Work with her because she's got what I need to keep this place afloat." "She's got what you need, meaning she's a woman." "You know how we can compete with that ?" "He's coming." "He's coming." "He's coming." "[ Women Scream ]" "Not so fast, girls." "Put it on ice." "We'll break it out soon." "We're not moving to the 44th floor ?" "Not today." " Oh." " Okay, Gigi, one more."

"Well, thanks." "I happen to agree." "So, you're going on a cruise." "Two weeks, huh ?" "Well, actually, the cruise is just the last week." "Alexandra has an itinerary, and I faxed one... to your office yesterday, to your apartment last week." "Ted's office has one, as does the school." "In case I've fallen off the planet?" "You never know." "[ Chuckles ]" "Hey, here she is." "Pretty in pink." "So, two whole weeks together?" " Yeah, how you gonna handle it ?" " l'm gonna love it." "You can take care of your old man." "Cook for me." "Get my slippers." " Yeah, that'll be happening." " Alexandra has a boyfriend now." " Mom !" " So he won't be surprised." "You have a boyfriend ?" "You're only 13 years old." "Am I ?" "I thought I was 15." "[ Chuckles ] We're gonna be fline." "Look, I wanna meet Cameron." " Okay if I meet Dad at his place ?" " Is it all right ?" " Yeah, well, I " " What time ?" "8:00. 9:00, maybe ?" " 7:30." " Okay." " Bye, Mom." " Oh, honey." "I'm gonna miss you." "I'm gonna miss you too." "Ted, have a good time." " Bye, pumpkin." " Bye." " Nick." " Honey." "Later." "Yeah, 7:30's fine." "Thanks for asking." "And the name's Dad." " Here you go." " Thanks." "Hey, I heard." "I can't believe this." "My next headache." "Don't worry." "We'll get through it." "Yeah." "[ Laughing ] Everyone, everyone, meet Darcy McGuire." " Oh, jeez." " [ Applause ]" " My goodness." "Everybody showed up." " Darcy, how are you ?" " Nice to see you." "Hi !" " Pleasant surprise." " God, what a small world." " Welcome aboard." "I'm so glad to meet you." "Hello." "I'm Darcy." "Hi." "I'm Nick Marshall." "Oh, I've heard a lot about you, Nick." "I've heard a lot about you too." "Don't worry, can't all be true." "[ Chuckling ] Let's hope not." "Hey." "Hey, standing room only." "It's a first." "I'm very, very excited for you all to meet Darcy McGuire." "[Applause]" "Darcy's extraordinary reputation... as a leader in the field precedes her." "At B.B.D. O., Darcy led a creative team... that snagged $500 million in new business wins." "And that was just last year alone." "At Sloane-Curtis, we've prided ourselves on our strategic thinking." "Now it's time for us to step up and prove ourselves creatively... in the marketplace." "And I'm thrilled that Darcy has consented to move across town, join our team and lead us into the 21st century." " [ Chuckles ] - [Applause]" "Thank you, Dan." "And thank you all for that warm welcome." "Let me start off by saying the feeling is mutual." "I am absolutely thrilled to be here." "When I first started in this business, it was my dream... to work at Sloane-Curtis." "I even believe I applied for a job here twice." " Somebody call personnel." " [ Laughter ]" "But it was B.B.D. O. that offered me a home." "And what I learned there was that any success I had... was a direct result of the team of people that I work with." "I know that two heads are better than one." "I know that five heads are better than two." "And I know that if we put our heads and our hearts into this company, we will deliver, I know that." "Now, I love challenges." "I love hard work." "I look forward to sitting at this very table tossing ideas around... until what I fear will be the wee hours of the morning." "I want the work we do to say something about who we are." " How we think, what we feel." " I'm sorry." "[ Coughs ] Excuse me." "So, as our friends in Hollywood say, "Let's cut to the chase."" "How are we gonna turn this company around ?" "When Sears decided to go after women in their advertising... and said, "Come see the softer side of Sears,"" "their revenues went up 30%." "Thirty percent." "That's huge." "Female-driven advertising totalled $40 billion last year." "And Sloane-Curtis' share of that was ?" "Zero." "If you want to sell an anti-wrinkle cream... or a Ford Mustang to a woman - forgive me- but this is the last place you bring your business." "And we can't afford to not have a piece of a $40 billion pie." "So, I have put together a little kit for everybody." "Nobody panic." "This is supposed to be fun." "Every product in this box is looking for new representation... right now, and they're all made for women." "I'm pretty sure all the women here are familiar with these products, so for the men let's just briefly run through them." " [ Cracking Knuckles ]" " Here you go, Nick." "Thank you." "Each kit contains anti-wrinkle cream, mascara, moisturizing lipstick, bath beads, quick-dry nailpolish, an at-home waxing kit, a more wonderful Wonderbra," " a pregnancy test, hair volumizer," " Oh, sorry." "pore cleansing strips, Advil, control-top pantyhose and a Visa card." "Now I want everybody to come up with something-- for one product, for two, the whole box-- whatever moves you."

"Sometimes I think you're a bit of a mind reader." "But I don't have to be a mind reader with you." " Hmm." " You always say what you think." " I know." "It's a curse." " What" " Are you kidding ?" "It's a relief-- an enormous relief." "Do you know how rare that is to actually say what you think ?" "Do you have any idea how rare it is for someone to actually like that ?" "Trust me, this has not been a great thing in my life." "My ex-husband didn't love me." "Let's just put it that way." "He didn't love you ?" "Did I just say that ?" "Oh, God !" "[ Laughs ]" "Um, I meant to say "it." He didn't love it-- that I spoke my mind." "If you wanna know the truth, I'm not sure he did really love me." " Ooh." " There's a conversation starter." "God." "A smart person would just get so very drunk now." "How long were you married ?" "A little less than a year." "I've been divorced about nine months now." "We worked together." " You know that, right ?" " Oh, yeah." "I knew that." " I heard it." " Hmm." " What was that like ?" " It was great in the beginning." "But it changed." "It became competitive." "Suddenly, the better I did, the worse we did." "The price I pay for being me." " I know that now." "No, truly." " [ Chuckles ]" " Oh." " No, no, it's true." "Do you wanna know all this about me ?" "Keep going." "Well, that's why I needed to get out there on my own, as scary as it was." "I mean, not scary, but, um" "Well, yeah, I was kind of scared." " Why ?" " I don't know." "I guess I wasn't sure I could do the job." "I mean, I thought I could do it, but I'm finding Sloane-Curtis a tougher place than I thought." "I'm sorry." " I know you were up for my job." " No." " I'm sorry I'm the one that got it." " I'm-I'm not." "I'm not." " I've learned a lot from you." " Like what ?" "Like what ?" "For starters, you really love what you do." " You really love what you do." " Not as much as you do." "How can you say that ?" "You're so great at it." "You're so great at it." "I think Dan's even wondering why he hired me." "Really." "I think the bloom is definitely off the rose." "You wanna hear something really great ?" "Yeah." "I just closed escrow on my first apartment ever." "Finally, I own my own place." " What?" "I wish I was a mind reader." " No." "I was just thinking... how men like me can get so screwed up." "I don't think there are men like you." "If we kissed, would it ruin everything ?" "Listen to me." "I think... you are one of the great women." "I really do." "I'm sorry." "But I just meant to say thank you." "I'm so sorry." "Well, I, uh, guess I'll see you... in, let's see, three and a half hours." "Nick, may I just say... you are an exceptionally great kisser." "No, I mean really, really great." "Well, I haven't had this much fun making out since" "I've never had this much fun making out." "Me either." " Don't let this get weird at work ?" " No." "We have nothing to be embarrassed about." "We made out." "You and I made out." " And if I may, it was" " Sexy as hell." "God." "That's just what I was about to say." "But I think I said it first, I think." " Oh, no, you did." " Oh." "Um, well, all right, then." "Oh, I'm a grown woman." "Just say it." "Do you want to come back to my place ?" "Say it !" "Do you want to come" "Good night, Darcy." "Good night." "Good night." "What am I doing ?" "Lola." "It's okay." "Okay." "Here he comes." " [Lola Muttering, indistinct]" " Lola ?" "I know I haven't heard from you." "Lola, how long have you been out here ?" "Just a few... hours." "Nick, you said that you wouldn't hurt me." "And then you slept with me, and then you didn't call me for six days." "So that, in the world of me, that's torture." "I mean, we have this totally unbelievable, life-altering sex, and then you just disappear." "I mean, you-you-you stopped drinking coffee !" "Lola, I'm so sorry." "It's okay." "It's okay, because I figured out your little secret." " You did ?" " It's so obvious." "How else would you know the things that you know ?" " It wasn't obvious to anybody else." " Nick, come on." "You're so sensitive." "You're so aware of my feelings." "You're so tuned in." "You talk to me like a woman, you think like a woman." "Nick !" "Come on !" "Admit it." "You're totally and completely gay." " I am ?" " You're not ?" "Oh !" "I mean, if you're not, you gotta tell me." "Based on the other night-- Just put me out of my misery." "Are you or aren't you ?" "Say you're gay." "Then I'm not nuts." "I'm not undesirable." "Not rejected by another guy !" "Say it !" "Say you're gay !" "Admit it !" "Okay." "I'm gay." "How gay ?" "Oh !" "I'm as gay as it gets." "You're gonna make some guy very happy someday." "Oh, from your lips." "God, I hate that I'm crying." "Well, look it." "If things should ever change in that department" " You'll be the first to know." " You promise ?" "Oh, yeah, I promise." "Come here." "Oh, boy." "It was very nice meeting you, Nick." "And you." "Thanks for pep talk, yes ?" "You two just take care of each other." " And thanks for the yarmulke." " Oh, no problem." " You wear it well, yes ?" " Happy trails, kids." " Isn't he great ?" " Darcy !" "I need to talk to you." "Uh-oh, look at him." "I knew it." "He is weird about it." "This is not about last night." "It's about the Nike meeting." "And I honestly believe in my gut..." " that you should make the pitch." " Oh, God." "I guilted you into this last night." "No, no." " It would be better if you did it." " No, no, no." "This is your baby." "You've gotta do it." "I gotta go meet and greet these folks." "I'll see you in there." " It's not my baby." " Yes, it is." "I predict no one will even know I'm gone until the files start to build." "It could be days." "And then someone will finally ask," ""Where's the geek in the glasses who carries all the files ?"" "Do either of you two know what the story is on this Erin girl ?" " Miss Lonely Hearts ?" "Who knows ?" " Yeah." "Ooh, I know." "She's been here two years." "She tried to be a copywriter but got turned down." " So she got stuck as a messenger." " What fool turned her down ?" "You did, sire." "Well, did I ever meet with her at least ?" "I don't think so." "As I recall, you told me to "blow her off."" "Well, I wanna meet with her now." "The kid's got something." "She's kind of funny." "This is your lucky day." "I just saw the Nike group get off the elevator." "All women." "Your specialty." "Come on." "I'll walk you up." "I hate what I'm doing to Darcy." "I hate it !" "I'm gonna write her a long letter, confess everything." " You're doing Darcy ?" "Since when ?" " No !" "I said I hate what I'm doing to Darcy." " Men are stupider." "It's true." " Will you stop it ?" " They are." " "They" ?" "Are you a woman now ?" "Oh, I wish." "A woman wouldn't have screwed over the woman she loved." "No, they don't think that way." "And another thing." " This thing about penis envy." " Yeah." "Not true." "No." "They don't envy it." "Half of'em don't even like it." "You know who has penis envy ?" "We do." "That's why we cheat and screw up and lie, because we're all obsessed with our own equipment." " You ready ?" "Okay." " Yeah." "Thanks." "[Nick] You don't stand in front of a mirror before a run... and wonder what the road will think of your outfit." "You don't have to listen to its jokes and pretend they're funny." "It would not be easier to run if you dressed sexier." "The road doesn't notice if you're not wearing lipstick." "It does not care how old you are." "You do not feel uncomfortable... because you make more money than the road." "And you can call on the road whenever you feel like it, whether it's been a day... or even a couple of hours since your last date." "The only thing the road cares about... is that you pay it a visit once in a while." "Nike." "No games." "Just sports." " [Woman Thinking]He nailed it." " They hit a home run."

" I have something I need to finish." " Please ?" "Please." "Okay." "Here you go." " Come with me." " All right." "Should I close my eyes or anything?" "No." "So, you see those top two floors right there ?" "I do." " All mine." " Wow." "Come here." "So this is my" "living room." "It's beautiful." "What are you thinking ?" "You've got that look you have sometimes." "Yeah ?" "No." "I was just wondering when you get to move in." "Well, they said two weeks, so" "Okay." "This is the dining room." " The fireplace works." "Come here." " Wow." "I can see elegant parties in here." "Waiters with caviar," " you in a beautiful gown." " You can see all that ?" "Maybe you're naked and I'm the only guest, but it'd still be elegant." "Okay." "So this is upstairs." "There's a second bedroom or a future office or whatever." " And this is my boudoir." "Your boudoir comes with pretty decent music." "It does." "Where is that coming from ?" "Let's turn up the volume." "So, where's your bed going ?" "Uh, right... here." "So, if you had a bed, we'd be dancing on it." "I like it here." "I like it here too." "No." "I mean, I like it here." "Oh." "[Thunder Rumbling]" "[Dan] Believe me, we're as excited as you are." " Dan ?" "I gotta talk to you." " Yeah ?" "He'll be there." "Bye." "I gotta talk to you too." "That was Nike." "They're gonna announce to the trades that we won the account." "I gotta hand it to you." "You saved my ass." "You saved the company's ass." "Actually, Dan, I had very little to do with saving anybody's ass." "It's Darcy you should be thanking, that's what I want to talk about." "Darcy ?" "Please." "I was there." "The girl didn't open her mouth." "Look, I'm a big enough man to admit when I screw up." "I looked at the marketplace and I panicked." "Nick, forgive me." "I want you to step in here." "No, no, no, no." "Dan, you did the right thing when you hired her." "I mean, she is the best creative director I have ever seen, bar none." " This isn't about" " She's adorable." " Oh, yeah, she is." " But this isn't about that ?" " No, no." "Not like that." "No, no." "Please." "Look." "I've been doing a lot of listening lately." "And I've decided..." "I need to take a leave of absence." "I need to get away from here and get some perspective on things." "What are you, nuts ?" "What is this ?" "What do you mean ?" "This is the biggest account this company has ever landed." "Do you want me to have nobody running the shop ?" "What are you talking about ?" "Darcy's here." "For somebody who listens a lot, you don't hear so well." "I had a meeting with her today." "I sat her down." " We had a talk." " Oh, Dan !" "You didn't." " Tell me you didn't fire her." " She didn't even put up a fight." " Oh, Dan, no !" " Hey, she's gone, pal." "No, no." "It's not too late." "Look, call her." "Tell her you need her back, you made a mistake." "Hire her back." " Hey, calm down." "I can't do that." " Why ?" "Because I talked to the board and I told them I don't need her anymore." " Oh !" " They offered her a settlement." "Besides, Nike says they want you." "You're what they bought." " [ Groans ]" " I got a delivery" " Can I" "Would you come out for one second ?" "Let me tell you something." "My job is to deliver you." "Dan, Nike bought an idea." "It wasn't even mine." "Every good idea that they loved yesterday came from her." "And if you don't get Darcy McGuire back in here, and I mean pronto, the board is gonna be paying you your settlement." "This is all about saving your ass, right ?" "Save it." "Annie, get a hold of Darcy's address and number as quick as possible." " Yeah, sure." " Where's the girl in glasses ?" "Erin ?" "I don't think she's in today." " Did she call in sick ?" " I don't think so." "Didn't show up." "Oh, where does she live ?" "Does anyone know where Erin lives ?" "[Man] Who's Erin ?"

"I was thinking, "Why is Mr. Marshall here in my bedroom ?"" "You were..." "thinking that just now ?" "Yeah, in my head." "I must have water in my ears or something." "But you're, you know, not thinking anything now, are you ?" "I'm thinking a million things." "Really ?" "Because, you know, usually I can, uh" "I can, uh" "You are thinking something right this minute ?" "Mr. Marshall, I am thinking that you are crazier than I am." "I think" "I think I lost" "It's gone." "I'm back." " I'm back." " Mr. Marshall ?" "Yeah ?" "I'm sorry." "Is there something I can maybe do for you ?" "No." "No, Erin, uh" "Actually, I came here to see if I could do something for you." " For me ?" " Yeah." "See, the truth is" "The truth" "Erin, the truth is," "I'm glad I got here before you did anything to hurt yourself." "What makes you think that I would, uh, do something to hurt myself?"

"Basically, I promised him that I was gonna" "I can't believe I'm gonna say this to you. [Sniffles]" "I promised him that I was gonna... sleep with him after the prom."

"Then he goes, "Well, the limo, the room and the tux, it all cost me 400 bucks. "" "And I said, "I'm sorry." "I'm just not--"" "And he cuts me off and he says," ""I never should've asked a sophomore to the prom." "What a waste."" "Then two seconds later, he goes and meets up with his old girlfriend... and starts making out with her." "I mean, this disgusting slut with a tongue ring." "And then they were laughing and" "I just can't go out there ever." " Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you." " Dad !" " What are you doing ?" " I'm sorry." "I'm-I'm sorry." "But I am." "And believe it or not," "I know what it's like to be a woman." "I mean, it's not as easy as it looks." "You stood up for yourself." "You know how ahead of the game you are ?"

"She's not in the refrigerator." "I wonder if it's too late to go over there." "No, it's not too late." "It's never too late to do the right thing." "That's what I'll do."

"You need to what ?" "It's 1:00 in the morning." "I need to talk to you." "Okay." "Thanks." "So, you sleep here now ?" "I thought I might as well give it a try before I have to sell the place." "Sell it?" "You're not selling the place." "Can't afford to keep it." "I don't have a job." "You know, you ought to try returning some of your phone calls." " You got your job back." " Oh, do I ?" " You're a riot." "You know that ?" " lt's true." "Dan told me so himself." "Why would he tell you that ?" "I didn't do the job he hired me to do." "Even I don't blame him for firing me." "Look, I'm, uh-- You can come on in." "I don't have any chairs, but if you wanna" "What if I told you that... you did everything that you were hired to do-- everything-- but that someone was sabotaging you ?" "Picking your brain, swiping your ideas and" "Well, you-- you never even knew what hit you." " How is that possible ?" " Oh, trust me, it's possible." "Well, who would do such an awful thing ?" "I would." "I was a dope with a corner office." "And when you came with the job I was supposed to have," "I mean, it didn't matter to me that... you were better at it than me or you earned it more than I did." "As far as I was concerned, it was mine, and I was gonna get it back." "So I took advantage of you in the worst possible way." "Have you ever done that ?" "Taken the wrong road and-- No, of course you haven't." "You wouldn't do that." "That's just" "Somebody like me does that." "And, uh" "The problem with that was that while I was digging the hole under you..." "I found out all about you." "And the more I found out... the more you dazzled me." "I mean, shook my world, changed my life, dazzled me." "And guys like that ex-husband of yours, he made you feel that... the price you pay just for being you... is that you don't get to have love." "Isn't that what you were trying to say the other night ?" "That you weren't complete ?" "That you weren't really a winner ?" "Everything about you-- how smart you are, how good you are-- everything just makes me want you even more." "Oh, wow." "Boy." "So it looks like I'm here at 1:00 in the morning... being all heroic trying to rescue you, but the truth is..." "I'm the one that needs to be rescued here." "I sure wish I could read your mind." "Well, I was thinking that, um, if everything you're saying is true, if I really have my job back... then I think you're fired." "Well, I never" " I never really thought about it from that angle." "Well, not that I don't deserve it." "I-do-do" "I'm stuttering." "Now I feel kind of, uh, embarrassed that I told you I needed to be rescued." "But that's-that's fine." "That's it ?" "I don't want that to be it." "I don't want that to be it at all." "Then don't let a little thing like me firing you stand in your way." "I didn't know what to react to first." "Hey, news flash." "I took the wrong road." "What kind of knight in shining armor would I be... if the man I love needs rescuing... and I just let him walk out my door ?" "My hero."

"Like we always say- we're here to open your minds." "Mr Brock, just one more question." "I've been looking into your funding, and you seem to have a lot of benefactors for a research institute." "The world is changing, Miss Fletcher." "Science got sexy." "Yeah, but your benefactors- I can't seem to find any of them." "Very simple reason for that." "I killed them all, buried them in my back yard." "How big is your back yard, Mr Brock?" "At the last count, Wyoming." "Now, if you good people will excuse me, this young lady will guide you to the exit..." "Mr Brock?" "Er, Mr Brock?" "Mr Brock?" "Mr Brock." "Apparently we have one more question." "Yes." "Where's the little boys' room?" "I think you'll find the restrooms to the left, on your way out." "No, not the restrooms, the little boys' room." "If you successfully locate the restrooms," "I think you'll find everything you need in there." " Thank you all." " This way, ladies and gentlemen." "I don't want a rest." "If everyone's just having a rest, I might cause an incident." "Dr Sim, is there a problem?" "It's the brains." "There's something I need to show you." " It's necessary." " Later." "Meet me here... at midnight." "Thank you, sir." "Mr Brock." "You startled me." "Shall we?" "Of course." "All clear!" "Well?" "Look at them." "You see nothing unusual?" "I see brains... every place except here." "These specimens were donated to this facility by our benefactors, for a top-secret research project." "A project which is not to be questioned, impeded, or in fact mentioned by any of the employees of the Harmony Shoal Institute." "Even I don't have the clearance to know what's going on in here." "But why?" "It's not your job to ask questions!" "Stick to science." "Something wrong with your eyes?" "Sir, the first time I came in here, I counted 24 specimens." "The second time I counted, there were 30." "Now there are 36." "Well, I guess they've got the space." "You don't understand." "There have been no deliveries." "I checked it." "Some of these brains, sir, they just arrived." "It's OK." "I'm an intruder too." "Yeah, I brought snacks, mark of a pro." "Keep listening." "Looks like a brain to me." "Kind of blue, I guess, but that's the fluid, right?" "Yes." "That's the fluid." "Tap the glass, sir." " What did you say?" " Tap the glass." "Please." "What... the hell is that?" " Is that a joke?" " No, sir, it's not a joke." "It's got eyes!" "Look at them, they're like..." "They're like YOUR eyes." "Yes, sir, they are." "Dr Sim?" " What are you pointing at?" " I'm pointing at Dr Sim." "Don't look so alarmed- we merely exchanged containers." "You might call this a... hijack." "What happened to you?" "I don't understand." "The same thing that is about to happen to you." "I had a change of mind." "No!" "No, please, no!" "Let me out of here!" "What's happening?" "What are you doing?" "Who are you?" "Lucy Fletcher, reporter, from the Daily Chronicle." "Hang on, why am I telling you the truth?" "Spooky, isn't it?" " Looking for a story?" " I think I just found one." "Brains with minds of their own?" "No-one will believe that, this is America." "Who are YOU?" "Special Agent Dan Dangerous from Scotland Yard, Scotland." "The Doctor for short." "See, they've got institutes all over the world." "And always in capital cities." "Nope." "Yes, yes, they are, see?" "New York's not a capital city, is it?" "You don't need to point out the mistakes." " That's not what you're for." " Washington's got its own one." "I would call Security, but they might leave you alive." "I do not want any awkward questions about intruders I was forced to shoot for my own protection." "Good plan." "Here's another one!" "Go on." "Tell them you shot us in the back in self-defence." "We'll be laughing all the way to the slab." " Face me." " Maybe not." "Face me now." "What is that?" " It's not me." " It sounds like..." " Like someone knocking at a window." " We're on the 100th floor." "Oh, my God, he's real." " Who's real?" " The Ghost." " Who's the Ghost?" " Masked vigilante." "But he's..." " What?" " Super." " Mind if I come in?" " Impressive." "Those windows, like everything in this building, are built to withstand a blast equivalent to four nuclear explosions." "Sorry about that." "Would you like me to call a glazier?" "Hmm." "Please understand, it's against my personal code to cause lasting harm to any individual." "However, light to moderate injury is fine." "That's good!" "Hello." "Was that man annoying you?" "You're real." "I can't believe it, you're actually real." "I'm afraid I am." "I enjoy your column, Miss Fletcher." "You read my column?" "You read?" "You're real and you read?" "Though I find the political bias in your paper's editorial not entirely to my taste." " I'll pass that on." " Thank you." " Who are these gentlemen?" " They're, um..." "I don't actually know." " This is my friend, Nardole." " Hello, the Ghost!" "And I'm the Doctor." "The Doctor." "I thought we had lots of doctors." "I'm the main one." "Can I give you a ride home?" " You have a car?" " No." " I hope you're OK with heights." " I'm OK so far!" "Have a good evening, gentlemen." "He... seems nice!" "Grant..." "So I'm a superhero now?" "Once the gemstone is gone from inside you, you'll be back to normal." " It will pass." " But how will it get out?" "Like I said, it will pass." "Looking forward to that." " Are you sure?" " Of course I'm not sure." "Nothing's ever sure." "Just promise me one thing- for as long as you have these powers, you will never, ever use them." "Sure." "Is this the right building?" "They all look the same from up there." "Yeah, yeah, this is me, thanks." "Well, I certainly hope this unpleasant experience hasn't" " put you off a career in journalism." " Oh, no, no, no." "Not at all." "Sorry." "Duty calls." "Look at that." "The Bat-Signal's an app now?" "What is it?" "Bank robbery?" "Hijack?" "Uh... something like that." "Excuse me!" "Go get 'em!" "With great power comes great responsibility." "No man worthy of the title leaves a baby alone." " How did you find me?" " I tracked the gemstone inside you." "Your powers, they don't belong in this world." "They're an anomaly." "You promised me you'd never use them." " May I take her?" " She's yours?" "I'm hers." "I'm her nanny." "You're her nanny?" "Yeah, her nanny." "You got a problem with that?" "No, no, it's just..." "OK, so you are a superhero and a nanny." "You've got to make a buck somehow." "You don't get paid for saving people." "You don't have to tell us." "Here you go, nice and warm." "And tasty!" "Ooh, elephant!" "It's fine." "It's a long-range baby-monitor." "I can get back to this apartment quicker than most people can get to their kids' bedrooms." "Grant, Grant, this is insane." "Look, I'm me, the Doctor, and even I think this is insane." " Even him!" " I can cope." "Of course you can't." "When do you sleep?" "When are you not on call?" "How complicated do you need your life to be?" "Well, not as complicated as it's about to get." "We're in here, Mrs Lombard." "Oh, Jennifer, look at you, up again!" "Don't you ever sleep?" "Did you have a good evening, Mrs Lombard?" "Oh, it was work." "Why would it be good?" "Well, I don't know, you seem a little buzzed." " I thought maybe you'd met someone." " Maybe I did, maybe I didn't." "Grant..." "What are you doing here?" "We could ask you the same question." "But it's your apartment, so we probably won't." "Well..." "We... we were worried about you." "We wanted to make sure that you were all right, so we followed you." "You followed me and got here first?" "Well, that's just a measure of our concern." " Very concerned." " They said they knew you." "I let them in." "We met tonight." "We need to talk, you and me." "Oh!" "Did something happen?" "Nothing for you to worry your pretty little head about." " I'll put her to bed." " I can do that." "No, it's OK, I want to." "Lombard's her married name." "He ran off when the baby came along." "Lucy." "Of course." " Hey." " What are you doing here?" "I'm your relief algebra teacher." "Thought I'd check in on you, see how you're coping." "Well, it hasn't passed, if that's what you want to know." "I think that it's a part of your DNA now." "It's bonded with you." "I'm sorry." " Why aren't you looking at me?" " I don't want to." "You're not looking at anyone." "Are you shy now?" "Is that floor really interesting?" " I'm not shy." "I just can't stop it." " Can't stop what?" "The X-ray vision." "Oh!" "I'm in hell." "Naked hell." "I just can't look at people!" "It's the gemstone." "It's responding to... puberty." " Hey, Grant!" " Hey, Lucy!" "You really like her, don't you?" "I have X-ray eyes, I like everyone!" " But Lucy is your favourite." " Who says?" "A couple of years after high school, I ran into her again." " She even remembered me." " Oh, that was lucky." "And I was with my best friend at the time, and she couldn't take her eyes off him." "OK." " Love at first sight." " Right." "Then marriage, then a baby... and then he ran off with someone else." "Leaving, I suppose, the field open for you to move in..." "Yeah." "...and care for the child she'd had by another man." "Yeah." "So she could keep working and possibly date other friends of yours." " Pretty much." " You tiger!" " Thank you." " Who are you thanking?" "The universe." "There's somebody worse at this than me." "Excuse me." "This is Mr Huffle." "Mr Huffle feels pain." "Meet me in the kitchen." "With you in a minute." "So... you're from Scotland Yard." "Yes." "It's fine if you don't tell me your secrets." "I intend to keep mine." " But don't lie to me." " Or what?" "I hurt Mr Huffle." "I assume you belong to some kind of, I don't know, agency" "I don't care which one- and that your current assignment is to investigate Harmony Shoal." " Correct?" " No, I was just passing through..." "OK, OK." "Yes, fine, OK." "Yes, broadly speaking, yes." "What are those brain things?" "I don't know." "It's nothing that need concern you." "I'm a reporter." "That category does not exist." "What are they?" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "No reason not to tell me, then." "Those brains, they aren't just brains." "They're independent alien life forms." "And...?" "They migrate from planet to planet, extracting and replacing the central nervous systems of compatible hosts." "And...?" "Harmony Shoal is a multinational corporation whose true purpose is to extract and replace the brains of key authority figures around the world, and prepare Earth for full colonisation." "Ha!" "You believe me?" "I don't think you're lying- slightly different." "What has Harmony Shoal got to do with the Ghost?" "Nothing." "Ah, so you know who the Ghost really is, then?" "No, I have no..." "Oh, stop it." "We just went to a top-secret science research facility, apparently run by brains from space, and a flying man with superpowers turns up." "Anybody would assume the two were connected, except for someone who already knew they weren't." "So, clearly, you know the Ghost, and trust him." "Nobody trusts anybody without knowing who they are, so you know who he really is." "So now you can tell me." "Who is he?" "Oh, that's interesting." " You don't work for an agency, do you?" " Don't I?" "You're not used to being spoken to like this, which means you don't have a boss or an employer." "So why are you investigating Harmony Shoal?" "What's in it for you?" "I like to keep busy." " Why?" "What happened to you?" " Nothing!" "Oh, look!" "Oh!" "...Because fire prevention is the responsibility of every citizen- so get a smoke detector!" "Sorry, duty calls." "Oh, look at him go." "I need to know who he is." "You're all right." "She just needs a change." "Oh, it's OK, I'll do it." "You're so quick, Grant." "Oh, yes." "He's definitely quick." " Do you have any time off?" " Sure!" "As the storm hit, it became clear that two children were still trapped on the big wheel." "The two small..." "Doctor?" "So, can you put me in touch with him?" "The real guy behind the mask?" "You're smart." "You're so clever I actually noticed." "I hardly ever listen when other people are talking." "So what?" " So why can't you find himself yourself?" " I got a lead." "What lead?" "You." "You know him." "Don't even try telling me you don't." "Maybe you know him too." "Hey, where did Grant go?" "Right here, Mrs Lombard." " Oh." " Would you like your coffee?" "Oh, no, I'm OK, thanks." " Are you all right?" " Sure, why?" "You're kind of wet." "I prefer mild-mannered." "Can you put me in touch with him?" " The Ghost?" " Yeah, the Ghost." "Mrs Lombard, there are some situations which are just too stupid to be allowed to continue." "Hang on." " Hello." " Is this Lucy Fletcher?" "Yes, who is this?" "Sorry, I had to fly." "Am I..." "Sorry, am I..." "Am I speaking to the Ghost?" "Hello, Lucy." "So, I'm hoping this means I'm getting an interview." "An interview is entirely possible, but I must make one thing clear." "There must be no talk of who I really am." "Hey, you make the headlines, you make the rules." "Discussion of my true identity would put the people closest to me at risk." " That is not acceptable." " Fair enough, get that." "How about tomorrow night?" "For what?" "The interview?" " We could get dinner." " Dinner?" "Do you eat dinner?" " Of course I eat dinner." " OK, then." "Pick me up here tomorrow night, um, eight o'clock?" "I'll wait for you on the roof?" "Wait a second." "Grant, could you babysit for me tomorrow night?" "Um..." "Please, it's important." " I've got a date." " I've got a date." " A date?" " A date?" "Uh, kind of a date." " OK." " An interview." " Are you... seeing someone?" " Um..." "None of my business." "I mean..." "But are you?" "I mean, you never even go out, and suddenly you've got a date?" "Yeah, well, it kind of came as a surprise to me too." " I'm sorry?" " It's complicated." "I can confirm that it's definitely complicated." "You know, don't worry about it, I'll look after Jennifer." " You will?" " You will?" "I'll figure it out." "Let me take care of it." " OK." " OK." " She's jealous." " I'm jealous!" " Grant, you were jealous of you." " Technically, she's jealous of her." " Grant, how long have you known this woman?" " Since elementary school." "24 years." "24 years?" "Yeah, of course it would be that." "Are you OK?" "Time passes for everyone." "Even for me." "So, please, as much as it is possible for a human male, try not to be an idiot." "No, seriously, are you OK?" "I'm always OK." "Ah, welcome, brother." "How is your vehicle?" "A little cramped." "It will relax with wear." "Observe this." "The finest vehicle this planet has to offer." " Interesting." "And can it be acquired?" " A plan is being formulated." "This one." "Who is he?" "I'm not sure." "But he may be dangerous." "He doesn't look dangerous." "Boo!" "I'm talking to you live!" "In person!" "You can jump back in your skins now, except, of course, they're not your skins, are they?" " What do you want?" " Mercy." " We have none." " It's not a request, it's an offer." "I'll give you a head start." "I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten." "I will make no attempt to follow you but, starting now, all of you, everywhere," " pack your bags and get off of this planet." " Are you declaring war on us?" "I am drawing a line, and I'm suggesting you step back from it with awesome speed." "Then war it is." "Multi-nucleate organism, functioning as an infinitely adaptable, independently functioning, peripatetic central nervous system." "Good to keep an open mind." "Ha!" " Of course it won't work." " What won't work?" "Whatever it is, whatever you've got planned." "Stating the obvious, you've set up in every capital city in the world, so clearly the "plan"" "is to unzip the head of every world leader, pop yourselves inside." "Of course, you can't just roll up with a team of surgeons to the White House or to the Kremlin, because they've got big fences, shouty people and cross dogs." "They will come to us and they will come running." "Oh." "I very much doubt it." "Take this!" "Yes, take that!" "Who are you?" "There have been many attempts to conquer the Earth." "I've lost count." "Not one of them has succeeded, not a single one." "They all lost and burned and ran." "That's who I am." "What is this?" "It's a burger." "I always bring a snack." "But I don't want it now, he's put me off my dinner." "Very good." "Right on target." "Trial and error, to be honest." "A few accidental stop-offs along the way." " Where did you get the robes?" " 12th-century Constantinople." "I ruled firmly, but wisely." "Ah-ah-ah!" " How did it go?" " Oh, you know." "Issued a warning, donated a burger, nicked some stationery." "The Ghost-what have you got?" "The whole story!" "Fact me, baby, it's why I reassembled you." " No, sir, that's not the reason, is it?" " Oh, just get on with it!" "You cut me out of Hydroflax, because you were worried you'd be lonely, and we both know why, don't we?" "But, oh, look at you, avoiding the subject!" "I'm not avoiding anything, I'm just trying to save a planet." "Which is what you always do when the conversation turns serious." "Good girl." "Mrs Lombard?" " You look... nice." " You look surprised." "No, no, no, it's just that, well, normally you wear the little red dress when you're, uh..." "This is business, Grant." "Strictly business." "So..." "I won't be late." "Hi." "Hi." "Is something wrong?" "You look nice." " You look surprised." " I am." "A little." "He's not supposed to be using those powers." "He made a promise." "What, like the Time Lord promise never to interfere in the affairs of other peoples or planets?" "I glued your head back on." "You should have a little bit more respect." "Oh!" "Come on." " Where are we?" " Where we were," " except not." " Oh." "Right..." " Oh, Tokyo branch." " Yep." " A bit empty, isn't it?" " Yes, I created a distraction." "I flooded downstairs with Pokemon." "You're not supposed to be in here." "I know, it's terrible." "Sorry, I'm doing everything I can to stop me." " See that?" " It's a signal, isn't it?" "It's a signal beaming into space." "There was one from the New York office too." "There's something in low orbit." " I did book a restaurant." " I'm not comfortable in restaurants." "I suppose you get a lot of stares, dressed like that." "Right back at you." " Are you sure you're warm enough?" " Yeah." "OK, no." " Now?" " Yeah, definitely." " Yep, low orbit." " But you can't get a fix on it?" "I'm trying, the shielding's too good." "Can't we track the signals?" "Tracking them now." " Boom." " Ha-ha!" "So what powers do you have?" "Well, basic flying," " basic super strength..." " Basic X-ray vision?" "Yep." "Is that ever tempting?" "Adolescence was difficult." " In what sense?" " It went on a lot longer." "How much longer?" "I'll let you know." "We're moving into position." " It won't be long now." " The Ghost is located." "Action the surgeons." "That's what Harmony Shoal is signalling to." "Shall we pop over and have a look?" " Pretty sure no-one's on board." " How do you know?" " Did you scan for life forms?" " No." "All the lights are off." "Mmm!" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Boyfriend?" "Well, there has been speculation." "You do fly around New York dressed in rubber with a big "G" on your chest." "Are we very slightly stereotyping here?" "I get it, there's some stuff you'd like to keep private." "Was it the mask that tipped you off?" "How do you cope with your double life?" "I'm nothing special- everyone has a day job." "Come on, you spend half your time as a regular person..." " I spend all my time that way." " ...and the other half saving the world." "How do you cope?" "How do YOU cope with a career and a baby?" "How do you know I have a baby?" "I did my research." "Um..." "I have a nanny, that's basically your answer." "Yes, of course." "He's downstairs right now." " I see." " And, yes, I said "he"." " Yes, you did." " Yes, I did." "Is that a problem?" "I'm sorry, it's just that guys like you sometimes find it funny, a man being a nanny." "With respect, Miss Fletcher, there aren't too many guys like me." "There aren't too many guys like Grant either!" "You OK?" "Excuse me a minute." "Bridge is this way." "Move." "I didn't mean to imply there's something wrong with your friend Grant." "Not everyone can be a superhero." "Not everyone can be a nanny!" "Sorry." "He's downstairs right now and he was supposed to be on a date and he cancelled it and you know what's really bugging me about that?" "Who is he dating?" "Why is that bugging me?" "Why do I care?" "What's wrong with me?" "There's probably something I... ought to tell you." "Grant." "The perfect name." "A man I take for granted." "Um, really, if you could just look up about now..." "Always there, always kind, never lies." "I even lied to him about this dress but I don't think he's ever told a single lie to me, not once, about anything." " Not once." " That's very commendable." "Good evening." "Please, take no aggressive action, or your friend's life is over." "Mr Brock?" " What do you want here?" " The same thing you do, Miss Fletcher." "His body." "Hmm." "Bit rubbish, innit?" " Don't touch anything." " No, it's quite safe, it's just a freighter." " I said, don't touch." " Wh..." "It's here, the reactor core." "It's cycling at critical." "Someone's been rewiring." "This isn't a ship any more." " It's a giant bomb." " Ooh!" "Just going to move out..." "Doctor!" "They're security drones, that's all." "So what do they want a bomb for?" "What does anybody want a bomb for?" "Surely they want to conquer the Earth, not blow it up." "You couldn't blow up the Earth with this..." "But you could wipe out a city." " Good point, well made!" " What point?" "New York, it's not a capital city," " you're quite right." " Oh..." "I don't understand." "What if you dropped this ship on New York, what would happen?" "The reactor core would split and New York would vaporise." "Not all of it." "Not all of it, Nardole." "Remember what he said, the scary little German fella?" "This building can withstand a blast up to four times the strength of a nuclear explosion." "Oh, this is very good, very meta." "Did you understand?" "You're stage-managing an alien attack when the aliens have already landed." " But why?" " Because of what happens next." "When everyone thinks that the Earth is being attacked from space," " what then?" " Mass panic." " Ooh, speaking of panic!" " Don't worry, it's triple-deadlock-sealed." "It'll hold for at least ten minutes." "The people will panic, yes." "But what about the world leaders?" "The presidents and kings, the prime ministers and generals?" "What will they do?" "What do the rich old men always do when the fighting starts?" "They'll find the safest place to hide themselves away and send all their young people to die." "And where's the safest place in every capital city now?" "What's the only part of New York still standing?" "Harmony Shoal." "New York isn't a capital city." "It's a shop window." ""When the world is in danger, come hide with us."" "Harmony Shoal will open its doors" " to the terrified leaders of the world." " And they will come running." "A few hours later, every politician and commander-in-chief will have a zip in their head." "An alien sitting inside their skull." "In one day of terror, the executive authority of Planet Earth will pass to Harmony Shoal." "It's a good plan, I like it." "How come our side never gets plans like that?" "The humans have no plan at all." "That's where you're wrong." "They have the same plan they always have." " What plan?" " Me." "Hey-hey!" " Don't do that." " Sorry." "The operation is swift and quite painless." "You realise I'm talking to my colleague in the jar?" "You'll find me a lot harder to cut open than your previous victims." "Harmony Shoal have been conquering your world for five years." "Whatever our faults, we have the virtue of patience." "Ghost!" "Don't worry about me, do what you've got to do." " Do anything at all and we'll kill her." " Don't listen to him!" "Remove the mask." "I like to see their faces." "I'm truly sorry." "On the bright side, at least I get to kill you." "No, you can't!" "That's the trouble with one hostage." "You kill me, the only reason he'll come back is for revenge." " You really want to deal with that?" " One hostage?" "Isn't there a child downstairs?" "Nobody touches that child." "And who are you?" "I'm the nanny." "Stand away from the controls, Doctor." "Any attempt to interfere with them" " will precipitate the attack immediately." " Yes, I see that!" " Very clever." " One question, as long as I'm here why haven't you done it already?" " When the time is right," " there will be no delay." " Oh, you told me something there!" "You told me something useful, you shouldn't have done that." " What did I tell you?" " You told me that the time is currently wrong." "Oh, it's the smile." " I don't like the smile!" " The Sword of Damocles hanging over New York!" "I can't destroy it, I can't remove it, I can't stop it falling." "There's only one thing I can do." " What?" " The unexpected!" "The thing about being in a room full of buttons and switches is..." "I love buttons and switches!" " Don't!" " What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Thrusters engaged." "Next stop, New York!" " Say, "Wheeee!"" " Oh-h-h-h!" "Lower shields!" "Brace for impact!" "New York is under attack." "It occurs to me, Miss Fletcher, I now have three hostages." " Why don't you point the gun at me?" " What difference would it make?" "Besides, this is the one the Ghost will come for, I think." "Ghost!" "Can you hear me?" "Do you have super hearing?" "I'm going to kill her." "I'm going to kill her right now!" "Stop!" "You're going to destroy New York!" "Of course not!" "Now the bomb is arming, the shields are down..." " Help!" " ...we can use the TARDIS to hijack the controls and divert it into space!" "No bomb, no plan, no problem!" "No, wait!" "Those things are out there!" "The ship is crashing!" "They're not going to be worrying about us!" "Ooh!" "Oh!" " OK, plan B..." " Doctor!" " Help me!" " Oh, you'll be fine!" "The ship will have blown up long before you've been strangled to death!" " And what's plan B?" "!" " I have no idea, but it's going to be a very big relief when I think of it." "You are completely out of your mind!" "How is that news to anyone?" "I know you miss her, but couldn't you just write a poem?" "Excellent!" "The controls are locked, but they've still got a little bit of give." "It means I can take aim." "At what?" "!" "New York." "There's exactly one chance, and one is all you need." "No!" "No-o-o..." "No." "No, it's too soon." "Grant!" "Grant!" "This is the Doctor!" "You are the only living thing on Earth that can hear this frequency." "Look up!" "We're coming right at you." "If that thing hits the ground, then New York is finished!" "Over to you." "Mrs Lombard, please get down." " Nardole!" " Yeah?" "Brace for impact!" "Nardole." " Nardole!" " OK, one more, but text me a rickshaw..." "Nardole, it worked!" "The reactor core didn't split!" " Why not?" " Shock absorber." "Mrs Lombard, I realise in many ways it would have been better to have mentioned something about this earlier in the evening, but, please, don't slap me." "I think I'm holding a giant bomb." "There, on you go, take a look at him." " That's why YOU don't stand a chance." " You want to know why?" "He's actually left-handed." "Sorry, instinct, I couldn't let go of this." "Oh, oh, ho!" "Ho!" "If you two are about to get excited, maybe you could get rid of that spaceship first." "You know what?" "I think I prefer you in your superhero costume." "It's a bit difficult for me to change right now." "I'll do it for you." "Grant!" "Grant!" "Remember, when you're... finished, throw that thing into the sun." "Jennifer's still downstairs!" "So, Doctor..." " ...you think this is over?" " Yeah." "Your bomb's gone, your plan's finished." "And look, there's UNIT, on the way to close your head office." "It's almost like they've been tipped off." "The vengeance of Harmony Shoal is known and feared" " throughout the five star systems!" " Ooh!" "Is it?" "Is it really?" "Well, I'd like to stick around and listen, but it's been a very long night." "Also, someone needs changing." "You're not the only one that's full of it." "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" " Down here now!" " Get off of me!" " And he was like this when you found him?" " Yes, sir." "Wait here." "I'm putting a call into Osgood." " So, no more Ghost, then?" " Nah, laid to rest." " Are you sure?" " Yeah, of course I'm sure." "I mean, life's not a comic book, right, Doctor?" "Possibly I'm not the right person to ask." "What if something happens?" "What if the whole world is in danger?" "Well, you know, maybe I'll keep the outfit, then." " You know, just in case." " Hmm." "The world will be fine." "I've been away for a while, but I'm back." "I'll take care of anything that comes up." " You were away?" " Huh!" "24 years." "What a night." "Where did you go?" "Wrong question." "What was her name?" "I'm sure that I must be busy, I better go." " You OK?" " Yes, yes, yes, I'm OK." "Things end." "That's all." "Everything ends." "And it's always sad." "But everything begins again too, and that's always happy." "Be happy." "I'll look after everything else." " Nardole." " Hey, Doctor?" "Keep it real." "Her name was River Song." "They were together for a while and they were very happy." "And then she died, a long time ago," " in a library." " Are you sure he's going to be all right?" "Hm!" "He's the Doctor." "He's very brave and he's very silly and I think, for a time, he's going to be very sad." "But I promise, in the end, he'll be all right." "I'll make sure of it." "Bye!" "You never explained." "Who exactly is he?" "Doctor who?" "Doctor Mysterio." "I'm Bill." "I serve chips." "He's a professor." "Or a lecturer." "Or as I call him..." "Doctor what?" "And now we go everywhere." "It's like a..." " Spaceship." " ...kitchen!" "Any space..." "Where are we?" "Which way's Earth?" "What's a Dalek?" "Can I use the toilet?" "...any time..." " Get in!" " Whoa!" "...and now I see everything... differently." "Exterminate!" " Where are we?" " Basically in the middle of a war." "Oh!" "And it's not as bad as it sounds!" "I'm the Doctor." "I will save all your lives and when I do, you will spend the rest of them wondering who I was." "Are you out of your mind?" "Yes, completely, but that's not a recent thing."

"Previously on Masters Of Sex..." "The thought of not seeing you every day is not something I'm ready to accept just now." "And your wife?" "My wife and I have an understanding." "So, what if I keep coming here... because we love each other?" "What are you doing here, Libby?" "I am so sick of pretending all the time." "I want you to be my wife." "Dennis went to my dad... and my dad had to show Dennis a book on how to fix his broken penis." "It's incredibly common and perfectly normal." " Ow!" " John!" "In two weeks, Bill and I are going into Little Brown to present the initial research for our second book." "If he finds out about us, he might even keep me out of the work, which he's done before." "All these women either want to marry me or they look at me like I'm some sort of torturer." "This is what I've been saying all along." "This program doesn't work!" "Look, if... if you're not comfortable with the surrogacy work, then... we can't continue." "I just want it to be us again... together." "That's what I want, too." "I think the doc is a little worried about Mr. Logan's presence." "So, Bill sent you to... pump me for information?" "Maybe I can spare you a lot of grief by sharing with you a tidbit I have picked up..." "Trying to control other people doesn't work, ever." "The only person you can control is yourself." "I certainly hope that you didn't tip him." "Of course I tipped him." "Who gets into a taxi and says, "We're from out of town." "Take whatever route you'd like"?" "The man drove us through Brooklyn, Bill." "Ah, so what if he did?" "It was worth the extra $2 to get a view of that skyline, don't you think?" "No, I don't." "Betty said that The Times gave this place four stars." "Apparently, it's nearly impossible to get a reservation." "Well, I would've been just as happy to order a BLT from room service and call it a night." "Nonsense." "Today went just about as well as it could possibly have gone." "I say you and I have more than earned ourselves a five-course dinner." "Well, that is very generous of you to say." "Because given how you monopolized that meeting, the most I've earned, I would think, would be a dinner roll and a butter pat." "Virginia, can't you let it go, please?" "It all worked out." "Let's enjoy the evening." " May I take your coats?" " Yes, thank you." "I'll keep mine, thank you very much." "Are you sure?" "I think you'll be more comfortable..." "Is this yet another thing you would like to overrule me on?" "The lady will be keeping her coat." "In case I throw a drink in his face and need to make a speedy exit, which is entirely possible." "Why don't I give our name to the... to the host?" "What is the fastest you've ever seen someone get through a meal here?" "Masters, you say?" "I'm not seeing anything in the book, sir." "Are you sure your reservation was for tonight?" "Quite sure." "Can I take a..." "Is there a problem?" "There it is." "That's us." "Mosher, party of four?" "Well, Mosher, Masters... if it was a bad connection, someone could've easily misu..." "Mosher." "Mas..." "See?" "Bill, that is entirely possible if you were calling from a submarine." "And "two" doesn't sound anything like "four. "" " We are a party of two." " I'm confused, sir." "Didn't you say that yours was a party of four?" "I did." "No, we're four, Virginia... you, me, and the Logans." "Her name's Alice, isn't it?" "Uh, Dan's wife?" "What are you doing in the lab at this hour of night?" "And what's all that noise going on?" "Not while the children are awake." "Oh, come on." "All right, kitty cats, it's time for bed." "10 more minutes." "You said that 20 minutes ago." "Yeah, but it's almost over." "Come on, Lib." "Just let them watch the end." "It's fine." "You know, for a football coach, you are a bit of a pushover." " Oh, really?" " Mm-hmm." "Okay." "Come on, guys." "You heard your mother." "It's bedtime." "Hup, hup." "Let's go." "Set goes off." "Ice-cream bowls in the kitchen." "Johnny, I want to see some hustle." "Jenn, put some pep in your step." "Come on." "Mr. Edley's kidding." "But 10 more minutes, and that is it." "No more negotiating." " Okay." " Okay." "However you want me to be, I'll be." "She's joining..." "they're joining us?" "Why do you look so surprised?" " We discussed this." " We did not." " Are you certain?" " Quite certain." "Absolutely cer..." "I've never been more certain of anything in my life." "Well, maybe..." "Ah, you know what?" "I..." "I mentioned it to Betty." "That's right." "I did." "I must've forgotten." "I'm sorry, Dr. Masters." "Is it possible you thought you made a reservation in the same way you thought you told your wife about your dining companions?" "I am not his wife." "Mosher, party of four." "Good evening, Mr. Mosher." "Right this way, sir." "Deirdre will take you to your table." "What is going on here, Bill?" " What do you mean?" " What are you up to?" "Why would you ask Dan and his wife to join us?" "You've barely even said two words to him since he set foot in our office." "You've rejected any social overtures he's made to you." "You've barely even tolerated the research that he asked us to conduct." "Which was unfair of me." "It was?" "Absolutely." "Virginia, I was threatened by him." "I see that now." "What are you doing?" "Looking for that bald man on TV who pops out with his hidden camera." "I thought he was taking up too much of our time." ""Our time?"" "All right, your time." "I didn't like having to indulge his curiosity, which was shortsighted of me." "So what if his projects didn't amount to anything?" "The man opened his checkbook to us." "Now we have a book contract to show for it." "So I thought it was the right thing to do to show him a... you know, a little appreciation for the support he's given us." "Well, that's..." "Huh." "Well, it's not awkward for you that I invited his wife along, is it?" "Why would that be awkward?" "I'm asking you." "And I'm answering..." "rhetorically." "No, it's not awkward, Bill, unless you've imagined us having to eat standing up in the coatroom." "While you figure this out," "I'm going to go freshen up." "Shall I have Colette check this for you?" "You are not to check that coat, Bill." "The lady will hang on to it." "You're still here?" "Hey, Johnny." "Uh, yeah, I noticed the light was out, so I thought I'd fix it before I went home to my house." "Where's my mom?" "Your mom is in reading to Jenny." "Um..." "Could you... could you maybe help me with something" " in my room?" " Of course." " Absolutely." " Bring the ladder." "Bring the ladder?" "Okay." "All right." "Let's go." " Good evening, ma'am." " Good evening." "May I offer you something, ma'am?" "No, thank you." "Are you sure?" "We have some lovely new scents as well as the classics." "Channel." "I think that's Chanel." "Oh, is it?" "I don't speak French." "This one's new, Promesse, and we have Ambush by Dana." "That would certainly be appropriate to the occasion." " Excuse me?" " Yes?" "Uh, there..." "there's no paper in here." " Would you mind..." " Oh!" "Oh, gosh!" "I'm so sorry, ma'am." "Right away." "Uh, um, there you go." "I should've checked the stall beforehand." " It's all right." " Oh, gosh." "See?" "I'm still learning." "They usually have me answering the phones, but Carol Anne, the girl who's usually here, she slipped in the kitchen two days ago and knocked out her two front teeth, got a black eye, and they won't let her back to work" "'cause it looks like her boyfriend beat her up." "You can't have that in a nice place like this, right?" "Ambush you said?" " What are you doing?" " Didn't you..." "No, I s..." "I said no thank you." "Oh, I'm so sorry, ma'am." "May I have a wet towel, please?" "Yes." "Oh." "Here." "Hey, you don't like it?" "It's not so bad." "It's the..." "The gentleman that I'm seeing, he... he has an aversion to me wearing fragrances of any kind." "An aversion?" "Allergies, you mean?" "No, no." "It's... he has, uh, a very sensitive nose." "Occupational hazard." "It's fine." "I'll live." "Thank you." "Did I get him?" "Uh, no, he's over there now." "See him?" " Where?" " Quick!" "Oh." " Got him." " Are you sure?" "Flat as a pancake." "You want to see?" "No, that's okay." "I trust you." "Come on." "I'm not afraid of them or anything." "Just don't like them." "I get it." "Is there anything else you're not too fond of?" "I don't really like thunder." "Oh, well, come on." "Does anyone like thunder, really?" "An" "Maybe timpanists, you know?" "In the orchestras, with the big drums?" "They probably like it." "You're probably right." "You know what I'm afraid of, Johnny?" "What?" "Letting people see that I'm afraid." "It's like, what are they gonna think?" "This big, tough football coach... every time he goes to the doctor, he's got to shut his eyes and whistle a tune when he gets a shot." " You do that?" " Yeah." "Every single time." "Here." "You play the doctor." "I'll play me." "All right?" " Okay." " All right." "Time for your shot, Mr. Edley." "Are you ready?" "I guess." "Now, look, you said you weren't gonna tell anybody, right?" " I promise." " All right." "And you won't tell mine?" "I won't tell a soul." "All right." "Get some sleep." " Good night, Mr. Edley." " Good night, Johnny." "Well, I'm sorry you didn't have my girl make the reservation." "I have some pull here." "I invested in Gordon's place in Midtown a few years back." "Excuse me, could you tell Chef Ostroff that Dan Logan is with the Masters party... that's the reservation that's gone missing... and ask if he can accommodate us?" "Apparently, they're booked until..." "And that we're very much looking forward to the tartare tonight." "It's not on the menu, but they make it when I ask." " Dan?" "Nice to see you." " Virginia." "You're alone?" "Uh, Alice is on her way from uptown." "I must say, Virginia, I wasn't expecting your invitation." "The invitation didn't come from me." "Oh, well, my secretary said a woman called, so I assumed." "That wasn't you?" "Then who..." "Bill, uh, did you have Betty make these arrangements?" "Why, yes, I did." "Why don't I have them check that?" "Okay." "Thank you." " I am so sorry." " Mm-hmm." "I had absolutely no idea." "Bill orchestrated this entire thing without telling me." "Why would you bring your wife?" "Because when the invitation came in, presumably from you, my secretary called Alice to confirm the time without consulting me." " And there you are." " Hello, darling." "Mm." "You made it." "I would like to introduce you to..." "Virginia Johnson." "Hello." "Finally." "I'm so glad you called." "Danny just thinks the world of you." "Talks about you nonstop." "Is that right?" "And, my goodness, you're just a slip of a thing." "I..." "I don't know why I always imagined you'd be much bigger boned." "Mrs. Logan, I presume." " Alice, please." " Bill Masters." "I'm just delighted that you and your husband could join us." "Now, there has been a little snafu with the reservation" " that we're working out." " Mr. Logan," "I am so sorry to keep you and your party waiting." "We have a table for you if you will follow Jacques." "Ladies?" "It's all who you know, Bill." "Whom." "It's whom." "Uh, this is a table for two." "We're a party of four." "Well, five, if you include the coat." "And may I ask, where do you sit your patrons who don't have pull..." "the scullery?" "I'm terribly sorry." "This is the only table we have available at the moment." "Perhaps we should wait for something else to open up." "I'm afraid we are fully booked, sir." "Or come back another time." "Oh, don't be silly." "We can all squeeze in." "Can't we, Alice?" "Absolutely." "It'll be cozy." "You're sure I can't check..." "I'm quite sure, thank you." "May I get you started with a cocktail?" "Ladies?" "A Manhattan, please." "Alice?" "So, she'll have a tonic water with a squeeze of..." "Uh, white wine, please." "But, honey..." "I'd like a glass of white wine, Dan." "Do you have an objection to that?" "Why don't we make it a spritzer?" "First, uh, can I suggest that we start with a bottle of your finest champagne?" "We're celebrating." "Ooh." "What are you doing?" "It was slow to drain, so..." "What?" "You can't fix everything in the house." "He's only gone two days." "He's gonna come back and notice." "Oh, really?" "Bill's gonna notice?" "Come on." "Well, you do have to be more careful in front of the kids." "You can't take my hand under the dining-room table or reach under my skirt." "Oh, they didn't see that." "But they could have." "You can't call me Lib in front of them, either." " Did I do that?" " Mm-hmm." "Oh." "You know, "pass the ketchup, Lib." "Those potatoes were delicious, Lib. "" "All right." "I have this fantasy, okay?" "Now, don't laugh at me, but I have this fantasy that, you know, the kids will start calling me Paul." "Not right away, but just eventually, you know?" "You know how Howie has that thing with "L's"?" "I secretly hope he never loses it." "I know." "Well, if you drop the "L" off of "Paul,"" "that becomes "paw," right?" "And then maybe the older kids start calling me pa, and then, pretty soon, that's what I am to them." "You know, their pa." "You wouldn't have a problem with that, would you?" "To "Human Sexual Inadequacy. "" ""Human Sexual Inadequacy. "" "Do we really want to toast that?" "It's the name of Bill and Virginia's next book." "Oh, I see." "Well, then, congratulations, you two." "How exciting." "After the success of the first one," "I'm sure this one was pretty much in the bag." "No hard sell required." "Yes, you'd think, wouldn't you, that all we needed to do was let the couples work that we've done speak for itself." "But Bill felt the need to up the ante." "Virginia, please, let's not." "Oh, let's." "Virginia's upset with me because I... deviated slightly from our agreed-upon script." "I wouldn't say "deviated," and I wouldn't say "slightly. "" "I'd say that you hijacked the meeting entirely." "Uh, Bill told them that we intend to include a chapter in the next book on our work with surrogates." "Mm." "I thought you were phasing that out." "Yes, well, Bill revived it this afternoon and committed us to continuing with the program." "Only after the Little Brown team seemed disinclined to move forward." "Not disinclined, and even if they were, that doesn't mean that you should jump in and offer up research that we both decided to postpone for the foreseeable future." "They never would've committed to so large an advance, Virginia." "The last time that we were short hard evidence that our research would yield solid results... the impotency work... you argued that it was wrong to promote it." "Do most people assume you're married?" "You seem married." "Don't they seem married?" "They're not married." "In fact, Bill has a very lovely wife." "Mm, you've met?" "No, but I've seen her picture on your desk." "You don't bring her along when you travel?" " I don't." " Oh, why's that?" "Surely she would like a trip to New York, wouldn't she?" "Yes, but we do have three children at home." "Oh." "Do you have pictures?" "I don't, no." "Really?" "No pictures?" "Not a one?" "Dan doesn't like to bring me on his adventures, either." " Oh, and why's that?" " I have a theory." "Oh, I would love to hear it." "Another breadbasket, please?" "Well, with so many more women in the workforce," "I think it's easier for a man, especially one as handsome as him, to conduct his business unencumbered by a wedding ring." "Wouldn't you agree, Virginia?" "I'm asking you as a woman." "I really wouldn't know." "It's not unlike your approach, Bill." "You tantalize the buyer with the promise of something that you may not actually be able to provide." "I'm not blind." "I know I married a flirt." "But it got me a three-bedroom apartment overlooking the Museum of Natural History." "Hey, might want to slow down a bit, dear." "Mm." "You might want to stop squeezing my leg under the table." "What was the name of the woman in Dallas?" "The linen heiress?" "Danny sold her on the idea of including lavender sachets in her seet shets." "Sheet... sets." "That's hard to say." "Especially after two glasses of champagne." "Well, may I propose another toast?" " Mm!" " I vote no." "Um, I'm sorry." "Was that rhetorical?" "I love your sense of humor, Virginia." "It's very New York." "Are you Jewish?" "To you, Dan." "To me?" "Well... well, we could never have gotten to this point without your financial support." "Hm." "Well, that's, uh..." "That's kind of you to say, Bill." "Well, it's absolutely true." " Isn't it, Virginia?" " It is." "Uh, you have kept us afloat." "And I am happy to report that the advance we received today will more than cover our operational costs from now on." "So we're not just able to repay you in full." "We're also able to provide you with a significant return on your investment." "Thank you." "To the end of our journey." "Hear, hear." "Come on, you two." "To happy endings." "So this is yet another thing you've just decided, Bill, that our work with Dan is over?" "Well, isn't it?" "I'm sorry." "Do you disagree, Dan?" "You made an investment." "It paid off..." "handsomely, I may add." "When I engaged your services, we entered into a partnership." "Oh." "Did you see it that way?" "A partnership?" "What?" "Like Virginia's and mine?" "No, actually, because I don't make decisions unilaterally without her participation." "Well, perhaps you can clarify for me." "Uh, what is the argument for, uh, perpetuating this arrangement?" "Your venture into, uh..." "lubricants?" "Lotions." "Lotions." "I'm sorry." "You're right." "There was a company in Seattle that Danny did a lotion line with." "He was working very closely for many months with the most darling Japanese chemist." "What was her name..." "Emiko?" "I'm so sorry that you don't consider our efforts worthwhile, but I have certainly granted you latitude to pursue the things you find interesting." "I thought the scent was lovely, but Dan didn't like me to wear it." "It's funny." "He objects to me wearing fragrance of any kind." "Isn't that silly, Virginia?" "For a man in his line of work to have..." "What's the word?" "An aversion?" "You know what occurs to me, Bill?" "Is that you planned this dinner before you knew how the meeting with your publisher was gonna go." "Well, it's like you said yourself... a positive outcome was virtually assured." "Our last book was a best-seller." "No, no." "But then it means you must've come prepared to offer up the surrogacy work over Virginia's objections." "Anything to get your publisher on board so there would be cause for celebration tonight and a reason to say to me, "Thank you." "Here's your hat." "Don't let the door hit you on the way out. "" "Dan, Alice," "I am so sorry to have to cut this short." "It was lovely to meet you." " You're leaving?" " I'm afraid so." "I knew there was a reason I held on to my coat." "You're sick?" "Yes." "Of him." "If you'll excuse me." " Virginia..." " Go to hell." "There's something I need to talk to you about." "It's about us and about the future." "It's okay." "It's a... it's a good start." "You don't think it..." "it feels too dire?" "I mean, maybe there's a more casual way to get into it so Bill's not immediately on his guard." "No, I don't..." "I don't..." "I don't think the downbeat is the problem, honey." "I think you just need to be more honest and be direct with him." "Just tell him what you want." "What do I want?" "Well..." "Do I... do I ask for a divorce right away, or do I want a separation first and then a divorce?" "What do I say when he asks me why?" "I mean, he is gonna ask me why." "Well, what if he does?" "What are you gonna tell him?" "I don't want him to know it's because of you." "I..." "I think that just makes it... harder." "Well, look, you had many reasons to leave him before me, right?" " I mean..." " Yeah." "Just not the courage." "Right." "I think he'll be shocked." "And then... maybe angry." "I don't think he'll yell." "I mean, he might, but..." "I think he would be too scared that I would say something about Virginia to ever accuse me of anything." "No, what I'm..." "What I am most afraid of is..." "What if he doesn't care?" "You know?" "What if, when I tell him," "I look in his eyes and all I see is relief?" "Can I help you?" " Elizabeth Masters?" " Yes." "I'm Detective David Ascher..." "St. Louis Police." " Has something happened?" " May I come in, please?" "What's going on?" "Dr. Masters?" "Um, no." "This is Mr. Edley." "Paul Edley." "I live next door." "What's...?" "And Dr. Masters?" "Is he home?" "No, he's out of town." "And your children?" "My children are asleep." "I need to ask your son a few questions, Mrs. Masters." "It won't take long." "Questions about what?" "You can't just knock on the door in the middle of the night demanding to talk to a 12-year-old child." "I'm sorry, Mr. Edley, but if you're not family," "I need to ask you to leave." "And, ma'am, I need you to wake up your son." "Virginia, I'm sorry." "Please, come back." "Get away from me." "Please, don't leave like this." "Dan was right." "You set me up." "You knew that this was going to happen before you left St. Louis." "I can explain." "Just let me get my coat, and we'll go together." "Give that to me." "You think I'm going to get into a cab with you?" "Well, fine, we'll go in separate cabs, but just at least let me put you into one." "Hello?" "I can manage myself." "Give me back my purse, Bill." "Just one second." "Hello?" "Can someone please..." "What were you thinking?" "What did you hope to accomplish today?" "Or was it enough to simply humiliate me?" "I can't find my coat." "Here." "Here!" "Virginia, I..." "I'm sorry." "I didn't want it to happen that way, but I needed you to see for yourself." "See what?" "That he has a wife?" "You think I didn't know that already?" "You're not his first affair, Virginia." "You're just his most recent." "Well, that is my problem to deal with, isn't it?" "That doesn't bother you?" "What I do and whom I do it with outside of the office is none of your business, Bill." "Well, you make it my business when you concoct some ludicrous research program to keep that man around our office." "Lotions." "Really?" "What choice did I have?" "The last time I was honest with you about having a lover, you cut me out of the work for a whole year." "So either way, whether I tell you or not," "I end up in the exact same place..." "on the outside." "Excuse me." "Number 36." "It's a sable." "Anything you want to ask me first?" "Have you got a gun?" "I do." "You want to see it?" "Sure." "I've never fired it in the line of duty, though." "Have you fired it otherwise?" "Well, not this particular one." "I go hunting with my son sometimes." "He's about your age." "Your dad ever take you hunting?" "Not really." "What kind of things you and he like to do together?" "Um, well, he, uh..." "he works a lot, so..." "Ah." "Yeah." "Uh, what's he do?" " He's a doctor." " What kind of doctor?" "He teaches people how to make babies and how to make their parts fit together in the right way." ""Their parts?"" "It's okay." "Uh, my husband conducts clinical research..." "I know what he does, Mrs. Masters." "I just want to hear from your son." "Johnny..." "Has your dad ever shown you how your body works?" "You know, pointed things out to you." "Like, uh, when you're getting dressed or in the bathtub or in the shower?" "No." "Has he ever shown you how his body works?" "Of course he hasn't, Detective." "Mrs. Masters, please." "Of course he hasn't." "Has he ever shown any of your friends how their bodies work?" "I don't know." "You've never heard him talk about those kind of things with any of your friends?" "With my friends?" "No." "Someone who's not your friend?" "This is very important, Johnny." "Who has he talked to?" "So, once he talked to Dennis." "Dennis Daughtry?" "And he talked to him about his body?" "When was this?" "Few weeks ago." "After the party for the team." "Well, I was there." "I..." "I didn't see your father talking to Dennis." "You were putting Howie to bed." "Dennis was waiting for his mom to pick him up." "That's what he said." "And what did you hear them talking about?" " I don't remember." " You don't remember what you told Martha Geiss and Olive Lambert on the playground?" "No." "Because they said you told them something about Dennis and your father." "What did you tell them, Johnny?" "It's okay." "You don't remember saying that your father had to show Dennis how to fix his penis?" "What?" "What?" "Yes, but..." "I didn't mean..." "I just..." "I just said that 'cause I was mad." "And why were you mad?" "Because I hate that kid." "He's an asshole." "Johnny." "And... and dad's always so nice to him." "How is he nice to him?" "He just is." "He..." "He talks to him..." "Spends time with him." "Spends time with him in ways that are different than the way he spends time with you?" "He doesn't spend time with me." "That's not true, Johnny." "He likes Dennis more." " No, sweetheart." " Mrs. Masters." "Johnny..." "I need to know." "Have you ever seen your father and Dennis have any kind of physical contact..." "Okay, that is enough, Detective." "I am not done here, ma'am." "Yes, I would say you are done." "I am not gonna subject my child to any more of this." "I can bring him down to the station" " if that's what you prefer." " Do not threaten me, sir." " Johnny, I need you to go to y..." " I'm sorry." "It's okay." "It's okay." "You didn't do anything wrong." "I'm sorry." "No one's mad at you, honey." "I just need a few minutes alone with the detective." " But, mom..." " It's okay." "Please go." "I'll be in in a second to tuck you in." "Go on." "Go on." "I don't know what you think is going on here." "I don't know who said what, if some silly girl on a playground twisted my son's words to make it seem like my husband..." "The boy confirmed with his mother that your husband showed him pictures of a naked man." "My husband is a doctor." "If he showed that boy images in a medical textbook," "I am sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for it." "Without his mother's knowledge?" "I would say any mother who leaves her son at a party isn't fit to judge." "Mrs. Masters, can you tell me the circumstances under which an adult showing a minor explicit sexual images can be considered appropriate behavior?" "My husband would never hurt a child." "And yet it sounds to me as if he's hurt your son." "You need to leave, Detective." "That's fine." "I will have to follow up, of course." "And when you do, our lawyer will be present." "Hmm." "Well, let's get our check, shall we?" "We barely just ordered." "I think this dinner's over, wouldn't you say?" "I don't want to go." " Alice, come on." " You can go." "Alice." "Are you not hearing me?" "I'm staying." "Do you want me to make a scene?" "You want to finish the bottle." "That's it, isn't it?" "So how long have you managed to go this time?" "Three months?" "I'll go to a meeting in the morning." "I'm sorry." " You're not." " Are you sorry?" "Yes, I am." "For being with her, or for rubbing my face in it?" "You know I wouldn't have chosen for you to find out this way." "Is there a good way to meet your husband's mistress?" "Can't you even pretend?" "I've never denied I was with any of them, Alice." "I've always been straight with you." "You can't claim it's unfair when it was you who proposed this arrangement." "What choice did I have?" "Alice, I don't want to do this here." "Let's go." "I'm asking." "What choice did you leave me with but to look the other way?" "You do not want to go down this road." "Trust me." "Oh, why not?" "Because you don't think your behavior leaves me without a choice?" "Every time you disappear down that bottle and I have to come find you or you threaten to hurt yourself." "It brings you back." "Admit it, you like fixing me." "I used to." "Can't say I've done such a good job of it lately, have I?" "You always like the ones that need fixing." "Tell me." "How is this one broken?" "She's not." "Come on." "What is it?" "Financial problems?" "Childhood abuse?" "An ex-husband who's stalking her?" "Virginia's different." "They're all different until they're all the same." "I'm in love with her, Alice." "Now, you've never heard me say that before." "What kind of partnership do we have, Bill, if you marginalize me every time I've upset you?" "How are we equals if you're always able to exact a price for me wanting something outside of work?" "I know you're angry, and rightly so, but eventually you will see that this is for the best." "I am saving you from that man." ""That man" is someone that I could be happy with." "I..." "I really don't think so, Virginia." "And... and why is that?" "Because of the kind of man you think he is, or because I'm just not entitled to a life outside of work?" "You're..." "you're entitled to one." "You just don't want one." "That was the argument that you made to me in the hospital, when I was in labor, that... that my ambivalence is the problem, that I should embrace the part of me that cares about work above all else." "Hell, I thought you meant that." "But I see now the person that argument really serves is you, that you were just looking out for yourself." "You're always just looking out for yourself." "Why do you love her?" "Ally..." "Tell me." "I promise I won't get mad." "There's no easy way to explain it." "I..." "It's okay." "Just tell me as a favor to me." "Well, for one, her life doesn't start when I arrive and stop when I leave." "She has other things she cares about." "I'm not her whole world." " That's a good thing?" " Yes, it is." "Why?" "It's okay." "I know." "You need a partner, not a project." "And I'm a project." "But I wasn't always." "Was I?" "Does she make you laugh?" "Yes." "I used to make you laugh." "You still do make me laugh." "But not enough to make up for all the other stuff." "Madame and monsieur, prepared especially for you, steak tartare." "Bon appétit." "You think I want to keep you tethered to your desk?" "I said what I did because you needed permission to stop hating yourself." " I don't hate myself." " No?" "You want to want a man, Virginia, because, as unconventional as you consider yourself, you're still your mother's daughter, and she told you you need one to be happy." "But I know you." "A relationship will never satisfy you the way your work will." "It lights you up." "It gives you a purpose so much more consequential than waiting for a man to come home." "And... and what?" "Check his collar to see if there's lipstick on it?" "That is too small a life for you, Virginia, and it is a waste of what you have to offer the world." "Excuse me." "By any chance, are you those people from the sex book?" "Masters and Johnson, right?" "We just loved your book." "Uh, if there's any way, uh..." "Oh, Rog and I would just be so tickled if we could just..." "If we could just get an autograph." " I'm sorry." " Excuse me." "Alice." "Dan, what is it?" "She's not feeling well." "I'll go." "Will there be any more comings and goings tonight, or may we serve you your dinner?" "Are they gonna put him in jail?" "No." "Of course not." "But he'll find out, won't he, that... that I said the thing that got him in trouble?" "It's not about what you said, Johnny." "It's about how people took what you said." "And they will come to see that dad was just being nice to that boy." "Yeah, but he's..." "he's gonna know that I started it, and it's just..." "It's gonna give him another reason to hate me." "Your father doesn't hate you." "He doesn't like me." "What are you talking about?" "Johnny, your father loves you." "You're always telling dad to spend more time with me." "If he wanted to, you wouldn't have to ask." "Can I tell you a little secret?" "I think your father is afraid of you." "Afraid of me?" "Of showing you how much he loves you." " I don't think so." " No." "When you were a little baby, he was scared to hold you, because..." "Well, because I think he was afraid to love something he might hurt." "You were so perfect that he didn't want to ruin you." "How would he do that?" "By... passing on to you the things he doesn't like about himself." "Like what?" "I don't know." "Maybe things that he feels like he got from his father." "Dad didn't, uh..." "didn't like his father." "Why not?" "Uh... he didn't think his father liked him very much." "Why?" "What did he do?" "I don't think he cared about being a good father." "He was an angry man, and he didn't know what to do with his anger, so, it came out in ways that hurt daddy." "Which is why he left home so early." "He was not much older than you." "So they never made up?" "They were just... mad at each other forever and then just never..." "never made up?" "I was hoping it'd be better between dad and me someday." "What if I ruined that?" "Oh, honey, of course you didn't." "Of course you didn't." "Are you all right?" "The room is spinning." "Come sit." "Okay." "Thank you." " A wet towel, please?" " Yes." "Thank you." "May I offer you some mouthwash, ma'am?" "Yes, thank you." "Um..." "Ugh, what a disaster." "You weren't there when the steak tartare arrived." "It was the three glistening egg yolks on top that did it." "Ugh, God." "Do either of you ladies know if "E-Yew De-Toilet" is mouthwash?" "Uh... perhaps you could, uh, get my friend a soft drink from the bar." "Okay." "Actually, we could've been friends, you and I." "Can't we still?" "I think it's a little awkward, don't you, seeing as how my husband's in love with you?" "Don't insult me by acting surprised." "Danny told me." "He... he told you..." "He always tells me." "We've been through this before." "Did you think you were different?" "They all do." "Enjoy him, Virginia." "He's a lovely man." "A true gentleman." "He'll always open the door for you, he'll never forget your birthday, whisk you away on business trips, and take you in his arms and dance with you even though there's no music playing." "And when he shows up at your doorstep and tells you that he wants you to spend the rest of your life with him, in that moment, he will think he means it." "I didn't know what to say to him." "Of course, he completely blames himself." "Well, are... are charges gonna be filed?" "I don't know." "What, the detective didn't say, or..." "No, Paul, I told you." "It ended abruptly." "I..." "I asked him to leave." "And what did Johnny tell you actually happened?" "Tell me?" "Nothing." "I didn't ask." "You didn't ask him to elaborate on what he saw?" "Why would I?" "This is just a..." "a misunderstanding that's gotten out of hand." "It's... it's Bill's work that makes him vulnerable to accusations like this." "Well, it's his work and his lack of judgment, I think." "You don't seriously think..." "No, he didn't do anything wrong." "I know that." "For sure." "I know what kind of man my husband is." "Well, he's the kind of man who... who's had a mistress for over a decade." "Yeah, but that's something he did to me, Paul." "He... he wouldn't hurt a child." "Never." "I woke up every morning for a decade thinking that I was a happily married man." "All the while, my wife was planning on leaving me." "You think you know someone, and you don't." "You have to get out." "Now." "Before Bill comes home." "I'll look into renting you a house for you and the kids across town." "I can't do that, Paul." "You can't do what?" "You can't take steps to protect your children?" "I am protecting them... from the false impression that their father is a monster." "Because, if I leave now, that is what I am saying." "Not just to the world, but to my children." "And there's no taking it back." "No matter what happens, no matter if the charges are dropped, he will forever be the man their mother didn't want under the same roof." "Won't leaving Bill always say to them that you think that you're better off without him?" "Yes." "Better for me." "He has been a bad husband..." "Bill." "I have reasons to leave him that are a mile long, but..." "I don't have good enough reason to take those children away from him." "Because he's been such a great father." "I'd be a better one, Libby." "You know that." "It doesn't matter." "It doesn't matter." "He is the father that they have." "He is the father that Johnny needs to know loves him." "Because... because, without that, it just... it just plays out in exactly the same way." "Another son without a father becomes a father... who doesn't know how to love his son." "And if..." "If I stay, they have a chance to fix what is broken." "Libby, are you, um..." "Are you saying that this is what you need to do now, for the time being, or what you need to do forever?" "Is there nothing I can get you?" "Just the check, thank you." "Alain, annulez la commande." "On annule tout?" "Mais j'étais sur le point de servir!" "Oui, je sais." "N'en dites pas un mot au chef." " Amenez I'addition, vite." " D'accord." "Right away, monsieur." "So, I have to ask." "How exactly did you expect things to go tonight?" "Just the way they did." "Really?" "With Virginia storming out?" "Well, I saw her, uh, leaving a little closer to dessert, but yes." "Alice's presence helped speeding up her departure?" "I'd say, in the grand scheme of things, your wife's upset was a little more your doing than mine, wouldn't you?" "You're a son of a bitch, Bill." "And a misguided one if you think that alienating Virginia is the way to win her back." "That is your end game, isn't it?" "Or are you afraid admitting that will give me an edge?" "An edge?" "I'm sorry." "I..." "I hate to be the one to break it to you, Dan, but she's finished with you." "Uh, it may not happen right away, but it... it's inevitable." " It's over." " Mm." "And how do you figure?" "Well, because that's what Virginia does." "She never mentioned the name Ethan Haas to you?" "He was a doctor." "Promising future." "Would've done anything for her, including walking away from another woman." "Virginia called the whole thing off a few days before she was supposed to join him in Los Angeles." "Broke his heart, poor fellow." "But I'm sure yours is more resilient." "So you're saying she changed her mind completely on her own with no interference from you?" "Oh, no, I asked her to marry me." "Only, uh, it wasn't on bended knee with a ring in my pocket, if that's what you're imagining." "No, the marriage I proposed to her was a marriage of the mind, a true intellectual partnership, and I did it without uttering a word." "All I did was put her name next to mine on that, uh, first paper we presented at Wash U." "It was my vow to her, you know, that that was who we would become..." "Masters and Johnson." "It's who we are." "You know, it's how people think of us." "It's how we think of ourselves." "Virginia, too." "Hm." "And that was 10 years ago." "The bloom is off the rose." "Hm." "Perhaps." "Which is why I've decided to give her my name." "Just my name..." "no "MD" after it... and put it together with hers on the next book." "Kind of a renewal of our vows." "And you think that's gonna make a difference?" "It's a little too late." "You've pushed her too far, no?" "Well, in my experience, when the train is pulling out of the station and you're not on it, you run twice as fast and twice as hard to make sure it doesn't leave without you." "I bet you're damn good at chess, Bill." "And if we played, you'd probably have the whole game figured out before I even made my opening gambit." "It's quite possible." "Mm." "All this strategizing, it's exhausting." "You must be really tired." "Plotting every move, anticipating every countermove so far into the future that you completely lose sight that there's a far easier way to get what you want." "Which is what?" "Tell her how you feel about her." "But I bet that never occurred to you, did it, Bill?" "Well, guess what." "It occurred to me." "So, I guess that's..." "checkmate?" "I'm sorry to interrupt." "There's a call for you from St. Louis, Dr. Masters." "They said it's an emergency." "Well, what time is the flight?" "It's about an hour and a half." "You all right?" "She's a little shaky." "You should get her home." "Car's out front." "Okay." "I'll take a cab to the airport as soon as possible." "Good night, Virginia." "That was Betty." "Uh, Libby had to track me down." "Something's happened." "I need to get home." "What is it?" "The kids?" "I don't know." "Uh, Betty didn't have the details, but she has me booked on a flight that leaves in 90 minutes." "Do you need me to come with you?" "No, no." "We left our things in the hotel." "You should stay the night and bring them home with you." "All right." "Virginia, I..." "I..." "I want you to know that, uh..." "This is not the time, Bill." "We have a cab for you, sir." "Go." "Excuse me, madam." "May we serve you your dinner?" " All right." " Very good, madam." "Jacques, uh, please seat madame and tell the kitchen to resume service." "May I?" "Thank you." "Vivre mon demain" "Mon bonheur te ressemble" "Tout les deux, vous allez si bien ensemble" "J't'le dirais Jamais, Jamais assez" "Tout ce que tu fais m'fais de l'effet" "What are you doing here?" "I left her." "Alice." "I've left her." "Dan..." "I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Virginia." "I mean it." "Ça n'va pas plus loin" "J'veux pas voir derrière" "Vivre mon demain" "Un dernier verre de sherry" "De chéri mon amour" "Comme je m'ennuie" "Tous les jours se ressemblent à présent" "Tu me manques térriblement"

"TWO SHY MEN" "Inspired by the comedy by" "Cast:" "You see, gentlemen, how this wretch treated his wife..." "Mr. Fremissin, a shy young man, who was pleading his first case." "for the accused, all the severity of the Court!" "An example must be made and" "I ask for this man all the severity of the Court." "The Defense will now speak." "The young man's aunt, as excited as her nephew..." "I ask for my client... all the severity of the Court!" "Three months in prison!" "Two years later..." "Garadoux, now a widower, lives in a village where no one knows his past." "Two years haven't cured Fremissin's shyness..." ""You Must Love Me"" "She's the daughter of a landlord from around here." "It would be an advantage to your nephew..." "Another shy person, Mr. Thibaudier was this same night very embarrassed..." "I am a widower with a good position." "I love your daughter." "But I've been waiting for your answer for two months..." "She's charming." "Be audacious." "That's the secret to success." "The two young people, from this day, were always thinking of each other." "If you love her, make her love you." "Be daring." "Try to see her again." "Every day, Fremissin went to the village where Cecile lived, hoping to meet her." "But Mr. Garadoux insists that I've given him your hand..." "Besides, I should have rejected him earlier!" "I don't want to marry him." "Why haven't you told him so?" "I've arranged everything." "My family's coming tomorrow with the lawyer to sign the contract." "Unfortunately I'm engaged." "Yes, Mademoiselle Cecile walked by with a young man." "Go see my father today." "Ask for me boldly." "It's the only way." "Papa, a young man is going to come and ask for my hand." "It's him I want to marry and not Garadoux!" "He didn't ask me anything!" "And tomorrow Garadoux is coming with his family and the lawyer." "If you come back to this village again, you're a dead man!" "The next day." "My father says you didn't talk to him." "Come quickly." "Love, Cecile" "If you leave your house you're dead." " A masked man" "The Thibaudier family waits for the Garadouxs and the lawyer." "Not a word about my past." "I won't come down." "I don't want to marry that man!" "Cecile isn't ready." "She'll come down when the lawyer arrives." "I'm going to the Thibaudiers." "I'm the lawyer." "Don't go!" "The house is full of masked bandits." "The Thibaudiers are being held prisoner by masked bandits!" "The house is being attacked by bandits!" "The bandits are giving themselves up." "We're saved!" "Where are the bandits?" "Why Mr. Garadoux!" "If you were the bandit, then you must want to go back to prison." "The poor man beat his wife." "I had him sentenced to three months in prison." "The poor man." "They've killed him!" "The Garadouxs, having sued the Thibaudiers for damages," "Fremessin had to defend his future father-in-law." "But in court the shy men..."

"Henry and I are so good together when we're alone, but when Vince is around, it's really weird." "I thought that you were definitely going to Princeton." "I don't want to be away from you." "You can crash with me until you find something." "No, he can't." "Henry, Vince, Henry, Vince -- aah!" "Help me fix it." "Okay, calm down." "Listen to me, okay?" "Unfortunately, you're going to have to make a decision." "I mean, you cannot keep stringing Henry along if you're having these feelings for Vince." "It's just not fair." "What?" "Henry's still not picking up." "Oh, God, he must hate me." "I am so sorry." "I never would have said anything about Vince if I'd known Henry was standing right there." "No, stop apologizing, okay?" "It's not your fault." "Hmm, aren't you forgiving?" "What?" "Okay, let's be honest." "You did open up your big pie hole." "Lauren, it's not her fault... even though she knows Henry always hangs out at the diner." "Yeah, well, Holly's right." "Yeah, I should have known better... even though Holly did choose to have a very private conversation in a very public place." "That is true." "Yeah, true." "It's my fault... even though it's a conversation that should have been in hushed tones, and Val was belting out her advice like it was open mike night." "Your voice does carry, which is understandable, to overpower your high squeaks." "Yeah." "It's like the two of you together, it's like, "blah, blah"... [ squeaky ] "Blah, blah, blah, blah"..." ""Blah, blah"..." "Ugh, I'm surprised there was anyone left in that diner." "You know what?" "I don't want to get involved." "You know, I'm just going to call Gary again." "Or, should I say... [ squeaky ] I'm going to call Gary again." "Good idea, Holly!" "[ cellular phone rings ]" "Hello?" "Hey, did you find him yet?" "Did you find him?" "No, I went to Washington Square Park," "Chelsea Piers..." "I even went by his parents' apartment." "Nothing." "Okay, will you call me as soon as you find him?" "As soon as I find him." "So, how you doing?" "I just..." "I think I'd feel a lot better if I just talked about it." "Do you mind?" "No." "Go ahead, man." "Let it out." "I hear you, man." "Anything?" "No, he's still not answering." "Okay, I don't want to be insensitive here, but I'm getting a little bored." "Okay." "He wasn't at Discorama, he wasn't at Astor Place, and he wasn't at Reminiscence, but how cute is this skirt?" "Okay, I have to get going." " What?" "Where are you going?" " I can't sit around here anymore." "I have to go find my boyfriend." " Vince or Henry?" " Henry!" "Henry!" "Henry!" "You can say it all you want, you still like Vince." "Okay, you know what?" "This is not about Vince." "This is about Henry." "Henry is my boyfriend." "Again, I don't want to get involved, but "skinny" is your boyfriend, you got a crush on "gorgeous."" "If you ask me," ""pie hole" over here did you a favor." "I think what "none of your business"" "is trying to say is that it's better to have everything out in the open." "Yeah, you have to decide what you want." "I know what I want." "I want everything to go back to the way it was." " When?" " When everything was great between me and Henry." "I have to go." "No, wait, it's almost 11:00." "I am not going to let you just run around in the middle of the night." "Okay, Val, give me my jacket back." "No, mnh-mnh." "Anything you have to say to him, you can say it tomorrow." " Give it!" " No!" "You're very upset, he's very upset, and I am just going to have to insist that you don't go." "Give it." "Val!" "I am not 7 years old anymore." "I swear to God, I can take you down." "Oh, yeah?" " Bring it." " Okay." "I got 20 bucks on Holly." "I don't know." "I think Val's a biter." "You know what sucks about you?" "You think you know everything." "I don't think." "I know I know everything." "Just like I know you are not going anywhere tonight." "Huh?" "Well, you know what you don't know..." "You don't know that I know where you hide your car keys." "Hey!" "Bye." "She took the car keys and Val's coat." "I love that kid!" "Is this her coat from third grade?" "[ thinking ] Look at that ant." "Hi, ant." "I'm going to call you Ant-tonio." "Thanks, man." "I feel a lot better." "That's it?"

"Well, you know what's going to happen." "Hmm, that looks really warm." "What?" "That winter coat on your legs." "Back off." "I shaved this morning." "Ooh." "I'll tell you exactly what is going to happen." "Holly is going to go talk to Henry, he's going to say things out of anger, they're going to hurt each other's feelings, and she is going to be shattered." "And you know who she's going to come running to to pick up the pieces?" " [ Both ]:" "Me." " No." "Me." "I am going to have to put everything back together again because that is what I do." "But not this time." "She is on her own." "She thinks she can handle everything on her own?" "Well, fine, let her handle this on her own, because, quite honestly, this whole thing is starting to really cheese me off." "Hey, Val." " What?" " Want to see something really gross?" "Quit it." "You know what?" "I'm sorry." "That was really cold." "Thank you." "Maybe you could start a fire by rubbing your legs together." "[ knock on door ]" " Hey." " Hey." " Is Henry here?" " No." "When does he usually come home?" "Well, we've lived together for a day." "So far, he gets home after midnight." "You want to come in and wait for him?" "Yeah, but I just need you to know that I'm here to see Henry." "Henry is the person I'm here to see." "Henry." "Okay?" "Whatever." "You okay?" "You seem a little..." "Seem a little what?" "You don't know me." "Henry knows me." "Do you want to take your coat off?" "Okay, I'm not taking anything off." "Okay, fine." "Sorry." "It's just Henry and I had a thing, and it's going to be fine." "I just need to talk to him." " What kind of thing?" " Just a thing." "Okay." "I'm going to get a soda." "Do you want one?" "Uh, yeah, sure, thanks." "So, uh, what did Henry do?" "Henry didn't do anything." "It's me." "Well, whatever it is, I'm sure you'll work it out." "I know." "Here's to you two working it out." "Oh, what a surprise." "You're here at Vince's." "Where have you been?" "I've been looking all over for you." "You haven't answered your phone " "Oh, what, were you worried about me?" "Yes." "Henry, listen, can we go outside and talk?" "Good luck with that." "I have nothing to say to you." "I'm just going to get my stuff and go." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Come on, dude." "She came all the way out here to talk to you." "The least you can do is listen." "Communication -- number one." "Now, the two of you, come here and sit down." "We're going to work this out." "Uh, Vince, come here, man." "I got this." "I got it." "No, I don't think you do, bro." "It's okay." "I have experience." "The state ordered my family to do this all the time." "This is what we're going to do." "Holly's going to tell you her side of the story, and you're going to listen with an open mind, and then Henry is going to tell you how he feels " "Are you kidding me?" "Aw, crap, you're right." "We're supposed to start with a trust exercise first." "Holly, come here and take my hand." "Stop it." "Dude, I'm just trying to " "Yeah, you've done enough." "Done enough what?" "What are you talking about?" "Henry " "He doesn't know?" " Know what?" " No, Henry, please don't." "Oh, I think you're going to be very excited." "What are you talking about?" "Why don't you tell him, Holly?" "Or maybe Val can come over and break the news." "Okay, Henry, stop." "Let's just go outside and talk." " Dude, what's your problem?" " Dude, you're my problem." "You're the reason we're breaking up." "We're breaking up?" "Because of me?" "Ask her." "I have to go." "Life was so much easier when Henry didn't talk at all."

"You were right, I was wrong," "I should have stayed home, but now I'm totally screwed." "Oh, I am so sorry to hear that." "It appears Holly is totally screwed." "Yeah, I..." "I do hope everything works out okay with that." " What?" " Oh, I'm sorry." "What, were you expecting something else?" "Say, someone to pick up the pieces?" "Well, I am no longer in the pick-up-the-pieces business." "I'm really letting her have it." "Shh." "I need you." "I know." "She needs me." "Ha." "Henry broke up with me, Vince knows I like him, the car won't start, it's cold, it's dark," "I'm in Brooklyn, and I want to come home." "I'm on my way." "Wait a second." "I don't have a car." "She took my car." "Oh, well, maybe we could take Tina's magic carpet legs." "I can't believe it." "I had no idea Holly liked me like that." "I mean, she wasn't acting any different towards me." "I always thought she was totally into Henry." "Well, she is, you know?" "She's just -- just confused." "I got to go in there and talk to him." "I can't sit here and do nothing." "Henry " "I just want to thank you for letting me stay here." "I really appreciate it." "You don't have to leave." "Uh, yeah, I do have to leave." "Dude, I'm really sorry, but I'm just as surprised as you are." "Really?" "You're surprised?" "Walking around with all your muscles, being all good-looking." "It's a shock she'd like you." "You are easy on the peepers." "Hey, what are you looking for?" "I'm looking for my wristband." " What wristband?" " It's a brown leather band with Holly's initials on it." "She gave it to me." "I don't even know why I want it." "I just don't want it here." "It's next to the sink." "I saw it there this morning." "[ knock on door ]" "I'll get it." "You came back here?"

"All right, I'll help you through it." "Come here." "Uh, Holly's car won't start." "And you know, I think we can all agree that it's real brave of her to come back in here where she's obviously not welcome." "Let's give it up for Holly, huh?" "Okay." "It's really nice of your mom to let us use her car." "Yeah, she has no idea we have it." "Okay, here's the seat belt." "Oh." "Okay." "Okay." "Let me..." "Ow, ow, pinching!" "Ow!" "Ooh, ooh, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm just trying to find the buckle." "Ooh!" "Huh?" "Found it." "Wait, I cannot ride all the way to Brooklyn like this." "My spinal cord is like an "i.""

"Oh, look, it's the mix CD you made for me." "Oh, look at all the little hearts you drew on it." "Isn't that sweet?" "And what is this in my pocket?" "It's a wristband with your initials on it." "Remember when we gave these to each other?" "Remember?" "I gave you yours, and I told you I loved you, and you gave me mine, and you said you loved me." "Oh, wait a minute." "You didn't say you loved me." "You said you cared about me." "Well, that turned out to be a steaming pile of monkey crap." "Oh, and you know what was really special?" "Remember the night when I came over and I " "Okay, you know what, Henry?" "That's enough." "Would you excuse us for a second?" "Oh, please, God." "Okay, I understand that you're angry, and I'm sorry about how all this came out, but don't you dare accuse me of not caring about you." "I came here tonight so that we could talk about this and maybe try to fix it, and I am not the one who said anything about breaking up." "You are." "Well, what do you expect?" "That we could go back to the way things were." "Do you really think that I can go -- [ knock on door ]" "[ Henry groans ]" "We're here." "Ow, ow." "Oh, I'm sorry." "So was it really uncomfortable?"

"No, I want you to know I wouldn't do that to you." "I consider you a friend, and I wouldn't do that to a friend." "Okay." "Hang in there." "We'll be out of here in a minute." "I messed this up so bad." "It's like I couldn't have handled it any worse if I tried." "You should have seen the look on Henry's face." "He hates me." "Everyone hates me." "I don't." "Do you think I should go talk to him?" "I think " "I think you should do whatever you want to do." "I feel like I can't just leave it like this, but..." "What would you do?" "Well, I would think about how angry he is and how hurt he must be, and I would wait and let him come to me." "How long do you think I'm going to have to wait?" "About 10 seconds." "What?" "I'm outta here." "I'm going to get going." "Okay." "Listen..." "I'm glad that you still care about me." "I do." "Okay." "I still care about you, too." "But this thing with Vince..." "I just can't."

"Been doing it all over the country for years." "Trinity's in Miami, Dexter, starting his cycle all over again." "Vicky Noonan, 22, found in the bathtub." "1979?" "But this is the Gomez hearing." "Yes, Mr. Morgan." " The defendant's name is Benito Gomez." " I must have brought the wrong notes." "Wrong notes, wrong blood type, wrong case." "That's what you call a momentary mix-up in a murder trial?" "That asshole you let walk?" "Now you get it right." "Quinn's legwork may have shown me where to find our friend, but this, Benny, my bloodwork is the stuff that seals your fate." " Fuck you want?" " You." "Shutdown for decades way out of town."

" No." "I don't even remember getting in the car." "Short-term memory loss is common for this type of injury." "Can also affect your judgment, cause confusion, disorientation."

" You've got a ten-minute head start." " Make it 20 just to be safe." "You should... leave your hair down." "It's beautiful." "Ray's tow yard, 15th, right?" "Car trouble?" "I..." "little accident."

"Unless SWAT's lying in wait for me." "The bag's still there." "Wait, a bag." "Not the six it takes to hold a body." "My kill tools." "If they're here and Benny isn't, he must have been thrown from the car." "I have to get to the crash site." "Shit!" "Dexter, I need you at a crime scene." "Someone found a body." "You make it sound so easy." "Vizcaya Reef Hotel." "Just one murder-free day, Miami." "That's all I asked for." " On my way." " Okay, I need you there asap." "High priority." "One stop first."

"Can you bring it up?" "Thanks." "My keen forensic sense of smell tells me you're wearing a perfume." "Anything to do with the return of one special agent..." "Frank Lundy?" "I have a boyfriend who happens to be coming back in town tonight." "And if you smell me again, I'll punch you in the throat." "So much for keeping these shootings low profile."

"Wait till he hears it's "vacation murders", plural." "Jesus." "Does anyone know this Christine Hill?" "We might have met a few times." "See if you can get her to tone down the creative writing, okay?" "I'm gonna need an arrest here soon." " Don't worry, I'm on it." " Actually, I'm on it." "I told the mayor I'd take lead on this case." "No reflection on you." "It's your call, Lieutenant." "You are so boning this reporter." "Shut the fuck up." "Guys, vamanos, we got a crime to solve." "You here to lend a hand?" "More like find one." "If those body parts were thrown from the car," " locating them is a matter of..." " Velocity and trajectory." "Should be right around here."

"Where is Benny?" "I don't know." "Fucking dead people." "Everything we've got on Noonan's 1979 homicide conviction." "Evidence logs, witness statements." "Plea agreements in there too." "If I hadn't gone through that phase in college, I'd kiss you." "Why are you interested in a murder that happened while you were in diapers?" "A guy kills his wife while she's taking a bath 30 years ago." "We found a new victim a few days ago and, get this, his old address." " A coincidence?" "I think fucking not." " You forgetting something." "Your father's old informant folders aren't gonna re-file themselves." "Sorry." "Susannah Coffey." "Another blast from the past." " Was she at least useful?" " Only as a reminder to wear sunblock." "I'm still waiting on a few call backs from some other names on the list, but so far, I'm starting to think maybe I fucked around more than my old man did." "Just work the scene." "Don't raise flags." "Just work the scene..." "Then get the hell to the boxing arena." "Get those news trucks out of here." "Copy that." "This is an active crime scene, ma'am." "I'm gonna need you behind that tape." ""Ma'am"?" "Your article, "Vacation murder"?" ""Murders" now, it seems." "How can I talk to you when I got to watch everything I say?" "Which means you do still want to talk to me?" "Yeah, I do." "Good." "'Cause I like talking to you." "Amongst other things." "Those things are good, but we got to have some rules." "I need you to run an inventory on the victim's personal effects." "I'm on it, boss." "Stay back here, ma'am." "You know better." "Your timing sucks." "What have we got here?" "Shot from behind as he was coming in the room." "Caught a bullet in the back of the neck." "Empty wallet, watch missing, drawer's empty." "Someone figured out it's easier to rob people who are dead first." "Directional swipe pattern of one of the assailant's shoes shows he went that way." "Okay, Angel, start a canvass." " Guests, employees, security cameras." " Already handled." " Next of kin will have to be notified." " Got it, if you're good with that." "You got your hands full here." "I'll deal with it." "What's up with the boss lady taking lead on your case?" "Chain of command is there for a reason." "Just do your job." "Your gills are green." "You gonna blow?" "I need to get some air." "Don't have time for this." "Are we blood?" "Join you?" "1:00." "Some things..." " Holy-what-the-fuck is that?" " Sushi." "What happened to the daily cucumber samey?" "It retire along with the rest of you?" "All that cream cheese wasn't exactly helping my cholesterol." "I'm sorry." "This is too fucking weird." "I can get a sandwich to make you comfortable." "No, it's..." "This." "Us." "I haven't seen you, spoken to you, or exchanged so much as a Christmas card with you in two years." "Now all of a sudden you're in Miami holding a pair of chopsticks without so much as an email saying," ""Hey, remember me?" "We used to fuck." ""I'm coming." "You want to grab lunch?"" "I mean, seriously." "What the fuck?" "I know." "Same old mouth." "Not without its charm." "Really?" "That's all you have to say to me?" "I should have let you know I was coming to Miami." "This task force they're trying to put together is hush-hush." "Plus I knew you'd be busy, what with making detective and all." "Tell me about it." "I have a suspect en route." "The Lisa Bell case?" "What do you know about Lisa Bell?" "Only what your brother's told me." ""Check this," she brags." "We found another murder." "30 years old." "Same M.O., same address, same fucking bathtub." "A guy was convicted." "He's back out in the world." "So how do I not like him for slicing up Lisa Bell?" "Sounds like he deserves a good hard look." "I had patrol pick him up." "Should be here any minute." "Mind if I tag along?" "To the interview?" "I'd like to see detective Morgan in all her glory." "Sounds like someone's bored with retirement already." "Here you go." "Thanks very much." "Keep the change." "Come on, guys." "Come on, boys." "Sorry, sir." "It was an accident." "It's okay, kiddo." "It happens." "What is that, strawberry?" "Bubblegum gelato." "How... repulsive." "You better catch up with your mom." "You don't want to lose her." "Just had to find blood, didn't you?" "It is my job." "And you've got a family to support and people to dismember." "You're spinning too many plates." "The sooner I wrap this up, The sooner I get to the boxing arena." "You might want to give some thought when somebody else finds that body." "Manager's on his way to open the safe." "What's the date of birth on his passport?" "5/5/72." "Geez." "Don't sweat it, Quinn." "I've got much bigger things to worry about." "I filled in the lieutenant on what we found." ""We"?" "Dude, there's no "me" in "team."" "Well, technically there is, but..." "Blood deposit on the yucca on the assailant's escape route." "He probably scraped himself." " Does that mean we have his DNA?" " I'll run it through the database." "Go." "You, come with me." "I'm going..." "just not where you think." "You were convicted of killing your wife back in 79." "Sliced open her femoral artery." "She bled to death in your bathtub." "Do I need to talk to a lawyer?" "At this point, we're interviewing you to get more or less an expert opinion." "Your case bears an uncanny resemblance to a case we're working on now." "Same M.O. Femoral artery." "Same house." "Same everything." "No fucking way." "Yes fucking way." "Sort of puts you at number one, person-of-interest-wise." " I didn't kill my wife." " Oh, no?" "You're just another innocent man behind bars for no good reason." "The fucking deck was stacked before I walked into that courtroom in a death penalty state." "You copped to doing the deed." "You took the deal." " I did my time and I moved on." " You moved on to Lisa Bell." "Who is Lisa Bell?" "The young lady that you killed last monday night in your old house." "Whatever sick fucking poetry you find in that." "Tell us what you did, Mr. Noonan." "It was muggy for so late at night." "And Vicky, my wife... wanted to cool off in the tub, so..." "I went out to score some shit and I came back." "And I found her." "I wish I could buy the tears." "I just..." "I can't get there." "Monday night I was working a swing shift at the homeless shelter in Allapatah hosing piss off the sidewalk from the folks waiting to get inside until 8:00-fucking-A.M." "We'll call the homeless shelter." "Verify your story." "One, the guy's a train wreck." "Two, he's a total slob, he smells like a sewer," " and his fingernails are disgusting." " Our killer's meticulous." " Zero DNA left at the crime scene." " You caught his case of the shakes." "Given his rehab history, I'm voting DTs." "And Lisa Bell was cut with surgical precision." "Detective Morgan..." " are we in agreement here?" " Violent agreement." "Retired special agent Lundy." "If Noonan didn't kill Lisa Bell, why is the M.O. the same as his wife's murder?" " Copycat?" " Of an obscure 30-year-old crime?" "Do we think Noonan's telling the truth..." " that he didn't kill his wife?" " I believe we do." "Shit." "I have a theory I'd like to run by you." "We could grab dinner, review the case, maybe catch a bad guy." "Okay, I guess." "I've got to cut Noonan loose and make sure he talks to a lawyer." "If our side railroaded him into that plea bargain, he could have one fuck mother of a case." "You have a good heart, Debra." "Pick you up around 8:00?" "Yeah, so I'll..." "The boxing arena's at the next off ramp, but I still have miles to go before I sleep." "Bits and pieces." "Memory fragments." "All I have from last night." "Looks like I got the job done." "Almost." "Blood." "I was off my game." "Sloppy." "With Harry's code ingrained in me, cleaning a kill room should be automatic." "The code." "Etched into my memory to ensure survival." "What would I do if I couldn't properly dispose of a body?" "I'd hide it." "I investigate crime scenes all the time." "But this one... my crime scene... it's giving me nothing." "Damn it." "Focus." "Track it." "Where did I go from here?" "The pharmacy." "Harrison's ear ache medicine." "The only stop I made before the crash." "The only stop I remember." "If you thought you were coming right back, not a bad hiding place." "Why are you wearing those?" "This is the way I was dressed the first time we met." "Your mother's murder was the last time your memory was a blank." "Why?" "Not in front of my baby!" "Because not remembering saved me." "And now if you want to save yourself, you have to remember." "If you don't fix this screw-up," "Harrison's only memory of his father will be of you behind bars." "It's not a screw-up." "I just can't remember." "Got to check today's incident reports." "Make sure Benny's body hasn't surfaced." "It's in this city somewhere." "Thanks for meeting me here." "The sooner we get an estimate, the sooner my husband gets his car back." "Well, that much damage, I wouldn't even try to talk you into fixing it." "I thought it was a fender bender." "I'm sure there's a bent fender somewhere in this mess." "Oh, my god." "Everybody got off easy on this one." "Your husband, my company." "He should count his blessings." "Yes, he should." "Hey, buddy." "You lose something?" "There's an understatement." "Can't find my I.D." " Use mine to buzz you in." " All right." "Thanks." "Look, the other day after court," "I was totally out of line going off on you like that." "Gomez is the criminal, not you." "No, not me." "Plan on having a heart-to-heart with the prick when I find him." "Want him to know he's still on my radar, but he's been laying low." "Look, can we do this another time?" "My password." "Access denied, Dex." "I can't even remember my own password." "I'm here to help." "Think." "H A" "R R Y" "Thanks, dad." "Bank hold-up." "Alligator in backyard." "Kidnapped three year old found safe." "But no body parts turning up." "From boxing arena, to pharmacy, to the crash." "What am I missing?" "Girl scout cookie time again?" "No, I froze them in case of emergency." "What's the emergency?" "I haven't heard from him in, like, forever, and then he shows up out of the blue for some hush-hush task force and wants to know all about my case." "Not to drag you into my shit." "Drag away." "In this boy's club, who else you gonna talk to?" "This is about him trying to get next to me." "Maybe, but you do have a boyfriend." "Hell yeah, I do." "A good one." "And I'm really fucking happy." "Can I make a suggestion before you eat the box too?" "If there is still something, anything, between you and Lundy..." "There's so not." "Closure will set you free." "Does my hair look better up or down?" "Down definitely." "Thanks." "Okay, Benny, I got to find you before anyone else does." "Better fucking start all over again." "Nothing on the DNA results from the blood on the cactus." "No match in the database." " Sorry." " Hang on, no one's going anywhere." "Oh, shit." "Listen up, guys." "Everyone working the vacation murders, I'm holding over your shift until further notice." "Call home, let your people know they'll see you when they see you." "Quinn, my office." "I'm gonna ask you if we have a problem and I expect the truth." "Look, lieutenant, what happened at the hotel, it's not what you think." "Detective..." "I won't tell you who to date." "It's none of my business." "You should know there's no such thing as off the record with reporters." "So watch the pillow talk with that woman." "Not a problem, lieutenant." "Talking isn't what we do best anyway." "I thought I was picking you up." "I need to clear some things up and I owe you nothing less than complete transparency." "Want anything?" "Tea?" "Water?" "I don't want to mislead you." "And I certainly don't want to hurt you." "It's just that what I have with Anton, it's..." "It's great." "It's really fucking great and we live together." "And... it's great." "And... for the first time in so long, I'm actually... happy." "No offense." "You sure you don't want something to drink?" "Did you not hear a word I just said?" " Everything's great." " Exactly." "So if you've come back here to... rekindle something between us... it's not gonna happen." "In the interest of transparency," " my purpose in coming to Miami is..." " Work related." "Cut the shit, Frank." "You're retired." "The reason I'm in Miami is because I'm convinced that these bathtub murders..." "Noonan's wife, Lisa Bell... are connected to a series of murders all over the country." "It's become something of an obsession of mine and..." "I'm not about to ride off to the sunset and dump something this horrific on whoever gets my office next." "Christ." "I've got to go." "I'm an idiot." " What are you doing here?" " You lied to me." "I saw your car." "It wasn't a fender bender." "It was destroyed." "I didn't want you to worry." "You're not doing a good job." "I'm worried sick about you." "I'm fine." "All right, a little headache and a stiff neck." "I'm gonna take you home." "I can't." "The Lieutenant is holding over the shift because of these murders that are in all the papers." "You fell asleep at the wheel." "Almost got killed because of the hours that they keep you here night after night after night." "So much for my standard alibi." "This is a job I signed on for." "Sorry, I didn't sign on to be a widow." "I'll just talk to Maria myself." "Don't do this." "Not here." "This is my job." "It's how I support all of us." "What if you wind up dead in a ditch?" "All these people put in the same hours that I do." "But you were in the hospital last night." "They weren't." "And the doctor gave me a clean bill of health." "You could talk to him yourself." "I don't want to talk to your doctor." "I want you to." "I guess he wouldn't have released you if it was anything serious." "I'm sure they'd all rather be home with their families, just like me." "I know." "Come on, I'll walk you out." "You gonna pick that up?" "No, I am not, Vince." "You got a problem with that?" "Dude, seriously, 86 the caffeine." "You're freaking me out." " I have someplace I need to be." " I also have places I need to be." "Not good places, but... places." "Come on, blood." "Talk to me." "If somebody tested positive for an STD, would they have to register with the Miami health authorities?" "And why would you ask me that?" "Yes or no, Vince?" "Lieutenant." "Found your guy." "Name's Johnny Rose." " You found a suspect?" " All his info's in there." "How?" "I reworked the blood sample looking for other markers and found a Street 14 strain of drug-resistant syphilis." "I checked that against the STD registry for anyone being treated with heavy-duty meds over the last week." "Turned up a few prostitutes and one Johnny Rose." "Good science says he's your guy." "Briefing room in five minutes." "Strategy meeting." "Dexter's turned up a lead on our shooter." "Hey, Dex, hold up." " I need to be somewhere." " Good work back there." "This Rose guy gets syphilis and fingered for murder?" " That's burning it at both ends, huh?" " I really got to go." "Wife, kids." "Come on, Dex." "What do say we grab a beer this week, figure out how to come at Benny Gomez?" "I have a life." "You have a life." "Just live it alone." "All right?" "Benny Gomez." "The last place I'm gonna look is the last place I saw you." "Moment of your time, Lieutenant?" "People will think something's up." "Something is." "Angel, if this is about the mayor, I had no choice." "I'm not angry about you taking me off the case." "It's how you did it." "I don't even know how to act around you anymore." "This isn't easy for me either." "Maybe we need a... break." "You're right." "It's probably for the best." "So that's that." "So that's that." "So?" "So." "Why are we thinking ourselves out of a good thing?" " What do you think's going on in there?" " Who cares." "I'm so glad you're home." "It's not my birthday." "Can't a girlfriend be glad her boyfriend's home?" "I was gone for two days." "I fucking love you." " I love you." " I love you." "Back to square one." "Literally." "Frank Lundy here." "The last person in the world I want to hear from." "Glad to hear from you." "I need to talk to you... about Trinity." "I'm tired of swimming against the bureaucratic tide by myself." "Can we maybe toss a few ideas around?" "You seem to have the dot-connecting gift." "More like had." "I'm glad to help, but tonight's not really..." " optimal." " I get it." "New dad, new family." "Your life has changed in so many ways." "Yeah, I see that now." "Trinity is going to kill again." "Soon." "Another woman." "Older than Lisa Bell this time." "Somewhere out there is a woman who is going to die... and she'll have no idea why." "Watch your step there." "How cute are you?" "Smell my puppy, don't you?" " What's his name?" " This is Checkers." " My mother was a lifelong Republican." " Well, no family's perfect." "Indeed." "What kind of pup you have?" "Just a mutt, but she's great with my children." "So you must live around here." "It's such a great neighborhood." "Everyone's so friendly." "Well, in the interest of friendly, let me help you with these." "It's really okay." "I'm just up there." "So I'll take one, you take the other." "Lighten the load, huh?" "I appreciate it." "My arms were falling off." "My dog won't get your puppy all riled up?" "Molly?" "God, no." "She's the calmest little thing in the world." " How long have you lived around here?" " Three years next month." "Surprised we've never run into each other till now." "I'm Allen, by the way." "Tarla." "This is me." " Thank you so much for your help." " Sure." "Great." "And bye to you too, Checkers." "Until next time." "Off you go Checkers, or whatever your name is." "Lundy thinks he can predict the future, but I'm more interested in the past." "My past." "I already cleaned this." "That I remember." "Now it makes sense." "Harry was reminding me the whole time." "I was reminding myself the whole time." "Hello, Benny." "Good-bye, Benny." "Got to admit... pretty clever." "Hiding Benny Gomez like that until I could come back and get him." "You turned to the code." "A core memory." "I taught you well." "Finding Gomez was a band-aid." "You're juggling family, work... and a dark passenger who's always got one hand on the steering wheel." "I can do it." "I can manage... all these moving parts." "Until you can't." "Then what?" "Night, dad." "Sleep." "Just one beautiful night's sleep will make everything better... again." "Fuck."

"I say we repaint." "Did you ever paint?" "No." "Doyle doesn't believe in improving someone else's property." " Men." " Yeah." "Men." "Well, we will repaint." "A new color scheme for a new era." "I'll eat to that." "This is gonna be great." "You and me in a freshly painted apartment." "No men." "Just lots and lots of Chinese food." "We are going to get huge." "That's okay." "We'll get a treadmill." "Yeah." "You always wanted a treadmill." "I did." "Doyle thought, why get a treadmill when you can walk outside?" "With all the murderers and rapists." "Exactly what I would say." " I'm glad you're back." " Me, too." "You know, Paris, I'm really sorry about the whole editorship thing." "It's okay." "I didn't lobby for the job." "I mean, I swear." "I had no idea." "Forget it." "I mean, who are we kidding?" "I am not cut out to deal with people." "I was made to be in a lab or an operating room or a bunker somewhere with a well-behaved monkey by my side." "I'm sorry, too, you know, for throwing you out." "Consider it even." "Did we actually order that pizza?" "I thought it was just discussed." "Who is it?" "It's Logan." "I don't want to talk to him." "I got it." "Well, if it isn't New Haven's favorite whore hound." " Is Rory here?" " Yes." " Can I talk to her?" " No." "But you can talk to me." "What do you wanna talk about?" "Life?" "Love?" "Common symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases?" "Rory?" "Rashes, sores, insanity." "Five minutes." "Please!" "You know, there's a few things I've always wanted to say to you, but out of respect for my friend Rory here, I've refrained." "However, the circumstances seem to have changed." "You don't know what you're talking about, Paris." " I know you cheated on Rory." " I did not cheat on Rory." "Are you going to deny it?" "Are you serious?" " We were apart." " Oh, please." "We were." "We weren't together." "And why the hell am I arguing with you?" "I don't want you back." "You, Logan Huntzberger, are nothing but a two-bit, spoiled, waste of a trust fund." "You offer nothing to women or the world in general." "If you were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, the only person that would miss you is your Porsche dealer." "You wanna chime in here?" "No." "I think Paris has got it covered." " Okay." "That's it." " Hey." "Rory, I just need 60 seconds." "Go away, Logan." "No one invited you in." "Get out right now before I go Bonaduce on your ass." "I'm not going away." "I'm not going anywhere." "We're gonna talk." "What the hell is this door doing unlocked?" "What are you doing here?" "I wanna talk to you." "I told you to go." "You did." "And I did." "I left and I went out and I got drunk and I thought about why I left and got drunk, and I realized that you are wrong." "I am not." "And what are you wearing?" "Don't change the subject." "Can we go in the other room?" "We're supposed to be together, Paris." "You know it, I know it, and your life coach knows it." "Terence has been wrong before." "When I wanted to get the pageboy haircut?" "Remember?" "Paris, listen to me." "I'm the best thing that ever happened to you." "Well, if that's true, then it's all uphill from here." "You know, I didn't have to come back here, begging you to talk to me." " I have options." " Right." "I do." "In fact, I almost hooked up with a really hot chick tonight." "I don't see how that's gonna help your case, Doyle." "At all." "You know what?" "Fine." "Let's take this out into the hall." " You could've hooked up with a hot chick?" " Yes." "In rhinestone buttons?" "Who was it, Sheila E?" "Two minutes." "Go." "Look, I understand that you're upset." "And I really wish you hadn't found out like that." "But, Rory, I love you." "You know that I love you." "When I said that I was your boyfriend, I agreed to be faithful to you, which, by the way, was a first for me." "And I thought it was gonna be hard." "But it wasn't." "Then I asked you to move in with me." "I asked you to move in with me, and I thought that was gonna be hard." "But it wasn't." "I have been completely faithful to you, Rory." "I have not been with another girl." "I have not looked at another girl." "I've not even thought about another girl." "Except for Walker, Alexandra..." " We were broken up, Rory." " No." "You were..." "I thought we were broken up." "I thought that's what the fight was." "I thought that's what the separation was." "Do you believe me?" "Do you believe that I honestly thought we weren't together?" "I guess." "So then if you believe that, that I thought we weren't together, then do you believe that in my mind I was not cheating on you?" "I guess." "So then, if you believe that in my mind I was not cheating on you, do you think you can forget what those vipers said today, put it behind you and just come home with me?" "Come on, Rory." "Just come home with me." "Let's forget this crappy day ever happened, just go home." "You wanna make a pro-con list?" "Do not mock my pro-con list." "I am not mocking your pro-con list." "I actually think the list would come out in my favor." "Well, I'd have to tell Paris I'm going." "Absolutely." "Tell Paris you're going." "Whoa." "Oh." " What?" " They made up." "Either that, or Krav Maga is way kinkier than I thought it was." "Well, you can tell her tomorrow." "After all, it is tomorrow." "Yeah." "Yeah, I can just call her from home." "We okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Sure." "We'll see." "Hey." "Okay." "Call you later." " Did you not hear me screaming?" " You were screaming?" "Yes, like Janet Leigh in Psycho." "I was on the phone." "Why were you screaming?" "There was a spider in the shower." "I trapped him under a soap dish." "I need you to go in and get him and take him outside." " Right." " Scoop him up gently." "You do not want to break one of his little legs." "Spiders are all about their legs." "I was shampooing, everything was fine, I looked up and there he was." " Holy mackerel." " Yeah." "He's a big boy." " Don't hurt him." " I won't." "I was talking to the spider." "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, he's got a posse." "You're kidding." "I am not kidding." "What are you gonna do?" "Well, there isn't a soap dish in town big enough for these guys." "But be careful." "I've just gotta trap them, then move them out of the shower and then sell the building." "So, that was April on the phone." " What?" " April called." "Seems her math team made it into some national contest." "Ah, well, good for her." "Yeah, it's pretty big." "They're all going to Philadelphia next week." "A bunch of the parents are supposed to chaperone." "Anna was gonna go, but now she can't, so April called me." " Oh." " Yeah." "It's weird, you know, 'cause usually it's me calling her to do things." "This is the first time that she's called me." "Well, good." "That's progress, right?" "I think so." "But you know I can't just take a week off from the diner." "Plus, you and I probably have all sorts of plans next week, right?" "Not that I know of." "Oh, wait, was next week the week we were gonna start our lives as outlaws?" "Well, I just assumed we had stuff to do next week." " No." "You should go." " You think?" "Yeah." "She asked you." "She called you." "And I know that traveling across country in a bus full of Little Man Tates has been a life-long dream of yours." " Well, okay." "I think I will go." " Good." "Yeah." "You know, I looked up the route last night." "Sounds like a great trip." "They'll be visiting Constitution Hall and stopping in Gettysburg." "Do you know I have never seen the Liberty Bell?" "Communist." "Okay, I'm gonna take these guys outside." "Any particular place you want them?" "Yeah, someplace shady, sheltered from the elements and ideally near a talking pig." "I asked." "I have no one to blame but myself." "There's still a glare, right?" "Huge glare." "I can't make out all the details of Castle Siege." "And those trolls, you gotta squint to see them." "The TV is fine, guys." "It's in exactly the same place it used to be." "Dude, wait till you hear how I soundproofed Lane's old room." "Pier 1 cushions wall-to-wall." "Perfect acoustics." "Band practice officially starts back up tomorrow." "Dude, you want this bottom drawer, too?" "Sure." "Sock drawer." "Nothing is gayer than a sock drawer." "Really?" "There's gotta be something gayer than a sock drawer." "Okay, before you guys get too deeply entrenched in the "what's gayer than a sock drawer" conversation, I'm gonna say goodbye." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " Bye, Brian." " Bye, Lane." "Thanks for the help." "Hey, make sure you behave yourself out there." "You're almost a married woman." "Hey, what happens when you guys get married?" "Well, we finally get to have sex." "Zach." "No, I mean, I just moved in here, but when you guys get married, do I move out again?" "We haven't really discussed that yet." "Yeah." "Well, we can move the band equipment back out here, and me and Lane'll take the room, and you can have the bunk beds all to yourself." "Cool." " Zach?" " Yeah?" "Don't you think we should get our own apartment when we get married?" "But this is a great apartment." "I know this is a great apartment." " I thought you liked Brian." " I do like Brian." "I just think maybe we'd want our own place." "Our own place?" "Okay." "Wow." "I tell you, this marriage thing, major." "Every day, something huge to think about." "Speaking of huge, you need to talk to my mom." "You haven't told Mrs. Kim yet?" "Don't worry." "I'm heading over there today." "You are?" "Are you ready?" "You have a clean shirt?" "You sewed up your pants?" "Everything's under control." "Hunter and gatherer and all that crap." " Go to work." " Okay." "Call me the minute you talk to her." "Okay." " You got yourself a good woman there." " Yep, I do." " You are officially moved back in." " Cool." " Hey, wasn't the TV facing the other way?" " Yes." "That's it." "It's good to have you home, man." "It's good to have you home." "Oh, yeah." "Hey, when you come over later tonight," "I have a cricket cornered under a paper cup in the living room." "I poked holes in the top so he could breathe, and then I taped it to the floor, 'cause he kept jumping out." "And I put books on top of the tape in case it wasn't sticky enough." "So don't move the books until you're ready for transport." " What are you doing?" " I'm sewing my duffel bag." " That's crazy." " That's crazy?" "Yeah." "That thing's like 100 years old." "Just throw it away." " The bag is fine." " That is not a bag." "That is a collection of molecules tethered together by dirt." "I'll get you your coffee in a minute." "Luke, come on, you're going on a major trip next week." " Spring for some real luggage." " I don't need any luggage." "I'll go shopping with you." "We could hit the mall later." "I don't wanna go shopping." "I don't wanna hit the mall." "I will fix this bag and it will be fine." "All right." "I'll go shopping alone." "I can pick something out for you." "I appreciate the offer, but I'm fine." "Oh, that's the third time he's stabbed himself this morning." "Maybe we should put him on suicide watch." "Couldn't hurt." "Yeah, hey, there's customers to talk to if you're lonely." "I can't believe you think shopping is more painful than this." "Oh, I'll be right back." "Rory." "I can't believe you're here." "Oh, I just thought I'd..." "Wow!" "These small towns are mighty friendly, aren't they?" " I have some really, really big news." " What?" "You've become a Shriner." " Bleeding stop yet?" " It's fine." "You sure you don't want me to call an ambulance or a Tumi store?" "Oh, my God!" " Rory's here." " She is?" "Yeah." "She's outside, bouncing around with Lane." " How come she came home?" " I don't know." "Bouncing lessons?" " Did you hear?" " Did I hear what?" "Show her, show her, show her." " You won the Super Bowl?" " I'm engaged." " No!" " Yes." "Let me see the ring again." "It's all Zach could afford right now, but I actually think it's kind of rock 'n' roll." "It's the rocking and the rollingest." "I'm so excited for you, Lane." "That's awesome." "Thanks." "I would've told you earlier, but I thought you knew." "Why would I know?" "Well, Luke was standing right there when it happened." " You knew?" " Yeah." "Luke, did you forget to tell me?" "No." "I just thought that Lane would wanna tell you herself." "You forgot to tell me." "Fine." "Sure." "I forgot to tell you." "So what?" "I remember being engaged to you, isn't that enough?" "Can I get some more coffee?" "I'll be right back." "Oh, I am so hungry." "Do you think Luke would be willing to make us s'mores today?" "Hey, for you?" "Anything." "So, nice surprise." "What?" "Lane?" "No, you." "Showing up." "I didn't expect it." "You being such a modern, busy woman and all." "Well, I can bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan." "So, any special occasion I should know about?" "No, I just thought I could use a good Stars Hollow fix for a couple days." " How crazy are things at the inn?" " Absolutely insane." "However, for you, I think I could play a little hooky." " What a role model." " Well, I try." "So, what's new?" "You okay?" "Yeah, why?" "Well, Logan, the moving out." "Oh." "Right." "About that." "Remember the new address?" " Yeah." " Cross it out." "I'm back at the old one." " What?" "Back at Logan's?" " Yeah." "How did this happen?" "He came over to Paris's last night, and we talked." "He explained everything." "So there's an explanation?" "Yeah." "And we're fine now." "You're fine." "But what about the bridesmaids?" "Misunderstanding." "Everything's good." "Here." "Start on these." "I'm making you some s'mores." "He's the most beautiful man in the world." "Yeah." "You should see him carry a spider outside." "A.K., it's a lacrosse piece." "It's fine." "Well, I'm sorry I can't give you more feedback, but until five minutes ago," "I didn't even know Yale had a lacrosse team." "So, when I criticize a piece, you think I hate it." "When I don't criticize a piece, you think I hate it." "Do you want me to hate you, A.K.?" "Because it's becoming a possibility." "Wonderful." "In that case," "I will continue to be a fan of you and your work." "Goodbye." "You're quite the busy bee." "Oh, yeah." "Well, writers can be temperamental." "I'm sure." "You like neon." "Sorry?" "I see you're making liberal use of my pink neon Post-it notes." "I'm sorry, Michel." "Would you like me to reimburse you for the seven pink neon Post-it notes that I have used?" "'Cause I'd be happy to if you can break a penny." "No, little Lorelai, it's not the cost that is the problem, it's the disruption." "Disruption?" " Of the system." " I see." " Do you?" " No." "The pink neon Post-it notes I use for guests who are checking in." "The green neon Post-it notes are for guests checking out." "And the watermelon Post-it notes are for guests who have altered or canceled their reservations." "As you can see, the pink neon stack is now woefully out of balance with the green neon stack, creating the illusion that more guests have been checking in than checking out, which, of course, is a physical impossibility" "unless we have begun murdering them." "Are you guys having a staring contest?" "'Cause I think, for it to be official, you have to be seated." "I was just filling your daughter in on the inner workings of the Dragonfly." "Oh, what did she do?" "I took some Post-its." "But the system!" "It will never happen again." "Michel, you have my deep and sincere apologies." "She was raised better than that." "Oh, well, actually I did it with the other hand." "I'm going on my break." "He seems good." "Yeah, it's the yoga." "So, you ready for the movie?" "Yeah." "Let me just get my stuff." "Hello." "Lorelai, it's your mother." "I'm calling you from the car." "Yeah, well, you're not calling to me from a car, so stop yelling." "But you're on speakerphone." "I stand by my earlier position." "Fine." "How far is it from Preston to New London?" "What's going on?" "Where are you?" "In Preston, apparently." "Though we're supposed to be at an estate sale in New London." "This bag of bolts." "And this GPS contraption your father insisted on buying is speaking German." "Well, New London's right near Stars Hollow." "And Preston's not." " I knew it." " Still yelling." "Richard, what are you doing?" "Why are you stopping?" "Because this contraption, as you call it, can only be used when the car is stopped." "So every time we want to ask the machine for directions, we have to pull over to the side of the road?" "It would appear so." "I thought the whole point of installing the machine was to avoid pulling over to the side of the road to ask directions." "If I told people, they wouldn't believe it." "What's going on?" "Apparently, there's a fight to the death between Richard and Emily and an evil German supercomputer." "Oh, I wanna hear." "I thought we paid $4,000 for a computer to give us directions, not to baby-sit us and make decisions for us about how to live our lives." "I mean, what's next?" "The radio won't turn on if it doesn't like the song?" "The engine won't start if the cup of coffee I'm holding is too hot?" "Maybe the car won't go in reverse if it doesn't like the smell of my perfume." "At the moment, Emily, I would be happy if I could just get the damn thing to stop barking at me in German." "Hi." "Remember me?" "Yeah, you called me, like, 45 minutes ago." "Yes, Lorelai." "I'm still here." "Right." "In Preston." "About 20 miles off course." "Twenty miles!" "I told you, Richard." "What you said, Emily, was to turn south when I wanted to turn north." "Next time, you guys should call before you head out." "You could have stopped by." "At the next light, turn right." "Ah." "There we are." "English, at last." "Well, we still could." "We were only planning on staying at the estate sale for a little while." "What?" "No, no, you guys have already gone way past Stars Hollow." "It's no problem." "We don't mind going a little out of our way, do we, Richard?" "No, certainly not." "When should she expect us?" "Oh, about 4:30." "Wait, wait." "I don't want you guys to have to make a special trip." "That really, really wouldn't make any sense." "That's crazy." "That's, like, asylum crazy." "Besides, Rory and I were just about to head out for a movie." " Rory's there?" " Damn." " Excuse me?" " Damn straight." "Wonderful!" "We'll see you both around 4:30." "Damn it." "What are you doing here?" "Lane is not here right now." "And anyway, there are laws against stalking." "You go to jail." "No, I'm not stalking." "I'm just looking for a doorknob." "$75." "Wow." "Could you throw in a door?" "Cash or credit?" "Actually, could I talk to you first?" "About what?" "I wanna marry Lane." "I see." "I know Lane's your only daughter, and I know how important she is to you, but I really love her." "I mean, really love her." "She's smart and hot." "Well, not hot." "I don't mean hot, like, in a slutty way." "She's beautiful and cool and an awesome drummer." "Now, I know you may have questions, and I totally get that, so I brought some stuff to answer them." "First thing, I'm a good worker." "That's a letter of recommendation from my manager at Quest Copying." "Notice the part where he wrote, "Zach's a good worker."" "Now, I didn't tell him to say that, and he doesn't even really dig me that much personally, so you know he means it." "I'm also in line for a promotion." "Assistant Manager, which comes with medical benefits, so I can buy cheap medicine and get my teeth cleaned and stuff." "That's my latest bank statement." "It's not a lot, I know, but it grows a little every month." "Well, except for maybe this month." "The doorknob's gonna set me back a bit." "I thought you were a musician." "Well, yeah, I am." "And that is your true calling?" "Yes, but that doesn't mean I'm into drugs or looking to do the whole Baby Shambles thing." " I just like to play." " You have a demo?" "Sure." "But, I swear, the music never interferes with my day job." "You can call my manager." " Bring it to me." " What?" "I need to know whether you can provide for Lane." "But I can." "I showed you I can." "As a musician." "This is what you want to do with your life, yes?" "Yeah." "Then you will bring me your demo." "But what are you going to do?" "Review it?" "Because rock, it's very subjective." " I will evaluate it." " Evaluate it." "And you haven't mentioned anything about marriage to Lane yet, right?" "Oh, no." "I came to you first." "Good." "Don't tell her." "No need to get her hopes up in case this doesn't work out." "You don't think it's gonna work out?" "We take one step at a time." " Do you still want the doorknob?" " Not really." "Are you sure this whole thing isn't just an elaborate scheme to get me to help you clean your house?" "Just throw away or hide anything that might be incriminating." "Incriminating?" "Yes." "Anything that can, could or might lead to a conversation about anything." " How about this?" " Are you kidding me?" "A freckled, half-naked Lindsay Lohan on the cover of Vanity Fair?" "Skin cancer, drug abuse, anorexia, bra shopping." "Just dump it." " You're hiding your flowers?" " Yes." "'Cause when people see flowers, they feel happy and welcome." "It's important that my parents have as few positive associations about being here as possible." "Well, we could hit them over the head with mallets when they walk in the door." "No, but I do have this incredibly bad-smelling perfume that Luke gave me for Christmas last year that I could spray around the house." "It's like a cross between Love's Baby Soft and Curious by Britney Spears, with just a hint of Lysol thrown in." "Delightful." "Well, God bless him." "He tries." " Food." " No, I'm Lorelai." " Heavy." " That's just mean." " Falling." " Right." "Follow me." "You are a lifesaver, Sookie." "I try." "Okay, we've got mac 'n' cheese." "We've got taquitos." "We've got little bitty hotdogs." " Wait, Sookie, what is all this stuff?" " What?" "I made your favorites." "But my parents aren't gonna eat any of this." "Your parents?" "I thought this was for you." "You thought I wanted to sit by myself and eat an entire buffet of the world's most fattening food?" "I don't know." "I figured it was just one of your cravings or maybe just a fun way to announce that you're pregnant." "What?" "Well, you were saying something about being a sudden parent or expecting or being due soon." "It's impossible to hear anything over that damn Cuisinart and all those gossiping busboys." "So you're not pregnant?" "No." "I'm just expecting my parents over any minute." "Oh." "Yeah, that makes sense, too." "That's okay." "We'll make do." " I'm not pregnant." " Okay, okay." " Now, the food." " Right." "Okay." "The mini hotdogs can be bratwurst." "The mac 'n' cheese can be pasta à la Sookie." "And presto, the taquitos are blinis." "And the chili fries?" " Are chili fries." " Right." " Hey, Sookie." " Hi, Rory." "Blini?" "Yes, please." "So I cleared out all the magazines, newspapers and most of the books." "And I hid away all the throw pillows and blankets, and I lowered the heat to 55 to ensure minimal post-meal lingering." "Yale-educated." "I'll go do one final walk-through." "Last chance before I stash them." "I'm not." "Okay, okay." "Grandma and Grandpa's Jag is here." "What?" "I didn't hear them drive up." "Did you hear them drive up?" " No." " Well, where the hell are they?" "I don't know." "Maybe they've been taken." "Don't tease me." "Go." "I'll finish setting up." " The engine's cold." " Maybe they have been taken." "Hello, Lorelai." "Rory." " Hi, Grandma." " When did you get here?" "Oh, just a few minutes ago." "You didn't tell me you were painting." "I know." "It's part of the remodel." " And is that the final color?" " Yup." "Must be so nice not having to worry about a homeowner's association." "There's a boat here." " Dad?" " Lorelai." "Rory." "Hi, Grandpa." "When did you get a boat, Lorelai?" "Richard, I've seen that boat." "It's Luke's." "Well, it doesn't look very seaworthy." "It's a work in progress." "It was his father's." "Luke keeps his dead father's boat locked away in your garage?" " Mother." " What?" "I'm just saying, isn't that kind of morbid?" "It's not like he's using it to hold his bones." "You guys must be hungry." "Let's head inside." "Well, well, I had no idea you'd had so much work done." "No, it's nothing extensive." "A nip here." "A tuck there." "This room's been completely redone." "A nip, nip, nip, tuck, tuck, tuck." "Apparently, you haven't installed the heat yet." " What's this?" " That's Paul Anka." " You have a dog?" " I just got him." " When?" " Yesterday." "Oh, fast learner, that one." "You should open an obedience school." "You'd make a fortune." "Oh, Mom, Dad." "You remember Sookie." "Of course." "Hello, Sookie." "Will you be joining us for dinner?" "Oh, no, I'm just helping out." "The wainscoting here is substandard." "If you'd called me, I could have recommended a real professional." "Well, since mine was a fake professional, I got to pay him in Monopoly money." "Is that veneer?" "Tell me that's not veneer." "So, Sookie?" "Tapas in the kitchen?" "Right this way." "You're still eating in the kitchen?" "Yes." "We always eat in the kitchen." "That's where the food is." "Grandpa, could I offer you something to drink?" "I suppose it's not too early for a Scotch." "And what about you, Grandma?" "Grandma?" "Up here." "Richard, come have a look." " Where are you?" " In the bedroom." "Three minutes gone, they're already in my bedroom." "Impressive, by the way, with all those throw pillows, blankets, magazines and books." " Piled up on the bed?" " Bathtub." "That's gonna take some explaining." "Hey, Mrs. Kim." "Still on the first song, huh?" "No." "I've listened the whole thing, many times." " Yeah?" "And?" " Nothing catchy." "Nothing?" "Out of all those songs?" "There are good bits here and there, and Lane can really pound the skins, but you need a hit." "A hit?" "But tons of great bands don't have hits." "I don't care about other bands." "I care about your band." "Lane's band." " Don't you care about your band?" " I care a buttload." " Then write a hit." " Okay." "Not a problem." "I mean, McCartney hasn't written a hit in 20 years, but I'll just sit down and crank one out." "You will if you want to marry Lane." " That's just not how it works." " I'll tell you how it works." "You write a hit, you get a record contract." "You write a hit, you get representation." "You write a hit, you become husband." "Can you do it?" "Can you write a hit?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "I can try." "Don't try." "Do." "Three-and-a-half minutes, tops." "And radio-friendly." "This pasta à la Sookie is very good, Lorelai." "It's a big hit around the inn." "There's something very familiar about it." "I can't quite place it." "It's similar to the pasta à la fromage at Delatoire's." "Yes." "Delatoire sounds like my kind of guy." "What's that noise that keeps happening?" "That's my cell phone, Grandma." "I'll turn it off." "Or you can just take it in the other room, if you want." "Nope." "It's off." "Pass the blinis." "So, Lorelai." "A new dog." "A new bedroom." "A new bathroom." "It's like a whole new house." " Except that it's the same house." " It doesn't look the same." "It's lucky we had your address." "We would've driven right by." "Well, I was waiting until it was all done to show you." "All done?" "There's more that you're doing?" "Oh, yeah." "The mailbox is crooked, and I was gonna plant a bush in the yard." "Forgive me, I had no idea such a stunning makeover was ahead of me." "I feel terribly involved." "Mom, come on." "You were gonna be invited over." "I just wanted to make sure everything was done and ready and that I could have you over when I could spend the maximum amount of time showing you around." "My parents are here." "I was hoping to have a nice little catered affair, you know, with guys in black coats carrying trays." "'Cause I know how much you love guys in black coats carrying trays." "Who was at the door?" "Oh, it was Ed McMahon." "He's always showing up with these big cardboard checks." "They are impossible to endorse, by the way." "I am never not sorry that I ask these questions." "So, I'm guessing all this means that you and Luke will be staying." " Staying?" " In Stars Hollow." "Mom, I've lived in Stars Hollow for 21 years." "You can live somewhere your entire life and never truly feel at home, Lorelai." "Well, I do." "I feel at home here." "Mostly 'cause it is my home and has been for 21 years." "Yes, well..." "This house does have a certain charm." "It feels very homey." "I can see you and Luke here." "Wow." "Thank you, Mom." "How about I make some coffee?" "Thank you, Rory, but we'll have to take a rain check." "Look at the time, Emily." "Goodness." "I had no idea it was so late." "Yes." "Who knew that three hours and 14 minutes could go by so fast?" "Well, I certainly didn't." " Drive safe!" " Bye-bye now!" "Your parents are exhausting." "Not as exhausting as your grandparents." "That was Luke at the door, wasn't it?" "Yeah." "Okay, second wind." "Now, the early-bird dinner made immediate eating unnecessary, so I say we go straight to the movie and pick up a pizza on the way home." "Perfect." "Or perhaps we could get pizza on the way there and sneak it in, just in case." "You in the market for some luggage?" "What?" "Oh." "That's for Luke." "He's going on a trip and his stupid duffel bag is in shreds." "What trip?" "He is going to chaperone April's field trip to Philadelphia." "Really?" "Yeah." "He's really excited about it." "That excitement might end when he gets there and discovers that his underwear fell out somewhere around Amish country." "The Amish, however, will be psyched." "All right." "What do we want?" "A comedy, a tragedy or a tragedy that makes us laugh?" "Have you met her yet?" " Met who?" " April." "Not officially." "What about her mom?" "What do you know about her?" "Not much." "Apparently, she's incredibly beautiful, she grew up here, she owns a store in Woodbridge, and Miss Patty thinks she was Mata Hari in a former life." " What kind of store?" " I don't know." "Hey." "I have an idea, a really good idea." "Oh." "You have evil face." "No." "We should go to Woodbridge and go to her store." "What?" "Yeah." "She won't know who we are." "We could just go in there and see what she looks like." " No." " Why not?" "Because I'm not spying on Luke's old girlfriends." "You mean, the mother of your fiancé's daughter." "Whatever." "It's weird and creepy." "You're telling me you're not at all curious about the other woman?" "She's not the other woman." "She's another woman." "Come on, where's your adventurous spirit?" "Hey, this is Luke's thing, okay?" "He wants me to keep out of it for now, so I'm staying out of it." "For now." "Come on, troublemaker." "Put that evil mind to better use here." "Fine." "Last half of Nanny McPhee, first half of Final Destination 3." "Brilliant." "Now that is what a mind is for, my friend." "I'm sorry, but after you almost get killed on a plane and on the freeway, why would you choose to go on a crazy, terrifying roller coaster?" "Oh, boy." "I mean, at that point, just stay home, right?" "Because it's a horror movie." "Yes, but it doesn't make sense." "It's not supposed to make sense." "It's supposed to make you sick." "Fine." "Whatever." "I'm heading over to the inn." "Do you wanna come over and hang?" "No." "I gotta run some errands." "I'll meet you there later." "All right, but watch out that a streetlight doesn't accidentally break off, swing down and decapitate you." "Will do." "I mean why even bother calling it Final Destination 3?" "At that point, just call it Now You're Really, Really, Really Dead." "Hello, Hollywood?" "Boy, have I got a pitch for you." "T-shirt or top?" " What do you need most?" " Both." "Then go for broke." "Not literally, of course." "We like our customers solvent." "It keeps them coming back." ""Your boyfriend wants me"?" "What can I say?" "It's our biggest seller." "Okay." "I guess I'll try these on." "Dressing room's right through there, sweetie." "Call if you need sizes." "1960's Pan Am stewardess bag." "Oh." "Really?" "A stewardess bag, huh?" "Yeah, I have the stewardess that goes with it, too." "But it'll cost you." "Well, it's really cute." "All your stuff is really cute." "Thank you." "I try to stock mostly one-of-a-kind things." "I'm really into the whole "this is mine, you can't have it" scene." "Must be only-child syndrome." "Ah, yes." "I know it well." " Okay." "Well, take your time." " Okay." "Everything in that corner of the store smells like vanilla." "Freaky and unplanned." " No." " What?" " No." " But..." "Trust me." "At this moment, I am your best friend in the world." " Should I just look in the..." " No." " Okay, well..." " Not that either." "Look, Mrs. Kingston, Kirk will not rest until you are satisfied." "Your demands are Kirk's demands." "Your needs are Kirk's needs." "Kirk is here for you." "Kirk?" "Kirk appreciates that, Mrs. Kingston." "We'll talk soon." " What are you doing here?" " Trying to bag a whale." "Kirk's in the real estate game now." " Stop doing that." " What?" "Referring to yourself as Kirk." "But that's Kirk's thing." "Every realtor needs a thing." "This is Kirk's thing." " You're a realtor?" " Trainee, technically." "Well, take your training somewhere else, okay?" "You're scaring away all my customers." "And my staff." "Unfortunately, there is nowhere else." "Trainees don't get offices." "Or salaries." "Or jackets, actually." "I'm supposed to be having this dry-cleaned for one of the senior brokers." "Smells a little funky, but fits like a dream." "You've got Kirk." "Yes, Mrs. Zellner." "Right, the Dragonfly Inn." "See you this afternoon." "Wait, you're meeting clients here?" " Only a few." " No." "I promise I'll be out of your hair as soon as I make my bones." "I just need a temporary place to conduct my business and potentially have sex with prospective clients." " What?" " That's Kirk's other thing." "The young, virile, eye-candy angle for lonely widows and aging divorcées." "Works like a charm." "I plan on running it by Lulu, of course." "Kirk, get out of here." "Take your jacket and your dippy Star Trek device and your creepy new career and scram." "Fine." "But I would've expected a little more cooperation from you, considering what I'm doing for your parents." "What are you doing for my parents?" "Shoot." "I should not have said that." " Said what?" " Nothing." "I can neither confirm nor deny that your parents are looking for a place in Stars Hollow." "My parents are looking for a place in Stars Hollow?" "I can't say." "The realtor trainee-client privilege is sacrosanct." "The manual's very clear on that." "How long have they been looking?" "I've already said too much." "It isn't even my account." " The entire firm is working on it." " How long, Kirk?" "All I know is they're looking, they're pricing." "They've seen three gracious single-family Tudors this week, and they have a 2:00 p.m. showing tomorrow at 546 Oak Ridge Lane." "But I cannot and will not violate their confidence." "This cannot be happening." "Kirk here." "Well, hello, Ms. Wyatt." "Lovely to hear your voice." "Have I got a duplex for you." "I am getting three hot dogs tonight, and I'll tell you why." "I have Bugsy Malone running through my head, especially the scene where Scott Baio buys Florrie Dugger a hot dog, and he offers her mustard with onions or ketchup without." "So I started thinking, what would I like?" "Mustard with onions or ketchup without?" "And then suddenly, they both started to sound really good." "But I usually get my hot dogs with ketchup and relish, and you don't just walk out on something that has served you so well for so long, so three hot dogs it is." "So what do you think happened to Florrie Dugger, anyway?" "She moved to Stars Hollow, and her mother harped on her hairstyle so much she jumped off a bridge." " What?" " The Gilmores are moving in." "What are you talking about?" "Kirk was in here today." "Nothing good starts with "Kirk was in here today."" "And he's trying to be a realtor, and he told me that he's been taking my parents around to look at houses." " Around here?" " Yes." " But why?" " Why?" "Because Luke and I are getting married, and I guess they figure we'll be having kids, and they wanna be near me when that happens." "Really near." "Like, in the room wearing Bill Blass scrubs." " Oh, boy." " I don't know what to do." "I moved 30 miles away from my parents for a reason." "Those 30 miles act as a buffer, so that when my mother says something that makes me want to kill her," "I have to drive 30 miles to do it." "Ten miles in, I usually calm down or I get hungry or I pass a mall." "Something prevents me from actually killing her." "That buffer is my mother's best friend." "Take the buffer away, and you got Nancy Grace camping out at Miss Patty's lawn for a month." "Okay, you need to get a grip." "Maybe Kirk is wrong." "Maybe." "Well, don't think about it." "Here, let me distract you with a present." " For me?" " For you." "Well, the world stops for a present." "Oh, it's so cute." "I love it." "Good." "You wanna know where I got it?" " Where'd you get it?" " At Anna Nardini's store." "What?" "It was great." "I just strolled right in, looked very casual." "I didn't have to pretend like I needed help or anything." "She just came right up to me and..." "I told you." "I didn't wanna go there." "Well, you didn't." "I did." "Yeah, but I didn't want you to go there, either." "What's the big deal?" "She didn't know who I was." "The big deal is Luke asked me to stay out of this." "He told me that he would deal with it." "But you're his fiancée." "Yeah." "And you should be able to trust your fiancée." "Oh, right, the way he trusted you when he found out about April?" " Hey." " Okay." "I'm sorry." "I just think it's crazy that you don't wanna know anything about this woman." "Rory, this conversation is over." " So, you're not at all curious about her?" " No." "So you don't wanna know what she looks like?" "No." "I'm sorry, you seriously don't care whether she's pretty or not?" "No." "So you have no interest in the fact that she has good taste in clothes or music..." " Rory, stop." "Drop it." "I mean it." " Fine." "I guess you don't want the purse, then." "So?" "Close." "Last part needs work." "Well, I don't know what else to do." "What you do is try again." "I've been working on this song for 20 hours." "My fingers are cramping." "I'm totally fried." "Run in place for a minute." "Gets the blood moving." "Forget it." "This is hopeless." " What?" " I can't write a hit, okay?" "Not with that attitude you can't." "Now, pick up your guitar." "Let me hear the last line of the chorus again." " It stinks." " Great." "Try going out on a minor chord." "A minor chord?" "Like this one?" "Different minor chord." "Not quite." "How's this one?" " Better." " Yeah." "That is better." "Very Ray Davies." "I was thinking Dave Clark Five." "Now try it again." "The whole chorus." " Whoa." " Now that is a hit song." "It is." "We wrote a hit song." "Mrs. Kim, we wrote a hit song!" "Excellent." "Now we go inside." "You know, I try to write with Brian all the time, but it doesn't work out." "'Cause he gives in way too easy." "You know, he just doesn't push me." "I gotta couple more songs I'd love for you to listen to." " Maybe I can bring them by later?" " Lane." "Come down here now." "Zach has something important to say to you." "Yes, Zach?" " Your mom and I just wrote a hit song." " What?" "It was incredible." "We were in the garage, it was awesome." " It goes out on a minor chord..." " Zach." "Yeah?" "Don't you have something else to say to Lane?" "Maybe something to ask her?" "Oh." "Right." "Sorry." "Lane." "Lane, will you marry me?" "Yes, Zach, I will." "Hold on." "This ring belonged to my grandmother." "Now it belongs to you." "Thanks, Mama." "That one you keep in drawer, so it doesn't scare the children." "All right." "You two are now officially engaged." "There is much for you to discuss, so I will leave you two alone." "You have 15 minutes." " I can't believe it." "We did it." " I know." "We're getting married." "Now, tell me about this song." "Lane, you are not gonna believe it." "Think early Kinks meets The Jam meets The Futureheads." "Here, I'll play it." "Okay, but see, I'm sorry." "They did not even come up with a villain." "No Freddy, no Jason." "The villain is death?" "How lame is that?" "Who is seeing this movie?" "Apparently, we are." "Many, many times." "But how can they make money off of that?" "I mean, where's the Halloween mask?" "Where's the costume?" "How can they keep making the same stupid movie over and over and over?" "Ah, Caesar." "Thank God." "We desperately need something to put in her mouth." "Hi." "Two cheeseburgers and a copy of Syd Field's book, please." "We are missing the boat." "Where's Luke?" "He just ran upstairs." "He's got this new policy of not yelling at the vendors in front of customers." " So, what should we do after dinner?" " So." "Do you wanna rent Final Destination 1 and 2?" "So many things wrong with you." " Here." "Freshly made." " Excellent." "Hey, what kind of doughnuts do you have left over?" "I think we have chocolate, one jelly and a crumb." " Jelly, please." " Okay." " Hey, fancy new bag you got there." " Huh?" "Oh, that's Luke's." "I think he just got it today." "I'll go check on your burgers." "So, I finally wore him down, huh?" "What?" "Well, I don't know if you wanna know this, but I saw that bag earlier at Anna's store." " That bag?" " Yeah." "How do you know it was the same exact bag?" "There must be millions of places who sell it." "I guess." "I mean, Anna did say that she likes to stock one-of-a-kind things." "It's possible." "Excuse me." "I ordered Swiss, Monty." "Swiss has holes." "It's a terrific way to identify it." "Okay." "Yeah, Thursday's good, but tomorrow would be even better." "Okay, let me put it to you like this." "If it comes on Thursday, it's half price, right?" "All right, we'll see you tomorrow." "Hey." "Am I interrupting?" "No." "I was just straightening something out." "How was the movie?" "Do not get me started." "Rory's downstairs." " Great." "I'll be right down." " Cool." "That's cool." " You okay?" " What?" "Sure." "Great." " So, I see papa's got a brand new bag." " Huh?" "I saw your snazzy new luggage downstairs." "Oh." "Right." "Anna sent that over." "Oh, wow." "Coinkydink, huh?" "Well, we were talking about April's trip itinerary, and I guess I mentioned that my duffel bag's falling apart, and next thing I know, she sent the thing over." " That's nice." " Sure." "It's fine." "You know, I was serious when I said I would go out and buy you new luggage." "I'm nothing if not a gifted shopper." "Oh, I know that." "But it's here, so..." "Yeah." "It's here." " So this doesn't bother you, does it?" " What?" "That Anna sent me the bag?" "Because I can send it back." " Oh, no, no." "It's cool." " You sure?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "So, I should get back down." " Okay." "I'll be by in a minute." " Cool." " Well?" " Well, what?" " Is the bag from Anna?" " Yes, it is." " It is." " It is." "He mentioned his duffel bag was shot, and she sent a bag over." "He didn't ask for it." "He explained the whole thing to me." "We discussed it, and we're fine." " You're fine?" " Yep, I'm fine." "Where the hell you been?" "Oh, I went to Stars Hollow to visit my mom for a couple days." " You went to Stars Hollow?" " Yep." "Well, you could've told me, Ace." "Left a note, called, something." "Yeah, I know." "I should've." "I mean, I wake up and you're gone." "I didn't mean to freak you out." "I kept calling your cell." "I must've called it 100 times." "Oh, yeah." "Well, my cell died, and my charger was here, of course." "I have to buy an extra one." "You keep telling me that." "Finally, I checked in with the paper." "They told me you've been e-mailing stuff, so at least I knew you were alive." "I'm so sorry." "It just became this whole thing." "My grandparents stopped by unexpectedly, which took forever, and anyhow, it's a long story." "But I promise it'll never happen again." "I have to take a shower." " Rory." " Yeah?" " You sure everything's okay?" " Yeah." "It's fine."

"I was just trying to help her." "I was just trying to help her." "Thanks for covering, Priya." "Oh, I sold a necklace for you." "A talkative young man brought one for his fiance." "No kidding." "I should have you sell my junk for me all day." "Ah, your jewelery sells itself." "Oh, the Aussie princess can't hurt." "Hey, do they have royalty in Australia?" "Uh, we have a queen, yes, but it's the same one they have in England." "Fickle bitch." "Oh, speaking of princes He's back." "Not my type." "Why not?" "You're certainly his." "So, uh," "What are you doing with all these pieces anyway?" "Not using them for firewood, I hope." "I'm a collector, and you're the real deal." "You shouldn't be selling on Venice Beach with all this novelty crap." "Well, I need cash, and I don't have a work visa." "So..." "Would you ever be interested in, uh, making something for me?" "Something very large?" "Like an elephant?" "No." "Well, like a painting, a big painting that would cost a lot more money." "Oh..." "You're loaded, too." "I'm, uh," "I'm overpaid." "Well, did you have something specific you would want?" "Yes." "You." "To do your thing." "You know, maybe I could even arrange a show." "All right, so..." "here." "Let me know." "Ooh..." "See, you hit the jackpot, girl." "And Nolan commissioned this?" "Because I don't think I have reason to live if I can't have one of your paintings for myself." "Wow, you must have a really boring life." "Oh, you're funny." "She's funny, too, Anton." "There she is" "The woman of the hour." "Man, Nolan wasn't kidding." "About what?" "Well, he said the art was almost as beautiful as the artist." "Yeah, Nolan likes to say things like that." "I'm not as good as these people tell me." "How good you are is history's business." "You're doing what you love and these folks want to pay you for it." "These aren't really my kind of folks." "I plan to be moving on." "Well, a few showings like this and you can move on..." "and on, anywhere you want." "You should stick with Nolan." "He finds an artist, they thrive." "This is an elaborate, expensive seduction," "Nolan." "I mean, uh, it's the least Rossum can do after all of your work with us," "But couldn't you just buy her a necklace or a boat or something?" "I tried all that, but she's an artist." "A free spirit, harding." " She can't be bought." " Ah." "But she can be lured." "We'll see." "Just..." "Why don't you let us build the woman you want" "The perfect woman?" "We have all types available." "I don't want a doll, Harding." "I want her." "He's crazy about your work." "It's not all about the work." "No, sweetie, it's about the power." "There's a ton of money in this room, but that's not power." "Nolan's a medical genius, short-listed for the Nobel." "That's power." "Art is power" "Because they can't make it." "So what if you make Nolan all cute and nervous?" "Why not ride that a little?" "Let them think they have the power." "Our time will come." "Sorry, darling." "Luca is chomping at the bit." "Priya, this is Luca Pallidio," "The finest art dealer in all of Italy." "Not true." "Buona sera." "Oh, hello." "I love the piece." "It's very organic, um, effortless." "You mind if I ask you many boring questions?" "Not at all." "Mr. Harding, always a pleasure." "Most people who are as rich and good-looking as Nolan" "Don't have good taste." "But your work reminds me of Bernard Patin." "Is he an influence?" "Uh, I'm embarrassed to say I don't know who that is." "Is that bad?" "Well, no, it's natural." "People kill for that-- to be unaffected." "Hmm." "Unlike everyone here." "So why the bird motif?" "I don't know." "I just think they're beautiful." "That's it." "Perhaps it is a reflection of you, no?" "Free, always moving, searching for something... better?" "I don't need better." "No, you move because..." "because there is wind." "Do you want to get out of here?" "I'd love to." "Okay." "We can talk some more about Nolan." "Sneaking out?" "I was just looking for you to say good-bye." "Why are you so eager to leave?" "I mean, everyone is here to adore you." "Enjoy the painting, Nolan." "Come on, come on." "Stay a little longer, Priya." "The painting is yours." "My job here is done." " I'm going now." " Why?" "So you can give it up to some guy you just met?" "He's not even real." "Hey..." " What?" " Would you like a treatment?" "You were supposed to help me." "Oh, you don't need my help." "You are like the bull-- strong, yet with the horns, fierce." " Wait..." " Ciao." "After my treatment, I find you." "Ciao, ciao." "Good-bye." "I've pulled out all the stops." "I mean, this is our big night." " We've, we've, we've..." " No," " This isn't our night." " ..." "We've planned for this." "There's no we." "No, look, I have" "I've offered you everything." "What else do you want?" "I want to walk out the damn door." "Hey." "What did you expect, huh?" "Day after day, just dangling it in front of my face, seducing me." "Seducing?" "You're crazy, Nolan." "It's all in your head." "Get off me!" "I'm sorry." "I'm not going to take no for an answer." "All right, I'll do anything." "Stop it!" "You disgust me." "Nothing in this world could ever make me love you." "Hmm..." "When can I see you again?" "I don't know." "Soon." "Wait, wait." "To remember you." "I love you." "I like your bird." "Thank you." "I don't like this color, though." "Why do you use it?" "It's always here." "Ah, it should work." "Well, it doesn't work." "It works in theory." "Alpha got it to work, through a phone nonetheless." "Are you comparing my intelligence to alpha's?" "Well..." "You're talking to yourself like he does." "That's a... very good point." "What's good?" "Mother ship!" "Oh..." "You got to stop doing that or I'll make you wear a bell." "Aw..." "You shouldn't have." "Sierra made it." "That's very thoughtful of you, but I don't think there's room on my fridge." "Aw." "Aah!" "You're like a ninja." "Sierra hates the bad man." "Who's the bad man?" "It's not like the others." "He makes her sad over and over." "Well, it's a..." "Fairly primitive rendition." "I'm not sure if this is a man, let alone which one." "Hmm." "You're not looking hard enough." "You never do." "What's the word on this repeat client" "Sierra has been seeing?" "Why?" "Something's bothering me about it." "I have a hunch something's wrong." "That's funny-- that I have a hunch?" "That it's bothering you." "Nolan Kennard." "Big-time Rossum VIP, MD, Ph.D. in molecular pharmacology." "Wrote his dissertation on neuroleptics." "Works a lot with sick kids." "You want me" "To make this profile available to you on the system?" "What about the engagements?" "You design them." "Tame." "Your typical romance or seduction scenarios." "Sierra's stress levels never go higher than a 1.3." "Always comes back with a clean bill of health." "I helped Sierra, you know." "She was a paranoid schizophrenic when she came here" "Psychotic-- and I helped her." "I didn't ask." "Is that where your hunch came from?" "Yeah." "It's Sierra's." "Echo brought it to me." "She was going on about a bad man." "He's the blotch here, is what I'm getting." "Echo brought it you." "She's always been mother hen about Sierra." "Should look into that." "I am!" "And so far, Echo's given me way more than you have." "I need a connection, a pattern." "Saunders." "Saunders?" "She's gone, Boyd." "You got to stop mooning." "Saunders didn't work engagements." "She looked after the actives here." "She would have seen." "Seen what?" "A pattern." ""Dark shape always present." "Must be something from her past?" Question mark." ""I can only conclude that," ""if the dark shapes don't symbolize Sierra's" ""state of mind before intake," ""they must represent an extreme sense of anxiety and rage associated with..."" "I'm not the bad man." "Sierra doesn't like this color." "You should take them all." "Is this wrong?" "No." "It's good." "You're taking charge." "You're taking matters into your own hands." "They're in my shirt." "What are you up to, girl?" "Huh." "Echo was right." "I wasn't looking hard enough." " What?" " Neuroleptics." "He's an expert." "You mean Kennard." "Neuroleptics are antipsychotics, right?" "Like haloperidol or good-old chlorpromazine." "Most of them block D2 receptors in the dopamine pathways of the brain." "I'll take your word for it." "Look, uh, this is a brain." "Normal, boring brain, like your brain." "This... is a brain on drugs." "Or more specifically, antipsychotic medication." "You see the inhibited mesolimbic pathway?" "Hmm?" "The partially blocked serotonin receptors?" "And this is Priya's original scan." "It's similar, right?" "But why the five-HT efflux in the striatum?" "And looking closer..." "Increased conduction of chloride ions." "They're at odds." "You lost me at brain." "Priya wasn't psychotic despite her heavy medication." "She was psychotic because of it." "And..." "That's not all." "When Saunders conducted that wish fulfillment exercise a few months back, you said that Sierra went to the mental health clinic to confront the doctor who diagnosed her?" "Dr. Makido." "Wrong." "Sierra went to confront Nolan." "Nolan Kennard owns that clinic." "He owns the whole complex, and he has a penthouse office there." "Sierra went to see him." "How did this get by Dewitt?" "We got to tell her." "She's gonna flip her biscuits." "Unless..." "You don't think she already knows?" "She does now." "Thank you so much for coming in, Dr. Kennard." "Oh, no, I'd-I'd been meaning to schedule another appointment anyway." "Yeah, it seems the, uh..." "the moment you take her away," "I'm ready to have her back." "No doubt." "And no doubt that's why you've asked me here" "To, uh, caution me yet again about your policy on repeat engagements, right?" "In a way." "You know I'm not interested in any of your other actives?" "Oh, that's a non-issue." "I would no sooner allow you near one of our other actives than I would a mad dog near a child." "I beg your pardon?" "Given that you're a raping scumbag one tick shy of a murderer." "I can't recall." "Do you take sugar?" "All right." "Um..." "What the hell's going on here, Adelle?" "Oh, there's nothing going on." "In fact, it's finished." "We will no longer be providing you with our services." "You have made me an accomplice in something vile, Dr. Kennard." "And it ends now." "Does it?" " Yes, it does." " What are you gonna do, Adelle?" "Go to the police?" "Not really in a position to do that, are you?" "I am," "However, in a position to see to it that you never lay a hand on that woman ever again, and that is exactly what I intend to do." "You know what?" "I think you're right about this, uh, repeat engagement thing." "It's not a good idea, so let's, uh," "Stop dancing around your policy, all right?" "You're going to imprint her, and you're going to send her to me." " Forever." " Excuse me?" "You do it by the end of business today," "I'll see to it you keep your job." "Thanks for the tea." "I can't believe what you're asking me to do!" "The girl was a basket case, Adelle-- hearing voices, drooling in her soup-- you saw yourself." " Because he made her that way." " Adelle," "We're being asked to place this young woman into a life of wealth and privilege," "Married to a man she adores." "Do you really want to go to Rossum with this?" "And accuse one of their most valued assets of being a kidnapper and rapist?" "That is what he is." "And if we do this, what does it make us?" "What are we already?" "We are not slave merchants." "Mr. Harding, I won't do this." "However she got here, she's here." "In my house, and therefore, in my care." "Yes, and you would never let anyone take advantage of any of your charges, would you, hmm," "Miss Lonely Hearts?" "Whatever indiscretions I may be guilty of..." "Oh, forget Victor." "We don't care." "Everyone likes to take a little something home from the office once in a while." "But he's the least of your indiscretions." "I think we both know that." "If feeling that you're somehow decent and moral helps you get through your day, that's your business." "This house, however, is our business." "And you will run it the way we tell you to, or we'll find someone who will." "And I promise" "You wouldn't like the early retirement plan." "Imprint the girl, send her to him, close the account." "Victor." "What are you doing?" "Now you don't have to use this color anymore." "You look like an Indian chief." "I am an Indian chief." "Hurry, sergeant, orders!" "What do we do?" "!" "I don't want to take charge." "I don't want to take charge." "Come here." "You can't let them do this." "They're not going to do it." "We are." "And when I say we don't have a choice, know that I mean it." "Aren't we supposed to care for these people?" "Dr. Saunders would never have allowed..." "Which Saunders would that be?" "The avuncular physician so brutally cut down not five feet from where you were standing?" "Or the last woman to whom you gave a permanent imprint?" "The other wounded flower you restored by offering her a new life?" "Who apparently found you so unbearable, she had to flee the city." "Is it that one?" "How can you expect me to do this?" "You'll do it because you must." "The cold reality is that everyone here was chosen because their morals have been compromised in some way." "Everyone... except you." "You, Topher, were chosen because you have no morals." "You have always thought of people as playthings." "This is not a judgment." "You always take very good care of your toys." "But you're simply going to have to let this one go." "Sierra?" "It's time for your treatment." "All right." "Victor, would you like to come with me?" "I'd like to, yes." "No, no, no." "Victor can't come with you." "Why not?" "He just can't, okay?" "Okay, I'm sorry." "I'll wait for you right here." "So she can remember." "This is Boyd." "Topher is having problems following commands." "Please make sure he follows this one." "So I don't have to resort to drastic measures." "What's the order?" "The order is to keep a door to that place." "Topher, have you completed your report on Sierra's last engagement?" "Oh, you mean her last engagement ever?" " How about a verbal report?" " Hearn's an idiot." "Thanks for the treatment, Shaggy." "No problem," ""I can't remember your name today."" "I would like to report Hearn called me a nerd." "Is he a fourth grader?" "We may have found our replacement Sierra." "22-year-old female." "I think you might be interested in this one." "Let me guess, a little bit hot?" "Mental health case." "A paranoid schizophrenic." "Cool!" "Vivid auditory hallucinations, paranoid delusions." "She's all over the place, usually incoherent." "We've been working with a specialist in neuroleptics and he's in there right now." "He's been giving her daily treatments," "But none seem to take." "Poor thing." "I think, uh, she'll be sedate enough for evaluations." "Thanks again, Dr. Kennard." "Certainly." "This way." "Priya?" "Priya, this is Dr. Brink." "He's going to ask you a few questions." "No!" "No, no." "Stream of bodies, just more and more bodies." "More bodies, more and more bodies gushing through the river." "Just more and more bodies." "Priya, my name is Topher Brink." "No." "How could he get answers when every word in here is a lie?" "Every word is a lie!" "Everyone's a liar, he's a liar!" " He's a liar!" " I'm not a liar." "He's a liar; he's a liar." "He's a liar." "I'm not a liar." "Priya." "Don't call me that!" "They're dissolving me." "From the in, the inside out." "Do you know where you are?" "I'm in hell." "You're in Los Angeles." "I can understand the mix-up." "You are in a medical facility." "No, no!" "Would you like to leave this place?" "Yes." "Yes!" "Help me." "Help me, please." "Shh!" "There are men with guns and they took me here to fill me with poison." "They're filling me with poison to make me crazy." "It's not uncommon to believe that." "They're torturing me!" "They're torturing, they're torturing me." "I'm a prisoner, I'm a prisoner." "Not for long." "No!" "Let me go!" "No, I don't wanna go!" "* Sun rises slow *" "* Water rides the air *" "* Gathering in the clouds *" "* Forming raindrops or heavy snow *" "* We're drones, happy as we are *" "* Thinking our sustained lies are love *" "* The flow, tearing us apart *" "You're here to stay?" "I have you to myself?" "I'm all yours." "Is it done then?" "Yes." "Good." "If you say so." "If you have actually managed to develop some pangs of conscience, you may rest in the knowledge that in this matter, you..." "You had no choice." "No, I didn't." "Will it still be romantic if we build up an appetite first?" "Am I being too aggressive?" "Did you want me wide-eyed and demure?" "Or stupid?" "Did you want me to be a mute?" "Which is it, Nolan?" "Which fantasy did you want to keep forever?" "Priya?" "You just couldn't take no for an answer." "Are you looking for this?" "This a bookmark?" "It's a leaf." "It's pretty." "Is the book pretty?" "There aren't any pictures." "I can make out some of the words." "It's fun." "Exercising our brains makes us our best." "Echo," "when did you learn how to lie?" "Am I in trouble?" "Not from me." "But there are people who would be very upset if they knew what you were doing." "Reading?" "You brought the painting to Topher." "You're pushing." "The actives, the staff..." "What you're doing could have consequences you can't predict or control." "Some people are not ready to wake up." "I don't care." "Something bad is coming" "Like a storm" "And I want everyone to survive it." "They need to wake up." "Echo, you stir things up, you might bring the storm on yourself." "I'm not your lab rat anymore, Nolan." "I'm free, clear-headed, it feels good." "What, and you, uh, came to get revenge for a year of loving every minute of it?" "Did I love it?" "Must not have been very memorable." "I remember you poisoning me," "Locking me up, but I have not a single memory of the year where I apparently liked you." "Oh, we had some good times." "Mmm, I got filled in on all the details." "Brainwashing." "Talk about desperate." "You know, they even programmed me" "To think it was endearing how quick you were." "You were mine." "I'm sorry." "I don't think I was faithful to you." "Yeah, I let them whore you out to anyone." "No, it's something else." "It's someone, uh, someone I trust." " He helps me." " See?" "He thrills me!" "Yeah, I know, see, it worked." "You told me that you loved me a hundred times." "I changed you." "No, it's not you." "I managed to fall for someone else." "You think this is cute?" "It's absurd." "I don't remember meeting him or even spending a moment with him." "But I can feel it stronger than anything." "I'm crazy about him!" "I love him." "I love him so much more than I hate you." "Are you gonna fight fair this time?" "So much for fair, huh?" "You know..." "This is a scenario I never thought of." "You resisting." "The struggle is a turn on." "Priya?" "Priya?" "Priya." "Priya." "Priya." "Hey." "Priya." "Priya." "Priya." "We got to run." "We got to run." "We got to-- we got to get out of here." "We got to go." "Got to run before..." "How did you..." "I'm head of security." "I hear every call." "Priya." "I want you to wash your hands and go to Nolan's room." "Pack a suitcase of his clothes." "Pack for warm weather." "Topher." "In the van outside, you'll find containers of sulphuric acid, a plastic sheet, and a bag of tools." "What?" " What are you talking about?" " Consequences." "Come on, Topher." "Boyd." "I can't do it." "You're a doctor." "You know how to dissect a body." "That was in school." "And why do you?" "Slit the femoral arteries and pump the chest;" "draining the fluids makes it easier to cut up." "I was just trying to help her." "Now she's ruined." "You had a moral dilemma." "Your first." "And it didn't go well." "Priya does not belong in the Dollhouse." "She does now." "Now, I have to start the lies." "Hey, man, it's me." "Yeah, it's been a while." "Look, I'm going to need the goose." "Is he around?" "Yeah, I need someone..." "Disappeared." "It seems his permanent engagement plan involved leaving the country with Sierra." "Did any heat come down from up top?" "Not that I know of." "Anything at your end?" "Nothing here." "But he left without her." "In a hurry." "We found his car just south of the border, with some fake ident in the glove box." "So, Sierra's back in the house?" "Never even got to say good-bye." "How convenient." "Are you going to look into it further?" "I don't think any good would come of it." "I don't know what's real." "Yesterday, I had lost my mind, trapped in a nightmare." "Then..." "Then you bring me here, wake me up, and I'm sane again." "But you tell me it's been a year." "All the things I was made to do." "And I kill a man." "I..." "I woke up from a nightmare only to live in one." "You were supposed to help me." "I thought I was." "I was... fooled." "I'm so sorry." "If there was anything I could do to make it better..." "Do you have any beer?" "Am I allowed to have beer in here?" "Or is this my last one?" "No." "You're allowed." "On, uh, special occasions." "And are we happy here?" "I..." "You" "Most of you..." "I have no idea." "That's him." "What's his name?" "Victor." "I love him." "Is that real?" "Yes." "Yes, it's real." "He loves you back." "I wished Nolan dead, I did." "I thought about it all the time when I was locked up in that horrible place going crazy." "I..." "I never should've let you go there." "I should've just set you free." "I would've gone anyway." "I wanted to confront him." "I don't know what I thought would happen." "If you wake me up again, put me back to where I was a year ago." "Skip this day." "Ignore it or delete it or whatever." "I don't ever want this back, okay?" "Okay." "This secret we have..." "Can you keep it?" "I can keep it," "But I don't know if I can live with it." "I know I can't." "But I don't have to."

"Hello." "Richard, hey." "Hey." "You look different." "Did you just get a haircut?" "No, I just lost my brush." "Wait." "How do you know...?" "Oh, got to go." "My ex-wife's here." "Call you later." "What are you doing here?" "I'm picking up Ritchie." "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" "Oh, my God, we have got to find you that brush." "Today is my day to pick up Ritchie." "I thought it was my day." "No, you were yesterday." "I wasn't yesterday." " I wasn't yesterday." " I wasn't yesterday." "Wait a minute." "Did I even see Ritchie yesterday?" "What are you jackasses doing here?" "This is my week to pick up Ritchie." "No, it's not." "Come on!" "Why do I even bother calling everybody with the schedule if no one pays attention to it?" "Sometimes, when I hear it's you, I just delete." " That's why I call back." " It's still you." "You know, you could buy a new brush." "Hello, Christine... and oddly extended Campbell family." "So I see you brought the whole gang today." "Well, there was a little mix up." "Only one of us was supposed to come, but here we are." "Usually, we're much more organized than this." "Now what's going on with your hair?" "Hello." "Can I help you with something?" "I'm with them." "Hope my Range Rover's okay in the parking lot." "Look at us." "We can't even get it together to pick up one small child?" "We need a better system." "We could e-mail." "That would be better than all the phone messages." "You ramble." "So at the start of each week," "Christine will write one e-mail and CC the rest of us." "Stop." "I don't think my computer has that." "CC?" "It has it." " Matthew?" " I'll show you." "And we could also IM." "Stop." " Matthew?" " I'll show you." "Okay, fine." "Then I'll e-mail everyone a new list tonight." "I like this." "It's very organized." "Meeting adjourned." "The next time I drive all the way up here, somebody's paying me for gas." "It's a Range Rover, for crying out loud!" "Okay." "Check your computers, all right?" "No more mix-ups." "Roger that." "Ri..." " Ritchie?" " Hey, Mom." "Hi, sweetheart." "Go get your stuff together, okay?" "Okay." "Christine." "I didn't see you standing there." "I didn't see you either for not that long." "I'm just picking up Ritchie." "Yeah, he doesn't usually join us for after-school study." "Oh, well, I forgot to tell you." "I-I told Ritchie, though, that I was coming late, so he's fine." "I'm a good mom." "What happened?" "I didn't know you were going to be late." "Yes, you did." "I'm a good mom." "But I thought I saw your car driving away before." "No, you didn't, honey." "Lots of people drive Priuses now, you know, 'cause of global warming." "It's so scary." "It's not scary, it's different, hotter." "It's scary." "Okay, sweetheart, go get your lunchbox, okay?" "Go." "So how have you been?" "Good!" "Sorry, I'm having volume- modulation problems all day." "But I'm good." "I'm good, yeah." "We just figured out a whole new system with the e-mail so everybody knows where to go and when and hopefully nobody will forget to pick up, uh..." " Ritchie?" " Ritchie." "Ah, yikes!" " E-mail, that's a good idea." " Yeah." "My ex-wife just leaves rambling messages on my machine." "Rambling?" "Oh, that's got to be annoying." "Say what you've got to say and then stop." "Don't say the same thing five different ways." "Be succinct, pithy." "Be done with it." "Stop talking." "Be quiet." "Now I'm just talking to myself." "Actually, rambling's cute..." "on some people." "I should go!" "I-I should get going, so I'll see you." " I'll see you." " Okay." " Uh, Christine?" " Yeah?" " Ritchie?" " Ritchie?" " Ritchie." " Oh, Ritchie!" "Ritchie, Ritchie." "What are you doing?" "And if I'm going, you go with me." "Don't let me just walk off without you." "Maybe I could wear the leash again." "Honey, that was a bad experiment." "Christine!" "Christine!" "We were just noticing that you haven't bought your tickets to the Gala yet." "And why are you so red?" "Yeah, you're all flushed." "Oh, my God, she's having a heart attack." "Do you have health insurance?" "Of course not." "She's not married." "No, I'm fine." "I was just talking to Mr. Harris..." "Oh, that explains the heart attack." "Just tell me what you're selling so I can buy it and go home." "We're selling tickets to the Gala." " What gala?" " The Gala." "It's our biggest fundraiser of the year." "But didn't we just have a fundraiser a couple of weeks ago?" "That was to raise money for the Gala." "It's gonna be fun." "We're gonna have Night Under The Stars with great food and cocktails." " Hey, Mom, you like cockta..." " Great food, yes." "I like great food." "Why don't you go and work" " on your homework, sweetie, okay?" " Okay." "Mr. Harris will be there." "What?" "Who?" "What?" "Oh, she's getting flushed again." "I think someone's got a little crushy on Mr. Harris." "I do not!" "I told you..." "Oh, Christine, yeah." "Yeah, someone's got a little crushy on Mr. Harris." "I have a huge crushy on Mr. Harris." "Is that why your fly is open?" "For God's sakes!" "Uh, I know it's wrong and he's Ritchie's teacher." "I mean, nothing's going to happen, but I can't think of anything else." "Oh, can I have some of that?" "You don't even know what it is." "Since when do I care?" "Just give it." "Ooh, good soup." "I honestly don't know what to do." "Well, how about acting like an adult and controlling yourself?" "Whoa, hot, hot!" "I mean, just because you have a feeling, doesn't mean you have to act on it." "You could, uh, show a little restraint." "You know, be mindful." "Maybe you should just stay away from him altogether." "Do you think you can do that?" "Okay, now remember, nobody leave me alone with Mr. Harris tonight, okay?" "And Barb, I'm gonna need you to keep track of my drink count." "Okay, you had two at the house." "No, I didn't." "I only had one." "Okay, then one." "Barb, you're off the job." "I had two." "The first rule about counting my drinks is that you don't take my word for it because I lie." "Matthew, you're on drink duty." " Three." " Good job." "Now tickets." "What?" "Why do you have tickets?" "Because you sent me an e-mail saying, "Buy tickets."" "You also sent me one." "Me, too." "No, I sent myself an e-mail as a reminder." "Well, you CC'd the rest of us." "Yeah, I also got an e-mail about rescheduling your lip-waxing appointment." "Matthew, I don't get my lip waxed." "Well, they can squeeze you in Thursday at 4:00." "Oh, thank God." "Oh, crap, Mr. Harris is taking the tickets." "Wait." "That's Mr. Harris?" " Your Mr. Harris?" " Yeah." "You know you mentioned that he was handsome and tall." "I think you left something out." "What?" "That he's black?" "Please, come on." "You know me." "I don't see color, my God!" "People are just people to me, all right?" "Now come one." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Be cool!" "Christine, you made it." "You look beautiful." "Oh... thank you, Mr. Black." "Um, this is my, this is my handsome friend, Harris..." "Uh, Black!" "Uh, no, Barb, black Barb." "Black!" "I can't stop." "I can't stop." "Help me." "Oh, yeah, this is worth buying 12 extra tickets." "You know what?" "Maybe it wasn't so bad." "Maybe it was just one of those things that seems worse looking back on it, than it actually was at the time." "No, it was really bad." "You called him "Black,"" "you called me "Black"... and then you just went off..." ""Black, black, black."" "Okay, okay." "You had a black attack." "All right, okay?" "I was there." "It's enough." "I figured you could use this." "Here, drink up." "We'll call it four." "Ooh, chocolate fountain." "I'm gonna go over there before it starts to taste like fingers." "Welcome, Westbridge parents to a Night Under The Stars Gala." "Tonight is our most important fundraiser, because it kicks off our season of fundraisers." "Barb, you don't want to wait until after you eat your dinner before you eat all that?" "I got dinner." "One of these things is a chicken leg." "And later tonight we will be holding the very popular teacher raffle, which is your chance to win a playdate for your child with his or her teacher, so give generously tonight because if you don't, your children will pay the price." "Since you can't see color, you might not be able to tell that Mr. Harris is headed this way." "Oh!" "I don't want him to come over here." "What are we gonna do?" "Yeah, keep talking to me." "Okay?" "No, start a fight with me." "No, no, no, kiss me!" "I..." "I..." "I'm sorry, I..." "I panicked." "We don't have to talk about it." "So what do you have planned for the playdate?" "Last year Mrs. Belt took the winner to the world premiere of Over The Hedge and then on a VIP tour of the zoo where they helped birth a giraffe." "Oh, wow." "I don't know," "I thought we'd go to a park or maybe the library." "The... the library?" "With all the homeless people?" "There's Mr. Harris." "Should we go?" "But I'm so close to the chocolate." "No, I can do this, okay?" "Just, please don't leave me alone with him, okay?" " You got it." " Yeah." "Hey, Mr. Harris." "I'm going over there." " Hi." " Hi." "He's an ass." "And yet it seems you spend almost every minute of every day together." "I know." "I'm an ass, too." "Hey, I wanted to ask you-- have you been to that new ice cream place on Washington?" "No." "Is it good?" "Well, sounds great." "I read about it in the food section." "All the ice cream is handmade right there, so you get to tell them what ingredients to put in, so basically you make up your own flavor." "How does that sound?" "W ell..." "I'm very flattered, but I don't know, it feels like it might be crossing a line." "You know, I mean, maybe if we took separate cars and then we pretended it was like an accident." "You know, kind of like "Oh, hey, what are you doing here?"" "You know, that kind of a..." "I'm talking about the playdate for the kids." "What are you talking about?" "The playdate for the kids." "You thought I was asking you on a date." "No, no, no, no, no, no." "I-I-I-I thought on the playdate for the kids you should pretend it was an accident and then go, "Oh, hey, what are you doing here?" kind of thing." "Christine, I'm sorry." "But there's actually a policy that strictly prohibits parent-teacher dating." "I could get fired." "Oh, well, and it's a good policy, I'll tell you that." "Okay, well, I'm going to go over there, if you'll excuse me, and think about new schools for Ritchie." "Have you gentlemen bought your tickets for the teacher playdate raffle?" "Oh, yeah, let me ask you about that." "If we win the teacher, can we do anything we want with them?" "Like what?" "Oh, nothing dirty." "Unless it can be something dirty." "I'm such an ass." "Hey, there's another guy selling tickets." "Let's do it to him." "And the winner of the playdate with our third grade teacher Mrs. Hustwick is..." "Melissa Long." "Congratulations to little Melissa." "And the winner of the fourth grade teacher playdate with Mr. Harris is..." "Christine Campbell." "What?" "No, no, no." "I didn't..." "I didn't even buy a ticket." "You're welcome." "Ass!" "Hey, do you like this?" "It's kind of girly." "Where'd you get it?" "From the chocolate fountain at the gala." "By the end of the night, that thing was like the bottom of a public pool." " Hey." " Hey." "Ritchie ready yet?" "Oh, you're taking him on the playdate?" "Did I send you an e-mail?" "No, I sent you an e-mail." "The Clippers game, remember?" "Courtside seats." "Oh, no, no, no, no." "This afternoon is Ritchie's playdate with Mr. Harris." "But you scheduled it on the same day as the Clippers game." "I've had these seats for months." "One of us is going to have to reschedule." "Yeah, okay, I'll call the Clippers." "But we're supposed to be there in ten minutes." "I mean, Mr. Harris is probably already there." "Oh!" "He already thinks I want to date him." "Now he's going to think I rigged the raffle and orchestrated this whole thing." "No, don't worry-- if he knows you at all he's going to know you're not smart enough to rig a raffle." "I hope you're right." "Fly." "Oh, good Lord." " Oh, Mr. Harris." " Christine." "Hi, Mr. Daniel Harris." "Um... there's been a little mix-up and Ritchie's not going to be able to make it." "So, I'm so sorry." "Bye." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down." "Is Ritchie okay?" "Oh, yeah, he's fine." "It's just that his father bought these tickets to a Clippers game and apparently they're really locked into their schedule or something." "So... anyway, I'm really sorry you had to come down here." "So, bye-bye." "Christine, please, don't go." "I already attracted some attention-- a single guy hanging out in an ice cream parlor and then when I told them I was waiting for my playdate... they put that guy on me." "Well, you can take him." "Bye." "Christine." "Come on." "Sit down for a second." "Okay." "Can I ask you something?" "Sure." "Are you mad at me?" "What?" "Oh, no." "No." "Okay." "It's just you've been kind of avoiding me all week." "And I thought maybe you were offended by our misunderstanding at the gala." "You remember when you thought I was asking you out and I was really talking about the playdate?" "I-I... yeah, I think I remember something about..." "Oh, my God, of course I remember." "It was the most humiliating experience of my life." "I don't know what's wrong with me, you know?" " Oh, can I have some of this?" " Sure." "You know, I'm not myself when I'm around you." "I'm usually so self-possessed and dignified, and..." "Ew, raisins." "You should know, if I could ask you out..." "I would." "You-you would what?" "Ask you out, on a date." "I would ask you to go out." "With who?" "Me." "Me and you on a date." "I like you." "You do?" "Well, um, if you could ask me out and would, then I would say yes." "But you probably already knew that, considering I already did say yes." "So we both would..." "if we could." "Yeah." "So that's good." "She's a lot of work." "Christine?" "And now I'm in the ladies' room." "My picture is definitely going up behind the cash register." "Shh!" "What's going on?" "Marly and Lindsay are here with their kids." "If they see us, it's going to be all over the school." "My God, you could lose your job." "Yeah, and I've probably blown my chance to work here." "Come with me." "I am not doing this in front of people." "Oh, crap." "Here comes Lindsay." "Get in the thing." "Put your feet up." "Put your feet..." "You embarrassed me and I deserve an apology." "But you did steal that lipstick." "I told you I just forgot to pay for it." "You forget things, too." "Now I want an apology." "No." "Dr. Berg told me to set boundaries." "So we are not going anywhere until you apologize." "Fine." "Fine." "Oh, I can't feel my legs." "Those are my legs." "What are you, a runner?" "Long-distance." "Birthday party's almost over." "Fine, I'm sorry." "Hey, let's not tell Dr. Berg about this, though, okay?" "Well, I just want you to know that that is the first time" "I have ever shared a bathroom stall with a man." "Oh, wait, that's not true." "Well, I guess the party's over, so it's probably safe to go out, huh?" "Yeah, yeah." "Well, I really enjoyed Ritchie's playdate with you." "Yeah, me, too." "It's too bad about that policy." "Yeah." "Is it a good policy?" "I guess, uh... we should go out separately." "You want to go first?" "Um, actually, I have to use the..." "Oh, gotcha." "So I'll see you at school, Mrs. Campbell." "See you at school, Mr. Harris." "Seriously, can you leave?" "'Cause I..."

"Previously on "Dominion"..." "The added stress of surgery caused a miscarriage." " What did you do?" " What I had to!" "I've been chosen." "These are my markings." "This is the fifth Amphora." "Darkness." "It's one of the archangel's weapons." ""And his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their tongues for pain."" "If you unlock the Amphora, it'll wipe us all out, angels and humans." "I know." "Oh, no, you're absolutely right." "What was that?" "Find out what's going on..." "Sanders?" "No!" "Ah!" "Alex!" "Help!" "Claire!" "Get off me!" "Get off me!" "Claire, stop!" "Noma, go!" "Hello." "My baby." "My baby." "I thought I lost you." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Mommy's here." "Mommy's here." "Let's go." "Please don't." "Don't do this, please." "Any... anything... anything you want," "I can get it for you." "Please!" "David Whele, by order of the Lady of the City, you have been sentenced to die." "Do you have any last words?" "Everything I did, I did it for Vega!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Stay of execution has been granted." "You David Whele?" "Your presence has been requested." "What?" "Please." "What's happening?" "Am I free?" "Has Claire pardoned me?" "My sigil." "My lord." "_" "Hello, David." "Boo!" "Alex, wait!" " What the hell is this?" " It's the Amphora of Darkness." "Brings out the darkness inside you." "It drives you mad with visions to make you hurt yourself or someone else." "Some are nightmares but some are dreams, beautiful but fatal, all end in death." "Well, I'm not seeing anything, nightmares or dreams." "Well, neither am I but angels can withstand its effects longer than humans." "Doesn't explain you though." " I gotta find Claire." " No, no!" "The only way to help Claire is to find the Amphora and close it." "No human can do it." "Only an angel can reseal it." "It's close." "I can sense it nearby." "I can feel it." "Follow me." "Let's go." "Claire, what have you done to me?" "Rose?" "A female 8-ball." "This is exactly what we needed." "An 8-ball?" "I'm not an 8-ball." "Claire, what is she talking about?" "How does she know my name?" "This one's smart." "She learns fast." "I'm confident we can break her down, train her for our purposes." "Train me?" "You can't be serious." "You're dead." "Claire, I shot her, I swear!" "Calm yourself, or I'll remove your black eyes myself." "Rose?" "This is too risky." "If we release her to seduce David Whele, how do we know she won't kill him, or worse, us?" "David needs to be branded a traitor." "It's the perfect plan." "Destroy him or he'll destroy you." "Claire, you must listen to me." "Something is very wrong here." "Please." "Claire." "Claire!" "Claire!" "Listen to me!" "Claire!" "Okay." "Ah!" "Well, if it isn't my dear old acolyte." "Been a long time, William." "Gabriel?" "Are you the one that brought me here?" "Where am I?" "Don't you recognize it?" "The desert heat must have been brutal." "You took shelter here with your gun and its six little bullets." "Poor boy, thought you had escaped." "Welcome back." "I don't know what you're talking about." " And I'm not afraid of you." " That so?" "This tough exterior of yours is just a facade." "I know the real you." "Sniveling coward that served me all those years." "No, I..." "I'm not the same William anymore." "I was chosen by God... our Father." "Come now." "It's embarrassing." "You?" "The Chosen One?" "I am the Chosen One." "I-I have the scars to prove it." "Gabriel, I was tested in the desert, and I was saved by the grace of God." "When everyone else deserted me, He never did." "God is gone!" "He left you too." "You're not the Chosen One." "You're a reject!" "Ah!" "Gabriel!" "We'll need to search all the floors." "How the hell did the Amphora get inside the city?" "I don't know, but obviously Julian must have found it in New Delphi." "Quit it." "I'm not seeing any visions or whatever." "But you're human." "You should have been affected by now." "Perhaps he won't be." "The Amphora brings out the darkness within, but Alex is the last pure heart." "Meaning?" "Maybe there's no darkness inside you." "Help me." "We need to split up." "The Amphora's designed to preserve itself." "It'll choose a victim to protect it." "We need to hurry." "He may not succumb, but you and I will." "I'll search up here." "I'll take this floor." "♪ Hush, little baby, don't say a word ♪" "♪ Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird ♪" "♪ And if that mockingbird don't sing ♪" "♪ Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring ♪" "Yes." "Yes." "How are my girls?" "Come here." "Hard to believe this is our life sometimes, isn't it?" "You have no idea." "Alex?" "What is it?" "You can't see that?" "See what?" "Damn it." "There's nothing in there either." "What is it?" "Nothing." "Come on." "We need to find the Amphora, end this thing." "Alex?" "We should split up." "No, we already split from Michael." "It's too dangerous." "We need to stick together." "I'm a soldier." "I can handle myself." "I'll be fine, I swear." "Okay." "Just be careful." "Yeah." "Ah." "What is this?" "Is this some kind of a trick?" "You're... me." "Well, now you're just stating the obvious." "It's time you and I had a little conversation about our destiny." "Our destiny?" "These are dark times, David." "And they grow darker." "But there's a bright future ahead of you." "Or there can be." "It's up to you." "You could be Lord of the City." "You play your cards right, you can have one of these too." "No." "No." "Look at you." "You're not a lord." "You're an eight-ball." "Hey, I'm a survivor." "The end of the day, that's all that matters." "But you... you're holding me back." "What do you want from me?" "Let it go." "Embrace who you've become." "Renounce your... humanity or whatever you call it." "And become a monster like you." "Bow down to the angels." "Never." "You can take my life, but my soul is my own, something you will never understand." "Souls, David, really?" "Don't touch those." "Each of these items represents the soul of a man or woman you destroyed on your way to power." "And you kept them in a trophy case." "Let's be honest, David." "You've been a monster like me longer than you'd like to admit." "Still stubborn, I see." "Maybe this will help." "That's private." "Where did you get that?" "They have a strange desire for certain items." "Who is she?" "Arika's mother." "You remind me of her." "That's mine." "Give it back." "I don't want people to see her that way." "Claire, please." "Now, are you ready to obey?" "Uh-huh." "Michael." "Michael." "No!" "Oops." "Noma... what have you done?" "I'm ending this war." "Something I should have done 25 years ago." "Alex had to die." "Father's markings are gone forever." "Now, so is he." "It's over, Michael." "You failed." "Hear that, Michael?" "It's the end." "The death of all God's creations." "Noma." "No." "No." "I missed you, baby." "Mmm." "Claire!" "What happened to you?" "That's no way to talk to your wife." "What's wrong?" "Don't you think I'm pretty anymore?" "That's not what I meant." "Because I want you, William." "Mmm!" "This is another test from God for me." "You actually believe that shit?" "Well, I have news for you." "You're a false prophet." "You're wrong." "I've transformed, changed." "Shh!" "Stop!" "That blinding flash of light that saved you from the thieves?" "That wasn't a gift from God." "That was the thief's gun backfiring on him." "Mmm!" "It killed him." "Dead, dead, dead." "While you... you were cowering in the corner." "My William." "That's not true." "I heard the voice of God, and he..." "Aah!" "That was your voice." "You were talking to yourself." "Mm-hmm." "See all this?" "This is what really happened." "You were a prisoner to a pack of 8-balls." "They fed you rats." "They did... unspeakable things to you." "And it was fun." "No miracles." "Just you... and your stupid mind justifying the disgusting things that happened to you." "Oh!" "I see you miss me too, William." "But you're no chosen one." "No." "You're nothing." "You're delusional, weak." "You always were." "Who could ever love you?" "You're safe now." "Do we have any reason to fear you?" "No." "Good girl." "Your mother was a lunatic." "She was diagnosed as bipolar when you very young." "She saw things that weren't there." "She needed help." "But she didn't want it." "She hurt you." "She didn't know what she was doing." "You thought she was a monster." "No, I loved my mother." "You're afraid of her." "Afraid of becoming her." "Now... recite your lines." "No." "I said... recite your lines." "I don't want to fight anymore, David." "Don't treat me like this." "Good." "You're ready." "Now strip." "I'm offering you everything you've ever wanted." "Yes." "Lord of the City, but not like this." " You're inhuman." " So are you." "You killed innocents." "You tried to assassinate Claire." "You conned Zoe into a war." "You left your own son in the desert to die." "I had to." "Those things I did in order to survive." "Unh!" "Oh!" "Let's be blood brothers." "I was a husband, a father." "I had a family!" "I loved them dearly." "I lost it all!" "Tell me, how does that make me inhuman?" "Yes, you loved them, and when they were taken, it changed you." "David." "Help us, Daddy." "Charles?" "Peggy?" "Eleanor!" "Love is a liability, a distraction." "It's what's been holding you back." "That's why you pushed William away." "No, it was his crying that lead them to where we were hiding." "It was his fault that they died." "Now was it?" "Aah!" "The war was the best thing that ever happened to you because it made you the man you were meant to be." "Me." "You love your Daddy, huh?" "She can't stop watching you." "So cute." "Such a big girl." "You hungry?" "Maybe Daddy could get you something." "I'll get her bottle." "Hey." "Is Daddy gonna feed you?" "Hmm?" "What is it?" "Is it too hot?" "No, it's... it's nothing." "Alex... where'd the crib go?" "What crib?" "We have to get out of here." "You have to trust me." "We have to..." "We have to get out of here now." "Alex, listen to me." "We have to..." "I'm seeing..." "Just... just wait." "It's okay." "It's okay, sweetie." "Alex, I..." "Alex?" "Alex?" "Willow?" "Alex?" "W-where's Willow?" "No!" "Wait." "Where are you going?" "Outside." "Come on." "But I thought you said you could sense the Amphora in here." "Maybe I was wrong." "Ah!" "Put it down." "What are you doing?" "Something's wrong with you." "Something's off." "Unh!" "Get away from him!" "I trusted you." "That day, you said you'd protect him with your life, but you've been waiting for a chance to kill him, haven't you?" "No!" "Archangel, no, I promised you." "Lies!" "I know what's in your heart." "Back off, Michael." "You don't know what you're saying." "It's the Darkness talking." "You don't know her, Alex." "She's hiding something." "Get back!" "You can't have it!" "Wait, what are you talking about?" "The Amphora." "She has the Amphora." "Stay here." "I think I know where she hid it." "Alex." "Alex, get back here!" "Alex, stop!" " Tell me the truth, Michael." " Alex." "All you care about... are my markings." "I don't mean anything to you." "Is it true?" "No, of course not." "These are all you care about!" "Only at first." "You were just a tiny infant." "How could so helpless a creature bring my father back?" "So, for a time, yes, the markings were all I cared for." "But as the boy who would carry them grew," "I saw that he was good and kind and brave." "No father could be prouder of any son." "It's not enough, Michael." "What are you holding on to, David?" "There's no one left to fight for except yourself." "Survive." "Your humanity is hanging by a thread." "Cut it." "Bow down to me." "All the horrible things I've done..." "You're right... about me." "About everything." "Very good." "Get up." "Alex?" "What are you doing here?" "You've been spreading lies, William." "What lies?" "Tell me, who am I?" "You're Alex." "Who am I?" "Who am I, William?" "Why are you doing this?" "Yeah, there's an easy answer." "You see these?" "These are my markings, so let me ask you again." "Who am I?" "Don't make me say it." "Who am I?" "You're... you're... you're the Chosen One." "Who am I?" "You're the Chosen One!" "That's right!" "And you're not." "Your scars are just... deformities." "They mean nothing." "You mean nothing." "Your marriage to Claire means nothing." "No." "My markings... my markings are gone." "You know what to do." "I don't want to fight anymore, David." "Hello?" "David?" "Seducing David was never the mission, Arika." "Killing you was." "Oh, please." "Don't do this." "Look at you." "Helpless, crazy." "Like mother, like daughter." "No, I'm not her." "Please." "I-I did everything you asked of me." "Have mercy." "You never showed me mercy, so why should I?" "Get on your knees." "Rose... what I did, killing you, it was so wrong." "I am so sorry." "Please forgive me." "Forgive me." "Stop." "Are you going to kill me again?" "Help me!" "Nomes?" "Stop!" "Don't come any closer!" "Get back!" "Okay, okay." "We need to close the Amphora." "It lies." "Whatever it's telling you, it's not real." "They are real." "I can see them." "I won't let you take them away again." "Take what away?" "Noma." "Get back!" "Noma, you're gonna fall." "I won't." "I can fly." "You can't!" "It's the Darkness." "It's tricking you." "Your wings aren't back." "Get back, or I'll fly away with it." "If you jump, you'll die." "I gave them up once." "I did it for you, Alex." "I won't do it again." "I need them to go home again." "How else will I fly back to Heaven?" "They're a part of me." "And you're a part of me." "Please don't do this!" "I need you." "You're my Nomes forever." "I need you." "Come to me." "Alex?" "Alex?" "I got you." "I'm here." "I'm here." "I got you." "Noma," "I can't close this, and Michael is too far gone." "You can do this, Noma." "Alex, get away from her!" "Michael, no!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "It's the Darkness!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Michael!" "Michael, no!" "Get back, Alex!" "She wants you dead." "Michael, please, it's not real!" " It's the Darkness!" " It's not real!" "None of it's real!" "We need to close the Amphora!" "I should've done this long ago." "Get on your knees." "How did you do that?" "I'm so sorry." "Your wings." "I'm so sorry." "What have I done?" "I will kill them." "I will kill them all." "The Amphora of Darkness has served my kind for an eternity, but now I realize it should've been destroyed long ago." "We need to find out who survived." "Come on." "Be careful." "Whoever did this will still be near." "Well, that was rather quick." "No matter." "It's time."

"Previously on Californication..." "Man, what are the odds?" "I end up next to the most beautiful woman in the tri-state area." "He wants Hank to come to him." "Who the fuck is "he"?" "Samurai Apocalypse." "But I wanna do my own thing, my own moment." "Santa Monica Cop is my Eddie Murphy moment right now!" "I don't know." "It's not really my thing." "Get your sexy ass over here, mama." "Damn." "I'm Charlie Runkle." "We spoke on the phone." "No, I'm just the nanny, but come on in." " Are you OK?" " I just got fired." "Are you looking for a new gig?" "Hank Moody!" "Better not be hitting on my girl." "You should be in Starbucks writing me some funny shit." "I don't think I can do it." " How's Becca?" " Boyfriend." "I wanna kill him, Hank." "Hey, Tyler." "This is not what it looks like." "This is my sister." "What the fuck was that all about?" "Some guy my daughter's seeing." "I think he's gonna break her heart." "Maybe we should break his legs first." "Tyler was leaving some club in Hollywood, and he got jumped by a bunch of gangbangers." "Fade the fuck out." "The end, motherfucker." "Charlie!" "Way ahead of you, buddy." "Print, bitches." "Wait!" "Don't you want to spell check?" "No, something tells me the Samurai isn't much of a typo Nazi, and I gotta get out of here." "I gotta get my brown eye on the red-eye." "I got a plane to catch." " Please, stay." " Mmm-mmm." "I came, I saw, I turned some words into cash." "The coffers are full." "Besides, I don't want to get myself killed by a trigger-happy rapper." "It's just not the same without you, buddy." "Just go down to the bar, grab yourself one of your Messy Bessies and you'll feel better in the morning." "That's the thing, Hank." "It doesn't work any more." "I'm lonely." "I long for companionship." "Is this it?" "Is this the moment I've been waiting for?" "Are you finally coming out to me, Charlie?" "Female companionship." "Female." " Grab yourself a lady friend." " It's not that easy." "I'm old and bald and lacking in social skills." "Yeah, but you do make a decent living." "And you have this groovy pad." "And that's really good for the hedonist." "It impresses the shit out of the strippers and the barmaids, but what if I want something more?" "Sometimes it's better not to touch your dreams." "Take it from someone who knows." "That is profound..." "ly depressing." "Speaking of which, I gotta go say good-bye to Becca." "Then I gotta drop this puppy off at MTV Cribs." "What are you gonna do?" "I don't know." "I guess I'll probably masturbate to something dirty on the Internet while I wait for Stuart to show up and spend the night." "Solid plan." "What's on the menu these days?" "I'm glad you asked." "I'm extremely partial these days to live sex-cams." "Yeah, for just a couple of bucks a minute, they'll do anything you want." "I got this girl to drink her own pee the other day." " What is wrong with you?" " What?" "This is why you can't find a girl." "You're too busy making them do disgusting things on the Internet." " You should be ashamed of yourself." " I am." "Good." "Now hug me." "I gotta go." " Charlie?" " Yes." "Is that a dildo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me go?" "I think I must have been reliving that pee thing." "Now it's just a shame boner." "Fuck, fuck!" "Hey." "What'd that poor house ever do to you?" "Nothing!" "It's what that pansy-ass little pussy fart is doing to my house." "I gotta walk this shit off before I end up back in prison." "Fucker!" "Fucker!" "Hey." "Hey." "What's with the hubby out there?" "Oh." "Tyler got into his 40-year-old bottle of Chivas." "What the huh?" "I thought Batesy was on the wagon." "Yeah, he is." "But he keeps it around as a symbol of his sobriety." "Oh." "Right on." "So how's patient zero?" " Demanding." " Yeah?" " Mmm." " Mmm-hmm?" "I'm waiting." "My props?" "I told you the kid was an asshole." "Well, yeah, but you think everyone's an asshole." "Yes." "Yes, I do." "But that doesn't make me any less right about this particular asshole." "I gotta go to the drugstore." "Tyler needs more Vicodin." " Hi, Becca." "Remember me?" " Oh, hey, Dad." "Hey, I'm leaving." "On a jet plane." "Don't know when I'll be back again." "Maybe a hug?" " Safe travels, Dad." " All right, I love you." "See you soon." "Yeah." "Hey, a quick one while they're away?" "Come on." "For old times' sake." "You know what?" "You're hitting on a married woman." " I know." "What's your point?" " Yeah." "You really want me to sic my husband on you in the state he's in?" "You're right." "That kind of thing could lead a man to drink." " Yes." " And then his glorious mangina might make an appearance." "Wouldn't want to see that happen, would we?" "Actually, I would." "I'm dying to see that thing again." " Come on, let's do it." " Stop it." "Karen!" "Is dinner ready yet?" "Yeah." " I'm gonna take this..." " No, allow me." " Well, put it on the..." " Hey, fuck that." "Thank God." "I was about to eat my foot." "Oh." "Hey, Hank." "Wow, you've really moved in, haven't you?" "I hope you're not expecting to get you security deposit back, are you?" "Hey, listen, they insisted, OK?" "Mmm." "It's good." "Aw." "My folks are out of town, all right?" "That's what your folks told you." "They actually hate your guts and rue the day that your father ever failed to pull out in time." "Ha-ha." "Why don't you go easy on me, man?" "I got my ass beat about a week ago." "I know." "I know that." "And I was almost sad when I heard the news." "And then I was vaguely disappointed when I heard you weren't gonna die or anything like that." "But knowing that you were in great pain did make me smile." " It's the little things, you know?" " Mmm." "But if you break my daughter's heart, being stomped on by a bunch of gangbangers is gonna seem like a play date compared to the can of rape-ass" "I will open up on your..." "Ass." "Mmm." "Well, I have no intention of breaking her heart." " Good." " She's a cool chick." "And if you respect her coolness, you will tell her that you are a lying, cheating, skulduggerous little manwhore." "You hear me?" "I hear you." " Are we cool?" " No, never." "Can I bum a smoke?" "Sure." "Got a light?" "Ah!" "See, it's this damn finger of mine." " Oh, yeah." "I bet it's..." " Oh." " It's hard to..." " God!" "Oh, yeah." "This is how it was done." "Back in the day." "When the bushes were big and the boobies was real." "Shit!" "Shit!" "Shit, shit, shit!" "Shit." " Hello!" " Hello." "Not too much boob tube, OK?" "OK, OK, OK." "Relax, relax." " We only watch what's educational." " Uh-huh." "A little Baby Einstein, perhaps." "Who knows?" "Maybe he'll even say something." "Whoa!" "Jesus Christ, Charlie!" "Oh, my God." "I can't trust you alone with this kid for one second." "Yeah, well, feel free to take him with you out on date night, then." "Oh, let's not be rash, Marcy." "You know, my assistant had to work some serious magic for these rezzies." "Believe me." "I need a break from all things mommy." "Right, right." "So that whole "hiring someone to watch your kid" ""while you go out all day shopping and having your toes done" thing not working for you?" "Die young and suffer, dickless." "Really kicking it back old-school with the porn there, hey, Runkle?" "Well, if you must know," "I'm trying to wean myself off the hardcore stuff." "Yeah, I'm trying to rediscover the simple pleasures of a masturbating teenager, when girls were magical creatures who didn't go ATM." " Ugh." " What?" "Ass to mouth." " That's disgusting." " Yet intriguing." "Don't get any ideas, OK?" "You're way too big for mommy's cornhole." "Yeah, that's what daddy likes to hear." "You're welcome." "Hey, hey, what's the matter, buddy?" "Hey, what's the matter?" "Huh?" " Where's Mr Blanky?" " What?" "Where is Mr Blanky?" " You..." " You..." " Did you..." " You brought..." "You put it in the backpack." "OK." "You know, the traffic is really terrible right now on PCH." "I think maybe we should jet." "Yeah." "Sorry, Charlie." " OK, buddy, you're OK." " You wanted weekday overnights!" " You're a big boy, right?" " Mommy loves you!" "Oh, no." "Oh, you're a big boy." "You're a big boy, OK." "OK, OK." "Shit." "I'm excited to read this shit, yo." "I'm excited that you're excited, yo." "You're a funny motherfucker, Moody." "You know that, right?" "Right back at you, Sam." "May I call you Sam?" "Call me Calvin." "My moms call me Calvin." "I'd be honoured." " You should." " I am." "All right, nigga." " I'm gonna read this shit." " You do that." "No, I mean right now, yo." "Wait right here." "No, I can't." "No, no, no, I gotta run." "I gotta go." "What if I gotta make changes or some shit like that?" "You can e-mail them to me." "That way I can ignore it more easily." "Come on." "You ready?" "Damn." "Damn, mama, I gotta read this script." "But you said we were going out tonight." "I know, I know." "I'll make it up to you, all right?" " I'll make it up to you." " Whatever." "Oh, man." "Yo, is it me, man?" "Or is she just hot beyond logic and reason?" "She be fine as wine." " Hey, I told you about..." " Sorry, I'm sorry." "Why don't you just take her out, you know?" "You can read the script later." "Later?" "Fuck, no, man." "That's my motherfucking career, man." "I take this shit serious, man." "I'm gonna sit in my favourite chair and read every page." "Even the parts I'm not in." "Put a pen to this bitch, correct all the typos." " I hate typos." "That shit is lazy." " Yeah." "I hate typos, too." "Shit." "I do like when a girl come home from a club, though." "After dancing and drinking, they be hot as a fuck, ready to go." " What time's your flight?" " Uh, 11:40." "Well, that's plenty of time to take Kali out for me, man." "That's not plenty of time, not plenty at all." "Come on, man." "Do me a solid." "Take one of my whips." "That's tempting." "Would that I could, but I can't." " My hands are tied." " What you gonna do, go to a fucking airport or spend time with a beautiful woman?" "I've spent many a time with many a beautiful woman." " So what's the problem?" " I can't do it." " I can't." "I can't." " That's fucked up, man." " I gotta run." " Look, look..." "I did you a solid with fucking Little Romeo, right?" " Ah, no." " I put his fucking ass" " in the hospital for you." " I did not ask you for that." "Yeah, but you needed that." "I felt what you needed." "That's what brothers do for each other." "They feel each other." "Feel me?" "All right, a quick bite, but that's it." "Hey, that's all I'm fucking asking for." "Nigga, what?" "Shit." " All right, OK." " But, yo..." "Keep your motherfucking paws off her, Moody." "And your fucking penis." " A'ight." " I'm serious, man." " I heard that." " I'm serious, man." " No, I heard that." " You be playing too much, yo." " You got it?" " Communication delivered." "All right, come on." "I got this fucking Caddy with the hydraulics." "This shit's gonna be like..." "Bong-bong!" "I'm so sorry." "You must be going nuts." "Charlie, I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "Hmm." "I'm sorry, can I get you something to drink?" "No, I should probably go." "No!" "No, please, please, please, don't go." " Please." " OK." "Yeah, this not exactly what I had in mind." "I'm sure, but whatever you had in mind is something I probably couldn't stand for longer than five minutes, so this will have to do." "You like torturing me, don't you?" "I do." "Very much so." " Hey, don't do that." " Do what?" "Don't look like that and talk like that." "It makes my wiener feel weird." "Well, we wouldn't want that, now, would we?" " What was that?" " Self-preservation." "I was warned not to put my hands on you." "Well, what if I want your hands on me?" "You're shit out of luck." "They're gone." "Arms, too." "Blown off in the war." "I'm nothing but a torso now." "Oh, yeah, laugh." "Laugh at the torso guy." "You're a mean and vicious woman." "You know he doesn't own me." "Yeah?" "Well, be that as it may, he does seem like the jealous type." "That is one way to put it." "He almost chopped off one of his bodyguard's fingers for looking at me in an impure manner." "Like there's any other way to look at you." "OK." "So that's when I tell you, "Don't talk to me like that."" "Cos I might have to put hands on you." " Mmm-hmm." " Mmm-hmm." "So he's crazy, and you're crazy beautiful." "What's in it for you?" "Well, he discovered me, and he signed me to his label and he's producing my album." "And that's it?" "No." "You know, it's not like we're exclusive to each other." " Mmm-hmm." " Mmm-hmm." "I honestly can't even count how many baby mamas he's got." "Oh, that sounds complicated." "I like to keep it simple." "I only have the one baby mama." " Yeah." "You told me about that." " Mmm-hmm." " Dance with me." " No." " No, no, no." " Come on." "No." "Hankie don't dance." "Hold my purse." "You've got a really beautiful place here, Charlie." "Well, thank you, thank you." "I'm jealous." "You seem like you have it all figured it out." "Are you kidding?" "I don't know anything about anything." "What are you talking about?" "You've got this great kid, a successful career, a working automobile." "True, true and true." "I also have a failed marriage, a number of truly humiliating career turns and I haven't got an ounce of love in my life." " Hmm." "Join the club." " Come on." "A beautiful girl like you?" "I bet you have your pick of the litter." "Of creeps, yes." "Any creep I want is mine for the taking." "It's hard to find a nice guy in LA." "I'm not beautiful." " Really?" " Hmm." "You're insane." "And you're sweet." "But I don't really fit the mould." "Don't even know if I really belong here." "I mean, I want to write children's books, not screenplays." "Wait a second, didn't you tell me you were working your way through cooking school?" "Yeah, that's the other thing." "I can't make up my mind." "I want to be someone new every other week." "You like that?" "Tell me you like it." "Tell me you want Charlie's dirty fingers inside your pudding." "No, Charlie." "I won't tell you that, and I don't like it." " What?" " You kind of just finger-blasted me out of nowhere." "I know, I know." "I'm sorry." "Look, I don't know who you've been talking to, or what kind of porn you've been watching, but girls in the real world, we don't go from kissing to finger-banging in a matter of seconds." "You're right, you're right." "You're absolutely right." "I have been watching so much porn on the Internet lately." "And I've been seeking so much sexual gratification that it's like I don't even know how to relate" " to real women any more." " Clearly." "Yeah, it's as if going ATM has become de rigueur." "Um..." " What?" " Ass to mouth." " Oh, that's not good." " I know." "No, I mean you could get an infection." "I know." "Been there." "Oh, what do we have here?" "Hey, who's this clown?" "Just some old guy from earlier who keeps hitting on me." "Said he'd give me 30 bucks for a hand job." "Oh, are we're playing that game now, are we?" "Yo, pal, why don't you just take a walk somewhere?" "Why don't you just kiss my turd cutter, little lumberjack?" "OK." "So what's up?" " Oh, no." " You wanna get hit?" "You want a dry thumb up the ass?" "You had to think about it, right?" "You wanna just get out of here?" " Gladly." " No, no, no." " You don't want to do that." " Why not?" "Cos I'm in charge of getting you home safely." "No, I'm in charge of getting me home safely." "Now you're just splitting hairs." "Little hairs." "Pubic hairs." "Well, that's impossible." "Cos I don't have any pubic hairs." "Come on." "Why would you want to do that?" "What's wrong with a little hair down there?" "You kids today with your self-loathing pube abuse." "What about you, buster?" " Keep a clean playground?" " What the fuck?" "It's a simple question, brosephine." "Broseph..." "Yeah, yeah." "Of course, everyone does." "Ah." " Homo." " Say what?" "Homo." "What?" "You really think you're having better sex than your parents?" "You think that your father loved your mother's beautiful pussy any less because she had more hair down there?" "Don't be talking about my mom's pussy." "What?" "I said it was beautiful, man." "What are you doing?" "Whoo!" "Oh, sorry." "You're crazy." "Now, this is more like it." "I still can't believe you gave that guy a titty-twister." "Mmm." "The titty-twister is frowned upon in some circles, but it's actually a remarkably effective street-fighting tool." "And it can diffuse a potentially incendiary situation." "And it provokes laughter." "You see that?" " What'd I tell you?" " Oh, gosh." "I'm having fun." "Well, of course you are." "I know how to show a girl a good time." "A few drinks, some dancing, a little titty-twisting, toss a few burgers down her throat." "Get her home before this low-rider turns back into a pumpkin." "Bong-bong." " This is amazing." " That?" " Bargain-basement promise land?" " Um." "Say what you want, but this is where dreams come true." "Or come to die." "Where you from?" "Born and bred in the Bronx." " The Bronx?" " Mmm-hmm." " That's an amazing place to be from." " Yeah." "Well, how many of us make it from there to here?" "Doesn't matter." "You did." "We'll see how long I last." "I heard your music." "I don't think you have anything to worry about." "So, you leave tonight?" "Yes, sirree, ma'am." " Let me ask you a question." " Mmm-hmm." "If you're leaving tonight, like, this very night." "Yeah." "What's the harm in a good-bye kiss?" "Well, when you put it that way, it's hard to see the harm." "I know, right?" " Maybe just one." " Oh, yes." "Of course." "What the fuck you got to say for yourself now, motherfucker?" "Uh..." " Come on!" " Santa Monica Cop cannot be my last credit." "Oh, my God." "I'm just fucking with you, Moody." "It's funny how at peace I was with it." "Yeah, well, you seemed like you were really relaxed." "What's up, mama?" "Man, the fucking script was off the charts, homie." " You like it?" " Like it?" "Nigga, I love it, man." "Made me one bad-ass motherfucker." "I'll be able to walk on that set with confidence, dude." "My dick just swinging everywhere, man." "Thank you, Moody." "For real." "You're welcome, Calvin." "He show you a good time, mama?" "Yeah, it was all right." "Kind of limited, boring white guy." "Guilty as charged." "You all two motherfuckers knocked boots, man?" " What the fuck?" " Babe, I mean, honestly, come on." "I mean, this guy?" "Are you serious?" "Well, way to knock a guy when he's got a gun to his throat." "I'm just fucking with you, bro." "I can't stop fucking with you, man." "I'm in character." "Understood." " You got a flight to catch, right?" " Mos def." "Sorry." "I do have a flight to catch." " Safe travels." " See you around, Hank." "Yeah, good luck with that whole becoming-a-star thing." "Ah, thank you, and good luck with that whole keeping-it-simple thing." "Ah, speaking of which, look." "It's from the baby mama." "Ah, shit, I got a lot of those motherfuckers." " Yeah, how many?" " Shit, I'm not sure." " I got it written down somewhere." " Yes." "Hello?" "Hey." "Where is she?" "She's in her room." "She won't come out." "I mean, I haven't seen her this upset since..." "Ever." " You're burying the lead." " Which is saying something." "This is good news." "They broke up." "He's gone." "Yeah, but I'm not going to break out the champagne when she's this upset." " He was cheating on her, Hank." " You're kidding." "I'll alert the media." " Nice." " Why would he tell her that?" "I don't know." "These things, they..." "They hurt, you know?" "I know." "Can I come in or are visiting hours over?" " Shut up." " There's my girl." "You can come in." "But you'd better not gloat." "Gloat?" "Me?" "Never." "Please, you hated him." "Yes, I did." "But I hate everybody." "And you've got a tough road ahead of you." "Nobody's gonna be good enough for my little girl." "Guess I finally understand why mom put up with your shit for so long." "What do you mean?" "He's an asshole, and I hate his stinking guts right now." "But it doesn't mean I don't love him." "Yeah." "I get that." "And he was a great lover." "That's gross, honey." "Sorry." "Thought I was talking to a friend for a minute there." "Yeah, no, you are, and that's a great compliment." "But it doesn't make it any less grody." "Have to hand it to the guy, though." "He was honest." "OK, that's good, right?" "In a totally soul-crushing, heartbreaking kind of way, sure." "He fessed up to being a lying, cheating, skulduggerous little manwhore." "Come on, let's go." "We'll go to the canals." "We'll walk on the canals." "Remember we used to do the shit out of that when you were a kid?" "It's like penicillin for the lovelorn." "Come on." " Come on, let's go." " Don't you have a plane to catch?" "I can always get one tomorrow." "Or the next day, or the next day." "There's no place I'd rather be." "I'm sorry, sweetie."

"Last season on Weeds." "He died of a heart attack." "We had a good fit." "I wonder how she's getting by." "I'm the biggest game in the private community of Agrestic." "Drugs sell themselves, biscuit." "You ain't shit." "I have two boys." "I'm not with them enough." "Shane shot a mountain lion, he even wrote a gangsta rap, now he's making terrorist videos." " Is this your son?" " Silas." "We caught him and his girlfriend high on something." " Where is Megan?" " She's out in the car, and won't respond to any questions." "She's deaf." "You fucking better." " Uncle Andy!" " Yes, I'm digging the love." "Took me years to learn slightly defective chicks are the way to go." "I once went out with this girl with a baby arm." "Insane in the sack." "Plus when she grabbed my dick with her little hand, it looked gigantic." "Everything you touch turns to shit." "Whatever you think about me, Judah was my brother and I have your back." "You need some help." "I'm not a dealer," "I'm a mother who happens to distribute illegal products through a sham bakery set up by my ethically questionable CPA." "You're on the goddamn City Council." "What if someone like Celia walked by?" "Raging bitch." "Yeah, I want to see more running out there, Isabelly." "I have cancer." "Puppies are coming off, Nance." "Nice haircut." "It's a wig." "Oh, right." "The cancer." " Hey, boss." " I was just about to leave." "I think you're really, really pretty." "When did you start smoking?" " Fuck." " Hey!" "I got jacked by some campus cop at Valley State." "This is yours." "I wanted to apologize." "I'm sure you didn't tell him to beat the tar out of little Mr. Security Guard." "You did that?" "So you want to keep on doing business over here, you gonna do it with me and Vaneeta." " That's called a runway." " That's called at'aint, t'aint ass and t'aint equipment." "Hey, Lupita, what do you call the thing between the dick and the asshole?" "The coffee table." " They want to send me to Iraq, Lupita." " Bye." "Full-time students working toward becoming ordained ministers in a recognized religion are deferred from military service." "Once you go rabbi, you never go bye-bye." "Mazel tov." "In order for us to grow, we have to grow." "We don't need no land." "It's hydro." " All we need is warehouse space." " Enough." "You work for me." " What's that?" " 60 days to harvest, 10 days to cure, hydro." "Get rid of this fucking bakery and let us start a business." " Heylia will never speak to you again." " Fuck Heylia." "I don't want to choose between my business and my family." "I want a raise." "Well, we may not take them, but we sure do sell them." "You got to be honest with your family about your business." " What's going on outside?" " I invited some friends over." "We're going to grow marijuana." "Distribution, meet Finance," "Sales, Legal, Yentl." "If I have to pay for tetanus, I would be thrilled to pay for it." "I'm Peter." "You're cute." "I would really like to see you again, if ever you're ready." "Nancy?" "Just a minute." "God, you're beautiful." "Come here." "Mom?" "Mom?" " Checking for monsters?" " What?" "Oh, oh." "No, I can't find my shoe...sandal." "It's a sandal." "So I'm guessing no breakfast." "No." "I'm not really a breakfast person." "I have to have coffee in the morning, but after that I'm good till lunch usually." "Sometimes I have a bagel around 10:30." "I'll make you some coffee." "No." "I should go home." "Found it." "You have big feet." "Why do you have a gun in your dresser?" "Were you snooping?" "My feet used to be smaller, but I went up a size with each kid." "It's just sitting there in your dresser." "I saw it when I went to pee." "I like your big feet." "They're not like Fred Flintstone feet." "They're just long." "What do you do, exactly, for a living?" "I'm a DEA agent." " You never said anything." " You never asked." "And it's not really a job that you advertise." "I need to go home." "No, no, no, no." "Come on." "Wait." " Wait a second." " Oh, God, you're naked." "So were you until a few minutes ago." "Yeah, but now it's daytime, and I'm all dressed and Methodist." "Well, I need a goodbye kiss, or I'll feel cheap and used." " Should we make another date now?" " I'll call you." " Did my gun freak you out?" " Yes." " The one in the dresser, right?" " Goodbye." "I mean, look at this." "We're never getting out of here." "Could you turn on the radio?" "I have called the City Council office over and over about putting in a light here." "Radio?" "No, I can't have noise right now." "I'm too annoyed." " What are you doing?" " I'm hungry." "Please." "Don't think I didn't see you eating and drinking every single sample in the store, miss." "I can't believe they didn't cut you off after the seventh chai latte." " Those cups are tiny." " Yeah." "Unlike you." " Put the pretzels back." " No." " Then give me the bag." " No." " I am throwing them out." " No, you're not." "Stop!" "Shit." "Oh, great." "Just perfect." "Shit." "God damn it." " Oh." " Oh, no." "She be so angry." "Oh, no, no." "This is not your fault." "Oh, sí, you tell the missus it's your fault." "No." "It's not my fault, either." "Sí, is your fault." "Please you tell her, or she make me sleep with the dog and the corn snake." "There needs to be a traffic light right here." "Oh, that snake, it eat dead rat, and she make me kill the rat." "Doug Wilson and his merry band of idiots, just sitting up there doing nothing!" " Asshole!" " She love this car." "Every month she pay more for this car than for me." "And I have no license." "You have no license?" "Oh, that's fabulous." "Are you even legal?" "What's your name?" "Wait, wait, wait." "Let me get a pen." "Stay right here." "Who's your missus, your lady?" " Mom?" " One second." " But..." "No." "Mom." "Mom!" " One second!" " Oh, shit." " Thank you." "Do you realize if I married a non-Jew, I couldn't go to rabbinical school?" "I can go if I'm gay and my lover's Jewish." "I can go if I'm single." "But I'm not eligible if I marry a beautiful shiksa with blond, silky pubes, waxed into the shape of a shamrock." "Doesn't that seem fucked up to you?" "You know, I mean, more than half of all American Jews marry outside the tribe." "Clearly, there's a problem." "And yet when a Jewish person is interested in pursuing his or her religious calling, if he or she fell in love with someone outside the faith and, Lord knows, we don't always choose who to love," "that Jew is turned away." "How was your sleepover?" "Yeah, how was your sleepover, Nancy?" "Did you think to let anyone know you were taking off for the night?" "Yes, I did." "Both Andy and Lupita knew how to get in touch with me, and I don't have to defend my actions to my teenage child." "I got scared." "Oh, honey, you were asleep." "I woke up." "Sweetie, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to make you nervous, okay?" "I was just at a friend's house." "The dishwasher's broken." "Lupita!" "Maybe if you spent a little more time around here, you might know that." "Would you please do the dishes?" "Machine is broke." "I know that." "That's why I'd like you to do the dishes." " Oh, no." " What do you mean, no?" "Makes my hands crack." "You need to get the machine fixed." "Maybe I need to get a new housekeeper." "Maybe you have too much love and trust for me to ever let me go." "Call the repair guy and get him over here as soon as possible." "Okay." "So is this gonna be a regular thing with you?" "What is with your tone?" "Morning." "You're not wearing any pants." "That's okay." "I'm almost a rabbi." "Yeah." "Shane's not, and you're a lawsuit waiting to happen." "Go upstairs, put some clothes on." "Sorry." "Lupita, would you get that, please?" "I didn't say that Megan could sleep over." " They didn't do much sleeping." " Excuse me?" "Shut up, you spying perv!" "I was looking for mom." "It was an accident, an amazing accident." "I don't even want to know." "You didn't tell me she couldn't sleep over." " Come on, Nancy." " Stop calling me Nancy." "My name is mom, or mommy dearest." ""For beautiful Nancy with the long, elegant feet." ""Don't be afraid." "Peter."" " Feet?" " Nice work, mommy dearest." "Oh, dear God." "Were you mean to your mother when you were a teenager?" "I didn't live with my mom, I lived with Heylia." "And you don't pull that shit with Heylia." "I want my kids to fear me." "You could do what my mom did." "Which was?" "She shot me in the leg." "Are you serious?" "She shot me in the leg and I am afraid of that woman now." "Was she on drugs?" "My mom never did a drug a day in her life." "My mom was a drunk." "One night she thought that I was my pops." "That's how we got into the whole drug game." "The painkillers I was getting from the doctor was making me sleep all the time, so Heylia switched me to weed and started meeting people in the industry." "Before that, she worked at Price Club." "Hey, team, you solve all our problems yet?" "Might shoot Silas in the leg." "Look, right now, if we liquidated everything, got ourselves out of the lease, we're looking at maybe half of what we need to start growing marijuana." "Well, what about insurance?" "You got some kind of sneaky arson plot" " Behind them crazy eyes?" " Could we?" "Baby, that shit only work on The Sopranos." "And I will guarantee you that the fire chief is better at investigating arson than you are at committing it." "You are a drug dealer." "Not a firebug." "Why do you get to call Nancy "baby" and I don't?" "Black thing." "Fine." "Can I get a little help here, please?" "Anyway..." " Baby, we got some problems." " Yeah." "Did I mention I slept with a DEA agent last night?" "I'm not going to jail for you." "Fuck this." "I'm out." " Conrad, he doesn't know." " You can kiss this nigger goodbye." "My kid bit his kid's foot in karate." "How could he plan that?" "It's just a totally fucked-up, random thing." "He came right out and told me what he does for a living." " He doesn't know." " Fuck "he doesn't know."" "And even if he doesn't, he will." "And me, I'm gonna be gone." "Do not come around Heylia's." "Do you hear me?" "You have stepped in shit and you ain't gonna track it through my house." "Conrad, I won't talk to him anymore." "It's too late." "Okay, okay." "Hey." "Are you angry 'cause I fucked a DEA agent or because I fucked somebody else?" "Oh, wow." "You think this about your arrogant ass." "Let me tell you something." "We wouldn't be having this conversation right now if you'd have fucked a travel agent." "Get out my way." "I have asked in every way that I know how." "You have repeatedly ignored my requests." "But it does not change the fact that there needs to be a light at the intersection." "It's a matter of public safety." "What is?" " The light." " Celia, lights cost money." "Yes." "Isn't that what the budget is for, Doug?" "All of our money has been allocated for the year." "We're renovating this chamber here." "Haven't you seen the plans?" "I mean, come on." "We got, like, a full kitchen going in back there." "So I pay my taxes so you can have a kitchen?" "And a parade." "And the balance of what we owe the branding firm for the new town slogan," ""Agrestic, the best of the bestic," huh?" "And a lot of other stuff." "A lot of other stuff, too." "Now, if that's everything," "I want to go home and watch the game and drink a little bit." " It's adjourned." " Oh, hey, Mitch, your turn to bring snacks next week." "I think I speak for everyone when I say vegetarian pigs in the blanket are bullshit." "Celia." "I'm sorry." "Although I do think that counts as a touchdown." "Double espresso Americano." "Want a shot of Jack in that?" "Oh, I read that." "Great article about injecting human growth hormone to stay young." "Except they never say where they're getting it from." "Makes you wonder if they're sucking the youth out of small, brown children somewhere, so that actors and trophy wives can stay in business." "I was serious about the shot." "You want?" "Actually, I do." "It's been one of those days." "So you heard about my accident, right?" "And I just got humiliated at City Council by the fuckhead, Doug Wilson." " So what's up with you?" " Just life, kids." " Baking." " You need to get laid." "Frankly, so do I." "You seeing anyone?" "Maybe we could share." "You should run for City Council." "Doug would lose his mind." "Oh, I didn't mean run for Doug's seat." "Yeah, but Doug's seat is up this year." "Maybe it was a bad idea." "No, I think it's a perfectly great idea." "Show that asshole that he can't treat people like shit and ignore their totally reasonable requests." "I'm running for City Council." "Thank you, Nancy." "I feel so much better now." "So basically, my whole life's been leading up to this, to here, to the rabbinate." "You know, it's my true calling." "And as far as the Hebrew goes, I'm a really quick study." "I know all the baruch atahs already, and I know the word for jellyfish is meduzot." "And gilda, that's ice cream." "Do you know what "lezeyan besechel" means?" "As in," "No." "I don't think I know that one." "Okay." "So this has been very amusing." "I wish you all the best in your life, and now I'm done." " Wait." "What?" "I'm in?" " You talk a lot." "That's a wonderful quality in a rabbi, no?" "And yet you say nothing." "Israeli snap!" "That's okay, I can take it." "Resiliency is another excellent rabbinic trait." "Time for you to go." "Okay?" "Goodbye." "Okay." "Good." "Thanks for your time." "I guess I'm gonna have to look for another rabbinical school, one that respects my ambition, one that recognizes my talent." "Yes." "Our loss." "Good luck to you." "I'm begging you." "This is the end of the road for me." "If you don't let me into your school, I'm gonna be killed." "Really?" "Someone holding a gun to your head, saying, "Be a rabbi or die"?" "Actually, yeah." "You're my last chance, Yael Hoffman, director of admissions." "I beseech you." "My life is in your hands." "You have five minutes to explain yourself, and no more bullshit." "And I'm wearing a bra, so stop looking for my nipples." "That..." "How'd you know?" " Four minutes, 50 seconds." " Okay." "I didn't care what shit was going on." "Every night, we had family dinner." "We were talking about our day, arguing, or giving each other the stink eye." "Whatever, we were all here." "All sorts of studies talk about how family dinner is like Super Glue, holds you together and fixes everything that's broke." " Yep." "Higher test scores, less depression." " You guys are better than NPR." "Oh, we the original NPR, Negroes Preaching Right." "And if dinner don't work, you need to smack some sense into that boy." "I'm not much for smacking." "Just don't be his bitch." "Now, you pushed him out your hooch." "You can push him out your house." "You the boss." "Let's see." "You want Gruyère or smoked Gouda?" "Smoked Gouda." " Here you go." " So is Conrad around?" "Now, you about to lose your panini." "You know you ain't friends no more." "Them's the rules." "I just thought..." " He out buying me a breast pump." " I hope he's getting you electric." "The manual takes forever." "Shit." "Did we say electric or manual?" "We didn't say nothing." "And don't think once you start pumping that I'm going to sit up in this house, while you out there showing off your brand-new titties." "I got a life, too, you know." " What the hell is she doing here?" " Is that the manual?" "No." "See, you gonna have to take that back." "I need the..." "What do I need?" " The Pump In Style." " Pump In Style." "Electric." "Oh, this looks delicious, Heylia." "Can I try the Gruyère next time I come?" "Ain't gonna be no next time." "Heylia, Conrad's talking to me and he's not supposed to." "That's right." "Boy, get your black ass back out to that store," " And get this girl the..." " Pump In Style." "The Pump In Style." "And here, take this." "Look, go on." "All right." "So what about, "Celia Hodes." "It's time for change"?" "And then we show a big clock, and, like, instead of numbers, there are nickels and dimes and quarters." "Get it?" "Time for change." "Isn't that cute?" " Yeah, that's retarded." " That is not very nice." "I have a nephew who's retarded and he has to wear a helmet." "Where are the other girls?" "Didn't we say 4:30?" " They're not coming, Celia." " What do you mean, they're not coming?" "No, no, no, no, this is about Agrestic." "I am so clearly more qualified than Doug Wilson." "They all take stripper fitness class with Doug's wife, Dana." "It's a whole bonding thing." "Stripper fitness class?" "Kenneth doesn't like me to do it, 'cause he thinks I'll go lesbo on him, like when I took folk guitar." " Hello, ladies." "How's the election planning?" " Oh, fine." "Trying to find a slogan." "No, no, no, no." "That's grown-up juice." "Not for you." "Well, when can I have some grown-up juice?" "When you have a daughter who drives you to it." "Celia, just want to give you a heads-up that Doug knows you're running against him in the election." "And I care because?" "He seemed pretty upset, especially when I told him I couldn't be his campaign manager this time." " Why not?" " Why not what?" "Why can't you be his campaign manager?" "Because you're running." "I..." "I just assumed that..." " Am I your campaign manager?" " No." "How dare you?" "I run unopposed." "This is my thing." "Get your own thing." "Well, I tried to get my own thing." "A light at the mall and Hillcreek Road." "But when that thing didn't work out, I switched to this thing." "I'm hoping in the end to get both things." " I'm City Councilman Doug!" " Not after the next election, you're not." "So you're telling me you don't want me to work on your campaign?" " I want to win." " Fuck you." "Dean, there's a child present." "Don't call me a child." "I'm a civic leader and you're not taking that away from me." "She was talking about me." " Doug, I am so on your side." " Thank you, compadre." "And I would be honored to be your campaign manager." " We'll see." " What do you mean, we'll see?" "You know, do you think that you can take this pussy party somewhere else?" "'Cause we're trying to work here." "Dad can't say "fuck," but you can say "pussy"?" " I'll be in my room." " Let's go." " You will rue the day." " Yeah, yeah, yeah, rue my ass." " There's not enough rue." " Come on." "How about, "Celia Hodes." "Making friends"?" "What's up?" "Dinner in 10 minutes." "I'm not hungry." "I just had Veggie Booty." "Well, you're gonna sit with us anyway." "Family dinner, so wash up." " The repair guy didn't come?" " He was gonna come today." "I was out." "Lupita had a hair appointment." "So he'll be here tomorrow." "Hey, what's in the bag?" " Family dinner, all of us." " Yeah." "I got work to do, Nance." "Clear your crap off the table." "Oh, I told Megan I'd eat at her place." "Well, call and tell her not tonight." "I made plans." "Well, I bought chicken and you're my son and you're going to sit down and we're going to eat, so call her." "Funny." " Take the phone." " Mom." "We're gonna have a family dinner." "You are a member of this family." "Take the phone." "Call your girlfriend, now!" "Silas, get your ass in this chair before I kick it from here to Tuesday." "Andy, set the table." "Game over." "Wash your hands." "So help me God, I've had it!" "We're gonna be a family if I have to kill all of you!" "Do you hear me?" " Fine." "I'll eat twice." " Eat seven times." "I don't care." "As long as you eat once with us." "You're really invested in this chicken, aren't you?" "Shut up!" "See?" "Nice." "Dinner." "So how was everyone's day?" "I got a B on my French test." "Oh, très bien." " Silas?" " I take Spanish." " Did you get any tests back today?" " No." "I'm writing about what being a Jew means to me." "If I write well, I'll be accepted into rabbinical school." "And if I don't, I'll be shipped overseas to die." "So far I've written," ""Being a Jew means I have no foreskin, and I may be a Tay-Sachs carrier."" "So I think I'm gonna die." "What's Tay-Sachs?" "It's a fatal genetic lipid-storage disorder, prevalent among European Jews." "You don't have to worry about it." "If you had it, you'd already be dead." " Cool." " See?" "Look how we're learning new things." "We're not going to answer the phone during dinner." "I mean it." "Hello." "You've reached the Botwins." "We're not home right now, but if you leave us a message, we'll come home right away." "Nancy?" "Hi." "It's Sanjay." "I thought you might want to know that the bakery is on fire." "Okay." "Bye." "So it looks like your employee was firing up an oven when his cigarette lit a gas line." "Negligence and stupidity, pure and simple, ma'am." " He could've been killed." " I hope you're insured." "Does insurance cover an employee's negligence and stupidity?" "You'll have to check with your carrier." "Something tells me you're covered."

"I'm exploring the fascinating world of plants, from the most bizarre to the most beautiful." "With new techniques and in 3D, we can unravel their deepest secrets." "We can move from our time scale to theirs." "We can see how they struggle with one another," "how they get help from some animals but have the battle with others, and survive against the odds." "And we can watch all these dramas taking place in a way that is impossible in the wild in one unique institution." "the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew." "In this living laboratory, we can discover plants' most extreme adaptations for survival" "and we can glimpse Kew's tiny weapons in the battle to protect the future of all plants - seeds." "Kingdom of Plants with David Attenborough" "Ever since plants first moved out of water and colonized the land, they've advanced into drier and drier places and evolved specially set-up adaptations in order that they can do so." "Today, deserts cover about a third of the land's surface of the earth and they are spreading rapidly." "But some plants have developed some truly extraordinary strategies to enable them to survive in the driest of places." "Survival" "In deserts where water is scarce, one major strategy is to remain passive during the day when temperatures soar and only become active in the cool of the night." "This desert in Kew's Princess of Wales Conservatory contains plants from every regions all around the world." "And in mid-summer, one plant here does something truly astonishing." "Don't be deceived by the shrivel untidy appearance of this cactus." "This, in fact, one of the most remarkable members of the cactus family, is called Hylocereus " ""the Queen of the Night"." "It lives in Mexico where, during the summer midday, the temperatures can reach a crippling 50 degrees centigrade." "So during the day, it doesn't do much." "But once a year, for one night only, it becomes a thing of astounding beauty." "The flowers usually open on a night of the full moon." "And as they do so, they give off a smell which attracts night flying animals, large and small." "And as they get nearer, they can see the great white flowers, bright in the light of full moon." "And they go to them to sip the nectar and, in doing so, pollinate the cactus." "It might seem strange, even risky for the plant to restrict its flowering to just one night of the year." "But this strategy works for Hylocereus." "Its flowers are the biggest and brightest around and they offer its pollinators a nectar banazar " "bats." "With the aid of technology, we can imagine them, thousands of miles from their natural habitat, here in Kew." "Bats pollinate all kinds of cacti." "In spring time in Southern American deserts, there is always a cactus of one kind or another in bloom." "A multitude of species compete for the attentions of nocturnal pollinators using bright pedals and powerful scent." "The sweetest perfumes attract insects." "But flowers that are pollinated by bats are rather more pungent." "They give off the stench of rotting fruit." "To nectar feeding bats, that smell is irresistible." "They fly from cactus to cactus, sipping out the nectar." "Each bat can consume more one and a half times its bodyweight of nectar." "in a single night." "Very tall columnar species, produce flowers right to the very top of their stems where they are easily smelt and seen, and easily reached." "Some provide additional facilities." "Espostoa guentheri from Bolivia sprouts a landing strip beneath its flowers, a pat of fur on which the bats can alight without damaging their wings on the spines." "But in Mexico, bats and cacti have a even more extraordinary relationship." "Each year, bats migrate across 1,000 miles of desert from central Mexico to Arizona." "Pregnant females, 100,000 of them, are on their way to special maternity caves in the north where they will give birth to their young." "The bats get all the nectar they need to sustain their journey and in return, they pollinate the cacti." "This annual bat migration coincide exactly with the blooming of the night flowering cacti, so the bats can fly along a nectar corridor," "and so can cross a patch of desert that, otherwise and at other times, would be impossible for them." "By the time the bats return with their pups, the cacti are able once again to provide the bats with food, this time, their fruits." "The bats carry with them in their stomach the fruit and the seed it contains." "And in due course, they deposit those seeds with a nice little package of fertilizer farther down the corridor." "So the corridors are self perpetuating." "The bats, in effect, are cactus farmers." "Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about these night blooming cacti is that, just a few hours after the flowers burst open, they begin to close." "By the time the sun appears, they have already wilted and died." "This is all part of their survival strategy." "The closed pedals form a protective shield around the newly pollinated seeds locking vital moisture inside." "The light of a new day reveals the bizarre nature of dry zone plants." "These are surely some of the oddest looking species there are." "And their strange shapes are a direct response to the harsh conditions." "These plants will stay in the baking sun to collect the light they need, but they must also retain their moisture." "Many do that by turning either their green stems or their waxy leaves into reservoirs." "This extraordinary cactus from Mexico is covered in thick white hair." "It's called "the old man"." "This fur not only provides shade, but restricts the circulation of the air around the surface of the stem and that reduces water loss." "In even hotter and drier climates, some plants avoid the sun all together." "This is Fenestraria - the window plant." "It grows in the Kalahari Desert with most of its body buried beneath the soil." "Only the blunt flat tips of its leaves are exposed." "Each contains tiny lenses which transmit the sunlight down through the vertical leaf on to its green photosynthesizing cells." "Some desert plants that live in exceptionally hot dry conditions take even more drastic measures." "Leaves are very thin and have a large surface area so they lose a lot of moisture in heat." "And many desert plants have done without them all together." "Instead the valuable green pigment develops in the stems." "And desert stems are often very thick and swollen and that enables a plant to store water in them." "Not only that, but some desert plants have pleats in these stems so that when there is sudden rainstorm, those ridges can suck up all the moisture while it is there and expand in order to hold it." "The stems of some of these species swell to such a degree that they become almost spherical." "A sphere has the minimum surface area for any given volume and that enables the plant to hold as much water as possible." "This one is Copiapoa from northern Chile where it never rains at all." "But, in fact, it doesn't need it." "Under a microscope, you can see why." "There are thousands of tiny jagged structures on which the morning dew condenses so that the plant can collect it." "But the ultimate is this plant." "It's hidden between these light colored pebbles " "Blossfeldia from Argentina." "This is the only flowering plant that can withstand total desiccation for months on end." "And then with a shower of rain or a little bit of water, it comes to life and produces a tiny little flower." "This ability to wait for the right conditions is the trump card that enables many plants to survive in the dry zone." "In many deserts, plants must endure months, sometimes, years, of drought." "They do it by slowing down their metabolism and going into a state of virtual dormancy." "But when rains finally arrive, plants like these suddenly come to life." "Their dried out tissues absorb water like sponges." "And once expanded, they use the moisture to grow." "This primitive wakeless plant from the Chihuahuan Desert in Mexico is a spikemoss, Selaginella." "It's also called "the resurrection plants"" "because its ability to seemingly come back from the dead." "Rain starts a complex biochemical change in its cells that enables it to ramp up its metabolism and grow very quickly while it can." "But the most spectacular consequence of rain in the desert is an explosion of color." "Desert flowers are as colorful as any of the world." "They have to attract pollinators quickly before the deserts dry out once again." "But moisture in the soil could evaporate almost as quickly as it arrives and after a brief bloom, they die." "Desert plants could only grow when the conditions are right and that maybe only for a few short periods in the year." "So many desert plants take a long time to reach full size." "That agave there, for example, is over 40 years old." "But during that time, it has manufactured food and gathered water and stored them in its great fat leaves, but it's not yet adult." "This one is." "This agave has started to withdraw that water and food from it leaves." "So now, they are beginning to crumple and wilt." "And it uses that food to fuel the growth of this huge mast-like stem that grows from its center and will carry the flowers." "And it reaches its full height at extraordinary speed." "It can grow by a quarter of a meter everyday." "It reaches such a height that here in Kew's glass house, panes have to be removed from the root to let it through." "This infrequently flowering has given this species of agave a nick name " ""the century plant"." "So why does the agave produce this huge tall mast?" "Well, some plants are pollinated by insects and you attract insects with smell." "But this plant is pollinated by birds - humming birds." "And birds have little or no sense of smell." "To attract them, you have to exploit their very sharp sight." "You have to produce flowers that are very bright and put them right at the top of a prominent tall mast." "Growing at such a rate demands considerable effort." "For the agave, it's terminal." "The act of producing that mast is the last act in this plant's life." "Having done it and been pollinated, it dies." "Thanks to their extraordinary survival strategies, desert plants are able to thrive in places where others would die." "But that makes them the focus of much unwanted attention." "As a downside to success for a desert plant, the more water it stores, the more tempting it is for a thirsty animal to try and steal it." "So desert plants have to have good defenses." "The techniques they use can tell us something about the herbivores that try to feed on them." "This Echinopsis from Argentina develops long strong spines as a defense against large grazing animals - llamas." "But such defenses also provide hiding places where an insect or a spider can keep out of harm's way." "There are other ways in which a plant can protect itself." "You can disguise yourself, so you become virtually invisible as these stone plants have done." "These are not pebbles as you might think." "They are living plants." "These are lithrobs from the deserts of Africa and their markings closely match their surroundings." "What's more, they are varying color according to the rocks on which they grow." "That's growing on pale rocks, and those on reddish rocks." "Or you can load the water you contain with a particularly strong chemical which animals might find distasteful." "This is the Peyote plant from Mexico." "And its sap not only puts off animals, but has the property of suppressing pain, so the local people use it for that purpose and also in their religious rituals for it's also hallucinogenic." "In colder regions, pine trees also have to conserve water for during the winter water in the soil is frozen and so beyond their reach." "Little evaporate their leaves because they have been reduced to stiff tough needles." "Like cacti, they also produce distasteful chemicals." "The distinctive smell that you sense when you walk among pine trees come from volatile oils that the trees produce in their leaves." "It's a form of defense." "Most insects can't bear it, but one can - the pine aphid." "When that attacks, however, the pine trees have a second line of defense." "They produce that volatile oil from the cuts made by the insects in even greater quantity and that crucially changes the nature of the smells around the trees." "Aphids infestation triggers a complex chain reaction from the pines." "Each time an aphid bites, the pine releases oily vapor from the wound which fills the surrounding air." "This triggers the release of further volatiles from other branches, even other trees." "The effect multiplies until eventually whole forests become coat in pine scent." "This scent cloud attracts predatory ladybirds." "They are as sensitive to it as sharks are to blood." "This is the eyed ladybird and it preys on pine aphids." "It locates an infestation by following the trail of volatiles." "And once there, it makes short work of the prey." "It's a mutually beneficial arrangement." "The ladybird gets an easy meal and the pine tree gets rid of a pest." "Some dry zone plants use oils to defend themselves from other dangers, not from insects but other plants." "This is a eucalyptus, famous for the oil in its leaves." "It produces that oil in such quantity that, under certain conditions, it can form a blue haze above the tree." "In fact, the Blue Mountains of New South Wales in Australia get their name from the haze that hangs over eucalyptus forests sometimes." "When the leaves fall to the ground and rot, the oil leaches out into the soil." "And then, reinforced by more oil secreted by the roots, it acts as an inhibitor that prevents other seeds of other plants from growing around its base, so reducing competition for the eucalyptus." "Another species uses oils in a different way" "and a more dramatic one." "If the temperature raises to 32 degrees centigrade, those substances in the leaves of this Cistus plant from the Mediterranean can spontaneously burst into flame." "The flames reduce the Cistus to a cinder and the plant itself will never recover." "But this is not a disastrous accident." "The Cistus has evolved to burn." "Such extraordinary sacrifice ensures a different kind of survival - survival of its offspring." "The flames will also destroy all other plants from the surrounding area" "and this gives the Cistus the chance to extend its territory." "From the ashes, a new generation of Cistus quickly rises." "Cistus seeds escape damage because they are enclosed in flame-resistant capsules." "Further more, the spurt stimulates their germination." "It has taken millions of years for such complex adaptations as this to evolve." "But today, plants of the dry zone and beyond face a new threat." "From rainforests to mountain ranges, the evidence is that plants across the world are disappearing in variety and number faster than at any other time in the earth history." "Human beings are taking over more and more of the world's wild places," "but human intervention can also be the key to their future survival." "Kew is at the forefront of the effort." "Its unique facilities enable scientists here to both measure the loss of species and work out how to prevent extinctions before it's too late." "And a crucial resource in that battle is held in this building " "the Herbarium." "Its collection of preserved and dried specimens contains samples of 90 percent of all known plant specimens on earth." "Here, almost unbelievably, there are records of every single specimen ever sent to Kew." "It was founded in 1853." "Now, staff process about 50,000 specimens that are sent every year from all over the world." "It contains about eight million specimens." "It's the biggest repository of botanical data in the world and Kew's major weapon in the battle to save the plants of the planet." "This vast databank plays a vital part in monitoring the global health of plants." "It's run by curator David Mabberley." "This herbarium, eight million specimens, is actually a record of the vegetation of the earth through time." "There are something which had gone completely extinct and so all that is known of them is just some herbaria specimens." "For example, this is a relation of the olive, which was known only from one island off the coast of California." "And it hasn't been seen since 1873." "Really?" "Even then, there were only three and that's all that we've got left now." "Goodness!" "These specimens, though, are referred to, aren't they?" "For identification." "Yes, these are the standards." "And the ones which are in these red folders like this are actually the ones upon which the original description of a plant was made, the so-called type specimen." "And therefore this is the kind of gold standard." "If anybody really wants to know what is meant by a particular plant name, they must refer to the type specimen." "The path to saving endangered species often begins here." "For example, back in 1874, this specimen was sent back from the Island of Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean of a tree they called the Cafe Marron - a kind of coffee." "It was preserved here, given a Latin name and put in the Herbarium." "And then, about 50 years later, people on Rodrigues realized that Cafe Marron had disappeared." "Then, in 1979, someone found a plant." "Was it, was it not Cafe Marron?" "A specimen was sent here, compared with this specimen and indeed it proved with the case." "So, for that single plant, a cutting was taken and sent here to Kew for propagation." "From that single cutting, horticulturists grew a handful of clone specimens." "But although they flowered frequently, they never produced viable seed." "Without the ability to reproduce, the Cafe Marron was still doomed." "So the plant earned the nickname" ""the living dead"." "The daunting challenge of rescuing it was taken up by endangered plant specialist " "Carlos Magdalena." "After several months of experimentation with heat and light, he finally managed to induce the plant to produce seed." "But when they germinated, the young plants had leaves so unlike the Cafe Marron he knew, he thought he must have made a mistake." "That's quite different from Cafe Marron." "It's rather different, isn't it?" "Different color, different leaf shape." "So, were you surprised?" "Well, I was surprised in the way that I've never seen them before." "This strange plant looks nothing like the herbaria sample." "At first, nobody could be sure that was even the same species." "But as it grew, it changed and eventually, it morphed into a recognizable adult plant." "But what is the reason for this dramatic change as the Cafe Marron matures?" "The answer is camouflage." "This is the most famous inhabitant of the Island of Rodrigues - a giant tortoise." "It loves bananas." "Go on." "But they also likes green leaves and that's their main food." "So any plant growing close to the ground has very little chance of survival while creatures like this are going around eating them." "And that's the clue to the mystery of the Cafe Marron." "When it's small, it produces leaves that are very thin and not even green." "And the tortoise whose eyesight is not very good doesn't even see it." "So he takes very little notice of leaves like these and the Cafe Marron can grow." "As it grows, it becomes a bit bigger and still its leaves are thin and dark and rather inconspicuous." "And it's not until it's really quite tall does the Cafe Marron plant produce its proper green leaves and its flowers." "But by that time, it's well beyond the reach of a giant tortoise." "So that is the solution to the Cafe Marron mystery that the plant produces two different leaves as a defense of being eaten." "The Cafe Marron's survival is tribute to the skills developed here in Kew." "But it is just one species." "The ultimate aim is to safeguard all remaining plant species." "And the maybe-way of doing that by using these extraordinary structures - seeds." "A 3D microscope magnifies them up to 200 times and reveals how extraordinary complex the surface of a seed can be." "No two species are the same." "These images have been given artificial colors, but many of their shapes are beyond explanation." "Some structures, however, have a clear function." "They help the seed to achieve one of its main purposes - to travel." "Many seeds rely on animal couriers." "The American Stickseed attaches itself to the fur or skin of passing animals with hooks or barb spikes." "The amazing sticking structures of such hitchhikers inspired the invention of Velcro." "Some seeds carry a little package of nutritious fat which persuades an ant to take it back to its underground nest where the seed having surrendered its fatty reward to the ants can germinate in safety." "The seeds of orchids are miniscule and produced in their millions." "They blow away like dust." "In contrast, this much bigger seed has a large flat membrane which serves as a wing so that it can float great distances on the wind." "Other wind disperse seeds like the yellow paintbrush have a honey cone texture." "Such complex sculpturing enables seeds to catch the slightest wind current and ride thermos traveling long distances from their mother plants." "But these images also reveal the incredible toughness of the seed's outer capsule." "This strength's maybe the key to the survival of all plants for seeds can survive all kinds of hardship." "This plant is called the pincushion." "and grows in South Africa." "And this individual specimen is something of a miracle." "In 1803, a British man of war captured a Dutch merchantman coming back from the Cape of Good Hope." "And on board, in the cargo, they found a pack of seeds." "When they got back to Britain, the seeds went to the trial of London for quite a long time." "But eventually, they found their way here to Kew." "And one of them, germinated and produced this plant after 200 years, just shows how long seeds can survive even without help." "This ability to endure has inspired Kew's latest ground-breaking project." "Its ultimate goal is to ensure the survival of every remaining species of plant on earth." "The work takes place deep underground in a labyrinth of sealed vaults that are encased in steel and concrete." "It's called the Kew Millennium Seed Bank." "Its contents are so valuable that it was specifically designed to withstand the impact of a bomb or an air crash." "Inside these vaults, there are seeds gathered from plants all over the world." "In fact, as much as 10 percent of the world's known species are represented in there." "The heart of the Seed Bank Project is this gigantic freezer full of seeds in sealed jars." "The conditions inside are perfect for long term storage." "But the job is aided by the very nature of seeds." "The seed is the stage in which a plant can remain dormant waiting until conditions for germination are right." "Inside the seed, there is a store of food." "Outside, there's a tough protective shell to guard against predation or damage." "In fact, the seed is a kind of time capsule that can live for sometimes a decade, sometimes even centuries." "The aim of the Seed Bank is to prolong that period as long as possible." "To do that, they clean the seeds, dry them, put them in jars like this, and then keep them here at minus 20 degrees centigrade." "How long they will survive under these conditions?" "Nobody knows, but it's certainly going to be for a very long time." "New samples arrive for the Seed Bank everyday." "They are first identified and studied in microscopic detail by chief morphologist Dr. Wolfgang Stuppy." "The latest report from Israeli paints that date palm seeds have been found in King Herod the Great's palace in Masada and they germinated after 2,000 years." "So that is possible and this is the principle that naming "Seed Bank" is built upon." "that seeds can survive for millennium if necessary." "The longevity of most kinds of seeds is unknown, so they must be regularly checked." "Samples of seeds are periodically removed from the vaults and germinated" "If most grow, the whole batch will be left in the vaults for another decade." "And sometimes a sample fails, like these anemone seeds, which, although germinating in sterilized conditions, become chocked with fungus." "When this happens, the scientists must find out why and how to prevent it from happening again." "The Seed Bank Project is still in its infancy but the evidence is that there is no time to lose." "There are already seeds stored here from plants that are now extinct in the wild." "The problem is, well, many people don't understand, is that if a species got extinct, it means it's gone for us forever." "There were five mass extinctions in the earth history." "After every mass extinction, it took between 4 and 20 million years for biodiversity to bounce back to pre-extinction levels." "Now, clearly we cannot wait four million years for life to bounce back." "So if we don't keep seeds here and this plant species got extinct, it will be lost to mankind forever." "Thankfully, there is a great momentum behind the Seed Bank Project." "Over the next a few decades, these shelves will be filled to capacity." "There's enough space here to hold seed from every single species of plants on this planet." "But this place is not just an insurance policy against the ultimate apocalypse." "This is of huge value right now." "For whatever we discover that a plant is teetering on the brink of extinction, we can now boost its numbers with seeds from here and so ensure that no plant species on earth need go extinct." "There are an estimated 400,000 different species of plant on the planet." "We can't possibly understand the lives of each and every one of them." "But here at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, one of the birth places of scientific botany, we began to glimpse their extraordinary world." "Kew is still in the forefront of botanical research helping to ensure that we not only understand plants, but protect them in all their astonishing variety." "And here, we can see how plants in all habitats and environments are intricately connected with animals" "and with fungi." "Not only do plants give the world much of its beauty, they are indeed the very basis of all life on earth."

"Is that a stake in his heart?" "Looks like Buffy's visited the Big Apple." "Someone thought he was a vampire." "So did he." "And they're not plastic pop-ins either." "Are you telling me those are real?" "Or high-end veneers." "Or he's a vampire." "No I.D. No phone." "We got guys sweeping' the area for anything they can find." "No witnesses either." "(Lanie) looks like he struggled." "I'm thinking he hit his head on this stone" "Or someone knocked him in the head before he was stabbed." "Who would go to the trouble of killing someone that way?" "Lycans." "They've been at war with the vampires ever since lucian was murdered in the 15th century..." "Again, this is just theory."

"(squishing sound) oh." "Any idea as to who or..." "What he is?" "He's human, and the fangs are ceramic veneers." "But he has two fresh avulsions near the femoral artery." "Bite marks on his thigh?" "And I found these on his body." "They're synthetic." "Your killer was wearing a wig." "It can't be easy" "To drive a stake through someone's chest."

"Any match on the vic's prints?" "Nothing in the system, no hits with missing persons," "No I.D. But he has professional veneers." "Yeah." "So?" "I know the best fangmaster in the city."

"So what can I do for you?" "The master is in." "We're investigating a homicide, and our victim had some work done." "We were hoping you could help identify him." "Oh." "That's Crow." "I did his veneers about, uh, I don't know, two months ago." "Crow?" "Oh, people in the vampire fetish community, they give up their mundane names." "You're not gonna find any Daves or Chucks or Megs here." "He seemed like a nice kid." "What happened?" "That's what we're trying to figure out." "We were hoping you would have a legal name" "Or a billing address." "Sure." "Just, uh, let me look it up." "Thank you." "Castle, what are you doing?" "(muffled voice) Do these make me look immortal?" "Do you want to, uh, go get something pierced?" "No." "Do you?" "Uh, wow." "(woman) this is Matthew's apartment." "You'd think he'd be trouble," "But Matthew was a quiet kid, shy." "Had, you, uh, heard" "Or seen anything unusual lately?" "The vampire thing was a little weird," "But my first husband was a civil war reenactor." "So you tell me, which is weirder?" "(Castle) Ah, he was quite the artist." "(woman) yeah, but mostly comic books." "It reminds me of early Frank Miller." "Which Frank--Epic Comic or Dark Horse years?" "Oh, my god." "That is the sexist thing I ever heard you say." "I had no idea you were interested in comic books." "Oh, Castle." "The things you don't know about me could fill a book." "Hey." "Check this out." "He was developing a graphic novel." "He's talented." "Did Crow ever talk about his family?" "Well, he never mentioned any." "I just figured he was pretty much on his own, a loner." "It looks like he went to the Barker School of Design." "There's only a partial social." "But we should be able to track down his next of kin through the school." "He ever have any friends or visitors to his apartment?" "He brought a girl here once or twice." "She was one of them." "You could see them when she smiled." "They did have a big fight the other night." "She was screaming bloody murder." "What did she look like?" "Uh, she had long black hair, to her tush" "Long black hair?" "Ah." "Did you get a name?" "No." "He told me that she was famous or something." "Uh, he said she had her own web site on the internet." "Well, we could check his browser history."

"I used to go out with a girl who was into the lifestyle." "What happened?" "Did the relationship suck?" "(Castle) Oh!" "(laughs)" "The deal breaker?" "She wanted to have sex in a coffin." "I'm open-minded." "I'm not that open-minded." "(Beckett) All right." "Did our mistress of the night have a phone number or an address?" "Uh, only an e-mail." "However, there is information on the coven's next gathering," "Which meets tonight." "(beep)" "Damn." "You need a password." "Or an old girlfriend." "(laughs) Hey." "Whoa."

"(scoffs) What is this, some kind of joke?" "Let's go make fun of the vampires?" "It's not a joke." "No way." "What?" "(voice breaks) Who would want to kill Crow like that?" "We were hoping you could tell us." "Where were you last night between 11:00 P.M. and midnight?" "(normal voice) I was here." "W-wait." "You don't think I'm responsible?" "We found synthetic hairs on his body from a black wig and bites on his thigh." "But I didn't kill him." "He was one of my lovers." "So you saw him yesterday?" "Mid-afternoon." "He left at 3:30." "Oh, my god." "It's so awful." "Vixen." "He's really dead?" "We have a witness who told us that you were fighting recently." "Yeah, because he'd been seeing someone else." "Ultimately, we forgave him." "Yesterday, we were..." "Making up." "That's why you found my hair on him." "You said he was seeing someone else." "Daemon." "Daemon fell in love with Crow and his art" "And talked him into writing a graphic novel." "That's why he's dead." "Their graphic novel, "Blood Everlasting,"" "Is about a vampire in New York City." "Only the guy that they were basing it on was real and dangerous." "A real vampire?" "He thinks he is." "His name's Morgan Lockerby." "He was an original member of this coven, but something happened to him." "He lost all hold of reality." "He started believing that this was real." "N-now he only comes out at night and hangs out at the cemetery." "(sighs) It was just crazy." "How do we find this Lockerby?" "He's homeless, but Daemon probably knows." "Daemon have a last name?" "I don't know his real name." "He was Crow's boyfriend, not mine." "You know, what is it with these people and their dressing up like vampires" "The covens, the--the drama?" "Well, it's not about the costumes or the makeup." "A lot of the people who are committed to the fantasy are a little different." "They're just looking for a place to fit in." "Okay, that I get." "It's just this whole fascination with the macabre" "The drinking of the blood, the sharing of the blood, the, uh, having sex in coffins." "Mm." "Psychology 101--they probably had something happen to them when they were younger." "Maybe they saw their dog get hit by a car, attended an open-casket funeral, had a loss of a childhood friend or... parent." "(police radio chatter)" "Some people become vampires." "Some people become cops." "Okay." "Then where did your fascination with the macabre come from?" "What happened to you?" "(Esposito) yo." "That art school registration info?" "Court order from Barker came through for Matthew Freeman," "A.K.A. Crow." "His family's in Connecticut." "Phone number's there." "How'd it go at the club?" "Um, Morgan Lockerby." "Run him and see what you can find." "And see if you can find Crow's friend Daemon." "Does he have a last name?" "I'm not even sure that's his real first name." "(mutters)" "What?" "You guys are detectives." "Detect." "Good luck." "Thanks." "Are you okay?" "I-I hate this part." "It's the, uh, phone call that changes everything." "I could stay if you like." "Oh, no." "Thank you." "Sometimes it's easier without an audience." "(Beckett) Mr. and Mrs. Freeman, do you have any idea who would try to harm your son?" "No." "Matthew was very private about his life." "There was little we knew about his so-called friends." "Mom." "(man) I knew those people were dangerous." "I shoulda stopped him from getting involved." "Alan." "He was registered at the Barker School of Design." "Did he ever attend?" "No." "He--he dropped out." "And when was the last time you saw Matthew?" "It's been months since we've seen Matthew." "No, it was Crow now." "He came home." "He was dressed in black." "He had skulls tattooed on his arm... (voice breaking) eyeliner on his eyes, fangs." "I shoulda gotten tougher on him." "See?" "He was just a..." "A normal little boy." "And then he fell in love with art." "(sniffles) then he got moody and--and... (sniffles)" "He started hanging out with those people." "When did you hear from him last?" "He called a couple of days ago and he left a message." "(crying) and he sounded upset." "(Alan) but we never found out why." "(Esposito) tough one?" "Yeah." "They're all tough." "So you got anything?" "Yeah, Vixen's alibi checked out." "We've been talking to Crow's coven friends" "And searching through vampire web sites." "So far, no Daemon." "What about Lockerby?" "Morgan Lockerby-- psychiatric disorder, 35, committed by the state." "That's the good news." "Bad news is, he escaped a few years back." "Nobody's seen him since." "Got an address on file?" "No." "He's completely off grid." "What's your shadow doing?" "I don't know." "Last time I saw him, he was sifting through evidence from Crow's apartment." "Hmm." "So are you going?" "To what?" "His Halloween party." "I don't know." "He throws a lot of parties." "You?" "Are you kidding?" "I'm all over that." "Hmm." "What are you gonna wear?" "You want to know?" "You gotta show..." "To see what I got going on." "Hot on the case, Castle?" "On the case of a good read." "It's actually not bad." "Esposito found Morgan Lockerby." "You mean..." "Morlock." "Vixen was right." "You smell like cherries." "Hey, we got a hit on the..." "Are we interrupting something?" "Yes." "No." "Okay." "Wh-what'd you get a hit on?" "(clears throat)" "The, uh, prints from the stake in Crow's heart." "Your girl Vixen was right." "Morgan Lockerby." "Only thing is, he's one of the great unfindables." "No address, no phone number, no trail." "Maybe not." "Here." "Recognize that corner?" "That's Broome and Clinton, lower east side." "I think Crow may have drawn us a road map to Morlock." "(whispers) It's that way." "You gotta be kidding me." "(Ryan) You think he's in there?" "(Esposito) It is daytime." "If he thinks he's a vampire, that's where he'd be." "I'll cover you." "Together?" "All right." "On three." "Okay." "One..." "One..." "Two..." "Two..." "Three." "Three." "It's empty." "(laughs)" "(Ryan) you see him jump?" "(laughs) Real macho, Castle." "(laughs)" "Hey!" "Hey hey, hey, hey!" "Get him off!" "Get him off!" "Get him off me!" "Get him off of him." "Aah!" "He bit me." "Look!" "He is a vampire." "(groaning)" "(muttering)" "He's not a vampire." "But his skin burned when the light hit him." "He has porphyria." "Some people call it the vampire disease." "Its symptoms include extreme photosensitivity." "(muttering continues)" "The skin blisters when it's exposed to the sun." "Victims are prone to hallucinations, paranoia." "That explains his psych diagnosis." "Exactly how contagious is it?" "It's a genetic disease." "Besides, I put enough antibiotics on that bite to kill a small animal." "Now if we're done here, I gotta head back to the slab and see a man about a corpse." "Thank you, Dr. Parish." "Castle was totally freaked out." "You want to bite me?" "You buy me dinner." "(Morgan muttering)" "(muttering continues)" "Mr. Lockerby." "(mutters)" "(muttering)" "Morlock, do you know somebody named Crow?" "Heartless bitch!" "Spots all over." "S-spots all over." "Were you in the cemetery with Crow?" "Blood all over!" "Blood all over." "There's been a murder, Mr. Lockerby." "Do you understand that?" "(mutters) were you in the cemetery with Crow?" "We found a wooden stake with your fingerprints all over it." "Ah!" "The cat creeps in to kill the bird." "I should've buried you then, wicked boy." "I should've buried you then." "Can--I didn't see." "I didn't see." "I didn't see." "I don't want to tell the public defender how to do her job, but I'm gonna say that the insanity plea might be appropriate." "Maybe the state psychiatrist can help us make sense out of Morlock's rantings before they take him away." "(telephone rings)" "Beckett." "Okay." "Thanks." "That was the lab." "They were calling me to tell me that the smudge on the stake was India ink." "Morlock must have gotten some on his hands" "Going through a dumpster." "India ink?" "Yeah." "Why?" "India ink, or Chinese ink," "Has been used since 4th century B.C." "When it was called masi." "It's water-resistant, so it won't smudge when colored over." "It's also the ink used by letterers in comic books." "So if Crow was the illustrator..." "Then Crow's friend Daemon was the letterer." "But what would the ink be doing on the stake?" "What indeed." "You guys, where are we on the friend?" "We're working on it." "Yeah?" "Well, could you work a little faster?" "Hey, Castle, you wanna help?" "I would love to, but I have got bigger pumpkins to carve."

"Well, these were drawn by our victim." "I was wondering if they suggested anything about his relationship with Mr. Lockerby." "I'd have to study them more to give you a diagnosis, but these are more about the woman in the drawings than Lockerby." "What do you mean?" "He draws her as an angel, but always in the context of an act of violence." "Honestly?" "It looks to me like the work of someone who was once traumatized." "Uh, childhood trauma." "What'd I tell you?" "Doc Holloway, this is Richard Castle." "Dr. Holloway." "Say hello to the nice psychiatrist, Feggin." "Hello."

"The hairs on his face and hands are synthetic, attached with spirit gum." "It's a Halloween costume." "According to his driver's license," "Daemon's real name was Jonas Westfall." "He's a graduate student-- N.Y.U." "In forensic anthropology." "Then that explains the bones." "Castle, don't touch." "I know." "(Ryan) Canvassed the building." "Neighbor remembers hearing something the other day, based on deterioration and lividity and the smell of that old Thai food, wolf boy was killed the same day as our vampire." "I'd say a couple of hours before." "Ryan, track down the delivery guy." "Find out when this was delivered and whether anyone else was up here when he brought it." ""Come as your alter ego"?" ""October 27th at 7:00 P.M." our guy was going to this party." "Same day that Crow was killed." "(Lanie) I assume there's a connection." "(Castle) Hey." "India ink, which means Crow's killer was in the apartment, too." "(Beckett) but what were they looking for?" "Castle." "Morlock?" "He comes here, shoots Daemon, grabs a stake goes off and kills Crow." "And in the struggle, the ink bottle is broken." "Wasn't Morlock." "This victim was killed during the day." "Morlock had porphyria." "He would've burnt to a crisp." "So if he didn't kill our werewolf..." "Then chances are he didn't kill our vampire." "Well, then how did the prints get on the stake?" "Maybe he was trying to help him." "Maybe he was trying to save his friend." "Are you sure about the time of death?" "His watch broke when he fell." "It says 4:00, October 27th." "Well, then if it wasn't Morlock, who was it?" "And what were they looking for?" "Uh..." "I don't know what they were looking for, but I think I know what our vic was hiding." "So Jonas Westfall, A.K.A. Daemon, was inches away from getting his Master's in forensic science from N.Y.U." "This all looks like part of his research." "I went through a bone collecting phase when I was a kid." "So whatever happened to you happened when you were young." "What was it, Castle?" "Did you witness a murder?" "Or did you skin your knee and it bled?" "Hmm." "Speaking of trauma," "I wonder how late Alexis is gonna be at her party." "Poor Feggin is suffering from separation issues." "Come on, Castle." "You know mine." "Tit for tat." "Just because I've seen your tat doesn't mean I'm gonna show you my..." "Check this out." "Uh, dated two years ago" ""A murdered woman was unearthed in the Pennsylvania woods" ""above Lehigh River late Sunday night." ""Investigators say she had been buried in the shallow grave for years." And?" ""Based on the remains, investigators have attempted a forensic reconstruction of the murdered woman's face."" "That's the woman from Crow's drawings." "Yet in the graphic novel, she consistently appears as the angel of death." "Okay, so Crow became obsessed with Daemon's case study." "Why would they go to this much trouble to hide it?" "Why would someone kill to find it?" "Castle." "Hmm?" "These sketches were drawn four years ago." "No, no that's impossible." "This body wasn't discovered until two years ago." "So either Crow is psychic or..." "Or he knew this woman before she died." "(cell phone rings and beeps) Hey, Alexis." "How you doing?" "Everything okay?" "No, dad." "It's Paige." "I think the punch is spiked, and she had too much to drink." "I'm afraid something's gonna happen to her." "I'm on my way." "Oh, my god." "Is she all right?" "I don't know." "She was swapping drinks for kisses, and I tried to pull her away, but she wouldn't let me." "Would you get me a glass of water?" "(Paige, slurring words) leave me alone, 'lexis." "Paige." "Now you're sure she hasn't been throwing up or unconscious?" "No, just falling down." "All right." "Call her parents." "(slurring) don't do it." "Oh, my 'rents... 'urder me." "Don' do it, Mr. Castle." "Jus' let me sleep over." "What is she saying?" "It's just drunk talk." "She says don't call her parents or they'll murder her." "Just let her sleep over." "Do we have to call her parents?" "We do." "Get me their number." "She'll get in so much trouble." "Less than if you had left her there." "(mouths word) Now." "(keypad beeps)" "Try to get her to drink that." "Please." "Adora." "That's what he called her." "We've seen her in Matthew's artwork for years." "Do you know who she is?" "No, we just assumed that she was a figment of his imagination." "He called her his own personal ghost." "He said she appeared in his dreams and nightmares." "Well, she's not a figment." "She's very real." "Are you sure you don't recognize her?" "Because she could be anybody." "She could be a teacher, a neighbor." "No, I-I'm certain." "We've only seen her in his art." "Do you know if your son experienced anything traumatic when he was younger?" "What do you mean?" "I showed some of Matthew's drawings to one of our therapists, and he said that it looked like he might have witnessed something disturbing, seen something very violent." "I-I really can't think of anything." "Do you have any of Matthew's earlier drawings of this woman?" "No." "He took it all with him when he left." "Yeah." "Um, you might want to check the portfolio with his application for Barker." "All the work he cared about, he put in there." "Thank you, Rosie." "We'll look into it." "What, no Castle?" "Uh, no." "He had a late night." "What's up?" "I was talking to the Pennsylvania state police about our victim's mystery woman, and they said I was the second person to call in the last two weeks about the woman they found in the woods." "Did they tell you who else called?" "Jonas Westfall." "Daemon." "Yep, our werewolf." "And their forensics expert determined that the woman died 18 years ago from a gunshot wound to the chest from a 9-millimeter handgun." "Same as Daemon." "So I thought, what the hell?" "Compare the ballistics." "The bullets... are a match." "Two murders that many years apart?" "Anything on the mystery woman?" "Mnh-mnh." "Still haven't I.D.'ed her." "You know, Crow would've been 2 years old when that woman was killed." "Do you remember anything from when you were that young?" "Beckett." "Crow's portfolio?" "Yeah." "And there's something you gotta see." "(Ryan) look familiar?" "(Beckett) it's the same tree, just like where the body was found." "You don't draw something with that precision from a dream." "He's remembering it." "Crow witnessed that woman's murder when he was 2 years old." "He had to have been with someone--a sitter or a family member or maybe even the killer." "Run a background check on the Freemans." "Find out where they were living 18 years ago." "You got it." "Hey, Castle." "Alexis okay?" "She's, uh..." "She's a smart kid." "You took care of Feggin." "Yeah, well, he was... easy." "He didn't even fuss when I put him to bed." "Yo." "Ready for more tales of the weird and strangely odd?" "We looked into the Freeman family history." "Freeman is Janice's maiden name." "When she and Alan got married, Alan took her name and so did Matthew." "Well, he's either a feminist or he's hiding something." "What's Alan's original last name?" "McGinty." "And I think he was hiding something." "Alan's first wife, Elizabeth McGinty, went missing from Summit, New Jersey," "18 years ago." "She was never found." "Alan lied to us." "He knew exactly who his son was drawing." "He was drawing his real mother." "And Summit's only a couple of hours from where the body was found." "Elizabeth McGinty, maiden name Dryden." "Dryden?" "Elizabeth Dryden." "What?" "Question mark." "Remember what I told you about gravestones telling stories?" "(Beckett) Crow came here for a reason." "So cemetery management said that the family had a memorial service for their daughter about five years after she went missing." "Daemon must have looked at hundreds of reconstructed faces researching his thesis." "I can't imagine the shock when he recognized one as the woman from Crow's drawings." "And Crow must have realized his family had been lying to him all these years." "(Beckett) Huh." "Fresh flowers on her grave." "Crow brought his father here to confront him with his mother's grave." "All of these years," "You knew your son was drawing his mother, and you never said anything." "I was protecting my family." "You were protecting yourself." "You're a cold-blooded killer." "You killed your wife, and then reported her missing, and then 18 years later when your son found out, you killed him as well." "You don't have to respond to that." "No, no, no, no." "She's accusing me of killing my son." "Yes, I lied to Matthew, but I did it to protect him." "I thought he was too young to understand." "You were a suspect." "Of course I was a suspect." "I was her husband." "There wasn't any evidence that tied me to her disappearance 'cause I had nothing to do with it." "When Janice and I got married, it was like a chance..." "A chance at a fresh start." "And so as soon as you were legally able, you married your nanny." "Janice was there for us during a very dark time in our lives." "We had press on the lawn." "There were days without sleep." "I was handing out flyers with Lizzy's picture on it." "And Janice kept it together, and she protected Matthew." "Then why would you lie to us?" "You told us in front of our daughter." "What did you want me to do, tell her that everything she thought was a lie?" "Rosie adored Matthew." "She had just found out he died." "What would you have done?" "I would've told her the truth." "He was 9 years old when he first drew her face." "He showed it to me." "I thought I was seeing a ghost." "I figured..." "She was still somewhere in his head from his early memories." "But we'd been living a lie for so long, it had become the truth." "So how could I possibly tell him that Janice wasn't his mother, that his real mother ran away?" "Are we through here, Detective?" "Not by a long shot, Lawson." "The Connecticut state police found a 9-millimeter handgun in your client's home, and I am just betting that that is the same gun that killed" "Elizabeth Dryden McGinty and Jonas Westfall." "No, I-- don't say anything, Alan." "Oh, yeah." "And there's also this." "Your son witnessed his mother's murder." "No." "That's not possible." "How..." "How is this possible?" "Here." "Thank you." "Ahem." "Excuse me." "Um, how much longer are you people gonna keep us waiting without letting us know what is going on?" "We are trying to find the answers, Mrs. Freeman." "(scoffs)" "Spots." "What?" ""Spots all over." "Blood all over." "I should've buried you then, you wicked boy." What are you talking about?" "Morlock's crazy talk." "It's just like Paige's drunk talk." "You have to translate it." "Is Morlock still in holding?" "Yeah." "Mrs. Freeman, I am so sorry this is taking so long." "But as long as you have to wait, you might as well be comfortable." "have you seen our vending machines?" "Uh, straight through here." "Right." "Just to the left here." "Perfect." "Right in there." "Excellent." "Straight through." "Oh, wrong turn-- Aah!" "Heartless bitch!" "Spots murdered the Crow!" "Murderer!" "Murderer!" "What a small world." "(sobs)" "(groans and whimpers)" "(Beckett) Here you go." "Thank you." "Why?" "She killed Elizabeth so that she could have you to herself." "And then she murdered Matthew and his friend Daemon so that you would never find out." "Matthew didn't know who to trust, so he asked Daemon to hide the evidence, which ended up being smarter than he ever realized." "She knew that it was only a matter of time before they figured out the truth about what she had done." "So she followed Daemon to his apartment and shot him." "She used the same gun that she used to kill your first wife." "What about my son?" "(clears throat)" "He was on his way to the cemetery to, uh..." "lay down flowers at his mother's grave." "And when she saw the stakes in Daemon's apartment, she figured that she could lay blame on the people in your son's life that you already hated." "(voice breaking) She raised him." "She was like his mother." "He was a constant reminder of what she had done." "And when he turned on her... she wasn't his mother anymore." "(crying)" "Daddy!" "Oh, sweetie." "Oh." "It's--it's okay." "(Rosie crying)" "It's gonna be fine." "It's okay." "We're gonna be fine, sweetheart." "Everything's gonna be okay." "I hope this doesn't destroy her." "It will for a little while." "And then one day, she'll wake up, and it'll just be a part of her life." "Who knows?" "Maybe she'll become a writer." "Or a cop." "You know, you still haven't told me where your fascination with murder came from." "I was 5 years old." "We were summering in the Hamptons." "I was pretty much left to my own devices." "Mm-hmm." "This one day, I was walking along the beach." "I was miles from where I had started." "I was just about to turn back when I saw something had washed up on the beach." "I thought, maybe it's a-a whale or a turtle or a sea lion." "So I ran over to see what it was." "What was it?" "It was a boy..." "My age." "It was our housekeeper's son." "It must have just happened... 'cause the tide hadn't washed away the blood." "We had just played hide and go seek the day before." "What happened to him?" "They never found out." "I'm so sorry, Castle." "You made that up?" "(laughs) It's what I do!" "You know what?" "You are so getting it for that one." "The party is at 9:00." "I cannot wait to see what you're wearing." "(man) ♪ Small hands ♪" "Hey." "You're..." "You're not in your costume." "(voice breaking) I'm gonna stay upstairs." "Not really in a party mood." "♪ Such a thing is forever ♪" "What's wrong?"

"Otherwise, we'll never get to see each other." "I'm really not up" " for the cast-and-crew dinner." " The point of me doing this play" " was so we could hang out together." " You go ahead."

"What if he's not okay?" " We are looking for Ethan Ward." "He would've been admitted about an hour ago." "Ethan." "Oh, my God." "You're okay." " Are you okay?" "You look okay." " Yeah, I'm fine." "I'm so, so glad." "Are you in pain?" " Just when you squeeze that tight." " Oh, I'm sorry." "Had us worried, buddy." " L..." "Yeah, I'm sorry." " No, it's okay." " We're just happy you're all right." " I am, just bruised and shaken." "But the woman in the other car, Rhonda Kimble I guess is her name, she's in surgery, and if she doesn't make it..." "No." "Stop." "I'm sure she's gonna be okay too." "Do you mind if we just wait here until she's out of surgery?" " Yeah." " That's fine, yeah." "Of course." "It's gonna be okay." "You have to tell Ty." " He's responsible too, Ade." " I'm just waiting for the right moment." "Yeah, well, the right moment was about two hours ago." "And two lamb shawarmas ago." " Stop eating that crap." " I'm eating for two." "I am aware of that." "Tell him." " Is the best." " Hey, Ty." " There's my leading lady." "Hi." " Do you have a sec?" " For my queen?" "Come on." "So, what's going on?" "There's no easy way to say this." "I'm pregnant." "And it's your baby." " What?" " Yeah." "I thought you were, you know, on the pill." "Well, yeah." "Sometimes I took those pills, sometimes I took other pills." "You'll just get it taken care of." "It's too late for that." " Medically." " Great." "Anyway, I thought you'd like to know." "This can't be happening." "I can't believe I didn't see that stop sign." "Hey, it happens." "That's why they call them accidents." "No." "I wasn't paying attention, and I was on the phone." "With me." "I shouldn't have called." "Okay, stop it, you two." "This isn't helping anybody." "I'm looking for the family of Rhonda Kimble." " That's us." " That's us." "Your daughter has a collapsed lung, but she'll make a full recovery." " She's stable as of now." " Thank you, doctor." "Looks like she's gonna be okay." " You ready to head home?" " You guys go." "My mom's on her way." " So I'll just wait for her here." " Oh, well, we'll wait with you, then." "Actually, I wouldn't mind having a few minutes alone." "I have to apologize to Rhonda." "I gotta figure out what to say." " Okay." " Okay." "We'll see you later." "Well, call me after you talk to her, okay?" "Yeah." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Sorry." "Gentle." "Do you have the number?" "I'm calling it right now." "Hey." " Is he okay?" " Yeah." "Spooked, but fine." "Well, thank God." "Guess there's something in the air tonight or something." "What do you mean?" "Just really hasn't been a good night." "You wanna tell us what it is, or should we play charades?" "All right." "Me and Silver broke up." " What?" " Why?" " I don't wanna talk about it." " Oh, honey." " I'm sorry." " It's cool." "You know, I'm really not into that whole unrequited-love thing." "You know, so I had to get out before one of us got hurt." "Or more hurt." "But anyhow," "I don't wanna talk about it." "That's it." " I'm glad Ethan's okay." " Yeah." " And I'll see you guys tomorrow." " All right, buddy." " Good night." " Night." "Good night."

"Ade, you gotta tell your mom." "Listen, if Perez Hilton has taught us anything, it's that you can't hide" " a baby bump forever." " I'm not gonna hide it forever." "Just until I figure out what I'm gonna do." " Well, maybe she could help you." " My mom?" "Yeah, right." "She could surprise you." "She'll surprise me if she doesn't kick me out." "I'm practically her personal ATM." "And something tells me" "I'm not gonna be booking a lot of parts once I start to show." "That's totally gonna suck." "I don't know what's gonna be worse, like, my mom finding out," " or everyone at school." " Oh, well, everyone at school." "I mean, it'll be a constant barrage of whispers and rumors and..." " This is not helping." "I'm sorry." " No, it's true." "It's gonna be totally humiliating." "Like, I just got finished being rehab girl, now I have to be pregnant girl." "I'm just so sick of reading about how screwed up I am on the bathroom walls." "You know?" "Adrianna." "Mom, hi." "I've spent all day picking up after people at the restaurant." "I hope you don't expect me to clean up this mess." " No, I'll clean it." " Hello, Constance." "Hi, Naomi." " Don't you have a curfew?" " I'm staying at the hotel, so, no." "So did you hear about the toothpaste commercial?" "Yeah, I did." "I didn't get it." "But I got the lead in the school play." "Damn." "That was a national spot." " Well, I know." "I tried." " Yeah." "I can see all the effort." "Laying around eating mac and cheese?" "There's a recipe for success." "Hey." " Hi." " Thanks for coming." "I just wanted to apologize for my reaction last night." "I was in shock, and from what I remember," "I didn't handle it very well." " It's okay." "I kind of blindsided you." " No, Ade, it's not okay." "I should be more sensitive to what you're going through and how you're feeling." "How are you feeling?" "Emotional." "Hungry all the time." "Well, look, I talked to my parents last night, and..." "You did?" "Well, sure." "I mean, can't get through this by ourselves, right?" "Right." "What did they say?" "Well, they were shocked and mad." "But after two very dry martinis, they calmed down a bit and decided they'd help us figure it out." "What did your mom say?" "Pretty much the same thing." "Yeah." "My parents wanna have you guys over for dinner." "Me and my mom?" "Yeah, I don't know if that's really a good idea." "Well, they're very insistent." "They want me to take responsibility, and so do I." "We're in this together, Ade." "All right." "Now, if I order some chili cheese fries, would you share them?" " Yeah." " All right." "I'm starved." "You know what we gotta do to get over Silver and Adrianna?" "I know exactly what to do." "Find a rogue scientist who's willing to experiment with the "Eternal Sunshine" thing?" "No." "The only way to get over a girl is to get a new girl." "Hell to the yes." "Oh, man, who am I kidding?" "I'm never gonna get another girl." " Dude, what is wrong with you?" " I'm bad at the whole dating thing." "No." "No, you're not." "It took me 11 years to get up the nerve to ask out Adrianna." "Yeah, that is a little pathetic." "You know, maybe the whole mind-erasing thing isn't such a bad idea." "Just..." "I'm just saying, you know?" " Eleven years?" " Nice." "Jeez." "Rhonda?" "Ethan Ward is here to see you." " Hi." " Hi." "Look, I know this sounds weird to just come out and say it, but I'm the guy that hit you, and I'm so sorry." "And I know that doesn't mean anything, but I just wanted to say it." "We talked to the police, and we're not gonna pursue any legal stuff, if that's why you're here." "No." "No, it's not." "But you could if you wanted to, because it was totally my fault." "I was on the phone, and I didn't see the stop sign, and..." "You know, the important thing is that we're both all right." "You have a punctured lung." "Honestly, it sounds a lot worse than it really is." " I promise." " Thanks." "I should really be thanking you." "I mean, you got me out of this killer math test on Wednesday." "Oh, yeah?" "What school do you go to?" " What?" " You're in high school, right?" "Yeah." "I go to West Beverly." "I'm in your French class." "Oh, I'm..." " I'm really sorry." " Sorry for what?" "Sorry for not knowing who I am?" "Why would you?" "I'm not cool." "I'm not popular." "You obviously just live in your own little bubble where people like me don't even register." "That's not true." "When was the last time you talked to somebody who wasn't running for homecoming queen or didn't play a varsity sport?" "We exist, Ethan." "And some of us are really interesting people." "I'm not like that." "I'm feeling really tired." "You should probably go." "Mom, Dad, this is Adrianna." "Louise Collins." "It is so good to meet you." " Nice to meet you, Mrs. Collins." " Please, call me Weezy." "Mrs. Collins is my mother-in-law, and between you and me, she's a real pill." "I heard that." "William." "Thanks for coming by." " Oh, thanks for having me." " Where's your mother, dear?" "She wanted to come, but she couldn't get off work last-minute." "We'll meet her another time, I'm sure." " Sit, please." " Yes." "Make yourself comfortable." "We're still a few minutes from dinner." "So, what does your mother do?" " She's in the restaurant business." " Tough work." "Long hours." "I used to bus tables at the club in high school." " Hardest job I ever had." " You were a busboy?" " Why is that so hard to believe?" " Oh, because neither of us has ever seen you pick up a damn thing in this house." "So should we get down to it?" " Sure." " How are you feeling, dear?" " I'm okay." " Good." "That's the important thing." "You have to take care of yourself." "Do you have a good doctor?" "Not yet, but I went to a clinic, and everything looks fine." "First thing, we'll have to get you a doctor." "And don't you worry, we'll take care of the costs." "Oh, don't argue with him, dear." "He's very stubborn." "We wanna help you, Adrianna." "You're only 16." "You shouldn't have to deal with this alone." "Dinner is ready." " Oh, terrific." "Shall we?" " Let's." "Real insight into character isn't found on-stage." "It's found in rehearsal." "Therefore, you will only be allowed one absence." "One." "Oh, I'm sorry." "You guys are using this room." "I forgot." "Sorry." "I'm passing out schedules." "Please commit them to your brains and your BlackBerrys." "Any conflicts, say them now, or forever hold your peace." "So when are you meeting my mom?" "In an hour." "Will you call me after?" "So do you think I should talk to her, or no?" " Who?" " Miss Casey." "I wanna ask her what I did wrong in the audition." "But I'm afraid that if I ask her, she'll think that I thought that I should get the lead, which I did not think, and I don't want her to think that I thought." " What do you think?" " I think that you're over-thinking it." "Really?" " Should I send her balloons?" " Miss Casey?" "No." "No, Rhonda." "I mean, to apologize for yesterday." " Balloons?" " What's wrong with balloons?" "Nothing." "Just kind of impersonal." "Well, how am I supposed to get her something personal?" "I don't know her." "Hi, Adrianna." "I'm Dr. Klein." " Hi." "Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you." "And you must be her mother?" "No." "My mom had to work, so she couldn't make it." " I'm a close friend." " Gotcha." "So it says here there's a history of drug abuse." "Yeah, but I'm clean now." "Even so, I'd like her to have an amnio." "What's an amnio?" "Under local anesthesia, we run a thin needle into the amniotic sac and extract a little fluid." "And from that fluid, we can test the fetus for abnormalities." "Normally, we don't do it for a girl your age..." "With your history, I really think it's a good idea." "I mean, God forbid anything's wrong, we'll know." " Okay." " Great." "First things first, you need an ultrasound." " Okay." " Lift up your shirt." "I'm sorry." "Okay, Adrianna, there's your baby." "Those are the legs, and the arms." "That's a nose, and an ear." "It just didn't seem real before." "I know." "I know." " Thanks for all your help, Ty." " My pleasure." "Thanks again for all the maternity clothes." "You're welcome, honey." "Before you go, I wanted to give you this." " Peaceful Vista?" " It's in New Mexico." "Once you start to show, you can go there and stay until you deliver the baby." "It's supposed to be gorgeous." "A friend of a friend's went, and she said it was like a spa vacation." " It looks beautiful." " Oh, and this is for your mother, dear." "It's a legal contract just laying out the terms of our financial commitment." "It says we'll pay for your stay and after, we'll arrange for the adoption of the child." "The adoption?" "Well, there are a lot of deserving people who can't have kids, and what other choice is there?" "I guess I hadn't really thought about it." "Well, I guess it's time to start." "Have your mother look it over." "And if the terms look agreeable, which I'm sure they will, then that will be that." "Okay?" "Okay." "What are you doing here?" "Well, last time I was here, you were watching TV, but there was nothing on." "So I'm loaning you my DVD player." "But then I ran into a problem when I was trying to pick out movies because I didn't know if you would like action/adventure or comedy or romance or horror or romantic horror, which isn't a popular genre, but apparently it does exist," "and apparently the Swedes have mastered it." "And I wanted to get you snacks because movies without snacks suck." "But I didn't know if you like sweet or salty, so I got you pretzels and chocolate." "I also got chocolate-covered pretzels in case you like sweet and salty together." "Ethan." "What is this about?" "I'm..." "I'm just trying to get to know you." "So, what's it gonna be?" "Mission:" "Lmpossible or "The Wedding Planner?"" ""The Wedding Planner" and maybe some chocolate-covered pretzels." " All right." " Wanna stay and watch?" "Oh, you have somewhere to be." "Just play rehearsal, but we're allowed to blow one off, so, yes, I'll stay." "As long as you're okay with the occasional" ""this is such a lame chick flick" commentary." "Yeah." ""When you meet a girl, you need to passively insult her, thus actively demonstrating your disinterest, which has the effect of elevating said girl's interest in you. "" " Are you kidding?" " It worked for my cousin." "He's swimming in chicks, and he is funky-looking." "All right." " I'm gonna give it a try." " Do your thing, bro." "I'm gonna do my thing, bro." "Hey, what's up?" " Not much." " You know, you'd be really beautiful if you didn't have that bad hairdo." "Get lost, creep." "Amazing." "Amazing." "I wish I had it on video so I could put on YouTube." " Dude, shut up." " What was that all about?" " Well, Navid has a book." " Dude, don't sell me out." ""The Credo?" You do not read this disgusting, insulting book." " No." " Navid, have you met Christina?" " No." "Hey." " Hi." " Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you." "So you're trying to meet a girl?" "Well, if you wanna meet a girl, don't trust that." "You know, you should trust someone who kind of knows how a girl thinks." "Me." "Oh, you two are really clueless." "You need to come to my friend's party." " Hot band, hot girls." "I'll hook you up." " No." "Hold on." "Wait a minute." "No." "Just him." "I don't need your help with no ladies." "Dude, believe me, if Dixon wants a girl, Dixon gets a girl." "Not if Dixon talks in the third person like a tool." "Yeah, right?" "Touché." "Fair enough." "Hot-stone massages." "They have hot-stone massages." " Have you looked at this?" " No, not yet." "They have, like, a ski resort like a half-hour away." "I don't think you'll be skiing during your third trimester." "You might be right." "But I'll be doing a lot of seaweed mud masks, though." "Sure, you just have to sign away all rights to said issue." "There are a lot of deserving people who can't have kids." "Yeah, I know." "I saw "Juno" too." "Look, this has a nondisclosure agreement that says you can't talk about the fact that Ty's the father." "I guess that's okay." "It also says that you can't talk about the events and circumstances leading up to and including the pregnancy and birth of said issue, ever." "Basically, what we're doing right now, totally illegal." "I'm sure that's just over-zealous lawyer talk or something." "Yeah, I don't know, Ade." "This thing reads like a frigging gag order." "I mean, it has serious damages if you don't comply." "What is your problem?" "Okay?" "This is a plan, finally." " Why do you have to be so negative?" " I'm not being negative." "I don't want you to be taken advantage of." "The Collins aren't like that." " What are you doing?" " I'm gonna clear things up." "Hey, Ty." "It's Ade calling." "You're probably in a fierce game of "Dragon Fury" right now, but if you could tear yourself away for just a minute, that would be great." "There's just some things in the contract that I find a little weird." "It's not a big deal." "I just wanna clarify them." "So give me a call and, yeah." "Oh, say hi to your parents for me." "Okay, bye." "Happy?" "Don't push yourself, okay?" "Who are you, Usain Bolt?" "You just had surgery." "Gotta pass the old guy." "Oh, the competitor kicks in." "Okay." "No, his gown keeps opening, and I'm sick of seeing his ass." "Oh, all right, yeah." "No, you're right." "All right, let's pass him on the outside and pretend it's like the last minutes of a game, okay?" "I should tell you that sports talk is pretty much lost on me." "I've never been to a game or a match or anything sports-related." "So maybe I'm not the only one living in a bubble, then?" " You're right, but no more." " What?" "All sports all the time?" "All new experiences all the time." "You know how they say your life flashes before your eyes in an accident?" "Well, mine did, and all I saw was a bunch of jazz-band rehearsals." "Yeah, all I saw was one long SportsCenter reel." "There's so much more out there." "There's things I haven't tried, things I haven't even thought about trying." "Yeah, I always wanted to learn to play the guitar." " Then you should." " And go skydiving?" "Let's sign up." "I've always wanted to go camping." " Oh, that's easy enough." " I know." "I just..." "I always assumed there'd be time, you know?" "But I'm not gonna live like that anymore." "I'm gonna live like there's no time and that ever day could be my last." " Carpe diem." " Exactly." "Miss Casey?" "Hi." "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that Ethan wasn't at rehearsal today." "He must've lost track of time." "Oh, it's fine." "Everyone can miss one." " Is that all?" " Yeah." "No." "No." "It's not that I expected to get the lead in the play, because I absolutely did not, but I love acting, and I really wanna get better because this is really what I've always wanted to do." "Well, your passion will certainly work in your favor." "And an acting class will help as well." "You have talent, Annie." "It's just that acting is a craft." "You know, just like anything else." "Like blacksmithing." "You know, you're not born knowing how to be a blacksmith, right?" "You have to study, learn your craft." "I'll make you a list of some good acting classes, okay?" "Have a good night." "Thank you." " Weezy, hi." " Adrianna, hello." "What are you doing here?" "Ty said you called with some concerns." "So I thought it was time I sit down with your mother." "I was gonna leave a note with my number, but I saw a car, and I thought perhaps she was home." "Well, you know, it's just, it's not really a great time right now." "You must be Constance." "Sorry to just drop in on you out of the blue, but I thought we should talk about the situation the kids are in, especially since it is rather pressing." "Don't you agree?" "Certainly seems that way." "Yes, it is pressing because, well, the..." "Because the baby is due in five months." "Naturally, I was a little surprised when Adrianna said she had some concerns about the contract." "Remind me about your specific concerns." "Well, the Collins have been so nice, and they've offered to pay for the entire stay at Peaceful Vista." "And the place looks great, and from what I hear," "New Mexico seems nice." "It's just, not being able to talk about what happened, that part of the contract seems kind of severe." "Adrianna, you and Ty have your whole lives in front of you." "This is not something we want to follow you around." "I mean, do you really want everyone to know what you've done?" "Well, no." "But I'm not exactly sure what "done" is going to be yet." "I mean, I'll probably give it up for adoption." "Probably?" "You're a 16-year-old girl." "What other choice is there?" "Let's look at the facts." "You had a drug problem." "You got yourself pregnant." "Then you put us all into a position where it was too late to terminate." "Do you really think you're responsible enough to be a mother?" "That's not fair." "Yes, I did those things, but that's because I was using, not because of who I am." " I'm actually really responsible." " Adrianna, stop talking." "My daughter is someone who has been bringing home a paycheck since she was 5 years old." "Someone who didn't know how to ride a bicycle, but when a role demanded that she ride one, she learned in an hour." "And, yes, she had a drug problem, but she also kicked that drug problem and cleaned herself up and stayed in school and got the lead in the play." "So let's just be clear, she is very responsible." "And listen to me, this is not your choice." " It's hers." " Please, spare me the supportive-mother act." "You didn't know she was pregnant." "Adrianna, sweetheart, don't be foolish." "Don't you want your child to have a better life than you have?" "That's it." "We're done." " Pardon me?" " Take your notes and your contracts and your superior attitude, and take a hike." " Wow, that was..." " I just need some time to think." " Hey." " Hey." " What can I get you?" " A turkey burger." " Hey, is Dixon working today?" " Nope." " Is that for here or to go?" " To go." "Thanks." " Mom, I'm so sorry." " No, I'm sorry." "That woman was right about one thing." " I've been a pretty crap mom." " No, you haven't." "I mean, you have sometimes, but you've done good stuff." "You bought me a sled." "Remember?" "Then you said there wasn't gonna be any snow." "So I begged and begged for it, and for Christmas, you got me a sled." "Yeah, well," "I could've taken you to where there was some snow." "Sledding in grass was fine." "It's just, sometimes it's like you don't see me as a daughter." "More like a cash machine." "Well, you gotta understand, it's been hard raising you alone." "It's not how I wanted to do it." "And when you started acting, you liked it." "And things just got so much easier once you booked jobs." "Doesn't matter." "Just trust me, I understand why you didn't wanna tell me." "I wanted to tell you." "I just..." "I thought you'd kick me out." "Yeah, well, you are not going anywhere." "Because you and me, we're in this together." "Really?" "And first, you know, I was all insulted." "I mean, blacksmithery?" "Come on." "But then I got over myself, and I looked at the classes she suggested, and they're actually taught by all these incredible teachers." "So, anyway, I filled out the applications last night and..." "Annie, there's more to life than theater." "Yeah, I know that." "But I love it." "Yeah, but, I mean, maybe you'd love other things too." "I don't wanna love other things." "Ethan, where's this coming from?" "I've been talking just with Rhonda about how short life is and how there are so many options out there, things we never even considered doing because we pigeonhole ourselves" " at such a young age to..." " Yeah, well, I like my pigeonhole." "Okay." "That's fine." "Then I won't talk to you about it." "No, you can talk to me." "It's just, the accident, it changed things." "I feel like it woke me up or something." "Like it jolted me out of my bubble." "Bubble?" "The bubble that I'm still in?" "Come on, Annie." "I'm just saying, I feel different." "But good different, though." "Okay." "Well, I'm glad that you feel good different." "And..." "But, anyway, I gotta get to play practice." "So I'll see you at 6:30 for the eunuch scene?" "Yeah." "So show me what I'm looking for" "Save me" "I'm lost" "Oh, Lord, I've been waiting for you" "I'll pay any cost" "Save me from being confused" "Show me what I'm looking for" "Show me what I'm looking for" "Oh, Lord" "Yo, how'd your friend get Carolina Liar to play?" "Her sister dates Erik, the bass player." "So you two see any ladies you're interested in?" "I'm looking." "I'm looking." "Don't rush me." "She looks pretty, and not pregnant." " Pregnant?" " Well, no." "I meant, she has a good body." "Do you know her?" "Oh, Nika Raygani?" "She's cool." "Talk to her." "And be yourself." "Trust me, I can't do that." "That's why I had the book." "Dude, look, you can do this." "All right?" "Okay, if I can do this, I need a wingman." "Fine." "If I'm going, then you gotta go too." " Come on." " Come on." " Hey, Nika." " Hi." "I'd like you to meet Navid and Dixon." " They're friends of mine." " Hi." " Hi." "Your turn." " Hi." " Okay." "Hi." " Hi." "What's up?" " I'm really uncool." " Excuse me?" "No, I've been racking my brain back there to think of something cool to say, but Christina right here told me to be myself." "So the truth is, I'm just really uncool." "So I'm not the kind of guy who's gonna say some sarcastic, ironic comment, all right?" "And I don't even know the best restaurants." " Right, buddy?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "And I might even drop an occasional "World of Warcraft" reference, you know, before I remember that not, you know, everybody plays massively multiplayer online role-playing games." "So, yeah, I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into, so that way, if you do decide you wanna talk to me..." "Well, us." "Me." " You can adjust your expectations accordingly." "As long as I get to be a seventh-level mage, I'm in." "Marry me?" "Okay." "Come in." "Door's open." "Oh, hey, Silver." "I thought you were the dishwasher repairman." "Yeah, not so much." " Is Annie here?" " No, she's not." "Okay." "You know, I think she went to some party at a cheerleader's house." "Oh, no." "You know what?" "That was Dixon." " Okay." "Gotcha." "Thanks." " Bye, honey." "Okay, last time, catch the clap." "Really, Danny?" "After five rounds, it's still funny?" "Sorry." "Okay, okay." "Let's just dive into the next scene." "Where's my eunuch?" "Ethan Ward?" "Has anyone seen Ethan Ward?" "All right." "Okay." "Just give me one second here." "Put that up there." "All right." "Easy." "Here." "Here." " I'm sorry I'm so pathetic." " No." "No, no, you're a trouper." "Get some rest." "I will be here for as long as it takes for you to get better." "Okay." "Bye, Ethan." "Any available radiologist..." "Any available radiologist..." " and in." "Nice move." "Forty-five remaining..." "What a waste of time The thought crossed my mind" "But I never missed a beat" "Can't explain the who Or what I was" "Trying to believe" "What would you do?" "So, what gives?" "I thought you were the "pro" at picking up girls." "I am." "I am." "And I will when the mood strikes." "Not over Silver, huh?" "I mean, I wanna be." "That girl, man, she's all kinds of trouble." "Well, don't rush it." " I knew you weren't a lesbian." " Excuse me?" " Silver...?" " No, no, no." "She was just pretending so you could cozy up to him." " Dixon, get your girl." " No, no, no, because I'm not his girl." "Because he dumped me out of the blue." "Why would you do that?" "I mean, what kind of love just stops like that?" "Doesn't call or even care?" "I mean, you go to parties like it never even happened." " Silver." " No." " Hey." " Come on." "What...?" " I should..." " Go." "Just go." " Hey, Silver." "Silver, what was that?" " I don't know." "Nothing." "I don't know." "It's just..." "It's too much." " What is?" " Seeing you here with a girl." "She's just a friend." "Yeah, okay, maybe she is, but someday, someone's not gonna be, and I'm gonna have to watch you, and I can't handle it." "And then what?" "This being-in-love stuff is making me crazy." "So you love me?" " I didn't say that." " Yes." "Yes, you did." "You said, this being-in-love stuff is making you crazy." "Ergo, you love me." "Fine." "Ergo, I do." "Well, I ergo you too." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "I just don't get why you're doing this." "Are you trying to ruin my life, Ade?" " Yeah, I'm trying to ruin your life." " Okay, look, assuming it's mine..." " Assuming?" " Oh, come on." "Obviously we're testing for paternity." "That's why we insisted on an amnio." "My parents wanna make sure they're paying for my problem." "Well, it's definitely your problem." "What happened to this all, like, "we're in it together" stuff?" "It's hard when you're fighting us." "My parents are trying to help make it go away." "No." "This is what you're not getting." "It's a way for me to go away, not for it to go away." "If I go to New Mexico, I'm still gonna be pregnant with it." "I'm just gonna be pregnant with it in New Mexico." "I'm gonna give birth to it in New Mexico." "It'll always be a part of me." "But that contract doesn't allow for that." "Like, I'm not gonna even be able to talk about it." "What's there to talk about?" "It's humiliating." "Yeah, it is." "But it's also happening." "I have to deal with this situation." "And luckily," "I'm getting pretty good at dealing with humiliation." "Just ask your mom." "All right, I'm gonna teach you how to walk." "Look." "Hey." "Sorry to interrupt." "I was hoping I could get your help with something, Navid." "So, look, I don't really wanna spend any more time doing things that I'm not into." "And this whole play thing, it's just not me." "Okay." "But it wasn't about the play, right?" "It was about us spending time together." "And we will, just not on a strict Miss Casey schedule." "Hey." " Hey." " Hey." "Hey, everyone." "It's Adrianna Tate-Duncan." "And I have something to announce." "Because you will all know soon enough, and I really can't deal with all the behind-the-back whispering." "So this way, you can all be shocked at once, and hopefully, you'll be able to deal with it, like I'm doing." "So, anyway," "I'm pregnant." "And, yes, it was during my drug period, which you all clearly know about." "So that's about it, folks." "Oh, and as for the father, there isn't one." "It was an immaculate conception." "Okay." "Okay, I'm done." "Yeah, I know." "Thank you."

"Excuse me." "Sara, there's no socializing on the job." "No, he's a customer." "Right?" "I don't have any money." "Actually, you maybe will need some free samples to help you decide." "We get a lot of requests for ginger wasabi." "Okay." "(JOSH EXCLAIMS)" "Intense." "So, I thought maybe you could come check out this place I go on Saturdays." "You can shoot great pictures there." "This is too intense." "I'll try the strawberry shortcake." "Anyway, I thought maybe, if you wanted, you could come with me." "Yeah, that would be great." "So, like, this afternoon?" "I'm..." "Actually, I don't get out of here for another hour." "And then I have this practice with my dad." "And then I have this dance audition at 5:30." " So, I'm kind of..." " Wow."

"I'll be taking pictures for the yearbook, and they're, like, broadcasting every detail of what happens with their boyfriends." "I don't see you around school much." "I'm kind of a private guy." "Why are you such a private guy?" "I don't know." "I guess every place we lived, there really wasn't a regular school, so coming here was like culture shock." "Not to mention, everyone in my grade is older, which is a little weird." "Yeah, tell me about it." "Everyone on my team is older." "So it's..."

"No." "No." "No." "Who said anything about quitting?" "I'm just talking about playing with kids your own age." "Do you realize what's at stake here?" "But if you make the team, you have to move away." " Did you think about that?" " I know." "It's not that far." "I hate to say it, but your mom is right." "Why would you wanna move?" "I don't."

"You and Josh Anderson alone in the darkroom?" "And..." "And we were talking." "And then we sort of stopped talking." "And he kissed you, didn't he?" " Tutti!" " I'm sorry!" "This is exciting." "Did you kiss him back?" "Uh-huh." "Yeah!" "So how'd you leave it?" "Well, I saw him this morning and we're printing the rest of the pictures." "And we're going to Spring Fling together."

"I know you think Sara's playing for herself, but she's not." "I see." "And when did you become such a soccer expert?" "I'm not, but I know Sara a little, and you don't have to boss her around." "She's playing for the team." " Interesting." " What?" "You sticking up for Sara, while she's going around telling everyone that you kiss like a dead squid." "What?" "You know, in the darkroom." "Did she say that?" "I'm sorry." "I wasn't supposed to say anything." " Hi." " GIRL:" "Hi." "All right." "Right here on the count of three." "One, two, three." "All right, smile." "Look right here."

"I thought we were gonna develop those pictures today." "No, you got it right." "All right, shift a little bit to the right." " Well, did you wanna do it later then?" " Look at me, again." "No, I already printed them." "Yeah, they weren't any good, so I tossed them." " You threw them away?" " I didn't know you had a girlfriend, Joshie." "I don't." "Thanks." "We're all done here." " What's the problem?" " I don't know." "You tell me." "You don't need an attitude adjustment, do you?" "Me?" "I'm not the one with the attitude problem around here." " Excuse me?" " Hey, why don't you announce the Sara and Josh club meeting in the darkroom?" " That would be great." " What is going on?" "Maybe you should just go to the dance by yourself." "Look, I thought we were on the same wavelength here, but..." "Same wavelength?" "I guess I was wrong." "I'm gonna go do some stuff." "Like what?" "Hang out in your janky darkroom and play with your stupid puzzles?" "GIRL 1:" "Get the ball." "Go!" "Right behind you." "Come on!" "GIRL 2:" "Here." "Regina!" " Here." "Here, here!"

"I played four years for your father at Cal." "He pushed us hard." "But I was 20 years old and I knew what I wanted." "Meaning?" "You need to think about where you want to be with this sport, what you want out of it." "My dad does that." "Maybe you should be in on it." "Lori, my dad's training can get me on the National Team." "But if you really want to play at that level, it can't be to please your dad." "This is what I want, Lori." "Look, I'll train harder, okay?" "You still don't know how good you are." "There comes a time when you have to lead your life, Sara, not just follow it." " Hey, kiddo, what's up?" " The usual." "Hey, I got something for you." "The shoe rep dropped off a load today." " What do you think?" " Sweet." " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "Right at me!" "(EXCLAIMS)" "Nice shot." "Right at me!" "Not much of a goalkeeper." "Yeah." "Regina says he's the only Brazilian who can't play soccer." "See how she keeps her head down low?" "(GROANS)" "So, when did you know you wanted to make soccer your whole life?" "I don't know." "Junior year in high school." "Quit football, found soccer." "I cared more about soccer than anything else." "You still do." "Well, I like to think there's some things I care about more, like my daughter." "And Mom?" "Sara, it's not like we're running out to get a divorce, okay?" "We just need some time to sort things out." "Okay." "(REGINA EXCLAIMING)" "So, high school, soccer..." "Great players back then, Pelé, Maradona, Beckenbauer." "They were gods on the field." "And you were a god, too, right?" "Well, it was pretty cool." "I know." "When I'm on the field, I don't even have to think." " I just go." " I know." "But you gave it up." "Well, not much choice there, kiddo." "REGINA'S FATHER:" "Come on." "Right at me." "Dad, there are other things we can talk about besides soccer, right?" " Of course." " Like things happening in the world?" " Sure." " Like what?" "Like..." "Like everything." "Like..." "I don't know." "Manchester United may trade Wayne Rooney to Juventus." " Lame, Dad." "Lame." " Well, okay." "Hang on." "Hang on." " Come on." "Come on, you can get it." " REGINA'S FATHER:" "Come on, right at me." "Oh, man." "Her arms are flailing all over the place." "She's got to keep her upper body quiet..." " Dad!" " What?" "Hey, forgetting something?" " Later, dude." " Love you, kiddo." "What do you mean, Florida?" "I thought you said that the National Team trains right here in California." "It's a brand-new training center, just for women." "State of the art facilities, sports medicine, everything she needs." "Everything she needs, 3,000 miles away." " Okay, it's a bit of a challenge." " As if we need more challenges right now!" " But it is such an opportunity!" " For who?" "She's been playing soccer since she could walk, Gil." " Why can't you just give it a couple years?" " Who knows where she'll be then?" "Julia, she can play with the best players in the country right now." "Great." "And then we'll all be living alone." "Don't blame soccer for that." "I don't." "I just wanna know where this is headed." "I gotta get back to work." "You are looking so fine today, babe." "Like you could be a supermodel!" " What is that about?" " It's just the Doogster." "He's harmless." "So what's up with photo boy?" "You've been suspiciously silent." "I don't even know." "He asked me to the dance and then totally ditched me." " Well, some guys are just whack." " Not me, doll." "No way I'd treat major babes like you with such disrespect." "Do you mind?" "This is a private conversation, junior." "You have to go to the dance." "I did the decorations!" "No guy wants to dance with a jock, or jock-ette." "Sara, you're not just a jock-ette." "It would be complete poetic justice if you showed up at the dance and Josh would see all these guys checking you out." "'Cause that'll happen." "You don't have a clue, do you?" "Just let the Tutster work her magic." "I don't know about this, Tuts." "Don't freak out." "This color is so you." "Hey." "What's going on?" "Just making your daughter drop-dead gorgeous, Mrs. Davis." " Mission impossible, right, Mom?" " Not at all." "Hey, can I help?" "All right, I may be your mom, but I still know a few tricks." "Well, actually, we could use some help on some clothes." "Yeah, I got some ideas." "(INAUDIBLE)" " And they said it couldn't be done." " Mom, what do you think?" "You know, I used to wear that skirt when I went out with your father." "You know what, Mrs. Davis, you had some style." "Well, Sara's dad noticed me." "And you're gonna get noticed plenty, too." "Believe me." "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "That's my babe." "Awesome, huh?" "Come on." "DOOGIE:" "Sara!" "Hey, I was just chilling with my posse." "Didn't expect to see you fine ladies here tonight." "You are not talking to us." "Come on, just do me this one little favor." "Walk in with me." "You can't be serious." "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "Okay, just let me walk in with you, and I'll disappear from your lives forever." "And, you know, we don't have to dance much." "It can't hurt." "Sweet!" "Yes!" "All right, come on." "So what's your sign?"

"I know you feel the same I heard it anyway" "I can't believe that you would ever go away" "And I'll do my best to let you know" "Let you know" "Hi." "Who's this?" "She's cute." "Sara, from the soccer team." " No way." " Yes, way." "I can't believe it." "Where's your boyfriend?" "You know, the one who takes all the pictures and kisses like a dead squid." "What are you talking about?" "Ask your friend." "I heard it from her." "Come on." " What?" " What did you tell her?" "What do you mean?" "How should I know?" "Tutti, that information was private!" " You promised!" " But I didn't..." "That's why Josh won't even talk to me." "He thinks that I'm telling everybody." " Are you serious?" "I can't believe you!" " I can't believe you!" "It's like you don't want us to end up together." " Are you nuts?" "Why would I tell her?" " But you did!" "Okay, maybe a little something slipped out." "Yeah!" "Like you didn't know!" "Okay, time out." "This conversation is going nowhere." "I'll just see you whenever." "(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)" "(SINGING) I wanna be with you tonight" "I don't need a reason why" "We were meant to be together" "I was just looking for someone to talk to" "You were looking for my surrender" "I didn't know that my heart was so empty" "Lying to myself, I was just pretending" "And I can't escape you and me" "Can't escape me" "And now, you belong in my arms" "Hi." "Hi." "I thought you didn't do dances?" " Yearbook." " Yearbook." "Yes." "You look nice." "Thank you." "I thought some people might think I look like one of those fashionista girls." " I got to take some more shots." " Hey, wait." "You know, I think there might have been a little confusion between us." "I'm just afraid that maybe something was said..." " Dead squid?" " I have no idea where that came from, but it was not me." "I believe you." "I would still be really interested in learning how to print pictures." "Sara, your life is moving so fast." "I don't think there's time for someone like me." "I can make time." "That's nice, but I don't wanna take a back seat to everything else in your life." "If you make the National Team and move away..." "Yeah, I understand." "Totally." "So, how's Delilah's Garden?" "I haven't been there in a while." " Can I take your picture?" " Yeah, sure."

"GIRL 4:" "Get her." "Sara!" " Regina!" " GIRL 3:" "Get the ball, go!" " Switch it!" " GIRL 5:" "Switch it, Wendy." "Come on." "GIRL 2:" "Back to me." "Yeah, yeah." "REGINA:" "Hey." "What?" "Keep your head up." "We need your best game tomorrow." " Where'd you get those?" " What does it matter?" "Your friend with the crazy clothes, what's her name?" "Tutti." "Yeah." "I heard her talking with you on your cell phone last week about kissing that boy." " So she didn't actually tell you about him?" " No." "And I said some things to him that I probably shouldn't have." "I just..." "I didn't know" " you were gonna be so good this year." " I nailed Tutti for that one." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." " You must feel the pressure, too." " Me?" "I've seen you out there with your dad." "I have five brothers and sisters at home." "I have to drag my father out here." "I play soccer for me." "What do you mean?" "When I'm with the ball out here, it's like I'm moving to the music." "Like a samba." "When we've got it all going, girl," "I am the music." "I'm out of here in June, and I'm gonna roll with soccer as far as I can." "National Team, college, whatever." "Come on, let's go." "Okay." "But samba or no samba, I wanna be on that plane to Florida just as badly as you do." "Fine." "MAN:" "Great run, guys." "Everybody get stretched." "There's your boy."

"MAN 1:" "Welcome, everybody, to the Positive Coaching workshop, where it's all about honoring the game." "Together we're gonna explore how to transform youth sports, so sports can transform youth." "If I moved away, that would be okay, right?" "Well, they're taking the top scorer?" " Well, then your chances are pretty good." " Dad thinks I'm good enough." "And it would be so cool to get a shot at the Olympics or the World Cup, you know?" "But then I think I'd miss you, and Dad and Tutti." "And there's this boy, even though that's not working out very well." " A boy?" " Yeah, he's..." "Never mind." "Well, you know, I'm not you, but if I had that decision to make..." "There's no decision, Mom." "If I put the ball in the net, I go." "I just..." "I don't know what to hope for." "Well..." "Now is the time when you have to listen to that little voice inside." "You know, the one that tells you what's right to do." "You ever hear that?" "Maybe." "Sort of." "Well, trust it." "And know that no matter what happens, I love you." " Thanks, Mom." " So after dinner, you want one of your dad's healthy smoothies?" " The ones you put ice cream in?" " Come on, says who?" "(CROWD CHEERING)" "COMMENTATOR 1:" "It's Mia, now!" "It's Mia Hamm!" "Shot!"

" Please." "Sorry." "I'm working on some things here." "I just wanted you to know that." "Okay." "You know, it's a big day for us..." "I mean, Sara." "I'm sure she'd like it if we were both there to watch her." "I don't know if I can do that, Gil." "(SINGING) What'll I wear?" "God, I don't know" "What'll I do if no one asks me to go?"

" Hey, kiddo!" " Hey, you scared me." "Well, you scared me, the way you disappeared." " Regina and I are tied for goals, Dad." " I know." "Any last words of advice?" "Their goalkeeper's tall." "Keep your shots low." "Not about that." "There's 14 other girls depending on you." "And so am I." " REGINA:" "Nice move, sophomore." " Thanks." " They're here." " I know." "Are you nervous?" "Yeah." "Listen, let's not even worry about those guys." " Today, it's all about State Cup." " Cool." "I'm there." "All right." "Hey!" "Tutti!" "You hate soccer." "I want to root you on in your moment of glory." "Thanks." "Hey, about the dance..." "It's no biggie." "I heard what happened." " So we're still friends?" " Are you kidding?" "Look up "friends" in the dictionary, our picture's there." " Just go kick some boo-tay!" " Will do." "COMMENTATOR:" "Playing left mid, Jessica Meade!" "Playing left forward, Sara Davis!"

"All right, go grab a shower, kiddo." " I'll give you a ride home." " Actually, I..." " I have to go take care of something." " Something?" " Yes." " Yes." "We'll see you at home for dinner."

"She made the final goal." "It's her ticket to Florida." "Wait." "Regina made the goal?" "So that means she's gonna..." "So you'll be staying..."

"...not a pretty sight." "Oh, me, not you!" "Here we go, now." "Don't eat them all at once, will you?" "I can't resist them, that's my trouble." "Oh, I know." "Me neither." "GIL:" "What an asset that is in life." "The ability to laugh at nothing." "How do they do it? "Don't eat them all at once. "" ""I can't resist them, that's my trouble. "" "Look, she's literally dabbing the tears from her eyes." "See, this is why I'm such a social misfit." "I cannot grin to order." "Thank you." "There you go." "Hi, Irene." "Now don't knock her over, whatever you do." "Well, this is very kind." "Doesn't quite fit in with my exercise programme, of course, but...." "Now that's interesting." "I would have turned left there." "Are you sure you're...." "Gil, would you be really angry if I said I was kidnapping you?" "Now, I'm sorry." "It's just that ever since it came out about Bob and this trollop, tart, whore, whatever you want to call her...." ""Sex worker", if you read The Independent." "I've just had this morbid compulsion, you know, to find out what she's like." "I mean, you can understand that?" "Well, I'm going through his phone bill yesterday." "There was one number kept cropping up all the time I couldn't identify." "So I rang it up and got this answer machine message for someone called Cindy Bracewell, who, as luck would have it, was in the book so...." "I thought we could wait outside the house for a bit." "Maybe catch a glimpse of her." "Right." "It's just the word "we" in that sentence I'm having a problem with." "Moral support, Gil?" "I'd be so grateful." "This is great." "I go out to buy a newspaper, suddenly I'm in a Frederick Forsyth novel." "I mean, what if she's gone away or something?" "On holiday or...." "No, no!" "Get down, get down." "IRENE:" "Oh, my God." "That can't be her, surely." "Would any man in the world fancy that?" "GIL:" "Besides Popeye." "There must be a mistake, we've got the wrong address." "I wouldn't count on that." "GIL:" "What do you think?" "He hasn't come to read her meter." "GIL:" "My God." "I mean, how do you get past her underwear?" "At least they're gonna spare us the details." "I'm stunned." "This is...." "It's just that...." "Well, you know." "Real life sometimes is...too real to be convincing." "She's not what I imagined." "If she'd been some dopey little blonde with a great arse, I don't say I'd forgive him, but you could see the grisly logic of it all." "But now...." "Now, Gil, I don't know." "I'm just very confused." "of all Kenny's girlfriends." "There were so many, he changed them like suits." "Of all his relationships, the one with Daisy Kribotnik was probably the shortest, lasting just 52 seconds from their first meeting to the inevitable break-up." "Hi." "You work here?" "Yes." "I work in copyright for Mr Feldman." "You have very sensuous eyes." "Oh!" "Well." "I would love to lick your eyelids." "Would you let me do that?" "Really?" "Oh, God!" "What's your name?" "Daisy Kribotnik." "Daisy, you're the only woman who's ever understood me, you know that?" "Oh, Kenny." "What is it?" "You're kissing me but it's like something's missing." "What happened to the way we used to kiss?" "That was when we first met." "You can't expect that kind of magic to last forever." "I don't know what's happening to us anymore." "People drift apart, you know?" "We had a great time together, right?" "We can't go on living a lie, Daisy." "ALICE:" "How many times have I seen this sketch now?" "It still makes me laugh." "Which is no mean feat after the day I've had." "And it's not so far removed from the truth when you look at the speed my lot get through their men." "How can the Radio Times call it "lame"?" "I've a good mind to put pen to paper for the first time in my life and...." "Alice?" "Hello." "How are you?" "Erm...." "Yes, fine." "What did I say?" "I said she wouldn't remember us." "Of course she remembers." "Mr and Mrs Bledsoe." "Oh, gosh." "You went out with our son for a while." "Gareth." "That's right, of course." "We called round the other morning." "The neighbours said the best time to catch you in was a Saturday night." "Any time after 9:00." "Yes." "Well, come in, please." "Yes." "Dear old Gareth, I haven't seen him for, what?" "Must be coming up to 1 0 years nearly." "How's he getting on these days?" "I'm afraid just after you left him, he developed an incurable disease of the nervous system." "You're joking." "I mean, well!" "No, of course you're not, obviously, because it's horrible." "And the long and the short of it is, he passed away three weeks ago." "Oh, God!" "I'm so sorry." "How dreadful for you." "Of course, he never met anyone else." "He never wanted to meet anyone else." "He always used to say that you were the centre of his universe." "Oh, stop it." "Mavis, you're making her feel terrible." "She didn't care for the boy, she jacked him in." "We were only together a couple of months and I was so anxious to avoid hurting his feelings." "Yes, well." "This is where it all gets a bit delicate." "So maybe you ought to sit down." "Maybe we ought to sit down." "The thing is we know that you and Gareth had... relations a number of times." "Right." "But I don't know if you're aware of the fact he made video recordings of all the nights you spent together." "Pardon?" "He said it was because he dreaded losing you even then, and he desperately wanted something he could look back on to prove it wasn't a dream." "You're shocked, right?" "Let me tell you, so was I." "On top of everything else, to find out my son's a pervert." "That's a terrible thing to say." "The guy's hidden a camcorder inside a giant teddy bear to film himself on the job!" "Don't try and tell me that's normal behaviour, Mavis." "It's sick." "I remember that teddy bear." "Bearing in mind the poor child's not here anymore, is he, to defend himself," "I think you might just show a little respect while we do this." "Erm, what are they?" "He was terribly anxious we should pass them on to you, once he knew his time was running out." "He said he hoped they would remind you of the happy times you shared." "Of course, personally, I can't watch any of them now without weeping." "What do you mean?" "You mean you've looked at these tapes?" "Sadly, it's the only footage left of our son where he still had the use of all his limbs and organs." "Yes, do you know what, Mrs Bledsoe," "I'm just thinking now perhaps it's best if you hang on to them." "I know how much they mean to you and everything." "That's all right." "We've made copies." "You have." "Okay." "My brother Derek ran them off on his computer." "These...." "What do you call them again?" "Mpegs." "Whatever they are." "Where you can transfer it all to compact disc with no reduction in quality." "Oh, right." "So pretty much anyone in your family can have a look at the two of us now having sex whenever they feel like it." "I'm sorry, Alice." "But we did promise him and...." "I hope we haven't spoilt your evening." "Good morning." "Hi." "I think this must have fallen out of your back pocket the other day." "Fine." "Thank you." "During my moment of madness." "Sorry about all that." "No." "Come on, please, it's...." "Good news?" "Well, no, it's just...." "I get maybe two fan letters a year, you know." "But this one..." "I don't know, it's almost like she's inside my head somehow." "Just the way she writes about her life and how much she relates to my material." ""I began to wonder if there was anyone else out there who thought like I do."" "Wow." "Well, I mean, how can you ever tell." "But she's put her home phone number and her mobile here which...." "Has given you food for thought?" "Well, she'll probably turn out to be 70 years old or something." "Confined to an iron lung." "I notice she hasn't mentioned her age anywhere." "Oh." "Were you in the middle of...." "Because I think they're coming down the road." "Right." "Yeah." "Listen, I just got a couple more bottles here." "Ah!" "Just the people I want to see." "Good morning, Geoffrey." "How are you?" "Oh, not so bad just lately." "Now, did Bridget mention to you next Saturday lunch time we're having a little do for the opening of our new heated pool." "If you'd like to come along, both of you, for a bit of a splash-about." "Sounds like fun." "We were actually wondering, Gil, if you might do the honours for us and cut the ribbon?" "Being a local celebrity." "Ah, well, if you want to scare everyone away." "I don't know." "Course he will." "Just give him the scissors." "And if you could make a little speech of some sort?" "Something a bit hilarious, you know, people around here would appreciate." "The thing is, Geoffrey, standing in front of a crowd of people, I get very nervous." "Oh, my God!" "I'm sorry to interrupt." "Is that your wheelie bin, Irene, going into the crusher?" "Oh, my God, it is!" "Oh, excuse me!" "What are you doing?" "That's my wheelie bin!" "Anyway, remember then." "Next Saturday, 1 2:30 to 1 :00." "I'll see you there." "Come on, Bonbon." "How bad a swear word is "bollocks"?" "How'd you mean?" "I was doing a gift wrap for this woman and accidentally cut my finger." "You should have seen her face." "It was like I'd said "bugger" or something." "Well, how's "bugger" worse than "bollocks"?" "I'd never say "bugger" to a customer." "Well, you wouldn't say "bugger" or "bollocks"." "But "bollocks" is worse." ""Bugger", "bollocks" and "shit" you should always be careful of." "Then where does "shite" come in?" "I always thought "shite" and "shit" were the same, but someone said "shit" was less shocking than "shite", which to me, I'm sorry, is bollocks." "If I could just interrupt this intellectual ferment for a second, to remind you that I won't be around for the next couple of days and if Mr Pickering hears any of that kind of chitchat going on...." "We'll be thinking of you slaving away at your conference, won't we?" "Free night in a big swish hotel, food and booze coming out of your ears." "Hey!" "It'll be no Swiss picnic, believe me." "Sharing a room with that junior account manager from Harrods again." "The lovely Rochelle." "Rochelle?" "Is she that part-time model who keeps her thongs on a coat hanger?" "She's got the personality of a pencil and a body you would kill for." "If I stand next to her, it's like the pros and cons of genetic engineering." "Have the two of you still got to do this big speech together in front of everyone?" "Oh, don't." "That's the other thing." "Laura Kelly faxed it over this morning." "Martin Luther King will be turning in his grave." "Oh." "I see what you mean." "Well, good luck." "Oh, God, Ali!" "We forgot to ask, didn't we?" "Oh yes, the tapes!" "So have you watched them yet?" "I haven't watched them." "I can't bring myself to watch them." "I don't know if I'll ever watch them." "I might watch them tonight." "GIL:" "Hey." "Very nice." "I know." "They just delivered it this second." "I've got to give them their due, they're very prompt." "Er, listen." "I don't know how busy you are at the moment, Gil, only... there's something I'd quite like to talk to you about." "You know, there's not a day goes by he doesn't ring me." "Or suddenly pop up somewhere." "From behind the bananas in Sainsbury's or something, begging me to give him another chance." "But after the other day, I suppose it just made me wonder whether I ever really understood him at all." "Whether he ever really understood me." "Well, you'll bounce back." "I'm sure of it." "I will bounce back." "I mean absolutely." "That's what I keep telling myself that maybe we need a kick in the teeth like this sometimes to point us in a new direction." "I mean, he did it to me... so why should I feel ashamed about doing it to him?" "I mean, why should I feel ashamed about having feelings for... a younger man?" "Er..." "Irene, I've have to say something here." "Yes, I know what you're going to think." "That I only want him for his body, but it's not like that at all." "Sorry... who exactly are we talking about here?" "You know, when my wheelie bin went into the crusher yesterday, he was just so nice about it all, and helpful and...." "But here's the really wonderful thing." "Later on, when we met up for a drink down at the pub," "I couldn't believe how much we'd got in common." "Politically and culturally." "I know you'll think that's odd for a dustman, but it was just amazing, you know." "His taste in foods, wine, music, all sorts of things really." "We just hit it off in every department." "My God." "Like you were saying that time, someone who's like a perfect fit for you." "Well, who can tell?" "But it just shows, you should never judge a book by its cover." "Well, listen, that's really great." "I mean...." "In fact, you know what?" "I think I'm going to take my cue from you, why don't I?" "And what the hell, ring her up." "You know, the girl that sent me this letter yesterday?" "Took me half an hour to find it 'cause I guess the wind must've blown it behind the cupboard." "Absolutely, Gil." "You go for it, because what is it they say?" "This is our life, it's not a rehearsal." "And, I mean, who can ever tell what fate has in store for us?" "Wow!" "I see they've managed to put that photo of a serial killer on my ID badge again." "For the third year running." "My God, Alice, you're not serious?" "Let me see." "That's you." "Is it?" "Oh, dear." "Oh, well." "What's in there?" "Your winter wardrobe or...." "I just like to set up a little interface with my man." "You know, for later on." "If he doesn't see me for a while, he gets withdrawal symptoms." "So after we've had our drink with Laura, I may be online for a while, if that's okay." "How about you?" "Is there anyone special in your life right now?" "Well, I'm between boyfriends at the moment, so to speak." "Uh-huh." "ALICE:" "Amazing." "It's like evolution has decided there's no need for a mind in a body like that." "Warmth, depth, a sense of humour, have no role to play anymore in the mating process." "When you think, for instance, what Cleo would have made of that." ""I'm between boyfriends. " "Oh!" "My favourite position!"" "Or any old dumb remark, but, I mean, look at her." "There's just nobody there at all." "And yet, what man in the world would care?" "I think that's me." "Hang on." "Hello?" "No." "The free gift was only with the 50ml spray and the body lotion." "Well, I'm sorry, she can just take it up with Head Office, then." "Not long checked-in actually." "We're meeting Laura downstairs at 5:00, so better get my skates on." "So, anyway, I just wanted to meet and greet." "To make sure we're all on the same page for tomorrow." "The big day." "Oh, God, Laura." "Quaking in my boots, to be honest." "Come on, you'll be fine." "You both got the script, you're okay?" "No problems?" "Yes." "The script was...." "I did sort of think...." "It's very clever, Laura." "And did you write it, the whole thing?" "Well, I basically just want to set out our stall for the next 1 2 months, to clarify our objectives." "But in a way, obviously, that's going to engage the delegates, so I'll be looking for Oscar-winning performances tomorrow from the pair of you." "Is that man staring at me?" "Behind the bar." "Don't tell me it's my imagination." "He's been eyeballing me ever since I walked in here." "Rochelle, you wouldn't be a love and swap places?" "Thank you." "'Cause I don't think I need that, matey, from a perfect stranger." "And if he wants to stare at my bald patch, he's welcome." "So long as he doesn't look at my bald patch." "Careful, Alice." "Too much information." "Guy Cassidy, behave yourself." "GIL:" "I can't believe I'm doing this." "Driving out on a blind date!" "I mean, when do they ever work?" "Well, but why shouldn't it work?" "You were on the phone with her for two hours." "I mean, two hours." "It was like we'd known each other for years." "We just seemed to hit the ground running." "I mean, she just sounded so great." "And the fact she just lives 1 5 miles away, if you're looking for a good omen...." "Okay, you don't actually know what she looks like yet, but, how big a surprise can that be?" "You found it okay, then?" "Moira?" "Yes." "Come on in." "Sit yourself down." "Can I get you a coffee or anything stronger?" "I know you're driving." "No, no." "Actually, I'm fine, thanks." "Erm...." "She'll be down in a second." "Just making herself look decent." "As we women have to, for that all important first impression." "Doesn't want to scare you off before you start...." "Yeah, thanks, Mum." "You think you could be a bit less subtle?" "It won't be me that scares him off." "How are you, Gil?" "Sorry about that." "Tina." "Hi." "Very well indeed." "How you doing?" "Yeah, great." "Well go on then, if you two want to get along." "Gil, it's been lovely to meet you." "Have a good time." "And you are going to be okay after this afternoon?" "Course I am!" "Go on with you." "I mean, I'm sorry that, you know." "Tina, stop worrying." "Just enjoy yourselves." "Thanks, Mum." "Bye." "Have a good time." "ROCHELLE:" "No, don't worry, hon, I've still got bags of time." "We're just getting changed for dinner and then afterwards, I don't know, we'll probably go on to a club or something so...." "Oh, damn!" "No, no." "I think I may have left my folder in the bar." "I guess I should really go back and fetch it." "Oh, yes!" "Thank you, God!" "Don't make me get changed in front of her." "I may have to kill myself." "Still on the table where I left it." "Okay, darling, actually you know," "I'd better be getting off now." "You have a good shoot tomorrow." "Oh, Alice!" "You want to say hi to Christian before we log off?" "Yes." "Hi, Christian." "His webcam just crashed unfortunately, so it's all one-way at the moment." "Okay, bye for now, then." "Love you." "Now, Alice, I was just thinking." "As we've got a moment, maybe we could run through the audio-visual she gave us for tomorrow." "Get an idea how it all goes together." "Are you okay?" "Perhaps I'll just have a small brandy." "So I think the idea is there'll be a big musical introduction, during which, yes, here we are, all these slides will come up, starting with the company logo and mission statement." "And then that's where we'll both walk on, I guess." "And then, it'll be me to start." "Ladies and gentleman, we've heard a great deal about our successes this year." "But today is also a time to look to the future." "To share with you all the goals and aspirations we hold most dear." "Alice." "I have a dream." "Our share of the UK market will maintain its upward trend, enjoying a 1 2% annual growth rate, as our pre-tax profits continue to soar." "I have a dream." "I have a dream." "Our retail account teams across the land will strive next year towards even higher targets, inspired and emboldened by a generous new package of sales incentives." "I have a dream." "I have a dream...." "Are you not just a little bit concerned, Rochelle, about having to say all this?" "Oh!" "No." "Because we'll have those special screens in front of us, remember?" "So we can just read it all." "GIL:" "Now hang on, back up a second." "This, I'm not sure about." "You as a Hell's Angel?" "Are you serious?" "'Cause I'm struggling to get a mental picture here." "I was a real wild child in my late teens." "You wouldn't have recognised me." "So what are you telling me, you used to go bombing round the country in all the leather?" "Helmets with the big horns." "In my misspent youth." "My God!" "I'm having dinner with a Valkyrie." "Now the truth's all coming out." "Yeah, I was just into that whole lifestyle, the music, the bikes, the guys." "I mean, the guys, you know." "It was like, the rougher the better." "At that age, I have to confess, sexually I was pretty...carnivorous." "I don't know about you." "Carnivorous?" "In my late teens, I was living on wild berries and locusts." "Well, yeah, 'cause... when you're young, you just want to rebel, but then, you know, obviously, you grow up, don't you?" "Wake up one day and just go and work in a bank." "Yeah?" "So you're not gonna start biting the heads off of cockerels or...." "I tell you, I did enough mad things back then, thank you very much, to last me a lifetime." "So anyway, you must get bored with everyone asking, so I won't ask." "Obviously, you became a comedy writer because you have a gift." "Well, you know." "Sometimes I think all I really have is the staying power because... most people who think they can't do it don't realise... neither can I, actually." "At least, not without putting myself through immense pain and torment until something remotely decent appears." "And even when you've thought of the funniest thing in the world, you know it's still going to leave half the nation cold because... finding other people who share your sense of humour...." "But also there's an attitude to what you do." "One of the first things I remember, it was silly but there was a point to it." "About three years ago, the girl with the teeth." "Oh, right." "I suppose that was my attempt at a kind of fable." "The story of the lovely Loretta." "Who believed that most men were shallow and only wanted her for her looks." "So to test their mettle, she would go on blind dates, having radically altered her whole appearance." "Halfway through the evening, she'd go to the ladies' room." "And if her blind date was still there when she got back, he'd get a lovely surprise." "But of course, no one she met would ever stay the course." "Until one day... along comes a guy who's different." "So now she's in big trouble." "She realises she's physically repelled, but unable to renege on her principles or blow her cover." "She's forced to go on seeing him for the next six months before gently extricating herself from the relationship." "And I always thought there was so much in that that I absolutely related to." "'Cause it's like, everywhere you look today, in the media, the slightest physical flaw, don't even think about the idea of meeting someone." "It's like, the whole focus, you know, is on how we appear, instead of... what we are." "We're fed so much crap, basically." "Yeah, and it's never going to change so I don't know why I get so worked up about it, but you can see why people develop eating disorders." "GIL:" "Absolutely, it's...." "Anyway, so, this is your local?" "It's nice." "Well, I thought, why take a risk, go with what you know 'cause...." "And the food's pretty good, right?" "ALICE:" "Why can't I just tell her," ""I'm sorry, I think your speech is awful." ""Not only is it corny, it's in deeply questionable taste and I refuse to do it on principle. "" "She'd have a fit." "And no one else seems remotely bothered about it... except me." "Of course, if I'd had my brain removed at birth, like Rochelle," "I wouldn't have to worry about these things, but...." "Oh, God, that was evil." "I've definitely had far too much wine." "So, you were saying, you moved back in with your mother after your dad died." "It's not ideal, obviously, but, well...." "My mother." "That's another whole conversation you don't want to hear about." "Sounds like you've got some problems there at the moment." "Very briefly." "She was due to have this operation next Thursday." "A private operation." "It was...." "Well, anyway, a breast thing." "We'd talked about it, the risks, what was right for her, and she decided to go ahead with this surgery." "And now, at the last minute, they're saying the cost's gone up another GBP2,000, which, of course, it was already going to completely clean her out so...." "The whole thing doesn't really bear thinking about, I'm afraid." "You all finished there?" "Yeah, thanks." "Yeah, thank you." "Hey, now listen... that movie I was telling you about on the phone." "La Belle Danielle." "If you're up for it later on, what do you reckon?" ""Warning: includes strong erotic content," ""nudity and scenes of a sexually graphic nature."" "Yeah, but once you get involved in the story, you hardly notice." "I see." "Well, thank you, Alice." "That's just what I needed before I go to bed." "I mean, I'm not trying to be difficult, Laura." "I understand, obviously, how important the whole thing is to the branch and everything." "Maybe you don't understand what's riding on this presentation." "UK Head Office." "Caryn Werner from New York, the entire team from Paris." "The eyes of the world, Alice, will be on us at 2:00 tomorrow." "To just cry off suddenly at the 1 1 th hour...." "I know, I know." "I suppose it's only since I've had a few drinks that...." "It's just... if we can't ever say anything about things we feel strongly about... in the case of where...." "Well, something like this." "I just think it's terrible to think we don't care anymore because... don't you think it's even a bit offensive?" "Well, clearly not or I wouldn't have written it." "Do you imagine anyone else in that room is going to give it a second thought besides you?" "I wonder sometimes if you take life too seriously or not seriously enough." "Okay." "I can't put a gun to your head." "But it's interesting, isn't it?" "Rochelle doesn't seem to have a problem." "Perhaps that's something I'll bear in mind at the next staffing review." "Yes." "Right." "Night then, Laura." "Good night, Alice." "Alice." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Okay, I'll just go slip off this disguise and you won't recognise me." "Bill, you all right?" "You're on a promise again then, out there?" "That blonde number?" "You lucky turd." "Don't he ever get a day off?" "Luck's got nothing to do with it, mate, you've gotta put the hours in." "This one, I had to do a big number about Napa Valley wines." "Favourite artist, Harry Connick Jr, a little bit of Daily Mail politics, that all takes very careful research." "Going through the recycle bag." "Absolutely." "Two, maybe three weeks' worth, till I built up a profile." "Magazines and papers, empty bottles, you got receipts from shops, record stores." "After that, it's all down to my animal magnetism." "One day, Ray, they're going to rumble you." "Anyway, I'll have her when you're finished, eh?" "I'll bring you back a doggy bag." "Oh, don't worry, she won't be back till the early hours." "They've all gone off clubbing somewhere." "Now come on, tell me, what's happened?" "I'd just gone downstairs to check my pigeonhole, suddenly I felt I needed the loo." "Why I couldn't have waited another five minutes, but...." "So..." "I'm going into the gents, Just off the lobby and I see that chappie." "You remember, earlier on at the bar?" "Start to follow me in." "Well, I'm straight inside that cubicle, thank you very much, taking no chances." "What happens next?" "I hear him step inside the one next to me and close the door." "I'm standing there, Alice, and I can't believe what I'm seeing." "The toilet roll starts to rise slowly from the wall." "Wobbles, for a second, on the wire spindle, then slides off onto the floor, revealing, underneath, a small, round, aperture in the wall." "What's technically known, I believe, as a "glory hole"." "Through which this ghastly man is threading his genitalia for my consideration!" "I nearly passed out on the spot!" "My God." "That must have taken you aback." "Taken me aback?" "I'm no prude, Alice, but it's not what I expect in a four star hotel." "I don't care how hard it is to get good staff." "Well, you'll have to report it, obviously." "Oh, God, Alice, I don't know if I could bear it." "Having to sit there while a police artist sketches various penises." "I can feel myself tensing up again Just at the thought of it." "Let me get you a cold flannel." "Oh, look, and now I'm keeping you up, which isn't fair...." "Oh, don't worry, I've had a fair dose of it myself this week." "The other night, these videos turned up... of me and a chap I used to go out with 1 0 years ago." "In the heat of passion, which I knew nothing about, and he'd apparently bequeathed to me on his death bed...." "Get out of this room!" "You mean, he'd been secretly filming you while you were...." "It was awful." "As I'm watching them," "I know I should be thinking how terrible and tragic it is, this poor guy who's just died, so young, and I am thinking that, but... mostly I'm thinking... where did that waist go?" "And how much my breasts have dropped and... if I tried that position now, I'd end up in a wheelchair." "And the idea of his parents, and goodness knows who else, all sitting around watching you lying there moaning, with your ankles round your ears." "What's an "mpeg" anyway?" "An mpeg?" "Oh, it's like a video compression system on your computer that lets you store moving images." "I'm so far behind with modern technology." "How you feeling now, anyway?" "Oh, a little bit light-headed still but...." "Oh, it's just the thought, Alice, of what he was after." "I know." "I mean, even if I was...that way inclined," "I cannot see the appeal, I'm sorry." "Yeah, that's right." "How do you mean... that way inclined?" "I mean from a straight perspective, obviously." "It's hard to get into that whole mindset, but, can you imagine?" "Right, so... would you say you get a lot of that, then... people thinking that you are...." "Don't get me started on sexual stereotyping." "It's like, if you don't walk and talk like some caveman in a lager advert, women don't even see you." "Most women." "'Cause I'm sorry, fellas, that's Guy with a "U" not with an "A", okay?" "So...." "You all right?" "Yes." "No." "Funnily enough, I think I'm feeling a bit light-headed now." "Oh, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." "You want to try putting your head between your legs?" "No." "Your legs, or my legs, whichever." "Was that crude or what?" "Alice, I think you should tell me to leave." "Are you sure these aren't getting in the way for you?" "Only I'm so crap at French." "No!" "Listen, you've got to follow the dialogue." "Ah, now, then." "Sorry." "TINA:" "Oh, so this is her?" "It's all so cynical." "The way he's just manipulating her." "It'll last maybe a week, two, and then she's going to feel so... betrayed and wounded by the whole experience." "Yeah, well." "Maybe we should watch the rest of this another time." "It's a bit of a long one and..." "I suppose I should really be getting back." "Oh, okay." "Yeah, I guess." "Sure." "So, maybe you should just tell her, then." "All that stuff you heard in the gents." "Maybe I will, because... well, you know, when I see her Saturday at this stupid party, if I go." "Party?" "Can you believe this neighbour down the road has asked me to open his new swimming pool for him?" "In front of this whole crowd of people, who, you know, their idea of hilarious is a pigeon landing on the net at Wimbledon." "Will I never learn to say no to these things?" "I'm sure you'll be fine." "Stop worrying." "Erm, you wouldn't want to come along, I suppose?" "Fish me out of the water when I try and drown myself." "I'll come along." "Of course." "I'd love to." "Are you ready for the sight of me in a bikini?" "That's the question." "Oh, I think I can cope with that." "Well, you say that, but I'm warning you now." "I don't look like this with my clothes off." "Hey, after everything we've said tonight?" "Come on, I'll run you back." "Thank you." "No, I do." "Because, to make a stand like that, because something's important to you... is a very rare thing these days." "I'm sure she just thinks I'm being all woolly and liberal, but...." "Probably 'cause she hasn't got the first idea, people like her, what was going on over there." "It's like, it's 40 years ago, now who cares?" "They could all do with a serious history lesson." "Am I in the wrong job, Guy?" "Probably, but it helps to talk." "Always." "If the right person's listening." "Oh, hi." "This is all very cosy." "I didn't think you'd still be up." "We were just...." "We were just having a little heart-to-heart, weren't we, but...." "Time to scoot, I guess." "Leave you two ladies in peace, so...." "Night-night." "Night, Guy." "See you in the morning." "Night-night." "I'm afraid to tell you, Rochelle, I've pulled out of that speech tomorrow." "So, you'll be doing it with Laura now, instead." "You're joking." "Why?" "Well...." "Perhaps you'd better ask her." "Didn't she mind?" "Oh, yes." "She most certainly did." "My God, Alice." "What have you done?" "No, no, no." "I mean, after all, you're our guest of honour." "We can hardly object to you bringing a friend along." "I'm sure she's very nice." "Unfortunate, I guess, how certain... choices you make when you're young... tend to hang around for the rest of your life." "And I think we're all agreed it's a fantastic new pool they've got themselves here." "I understand, Sir Ian Templeton, the local Tory MP, came round earlier to try it out." "If you look closely, you can still see his footprints on the water." "Anyway, that's, by the by, so... why don't I get on with it now and away you go!" "So, yeah, I see what you mean about public speaking." "I think you really had them in the palm of your hand there." "Yeah, I think next time if I bring my ukulele and open with a few George Formby numbers...." "Well, they're never going to forgive you, are they?" "For bringing me along?" "But then, you know, it's not our problem, is it?" "No." "No." "It's...." "I mean, listen." "You know, 'cause it's... certainly been a talking point." "They want to stare, let them stare." "If people can't see past the surface, then tough." "As long as we're both comfortable with each other." "I have a dream that one day, and one day soon, our exclusive range of body lotions and all-over cleansing milks will be an integral part of every woman's daily beauty programme." "I have a dream." "I have a dream that every girlfriend, mistress, wife and lover in the land this year will find a Cunegonde parfum de toilette gift set in her Christmas stocking." "I have a dream." "I have a dream that across the nation, our revolutionary depilatory creams will become an essential part of everyday skincare." "So that together with our new exfoliating facial scrub, and anti-wrinkle cream, we all can strive for a pure and perfect complexion at truly affordable prices." "Oh, yes, my friends, I have a dream." "I have a dream." "In the field of men's fragrances, we will vanquish the opposition to trim their sales and enjoy, like Nelson, the scent of victory." "I have a dream." "We can do this very simply, Alice." "If you just set it all down in a letter, I might let you work out your notice." "It wasn't me, Laura!" "Truly and honestly." "Of course you're going to think that...." "I don't care what kind of political point you're trying to make." "It's gross." "It's immature." "Never mind the humiliation you've brought on the company." "Do you think anybody's going to be impressed by that kind of shock tactic?" "You're just cheapening your own argument." "Fine!" "So it doesn't really matter, then, what I say, as you're not prepared to listen to me." "Okay, Laura." "Can I say something?" "You say it cheapens the argument." "I disagree." "I think a good kick up the arse sometimes is the only thing that works with people." "If you want to know who put that picture up there, I can tell you it wasn't Alice." "She doesn't know what an mpeg is, poor love." "Can you really see her downloading an image off the net then burning it onto a CD for that slide show?" "It's a little ambitious." "Exactly." "I plead ignorance and incompetence." "I wouldn't know where to start." "Okay." "Right." "I think I see now where this is going." "In which case, someone's going to have to put their hand up, I think, and tell me who was responsible." "I was." "I did it this morning." "First thing before I gave you the disc back." "I don't believe you." "When you said that to me last night, I don't know, it just made me think." "Very hard." "Because I just couldn't imagine, you know, why you would do a thing like that." "Why did it matter to you so much?" "Or maybe I just didn't know enough about it... to understand." "So then, that's when I logged on." "And started to find things." "Things that...." "And then, of course, I knew." "Why they all went there that day... the 28th of August, 1 96 3." "Washington, DC." "To the reflecting pool." "And I knew when I found that picture, that everyone in the world should see that picture." "Because...." "And I'm...." "I'm sorry, Laura." "If you want me to put that in a letter, I will." "In fact, maybe I'll go and do that now." "Excuse me." "Now I know I'm in love." "Hey!" "I'm not sure I appreciate the irony of being picked up by a rubbish collector." "Oh, God, Gil." "It's been too long." "I'm so out of practice at this game." "I suppose, at Geoffrey's party I should've said something but...." "Yes, well." "You had other things on your mind, it's fair to say." "She did kind of steal the show." "I know." "I can see all the men there mentally dressing her." "Such a part of me admires that about her." "Like a burns victim, you know?" "She's not going to stand there and apologise for it but...." "Because it shouldn't matter." "I mean... why should it matter?" "Well, no, I suppose because...." "I mean it shouldn't, but...." "It's just, you know, you got all those snakes and spiders up her thighs, festering corpses on her back." "It'd be a great day out for the kids, but my trouble, I'm too squeamish." "So then after that, I just didn't call her." "It was terrible." "After we'd had such a great time together and everything seemed to be inch-perfect," "I just... couldn't deal with it." "But then, I don't know, after a week had gone by...." "I'm driving around in my car, wracked with guilt and thinking," ""I've got to confront this and talk to her. "" "So, I just seized the moment and went around the house and knocked on her door." "Tina, I'm really sorry I haven't been in touch...." "Well, don't be!" "'Cause I don't think we'll be seeing each other anymore, will we, after this?" "I know, I know, I should have called but...." "After what you did?" "All that toss about appearances not being important, to go and do something like that behind my back without even bothering to discuss it with me!" "I know, but I...." "Discuss it with...." "Sorry, what are you talking about?" "What am I talking about, Gil?" "I'm talking about the GBP2,000 you secretly sent my mother so she could have a boob job." "Gil, is that you?" "What on earth can I say?" "I was so touched." "Thank you." "After all the arguments and aggro I went through?" "I mean, when that cheque of yours arrived in the post, bless you." "Trying to knock it into her thick head what a stupid, pointless waste of money it was." "I so wanted to get in touch to say thank you" "but she wouldn't give me your address." "Look at her, for God's sake!" "At her age!" "Mum, when will you wake up to the fact that you're not 25 anymore?" "So tell me, anyway, I hope you think it was money well-spent." "The way she'd described it, it sounded like this life and death thing that... as usual, I managed to completely screw up." "Now I've got to live with the fact that I discriminated against someone on the grounds of their skin." "Everything we agreed upon, how important it is to see people as people." "When it came to the crunch, I just failed the test." "Gil, now come on, this is silly." "All you ever do is question yourself and punish yourself and draw attention to your own shortcomings." "I know, but... think of the money I'm saving on therapy." "MILLY:" "My God, is that her?" "I see what you mean." "Well, those are not her own legs, I'm sorry." "ALICE:" "What are you talking about?" "How can she have someone else's legs?" "Are you mad?" "They can do that now." "It's completely possible, technically." "Just take them off another woman and give them to her." "What, a leg transplant?" "But where would they join the new ones on, then, around the bum?" "I'm not talking about in real life." "I mean on the photo, you silly person!" "They just get a picture of Elle MacPherson or someone and swap them over." "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but after spending the night with her," "I can assure you, she has not been tampered with." "Which makes two of us." "God, how wrong can you be about someone." "To do what she did... takes more nerve and character than I'll ever have, bless her." "So she's got it all then, basically." "Well, she's got him for a start." "What does it say?" ""Rochelle Tandy, who last week quit her job as a perfume consultant" ""to pursue a full-time modelling career, is seen here arriving at the whatever, whatever" ""on the arm of her photographer fiancé, Christian Fraser." ""The couple are set to tie the knot later this month."" "So that's that, then." "Off the market." "No hope for us." "Unless...." "What do you think?" "If we both threw ourselves naked in front of him." "Actually, I did that, and it doesn't seem to work, apparently, so...." "I beg your pardon?" "Explain." "Sorry. 1 :59." "Got to get back." "Come on." "But, Ali!" "Hello." "Someone's got a sweet tooth!"

"Okay, we're in second." "Hands at 10 and 2." "You keep it nice and straight till we get a little bit of speed." "I got this." "Relax." "Okay, just listen, all right?" "Then you take your foot off the clutch when I say so," " and you're gonna hear it start." " Then I turn." "No, you just... no, you step on the brake, okay?" "And we come to a nice, gentle stop." " When do I turn?" " You don't turn." " I'm a good Turner." " That's... hey, make sure he understands exactly what you're saying." "Babe, I got this." "Relax." "Sorry." "Sorry." "Delilah, sweetie, let's get out of the road." "This is an active highway." "[Crow cawing]" "All right, come on no." "Let's get some." "Ready?" "Count of three." "One, two, three. [Grunts]" "[Grunting]" "[Strained voice] Ugh, it's not going anywhere!" "I really feel like I should be steering." "Nope." "I need you pushing... harder." " You're so quick to give up on pushing." " Excuse me?" "I guess that's why we weren't born vaginally." "Well, you have a perfectly shaped head, so you're welcome." " What the..." " [Sighs] All right." "Are you stepping on the brake or something?" " Yep, nice and hard." " Ugh." "Why would you do that?" "!" " You said to." " I said after you started." " I'm trying my best." " That's the disappointing part, Honey." " Baby." " Sorry." " What?" " Okay, we're good." " So A.M. or F.M.?" " No, no radio." "10 and 2." "Clutch." "Okay?" "When I say, pop it." " Pop." " Pop it." " Pop it." " You got this." " Clutch." " [Claps hands]" "All right, here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go." " Got it?" " Yep." "Whoo!" "[Grunts]" "[Grunts] [Laughs] Yeah!" "Now we're cooking without gas. [Laughs]" " All right, pop it!" " What?" " Pop the clutch!" " Which one's the clutch?" "Robin:" "The one your foot is on!" " [Engine starts]" " Yeah!" "All right!" "Yes!" "I knew it would work!" "Okay, nice, easy brake!" " What?" " No, that's the gas!" " What?" "!" " Gas!" "Oh, god, he's drifting." "Turn, turn it!" " No!" "Brake!" " Turn, no brake?" " Brake!" " Turn it!" "Brake!" "Jared!" "Oh, my god!" " [Panting] - [Gasps]" "This is the best vacation ever!" "[Sighs deeply]" "Man: ♪ somewhere behind the mountains ♪" "♪ There is a place I figured out... ♪ [music warps, rewinds]" "[Whirring sound]" "[Whispering] Okay, guys, let's jackets on, jackets on." "Jackets on." "Switch the arm." "I think I'm gonna take half a sleeping pill." "Sounds great." "Everybody can have a nice, long nap in the car." "Yeah, you know, I just wanna fall asleep on the plane and wake up on the beach. [Pills rattle]" "Are you sure your sister's up for this?" "Yeah, she's just watching the cat and making sure the house doesn't burn down." "[Laughs]" "I'm a mess." "Yeah, no shit." "[Mouth full] You can leave Noonie with me." "I swear, she'll be safe." "I'm not even sure what she said." " She's more responsible than she looks." " [Groans]" "Just call me if you have any questions, okay?" "[Seat belt whirs]" "Please don't kill her." "[Baby voice] I love you, little bunny." "Bye." "Why are we taking blue thunder?" " It's our trip car." " We're going to the airport." " Yeah, that's a trip." " It's got a bad starter motor."

"Lay a hand on me, and my followers will swoop down on this tin can palace of yours with all the power of the Book of the Damned." "Stow it, you lying bitch." "If you could do that, you'd have done it." "If I wanted to kill you, I'd have done that." "Not that you haven't tried." "You tried to kill me twice." "What is it they say?" "Third time's the charm." "Oh, you're not handing me over to them?" "It's beneath even you." "They're your enemies as well." "All right, Rowena, we get it." "We're all enemies." "Okay?" "But right now, we got bigger fish to fry." "Then we can go back to killing each other." "Ah." "The chicken's come home to roost." "This ghastly force set free when the Mark was removed." "So you know." "I've heard whispers." "As bad as they say?" "Well, let's just say that everyone in this room might hold a piece of the puzzle to corking it back up." "Oh, really?" "And what happens to me once the danger's past?" "How do I know I can trust any of you?" "You don't." "None of us do." "It's a Devil's bargain." "This is a time for all angels to pull together, to put aside our disagreements, and show the big bosses how to save heaven from being taken over." "'Cause it's grunts like us who'll get kicked aside." "Believe me." "The Darkness has a plan for every one of God's creations." "Take over heaven?" "How is that even possible?" "Yeah, who made her God?" "Come on, Daniel." "You know the stories as well as I do." "All powerful, all consuming." "Her beef is with God, not us." "He locked her away." "It's on him to make this right." "Yeah." "And you tell him that next time you see him." "Oh, oops!" "He's not around." "Yeah." "He locked her up." "And you don't think she's gonna wanna get even by tearing apart anything he ever made?" "And you're gonna lead us against her?" "You've never led anyone." "None of us have." "How is that a bad thing, when our leaders do nothing but pit the factions against each other?" "This is in our laps, guys." "So spread the word." "We get past our differences." "We stand united." "And we move." "Now!" "Can this be true?" "His sister?" "Oh, in my day, we'd all be burnt at the stake for even thinking any of this." "You see then, mother, the need for urgency." "Well, if my deciphering of the book is so pivotal," "I'd like to know what's in it for me." "You mean, other than your life?" "Speaking of which," "I'll make you a little deal, mummy." "You pitch in, like a good girl," "I'll call off my assassins." "No more looking over your shoulder..." "For now." "I'll need the Codex, of course." "And the code breaker Charlie devised." "Yeah, you'll get limited access." "Supervised." "We need to know exactly this -- how to open the cage and how to protect Sam once it is." "Just what's in this cage that's so dangerous?" "Lucifer." "Lucifer." "The original dark prince?" "Yes, an archangel so badass that he was personally dumped into the cage by God himself." "Let's get to it then, lads." "♪" "♪" "Do you see what's happening?" "All your favorites, all your chosen, they are suffering!" "Show yourself!" "Hey, Sammy." "Sorry to stick you with witch duty, as fun as that sounds." "Every bit." "But the stuff we're looking for is definitely in the book." "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "No snooping around there." "Focus." "You find anything at the church?" "Uh, just got here." "The cops said that the, uh, the last time the vics were seen alive, one of them a priest, they were talking to some mystery woman." "She was not killed." "Amara?" "Yeah, I'm bettin'." "Apparently, it's a massacre." "The place is covered in blood." "She's upping her game." "She's gonna pass the point where we can deal with her." "Listen, are you sure that you're..." "You're okay with this whole deal?" "No." "Not even a little." "But what choice do we have, you know?" "Okay, well, for the record, I hate it." "Just wait for me." "Don't do anything until I get there." "Right now it's just research, but you got it." "Nothing without you." "All right." "You talk about trust." "No, I don't." "You and your bloodthirsty brother say we're partners in this holy war against Amara, and yet..." "Trussed like a chicken." "You're sitting there with the Book of the Damned and the means to read every word, and you think I'm gonna set you free?" "Do I look crazy?" "Well, you do have unresolved issues with your domineering older brother and the abandonment by your father." "You know what?" "Just get back to work, all right?" "We're running out of time here." "Aha!" "What?" "What now?" "Well, I'll need some ingredients, but you may summon Fergus." "And tell him to bring a handcart." "A handcart?" "We are going to Hell." "I'm okay with that." "Okay, so..." "Hot dog?" "Yeah." "Uh, one." "♪" "Sam, everything is in order." "Fergus is coming." "I promised Dean I'd call." "I promised Lincoln a fun night at the theater." "Things change." "It's now or never." "You felt my presence." "That's why you came here." "You grew up." "Yes." "So this is you now?" "At least for today." "Flop sweat, Sonny?" "Dread of what's to come?" "Can it." "Your barbs may amuse your circle of hags, but you have no idea what you're tampering with, what Lucifer is capable of." "Well, dear, if you can't stand the heat, get out of hell." "I must say, it's not as scenic as I'd expected." "We're in the furthest reaches of hell -- limbo -- where I send unruly souls for time-outs." "This is where I meet with Lucifer?" "What it lacks in ambience, it makes up for in security." "Makes your flesh crawl, doesn't it, moose?" "I get it." "I'm the king of this place." "Still not my cup of tea." "I don't know, Crowley." "I'd say it suits you." "Dark." "Empty." "Fascinating, the utter contempt, when I'm in the midst of saving the Winchesters' bacon." "Again." "The point of this is to save everyone's bacon, including yours." "Let's just hope she knows what she's doing." "The cell won't hold crap if the warding's not right." "Don't you worry about me, Samuel." "I'm a professional." "You're certain you can do this without actually opening the cage?" "We're about to find out, aren't we?" "Foro dega la moray." "Mah ho tah!" "♪" "Now..." "Let's have a go at that cage." "Foh reh say-lah!" "It begins." "You misunderstand my purpose on earth." "Well, do I misunderstand the people you butchered in that park?" "Or in that church?" "I had to get his attention." ""His"?" "God." "I tried praying, calling out in need." "He ignored me." "He forced my hand." "I had no other reason to harm his chosen." "My issue is with my brother, not his creation." "Whatever the deal is between you two, whoever threw the first punch, whoever was daddy's favorite " "There was no daddy." "Whatever." "That mess is your mess." "It's between you two." "You're taking people's lives." "You're taking their souls." "I consumed their souls." "They aren't gone." "They're a part of me." "And in that way, they live forever." "♪" "My old friend Crowley." "A mere acolyte, carrying your torch." "You're too kind." "To yourself." "What do you want of me?" "Sam Winchester." "My old roomie." "Hug it out?" "I gotta say, I'm a little in the dark about this meeting." "Am I up for parole?" "Time off for bad behavior?" "I don't really get visitors." "If it weren't for the crisis topside, you wouldn't be getting one now." "Crisis?" "He's so Alpha, isn't he?" "Probably not relationship material, though." "Mother, you're drooling." "Get ahold of yourself." "You're aware of the Darkness?" "Yikes." "That -- that doesn't sound good." "Um..." "I'm aware of what she was, but that was eons ago." "She's been released, so now she's somewhere... or everywhere on earth." "However did that happen?" "Point is, she poses a threat to all that exists, including you." "Hmm." "Well, that leads me to my next question." "Where's the big burrito himself?" "Where's God in all of this?" "All current indications of his presence are that there are no current indications of his presence." "What?" "Caught the fun bus out of town?" "Figures." "Mm." "But..." "Recently he has reached out to an interested party." "Who?" "Me." "You?" "He answered my prayers." "Did he now?" "And what was Dad's suggestion?" "To seek out you." "Get outta town." "Seriously?" "Who'd have thunk it?" "I see the weariness in your eyes, the mistrust." "I don't blame you." "Don't you?" "It's incredible." "How it endures, the propaganda." "He was so threatened by me, fearful that I would make a more perfect creation than he, so he exiled me." "Virtually erased me." "Passed on stories that I was a threat." "While your brother was going all Kanye, blowing his horn?" "He encouraged religions as monuments to his ego, promised the fearful safety if they'd adore him." "His way or the highway." "Some people find comfort in that." "Golden rule, brother's keeper." "It is his universe, his rules." "What if there were no rules?" "No pain?" "No prayer?" "Just..." "Bliss." "That feeling that you have when you're with me." "For everyone, forever." "Can you hear what they're saying?" "I could if you'd just shut it." "I completely get why you came to me." "Can't ignore God, right?" "God says, "jump," everybody says, "how high"." "So does this mean you're on board?" "Well..." "I did help dad seal up the Darkness all those years ago." "She's quite a force." "Determined to take over everything even back then." "Prone to tantrums." "I can see why Pop is laying low." "A lot of blabber going on." "Surely Sam knows better than to cut some sort of deal." "You know, Fergus, sometimes striking a deal, even a painful one, may be the only option." "Like the hit you took out on me, for instance?" "It's not easy being a parent, knowing when to hug your child, when to kill him." "Now that sis is here," "God's not the only circus in town." "Is she equal to him in power?" "Raw power?" "Sure." "But she's got none of the..." "Experience." "God is a master strategist." "That's why you're here." "And why is that?" "Well, 'cause God needs me to help put the cat back in the bag." "Can't do it by himself." "Seen that movie." "And?" "And I need a ride out of here." "I mean, I look swell in here and everything, but I'd be so much smoke topside." "You want a vessel." "One who's... strong enough to hold me, handy, and available now." "Catch my drift?" "What is it exactly that you want?" "When you make the world of "bliss" and "peace""" "what's in it for you?" "What I deserve." "Which is?" "Everything." "Everything." "I was the beginning, and I will be the end." "I will be all that there is." "So you're..." "You're it." "That would make you God." "No." "God was the light." "I am the dark." "Then what?" "That's all you need to know for now." "You had to know that was pointless." "I know that you're a warrior and your instinct is to resist, but..." "I can't be resisted." "Did you really expect me to agree to this?" "So, what, I just disappear, while you take my body and get set loose on the world again?" "I know." "I know, Sam." "It's a lot to ask." "But desperate times require desperate measures." "That's not desperate." "That's certifiable!" "Okay, hold on there a second, cowboy." "Take a breath." "You have been working with Crowley." "You passed certifiable three off-ramps again." "And look, I'm no fan of the ruler of the universe, but here I am, ready to pitch in." "Sam, why do you think God sent you to me?" "To get my help, which I only now just offered." "Sam, your visions were the word of God." "You can't say no to that." "What was that?" "The future." "The inevitable result of our first meeting." "What you've been feeling since that moment." "What we both felt, that we're bonded." "You're the one who set me free." "No, that was an accident." "It was destiny." "You bore the Mark." "I am the original Mark." "You and I will be together." "No." "No, that's -- that's not gonna happen." "It's so simple, Dean." "We will become one." "Why wouldn't you want that?" "Amara." "You're going to surrender to us and to the judgment of heaven." "Why ever would I submit to anything of God's creation?" "Tell your master to come fetch me himself." "All of heaven's on high alert." "If you resist, each and every angel in the skies will smite you in a single unified blow." "Not even you could survive it." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, fellas, dial it down a bit, okay?" "Look, if you take her down, a whole bunch of people are gonna die." "We're at the point where sacrifice is inevitable." "Amara, no!" "What have you done?" "It's coming." "They will smite you." "Maybe now he'll hear me." "♪" "So have you thought about it, Sam?" "Do I have an invitation to look forward to?" "No." "I won't do it." "There has to be another way." "What the hell's going on?" "Why did the warding fail?" "What's happening?" "Follow me, Fergus." "Together again." "Hey, Sam Winchester, you miss me?" "I bet you did." "♪" "I have to say, you're -- you're extraordinarily calm given the circumstances." "It's pretty much exactly how God told me it was gonna be." "Guess I just have to go with it and play my hand." "And that would make so much sense if it was God that was doing the talking." "You see, Sam, when the Darkness descended, the impact on Hell was massive." "The cage was damaged." "Through the fissures, I was able to reach out." "It wasn't God inside your head, Sam." "It was me." "So you see, he's not with you." "He's never been with you." "It was always just..." "Me." "So I..." "I guess I am your only hope." "It's never gonna happen." "Ah." "Well..." "Settle in there, buddy." "Hey, roomie..." "Upper bunk?" "Lower bunk?" "Or do you wanna share?" "♪" "== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man"

"What's the matter?" "Did you skip alien anatomy at medical school?" "Just to inform you that all procedures are now in place." "Contact me as soon as the extraction is complete." "No matter how you rationalize your beliefs, Da'an, you are more like me than have the courage to admit." "You are wrong." "Unlike you," "I am not biologically engineering the human species." "I am attempting to speed up the human evolution along its natural course, not alter it." "Accelerating human evolution is altering it." "I defy you to tell me how our methodologies are different." "I respect humanity." "Their evolution must be accelerated so we can join with the humans and create a new race that can defeat the Jaridians." "Sir, I need to get the subject back into stasis immediately." "The security risk is too great." "You'll return it to stasis when I'm satisfied I have the fluids I need, not before then." "I am the last of our kind." "The last Taelon to be born in a thousand years." "And I will not allow you to desecrate our gene pool with these barbaric creatures." "We are a dying race." "A joining with the humans will allow both of our races to reach the next level of evolution." "Dr. Bellamy." "Dr. Bellamy!" "Flood the main labs, level 7, stun pattern." "All life forms in the lab are now unconscious." "The Synod will continue to endorse my experiments in human evolution." "Not if I can help it." "Return the subject to stasis." "Did you extract what you needed?" "And you'll be able to isolate the subject's DNA for use in Da'an's experiments?" "I'm not sure about this plan anymore." "We have no idea what effect it'll have..." "Zo'or wants his plans executed as we discussed." "Do you understand?" "Subtitled by Axarion" "They are the Companions." "Aliens come to Earth on a mission of peace." "Their true mission, the secrets they hide, forever alter humanity." "Caught in the struggle between these Taelon Companions and the Human Resistance is Liam Kincaid." "A man who is more than human." "The mysteries of his past hold the key to Earth's future and the fate of mankind." "On Earth Final Conflict." "We're all set." "Thank you." "Today, we stand on the threshold of a remarkable breakthrough in medicine." "Thanks to the unflagging support of Da'an, our American Companion, we have combined human and Taelon technology into a technique that could allow humans to heal themselves in ways that we never dreamed possible." "And now I would like to introduce my team." "Doctors Joyce Belman and Peter Bellamy." "I guess, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." "Yes, you're absolutely right." "I'm very proud to say that Dr. Joyce Belman is my daughter." "Joyce?" "The genesis for our breakthrough came about a year ago, when we were forced to change the course of our research." "The Taelon race is much further along the evolutionary ladder than humanity." "One effect of this advanced evolution is that Taelons can psychically manipulate organic matter." "This is Max." "This morning we pulled Max from poacher's trap." "As you can see, Max's internal organs are severely damaged." "His only hope for survival is our new technique." "The key to the success of this healing technique is the subject's desire to heal himself." "An ape has the requisite intelligence to focus his mind on healing." "Max is being injected with a genetic cocktail." "It contains an evolutionary accelerant derived from Taelon DNA, which will accelerate Max along the evolutionary ladder to the point where he can heal himself." "When will this procedure be used on a human being?" "We're not ready for that yet." "And as a matter of fact, Da'an has been having discussions with President Thompson on this very subject." "And then in the 1990s, President Clinton ban all experiments in human cloning." "At the Dallas facilities, sir, we are dealing with human evolution." "Alright?" "The ramifications for human kind are much broader than even the cloning issues." "I don't only support the current genetic research," "I plan to expand the scope of experiments." "Mr. President, until there's adequate accountability, the only option is to put an immediate halt to genetic research thinking." "Who the hell do you think you are?" "You're on my Cabinet and you're here to serve me." "Yes, and the safeguards on this project are inadequate." "I mean, hell, they're non-existent." "You're wasting my time." "You have absolutely no authority in this matter." "You appointed me as the Secretary of Taelon Relations." "You gave me the authority over everything involving the Taelons." "Everyone said that you were a loose cannon and I was crazy to appoint you to my Cabinet." "But I put politics aside when I named you." "Well, how stupid do you think I am?" "You needed me and my trust fund." "Look," "The thing is that American people don't believe you have the courage to stand up to the Taelons." "I don't need to listen to this." "However, they do know that I'm not afraid of the Taelons," "I proved that in Rho'ha trial." "And if I need to, sir," "I'll take my case to the American public again." "Take your case?" "You don't have a case to take anywhere." "You have no constituency, remember?" "The only public voice you have is the one I give you." "Gave me." "My resignation, effective immediately." "Oh, and by the way, thanks for giving me that public voice." "You know, it's bound to help me in my next job as a campaign manager." "Campaign manager for whom?" "The man running against you for president." "Liam Kincaid, Da'an's Protector." "Joyce Belman, humanity's protector." "That's a big responsibility protecting all of humanity." "That's our role as scientists." "Although, it's easy to lose sight of that once you move away from the science." "You think your mother's gotten away from the science?" "What does it look like to you?" "Well, funding your research is part of the game, Joyce." "And when it comes to the search itself, all that concerns your mother is getting the best people for the job." "Thanks, but I doubt that my mother would agree that she has the best team." "Why would you say that?" "Because, even though I am the most qualified scientist in the field for this project, my mother did everything in her power to make sure that I wasn't on the team." "Okay, Max, let's go, hm?" "How are you feeling?" "I can't believe we saved you." "You are one lucky monkey." "You healed yourself, Max." "They gave you the tools, but you made it happen, hm?" "With his own mind." "I'll get you some food, hm?" "Okay." "Here you go, here you go." "Let me in, huh?" "Here you go, buddy." "Right?" "Be still." "Thank you, Doctor." "Zo'or is trying to terminate this project." "But the Synod has always supported research in evolution." "That is right, but with the threat of Jaridians," "Zo'or's strategy of bioengineering human soldiers rings true to the Synod, as well as to many of your military leaders." "But look what we accomplished today." "The Synod cannot ignore such results." "The only way to save this project, is to prove that the accelerant is effective on a human being." "No." "No, we're not ready for human testing." "That would be scientifically irresponsible at this point." "Joyce disagrees with this assessment." "Joyce is wrong." "Despite your vigorous resistance," "I required you to place Joyce on your team." "She is the leader in this research and I will not have her recommendations ignored without discussion." "If you wanna replace me as leader of this project, then do so." "But as long as I'm in charge here, there will be no human testing until I say so." "How dare you go to Da'an behind my back?" "!" "I believe that we're ready for a human test." "I gave Da'an my honest assessment, just like I gave you." "Your assessment is wrong!" "Of course, you'd say that, mother." "But what have I got to lose?" "You didn't want me on this project in the first place." "What are you trying to prove, Joyce?" "Oh, you don't get it, do you?" "Oh, I get it, believe me!" "I don't think you do." "I wanna see this project succeed." "I know how much this means to you." "I wanted to be a part of it because of that." "I wanna do this for you, mom." "Hey, Max, what's happened to you?" "Doctor Bellamy, something happened to Max." "Better get down here right away." "Bring some help." "Jeff, are you still there or here?" "Oh, my God, what the hell happened here?" "Get a medic down to the lab!" "We have to destroy the tainted accelerant." "It's obviously too volatile." "No!" "Zo'or does not want the accelerant destroyed until the Synod cancels Da'an's project." "Get Max back in the cage." "Do you play?" "Used to." "But I gave it up years ago." "Thanks for coming." "Walk with me." "Joyce, you look... stunning." "Thanks." "I feel great." "Better than ever have." "Have you been here before?" "This is my special place with my mother." "We used to come here together." "Just the two of us." "Those were some of my favorite times while growing up." "Why did you ask me to come here?" "Joyce, what have you done?" "You know what I've done, Liam." "I've injected myself with the accelerant." "And it's taking me so far beyond what any of us imagined." "I'm growing every second." "Learning, changing, evolving." "My ability to manipulate matter isn't limited to healing wounds." "There are no limits." "The accelerant isn't stable." "Max attacked the guards." " They had to..." " Look." "That was the first piece of music my mother taught me." "I was 6." "Don't bother." "My mother will be calling you any second now." "Joyce?" "Why are you answering?" "Where's Liam?" "Don't worry, mom." "He's with me." "Are you okay?" "I've never been better." "And I can't wait to share everything with you." "Share?" "Share what?" "I..." "Oh, my God." "No!" "Joyce!" "The White House today has announced the resignation of Joshua Doors from his post as Secretary of Human-Taelon Relations." "Mr. Doors has scheduled a news conference for later today, where he'll elaborate on his plans for the future." "Thank you for letting me in on your plan." "Well, to be honest with you, I didn't think you cared that much." "Com on, Joshua, you know exactly how I feel about you." "No, I don't." "I mean, we've been dating for what, two months now?" "In secret." "I have no idea why." "I mean, is it because you're afraid of your boss might find out about us?" "Because I don't care if he knows, Lili." "I'm concerned about your safety." "Well, I'm the son of an unspoken billionaire, remember?" "I mean, I've been a target since I was born, lady." "Yes, but your anti-Taelon rhetoric has infuriated a lot of people out there, not to mention the Taelons themselves, and their loyalists." " Like your boss, for instance." " Exactly!" "You have no idea what Sandoval is capable of, and the closer you get to me, the easier it'll be for him to get to you." "Well, I don't live my life in fear, Lili." "Do you?" "No." "I don't." "So what is this plan of yours, anyway?" "Well, I'm gonna be working to defeat Thompson in the presidential race in November." "Taelons are solidly behind Thompson." "Do you really think there's anybody out there who could beat him?" "Well, I think there is one man that has a chance." "Tell me why, why would you do a thing like this?" "It's okay, mom." "It's everything you've ever dreamt of and more." "I'm evolving beyond anything we ever imagined." "Can you reverse the effect of the accelerant?" "Ah, we never got far enough to anticipate reversal." "Well, you better start now, because she's already manipulating her physical environment at will." "And her power is growing." "I don't understand." "The accelerant was directed in the healing centers of the body only." "Well, maybe it operates differently when injected into a human being." "Joyce, If you don't mind I..." "I know you've been working for the Liberation since the Taelons arrived." "Ridiculous." "Don't you understand what I'm telling you, mom?" "I'm evolving way beyond humanity and the Taelons." "I can see everything that's in your mind." "So, you know everything?" "I know you pushed me away to protect me." "I know how much you love me." "I understand all that now." "Joyce, you're right about me." "And we're going to have plenty of time to talk about it." "Right after I reverse the accelerant." "Okay, mom." "You do whatever you need to." " She's toying with us." " I know." " Just doesn't make sense." " What?" "In order for the accelerant to be effective, it has to have the components of both Jaridian and Taelon DNA." "But you don't have access to Jaridian DNA." "I know." "But I was able to synthesize certain components of it in the lab for limited purposes of this experiment." "So what's the problem?" "There's Jaridian DNA in my blood sample, and it's pure Jaridian DNA, not synthesized." "And when it was coupled with Taelon DNA, it allowed me to evolve without restrictions." "Oh, my God." "The vial's contaminated." "Who would have access to actual Jaridian DNA?" "That's precisely the question Zo'or will be asking of Miss Belman." "And this next election is about choice." "The choice that we, as Americans, now have to make along with the rest of the world." "Do we want to determine our own fate?" "Or do we want to follow the lead of President Thompson and allow the Taelons to chart the course of human evolution?" "Well, I prefer to put my trust in humanity." "However, we need a man who will stand up to the Taelons." "I submit to you that there's only one such man who's proven that he can do just that." "And that person is my father," " Jonathan Doors." " Turn that thing off." "What the hell does he think he's doing?" "No, no, wait a minute, Jonathan, he might be right about this." "This could be the perfect time for you to re-emerge." "Since I'm out in the open, there isn't an army in the world big enough to protect me." "No, think about this." "You'll be the most visible person on Earth." "The press will be covering you 24 hours a day." "Yeah, the Taelons can't very well kill you with the whole world watching." "I mean, they'll, at least, have to wait until the cameras are turned off." "Very funny." "Jonathan, come on!" "At least, consider it." "And since you injected the accelerant, you have been evolving." "At an increased rate." "How many more ways can I explain this to you?" "With your limited intelligence, it's not a concept that you can easily grasp." "My intelligence is not so limited." "Perhaps, you can explain to me what is happening to you." "I have nothing to say to you." "Please, take me back to Earth." "You will return to Earth when I say it's time." "You think you can keep me here?" "I will keep you here as long as I need." "I don't think so." "Contain it." "You're making me stronger." "Kill her." "Security to the bridge!" "Do you want to die?" "But I can only help Joyce if I understand more about the split between the Taelons and the Jaridians." "When the Taelons and the Jaridians were one race, we had a full complement of evolutionary tools, but when our races split apart to evolve along different paths, each of our races lacked a vital evolutionary component in our DNA." "But Joyce's DNA has the fully integrated evolutionary components of both species." "Yes!" "For the first time since the races split." "And as a result, Joyce is certain to evolve beyond where either the Taelons or the Jaridians could evolve." "Why haven't the Taelons injected themselves with Jaridian DNA?" "Wouldn't that give you the power you need to defeat the Jaridians?" "We've tried." "But our two races are no longer compatible." "I believe that humanity is the missing link, and Joyce has apparently proven that." "Humanity is too far down the evolutionary chain for me to even consider including them in my new world." "But I did have high hopes that some Taelons might be worthy." "Unfortunately, I was wrong." "The Taelons are just as pitiable as humanity." "And what is this new world you're talking about?" "The same new world you wanna create on Earth." "Only you don't have the power to make it happen." "We are on Earth to work with the humans to destroy a common enemy." "You waste our time by lying to me." "I understand your thoughts better than even you do." "I know exactly what your ultimate plan is." "And what is your ultimate plan?" "To start over." "To rid the earth of humanity and Taelons and start over." "With beings created in my own image." "This ship will be a very effective tool to destroy you all." "And very dramatic too." "All systems are down." "We're drifting." "We're experiencing a gravitational pull away form lunar orbit." "We're on a collision course with Earth." "This is unnecessary." "Certainly, we can come to a mutually beneficial arrangement." "You have nothing to offer me." "Focus all efforts on regaining navigational control." "Joyce disabled the ship." "The mother ship crashes into Earth, it will cause the interdimensional drives to rupture." "The force of the explosion will scatter pieces of the earth across different dimensions." "I gotta get up to the mother ship." "Maybe I can help get the navigational controls online." "When the engineers that built the navigational drives cannot?" "I can't just sit here and watch people die." "You've got to stop what you're doing." "Why?" "These humans and Taelons are nothing." "But you're different." "I came for you." "Then you wasted the trip." "I know that you have countless races from all over the galaxy inside you." "You are greater than anyone on this planet." "And after I cleanse the earth of humanity and Taelons, we'll start a new race together." "We'll be like Adam and Eve." "How can you call yourself an evolved being, when you talk of destroying two civilizations to serve your own vanity?" "And Taelons are evolved?" "How many thousands of races have you destroyed in your battle with the Jaridians?" "That is a matter of survival." "I wonder if those who you destroyed would see it that way." "Velocity is increasing as we drop closer to the earth." "If we can restore the conventional drives in time we can avoid collision." "How long do we have?" "The critical distance is at 28,000 km." "Any closer than that, our conventional drives will not have enough power to make the course correction." "What about the interdimensional drive?" "Engineering says there's no time." "Restoring the conventional drives is our only hope." "Divert all engineers to the conventional drive unit." "I'll assist in engineering." "Augur, engineering claims that sudden drain damaged the interdimensional drive unit and it'll take hours for them to power back up." "Sounds right." "I suggest focusing on the conventional drives." "We are, but if we don't restore power before 28,000 km the conventional drives won't help us." "I can't argue with that." "Oh, you're a big help, Augur." "Come on!" "There's got to be a way to jump start the interdimensional drives so we don't have to wait so long for them to power up." "Liam, why can't you comprehend what I'm offering you?" "It's a chance to create a world a your own image." "I'm not arrogant enough to believe that a world created in my own image is a desirable goal." "With a chance to reflect, you'd come to the same conclusion." "How can I make you understand this?" "You're like a child who suddenly has been given all the power of the universe, but without the maturity to understand what to do with it." "I'm giving you a chance to be a god." "I won't ask you again." "The only reason you're still here is because you need me." "You can't procreate by yourself." "There are billions of beings on this planet." "Any one of them will suffice." "No." "No." "You need someone with Taelon, Jaridian and human DNA like you." "And I'm the only game in town." "I can force you." "No." "You won't have to." "I'll go with you." "Willingly." "Approaching 38.000 km." "Engineering will be ready to fire up the conventional drives in 45 seconds." "Will we still be within the effective range to divert the ship's course?" "Yes." "Barely." "President Thompson has joined with all world leaders and calling for calm in the face of this potential disaster." "But as expected, this has done little to ease the fear of people around the globe." "Our only hope now is that the mother ship's engines are strong enough to steer her away from Earth." "They're ready." "And we're within range." "Engage the drives." "The conventional drives weren't strong enough to resist the Earth's gravitational pull." "We are still on the destruction course for Earth." "It's time for us to go." "Not until you do something for me." "I need you to feel all the races inside of me." "All the races that you threaten." "Take a leap of faith." "Join with me." "Okay, Augur, let's go." "Impresses me with your brilliance." "If we start a fusion reaction within the interdimensional drive unit, it could generate sufficient force to power up the unit." " That sounds too easy." " I know." "The hard part is controlling the magnitude of the reaction." "If it's too weak, then the drive unit won't respond, but if the reaction is too strong..." "Yes, I get the picture, Augur, just tell me something." "What's the margin for error?" "There's none." "You have to hit it perfectly." "Okay." "Then, can we control the reaction?" "Yeah, but no time to test it." "I'm working in the dark here!" "Yeah, well, rumor has it you do your best work in the dark." "Start with the light transmission cables in the left unit." "T minus 45 seconds to impact." "I'm making the last connection." " It's done." " Get the hell out of there." "There's someone on the interdimensional drive deck." "A last ditch effort of a Taelon engineer who refuses to go quietly." " Yes?" " Activate interdimensional." " Captain, don't you..." " Activate it now!" "Interdimensional drives are operational." "We must prepare for Joyce's return." "She will definitely be back." "Any suggestions?" "I understand now." "The countless species inside you, they're all integral parts of the fabric of life in the universe." "Without them, my life has no meaning." "You allowed me to see that." "Thank you." "For sharing yourself." "You know more about me than I do about myself." "I know what's inside of me, but I can't reach it." "You will when you need to." "Can you help me to understand who I am?" "No." "You have to discover that for yourself." "You have a great journey ahead of you." "My time here isn't quite finished." "It's okay, Max." "This was my fault." "Now you'll be the way you were." "I haven't been here in twenty years." "And I've never stopped coming here." "I didn't know that, Joyce." "I'm so sorry." "Oh, I'm so sorry about so many things." "I know." "But there's no reason to be sorry now." "I forgive you." "I have to go now." "Why?" "Why do you have to leave?" "Because I've come so far." "I don't belong here anymore." "I love you, mom." "I love you too." "That's a hell of a way to say hello, after 3 years of silence." "Subtitled by Axarion"

"HAZMA T team to Cargo Bay 7." "HAZMA T team to Cargo Bay 7." "Ambassador G'Kar." "Welcome back." "Captain Lochley." "Well, this is an honor." "I thought after everything you went through on Centauri Prime you might like to see a friendly face." " How's Londo?" " I don't know." "Though I mourn for my own people, in all my life I don't think I've ever felt more pity for anyone than I do for him." "Maybe Emperor Mollari has more of a chance at happiness than Ambassador Mollari ever did." " I doubt it." "At least now things will settle down here for a while." "Maybe." "There are a few of your people waiting to see you in Customs." "Just a few?" "Good." "My presence on Centauri Prime during this little war has probably cooled their enthusiasm a bit." "I was afraid for a while that this cult of personality was getting out of hand." "What matters is that you came to meet me." "G'Kar, I wouldn't have missed this for the world." "G'Kar." "G'Kar!" "G'Kar!" "G'Kar!" "G'Kar!" "I better go." "I have a meeting with the president and Mr. Garibaldi." " Captain!" " See you." "L..." "Yeah?" " Michael, what's up?" " What's up what?" " Look, the meeting is about to start." " No, the meeting's at 4:00." "No, the meeting is at 2, Michael." "Now, you better get down here fast." "Sorry, there..." "There was a mix-up about the time." "It's all right." "Since you're already up, why don't you start." "Well, sure." "Well, there's no secret that the Drazi didn't mind the bombing of Centauri Prime." "Since the Minbari..." "Since the Centauri are the main competitors for trade and..." " Mr. Garibaldi." " Sir?" "You're drunk." "Mr. President, I..." "Delenn, I need to see you out in the hall." "The rest of you are dismissed." "We will reconvene later." "Michael, stay." "And so it begins." " There's a hole in your mind." " What do you want?" "No one here is exactly what he appears." "Commander Sinclair is being reassigned." "Why don't you eliminate the entire Narn Homeworld?" "I see a great hand reaching out of the stars." "President Clark signed a decree declaring martial law." "These orders have forced us to declare independence." "Unless your people get off their encounter-suited butts and do something..." " You're The One who was." " lf you go to Z'Ha'Dum, you will die." "Why are you here?" "I think of my beautiful city in flames." "Giants in the playground." "Get out of our galaxy!" "We are here to place President Clark under arrest." "Please, sit." "If you don't mind, I'd rather stand." "Suit yourself." "So when did you start drinking again?" "Look, if you're gonna fire me, please just do it." "Get it over with." " When did you start drinking again?" " I don't know." "Not long ago." "A couple of months." "Yeah." "That's just about what I figured." "You knew?" "I suspected." "I worried." "I tried to convince myself that I was reading too much into the meetings where you were late or unprepared." "The recent decline in your performance." "You've been under a great deal of pressure lately." "What we went through at the end of the civil war, then coming here without even a break in between." "I tried to tell myself that it was just the strain of the last year or so." "I didn't know for sure until today." "John, you've got every reason to be angry with me..." "I'm not angry with you." "Not now." "I was." "But Delenn has a way of looking at things that..." "No." "No, I'm not angry with you." "But I am very disappointed, Michael." "I'd rather have you yelling at me or angry." "Anything but disappointed." "I know I failed." "I didn't say I was disappointed in you because of your failure." "I'm disappointed because I didn't pick up on this earlier." "Disappointed because you felt that you couldn't come to me about this on your own." "When Stephen had his problem a couple of years ago I didn't offer my help when I should have and he damn near died trying to deal with his problem on his own." "I have made a lot of mistakes, same as everybody else." "But I try not to make the same mistake twice." "So I'm not fired?" "I didn't say that." "I can't let this go unanswered." "You know that." "But on your own the only person you have to worry about hurting or helping is yourself." "So, no, you're not fired." "But I am placing you on suspension." "How long?" "Until you work this out." "That could take a very long time." "It'll take what it takes." "We've had our problems, Michael but I am still your friend." "You have to understand that your problem is not between you and me you and your job, or any of that." "Your problem is between you and you." "And when you've worked this out we'll be here." "No, thank you." "I appreciate it, but no." "Alrighty." "Thank you." "Go away!" "G'Kar, it's Dr. Franklin." "I need to speak with you for a moment, please." "Enter." "Quite a line you got out there, G'Kar." "I thought I had a big waiting room." "I've stopped trying to count them." "And more come by the hour." "By the minute." " I don't understand it." " Well, I do." "Your government's been trying to get ahold of you ever since you got back but you're not taking calls." "It seemed a simpler way of achieving a little peace than hanging myself." "But why did the Kha'Ri call you?" "Doctors are supposed to get involved in errands of mercy and that's how they pitched it to me." "They want me to tell you that your Homeworld is up in arms, G'Kar." "Half of them want you to take charge of the whole place." "I've told them no before." "My decision stands." "Please." "Thank you." "What do the other half want?" "For you to come back long enough to give them your blessing and let them run Narn on your behalf." "Your popularity back home has kicked into high gear." "On what basis?" "Apparently your people believe that your presence on Centauri Prime allowed them to attack without retribution." "You came through it alive, which they're considering another not-so-minor miracle and you don't want the power." "People love giving power to those they believe don't want it." "This is insane." "Yeah, well, that's as good a word as any." "I spoke with the captain." "She says that more ships are arriving from Narn every hour bringing more pilgrims who want to learn from me." "If I stay here, we'll be flooded with my people." "If I go home, they'll make me into..." "Into this." "That doesn't leave a lot of options, now, does it?" "None at all." "I've never understood that." "Why does the universe give us puzzles with no answers?" "Payback, maybe." "Evening up the scales a little." "The other day I was thinking about what you said about God a few weeks ago and I remembered an old human saying:" ""Can God make a rock so big that even he can't lift it?"" "Yes, I've heard it, but..." "I wonder if that's the wrong question." "I wonder if the right question is:" ""Can God create a puzzle so difficult, a riddle so complex that even he can't solve it?"" "What if that's us?" "Maybe a problem like this is God's way of doing to us a little of what we do to him." " Captain?" " Yes, Zack, what is it?" "I've got an emergency transmission from Earth Security HQ standing by." "I figured you should be in on it." "Captain, good." "I was just telling Mr. Allan that we've got a serious problem on our hands." "During the last month, there have been a dozen more attacks on Psi Corps property." "Bombings, sabotage, you name it." "Now, we believe those responsible are amateurs but they're making up for it with resources." "High-tech weapons, munitions, com systems, they've got it all." "You have my sympathy, but I really don't see what you expect us to do about it." " This is an internal matter..." " That runs right through your office." "Point one:" "At the site of every bombing we've found the words "Remember Byron" painted on the walls." "Didn't you have a telepath named Byron come through Babylon 5 lately..." " ..." "leading a group of rogue telepaths?" " Yes, ma'am, but that was..." "Point two:" "We've traced the money used to purchase the weapons used in these attacks through several shell companies." "The money trail ends at Babylon 5." "Lyta." "Now, you are under orders to detain Lyta Alexander for questioning arrest her if necessary and return her to Earth for a full inquiry into her involvement in these terrorist attacks." "Yeah, open." "Mr. Garibaldi." "Just thought I'd come by and see how you're doing." "Me?" "I am screwed up one side and down the other." "This must be a really great day for you, captain." "You got what you wanted." "I'm history." "The president told me you were suspended, not fired." "Same difference." "We both know I'm not getting my job back anytime soon." "Not after all this." "If that's what you've decided, then that's what's gonna happen." "But you do have the option to choose otherwise." "Thanks for the fortune-cookie wisdom." " Anything else?" " No, not really." "I just thought I'd come by, offer any help I can and tell you that I understand." "You understand." "And you wanna help." "You?" "Even after we've locked horns from day one?" "That's right." "What makes you think that you understand?" "What makes you think you know what I'm going through?" "Please tell me, because I could use a good laugh." "All right." " You're angry." " Bravo, Miss Holmes." "A masterpiece of investigative work." "Please, go on." "Because you feel like you're alone, you need that anger to push away anybody whose compassion might contradict you." "Because you feel like you're not in control hey, you may as well go even further out of control." "And because you can't hurt the people who hurt you, like Bester you've gotta lash out at everybody else." "See, the drinking gives a control freak like you permission to let it go." "To be angry, to lash out, to lose it." "Did you get that out of a book?" "Was it a psychology text, or was it one of those pop-up books?" "Mr. Garibaldi my father was an alcoholic." " I am not an..." "When he was drunk, he used to lash out at us like you're lashing out at me right now." "He wasn't mad at us." "He was mad at himself at what he was, at the walls that were closing in around him." "And because he was career military he thought he had to keep it buttoned up." "Shirts pressed, chin up, "Yes, sir." "No, sir," nothing in between." "Doesn't matter what you feel." "You keep it down." "See, the alcohol gave him permission to let go." "And what was he angry about?" "At the time, I didn't know." "I was just a kid, how was I supposed to understand any of this?" "I figured it was..." "It was my fault somehow." "So I was always trying to fix whatever it was." "Nothing worked." "And after a while, I got so frustrated so hurt, that I ran away from home." "Which just confirmed his suspicions." "Same ones you've got." " And what are those?" " That you're a failure." "You're not good enough to handle the job and you got no business here." "I'll tell you what, captain." "I've got a few things to do around here, so why don't you just leave." " Not until I'm finished." " Get out!" " No!" " Fine!" "Then I'm gonna leave." "What's wrong with you?" "Can't you take a hint?" "I'm not finished." "Besides, you're just walking away to see if I'll follow." "Why don't you stop trying to tell me what I think?" "Okay." "Then I'll tell you a little more about my father." "Green 2!" "After my mother died, I had to go through the house and figure out what to sell, what to keep." "While I was going through the attic I came across some paintings." "Landscapes, portraits." "Beautiful work." "I looked at the signature and they'd been painted by my father." "It was the one thing he loved, almost as much as he loved my mother." "He never wanted to be in the military." "He just did it because everybody expected him to." "Like his father, and his father before that." "He stopped painting the day he enlisted." "But he wanted to paint." "He was good at it." "And it was killing him not to one drink at a time." "He didn't see any way out of his life, any way to change it." "But the door's always there, Michael." "You just have to open it." "Okay, fine." "So you had a hard life and your old man had some real life problems." "But that doesn't mean that you understand what I'm going through." "In all the time you've been here, I've never seen you drink." "No, you haven't because I've got the same exact damn problem you've got." " I didn't..." " No, no, of course you didn't." "You see children of alcoholics usually end up one of two ways." "Either they try to help everybody else because they couldn't help themselves or they become alcoholics." "I couldn't stop what was happening to my father so I became the very thing I hated." "Oh, if it could be swallowed, shot or smoked, oh, I did it until somebody very close to me died." "Then I realized what I was doing." "After that I tried to get better." "And it hasn't been easy." "Every day is a struggle." "So if you think I don't know what you're feeling, mister, you're wrong." "You're dead wrong." "Maybe that's why we didn't get along from day one." "Maybe we recognized too much of ourselves in the other person." "I couldn't help my father." "And I couldn't help myself at the time but maybe I can help you, the only way I know how." "By telling you all that." "At least you know you're not alone." "Everything else is up to you." " Sorry to be late." "Sheridan here?" " No, not yet." "He said he wanted to be here when we arrested her." "We can't wait forever." "Where is she?" "Over there." "The guy she's talking to is Wolfgang Schneider, an arms dealer." "Works with the Narns a lot, but strictly freelance." "Pretty blatant, meeting out in the open like this." "Probably means she's not worried about interference from us." "If that doesn't worry you, it scares the hell out of me." " All right, everybody in place?" " Yeah, parked and ready to go." " Let's go." " All right, follow us in." "Lyta, we need to talk to you." "Go ahead." "I'll catch up with you later." "We'd like you to come with us." " Am I under arrest, Zack?" " We need you to answer some questions." "Now, we can do this any way you like." "But if we have to arrest you, that's what we'll do." "What's the charge?" "Aiding and abetting terrorist activities back home." "There's no reason to make a scene here." "Just come with us." "What if I don't want to go?" "I don't think you have a lot of choice." "Are you sure about that, captain?" "Lyta." "I'm tired of being pushed around, captain." "I do not choose to be arrested." "I've done a lot for this place." "Just once, I think a little gratitude would be in order, don't you?" " Lyta, don't force us to..." " To what?" "Zack." "You cannot harm me." "You cannot stop someone who's been touched by Vorlons." "You're not the only one that's been touched by the Vorlons." "Let them go." "Let them go or I'll blow the back of your skull off." "You can't be everywhere, Mr. President." "Good point." "Get her out of here and put her in Level 1 lockup." "I hate myself for saying this but maybe you should've pulled the trigger while you could." "We may not get another chance." "Captain." "Captain, I've been looking for you." "I heard about what happened with Lyta." "Yeah." "What the hell's going on with her, anyway?" "Her attitude and her abilities, getting more destructive every day." "Maybe they're linked somehow." "The angrier she gets, the more her abilities increase?" "Maybe the other way around." "She's been through hell lately and maybe just hit the end of the road." "Great." "So now what do I do with her?" "I can't keep her locked up indefinitely." "And if I try to send her home it'll be a bloodbath." "I'm glad you're here." "There's something you should see." "Before we do that the reason that I was looking for you was..." "Well, I just want to say I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier." "I know how hard that must've been for you and I appreciate what you said and why you said it." "I don't know what I'm gonna do about it yet, but I just wanted to say thanks." "Yeah." "Okay." "Okay, I'll bite." "What am I looking for?" "Michael!" "Lise!" " I came as soon as I got your message." " My...?" "There's nothing like the love of a good woman to keep your spirits up, is there?" "What part of my message did you get?" "We've had trouble with the com system." "The most important part." "The part that said, "I need you."" " And you came here just on that?" " What more is there?" "Oh, it's good to see you." "I just heard the news." "Is that her?" "Yeah." "We put her in the brig furthest away from any human contact and put the system on auto-maintenance." "Now, that should make it harder for her to influence anyone to let her out." "Water?" " No." "No, thanks." " I just don't understand it, Stephen." "What could make her turn like this?" "Well, let's see." "She was adjusted by the Vorlons dumped by the Vorlons, used as a weapon, quit the Corps lost the only man she ever loved and dedicated herself to finishing his work." "Pick one or all of the above and, let's face it, she's pissed." "Massively." "No, there's something more going on here." "Something that pushed her over the edge." "I mean, first Londo, then Garibaldi, and now this." "I tell you, the next person who acts irrationally I'm gonna shoot myself in the head." "Bastards!" " Did she just...?" " She did." " I'll get the gun." " Delenn, are you...?" " Bastards!" " Yeah, we got that part." "The Narn government says they're going to boycott our ships until G'Kar comes home." "Well, that's not our choice." "He doesn't want to go home." "They say he's staying here out of a sense of obligation." "And that if we tell him to go home, he will." " They're insane." " I know!" "And I just..." "I don't think I can..." "I..." "Delenn?" "Franklin to Medlab 1." "We need a trauma team, Sheridan's office, stat." "The bottom line is, I'm suspended indefinitely till I can get it worked out." "It doesn't matter." "You were gonna leave at the end of the year anyway." "At least, that's what you told me." "Did you mean it?" "Of course I meant it." "That doesn't change anything." "I messed up, Lise." "I messed up more than I've ever messed anything up in my life and I don't know what to do about it." "I'm gonna try and sober up." "I know I can do it." "May take a while." "May take a long while." "What am I supposed to do in the meantime?" " Come back to Mars with me." " No, no, I can't do that not until I get my act together, not until I get it all right." "Well, then, you may as well give up, because nobody gets it 100 percent right." "I just wanna give you a normal life." "There is no normal life, Michael." "There's just life." "I know you have a problem, but we can work through it together." "The hell with this job, Michael." "I need you." "I'm still trying to get a handle on running Edgars Industries." "There's a lot going on a lot I don't understand, a lot I don't want to understand." "You can be a huge help to me, and I can help you." "That's what married couples do." "You..." "You still wanna go through with this?" "More than anything in my entire life." "I lost you twice, Michael." "I have no intention of losing you again." "I'm offering you love and passion and co-ownership of one of the biggest corporations on Mars." "What do you say?" "I'd say that the president just got outbid." "Yeah." "Yeah." "One of the biggest corporations on Mars." "Michael, where are you going?" "To kill two teeps with one stone." " Well, how is she?" " She's stable for now." "Only time will tell if her system can adjust to the stress she's putting on it." "That's why she just shut down like that." "Look, you have to understand, she's a Minbari-human hybrid." " Things aren't gonna work the same." " Wait." "What are you talking about?" "What is wrong with her?" "She's pregnant." "Pregnant!" "I didn't even know if she could." "I thought you said that the blood tests were inconclusive." "No, I said that I didn't know if the two of you could ever have children." "We're in uncharted terrain, John." "No, I figured the odds were 100-to-1 against which, I guess, goes to show you I wasn't born to gamble." "Do you want the child?" "Will she be okay?" "You said this is putting a terrible strain on her system." "Will she be able to carry it full term and survive?" "I don't know." "She's young." "She's in good shape." "She's strong-willed, that's for sure." "If you're asking for a yes or no answer, I can't give you one." "The odds are good." "But as we just saw, I have been wrong before." "If I have to choose between the baby and her it's her." "But if I can have both I want both." "I know she'd want it." "Hello, Lyta." "Just want to stop by and see how you were doing." "In case you're wondering, I don't have any access codes." "I don't have any way to get you out of here so we might as well just both relax." "All right?" "I'm..." "I'm just gonna sit over here and we can talk, okay?" "They tell me that you're having problems back home." "I know you think you can fight your way out of it but you're not gonna do any good if they keep you drugged for the trip home." "Once they got you back I'd hate to visit Psi Corps headquarters and see bits of you floating around in jars of formaldehyde." "I think I can help you, Lyta." "I can help you, and..." "And you can help me." "I'll try and get us transferred to a cell where we can talk privately without having that camera watch over us the whole time." "What camera?" "Right." "Okay." "Okay, here's my proposition." "We know you've been funneling money to the underground and, in turn, hitting the Psi Corps." "You're doing it because you don't like what they've done to you and other telepaths." "Well, we've got something in common because I don't like what they've done to me." "They messed with my mind, and Bester planted a neural block in my head that keeps me from nailing that sucker's head to the wall." "That and a few other things that have happened lately have caused me a few problems." " You're drinking again." " Yeah." "I can't help you." "Even I can't get rid of an addiction." " There's no easy solutions." " I know." "Believe me, I do." "But there is one thing that you can do." "You can take out Bester's neural block." "That's when all my problems started to happen again." "If you give me the freedom to get back at him then I might have a chance to get a little control over my life again." "And in return?" "I can have a very influential corporation talk to Earth on your behalf to drop the charges." "But I'd have to leave Babylon 5 and not come back." "That would have to be the deal." "It's not enough." "How much is your revenge worth to you, Michael?" "I told you." "This isn't about revenge." "I am just trying to get back in control of my life again." "Of course." "In that case, I have a counterproposal for you." "We wouldn't be in this situation if G'Kar hadn't given Lyta a hell of a lot of money in exchange for her giving the Narns telepath DNA." "Well, that's still only a rumor, Michael." "And even if it's true Narn internal affairs are strictly off-limits to the Alliance." "Oh, it's true, all right." "All the transactions are in a secret account and only she has the access code." "She's agreed to transfer the money into a secret fund that's gonna be used to help telepaths." "No more blowing stuff up." "Ledgers will be kept." "Accounts will be balanced." "Books will be available for review by anybody who wants to see them." "Now, who's gonna supervise this trust fund?" "She's given me authority to pick someone." "I give you my word every penny in that fund will be accounted for." "Assuming this is true, I don't have the authority to let her go." "You'll have it by the end of the day." "There's a senator who receives a large campaign contribution every year from Edgars Industries who is gonna intercede on her behalf." "Once she's out of the brig, then what?" "I can't just let her wander around Babylon 5 in her current state." "She is extremely powerful, very dangerous and, for my money, unstable." "I happened to catch the last part of your discussion and I believe we have a common solution to our respective problems." "Well, all right, let's hear it." "This is how I've come to be seen by my people." "Despite my best efforts, I've become an icon." "I didn't understand why or how until I saw this." "I realized it's simpler to make a statue to someone who you believe embodies all your better qualities than it is to actually improve yourself." " And this saves you from having to think." " Exactly." "For the last year I've tried to point my people toward the simple truth that we are one, regardless of race." "Somehow that message has gotten twisted so that I have become their idea of the truth personified." "Once you turn into this, you can no longer be who you are." "You can only be what they want you to be, what they expect you to be." "If I return, they will try to make me into this and I cannot allow that." "If I stay here, my followers will continue to disrupt Babylon 5." "Is that not true, captain?" "I hate to say it, but, yes, that's correct." "So you see, Lyta and I are in the same position." "Neither of us can go home and neither of us can stay here any longer." "Then where do you go?" "Out there." "Visiting Centauri Prime helped me understand the Centauri." "And out of that came a new peace between our people." "I also realized that there is so much I have never seen." "How much more could I understand?" "How much more could I help my people if I saw even more of the universe around us?" "I could destroy this by betraying my principles." "But I can't do that." "So I have decided to go away." "I will return when I've found a way to destroy this while keeping the message intact." " What about Lyta?" " I could use a traveling companion." "I have learned a great deal about healing wounds and curing anger." "Perhaps, in my way, I can help her deal with her own anger as I dealt with mine." "Either way, as soon as I put my affairs in order, I am leaving Babylon 5." "And it is entirely possible that I may never return." "Oh, I didn't hear you come in." " Did you talk with the captain?" " Yes, I did." "Did she go for the deal?" "Yeah." "Yeah, she did." "Oh, it turns out that G'Kar's leaving too." "You know, it's funny with him leaving and taking Lyta with him and Franklin taking a job back on Earth me leaving soon, Londo gone..." "Hell, even Sheridan's heading off to Minbar with Delenn as soon as he gets the new facilities for the Alliance in order." "I don't know, it just..." "It doesn't seem like this place is gonna be the same anymore." "Life is change." "It's a good thing." "What matters is you've taken the first step to putting your life back together." "You made a good deal." "Get ready for bed." "You look exhausted." "Oh, yeah." "I made a good deal." "I have a counterproposal for you." "I've done everything I could, Michael." "I raised money to help fight the Psi Corps, but the way they tracked it back to me shows I don't have the background to know how to use it." "You do." "With Edgars Industries, you've got resources, contacts and a way to move large amounts of money without attracting attention." "So here's my deal." "We'll set up two accounts." "The first one's for show." "The second one is the real account, the big one." "Use that money to hurt the Psi Corps and help my people." "You can't hurt Bester because of the neural block but you can help me bring down everything he cares about." "You can help me destroy the Psi Corps and free my people." "Well, why not just remove the neural block?" "Because it's a great motivator." "You won't rest until it's gone and I'm the only hope you've got of ever getting rid of it." "I'll check back with you after two years." "If you've done as I ask, if you've created a force I can use against the Corps I'll take out that neural block." "Then you can deal with Bester." "I'll deal with the Corps." "We both get what we want." "Aren't you taking an awful chance?" "I could just grab the money and run." "I don't believe you'd do that." "If I thought otherwise, I'd kill you where you stand." "How?" "My turn." "You want me as a partner?" "Then I have to be in all the way." "So I need to know, Lyta." "Something's happened to your abilities." "You're not a P-5 anymore." "Hell, you're not even a P-12." "You're the strongest telepath that I've ever seen." "What did the Vorlons do to you, Lyta?" "Who...?" "What are you?" "I've only recently begun to understand it myself." "You know the Vorlons used telepaths as weapons during the Shadow War but what no one stopped to consider was that in a war you have a certain number of small weapons a certain number of medium-size weapons and one or two big ones." "The kind of weapons you drop when you're out of small weapons and the medium weapons and you've got nothing left to use." "Someone like that would be the telepathic equivalent of a thermonuclear device." "A doomsday weapon." "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Garibaldi." "Stop staring at me." "I'm sorry." "I couldn't help it." "One would think you have never seen a pregnant half-human, half-Minbari before." "So why weren't you sleeping?" "I was just laying here and thinking." "We haven't heard a word from Londo since we came back." " I find I miss him." " He's probably just busy." "He's got a lot of responsibilities now." "He'll have to adjust to being emperor, like I had to adjust to my new job." "I'm sure that's all." "Hell, he's probably still celebrating his coronation." "Partying all night." "I hope so." "I hope he's all right, John." "I really do." "[ENGLISH]"

"Good morning, Prime Minister." " Good morning, Prime Minister." " Mm." "Is it the newspapers?" "Yes." "They all say that since my administration came into office, nothing has changed." "You must be very proud." "That's not meant as a compliment." "I read all ten of this morning's London papers." "Not a good word about me in nine of them." " But the tenth is better?" " Worse." "It doesn't mention me at all." " What have they got against you?" " They all say the same thing." "That I'm a windbag." " Good heavens!" " Yeah." "Extraordinary." "They say that my administration's all rhetoric." "That I talk and talk, but nothing ever gets done." "It simply isn't true." "There are reforms in the pipeline, a change of direction." "New schemes of development, a new philosophy of government." "Profound change in the social fabric and geopolitical climate of this country." "So what is actually happening?" " Nothing yet, obviously." " (BUZZER)" " That'll be Sir Humphrey." " Better send him in." "Send Sir Humphrey in." "The origin of this criticism is this rumour about a scandal in the City." " How did you guess?" " Prime Minister." "Humphrey, I've decided to respond to all this criticism about a scandal in the City." "The press is demanding action." " What are you proposing to do?" " I shall... appoint... someone." " When did you take this decision?" " Today when I read the papers." " But when did you first think of it?" " Today." "And for how long did you weigh the pros and cons of this decision?" "Not long." "I decided to be decisive." "I think you worry too much about what the papers say." "Only a civil servant could make that remark." "I have to worry about them, with the party conference coming up." " These rumours of a scandal won't go away." " Let's not worry until it's more than a rumour." " Here's the Cabinet agenda." " Not now." "This is more important." "With respect, it is not." "Remember, the press just pander to their readers' prejudices." "Don't tell me about the press." "I know who reads the papers." "The "Mirror" is read by people who think they run the country." "The "Guardian" is read by people who think they OUGHT to run it." "The "Times" is read by the people who DO run the country." "The "Daily Mail" is read by the wives of the people who run it." "The "Financial Times" is read by people who OWN the country." "The "Morning Star" is read by people who think the country should be run by another country and the "Daily Telegraph" is read by people who think it is." "What about the people who read "The Sun"?" ""Sun" readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits." "What do you make of this Phillips Berenson business, Desmond?" " Not too good." " Worse than the press are saying?" "More than another investment bank that made the wrong investments?" "'Fraid so." "Tip of the iceberg." " Tell me more." " They've broken the rules." "The insider trading regulations?" " No." " That's one relief." "Of course they've broken those, but they've broken the basic rule of the City." " I didn't know there were any." " Just the one." "If you're incompetent, you have to be honest." "If you're crooked, you have to be clever." "If you're honest and make a pig's breakfast of things, chaps help you out." " If you're crooked?" " With good profits, chaps don't ask questions." "They're not stupid." "Well, not that stupid." "The ideal is a firm which is honest and clever?" "Yes." "Let me know if you ever come across one, won't you?" " And Phillips Berenson?" " Well, they were..." " Breaking the law." " I wouldn't put it like that." "Were the directors siphoning off funds into their own companies?" " Might've paid it back later." " But didn't." " Well, they haven't yet." " Tax fiddles." "They placed their own interpretation on Treasury regulations." " Someone has to interpret them." " What about the Treasury's interpretation?" "It didn't seem appropriate." " Capital transfers to Liechtenstein companies?" " Bit of that." " Bribery?" " Undisclosed commissions to foreign officials." " Bribery." " Yes." " Your brandies." " Thank you." " May I have the bill?" " Certainly, sir." "So when's all this going to come out?" " That's just it, it mustn't." " How do you stop it?" " That's what I meant about breaking the rules." "If they were profitable, it wouldn't need to come out." " Now they're going bust, I'm worried." " Are you involved?" "Surely a huge bank like yours isn't affected?" "I wish you were right, but we've supported them in a big way." "We're in for 400 million." "It's all very well for you, but when you've got all that Arab mon..." "When you've got all that Arab money at 11%, you'd look pretty silly if you didn't lend it to somebody for 14." " You couldn't trust many people to pay 14." " Obviously." "Then we put in more to keep them afloat." " If you knew they were crooks..." " We didn't." " You could've made inquiries." " You don't make such inquiries in the City." "They seemed like decent chaps." "Decent chaps don't check up on decent chaps to see if they're behaving like decent chaps." "And ignorance is worth paying £400 million for?" "Ignorance is safety." "It's not a crime to be deceived." "And it's not our own money." " Your bill, sir." " Thank you." "So what's going to happen?" "Only one answer." "The Bank of England must bail out Phillips Berenson." " No publicity." "That way we get our money back." " At the taxpayers' expense." " Of course." " Can it be done?" " Depends on the new Bank of England Governor." " Hasn't been appointed yet." "That's what I wanted to talk about." "Who will it be?" "It isn't decided, but I understand from the PM that the frontrunner is Alexander Jameson." "You're joking?" "But that's impossible." " You mean he's too honest." " It's not just that he behaves honestly." "That doesn't matter." "Some of my best friends behave honestly." "None are smart enough to get away with it." "Jameson actually tries to stop dishonesty." "Fatal." "The world doesn't work like that." "Yes, he did that appalling report on waste and inefficiency in the Civil Service." " You've got to block him." " It's difficult." "It's a Treasury recommendation." " But the PM makes the appointment." " Yes." "It's not just Phillips Berenson." "Once Jameson starts his detective work, other things will come out." "Collapse of confidence, the pound will go through the floor." " Yes, I see." " You must make the PM see it." "Confidence mustn't be eroded." "The City earns the country six billion pounds a year." "You can't hazard that just because a few chaps do a few favours for friends." "Wouldn't be right." "Well..." "Oh, Dorothy, I'm not happy about my speech for the conference." "It contains no good news." " We couldn't think of any." " We'll have to make the bad news look good." "I'll talk about the Health Service." "Care for the elderly, mothers and children, growing up into a healthy nation." "Value for money?" "I can't say that." "Everybody knows that costs are completely out of control." "Right." "We are spending more than ever to make our health service the best in the world." "Good." "Now, defence." "I'd hoped to say something about defence cuts, but I haven't persuaded them to make any yet." "This government will not put the security of the nation in jeopardy by penny-pinching and... false economies?" "Not that we'd put security in jeopardy by having ONE service music school instead of three separate ones for the Army, Navy and RAF." "There can hardly be a specifically Royal Naval method of playing bassoon." "You won't put that in?" "No, sorry." " Anything good we can say about the economy?" " That's a problem." "No good news at all." " We'll find something." " No bad news will break during the conference?" "Don't ask me!" "I'm only the political adviser." "YOU see the secret Treasury papers." "I was thinking about this Phillips Berenson scandal." "What do you make of it?" " I'm suspicious." " Why?" "Because of the statements of the chairman of the Stock Exchange and chairman of Lloyds." " There were no statements." " That's why I'm suspicious." "If there was nothing in these rumours, they'd fall over themselves to say so." "So unfair." "Scandals in the City always look bad for the government." "It's nothing to do with me." "I know!" "I could announce the new Governor of the Bank of England." "Bernard, see if you can see Humphrey around." "Tell him I'd like to see him." "Where were we?" " The economy." "Unemployment coming down?" " No." "We shall make the attack on unemployment our top priority." "Pay?" " Rising too fast." " We cannot pay ourselves more than we earn." "The world does not owe us a living." "Interest rates?" " Too high." " They might come down?" " That'd be terrific." " I don't have that kind of luck." "If the whole picture's a total disaster, we can always wave the Union Jack." " The nation's great destiny..." " Unique role on the world stage." "Make every effort to build a prosperous world for our children and our children's children." "That's probably about how long it'll take." "The PM wonders if you could join him in five minutes." "Certainly, Bernard." "Bernard..." "Any news about the governorship of the Bank of England?" "The Prime Minister is planning to appoint Alexander Jameson." "Mr Clean." " That's one bit of good news." " Appalling news!" " Will you try and change the PM's mind?" " No." "I WILL change the PM's mind." " He seems very keen on him." " That'll be my starting point." "When you wish to suggest that somebody is not the ideal choice..." " You rubbish them?" " The first stage is to express absolute support." " Why?" " You don't want to say somebody's no good." "You must be seen to be their friend." "After all, it is necessary to get behind someone before you can stab them in the back." "But Alexander Jameson is good." "He's honest and efficient." "Excellent." "That's the second stage." "You list his praiseworthy qualities, especially those that make him unsuitable." "You praise them to the point where they become a vice." "The third stage." "Or, better still, you over-simplify his views by labelling them, as you just did." " You mean Mr Clean?" " Yes." "But I think we can do better than that." "Do sit down, Bernard." " Isn't he a churchgoer?" " Yes, I believe he was once a lay preacher." " A long time ago." " Splendid." "We can use that against him." " How?" " Charming man, hasn't an enemy in the world." "But is he really up to dealing with some of those rogues in the City?" " Jameson's pretty tough." " Then we'll say he's too tough." "The fourth stage." "You name all his bad points by defending and excusing them." "You know - "Oh, it probably doesn't matter that he was a conscientious objector." ""I'm sure... nobody's really questioned his patriotism."" "Or "I think the criticisms of him for bankrupting his last company" ""weren't entirely fair."" " That would certainly do it." " If not, you can always hint at a hidden scandal." "If he's not married, hint at homosexuality." " If he is married?" " Adultery." "With a lady's who's beyond reproach." "One of the royals, for instance." "Or a television newsreader." "What if he's obviously happily married?" "Say he's extremely puritanical or he drinks or he's having psychiatric treatment." "The possibilities are endless." "Listen and learn." "Yeah..." "Er, Sir Humphrey..." " Prime Minister." " We've been working on my conference speech." " I'm worried about this scandal in the City." " I don't think it's very serious." " It certainly is." " No, no, no, dear lady." "The bank over-lent to one big borrower, that's all." "Some of its directors have a shady past." "There's more to it." " Can you prove it?" " No, it's my antennae." "(LAUGHS CONDESCENDINGLY)" "I think, Prime Minister, that we are in the realm of female intuition." " We'll see." " We shall indeed." "Anyway, the good news is I've decided to appoint Jameson as Governor of the Bank of England." "Oh, the lay preacher!" "What a nice chap!" " Why do you call him that?" " He is." "Is he?" "That's good, isn't it?" "Oh... good is exactly the word." "He's a really good man." "Did a really good job at the White Fish Authority, too, didn't he?" " Where does he preach?" " In church, I imagine." "He's frightfully religious and terribly honest." "Honest with absolutely everybody." " Is he?" "That is good." " Of course it's good." "On the whole." "If he finds a scandal anywhere - even here in No.10 - he'll tell everybody, no doubt about that." " You mean he's indiscreet?" " Oh, dear, that's such a pejorative word." " I'd prefer to say he's obsessively honest." " He's the right man to bring the City into line?" "Oh, absolu..." "If you want a saint." "Of course, there are those who say he doesn't live in the real world." "He is extremely puritanical, even for a Bible basher." " Is he?" " Oh, yes." "A bit of an ayatollah, in fact." "Do you want to risk a Samson who might bring the whole edifice crashing down?" " Yeah, that's a worry, isn't it?" " He's no respecter of persons." "Although treading on toes is sometimes a necessity, he makes it a hobby." "He likes everything out in the open." "He talks very freely to the press." " In fact, he's not... awfully realistic." " Do you know anything else about him?" "Well, one wonders if anybody can be that moral." " I've heard..." " Yes?" "No." "No, nothing." "I'm sure it won't come out." "What?" "No, nothing." "I'm sure it's nothing." " Permanent Secretary of the Treasury, sir." " My dear chap." " Humphrey." " Sit down." "Thanks." "What's this rumour I hear that you're rubbishing Jameson?" " The lay preacher?" "I think he's a splendid chap." " No." "Don't play that game with me, Humphrey." " The Treasury wants him to be the new Governor." " Why?" "It's time the Governor of the Bank of England was intelligent and competent." "It'd be an innovation." " Don't you think it should be tried?" " But it's so dangerous." "Look, we keep enduring these City scandals." "The Chancellor is fed up with having to defend the indefensible." "Look, Frank, I understand." "You're looking after the Chancellor's interests." "That's your job." "I'm looking after the Prime Minister's interests and the nation's." "That's mine." "An honest financial sector can't damage the national interest." "In the long term, it's a plus." "Unfortunately, in the short term, an inquiry into the City would mean a loss of confidence." "The pound would plunge, shares would plunge and the government would plunge." "Ah, well, I'm afraid that's YP." "YP?" "Your problem." "Actually, Frank..." "I'm not so sure." "As you know, about 60% of Phillips Berenson's outstanding loans are with three foreigners of dubious repute." "The Bank of England is responsible for supervising Phillips Berenson." " That's been a farce." " Their investigators are a bunch of amateurs." "But who's responsible for supervising the Bank of England?" " The Treasury, isn't it?" " Well, yes..." "How can I tell the Chancellor that if we have a clean-up, he may be held responsible?" "He'd be defending the really indefensible then." "He'd need an awful lot of support from the PM." "Yes, but he'd get it, presumably." "The PM isn't keen on defending the indefensible." "He'd need a lot of convincing." "The Chancellor would have to tell him that he'd been let down by his Treasury officials, Frank." "But..." "But..." "But..." "YP?" "You're absolutely right, this is frightful." "What's the difference between irregularities and malpractices?" "Irregularity means it's a crime you can't prove." "Malpractice means it's a crime you can prove." " Anyone else seen this?" " Nobody." "How did we get this secret auditor's report on Phillips Berenson?" " A partner at the accountant's is a friend." " Just friendship?" "He's looking forward to reading the New Year's Honours List." "All right." "How do we do it?" "Which section?" "What about through the Welsh Office for services to LEEKS!" "It surprises me that Bartlett's Bank should be so deeply involved." "Doesn't it surprise you?" " Not with Sir Desmond Glazebrook as chairman." " How on earth did he become chairman?" "He never has any original ideas, never takes a stand on principle." "As he doesn't understand anything, he agrees with everybody and so people think he's sound." "Is that why I've been invited to consult him about this governorship?" "He's due in a few minutes." "You may find he doesn't want you to appoint Jameson to do a clean-up." " No option after this." " Not if it gets out." " Some of it's bound to." " If it gets to court." "A Bank of England rescue will keep the worst of it quiet." " (BUZZER)" " Who will Glazebrook want me to appoint?" " Desmond Glazebrook." " Absolutely right, Bernard." " What about?" " You're not serious?" "Who has the most interest in a cover-up?" "Sir Desmond Glazebrook." " Ask him in." " Sir Humphrey's with him." "Send them in." " They'll know about this?" " Yes, but they mustn't know that you know." "Or you'll have to make the partner an earl." " Ah, Sir Desmond, how good of you to come." " Prime Minister." "Do sit down, won't you?" "Now, as you know..." "I've got to appoint a new Governor for the Bank of England." " I'd welcome your views." " Well, I certainly think you should appoint one." "I think the Prime Minister's more or less decided that." " The question is whom." " Ah, that's tricky." "Needs to be someone the chaps trust." "I feel we need someone who's intelligent, energetic, upright." " Er, well, hold on." " You don't agree?" "Well, of course, it's a jolly interesting idea, Prime Minister." "Not sure the chaps would trust that sort of chap." "The PM is worried about financial scandals." "Are you worried about financial scandals?" "Of course, we don't want any of those, but..." "if you go for the sort of chap the chaps trust, you can trust him to be the sort of chap to see the chaps don't get involved in any scandals." " He'd hush them up." " No, any suspicion, and you have the chap straight out for lunch." " Ask him if there's anything in it." " What if he says no?" "You have to trust a chap's word." "That's how the City works." " What do you know about Phillips Berenson?" " What do YOU know about Phillips Berenson?" "Well, er, only what I read in the papers." "Oh, good." "Yes, well, they lent a bit of money to the wrong chaps." "Could happen to anyone." " You haven't heard rumours?" " There are always rumours." "Of bribery?" "Embezzlement?" "Misappropriation?" "Insider dealing?" " Dear lady, those are strong words." " So they're not true?" "Well, er, there are different... er..." "different ways of looking at things." "What's a different way of looking at embezzlement?" "If a chap embezzles, you have to do something." " Have a serious word with him?" " Absolutely." "Usually it's just a chap who's advanced himself a short-term, unauthorised, unsecured temporary loan from the company's account and invested it unluckily." "Horse falls at the first fence, that sort of thing." " So who do you think I should appoint?" " Oh, well, as I say, that's not easy." "Not all that many chaps the chaps trust." "It's not for me to say, but if one were to be asked..." "As long as one were thought to be..." "Of course, one is committed, but..." "And if one were to be pressed, I daresay one could make oneself available." "As a duty one owes to..." " I was thinking of Alexander Jameson." " Ah." " What's your view?" " Well, he's a good accountant." " Honest?" " Yes." " Energetic?" " I'm afraid so." " But would you recommend him?" " No." " Why not?" " Well, the City's a funny place, Prime Minister." "If you spill the beans, you open up a whole can of worms." "How can you let sleeping dogs lie if you let the cat out of the bag?" "Bring in a new broom and, if you're not careful, you've thrown the baby out with the bath water." "If you change horses in the middle of the stream, then you're up the creek without a paddle." "And then the balloon goes up!" "Obviously." "They hit you for six." "An own goal, in fact." "I'm on in half an hour and this speech is devoid of content." " Oh, I don't know." " What do you think, Bernard?" " I don't know." " Well, I do know." " It'll get a standing ovation." " Oh." "How long?" " Three and a half minutes." " (PHONE)" " Have people got stopwatches (?" ")" " Issued them today." "Sir Humphrey's downstairs with the Burandan High Commissioner." "Could they have a word?" " Burandan High...?" " He says it's urgent." "Oh, all right." "He'd better be quick." " Can't we talk about getting more investment?" " Interest rates are too high." "Can't you lean on the Chancellor to lean on the Bank of England to lean on the banks?" "What, in half an hour?" "Not in a month of Sundays!" "The Bank would never allow it." "All I can do is appoint Mr Clean as Governor." ""Hacker will take no more nonsense from the City."" " Prime Minister." " High Commissioner, an unexpected pleasure!" "Do come in." "Sit down, please." "Now, what can I do for you?" "Well, the High Commissioner's concerned about the rumour that you intend to appoint Jameson to the Bank of England, which will inevitably create an investigation into Phillips Berenson." "Forgive me, but how does this concern Buranda?" "Phillips Berenson is a shady bank that lent 60% of its money to three foreigners of doubtful repute." "Two of those three foreigners were the President of Buranda and the Chairman of the Burandan Enterprise Corporation." "If you attack these loans, the President of Buranda will have no option but to interpret this move as a hostile and racist act." " Racist?" " Of course." "I've no intention of attacking the President per se." "L-I would merely..." " Say that he was someone of dubious repute." " Yes." "No, no, no." "I..." "I..." "May I further point out that a racist attack on our President would undoubtedly create solidarity and support from all the other African states." "Commonwealth countries." "We would move to have Britain expelled from the Commonwealth." "The President would be obliged to cancel Her Majesty's state visit next month and Buranda would sell all the British government stock that it has bought." " Would that create a run on the pound?" " Yes." " Anything else?" " Isn't that enough?" "High Commissioner, will you excuse me if I have a few words with Sir Humphrey?" "Thank you so much." "So good of you to come and... such a long way." " I'll give your words earnest consideration." " Please do." " How dare you put me in this position!" " It is not I, but Buranda." "The Commonwealth club is another reason you should exercise caution." "The President is a crook!" "He shouldn't be a member of the club." "He should be blackballed." " He is already." " Yes, thank you, Bernard." "I don't understand it, Humphrey." "What's your game?" "Why should I allow another cover-up?" "What's in it for you?" "Nothing, Prime Minister!" "I assure you, I have no private ulterior motive." "I'm trying to protect you from yourself." "I'm entirely on your side." " How can we believe that?" " Because this time it's true!" "I mean, this time I am particularly on your side." "I've got to say something good in my speech today." "If I can't announce the appointment of Mr Clean as Governor..." " Why not announce a cut in interest rates?" " Oh, don't be silly, I..." "What?" "Announce a cut in interest rates" "The Bank couldn't allow a political cut - particularly with Jameson." "It would with Desmond Glazebrook." "Now, if you appoint him Governor, he'll cut Bartlett's interest rates in the morning - you can announce both in your speech." " How do you know?" " He's just told me." "He's here." "Desmond Glazebrook as Governor?" "But he's such a fool." "He only talks in clichés." "He can talk in clichés till the cows come home." "Won't a cut in interest rates mean that prices will go up?" "I don't mind that, as long as I get a standing inflation... ovation." " You don't want an honest man in the City?" " Glazebrook isn't exactly... dishonest, is he?" "No, he's too stupid to know whether he's honest or not." "We can't operate without the City's goodwill, can we?" " No, Prime Minister." " No point in embarrassing them needlessly." "No, Prime Minister." "Dorothy, fix my speech to include a cut in interest rates." "Humphrey, ask Sir Desmond to come up here." "Yes, Prime Minister."

"Life is like a hurricane" "Here in Duckburg" "Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes" "It's a duck-blur" "Might solve a mystery" "Or rewrite history" "DuckTales, ooh-ooh" "Every day they're out there making DuckTales" "Ooh-ooh" "Tales of derring-do, bad and good-luck tales" "D- d-d-danger!" "Watch behind you" "There's a stranger out to find you" "What to do?" "Just grab onto some DuckTales" "Ooh-ooh" "Every day they're out there making DuckTales" "Ooh-ooh" "Tales of derring-do, bad and good-luck tales" "Ooh-ooh" "Not ponytails orcottontails, no, DuckTales" "Ooh-ooh" "Mm, I love triple-mint ripple!" "Especially free triple-mint ripple." "Lucky for us, he had to buy three to get one free." "Mm, a deal this sweet should be against the law." "Scrooge McDuck, you're under arrest!" "Good joke, Officer!" "I guess it is against the law." "It's no joke, McDuck." "Now, see here, Officer." "There must be some mistake!" " Yeah!" "It's a mix-up." " He didn't do anything." "I'm the one you want, Officer!" "I meant to return that library book, and I'll take it back as soon as I find it!" "You gotta believe me!" "It's a lot more serious than a library book, my boy." "Your Uncle Scrooge is wanted for grand theft!" "Grand theft?" "No way!" "Uncle Scrooge is the richest duck in the world!" "What would he need to steal?" "Here it is!" "Pablo Piquacko's Duck À L'Orange." "Mr. McDuck would steal that painting." "Actually, I don't see why anyone would." "It's all a mistake, Mrs. Beakley." "But what was it doing in Uncle Scrooge's cellar?" "Extra!" "Extra!" "Scrooge McDuck on trial!" "The Duck À L'Orange is Pablo Piquacko's most famous painting." "And Scrooge McDuck stole it from my art gallery!" "How do you know he stole it?" "This videotape has foolproof proof." "Why is Uncle Scrooge wearing those funny bracelets, Grammy?" "Er, they're the proper accessories when you stand trial for grand theft, dear." "Order!" "Order!" "I'll have a burger and fries." "Launchpad!" "This is serious." "Aw, come on, Mrs. B, Mr. McDee is as innocent as I am!" "Mr. Prosecutor call your first witness." "I call Mr. Launchpad McQuack." "Isn't it true, Mr. McQuack, that you flew, or should I say," ""crashed" Scrooge McDuck in the neighborhood of Glomgold Galleries on the night of the robbery?" "Aw, I crash Mr. McDee all kinds of places." " I mean, so what?" "I mean..." " Just answer the question." " You are under oath." " Well, I... that is..." "Yes, I crashed him there!" "So sue me!" "And what was the purpose of Mr. McDuck's visit?" "He was picking up a painting." "He said it was a big secret, and I couldn't tell anyone." "Oops!" "No further questions, Your Honor." "Mrs. Beakley, when was the last time you saw Mr. McDuck, on the evening in question?" "Well, he was sneaking in the back window with that painting in his arms, but I'm sure he had a good, honest reason." "But it wasn't that painting!" "I hired an artist to paint a family portrait." "I just wanted it to be a surprise." "Out of order!" "That's why the painter had it wrapped when I picked it up!" "Out of order!" "Out of order!" "Well, it's true, Pierre La Oink's studio is in the neighborhood of Glomgold Galleries." "That is enough, Mr. McDuck!" "We have already established this Pierre La Oink of yours does not exist." "Any more outbursts, and I'll have you removed from this court!" "Now we're gettin' somewhere." "Some may doubt that a man of Scrooge McDuck's wealth would stoop to burglary." "Well, I have here the proof that he did." "Lights, please." "This is the main display room of the Glomgold Art Gallery." "A hidden security camera took these pictures on the night of the burglary." "It clearly shows Scrooge McDuck stealing the painting in question." "Can there be any doubt, members of the jury?" "You have no choice but to find Scrooge McDuck guilty!" "Love your striped suit, Scroogie!" "It makes you look so guilty!" "Oh, my." " Don't worry, Uncle Scrooge." " We'll get you out of jail." "Even if it takes a hundred years!" "I believe you." "I just hope you believe me." "Well, we don't have enough money to hire a private eye." "Look, we know Uncle Scrooge didn't steal that painting, right?" "Yeah!" "He only likes little paintings of presidents." " The ones on dollar bills." " Yeah!" "We know he's innocent, so it's up to us to prove it!" "Well, this is it." "Glomgold's Art Gallery." "The scene of the crime." "There's gotta be a back door." "Come on!" "Let's see if there's anything suspicious goin' on." "Never have I been paid so much for one of my paintings." "Especially a painting no one will ever see." "Be sure to get rid of it, Monsieur La Oink." "As soon as you let go of the check, Monsieur Glomgold!" "Sorry, force of habit." "Don't worry, Monsieur Glomgold," "I will drop the painting from the Duckburg Bay bridge, tonight!" "Good!" "It's the only evidence that can save Scrooge McDuck." "While he rots in the big house," "I'll be the one making big deals and big money!" "Better leave by the back door." "Quick!" "We gotta hide!" "Did-did you hear something, Monsieur Glomgold?" "Bah, you're just jumpy!" "Everything is going according to plan." "Just be sure nobody sees you dumping the evidence!" "And don't cash that check until next week!" "Come on, let's follow that guy!" "Rats!" "Come on, we'll head him off at the bridge." "Without that painting, poor Uncle Scrooge will be sent to his room for 15 years!" "The bad news is, his room is in Aquatraz, the toughest prison there ever was!" "No one has ever escaped from Aquatraz, McDuck, so keep that in mind!" "You won't need that, unless you make the prison bowling team." "Thanks for the words of comfort, Warden." "The richest duck in the world, stuck in prison for 15 years!" "What could be worse?" "I'm Mad Dog McGurk, and I hate rich ducks!" "You wanna know why I hate rich ducks?" "It's because they're rich, and I'm not!" "Can I help it if crime doesn't pay, ya big galoot!" "Say, you gotta a lot of spunk, for a rich little runt who's about to get his beak bashed!" "Let go, ya overgrown..." "Enough horseplay, boys!" "It's lights out!" "Aw, I was just introducing' myself to my new roomie, here." "It'll wait 'til morning, McGurk." "Now, lights out!" "Allow me to show you to your bed, roomie." "Yeow!" "Oof!" " Get plenty of rest, moneybags." " Ugh!" "I may not be this friendly in the morning." "It's going to be a long night." "15 years of long nights!" "Unless I miss my guess, this is the painting Uncle Scrooge thought he was buying." "Aw, our family portrait!" "Aw!" "Oh, no!" "The water is washing away the paint!" "And Uncle Scrooge's chances are going down the drain!" "I'm sorry, boys, but your evidence isn't nearly good enough." "But it's true!" "This was the family portrait Uncle Scrooge thought he was picking up!" "That's Uncle Scrooge, there's us and Webby, and that big purple blob is Mrs. Beakley." "You need real proof, boys - solid evidence, or there's not a thing I can do." "Excuse me, Your Judgeship." "Is this the tape of the robbery?" " Yes, it is." " Mind if we borrow it?" "Maybe there's something we missed." "Very well, but don't get your hopes up." "There's just too much proof that your uncle did, indeed, steal that painting." "Well, roomie, looks like you made the prison bowling team." "Yeow!" "Hey, roomie, how about joining us for a friendly arm-wrestling match?" "All of us against all of you!" "I'd love to!" "Next?" "Next?" "Who's next?" "Next?" "How'd you get so strong, McDuck?" "By lifting' money bags!" "I lifted some money bags once." "Right before they threw me in here!" "I'm so hungry, I could eat an over-priced meal!" "We wouldn't want you to lose your girlish figure!" "What meal would be complete without a little after-dinner drink?" " What's going on here?" " Uh, not much, Officer." "The prisoners were just teaching me..." "uh, a new dance." " Yeah!" " The, uh, Jailhouse Rock!" "He coulda ratted on us!" "Maybe that old McDuck ain't so bad, after all." "He ain't a bad dancer, either." "All right, men, clean up your cells!" "It's visiting day!" "Great!" "Can I visit Brazil?" " Yoo-hoo, Mr. McDuck!" " Hey, Uncle Scrooge!" "Boys!" "Webby!" "Mrs. Beakley!" "Well, bless me bagpipes!" "Hi, Uncle Scrooge!" "We sure missed you!" " Did you miss us?" " Even more than my money bin, Webby!" "And that's quite a lot!" "Don't worry, Uncle Scrooge." "I've been diving in it everyday, so it won't get lonely." "My goodness, what a gloomy place this is!" "Boys, bring in the care packages." "We'll have this place looking cozy in no time." "I hope you'll enjoy these homemade fudge bars, Mr. Mad Dog." "Aw, there's too many bars around here already." "But gee, thanks." " My, such a nice man!" " Aw!" "The water washed the paint away, Uncle Scrooge, and all we had left was a painting that looked like rainbow pudding!" "Look, boys, thanks for your help, but I don't want you takin' any risks for me." "Sorry, folks, visiting hours are over." "I can't tell you how good it's been seeing you all again!" " We're not giving up, Uncle Scrooge!" " We'll get you out of this place." "And back home with us, where you belong!" "Goodbye, Mr. McDuck." "And it was so nice meeting you, Mr. Mad Dog." "Aw!" "Same here." "You're a lucky man, McDuck." "As lucky as a man can be when he's in prison for a crime he did not commit." "What's that your lookin' at, McGurk?" "It's me mudder." "She's so poor, she can't come visit me anymore." " Maybe I can help you out." " Aw, what can do?" "You're just an old jailbird like me." "Never underestimate the power of an old jailbird - especially one named Scrooge McDuck." "Clean up your cells, men!" "It's visiting day!" "Great!" "Can I visit Fort Knox?" "That's a good one!" "Uh, do ya think Mrs. Beakley will bring some more of her fudge bars?" "Not today, Mad Dog." "I've arranged another kind of surprise." "Ah!" "And here she is now." "Me mudder!" "Mudder!" "Mudder, I can't believe it!" "Oh, Mad Doggy!" "I haven't seen you since the arm-wrestling championship!" "Yeah!" "I was so proud of you!" "No one's ever done anything like this for me before." "In fact, no one's ever done anything for me, before!" "I'll never forget this, McDuck." "Never!" "Ugh!" "Mad Dog!" "What are you doing?" "You helped me out, now I'm gonna help you out!" "I'm breakin' outta here tomorrow night, and I'm takin' you with me, pal!" "But I told you, Mad Dog, I don't want to escape!" "Ah, you're just scared, pal." "Don't worry, they won't know we're missing." "Prisoners escaping!" "Prisoners escaping!" " Bless me bagpipes!" " Relax, pal." "The guard's a lousy shot." "It's the guard's dogs we have to worry about!" "Uh-oh!" "We'll have to jump into that mud!" "Yeow!" "Hey!" "Where'd you go, pal?" " There they are, Warden!" " Give up, you two!" "You haven't got a chance!" "Scrooge McDuck never gives up!" "All right, no more Mr. Nice Cop!" "Ready, men?" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Ugh!" "Don't worry, pal!" "Some of my friends got a boat waiting' for us." "We can spend the rest of our lives together, hiding' from the law, livin' on the run, never knowin' which day will be our last!" "Lt'll be exciting!" "After them, men!" "Our biggest problem is, the whole world saw Uncle Scrooge steal that painting." "That is a problem, isn't it?" " Let's look at the tape again." " We've seen it a hundred times!" "I don't know, aw, maybe he was just walking in his sleep." "Wait a minute!" "Keep it running!" "There, in the glass of the display case!" "It's Uncle Scrooge's reflection." "Hey!" "Where'd he get that beard?" "And that weird pancake hat?" "That isn't Uncle Scrooge!" "It's Flintheart Glomgold disguised as Uncle Scrooge!" "It's the evidence we need!" "Good news, Mrs. Beakley!" "We interrupt this broadcast with an urgent news bulletin." "Scrooge McDuck has escaped from prison!" "Armed guards and attack dogs are in pursuit." "We're too late!" "The boat ain't here!" "I shoulda known better than to trust my lousy friends." "There's nothin' to do now, but swim for it, pal." "Hold your nose!" "No!" "You OK, pal?" "Ugh!" "Mad Dog!" "I've got to get him to shore!" "Ugh!" "Oh!" "Where am I?" " On a deserted beach." " Great!" "I love the beach!" "We have to turn ourselves in, Mad Dog." "It's the only way." "Never!" "I ain't goin' back there - not for something I didn't do!" " You are innocent?" " Yeah!" "Some rich guy asked me to pick up some jewels at a jewelry store for him." " He didn't tell me they weren't his!" " Who would do such a thing?" "He had a big beard, a plaid hat, and talked even funnier than you." "Glomgold!" "Trust me, if we get out of this, I'll see that you're cleared." "Hold it right there!" "It's all over, McDuck!" "This is it, pal!" "It's all right, Mr. McDuck." "You're a free man!" "Uncle Scrooge!" "We cleared ya, Uncle Scrooge!" "You're free!" " Free!" " Free!" "Ah, free!" "It's always been my favorite word!" "Now that the governor has granted you and Mad Dog unconditional pardons, what's the first thing you're gonna do?" "Go for a swim in my money with all my family and friends." "And of course, my new pal, Mad Dog McGurk!" " Oh, I'm so proud of you, Mad Doggy!" " Aw, Mudder!" "And I hear that since Flintheart's only crime was stealing his own painting, the governor has chosen a very unusual form of punishment." "Yes, that's true." "As punishment, Flintheart must keep a certain painting over his fireplace for the next 15 years." "The Duck À L'Orange?" "No, a portrait of the richest duck in the world." "I'll get even with you, Scrooge McDuck!" "I'll get even!" "I owes you my life, pal!" "If you ever need a bodyguard, let me know." "Ugh, I think I could use one right now!"

"Oh!" "Oh, man!" "Fuck." "Fuck." " What's next?" " One to the head." "I keep it quick." "Not yet, motherfucker." "You shoot live rounds like paint, boy, you'll be the shit, you hear?" "Yo, but these really do look like Glocks." "Yeah, they make them look that way." "Yo, why you shoot low?" "All right, if you're close, aim for the head." "If not, think vest." "That's the way you said it." "A'ight." "Boy's learning." " You going inside this one too?" " I'm gonna do the whole block." "It's bad enough you popped the top off one house and give us a body." "What the fuck do you think you're doing now?" " An experiment." " An experiment?" "Oh, fuck me." "I'm dealing with Madam Curie here." "This nail here comes from a nail gun, and it comes from the house with a dead man inside." "Every other house has screws that H.C.D. uses." "We find these in the plywood anywhere in this city, and there's a body inside." "Gosh, that's good work." "No, I'm very impressed." "Do you see a tool belt on me?" "Do I look like one of those fucking jerkoffs in aisle five of the Home fuckin' Depot?" "There's three weeks left in the year, and our unit clearance rate is under 50%." "We do not go looking for bodies, especially moldering fucking John Does." "We do not put red up on the board voluntarily." "Jay, the bodies are in the houses," "Marlo Stanfield's bodies." "Then they belong to him." "Now I realize you're no longer in my squad," "Mr. Major Crimes, but you're still part of C.I.D., right?" "And look, I'm still a sergeant, right?" "And I'm giving you an order on this, Lester." "Until I feel chain-of-command down on this and until you hear otherwise, you will not" "I repeat not-- pull down any more... fucking wood!" "Let's go, man." "I mean, you know, I expect a shortfall when I look at the school budget." "It's a natural." "But how in Christ's name do you lose $54 million?" "One million at a time." "Exactly." "It didn't happen this morning." "This was on Royce's watch." "You didn't get a whiff of this during council review?" "You can't blame the council or Royce for the school budget." "The fiscal responsibility is with the school board itself." "But the council does have oversight." "Don't even pretend to put this shit on me." "Only the city share shows up on our budget review." "We never see the state money." "You'd better tell your pretty new chief of staff that whatever happens up on North Avenue is on the school system." "That's a simplistic view, I think." "How would you complicate it?" "As president of the school board, I'll argue this is a bookkeeping issue." "We've simply been rolling the system's debt over since '99." "You rolled it and rolled it until it ran out of cash." "That's not bookkeeping, that's stupidity." "So what are we talking about here, waste?" "Fraud?" "Embezzlement?" "I would say that although the system has some poor accounting practices, in the end we're going to find that most of the money was properly spent on programming." "Okay okay okay." "We get it." "No one's responsible, not the school board, not anybody on North Avenue, not Clarence Royce, not the city council, no one at this table." "Fine." "So what's our next move?" "Bump the property tax rate?" "Scale back our budget." "No pay hikes, hiring freezes, reduced services, tell everyone-- schools, police, fire, public works-- they have to hold the line for a year or two." "How?" "I just ran a clean-up-the-streets campaign." "I just got done promising the world to every cop in the city." "Annapolis." "You go beg his Republican ass." "The Cheese stands alone." "This the drop?" "I hope not, 'cause they ain't called yet." "Make me feel bad toward old Prop Joe." "Yeah, go around where we can see y'all." "Vamonos, 'Naldo." "Nice hookup." "Private." "Damn, y'all some Semper Fi motherfuckers, ain't ya?" "Where Cheese go to enlist?" "That's 25 back to Joe from what we was short before, and another 1 50 to up our order to six." "Whoa, we had you down for four." "I don't know if we got extras coming off the boat." "Short someone else then." "I'll see what Joe says." "Yeah." "When we set with the re-up, we'll hit you on that." "The shit will be where you told us half hour later." " Yo, we ain't using these no more." " Us neither." "What we do is ring you from a 958 exchange," "East Side, don't need to answer." "Just toss it, go to the meet." "See you when I see you." "Money on the table, "halron" to follow." "Stay here on Marlo?" "Nah, we gonna stay with Cheese." "Detective, would you get the door for me?" "Sometimes life just gives you a moment, huh?" "He was gonna do me, and instead he gets done?" "I'm dipped in shit here." "I'm the luckiest motherfucker you know." "Gentlemen, the target is still Mr. Stanfield, and from the look of things, we're no closer to him than when I left here two months ago." "Now they might not let me go after murders, but they cannot stop me from chasing the drugs." "Leander, I want you surveilling his people." "See if they're still up on cell phones." "How are you with the paper trail?" " Okay." " I want you down at the city assessment office pulling paper on all the purchases on the West Side over $100,000." "Then get down to M.V.A. and check" "luxury cars in his name, all right?" "Now this boy has been in the game for a while now." "He might try to launder money." "Herc, I want you on the paperwork, re-requisitioning the wiretap equipment that Marimow shipped on down to l.S.D." "We're gonna need all of that to get backup, okay?" "If anyone needs me," "I'm down at Missing Persons, all right?" "Let's go." " Lester?" " Yes?" " All this is cool..." " Mm-hmm." "...but you think we can do it so that the direction comes from me?" "I mean, I am the sergeant here." "Donut, you think this look right?" "Why you knock 'em down?" "So the police won't scope me so easy." "But now all they gotta do is be like, "Yeah, go over there and just grab that little nigger with the braids."" "Damn, boy, you later than a motherfucker." "Been sitting out here watching money walk away." "You about to have the day off." "Package was stolen, Na'." "What?" "Out the back of your basement?" "They kicked my motherfucking door in." "That's how they do." "Well, look, how the police know where you even be keeping your stash at?" "Some snitch-ass bitch, that's how they know." "I'ma find his ass too." "All right, man, I'm out." "I never did understand why you stopped eating the pig." "I ain't been in a Polack Johnny's since 1974, and if you knew what was good for you" "Look, I know what's good." "I remember when you did too." "I never saw you going all Muslim on me." "Ain't that, but I do believe that other faiths have got the pig figured better than us A.M.E.s." "See that?" "If you checking out," "I might feel the need to say a few words." "Nah, I ain't got nothing to do with that." "I love my PJs, but they do repeat on me." "As memory serves, you got to go with the original sauce, not the kraut and chili like you do." "My pain ain't about no sauerkraut." ""The Puzzle Palace" is ready to clip any program that ain't tied to the statewide tests." "The thing is, we're just starting to make a little headway" " in what we're doing." " You take it upstairs?" "Yeah, me and the professor went all the way" " to go see the school superintendent." " And?" "You read the papers?" "They're a little busy ducking that budget mess." "$50 million in the hole, and they're scared to take any more problems to the new mayor." " Is your thing a problem?" " Depends on how you look at it." "A cover-your-ass type of person might say we're just tracking any students that can't hack in the regular classes, giving them work that don't show up on no statewide tests." "City Hall says it's okay, they keep our program." "If not, we on the street." "Odell Watkins." "I was hoping you'd say that name." "Yeah, he got Carcetti's ear." "If we sell him, maybe we sell the Hall." "Stalk that nigger, man, that stole your shit." " Yeah." " Soon as he nod out, bust him in the head with a brick or some shit." "Nah nah." "That ain't me." "You can always give him a hotshot then." "Y'all recall Junior Bunk?" "Cutting his shit with, uh, what you call it?" "Stole it from the funeral home." "Oh, you thinking formaldehyde." "That's the shit." "Nigger's got a taste of that shit, university started a "Junior Bunk" ward." "My cousin laid his ignorant ass up there two, three times." "Ain't no guarantee in that, though." "Use some rat poison then." "No, man, that stuff don't cook up right." "What you need to use is that sodium cyanide." "That shit looks and cooks" " just like the real thing." " Where I find that?" "Try, uh, Minter's over there by the tracks, or one of those metal shops where they do plating." " How much I need?" " It ain't gonna take much." "A vial of that shit'd kill every horse in this stable." " That's all there is to it?" " It ain't no thing to kill a nigger who's already about the business of killing himself." "And the police, they ain't gonna pay no never mind." "You the one's got to live with it is all." "More young males than I'd have thought." "I don't suppose they all went off in search of adventure." "You get a chance to do any street work on these files?" "Shit, no, Lester." "They cut Missing Persons to one detective five years ago." "I barely keep up with the paperwork." "Feel free." "Just make copies and return the originals for the files." "For the files... right." "Damn, son." "Kenard said the police took it?" "He said they kicked his door in." "And they ain't lock no one up?" "Yo, you see that door?" "Were the hinges broke?" "I mean, if he said they put the boot to it... them hinges gotta be hanging free." "I sweated him, yo." "He wasn't trying to scheme me." "That little motherfucker took that shit for himself." "Bet it." "And now you gotta step to him, put something real behind them words." "Where your Spanish boy at?" "He's down on point with Cheese while I round up soldiers." "You got soldiers right here." "Your 2255 must have pleased some judge, huh?" "Enough to get me home, didn't it?" "I'm just saying, Butch, I know they soldiers, but I'm thinking about being a little more subtle on this one." "You feel me?" "So they don't see me coming." "It ain't like you to work with strangers." "I'm celebrating diversity." "I'm thinking now the time to start doing that." "Oh-hoo!" "What up, shorty?" "What's up, baby?" " Mm, mm." " Mm." " Damn, girl, you looking good." " I'm maintaining." " Shit, I know that's right." " You doing all right?" "Yeah." "Long time, long time." "I got your word." "Some real money to be made on this one, huh?" "You remember how to do this?" "I reckon it'll come back to me." "See that's what I'm talking about, Butch- subtle." " Hmm." "Glasses first, so they don't spot." "Yes, ma'am." " Hello." " Ho, Mr. Prezbo." " Come in, please." " Oh, that's okay." "I just wanted to stop by on my way home and drop off Randy's work for next week." "Hopefully this thing will be over soon." "Maybe so, but we're looking at the possibility of moving him to Booker T. Washington next semester." "I hope that isn't necessary." "I hope so too." "Anyway, thanks for bringing this." "I'll try to keep him up to speed." " Hang in there, kiddo." " Thanks." "Long conference call." "About an hour so far by my watch." "Got me out here riding the wood." "Unfortunately the governor's phone call has gone longer than anticipated." "Can I get you anything?" "Coffee?" "Look, I have other appointments." "It shouldn't be much longer." "Check out Fisher's column in Metro." "He says, the governor thinks, quote," ""This latest fiscal emergency calls into question the Baltimore school system's ability to manage itself as well as the local oversight of the system,"" "unquote." "Motherfucker." "He's playing to the D.C. suburbs." "He sees you coming for him two years from now." "He ain't no fool." "There's all your electronic requisitions right there." "Mm-hmm." "What one's that, a cop?" "Nah, security guard." "I don't think he's one of Marlo's, though." "Lieutenant." "Will someone explain to me what the fuck the brass is doing?" "First I get bounced to telephone reporting, then I get a call this morning..." "How's that beach house coming, huh?" "It's almost done." "I just need a load of lumber" "That's great, just great." "Welcome." "Welcome back." "Who the fuck is that?" "That, Sergeant Hauk... is one of the most effective supervisors in our police department." "Sorry." "It's just taking a little longer than we expected." "It shouldn't be much longer, though." "I understand what you're saying." "Some of those kids are ready for high school, but not Duquan." " I've..." "...adopted him?" "I've noticed Duquan this semester." "He's more nourished, wears fresher clothes." "Sometimes he even smells like soap." "You and your wife, you don't have children, do you?" " Not yet, no." " Well, have some." "For better or for worse, they're yours for life." "The kids in this school aren't yours." "You do your piece with them, and you let them go." "Because there'll be plenty more coming up behind Duquan, and they're gonna need your help too." "You've got your third period in five minutes, right?" "Settle down." "Settle down." "We need to concentrate on these tests." " Aw, fuck this, man." " Talking about, "lf Jane's father gives Jane one week's worth of allowance..."" "Shit, I ain't got no allowance where I stay at." "No father, neither." "How many sides a sexagon got?" "Why I care about that?" "You need to take the test so you can move on to the next level." "I ain't moving nowhere but out this motherfucker." " Hell, yeah." " All right." "Let's settle down." "Let's start with question number one." "Settle down!" "All right." "All right, listen up." "Here's the problem:" "Two couples go into a restaurant." " They get the check" " Yo, when they say "couples,"" " do it mean they married?" " Why they got to be married?" "Mr. Prezbo, why you even get married?" "Well, to build a life together, for one-- you know, family." " Also to have intimacy." " What do that mean?" " Mean, like, getting some." " No no." "It's not just that." "Intimacy can be, um, a quiet conversation." "Or it can be fun, you know?" "Like when you tickle your partner." "Yo, tickle my nuts." "All right, all right, no more of that." "Come on, let's get to the test material." "The statewide exam is next week." "And then we'll get back to the regular lessons." "Can we talk about intimacy?" "If you like, and if I don't get too embarrassed." "All right, uh... so, the grand total on the check is $67.40, but if they want to leave a tip" "Look at your sample test, please." "I got to say, Ms. Duquette, I feel like y'all schemed us." "This class is the same as the ones down the hall." "Yeah, it's 'cause the test's coming up." "Okay, class, let's take a look at the sample math test." "In sample "A", we start with..." "Kid's right." "This is bullshit." "The test material doesn't exactly speak to their world." "Yeah, don't speak too loud to mine, either." "An estimate, Detective." "We start opening those houses, we might turn over a couple of dozen bodies, but that's just me guessing." "All of them homicides?" "The boy took over half the West Side." "We never saw the violence." "This right here is the reason why." "You're asking us to call out half of public works and pull the plywood off thousands of vacant houses all so we can raise the city's murder rate by 10%?" "What else are we doing on Stanfield?" "I'm trying to get backup on his people's cell phones as fast as I can." "And I started to look for his money." "But if I'm right about this, they have to be worked." "Is there any evidence at all that links all these missing-persons reports to the Stanfield organization?" "I'm just starting at that." "The one body that we pulled out of the Fulton Avenue house is Lex." "His case is a direct tie." "And there are two other names on those missing persons reports that show up in our wiretaps from earlier this year." "So, yes, there are links, Counselor." "By any chance did Landsman run this up the chain to you guys?" "No." "Your call." "My office won't care until they see case files." "I'll run it upstairs and we'll see what comes." " Okay, I get it." " He's still tied up, but it really should only be a little while longer." "Can you tell the governor I have to go back to Baltimore?" "I have a little bit of business today." "I'm the mayor of a major American city, for chrissakes." "How much shit do I have to eat from this guy?" "Wouldn't you play the politics if you were him?" "It's not like the state had no role in this thing." "You know, the state money for those schools had no oversight either." "But I'm not telling "The Washington" fucking "Post,"" "talking about how he might be forced to bail me out because-- what was the quote again?" "Because "Those are my children in Baltimore too."" "He's gonna bleed me for that money." "Mayor Carcetti?" "The governor's office says he's ready to see you now." "$54 million's a big number." "We won't go until we get some, we won't go until we get some" "Did I do something wrong?" "I ain't acted up or nothing." "You're ready for this." "You can do the work." "I know you can." "And if you need to come back here and use the showers or give me laundry, use the computer, you can do that any time." "Anyway, let me show you." "This here's the way to the hard drive." "This isn't necessary, Duquan." "Just in case I'm busy, Mr. P." "So you know how to work it." "Hey, boy." "What's up?" "Big day for you." "See here?" "I got the inventory divided between us." "You gonna go up one way towards North Avenue... and I'm gonna stay down by the highway." "You gonna let me handle the money alone?" " You ready, ain't you?" " Yeah, I'm good." "All right." "Let's get on it." "I see you back here tonight." "All right." "Hey hey, you see that foul motherfucker, you let him have his money, okay?" "I don't need you messing with him." " All right." " All right." "Make sure that count's right!" "Yo, I need to talk to the little motherfucker." "Maybe you can do that with me, see it don't get out of hand." "Hey!" "Yo, Mike!" "Yo, what up, Duke?" "Yeah, I heard Randy's foster ma gonna take him out of Tilghman too, send him somewhere else." "That's messed up, man." "All right, holla, man." "How many?" "As a theory," "Detective Freamon believes there could be additional bodies in those vacants, maybe a dozen or more." " He believes?" " Lester Freamon is not in the habit of selling woof tickets." "I, for one, would not bet against him." "And what do you suggest I do with this information?" "My feeling is that City Hall should be brought into the loop." "We pull the bodies now before New Year's, and the stats go to Royce's last year in office." "Matter of fact, it gives Carcetti an advantage with regards to next year's crime rate." " You mean" " Tell the mayor that now is the time to empty those houses, not next year, when it's on his watch and he has to eat the stats." "Colonel, I see you've thought this through, politically, I mean." " I'm learning as I go." " I bet you fuckin' are." "Colonel, keep this conversation close." "That's a direct order." "You seen them girls at Douglass, man?" "Yo, you right, Duke." "Ain't gonna be like middle school no more." "You know, I'm just thinking, yo." "Dag, man, not again." "Where your people at now?" "Need any of your stuff from the pile?" "It ain't no thing." "Yo, man, listen." "Me and Bug got our own spot now, so you could come crib with us if you want." "What you mean Kenard took the stash?" "And he's still walking around?" "I'm gonna talk to him, Ma, make sure this never happen again." "Look at me, boy." "Kenard got to feel some pain for what he did." " He got to." " I don't" "You don't what, motherfucker?" "!" "This how you pay me back for all the love I showed?" "Shit, I been kept you in Nikes since you were in diapers." " I'm trying." " You trying, huh?" "That's what you gonna tell your father the next time you see him, that you trying?" "Or you gonna tell him what you've done?" "What he done got him locked up" "That's right." "Wee-Bey walked in Jessup a man, and he gonna walk out one." "But you out here, wearing his name, acting a bitch!" "Aw, look at you, crying now." "Fuck you think you going?" "Get your ass back here." "I ain't done talking to you." "I mean, I'm police, right?" "Murder police, and I got bodies." "I'm just supposed to let them laying lie?" ""We don't throw red up on that board voluntarily."" "That John-Goodman- off-his-diet-looking motherfucker was clear on that." " So go over Landsman's head." " Mm, Jimmy, that's you-- send an anonymous fax." "But you see, Lester here don't fancy boats." "And me, I get sick just filling the bathtub." "It's just wrong." "Yeah, just like when I seen J-Lo with that little itty-bitty Spanish dude." "Genius." "He hid his mausoleum right in the neighborhood." "How little Pedro gonna fill that big thing up?" "Oh, man, that girl got a prime cut of ass, boy." " And a good heart." " A good inverted heart." "This nail's like their signature." "Find it in any door in the West Side, and right as rain you're gonna find a body." "Yes, sir." "I'm proud to be chasing Mr. Marlo Stanfield." "Man, you act like you on the trail of Pol Pot or some shit." " Who?" " Motherfucker, I got $10 says we can leave here right now, go to any boarded-up rowhouse with a nail like that in the door, and we will find a body." " Make it $20." " There you go." "Well, but first let's have another little taste." "Jimmy, you in?" " No, I'm good." " Oh, come on, man." "Take that skirt off and have a drink, for chrissakes." " Drink that." " Agh!" "Man, don't play like that." "Aww." "Icicles, get 'em before they melt!" "Icicles!" "Icicles, come get 'em!" "Icicles!" "Hey, yo, Kenard." "Why you lie to me?" "Fuck you talkin' about?" "You said the police kicked your door in." "I seen the door." "They ain't kicked shit in." " How you gonna lie?" " Go on, man." " Yo, where the package at, man?" " Package up my ass, gump." " I'm about to" " You about to?" "Go on, walk, gump-ass motherfucker." "Hey, yo," "look at that little dude getting his ass beat!" "Y'all was talking too goddamn much." "Go ahead, Na'." "Get your pack off this bitch so we can go." "I don't want it." "I don't want it." "I'll take that 20 now, Bunk." "I can't see shit in here." "Aw, man." "I might pull out my wallet, reach in, and pull out a $25 by mistake." "I need me some Braille bills, something." "Hmm." "You ladies want to call the Crime Lab?" "Nah, man." "I'm like Stevie: too high." "You know I can't do no scene." "Well, there's not gonna be one, on account of there is no body, not until the bosses say there is." "And when that happens, you gonna miss all the fun, junior." "You know Daniels is gonna keep this alive." "The white shirts will fuck it up somehow." "You know it, Lester." "Maybe not, this time." "Daniels is C.I.D. It's a new day downtown." "I got it." "Whew, world is on its hole when Jimmy McNulty is the most qualified to drive." "Yeah, up is down, black is white..." "left is right." "What we got here, huh?" " Quiet overnight." " Cool." "Relief will be here for you after roll call." "It's Sergeant Carver." "How you doing, dawg?" "Quiet overnight." "You going to school this morning?" "We're gonna wait a little longer on that to be sure, but I can't say I'm comfortable going to work every day and leaving him here." "Blow over in a week or so, you'll see." "Till then we still have a car on the house, and you have my cell number if anything comes up." "We're gonna look out for you on this." " Have you had breakfast, Sergeant?" " No, but I gotta" "You have time for a plate, I'm sure." "Sure." "Yo," "I just dreamt something gave me an idea today." "Hey, Sherrod." "You remember when we turned that knocked down" "light pole at the scales?" "Pulled $80?" "I been thinking we can get to toppling a couple of those bad boys ourselves, get all Paul Bunyan and shit, you know?" "I mean, we'll be all discreet and all." "Not take the hacksaw to no more than a couple on some quiet streets, leave more than enough for some people to have light and all." "Thing is, I got this other thing" "I still need to take care of today." "Come on, Sherrod." "Wake up." "It's late." "No no no!" "What you do?" "What you do?" "What you do?" "Aw, man, come on, Sherrod." "Come on, man." "Come on." "Come on." "You weren't supposed to do this, man!" "Oh, man!" " No phones?" " Not a one." "And the players that were using them before" "Chris, Monk, Ray-Ray-- they were out there on those corners." "Now I would have seen if someone went to a burner." "God damn it!" "If we just stayed up on the wire two months ago, we wouldn't be going through this sh" "Can I help you?" "Which one of you is Sergeant Hauk?" "I am." "I'm Shea." "This is Thomas." "I.I.D." "Let me ask if you remember pulling a surveillance camera from l.S.D., serial number AW466J9." "You remember that?" "We also need to go over your paperwork on a couple of informants, so if you don't mind coming back downtown with us, you and..." "Detective Sydnor and the third guy, what's his name?" "Dozerman." "You don't need Sydnor or Doze, either." "Paperwork's all mine-- on the camera, on the informants, me alone." "Bodies?" "How many?" "Could be quite a few." "We won't know until we take down those doors." "And this is one drug organization you think did this?" "That's the theory, but nothing's certain at this point." "What is certain is that if we're going to do this, you probably want us to do it now, before the new year, while the bump in the murder rate is still attributable to Mayor Royce." "Thoughtful, Deputy, very thoughtful." "I don't want any more stat games from your department." "You need to get your people into those houses because if there are bodies in there, they need to come out." "But do it now." "I don't want to be finding any more bodies come January." "Yes, sir, Mr. Mayor, sir." "Choice comes down to this:" "We take the state money, and instead of being fucked up and broke, our schools go back to being merely fucked up." "No teacher layoffs, no program cuts, no school closures." "But the price the governor's asking is more state control over the school board and changes in the teachers' union contracts that would allow them" " to remove tenured faculty for cause." " Ouch." "If we don't take the money, it looks like we're shorting our kids." "We take the money-- we're giving up local control of education, which is gonna lose us a lot of middleclass black folks." "Not to mention the problem you might have two years from now running in the D.C. suburbs, explaining how you needed their money to bail out your schools." "He sees you coming, Tommy." "That's not important right now." "Take the money." "We need it." "Don't look at me." "If you take it, you're selling out the teachers, and that's my base." "If you don't take it, you're selling out the kids." "Either way, I'll probably rip you, and half the council will too." "Just glad I'm not the mayor." " You called?" " Word down the chain:" "Open 'em up." "And it's my guess this case is gonna need more manpower." "Yeah, no doubt." "In fact," "I might have lost Herc to an l.I.D. file." "Really?" "I went light on him for that car stop." "I didn't even think it would get to a trial board." "This feels like a bigger jacket." "Pick any two you want from C.I.D. for now." "If you get back up on a wire, we'll detail a few more." "Beautiful." "I don't know what you're talking about, but she was hot." "I'm going back on Friday right after work." "Hold on." "What the fuck are you staring at?" "How are you liking Homicide?" "Loving it." "Why?" "Anyway." "It's on the way, boss." "It's Joe and his message, but we already know what it is." "All right, girl." "Keep it close." "All right, 'Naldo, call your amigos and tell them it's on." "That's right." "Yep." "That's it." "One, come on." "Let me see that footwork." "That's it." "One, one, one, one." "That's right." "Yo, what's going on, Mike?" "Man, yo, I feel like I could just pancake a young'un right now, you know what I mean?" "What about you, Duke?" "Want some go?" "No, I'ma work this rope." "Yeah, you working it." "Like a gump." "They pull around back, we're gonna come at 'em from both ways, feel me?" "Ooh." "Hey, yo, call your friends, tell 'em where we at." "Yo, let me get that rope." "I said I'm workin' it." "Man, I said you's a gump, fucking dogshit and smelling-ass nigger." "Hey." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Man, fuck this." "Yeah!" "Go along!" "Get!" "Don't nobody want you in here, no way!" "You see what happened?" "That be it." "Hey, Daddy." "Kiss the butt of this lyricist." "Blow on my mike and make a wish." "Get up!" "Everybody, get up." "Get up!" "Let me get a $10, Daddy." "Let me get a $10." "I need a $10." "Get the fuck out of here, now." " Come on, I'll suck your dick for $15." " Trick-ass bitch, I said get." "Don't you want to see my stuff?" "Nah, ain't nobody want to see that stink box." " Get your ass gone." " Come on, let me get a $10, player." "What the fuck is this, the inner Harbor?" "Yo, what the fuck y'all think you doing?" " We painters." " Si, we paint." "Move the van out the way." "Oh, you gonna like what I got, soldier." "See?" "We paint." "We paint." "Oh... okay." "Which one of y'all gonna open the truck for me?" "Fucking amateurs." "Drink it slow, son." "What am I gonna do?" "I'll run you home." "I" " I can't go home." "She expect me to be my father, but..." "I ain't him." "I mean, the way he is and shit... it just ain't in me." "What's between you and Michael?" "Mike ain't Mike no more." "He went hard on this boy last night, fucked his shit up." "I can't go home." "I can't." "Give us a minute." "Mad at myself, man." "I shouldn't have shut Michael out like I did." "Namond did push it." "He ain't pushing nothing now." "Reckon I'll go mend the fence." "This ain't no motel." "Deacon, how'd you get by my people?" "You can't turn away church folk, ain't done in these parts." "You only come by for a favor, so what is it?" "You know a fella named Bunny Colvin?" "Yeah, that rogue police commander, tried to legalize drugs." " What's he done now?" " He can tell you best." "You did not bring" "It's something positive, Odell." " Has to do with kids." " Positive, huh?" "Bunny." "Delegate Watkins." "What's this all about?" "It's another bright idea." " You Michael Lee's mother?" " He got papers on him or something?" "I ain't no kind of police." " I'm just looking to get up with him." " You ain't alone." "He booked on out of here, got his own spot, took his little brother with him." " You know where he stay at?" " He ain't tell me nothing." "You find the boy, you let him know I need some help around here." "I popped him and Bug out my ass, and now they forgot where they came from." "What my ma say when you called?" "She was mad, right?" "Not really." "His mother..." "Lovely lady." "What she say?" ""Put that bitch in baby booking where he belongs," "let him learn something."" "She hung up before I could tell her we didn't have a charge." "Baltimore City 911." "Yeah, they beating a cop over here on Pennsie and Gold." " Police officer?" " Yeah, they're beating on him bad." " Pennsylvania and Gold?" " Yo, they firing shots now." "Signal 13, report of shots fired, Pennsylvania and Gold." "Signal 13" "They cleaned the motherfucker out, Joe, put it in the van them Mexican niggers rolled in." "I ain't hearing about no resistance." "Man, wasn't no time for that." "Omar had one of them commando squads with him, man." "I mean, he had this one ho pulling guns out her pussy, Unc." "The shit was unseemly, man." "I got to hand it to Mr. Little," " I ain't see this one coming." " They took the shipment, Joe." "Not no package, man, the motherfucking shipment." "Man, what we gonna tell the co-op?" "Hey, where you think my mind at right now?" "All I know, it's a lot of gangsters out a lot of shit, man." "I say we mob up and go find this faggot, see?" "That's what's really 'hood right there." "That's how you deal with shit." "A lotta gangsters in that room need to take us at our word first." "Yeah, first thing they gonna wonder about... is us." "You need to see my man." "I'll hook you up." "Who is this motherfucker?" "Let me get a word with you, Mike." "Listen, you got to understand" "I can't be having no physical confrontation" "like the one took place back there." "That kind of thing got to stay outside my gym." "Yeah." "Go ahead, Montel." "I come to tell you I was wrong, the way I handled it." "Step off, nigger." "Mike..." "Don't touch me, man." "Look, man, this here ain't you." "Man don't want you touching on him." "Mike." "I told you, step the fuck off." "Young man, if I was talking to you, you'd know I was." "Shit!" "He'll listen next time." "Go ahead, man." "Do him." "Nah, man." "I'll hang here for the ambo, all right?" "Go with your people." "Go ahead, son." "Dr. Johnson, please call Neuro l.C.U." "Dr. Johnson, please call Neuro l.C.U." "I'm sorry, son." "I'm gonna talk to Social Services." "We'll get you some help." "Randy..." "Would the on-call please return to Neuro l.C.U.?" "On-call, please return to Neuro l.C.U." "You gonna help, huh?" "You gonna look out for me?" "You gonna look out for me, Sergeant Carver?" "Do you mean it?" "You gonna look out for me?" "You promise?" "You got my back, huh?" "!"

"As Jedi, you have the best chance to escape, and there's no one I trust more to get the help we need." "You're going." "Chopper, too." "That's an order!" "Hera, I can't leave yet." "There's someone I have to warn about this, out in the wilderness." "What?" "Kanan, no!" "I need you and Ezra to go get help." "That's what I'm doing." "You mean from him?" "Hey, I'm a persuasive guy." "Who are you talking about?" "(SIGHS) You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "But I need you to trust me." "Don't keep me waiting long."

"Why not just attack now with overwhelming force?" "I could..." "Because I know these rebels." "I've studied them." "They will, no doubt, defy convention and attempt something unexpected." "We will be prepared for it." "As long as you do exactly as I say." "As you wish." "Fighting over glory?" "I do not require glory, only results for my Emperor."

"Do you think it chance this world was so difficult for you to find, eh?" "No." "But maybe we were meant to find it and meant to find you." "For what purpose?"

"There is something missing from our world." "The amazing animals that time has left behind." "But what if we could bring them back?" "What if extinction didn't have to be for ever?" "We're going back in time on a safari with a difference as wildlife adventurer Nigel Marven plunges into prehistory to rescue creatures on the brink of extinction." "His plan is to bring them back to the safety of the present and give them a second chance." "On his very first mission, he hopes to rescue one of the last of the dinosaurs from the most dramatic extinction ever." "Welcome to the ultimate wildlife sanctuary." "Welcome to Prehistoric Park." "It's a big day at Prehistoric Park." "Throughout this huge reserve, everyone is busy preparing for the first arrivals." "Come on, lads!" "Quick as you like!" "Can you get a 10-foot pole down to the bottom of the paddock." "They've almost finished the enclosures for everyhing from giant insects to dinosaurs." "Check everything!" "This is home to a dangerous creature!" "If Nigel can make extinct animals feel at home anywhere, it's here." "(Nigel) The natural geography will help us contain the animals." "There's the ocean to the south and, to the north, a mountain range." "Everything I need in terms of habitats - savannah, forest, rivers." "There's even a waterfall." "Perfect environments for prehistoric animals." "All they need now are the prehistoric creatures themselves." "One day Nigel plans to breed extinct animals in captivity." "But his first step is to only bring a few of each species back to see how they get on in the 21st century." "And Nigel knows exactly what he wants to start with." "The meanest and scariest of them all " "Tyrannosaurus Rex!" "(Roar)" "He's already worked out when and where he'll have to go to track one down." "The most widely accepted theory about why dinosaurs became extinct is a meteorite smashed into the Earth." "This is the Earth 65 million years ago." "This is where the impact was, somewhere in Mexico." "You can still see the crater." "Around that time there were masses of T-Rex here, somewhere in Montana." "I need to go back there to find them." "To rescue the last of the T-Rex," "Nigel is going back to the very end of the age of dinosaurs, as close to the meteorite impact as he dares." "65 million years ago Montana looks very different." "This is a world before grass, where volcanoes dominate the landscape." "Here, T-Rex is king." "Now all Nigel needs to do is to find one." "In a place with so many potential dangers," "Nigel and his team know the sooner they accomplish their mission, the better." "I just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew." "We've got so little time." "There's some wonderful forest over there." "Perfect habitat." "I think that's where we'll begin our search for T-Rex." "T" " Rex is a monster." "At a staggering 45 feet long and five tons, it shouldn't be too hard to track one down." "(Distant animal cries)" "What he'll do when he does find one is not exactly clear." "(Animal screeches)" "T" " Rex are not the only creatures around." "This must be a track way." "Look... you can see here these leaves have been nibbled, these twigs have been snapped off." "There's been a vegetarian browsing here and..." "Ah!" "The first evidence of dinosaurs." "Hard to see, but you can see this footprint here." "Three toes." "This is the classic theropod dinosaur, the same family as T-Rex." "They stand on two legs, they're bipedal." "It looks like there's a whole group." "Not as big as T-Rex, and vegetarian, as you can tell by the leaves." "And they've gone this way." "This is a big track way." "There must be a few of them." "And they've gone down this way." "His hunch is right." "An animal is rustling." "(Rustling)" "This is what normally happens with reptiles." "You hear them before you see them, hear them scurrying through the bushes." "(Whispers) It's still moving around there." "This could be our first dinosaurs." "(Animal screeches)" "Can you see that?" "Ornithomimus." "I've seen the fossils in museums." "Ornithomimus means "bird mimic"." "You can see why." "Exactly like an ostrich." "(Whispers) See how close we can get." "(Screech)" "That went right through me!" "That was a warning." "And look..." "All the others are all looking up." "He must have been the sentry." "The others are looking at us now, heads popping up all over the place." "(Screech)" "And they're vegetarians." "But they won't turn their beaks up at the odd insect or bit of meat." "And completely the opposite of what you'd imagine a dinosaur to be like." "These beaks at the front have ridges inside, just like modern ducks and geese, and they use those to crush their food." "This is terrific." "Our first dinosaurs." "(Screech)" "These Ornithomimus will soon be extinct, too, unless, of course, Nigel can save one." "I'd love a breeding herd of Ornithomimus, but we need a technique for catching them." "And I think this will work." "I've done it with ostriches." "You slip a sock over their head." "As soon as you cover their eyes, they calm down." "The only trouble I've got is that these things can run at 40 miles per hour." "There's so many in this herd, if I can get in their midst there will be a commotion and hopefully I can grab hold of one of them." "(Shrieks)" "(Squawks)" "(Growls)" "But now there's something else to contend with, something much, much bigger." "Something's chasing them." "It looks like the T-Rex have found Nigel before Nigel could find them." "(Roar)" "No sudden moves." "(Roar)" "Nigel does have one advantage." "T" " Rex is so top heavy, that if they trip, the fall can kill them." "(Roar)" "A bite of Nigel isn't worth the risk." "Down, mate!" "Get down!" "(Roar)" "That was a close one." "Predators don't like confined spaces like this." "And that's why the T-Rex are staying back there, I'm sure." "I think what we've got to do now is go back to camp." "Day One over and there's no T-Rex to take home." "At least there's no sign of the meteorite, either, but it can't be far away." "The following morning, the camp has some visitors." "(Animals growl)" "More creatures in the last throes of their existence." "A glorious sight to wake up to." "A big herd of Triceratops." "This is a tremendous sight." "When the fossils were found, they named these Triceratops Horridus." "It means "horrid three-horned face", but how could they?" "They are gorgeous." "And big, too!" "Eight tons." "And one over there, it's a big male, is at least 25 feet, eight metres long." "The good thing for us is there are a lot of them." "They're prey animals for T-Rex." "I've seen tracks of the predator over there." "Prey and predator attracted to waterholes." "I'm going to follow the tracks and see if we can find a T-Rex lair." "The footprints are fresh and it looks like a well-used track." "T" " Rex are fast movers, reaching 40 miles an hour when they need to." "Nigel's hoping these ones aren't too far away." "The tracks are really beginning to tell a story." "Look here." "A depression in the ash." "That was a big tail sweep." "There was a kerfuffle here." "Another tail drag over there." "The tracks are going on." "We're getting towards the centre of the territory." "What Nigel doesn't realise is he's already in the centre of their territory!" "(Roar)" "(Shriek)" "Crouch down!" "Get over here." "Get down." "This is their home." "There's bones scattered all over." "They obviously bring food back here." "It's terrific." "That kerfuffle back there, that must have been the juveniles fighting over scraps of food." "It's dangerous play." "T" " Rex have huge jaw muscles, giving them a bite 10 times more powerful than a lion's." "And there's males and females here." "In the fossil record, T-Rex skeletons have been found together." "That's a clue that they associate." "(Roar)" "They're a real mob, like a gang looking for trouble." "They really interact." "I wonder if they hunt in packs." "(Roar)" "Suddenly they all started moving this way." "It's one thing to find a T-Rex, but it's another thing to take one home." "Fortunately, dinosaurs lay eggs and they're a lot easier to carry." "I can go and have a look now, see if we can find any eggs or a nesting site." "Amongst the remains of the T-Rex victims littered across the den," "Nigel finds what he's looking for." "Unfortunately, he's too late." "This is all I can find, empty T-Rex eggshells." "They've been broken into by a predator, or more likely, they're last season's eggs." "It's so disappointing." "If we could have found a fresh nest and got the eggs, that would have been the easiest option." "Another day and he's still no closer to saving a T-Rex." "And up above are the first signs that the meteorite is closing in." "Streaking across tonight's sky are shooting stars." "Huge boulders plough into the Earth's atmosphere at 20, 000 miles an hour." "They are the precursor of something much, much bigger." "Look at this cosmological activity." "Those are meteors." "They burn up in the atmosphere, but they're in the bow wake of the meteorite." "And the meteorite, when that comes, will smack into the Earth." "That's the problem." "And we really have got such little time here." "I'm hoping tomorrow goes better and we can save a T-Rex or two." "The next day, the pack of T-Rex turn up, looking for trouble." "They're after their favourite food - Triceratops." "(Roar)" "They're charging for the Triceratops, right in the midst of the herd there." "What the T-Rex will do is find the weakest." "A fully-grown Triceratops is far from defenceless." "Their frill is made of solid bone." "But the younger Triceratops know better than to stand their ground." "Aagh." "I feel like I've been hit by a train!" "A baby Triceratops has run the wrong way." "The more it struggles, the more trouble it's in as the T-Rex's 13-inch serrated teeth sink deeper and deeper." "But help is at hand." "There's a Triceratops here fighting back the big female T-Rex." "(Roar)" "The horn's gone right into the upper thigh." "(Screech)" "And the males have just left her." "They've just skedaddled." "So much for the pack!" "Now the injured female has to make her own kill." "It looks like she's spotted her next victim - another youngster." "(Roar)" "For Nigel, it's the chance he's been waiting for." "He sets up the time portal." "Maybe I can get two dinosaur species for the price of one." "If I can lure the Triceratops through the time portal and then maybe the T-Rex will follow." "Aagh!" "Come on!" "Come on, T-Rex." "(Roar)" "That's certainly not a T-Rex!" "But, weighing in at three tons, this young male Triceratops is a great start." "It's not long before news spreads that Prehistoric Park's first dinosaur has arrived." "The park's vet, Suzanne, heads over to take a look for herself." "It's a Triceratops!" "It's a Triceratops!" "He's done it!" "Our first dinosaur, and look at him." "He's magnificent." "Park-keeper Bob is keen to move the newcomer into a secure enclosure." "Whoa!" "That's far enough." "Although he was an unexpected arrival," "Nigel thinks they've got the perfect place to put him." "Come on, I need to have a look at that." "Up you go." "Triceratops - our first dinosaur." "We need a good place to keep him." "I want to call him Theo." "It's a great name." "But he needs vegetation to browse on." "Over here there's too much grass." "So Bob's found the perfect spot, down here by the river." "That's where his enclosure will be." "They're just about to unload him." " How are you, Nigel?" " Thrilled to bits." "Our first dinosaur." "It's short notice, but I forgive you as our new visitor is magnificent, to say the least." " How's the enclosure?" " A bit makeshift, but it will do for now." "I've given him a name as well." " Theo the triceratops." " Theo." "Good name." "(Yells) All right!" "Let him out!" "Here he comes." "Whoa, whoa!" " (Laughs) Hey!" " Look at that!" "Plenty for him to eat." "Well done, Bob." "It's great." "All right, lads." "Come on." "Get the boards away and the truck out of there." "(Nigel) Really pleased with this habitat." "Grass is no good for dinosaurs." "It hadn't evolved when they were around." "Triceratops is not like a cow." "It doesn't graze." "It browses like a black rhinoceros." "It needs low shrubs and trees." "There's plenty of those for Theo here." "And its beak can snap off branches as thick as my arm." "This is gonna be great for him to thrive." "For Theo to grow to eight tons, he'll have to spend most of his life eating." "With the park's first dinosaur settled," "Nigel turns his attention once again to T-Rex." "And the pressure's back on Bob to finish off the enclosure." "I didn't have a clue how to build a compound for a T-Rex." "I've only seen one in a story book, but Nigel thinks this will do." "There's lots of area to run around, lots of shade to get out of the sun." "And if it wants to, it can stand up on the hill and survey its domain." "The enclosure will have to be finished soon because Nigel's on his way back to where he left off... 65 million years ago." "And this time he's promised to return with a T-Rex." "It's not just the dinosaurs that will be wiped out by the meteorite hit." "Nigel knows that everyhing he sees around him will be devastated." "(Animals squawk)" "What a magnificent place!" "Pterosaurs swooping overhead." "You can hear them calling all the time." "And sweet water." "It's hard to believe that this stream will be choked with ash and dust." "The meteorite will hit not too far away." "Time is running out." "This is my second rescue mission." "I am determined to save some T-Rex for Prehistoric Park." "There are lots of dinosaur tracks to follow, but Nigel is interested in one set in particular." "There's something strange with these tracks." "Look." "The toes have been dragged along." "I think it's the female T-Rex that was gored in the stampede." "We're close to where the Triceratops stampede was." "She's dragged her toes." "She's injured and she'll be moving pretty slowly." "If we head downstream and follow these tracks, we may catch her up." "The track takes him down river, where he's hoping to gain ground on the T-Rex." "With any luck, her leg injury will make her slower and a little easier to catch." "Listen." "Her footfalls are reverberating around the valley." "She's up there somewhere." "And an animal that weighs six tons can't walk quietly." "There, that's what she's after." "There's a Triceratops corpse and she can smell that." "That's why she's been moving along the river." "(Pounding footfalls)" "(Whispers) Come on!" "Get on the bank." "She's there." "I don't want her to see us." "(Roars)" "(High-pitched cry)" "She's starting to move away." "I'm certain it's the female that was attacked by the Triceratops." "She's been able to track down this free meal despite being on her own and badly injured because T-Rex's have a superb sense of smell." "(Roars)" "She's in luck." "The triceratops carcass has become stuck." "This is Nigel's chance to get really close to her." "She must be so hungry." "She's desperate for an easy meal." "Even though T-Rex is everyone's ultimate monster, you feel sorry for her." "She's a top predator." "They're so top-heavy." "If she went in this fast-flowing water, she'd be flipped over." "But she's desperate for the meat." "You just feel so sorry for her." "She's desperate to get out there, but she's got no chance." "The T-Rex limps off, leaving Nigel to figure out what to do next." "(Bob) Keep the camera on him." "Back at Prehistoric Park," "Theo the Triceratops is displaying some unusual behaviour." "Bob has asked vet Suzanne to come and take a look." " What is he doing?" " He's done it all morning." " What do you think it is?" " Haven't a clue." "He just keeps charging at that tree!" "Gosh!" "Oh, my goodness, look!" "What?" "Oh, my goodness!" " The poor thing!" " Any ideas?" "His frill has changed colour!" "It wasn't like that before." "(Growls)" "Maybe he's having a testosterone surge and he thinks that's a mate and he's charging him." " You think he needs a playmate?" " I think he thinks that tree's a friend!" " (Laughs)" " What?" "I've just had a very good idea." " What?" "Tell me." " Wait and see." "Oh." "OK." "Thanks, fella." "Just round the side." "Bob has a plan." "He's convinced he can tame even Theo's teenage tantrums." "Meanwhile, Nigel has, at last, come up with a plan of his own." "We're trying a technique used by game capture teams for things like antelope." "The T-Rex is working her way down river." "We've got ahead of her." "She won't go onto uneven ground and she won't go near the water." "We've built this palisade of logs and we'll funnel her towards the time portal and back to the safety of the 21st century." "We hope." "Hi, Adam." "Give us a hand." "The meteorite is getting ever closer." "So is the T-Rex." "And a herd of Ornithomimus are running scared." "(Ornithomimus shriek)" "There she is, the T-Rex." "That's why they're spooked." "(Roars)" "(Ornithomimus shriek)" "If we're lucky, she'll chase them through the time portal and we can have a breeding colony of Ornithomimus at Prehistoric Park." "Trapped between the T-Rex and the 21st century, they opt for the portal." "Yeah, one, two." "They are belting through!" "A whole phalanx of them!" "Bob is gonna get a real surprise." "Oh, my giddy aunt!" "Nigel, Nigel, what have you done?" "Suzanne, we've got a bit of a situation here!" "(Shrieks)" "But one Ornithomimus is slower than the rest." "Aagh!" "(Ornithomimus shrieks)" "(Crunch)" "That was close." "She took the Ornithomimus right there." "It's just a snack for her." "It was a juvenile." "Time's running out." "We must follow her." "With its catch still uneaten, the hungry T-Rex limps off back the way she came." "I can't understand." "Why doesn't she just devour the Ornithomimus?" "We cannot afford to lose her." "I do not want to go back to Prehistoric Park empty-handed." "(Animals Squawk)" "Back at Prehistoric Park," "Bob is settling in the herd of highly-strung Ornithomimus." "They're still a bit stressed out from the capture." "They're walking round and round the perimeter fence." "They're checking out their new home, but they'll be all right." "I'm not gonna feed them till tomorrow, just let them settle in a bit." "With thatjob done, Bob's back to his workshop where his plan for the bad-tempered Triceratops is now in full swing." " (Man) Tie her up." " We want that one up there." "Up you go." "You're doing a grand job, but I need this finished this afternoon." "Nigel's still tracking the T-Rex." "She's almost on her last legs." "Moving so slowly now, Nigel's had a chance to catch up." "But where she's going remains a mystery." "Nigel is about to find out." "(Nigel) It's been a long climb, but worth it." "There's babies there." "She's badly injured, but the babies need food, so she's brought the Ornithomimus all the way here." "Palaeontologists suspected that dinosaurs showed parental care." "For us, it's fantastic." "We can get a whole family of T-Rex back to Prehistoric Park." "But Nigel's optimism is short-lived." "(Roars)" "(Roars)" "The male really wants that carcass." "And the young are hiding." "If he sees them, they could be in trouble." "I'm sure, like all reptiles, T" " Rex can be cannibalistic." "(Roars)" "(Roars)" "(Roars)" "(Pounding footfalls)" "I think she's fully stunned." "The babies, there's no chance for her." "Mum's fallen." "I can't see any movement at all here." "(Roars)" "Hundreds of miles away, the meteorite has finally entered the Earth's atmosphere at 20, 000 miles an hour." "(Rumbling)" "The sonic boom it creates is one of the loudest noises the world has ever known." "(Thunderous boom)" "As it strikes the Gulf of Mexico, it causes an explosion seven billion times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb." "It releases a blast front moving at a hundred times the speed of sound." "This devastation is just the start." "(Thunderous rumbling)" "The cloud of ash will soar into the sky and molten rock will start raining down, igniting global wildfires." "And as it mushrooms out, it will engulf the entire world in a blanket of darkness." "All this is just three minutes away." "Nigel will have to think fast." "Has anyone got any food, anything that smells?" "We need the odour to entice the T-Rex babies through the time portal." "I just hope we can make it." "This must work." "We've only got seconds left." "They should be curious about the meaty smell of the sandwich." "They're more likely to lunge at me and attack me." "Come on." "You've got to come." "We've got to get you back." "That's it, come on." "Yes!" "(Thunderous explosions)" "Yeah!" "Whoo-hoo!" "There are only two!" "Our first T-Rex!" "Nigel has finally managed to rescue T-Rex from extinction." "The two T-Rex babies are now safely in the observation pen." "Suzanne is making sure they're in good health before they're taken to their permanent enclosure." "They look undernourished, but Bob will sort that out." "They're eating really well." "They're only little, but they're still so powerful, aren't they?" "They're cool, aren't they?" "(Roars)" "Prehistoric Park is now home to its first ever dinosaurs." "But vet Suzanne is concerned that one of them doesn't seem happy about being here." "He really doesn't look very happy." "Not when he stares like that." "He doesn't like me." "Back, Suzanne, he's charging!" "You are trying to shake us up." "Theo has got such attitude now!" "He's taken such a dislike to you." "He doesn't like you." "I hand-reared a fox before and when it got mature - it was a male as well - it started biting and attacking me." "He's mature and his hormones are fizzing through his body." "Too much testosterone." "Males always have to win!" "(Engine whirs)" " (Suzanne) My goodness!" " Bob, what have you done now?" "At last, Bob's plan is unveiled." "Look at this contraption!" "Wa-hey, stop!" "Suzanne, get the gates!" "This is man's work!" "Guys!" "On we go!" "Watch out, Theo, we're coming!" "Good luck, boys." "You'll need it." " Come on, Theo!" " Come on!" "Where are you?" "Oh!" "He charged from over there." "He charged from the bamboo!" "Bob's contraption is not as daft as it seems." "The tyre-padded tractor is a worthy opponent for Theo, giving him something to take his aggression out on." "It's a tactic gamekeepers use on rhinos." "OK, Bob!" "And it looks like it's working giving all the boys a chance to let off steam." "Men!" " Look at him staring us out!" " We're getting at him!" "That's why he's got breeding colours." "It's his first breeding season." " He'd take on anything!" " He's taking on us!" "Yee-haw!" "Charge!" "(Grunts)" "That was great fun, exhausting work." "Never thought I'd joust with a Triceratops!" "But that's what they did in the wild." "Look at this." "You can see injuries on the frill and neck." "They had jousting tournaments in nature." "It's keeping our boy occupied!" "But he's got to win every time." "We can't get too excited with him." "I don't want him to get injured cos he's magnificent!" "Nigel's dream ofhaving a park full ofprehistoric creatures he's saved from extinction is beginning to take shape." "The Ornithomimus are getting used to their new home." "The Triceratops has calmed down." "And the T-Rex babies have been put into their new enclosure." " Fantastic." "Well done, Bob." " It wasn't just me, it was the lads." "It's overkill now, when they're tiny, but when they're big, it's a perfect enclosure." " Have you seen them at all?" " Not since I put them in there." "There's places for them to hide." "They're not gonna be stressed." "Look, there!" " Give them some names." " I've done that." " OK, what?" " Matilda for the big female." "Then Terence, he's a bit puny, for the younger male." "(Bob) Very nice, Nigel." "It's kinda cute really, I guess." " They're not going to stay cute for long." " No." "Nigel's right." "The T-Rex will double their body weight every year until full size, turning Terence and Matilda into the most ferocious killing machines for 65 million years." "Let's hope Prehistoric Park knows what it's letting itself in for." "(Roars)" "Next time, Nigel sets his sights on a mammoth from the Ice Age." "But he's going to have to overcome the cold climate and a hostile reception." "(Roars)" "Get these vet samples!" "Managing the prehistoric creatures will not be as easy as they first thought." "Close the gate!"

"Joey?" "How'd you like to do me a favour?" "You kidding?" "You know it." "You take care of this for me till after the trial, okay?" "You got it." "Anything else?" "Oh, no." "Just put it in a safe place." "Sully will know where to pick it up when I want it back." "Don't worry about a thing." "Whenever you're ready, just ask for it and it's yours." "He's probably dumping those collection books on Joey." "See if you can pick it up." "We get our hands on those books, we got him nailed." "I'm gonna have to reload pretty soon." "Looks like action, Murray." "You getting it?" "Yeah, yeah, I got it." "You get that briefcase he was carrying?" "Yeah, I zoomed right in on it." "That's the Academy Award shot, Dad." "He's running, John." "Inspector 73 to headquarters." "I'm operating a stakeout vehicle and pursuing a felony suspect." "At the moment, I'm heading south on Third from 20th." "Pursuing a turquoise coupe," "California licence 883-Ida-Nellie-Baker." "Request backup units." "Move it." "Hold on, Murray." "Get away from it!" "He's gonna kill himself." "I gotta get him out of there!" " You can't, it's gonna blow!" " I've gotta get that briefcase!" "No." "No, no." "Okay, all right, so he got some evidence, but that doesn't explain all the craziness." "Does for me." "Doesn't it for you?" "No, not for a guy that's been working on the job for 32 years." "I mean, I wouldn't call it professional behaviour, that's all." "You know how long he's working to drop Al Royce?" " Mike, I know." " A year and a half." "One year and a half watching a cobra like Royce lie, buy, threaten his way out of one charge after another." "You've always told me, "If it doesn't fit, it wasn't a good collar."" "Wrong." "Dead wrong, buddy boy." "That bribery thing with the liquor licence?" " Yeah." " And the phoney pension fund?" "And what about last summer?" "That shylocking case they had on him." "Gold plated, wasn't it?" " Whatever happened to that one?" " What happened?" "The witness took a cab." "You figure it out." "No, I'm just saying that an old harness bull like John T. Connor, he's gonna think about what those things do to people." "How they feel about the law, how they feel about him." "Mike." "You all set?" "Sorry to hang you up." "Had to get an x-ray." "Got a sore rib." " Where you gave him the shoulder." " It was you?" "Felt like Dick Butkus." "I see why you hang around with him now." "That's it." "He's the brains, I'm just the muscle." "Mind if we push it?" "I wanna get to the courthouse." "Hey, muscle, you heard what the man said." "Let's get him to the courthouse." "Your obvious contempt for these proceedings, Mr. Royce, only demonstrates again how lightly you regard the rules the rest of us live by." "As a citizen of this community, every instinct I have is to let this case go to trial." "But I'm here as a judge, Mr. Capiello, and in that capacity," "I have to tell you that I am no longer moved by your promises to present additional evidence." "I hope you suggest to the district attorney that in the future, he waits until he has the evidence before he decides to prosecute this defendant again." "On the motion to dismiss, granted." "You mean if what was in that briefcase hadn't have been burned...?" "I don't know." " What happened?" " I got clobbered." "You heard him." "Look, I know what I heard, I still wanna know what happened." "You didn't come through, Connor." "You're all mouth." "You shoot blanks." "What do you want me to tell you?" "Listen, you got an indictment." " You didn't get that on fairy tales." " Who says I didn't?" "You?" "What do you know?" "What makes you think you even begin to know the bells that go off in this town every time you do your famous" ""I've got Al Royce dead to rights" number?" "Hey, except for the fact that he did it." "Nobody flaked him, pal." "He's guilty." "Now, how about that for something?" "Who's this?" "Another one of our merry pranksters from the police department?" "Why don't you admit it, Capiello?" "You blew it." "You couldn't cut it." "You really wanna know?" "I'll tell you what happened." "You came up with enough solid evidence to get a naughty boy expelled from school." "Plus a lot of cheap talk about more." "And your timing, Connor, your timing's terrific." "Just when everybody's making noises about appointing a special prosecutor, you walk in saying, "Hey, look what I've got."" "Okay, we took it to the grand jury, we did our little tap dance and here we are." "Now the case looks like a grandstand play, Connor." "Politics." "Maybe you could've turned it serious, and maybe I'm a jerk for believing that you could do it, but you didn't." "That's the last time I go up against Royce while some cop is out there" " barbecuing my case." " Yeah, well, you got an indictment!" "Come on, John." "He's just a wise guy." "He'll be glad-handing us like all" "Hey." " Hey, hey, you all right?" " Yeah, yeah." "Just dizzy, that's all." "Guess that shot I took this morning took more out of me than I thought." " You sure?" " Yeah, yeah, all right." "Maybe." "Mr. Connor, what you have is called an aneurysm." "Actually, that's a kind of a little balloon that sometimes occurs when the wall of a blood vessel becomes a little too thin." "A balloon?" "That bad, huh?" "Well, it's not good." "I knew I shouldn't have come up here for those x-rays." " Well, what do we do about it?" " Well, there's an operation." "You know, the trouble is, your little balloon should have been taken out a long time ago." "It's quite advanced." "And it happens to be in a part that is very difficult to get at." "Well, if you can't operate, you can't operate." "I didn't say we couldn't operate." "Just trying to explain the risks involved in your case." "You know, I showed this x-ray to two of the very finest surgeons in the business, Mr. Connor." " And?" " Well, they didn't like the odds." "Well, what else is there?" "I'm afraid there's not a great deal more." "What are you trying to tell me, doctor?" "The likelihood is that that little balloon I was telling you about, sooner or later, will burst." "And what?" "You die from it?" "Yeah." "Almost at once." "Oh, dear God." "Sooner or later, you said." "Well, it could be several months." "Look, the truth is, it could happen almost any time." "Well, you were talking about the operation." "Now, I mean..." "Well, if you were me, what would you do?" "Would you take it?" "Frankly, if it was me I think I'd get the most out of whatever time is left me." "Before I die." "Frankly, if it was me," "I think I'd get the most out of whatever time is left me." "Hey." "How about that, huh?" "Come on, sweetheart." "Give me the ticket, will you?" "Sully, you got about two hours." "Go over to the north side, check out Spots 1 and 3." " See what" " Over here, Al." "Then he gets in his car and he gets away." "And that's when I look and see that Sully," "God rest him, had been shot." "Terrible thing." "I told them all this last night." " You can't describe the car?" " No." "New, old, dark, light?" "Anything?" "Sorry, I can't help you, lieutenant" "What'd you say your name was again?" "Stone." "Yeah, yeah, Stone, that's right." "Well, like I was saying, Lieutenant Stone, I can't tell you a thing, but I want you to know, and I want you to tell the people downtown that I really appreciate everything you're trying to do." "We can't have people taking shots at our most influential citizens." "Are you trying to tell me that this...?" "This gunman was trying to kill me?" "Yeah, it crossed my mind." " But not yours?" " Not in a million years, no." "Well, just out of curiosity, you tell me why your driver was carrying a gun?" "Did he do that?" "He had a holster." "Well, I heard they didn't even find any gun." "Well, did you hear about the two spent shells?" "Two?" "Well, here I was, ready to swear the guy only fired once." "He did." "They were different calibres." "That's what they mean when they say eyewitness testimony's not reliable." "You know, you have enemies." "Who are they?" "Me?" "I don't have any enemies." "I don't mean people who hate your guts," "I mean people who wanna kill you." "As far as I know, I'm Mr. Loveable." "We'll let you know if we need you." "Yeah, beautiful, you do that." "I'll count on it." " Did you give them the cop?" " I didn't give them anything." "That doesn't mean I want them running around." " Hey, Al, a cop?" " What's the matter?" "Cops don't have accidents?" " What'd you say your name was?" " You liked that, didn't you?" "Nothing like letting us know what he thinks of us." "I'm not too choked up about him either." "Lieutenant, professional detachment, remember?" "Yeah, I remember." "I'll tell you, it's strange when you think about it." "You could argue that who's ever gunning for Royce is trying to do us a public service, and we're trying to stop him." "Now you know what got John T. so steamed up the other day." "Yeah." "Now, wait a minute." "That's the guy we ought to talk to." "He'd know if Royce crossed somebody, right?" "No way." "No way?" "I thought you told me John T. wrote the book on Royce." "He did." "But he's not here to read it to us." "Where is he?" "Had to go to Portland." "Some kind of family emergency." " He didn't leave a number?" " No, Shindler said he'd call the minute he got there." "So far, nobody's heard from him." "Come on, come on, I got you." "Remember Yosemite, Ro?" "Yeah." "Every minute of it." "I loved that." "You know, that's the best time I ever had in my life." "Why didn't I know it then, huh?" "Because it's not so, that's how come." " What's the matter, John?" " What?" "Nothing." "All I was saying was that I had it good and I didn't know it." " Now, what's wrong with that?" " Oh, no, come on." " You're saying that you're sorry." " No, I am not." "Or something." "Yes, you are." "You don't owe me anything." "Look, you said, "Let's get married," and I said, "Great idea."" "I knew what I was doing." "Yeah, and you knew what you were doing when you walked out on me." "That's the smartest move you ever made." " Is that so?" " Yeah, that's so." "Come on." "Don't hold it in." "Go on, say it." "You are something else, Ro." "You know, what I wanna tell you..." "You know all the times that I didn't show up and I didn't call you?" "You know, that had nothing to do with you." "Never another woman." " Why?" " What do you mean?" "Why are you telling me this now?" "Oh, I don't know." "I just wanted to tell you." "Listen, I knew there wasn't another woman." "I knew there was a job and me." "In that order." "I knew that." "Tell me." "Tell me, tell me, tell me." "Hey, hey, hey, I gotta get back to work." " I can't stay" " No, come on, let's go up to my place." " Let's go up." " No, I tell you what." "I'll come by this evening for dinner, we'll make an evening of it." " No, let's go now." " No, no, no." "I got something I've gotta do first." "Now, you stay right here and I'll get the car." " I'll go with you." " You stay here." "I'll get the car." "I'll be right back." "What's wrong?" "Johnny!" "John." "Johnny." " John." " The car." " Is the car gone?" " Yes." "Yes." "Are you all right?" "Johnny, don't move." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "John." " I'm all right." " Take it easy." " I'll call an ambulance." " I'm okay." "No." " But you've been hurt." " Don't do anything." "You hear what I said?" "I'm okay." "Let's see." "I've got your name, address, age, residency." "Now, have you ever committed a felony?" "No." "Any history of mental illness?" "No." "That's a beauty, isn't it?" "It's one of the most powerful lightweight weapons made." " How much is this again?" " Three hundred dollars, plus tax." "Yes, fine." "Give me a box of shells too." "You have to give Royce credit." "He can really turn them out in style." "I thought the Mad Russian there was supposed to have retired and left town." "And there's Fast Freddie." "The one on the end there, that's Mammalakis." "Numbers and prostitution." "He and Royce are supposed to be having some kind of feud." "How bad?" "I don't think anybody will start shooting, but you never know, you know what I mean?" "Old John T.'s gonna get pretty sore if he finds out a young punk put Royce away before he could." "He'll get over it." "Be like Ahab finding out his white whale got landed by somebody in a fishing boat." " That's bad." " It's pretty bad, yeah." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute, can you stop that?" "Yeah, here." " What did you see?" " I'm not sure." " Take it back the other way, will you?" " Okay, there you go." "Now, keep going." "Right there." "You see him in the car?" "No, you went too far." "Take it back the other way." "Freeze it." " Right there." " Hey, what's he doing there?" "It's him." "It's John T." "Thought you said he was in Portland." "Somebody in the family was sick." "Is that it?" "His sister." "He called me on the phone, he said he was at the airport." " He had to get her in the hospital." " Well, then he couldn't be there." "But he is." " Try his number." " Yeah." "Pretty good eye, buddy boy." "But right now you wish I was nearsighted." "I don't know why I didn't even see him there." "Because you were staked out on the funeral, not some car down the block." "He isn't there." "Murray." "Hey." "What's this, a stakeout?" " How was Portland?" " It's all right for ducks." " I'll take the fog over the rain anytime." " Come off it, John." "You wanna tell me that wasn't you sitting outside the church?" "Well, yeah, that was me." "How'd you find out?" "Well, it's kind of a long story, you see." "But the punch line is I found out about it along with half the department." "We were filming it, you know." "And later, I'm doing the blow-by-blow and pointing out the celebrities, and there's my partner." "Just sitting there like he belonged there." "And I'm standing in the squad room with my bare face hanging out, trying to explain why I didn't know anything about it." "That's it?" "That's what you're steamed up about?" "Yeah, I got a little frosty, but that's not half of what's bothering me right now." "You weren't even gonna tell me, were you?" "What's going on, John?" "Well, maybe you better tell me." "I gotta check with you before I do anything now?" "I came back, I heard about the funeral and I swung over to cover it, that's all." "Come on, man." "It's me, remember?" "You can do that number on somebody else's head, but not on mine, all right?" "Now, you went there alone because you didn't want me there." "All I'm asking you is, why not?" "This doesn't concern you, Murray." "Doesn't concern me?" "Man, I stay alive because I know what you do, how you do it and when you do it." "I can't count on that, I'm a dead man, John." "Now, you told me that when I first walked into your office and took off that blue shirt." "Before we even shook hands." "I think all these years buys me a straight answer, John." "I never gave you anything but a straight answer." "Now, this doesn't concern you." "What, you think I blew it with Royce?" "Did I do something?" "Drop the ball?" "What?" "It's got nothing to do with you." "This is something I gotta do alone." " That's the way you wanna leave it?" " That's the way I'd like you to leave it." "There's nobody else I'd buy that from." "You know that." "I'll be downtown." "I can't believe it." "Yeah, you look fine, Rosemary, just fine." "Oh, Mike." " It's been a long time." " It sure has." "I don't know, you just never get to see the people you wanna see and see too much of the people you don't wanna see." "True." "Besides, I didn't wanna make John T. jealous." " That'd be the day." " Have you seen him recently?" "You know, don't you, Mike?" "I'll be outside if you need me." "All morning, I kept feeling like I was the only one that knew that..." "How much did he tell you?" "He didn't wanna tell me at all." "I fixed dinner for him." " This was last night?" " Yes, it was." "Well, what else happened last night?" "While I was cooking, you know, he kept laughing and joking around." "But anybody who knows him as well as I do could tell that it wasn't natural." "And then later, he started to shake." "Shake." "You know, like he was cold." "He cried." "And I held him, told him that I loved him." "Because he cried." "Because it's human to cry." "And it's human to share." "And that's when he told me that he was going to die." "Now, wait a minute." "What's all this about dying?" " You didn't--?" " No, I didn't know." "I shouldn't have told you, Mike." "What's the matter with him?" "Why is he going to die?" "There's nothing you can do for him." "Just let him alone, please." "All right." "It'll be all right." "I'll take you home." "No, I don't wanna go home." " You're sure?" " Yes, I feel better here." "Mike, you came here for some reason." "Why?" "What was it?" "Well, I knew that he's been acting funny lately." "I couldn't put my fingers on it, I couldn't understand it, I" "Now I think I do." "Oh, yes." "Excuse me, but I'll keep in touch with you, Ro." "Johnny." "Hop out." "Grab a cab back to headquarters." "I don't know who's on duty, but whoever it is, tell them I want a 24-hour surveillance on Royce." " What?" " I'll fill you in later." "Oh, and listen, pass the word." "If anyone sees John T., tell them I wanna know about it." "Taxi." "Hello, John." " Oh, hi, Mike." "How are you?" " What is it, you're moving?" "No, I'm just getting these clothes down to the Goodwill." "You know how this stuff collects." "What can I do for you?" "If it's about this morning, I already talked with Murray." "I got up there and my sister wasn't as bad off as they thought so." "You know, I got a nurse for her and I shot on back here." "How about you, John?" "How are you doing?" "Oh, I'm fine, you know." "No complaints." " Why?" "What do you mean?" " I mean, I just talked to Rosemary." "She told me you've got some crazy idea you think you're dying." "Crazy idea, huh?" "Well, it's a fact, Mike, and I know it." "What do you know?" "Are you a doctor?" " I've been to a doctor." " Well, get yourself a specialist." "I've been to specialists." "What do you think I am, a dummy, Mike?" "Look, I appreciate what you're saying but this thing, no doubt about it." "I'm sorry, John." "You know, it's a funny thing." "When my father died, I remember, worst part about it was getting all his stuff cleared up afterwards." "You know, all the clothes and..." "So I just thought I'd get rid of these and..." "And then maybe I'll go and take that hunting trip." "The one I said I was always gonna take, and I never did get around to it." "John." "John, I really came to ask you about that shooting the other night." " Royce's bodyguard." " Oh, you on that, huh?" "Butcher Sullivan?" "Well, that could be almost anybody." "I figure the fellow was after Royce." "Sullivan got in the way." " Yeah, that's possible." " Where were you?" " Well, what kind of a question is that?" " A lousy one." "I hate it." "But I'm..." "I'm still gonna have to check the slug from your gun against the one they pulled out of Sullivan." "Hey, Mike." "That's right." "All right." "I took a shot at Royce." "So what?" "He's filth." "He spits on the shield." "If I had time, Mike, I'd put him away, but I don't." " Somebody else will." " Yeah, but I don't know that, see?" "And I'm not gonna take the chance." "I'm gonna kill him." "Because the way I figure it, that's the least I can do." "Now, like, who has nothing to lose?" "Mike, it makes sense." "Come on." "All you have to do is say you didn't find me." "Then I'll do it, I'll turn myself in to you." "I swear I'll do that." "What do you say?" "Don't make me answer that." "Yeah." "It's kind of stupid, isn't it?" "You're a good cop, Mike." "Okay, let's say that it's true." "I'm not buying it, but let's say that it is." "All I'm asking here is, let's not forget about who the man is." "I mean, 32 years in the department." "Now, that should entitle him to a little consideration." "Nobody likes it any more than you do, Murray." "Oh, come on, Steve." "I know where you're at." "You're saying he's a rogue cop." "Forget about what might be going through his mind." "Yeah, yesterday, he was one of the boys, one of the old-timers, one of the best, right?" "Today, you can't wait to crucify him." "Now, I didn't say that." "Well, what are you saying then?" "You feeling sorry for Al Royce?" "Well, I'm sorry too, man." "Everybody knows Al Royce is a victim of his environment." "What do you wanna do?" "You wanna issue Connor a hunting licence." "Did I miss something, or was there an announcement making us executioners, and John T. Connor gets to fire the first shot because of his long devoted service or something?" "Okay." "Okay, okay, now, okay." "What we've got to do is to find Royce before Connor does." "And, Murray." " I'm counting on your help." " To save who?" "Royce or John?" "Both." "The best thing any of us can do for John T. is to find Royce and get him undercover." "And Connor knows more about Royce than we do, that's all." "Well, let's get going, huh?" " Look, Steve" " Murray." "Murray, forget it." "There are just some things you can't forget, you know?" "I spent 12 years of my life handcuffed to that guy." "You think he wants to forget that too?" "Maybe what he's doing now, he doesn't want to rub off on you." "Come on." "Nobody home." "Suspect reported leaving the Yacht Harbor in a two-tone green Mustang." "Inspectors 8-1, 10-4." "Alert all units in the area." "Check, 8-1." " Get out of there, John T." " Okay." "He's still looking." " Where would he go next?" " Who knows?" "All right, check the list again." "St. Francis Barber Shop, zero." "Nickey's Hideaway, zilch." "Zilch." "Continental Baths, nothing." "Betty 'O. Wonder what that is." "Waterfront Café, zero." "Say, there's a horse called Betty 'O, isn't there?" "I'm sure there is." "Hey, yeah." "John T. told me that once." " Royce is into that." " What, he owns a horse?" "Well, it's not anything big with him, but it was something." "A piece." "That's what he said." "He owns a piece." "This must be the name he told me." "Well, come on." "Betty 'O." "Betty 'O, Bay Meadows, seventh race." "Come on, move it." "Ten-four." "San Mateo Police on the way." " You're looking for Royce, right?" " That's the idea." "Guy downstairs said I can get to the roof this way." " What's going on?" " Oh, I'm just looking for a guy." "Thank you." "There's his car, Mike." "Ladies and gentlemen, the results of the sixth race are official." "The winner, Number 4, Lucky Fellow, with Jimmy Nukham up, followed by Number 9, So Long." "The show horse, Number 6, Riot Red." "Say." " Where do the owners hang out?" " Clubhouse." "Or if they got a horse running, down by the paddock." "Steve, take the paddock." "Say, where's the other fella?" "Who?" "You mean the guy that just came through here" " a couple of minutes ago?" " Yeah." "What did he look like?" " About my age, grey hair." " Which way did you say he went?" "He went up to the roof." "That door right up there." "Ladies and gentlemen, the horses are now entering the track for the seventh race." "John." "Don't do it, John." "I gotta do it, Murray." "John." "What happened?" "Did I get him?" "Yeah." "You got him." "I'm sorry, John." " Think I'll ride in with him." " Sure." " Look who takes the limo." " So close." "Did it ever cross your mind?" "What?" " Oh, nothing." " No, go on." " Go on." " No, no, I was just curious." "Why?" "Did you think about it?" "No, no." "He's not immune, he'll get his." "But what happened back there, it really didn't have very much to do with justice." "But had a hell of a lot to do with the use of power." "A man and his gun." "It just isn't the answer." "Were you tempted?" "Buddy boy that's between me and John T." " But you know what?" " What?" "What Murray did is what I'd want you to do if that had been me."

"Previously on "Turn"..." "What'd you find out?" "A brigade of Hessian mercenaries 1,500 strong readies to march to Trenton." "I gotta get this back to Ben right away." "If German mercenaries are in Trenton, then the British are surely not." "Now, don't you think General Washington should want to know that?" "Marco." "Polo." "Marco." "Polo." "You are a traitor and a spy." "You believe you should be commander instead of Washington." "And I agree." "Did you arrange to sell Selah Strong's crop before or after you sought your attainder?" "All these confiscations achieve is to create more Selahs, more Ben Tallmadges, prolonging the war." "There is no war without an army, and Washington's is finished." " You underestimate them."

"What I need from you is a letter from Colonel Cook to get me past the checkpoints." "Abraham, no one is conducting business over the holiday." "Which leaves us with no competition." "See, all the fighting has stopped for the winter, so Howe's entire army is bunkered down in the city." "Just think of the demand that this creates." "Now is the time to renegotiate our contract." "Alas, we've struck a gentlemen's deal with Cook." "You want me to give you his letter so you can sell to somebody else?" "The army has needs." "The city's population will have tripled." "Why are you so anxious to go to New York?" "Don't you want to celebrate Christmas with your family, with your wife and child?" "Of course I do, but, uh..." "I must provide for them first." "Well, if it's a question of a loan..." " No." " ... to get you through the winter." " I don't want..." " Mary doesn't have to know." "I want nothing from you." "I had noticed you'd been avoiding me since the fortification of the barracks." ""The fortification."" "Is that truly what you're calling it?" "I call it my duty and I would do it again." "Well, good." "You still have your wife's gravestone to tear out." "She would know you didn't mean that." "Just the same as you saying you want nothing from me is untrue." "You want my pass to the city and I do not grant it because I know that you running from your home, from our family, will not bring you peace."

"It is the military provision within it, this Dunmore Proclamation, that forms the basis of my complaint." "Please do tell us what fault you find with Lord Dunmore." "Not with the man himself." "It's just... it's cruel, this business of freeing slaves of suspected Patriots." "I am sincerely sorry that you're being punished for your husband's actions, but he is a confirmed insurrectionist, madam, not a suspected one." "These poor souls have never had to provide for themselves." "And now you give them a mere seven days to prepare for a life they have never known."

"Slavery is a sin, which is why it has just been legally abolished in England and, I expect, soon throughout the Crown Colonies." "The Dunmore Proclamation will be upheld." "The able men will go to New York and join the war effort, and as for the women, I've already arranged a perfect opportunity for your housemaid." "It's, uh... uh, Abigail, is it?" "All right."

"Then walk free with one of your gals." "They ain't important." "Not like you." "Abigail:" "Why am I so important all of a sudden?" "Well, you can read, can't you?" "Jordan:" "Don't be afraid, Abby." "I know your secret since way back." "Look, if you treat me right, maybe I'll stick with ya." "I'll protect you and your boy." "You gonna need a strong man." "My son is all I need."

"Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant is his title." "He hasn't been Major Rogers since he fought the French and their native allies." "Ah, so this is where your commander keeps all his favorite boys." "Not bad, Johnny." "Did you follow me here?" "It wasn't hard to track ya." "Us Rangers always get our man." "Oh, so you found that dragoon you've been hunting at long last?" "Oh, no, I recall." "You came back from Long Island empty-handed." "And the bird sings to me that you came back from New Jersey with a captured general in tow." "I should wish to talk with your prize." "Where is he?" "The birds tell me your Rangers have been foraging for purpose, offering to take any task for any sum." "For the Crown." "Just because you lot plan to slumber all winter doesn't mean Georgie does." "Have you intelligence to share?" "I have experience." "Georgie fought alongside me in the wild, not in the dainty fields of Europe where rules matter." "Still, when the bounties of his men expire next week, he shall be short precisely one army, and General Howe will no longer have use for the hounds of war." "Tell me, Robert, what do you intend to do when this war is officially over?" "Return to settle your estate?" "Your debts?" "Apologies, sir." "Your presence is requested by General..." "Oh, I aim to settle all accounts, boy." "Frederick, please show my guest out." "Frederick:" "Yes, sir." "Happy New Year, Major." "To peace!" "Major:" "Tallmadge, on your feet." "Sir." "Muster out and collect your supplies." "Every man gets three days' cooked rations, 40 rounds of ammunition, fresh flints, and a blanket." " For what, sir?" " Secret mission, they say." "Password challenge is "victory."" "And the answer, sir?" ""Or death."" " Caleb!" " What?" "You know what this is all about?" "Me?" "No." "Thought you would." "All they told me is we're crossing the Delaware." "Great." "They told us just to follow you." "Huh?" "Well, you're the whaler." "As long as we're crossing, he's captain." "That's me." "So, you, you, and you grab the push-poles." "Right, push off!" "(boat creaking)" "Caleb:" "I mean, you ask me, this is just a glorified scout." "Secret password, "Victory or death."" "No, Washington's just trying to make us feel like we're still in the fight." "Caleb, look." "Jesus." "This is no scout." "I'm sorry." "I was being silly." "No." "Do you like it?" "It's beautiful." "It's yours." " I insist." " (Laughs) I couldn't..." "Please, take it." "I know how impossible this all must be for you." "I want you to know that I am here and I will continue working for you in this difficult time..." " Abigail..." " ... for whatever you can pay." "We will survive this." "Even when I'm free, we shall still be friends." "You're not going to be free." "Major Hewlett is hell-bent on making a gift of you to a British officer in New York." "I am horrified by this decision." "I protested as vigorously as I could." "But my possessions and any say I might have had are gone." "I'm as powerless in this as you." "No, your possessions are being taken." "You yourself are not." "I don't know what to do." "Tell me what to do." "Don't let them do this to me." " I pleaded with them, Abby." " Plead with them again." "Annie, please." "I'm begging you." "If I must go to New York, I will go." "But let my son come with me." "He can work." "He can earn his keep." "I asked, Abby." "I begged." "I'm so sorry." "(sobbing)" "(whispering) Anna." "Anna!" " Anna, wait!" "I need to talk to you." " No!" "I need to talk to you." " (sobbing)" " What's happened?" " They're taking everything." " What?" "Everything. (continues sobbing)" " Is it the attainder?" " (Sniffles)" "From my father?" "Look, we shouldn't waste any more time." "I need you to do something for me." "I need you to hang a black petticoat." "Why?" "The British are recalling one of their most important men," "General Cornwallis, back to London." "Look, I copied this straight from Hewlett's correspondence." "We need to get it to Caleb and then straight on to Ben." "It's too late." " Listen, Anna..." " It's over." "Washington's finished, everyone says so." "That's why Cornwallis is leaving and why this intelligence, as you call it, can be gotten in any local gazette." " Anna." " Now, go before somebody sees you." "Anna, wait." "You once said to me, "What are you waiting for?"" "Well, I'm here." "I'm trying to fight back." "I'm trying to change things." "Things have changed, Abe." "It's time for me to leave this place." "No, you can't go." "What's left here for me?" "You have a family, a wife and a child." "I have a husband in prison." "There's nothing you or Ben Tallmadge can do about that." "Anna." "What is it you... you sailors say?" ""Fair weather brings cloudy weather"?" "Maybe this time it'll be the reverse." "Or maybe the fog will lift and there'll just be more fog." "We're here." "All right, on your feet, men." "Everyone, check your flints." "Move back, you're tipping her." "Watch those arms." "Grab that swivel gun!" "Ben, no!" "Ben!" "Pull him!" "All right?" "Hey, wake up!" "How's that fire coming on?" "Come here, you." "You're not going on me like this, you dumb bastard." "You hear me?" "You stay awake, all right?" "(echoing) Come on!" "You look at me!" "Caleb:" "Know why you can't die?" "You're still a virgin." "See, all you ever done is box the Jesuit." "I'm surprised you're not blind." "Now, the man upstairs, He don't take kindly to virgins over the age of 20." "Sees it as a waste of His good works." "(coughing)" "(Caleb urinating)" "Hey, Happy New Year, Tall-boy." "How do you feel?" "(groans)" "Where are the... where are the men?" "Right now?" "Gone." " Gone?" " Yeah." "You've been out for a few days, my friend." " What?" " The year's over." "Bounties are up." "I doubt too many are keen to reenlist." "Where were they headed?" "Uh, Trenton." "Trenton?" " (bottles shatter)" " Shite!" "Hey, now, that's on you, not us." "It wasn't my fault." "The ox moved the cart." "You don't look like an ox." "Clean it up." "(Philomena laughing)" "I'll show you, Lethario." " (chuckles) - (Door opens)" "Who are you?" "Identify yourself." "I demand to know the meaning of this intrusion." "Charles?" "Robert Rogers." " Robert Rogers?" " In the flesh." "(both laugh)" "I haven't seen you since the disaster of Carillon." " Oh!" " (Both laughing)" "My apologies, I trust that John told you that I'd be joining you, yes?" "Ah, Miss Endicott, you are in the presence of a true hero of the Seven Years' War." "The Indians named him "White Devil."" "(chuckles)" "Boiling water, terrible temper." " Oh." " Nah." "It's a pleasure, Miss Endicott." "Major Andre was called away by Lord Cornwallis." "Yes, that's an unfortunate business." "He requested that I ask the good general here..." " (grunts) - ... a few questions in his absence." "It's a mere formality." "This any good?" "Oh, very good." "Let me get you a chair." "Abe:" "Come on." "Come on." " Hey, Mr. Baker." " Oh, Mr. Woodhull." "What's all this?" "Oh, just helping Mrs. Woodhull." " (door opens)" " Abe:" "Mary?" "Shh." "(quietly) Where are you going?" "I'm going to your father's for the Feast of the Epiphany." "No, no, we're not." " Abraham..." " Mary, we spoke about this." "I've spoken to him." "We are not going." "Thomas is sick." "What?" "He has the croup." "(Thomas coughs)" "Oh, Sprout." "Who told you that?" "Dr. Mabbs." "He was just here." "He recommended inhaled steam twice daily and a warm environment for the rest of the winter." "Whitehall has a hearth in every room and excellent servants." "I can keep a fire burning here night and day." "My own brother died of this." "I won't risk our son's life." "Well, you'll have to keep him bundled, then, all right?" "There's a chill out there." " Come with us." " I can't." "This is a time to be with family." " Mary, I can't see him." " I..." "I know that you're upset with your father, but think of his pain." "He made a terrible sacrifice for the good of the town." "Sacrifice?" "The man debased himself in front of God and the entire town." "I'm not ready to forgive him that and I'm certainly not ready to share his table." "(Thomas crying)" "Just go." "Go before I change my mind." " (Thomas coughing) - (Horse whickers)" "As you may have heard, you are being sent to New York to join the war effort." "There you will be assigned to the Black Pioneers and serve under Captain George Martin." "At the end of your tours, if you have served diligently, you will receive these signed papers attesting to your freedom." "Take heed." "If you try to desert your ranks or flee your duty, your freedom will be rescinded permanently." "Don't take God out of your thoughts... (quietly) ... or let anyone know you can read." "Yes'm." " Mama, please." " Hush, now." "Baby." "Go on, now." "Go." "Aberdeen will take good care of him." "I want you to." "That's not possible." "I know what you've been doing with the laundry." "You hang petticoats to summon the Brewster boy." "The one who's fighting for the rebel side." "I saw you in the barn that night... you, Mr. Caleb, and Mr. Abe all together like when you were children." "But what you're doing is no childish thing." " Abigail, listen." " They say..." "I'm to work for a Major John Andre." "I will cook, clean, come to know his secrets like no other." "Protect my boy in Setauket... and I will do your laundry in New York." "Do you agree?"

"Yeah," "What's that?" "Silverware." "I'd rather you have it than Hewlett or your father." "Mary will appreciate the quality, I'm sure." "Where is she?" "Uh, she's gone." "So's Thomas." "They're both at my father's house." "Oh." "I see." "I've never been inside your home." "(chuckles)" "Well, of course you haven't." "That'd be forbidden, wouldn't it?" "Abraham, what has happened?" "Doesn't matter." "Doesn't matter." "Nothing matters, actually, when we take the measure of things, as we're meant to do at the New Year." "In fact, let's make a toast." " (liquid pouring)" " To the year ahead." "To 1777." "How much have you been drinking?" "Mm, just a little bit." "Here, have some." "I've come for another reason." "What would that be?" "It's about our signal to Caleb." "Oh, I see." "Now you wanna hang the petticoat, is that it?" " No." " Well, good, because I burned the letter." "You were right." "It's useless." "So I don't need your laundry line or your sermon or your charity." "Shouldn't you be using that to buy your husband's freedom instead?" "Abigail knows about the petticoats." "She saw us meet with Caleb in the barn." "She knows he smuggled out a letter and now she's traveling with that knowledge to New York." "That is what I came here to tell you." "But now I see it was a mistake." "Wait, Anna, Anna." " Wait, wait, wait." " Let me go." "Tell me, what did she say?" "Did she mention me?" "What does it matter?" "Nothing matters, right?" "I don't even know who you are anymore." "Look, everything I do puts me right back on my arse." "I have no idea if my letter got to Ben or if he got it to Washington or if any of it meant a damn thing." "Look, I do want to strike against the enemy." "That does matter to me." "Everything matters, you know that." "You know me, Anna." "You always have." "Oh, God." "What are you doing here?" "I live here." "I've had the utmost regard for this family." "Beyond the kindness and hospitality, you, Mrs. Woodhull, and little Thomas always stood as a symbol of what I came here to fight for." "I suggest you join your wife and son at the judge's home for Epiphany." "(door closes)" "I can't make out the uniforms, can you?" "No." "Wait here, I'll see if I can get closer." "(guns cock)" "Victory." "Or death." "(laughs) You two princesses made it." "Yeah." "Kneel for your betters, mate." "Glad to see you in one piece." "Yeah, you, too." "He's the one saved your swivel gun." " Boy, did we use it." " They never saw us coming." "Yeah, surprised those German bastards right out of their beds." "Come on." "(whispers) Christ on a pony." "Hessians." "In Trenton." "Woodhull." "(both laughing)" "Ready for the bad news?" "Bloodybacks ain't too happy." "Cornwallis is camped 'cross that creek with all his boys." "Where are the rest of ours?" "Washington marched them off an hour ago real quiet-like." "Took some local cut-through to Princeton." "Then what the hell are we still doing here?" "Look alive, boys." "Oh, we're the decoys." "General, I recommend we attack now while we still have the element of surprise." "Cornwallis:" "Washington's entire force is stretched along that bank." "To turn his flank in this pitch?" "Doubtful at best." "Andre:" "It must be two, 3,000 men." " (men shouting) - (Pots banging)" "(laughing)" "Lee:" "Major Rogers..." "I'm afraid we must retire for the evening." "Oh, no, no, Charles." "You are going to indulge me one more time." " (groans)" " Hey." "You see, Miss Endicott, I'm intrigued by legends..." " yours, mine, Washington's." " Yes." "We established our reputations during the Seven Years' War." "Mm-hmm." "But where we were... sharpened by success," "George was forged by failure." "Exactly." "George Washington is an abysmal tactician." "Always has been." "He gets more men killed than any commander has a right." "At least he isn't a traitor like you." "I beg your pardon?" "See, you gave up your men for 30 pieces of silver." "Yeah." "A Connecticut dragoon unit filled with apple-cheeked young boys fresh from their mothers' bellies, fighting for freedom, fighting for you." "And you gave them up to John Andre." "And Andre fed them to me." "And we slaughtered them like dogs." "One of those dragoons got away." "You are going to give me his name." "Benjamin Tallmadge."

"You were right." "This is definitely better than being at work." "One thing you didn't warn us about though, bloody midges." "You are a big girl's blouse." "Anyway, now that you've mentioned work, and seeing that I bullied you to come all the way out here to celebrate the fact," "here." "Congratulations." "No knight should be without his sword."

"You evaded capture for 22 hours and 47 minutes." "You're straight to the head of the class." "Of course the real trick to survival lies not from running and hiding, but in removing your enemy's capacity to hunt you down." "[Dog barks]" "Here." "Shoot the dog." "I'm sorry, sir, what?" "Take the weapon and use it." "During the selection process, you are under my command." "That's a direct order, Cooper." "You're taking a piss, right?" "He thinks I'm pulling his leg." "Do I look like a sodding comedian, shit?" "No, sir." "I still won't do it." "You don't have a choice." "Finish the job." "Shoot the dog." "Shoot it!" "No, sir!" "What use are you to my team if you can't even kill a dog?" "I didn't say I couldn't kill a dog, sir." "I just will not kill that dog for no reason." "You're bent, Cooper." "I don't need a man of conscience." "You're failing me for this?" "You failed yourself." "We're on a different level here, Cooper." "For that, I need men of action." "Not deeds." "[Gunshot]" "No!"

"The most important football match of my life is playing tonight and I'm stuck at the back side of beyond without a six pack or a telly." "That's the army for you." "It's England v. Germany, man." "Full on footy war." "Well, it's nothing like this at all, isn't, Joe?" "It's just an exercise." "Hardly life or death." "Don't bet on it, Joe." "You're fucking slaying me." "If you'd paid any attention at all during the briefing, Kirkley, you'd know exactly who we're up against on this harmless exercise." "Who's that then?" "Special Forces, you plunker." "Bollocks to them." "All right." "All right." "Listen up." "I'm gonna make this quick and to the point." "All I wanna do is get home, jump into a warm bed with a nice hot woman and watch the footy." "Planning on scoring, Sarge?" "Mind you don't foul her in the penalty box." "All right." "Ban it, private parts." "As for this moment as far as we're concerned, we are 50k behind enemy lines." "Now, if we do happen to make a contact," "I expect nothing less than gratuitous violence from the lot of you." "As we're firing blanks, it doesn't mean we have to be thinking nice thoughts." "So, you remember, you put five down." "You get stuck in, you kick their fucking teeth out or I guarantee you, Joe, they will be having your bollocks for breakfast." "Hard boiled or fried, Sarge?" "Scrambled." "Here, Spoonie." "Oh, smart." "That's nice and new and shinny doesn't mean it's worth shit." "Remember I want that back." "What about you, Sarge?" "Well, I'll count." "Right then, Coop, what we got?" "We're here." "The front line is here." "AWAK reports enemy positions here, here and here, with sweeping patrols between each of these bunkers." "Have all the whole sector wrapped tighter than an Eskimo's nutsack." "With one exception right here." "A river crosses the line through a gorge 30 or 40 feet deep." "It's certain to have a patrol on it but if we go at night, tread careful and don't mind getting our feet wet," "I reckon we can make it through." "What the fuck is all this about then?" "More likely I'll need all the help I can get." "Hey, listen." "I know you think it was a piss pool cooled you." "Failing selection and all that, but I got to say I'm not sorry." "This squad would be a lot worse without you." "Something I had to do, you know." "For myself, get it out the system." "The only people going into trouble are Kamikazes." "Glory boys and full on fucking fatwits." "Take my advice, son." "Be patient." "Right then, ladies." "Pack up your troubles, put your brains in first gear and start tabbing." "Spoonie, you're on point." "Terry, Joe, tail in Charlie." "Over here, Cooper." "On me head." "Twater." "I can't believe I'm missing the footy for this party." "Joe, if you don't shut up, I swear to God I'm gonna shut you myself." "Now, move." "Didn't say a word, Sarge." "(Joe) Where the hell are we now?" "(Cooper) I heard a cracking story about this place." "You what?" "People disappear out here." "It happens all the time." "Come on, Cooper." "Give it some bollocks." "It's true." "Just last month a young couple were hiking through these woods." "They set up camp somewhere near here." "During the night, something happened." "A rescue team found the remains of the camp a couple of days later." "The tent was ripped to threads and there was blood everywhere." "The papers said it was a monster, like the beast of Bodmin Moor." "The locals claimed it was an escaped lunatic." "But no one's been caught, so nothing could be proved either way." "Every year, more and more people come through here." "Every once in a while they don't come back." "No trace, no bodies." "Just disappear and never seen again." "[All] Oh!" "[All whistle]" "Contact camp." "Tell them the flock is heading for the fold." "(Cooper) Then, Bruce, what scares you?" "The self-destructive nature of the human condition." "Just taking a piss now." "You think so?" "What about you, Spoon?" "Castration." "There's no argument there." "Joe?" "Only one thing that puts the shit at me." "A penalty shoot-out." "That figures." "Terry?" "Watching a penalty shoot-out... with Joe." "What about you, Coop?" "Spiders." "And women." "And, uh, spider women." "[All laugh]" "I want to know what scares the Sarge." "Piss of, man." "Nothing scares the Sarge." "(Sarge) I don't know about that." "The thought of never seeing my wife again scares the shit out of me." "That and those little things that make your skin crawl and the hairs stand up at the back of your neck." "You mean like Spoon?" "There's one thing actually in particular that I'll remember until the day I die." "It's back in '91, just before my unit was flying out to Kuwait to mop up the last pockets of resistance." "Me and this young fellow called Eddie Oswald decided to go and get a tattoo done to commemorate our first trip into the desert." "I remember Ed." "He was a stocky hard case with a broken nose and a bone eye, eh?" "Yeah, that's him." "Good-looking fellow." "Big hit with the ladies." "Anyway, me and Eddie, we had a few drinks." "We had a lot of drinks." "And we went down to the tattoo parlor, and I got a desert rat done." "And Eddie being Eddie wanted something a bit more meaning." "And being a bit of a believer, he said that his soul still belonged to God." "But his flesh was way beyond redemption." "It was up to Satan to save his skin." "So he got this fucking great laughing devil tattoo right on his ass." "[All laugh]" "Anyway, about six days later, we were making a regular sweep along the, uh, Iraqi border." "And, uh, Eddie, poor fucker, triggered an antitank mine." "Yeah." "We all saw it happen." "He was on point." "A white, blinding lightning flash and a fucking deafening crack." "By the time we picked ourselves up of the deck," "Eddie was..." "He was gone." "Just bits and pieces of him." "It's all that remained." "This big fucking red circle a hundred meters." "I'll tell you something, lads." "It really puts things in perspective when you have to scoop your mate up with a shovel and stick him in a bin bag." "Anyway, the thing that really did our nuts in that day was when you, uh, came across the bit you recognized." "A bit of an ear, a toe, a nose, a tooth." "The thing that really freaked us out that day was when left-hand Charlie found a bit of Eddie with the tattoo on." "I mean, everything else was burned to a crisp covered in claret." "All mushed up, pocked up." "Not this bit." "This bit was perfect." "And there's old Nick chalking his fucking ass all over us." "So you could say that Eddie was right." "That Satan did indeed save his skin, just not all of it." "Or you could say that Eddie was just unlucky." "Either way." "It taught me to keep a very open mind." "Boom, boom." "Anyway." "Eddie Oswald." "To Eddie." "So, this bloke walks into a pub with a dog under his arm." "Puts his arm on the bar, goes and sits down." "The bartender is looking and thinking, "What is going on here?"" "He looks back at the dog and the dog turns on..." "Fucking cow!" "Ceasefire, Terry." "Ceasefire." "Terry, what the hell are you doing?" "You're firing blanks, man." "Is everyone all right?" "Is everyone okay?" "No." "I think I've shit meself." "Is it dead?" "Oh, yeah, it's dead." "Look at the state of it." "Look at the state of Terry." "[Men laugh]" "These aren't entry wounds." "More like teeth marks." "What are you saying, Cooper?" "What he's saying, Terry, is that it died of natural causes." "Don't you think we should call this in, Sarge?" "Aye." "Go on the radio, Bruce." "There's no way I'm about to break radio silence 'cause you lot got spooked by a dead flying fucking cow." "We have this position." "We keep it secure 'til the morning." "Then we reassess the situation." "Right." "I want a watch posted." "Two on." "Four off." "Brucie, Spoon." "You're up first." "Cooper an I relieve at 0100 hours." "I n the meantime, Terry, sort your kit out." "The rest of you get your edge done." "Unbelievable." "[Heartbeat]" "[Heartbeat]" "[Heartbeat]" "[Bird sings]" "[Heartbeat]" "[Fast heartbeats and panting]" "[Growl]" "(Joe) Sarge?" "Cow came in from this direction, straight off the edge." "From the frying pan into the fire." "Bleeding to death, it could've wandered around for miles before it got here." "It's good of it to leave some breadcrumbs for us to follow." "Looking for trouble?" "No, Cooper." "Just looking." "Sarge, shouldn't we report this when we get back?" "You're right, Terry, but in the meantime I'm curious, and it's on the way." "Come on, lads." "Natural causes my ass." "[Gunshot]" "Oh, now what?" "(Sarge) Christ." "What the fucking hell happened here, Sarge?" "This is getting all bone by the minute." "Jesus Christ, Sarge." "All right, lads." "Get a grip." "We've got casualties." "Ditch your bargains." "Salvage whatever weapons you can find, and stand to." "We are now up against live, hostile targets." "If Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude," "I'd expect you to chin the bitch." "Looks like they got hit hard." "Every magazine is full." "Nobody got up a single round." "If they're lost, then where are the bodies?" "Yeah." "All right, Corporal." "Get on the net." "Call in." "I want an emergency air lift immediately." "[Shouts]" "Help me." "Captain?" "Ryan?" "What happened here?" "(Sarge) Do not tell me you know him." "Captain Ryan, Special Ops." "No fucking dog lover." "Spearhead patrol." "This is spearhead patrol." "Receiving?" "He looks like he took on Jack the Ripper and came last." "I can patch him up, but he needs a medic right now." "This is an emergency." "Code 64." "You gotta get me out of here." "Do you understand?" "There was only supposed to be one." "We're working on it, Captain." "Sarge." "Not now, Spoon." "You're receiving?" "[Groans]" "Shit." "What's wrong, Bruce?" "I can't find a signal." "Did you check it?" "Of course, and I double checked it and it worked fine!" "All right, Bruce, stay on it." "See what you can do." "Terry?" "They must've had their own comms kit." "Have a look round." "See if you can find it." "Go." "Sarge." "Spoon, have a shift on the camp." "See if you can find anything else." "Not now, Spoon." "This is spearhead patrol, are you receiving me?" "There was only supposed to be one." "Jesus!" "Charnel House is compromised to fuck!" "How is he doing here?" "All I know is he's special forces." "If this is part of our exercise, it's been not advertised." "No cap badge, no insignia." "Just tags." "Some kind of a covert action?" "Covert action or not, they're packing all kinds of weird shit." "Tranquilizer darts, nets, you name it." "It's a special ops mission, not a fucking safari." "(Terry) Sarge?" "We found that radio." "Shit, I don't believe it." "There was only supposed to be one!" "What's he on about?" "Terry, get back on stag now." "You got to get me out of here before they come back." "Who, Captain?" "Who is going to come back?" "They tore them to pieces in front of my eyes." "If we don't get him somewhere warm soon, he's gonna die of hypothermia." "Stay with me, Captain." "Captain Ryan, stay with me." "Sarge." "Not now, Spoon." "I n about half an hour it's gonna be dark." "Does anybody copy?" "Any joy?" "The fuses are blown." "Can you fix it?" "Maybe it was faulty or maybe some damp got in the casing, but it's fried the circuits." "Well, if it's useless, bin it." "I also found this." "It's attached inside." "Not part of the radio." "Looks like a transmitter." "Why would they put a bug in our radio?" "It's the Kobayashi Maru test." "They fixed it so we can't fucking win." "Ban it, Spoon." "Terry, it's probably some joke." "He didn't want Joe to hear the footy results." "An early shot." "Anything useful?" "Weapons, ammunition." "A couple of magnesium flares." "That's about it." "All right, lads." "Ditch your its." "From here on in the exercise is well and truly over." "Anyone not carrying life rounds, better do." "Bruce." "It won't make any difference." "They won't die." "This gives me a better peace of mind, sir." "You want peace of mind?" "Run for your lives before they tear your legs." "You just shut up like a good gentleman." "You are scaring my lads." "[Growling]" "Oh, shit." "All right, lads, grab what you can." "Head to the tree line." "We're moving." "Let's go." "Right." "I need a volunteer for rear guard action." "(Bruce) I'll do it." "When we clear, you fall back." "We're gonna be there to cover you." "Off you go." "Bruce, no heroics." "Spoonie, you're on point." "Joe, help Ryan." "Terry, you're up next." "Coop, you and me." "All right, lads, in front the long grass." "Double time." "Go!" "Come on, sunshine, fucking shift it." "[Howling]" "Come on!" "[Growling]" "[Growl]" "[Growl]" "Bruce." "Bruce!" "[Grunting]" "Jesus!" "Cooper, get out of here!" "Jesus, I'm bit, mate." "You said no heroics, you bloody hypocrite." "Where's Bruce?" "He's all over there." "They fucking tore him apart." "You piss off." "That is an order!" "They're coming!" "[Whining]" "Fuck off." "You can take your orders and shovel them up your ass." "Oh, Jesus, my guts are out." "We'll just put them back in again." "[Shouts] They're not gonna fucking fit!" "Of course they'll fit, man." "Here." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Come out of the fog." "[Groans] God." "[Growling]" "(Terry) To your rear!" "A target!" "Target." "Keep moving." "Covering fire." "Backing guard." "Covering fire." "Coming through!" "Target." "Reload!" "Bloody hell!" "Just fucking lie down!" "Lads." "On me." "On me!" "Stop!" "Get in." "Everybody on me!" "(woman) Hurry." "Fire!" "[Shooting]" "Oh, shit!" "[Thumping]" "Just drive." "Now!" "They're fucking coming!" "Come on, stab it!" "Go reverse." "Stab it!" "[Shouts]" "Go forward." "Fuck!" "Everything okay back there?" "Any more casualties?" "Spoon?" "No, I'm all right." "What about Bruce?" "Where's Bruce?" "Bruce is, Bruce is gone." "He's gone." "Fuck it!" "Just hang on back there." "Thank you." "It's okay." "What happened?" "What happened?" "We were attacked by huge fucking howling things." "That's what." "You were lucky I found you." "I was about to give up hope." "And you were here?" "I heard gunfire last night." "I knew someone was out there." "If you weren't already in trouble, then you soon would be." "We are." "Two men are down." "Both need medical attention." "We need to dress the Sergeant's wounds before we can take him too far." "There's only one farm in this glen." "The owners are friends." "We can take him in there." "(woman) Hello?" "Nobody home?" "I don't know where they could be." "Nice." "Stand back." "Little pigs." "Little pigs." "We've come to nick your video." "Hey." "Sit." "Hey." "Sit, sit." "You stay." "Hm?" "All clear." "What the fuck happened back there, Cooper?" "I don't know, mate." "She might have some answers." "All clear upstairs." "Where the hell are we now?" "Home sweet home." "(Cooper) Sit him down." "Spoon, get a field dressing on that wound." "Terry, keep an eye out front." "Is there a telephone here?" "What?" "No." "It's still hot, lads." "You can't just help yourself!" "I'm chinstrapped and I'm bloody starving." "I can't help meself." "It's the training, miss." "Never waits an opportunity to eat." "Come on." "[Groans]" "Now look what I'm doing." "Get it down your necks, lads." "[Sergeant groans]" "Hold it, hold it." "Top grub." "What is it?" "Don't know, mate." "Looks like pork." "Leave some for us, you greedy mongrels." "Miss, where is the nearest phone?" "Fifty miles as a crow flies." "What about the nearest population center?" "You mean a town?" "Well, Fort William, but it's at least a four-hour drive back the way we just came." "Do you think your wounded can make it?" "The Sarge is in serious trouble if we don't." "You seem to know these roads." "Will you take us?" "Right now?" "Unless your friends are just gone." "This place may be compromised." "Fine." "The sooner the better." "Let's go." "All right." "Spoon, on me." "Everyone else hang by until we bring the car about." "Joe, help the Sarge." "Terry, watch him." "The safeties off." "[Low growl]" "Spoon." "Don't stare back." "I can't help it." "Go." "[Growling]" "(Cooper) Move on!" "That puts a kibosh on that plan." "That was my car!" "[Mixed voices]" "Sam, no!" "Oh." "Piss off." "[Shouts]" "Fuck that!" "Step back!" "Bloody hell!" "Get the dog off me." "No." "Pull the dog off me." "Sam." "Shut the dog up!" "Sam, come here." "Terry, right flank." "Cover the window." "Christ." "That's bloody charming, that is." "You incompetent moron!" "Do you wanna have a fucking go like?" "Bathroom?" "Upstairs." "Far end of passage." "We need to talk, Ryan." "It doesn't look like I'm going anywhere." "Joe, Spoon." "Looks like we're staying." "You know what to do." "I want a secure perimeter with a clear field of fire." "We'll give them something inviting, right?" "I'm on it." "Terry, are you okay?" "I'm real craving for a kebab." "I'll take that as a yes." "We've got limited ammunition." "I want you to get as many pots and pan as you can." "Fill them with water and keep them on the boil, all right?" "Terry, set the kettle on." "We'll all do with a brew." "[Hammering]" "Terry, give us a hand with this." "[Puffs]" "To the side." "You fool." "You came here because of them, right?" "I don't have a clue what they are, and right now I don't really care." "What are you doing here?" "This was supposed to be a routine training exercise, and that's all." "So this wasn't a rescue mission?" "No, I guess not." "Back door is secure." "What's happening here, Spoon?" "They're still moving around out there." "They're keeping their distance." "Maybe they've had enough for one night." "Not likely." "They're smart." "You've seen what they can do." "My guess is they're doing exactly what you'd be doing in their shoes." "Working as a team." "Looking for a weakness." "A way in." "I'm not about to second-guess these things." "They're the enemy." "As simple as that." "This is no ordinary enemy." "You know what this reminds me of?" "Rorke's Drift." "A hundred men of Harlech making a desperate stand against ten thousand Zulu warriors." "Outnumbered, surrounded." "Staring death in the face." "No flinching for a moment." "Balls of British steel." "You're bloody loving this, aren't you?" "It's totally bone." "That's all there is to say." "What are we talking about here?" "Wolves?" "Not entirely wolf, nor human, but something in between." "Wolf men?" "And a laugh, right?" "I may be nuts but I'm no fruitcake." "Fine." "Stay here and drink tea." "I thought you might be here because of them." "But I guess not." "Just don't be an asshole." "I like your new girlfriend, Coop." "How're you feeling?" "A touch of gas." "And the fact the various body parts are trying to evacuate the premises." "Fucking awful." "Ta." "Cheers." "Attention!" "For crying out loud, man." "Short, controlled bursts." "Do you have a name, soldier?" "Cooper." "Gonna need your help here, miss." "My name is Megan." "And I know how to kill... [groans]" "Shit, Sarge, you're leaking like a sieve." "I need you to get some Superglue and some whiskey." "(Megan) I'll see what I can do." "Come on." "I'm sorry about the asshole thing." "I've got a mean streak of mine across." "It's all right." "It's the least of my worries right now." "(Sarge) Can you pass me my gun, please?" "Thank you." "Come on, Coop." "Up the wooden hill." "Where are we going, Coop?" "You don't want to know, mate." "[Heartbeat]" "[Grunting]" "What's the glue for?" "Never wondered why the best thing that Superglue sticks together is your fingers?" "Give it." "Give it." "Forget your grandma's China cups." "This stuff was developed for the Vietnam war to patch up broken soldiers." "How are you feeling, Sarge?" "Absolutely fucking top, fucking bollocks." "Give us." "Give, give, give." "Are you sure he should be taking painkillers with whiskey?" "He's earned it." "Is it your birthday, Coop?" "No, mate." "Is it my birthday?" "Hey!" "No." "You're gonna thank us for this in the morning." "I'll tell you something." "I'm gonna fucking thank you." "Right now I'm gonna thank you because you saved my life." "You got me out of there." "You would've done the same." "If I'd done the same fucking thing, I would've saved Bruce, wouldn't I?" "Yeah!" "Fuck!" "[Sarge groans]" "[Sarge shouts]" "Fuck." "[Shouts]" "Jesus!" "[Pants]" "Sausages." "I'll tell you something, miss." "This guy here is my best mate." "He's the salt of the fucking Earth." "Don't get me wrong." "The rest of the guys in the squad are lovely fellows." "Anyone of them could marry my... marry my sister if I had one." "[Shouts]" "I'll tell you what." "I love him I love you." "Like the mate that I, that I love." "Would you like to be alone?" "[Groans]" "You fucker!" "Here." "It's the adrenaline." "I'll stick and you bond." "I'll tell you something." "Something better get fucking stuck 'cause this is really starting to hurt." "Cooper." "Knock me out." "Hit me!" "You fucking pussy." "Hit me!" "How long have you lived around here?" "Two years." "Came here for the wildlife." "I'm a zoologist." "So you've heard those stories as well then." "Yeah." "I heard the stories." "I went looking." "I found evidence." "I was fascinated by the possibility..." "You can't seriously believe in werewolves." "Straight out of college, I'd have loved to the suggestion, but now" "I know they are as real as you and me." "Before tonight is over, you will, too." "There." "I think that'll hold." "You've done this before?" "Oh, yeah." "We glue people's guts together all the time out here." "Everyone tooled up?" "To the nines." "Keep a fucking eye over that one." "Right, Terry, you look sharp." "The rest of you." "We know things are going from shit to bone to worse in the last 24 hours." "But if we pull our way and do the job, we still have a fighting chance." "No more running." "We stand here." "We fight." "Right?" "Any questions?" "Just one, Coop." "Exactly, what is it we're fighting against?" "Megan, you wanna run it pass the boys?" "Lycanthropes." "That's werewolves to you and me." "Are you taking a piss?" "Makes perfect sense to me." "Full moons, silver bullets and eyebrows that join in the middle?" "Before you dismiss it off hand, think about what you've seen and heard." "The full moon, the teeth, the claws, the howling." "Is it so difficult to believe?" "For a whole year now I've tracked these things." "I've studied them." "Try to understand them." "Every month when the moon is full, they hunt as a team dedicated to the kill." "During that time at least 15 people have vanished." "Hikers mostly, in small groups or alone." "They're caught out in the open, hunted down, torn apart, and devoured." "I've never witnessed the actual slaughter, but the next day no bodies, no werewolves." "Just blood." "The eyebrows thing is nonsense." "It's just Dark Age paranoia." "And silver bullets, no one's ever got close enough to try." "I'm sold." "Slow down, Spoon." "Megan might have a point." "I'm still not convinced that these things didn't escape from the local nuthouse and forget to shave or trim their nails." "But they're out there and we're in here." "What they may or may not be does not affect our immediate situation one bit." "This is bone." "This is so fucking bone!" "Anything else?" "Yeah." "What does "bone" mean?" "Bone." "Bollocks." "Not very good." "Right." "Anything else I should know?" "Call signs." "You need to be specific." "Upstairs you've got Sergeant Wells, who you seem to know inside and out." "You got Spoon over there." "The vomiting cavalier, Terry." "The big guy with the ax is Joe." "Didn't you forget someone?" "Ryan." "Captain Ryan is not one of our team." "His being here is hazy at best." "If I could tell you, I would." "But I'm just a soldier like you." "No stripes." "No insignia." "A suit and a uniform does not make a soldier." "He's with Special Ops." "His team were wiped out last night." "He was the only survivor." "I'd advise you against pursuing the line of questioning, Private Cooper." "You're pulling rank on me now, Captain." "You can shove that right up your arse." "I'm saying my being here is a moot point since I'm now in as much shit as you are." "We're on the same fucking shit." "And we need each other." "I doubt I need you." "You bloody did two hours ago." "(Megan) The Uaths." "Crying like a baby you were." "That was then." "Circumstances change." "What?" "Uath is Celtic." "The family's lived in this glen for centuries." "So, what was he doing out there?" "I have an idea." "I wanna hear it from the horse's mouth." "Think of it Ryan." "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine." "When we found you, you could barely open your eyes, let alone walk." "And then later you manage to run." "And now look at you." "Fine and fit and sitting pretty." "Hardly the behavior of a man who until recently was knocking on death's door." "I have a strong constitution." "You bloody kidding." "You won't mind if I have a look at that wound of yours." "I just assumed you didn't." "I have a responsibility to my patient." "I'm warning you, Cooper, don't touch me." "Get back!" "Tie him up." "I want him to talk." "What are you gonna do?" "Torture him?" "I don't know." "What would you do?" "I'd torture him." "(Cooper) What now?" "They shut down the generator." "Why would they do that?" "Because they can see in the dark." "And you're all afraid of it." "This is a pile of rancid shit!" "Now what do you believe?" "I'm beginning to believe you." "I think Joe might've worded it better." "They're on the move." "All right." "This is it." "Mark your targets and preserve your ammo." "Three-round busts." "We only got one stun grenade apiece." "So only use them if absolutely necessary." "Stand to." "What can I do?" "What do you want to do?" "Run and hide." "I know what's coming." "Take care of Sam." "Keep an eye on Ryan." "If he tries anything, pan him." "Chasing that first kiss, are we, Cooper?" "It's as simple as this." "You're not there for us, we're not here for you." "[Grunting]" "[Door banging]" "[Grunting]" "Contact!" "[Growling]" "Die!" "[Grunting]" "[Snarling]" "Spoon, get down." "[Whimpering]" "[Grunting]" "Fuck!" "Fire in the hole!" "Ah!" "[Snarling]" "[Growling]" "Cooper!" "Hurry!" "[Beast whimpers]" "Cheers, mate." "The Sarge." "[Shouts]" "[Grunting]" "Cooper." "Sarge?" "Sarge!" "Sarge?" "Sarge, wake up." "Wake up, you fuck." "Sarge!" "You fucker." "Wake up." "Sarge!" "Fuck off!" "[Grunting]" "[Growling]" "Dogs." "More like pussies." "[Snarling]" "[Shouts]" "You all right?" "Oh, yeah, yeah." "I'm peachy, mate." "Coop." "The squad's yours, mate." "They took Terry." "Then we go and get him back." "You're right." "(Ryan) Forget about him." "What did you say?" "He's dead, Cooper, and you know it." "Shit!" "Somebody must've heard some gunfire." "Somebody must've heard something." "Who?" "The only other house within 50 miles of here is mine, and I'm not there." "What about the road, passers by?" "Do you have any idea what kind of luck you had running into me tonight?" "I thought you ran into us." "Joe, check upstairs." "Even if anyone did come by, they'd only end up with a slaughter like you." "Our really hope is daylight." "Sunrise is in six hours." "We did the best we could." "But if the Sarge's condition deteriorates, he'll have less than four." "And the only thing holding them back, is they don't know how much ammunition we have left." "[Howling]" "Let's give it a look." "Tell me, honestly, what are our chances?" "The morale seems good, considering." "It'll only last as long as the ammunition holds it." "High spirits it's no substitute for 800 rounds a minute, but I don't think that's what you want to hear." "Think about it, Cooper." "Up until today you believed there was a line between myth and reality." "A very fine line sometimes, but at least it was a line." "Those things out there are real." "If they're real, what else is real?" "You know what lives in the shadows now." "You may never get another night sleep as long as you live." "So why worry, Cooper?" "You may not live that long." "Shut your mouth." "I'm gonna make it through this." "You know why?" "I don't scare that easy." "Here." "It's supposed to be lucky." "For me or the rest of the rabbit?" "You'll need a lot more than luck this time." "Shut up, Ryan." "Listen to me, Cooper." "Ignore him." "We can survive 'til sunrise." "That's all that matters." "It's just a few more hours." "Wait a minute." "Am I missing something here?" "I know him." "I was seconded to his team during their first visit here." "First visit?" "What first visit?" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "They came to check out the stories." "They needed an expert." "It's just a few more hours, Cooper." "That's all there is." "All clear?" "Yeah." "You wanna kill them all?" "Yes." "Good." "Keep it up." "What's the damage, Spoon?" "We might've pissed on our chips." "We've only got two full mags for the MP5, six rounds for the shotgun, and one spare." "Just in case." "Stay sharp, everyone." "(Spoon) We're putting fire down all over." "We fill those things with lead, and they just kept coming back at us." "Sixty rounds won't last two minutes." "So, either we all fight our way clear, or the rest of us keep them occupied but one of us goes for help." "By the time the cavalry get here, they'll have what's left of us between their teeth." "Fucking brilliant." "We either stay and snuff it, or we all go." "And snuff it." "Decisions, decisions." "Laugh." "I nearly died." "Who stopped you?" "That's it!" "We'll fucking have him!" "Take it easy, big man." "Calm down." "Do any of you know how to hot-wire a car?" "They keep an old Land Rover in the barn." "I don't know where the keys are, but if one of you could break in and start it." "I can do that." "Are you sure?" "A piece of piss." "The further I am from this wanker, the happier I'll be." "All right." "You're gonna need a decoy." "Something fast and loud." "What?" "You what?" "You, sit." "Stay." "You're serious about this werewolf thing, aren't you?" "Afraid so." "Shit." "Don't suppose you know who won the match." "Didn't even know there was a game on." "It's not a game." "(Cooper) All right, this is it." "Everyone get ready." "Bollocks." "Joe." "Good luck, man." "You don't get off the hook that easy." "[Grunting]" "All right, you bastards." "Come on and have a go if you think you're naughty enough." "[Grunts]" "Come on, you beauties!" "They took the bait." "Come on!" "Spoon, run!" "[Snarling]" "Move your fucking arse, soldier." "Come on." "I'm trying." "I love it when a posh bear talks dirty." "Jesus!" "What's fucking going on, Cooper?" "[Mixed screams]" "[Yelling]" "Cut it." "[Grunting]" "[Shouting]" "[Growling]" "Fuck this." "Shit." "[Grunting]" "He's done it." "Ryan, up." "Everyone else downstairs." "Come on, move it." "Move." "Move." "You're behind me, aren't you?" "I'm gonna fucking have you!" "[Shouting]" "Right?" "Go." "Go." "[Low grunt]" "[Snarling]" "[Howling]" "[Playing Debussy]" "[Distant howling]" "Well?" "She's in a bad way." "A few pumps gone." "Fan belt is bugging." "She's pissing out petrol." "The word "bone" springs to mind." "Joe's body?" "It's gone." "What's the damage, Spoon?" "We're down to 48 rounds." "Check the right." "(Cooper) Well, Ryan, you heard the score." "Maybe one or two of us are gonna make it through this." "I don't care much for our chances." "Do you like football?" "What?" "They think it's all over and all that crap?" "No, I don't." "Don't you remember Joe?" "He liked football." "Fucking lived for it." "Is this relevant?" "He missed the most important match of his life for this bullshit exercise." "And now he's dead along with two other mates." "I'd give them my right arm." "To fucking right it's relevant!" "You just can't get pass the dog, can you?" "We're losing, Ryan." "We're three now down, and we're close to the final whistle." "At the very least I wanna even score." "I understand your resentment." "But you failed because you weren't prepared to take that extra step." "If you'd passed, you would've been on my team." "And if you were on my team, you'd be dead." "Yeah, I failed." "I'm bloody glad of it." "If I was given the choice of taking orders from a twat like you and slogging it out at these guys, I'll take the underdogs anytime." "So you can take your precious selection, shove it up your arse and stop trying to change the fucking subject!" "Fair enough." "But you won't like what I have to tell you." "There are some places you really shouldn't go." "We'll be the judge of that, Ryan." "Ever heard of Special Weapons Division?" "They're the men in white coats who train dolphins to stick mines on submarines." "And cute furry animals to tear your head off at the neck." "They saw an opportunity and called me in." "To do what?" "Catch one of these things?" "And to bring it back." "Alive if possible." "Only "it" turned out to be "them."" "We underestimated the enemy numbers." "Underestimated?" "I would have a serious word with your heads about their intelligence." "It may have been their invitation, but it was my party." "I planned it and executed it." "And you loused it up." "We lost good men, Ryan." "Yours and mine." "I wanna know" "where we fit in." "The reality is you're expendable." "And I had approval to put you at risk." "Get to the fucking point, Ryan." "I made a gap in enemy lines." "You were good enough to spot it and predictable enough to go for it." "That was your bait." "You were mine." "You bastard." "I had to choose somebody." "I remembered you." "Monkey see, monkey do." "They were my men!" "Get up, you shit." "You know what we can do." "Give us a fighting chance." "Live and learn, Cooper." "I didn't hit him hard." "You tricked something loose." "[Shouts]" "[Groans]" "Bad dog." "Fetch." "(Sarge) Make the shot." "Clear." "Cooper, get down." "I got target." "Werewolves spend most of their time in human form, right?" "And the only people from miles around live right here." "So these things aren't about to give up the fight and go home." "They are home." "That makes perfect sense, don't it?" "We bust into their house." "We eat all their porridge." "We sleep in their beds." "No wonder they're pissed off." "But they're good people." "They're kind people." "More is the pity." "Why?" "We're gonna have to kill them all." "He's right." "What self-respecting werewolf would have anything silver in a house anyway?" "Fuck the folklore." "Let's just burn them." "If we knew where to find them." "Maybe we do." "Everything we've seen so far suggests the behavior of a pack." "Six to eight members." "An Alpha pair leading the subordinates, and a young male, the Beta wolf, second in command." "Makes sense." "You lost me." "A wolf pack sticks together, generally somewhere close to its food supply." "Somewhere safe, sheltered, and warm." "You're gonna have to move like shit off the shovel on this one." "You wanna get your own shit." "When we blow that fuse up, that place is gonna look like Zabriskie Point." "Yeah, it's easy peesy." "My lime's squeezy." "Listen, Coop." "What about the Sarge?" "What about the Sarge?" "You know what I mean." "The Sarge is with us." "Yeah, yeah." "I just didn't want him to go out without his watch back." "And you stay out of trouble." "(Cooper) You all right?" "Oh, yeah, I am fine, Cooper." "I mean, I feel absolutely fantastic." "That's a problem, isn't it?" "Hey?" "What if she's wrong?" "What if they're not all in there?" "Then we'll get some of them." "It's a shit lot better than none of them, and a marked improvement on all of us." "No, you listen to me." "You get the fuck out now." "I'll hold them back, keep them occupied." "You get out." "We've lost enough men for one night, don't you think?" "Let me show you something." "Do not tell me that that is fucking normal." "What happened to Ryan is happening to me." "It's just a matter of time, mate." "Stop wasting time with this hara-kiri crap." "This fight isn't lost, yet." "With Ryan it only took a couple of hours." "It's full moon." "Maybe it's like when you need to take a piss or something." "I don't know." "When you gotta go, you gotta fucking go." "Maybe it's more than needing a shite." "Just 'cause you need one, it doesn't mean you drop your kegs and pinch one off." "Fucking Ryan, shifty bastard could've been one of those things from the start." "You know, Coop, there's one more thing you gotta learn about command, mate." "Sometimes the people that you kill, are your own men." "So, I'm asking you." "Let me take care of myself." "And at least spare you the unfortunate business of trying to expla... explain to Annie why you had to incinerate me." "We're gonna knock seven colors of shit out of these fuckers." "We need you." "It's all right, you know, mate." "It's okay." "I just didn't make it out this time." "That's all." "Because of the job, you know what I mean?" "When I signed my life away on that doted line, I fucking meant it." "I am a professional soldier." "So, what do you want me to do?" "Roast their bollocks off." "All clear." "Good luck." "Light it!" "Shit." "Sarge." "[No audio]" "I'm sorry." "When I found you out there tonight," "I truly believed you were the best chance I had of getting out." "But now we have no chance." "There is no out." "There never was." "I came here to be one with nature." "Well, I got what I wanted." "Now I have to live with it." "There is no house in the next glen." "No." "And there were no werewolves in the barn when it blew." "Not one." "The reason you're not in the photograph is 'cause you took it." "I never meant to..." "You women." "Same old shite." "Being nice to women will get you nowhere, Cooper." "Being nice to me will get you killed." "You may think they're all bitches, but" "I'm the real thing." "[Groans]" "Do you think I like being part of this fucked up family?" "Do you think I chose to run with the pack?" "No." "I chose you." "But now you're out of luck, and I'm out of time." "And all we can do is let nature take its course." "They were always here." "I just unlocked the door." "It's that time of the month." "Somebody has to put it out of his misery." "Spoon." "Clear." "(Spoon) Go now!" "Spoonie, stop fucking." "It's an order!" "[Growling]" "[Growling]" "Come on!" "[Growling]" "Sarge?" "Sarge?" "I'm in the closet." "Open the closet." "[Grunting]" "(Spoon) Come on!" "[Grunting]" "[Shouts] You fucking mother!" "[Shouts]" "You're not killing me, you bastard." "How do you like the tomatoes, you fucking bastard?" "[Shouts]" "Come on." "I'm running out, Coop." "I'm running out." "You're a fucking bastard." "Come on!" "Come on!" "[Yells]" "I hope I give you the shits, you fucking wimp." "[Grunting]" "You fucker." "Come on, Coop." "[Shouting]" "Beat it!" "Here." "Go away." "Go on, Coop!" "Get stuck in mate!" "Get out of it!" "Come on, you fucker!" "(Coop) Go away, you fucking ass." "Come on!" "[Grunting]" "[Grunting]" "Cooper, let's get in the wardrobe, son." "What?" "Let's get in the wardrobe." "All right." "What's that smell?" "[Whispers] I don't know." "Fucking hell." "Give me that." "[Growl]" "Open your mouth." "Watch the ears." "Mind your toes." "Go." "[Sam whimpers]" "Where's Spoon?" "There is no Spoon." "No, you fucking bastards!" "Help me, Cooper." "Get in there." "Get in there!" "What are you doing?" "Take this." "There's one in the chamber." "I'm fucking bent." "We go together or we don't fucking go." "It's my last order." "Do not fuck about." "Do not disobey me." "Fuck!" "Listen." "You have got to make it alive." "Prove what happened." "Not just for me or my lads." "For her!" "[Groans]" "Here." "Prove it happened, mate." "Go!" "Go!" "[Shouts]" "[Groans]" "[Groans]" "[Grunts]" "Sam." "Fuck." "What the fuck?" "[Grunting]" "Ryan, have you tried licking your own balls, yet?" "[Grunting]" "I forgot." "You don't fucking have any." "[Grunting]" "Ha!" "[Groans]" "[Sam barks]" "[Screeches]" "You think it's all over?" "It is now."

"Previously On 24" "I want Bauer arrested." "Bauer is heading the field operation." "Jack Bauer is not the only man who can do the job!" "Put someone else in charge!" "Jack, we've got a problem." "Secret service is on their way over there now to arrest you." "Bill, they can't interrupt this mission." "You got to stall 'em." "There's nothing I can do from here." "You have to get Marean before secret service gets there." "People of america, you wake up today to a different world." "I have a visual on Marean." "He is in the building." "Damn it." "They know we're here." "Everybody move on the doors." "Our cover's blown!" "Everyone go, go, go, go, go!" "President Logan realized this was a mistake." "You're free to go." "We had Marean." "Damn it!" "We had him!" "This man Marean has a nuclear warhead, and I allowed him to escape." "Mr. President..." "Stop!" "I don't even know if I deserve to be called that." "There's someone who can advise you better than I can." "I'm not sure what you're asking me to do." "President Logan is requesting you run the effort to recover the stolen weapon and be in place to make whatever decisions need to be made." "Is it compatible?" "I'll need to reconfigure the trigger mechanism." "Has the warhead been reconfigured?" "Yes, we, uh... may have a potential security breach here." "Who?" "The technician, sabir." "His girlfriend's getting suspicious." "I think sabir may have become involved with radical groups." "You mean terrorists?" "Yes." "The woman with the phone tip who was suspicious about her boyfriend panned out." "She sent us a schematic of a microchip that was used exclusively in the legacy nuclear warhead." "Take a team with you." "Let's get on this." "what was that?" "he's going to ram us!" "The following takes place between 2:00 A.M. and 3:00 A.M." "It's good to have you back, Mr. President." "Thank you, aaron." "This way, sir." "President Logan's not working out of the west wing?" "No, sir." "Since the strike on air force one, he's been in the bunker." "How's your son?" "Very well, sir." "Thank you for asking." "Still in the service?" "Yes." "In fact, he, uh, just re-upped." "Good for him." "We're mighty proud." "Mr. President, thank you for coming." "Mike." "Is there an update on president Keeler's condition?" "No, he's still comatose." "And the long - term prognosis is still unclear?" "Yes." "How's president Logan?" "Looking forward to seeing you." "Thank you, aaron." "President Logan." "David." "I appreciate you coming so quickly." "Tell me how I can help you." "David..." "I wasn't prepared to have all of this thrust upon me so suddenly." "What I'm trying to say is I-I made mistakes." "This crisis could've ended an hour ago if I hadn't interfered with a CTU operation that would've..." "would've captured Habib Marean." "Punishing yourself for a mistake is something you can't afford right now." "What I can't afford and what this country can't afford is another mistake." "Every decision I make affects the lives of millions of americans." "I understand the pressure you're under." "I know you do." "When you were in office, you dealt with this kind of situation more than once." "That's why i want you here." "I still don't understand what it is I can do to help you." "Sit." "The warhead that was stolen is an s-series." "That's one of the most powerful nuclear weapons in the arsenal." "Wherever it's detonated, it will wreak... unthinkable devastation." "Help me find it." "I will give you full authority to act as my proxy whenever you think it's necessary." "Charles, how do you want this to work?" "I'll call Bill Buchanan at CTU, and I'll let him know that... he'll be dealing directly with you." "All right." "Thank you, david." "Mike'll fill you in." "We will get through this, Mr. President." "Um, I'll be, uh, in conference room b working on the morning statement for the press." "I'll keep you apprised of any developments, sir." "Thank you, mike." "Mr. President..." "I know you believe my actions during your term in office amounted to a personal and political betrayal... it's not something I believe." "It's a fact." "Get to your point." "If my presence here makes it more difficult for you, say the word, and I'll leave." "Mike... you're wired into this administration, and I have no doubt that you have this country's best interests at heart, so for now, let's let bygones be bygones and get to work." "Thank you, Mr. President." "I appreciate that." "I reviewed the briefing materials on the way here." "Have army reserve supplement the search teams looking for the warhead in iowa and have D.O.E. And D.O.D. Coordinating on crisis response in case it's detonated." "Yes, sir." "CTU is heading up the search for this man who stole the warhead, Habib Marean?" "Yes." "They recovered a damaged videotape from Marean's last known location." "They're in the process of restoring it." "But Marean is not CTU's only lead on the warhead now." "What else do we have?" "A CTU analyst named Chloe o'brian secured a hard drive belonging to one of Marean's associates." "This hard drive may contain information that could lead us to the warhead." "I told you I'm not hurt." "I did the shooting." "Now please leave me alone so I can do this." "Okay." "The hard drive is unlocked." "Chloe, the hard drive belonged to someone who had no previous experience with nuclear weapons." "He had to get that information from someone." "The emails I'm decrypting look like exactly that:" "Weapons schematics, designs of nuclear triggers-- all from the same person." "Who?" "The e-mail address itself is shielded under a false domain name." "What is it?" "Mem4xp." "Okay." "Chloe, I want you to forward all the emails to us." "Edgar?" "I'll run a trace to find the point of origin." "These emails came from a domestic server." "Whoever sent this is in this country." "Okay, Chloe, thank you." "Hold on." "Hey." "How you holding up?" "I'm not used to the idea that I just killed someone, if that's what you're asking, but I'm doing my job." "Fair enough." "Get back as soon as you can, okay?" "Okay." "I got a hit." "The man who sent the emails name is lee jong." "Is he in our database?" "He's a chinese national:" "A research scientist who worked on china's nuclear weapon's program." "He was accused of falsifying research data and fired by their government in 2001." "Is it possible china's providing Marean with support for this attack?" "No, the chinese wouldn't use someone that could be traced back to them so easily." "He's selling his services as a freelance operator." "If lee's helping Marean reconfigure or redeploy the warhead, most likely he'll know how to find it." "Check with the I.N.S.," "See if lee's entered the country in the last week." "Excuse me." "This is Bauer." "Jack, dr." "Besson." "You wanted me to give you an update on Paul Raines." "He's still in recovery, but you can see him now." "Just limit your visit to a few minutes." "Thank you, doctor." "Get back to me if you find anything." "Where can I find you?" "I'll be in medical." "Okay." "Yeah, I understand." "Hey." "Dr. Besson wants to move you to amherst general's spinal program, but the faa still has a ban on air travel." "I am trying to get you an exemption." "Well, if anyone can get an exemption... you can." "Listen..." "I've thought a lot about this, and..." "I want to go with you to massachusetts." ""With me"?" "Yeah." "You need to get better, and you shouldn't have to do that alone." "No, I can take care of myself." "I don't need your charity." "It's not about charity, Paul." "It's what I want to do." "What about Jack?" "You said you were in love with him." "I know." "Sorry." "I didn't mean to interrupt." "I'll come back later." "No, it's all right." "Come in." "Thought you'd be at the dod briefing." "Yeah, it ended early." "Oh." "I just wanted to come down and see how you're doing." "I've been trying to get down here since you got out of surgery." "Listen, Paul... please, you don't have to say anything." "Yeah, I do." "You saved my life." "I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, so... you pushed me out of the way." "Honestly, I wasn't even thinking." "It just happened..." "Paul?" "You all right?" "I'll check back on you later." "Does he know that you want to come with me?" "Not yet." "What is it?" "We found lee jong." "Where is he?" "Chinese consulate." "Damn it, he must have known we were coming for him." "He took refuge." "He got there about an hour ago." "Consulate's sovereign territory." "It's the one place we can't get to him." "But we're going to try." "David palmer for you." "David palmer?" "Frankly, president Logan's been a little overwhelmed by what's been happening." "He enlisted palmer to help us directly." "Good." "This is Bauer." "Hold for the president." "Sir." "Thank you, mike." "It's nice to talk to you again, Jack." "It's nice to talk to you, too, Mr. President." "L assume Bill told you about lee jong." "Yes, sir." "I'm about to call the chinese consul and explain the situation." "I'd like it if you personally took lee into custody and brought him back to CTU for interrogation." "And you think the consul will be cooperative?" "He's a reasonable man." "And what if the political approach doesn't work?" "I'll leave it to you to make the necessary preparations." "Whatever it takes, we need this man lee in custody." "I understand, Mr. President." "Thank you, Jack." "You have a chinese interpreter?" "Melissa rabb." "She's very good." "Okay, I need her, curtis and one of his agents,ready to move on the consulate now." "Edgar stiles." "Okay, I'm opening a window now, send it through." "Ms. Dessler." "Division just called." "That videotape they were trying to restore-- they were only able to reconstruct part of it." "They're sending it to my work station as we speak." "Bill." "People of america, you wake up today to a different world." "One of your own nuclear weapons has been used against you." "It'll be days and weeks before you can measure the damage we have caused." "But as you count your dead, remember... you wake up today to a different world." "Do we take that literally?" "That he'll set off the warhead before dawn?" "We have to look at the worse case scenario." "What time is sunrise on the east coast?" "7:02." "Less than two hours from now." "Unless you renounce your policies of imperialism and interventionist activities this attack will be followed by another and another after that." "The chinese consul in los angeles, a man named koo yin." "Mr. Koo, this is david palmer." "It's an honor to speak with you, Mr. President." "I'm calling on behalf of president Logan." "The situation today has forced him to direct his attention to other,equally urgent matters." "I understand." "And my government extends its sympathy for these terrible attacks on your country." "We stand ready to help in any way we can." "Thank you." "The fact is, you can help us." "There's a man in your consulate by the name of lee jong." "Yes, he arrived here earlier tonight." "We have evidence connecting him to the terrorists behind today's attacks." "We need to take Mr. Lee into custody immediately for questioning." "Mr. Lee expected suspicion to fall on him." "He says there's been a mistake, he has no connections with terrorists." "We believe he's helping the terrorists detonate a nuclear device on our soil." "Many lives are at stake, Mr. Koo." "President palmer" "I would very much like to help, but Mr. Lee is a chinese citizen and the consulate is chinese territory." "I can't just hand him over to you without going through channels." "Then I urge you to contact the premier immediately and explain the situation." "Tell him speed is of the essence." "Tell him cooperation will be regarded as an extraordinary act of friendship on the part of his nation, and our nation will respond in kind." "Mr. President, I'll do my best." "I'll get back to you as soon as I can." "Thank you, Mr. Koo." "Consul's going to try to make something happen." "How long will it take?" "I don't know." "Anything new?" "Yeah, white house just authorized adding iowa army reserve units to the ground search." "Have they widened the perimeter?" "Yeah, they locked down a 60-mile radius around the area where the warhead was stolen, but I'm concerned Marean's people might have managed to sneak it outside that perimeter." "Well, we closed all major roads and air traffic immediately, but there is a chance they got it through." "Homeland security's faxing over casualty projections based on that possibility." "That's probably them right now." "Yeah, I'll get it." "CTU." "Woman:" "I'm calling for Tony Almeida." "Who is this?" "This is Michelle Dessler, a colleague of his." "May I ask who's calling?" "The woman he happens to be living with." "Is he there?" "Yeah, hold on." "It's for you." "Who is it?" "The woman you're living with" "Jen." "I've been calling everyone we know going crazy looking for you." "Then finally I thought maybe Jack Bauer took you back there." "Do you have any idea how worried I've been?" "Yeah, I'm sorry," "I should have called earlier, but I've been very busy." "Oh, really?" "Busy with Michelle Dessler?" "I'm working, jen." "Oh, for CTU." "On a provisional basis, yeah." "I thought you hated that place." "Things have changed a little." "Yeah, I guess they have." "Look, jen, we can talk about this later." "Right now I got to go, all right?" "Tony, what's your ex-wife doing there?" "Jen, I'm sorry, but I got to go." "Michelle, um..." "I'm sorry you had to find out like that." "It's really none of my business." "Yeah, it is." "I should have told you I was living with somebody else." "I don't want to talk about this right now." "Yeah, well, I do." "Listen to me." "When you left, everything fell apart and jen happened to be there for me." "You don't have to make excuses for your relationship." "I'm not making excuses." "I'm just telling you how it is." "Do you love her?" "No." "Ms. Dessler, the new protocols from dod just came in." "Should I send them to your screen?" "Send them to station 16." "Thank you, Edgar." "You okay?" "I'm fine." "Is there anything I can do?" "I said I'm fine." "I'm trying not to think about what happened." "I'm going to process it later, okay?" "Sure, fine." "Edgar, I appreciate your concern, I really do." "It's just that when I shot that guy," "I thought I'd go all fetal position, but the truth is I didn't feel anything." "At all." "I hope I'm not some kind of a psychopath." "Well, he was trying to kill you." "Yeah, but still." "Maybe it's a delayed reaction kind of thing." "Maybe you'll freak out about it in a few days." "I hope so." "Sir." "Sir." "Bill Buchanan." "thank you." "Yes, Bill?" "Mr. President, we've just seen a tape recorded by Habib Marean." "On it, he says we'll be, quote "waking up to a different world."" "We can't be sure what that means, but it may indicate that the warhead will be detonated before dawn on the east coast." "Thank you, Bill." "CTU thinks that the warhead may be detonated before dawn." "Get me Mr. Koo." "This is koo yin." "Please hold for president palmer, sir." "Mr. Koo." "President palmer, I didn't expect to hear from you quite so soon." "Has the premier been made aware of the situation?" "Yes, Mr. President, he's considering it very carefully." "There's no time for that." "I've just learned that the terrorists may detonate a nuclear device within the next two hours." "Mr. Palmer, I understand the urgency of the situation." "And without making any promises," "I have every expectation of giving you a favorable answer." "When?" "I know I'll be speaking with him again in two to three hours." "I told you, that's not soon enough." "I'm sorry, Mr. President." "It's the best I can do." "Thank you, Mr. Koo, for your efforts." "Please keep me informed." "Of course, Mr. President." "he thinks Mr. Lee will be handed over to us, but not before two or three hours." "Now, from their point of view, that's moving very fast for something like this." "From ours-- not nearly fast enough." "what do we do?" "this is Bauer." "Jack, are you at the consulate yet?" "Yes, sir, we've taken up position across the street." "Have they agreed to release lee?" "Not quickly enough." "And I just learned that the nuclear device may be set off at any moment." "Now, Jack, is there any doubt in your mind that lee is working with Marean?" "No, sir-- the e-mails he sent left no room for doubt." "Then we have to get lee out now and find out what he knows." "Yes, sir." "No one connected with the government can admit to knowing anything about this ever." "If you're caught, you'll be tried in a chinese court under chinese law." "I understand." "Now, Jack, if it was anyone else," "I'd ask if you were sure about this." "With you, I already know the answer." "God bless you." "Good luck." "Thank you, Mr. President." "We're on." "We're going in to get him." "All right." "Almeida." "Tony, this is Jack." "I'm at the consulate." "I need you to get me real-time infrared satellite coverage." "All right, I'm on it." "What's going on, Jack?" "The consul's not going to release lee in time." "We have to go in and get him." "Who knows about this?" "We have authorization from the white house." "Tony, this is a covert operation." "You're the only person at CTU who can know." "I need you to spoof the satellite logs and make sure that the mainframes aren't monitoring your station." "Tony, there can't be any record that this ever took place, you understand?" "Yeah." "Okay, thanks." "Let's suit up." "Tony, it's Jack." "I'm on com." "All right, Jack, I'm uploading a picture of lee to you right now." "Also, I just got a hold of the building schematic." "Can you overlay the infrared?" "Coming now." "Looks like the bulk of the people are on the first floor residential area, most of them not moving, probably asleep." "Try the second floor offices." "Grabbing data on the second floor." "All right, we got people moving." "Okay, by the way they're gathering around that third room, that's probably where lee is." "I think you're right." "I'll get back to you as soon as I'm moving." "How do you want to deploy?" "I want agent rabb to stay in the van until I need her to translate." "You both can cover the perimeter." "I'm going in alone." "Jack... my orders are to make this mission completely deniable." "If I get caught, I have to be able to say I was acting alone." "All right, what do you want us to do?" "Stay here." "If I need you, you both can reengage as soon as I leave the consulate, but only on a covert basis-- masks on, non-lethal force, you understand?" "We'll be here." "Tony, I'm going in." "Any change on infrared?" "Negative." "We'll continue monitoring in real time." "Alarm's a cambia model three." "I'm jumping the relays at the door now." "Roger that." "All right, Jack, stop." "We have somebody approaching from your west side." "I repeat, your west side." "Okay, he's moving away." "Give me the status on the other four guards." "Jack, you're right on top of them." "We have someone approaching from your north side." "Okay, you're clear." "I've got him." "Roger that." "People moving toward you on both floors." "I'm heading out." "Hostiles in pursuit." "Bring up the van." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "let's go!" "He's hit." "Pass me the medical bag." "Now!" "We're in." "Go!" "Go!" "Jack, give me a status." "We're away, lee's in custody." "He's been shot in the back, no exit wound." "How bad is it?" "I can't tell yet." "The bleeding doesn't look too severe." "We're on our way to you." "We're about 15 minutes out." "I'll have medical ready." "he says not to touch him." "He doesn't want you to touch him." "Tell him I'm just trying to help him." "I need to check his wound." "hold him down!" "Hold him down now!" "We need to calm him down so that I can talk to him." "Tell him we got medical assistance waiting for him and that this shot is only to help him ease the pain." "Does he understand?" "Yes" "Mm-hmm." "That's great." "Thank you very much." "Hey, the faa's cleared us to leave at 8:00 on a medical transport plane." "Dr. Besson's agreed to accompany us." "That's great news." "As soon as you settle in, I'll start looking for an apartment." "I don't know what to say." "I'm going to get through this." "I know you will." "Raines." "Yeah." "Okay." "All right, so you're going to take care of the transportation..." "I got to call you back" "Paul?" "Paul, what is it?" "Paul?" "Dr. Besson!" "Please, someone come quickly!" "Okay, okay, it's okay." "He's right here." "10 milligrams vasopressin." "What's going on?" "I can barely hear his heart." "We need to do an ultrasound, but all signs point to a cardiac tamponade." "What does that mean?" "The sac around his heart is filling up with blood." "Drain off some of the fluid, but we got to get him back in surgery now." "If we don't stop the bleeding, his heart will not be able to function." "Get me the pericardiocentesis tray, now." "Okay roll on his back." "there." "Tell him we know that he helped Habib Marean with the missing warhead, and now we need him to help us find Marean and stop him before he can detonate it." "If he denies involvement, tell him we can prove it with his e-mails." "he doesn't deny it." "He says he knows where Marean is, and he will tell you if you agree to his terms." "What are they?" "he says he went to the consulate seeking protection from our government as well as Marean." "He believes Marean wants to kill him to prevent him from talking." "He wants our guarantee of protection." "Tell him if the information that he provides us leads us to the warhead in time, he will be immune from prosecution in this country and I will take him back to the chinese consulate or wherever he wants to go." "he says this is acceptable, but he wants a guarantee of this in writing from the president." "Tell him I understand that and I will get that for him." "I give him my word, but I need the information now." "He says he must have this guarantee before he will tell you." "No, that's not good enough." "this is bau... this is Bauer." "President palmer's on the line." "Put him through." "Jack, Buchanan told me you've got lee jong in custody, and that he was wounded." "Yes, sir." "Is he talking?" "He wants to help us, but he won't till he has a written guarantee that he won't be prosecuted in this country." "We also have to provide safe travel to a destination of his choosing." "This guarantee has to be signed by the president." "Jack, CTU believes the detonation of this warhead is imminent." "Can you force him to talk immediately?" "I don't think so." "I think the fastest way to make this happen-- give him what he wants." "Okay." "I'll get the guarantee from Logan and have it waiting for you at CTU." "Thank you, sir." "What is it?" "Su ming, the deputy chinese consul." "They didn't waste any time." "I can't blame them." "They have to know we're behind the attack." "What shall I tell him?" "I'll take the call." "We have to start fencing with them sooner or later." "Might as well be now." "Mr. Lee won't talk unless he has a guarantee of immunity and safe transport." "Get that from Logan, will you?" "Mr. Su." "Yes." "¶÷" "Is this president palmer?" "Yes." "Has the premier responded to the consul's request to have Mr. Lee turned over to us?" "Mr. President... the consul is dead." "What?" "He was shot when armed men broke into this building and took Mr. Lee with them by force." "I'm shocked and deeply saddened.Please convey that to your government on behalf of mine." "Mr. President... is it your position that you have no knowledge of this operation?" "That the timing of your call and this abduction is entirely coincidental?" "The consulate is a sovereign territory of the people's republic of china." "I can't believe anyone connected with this country had a hand in it." "I'm sure you understand the political ramifications if you are incorrect." "And I'm sure you understand the ramifications of unproven accusations." "No accusations have been made, Mr. President, but" "I can assure you there will be an investigation." "Your government will have my complete cooperation." "Thank you, Mr. President." "I'm sure you'll be hearing from us again... very soon." "President Logan will provide lee with a written guarantee, as long as it remains covert." "Sir?" "What's wrong?" "Koo yin was killed in the course of the abduction." "my god." "By one of our own people?" "No." "It must have been friendly fire, but it really doesn't matter." "If they're able to find proof that we were involved, in the long run, the repercussions will be as serious as those we're facing from the terrorists." "Tony." "I just heard that lee jong is on his way here and he's been shot." "How did this happen?" "The chinese weren't going to give lee up in time, so Jack and his team had to extract him." "Jack went into the consulate?" "On whose authority?" "The white house." "Why is this the first I'm hearing about this?" "This operation needed to be kept off the books to make it was deniable." "But you knew about it." "Yes, I did." "I ran tactical from here." "It is absolutely unacceptable." "I was kept out of the loop on this." "That's the way Jack wanted to play it." "You don't work for Jack!" "You work for me!" "A situation, frankly, I wish I had been consulted on in the first place." "Meaning?" "Meaning, I thought it was a mistake to reinstate you, and now I'm certain of it." "Look, I understand you don't appreciate being kept in the dark... but I think this is about something else." "Well, you're wrong about that, too, and you are way out of line!" "Thank you." "Tell him we're almost there." "The medical assistance that we promised him and the guarantee are waiting for him." "I can't understand him." "Ask him if he's in pain." "He says he's cold, very cold." "What's going on, Jack?" "He must have severe internal bleeding." "Damn it." "His lungs are filling up with fluid." "I'll alert CTU." "Mr. Lee." "Mr. Lee." "Tell me where Habib Marean is." "Please, tell me where he is now." "Damn it, we're losing him." "All right, stand by with a gurney." "We're coming in hot." "Jack" "Jack, what's going on?" "Jack" "You can't come in here." "He's dying." "So is he." "Get out of here." "I just started this operation." "This man is our only connection to a stolen nuclear warhead." "You've got to save him now." "I'll get to him as soon as I can." "He's not gonna make it." "I already have a patient." "Curtis." "You have a new one." "Are you crazy?" "Maybe you didn't understand me." "This is the only man that can help us find the missing warhead and stop it from being detonated." "If you don't save him, millions of people will die." "Do you understand that?" "Millions of people." "Start working on him now!" "Jack, what are you doing?" "If I walk away from Mr. Raines now, he will die." "You don't know that for sure." "Jack" "Do it.Now!" "Give him more volume." "Jack,please,please don't do this." "His lungs are damaged." "He's lost a lot of blood." "All I need you to do is stabilize him so I can talk to him.Can you do that?" "Maybe." "Then do it." "Deborah, I need you over here." "What about Mr. Raines?" "Have one of the agents give chest compressions if the pressure drops." "I got it." "Put some gloves on." "Jack" "Jack" "I have my orders!" "I'm doing my job!" "I'm sorry." "You're sorry?" "!" "You're letting him die!" "Get her away now!" "Stop it, Jack!" "Jack, stop!" "He saved your life!" "There's a tension pneumo." "We have to relieve the pressure immediately." "Get me a chest tube!" "Get him on a monitor." "Jack, please, stop this." "Pulse is weakening." "Pressure dropping." "I'm begging you,Jack,stop it!" "Hey, let go of me!" "Please!" "Let go of me!" "Jack, Paul's crashing." "What can we do for him?" "He's in v-fib." "Use the defibrillator!" "Charging." "Clear!" "Hit him again, Jack!" "Charging!" "Clear!" "He's still flatlining." "Give him a shot of epinephrine." "Where is it?" "On the tray, second syringe from the left." "Got it." "Inject it in the iv." "It's in." "Come on..." "Jack." "Jack." "He's dead." "no!" "Jack!" "No!" "He's gone." "oh, my god." "You son of a bitch, Jack!" "You son of a bitch!" "You killed him!" "He saved your life!" "Get her out of here-- now." "You killed him!" "I hate you, Jack!" "You killed him!" "How could you do this?" "!" "You killed him, Jack." "You killed him!" "Let go of me!" "Suture." "Is he gonna make it?"

" So long." "We'll see you again." " Goodbye." "Give me your money." "Do it." " Splendid." " Thank you." "Blue 439." " Blue 439." "Over." " Blue 439, go ahead, please." "Over." "Phone Weston 0-219." "Tell him I'm on my way, will you?" "Roger Wilco." "Stand by." " Hello, love." " Hello." " Get that stuff developed, will you?" " Yeah." "Right away." "Here I am." "Ready?" " I've been ready for nearly an hour." " Good." "I'm catching a plane for Paris at 11, so I can't..." "Can't what?" "It doesn't matter." "Who the hell were you with last night?" "Reg." "Reg, let's have some noise, can we?" "Right." "That's good." "That's good." "Hold that." "Reg." "Give it to me now." "Come on." "That's good." "Hunch." "Hunch more." "That's it." "That's good." "That's good." "And the hair back." "And the hair back." "That's great." "That's great!" "That's good." "More of that." "Now give it to me." "Really give it to me." "Come on, now." "As fast as you can, give it to me." "Come on, right forward." "That's good." "This side." "This side." "Lean right forward." "Hand up." "That's great." "Just touch the face." "That's very good." "And again around this way." "Touch the face again." "Good." "Now the hair." "Marvelous." "That's great." "Good." "Yes, the hair." "Much more." "Much more." "Good." "Yes, that's great." "That's good." "Yes." "And again." "And again." "Oh, hold that." "Hold the hair back." "Again." "Good." "Okay, Reg, 50." "On your back." "On your back." "Go on." "Yes." "Now really give it to me."

"Yeah, hold on." "It's Peter." "Hello?" "Yes." "Yes." "Yeah, I've got it somewhere." "I know I have." "Yeah, hold on." "Reg, take down the address of that bloody junk shop, would you?" "Why, they're fabulous." "Go on." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Great." "Here." "You can burn that lot." "Reg!" " Get the birds down, will you?" " Okay." "No chewing gum." "Get rid of it." "And not on my floor." "You, arm down." "Right." "Six millimeter." "Terrible." "How about the leg a little further forward?" "Put the head up." "Just go." "Mouth open." "Yes, good." "Good." "No, you're all wrong." "Start again." "Rethink it." "Rethink it." "Stripes, let the dress just fall down." "Keep the stripes straight." "Just let your arms go up and down." "Yes, very tasty." "Yes, I like it." "I like it." "Go on." "Yeah." "All right, change position." "Yep." "Wake up!" "You can thank your lucky stars you're working with me, can't you?" "All right, one more." "And let's smile now." "Come on." "Smile." "Smile." "God." "I asked you to smile." "What's the matter?" "Have you forgotten what a smile is?" "Hey?" "!" "All right, you're all tired now." "Go on, relax." "I can't see your eyeballs anymore." "They're just slits." "Go on." "Close your eyes." "Close your eyes." "And stay like that." "It's good for you." "Close your eyes." "That must be five or six years old." "They don't mean anything when I do them." "Just a mess." "Afterwards, I find something to hang on to, like that..." "Quite like that leg." "Then it sorts itself out and adds up." "It's like finding a clue in a detective story." "Don't ask me about this one." "I don't know yet." " Can I buy it?" " No." "Will you give it to me?" "There." "Tight-faced bastard." "He won't float me one of his crappy paintings." "I'll creep down one night and knock it off." "Don't stop, it's lovely." "You look tired." "I've been all night in a doss house." "They say they've been asked to come here." " Not by me." " Well, we weren't exactly asked." "Sorry, I'm busy." "They're printing some snaps for me upstairs." "Go and fetch them." "Couldn't you give us just a couple of minutes?" "A couple of minutes?" "I haven't even got a couple of minutes to have my appendix out." " Well, when can we come then?" " Don't." "The others still waiting with their eyes shut?" "Yes, they're waiting, but their eyes are open." "Good." "Tell them to shut them again." "Get rid of that bag." "It's diabolical." "Can we come back this afternoon?" " What do you want?" " Just looking around." "There are no cheap bargains here." "You're wasting your time." "Well, I'll just have a look." "What are you looking for?" " Pictures." " No pictures." "What kind of pictures?" " Landscapes." " Sorry, no landscapes." "Sold." "All sold." " You the owner?" " No, the owner is out." "Expecting him?" "What are you doing?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Give me those." "You can't photograph people like that." "Who says I can't?" "I'm only doing my job." "Some people are bullfighters some people are politicians." "I'm a photographer." "This is a public place." "Everyone has the right to be left in peace." "It's not my fault if there's no peace." "You know, most girls would pay me to photograph them." "I'll pay you." "I overcharge." "There are other things I want on the reel." "What do we do then?" "I send you the photographs." "No, I want them now." "No!" "What's the rush?" "Don't let's spoil everything." "We've only just met." "No, we haven't met." "You've never seen me." " Hello." " Hello." " My agent saw you about this shop." " Did he?" "He's a man with a cigar." "Throws ash everywhere." "I expect I remember him." "I probably asked for too much money." "Money's always a problem, isn't it?" "Tell him to come back." "Why are you selling?" "I'd like to try something different." "Get off somewhere." "I'm fed up with antiques." "Get off where?" "To Nepal." "Nepal is all antiques." "Is it?" "Perhaps I better try Morocco." " How much?" " What?" "The propeller." "You can have it for 8 pounds." " Right." "You're in business." " Have you got a van?" " You can't take it now." "I must." "I must." " I can't live without it." " Hard luck." "That'll teach you to fall in love with heavy things on Saturday mornings." " Is that it?" " That's it." "You can't treat it like that." "It's not a delivery van." " Who cares?" " Leave it to me." "Something will turn up." "Yes." "All right, but it better turn up today." "Blue 439." "Blue 439." "Over." "439, go ahead, please." "Over." "Hello, this is..." "Get me Flaxton 2-249." "Mr. Walker." "Mr. Peter Walker." "Tell him I saw the junk shop." "It's pricey, but the kid will come down." "Let him ring her right away, then nobody else will get it." "Roger Wilco." "Stand by." "Blue 439." "Blue 439." "Over." "Blue 439." "Blue 439." "Go ahead, echo." "Blue 439, message passed." "The number stored." "Your caller doesn 't like it." "Tell him to get stuffed." "What about all the buildings going up around the place?" "Already there are queers and poodles in the area." "I saw some in the couple of minutes I was there." " It'll go like a bomb." "Over." " Blue 439." "What is in the area?" "Over." " Forget it." "Over." " Roger Wilco." "Standing by." "You want to use the lot?" "Don't you like them?" "They're great." "We'll use three or four." "Spread through the book?" "No." "All together." "Yeah." " And a pint." " Yes, sir." "Which one last?" "None of this lot." "I've got something fab for the end." "In a park." "I only took them this morning." "You'll get them later today." "It's very peaceful, very still." "And the rest of the book will be pretty violent, so it's best to end it like that." "Yes." "That's best." "Rings truer." "I'm going off London this week." "Why?" "It doesn't do anything for me." "Yeah." " I've knocked up a few captions." " Yeah?" "I'm fed up with those bloody bitches." "I wish I had tons of money." "Then I'd be free." "Free to do what?" "Free like him?" "Someone we know?" "That'll be all right." "Hello." "Could you get me Frobershire 3-229, please?" "I've only got a sixpence." "Park 1296." "Hello." "It's me." "Weren't you supposed to be going off to Hurley?" "Listen, stay where you are." "Call me soon at home." "I've come..." "I've come for the photographs." "How did you manage to find me?" "Do you live here?" "Drink?" "What's so important about my bloody pictures?" "That's my business." "The light was very beautiful in the park this morning." "Those shots should be very good." "Anyway, I need them." "My private life's already in a mess." "It would be a disaster if..." "So what?" "Nothing like a little disaster for sorting things out." "Have you ever done any modeling?" "Fashion stuff, I mean." "You've got it." "Hold that." "Not many girls can stand as well as that." "No, thanks." "I'm in a hurry." "You'll get your pictures." "I promise." "I always keep my word." "Come here." "Show me how you sit." "Who is it?" "Oh, yes." "That's right." "Hold on a second." "Is it for me?" "It's my wife." "Why should I speak to her?" "Sorry, love." "The bird I'm with won't talk to you." "She isn't my wife, really." "We just have some kids." "No." "No kids." "Not even kids." "Sometimes, though, it feels as if we had kids." "She isn't beautiful." "She's easy to live with." "No, she isn't." "That's why I don't live with her." "But even with beautiful girls you look at them, and that's that." "That's why they always end up by..." "And I'm stuck with them all day long." "It would be the same with men." "Have a listen to this." "No." "Keep still." "Keep still." "Listen and keep still." "You can smoke if you like." "Slowly." "Slowly." "Against the beat." "That's it." "I can't stand it." "I'm nervous enough as it is." "Can I have some water?" "And I'm not a fool, love." "Can I have the photographs?" "Of course." "Later." "Your boyfriend's a bit past it." "Why didn't you say what you want?" "Get dressed." "I'll cut out the negatives you want." "They'll go." "They're not going." "Don't go." " Have you bought a propeller?" " What?" "You bought a propeller this morning, right?" "Oh, yes." "You'll have to give us a hand with it." " All right?" " Fine." "Yeah." "What's it for?" "Nothing." "It's beautiful." "If I had a big room like this, I'd hang it from the ceiling like a fan." " Do you live on your own?" " No." "Perhaps I'll put it there like a piece of sculpture." "It'll look good there." "It'll break up the straight lines." " Are you going?" " It's late." "Do I see you again?" "Well, at least tell me your name or your telephone number." "Thank you." "Hello?" "Knightsbridge 1-239." "What?" "No, I'm sorry." "Ron?" "Something fantastic's happened." "Those photographs in the park, fantastic!" "Somebody was trying to kill somebody else." "I saved his life." "Listen, Ron, there was a girl." "Ron, will you listen?" "What makes it so fantastic..." "Look, hang on, will you, Ron?" "There's somebody at the door." "You weren't expecting us, were you?" "No." "Can you manage to make a cup of coffee?" "I can make an Irish coffee, if you'd like." "Right, come on." " She always like that?" " Like what?" "Doesn't speak." "What's your name?" "Forget it." "What's the use of her name?" "What do they call you in bed?" "I only go to bed to sleep." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Look at all these clothes." "No." " Hey, how about this one?" " Put it on." "What about you?" "Help yourself." "The coffee!" "What's happening?" " What's the matter?" " She's got a better figure than me!" "Go on, whack her." "Go on, give her the left hook." "We'll put you in the ring together." "Oh, no!" "Hold her legs!" "No!" "No!" " Hold her legs!" " No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Let go of me." "Right, let's move." "Out." " But you haven't taken any photos." " No, I'm too whacked." "It's your own faults." "Tomorrow." "Tomorrow!" "Were you looking for something just now?" "No." "Do you ever think of leaving him?" "No, I don't think so." "I saw a man killed this morning." "Where?" "Shot." "In some sort of park." "Are you sure?" "He's still there." "Who was he?" "Someone." "How did it happen?" "I don't know, I didn't see." "You didn't see." "No." "Shouldn't you call the police?" "That's the body." "Looks like one of Bill's paintings." "Yes." "Will you help me?" "I don't know what to do." "What is it?" "I wonder why they shot him." "I didn't ask." "Hello, Ron?" "Oh, hello, love." "Is Ron there?" "No, I just wanted to take him somewhere." "Where is he?" "Okay, I'll fetch him there." "Bye-bye, love." "Give them the song again." "Ron." "Give me a minute, will you?" "Ron." "Someone's been killed." "Now, would you...?" "Okay." "Okay." "Listen." "Those pictures I took in the park..." "I thought you were supposed to be in Paris." "I am in Paris." "Here." "Have a drag." "I want you to see the corpse." "We've got to get a shot of it." "I'm not a photographer." "I am." "What's the matter with him?" "What did you see in that park?" "Nothing." "Ron." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"

"Well, until now, because Ford has now decided that the latest Mustang will be sold in the UK with a V8 engine and right-hand drive." "Mm, and this has made our other resident American very happy." "He was so excited, in fact, that when the first right-hand-drive Mustang arrived at the docks in the UK, he was actually there to meet it." "(LAUGHTER)" "It'll be here any minute." "That is it."

"That's the army." "They're the ones who shot at your White House." "Sorry about that." "Having seen all of the sights, we headed out of town so I could do this." "(ENGINE THRUMS)" "There it is." "That is the soundtrack that Britain has been missing for 51 years - real American V8 muscle." "We just don't make cars like this on our side of the pond." "All that lazy-but-determined torque." "Squeeze the throttle in any gear at any speed and there's an inevitability to the way it moves off." "It's like arm wrestling a solar system - you're gonna lose." "It is weird... driving a Mustang from this side." "It's like suddenly changing your mind after 50 years of marriage and sleeping on the other side of the bed." "It's also weird driving a car with a big V8, reversing camera, air-conditioned seats, rain-sensing wipers that you can buy for £37,000." "That's half of what you'd pay for a BMW M4." "Half." "Once we were in the countryside proper," "I continued my sightseeing tour." "Look, I've drawn your badge on a hill." "Jeremy did that one." "Sorry." "Eventually, we arrived at Stonehenge." "That, you'll be amazed to learn, is an ancient calendar." "Or a clock." "Or a church." "My tour of Britain was then interrupted by an unwelcome arrival." "(GROANS)" "What are you doing here?" "Well, I have come to remind you - cos you've obviously forgotten, cos you're too giddy - that we have no need for the Mustang in Britain." "Because if you want to spend, what, £30,000-£35,000 on a fast Ford, you'd buy a Focus RS, cos that was designed for here." "No, you'd settle for that in the UK because you couldn't buy this, but now you can." "That is the point." "Would you wear chaps?" "No, because we have trousers." "What about cowboy..." "Oh, you are." "Cowboy boots." "Well, it's appropriate." "I'm welcoming..." "Listen, I don't want everything from America, I just want the Mustang." "Stupid." "No, America" "It wasn't designed for here." "Would you wear a Stetson?" "Well, no." ""It's cold out, I'll wear a Stetson."" "No!" "You wear a bobble hat." "That's a bobble hat." "Oh!" "No, hang on." "I've just realised." "What?" "Erm..." "I-I don't want to talk to you any more." "(CHEERING)" "Anyway..." "Anyway, we shall pick that up later on." "But right now it's time to drop it a cog and hook a left into Conversation Street." "(MELLOW JAZZ)" "(LAUGHTER)" "Serious." "It's serious." "It is serious stuff, this." "Now, look, in Britain we are always being told that the Scandinavians are brilliant at driving, and that's because they would be, because they have to deal with all that snow." "Mm, they're brilliant because what they do most of all is crash." "Well, you're absolutely right, as it turns out, cos I've got some interesting statistics here." "Erm..." "In Britain, 1.2% of accidents result in fatalities." "Here, I'm afraid, it's 5.1%." "Yeah, and it's not just the Finns, either, if I may be so bold." "Our Senior International Producer - that's his job title - came over to Finland the other day, rented himself a BMW at the airport - not a Ford or an Opel, you'll note, a BMW " "and on his way to the location here, this happened." "(LAUGHTER) RICHARD:" "He did!" "He did!" "When I say he's our Senior International Producer, he's now our Junior International Producer." "Our Junior Local Producer." "Yeah." "Very local." "Specifically, the stationery cupboard." "He can produce that." "That's all he's in charge of." "How did he do that?" "!" "The thing is, what I don't understand is how the Finns manage to go fast enough to have a crash of any sort at all, because the speeding fines here are insane." "They're means tested, which means a guy here recently was caught doing 49mph through a 30 zone and he was fined 112,000 euros." "That's a speeding fine!" "(AUDIENCE GASPS)" "Are they really that high in Finland?" "(AUDIENCE CONCUR)" "They are?" "A hundred and twelve... 112,000." "Imagine getting that in the post!" "Well, it's interesting." "Actually, there was a Finnish minister recently said that the government needs those speeding fines to balance the books, they said." "They actually said, "Speeding is good for the country."" "(LAUGHTER)" "That is actually what..." "JEREMY:" "Because it is." "Every country." "RICHARD:" "Right." "We should adopt that." "Speeding is good for you." "It's your social duty." "A bit more conversation for you." "Oh, good!" "(LAUGHTER)" "I think, with the exception of Rolls-Royce," "Volvo now make the best car interiors of anybody." "(AUDIENCE CALLING OUT)" "They do." "They're very, very good." "I don't like to, but I agree with you." "because I went in the new S90 the other day, and the interior is superb." "We've got a picture of it here." "Yes, that one." "JEREMY:" "They use pale colours." "They've got pale-coloured seats, pale-coloured carpets, pale wood, and that makes it feel light and airy and spacious." "The only problem is that in one of those you couldn't enjoy a chocolate Magnum ice cream." "(LAUGHTER)" "It's all right, I don't eat ice cream." "It's something to do with being straight." "What?" "What?" "Why are you applauding him?" "What do you mean?" "Are you saying everyone who likes ice...?" "Ice cream is a bit, you know...." "You're saying all children are homosexual?" "No, but..." "(LAUGHTER)" "There's nothing wrong with it, but a grown man eating an ice cream, you know, it's a bit... it's that way rather than that way." "(LAUGHTER)" "It is..." "Welcome to the inside of Richard Hammond's head." "I'm right." "I can't believe you can't see that." "It's easy." "It's in front of you." "You could enjoy a 99 in there." "You mean a 69?" "No..." "Ninety-nine." "But you couldn't have the chocolate thingy." "My case rests!" "No, the chocolate thing!" "Exactly!" "You know what I mean." "No, but if you had that Volvo, you could have a white magnum..." "JEREMY:" "True." "...or a Milky Bar." "Yeah, but not a Double Decker." "Well, a Flake is worse." "No, Double Decker's worse." "(LAUGHTER)" "Double Decker..." "Do you all know what I mean by the Double Decker?" "It is unique among chocolate confectionery items." "Take a bite as you're driving along, and a bit about this big, OK, silently breaks away goes down between your legs and melts." "So when you get out, everybody thinks you've had some kind of trouser accident." "This big brown stain right..." "I know what you mean." "It does happen." "A Flake is worse." "No, it just isn't!" "A Flake is advertised as "the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate"." "It is worse." "This is a hot topic on Conversation Street." "It is!" "I think we should settle it here and now." "I'm going to go into our travelling box." "(CHEERING)" "Our travelling box of chocolate confectionery, and I'm going to..." "Let's settle it with a competition, yes?" "I'm gonna give you James's Flake and you the Double Decker." "I'll turn that over, so then you'll see how much spills off as I eat the Flake." "Not much." "Right, ready?" "This is scientific." "(LAUGHTER)" "Here we go." "Oh." "Some of it's already crum..." "This is cheating, this one." "RICHARD:" "OK, no, clear away the debris." "JEREMY:" "No, I need to..." "Jesus!" "That's part of eating it!" "It isn't part of eating it!" "I haven't even begun." "But you've got to unwrap it." "Ssh!" "Cheat." "♫ Only the crumbliest ♫" "♫ Flakiest chocolate ♫" "Oh, God." "♫ Tastes like choc... ♫" "What?" "Jeremy, you know that advert?" "Girl in..." "(LAUGHTER)" "Girl in the the field of poppies - we're not seeing that right now." "I am." "I'm not." "Right, ready?" "Watch this." "RICHARD:" "He's going in." "First bite." "Oh, it's a big fall of chocolate!" "JEREMY:" "Mm." "It's a heavy sprinkling, that." "That is just a light dusting of chocolate." "A light dusting, yeah, OK." "Right, James May." "Moving over to James May and his Double Decker." "This is exciting, isn't it?" "This is a great car programme." "Groundbreaking stuff, yeah." "Quiet, please." "I can't believe..." "I can't believe this hasn't been done before." "(LAUGHTER)" "He's going in." "He's taking a bite." "His poor old gnash..." "His teeth!" "Oh!" "(AUDIENCE GASPS)" "It's a catastrophic fall!" "The clear winner..." "The Double Decker is worse than the Flake." "There's the Flake." "There's the Double Decker." "So, there we are." "Using science, we have now established if you've got a Volvo, don't have a Double Decker." "Ever." "(LAUGHTER)" "Or an ice cream, because he..." "Oh, no, forget it." "Let's move a little further along Conversation Street, shall we?" "Erm..." "A few weeks ago, Amazon, they ran an advert for our show, and we're rather pleased with it." "See, it's got everything in." "Yeah, the sense of travel." "Logo." "And there's even the goat." "Yeah, no, that's perfect." "Everything you need there." "All you need for the advert." "It's on the screen." "It's good, isn't it?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Yeah." "All the essentials are there." "Everything you need." "Everything you need to see." "(RICHARD LAUGHS) JEREMY:" "Actually..." "All the important stuff." "Hammond, I'm sorry to do this, but before the show launched, Amazon did another advert, OK, which somebody sent to me on a tweet, which I screen grabbed, so the quality's not good, but I have brought it along." "Here it is." "Oh, for God's sake!" "(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)" "(GROANS)" "I like their marketing department a lot." "I think that's enough Conversation Street, so let's get back to our film." "Yes." "Earlier on, I was in the right-hand-drive Ford Mustang, showing it the sights around our country." "Unfortunately, he turned up and tried to argue that the similarly priced Ford Focus was a better bet." "Yeah, I did do that." "I responded by driving off and refusing to talk to you." "A bit rudely, I thought." "I'm sorry, this is my film, my tour of England, and I didn't want him spoiling it." "This thing's bloody awesome." "Listen to that bellow." "This thing squats on its haunches." "This is what it's built to do." "Every crackle, pop and bang is just connected to every synapse and sinew in me." "Oh, no." "This is like a first date for me, and on a first date, you don't want a fat, balding uncle tagging along." "So what I'm gonna do now..." "is lose him." "It's Hammer Time!" "Shock and awe!" "It's Bond versus Bourne." "(HORNS BLARING)" "He's got five litres." "I've only got 2.3." "Is he going twice as fast?" "No, he is not." "Corner coming up." "There's no need to panic any more in a Mustang, because, for the first time, the Mustang has independent rear suspension." "Ooh!" "(LAUGHS)" "The cornering speeds this thing can achieve..." "beggar belief." "(CHUCKLES)" "How does it grip that well?" "!" "(LAUGHS) I'm in a car chase in a Mustang." "I am Steve McQueen." "Try that on." "I've got it in Sport Mode, which makes the exhaust pop and bang." "(POPPING)" "Woohoo!" "Mine!" "(LAUGHS)" "RICHARD:" "Oh, my God!" "Flat out, yeah." "And it still grips!" "What is the point of traction control on this thing?" "It's like putting a nymphomania control on a nun." "Oh, God!" "(HORN BLARES)" "Where's he gone?" "How did he do that?" "How did he get away from me in something from the 18th century?" "Especially when I'm driving what is basically a turbocharged barnacle." "This has the most sophisticated four-wheel-drive system fitted to any car." "Not even a Nissan GTR could live with this." "The Mustang, well, that's for cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway, listening to Don Henley." "This is for storming up the Stelvio Pass, listening to the Clash." "But while it's a grippy, technological masterpiece, it still has the blue-collar character of its ancestors." "In many ways, this reminds me of the old Escort Cosworth, and that was a great car." "I actually had one in the '90s." "I called it Gary." "It started every morning and it always went, "Do you want some?" "!"" "It was just John Terry, really, with windscreen wipers." "RICHARD:" "Meanwhile, having got rid of the ape," "I was back on my sightseeing tour." "This is our Cheddar Gorge." "Obviously it's not as big as your gorge." "The Grand Canyon is bigger." "Well, it's longer and deeper... and wider." "Mm." "But it doesn't have any cheese in it." "Why can't you just leave me alone?" "I'm just saying, everything in America comes with cheese, apart from the Grand Canyon." "Whereas this canyon does come with cheese, and it's delicious." "Here, have some." "I don't want cheese." "It's better than Monterey Jack in a tube." "You're ruining this!" "No, you are, because you are telling everyone that the Mustang is better than the Focus." "Well, it is." "It isn't." "It is." "No, it isn't." "Look, I'm not saying this is perfect, cos it isn't." "There's a vertical choppiness to the ride, which is annoying." "If you put your phone in the phone holder in front of the gear lever and then accelerate, it shoots under the seat." "You never see it again." "Petrol tank, way too small." "And the styling is a bit..." "yobbish." "A bit?" "!" "But, Hammond, look at this." "Oh, yeah, you're right." "Half a century of Mustang history, heritage and pride, but it hasn't got a small plastic strip on the door in case you're a bit clumsy." "No, it's brilliant, that." "And... this is faster." "Well, no, it isn't." "It is." "No, it isn't." "It is." "It isn't." "RICHARD:" "At this point, I decided to abandon my tour and head for the nearest airfield to teach Clarkson a lesson." "Right, I've got 410 horsepower - that's 100 more than him." "But there's something else on here that's missing on his Focus, and it's this - "line lock"." "So, engage it." "Press OK to initialise." ""Initialising." "Initialising complete." "Firmly apply and hold brake to engage." "Engaged." "Press OK to begin."" "(REVVING)" "What that's doing is locking the front brakes, so I can warm up my tyres." "Hm." "That is an ideal feature for people who wake up in the morning and think," ""Do you know, I've got too much tread on my tyres."" "Yeah!" "I'm doing that automatically!" "What a moron." "With my tyres warmed up," "I took my place on the start line." "Right, race mode, launch control, over-boost facility on the turbocharger, four-wheel-drive, and a man with lightning reactions at the wheel." "This car is going to boing off the line like a spring lamb." "Launch control, first gear, and we're ready to go." "(REVVING)" "Oh, he's away first." "The most incredible launch control in the world!" "Come on!" "Come on, Jeremy." "Come on." "You're winning." "RICHARD:" "Oh, reeling him in!" "(LAUGHS)" "(LAUGHS)" "No, no, no!" "That's simply impossible!" "Well, bless him for trying." "Things I don't want to see right now - number one, him." "So er..." "I won, then." "Yes, but your car doesn't have a drift button." "A what?" "A drift button." "What does that do?" "Well, you push it, and then, when you go round a corner, the car drifts." "Does it?" "Yeah." "You know, I'd love to see that in action." "I'd love to see you doing that." "Yes." "I'll watch." "Yeah, show me." "You stay there." "You will not..." "Even James May could drift this." "Here we go!" "I can't wait to watch." "JEREMY:" "Check it out, ladies and gentlemen!" "Check it out!" "I'm drifting." "(LAUGHS) What do you think of that, Hammond?" "Look at that!" "Hammond?" "Hammond?" "Hammond!" "(CHEERING)" "What?" "You're not gonna blame me." "Where did you go?" "Well, I left you because you were being moronic." "I wasn't!" "You were!" "Seriously, who is going to buy a Ford Focus when, for the same money, you could have a V8-engine Mustang?" "No-one." "What?" "Nobody would." "Mustang's got so much more character." "Hang on." "So, you agree with me?" "Oh, God, yes!" "If I had the choice of those two cars," "I'd have the Mustang every day of the week." "So you ruined my day out for no reason at all?" "I ruined your day out because it was fun..." "to ruin your day out." "Good work." "It was good work." "Sorry about that." "But anyway, we must now find out how fast those Fords go round our track, and that, of course, means handing them over to our other resident American - a man who thinks that shower gel is basically communist." "It's the American." "(REVVING)" "JEREMY:" "There he is, looking bewildered." "And he's away!" "It sounds like a bunch of goddamn mice in there." "Why the hell don't they just start with eight cylinders?" "Strangest mice I ever heard, as he powers down the Isn't." "That is a good noise." "Arms working the wheel like he's wrestling a drifter, which, of course, he is." "And already he's at Your Name Here." "Tyres squealing, but it's clinging on well, and now the climb back onto the Isn't." "It ain't got no room in it." "No place to put your beer." "I think he and I look for slightly different things in a car." "Anyway, now hard on the brakes as he turns into Old Lady's House." "Yeah, he is dispatching that with no dramas, and now he can get the hammer down for the bumpy sprint to Substation." "Looking good." "Four-wheel-drive cars can, of course, understeer, but... nope, not a whiff of it here." "And Field Of Sheep, tidy through there as well, and across the line." "Now, I think he might enjoy this one." "And he is wheel-spinning away!" "All right!" "American muscle, baby!" "5.0 Mustang - this thing is badass." "It's got a trunk, a place for my golf clubs." "Pack up the old lady, go for the weekend somewhere in this thing, and you can haul ass while you're goin'." "Something there about an old lady and hauling a bottom." "Anyway, he's on the Isn't, and he's flying into Your Name Here." "The mighty Mustang has filled the American with vigour, and he's being surprisingly tidy." "That's what us Americans want, we want to smoke the tyres." "We want this thing to just get shit and get." "Literally no idea what he's on about." "It's just a noise." "When this thing stops, man, it stops on a dime." ""It'll stop on a dime and give you nine cents change" is what we say." "You really can't shut him up about this one." "Anyway, he is keeping it neat round Old Lady's House, and then unleashing that V8 fury over the rough stuff to Substation." "Hard on the brakes, ready for the 90 left." "Blip it up to Field Of Sheep." "Here we go." "Flurry of exuberance, and across the line." "(CHEERING)" "There we are." "OK, here's the Lap Board." "Let's have a look, first of all, where the Focus went." "So..." "Oh, there it is." "Faster than an ST200 - perhaps not surprising." "Just as well." "Now let's bring up the Mustang." "Oh!" "(AUDIENCE GASPS)" "That's not embarrassing, is it?" "(LAUGHTER)" "The car that you, me, and the American all prefer is quite a lot slower than the European Focus." "RICHARD:" "Yes." "Anyway, listen, let's move on, shall we, to Celebrity Brain Crash." "(CHEERING)" "Now... our guest this week isn't just my favourite Formula One driver, he's also a local boy." "Oh, yeah, this is the chatty man of motorsport," "Mr Effervescent, ladies and gentlemen, Kimi Räikkönen!" "(CHEERING)" "Here he comes." "RICHARD:" "What are we gonna ask him?" "It doesn't matter what you ask him." "It doesn't, because you won't get a coherent answer." "Is he all right?" "JEREMY:" "No, hang on." "Whoa!" "RICHARD:" "Oh, no." "JEREMY:" "Not again." "(LAUGHTER)" "No, he has, I'm afraid, ladies and gentlemen, literally drunk himself to death." "(LAUGHTER)" "JEREMY:" "Damn." "Does that mean he's not coming on, then?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Well, his liver has failed and he's now slowly solidifying in the freezing dusk of an Arctic night, so that's a no." "(LAUGHTER)" "Yeah, but it doesn't matter." "Well, it does, cos I actually rather liked Kimi." "But I can think of something else we can do to fill the time." "Here's the thing." "Er..." "If you're watching this on the day the programme is actually released, it is December 23rd." "There are two days to go until Christmas, and if you're a man, you won't have done any shopping yet." "(LAUGHTER)" "But don't worry, cos we've got your back." "Oh, yeah." "We have trawled the Internet and the shops to find the best gift ideas." "Yes, and here, in our special Grand Tour Santa Land Grotto." "Yeah." "(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)" "Nice view." "Nice everything." "Yeah." "Er..." "We begin with this rather brilliant tray, which, apparently, is the ideal place to put your laptop or your breakfast." "We have a picture of it in action here." "(LAUGHTER)" "RICHARD:" "Hang on a minute!" "I see a couple of problems with that." "RICHARD:" "I can too." "What else have we got?" "Well, now, the reason I don't play chess any more is it's just so exhausting to move the pieces around." "I know what you mean." "Far too heavy, picking the Queen up and moving her." "But it's OK, because Ferrari has answered that problem with this." "It's a lightweight, carbon-fibre chess set..." "(LAUGHTER) ...and it's yours for £1,400." "How much?" "!" "£1,400." "And that is the funny thing - you take something ordinary, write a car name on it, and suddenly it becomes expensive." "This bear, for example." "I know about bears." "It's an acrylic fibre, stuffed with industrial waste." "£2.75." "But, because it's got a Honda T-shirt on, £10." "(LAUGHTER) -£10." "Yes, but it's Honda Bear!" "Or..." "(LAUGHTER)" "I love that!" "On Christmas morning, Honda Bear!" "I love following his adventures!" "How about this lovingly crafted" ""I love my Hyundai" pillowcase?" "(LAUGHTER)" "What woman is ever going to leap into bed with a man whose pillows bear that legend?" "OK, Hammond, I'll tell you exactly what woman." "The woman who would wear this thong, which has written lovingly on the front, the legend Elantra." "(LAUGHTER)" "Erotic!" "Erotic!" "Can I just say, the perfect Christmas gift for the Hyundai owner is a BMW." "Well, yes, look, we realised that branding stuff, obviously there's some money in it, so we thought, since we're in Scandinavia, we would launch our own range of car-branded Christmas jumpers." "JEREMY:" "Mm-hm." "RICHARD:" "Oh, yeah." "Yeah." "Talk among yourselves, everybody." "RICHARD:" "Hold on a moment." "JEREMY:" "This is modelling time." "(CLEARS THROAT) Mine is a simple turtleneck." "Very, very warm, bearing the name of a legend on the front." "I know, it's very special." "Very Christmassy, yeah?" "I have gone for a very cuddly..." "(LAUGHTER) ...and Christmassy cardigan bearing the name, as you can see, of a car I absolutely adore." "Yeah, and here's the thing, OK." "Mine is a crewneck, actually." "(LAUGHTER)" "(APPLAUSE)" "Why is everybody...?" "Why are you applauding?" "RICHARD:" "I don't know." "I think..." "Why are you...?" "Is it...?" "Is it because they haven't seen us in knitwear before?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Anyway, we've had a go at making some Grand Tour-branded stuff." "Oh, yeah." "But here's the thing." "We haven't gone for the obvious stuff, like jumpers and mugs and umbrellas." "We've gone for things that other people haven't thought of." "Things like this - haemorrhoid cream." "(LAUGHTER)" "We all need it." "I don't." "No, I don't, either." "Well, this is mine." "(LAUGHTER)" "Bought it for £2.75, but now it's got Grand Tour on it, we could sell that for £20." "I tell you what really good idea we've had erm... is condoms, OK, which have been... well, they've been branded with well-known expressions and phrases that we often say." "I'm gonna demonstrate using this" "Whoa!" "(LAUGHTER)" "You flatter yourself, sir!" "Au contraire." "(LAUGHS) Oh, really?" "So we simply roll the condom over the rolling pin." "Here it is." "There's the GT logo coming up." "And on the other side, "How hard can it be?"" "(LAUGHTER) RICHARD:" "We're very pleased." "JEREMY:" "Pretty damn hard, for a man of my age." "We're..." "We're very pleased with these." "Various of our slogans have been used." "I'm going to put mine on this er... disappointingly small carrot." "(LAUGHTER)" "Erm..." "And it bears one of my expressions." "See, I can't" "Don't bite it!" "Well, I can't open the thing, can I?" "No, there's one of those little tear things." "Hold on, love." "I'll be with you in a minute." "(LAUGHTER)" "No, it's" "You're not gonna be here to help me when I'm using it!" "You don't know!" "I bloody do!" "I might be." "I'm pretty sure you won't be." "That's quite the wrong thing to..." "Are you in?" "Yeah, I'm..." "What?" "!" "Can I have my glasses back?" "No." "No, I want my glasses back before you start messing around with sex things." "Oh, right, let me..." "Oh, dear." "It's a bit baggy." "I've actually torn it with my teeth, which makes the slogan on it quite appropriate, really " ""That's not gone well."" "(LAUGHTER)" "Can I just say, that is by far and away the least erotic thing I have ever..." "Don't tell me that's not an unfamiliar sight." "Oh, have you done one as well?" "Of course I have." "Very sensibly, I put mine on earlier." "Whoa!" "(LAUGHTER)" "Branded with the GT logo and my own personal catchphrase," ""I was the first to arrive."" "(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)" "Now, are you bored with having two fully functioning ankles?" "Yes?" "Well, don't worry if you are, because this Christmas, the market is awash with products designed specifically to break them." "such as this iBot-9." "I thought that was a vacuum cleaner." "No, it's incredibly heavy because it's packed full of pain." "Basically, you put these things out on the side, you stand and whizz about." "But within seconds of getting on, you will be falling over and breaking your ankles." "Probably so." "Yes, and on the other hand, there are also these." "These are called the Rocket Skates." "They will cost you just £900, and they are guaranteed to power you straight to casualty." "RICHARD:" "Yeah." "No, they're fine." "JAMES:" "No, they're really not." "I'll be all right." "I could have a go on those." "Who'd like to see that?" "(CHEERING)" "You said it." "Seriously." "I mean, honestly..." ""How hard can it be?" -(LAUGHTER)" "See, I knew it would come in handy." "I can bludgeon..." "Seriously, I'll have a go." "Off you go, mate." "Yeah." "Can I wear my shoes in them?" "(IMITATES AMBULANCE SIREN)" "(LAUGHTER)" "Are they like ski boots?" "RICHARD:" "Yes, Jeremy, apart from they've got wheels and you're indoors." "I am not going near them." "Just put my foot in them." "I don't want to!" "I can't see what I'm..." "It's degrading and unpleasant." "Do I take my shoes off?" "Put your great cloven hoof in there." "It fits!" "You can go to the ball." "(LAUGHTER)" "There, you're in." "Thank you." "Now what are you gonna do?" "You're not gonna do it!" "(LAUGHTER)" "Is that it?" "Have you started?" "Not yet." "I better face the other way, hadn't I?" "RICHARD:" "Looking good." "These are worth every..." "What will they cost, 900 quid?" "Nine hundred quid." "Literally every penny." "Wait, hold it there." "Hold it there." "Look out, girls, Mr Darcy's arrived." "(LAUGHTER)" "RICHARD:" "Looking good." "RICHARD:" "Oh, this is brilliant." "JAMES:" "Wow!" "I can see why they're called Rocket Skates." "Come on, man." "(GROANS) Oh, God!" "I'm trying to move!" "WOMAN:" "Lean back!" "What do you mean, "Lean back"?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Like that?" "Jeremy?" "What?" "Stephen Hawking would make a better job of these" "Rocket Skates than you have." "Right..." "Where are you going?" "!" "You've got to get one..." "RICHARD:" "Do you remember..." "(SHOUTING) RICHARD:" "Whoa!" "It's a disaster!" "(APPLAUSE)" "JEREMY:" "Shit." "Sorry." "Don't worry, Jeremy." "I will come and rescue on my..." "Bloody hell!" "Oh, my God." "It's going mad." "(BEEPING)" "Erm..." "Right." "Right." "I put my foot on there." "This is a really good ambulance service." "(LAUGHTER)" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Don't worry, I'll be there in a minute." "I don't know that this works." "I've gone again!" "(LAUGHTER)" "Shit!" "Now I've got cramp!" "(YELLS)" "That was..." "That was a brilliant idea, but never mind, because erm..." "I have a perfect Christmas present here." "You control this with your mobile phone and your face comes on it." "And the brilliant thing about it is that it means you can have your favourite celebrity round to your house for Christmas lunch." "With that in mind, ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome into the studio - he's actually in his office in London, and yet he's also here on top of a stick - it's Bob Geldof!" "(CHEERING)" "JEREMY:" "We're gonna say hello to Bob." "RICHARD:" "I can't say hello to Bob!" "He's coming, Hammond." "I just go in circles!" "It is!" "It's Bob Geldof, everybody!" "Hello, Bob." "Where have you gone?" "Bob!" "We're over here, Bob!" "Bob!" "Bob, we're over here!" "Where are you?" "He's there!" "Bob Geldof, how are you?" "Yes, happy Christmas!" "Oh, (BLEEP)!" "Sorry!" "Are you having a good Christmas, Bob?" "Oh, no!" "Bob's..." "Ladies and gentlemen, Bob Geldof is lost!" "He's gone in the wrong..." "JEREMY:" "Oh, James May's coming to join in." "JAMES:" "I'm coming to talk to Bob Geldof." "RICHARD:" "Whoa!" "JEREMY:" "May has kissed Bob Geldof!" "Hello, Bob." "How are you?" "Get out of the way!" "I'm travelling!" "No, straight ahead, Bob." "Bob, no." "Left-hand down, Bob." "No, Bob." "Bob, you..." "Have I just attacked somebody's knob?" "RICHARD:" "Bob, stop attacking the crowd!" "Now where's he going?" "!" "Bob!" "JAMES:" "Right, I'll rescue Bob." "Hold on." "Straight ahead, Bob." "That's perfect." "Straight ahead." "Straight." "A bit of right-hand down." "(LAUGHTER)" "No, don't drive into it!" "Stop head-butting the tree!" "This is ridiculous!" "Where's the reindeers and Santa Claus at?" "(AUDIENCE GASPS) RICHARD:" "Oh, no!" "Hang on a minute!" "He's ruined Christmas!" "Does he know it's Christmas time at all?" "Well, tonight, thank God it's him instead of us knocking the Christmas tree over." "Absolutely right." "He's ruined it!" "Anyway, erm... (LAUGHTER)" "This year marks the 50th anniversary of the greatest battle in motorsport history." "The story begins in the 1960s, when Ford realised that they could sell a lot more cars if they were a lot more successful on the racetrack." "So they formulated a brilliant plan, but unfortunately... (LAUGHTER)" "...it went disastrously wrong, didn't it, Bob?" "Ford knew that if you wanted to rule in motorsport, there was only one race that mattered." "The toughest and most dangerous of them all - the 24 Hours of Le Mans." "REPORTER:" "Levegh's Mercedes collides and blows up." "JAMES:" "The problem was, for all its might," "Ford didn't have a clue how to win at Le Mans." "However, over in Italy, someone did." "In the early 1960s," "Enzo Ferrari's cars ruled sports-car racing," "Le Mans especially." "At the start of the decade, he had won the famous and gruelling 24-hour race three times on the trot." "However, the company was in deep financial difficulty, so when Ford offered to buy the entire business," "Enzo agreed." "At first, all went well." "Enzo Ferrari and the head of Ford, Henry Ford II, quickly settled on a price of $16 million." "And on May 21st 1963," "Ford executives arrived in Maranello to sign the deal." "Ford turned up with an army of suits." "Enzo Ferrari sat opposite them with just the local town lawyer." "They read the contract and all seemed well, but then, suddenly, Ferrari stopped and he took out his famous fountain pen full of purple ink, and as you can see from this accurate copy I have here," "he drew a big exclamation mark and he wrote," ""No, that's no good!"" "Now, what had angered him?" "Well, it was this clause here." "You see, Enzo Ferrari wanted to retain control of the motorsport side of his business, but this bit effectively handed control to Ford." "There followed a tirade of abuse in Italian, after which, Enzo said to his lawyer, "Let's go and eat."" "Then they got up and they simply walked out on the stunned Ford executives." "That was that." "All of this for nothing." "Back in Detroit, Henry Ford II, apoplectic with rage, gathered his lieutenants and issued the order:" ""Build me a car that will crush Ferrari at Le Mans."" "To beat Ferrari on European soil," "Ford needed European expertise, so he hired a small British motorsport company that set up shop here, in this very building, on an industrial estate in Slough, just outside London." "And the challenges they faced were enormous." "They had to build a car that would race at over 200mph, which was something that had never been done before, and it had to be reliable for the 24 hours of the Le Mans race - a race in which you changed gear 9,000 times" "and drove flat out for 3,000 miles." "And, as if that wasn't bad enough, they only had ten months to do it." "Out of that insane timetable emerged this." "The Ford GT." "Thanks to its sleek shape and the body that stood just 40-inches tall, it promised to cut through the air like a missile." "Add a 4.2L V8, and the magic target of 200mph seemed in the bag." "The trouble is, a racing car is just a collection of hopes and dreams until it gets on the track." "And that's something that Ford learned in a very brutal way when they took the GT40 to test at Le Mans for the first time." "REPORTER:" "And so to the first Le Mans practice session." "JAMES:" "On its first outing, the renamed GT40 was fast, but it was also terrifyingly unstable, spinning its wheels on the straights." "I'm not talking about when you set off," "I mean it was happening at 170mph!" "Now, the problem was either aerodynamics or suspension, but they never found out, because, later that day, the car crashed at 160mph." "Well, that was OK." "They had a spare one, of course." "The next day, that crashed as well." "Le Mans was just two months away." "Against all odds, Ford got their act together in time for the 1964 race." "REPORTER:" "The Le Mans 24 Hour Race at last, and three gleaming Ford GTs are present." "JAMES:" "But during the race itself, all the cars broke down or caught fire, leaving bitter rivals Ferrari to take another one-two-three victory." "In Detroit, Henry Ford decreed that they would be back next year to take on Ferrari again." "And to head up the campaign, he turned to an American motorsport hero." "My name's Carroll Shelby and performance is my business." "Shelby was a former chicken farmer from Texas who took nitroglycerin pills to keep his heart going." "But he'd also racked up countless victories as a driver and team owner." "Given the task of turning the GT40 into a winner, he put his top man on the job." "Coming up is Ken Miles, one of the best sport-car drivers in America." "Miles was a former Second World War tank commander from Birmingham - the one in England, not Alabama." "He was renowned for speaking his mind and developing racing cars." "Miles took the car for a shakedown." "Then he got out and he told Shelby and the Ford executives," ""It's bloody awful!"" "Then he got to work, improving the brakes, the engine, the aerodynamics, the handling, and taming the car's terrifying high-speed instability." "However, and even though he and his team took amphetamine so that they could stay awake all night, there simply wasn't time to develop the car properly for Le Mans." "The GT40 may have been faster, but it was still fragile." "At the 1965 race, six cars started, none finished, and the Italians humiliated Ford once again." "So, untold millions of dollars had been spent since the first GT40 emerged from this building here, and yet not one car had even finished the race." "So Ford now faced a difficult choice - he could throw in the towel against Ferrari, or he could fight on." "What he actually did was he had some business cards printed, and he distributed them to his Le Mans team." "And on the cards it said, "You'd better win."" "And so, a year later, the American giant returned to Le Mans with its hopes resting on this." "(ENGINE REVVING)" "OK, viewers, this is historic-race-car bucket-list moment number two, because this is an actual GT40 that competed at Le Mans in 1966." "All right, don't go mad, May, it's worth 15-million quid." "Sod it!" "Let's make some noise!" "Oh, yes!" "In this new GT40," "Ken Miles had racked up thousands of test hours." "Now the car was no longer horribly unstable, but would sit rocksteady at 210mph." "And the Brummie tank commander had the backing of Ford's huge RD department, who tackled the car's appalling reliability." "The brakes no longer went into thermal shock at the end of the long straight." "The engine and transmission were run on a computerised test rig that simulated the whole of the 24-Hour Le Mans race." "Now, that's standard practice in Formula One today, but in 1966 that was witchcraft." "They weren't mucking about, these blokes." "But neither were the opposition." "Over in Italy, in response to the new threat," "Ferrari produced this." "Called the P3, it looked as sleek as a GT40." "And at just 37.4 inches tall, it was even lower." "Avanti!" "Whoo!" "Holy mother!" "I best be a little bit careful on this narrow road." "It's worth £20 million." "Where the GT40 boasted a top speed of over 210mph, the P3 maxed out at just 190." "But Enzo Ferrari was willing to trade outright speed for gains elsewhere." "The Ferrari was lighter, it was more agile." "Ferrari reckoned he could make up the difference in the bends, and he wouldn't have to stop so often for fuel." "A David and Goliath battle was looming." "At the 1966 Le Mans race, Ford arrived with an armada - eight cars, 20 tonnes of spares, and a squad of world-class drivers, including Ken Miles himself." "In comparison, Ferrari turned up with just a trio of P3s, but Enzo had an ace up his sleeve - the undisputed fastest driver on the planet," "Formula One World Champion John Surtees." "He came to me and said, "John... we've got to beat the Fords." "Go out and do it."" "I thought there was only one tactic - to have at least one car be the hare." "I said, "Look, I don't mind being the hare."" ""The moment that flag goes down, we need to be - bang - off,"" "tempting the Ford drivers to perhaps overdrive a little bit." "If one could push them hard enough for long enough, then there is more likelihood, obviously, of being able to break them." "The plan was set." "But, as zero hour approached, everything unravelled." "REPORTER:" "Shortly before the race, we learned that he wasn't going to drive, and we asked him about it." "Yes, unfortunately you've heard correct." "I won't be driving." "REPORTER:" "What is the reason?" "Well, I suppose it's best summed up at this stage by saying "political reasons."" "JAMES:" "The problem was that the Ferrari team manager was playing his own political game." "He had no particular liking for Surtees, and he nominated another driver to go out and start the race, to be the hare, even though Surtees was clearly the fastest man available." "SURTEES:" "And I just stormed away, drove back, and had it out with the old man." "As the Italian papers put it, they showed a picture of me walking out the gates and saying," ""The divorce of John Surtees and Enzo."" "With Surtees out of the way, the Fords took the top four slots in qualifying." "And as the clock ticked down, Henry Ford II prepared to drop the flag, praying that, this time, he would get his revenge." "REPORTER:" "Live from Le Mans, France, it's the 24 Hours of Le Mans." "(CROWD CHEERING)" "At first, the Fords stormed into the lead." "But a few hours in, it was beginning to look like a depressing repeat of '64 and '65." "As night fell, the Ferraris, using their greater agility and their greater fuel efficiency, were leading the race one-two." "Four of the eight GT40s were out of the race altogether." "Worse still, the Ford drivers had strict orders not to go balls-out for fear of breaking the cars." "But one man wasn't listening to those orders." "Ken Miles put the hammer down, set blistering lap times, and retook the lead for Ford." "The Ferraris had no response to this crushing pace, and by morning, they had either broken down or crashed." "That afternoon, Henry Ford watched his cars cruise home to a spectacular one-two-three finish." "REPORTER:" "First place for the Ford GT Mk II, and a first-time win for America at Le Mans." "JAMES:" "Ford would go on to win their next four Le Mans races." "But the man who had contributed so much to the team didn't get to see these triumphs." "Ken Miles was killed two months after their first win, testing the latest GT40." "It's impossible to calculate how much Henry Ford spent on his three-year campaign to break Ferrari, but experts reckon that, at the very least, in today's money, it was £360 million." "Now, that's a big bill for settling a spat with an angry Italian." "But look what we got out of it - one of the world's greatest cars." "(CHEERING)" "RICHARD:" "Very good." "That was good." "Very good." "I hate you." "I know." "No, but I really hate you now, cos you've driven a Ford GT40, and I never have." "I mean, next week are you gonna lick Helena Christensen?" "(LAUGHTER)" "Look..." "I'm sure you could drive a GT40 if you really wanted to." "I can't, I'm too tall." "Yeah, you mean fat." "(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)" "Tall." "(LAUGHTER)" "Horizontally tall." "(LAUGHTER)" "Well, listen, whatever dimension is the problem," "I can't drive one." "And on that terrible disappointment, it is time to end." "Thank you so much for watching." "Good night." "(CHEERING)"

"Here's what I don't get." "We paid you to put this stuff inside the house." "It's of no use to me out here." "Like I said before, Sir, we weren't contracted to move" " anyone else's furniture out." " Right, "contracted."" "In the history of moving, have you ever been contracted to drop someone's shit on the front yard?" " Marty." " Work with me." "They forgot the toy chest." "The what?" "Charlotte's toy chest." "The one I made her." "How is that a priority?" "Okay?" "Sir!" "I want you to give me one example." "I want you to tell me one example of someone who said," ""We'd like you to take everything that we own and dump it on our front lawn." "Make sure you don't put anything on the inside of the house."" "Give me one example of that, and I'll drop it." "Right." "Can't do it." "It's never happened." "Ma'am, there's a number on the receipt." " You can file a claim." " Thank you." "I will." " That's it, you're just gonna leave now?" " Yep." " Dick." " Great." " We'll move it in ourselves, I guess." " Do you..." "Supposed to be in the fucking service business!" "Just calm down." " Why should I calm down?" " Because you're gonna scare the kids." "At least I didn't tell them that their father launders money for a drug cartel." "Okay, you wanna get into this right here, right now?" "Marty!" "Wendy!" "All right, well..." "Everybody grab a box." "Let's go." "Okay, kids, if you're not gonna help, let's just go over what you're gonna say when somebody asks you why you're here." " How about that?" " Charlotte, come over here, please." "Pretty comfortable in my driveway bed." " Charlotte." " Over here right now, please." "This is important." "What do you say when somebody asks what you're doing here?" "We bought a resort called the Blue Cat." "That's exactly right." "We bought a resort called the Blue Cat." "And while I'm there today doing my job, your job is to get your boxes up into your rooms." " Okay?" " What's Wendy's job?" "Getting groceries." "If you don't like your jobs, you're free to go find a real job and help out the family." " How long are we here?" " Is your cartel after us?" "It is not my cartel, and no one is after us, pal." "Uh, hopefully, we're only here a few months." "Why did you tell us the real reason we're here?" " Because you're too smart for bullshit." " Please don't pander." "I'm not pandering." "You both have a right to know why your lives were uprooted, and the more you know, the safer you'll be." "Is it?" "Or is it 'cause you wanted us to turn on Marty here?" "You know, I found bus fares." "Caitlin said I could live with them..." " That's never gonna happen." " No, Ma'am." "Her mother drinks every day." "But you are laundering money." "I'm..." "I'm helping people, uh, get their money back into the bank so they can pay their taxes." "I got a job interview." " What?" "How?" " Technology." " I'll give you a ride." " No, thanks, I can Uber." "Wendy, you know, you can borrow the minivan for the groceries, and I can use Buddy's car out back." " Do either of you want anything?" " Yeah." "Maybe you could pick up some pistachio ice cream?" "Organic, please?" "Oh, shit." "There's no Uber." "I'm happy to give you a ride when I'm done with my day, if you can wait." "Now, listen..." "I know this is a bad situation." "I get it." "But we're all in this together." "We're gonna suck it up." "Whining's not gonna help." "That's your pep talk?" "That's my pep talk." "Also, grab a box." "You gotta be kidding me." "If I was kidding, I would've said you're witty and handsome." "You can't do that!" " Watch me." " What the fuck?" " Russ!" " Now, Ruth, we were all involved." "We should at least get our cut." "It's just fair." "You spent $900 on Jack Daniel's and fireworks." "And for the record, life's not fair." "You'll be thanking me when I parlay that coin into a better roof over our heads." "You're missing the big picture." "She's not missing the big picture, Pops." "She just doesn't wanna waste it." "Mm." "Come July 3rd, every tourist on that lake's gonna be too drunk or lazy to leave their Grady-White." "Black Cats and bottle rockets fetch double." "Lady Fingers and inch-and-a-halfers go times three." "And the Jack?" "Predilection for sour mash doesn't make a man stupid." "Doesn't inspire confidence either." "Point taken." "Hmm." "You know, you're not your daddy." "That's right." "And if Daddy were here, he would have hung you out by your ball sack already." "You want me to tell him that you're disrespecting me?" "Didn't think so." "Keep it shut about Byrdeman's eight mil." "You don't wanna be fighting the whole town for it." "All she ever says, "I'm telling Daddy."" " You brought him up." " Well, fuck that." "How long we gotta feel bad about what he did?" "Don't start with that again." " I'm just saying..." " I know, I know." ""There's gotta be a statute of limitations about this shit."" "You're damn right there does." "Fuck me." "There you go." "Good mornin'." "Hey." "The, uh, gas tanks are filled." " That's a waste." " Why's that?" "Simple economics." "All supply, no demand." "I'll worry about that." "It's a good song." "Did you pick it?" "It's a Tuck specialty." "There are easier ways to take over a business than getting punched in the face." "Well, that should tell you something, shouldn't it?" "That you're a lousy fighter?" "That and, uh, I'm willing to do whatever it takes." "Okay?" "Long as it's in pleated pants." "Uh, listen, we need to increase traffic." "Um... what do we have that no other place does?" "Uh, an investor that knows absolutely nothing about the Ozarks." " And the cheapest gas." " We don't have the cheapest gas." "We do now, and it's our siren song." "All the guests at the high-end resorts, they get ferried around." "So that's not our bread and butter." "What we're after... are the families with the credit card debt." "Every one of our competitors, they raise their gas prices during the summer." "It's the logical thing to do, yeah?" "We lower ours." "And as we start to steal their traffic, maybe they lower theirs, too, to keep pace." "What do we do?" "We lower ours again, and we offer a burger and a beer for five bucks with every fill-up." "We buy the burgers at bulk so we're still in profit." "Saturdays, the busiest day of the week... while everyone's scrambling, we raise our price ten cents while still keeping the burger deal." "Sunday, we start the cycle all over again." "Control the market." "Yeah?" "You win, I win, they win." "Are you high?" "No." "Your eyes, you look high." "Oh." "I didn't sleep last night." "Well, maybe listen to one of your business lectures." "That might do the trick." "Burgers really five dollars with a fill-up?" "Yes, Sir." "Uh, what'll you have to drink?" "Mm, Bud is fine." "Hmm." "You guys doing some work on the place?" "That's the word." "Thanks." "♪ When the leaves are fallin' ♪" "♪ In the cold November ♪" "Hey, Tuck?" "There are other songs in there, pal." "Please?" "Different number, different letter." "You owe me a job." " What?" " Am I speaking Greek?" " You owe me a fucking job." " How do you figure that?" "It's not tough." "You got me fired from the last one." "You got yourself fired... when you stole from our room under the guise of diligent service." "Goodbye." "I'm not leaving without gainful motherfucking employment." "Why don't you use the 20 grand that you took from me?" "That should supplement your welfare." " I'm not a welfare bum." " No?" "There's a million other places you could probably work." "Not right before season." "All staffed up." "My daughter got an interview in under three minutes." "I doubt she got a rap sheet like mine." "Boy, you say that with such pride." "Listen, Martin... wouldn't you agree that it's always a good idea to keep your friends close and your enemies closer?" "Hey, you told your uncles to kill me." "Do you remember that?" " You're here, aren't you?" " That's right, I am." "Isn't it better having someone working under you who knows all your dirty little deeds?" "I mean, if I were in your shoes," "I'd sure as shit rather have someone like me nearby, instead of running my mouth to every Tom, Dick and Harry about the eight million cash you're swimming in." "Someone could get ideas." "Wanna take a little wade in that big pool of yours." "And then when it's over, when it's all said and done... you'll find all your money's gone... and you're at the bottom, with an anchor tied around your torso." "In theory." "Follow me." " What are we doing?" " Deposit this." " What?" "Why?" " Just do it." " Okay." "Good." " Good what?" "You, Ruth Langmore, just committed an overt act." "Wh-What the fuck's that?" "See this camera?" "It sees you." "And it saw you just make that deposit." "Now if I'm ever arrested for anything having to do with that money, the fact that you just made that deposit for me, the feds consider that an overt act." "Makes you an accomplice." "Simply put, if I ever go to prison, so do you." "Does that mean that I'm hired?" "You wanna wash dishes for minimum wage, you can be my guest." "And now, in local news, a man from Osage Beach was hurt in a boating accident late last night near mile marker four off the Gravois Arm." "According to the State Highway Patrol," "Henry Bullock sustained several injuries when his boat struck a commercial dock." "Mr. Bullock was transported by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital, where he has been pronounced stable." "The boat was severely damaged as well." "And now to sports, where the St. Louis Cardinals look to extend their three-game winning streak as they begin a..." "I will say, "I will stand up for God!"" "Fucking kill myself." "I know you're pissed off at your mother, but she still could've given you a ride." "Don't worry, I am just as pissed at you." " But what Wendy did was wrong." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "I'm Dad, she's Mom." "The first name business stops right now." "That understood?" " And I want you to go easy on her." " Why are you defending her?" "I'm sure you could tell us stuff." "I mean, bad things she's done that would poison us on her." " Am I right?" " Uh, Charlotte... you're gonna be late." "Hurry up." "Get in there." "This all sounds good." "So, would you consider yourself a self-starter?" "Yeah, definitely a self-starter, sure." "And I'd say I have leadership qualities, as well, but not to the point where I'd undermine the Boss, or suck the air out of the room." " Well, thank you." " Yeah." "Could you start this weekend?" "Uh, could you excuse me for a moment, please?" "Oh, dude." "On three, pop shove, right now." "Hey!" "You just got hit by a girl!" " Did I just see what I think I saw?" " Yep." "Good shot." "You watching porn?" "No." "Just kidding." "Uh, you have any questions about this morning?" " No, I'm good." " You sure?" "Okay." "You know, if... if you do, you can just ask." "Yeah?" "Okay." "Charlotte won't even call us Mom and Dad." "I've never hated the sound of my own name more." "You should've seen her when I told her I couldn't get that ice cream." "It was like Medusa." "I almost turned to stone." "Most kids wish that their biggest worry was ice cream." "But this isn't their biggest worry." "Wendy, I'm on it, okay?" "It's our worry, not theirs." "No, it's all of our worry." "You know this could mess them up for life." "I just spoke to Jonah, and... and he's fine." "Besides, a little adversity isn't... is not so terrible." " Adversity?" " Yeah." "Did either of us grow up with any advantages?" "Okay, this is not like being picked last for dodgeball," " or failing a class." " I'm not saying that." "Oh, Jesus Christ, Marty." "You can't just rationalize this away." "I know what you think of me right now, and that's fine." "But I love my kids, and I'm not gonna fucking lose them." "Oh, come on." "Where are you going?" "I've got shit to figure out, Wendy." "The Blue Cat alone is not gonna cut it." "Yo." "What's up, ladies?" "Fuck happened to you?" " Nothing." " Chick beat his ass." "Eat a dick, Three." "It was that, uh, Byrde girl." "You just gonna let that little piece get away with that?" "No, Boyd." "You know I don't advocate hitting a woman." "Somebody needs to toughen him up." "Go on, get up." "Hit me." "Right here." " Step off, Boyd." " Come on, hit me in the face." "Just..." "What's that, uh, movie?" "Fuck." "Robert De Niro and the other..." " Step off." " Raging Bull." "Yeah, Raging Bull." "That's it." "Come on, up." "Stand up and hit me..." "I'm asking you, step away from my boy!" " Fuck you, man!" " All right, man." "Chill out." "We're cool." "Chill out." "What is it this time?" " Who fucking knows?" " Is Three fighting, too?" "Nah, he's fine." "He's basically passed out." "Hmm." "What you reading?" "You love that guy, huh?" "Yeah, except this one's non-fiction." "It's about when he had to write the movie for Moby-Dick for some hot-shit director." "Got no fucking rest." "Almost killed him." "You know what I read?" "My phone." "Texts." "That's fucking it." " Hey, I was thinking." " Yeah?" "Maybe, uh... after you, like, invest some of that money or whatever," "I could maybe... borrow some to go someplace?" "Like a vacation?" "Florida or some shit like that?" " Sure." " Yeah." "Or for good, maybe." "Well, where are you gonna go?" "I don't know." "Well..." "Here's what I'll tell you... we're gonna get a lot more than 20 grand soon." "Okay?" "You know, Wyatt... in our world, it's... it's good to be one of the smart ones." "Remember that." "Okay?" "This season for the tri-county region." "The visitor bureau estimates high demand for boats and recreational vehicles." "So make those reservations soon." "And now, a word from our sponsors." " I'm Sarah McLachlan, and I'm here to tell you about an innocent animal who's suffering and needs your help." "You can help rescue her from abusers, help her get medicine, shelter, food and love." "So, please, instead of changing the channel or running to the refrigerator for a snack, call the number on your screen, or go online and help us with a monthly gift, right now." "But not you, Marty." "Not you." "I don't trust you'll care for these animals." "In fact, if you adopt them, they'll die." "So, please, pledge with me now to save these animals." "Just a small act of kindness can help save a life." "For just $18 a month, we'll send the..." "They are eager to join her on the hunt, but still far too young." "They would only endanger themselves and give away her presence." "As prey migrate away from the drying plains... so, too, must the lioness venture beyond her familiar territory... into the territory..." "Goddamn it." "What is it?" "Fuck." "Nothing." "Get some sleep?" "Uh, no, but I feel fine." "What is that?" "Do you hear that?" "Jesus." "Fuck." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Oh." "Oh!" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "That's disgusting." "What, you didn't... you didn't hear vultures in our backyard?" "No." "No." " I wanna know how this got here." " Maybe coyotes?" "Mm-mmm." "Mm-mmm." "Someone would've had to..." "drag it and then leave it." "I'll see if the old man's got a wheelbarrow." " Morning." " Mr. Byrde?" "Yeah." "Trevor Evans, FBI." "Oh." " Have a second?" " How's it going?" " All right." " Sure." "Absolutely." "What can I do for you?" "We're looking into the disappearance of your partner, Bruce Liddell." "The disappearance?" "What do you mean?" "Exactly what I said." "Neither he nor his fiancée have been heard from in almost a week." "Oh, God." "When's the last time you two spoke?" "Um... uh..." "Tuesday?" "Last Tuesday, I think." " What time?" " Uh, I'm not sure." "Disappeared, huh?" "Our records indicate he called you that night at, uh, 11:47 p.m." " Yeah, that sounds right." " That right?" "Yeah, could be." "You spoke for a minute and 12 seconds." "What'd you talk about?" " Well, we didn't." " You didn't?" "No, he left a message." "Uh..." "He, um, he..." "Uh, he said a lot." "He was rambling a bit." "You know, maybe drunk." "Uh, I'd called him earlier in the day, and I..." "I'd told him that... that I..." "I wanted to dissolve the partnership." " Uh, so maybe that's..." " Why'd you dissolve the partnership?" "I, you know, I thought that... that he was maybe doing something illegal." "I don't know." "And why did you think that?" "'Cause he was..." "He just started acting different." "He was nervous about something, definitely, and..." "I caught him making a couple of calls in Spanish." " Do you know Spanish?" " I don't." "Uno, dos, tres." "That's it." "And I had no idea that he did, yeah." "So I asked him about it, and... and he was evasive." "That's what set off the, uh... the... the alarms." "You know, and..." "Hey, hermit crab." "This is so fucked, isn't it?" "Well, Dad's a drug dealer." "If he's a dealer, then I'm a user 'cause I take Advil." "Watch." "Those are Dad's coworkers." "Just stick with porn." "Seriously." "When you think about it, it's always been, uh, a little bit off." " You know." " Here you go, honey." " Oh." "Thanks." " Hello." "Trevor Evans, FBI." " FBI?" "What's going on?" " Yeah." "We believe your husband's partner was murdered." " Murdered?" "Hang on." " Oh, my God." "You said "disappeared." What makes you think he was murdered?" "How'd Bruce take it when you dissolved the partnership?" "Uh, he didn't take it well, like I told you." "So... that's why you emptied your bank accounts and left Chicago?" "No, Sir." "I have a business opportunity here." "What are you implying?" "I think the two of you should know that Bruce was working with us... as an informant against them." "What?" "Who's "them"?" "Come on, Wendy." "You know." "Know what?" "Let's all stop playing this game, shall we?" "It's gotta be exhausting, right?" "The lying, the running." "Aren't you both tired?" "These people are murderers." "They skin people alive... or they... they hang them from bridges to make a point, or if... if they want someone to just... disappear... they dissolve their bodies in acid." "We all know the cartel killed Bruce." "Who's next?" "You?" "Your kids?" "You need to tell us what we want to know." "I don't know anything about Bruce's involvement with any cartel." "We can get you in witness protection." "Keep you safe." "We had an opportunity, and... and we made a choice to move our family to... to a more peaceful place." "Did you have any idea he was working for them?" "What do you think?" "I'm so sorry." "I gotta get the rest of this shit off the yard." "You okay?" "I'm getting used to betrayal." " What are you doing here?" " Working." " What's it look like?" " I didn't hire you." "Take it up with Marty." "Would you look at that?" "Shit's so clean you can eat right off it." "I don't hire criminals." "Well, all I've seen is a hard worker." "2009, a series of off-season break-ins in Osage Beach." "Langmores." "2012, a chop shop in Camdenton doing 15 cars a week." "Langmores." " Should I..." "Should I continue?" " No, I'm sensing a trend." "Okay, good. 'Cause I haven't even gotten to the aggravated assaults yet." "Uh, look, she doesn't work for the Blue Cat." "She works for me." "Well, maybe you wanna talk to me next time." "People deserve a second chance, just like businesses." "If she steals so much as a fork, she is gone." "That there what you meant about another revenue stream?" "Pumping gas on a dock?" "Can't say as it makes me wish I'd gone to business school." "How can I help you?" "Don't tell me you don't recognize me." "You were all up in my titty bar, all full of ideas on how I should go about my business." "What was it that you called yourself, again?" "A silent partner?" "Secret Santa?" "It was..." "some kind of investor." " Angel investor." " Angel, that's right." "You're funny." "Fill her up, son." "I..." "I was told, over the phone, that you had organic pistachio ice cream." "Okay." "Yeah." "So now that I'm here, all-all I see is mint." "Please tell me you have some in the back." " Um, no, Ma'am." "We don't." " What do..." "What do you mean, no?" "No?" "Um..." " I'm sorry, you made a mistake." " I drove an hour and a half to come to this particular supermarket because one of your employees told me that you had pistachio ice cream!" " Yes, Ma'am, I understand..." " No, I don't think you do!" "I mean, is... is mint the same as pistachio?" " No, Ma'am." " Huh?" "Is it?" "Is it?" "I mean, it tastes nothing like pistachio." "One has... has chips, and the other has nuts." "Can you not tell the difference?" "Because I sure as hell can!" "She was calm." "Like her hubby." "They were unified in their story." "I..." "Still not certain it was the right tactic." "Well, by announcing yourself in the front, they won't be watching the back." "And that's presumptuous." "I was going to stay." "Well, and that is presumptuous." " Breakfast tomorrow?" " Too busy." "You're a sociopath." "You know that, right?" "Because I don't wanna be seen in town with a fed?" "I don't wanna blow my cover on day one because my ex-boyfriend, the only black man in a suit, with a badge, for 50 miles, is, what?" "He's too insecure to eat breakfast by himself?" "Take care... agent." "Wendy!" "Unless you have something nice to say, I don't wanna hear it." "I've had a shit day." "What was shitty about it?" "Ice cream, Marty." "I accosted a kid at a store over fucking pistachio ice cream." " Okay." " No, it's not okay." "It's not okay at all." "And I..." "I'm not gonna be a victim over everything that happens." "Especially since I'm responsible for most of it." "Sorry, what'd you say?" "What the hell are they doing so near our house?" "That's probably because Charlotte punched the older kid in the face." " What?" "When?" " Yeah." "Yesterday, I think." "You know, this partnership in parenting thing, it doesn't work unless you tell me what's happening." "Okay." "Just did." "They're trying to intimidate us." "Dead animals pop up." "Now they're stalking us." "Yeah, it's probably 'cause Charlotte, she punched the older kid in the face, um..." "I think yesterday." " Yeah." " Get some sleep, Marty." " Okay." " Yeah." "Nothing good's ever come from deprivation, right?" "Yeah, you're right." "Hello?" "Hello, Sam?" "Sam?" "Hey!" "Welcome." "Thank you for... coming." "Oh." "That's a greeting." "No, no." "It's not that." "It's just..." "You know what, just..." "Never mind." "Is there a problem with the house?" "Is it Buddy?" "Is he just..." "I was wondering if you might want or... or need some help?" "Help?" "Like, selling houses?" "No, no, no, no." "Of course not." "But maybe in the office." "Or, you know, I..." "I could help decorate the homes." "Yeah, I'm good at that." "Uh, so... so let me level with you." "You've seen my inventory." "My niche is sort of rundown spots off the water." "And I was lucky to list Buddy's house." "Plus, my mom stages the houses for me, and she's... pretty territorial." "So..." "And here's the two-two pitch." "Got him with a short." "Hernández up with it and throws him out." "Another one-two-three inning for the young..." " Hi." "I'm Sarah McLachlan, and I'm here to tell you about an innocent animal who's suffering and needs your help." "You can help rescue her, help her get medicine, shelter..." "Let's get some fresh air and figure out how to wash more money." "Something fucking stronger, all right?" "Smoke and mirrors?" "Come on, dickhead." "Come on." "Do I steal?" "Huh?" "What's the play, Bruce?" "What are the rules to this game?" "I don't know it." "A whole new game." "Right, Bruce?" "What do I gotta do, pal?" "What's the play, buddy?" "I tag up?" "Do I steal?" "I need to play a little something different." "Turn off the song, Tuck!" "Just think it through, buddy." "Fuck!" "♪ You always won ♪" "♪ Every time you placed a bet ♪" "♪ You're still damn good... ♪" ""Do not despise these small beginnings," he said." ""For the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." "To see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand."" "God was telling Zechariah... to not worry what folks may think." "That in any situation, He would be there to help build it back up." "He said..." "He said, "Small beginnings can bring down mountains." "And what are you, mighty mountain?"" ""Before Zerubbabel, you will become level ground." "And then... then he will bring out the capstone to the shouts of 'God bless it.'"" "Now, if you'd all open up your hymnals to page 139... let us join together in song." "Thanks for checking on me the other night." "What's that?" "When I was aspirating a lung." "Wasn't that you creaking around upstairs?" "Not checking on me?" "Sorry." "Boy, uh, you know, Buddy... any chance you could start throwing on some trunks?" "You got people in the house now." "Kids." "No." "Nice chatting with you." "The... the kitchen's right around here." "There's such a great feel to it." "It's the perfect starter home to raise a family." " Oh, Sam, hi." "Um..." " Hey." "This is Sam, who's the actual listing agent." "And they just popped in while I was setting up." "That's great." "Hey, um, can I talk to you for just a second?" "Mm-hmm." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "I thought my furniture would be more useful here than in storage." "No, it's... it's great." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "I know how to sell the idea of a happy family." "Mom's gonna be pissed." "Uh, the kitchen is... is right around here." "Mm-hmm." " What?" " You're pretty." "You ever listen to old-school hip-hop?" "Tupac, Eazy, shit like that?" "No, but I will start." " It's my favorite swimming cove." "Okay?" " Okay." "All right, you guys have fun." " Oh, hang on, one second." " Yup." "Looks good, huh?" "It'll look even better at night, obviously, all lit up." "But, um, maybe we don't even need it." "Look at all these people." "We're not even in season yet." "What do you think?" "You like the sign?" "Sure." ""Sure"?" "That's it?" "What am I supposed to say?" "Rachel, you did not have to take my money if you didn't want it." "I know." "Okay." "Don't get my hopes up." "No, honestly, we just..." "we needed a change." "And it's... it's a nice resort." "Well, it's a fixer-upper, that's for sure." "Oh, the kids are great." "Yeah, yeah, they're great." "There's a huge, huge lake here." "So, you know, what's not to like?" "I know." "I..." "I know." "Linda, I have to call you back." "Let me call you back." "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Shh..." "Shoo!" "Fuck!" "Either of you, you fuck with my daughter, you come near my house again, it'll be you the vultures are picking at." "It's melted." "Well, it'll be in the freezer when you want it." "Mom, uh..." ""It's the only loss you could forsake, it's the... only bluff you couldn't fake." "You're still the same."" " What is that?" "Is that Bob Seger?" " It is." "Do you even like Bob Seger?" "Uh-uh." "No, not anymore." "It's not enough." "It's not enough." "What's not?" "I gotta be something else." " Like what?" " I gotta man up." "I gotta..." "I gotta be something else." "It's..." "It's not enough." "Not in three months." "I gotta..." "I gotta take the fight to them." "I gotta get dirty." "I gotta..." " So, what do you want to do?" " Yeah, can you just dance?" "Can you just..." "Can you just face me and dance, and just look me right in the eye, and don't stop." "Okay?" "Okay." "I want you to tell me about your Boss." "I'm a fucking sociopath?" "Me?" "I'm not the drone operator eating Hot Pockets while he bombs a hospital in Kabul." "A satellite killer with plausible deniability, hmm?" "All the while, the number of overdoses in this country just blows up... like a fucking piñata." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "Yeah." "You okay, man?" "Yeah." "Your money's on the table." "You got issues, dude." "So I've been told." "Motherfuckers." " What are you doing up?" " I couldn't sleep either." "Are you okay?" "I don't expect you to forgive me... but I am trying to make everything right." "Okay?" "I know." "You sure?" "Yeah." " Who loves you?" " You do, Dad." "Where you going?" "Mmm." "What the fuck is that?" " What?" " That." "The fucking kitty cats in the cage." "I told you not to touch that fucking money." "They're not kitty cats." "They're bobcats." "Tell her, Russ." "You'd be surprised, the market for exotic pets." "Look online." "They're all over this area." "Make a hundred times what we've spent with the cats." "Get the fuck over there." "You see a pair of balls on either of them?" "Goddamn it, Boyd." "I told you three times to check the undercarriages." "What are they gonna fucking do, scissor each other?" "Why you getting on us?" "We know you been working" " for that Byrde dude." " So?" "Quit while you're behind!" "How you gonna get his money working for minimum wage?" "Fuckin' A." "What?" "Get in there." "Fuck that." "I mean it!" "Now, you disobedient motherfuckers!" "Get in!" "Calm the fuck down, Ruth." "The fuck you doing?" " Very funny." " Shut the fuck up!" "Listen good." "I do have a plan." "I'm working with Martin so I can learn how to launder for us." "When I do, I'm gonna take the money... and kill him." "You got anything to say about that?" "That's a sound plan." "Get some sleep." "Wait a minute." "You..." "You just gonna leave us in here?" "Looks like that." " Fucking idiot." "No, fuck you!" " Fuck you."

"Once upon a time, humans lived with many other creatures, including... monsters." "But humans wanted to monopolise the world, and so they declared war on monsters." "The monsters lost... and were expelled to remote mountains." "They were not allowed to cross the border ever since." "Now, there is a civil war in the monster world." "The old Monster King was killed." "To totally cut off the old king's power, the new Monster King massacred the loyal former ministers." "The old Queen is now pregnant." "Escaping from the killers sent by the new Monster King, she is forced to flee to the human world... under the protection of..." "Surviving supporters." "Legend says that... this expected baby king... will change both the human and monster worlds." "(Monster language) This way!" "(Monster language) Hands off my kid!" "(Monster language) Your Majesty, we're here to save you!" "(Monster language) Watch out, Your Highness!" "(Monster language) I can't walk anymore." "(Monster language) What are you staring at?" "She's my wife!" ""Yongning Village"" "Mayor, hurry up." "Be careful." "I saw it first." "Nonsense." " I picked it first." " Give it to me." " It's perfect for me." " You're too fat." " I'm not fat!" " Our mayor is coming." "Stop fighting." "Here's the mayor." "Mama Li, Auntie Mo, we all live in the same village..." "Shut up!" "It's a mayor's job to..." "Quiet!" " I'm the mayor and..." " Have you sewn the clothes?" "Have you cleaned the toilet?" "Not yet." "Don't go!" "He's our mayor!" "You ladies shouldn't treat him like that." "Mayor, your leg brace." "Xiaowu, sorry." "Go and fix our clothes." "Xiaowu, thanks." "No problem at all." "I'll go deliver now." "Grandma?" "Grandma?" "Grand..." "Who are you?" "Tianyin." "Who is Tianyin?" "Your grandson." "Who's grandson?" "Your son's son." "My son is first-tier palace swordsman Song Daitian." "Let me tell you." "This is our Song family heritage... monster killing sword!" "It's actually more like a toy." "I won't play with you." "You're so dumb." "You don't understand a thing." "Hanging around with nothing to do, you really don't act like a man." "I'm busy every day, sewing and cooking." "Did you practice our Song family special moves today?" "No." "You are such a loser." "Grandma will leave home for a few days... to look for your dad." "Grandma, you've been searching for that guy for years." "Shouldn't you give up?" "Your dad is the hero of the Monster Hunt Bureau." "What kind of hero dumps his wife and son?" "Coward!" "Your dad is... a first-tier palace swordsman." "He left the whole village to you, so protecting the villagers is... my duty." "Then you shouldn't fall short of your dad's... expectations." "See you." "Monsters are not accepted in the human world." "If any of them crossed the border, we used to have the Monster Hunt Bureau take care of them." "And they did such a good job that people nowadays don't know monsters even exist." "Since the last dynasty, almost all monsters crossing the border... were caught." "The Monster Hunt Bureau... became useless and closed." "Great monster hunters like you turned into normal people... and served small businessmen like me." "You were totally wronged." "Now, your time has come!" "If one of you... can grab that expected baby monster king, the monster world will be in chaos... and monsters will flee all over." "Then, the emperor must rely on you all to suppress them," "The Monster Hunt Bureau will be strong again." "Come on." "Let's toast to our great fortune." "Cheers!" "I was so awesome." "I hit his belly with my head." "You didn't see how..." "Hi, how are you?" "Smells delicious!" "We can have something to eat." "Right." "My restaurant is that way." "We have our signature dish, duck blood pudding." "Why do you keep walking around me?" "Stop chatting with this limp." "We're in a hurry!" "Ignore him!" "He's jealous... when I pay attention to others." "Because I'm his... first love." "Why do you tell that to everyone you meet?" "I won't tell you anything anymore!" "He's blushing!" "See, he looks so cute when he blushes!" "You're mean and crazy!" "Let's go!" "He's not going." "But I will." "Fine, fine, fine!" "I'll go." "Our Yongning Village... hasn't had visitors for ages." "Can you tell me... about your adventures?" "Sure." "I'll... tell you... while I eat you..." "This way." "Here we are." "We've arrived." "Please take a seat." "Let me..." "I will get you some water." "Thanks." "Can't wait to eat." "What would you... like to order?" " We..." " Is there any human meat... or human liver?" "It's only me here." "How about eating me first?" "I'll bring you the duck blood pudding." "No one is allowed to leave." "Right." "No one." "Lady." "What's your problem?" "Tell me your names!" "Song..." "Song Tianyin." "Not you." "I'm the gorgeous, elegant and coolest Lily." "When did you make that up?" "Just now." "I like your original name Ying better." "How dare you hit my wife?" "Your skills are medio... cre..." "Still mediocre?" "If I wasn't injured earlier, just a level two monster hunter like you..." "I'll be promoted to level three after I've captured you both." "Little monster, what's your name?" "I am..." "Gao." "Hiding in such a skinny shell... is killing me!" "See, we have serious business, and all you can think about... is eating!" "But that limp smells delicious." "You never learn." "(Monster language) Ma ta ta ku la fa fa." "Foul language?" "(Monster language) You say that again and... (Monster language) I'll kick your ass very hard." "Oh, baby." "You're right." "It's all my fault." "Oh no, Her Majesty fell out!" "Save the queen!" "Freeze!" "I won't look." "I won't look." "I won't look." "Freeze!" "Ying, I'll save you." "Salilongchong Freeze." "Perfect!" "An ma hang." "Luogang!" "They are mine." "How can you say... they're yours?" "Whoever has the monsters... gets the money." "Your Highness!" "Run!" "Luogang!" "This is not fair." "To me, this is totally fair." "Thief!" "I'm the mayor in this village." "You've just killed people." "What people did I kill?" "They're all monsters!" "Monsters?" "Of course." "They're monsters covered with human skin." "Ignorant." "Monsters are the most cunning creatures... in the world." "They hide in human skin, dress as humans... and speak human language!" "Then how can I tell... if you're human or monster?" "So may I ask you something?" "Did you win or lose the fight just now?" "I lost?" "If I lost, you'd have been eaten by them." "Idiot!" "Make dinner!" "I'm hungry!" "I want something spicy!" "Question me?" "How could someone like me lose?" "Can't stop talking, but can cook quite well." "Even though I'm a bit crippled," "I do have great goals." "You know what?" "Cooking is my third ideal job." "How about the second?" "Sewing." "Want to guess what's the first?" "How about the first?" "The first is cooking plus sewing." "I'm a genius, right?" "Why would you catch monsters?" "To make money." "Then why are you alone?" "Want to know?" "Yes." "People who know too much about me..." "I'll have their tongue cut off." "Where're you going?" "I'll sleep in my Grandma's room." "Sheep with me." "I stay here... so that I can sleep with you." "You?" "Hmm." "I'll go to prepare." "You like it this way?" "Will it hurt?" "What?" "What do you expect?" "I'll gouge out your eyes!" "That monster spat on you... to leave a mark, which means she will find you again." "When she comes back, she won't be able to escape my trap." "Mi gu oh." "Nu gu oh ta gu oh." "Tu gu oh ka gu oh," "Yi ya gu oh." "Mi gu oh." "Nu gu oh ta gu oh." "Tu gu oh, let me go!" "Yi ya gu oh." "It can be sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy while you struggle for life." "Living is an ongoing argument with many complex appearances... and cunning souls." "So-called living is just a battle of slaughtering." "Who can ask for living in affluence?" "Don't be greedy while you have enough to survive." "Today you have power." "But tomorrow you may be at the bottom." "You can be rich and healthy now." "Yet you can become poor and sick suddenly." "So be prepared and ready to face any changes." "Not too good." "My life is not too good." "Hard living... keeps trampling on us." "Terrible." "I'm not young anymore." "Like a wretch. cinders, setting sun." "Although acting strong and tough to be in charge, my opponents are even tougher." "Play any extra roles just to get by." "But nothing can be done right." "If you can give me a steamed chicken bun," "I will do anything for you." "To five is not easy at all." "It can be messy and hard." "Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy." "Too complicated in the human world." "It is also not easy in the monster world." "No matter how hard the obstacles are you can get through them if you try harder." "Please help us and give us some rice to eat." "Life is tough but we do have each other." "We have to look for Her Majesty." "She should've gone back to find that limp." "What do you want?" "(Monster language) I'm dying." "(Monster language) I beg you, please save my baby." "Can you speak... human language?" "(Monster language) I'm dying." "(Monster language) I beg you, please save my baby." "Gulugulu Bang!" "Giant monster, I'll capture you." "Freeze." "Freeze." "(Monster language) Please." "Protect my baby." "I come help you." "Run!" "I can't defeat it." "Run!" "Idiot!" "Almost time for dinner." "Xiaowu, someone's entering the village." "I've never seen them." "What is going on?" "Still alive." "Surely costly." "Come, come, come." "Sit, sit, sit-." "Two solutions." "First, be pregnant for nine months." "You'll give birth... sooner or later." "Impossible!" "A man gives birth?" "Just let me die." " Are you sure?" " I'm a man!" "I'd rather die than give birth!" "What a man!" "Bite this." "Why?" "Simply make a cut here... and take it out." "This is the second solution." "If you out it this way, will it be painful?" "I'll cut fast with my sword." "Painless." "No pain... but will I die?" "Hard to tell." "I'll be gentle." "Forget it." "I'd better keep it." "Aren't you a man?" "I'll be one after giving birth." "Awesome." "Trade in a monster inside a human." "Good business." "Then don't complain anymore." "Cripple, put me down." "You're trapped." "I'll go to find help." "Just wait for me here." "Don't let me get you, or I'll kill you for sure." "Gouge out your eyes, cut off your tongue!" "Why so quiet?" "Xiaowu." "Who is it?" "It's Tianyin." "Open the door." "Lots of strangers came today." "They caught all the villagers." "Only you and me... are left." "Don't worry." "Let me come in first." "Mayor." "Who are you?" "It's me." "Xiaowu." "I look different... but I'm really Xiaowu." "Mayor, you must save us." "Your dad promised to protect us." "You said..." "I am your best friend." "Why am I... different?" "Are there any others hiding here?" "Tell me." "Weng ba zha hu lu hu lu." "This is ridiculous." "The whole village is full of monsters." "It seems that" "Song Daitian... tried to secretly protect you." "We did nothing wrong." "We didn't hurt people." "We're all vegetarian." "It proves that Mr Song is right." "Humans and monsters can live together!" "As a former first-tier palace guard from the Monster Hunter Bureau," "Song Daitian complied in public but opposed in private, which is a capital treason offense." "We are not the problems." "We just want to live peacefully." "We're not planning to disturb anyone." "Why can't you... give us a chance?" "I won't argue with you." "What I want is... the monster queen... and the baby she carries." "Who wants to tell me..." "In exchange for freedom?" "Stop asking!" "None ol us will be a traitor!" "Hold on." "Do you mean it?" "Mo, what are you doing?" "None of your business!" "Master," "I know where they are!" "Traitor!" "Say it." "You should behave now." "Otherwise the fire beetle may need to crack another skull." "Get them all." "Grandma left all the villagers to me..." "Just one evening." "Everything is gone." "Be optimistic." "You skill have an egg inside." "Follow me to Shuntian City and sell it." "I can give you 20 percent of the reward." "Money means nothing to me right now-." "That's great." "I admire you." "Then I'll give you 10 percent." "No more bargaining." "Let's go." "Don't eat any more." "Otherwise I'll suffer a loss." "Just deduct it from my reward." "Your noodles." "I want..." "Two more bowls of noodles." "Add sour sauce." "The crazy-sour type." "This is already crazy sour!" "I want the super super super super super crazy-sour." "You're super crazy!" "Wait." "Stop eating." "If Luogang catches you, he'll slice open your belly and take the monster." "Run." "You run... and wait for me at the back door." "How have you been... after rubbing me?" "Where are the two monsters?" "Ran away." "Ran away?" "Pay me back!" "Lower your voice." "Remember the monster who fled that day?" "The egg inside her... is very special." "I think that monster sooner or later... will go back to the Village to look for that guy." "Let's work together... to catch her." "How much is it worth?" "20 taels." "Very special is only worth 20 taels?" "You really know the market." "If you find it, 5... 100 taels." "Wait till you pay me back the money first." "Are we still working together?" "He's got a big belly." "Eating again?" "Do you have money?" "No." "That's why I keep eating... and wait for you to pay." "Five dollars in total." "Preserved ginger, dried salty plum, lemon, hawthorn." "Are you crazy?" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "This monster egg..." "Is... mine!" "Luogang," "You're robbing me again." "How can we work together?" "You lied to me." "Cheater." "Behind you!" "There's a monster behind you." "I'm not lying." "There's a monster behind you." "I'm not lying." "Stupid Luogang..." "If he dies, no one gets any money." "Come help!" "I grab it, you capture it!" "Thank you very much." "Let's go!" "Shouldn'!" "we stay... and help him?" "He's a level four monster hunter." "He should be able to handle it." "Let's go!" "Huo Xiaolan!" "We would like to have a room." "Only an expensive room is left." "Do you want it?" "Yes." "I don't feel like eating." "You go." "Human and monster." "Would their baby... be... a mutant baby?" "Crazy!" "Are you coming?" "Just don't search for food in garbage at night." "At least we should give the baby a name." "One bowl of plain noodles." "How old is he?" "Almost three years old." "Look at him." "So adorable." "It'd be great if I could have one of my own." "Isn't he yours?" "He's this hotel owner's son." "Take him to his parents." "May I have your name?" "Huo Xiaolan." "We're going to Shuntian City... for a very fancy banquet at Heaven Restaurant." "But the main reason is for my husband... to boost his health." "So that I can have a baby-." "Do you understand?" "Yingying." "Yingying." "Why are you here?" "This is my husband Zhengtao." "This is Miss Huo." "Nice to meet you, Miss Huo." "Let me tell you." "We should hire a bodyguard... like them." "They said... if hiring a bodyguard, we should look for those with coins hanging on them... for prestige!" "Okay, you two keep chatting." "I'll go back to my other conversation." "Hurry, hurry." "Be careful." "Freeze!" "What's happening?" " Freeze!" " Oops!" "Wake up, wake up!" "Many monster hunters outside." "Super dangerous." "Let's leave." "What's wrong?" "In labor?" "Probably, probably." "Be quiet." "Not good." " Why are you in labor now?" " What do you think?" "You think... this is my choice?" "What can we do?" "What to do?" "Go find a doctor." "Right, right." "Are you crazy?" "Who'd help you?" "Go find someone!" "How do people give birth?" "How to..." "Scissors, hot water, towels." "I know what we should do." "Don't be nervous." "Relax, relax!" "Follow my instructions." "Breathe out." "Breathe in." "Out." "In" "Out" "In" "Out" "In" "Out" "In" "Out" "In" "You're an animal!" "What are you doing?" "Helping!" "How can you give birth with your pants on?" "Then why are you holding the scissors?" "To cut." "How can you cut with your eyes shut?" "You'd better watch out." "Don't cut it wrong!" "Should I cut it now... or after you give birth?" "Of course after!" "What's there to out now?" "Something is already there!" "I've grabbed it!" "Should I out it?" "You're holding me down there!" "Put down your scissors!" "Relax." "Push!" "The harder I push, the further it comes up!" "No, push it down!" "I feel like my belly is..." "going to explode..." "No, no!" "I give up." "I give up!" "Push, push!" "Push harder!" "Do it!" "Is it Miss Huo?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Thanks." "Someone is outside." "Let it out now!" "Quick!" "Somethings wrong." "Push." "You do it right now!" "Someone's having a baby!" "Stay outside." "Who is she?" "My grandmother." "Your grandmother could still give birth at her age?" "So lucky." "Where's your grandfather?" "He... died." "Then your grandmother is really something." "But don't worry." "Childbirth is my area of expertise." "No." "Although I've never given birth," "I've read many books... and heard so much about it." "I've been preparing all along... lam qualified to give birth and help others give birth anytime." "Excuse me," "I must help." "You gave birth to a white radish!" "Let me see!" "Be careful." "A monster is a monster." "Does it look like me?" "Absolutely." "Exactly the same." "Do you need any help?" "Wake up, wake up." "Good, this is better, darling." "I saw..." "Nightmare?" "Right?" "Excuse us." "We meant to help you." " But..." " Good that Madam is fine now." "How's the baby?" "The baby is great." "How is your grandmother?" "I'm fine." "Thank you." "I've never seen someone stand up right after giving birth." "Where's the baby's father?" "He died." "I'm fine too." "Thank you very much." "The baby is so quiet." "No crying." "Where's Niuniu?" "Niuniu?" "Niuniu may have gone to see the baby." "Does any of you inside see Niuniu?" "Don't hit him." "What's that?" "Is everything okay?" "All good." "Niuniu, you should come out." "Wait." "Oops, Madam faints again." "What's wrong with you today?" "Excuse me." "Wow, really?" "They are monsters?" "Definitely." "If you want," "I can capture them for you." "Capture?" "Go capture yourself!" "Have you two villagers... seen my son Daitian?" "Anybody?" "So hot." "It's having a fever!" "Go get a towel." "Get some water." "Still very hot." "Change water, change water!" "Change again." "Okay, Okay." "The fever is gone... but it's still weak." "Oh, it hasn't had any milk... since it was born." "No cows or goats around here." "What can we do?" "Why are you looking at me?" "You're its morn!" "I don't have milk." "I..." "It'll be sold in two days anyway." "Then..." "Why saved it... when it was ill?" "Because it can't be sold at a good price if it's dead." "Then what is different now?" "Not died ol illness... but is starved to death." "Tum around." "And you all!" "Done." "You do like blood." "I knew it." "What should we do?" "What should we do?" "You're the mother!" "I saw a baby coming out... from her mouth." "A baby can be born from below... and also from above." "Isn't that right, dear?" "What happened, honey?" "What happened?" "What is going on?" "Do you have... some...?" "I told you before." "A monster is a monster." "Don't drink blood anymore." "You must learn." "Otherwise... people will say I didn't teach you well." "Understand?" "Your daddy." "He didn't learn well." "That's why he's so dumb... and knows nothing!" "Your mommy, she didn't have a good education." "That's why no one wants to marry her." "What did you say?" "From now on, you eat fruits and vegetables instead." "Then everyone will love you." "Fortunately those horses are still alive." "Otherwise you would have become a killer." "You carry this all the time." "From your lover?" "My father gave it to me... when I was twelve." "He said whenever I'm scared, if I play it, he'll be there." "Did you try?" "My father never taught me how to play it." "That was the last time I saw him." "So... have you ever looked for him?" "My father was a monster hunter." "But he was killed... by a monster." "When I was a child, my mother suddenly disappeared." "Dad took me to Yongning Village... and left me there." "He went away by himself." "I don't want you." "Go away." "Go." "So the villagers of Yongning Village... are like my family." "Your father..." "He..." "Whoever leaves his son alone... isn't qualified to be a father." "See, all monsters are bad." "Even this little one will grow up to be an evil monster." "Let me teach you." "Somehow we are put together and we become a circle." "This circle has the magic to make everything look pretty." "Even when time flies and changes happen," "Hope the magic will never die." "How can I describe this feeling?" "It's almost like we can complete each other." "But time can be sneaky." "It can tear us apart slowly without us knowing it." "How can we avoid being attacked by time?" "Or can we ask time to help us instead?" "There is a long and unpredictable road ahead." "Can we still keep up with each other?" "How to preserve this bonding forever... and not let it get rotten?" "I hope you cherish and put in your heart... all the special moments we have together." "I will also keep them fresh in my mind... so they can stay beautiful even in tomorrow." ""Shuntian City"" "Do you like it?" "See how much daddy loves you." "Be good... and I'll buy you one more later." "Look!" "Isn't she very pretty today?" "Absolutely!" "You must be having a good game." "I'm invincible!" " Hold on." "Pong!" " Pong!" " Wait!" " Faster!" " I got it." " Pong!" " Pong!" " Pong!" "Pong!" "Your turn." "Hurry up!" " Pong!" " Pong!" " Pong!" " Pong!" "Fat Choi!" " Win!" " What'.7" "How come you guys win again?" "Five tiles of Fat Choi instead of four?" "Show all your hands!" "Sell them?" "Hm!" "Get out!" "Use them to make meat loafs." "You want to do... some business?" "No." "You do look like a radish." "50 taels." "Let's go!" "Let's go somewhere else." "Just name a price." "I know what it's worth." "At least 100 taels." "Put ii in the cage." "And wait here." "Come on." "You're rude." "Lei me." "We haven't named you yet." "Should we not sell it?" "Hurry up." "Tum around." "Let's play hide and seek." "I'll count to three," "I'll hide over there..." "And you hide in the cage." "Then she will look for us." "Understand?" "Let's start." "One, two, three!" "No, you should hide in the cage... like what I do." "No, when I count one, two, three..." "Why are you so rude?" "You want to keep it?" "Yes." "Even few more days would be good." "Few more days?" "The result is still the same after few more days." "Look, look, it cries." "Nonsense." "It's a monster." "What emotions could it have?" "It keeps following us." "Isn't that emotion?" "You cut your fingers to feed it blood." "Of course it'll follow you." "You feed grass to cows and goats." "They'd follow you too." "What kind of emotion... do you call that?" "Who says cows and goats have nu emotions?" "Why do you think only humans have emotions?" "Even if it doesn't have emotions," "I have." "Stop now." "Humans and monsters aren't meant to be together." "That's why you should sell it!" "What is it?" "Go!" "When I first started," "I was like you too." "Do more trading... and you'll get used to it." "Go." "Go." "Let's eat." "You're such a good boy." "I know." "We should name it Wuba." "Can you play mahjong?" "Come on, come take a look!" "Monkey brains are good." "Healthy and... tasty, no cooking needed." "Let's go!" "Where's our little monster?" "Kill me if you can!" "You will beg for... our mercy!" "Pong!" "Pong!" "I'll tell you if you win." "Your turn!" "Eight circles." "Pong!" "Wait!" "Can you slow down?" "I'm not ready yet." "Hurry up." "I've got everything." "What should I do?" "Thirteen orphans?" "Win!" "Win?" "Fooling me?" "Where's the little monster?" "Heaven Restaurant." "It may be getting ready to be butchered." "Let's go!" "Play another round with me." "I still haven't told you the password." "How can you get in?" ""Heaven Restaurant."" "Little guy." "Where are you from?" "How come you're not... wearing any skin?" "No wonder you were caught!" "Wanna get one, huh?" "Look at my skin, so real and smooth!" "Look at mine, so elastic!" "See, it's seamless." "Do this, puff your cheeks!" "Money back guarantee." "Wanna buy one?" "You two are selling skins again?" "Didn't I tell you to take yours off?" "No!" "We won't take it off!" "Go!" "Head Chef!" "What the..." "You guys are too much." "Scared the hell oui of me!" "Pay attention." "The monsters we have today... are so awesome... and delicious." "What's happening?" "What's the problem?" "Head Chef." "We can't open this monster." "Why won't you cooperate?" "No way!" "Listen." "Every monster dies." "Sooner or later, it's just a matter of time." "Be brave, okay?" "No way." "You stubborn monster." "You've asked for it." "Don't cut my buttocks!" "Marvelous." "Monster sashimi," "All ready." "No wonder she's our Head Chef." "Stand still!" "What's with these two monsters?" "They refuse to take off their skin." "Hey gorgeous, you look stunning today." "Your inner beauty is shining as well." "Please let us be at your service." "My goodness." "This kid has a sweet mouth." "Your meat must be tender, juicy... and yummy." "I should cut you first." "Head Chef, could you cook me" "Instead of serving me raw?" "Oh, you're so cute." "As you wish!" "Then we should... soak you in sauces before baking," "Okay?" " Take them away!" " Yes." "Move!" "Head Chef, make sure you don't undercook." "Don't worry." "Write down your last words." "I'll send them to your families." "I have such a good heart." " Head Chef." " Oh, my goodness." "The little monster king everyone's talking about!" "I have something special for you." "Deep fry!" "Yes." "We sure look rich and glamorous." "Sir Zou and Lady Zou, please come this way." "Why do you have to be so skinny?" "Didn't I tell you to eat more?" "Not even big enough to block my small face." "Madam, are you here for curing illness... or boosting your health?" "I..." "You go away." "I'll use the restroom." "Let me show you something." "Luogang, bring my baby boy... to show Madam." "I'm afraid of dogs." "He's my baby boy." "Not a dog." "I prefer cats." "He's my baby boy." "Not a cat." "There's a cat over there." "Go that way, that way." "Go, go, go!" "He doesn't recognize us." "He didn't see us in human form." "Right!" "Where did they go?" "Password." " One, two, three?" " Wrong!" "Five, two, one?" "Wrong!" "Password!" "Stop hitting me." "Stop hitting me." ""Four, "" ""three,"" ""eight."" "Our two honorable guests, this way please." "Why are you... so heavy?" "Hold you to lose weight." "But you keep getting bigger and bigger." "The first appetizer... is monster ears in oil." "First hang the monsters... on the right and upside down for three days and nights, so that all the blood can gather in one point." "Slice not too much, not too little, just that corner of the right ears." "Why don't you two eat?" "I have to go to the restroom." "Restroom, restroom." "I thought... we will have the little monster king... since we paid 300 taels more?" "Today, you all are lucky!" "Little monster king is a newly added dish." "We've been preparing it in the kitchen." "Fantastic!" "That's great." "I also need to go to the restroom... before... we try the special dish." "Excuse me" "Put it in the steamer." "Yes, Chef!" "We are such a team." "Open it." "Yes!" "Still alive?" "I'm doing this for your own good." "It's not fair." "I already tried my best." "Serve it raw." "We're leaving." "Am I too cruel?" "Not at all." "It deserves it." "What's with my face?" "Having a mask is... good for your skin." "Great for moisturizing." "Let's go!" "Xiaowu," "I'm sorry." "Xiaowu is in the kitchen!" "Silly." "Xiaowu." "I know, you will come!" "Mayor, watch out!" "Gulugulu Bang!" "Run!" "I abandoned my friend once." "I'll never do it again!" "I can't beat that guy!" "See you." "You will get killed." "You're a monster hunter." "How come you help an outsider instead?" "He's not an outsider." "He's my husband!" "What?" "Are you serious about... what you just said?" "My dad said." "A man and a woman should keep a distance." "If they kiss, they must marry." "Can we..." "Cannot, cannot." " But..." " No buts!" "I am the only one left..." "in the Huo family." "The responsibility to expand my family... and have children and grandchildren... is now all yours." "Will it be too..." "No, it won't." "We are running out of lime." "I know." "I am under a lot of pressure too." "We will try our best." "Let's try." "Leave me alone." "We can't open this cage." "You two should leave." "Take care, and don't die." "I'm not done arguing with you yet." "Leave!" "Mogadi!" "Run!" "This way!" "Why does it keep chasing me?" "Auntie Mo," "Here are the keys and... please set the other villagers free." "Sure." "Take care!" "Be careful, mayor!" "It's our little king!" "Gao, what happened?" "Oh mama!" "So glad to see you again." "Master, we have something important to do!" "Please let us go." "Do I look stupid?" "He..." "We should save him." "Another monster hunter helps monsters." "Is this food?" "This is the main dish of the banquet:" "Raw baby monster king's brain." " This is worth waiting for" " This dish brings long life and stops you from ageing." "It moves." "Is it alive?" "Eating it alive offers the must benefits." "We feed it with wine and make it half-drunk, then open a hole... on the top of its head." "The best way to enjoy this dish is to... simply eat its brain while it's fresh." "Why are you here?" "You know her?" "Is this a human..." "Or a monster?" "Want to find out?" "Sure." "Grandma, she just helped pulling you out." "Grandma?" "Why are you here?" "Two villagers... brought me here so I can look for my son." "Who are you?" "Tianyin." "Who is she?" "I'm your... granddaughter-in-law." "Grandma." "Come this way." "Tianyin." "Your dad... left this sword for you." "It has enormous power!" "Let me tell you." "It's best for chopping vegetables." "You see..." "It doesn't matter." "After some sharpening," "It can chop monsters easily." "Grandma, how do you sharpen it?" "You use some kind of blood but... anyway." "You see, that guy... over there..." "Fine." "Fine." "Grandma, you stay put." "Wait for me here!" "See you later, Grandma!" "This fire beetle, is an expert in opening the skulls of monsters" "After you finish enjoying the raw monster brain, remember to drink its blood as well." "You know, the blood ol this little monster... will bring amazing results." "Miss Huo!" "Who dares to make trouble here?" "Darling, let's go." "You two leave first." "I can't..." "Leave." "You can't help me here." "Darling." "I thought you're someone more powerful." "But you're just a mediocre level two monster hunter." "Hold on!" "Another one?" "Level ten!" "What does that mean?" "Level ten is the top level of monster hunters." "All these years." "Only three persons have reached that level." "Excuse me, may I have your name?" "My husband... is the Head of former Monster Hunt Bureau Song Zhenjiang." "My son... is palace swordsman Song Daitian." "My grandson Tianyin is... nobody." "You let my granddaughter-in-law down first." "Didn't you say you're a level ten?" "Why don't you save her yourself?" "Fine!" "Yumula!" "The coins are not yours!" "Who says they aren't mine?" "My husband had six, my son had five." "All together I have ten." "Six plus five is eleven!" "It's ten!" "Song Tianyin, if you hand in the little monster," "I'll release them." "If you don't show up," "I'll kill your grandma first..." " and then your wife." " Can you... can you switch the order?" "Wife first... and then grandma?" "Good idea." "Five, four," "three, two," "OHS." "Hold on!" "It's too late." "Grandma or wife, either one must die." "You choose." "I've chosen!" "No more tricks?" "Lord Ge is... a monster?" "He has so many layers of skin." "No wonder we couldn't tell he's a monster!" "He's so ugly." "I put on the skin to disguise as human... in order to get rid of the surviving supporters... of the old Monster King in the human world." "Now you've forced me to reveal myself." "You all have to die!" "Grandma!" " Grandma!" "Be careful!" "Granddaughter-in-law, your father-in-law... left you this sword!" "Best fur chopping vegetables." "Tianyin!" "Tianyin, stop fooling around." "Song Tianyin, wake up!" "My dad has left me already." "Please don't leave me alone." "I order you to wake up now." "Otherwise I'll gouge out your eyes, cut off your tongue, pull out your tendons... and tear off your skin." "I was so used to being alone." "If you can't be with me, why did you let me feel good to have you around?" "I need you to be around." "Huo Xiaolan!" "Tianyin, use the Song family special moves." "Monsters... will soon conquer the human world." "Thank you." "Tianyin." "You truly met your dad's expectations." "He?" "Tianyin." "This first coin... was left to you by your dad." "Others... you will have to earn on your own." "Six plus five... equals ten!" "The extra one... is for me." "Are you sure?" "Once you take this coin, you are a monster hunter." "Yes!" "Good!" "Don't go!" "Grandma." "Come back!" "Come back!" "They ate our baby king already?" "We are too late." "Follow them to a remote place... to rebuild a Yongning Village." "You'll only be safe... with them." "I really want you to be with me." "But that would only hurt you." "Even if I dress you up as a human, sooner or later, people will find out." "And that would be very dangerous for you." "Humans still can't accept you." "Understand?" "Don't let others call you a radish anymore." "Even though you do look like one." "Remember, you've got your own name." "It's Wuba." "Go." "Leave." "Go away!" "I don't want you!" "Go!" "I don't want you!" "Just go." "Don't follow me!" "You let a monster go." "How can you be a monster hunter?" "There are good monsters and bad monsters." "I only catch the bad ones." "Come to think of it, you're my man now." "From now on just do... what I tell you." "Where are we going?" "I want to look for my dad." "I would like to know more about him." "Let's go." "Let me carry it." "I'll carry." "I'm starving." "Waiter, do you have any human meat or human liver?" "It's just me here." "How about... eating me first?" "Where do you think..." "Wuba would live?" "I don't know." "Then how can we go to visit him?" "I've marked on our calendar when to visit him." "His one month old party, his birthday." "Mid-autumn festival, new year and many, many other festivals..." "Keep walking and don't stop." "Although it is unpredictable and mysterious." "Have faith and don't be afraid of..." "The hard and tough times that may some." "Be ready for all kind of challenges." "Don't hide in the dark and worry." "You will keep on learning... while you see many new things." "Be strong and move forward... even when you are in the middle of a storm." "Be brave and I will be with you." "If somehow you make a mistake, you should also learn from it." "Then you will grow to find your way." "Mi gu ba, we feel wonderful." "Nu gu ba, we are delightful." "Don't be shy and let's rock together." "We will spread our spirit to everyone." "Not afraid of the heat." "Not afraid of anything tough." "We want to be loud and we don't care." "Not afraid of anything." "Whatever happens happens." "Let's not waste time on arguing... at all." "Whether you are tall or short." "Whether you are elegant or down to earth." "It doesn't matter... cause somehow someone will like you... just the way you are." "Not afraid of the heat." "Not afraid of anything tough." "We want to be loud and we don't care." "Not afraid of anything." "Whatever happens happens." "Let's not waste time on arguing... at all." "Mi gu ba, would love to have something sweet..." "Ka ka gu ba, would love to keep moving." "We feel good... and we want to have fun." "Don't worry about what others think." "Come on, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance!" "Dance, dance, dance, dance," "Dance, dance. dance!" "Dance with Wuba." ".srt Subtitles by Dan4Jem X.AD.MMXV"

" I guess we're done here..." " Yes, we are." " I didn't actually steal it..." " I'll find my own way out." " Bye, bye." " Bye!" " What did you do?" " I wanted to turn down the stereo." "The owners came running and started threatening me." "Honestly..!" " That could be them." " Stop it." "If one immigrant has spotted me, they get their whole network going!" "Frank, where the hell are you?" "I'm sitting here with Jarl." "Why aren't you answering your cell phone?" "Call me!" "My cell phone..." " What about it?" " I left it in the car." " I'm hungry." " I couldn't eat anything right now." " There it is!" " Is that the one?" " Is it the immigrants?" " Yes." "They're here." "Don't stop." "Keep going!" " Go and talk to them." " Hell no!" " They look nice." " Yes, but they're not." "Go!" "Alright, alright..." "Why didn't you go and talk to them?" " I've already tried." " God, you look stupid like that." "Hi, Claire." "It's Frank." "Could you do me a favour?" "Could you set up a meeting with our Import-Export neighbour?" "No, not at the office." "At Café Endestationen." "I might be able to help you." "I know some of the guys." " That would be super." " But then you owe me one, right?" " You're my man." " I'd like to appear in a movie." "I've got dreams of becoming an actor." "The only thing we've got right now is a Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen project." "The dumbest thing ever." "He wants to do "Matador", the animated version." "That sounds cool." "Hook it up, and we've got a deal." "Yes, but "Matador" doesn't have any... ethnic characters." "In that case I'll have to tell them where you live." "We can't have the Import-Export guy sitting in." "He wants to join in." "Ataf wants to be an actor." "What the hell would he be doing?" "Korsbæk didn't have any immigrants." " Is it really that important?" " I'm in the shit." "Can you vouch for him?" "Have you heard him?" " No." " You've never heard him act?" " But he needs to save my butt." " Yes, and I'd like to help." " Does he speak Danish at all?" " Yes." " Hi." "How did it go?" " Excellent." "I think I'll go over to the Immigrant's Centre and get my phone." "Hello?" "Hi..." " What's up?" " Well... here I am." "I understand that Ataf has talked to you, and..." " It's cool." "What were you thinking?" " I wasn't thinking at all." "You totally panicked." "You can't just start a car and drive off." "I'm sorry." " Ataf said you had my cell phone." " Yes." "It's right there." "Please step back and take your shoes off." "It's Arab custom." " Never enter with your shoes on." " I'd like to keep them on." "You have to respect Arab culture." "You can't just diss it." "Okay." "Holes in your socks?" "Where's your style?" "We've got a nail at home that keeps tearing them." " My cell phone..?" " It's here." "There you are." " Thank you very much." " It's just the parking ticket, then." "You parked in the wrong place." "I got a parking ticket. 510 kroner." "I want the money right now." "I guess I'll have to pay that." "So there's no bad feelings." "I don't have any money on me." "I'll go find a machine and come back." "I want the money right now." "End of story." "Of course." "You shouldn't get stuck with a ticket." "Reza..." "I want the money now." "Come closer." "You stole my car." "I want the 510 kroner for the parking ticket." "Does anyone have a knife?" "Please keep the hole really tiny." " I hope we won't meet again." " Me too." "And don't forget to change your socks!" "H i, Frank." " Mia tells me you did well." " What's that?" "I'll take that." "See you." "I owed them a parking ticket." "They threatened me and took the money." " Were they after you?" " After me?" "I could have died!" "Really?" "Hi, Casper!" "Hi, Frank." "How's it going?" "Ataf." "What's happening, Jarl?" ""The Earl" and all that..!" "Yes, well..." "Have a seat." " Who the hell is that?" " That's the guy I talked about." " Doing what?" " Mr. Schwann." " You can sit there." " Hi." "I'm Ataf." "Welcome, everybody." "Grab a bite." "In front of you is the first version of "Matador:" "The Cartoon"." "Here are the two moneymen..." "Ib Tardini and Bo Ehrhardt." "Let's give out the roles." "Iben, who do you think you are?" " Ingeborg!" " Yes, of course." " Frank is going to be Boldt." " Yes, those are my orders." "I'll do Mads Skjern." "Then I'm connected to Iben." " And I'll do Swan." " "Schwann"." " Schwann..." " Mr. Schwann, yes." "Intro:" "Korsbæk, early morning." "Fade-in." "A cock crows in the distance." "Church bells are ringing." "Mads is trying on a shirt." "Ingeborg is watching him." "We move into a close-up of his cufflinks..." "Jump cut, cue Ingeborg!" "Jump cut, cue Ingeborg!" " You can't wear that, Mads." " Why not, I wonder?" " We don't have to save all the time." " No." "Just look at Ellen..." " She's young, Mads." " As if that's an excuse." "Fade to black." "Cut to railway hotel, backlit." "A train whizzes by." "The sound of the train..." "Then he comes." "Mr. Schwann goes to his regular table." "Boldt, the waiter, greets him." "Good morning, Schwann." "The bird is chirping today." "Well, you can keep your bird." "Where is Korsbæk Tidings?" "Not so loud, Latif." "Come again." "Good morning, Schwann." "The bird is chirping today." "You can keep your bird." "Where is Korsbæk Tidings?" ""You can keep your bird." It's one whole sentence." " Exactly, Iben." " But nice try, I thought." "Let's try and move on." " I think Artuf understood." " Ataf." "Cue Boldt: "Easy now..."" " Easy now." "The pig dealer has it." " The pig dealer?" "Oh dear!" " That was good." " It's their very first reading..." " Mr. Schwann to the pig dealer..." " There seems to be a mistake." " You have got my paper." " Would you care to swap for a dram?" "Well, I never!" "Spi..." "Well, I never!" "Spirits at the breakfast table!" " Good morning, gentlemen." " Good morning, Colonel Hackel." "Not "Hackel"." "Are you the only one in Denmark who hasn't seen "Matador"?" "Casper, what..?" " Why don't we just..?" " Why don't we just what?" "I can't see those two sitting at the end of the table now." "Can you?" "I have to admit I'm disappointed." "Yes, it wasn't..." "I think we..." " We went aground with Latif." " Ataf." "Isn't that the problem?" "That's where it went wrong." "Yes, I wasn't too happy with Schwann." "Or with Colonel Hackel..." " It must be one hell of a pear." " It's not bad, actually."

"Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything... and the one son who had no choice... but to keep them all together." "It's Arrested Development." "Michael Bluth arrived home to find his mother, Lucille..." " in a state of agitation." " I think the company's in trouble." "What tipped you?" "The falling profits... or that we're a regular feature on Bill O'Reilly's "Most Ridiculous Item of the Day"?" "I'm talking about the fact that my "friend" Lucille Austero bought our company... and I think she's going for a power grab, that bitch!" "You're not at home, Mom." "She doesn't live next door when you're here." "Secondly, she's already grabbed power." "She's the majority shareholder of the company." "Your brother Gob." "In fact, Lucille 2 was already with Gob" " You look really nice." " but she was growing tired ofhis neediness." " Where are you going?" "I'm going to my spin class." "Thought you had vertigo." "She'll sell the company or break it up into little parts or something... all under the guise of "caring" about our family." "Gotta stop quoting when you drink." "I certainly hope she's not planning a move." "I wouldn't put it past her." "She'd love to get at me any way she could." "That's why she's been flirting with Gob." "She's trying to prove that she's closer to my children than I am... but the joke's on her, because she doesn't know how little I care for Gob." "Think that makes the joke on Gob." " Hey, Dad." " Hey, buddy." "Was that Gangy who was just" "You all right?" "Sorry." "Your grandmother had a little accident here." "Oh." "Does that mean she's gonna have to come live with us?" "No, no." "No." "It was" " It was her drink, and even if it wasn't, just" "Do you remember when I bid on Sally Sitwell at the bachelorette auction?" "They sent me this basket with all this stuff for our date, you know." "It's a whole package." "I thought that maybe we could do it together, like a Valentine's present." " You're not gonna take Sally?" " Sally, no." "No." "L-I wanted it for us." "I never wanted to be with Sally." "Actually, Michael had gone over to Sitwell Enterprises" " Michael Bluth to see Sally." " one day earlier to set up a date with Sally." "I'm afraid she's not here." "If you'd like me to take the package, I can give it to her." "No, no." "This is, uh- This is not for her." "It's for my son." "Just don't tell her I came by." "In fact, Sally wasn't there... and the person Michael saw was her father." " You kidding?" "This makes me look like my daughter." " No one's going to think that." "I look like Edgar Winter." "Forget it." "I gotta get to spin class." "So what do you say?" "We got a basketful of father-son fun here." " What's Kama Sutra oil?" " Maybe it's not for us." "Ah, Valentine's Day, which" "Oh!" "Was your mother here?" "Here." "You all right?" "I'll help you up." "Oh, that is quite a basket you've got there, Michael." "That Sally Sitwell is one lucky lady." "Well, I'm" " I'm not so sure that she's actually..." "right for me, anyway." "But you got one of these too, didn't you?" "Y-You bought Lindsay at the same auction." "Well, yes, but I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad... on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will." "So now I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands." "It's just-There's so many poorly chosen words in that sentence." "Tobias wanted to make sure that everything was perfect for Lindsay... so he went to check it out first." "Oh." "Body chocolate." " It's a wonderful package." "I'll take it." " You just did." "Why don't you take this?" "I don't have anyone to go with anyway." "Can you imagine how jealous that would make her?" ""Where's Tobias?"" ""Oh, he's just sharing a romantic horseback ride with Michael Bluth... and they're dipping each other in"" " Oh, you didn't get any body chocolate." " L-I didn't mean with me." "L-I hate to see you struggle like this." "In fact, why don't you let me ask her for you?" "Well, Michael, you really are quite the Cupid, aren't you?" "I tell you, you can zing your arrow into my buttocks anytime." "Okay." "You know what you do?" "Buy yourself a tape recorder." "Record yourself for a whole day." "I think you're gonna be surprised at some of your phrasing." "Butterscotch!" "Want a lick?" "And later, Lindsay stopped by the office at Michael's request." "Great." "Thank you." "Listen." "I want you to take..." "my romance package at the Four Seas Hotel." " Oh, yea!" " That's great." "Tobias is gonna be thrilled." " Oh." "I have to go with Tobias?" " Lindsay, your husband really wants this to work." " Come on." "Let me play Cupid this year." " I thought he went already." " I'm giving you mine." " Because you're afraid to ask Sally Sitwell to go with you." "That's not true at all." " Mmm?" "Chaw-chee-chaw, chee-chaw." " What is that?" "Is that a chicken?" " What's this?" " Oh." "Michael's scared to ask out Sally." " No, I'm not." " Chaw-chee-chaw" " This is priceless." "You too." "This is great." "Come on." "These aren't even birds." "I am not-That's enough." "There are people working." "Listen, I think that Lucille 2 is up to something." "Mom said the same thing." "I thought she was ticked off'cause you're seeing her." "What?" "You're seeing Lucille 2?" "Does Buster know?" "No." "And I'm not." "Just don't tell people" "I'm playing the part of the gigolo so that she'll keep the company afloat." "But something weird happened yesterday when I was trying to find a way out of there." "Hello?" "In fact, it was Stan Sitwell calling her... as he'd become quite taken with Lucille 2 himself." "It all makes sense." "Why else would Sally Sitwell be avoiding me?" " She thinks you're a loser." " And why would Lucille 2 be so distant toward me?" " 'Cause she knows you're a loser." " I think it's pretty clear." "Lucille 2 and Sitwell are working on a business deal." "Lindsay, I'd like for you to go over to Sitwell and see what you can find out." " I can't go there again." " Why do I have to do that?" "Because you've been helping yourself to the company money for some time." "It's not like you do anything for the family anyway." "Gob doesn't do anything for the family." "Hey, I'm- Lucille 2." "Oh." "I could do something like that." "This is what Dad was really good at- getting us out of tight spots." "In fact, at that very moment, George Sr. was in a tight spot... as he'd gotten himself wedged under the furnace... while chasing after a sour ball that had rolled out ofhis pocket." "Eventually, Michael rescued him." "I'm starting to worry she's gonna sell us out." "I think the answer to this problem is money." "Now, this may just be me having my head against a hundred-degree furnace for an hour... but maybe we should bring in Jack Dorso." " UncleJack?" " Well, no." "He's not my uncle." "He's, uh, my dad's friend." "But, uh, this guy has got a fortune." "Jack Dorso first achieved success in the '40s... as a costar of the radio and then film serial," " Nazi Hunters." "There are two Nazis up there in that dance hall." "Shoot me." "Happy Valentine's Day, Nazis." "When the actor who played Red McGibbon... was jailed for his Communist sympathies..." "Jack Dorso made one attempt at a solo Bullet feature." "But the audience was not ready to accept Bullet as a romantic lead... despite his powerful upper body." "So he started a chain of gymnasiums... having stolen the idea from Red during a prison visit." " And as the years passed" " Hey, Jack!" "He became well-known for his annual birthday feats of strength." "Five pounds for each year of my life." "Sadly, he lost the use ofhis legs on his 70th birthday" " Release!" " at the newly-remodeled Jack Dorso's in Albany, New York." "Too much!" "If he's got so much money, how come we never called him before?" "But I have." "I mean, there wouldn't be a Bluth Company without him." "I could never have afforded that first tract of land." "But he always wants something in return." "I don't know." "See if you can talk your mother into taking another bullet for the Bluth family." "The family gathered at Lucille's to welcome and solicit UncleJack." "And remember, he wasn't really their uncle." "Buster." "Nice of you to take a break from that common whore you've been dating." "She is not a whore, Mother." "She happens to be the new secretary of the Bluth Company." "And, yes, she's more experienced than a normal girl." " But sometimes love should be terrifying." " In fact..." "Buster had even started using his army stealth training." " Buster." "I'll be right in, and then maybe we can talk about" "Makin' that love." "I shouldn't complain." "It's better than you dating Lucille 2, that bitch!" "Lucille 2's not a "B,"Mother." "She's kind, and she's caring... and she's certainly less experienced than that whore that I'm dating now." "And perhaps it was screaming it out loud... that made Buster realize that he missed Lucille 2." "I'm wondering if you can keep some of the more piercing profanities down... when the 90-year-old fitness buff gets here?" "You know, Michael, I was happy to call UncleJack for you... but that's as much as I'm going to do." "If you know what I mean." "I need a more vital man." "Someone order 140 pounds of upper-body strength?" "Well, he certainly sounds vital to me." "Walk, Dragon!" "Walk!" " Enter the room!" " Welcome, UncleJack." "He's half deaf." "It was a stupid, stupid hire." "Not "higher." Eye level!" "Eye level!" "Kisses, and then we talk." "Which one is Michael?" " Uh" " Swoop me!" "Oh." " I, uh, really appreciate you coming over, UncleJack." "Thank you for having me." "You may be amazed." "Uh, I'm invited into very few personal homes." "To the nuts!" "The bridge mix!" "The bridge mix!" "Fool!" "Hey, fake UncleJack." "Is this the boy?" "Is this the little one?" "My God, you're an army man." " Well" " I was never in the army." "I was in the pictures." "Here comes UncleJack." "Shoot me!" "Oh, God!" "Look at that." "I pinned him." "I pinned the army man." "God bless you for being in the army." "Up, Dragon!" "Lift." "Lift with vigor." " Remember me?" " Lucille." "You look younger than you did the day I" "Oh, you old fool." "I'm Lucille." "You look fabulous." "Back to the blonde." "Back to the blonde." "Isn't she beautiful?" "Oh, yeah." "He's kind of scary, that guy, huh?" "Not to me." "I think he's kind of cool." "Well, why don't you go get your kiss from Mr. Cool Half-Man?" " I'd be fine with that." " Let's go." " So what's your point?" " Come on." "Why, she's no bigger than one of my legs." "Shake them for her." "Excuse me, UncleJack." "I'm George Michael." "It's okay." "Just ignore it!" "Ignore it." "Just something the body does when you're shaken." "Don't shake it!" "Don't shake it!" " Towel!" " Not the good ones!" "Is he dying?" "What if he's dying?" "Boy, that Dragon's cute, huh?" "What, the deaf giant who's holding our fake uncle?" "He's been flirting with me all night." "I was thinking maybe it would be best for the family... if I went on that romance thing with Drag instead ofTobias... which would be a drag." "Yeah, that's just the kind of joke Drag can't hear." "No, you're gonna go with Tobias or not at all." "Now tell me what you found out at Sitwell." " Oh." "You still want me to do that?" " You didn't?" "Lindsay, I give you one thing to do for the business, and you can't even do it." "I mean, if you'd tried and failed, I'd understand, but you didn't even try." "So, I didn't even fail, and I don't see you giving me credit for that." "Michael knew that since Lindsay let him down... he had no choice but to ask UncleJack for the money to save his company." " Pretty." " Yes." "Do you think you should be perched on the edge of the building like this?" "Oh, Dragon's got me." " Dragon's in the bathroom." " Mama!" "Come on." "I got ya." "I got ya." "It's okay." "And so Michael laid out his dilemma." "...family company get ruined." " I was hoping that this was a social visit" " Well- particularly when that sister of yours started giving me the cutie eye." "She did?" "Unfortunately that moose was holding me, so I couldn't make my move." "Of course I couldn't make that move without that moose, but that's my challenge." "I won't go wheelchair!" "Twirl me around." "Hey, hey." "No." "I got you." "I got you." "You all right?" "But Valentine's Day is here, and I'm alone." "The moose is no one." "Perhaps if I had a little... companionship..." "I'd be a little more disposed to whip out... that old wallet of mine." "You're saying if I were to set you up with my sister..." " you would consider bailing us out?" " Oh, joy." "Yeah." "Michael was torn." " The business meant the world to him, but his sister's honor" " Let's do it." " uh, meant a lot too." " Let's go share the good news." "Michael had offered his sister to his UncleJack... in exchange for money to save the company." "Remember, it's not their real uncle." " He's cute, isn't he?" " So cute." " Imagine him without that muscly little old guy in his arms." " Oh, Dragon." "Right." "Well, that's why I was thinking maybe you should go with Dragon on that romantic getaway." " Oh." " Now, I know he's working... so UncleJack's gonna have to go along." "Oh." "Well, as long as he promises not to shake him." " Mmm." " So, what did he say about the money?" "He said he'd like to sleep on it." "Meanwhile, Buster had decided to pursue a new girlfriend:" "His old girlfriend." "Hey" " Brother?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm keeping an eye on the woman who controls our company." "In her robe and slippies?" "Getting into her head." "I think she's planning on selling our company to Stan Sitwell." "But I've lost her trail, and I don't think I have the skills to pick it up." "Skills?" "These kind of skills?" "Not really." "But if you give me one of those outfits, we can hide in the bushes and spy on them." "I would like to see her again." "You've got it." "And Michael told his father the good news about UncleJack." " You are pimping out your sister?" " You were pimping out my mother." "Yes, because she was sleeping with my brother, but your sister?" "Everything's gonna be fine." "No one's gonna get hurt." "No one is going to get hurt." "Oh." "Hey, Michael." "My dad wanted me to thank you for the romantic getaway." "Don't tell me what that means." " Where is your dad?" " He left, dressed all western-y." "You could leave me out of that part too." "And Michael realized that perhaps somebody would get hurt." " I just screwed my brother-in-law." " Well, I'm all grown up now." "So Michael rushed to the Four Seas Hotel... to keep Tobias from finding out about Lindsay's date." "Michael, this is Jeff." "He does all the horse work here." "You'll meet him again at the end." "Plus, he gets you your juice." "Not your first juice, but the one you get at the spa." " That's right." "You've done this before." " But not with a lovely lady." "Jeff doubts one's coming at all, don't you?" "Sorry." "Sorry." "About the lovely lady" "Stop." "You dropped the boot." "Dropped the boot." "Michael came up with the only evasion he could think of." "Tobias, the lovely lady, she's gonna be a little bit late." "She's doing some work." "She said to get started without her." " Saddle me up, Jeff." " It's gonna take a few minutes to tack another horse." "So Michael embarked on the romantic adventure he'd spent so lavishly for." "Well, you certainly didn't help with my reputation as a lady's man with Jeff." "But we'll clear all that up in the spa when I get my facial." "Hey, did you ever get that tape recorder?" "You're funny." "Come on, boy." "Hoo-cha-cha!" "Soon the next group began their romantic date." " So nice of you to cover this, UncleJack." " My pleasure." "It's nice to do something you don't need legs for." "Towel!" "And Lucille 2 showed up with Stan Sitwell... who did look a little like Edgar Winter." "And one by one, they each enjoyed the activities of their romantic getaways." " Body chocolate?" " No." "Of course, in the spa... thejets proved too powerful for UncleJack's tiny legs." "The spa portion also proved challenging to Stan Sitwell and Lucille 2... who in turn were being followed by Buster... and Gob." "And soon, Michael and Tobias awaited their massage therapists." "So, uh, Tobias..." "I'm afraid that your wife might not actually end up here with you." "You know, Michael, perhaps I should buy you that tape recorder." "Do you have any idea how often you say the word "afraid"?" "Well, I know I used it in theJacuzzi." "And I apologize for that." "I thought it was a pool toy." "But you were supposed to be here with Sally Sitwell... but... you were afraid to ask her." "So what do you do?" "You create issues, and you make up imaginary problems... like this merger I hear you're worried about." "Well, uh, you're probably right" "About me being afraid of the word "No," but" "You know, the merger's real." "I'm not imagining that." "Lucille!" "Michael." " Michael?" " What are you doing here?" "Following Lucille 2." "She's with Sitwell." "She probably figured that we'd never track her." "But we lost her." "Everyone put on white robes and outsmarted us." "Lucille!" "Lindsay?" "Lindsay." "Wait, wait, wait." "Lindsay's here?" "With two men?" "Sort of one and a half." "Tobias." "Hey, Tobias!" "Lindsay, look." "L" " Oh." "Lucille 2." "I'm sorry." " And, miss, I don't know your name." " Tobias?" "Lucille?" "Sitwell?" "What's this?" "It's our romantic getaway, Michael." "Romantic?" "So, then the company isn't being taken over... so Lindsay doesn't have to be with UncleJack?" "Oh, Tobias." "We gotta stop Linds-Tobias?" " How'd you like to take a nap, baldy?" " I'll handle this." "She's my girlfriend, pal." "Take him down, Buster." "Your girlfriend?" "That's why you were in her robe and slippies." "You weren't trying to get into her head." "You were trying to get into her..." "robe and slippies." "She's my girlfriend!" "So this is who you choose over me?" "She's not with him." "She's with the Bullet." "Oh, thank God." "But if you want a fight, you got it." "Shoot me!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Look, I wasn't trying to sell your company, but I am now." "The hell with all of you." "I'm gonna try and lowball her." " Not while we're around." " We're not done here, Gob!" "Tobias?" "Tobias, I'm sorry." "I set this up for Lindsay." "Lindsay, I'm sorry." " You were not on a date with Dragon." " I know that, Michael." "It was pretty obvious when Dragon kept swooping UncleJack in for a kiss." "You said I never did anything for the company." "L-I just thought I'd try." "Tobias, I never thought you'd ever fight for me." "I had no idea a 90-year-old man could cave in my chest cavity like that." "Dragon, would you mind carrying my husband to the car?" "Oh, God." "I love takin' a guy down!" "I think I snapped one of his ribs." "No." "It's my leg." "I'll bet that would hurt." "I guess the deal's off now, now that I actually need you to help us out?" "I'll make you a deal." "You carry me, and I'll carry you." "Thanks, UncleJack." " Yeah." "I think we should get to the hospital." " Let me see." "I think this duct tape is the only thing that's keeping the ankle on." "Okay." "Ah." "Right around there." "Oh." "I think you're right inside me now." "On the next Arrested Development." "UncleJack buys the company... but makes some changes ofhis own." "And he's gonna make me president." "Tobias listens to a day's worth ofhis own words... to see what Michael was referring to." "Even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up." "Nothing wrong with that." "I've been in the film business for a while... but I just can't seem to get one in the can." "It's out of context." "I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks, so to speak." "And he realizes there is something distinct about the way he speaks." "Tobias, you blowhard!"

" No doubt, Jeeves, you've noticed the family resemblance." " Many times, sir." "Thank you." "[Coughing]" "Better now, sir?" "There, there." "Thank you." "Ah, to have lived in those days of romance." "I've got it, Jeeves." "We're going to Deauville in search of the great adventure." "But I'm not ready for the great adventure, sir." "I want to live a little longer." "In view of this, sir, I feel I must give my notice." " Notice?" "Jeeves, am I hearing correctly?" " Yes, sir." "You mean you're considering leaving my entourage?" "Only with the deepest regret, sir." " Then don't be an idiot." "Why leave?" " Sir, to tell you the truth... your romances have given me, as well as you, a severe case of nerves." "Jeeves, what romances?" "Do you remember a lady named Lola we met in Madrid... and her brother, the knife thrower?" "Yes, I do remember vaguely." "I have better cause to remember, sir." "It was my coat his knife pinned to the back door." "Jeeves, you can't complain about that." "I got you a new coat, didn't I?" "Oh, quite, sir." "Then there was that woman in Algeria." " Yes, she was sort of dark." " Roast beef, rather well done, sir." " Jeeves, I remember something." " Perhaps about her father who surprised us, sir." " Yes, an irritable egg." " Fortunately a bad shot... or I might otherwise have permanently resided in Algeria." "But, Jeeves, all these are mere indiscretions of youth." " After all, I didn't marry any of the ladies." " Quite, sir." "But as you're contemplating further adventure..." "I feel I must leave you in the morning." "Very well then." "Leave, dash it." "Is there anything else you desire, sir?" "Well, you can take all those drums away." "I'm not allowed to play them anymore." "Very good, sir." "[Bell Jingling]" " Who do you wish to see, madam?" " Oh, excuse me!" "Excuse me!" "Please close the door." "Close it." "Hurry!" " Anything the matter, madam?" " May I see your mistress?" " My mistress, madam?" " Yes, Madam Wooster." "This is her home, isn't it?" "This is the residence of the Honorable Bertram Wooster." " There is no Madam Wooster." " Oh." "[Woman] Of course, how foolish of me." "It completely slipped my mind." " May I see Mr. Wooster, please?" " Mr. Wooster, madam, is not at home." " Oh." "Then I'll— I'll wait in here." " Sorry, miss." " But you can't wait here." " Why do you say I'm not at home when you know I am?" " Hello." "How are you?" "Won't you come in and—" " Yes, thank you." " Can I give you a little whiskey and soda or something?" " Just some tea, please." "That'll be all, Jeeves." "Just bring a little tea." "I'll park the portmanteau for you." "Won't you sit down?" "I'd better take this coat that's all wet." "Get that dried off for you." "Here we are." "And that ridiculous little hat." "Get a footstool and put your feet up." " Get your shoes off because I know they must be wet." " Oh, that's so good of you." " Can't let you get pneumonia, you know." " Oh!" "I didn't mean to tickle you." "Just wanted to see your socks weren't wet." "It's so good seeing you again." "Yes, isn't it?" "Where did we meet before?" "At Brighton." "Your brother introduced us." "My brother?" "At Brighton?" "Oh, yes, my brother at Bri— Have you seen him lately?" " Seen who lately?" " Well, my Brighton brother." "Oh, your—your brother." "Yes." "Well, what about him?" " Well, how is he?" " Oh, splendid, splendid." "Well, that is good news." "I'll go and get those things dry." "You just stay there." "Now, don't run away." "I'll be back in just a minute." "Oh." " Jeeves, our trip is off." " I beg your pardon, sir?" "Why go to Deauville when romance is here in my own house?" "Isn't she lovely?" "Do you happen to know the young lady's name, sir?" " What's in a name?" "A rose by any other smell—" " Yes, I remember the quotation." " Take this funny little thing." " Where shall I put it, sir?" " I don't know." "Dry it." "Do something with it." " Yes." " Jeeves, have I got a brother?" " Brother?" "Certainly not, sir." "I thought not, but one never can tell these days, can one?" " And, Jeeves, have I ever been to Brighton?" " Never, sir." "It's too bad." "Lot of people are very nice in Brighton." "Undoubtedly, sir, yes." "[Footsteps Approaching]" "Well, old thing, the tea will be ready in just a minute." "Oh, my goodness." "Oh, dear." "Shh." "She's asleep, Jeeves." "[Whispering] It's getting rather late." "Don't you think we ought to wake her up?" " Never wake anybody up when they're asleep." " Very well, sir." "Is there anything else, sir?" "Don't you think she'd be more comfortable if she were undressed?" "You must excuse me, sir, but I'm a gentleman's gentleman." "Yes, rather." " Well, good night, Jeeves." " Good night, sir." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Give me the toll operator, please." "Yes." "Hello, toll operator?" "I want Mooring 3-7." "Yes, it's the Mooring Manor Hotel." "Do hurry." "It's very important." "Oh, well, perhaps Jeeves knows best." " Mooring Manor Hotel." " I want to speak to Mr. McDermott, please." "Mr. McDermott?" "Hold the line, please." "[Phone Ringing]" " Yes." " There's a lady calling from London for Mr. McDermott." "All right, connect her with him and I'll listen in." "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." "Here's Mr. McDermott." "[Ringing]" "Hello?" "Hello, Marjorie." "I say, nothing's happened?" "You're all right?" "You've got your half of the plans safe?" "Yes, but I was being followed, so I had to take cover." "I'll get out of here as soon as I can." "What room are you in?" "Number 16." "Now do take care of yourself." "I will." "I'll let you know the moment I arrive." "Good-bye." "We'll take that!" "Come on." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Hand it over!" "[Bell Tolling]" " Morning, Jeeves." "Good morning." " Good morning, sir." "And thank you very much for taking such good care of me last night." " I'm glad you slept well, sir." " I slept well and safely." "But where's the young lady?" " I'm happy to say she departed, sir." " You mean she's gone?" " 3:32 precisely." " Where did she go?" "I didn't feel it my place to ask, sir." "Why didn't you wake me up?" "After all, I was the host." "The mysterious young lady asked she be permitted to leave without the formalities." "And what were you doing up at 3:32, may I ask?" "Helping her out through the servants' quarters, sir." "Here I have the most beautiful girl in all England in my own house... and you let her get away from me." " You're most exasperating." " I shan't be for long, sir." "Yes, that's true, isn't it?" "Jeeves, have you ever heard of the Mooring Manor Hotel?" "It was formerly in the possession of the Viscount Mooring, whom my father served." "When the family had reverses, it was sold and converted into a hotel." " What sort of a place is it?" " Charming, sir." "Surrounded by a beautiful countryside." " An ideal spot for rest and quiet, if I may say so." " Of course you may say so." "Jeeves, go off and pack my bags." "I'm going to the Mooring Manor Hotel." "I had packed your bag in anticipation of Deauville, sir." "I'm glad you've changed your mind." "I feel sure you won't regret it." "Yes, I hope not." "Well, you beetle off and get those things now." "And breeze along." "Don't trip over anything." "It's been cold waiting here all night." "I hope Burton got your telephone message." "I could do with some tea." " [Car Approaching]" " Here he comes now." " Hello, Tom." "Hello, Jack." " Well, Burton." " Cold?" " You're welcome." "I got your telephone message and I brought you some tea and some sandwiches." " Just what we need." " Let me have that." "I say, look." "There's something going on here." "A girl goes into that house." "She stays there." "Then two men come out who appear to be going on a little trip." "What's this bright light, Jeeves?" "The sun probably, sir." "Come on." "We're taking no chances." "Burton, stay here and watch for that girl to come out." "Tom and I will follow that car." "# Drink, puppy, drink And let every puppy drink #" "#That is old enough to lap and to swallow #" "# For he'll grow into a—# How's the rest of that thing go, Jeeves?" "With my apologies, sir."

"If I may say so, sir, you're showing a marked improvement already." " Do you really think so?" " Most decidedly, sir." "Thank you, Jeeves." "Coming from you, that is a compliment." "## [Humming]" "Sorry, sir." "Good heavens, sir!" " What's the matter?" " Look, sir!" " What on earth's that object?" " Looks like a scarecrow to me, sir." "Don't be ridiculous." "Scarecrows don't carry saxophones." "You can't stand there." "Don't you realize you're obstructing traffic?" " Who's doing what?" " Go away now." "Go on." "Shoo." "Shoo." " I can't." "I's too tired." " Where were you pointing?" "I was pointing to where I was going, if anybody would take me there." " Where are you going?" " I was going to Leeds." "Oh, would you mind telling me what you're doing with that zither— that thing there?" "I's a saxophoner in the Dixieland band." "We was supposed to play in Leeds tonight." " But I's all missed the bus we rides in." " Aren't the trains running?" "Yes, sir, trains running for them that got the fare." "Stop this debating, Jeeves." "Put it in the back." " Get in the back there, will you?" " Yes, sir." "Now hurry up and get in-between those bags." "I think he's all right now, sir." "You can drive off." "I never expected to find a bit of band on the road." "We ought to get together some time for a concert." "I'm a musician myself." "What do y'all play?" "Well, I am considered quite a virtuoso on the drums." " Ain't that so?" "Can y'all swing it?" " Oh, yes." "Swing what?" "You know, swing it on out there." " Now do you understand, Jeeves?" " Quite, sir." "Ain't y'all never heard of swing music?" " What on earth is this swing music?" " I'll show you." "I'll riffle off a couple of notes for you." "## [Swing]" "## [Scatting]" "## [Scatting]" " Well, that's not bad, Jeeves." " Not good, sir." "Well, it's barbaric, but definitely intriguing." " Remind me to go in for this business of swinging." " Yes." "I know that got you, boss." "I'll riffle off a couple more for you." "Really, please!" "Must you?" "Begging your pardon, sir." "I think we're being followed." " I'll pull away from them." "This is exciting." " Quite, sir." "Go on." "Get them!" "I think it advisable that we stop, sir!" "Nonsense, Jeeves." "Are we rabbits or Englishmen?" "We can't give ourselves up to those thieves without a struggle." "Them ain't rabbits chasing us." "[Tires Screeching]" "Here, here!" "This is neither the time nor the place to shave yourself!" "Put that thing away!" "[Tires Screeching]" "Doggone." "I never expect to see me here again." "I suggest that we stop, sir, or you may get seriously injured." "Jeeves, I never enjoyed myself so much in my life." "Besides, you got me into this and it's up to you to get me out again." "Boss, excuse me." "Can I get off here?" "No, we're going to make a turn." "I think we hit an air pocket there." "Them trees got us surrounded." "Stay away, trees!" "Well, we seem to have lost them now, Jeeves." "Yes." "Begging your pardon, sir." "I think they're coming down the side road." "Oh, yes, so they are." "Where did they go?" " Road hogs, Jeeves." " [Horn Honking]" "Go on!" "Get them!" "I'll cut them off at the crossroads." "There we are, Jeeves." "If I'd taken your advice and stopped... we'd probably all have been slaughtered by now." " Maybe they weren't thieves, sir." " Nonsense." "They weren't chasing us to borrow a match." "Perhaps they don't smoke, sir." "There's them men again." " Persistent fellows, sir." " Yes." "Well, good-bye, Jeeves." " Get out, please." " But I just got in." " I wish you'd go away and not molest us." " What is the meaning of all this?" " You mind your own business." " Oh, rats!" " I'll trouble you to be less discourteous." " Very well." "Mice." "We're from Scotland Yard." "Would you mind getting out, please?" "Scotland Yard?" "We thought you were thieves." "That is funny, Jeeves." "Most amusing, sir." "But I suppose we'd better obey them." "Now then, would you mind telling me where you're going?" "We're going to the Mooring Manor Hotel." "Is anything wrong?" " And may I ask what your purpose is in going there?" " Allow me, sir." "My master is in need of a quiet and peaceful holiday." "I see." "Where are those papers that girl gave you?" "Jeeves, you've been holding out on me." "I didn't know you had a girl." "I haven't, sir." "To what young lady are you referring, sir?" "You know the one we mean." "She spent the night in your flat." " Did you have a girl in the flat?" " No, sir." "I think he's referring to the lady who dropped in on us so mysteriously last night." "We're referring to the young lady who calls herself Marjorie Lowman." "So that's her name." "What about her?" "She has stolen papers which are of vital importance to the government." " I know nothing about it." "Did she give me any papers?" " No." "There you are." "You're wrong." "She just popped in and popped out again." " Nevertheless, we shall search you." " I understand." " A matter of formality." " Thank you." "Better search him first." " He may be an accomplice." " I ain't no accomplice." "I's American." "Oh." "Are you interested in swing music?" " No." " Oh, just a thought." "May I point out that I'm rather sensitive in that portion of my anatomy?" " Just hold still a moment." "Nobody's going to hurt you." " Thank you." "They're not carrying it." "Let's go through their bags." " This way, madam, please." " Thank you." "I believe you've got some rooms for me." "I'm Marjorie Lowman." "Oh, yes, we've been expecting you, Miss Lowman." "Will you register, please?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Will you tell Mr. McDermott I've arrived and would like to see him?" " Who, miss?" " Mr. Edward McDermott." " We have no one by that name stopping here." " But you have." "I spoke to Mr. McDermott myself over the telephone last night." "He's in room 16." "Pardon me, but I'm in room 16." "My name is Elliott Manville." "Oh, I'm sorry." "There must be some mistake." " I thought that was Mr. McDermott's room." " No, that's my room." "Your friend is probably staying somewhere else." "Have you tried the Village Inn?" "No, but I telephoned him last night." "Most extraordinary." "Are you quite certain that you haven't a gentleman named Edward McDermott stopping here?" " Absolutely." " Then how could I have spoken to him?" " It's beyond me, miss." " I'm certain there's nothing to worry about." "Go up to your room and make yourself comfortable." "And meanwhile, I'll scout around and see if I can find your Mr. McDermott." " You must think this very stupid of me." " Not at all, not at all." "Your friend must surely be around here somewhere." "I'll try and find him, and then give you a ring in your room." " Thank you so much." " It's all right." " Where's Manville?" " In his office." "Well, what have you got to say for yourselves?" " We didn't get the plans." " Yes, go on." "We trailed the girl, but she ran into a house occupied by a Bertie Wooster." "We waited all night but didn't see her come out." "This morning Wooster appeared with his man, got into their car and we followed them." " Go on, go on." " We stopped them on the road... posed as Scotland Yard men and searched them but they didn't have the plans." "They're coming here and that's why we hurried ahead to warn you." "Yes, Mr. Manville?" "If Mr. Bertie Wooster arrives, let me know immediately." "So you followed the two men, forgot all about the girl, eh?" "No, we left Burton there to watch the house." "He's going to have a long wait because I happen to have the lady in this hotel." " What?" " I met her when she arrived and arranged to have lunch with her." "She thinks I'm going to help her find Mr. McDermott." "Now listen." "This is what I want you two to do." "And let there be no slipup this time." "Go to her room and make a thorough search of everything." " We will." " Just a moment." "And keep an eye on that Wooster fellow." "That's all." " All right." " I'll see you later." "[Tires Screeching]" "That's not bad, Jeeves." "We did the last mile in exactly one minute and 12 seconds." "Begging your pardon, sir." "I think that's inaccurate." "One minute and 11 seconds." "Oh." "Oh, this is a wonder spot, Jeeves." "I bet this reeks with romance." " I hope not, sir." " Yes." "Anyway, it's a nice place for rest and quiet." "I consider it the most peaceful spot in the whole of England, sir." "Good egg, Jeeves, good egg." "I—" "I wonder what's happened to our passenger." "That Ethiopian fellow seems to have evaporated." "You'll probably find him down the road, sir, draped on a bush." "Do something about it because it worries me exceedingly." "I'll go and have lunch." "Yes, sir." "Hello!" "Hello!" "Yes, sir, Massa Gabriel, I's coming." " Us plays the horn too." " Well, come on." "Come, come." "We're there." " Where?" " Here!" " Ain't I in pieces?" " You're as right as right can be." "Will y'all give me your word I ain't dead?" "Come on, come on." "Get out of the car and buzz off." "Is us in Leeds?" "Leeds is many miles from here." " How we gonna get there?" " Walk." "Feet, did y'all hear what that man said?" " When my man appears, send him up with my luggage, will you?" " Very good, sir." " [Bell Rings]" " Show Mr. Wooster to his room." "This way, sir." "Mr. Wooster just arrived." "I've given him room nine." "Good." "Keep me informed of everything he does." "I'm Mr. Wooster's man." "What room shall I take his things to?" " Mr. Wooster is in room nine." " Thank you." " Mr. Wooster is in room nine." " Thank you." " What's the matter, old man?" "Don't you feel well?" " I'm very well, thank you." " Have you got wasps in this hotel?" " Wasps?" "Of course not." " I feel certain I've been stung." " Possibly your imagination." "Possibly, but not probably." " I'll carry that for you for two bits." " Two bits of what?" "That's a quarter— 25 cents American money." "No, thank you." "I don't need your aid." "What an extraordinary language." "Two bits!" "Well, Jeeves, you were right again." "Right again, Jeeves!" " This is a beautiful spot." " It was, sir." " What do you mean, "It was"?" " I regret to report that that woman is here." " Woman?" "What woman?" " Our visitor of last night." "Oh, that one." "[Laughs] Well, that is a coincidence." "An extraordinary coincidence, sir." "May I suggest for your own good... that we motor on till we come to another hotel?" "Definitely not, Jeeves." "I refused to have my rest interfered by a mere female." "Frankly, I'm afraid, sir, that we may get involved in another embarrassing situation." "This is different." "Remember what those Scotland Yard men told us about this girl?" "It is our duty to remain here and watch her... in case the occasion arises to aid our country." "Yes, sir." "I find your patriotism most admirable, sir." "Then you haven't been able to find Mr. McDermott?" "No, not yet." "I'm sorry." " I hope nothing's happened to him." " No, I don't think so." "If you tell me where you found him and about what time... it might help to clear things up." "It was quite late." "I was staying with my aunt in London." "Oh, I— I see." "[Door Opens]" "I'm beginning to think we should notify the police." "No, no, no." "That won't be at all necessary." "Suppose we take a little drive this afternoon and make further inquiries." " I guess we'll learn something." " Hello, hello!" "How are you today?" "Why did you run away?" " Sorry." "I don't think we've met." " Nonsense." "Of course." " You spent last night with me." " This lady says she doesn't know you." "Yes, she does." "You mustn't forget old friends so soon." "Most unflattering." "I haven't the slightest idea who you are." "You can't have forgotten Brighton and my brother." " Never been to Brighton." " Well, makes us even." "I haven't a brother." "You're evidently making a mistake." "This lady spent last night with her aunt." "Don't you think you ought to apologize and leave us?" "Well, if that's the way you see it, I'll toddle off and give it thought." "##[Saxophone Playing]" "##[Saxophone Playing]" "##[Saxophone Playing]" "##[Continues]" "I say, what's that dreadful thing you're playing?" " They call it "The March of the Hussars."" " Nothing like it." "It so happens, my bovine friend, that "The March of the Hussars" is my favorite piece of music." "I know every note of it, and you haven't played one of them."

"Thank you." "[Mouths Words]" "You do that again and I'll take you across my knee." " Well, are you ready?" " Mm-hmm." "Thanks." "Well, thanks very much for lunching with me." " I'll call for you in about an hour." " Thank you too." " I'll see you later." "Good-bye." " Good-bye." " Oh, just a moment!" " What do you want?" "I'm in a hurry." "I wouldn't annoy Miss Lowman again if I were you." "What right have you to interfere?" "Are you a relative?" " No." " Then I have just as much right... to speak to her as you have, old boy." "Nevertheless, I'm warning you." "If you interfere with her, you'll get into trouble." "Oh, I see then." "You're one of these government fellows." "Clever aren't you?" "Well, just keep away from her." "We Woosters never get enmeshed in the official dragnet." " No?" " Oh, no." "## [Whistling]" "Now, then, play the whole thing through and play it properly."

" What do you want?" "I just want to talk." "If you'll overlook this informal visit..." "I'll forgive you for slighting me in the dining room." " Spicy little spot you have here." " I wish you wouldn't follow me." "I'm not following you." "As much as I'd like to, I'm not following you." "I'm here to do you a good turn— and at the risk of my life too." "Shh." "Oh!" "Very inefficient." "I think you'd better go." "I've had just about enough of this nonsense." "Have you got a license for that machine?" "You could be put in jail." "I was quite aware of that, but don't come any closer." "I can't help it." "You're so irresistible." " Please don't come near me." " Would you point that thing away?" "There you are." "You go backwards, you fall on your back." " Give me that gun." " I get these bullet things out, I'll be comfortable." "Now you can point it at me all day if you like." " Just why did you come here?" " Well, I-l— Marjorie—" "You don't mind me calling "Marjorie," do you?" "Of course you don't." "Marjorie, why don't you give up this life of yours?" "You're far too young and beautiful to spend it in jail." " What do you take to get these delusions?" " You're wrong." " I'm doing this for your own good." "Now let's sit down." " Leave my coat alone." " I'll hang it up for you." " Please, give it to me." "Give it to me." " I won't drop it." " Now, please go." "Dash it!" "I can't go until I do the thing I came here to do." "Why don't you give up this life you're leading." "It's not going to get you anywhere." "Oh?" "That's most flattering." "But just what do you think I am?" "You can stop all this bluff because I happen to know you've borrowed some plans... that belong to the government, and I think it only sporting to tell you... that a large number of detectives are following you around." " Now I know there's something wrong with you." " Don't go on pretending." "Two Scotland Yard men followed you to my house yesterday." " Really?" " That's why they stopped and searched me on the road." " They told me all about you." " That must have been most interesting." "Most instructive." "I saw the same two in your room when you were having lunch." " You did?" "Why didn't you stop them?" " I thought it over." "One can't monkey about with Scotland Yard men." "I tried to tell you while you were having lunch but you fortunately stopped me." "Why was that fortunate?" "Because the man you were having lunch with was another government chap." "He threatened to shoot me if I so much as look at you." "Thank you for telling me this." "And, now, if you'll excuse me, I won't keep you any longer." "I'm in no hurry." "I haven't come to the most important thing yet." "Don't tell me there are more detectives on my trail." "There probably are, hundreds." "Black with them, for all I know." "I must give you one word of advice." "Will you give back those plans?" "Get whatever it is you've stolen... and we'll trickle down together and just see those detectives." " You're out of your mind." " I'm not." "I just love you, that's all." "In fact, if you'll reform, I'll willingly consider marrying you." " I suppose I should feel flattered." " You certainly should." "I don't propose to every girl I meet." "Now put on your coat." " Please leave my coat alone." " Why?" " Because I say so." " Anything you say, my dear." "I don't understand why you want to go on leading this unhappy life." "I was perfectly happy until you came." "You're pretending again." "I know very well you're fond of me." "You're just fighting to cover it up." "It must be wonderful to be gifted with so much insight." "Well, it's very nice, but will you promise to send back those plans?" "They'll be in government hands by tomorrow morning." "There." "I knew you were a woman of intelligence the moment I set eyes on you." "Sort of a like recognizing like." "Thank you." "Now, please excuse me." "I really have some things to attend to." " Can't I stay here and help—" " No, no." "Thank you." "Really." " Will you have dinner with me tonight?" " Yes, of course I will." "But, now, please, excuse me and—" " Thank you." " You really are a bit of a darling." " That's nice of you to say so." " I'm not bad myself." "As a matter of fact, I'm considered pretty crisp, in a manly sort of way." " You'll probably find that out when we get better acquainted." " No doubt." "Good-bye." "Well, good-bye, my puppet." " Come on." "Keep moving." " Fancy meeting you here." "Why don't you come in, sit down, put your feet up?" " Hand over those plans." " I've told you, I haven't got any plans." " Talking won't get us anywhere." " How are you?" " Let's search him." " You've searched." "Don't you remember?" "I was down the road, my valet with me and some colored gentleman." "Yes, we remember." "I suppose the girl didn't give you those plans just now?" "That's right." "She didn't." "How did you guess?" " Oh!" "We're wasting time." " If you insist, I'm only too glad to help." " Never mind." "We'll take care of it." " No offense, old boy." "Well, what did you intend to do with these cartridges?" "Cartridges?" "Yes, they are cartridges, aren't they?" "I'm rather fond of shooting— Grouse shooting, to be precise." " That's why I came down here." " With a revolver?" "What do you expect me to bring, a fishing rod?" "I suppose you know that grouse shooting starts in August." "For your information, this happens to be the 17 th of May." "The old calendar does whip around, doesn't it?" "I just wanted to get a little practice before the grouse shooting started." "Don't you practice before grouse shooting?" "Very tricky birds." "I feel you won't need these, so I'll take care of them." " That is, if you don't mind." " Not at all." "I'm delighted... that you government fellows would take them for me." "What a nice hat that is." "Now, if you two gentlemen wouldjust be patient..." "I'm quite sure everything will be straightened out by tomorrow." " What do you mean?" " I can't take you into my confidence." "You'll just have to trust your old friend Wooster." "You see, I have decided to take over Miss Lowman's interest permanently." " Do you mind telling us what you're talking about?" " Not at all." "It's a pleasure." "I have persuaded Miss Lowman that a life of dishonesty never did pay." "I never could bear a thief at any price." "However, she's an exception." " We know that." " Is he pulling our leg?" " He's up to something." " I am, but it's a secret." "However, you may tell your superiors— I take it you have superiors—" "Tell them they need worry no more." "That which they are seeking will be placed... in their hands tomorrow and you may add that Bertram Wooster will see to it." " Do you know what he's driving at?" " Sounds balmy to me." "Well, let's go." "No need to wait here any longer." "He hasn't got the plans." " We'll see you later on." " Splendid.!" "Splendid, old boy.!" "I look forward to it." "Might have a spot of lunch at the club one day." "And don't forget to give that message to your superiors." "I know they'll be relieved to hear that." "Good morning." "I tell you the girl must have them on her." "They weren't in her room and she didn't give them to Wooster." "Why not let us go up and get her?" "There's no use in being diplomatic." "From now on, you two keep away from her." " I'll handle this in my own way." " If that's the way you want it." " Remember, this girl is clever." " That's why I propose to take care of her myself." "I'm going to meet her in the lobby and then take her to the private garage." " What about that Wooster?" " You don't need worry about him." "We'll take care of Mr. Wooster after we've got the girl." "And, remember, we can't afford to fumble this time." "I've wired the chief in Paris that I'll be with him tomorrow." "Here, you'd better put these in the safe until we get the other half." "I'll take that, Mr. Manville." "And now, what have you done with McDermott?" " If you'll give me those plans, I'll tell you." " Don't move." "[Grunting]" "Don't panic." "She can't hurt you with that." "It isn't loaded." " What?" " I took the precaution of removing the pellets." "Which I thought was clever." "I'm more than a little offended..." " at you not keeping your promise." " You fool!" "I say, handle her with care." "She's most precious." " Sit down, Wooster." " Thank you." "I am dripping with fatigue." " Won't you sit down?" " You may as well, Miss Lowman." "You may be here for quite a while yet." "You park on the plush and I'll come and look after you." " There you are." " Idiot!" "Don't say things like that." "I only did what I did for your own good." " If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Miss Lowman." " Not at all." "Lovers quarrel." " Keep quiet, Wooster, and sit down!" " Oh, thank you very much." "Get me a chair, will you?" "I'll get one myself." "Mustn't strain the arm of the law." "Now, Miss Lowman, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble... if you'll hand over the other half of those plans." " I don't know what you're talking about." " You know that isn't true." "Why don't you give him whatever he wants for my sake?" "They'll arrest you if you don't." "Arrest me?" "Why, he's the thief." "Don't say things like that." "These people are police." "You'll make them angry." "You keep out of this, Wooster." "Come, Miss Lowman." "I happen to know that you arranged to meet McDermott here... and turn over the rest of the plans to him." " Now you're being ridiculous." " And I also know... that McDermott arranged to turn over his plans to the Faulkner Aircraft company." "Oh, really?" "That's quite near here." "Just go down the road." " Thank you very much for the information." " Oh, no charge, old boy." " So, you see, your pretense won't work, Miss Lowman." " You might as well confess." " Are you going to give them up or must we take them?" " I've said all I'm going to." "Very well then." "Go on." "Search her." "I can't allow you to manhandle the lady." " Sit down, jack-in-the-box." " I've had just about enough of you, Mr. Wooster." "This isn't cricket." "If you want to search, have a matron here." "Search me." "Wooster, if you interfere again, it'll be for last time." "Here, take this." "Very touchy on this "blowpipe" question." "Is that regulation?" "I didn't know you government chaps carried those things." "Just beginning to filter through the Wooster brain that you're not government chaps." "An amazing piece of detective work, Mr. Wooster." "Here, sit down." "What are you doing?" " Boss, you all right?" " I don't know yet." "From now on I shall hate "The March of the Hussars."" "Oh, we can't get out there." "Let's try here." "Now, come on." "Come on." "Hurry up now." "I'm sorry to have messed this up." "I had no idea these people were thieves." "It seems you had no idea of anything." "If it hadn't been for you, these men would be in the hands of the police."

"That IS me being myself." "It's just here." "D'you want a cup of coffee?" "OK." "You don't have to." "No, no, no." "I'd..." "Yeah, I'd like to." "What are these for, then?" "They're not for anything." "They just look nice." "Are they yours?" "No." "Jo's." "My flat-mate." "It's her place." "She's away at the moment." "Can I smoke?" "No." "You can stay the night, though, if you want." "Not on the carpet." "I can't afford it." "You might have the decency to run." "Then we wouldn't be doing it together." "Cocky cow." "It's just a fact." "Look." "OK!" "OK!" "I HATE you!" "I owe you a new carpet." "Well, maybe a new spare bed." "You shagged the football hooligan!" "I knew it!" "I knew it!" "He's not a football hooligan." "So he HAS read Byron?" "He's bound to have done!" "It doesn't really matter if he hasn't." "Who'd have thought it, eh?" ""Iron Knickers" Hughes ending up with a yob." "He's not a yob and I'm not ending up with him." "You wanna bet?" "Where are you off to?" "I'm starving." "I was thinking of ringing for a pizza." "Have you read Byron?" "What?" "Have you read any of Byron's poems?" "Yeah." ""The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold" ""and his somethings were gleaming" ""in black and old gold." Crap." "What are those?" "My..." "Arsenal boxer shorts." "They're not my best ones." "I was running out." "But you're willing to show them to another human being." "I wasn't exactly showing them to you." "What d'you wanna know about Byron for?" "Um... a bet." "Did you win?" "I don't think so." "Stay in line!" "Right, now push up!" "Out!" "Out!" "That's it!" "Good lads." "Offside, referee!" "Offside!" "Ref!" "Oi, ref, he was miles off." "It's not M Y fault." "Too good a coach for this level." "What's the score?" "One-all." "If you count that POXY GOAL they just scored." "What's this, Cup or League?" "Cup, quarter-final." " How long left?" " Fifteen." "I wanted to talk to you about a vacancy." "Rosie Hunter's handed in her notice." "I wondered whether you'd be interested in applying." "Head of Year?" "Um... well..." "Obviously not the most attractive offer you've ever had." "Come on, Ben!" "Get back with him!" "Sorry, Ted." "I haven't fired you with enthusiasm." "It's a lot of work." "What do I wanna do more work for?" "More money?" "I've got enough to pay my rent, enough for my season ticket and a couple of records a month." "Got no family." "I'd like you to think about it." "Sorry." "There's nothing to think about." "Come on, Sam!" "Put it away!" "YES!" "Why aren't adults supposed to go mad about anything?" "You've got to keep a lid on it." "And if you don't, then people are apparently entitled to say what they like." "You haven't grown up, you're a moron." "Your conversation is trivial and boorish." "You can't express your emotional needs." "You can't relate to your children and you die - lonely and miserable." "But you know, what the hell?" "Every cloud has a silver lining." "Not on your own." "How many more times?" "You'll have to wait until your father's over." "So I'll get to Highbury five times a year?" "It's not my fault your father lives abroad." "Mum, they play 21 times a year plus Cup matches." "That's..." "Mum, why is Crossroads a motel?" "What d'you mean?" "Why isn't it just a hotel?" "29!" "If they get to the League Cup semi-final, the FA Cup quarter-final..." "You can take your car there." "You forgot Europe." "I don't know how many games last season." "Oh, yeah." "That's another five games." "That hotel in Devon, we took our car." "Every round is home and away." "We had to leave it in the car park." "Fives into thirty-five goes seven." "One-seventh of all the home games." "Pathetic!" "Paul, in a motel, you drive a car into a room!" "Say you only went to one-seventh your Choral Society" "They'd throw you out." "Arsenal won't throw you out." "They want your money." "I've looked it up." "I can catch the 12.53 to Paddington, be at Paddington by 1.36, get the Circle and District and Metropolitan Line to Kings Cross." "Then it's Caledonian Road, Holloway Road," "Arsenal, third stop." "Be there 2.15, easy." "For Christ's sake, go if you want to." "Yes!" "Thanks, Mum." "Charlie, Charlie," "Charlie's the King of Highbury." "Don't come runnin' to me if you get stabbed to death." "I won't." "Jimmy Husband!" "Brilliant." "It's not easy to become a football fan." "It takes years." "But if you put in the hours, you're welcomed, without question, into a new family." "Except in this family, you care about the same people and hope for the same things." "What's childish about that?" "A terrible foul by McLintock on Rocastle." "He'll be lucky to stay on the pitch." "It wasn't THAT bad." "It was mistiming, it wasn't malicious." "Bollocks!" "So, that's a free kick to 1989 Arsenal and..." "Davis takes it." "And..." "Goal!" "And that's 1989 Arsenal four, 1971 Arsenal, nil." "Bob Wilson will be bitterly disappointed with that one." "This lot would never beat the Double team four-nil at Subbuteo." "It's just I'm crap at it!" "Should've chosen someone else." "Who else played in yellow and blue away strip?" " Everton?" " Be Everton, then." "OK." "But this game's abandoned." "I can't start suddenly pretending that John Radford's Joe Royle." "It'd do my head in." "Have to start again." "Nil-nil." "All right." "Go on, then." "Yes!" "What are you thinking about?" " Oh... stuff." " What stuff?" "I was thinking about DH Lawrence, actually." "Yeah?" "What about him?" "Well..." "Well... about his books." "What about his books?" "Just... which one's the longest." "And?" "I" " I couldn't remember." "Well, which one did you think it might be?" "That's just it." "I couldn't decide." "Between what and what?" "Mm..." "Well, "Lady Chatterley's Lover"..." " And...?" " And, um..." "I wasn't thinking about DH Lawrence at all." "You amaze me." "I was thinking about Arsenal." "I'm staggered." "We might win the League this year." "We're half-way through the season and we're top and they'll fuck it up but..." "You're not impressed, are you?" "I am." "I hope they win the League." "It's just that..." "Why did you lie?" "I've got to vary the answers." "I can't say Arsenal every time." "I can't find any... "Bread"." "Do I look like the sort of man who'd have a "Bread" album?" "No, you look like the kind of man who has a "Bollock Brothers" album." "I wouldn't put that on." "It's a bit... not the right mood." "Oh?" "And what's the right mood?" "Well, I don't know, just... something... you know." "What?" "You know, just... something not as..." "sweary and loud." "Paul, that's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me." "Shut up." "By the way, congratulations." "On what?" "Two-nil." "Quinn and Dixon." "Goal in each half." "Top of the League." "Nine games to go." "George Graham sees no reason why Arsenal shouldn't bring the title back to Highbury for the first time in 16 years." "18 years." "I'm sure he said 16." "Oh, right." "Maybe I'm wrong." "Yeah, OK, OK. 18." "Whatever." "So, when does it all end?" "May." "And what happens then, in the summer?" "Just sit in the park and wait for the fixture list to come out." "So what about this summer?" "That's a good point." "We might be in the Charity Shield." "That isn't the point I was making." "We've been..." "seeing each other - well, we've been sleeping together for six months now." "And we've never even planned a holiday together." "It's a miracle if we plan a weekend before Friday afternoon." "And yet you know what Arsenal are doing for months in advance." "They produce a fixture list." "Well, I can do that for you." "Give me your diary and I'll put some dates in it." "Don't be daft." "What's daft about it?" "I don't really see the difference." "How about Saturday, October the 8th?" "Let's go away somewhere." "I haven't got next season's fixture list yet." "You know you're seeing Arsenal next year." "You can't say whether you'll be seeing me." "So what?" "Everyone's like that." "You know you'll be seeing your sister next season." "Sisters don't have seasons." "Whatever." "Look, I know where this is going and you're dead wrong." "I'm capable of commitment and all that stuff." "If it doesn't happen with you, that's because of you, not me." "21 years I've been going to Arsenal." "21 years." "Paul, I don't know whether you've noticed but Arsenal are a football team." "And you think there's a difference?" "Yes, I do." "That shows what you know about it." "'.." "Will need a fitness test 'shortly before kick-off. '" "That looked like Rocky." "Jo, go back to the news a minute." "It's only the local news." "I know." "It looked like Rocky." "Who looked like Rocky?" "Who the hell is Rocky?" "Doesn't matter." "We've missed it now." "that "Rocky" is an Arsenal player." "Yeah, David Rocastle." "And how do you know what he looks like?" "Well, I don't know." "It sinks in after a while." "What else has sunk in?" "D'you know where they are in the Championship Cup and who their best goal-hanger is?" "I'm not turning into a moron." "OK, I know they're top of the League." "That's easy to remember." "And I know that Alan "Smudger" Smith has scored most of the goals." "But it doesn't..." "I'm going next week." "You're going?" "Yeah." "To a football match?" "Yeah." "I thought I should." "Ooh." "I tell you, girl, you'd better watch yourself." "Soon after Tim and I split up," "I woke up one morning and realised I could remember his batting average for the previous season." "Harmless enough, isn't it?" "No!" "It's all a sinister form of male manipulation." "Rubbish!" "It's true!" "You get colonised." "Your native culture gets driven out and it's replaced by stuff you don't even wanna know about." "They're like bloody missionaries." "They bore you stupid until you cave in then they fuck off!" "Shut up!" "Did you get it?" "Yes." "Can I see it?" "It's in me purse." "Brilliant." "Thanks, Mum." "I've got to do an extra hour tomorrow." "Left the office at twelve," "I didn't get back till three." "They asked you what end you wanted?" "No." "I said, "One, please" and they gave me that." "How comes you got a ticket in the Reading end?" "Had to get it off a tout." "How much did that cost you?" "Fiver." "D'you live in Islington?" "Well, near, yeah." "How near is near?" "Place called Maidenhead." "Maidenhead?" "Maidenhead in Berkshire?" "Two miles down the road?" "More like six." "Bit nearer Reading than Arsenal." "You should be supporting your local team." "Look..." "Excuse me." "Just seen someone I know." "And was the ticket all right, in the end?" "I was standing with a load of country bumpkins at first." "Then I found Jenkins and them." "So you stood with Jenkins?" "What would YOU know?" "You must've been sick when they equalised." "I heard it on the radio." "The place went mad." "Just had to stand and take it." "Good old Pat Rice, though." " He never scores, Pat Rice." " First of the season." "We're good in the Cups, aren't we?" "McNab won't play." "Bertie Mee wouldn't risk him." "How long will it take to get to Birmingham?" "Couple of hours." "Maybe three." "But we'll be there by two?" "Oh, sure." "How about if we did something different this afternoon?" "How d'you mean?" "I thought you might like to meet Jane and the kids for lunch." "Then maybe take 'em to the zoo or pictures... somewhere." "They've been over this week visiting their grandmother." "They'd love to meet you." "You don't mean instead of the game, do you?" "We couldn't do both." "You didn't get any tickets, did you?" "The tickets are waiting for us there." "So you're telling me you've got tickets but you wanna go and see "The Jungle Book"?" "You're teasing me, aren't you?" "We don't have to go to Arsenal every time I'm in London, do we?" "I thought we were beyond that stage." "We'll never be beyond that stage." "Out here in the fields" "I fight for my meals" "I get my back into my living" "I don't need to fight" "To prove I'm right" "I don't need to be forgiven" "I thought you said you'd look after me." "You said you didn't need looking after." "You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in!" "Gonna get your fucking heads kicked in!" "Fucking jump for the ball, Niall!" "Come on, Arsenal!" "Do you want this or not?" "'Everton nil, Norwich nil. '" "You'll get used to it." "I don't wanna get used to it." "What's going on at the Liverpool/Forest game?" "There's trouble or something." "They ain't kicked off yet." "There." "Heard about Hillsborough?" "This guy was just saying." "Bloke up there reckons there's people hurt." "Jesus." "What happened?" "I dunno." "You all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Arsenal!" "Arsenal!" "Arsenal!" "Arsenal!" "'Semi-final 'between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool 'at the Hillsborough ground in Sheffield." "'It's feared that at least 74 people 'were crushed to death." "'Hundreds were forced on to the pitch. '" "It's just so stupid." "'The Liverpool manager, Kenny Dalglish, 'and his opposite number, Brian Clough, 'were clearly appalled by the scenes." "'There's so far nothing to suggest... '" "So stupid." "'.. that what happened 'was the result of violence amongst fans. '" "They must've realised something like this was gonna happen one day." "One afternoon on the North Bank and you're an expert." "Well, that's it, then." "That's what?" "You can't go back now, can you?" "'Course we will." "How can you?" "Because... because everyone else will." "Because the game will go on." "They'll even replay this one." "This doesn't change anything." "I just don't get you." "No, I know you don't." "It's not just me you don't get." "It's any of us." "I hope the rest of them aren't as selfish and manipulative as you." "What's selfish about watching a football team?" "It's all selfish, all of it!" "All those stupid stories about how your mum's cats are called after great players and how she drove through the snow to get you a Cup ticket." "You stopped seeing your father when you didn't need him to take you to the games any more." "And we're supposed to understand because football's football." "When we think of Paul, we think of Arsenal." "It makes me sick!" "I hated this afternoon." "D'you wanna know why?" "Because if you didn't give a toss about Arsenal, what are you left with?" "You pay £5 to stand on a lump of concrete." "You can't see anything, you're not even safe." "And you can't complain because that would be letting the lads down." "That'd show you didn't care enough." "Well, at least we care about something." "At least we're not in night after night worrying about our lesson plans." "Whether a Scale 3 might come up in Bournemouth." "Perhaps one day you'll learn to care about something you can't tick." "Thanks." "I'm sorry." "Football has meant too much to me and come to represent too many things." "After a while, it all gets mixed up together in your head." "You can't remember whether life's shit because Arsenal's shit or the other way round." "I've been to watch far too many games, spent far too much money." "Fretted about Arsenal when I should have been fretting about something else." "I've asked too much of the people I love." "OK, I accept all that." "Perhaps it's something you can't understand unless you belong." "But what about this...?" "Three minutes to go and you're two-one up in a semi-final." "You look around and see thousands of faces contorted with fear and hope and worry." "Everyone lost." "Everything else gone out of their heads." "Then the whistle blows and everyone goes spare." "And just for those few minutes, you're at the centre of the whole world." "And the fact that you care so much, that the noise you've made has been such a crucial part of it, is what makes it special." "You've been as important as the players and if you hadn't been there, who'd have been bothered about football, really?" "The great thing is, it comes round again and again." "There's always another season." "If you lose the Cup Final in May, there's the third round to look forward to in January." "What's wrong with that?" "It's actually pretty comforting if you think about it." "But every now and then - not very often, but it happens " "you catch a glimpse of a world that doesn't work like that." "A world that doesn't stop in May and begin again in August." "There's some stuff that just never comes back." "And some stuff that just won't go away." "And some stuff that you couldn't ignore even if you wanted to." "Hello." "'It's me. '" "Do you know what time it is?" "'Yeah, and I'm sorry. '" "Listen, are you pregnant?" "Are these for me?" "Yeah." "Flowers." "I suppose they were, once upon a time." "Thank you." "Come on, Jo." "Oh." "And chocolates!" "It's come just at the right time for me." "I was gettin' bored with that pub and football stuff." "You can only spend so much time playing Subbuteo." "It's time to move on." "Having a kid's a brilliant idea." "It wasn't really an idea." "It might as well have been." "It's perfect." "It's not just the baby." "It's, you know, it's you as well." "I think we're good together." "I thought I was Miss Jean Brodie." "I was wrong." "I've been thinking about this." "You're George Graham." "The Arsenal manager." "And that's good, is it?" "It's brilliant." "You're careful and organised and methodical and all that." "That's why we work." "I need somebody like that." "And you need somebody like me..." "Work well as a team." "Not even as a team, as a club." "Paul, you do talk some terrible nonsense." "It's not." "It's the truth." "It's all working out." "Wife and baby, that'll do me." "Who said anything about a wife?" "We'd want to do it properly, wouldn't we?" "Liam?" "If it's a boy." "The greatest Arsenal player ever but it's a nice name." "Better apply for the job." "What job?" "Rosie's Head of Year job." "I said no - but now, brilliant." "Perfect timing." "We'll need a bit more money 'cause we'll need a house." " Paul..." " Ted'll be pleased, anyway." " Liam, brilliant." " Paul..." "We could live near the ground." "It's cheap 'cause no-one wants a football stadium on their doorstep." "I'd pay extra but we won't tell the estate agent." "Mortgage, wife, kid - cool." "Paul, none of this is real." "You're behaving like a little kid." "I've been impregnated by a 12-year-old!" "Oh, thanks." "Thanks very much." "Sorry about that." "No problem, sir." "Sorry, you were saying?" "Paul, this is exactly what I mean." "That was just a one-off." "Never happened before." "I promise it won't be a regular feature of life." "Paul..." "I haven't made up my mind what I'm doing about this yet." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "No, not really." "I can't see this working out." " It's my last chance." " Don't be silly." "It's just what it feels like." "Are you prepared to be a one-parent family?" "I think if we go through with this, one of us is gonna have to be." "No, it'll be brilliant." "I don't think I've been since George Eastham was in the team." "Before my time." "He was a lovely player." "The sort you don't get any more." "Languid and thoughtful and elegant." "You should come and watch Tony Adams." "How can I help, anyway?" "I changed my mind about that Head of Year job, if it's not too late." "No." "No, excellent." "I'm very pleased." "I've had a couple of applications but I'd be glad to add your name." "Thank you." "Any particular reason for the change of mind?" "There is, actually, yes." "Er, Miss, um..." "Well, Miss Hughes is pregnant." "Sarah Hughes?" "History?" "Yes, yes, of course." "Um..." "Well, I didn't, um..." "I mean, she..." "How does this affect you?" "Sorry, no." "I left a bit out." "I'm the father." "I should've told you that straight away, shouldn't I?" "Anyway, yes, we're having a baby." "I haven't heard this from her." "You're hearing it from me, now." "Sorry, Paul, I can't share your joy." "Sarah's been with us five minutes and a member of staff has knocked her up!" "I'm intending to marry her and everything." "We won't embarrass the school." "You already have embarrassed the school!" "How on earth are we supposed to talk to kids about responsibility and contraception and... and the rest of it when the staff themselves..." "Words fail me!" " I thought you'd be pleased." " About what?" "The clandestine affair?" "The accidental pregnancy?" "Not those bits, maybe, but me applying for the job." "That's good, isn't it?" "Are you a complete fool, Paul?" "I'll talk to you later." "Yeah, OK, OK." "Calm down." "I want you to take your foot off the gas in the second half." "What's the fun of beating a team 15 or 20-nil?" "It's brilliant fun!" "All right." "Just take it easy, eh?" "You're like vultures." "Now go on!" "Come on, lads!" "Oh, hi." "We're winning 8-nil." "Er, 9-nil." "Calm down!" "Are you a complete fool?" "You've been to see Ted." "He's not best pleased with us." "Who else are you gonna tell?" "The kids?" "We could recreate what we did in assembly." "Find the Durex that split and bring it in." "I could lose my job!" "They can't sack you for getting pregnant." "I haven't been here long enough for maternity leave." "The union'll help." "None of this is the point, Paul." "The point is..." "How many times have I told you about playing to the whistle?" "Call me later, OK?" "See, if we..." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "FUCK!" "Come on, you useless shower!" "This lot are crap - get stuck in!" "I'm not a psychologist... but I'd suggest that taking up smoking the week you find out you're pregnant indicates a certain ambivalence towards the pregnancy on your part." "He's given up." " Paul?" "!" " Mm-hm." "Mr First Thing in the Morning?" "Yeah." "We're both making it clear where we stand." "I start drinking and smoking and he's given everything up." "This is horrible." "I don't care how much damage it's doing to me." "So if everything's as bad as you make out, how come you're not applying for jobs in..." "Pitlochry?" "I know Paul's gone completely mad." "I know, I know, I know." "It's just that it kind of rubs off on you somehow." "It makes a difference" " to how you think about things." " Like?" "Like today, right?" "I want us to win." " With you so far." " I think we will." "Home to Norwich, you'd usually predict two-nil defeat." "Nil-nil if you was on top of the world." "If we don't, it's not the end of the world." "Four games left." "twelve points to be won." "That's not what I mean." "If we don't win the League," "I'll cope because of Sarah and the baby." "When you've got nothing else going on," "Arsenal fill all the gaps." "You end up getting in a state about losing to Spurs when really you should be getting in a state about yourself." "But we will win today." "Sun's out, I'm gonna be a father," "Alan Smith's back." "Five-nil, no trouble." "Let's go." "'George Graham off the bench 'to shake hands with a very disappointed Dave Stringer." "'Norwich know their Championship challenge 'has evaporated." "'Arsenal's is very much 'on course after today." "'Arsenal five, Norwich City nil." "'Alan Smith the man of the match 'with two goals, 'one of them a splendid effort... '" "Everything's happening at once and it's brilliant." "Stick with me." "No way we won't win the League." "It's all you, is it?" "Nothing to do with George, Smithy, Rocky or me buying sugar mice?" "You never get feelings like that?" "I felt brilliant the day we got knocked out of the League by Walsall." "Got a pay rise, got off with Caroline Walsh the night before." "Fat lot of fucking notice this lot took." "Some of us have it, some of us haven't." "You must've had a shitty life for 18 years." "I haven't had it all the time but I've got it this season in spades." "Did you go?" "Yeah." "We were great, weren't we?" "My mum wants a season ticket." "Can I have a quick word?" "We're just talking about the rout of Norwich." "Yes, saw it on TV." "Very impressive." "It's good that Alan Smith's back." "Yeah." "Run along, Robert." "I had a word with the Governors." "They'll be happy to interview you for Head of Year." "Thanks, Ted." "Ted..." "I'm not planning to make a habit of this if that's what you're worried about." "It's something out of the ordinary for me." "Just be prepared, OK?" "School Governors can be a funny lot." "'.." "Still Middlesborough nil," "'Arsenal nil... '" "You're kidding." "No way." "Can't afford anywhere else." "N5's not the only place in the world, you know." "Sarah, you know that's not true." "You hardly hear anything, most games." "How often do they play?" "Once a month." " Something like that." " Right." "Do they leave much mess?" "No." "Shall I leave you to look around?" "Thanks, yeah." "What does it matter how close to the ground you live as long as you can come to the games?" "When I was a kid, I read this... story about what used to happen round here on Cup Final days if Arsenal were playing." "They'd have this procession." "The women and kids dressed up in fancy dress and led the men going to Wembley to the station." "I lived in Maidenhead." " What did we have there?" " Money, decent schools, holidays abroad, enough food." "Yeah." "You're right, yeah." "I was lucky." "But I was rootless, too." "I didn't have anything like that." "Nothing I could be proud of, nothing I can look back on and feel sentimental about except telly programmes and pop music." "But it's different here." "Anyway... it's close to the tube." "It's 50 minutes from the West End." "It's not far from school." "I'm not prepared to indulge your fantasies." "The best thing for you would be to get further away, not a few yards nearer." " It doesn't feel like that." " Tough." "Is there a problem?" " No." " No!" "It's a lovely house." "Really." "It's just the view." "'So George Graham... '" "Tell me again what was wrong with that place in..." "Creighton Avenue." "The one with the garden." "'Despite all their control, Arsenal... '" "I'm talking to myself." "Somewhere a bit further north, anyway." "Bounds Green?" "'John Lukic prepares to play it downfield... '" "Watford?" "'.." "Into the Middlesborough half... '" "How about Darlington?" "There's a team there." "'Goal!" "'" "YES!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Helsinki." "Helsinki United are really good this season." "One Martin Hayes!" "There's only one Martin Hayes!" "One Martin..." "So, Paul..." "Confident?" "Sorry, not about the job." "About what's going on down the road." "Arsenal." "My boy tells me you're a fan." "Oh, right." "Well, er... so far, so good." "Season ticket holder?" "Yes." "Whereabouts?" "Er, North Bank." "Right, shall we, um...?" "Who d'you think we should sign?" "Think we need a new striker?" "Er..." "I'm delighted we didn't get Kerry Dixon." "Ray..." "Ray, I think we should, um..." "Oh, sorry, Ted." "Once you get going, it's hard to stop." "We know all about your teaching abilities." "What extra-mural activites are you involved in?" "Paul's just coached the Under-14s to the Cup Final." "My Nigel thinks you should be England Manager." "Might be a more suitable position than Head of Year." "I did the school play last summer and..." "Who've we got in the final?" "Parkside?" "Are they any good?" "Pretty good." "And I've been very much involved in the pastoral side of things as a form teacher." "And we understand that, um, you're an expectant father." "Um... yes." "That's one of the extra-mural activities you forgot to mention, Paul." "Chatting up other members of staff." "MORE than chatting them up." "You've got good taste, I'll give you that."

"It's only a game." "DON'T SAY THAT!" "Please!" "That is the worst, most stupid thing anyone could say!" "It quite clearly isn't only a game." "If it was, d'you honestly think I'd care this much?" "Eh?" "18 years!" "18... years!" "D'you know what you wanted 18 years ago?" "Or ten?" "Or five?" "Did you wanna be Head of Year at a North London comprehensive?"

"If anyone can fix the 2000 neural portal, it's you." "Ho damn Liam always sticking his nose in the places where it doesn't belong." "Don't give me that look." "How was I supposed to stop him?" "Hold on!" "This isn't about either of you!" "We've got to get Liam out of there." "Ho!" "hold on here is your problem!" "Looks like your portal grid's out of juice." "Thanks!" "We knew that!" "If we'd been using our heads, Liam could have taken a portable portal down with him but he's stuck down there." "See if you can get the juice flowing again?" "Then we'll just gonna have to improvise" "Liam, it's Augur." "I'm on the case." "Listen..." "What's your power situation?" "I feel a all lot better knowing you're here Augur." "There's power in the chamber but I can't find the source." "Well, then if there's power, then we just gonna have to get this baby back online." "Let's look under the hood, shall we?" "You okay?" "Oh, my god." "It's Ma'el." "In the flesh..." "Holographically speaking that is." "He recorded this 2,000 years ago." "Liam..." "Can you translate?" "After his ship crashed, Ma'el found an alien colony... not Taelon, nor Atavus." "They came here 8 billion years before he did." "Atavus?" " That's a Taelon proto-species, they're extinct!" " Not totally, this is a healing chamber." "Ma'el designed it to regenerate the Taelons with the healing energy in the pool." "It's the Atavus residual life force." "The Taelons are descending from the Atavus;" "they might be compatible." "Ma'el knew that the dying taelons would follow him here." "This chamber was what he left for them." "Why involve humans?" "Why make someone solve a nine-dimensional code?" "To force the Taelons to collaborate with humans instead of dominate us." "Ma'el also said that two of us must assist the regeneration." "One kimera and one human, more evolved than the others but..." "We gonna need his relic to solve the 9th dimension of the riddle." "Don't look at me!" "I'm not going near the 9th dimension." "And don't "oh, Street" me." "I came to help get you out of there, and that's it." "Renee... is there a pilot at Doors that you can trust to keep a secret?" " A pilot?" "What for?" " Take the shuttle to the mother ship." "Have Da'an pick five other taelons and bring them back here, with Ma'el's relic." "In the meantime, we're gonna figure out how to engineer a miracle." "We saw the light, as it was foretold by Ma'el." "Liam has led the way to our salvation." " There is new hope for my species." " For six of you, at least." "That's better than extinction." "It would be impossible for me to select who lives and who dies." "Well, somebody has to..." "It's the Titanic." "There are six seats on a life raft." "You have to lead Da'an!" "There is an ancient Taelon procedure." "Humans might call it a "triage"." "We group our consciousness and our energy." "Once merged, the commonality of over 400 can live on within the bodies of six." "Ma'el also said you'll need the relic that contains his original manuscript." "We maintain it in a secure chamber." "I shall retrieve it." "I must thank you, Miss Palmer." "My friend is trapped in a rock coffin." "I'll do anything it takes to save him." "Maybe the Taelons are ready to give up, Da'an..." "Humans can resist a long shot." "And Taelons understand that long shots are pointless." "I now have the relic, Da'an, and have thereby reduced my risk to nearly zero." "Give me a report, soldier." "We detected a spurious energy signal." "Traced it to this device." "It doesn't appear on any of the mothership technical diagrams." " Have you told anyone?" " No, Sir, I informed you first." "Good." "Erase any log entries of this occurrence and investigate no further." "I'll take it from here." "Jaridians..." "It is time." "Four hundred and five will enter and merge, and only six will leave." "How Zo'or plans on carrying out his selfish quest eludes me." "All of the portals are non-operational." "He has the relic, but we don't have time to wait." "Ready to leave when you are, with or without Zo'or." "Zo'or, what have you done?" "Observe the first rule of the galaxy, Da'an." "Energy may neither be created nor destroyed." "I have conserved what remained in several of our brethen for my own use." "This is an abomination!" "This is murder!" "You are damned." "Were you not about to ask them to merge so that you might live?" "I refuse to sacrifice my individuality to the commonality." "Rather I choose to regenerate alone and intact." "Relinquish the relic." " Ma'el's prophecy is sacrosanct." " Sacrosanct and subject to revision." "Time is precious." "I suggest you proceed quickly with this pitiful integration ritual." "By the time you reach the Atavus regeneration chamber, there will be one less bio-receptacle available." "Renee, what the hell are you doing?" "You're not authorized to be up there." "I've a team of Doors engineers working on an energy transfer that should allow for a controlled descent." "Don't waste your time." "We just pulled 4 ICBMs out of cold storage and being prepped for launch." " Nuclear warheads?" "Hubble, they're banned!" " Yeah, well, we kept some... megatons under the perma-ice in Rostock." "Nothing like having a few nukes for a rainy day." "Hubble, listen to me." "Our destiny is linked to the Taelons." "The Taelons aren't our destiny." "They are a detour." "So spare me the palaver get your butts off that mothership now!" "That's an order." "Urick, you can shove your order." "Thanks for the update." "What?" "Renee says Hubble Urick has turned into Dr. Strangelove and Zo'or's got Ma'el's relic." "Forget the relic, we fix the portal, get Liam back, we're out of here." "No..." "Liam's right." "There's a divine plan out of this, this is got to be." " Don't go cosmic on me Augur!" " Me?" "Cosmic?" "You're the one with the multi-dimensional brain." "Hey!" "I know you think you're cursed, but your gifts equal..." " chaos." " Look where we are Augur!" " What more proof do you need?" " You're smarter than that!" "You are..." "Hey!" "What's the underlying principle to chaos theory?" "Infinite correlation, perfection made manifest." "That's how you fit into this all equation." "Stop it!" "Don't try to make this all add up, you can't." "Why?" "Because I'm no longer looking for an angle?" "Liam's right, Juliette." "This was all meant to happen, it was all meant to bring us here, now." "To bring humanity to this place." "The future of our entire species depends on what's going to happen next." " Liam, what's up?" " I think we've got similarities here, between Taelon stasis tech and these Atavan modules." "I'm gonna download some light data and send it your way, OK?" "Sounds good." "Transmitting." "Look at the particle dragging, it's intense." "I've been here before 8 dimensions." "This must be a glimpse of the 9th." "So, what do we do now?" "I don't know." "Isolate the Taelon components, see what we get." "Half-baked, but what the hell." "Liam, we're gonna transfer a first draft start-up protocol." "Hit me." "Good work." "The modules are responding to the Taelon protocols." "Sweet." "Liam, what's going on?" " I think we've reactivated the energy pool." " You're kidding?" "You can't question destiny, Street, it's just roll-roving." "I'm transferring the bio-readings back to you now, tell me what we have." "We've activated the regeneration sequence but according to this, we've only got an hour before it overloads." "Maybe even less." "The selection process has been completed." "I now carry a portion of the combined Taelon consciousness, as do five others, and they are on the way to the shuttle bay." "Let's get you all down to the regeneration chamber now, before Zo'or finds a way to get there first." "Zo'or still has the relic and we cannot locate him." "One problem at a time." " Vorjak." " Sandoval." "I can't let you board just yet." "I should not be surprised." " You betrayed us once before." " You sent the raiders to destroy Earth." "I remain true to our original agreement of mutual self-interest." "But now you trap us..." "Why?" "To kill us?" "It is my fondest wish to see the Taelons annihilated." "It is not my wish to see my planet obliterated." "This is where I choose to live and prosper." "So..." "I propose we agree on a new arrangement." " What?" " Spare Earth, and subjugate it, so that I may rule." "You have the weapons to dominate the entire planet, and I want them." "You give them to me, and I will deliver you the Taelons." "Agreed." "Intruder alert, deck five." "Intruder alert, deck five." "Follow me." "We need to get to the bridge deck quickly." "You promised me the Taelons." "Where are they?" "They've abandoned ship." "You may not have noticed Vorjak, but we're in a shutdown mode, without power, in an untethered, descending orbit." " They've returned to Earth then, to die?" " No... to live." "To be resurrected by Atavan technology discovered in a regeneration chamber beneath the surface of the Earth." "There are six bio-receptacles ready to be inhabited." "On a first come for serve basis." " Where is this place?" " I don't know the precise location." "But..." "I have tracked where the shuttle carrying the Taelons has gone." "Tell me now..." " or die!" " We're all going to die, Vorjak." "Look at yourself, look at your men." "Your hyper-metabolisms are ready to implode." "You kill me, you kill yourselves, while the Taelons live on and on." " What do you want?" " Exactly what I asked for..." "Earth." "Intact, under Jaridian dominion and my rule." "Access to the regeneration chamber is my insurance, and I'm not letting you go there without me." "Agreed." "Take us there at once." "In order to do that I'll need your help to power up a shuttle." "I assume you still have a ration of core energy with you." "No." "It was depleted during our voyage here." "But we can remove the energy packs from our weapons." "If we do that to supply power to the shuttle only, it should be enough for the journey." "Augur..." "Street..." "I'm burning up down here." "Are you still getting the bio-reading from the receptacles?" "Yeah holding steady." " How's the portal coming?" " Street, Augur..." "There are five other Taelons in the shuttle." "Help me get them." "I'll have to get in line." "Liam comes out before a Taelon goes in." "Why that?" "We jump-started the regeneration cycle but it triggered an overload." "Da'an?" " I have restored the reserve power." " Get Liam out of there before he fries." "I regret, but the nature of this portal is mono-directional." "One way?" "Why the hell is that?" "Ma'el was worried that the Atavus might spontaneously regenerate and leave before the Taelons arrived." "I will go to Liam." "Perhaps I can reverse the portal's directionality from within the chamber." "We're at Defcon 5 Sir." " Are there any humans still on board?" " One." "An FBI Agent, Ronald Sandoval." "You're talking sub-human there." " What about Renee Palmer?" " We know her shuttle left the mothership." "We can't confirm if she was on board." "The mothership's shields are weakened." "She's nearly defenseless." "It should be a turkey shoot." "I'm not gonna try to rain on our own parade here." "I want to blow that mother to hell and be done with it, while it's on the far side of the moon." "Targeting coordinates have been set." "Missile command is standing by for launch authorization." "All right." "I'll recommend to the President that we do it now." "The energy packs have been integrated into the power grid." "Good!" "Computer, direct all but essential base level power to the shuttle bay." " Unable to comply." " Why?" "Power has already been diverted to the portal system." "Zo'or!" "He was aboard." "He'll reach the regeneration chamber before us." "We won't be far behind." "Computer, store portal coordinates." "Emergency alert." "Sensors have detected four incoming missiles with nuclear fission warheads." "Its target trajectory is portside." "Five minutes to impact." "Divert power to port shields!" "Change course headings: 207.8" "Major Kincaid?" "I heard you had preceded me here." "As always..." "I am impressed with your resourcefulness." "Zo'or, how did you get the link?" "Da'an and your friend Miss Palmer unknowingly revealed to me the Atavus whereabouts, and Ma'el's divining rod was programmed with a preset link to this portal." "A useful antiquity, I must say." "What about the other Taelons?" "If you use one of those receptacles," " there won't be enough for everyone else." " They are of no concern..." "Because you see, Major Kincaid, the future is mine." "Zo'or, don't." "We haven't unlocked the 9th dimension of the riddle." "I'm getting a new bio-reading from the regeneration chamber." "We had an unexpected visitor." " What?" " Zo'or." "He portalled in, using Ma'el's relic." "Then he took a dip in the Atavus energy pool." "He tried to... merge with their life force." "But..." "Something went wrong." "Really wrong." "I am ready to join you now, Liam." "However, I must inform you," "Ma'el designed this portal with one-directional capability only." "Look," "I don't care how you do it but get my friend's butt out there somehow, someway." " Do you understand?" " Our friend... understood." "Wait!" "Are you sure, Zo'or's history?" " Why?" " His residual energy is still in the chamber." "It started out chaotic but now it's elliptical." "Infinite correlation..." "Divine oder..." "Perfection made manifest!" " What are you talking about?" " That's where I have to be." "Vorjak!" "Change of plan." "We don't need the shuttle." "I have the datalink to take us the chamber." " All we have to do is power the bridge portal." " Impossible!" "Our weapons packs don't have enough energy to activate the I.D matrix." "You'll have to divert power from the shields." "We can't render the ship defenses, those are nuclear warheads are coming at us!" "Shields are semi-deployed." "Impact in two minutes." "I do not wish to die in this Taelon crypt." "Do it!" "Liam!" "Liam?" "!" "Liam?" "Street, what are you doing down here?" "You were right." "Augur were right." "I'm not a curse, I'm a gift, just like you." " A gift, I see that now." " Okay, easy, easy." "Ha'gel and Ma'el, they were talking about us, in tandem, in time, in space and..." " Oh my god!" "Is that...?" " Zo'or..." "I'm afraid so." "My child!" "He thought he could use Ma'el's relic and Atavus life force to gain immortality." "But it was an illusion." " Perhaps it is not in our destiny to survive." " No, no you're wrong!" "Listen to me..." "Ma'el was a Kimera devoty, mystic wrote the Taelon party line whose prophecy said... that your and your face alone, Liam, would appear from out of the code from Ma'el's riddle to unite the divided." "What about you?" "Do you fit into this?" "Where do you think my multidimensional gifts come from?" "From the same place that all creation finds its true origin:" "From the unifying field..." "We are that unifying field of possibility, Liam." "We are the key to the 9th dimension." "We just have to go through the gate together." "You and me." "Human to human." "Maybe a little Kimera thrown in." "Shields are down, we've got to get off!" " Inside!" "Move, now!" " Vorjak..." "Hel..." "We will survive you after all, Da'an." "After we regenerate with the Atavus, we will take great pleasure in watching the last of your species die." "Look at him!" "Look at your ennemy Vorjak." "That's what will happen if you regenerate with the Atavus alone." "Lies!" "Why should I believe a human slave of the Taelons?" "It's real simple... the only way for a Taelon or a Jaridian to survive is for both species to give up the fight and to return to their origins." "Together you were Atavus." "Together, and only together, you will survive as Atavus." "Liam, you've got to get the hell out of there now!" "The magma pressure in this volcano is about to shoot you to the roof." "I can't" " I'm needed here." "Hey, didn't you hear what she said, this thing is about to blow." "Then, go, get to the shuttle and save yourselves." "We survived until the end of our kind, Da'an." "What now?" "Together, we shall go forward." "Goodbye, Da'an." "Goodbye, Liam." "And thank you, for all the brethren and for all time... you were our salvation." " Street, go!" " No, we can't do it!" "It's a one-way portal." " Yeah for me, not for you!" " No, I meant to be here too." "Okay, if you were meant to be here," " the portal won't take you." " No, I want to be here, Liam." "I'll see you on the outside!" "I promise!" "Now, get out of here!" "Thank god you made it." "Liam?" "No time for goodbyes, Renee." " I just need to see this thing through." " I understand." "It's his destiny now, and we're not part of it." "Let's go." "The Atavan life force" "It needs both Taelon and Jaridian energies to regenerate." "I don't know what they'll become, but... it's in the hands of destiny now."

"Come on." "Looks like we've been tracking each other, Scar." "Fight!" "No, no more fighting." "I came to tell you your people are dead, Scar." "Now we fight." "Maybe you die, maybe I die." "Maybe we both die." "Scar, I could shoot you right now." "Fight." "Well, if someone else hadn't shot you, I guess I would've." "You lost a lot of blood." "Given time, you'd have bled to death." "Here." "Go ahead and drink it." "If you're thinking about taking my hair, I got your weapons right here." "No." "No more fighting." "It is done." "I'll be damned." "So where do we stand, Secretary Stanton?" "We can impeach the President." "We just need the votes." "If we don't get them?" "The war will have been fought for no reason." "The Confederacy will rise again." "Reconstruction program-- -lt isn't working." "Don't get me wrong... your bureau's doing a fine job, but the President is a stumbling block!" "George, what a surprise." "Good to see you out and about." "Thank you." "Stanley, this is Mrs. Madeline Main." "A pleasure to finally meet you." "Thank you, sir." "If you two gentlemen will excuse me." "What's all the commotion?" "President Johnson vetoed the Republicans' Civil Rights Bill." "He's denying freed men equal access to the law... and then bleating about states' rights." "He's turning back the clock, for God's sake." "Could I speak to you in private?" "ln my office." "Very impressive, Stanley." "You wear your success well." "What brings you here, George?" "I was just wondering." "What are your plans as far as politics are concerned?" "We are organizing our support." "We have a perfect platform." "In fact... it seems the election in our district is mine for the taking." "I see." "Campaigns can get pretty expensive, I understand." "Of course, Isabel and I will be funding a lot of it." "Would you like to make a contribution, George?" "There's something that puzzles me, Stanley." "You have wealth, and now prominence and position... yet your appetite for venality and corruption never seem to be satisfied." "Damn you, George." "Whatever I have, you've never thought I deserved it." "I may have made mistakes in the past... but you have to give me credit for who I am now." "I am making an important contribution here!" "Let me tell you why I'm here." "There's a company mining phosphates down on Mont Royal, the Main plantation." "It's the kind of unjust operation that gives reconstruction a bad name." "This is one of their labor contracts." "It's more than that." "This is a bondage contract." "Reprehensible!" "There is also a company store dealing in scrip coupons... juggling outrageous prices against the Negroes." "That is intolerable." "We did not free those people only to force them back into servitude." "Unfortunately, the Bureau has no jurisdiction over such stores." "The Bureau may be helpless, but you, my brother, are not." "What do you mean?" "The mining company is a partnership... between Madeline's brother-in-law, Cooper Main... and one Isabel Truscott, your wife." "Isabel, in my study." "Now!" "I understand you own a controlling interest in the Mont Royal mine. ls it true?" "Why, yes, George." "What of it?" "I put it in my maiden name, Stanley." "There's no connection to you." "My God, you're unbelievable." "Your partnership underwrites a company store... that deals in illegal labor contracts... while your husband is head of the Freedmen's Bureau." "What kind of ruination is that?" "I know nothing about the management of the mine... or the store, George." "You'll be selling your shares to George." "What?" "Don't be ridiculous." "Nobody knows except him." "I'm sure George won't do anything to ruin the precious Hazard family name." "Shut up, Isabel!" "How dare you jeopardize my position?" "George will pay you $1 for your 1." "Your dear brother is cheating you out of a fortune." "Sign it!" "Stanley, please." "Don't you see?" "This is the opportunity" "Sign it." "Take this with my apology." "l've misjudged you, Stanley." "Thank you." "You idiot!" "Now look at what you've done!" "You're such a fool for your brother's good opinion." "I made you!" "And now you're throwing it all away." "God, you make me feel dirty." "I've hated myself for years for listening to you, for doing what you said." "You've done your best to ruin me." "But no more, Isabel." "Never again." "I want you out of this house tonight." "Stanley, certainly you don't mean that." "Think of all the things we've shared, all the things you'd miss" "Tonight, Isabel!" "Take whatever you want." "I never want to see your face again." "Well, what can I say?" "It's nice." "Why, Mrs. Fenway, it's much more than simply nice." "The previous owners imported the furnishings from all over the world." "Yes, I'm sure." "However, the furnishings are not to my nor my husband's taste... though I'm sure that the previous owners were affluent and influential people?" "Very." "Would you happen to know who their closest acquaintances were?" "Mrs. Fenway, the cream of Chicago society." "What did you tell me that your name was again?" "Eric." "That's a lovely name, one of my favorites." "Eric, perhaps you could furnish me with a list of those names?" "I don't know as that would be ethical." "It's a pity." "My husband and I are poorly acquainted here in Chicago." "We just love to entertain, and a list like that would greatly aid us." "Why, it could benefit you, as well." "Me?" "Yes, of course, you." "After all, you'd be coming to all our soirees." "And what better way to get new clientele than through social events?" "In such a case, I think that my husband and I might consider... a total purchase." "Well, I think the list could be arranged." "Yes, I think it could be." "You bought Isabel's shares in the mine?" "Yes, I did." "l can't believe it." "So that makes us partners." "There's a good future in this for everyone." "If you want to work with us, we're happy to have you." "With that woman?" "That's enough, Cooper!" "George, please." "We were hoping, for the sake of the family... to continue this partnership." "What family?" "If you'd rather not, I'll buy you out on the spot." "All right, I'll go along with you." "But don't forget, I own the land." "You make one mistake, I'll throw you out." "Do I make myself clear?" "Very." "Pleasure doing business with you." "Something's gone bad in him." "It used to be just his anger toward me, but now...." "Feeling powerless can turn a man, I know that." "Let's hope he stays sensible." "Where's the place they're making the saw-blade?" "Tackett's Smithy." "Are you Tackett?" "Why haven't you delivered that saw-blade Mrs. Main ordered some months ago?" "Nobody ever come around for it with the right amount of money." "Mr. Tackett, the blade was never ready." "How much is it?" "$0." "There's your $0, minus 10 for the delay." "I want that saw blade delivered to Mont Royal by tonight, understand?" "Good." "Mrs. Main thanks you." "George?" "Over here." "I've brought you some lunch." "Every mine needs an office." "If you find me a mattress, I'll bunk down here, as well." "You're staying?" "Of course." "But not in your kitchen with two chairs and a raggedy pillow for a bed." "Hello, Mr. Winant." "Mrs." "Main." "Scott Winant is the new mine manager." "This is Mr. George Hazard." "So you're the mine manager, Mr. Winant?" "Yes, sir." "Where you from?" "Charleston, sir... but I rent a room behind Gettys LaMotte's store." "First thing I want you to do is tear up those illegal labor contracts." "How does that sit with you, Mr. Winant?" "You're the boss." "And tell me, what do you think a fair wage for a miner is?" "I think $1 a month." "All right, then." "We'll go $1." "But let's make it $1 and up, according to skill." "Those are high wages for niggers." "These are fine men. I never want to hear them called anything but men." "If you have an objection to that, you can go back to Charleston." "Yes, sir." "I mean, no, sir. I have no objections." "If they want to buy land, establish a fair price and see that they get it." "And offer farm tools to them at our cost." "Agreed?" "Agreed." "All right, then." "Now let's go see your landlord, shall we?" "Afternoon, gentlemen." "Which one of you is Gettys?" "I'm George Hazard." "I'm running the Mont Royal mine now." "Yeah, Cooper Main said as much." "Maybe he also told you no more scrip." "But I'm here to redeem what you have at the price agreed." "Then have a look." "Let me see if I can find it here." "Mr. Winant, you still going to be wanting to rent that room?" "That is my intention." "No scrip, my profits go down, rent goes up." "Sorry." "Then the bed linens get washed once a week." "What's the total there, Gettys?" "$3." "lf you have a pen, I have a bank draft." "Gettys, may I suggest you lower your prices?" "If you don't, we'll be forced to offer supplies to our workers at cost." "Mr. High and Mighty." "This says $33." "Shall we count the scrip together?" "l feel like I've been cheated." "You do?" "Chalk it up to my being Mr. High and Mighty." "Pardon me, sir." "Got a present for me?" "For both of us." "It's such a fine spring day, I prepared a picnic." "I think the mine's going to work." "I like Winant, and the men like working for him." "Jack Ouinlan could run the mine from Pennsylvania... after all you've done." "Fine." "What would I do then?" "Whatever you do best." "Throw my weight around?" "You trying to get rid of me?" "No, never." "How are the children?" "They're fine, but they're at school." "Safest place for them." "Will you ever forgive yourself, George?" "Or me?" "You?" "For what?" "If you hadn't been so concerned with my life..." "Constance might" "No, it's not that way at all." "Bent was waiting for me." "He would've waited forever." "He knew what it would do to me." "Given the opportunity, he'd destroy both of our families." "But I'll get him before he does." "I swear I'll get him." "Something woke me." "I had a nightmare about Libby Prison." "I rarely dream about the war anymore." "What do you dream about?" "l dream of you... as you are now." "Thank you." "No." "This telegram just came." ""Elkanah Bent in St. Louis..." ""has kidnapped August Main, son to Charles." ""Whereabouts of Charles Main unknown." "lnvestigation proceeds."" "I've got to go find him." "No, George." "Let the Pinkertons." "That's what they" "No, Charlie broke me out of Libby Prison." "I owe him my life. I got to go." "How is it that men never learn?" "You're not going off to find a little boy." "You're going off to find that animal and have your vengeance." "What if you don't return?" "If anything should happen to me, you'll be taken care of." "The mine, the mill" "Stop it!" "Don't you understand?" "I love you so much." "Nothing could ever keep me from coming back." "Please don't go." "I'm sorry, I must." "Ashton, you've got a lovely home." "Thank you, sir. I like to show it off as much as possible." "I must say you do dance divinely." "It's one of the most expensive houses in Chicago." "Really?" "That's what they tell me." "Who said that?" "Excuse me, may I have the pleasure?" "Why, yes, thank you." "You look very nice." "Thank you so much." "So do you." "Your rubies are wondrous." "Thank you." "Sir, may I?" "You look lovely." "Thank you so much, and so do you." "Thank you for coming to my little party." "I wouldn't have missed it." "I was looking forward to seeing you." "Champagne?" "Yes, I'd love some." "Forrest, you naughty boy." "You spoil me, Fen." "I don't think I can thank you enough." "Tonight was wonderful." "It was just like the nights we had at Mont Royal way before the war." "Everybody came and told me how they thought this cottage was so beautiful." "It's a great mausoleum." "I'm sure Harry would feel quite comfortable in it." "I know his name." "I know the names of all your indiscretions." "Unfortunately, I probably always will." "And now it will be Forrest Wilkerson... unless my eyes deceived me tonight." "Wilkerson lll." "He's very rich." "And handsome and charming" "Fen, you're the one that I love." "I wish you did. I mean, not that it really matters, it's just...." "Sometimes I wonder what I could have done differently..." "what more I could have given you." "What you haven't given me?" "That!" "Mont Royal, the most beautiful and perfect place on earth." "It should have belonged to me." "How many times do I have to tell you that is what I want!" "And I will get it." "Our agents have combed St. Louis." "Not a trace of him, nor the boy." "Where's Charlie now?" "l haven't heard a word for a while." "He gave up his position as scout at Fort Hayes after Cottonwood Creek." "No one's seen him since." "See what you can find out, will you?" "Yes, sir." "Your wife is feeling much better." "Blames herself for Gus, but...." "Willa Parker, George Hazard." "A pleasure, ma'am." "Mr. Smith from the Pinkerton Agency." "Willa and Charlie, well.... lt's a pleasure to meet you, General." "I've heard a lot about you." "Charlie and I once felt something for each other." "Gus is still very special to me." "Will you be able to find him?" "We're going to do everything we can." "Maureen and I love that boy as if he were our own, George." "Whatever it takes, Matt. I promise." "General Hazard." "It's about Charlie." "He's a good man..." "but since the war, he's been lost." "War does that to some men." "But there's a good and caring side to him." "He's just afraid of it." "I know. I tried to unlock it, and I failed." "But he loves Gus." "If you don't include him in this, it will destroy him." "I know exactly what you mean." "But he's not the same as you remember him." "Please don't give up on him." "Don't worry, that'll never happen." "You'll find Corporal Magee over there." "Corporal Magee?" "Nice work on that sorrel." "My name's George Hazard." "I'm a friend of Charlie Main's." "I'm told you know him well." "I need to find him." "General Hazard?" "I've heard about you." "What you want with him?" "His son's been kidnapped." "He needs to know." "Who done it?" "A man named Bent." "You heard of him?" "A little." "The Captain don't talk much except when he's been drinking." "I could take you to him if I could get some leave." "I think that can be arranged." "How far is he?" "All the way to Abilene." "Charlie, give me that bottle, son." "Come on, let's get you in the tack room so you can sleep it off." "Stop it, damn it!" "Stand up!" "You're too drunk to be fighting." "Get in there and get you some sleep." "Go on." "Anybody here?" "Damn it, I need some feed." "What the hell am I supposed to do?" "Help myself and let you folks whistle on down the wind?" "I got money here." "I'm no thief." "Charlie Main." "God must be looking down on his angel of vengeance." "Wake up!" "I got your little boy." "Wake up!" "You look like hell." "You smell like a dead snake." "I know what you need, Main." "You need a bath and shave." "I'm going to clean you up, Main." "You're going to be so sorry, Main." "It's not that I got anything against killing a sleeping Main... but this is going to be a lot more fun." "And don't you know, Charlie, I just love to have fun." "Here I go." "You look real good now." "Left your daddy a little message, Gus." "Men afoot approaching a livery... must mean you gents are looking to rent something to ride." "You come to the right place." "We're looking for Charles Main." "You come to the right place for that, too." "That is, if you can sober him up." "I ain't had much luck at that recently." "Come on, he's in the tack room." "I never saw a man who's better with horses when he's sober." "Lately, he's been a real problem." "Good Lord." "You get us some coffee." "Stick of dynamite will do better." "Charlie, wake up." "Excuse me, General." "Damn it!" "Magee?" "And George Hazard?" "There's big trouble." "Elkanah Bent, he's got your boy Gus." "You know where he is?" "Not yet." "Beg pardon, gentlemen, but I think we do." "Whoa, boy." "We're leaving a nice little trail for your daddy to follow, boy." "Of course it can't be too good, or he'll catch up to us too soon." "Don't you worry." "He'll be along." "So you be a good boy." "What you looking at?" "I want your daddy down in Indian Territory." "You know why?" "'Cause I'm going to turn that territory into an empire." "Just for me." "My own empire." "And I want to inaugurate that empire with a big splash." "Know what that splash is going to be?" "Your daddy." "Mr. Charles Main." "We don't serve the likes of him." "Sure you do." "This is my friend." "This gentleman was just about to take our order, weren't you?" "Sure." "What'll it be?" "What do you say, Magic, steak and eggs?" "Yeah, and some pancakes." "How about some biscuits?" "Give me some coffee and some biscuits." "Coffee three times around." "He's going to run us a chase, Charlie." "He may read a map, but he don't know these parts like I do." "You think he's going to keep Gus alive, George?" "Till he sees you." "He'll try and kill him right before your eyes just to make you suffer." "But we're not gonna let that happen." "Fifteen, twenty hours a day in the saddle." "You up for that?" "Better finish your breakfast." "We've got a long day ahead of us." "This isn't Pennsylvania. lt's some of the toughest country God made." "Can you keep up?" "Don't you worry about it." "It is not your problem." "For my son's sake, I sure hope so." "Gentlemen, there is a time for talking, and there is a time for doing." "I figure we done talked more than enough." "You know, he's got a point, Cooper." "You said, "When Hazard left." And he's gone." "I know what I said." "Well, there you are." "When are we going to act?" "Soon." "How soon?" "What I propose is to do enough damage to Mont Royal... so I can buy George Hazard's shares in the mill... and mine, cheaply." "So what you're saying is... this is not just another ride down to scare a few niggers." "You want to run them folks off for good." "Well, that's a war... and for a war... you better have something besides men wearing sheets and carrying torches." "Dynamite." "You got dynamite, Cooper." "You've been demolishing all them ruined docks and such." "You got dynamite for that purpose." "Them damn Yankees, they won't question a few missing sticks." "Maybe." "Maybe, hell." "You're going to requisition a few more sticks and say... that some fool overcharged you for demolition." "Hell, I do it in my business all the time." "That's right." "And if you can't come up with it, I'm sure General Forrest can come up with some." "I've heard an awful lot about Nathan Bedford Forrest... but I don't see him running with this, or risking his neck." "He did some fierce fighting during the war." "The war's over." "Like hell it is." "l'll get the dynamite." "See?" "Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me." "Good evening, Mrs. Main." "What are those men doing in our home, Cooper?" "That's really none of your business, is it?" "First few days are always the hardest, General." "So why don't we take care of these horses later and go get some food?" "Good idea, Magee." "You haven't slowed us down yet." "I don't reckon you're going to... especially seeing how you seem to sit in the saddle a mite easier." "Really?" "I hadn't noticed." "Seen a man with a wagon?" "Yeah, he went that way." "Thank you." "He was here." "He bought supplies three days ago." "What about Gus?" "There was a boy with him." "What you got, Charlie?" "George, these are the stones I gave Gus." "Let's go." "Come on, boy, get up." "Come here." "Get in there." "Sit yourself back in there." "The boy's marking us a trail." "With rocks?" "We might just find our friend Bent before he wants us to." "We'll camp here for the night." "You'll go blind if you keep staring at that rock." "lf l find Gus, George" "When you find him." "I tell you, I'm not going to be apart from him again." "What about Willa?" "You met Willa?" "Sure." "Duncan's house in St. Louis." "She's a fine woman, Charlie." "Yes, she is." "She is." "Charlie, you know... the last couple of months..." "Madeline and I have...." "You know...." "No, what?" "That's good, George." "That's real good." "I don't know what she sees in you, but that's good." "Appreciate the meal, ma'am." "Why do you have the boy bound up so?" "He's not quite right in the head." "He tends to wander off and get lost." "Been that way ever since his pa was killed up by the Platte River." "He's beat up some." "My nephew's a clumsy child." "He's a real danger to himself." "ls that right, boy?" "Where's your husband?" "Out after buffalo." "He'll be back any minute now." "Must be hard living up here... fending for yourselves in the middle of Indian Territory." "Yeah." "We used to get a few visits from the Cheyenne." "Frank and me is expert shots." "They don't come around no more." "That's good." "That's enough." "Give me your spoon." "Listen, maybe you can help me out." "I'm a trading man." "I got goods to sell and trade." "I'm looking for the best spot." "Glyn's Post." "Two days down the Arkansas, west of the Cimarron, follow it downstream." "Come on." "You did good, boy." "You're going to be seeing your daddy real quick." "I thought you said his pa was dead." "Get up here, boy." "Go on." "You just get along now." "Anybody come around here asking for Elkanah Bent... you send them over to Glyn's place." "Step up!" "Looky there." "Yeah, I've seen them." "They've been with us for a few days now." "Get in the back, boy." "He's a little touched in the head." "He might run away and get lost." "He's marked up some." "He fell off a horse." "You Glyn?" "I'm looking for a place to stay for a while." "How's that sit with you?" "0 cents a night for the both of you, unless you want the back room." "That's another $1 ." "You want Green Grass here, it's $2 a whack." "You mind if I take a look around inside?" "You got a nice place here, Mr. Glyn, but the price is too high." "You speak English?" "Plant him in the ground." "Indian camp, Captain?" "No more than two hours dead." "You don't think it's Bent's camp?" "More than likely it's some Indians we've been seeing." "It looks like they're not very shy, either, else this campfire would be spread." "We'll camp here." "Three days, damn it." "No sign of a man that wants to be found." "If there's no sign of Bent before we reach the river, we'll split up." "l don't think we should split up." "Behind you!" "George, Magee, put them down." "He's a friend of mine." "Man-ready-for-war." "Why are you here?" "This place not safe for anybody." "Bad people here." "We're looking for my son." "I have seen a boy." "Very small boy." "The man drives a cart." "l'll be damned." "This man you saw, this is the man that stole my son." "Where did you see him?" "Glyn's Post." "It's one...." "Two days south on the Cimarron." "I leave now to scout this place." "Travel south." "When we meet, I will take you there." "Then I owe you nothing." "I have your tickets to Charleston here... and three days and three nights along the way." "Good. lf you think our house in Chicago is something... wait till you see Mont Royal." "It's so beautiful." "It's got silk curtains, Persian carpets, and beautiful mahogany banisters." "It's such a house." "If you only knew how I've dreamt about having it belong to me." "Right." "Just mind your manners." "But of course." "Bye." "These will be the new docks." "Behind them, the warehouses." "The finest seaport addition in the entire South." "Yes." "The proximity between the docks and warehouses" "Brother, dear." "And, Mr. Keyes, lovely to see you again." "Miss Main, my pleasure." "lt's Mrs. Fenway now." "Of Fenway pianos." "I'm not fully surprised to see you, Ashton." "I'm not entirely pleased, either." "And married, as well?" "Where is Mr. Fenway?" "Busy making money in Chicago." "Will you excuse us, Keyes?" "Yes. I wouldn't want to intrude on a family reunion." "Splendid scheme, Cooper." "We'll talk later." "You interrupted my business." "Why, Cooper, is that any way to greet your sister?" "This is no social call, knowing you." "No." "First things first." "First to me is I want to purchase Mont Royal." "That would be a substantial purchase." "Yes, and we have more than substantial funds." "Thanks to Fen's genius and my industry... we are rich." "There is another complication... and that is that our dear sister-in-law Madeline is ensconced in Mont Royal." "And thanks to her industry, she's making the payments promptly." "Orry was a fool to marry that jumped-up Negress." "But that might just work for us after all." "Fen will transfer funds from our Chicago bank over to your bank in Charleston... and I'll use bribery money to get orders for her immediate eviction." "That might not be necessary." "It may not be necessary, but it will be a pleasure." "Charlie, there's something I got to tell you." "One night, back at the Point... more than 20 years ago..." "Orry and I sneaked out to Benny Haven's for some ale." "Remember that place?" "Bent followed us." "He was always trying to catch us out." "It was the middle of winter." "He sat in this blizzard for a couple of hours so he could put us on report." "We dodged him." "We ran across the river on the ice." "But Bent fell through." "We stood there, heard his cries for help... and we almost didn't go back." "But we did." "We saved his life." "You saved the wrong person but you did the right thing." "I find them." "Your son is alive." "A Cheyenne woman tends them." "The man watches everything." "ls anybody with them?" "Maybe. lnside. I do not know." "l go with you." "No, you've fought enough." "Have not you?" "Yes, but you're alone, aren't you?" "Yes." "Besides, if you die, who is going to teach the young?" "This isn't your war, either." "You think I'll miss out now... you're crazier than that son of a bitch we've been chasing across this country." "Besides, you don't want to scare the boy." "You'd better shave." "Get over here, boy." "Come here." "Go fetch the boy some food in the kitchen." "Howdy do, sir." "Howdy do yourself." "Where you from, boy?" "I'm from about Boston way, sir, and I wanted to just see the world." "Everybody keep talking about the weather." "What you want here?" "Just a place to rest these tired bones." "How long you been riding?" "Are you a buffalo hunter?" "Fixing to be." "You ain't going to find no buffalo around here." "You want to bed down in the yard, that'll be $1 a night." "You want water, that's 0 cents a bucket." "To water your horse, it's 0 cents more." "That some steep price." "You can take it or you can leave it." "What do you say, friend?" "'Spects I'll take it." "What you looking at?" "You got a problem with the boy here?" "That's none of my concern." "But that's some handsome woman." "She's for sale." "$3 a whack." "Why, thank you, but no." "See, I met this Cherokee woman three days back." "She done enough to last a man a whole year." "I'm not interested in hearing that kind of talk from you." "Give me $1 and pick yourself out a soft piece of ground." "Double or nothing for the ground?" "You think I'm some kind of fool, boy?" "No, sir." "You pick yourself a spot, or you be on your way." "Y'all getting too smart for your own good." "I don't think I like you." "I'm sorry to hear that, sir." "When I think about it..." "l think I like you quite a bit." "Get out of here." "Get on your horse." "Yes, boss." "Papa !" "Hello, Bent." "Hazard, you come for your wife's earring?" "You bastard!" "I take no pleasure in killing, but I'll make an exception in your case." "George, don't!" "Save some for Charlie." "I got you, son." "You never did respect me, neither of you." "But I was born to lead great armies... like Hannibal, Alexander, Napoleon." "You and your inferior tribes kept me from my place in history... with your false accusations of desertion, abuse." "You slandered my good name." "But you paid for it, didn't you?" "Do it." "Military genius is a rare gift." "You're killing Bonaparte" "Each man take five sticks of dynamite home with him." "And the night of the attack, we all meet back at Gettys' store... an hour after sundown." "We hit the school or the Negro shacks?" "All of it, including the house." "And, Cooper, it's up to you... to take care of your high yella sister-in-law, Miss Madeline." "What do you mean, take care of her?" "Scrag her, boy." "I never killed anyone in my life." "Now's the time, unless you want her in your life forever." "She has a child." "My nephew." "That little boy is part Negro, just like her." "You want to claim him for yourself... and raise him and pretend that he is a decent white man?" "If he has an ounce of Negro blood in his body... he can never claim to be human." "No." "You with the Brethren or not?" "Come on, Cooper." "Now's the time for deciding." "Yeah, what's it going to be?" "You with us or against us?" "I'm with you." "And you will do what you are called on to do?" "Yes." "Let's ride." "Let's ride." "Come on, boys." "And none too soon." "Come on." "You can't do this." "You can't harm Madeline and the baby." "Are you spying on me?" "That wasn't my intention." "I just saw the horses, and I was curious." "You heard everything?" "l heard more than enough." "Don't let these animals drag you down." "Stay out of my affairs." "But you are planning murder." "Madeline will always be a thorn in my side." "But she is family." "She's a Negress." "We have none of those in my family." "I cannot allow you to do this." "You can't allow?" "You're a woman." "You don't tell me what I can and will not allow." "You, your duty is to me, woman." "You don't tell me anything." "You just support me in what I do." "Why don't you go on inside and tend to your house?" "And see there's a meal... woman." "Judith, what are you doing here?" "I had to come." "What's happened?" "This isn't easy for me." "lt's Cooper." "They mean to wipe you out." "Judith, they've tried before" "This time they mean it." "They mean to destroy everything." "They mean to kill you." "When?" "I don't know." "Soon. I have to get back before Cooper begins to wonder." "Thank you for the warning." "You take care now, Madeline." "Thank you." "Gentlemen, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to leave." "Madeline expects an attack from the Brethren." "The Klan?" "When?" "Anytime." "Could be now." "Excuse me." "I've arranged to go straight through by private car... with orders to be switched all along the line." "I'll be in Charleston by tomorrow night." "Being a General still carries some clout." "l guess it does." "Well, this was supposed to be goodbye seeing you off." "Looks like we're going our separate ways." "Seems so, Captain." "lt's not "Captain" for a long time." "You'll always be that to me." "These are for you." "Thank you, Magic." "You're welcome." "Don't miss your train, Magic." "Good luck, Magic." "General." "Excuse me." "George?" "l'm going with you." "No. lt's time Gus got to know his father." "Gus wouldn't be here without your help." "Damn it, Mont Royal's my home, too." "I'm going along." "All right." "Best hurry with your goodbyes." "The train's about to leave." "Gussie, I got to go away again, but I'll be back very soon." "You'll stay at the Duncan's with Willa." "You understand me, son?" "Yes, I do, Daddy." "Willa, I got to go. I'll be back, I promise." "When?" "Next week?" "Next month?" "Next year?" "l keep my word, Willa." "How can you ask me to wait again?" "You ask for too much, Charlie. lf you go... don't expect to find me here when you come back... if you come back." "Time to go, Charlie." "General." "Willa." "I got to go." "Boy, you're one romantic cuss, aren't you?" "I can't do this, George." "I love you. I'm not going." "I'm never going to leave you again, Willa." "You'll come back." "You always keep your word." "What are you saying?" "You have to go, for George." "For yourself." "Hurry." "I'll be back." "I'll be back for both of you!" "Why, my, my." "Just look at you, Madeline, dear... laboring like the common Negro that you are." "How dare you show your face on my property... after murdering my husband." "I didn't do that." "Bent killed him." "All I wanted was Orry's money." "Get off my property!" "It's not your property anymore." "I just purchased the mortgage from Cooper." "And you see this paper here?" "This is an official eviction notice that I brought with me from Charleston." "So Mont Royal is now mine, and as of this moment... I'm moving in, and you are out." "Ashton, please!" "What the...." "You...." "How dare you!" "Don't ever show your face around here!" "Ashton, that's enough." "Sorry for the inconvenience, Mrs. Main." "What do you think you're doing?" "l'm altering your plans." "What are you saying?" "You don't own Mont Royal." "I never put the money in Cooper's bank." "Then do it immediately." "Please, you're my husband." "Please do it." "Not yet, I'm not. I warned you." "You didn't learn." "Now maybe you will." "My beautiful Mont Royal." "What in God's name has happened to you?" "Come along, Ashton." "Come on, dear." "Come on. lt's all right." "Let's go." "Here we go." "Let's go home." "You know, I didn't really want it that much anyway." "Madeline, why are we building this barricade here?" "Because Mr. Winant said this is going to be our line of defense." "Let's take this sack over there, Prudence." "Good." "Now let's get some of those grain sacks in front of the wheels." "Parker, right up here with those barrels." "Move the wagons back-to-back." "We need to set up a flank position." "Hurry up, now." "What now?" "Ever shoot a rifle?" "Lord, no." "Time to learn." "Let me see your weapon." "Good." "Haven't seen weapons this old since I was a boy." "But they're in good working order." "Can I have a rifle?" "No." "I know how to shoot. Isaac taught me." "And I got a debt to settle." "I know, but I need you to take Orry and hide." "I have no one else." "All right." "But I'd feel better if I were here." "Thank you." "I love you." "Niggers and leaguers, get out of the way" "We're born of the night and vanish by day" "No nations have we but the flesh of a man" "And love niggers best" "The Ku Klux Klan lt's time!" "Let's ride!" "We ought to be there in two more hours." "You better pray we're in time." "Y'all know what a volley means?" "That means you don't go shooting on your own." "You wait till the word's given, then we all fires together." "I don't rightly know about this, Micah." "We don't know nothing about fighting." "We knows about living." "That be good enough." "What if they don't come?" "They'll come." "Once they make a plan, they'll stick to it." "These are sad, slow-witted men." "All except Cooper." "He's the wild card in all this." "That makes him the most dangerous." "Then I'll aim for him first." "Please don't." "Why not?" "He's still my family." "He's no blood kin to you." "He is to my son." "Are you all right?" "What do you think?" "I think we're fighting for what we believe in." "Take a look around." "I'm so scared." "So am I." "Just aim and fire." "And then what?" "Reload and pray." "Still a piece to Mont Royal?" "Tracks are still torn up from here to Charleston." "If you Yanks hadn't destroyed the rail lines, it wouldn't be so." "You want to debate the war or ride?" "Let's ride." "Mr. Winant, take cover!" "Ready, men?" "We're ready." "Fire on my order." "Cock your weapons." "Ready?" "Steady!" "Aim !" "Fire!" "Keep coming!" "Don't give up!" "Reload and fire at will!" "Move in the wagon!" "Lock the gate!" "Let's get this wagon in place, then lock that gate!" "Dynamite!" "Fall back!" "Fall back and regroup!" "Captain, we're trapped!" "I will never surrender!" "Surrender, hell!" "l got him !" "No, I got him." "We got him." "Cooper!" "No!" "Help me!" "Cooper, follow me!" "Clear the wagons!" "Go after him, George!" "I'll stay here." "Don't shoot!" "Hold your fire!" "Go on!" "Kill them !" "Kill them both!" "Do it now!" "No!" "You!" "Damn!" "If you don't need me, I'll get back now." "To Willa, I trust?" "The three of us." "lt's going to work out." "This is your home, Charlie." "All three of you are welcome here all the time." "Thank you, Charlie." "Do you still want to rebuild?" "l don't know." "It meant so much to me once... but now what for?" "For yourself, for our children... and for us." "Us?" "I am never going to leave you again, Madeline." "But if we build for us, we build anew, agreed?" "Agreed." "Remember, we're partners, Mr. Hazard... forever." "English"

"Kill me!" "Kill me quickly!" "If you tell me where the survivors fled to, I'll think about it." "Not a chance!" "I'm so pleased you said that." "Ten brave terrorists destroyed the central control room at Persona Century headquarters." "While it was a dummy control room, it was still quite an achievement." "A dummy?" "You underestimated Persona Century's information network." "Even if you kill me, more of my friends will come!" "You may have bought the world, but your time is coming to an end!" "That would be fascinating." "Just once, I'd like to see surprise on the face of Lando Hozuki my father." "But I wonder when that event will happen?" "And now you must pay us back for your courage." "There's a chance we'll see waves coming from the fourth dimension?" "Yes, it's just an estimate, but..." "When?" "In 20 minutes." "It will only last for 10 to the negative 20 seconds." "In real terms, it's damn close to zero, but we can't ignore it." "Tell Mr. Guren." "It must be painful..." "To turn to gold while you're still alive." "You're doing terrible things as usual, Tamaki." "What's your business here, Guren?" "Shouldn't the oh-so-proper heir to Persona Century still be in bed?" "When I'm plunged into darkness, I don't need as much sleep." "So you came to watch your sister play and have your first drink of the day." "Don't interfere." "I'm only concerned with how the business is running." "I came down here to see the sight with my own eyes." "What happened here?" "It'll happen in 120 seconds." "The transmutation machine has stopped." "Where did Katari go?" "!" "These are the haunts of that huge lunatic sow." "I've been looking for you, pretty boy." "Come here, boy." "We'll teach you real nice." "Although, with your brain, you'll never understand what's going on." "Katari!" "What's this?" "There was never any hole here before!" "It's been eighteen years since that time." "What?" "What is this sound?" "What's that sound?" "It sounds like a horse-drawn carriage." "From underground?" "Don't be stupid!" "What is that?" "Vanished..." "The hole disappeared." "Just who are you?" "Thank you." "He's from around here." "Uh..." "What's your name?" "What is the name of this place?" "It's Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku." "The Dark Side of Tokyo." "Then that will be my name." ""Darkside?"" "Is there a good place to stay around here?" "If you go south for two blocks, there are several." "They're pretty cheap if you plan to live here." "Thank you." "As long as the world is under the influence of a correct social order, it will never fall to devastation." "However, when the social order requires a lack of logic and mindless minions to survive the devastation appears as a world of its own." "This is boring!" "Can't we liven things up a little, Mai?" "If that's the case, how about some music, Messiah people?" "Quit it." "We don't have the time to listen to drunken wailing." "Give me one, Mr. Delirium." "Thank you." "The Messiah Leader understands the world." "Okay, what do you want?" "How about something dark?" "No, something desolate." "Dark and cold." "Something to freeze your soul." "Fine, I've got just the thing." "It's Persona." "What's that?" "People from the Japanese branch headquarters?" "Never seen that before." "He looks like some VIP from the main office." "I am here to deliver a message from the main office of Persona Century." "A few days ago, several terrorists broke into the main office trying to kill the president." "Every terrorist was killed, with one exception." "It seems a lone survivor returned to the surface and is hiding somewhere in this district." "Therefore, we ask for your help, with the following provisions." "First:" "Those who give us information leading to the arrest of the terrorist will receive a reward of 5000 and a management position at Persona Century's Japan office." "Any person to bring in the body of the terrorist, dead or alive will get 100,000 and a position as Division Manager at Persona Century's main office." "With that position, you can control one of America's states!" "So that means those terrorists hit 'em where it hurts!" "We ask your cooperation." "Mai!" "Wait." "Mai!" "Let her alone." "You're just wasting your breath." "You ass!" "Let go of me, Jingo!" "What business could you have with me, little insect?" "Insect?" "Pardon me." "Did that disturb you?" "So, what exactly did you mean by "insect?"" "A slip of the tongue." "I beg your forgiveness." "What did you mean?" "Ninety percent of the Earth's dry land belongs to my company." "And you all are parasites living off that land." "So we're insects?" "But those living in this town are the final ten percent that you guys couldn't buy off." "So..." "I'll teach you how to be polite in this town." "So, this is what you call honor." "I'm gonna make every human being colored with the darkness." "Everyone." "At the end of the winter sea where everyone feels so lonely." "There was no other way back." "It's only the way to the darkness." "You don't have to suffer." "Just leave with the world of Darkside." "Hey, I know that song!" "It's the Anti-Persona Ballad from about thirty years ago." "It was a revolutionary anthem." "Darkness?" "You, you, you..." "Celebration of the vermilion feast." "I stare out at death with hatred in my hands." "Grieve for the peace by the bottom of your shoes." "Here comes the time colored with the darkness." "From this town, from this town." "This town called Darkside." "Are you a citizen of this town?" "Ever since yesterday night." "I imagine we'll have to meet again someday." "Mai, are you all right?" "Darkside!" "You're incredible!" "Who are you?" "I'd like to talk" "Thank you." "Wait!" "I'd really like to talk to you." "You ain't got a prayer, Kenzo." "Shut up!" "You're kidding!" "I'm completely against it." "There's no need for us to call Enji back from Africa." "We call Enji and suffer a short-term risk." "We don't call him and suffer a long-term risk." "Which would you choose?" "The man with the carriage..." "With an opponent like that..." "He was so pretty, I thought he was an illusion." "Just who was he, Father?" "No matter." "I just don't like the way Enji works." "Father, it's okay if I go below, right?" "There are a lot of terrorists below." "Have you forgotten that they even attacked our main office?" "You forget." "I'm the one who foiled their plans." "And I seem to remember somebody going down secretly himself." "Who could you be talking about?" "You're such troublesome children." "By the way, what is going on with Sayo?" "Well..." "She seems to disappear every now and again without warning." "In some ways she's even more trouble than Tamaki." "The Mirror of Arvis." "He came out from here, right?" "I never expected him to grow up after we sealed him away." "You're pretty lazy." " Is that bad?" " Not really, but..." "Nobody would believe that the leader of the Messiah would just sit staring at the moon." "So, a delinquent never Looks at the moon?" "Keep a lid on it." "Even babies shut up at the name of Messiah" "Kenzo?" "Want a kiss?" "Mai!" "Did you just say something aggressive in casual conversation?" "Go ahead." "See?" "Here I come!" "Wow!" "You sure know how to make an entrance." "Is he the terrorist they're looking for?" "The guy who attacked the Persona main office?" "Give the guy a cigar." "Whoops..." "Good evening." "Hi." "Kiddo, do you have business with this guy?" "No." "Is he your boyfriend?" "Nope." "Really?" "That's good." "Then I'll take him." "Be my guest." "Please!" "You can have this!" "Save me!" "Save me, please!" "What's wrong, Mai?" "Then I'll bid you good night, you clever girl." "Sorry, Mister." "Looks like I'm not so clever after all." "I guess you're right." "An "enhanced" human." "Makes me sick." "I pass on monsters." "I'll leave it to my leader." "Listen, you!" "I see." "The leader of the Messiah isn't just a figurehead." "I underestimated you." "You catch on quick." "Damn!" "Until next time." "That was creepy." "Nicely done." "Turns out you didn't need me after all." "Quit patting yourself on the back and carry this guy." "We've got to get him to a doctor." "Me?" "Why?" "It's dangerous to get involved with terrorists." "Leave him be." "I took his money." "If you won't help, I'll do it alone." "But, in exchange you'll never see me again." "Okay, I'll do it!" "I'll do it!" "I'm sorry, Selia, but I had to bring him to somebody I trust." "I imagine so." "He has burns from a high-power laser in five spots." "Bullet wounds in four spots." "Stab wounds..." "Shock-rod wounds..." "Is this that terrorist?" "If he eats nutritious foods, he can be on his feet in 3 days." "You've gotten better, Ms. Former Nurse." "Yeah, you never should have been forced to resign" "Keep your big mouth shut!" "It's all right." "I'm just happy people remember me that way." "But this is all I can do." "Take him home." "Selia..." "I've finally accepted it." "I know." "Thank you, Selia." "Kenzo?" "Yas'm." "I's just a horse to carry yer baggage." "Thanks for your help." "Give me back my clothes." "You can't." "If you tried to get up now, your wounds would reopen." "I've had wounds like these for the last three or four years." "And where do you plan to go?" "The whole town is crawling with Persona killers." "Outside Shinjuku, their private guards are everywhere." "The only place in Tokyo that they don't own is right here." "No choice." "I can't give you any more trouble." "If so, I wish you never hired us in the first place." "When you buy the Messiah's loyalty with money it means you've bought your life back." "I'm sorry." "Maybe that was a little corny." "Not just a little." "Have any friends?" "Yeah, but I can't reach them since I lost my one communicator." "It uses a special carrier wave." "I can't make one." "Leave that to us." "This guy may look like a Sumo wrestler but he majored in electrical engineering." "But I don't have any money." "Just pay us later." "Hey!" "I'm not taking on any pain-in-the-ass jobs." "It's not a matter of money!" "One more bill." "Listen, you..." "Stay here if you want." "Until they build the communicator." "But..." "However, you are not allowed to enter my room." "Thank you." "Selia, you..." "Renew yourself!" "Renew yourself!" "Number eleven, Crystal Street..." "That way?" "Katari!" "I'm on the first floor, but there's light coming from the skylight." "It's beautiful." "As if a crystal were melting in the moonlight." "Ah, how poetic." "Darkside!" "How strange." "When a person comes in from the front hall they go directly to your room?" "You had business with me, so you came to my room." "Those who wish to go to other rooms, go there." "Hmm?" "That's convenient." "What is your business?" "It doesn't seem like renewal." "Renewal?" "You mean Dream Treatment?" "So, what is this Dream Treatment?" "Did you treat Katari?" "Katari?" "You rescued him that night." "He just left here, right?" "First time I've ever seen him with such a vivacious look on his face." "That boy was dreaming a very bad dream up until now." "It's not our brains which suppress our souls but dark phantoms." "Can you renew me?" "What do you see?" "Nothing." "I only see the darkness." "There are no dreams of darkness." "You don't feel sorrow or hatred..." "You're lying!" "You're lying!" "I..." "I..." "This isn't sorrow?" "It isn't hatred?" "It's a sorrow over sorrow." "A hatred of your hatred intensifying." "For you, renewal is unnecessary." "Come again." "Wait!" "Yes, in these first-world nations, there are a lot of pretty girls." "Yo, Babe, let's party tonight." "Enji got away?" "I'm very sorry." "He disappeared from a shuttle flying 5000 m above Tokyo." "Did he jump out?" "Yes, without a flying unit or a parachute." "We have the Japan office looking for him at the moment." "Let him be." "Enji is Enji." "When he's tired of his games, he'll come back." "The end." "And with that, the young man pretending to be a white knight is gone for good." "It's 'cuz you don't want to go on a date that this happened." "Now you'll come with us." "We're all at that age where we want some company." "Wait a second." "That's impossible!" "Every bone in his body should be broken!" "Yes, these first-world nations are nothing like Africa." "There are a lot of pretty girls, and a lot of stupid men." "Dammit!" "Kill him!" "You okay?" "Thank you." "No problem." "Men just rescue pretty women naturally." "I'll take you home." "Don't look so worried." "Despite appearances, I'm a gentleman." "See, I had a pretty strict childhood." "You're pretty agreeable." "I could get a crush on you." "Is this it, Sister?" "Yo, Sister?" "Hey, Granny." "The lady with me went "poof."" "She went to the room to which she intended to go." "You had no intended room, so you are stuck in the lobby." "It's only natural." "That was supposed to mean something?" "This is the Mirage Hotel, and this is its nature." "Sorry, but I'm going to take a look-see." "Well, in this whole wide world..." "Is he the guy, Guren?" "Mr. Vice President, we have an estimate concerning the maturing of the aforementioned man." "Put it on my A/V panel." "Yes, sir." "Alchemist Pigero's special potion, Re-health." "It will cure any wound." "Thank you, Master Pigero." "Please wait, Selia." "Take this, too." "It's free." "But, sir!" "It's too" "It's okay." "I'm hoping you won't need it, but..." "Thank you." "Laser cannons?" "Damn." "I wish that kid lived in a time of peace." "He's a strange guy." "Any normal person would've gone insane or withered away by now." "I'm going all-out!" "He is a life form who was sealed in a different dimension when he was a baby of just three years, eighteen years ago." "His maturation rate was incredibly rapid..." "Incalculable." "What?" "Really, Guren?" "Is he someone even you are afraid of?" "I'm going to call it quits today." "I just got a message from heaven." "This is my calling card." "So, you've got red blood?" "I'm relieved." "Everything was born of the darkness." "Renewal comes from the darkness as well." "You win." "I'm so impressed, you're giving me chills." "Let's do this again sometime." "If you want treatment." "That's out of the question." "My weak point is that I'm too thick-skulled." "Sorry, Sister." "I lost interest in playing games with ladies." "Later." "Sorry to bother you." "It was nothing." "If his target was someone other than you then Crystal Street might have been reduced to rubble." "We were lucky to suffer so little." "Why don't I do something for your cat?" "Don't bother." "It's had its fill of happiness, fun, pain, and sadness." "But now that it's seen you it seems to want to live a little longer." "You'll make things a little more interesting in this meaningless world of light." "That woman's face was darker than my darkness." "Hello." "What's this?" "Re-health." "I'd like you to put your violent toys away, though." "Oh." "Sorry." "That's your prized possession?" "Not exactly." "Strangely, it always seems to be with me." "Algeria, Valna, Mozambique." "And then to the Persona Main Office?" "You're a reckless man to attack the main office." "You're right." "How many died?" "Eight." "One was captured." "And the survivor was sent to Tamaki?" ""Miss Strangler." She's a true sadist." "You're pretty well-informed." "The Hozukis." "A family of monsters." "This is good." "It's really good." "And I'm not just saying that." "I'm always on the run, so my food is always rations." "And sometimes you eat weeds and rats." "That's right." "Dog-meat tastes pretty bad." "You got that right." "How do you know?" "You couldn't be a member of the Anti-Persona?" "An AP Man?" "I'm glad for that." "I've had too many friends die." "Sorry." "That's something normal people don't want to talk about, right?" "Is it something to do with your family?" "Family?" "My parents are living happily in Vancouver." "They decided that I died when I was fifteen." "You became a terrorist even though your parents or family weren't killed?" "You're a strange person." "You're probably right." "But I can't allow this." "People shouldn't be controlling other people!" "Even if you've got some overriding reason." "We can only have peace under benevolent rulership." "The governing principle of humanity since it evolved." "An ideal that humanity's been striving for." "And Persona Century may be the savior that we've been waiting for." "Peace under a dictatorship makes us simply minions!" "Don't give the name of peace to people who gain control through oppression and murder!" "A misguided nuclear strike was Launched against Iceland." "Carnivorous plant fertilizer and herbicides were given to the Congo." "An outbreak of the New AIDS virus decimated Shanghai." "Who do you think was behind all that?" "Where people make history, there must be opposition!" "As long as we're here..." "As long as our will lasts..." "Those people who "talk" of peace will have to deal with disgrace!" "Sorry." "I got carried away." "It's a quiet world." "Everything is filled with that glaring light." "I could die from boredom." "Are the guys who rescued me your friends?" "A long time ago." "They're still on fire." "I couldn't stand the heat, so I ran away." "People have a right to live in peace." "Even if the peace is rotten to the core?" "Can't say anything to that." "People start battles of their own will." "What?" "Get out of here!" "They're Persona battle robots." "Hurry!" "Damn!" "Tatsuya!" "This way!" "I've got an escape route to the roof!" "Where did you get that rifle?" "Who cares?" "!" "Hurry!" "The gunfire stopped." "Let's go." "That's strange." "Nobody's here." "What's that smell?" "Upstairs!" "Search upstairs!" "What's wrong?" "What was going on here?" "Some sort of artificial appetite enhancer?" "It's nothing more than a hallucinogenic." "The Guard can't even handle an assignment like this?" "It's fine with me, Ben." "This only increases the size of our reward." ""Kabuki-Cho"" ""Kabuki-Cho" This place is incredible." ""Kabuki-Cho" It's Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku." "The most dangerous town on Earth." "It's Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku." "The most dangerous town on Earth." "At the same time, it's the place on Earth with the most freedom." "Nobody tries to control anybody else." "Nobody tries to force their own will on others." "But how did they know where we were?" "I don't know." "Maybe they followed Mai." "Maybe..." "They could have observed us with the ultra-high vision camera installed on their orbital main office 36,000 km above us." "They're a tough enemy." "But you want to fight them anyway?" "Selia!" "Wait here." "I'm going to contact Mai." "Hey, hey, hey!" "I'm in a bad mood today!" "I won't be satisfied with just a sprain!" "What's wrong with you?" "You're the suicide hot-line poster child today." "Suicide?" "My old self may have died long ago." "Up she goes." "It's the phone!" "Mama!" "I've got my hands full." "Get it yourself!" "Hello, Junko's Jailhouse." "Oh, Selia." "You figured me out pretty good." "Huh?" "What did you say?" "I got it." "Stay where you are!" "Mai!" "Where are you going?" "To the old hideout." "You can't be going to see that Kabuki-cho jerk-- idiot!" "When you're finished with your warm-up exercises, come along." "Call Chris, too!" "Yeah, sure." "You" "Hold it!" "Tatsuya?" "Tatsuya!" "It started on its own." "Just when that girl left my sight." "You're an outsider?" "If you've got something, share it with us." "We're just poor beggars." "What?" "You're a friend of Katari's?" "I guess I was wrong." "Don't take it hard." "As an apology, you can call me anytime you're in trouble." "I'll help you out." "I'm surprised." "I never met such a small big-man." "Do you live alone?" "Uhh, mister..." "Katari." "I'm Tatsuya." "They're all required reading for AP Men." "I haven't even read them all myself yet." "Thank you." "You've read these?" "What do you think of them?" "Someday we'll have to end this." "What did they say, Mai?" "Are you that worried?" "It looks like Tatsuya is with Katari." " That's good." " Not so good." "The informant told me that some man asked for the same information." "The assassin that you fought?" "Probably." "Who's there?" "A friend of yours?" "I came to bring you something you left behind." "Excuse me." "I examined you without your permission." "Examine?" "Are you a doctor?" "I killed him." "The reward is mine!" "Who the hell are you?" "That's impossible!" "A 500,000 degree heat ray doesn't get you?" "Are you an assassin from Persona Century?" "You forgot something." "Who are you?" "When a concept isn't completed, it is passed on." "But that inheritor must receive a renewal." "Wait a second!" "Is that the result of your examination?" "What is this "renewal?"" "Katari!" "You ass!" "What did you run away for?" "Do you know how worried Selia was?" "Sorry." "I didn't want to inconvenience her any further." "But you can "inconvenience" me as much as you want?" "Thanks for your consideration." "No!" "That's not what I..." "The assassin!" "Did you...?" "No, some doctor in black." "Darkside?" "Where is he?" "Inside?" "He left." "Didn't you see him on your way in?" "These two are the people I talked about on the phone." "Anti-Persona Century soldiers." "Please take care of them until the heat is off." "Mai!" "I'm not involved with the AP Men!" "They don't believe that." "Give up, and impose on the sisters!" "We can't do much, but we'll do all we can." "Thank you very much." "But for how long?" "How long are the Persona Guard going to be in town?" "I'll leave you alone." "Sister!" "If I don't know, I won't be able to tell anyone." "I must avoid endangering the children." "She's pretty impressive." "Orphans aren't the only ones she saves." "She's saved more than a hundred fugitives from the police and the Guard." "You can trust her." "What's this?" "God!" "You forgot already?" "A communicator." "But something this small will never reach the Himalayas" "I mean, never reach Headquarters." "I made it, so it should be all right." "But the only problem is it'll also reach something 36,000 km above us." "The Persona Century radio interception sensor." "They'll be able to hear everything." "But can you block the sensor for one minute?" "impossible!" "It's like finding a single quill on a porcupine." "We'll never know which antenna to block!" "We'll be so sorry if we get the wrong one..." "Right?" "Right." "God, this is such a pain!" "Okay, you two." "Spend a restful night in your honeymoon suite." "Don't say that!" "I can't, Mai!" "Hold it a second!" "Don't impose too much." "They don't have the space for single rooms." "That's not what I meant." "I know I brought this on you but you guys are going to be targets of Persona Century, too!" "You're probably right." "So you should stay with us..." "Selia, ask them..." "Selia?" "You should work on telling good people from bad." "We're just juvenile delinquents." "We fit right into this town." "So, where do a group of Messiah delinquents go to show their stuff?" "Fools and delinquents go to high places, like the fool on the hill." "Good idea." "It's a strange world where delinquents do the work of terrorists." "So, why do you own that rifle?" "It's a violent town." "Is that the only reason?" "My father was a member of the AP Men." "He was too enthusiastic, and he caught their attention." "One day, he was targeted from 36,000 km above." "Just our house." "With a quantum cannon." "Everything was turned to ashes." "My mother..." "My sister..." "Stay back!" "It's strange that this was left unharmed." "Is it a memento of your father?" "It's coming." "Okay." "Here we go!" "They did it?" "Three..." "Two..." "One..." "Got it!" "That was great!" "Off by one millimeter." "Not bad for 36,000 km." "An anti-sensor missile made of tin, and a launcher made of cardboard." "You've got a talent." "Glad you noticed." "Don't know why the Persona recruiters aren't scouting me out." "I know why." "They don't put cardboard and tin in their brand-name products." "You said it." "Darkside." "Mr. Kabuki-cho." "How'd you get here?" "You attacked Persona Century with a missile." "That was excessive." "Leave quickly." "The enemy is coming." "Don't worry about us." "We're not asking for your help." "Then show me your skills." "You jerk!" "So, you're an enhanced human, too?" "Bet you're impressed." "My leader is famous for the speed with which she avoids attacks." "I've got something of a reputation myself." "Chris the Knife." "Too bad." "Your reputation ends tonight." "It's too close!" "What?" "There it was." "Chris's Death Knife." "I can't get enough of it." "Police attack helicopters!" "This is bad." "They're nothing more than Persona dogs now." "Give you a lift?" "You've got to be kidding." "Who'd get on board...?" "This seat is taken." "Get in back!" "In back!" "But how are we getting down?" "It can't be..." "Stop this thing!" "We're here." "This is Golden Street!" "What's going on?" "So, why did you come to this town anyway?" "Renewal." "Renewal?" "Come again." "You're inviting me?" "I'll come to see you." "For sure." "We interrupt our regular broadcast with an unscheduled announcement from Persona Century." "To all the world's citizens, I apologize for this interruption in your regularly scheduled broadcast." "Yesterday, the main office was attacked by criminal terrorists." "Casualties number twenty-five." "As a result, business was halted at the main office for two hours and Persona Century land was blacked out for twenty seconds." "And there was a three hour food transport delay in the Southern Hemisphere." "No comment on the destruction of your radio interception sensor?" "Citizens, we have decided on our..." "No comment on the destruction of your radio interception sensor?" "...retaliation to this attack." "You can't admit that it was taken out by a tin missile." "A satellite in synchronous orbit?" "What are they trying to do?" "A space tochka quantum cannon." "("Tochka"" "Russian for "ignition point.")" "What did you say?" "That's..." "The Himalayas?" "The Himalayas?" "One of the few places Persona hasn't bought yet." "I've heard that it's where AP is based." "Twenty minutes ago, our company bought from the U.N. a special section of the Himalayan Mountain Range where we suspect the terrorists are based." "We would like everyone to observe our methods of developing the land." "Please enjoy this grand pageant, brought to you by Persona Century." "Percentage of error?" "0.008 percent." "Within acceptable limits." "We believe the climate change will occur as the computer predicted." "I see." "Damn it!" "Come this way." "Tomorrow!" "Tomorrow my comrades will come!" "I'll hold out until then!" "Persona Century!" "He cries before he gets angry." "Crying for the dead." "Selia?" "Selia?" "Mai." "What's wrong, Selia?" "Did you have an argument with Mr. Terrorist?" "It's strange to see you buying flowers." "Not really." "Even I buy flowers." "You're dressed up." "You going to see that man?" "Not at all!" "Not at all!" "Why don't we go and have a drink at Junko's bar?" "Don't joke!" "There are probably assassins everywhere." "Let's go back." "I'll walk you." "I..." "Uhh..." "Tomorrow afternoon?" "He's going to meet his comrades at the southern junkyard." "I see." "So, he contacted them." "Mai, I..." "Sorry, nothing." "It's all right." "Don't cry." "Look at them." "Let's get our revenge for the deaths of Ben and Tarbo." "Selia!" "Mai!" "Mai, get out of there!" "Mai, are you all right?" "What kind of a lookout are you?" "I'm sorry!" "But I never thought" "Hey!" "She's getting away!" "Get out of my way, Jingo!" "I can't let her get away alive." "Sorry about this..." "How rude!" "No one should run into Tamaki of the Hozuki family." "This town is filled with filthy upstart rats." "It will need to be cleansed sometime soon." "Hurry home." "My sister..." "She called us filthy rats." "She really nailed us." "Even the leader of the Messiah is awed by her presence?" "Who was "awed"?" "I was just angered by an outsider talking about cleaning us out!" "What?" "Anyway, please come and help him, if you have time." "When I come, I'll perform a renewal." "I hoped we could make more of a game of this before coming to a head." "But I've got instructions from heaven." "I've pretty well fallen for you, you know." "But we've got to prune a poisonous weed before it grows." "So it seems." "Let's go." "This darkness was crafted by Persona." "Now, something new is trying to be born of this darkness." "What?" "Here they come." "Right on time." "Would you give that to me?" "No!" "It always happens!" "The gun is the only thing that survives." "Because it's full of emotions." "It carries the resentment of those people who wanted a peaceful world." "So, why don't you let me have it?" "Take care." "You okay with this, Selia?" "It's okay, right?" "Selia!" "Wait, Tatsuya!" "Tatsuya!" "It's a trap!" "Stop it!" "Selia!" "Tatsuya..." "Dammit!" "Don't." "If you involve yourself further we'll punish you as if you were terrorists." "You assholes!" "Why is the Persona Guard here?" "This is Shinjuku!" "A free area!" "Yes, a free area." "You can come and go as you please." "As can the Guard." "Do not worry." "Our goal here was only to exterminate a terrorist." "We had no intention of attacking those unconnected with the matter." "Not that helicopter, either." "Even though they just saw their comrade gunned down they'll leave without being able to do a thing about it." "That's a humiliation worse than death." "You bitch!" "Finish him off." "However, do not hit the woman..." "If possible." "Fire!" "Renewal." "Darkside!" "What's this?" "Guren..." "You?" "!" "I'm gonna make every human being colored with the darkness." "Everyone!" "At the end of the winter sea where everyone feels so lonely." "There was no other way back." "It's only the way to the darkness." "You understand my feelings?" "I do." "Darling." "I had to forget." "The only thing I could do was forget!" "I was in love with you." "I forced myself to believe it!" "But now I've had enough!" "You again?" "But he's dead and rotted to the molecule." "You're doing useless magic." "No, there are others still living." "People who fight with hatred in their hearts." "People who fight with mourning in their hands." "Take me with you!" "I'll carry on Tatsuya's determination!" "We'll welcome you, comrade!" "Selia!" "Mai." "Farewell, Selia!" "Two people, colored in the darkness, now come to birth."

"This one day, right, I've been grafting all morning, just shovelling shit, constantly, all morning, non-stop." "Weren't I?" "And I'm fucking starving." "# gentle piano" "You know, like that proper hunger." "And I'm thinking, "Right, just eat my pudding, just go and eat my pudding."" "I've just finished the last fucking mouthful and then, this big, black, sweaty hand has just gone wallop, right in my pudding." "Do you know what I mean?"

"I bet you all thought I was a right fucking horrible, horrible, horrible little bastard the other day, didn't you?" " A little bit." " A bit?" "Tell the truth, Wood, man." "I was fucking horrible, weren't I?" " A bit of a bastard, man." " Yeah." "Yeah, well, you were a snake." "You were a fucking serpent from the Bible, weren't you?" "Do you wanna know why, Wood?" "Do you want me to tell you why?" "Yeah?" "Cos see that man, there, Milky?" "That man there took abuse off me." "And I said some horrible things, Milk, and I'm fucking sorry." "You let me abuse him." "And what did you do?" "What did you do, Wood?" " I didn't do anything." " I can't hear you." " I didn't do nothing." " Exactly." "Nothing." "Fuck all." "Neither did any of yous." "Not one of yous stood up and made yourself count for that man there." "And that was fucking wrong." "Milk, honest to God, I'm really glad you came here today." "And I mean that, mate, I really mean that." "Cos I've got one question to ask you." "Just one question." "When you've heard it, if you want to leave, you can leave, that's fine by me." "But I've got one question to ask you." "Do you consider yourself" "English or Jamaican?" "(clock ticks)" "English." "Lovely." "I love you for that." "That's fucking great." "I'm proud, man." "Learn from him." "That's a proud man, there." "That's what we need, man." "That's what this nation has been built on." "Proud men." "Proud fucking warriors." "Two thousand years, this little tiny fucking island has been raped and pillaged by people who have come here and wanted a piece of it." "Two fucking world wars, men have laid down their lives for this." "For this, and for what?" "So we can stick our fucking flag in the ground and say," ""Yeah, this is England and this is England" "And for what?" "For what now?" "Eh, what for?" "So we can just open the fucking floodgates and let them all come in?" "And say, "Yeah, come on, come in." "Get off your ship." "Did you have a safe journey?" "Was it hard?" "Here y'are, here's a corner, why don't you build a shop?" "Better still, why don't you build a shop and then build a church?" "Follow your own fucking religions." "Do what you want."" "When there's single fucking parents out there, who can't get a fucking flat and they're being given to these..." "And I'm gonna say it, cos you're gonna have to fucking hear it." "We're giving the flats to these fucking Pakis." "Right?" "Who've got 50 and 60 in a fucking flat on their own." "Right?" "We're giving that to them." "There's three and a half million unemployed out there." "Three and a half million of us, who can't find fucking work." "Cos they're taking them all." "Cos it's fucking cheap labour." "Cheap and easy labour." "Fucking cheap and easy, which makes us cheap and easy." "Three and a half fucking million!" "It's not a joke." "It's not a fucking joke." "And that Thatcher sits there in her fucking ivory tower and sends us on a fucking phoney war!" "The Falklands?" "The fucking Falklands?" "What the fuck's The Falklands?" "Fucking innocent men, good fucking strong men." "Good soldiers, real people losing their lives, going over there thinking they're fighting for a fucking cause." "What are they fighting for?" "What are they fighting against?" "Fucking shepherds!" "Shepherds with fucking..." "Shut up about The Falklands." " Why?" " Cos I want you to." "There's fucking loads of dickheads dying out there for nothing." "My fucking dad weren't a dickhead!" "What are you doing?" " Fuck off!" "Shut up!" " What am I doing wrong?" "Whoa, there, little one." "What's wrong, mate?" " Tell me the truth." "Come on." " I just fucking..." "That's it." "Go on." "My fucking dad died in that war!" " Your dad died?" " Yeah." "Get off!" " Fucking hell, mate, I'm sorry." " Fucking shut up about it!" "I'm sorry, mate." "Fucking hell, I'm sorry, lad." "I'm sorry." "I never knew he died, man." "Fucking hell." "Oh, look, mate, if I'd have known, honest, I wouldn't have said, man, but what I'm telling you is the truth." "I can't lie to you." "It's a pathetic war, man." "And you want your dad's life to mean something, don't you?" "And this breaks my fucking heart to say it." "We shouldn't have been there." "She lied to us." "She lied to me." "She lied to you." "But, most importantly, she lied to your dad." "If you don't stand up and fight this fucking fight that's going on on the streets, your dad died for nothing." "He died for nothing." "You've got to carry it on, man, in here." "In your little fucking heart, you've got the pride of your dad, man." "Fucking hell." "That little fucking whippersnapper has set the standard." " Can you believe that, Banj?" " You can't, can you, at that age?" "Fucking hell." "What a gem." "What a fucking gem." "All right, look." "There's the line, boys." "That means you're all quite welcome to just leave and leave now and never come back and that's it, the end of it." "But if you wanna stay, this is a proper fight." "Now yous all either cross that line and go your merry little way or you stay where you are and you come with me." "The choice is yours, boys." "Fucking hell!" "That was a bit quick, weren't it?" "I ain't being fucking brainwashed, Combo." "Oh, listen to fucking Sigmund Void there." "You're well out of line." "Well out of line, man." "Come on, lads, let's have you." "Come on, then." "Come on, Puke, mate." "Sit down." "You what?" "Kes, just sit down." "No." "No, you can't be serious, mate." "We'll talk about this outside." "Kes, just sit down." "Puke, man, fucking come." "What you on about?" "Look, he's fucking right." "What can I do, man?" "Are you coming?" "No." " Gadge, come on, Tubs, man." " Fuck off calling me Tubs!" "I'm sick of you, Woody." "This is why I'm staying, because you're always taking the piss, making me feel that fucking big." "He's put things into perspective." "Look at the other night." "You didn't step up once then." "Join me." "Milky, man, I know I let you down the other night, but I swear to you I'll never fucking do it again." "Look at me." "I'd never do it again." "I swear to God I wouldn't, man." "You're my bro, man." "What the fuck?" "Come on, mate." "(Combo tuts)" "WOOD Y:" "Shaun?" "Come on, man." "We're off." "LOL:" "Come on, Shaun." " No." "Shaun, man, you can't fucking stay here." "Shaun?" "He's just a kid." "The things you've said have made him want to stay." "Woody, I wanna make my dad proud." "Listen, love..." "See you later, mate." "See you later, Lol, love." "He's 12." "I can't leave him here." " Go." " Nothing we can do if he wants to stay." "You fucking look after him, do you hear me?" "He can look after himself." "He's proved that." "COMBO:" "See yous later." "Come on, love." "Come on, now." "See you later, mate." "Don't forget, you've got a snake in the grass with you there." "You're a good man." "A brave good man, man." "A really good man." "A cup of tea for the boys there, Banj." "Few Pot Noodles or something." "I'm fucking gagging for a shit, me, I'm telling you." "Don't worry about it." "I'll have a word with Woody." "I'll sort it, I promise you." "I just feel really bad." "He looked gutted, Combo." "I know, I feel bad, as well, but..." "Oh, fucking hell, let's face it." "Woody's not like me and you." "No, he's fucking certainly not like you." "No-one's ever fucking took a swing at me like that." " Really?" " Honest." "Honest." "It's like looking in the mirror." "20 years ago, when I was fucking 12, taking swings at big men." "I don't know, I just don't like people speaking about my dad, even in a nice way." "I don't even like people speaking about the war." "You loved him, didn't you?" "Yeah." "And then you lost him." "(Whispers):" "Yeah." "I know what it's like." "To have people walk out on you." "To have people just fucking leave you." "Honest, lad, I know how you feel." "If you ever want anyone to talk to someone to cry with or just to fucking have a hug or punch the fuck out of 'em," "I'm telling you, I'll be there for you."

"Just wait, mama, things can change." " Wait?" " Of course... for a letter." " What does she want?" " I don't know." "Watch where you step, madame, it's hard enough to grow things." ""Madame"!" "Don't you recognize me?" "Bonjour, Mme Jarisse." "Oh, it's little Roberta." "What are you doing in the country?" "Oh, my poor shoes and stockings." "Aren't you the great lady!" "It's not like springtime in Paris, is it?" "Let's go back to the house." "You must have stories to tell!" "I'll tell you." "Am I happy!" "It's nice you come see your home." "It's pretty here, isn't it?" "Oh, countryside, fresh air!" "Ah, you bought a car." "Looks great." "And what a car!" "Get in." "7 horsepower, covertible top, high beams and low, radio." "Isn't it pretty?" "Not new, but it's super luxurious!" "You sure were hungry!" "Oh, soup, good soup, wonderful." "I have't had any for three years." "Want a bacon omelet?" "Okay, but not much fat."

"Whom?" "I'd rather to back to the candy factory." " What does it pay?" " 18 francs a day." "And if I found you a job for 40 francs?" "I'm going to tour with the revue we're doing now." "You could take my place in the new one we're rehearsing." "Because I want to go to Cairo, for business." " For what?" " That's English." "Don't worry, you'll get the hang on it." "Listen, get up... go to the window, walk naturally..." " Why?" " Because I say so." "Go on." "Not like that." "Walk naturally." "Pretend you're on stage, Queen of the Fountains." "Like this..."

" Ludivine Jarisse." "Is your name hinged in the middle to get around corners?" "Why not Artemisia?" " Take a look at her!" " Head's not bad." "She looks stiff." "You haven't seen everything." "Look at her legs!" " Hm, yes." "What's her name again?" " Ludovine Jarisse." "That's not a name, it's a catastrophe." "We'll call her Divine." "Okay, she'll be fresh meat for the slave market." "See, easy as pie!" "Now you're Divine." "And now let's go home." "I give you my apartment while I'm gone." "I lose nothing." "And you profit." "Here's the entrance." "The living room."

"The car's something else." "Obviously, not from what I earn, but I worked it out." "Right now it's a bit messy, but if one goes away, it's like that." "Yes, naturally." "That's the bathroom." "The kitchen." "The owner's putting in hot water." " When?" " Oh he hasn't told me when." "A bit disordered, in fact Disorder!" "It's nothing, Divine, when I'm gone, you can make all the order you want." "You think I'm your maid?" "!" "Bonjour Mme Nicou." "It wasn't my fault, but I'll clean it up." "You should tell the milkman to ring." "That's elementary." "Up already?" "I thought you begin work at 11." "Yes but I can't get used to not getting up early." "So I go shopping and it gives me a walk." " What are you doing there?" " I don't know who spilled the milk." "That develops arms and chest." "You need that, I've noticed." "Lift your chin." "Throw back your shoulders." "Are you doing my exercises?" "You eat all that bread?" "Stick to the crust, the rest makes you swell." "But don't starve yourself." "You have to be fit to wear the fountain costume." "Want to see it?" "Those are pearls." "That's spun glass." "All the rest's your skin." "Remember!" "Curtain!" "René, she's charming." "Slowly, con amore, passionately!" "I've got to do something for you!" "Divine, you're stunning!" "I've got to do something for you!" "No joke!" "I've give you a solo to sing!" " Why?" "You don't understand." "A solo, in front of the curtain, in a spotlight." "You'll be an immediate triumph." "Your career will begin." "I wasn't hired to sing." "I'm not here to make a career." "Not so fast, little girl." "Let me look at you." "Oh the freshness is still on you!" "Leave her alone." "Get out of here." "Artists first, madame, please!" " Cigarette?" " No, they make me thirsty." "Candy?" "Yuck." "I've others." "Come on, kids!" " The milk, that's you?" " Yes, Mme Nicou." "Listen." " Listen, where's your delivery boy?" " He's sick." "Listen, I don't know who brought the milk yesterday." "But please ring that new young lady on the 3rd floor, don't just leave it." "Somebody knocked it over." "My clean steps were flooded." "There's a new young lady on the 3rd floor?" "Another artist?" "Her an artist?" "She never goes out, never has callers, not even a cat." "For me, that's no artist." "Okay, Mme Nicou, I'll ring." " What is it?" " The milk." "Leave it outside the door." " What is it?" " I can't leave it." " Why not?" " The concierge." "The concierge!" "Oh..." "Just the day I wanted to sleep." "I came back late last night." "What is it now?" "!" "If you please, miss, let's agree." "Each morning I'll ring three times, like this," "I'll give you an empty..., a full, you'll give me an empty." "This way we won't have trouble." "Understood." "You don't want to open the door a little wider?" "No need." "Thanks." "You don't need eggs?" "We have fresh-laid eggs." ""Fresh-laid" eggs, I know what that means in Paris." "Oh, they really are." "At 5 a.m." "That's not what I meant." "At 24 sous they're too expensive." " 24 sous, that depends." " On what?" " On the wholesale price." " Well, if they're really fresh..." "You can check." "Look, the date is marked." " Give me my bill." " There's no hurry, mademoiselle." " But there is." " Okay if you insist." "9 days, half-liter per." " No, a liter, a liter!" " A half-liter." " And 2 eggs." " No, once there were 5." "Yes. 7 x 2 = 11 eggs." "How eleven?" "There. 8 francs 85 centimes." "Oh, no hurry!" "We'll be seeing each other." "Your delivery boy's still sick?" "Yes, Mme Nicou, it's an epidemic." "Watch out!" "The police are with the boss." "If I decided to tell the police, it's because I can't figure it out myself, right?" "In 14 years running this show, you can imagine what I've seen." "Thefts." "Babies." "Sudden death!" "That's life." "Yes." "But when I have to replace 3 artists in 4 days... !" "No!" "That's the limit, it's unheard of!" "Come in!" "What!" "I don't want any fucking interruptions!" "Victor sent me to tell you..." "Beat it!" "Now I learn my theater's a drop for snow." "Personally I don't give a shit." "My artists' private lives aren't my business." "Could drugs have come in by accident?" "Accident?" "Do you know anyone who sniffs coke by accident?" "I don't." "And I'm the boss!" "Come in!" "Get out!" "It's important." "You have to come down, boss." "She won't be the dancer." "She's scared of the snake." "She fainted." "See, there's a plot." "The snake isn't mean, if you don't bother him." "For this number I need someone steady." "My theater, my cast, can't all be on drugs!" "I should be able to find one woman who is normal." "And sane." "I asked for the girl with the serpent." " Nothing more?" " Nothing more." "But the serpent?" "Is it real?" "squirming around?" "Ask the director, I don't know." "Let me see your newspaper and purse." " What's going on?" " Orders." "Everyone." "Well, I don't care." "I don't care, but I don't like it." "Can't help it." "Orders." "Everything has to be checked." "Bonjour mesdames, show me the purses." "You can look at anything you want." "You come with us." "We all leave together." "Let me look at that!" "Go on, take care of Boutin!" "Hey, you there, let me see that!" "Boutin, I want an apple." "So take one." "You're a love!" "Good-looking hair." "You shouldn' comb it like that." "I know I'm handsome, but enough." "If my wife saw this..." " Here, take this!" " What is it?" "Here you, you'll doing the girl with the serpent." "Why me?" "No time to explain." "Afterward." "René!" "Focus on my face!" "Can you tell me about the serpent?" "...black and white stripes, with a cross on stomach and back." "If the serpent has no cross on its back, it will ruin my whole decor!" " Ah, there you are little one!" " Can you tell me about the serpent?" "Oh, yes, I understand." "It's the first dress rehearsal." "Does that make you nervous?" " Yes." " Oh, get along with you, kid!" "You can't tell me anything?" "Tell you anything?" "I can tell you everything and do everything with you, my Andalusian!" "You driving me crazy, you herd of mechanical sheep." "Get your asses out of here." "My ring, I can't find it." "It's been stolen." "Until it shows up, I'm out of here." "The police should look at this theater!" "Understood." "Good health, dear friend." "What a bitch." "One good shot, that's the way." "Let's begin!" "M. Victor, please, what do I do with the serpent?" "You stand before the altar, wtihout moving." "So keep it, a lot of good it'll do you!" "As I was saying, you stand calm before the altar." "You look into the eyes of Lutuf-Allah." "Excuse me, I'm here for the serpent." "Look me in the eyes." "You aren't afraid, are you?" "Give me your hand." "Let me feel your pulse." "It's calmed." "I'm your friend, darling." "45 minutes." "M.Pierre-Paul, I beg you, decide!" "Alright, curtain!" "We'll have to rehearse without the serpent." "Without the serpent?" "My decor is designed to match..." "Sorry, without the serpent!" "Very well." "But I refuse to take responsibility." "I don't want to risk it today, with everyone so nervous." "I guarantee you, on opening night, the number will be perfect." "I've survived 44 reviews, I'll survive this one." "Above all:" "let's get going." "Curtain!" "Rehearsal!" "We open in 2 days!" "Pretty decor." "Astonishing local color." "And not expensive." "Are you my faithful servant?" "Then you must face danger!" "All we can do now is pray." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Stay calm." "Stay calm." "Now turn around." "Toward the public." "Magnificent!" "You have to smile, otherwise they'll think you're afraid." "You like her?" "Yes but not for the reason you think." "Maybe yes, for the reason you think." " You feel good leaning on me?" " Yes." "Want to come to my place tonight?" "It's a shame the poor kid falls into that painted nothing" " Lutuf-Allah!" "Quickly, she's not feeling well." "Some covers." "Is this better?" "Tell me, you live alone in Paris?" "So if you need someone you can trust, just let me know." "Thanks." "Anything special tonight?" "Yes, the premiere." "No, I mean you've checked everyone?" "As always, since I was ordered to." "Nothing passes without my seeing it, with my eyes." "Good." "So I'll go watch the rest." "The serpent wasn't bad." "Us police are blasé, you know, but the serpent and the girl, that was real art!" " Did you hide it good?" " Don't worry." "They won't get you." "Don't touch it till I get back." "After this dance I have a minute." "Oh, that's not bad." "Shut up about your morphine injections." "I don't care what you stuff up your nose?" "Hurry!" "I'll keep watch." "If Victor comes, tell him we're stripped, he can't come in." " Attention!" " Chorus line!" "24 steps to walk down all alone!" "It's sublime!" "Alright kids!" "Another masterpiece!" "I haven't seen anything yet, but in a minute..." "I'll be admiring you!" "Who's talking up there?" "Let go!" "Let go!" " No!" " Let go!" "She'll pay for this!" "Why doesn't the orchestra start the Paradise Ballet?" "!" "I want the Ballet!" " They're clapping." " Where?" " In the hall, naturally." " For her?" "Yes, naturally." " Where're you going?" " Let me go." "They said I'm through here." "Not true." "You were very good, amusing!" "If you stay, you do that every evening, understand?" "I hit him?" " You like that?" " Yes!" " Am I being kind?" " Yes, monsieur, very!" " So we'll be great friends?" " Yes, monsieur." "May I accompany you tonight after the show?" " No, monsieur." " Why not?" "Because I'm going out." " I smell sauerkraut." " I smell smoked eel." "If had even one cent, I'd get sauerkraut, potatoes and mustard!" "And I'd get butter with my smoked eel!" "And you?" "No hunger?" "Or no imagination?" " Yes, both!" " But no money?" "No." "I smell a mushroom omelet!" "2 sauerkrauts, smoked eel with butter, mushroom omelet." "2 sauerkrauts, smoked eel with butter, mushroom omelet." "See how easy!" "Only it doesn't always work." "Thanks very much." "Good evening, monsieur." "Au revoir, monsieur." "I'm going back to my husband now." "Thanks, monsieur." "I have four kids waiting for me." "As for me, monsieur, I have to catch my bus." "Yes, my bus." "Yes, it's me, the milkman." "I was just passing by..." "You bring milk in the middle of the night now?" "No, but it could happen." "The concierge let you come up?" "The concierge?" "I've a flirtation going with her." "And when she learned it was flower for your first night..." "But why are you giving me all this?" "Friendship..." " Apples." " From our orchard." "Look how pretty!" " And cowslips." " Cowslips?" " What do you call them?" " In Paris, primroses." "They're cowslips!" "Already?" "Not from gardens." "Fields." "The grass is full of them now." "I came..." "I brought you these because I thought..." "It's the timer." "Don't move, I know where it is." "I found it!" "I still want to ask you something." "When you give back the basket, could you put in a theater pass?" "You'll have trouble spotting me in the crowd on stage." "I'll rent binoculars." "They don't give passes till after a week." "And you still pay 8 francs tax." "Is it worth it?" "Yes but that's 16 francs." "Only 8." "I didn't think you'd go alone." "Of course alone!" "Say goodbye like you do everyday?" "Au revoir, milk." "Door, please!" "Door, please!" "2:00!" "He's just leaving." "She's an artist after all!" "Dear mother, forgive me for sending a small check." "Life in Paris is more expensive than we thought." "I don't think our revue is very successful." "The 50th night is a pretext that should work." "I must work!" "I've done everything, sent flowers, brought candy, gone to see her, even silk stockings!" "That's nothing cigarettes." "I courted her!" "It's hopeless." "It's got to work." "I'll tell her it's not a big party... 2 or 3 friends... good music... good champagne," "good sofa, everything's good at my place." "You'll come?" " You'll come?" " Of course!" "Tea." "Well, sit down!" "Tea...!" "Okay, be the lady of the house, serve yourself first." "No, thank you." "Why not?" "You don't like tea?" "I'd rather a sandwich" "While waiting, have some champagne." "That would be nice." "Not full!" "Champagne makes me sleepy." "Make yourself comfortable." " Want a kimono?" " A what?" "A kimono." "My dress is comfortable." ""My dress is comfortable'!" "My God, my dear." "You take it off on stage." "All the world's seen under your dress." "Boy, is everything ready?" "Okay boy, leave." "Undress, do something." "Why'd you come here?" "Because I was invited." "I can leave, you know." "Take my hand." "Come here." "Come, be calm." "Friends." "Like this." "Just friends, don't fear." "Dora..." "You trust me?" "You know I'd never give you bad advice." "Did you already smoke?" "Not cigarettes." "No, you've never smoked." "Look what she did." "Idiot!" " Open up!" " Police!" "Put it above the window." "Go, go!" "I don't want you to be found here." "Go, everything will be fine." "Don't lose your head." "Here, in your bag." "Take this in your bag." "If they ask, you're the maid on the 4th floor." " But why?" " Go this way." "4th-floor maid!" "Get moving." "Can't one sleep?" " Me again!" " Yes, us again." "Come in." "Welcome." "It's been 3 month since the cops came." "No one knows you were there." "I've always been straight with ou!" " You!" "?" " Yes, me." "Dora and I held them off, thanks to me you got away." " With your packages!" " With my packages, yes." "It'd interest the police, even now, to know you were with us." "And to know what I took away?" "Cigarettes?" " Certainly it would." " And if I told them..." " You won't!" " Because?" "Because you're not the kind that betrays." "That's why you'll find the man sitting tonight at the bistro across the street reading a Spanish newspaper, La Publicitad." "You'll give him what I'm giving you." "It's the last time." "You've been saying that for 3 months." " You'll go?" " No!" "Do you have the money?" " Can I go?" " Here's 200 francs." "I don't want it." "Open up, it's Victor." "What the fuck are you doing here?" "Go change your costume." "I don't want any of that, I've told you." "If he bothers you, let me know!" " Will she do it?" " Sure, she's in my hand." "To listen to you, you have all women in your hand." "It's not so simple." "If she won't do it tonight..." "You give me a pain." "Shit." "It's a morgue here!" "What's wrong?" "Troubles?" "All this for 40 francs a day!" "What do you want?" "It's our life." "Do you have a mother?" "Of course, my boy, I've got nothing but mothers." "There's a call from your mother, in the office." "Hurry, child, you're late." "You're cold?" " Have you eaten?" " A little." "A little!" "You look thin." "I hope you're not in love, are you?" "Oh not that, madame, not that!" "I've seen so many come and go, kids like you." "I tell you: once you lose your health..." "Yes it's me." "Talk." "...else we're screwed." "Shorty nearly died, he spilled everything at the hospital, everything." "Watch out tonight." "You'll be followed!" "You'll be followed!" "Thanks for calling, Doctor." "I hope tonight won't be so bad." " Bad news?" " Could be better." "Arrest whoever delivers a package to the man with the Spanish paper." "Ah, here you are!" "Have a good time?" "Thank you for the ticket!" "A very good seat, 5th row." "Did you enjoy it?" "Yes." "It was very good." "Waiter!" "I must compliment you..." "You're here exactly on time, exactly." "Not at all like an artist." "But I don't take myself for an artist." "I don't have the vocation." " Want to change jobs with me?" " Right away!" "You could never get up at 4 a.m. And at 4 a.m. to work!" " Open the henhouse..." " Give them food..." " And water..." " Grind coffee." "Wash dishes..." " Saw wood..." " Gather eggs..." " In the afternoon, water the animals..." " Bring in hay..." " Bring in hay..." " Clean the rabbit cages..." "And at night..." "There's almost no light left." "What the heck's he taking so long?" "He always does, this guy!" "It's funny, he hasn't come out." "I'd have seen him!" "It's not normal." "Anybody still up there?" "Anybody still up there?" "I'm coming." "Don't turn the light out!" "Hey up there, shake a leg!" "Okay, okay, I'm coming." "Hey, are you finished?" "I'm coming!" "I still think we should have taken a taxi." "I don't care if it rains." "I love walking home, no matter the weather!" "I don't get outside much." "Think of it:" "since coming to Paris," "I've gone only three times to the Bois de Boulogne." " I can offer better than that!" " What?" "A promenade in the country." "An hour's ride." "That'd change your ideas." "Want me to come get you some Saturday afternoon?" "But I can't." "I do matinees Thursday, Saturday, Sunday!" "That's a pain, because the boss only gives me Saturday afternoon." "Oh, a walk in the country...!" "With everything open and straight." "Nice way of putting it." "First time I've heard that since I came to Paris." "It's too bad, because after all, a promenade in the country...!" "Of course, not in weather like this." "Are yoo sure it's not possible?" "I'll come by for you tomorrow morning." "FIRE AT THE EMPYREAN-MONTMARTRE!" ""Fire this morning destroyed part of the Empyrean-Montmartre Theater." ""Management announces that because of repair work," ""the show will not resume till Tuesday evening."" "That's terrible." "No, it's not terrible." "It'll let you stay a few hours more in the country air." "You need it." "Look at the weather." "Flowers out everywhere." "A real spring!" " Yes, but I have to get back." " Why?" "I have to pick up my paycheck." "I must go tonight." "Okay, I'll bring you back tonight." "But don't think about it now." "Here we are!" "Come tour the place." "See where the eggs I bring you come from." "Here're some new members of the firm." " You like this, huh?" " Yes, I do." "You can't know what all this means to me." "Oh yes, I do know." "I leave you with your little friends and run to the kitchen to make lunch." "But tell me, what will the boss say when he sees us messing around?" "He won't mind, because the boss is me." "No one has more to say?" "No one has more to say?" "Yes, inspector." "This so-called Divine!" "I must say, evidently you don't know how in the Slave Market I had a magnificent scene, with 24 steps to go down, all alone, and that little nothing used underhanded methods to steal my scene." " We're not interested in that." " No, we're not interested!" "Oh, in that case, I've no further business here." " No!" " But stay within reach!" "Who's not here?" "M.Lutuf-Allah." "Mlle Dora and Mlle Divine." "When they show up, have them wait backstage." " This is a dictatorship." " Know what dictatorship is?" "Yes." "It's when police are in dressing rooms, and artists in corridors." " They're looking for Divine." " The pigs!" "She hasn't done anything." "Powder..." "Love Apple..." "Red rouge..." " Postcard." " What's that?" "From Cairo. "Wish you were here at the Pyramids." "I hope you your car now, and that everything's the way you want."" "Ahah!" "Do you have her address, this so-called Divine?" " Divine?" "The dancer?" " Yes!" "From here?" "the theater?" "You think we have their addresses?" "Go look." "And bring those women here." " Right away?" " Right away!" "Everyone into the dressing rooms!" "Was there anything peculiar in the behavior of this Divine?" "You all knew this Divine?" "Was there anything peculiar in the behavior of this Divine?" "How about you?" " Yes, monsieur." " What?" "She was very nice, very decent." " And?" " That's all." " That's all?" " Of course." "Don't you think that's peculiar?" "Obviously you don't know the music hall." " Ah, madame is a comic?" " No, monsieur." "Acrobatic dancer." "Does anyone know her address?" "Where's she live?" "13 rue Ordener." "Not true. 146 Champs-Elysées." "No, she lives in Arcueil." "Right, she always worried about missing her train." "This is getting complicated." "Do you have her address?" "4, 2 times 2, place Trocadéro." "Are you trying to make us look like idiots?" "We should send someone to these four addresses." "This is becoming international!" "Why all these people here?" "Must be the fire." "Maybe they're volunteer firemen." "I'll get your check." "But they don't know you..." " No entry!" " I'm a fireman." " What do you want?" " Business." " Belong to the theater?" " More or less." " No, monsler, no one enters." " Just two words..." "Tell these police I'm going home." "I'm ill." "I'll testify at home." "I've never been involved with police in my life!" "They're looking for Divine." " Is is true they search everyone?" " Yes, everyone!" "Yes, it's her." "Let's pick her up." "Did you remember the scooter for the kids?" "Yes." "And the wool for your sweater." "Good, we'll have mom knit it." "You were very nice." "You got me out of that with the scooter story." "But tomorrow I have to go explain to the police." "I'll go with you." "But first we go to City Hall." "I have something serious to say." "I'm going to marry mademoiselle." "Fine, I'll take this down." "Oh with you it won't be hard, old friend!" "Yes, mademoiselle, this Antonin is an old buddy." "We played marbles together." "But you, mademoiselle, I don't know you." "Please give me your name, age, etc." "Ludivine Jarisse." "One moment, please." "You'll never guess!" "It's amazing, I've found her!" "Where's yesterday's newspaper?" "Keep the door locked." "Here!" "You're so nervous!" "It's her, no doubt." "Drug traffic." "And I'm the one who found her!" "Whatever happens, you're not alone anymore." "I'm here." "If only it works out!" "Sure it will." "Let's see: even, all will be fine." "Odd..." "Who?" "Ludivine Jarisse?" "Yes, commissioner, she's here, in the next room." "I found her!" "Don't make a fool of yourself." "We cleared up the affair last night." "We know everything." "The girl isn't involved." "I know what to do." "16, 17... 20!" "Well, dear friends, all my best wishes!" "I hope soon..."

"Ahhh!" "Ahh!" "Ahhh!" "Started to wonder if you'd ever turn up again." "Yeah, I've, uh..." " been busy." " Hmm." "Well, I'll be inside, you wanna take confession." "Uh, Father?" "I was wondering if I could take you up on that latte?" "Sugar?" "No." "So... what's on your mind, Matthew?" "Wasn't that hard to find out." "People still remember "Battlin' Jack" Murdock around these parts... and what happened to his son." "Seal of confession still applies, even over lattes." "That what you're worried about." "Do you believe in the Devil, Father?" "You mean... as a concept?" "No." "Do you believe he exists?" "In this world, among us." "You want the short answer or the long one?" "Just the truth." "When I was in seminary..." "I was more studious than pious, more... skeptical than most of my peers." "I had this notion... which I was more than willing to speak about, at length, to whoever I could corner... that the Devil... was inconsequential." "Minor figure in the grand scheme." "Not very Catholic of you." "Uh-huh, yeah." "In my defense, in the scriptures, the Hebrew word "Satan"" "actually means "adversary."" "It's applied to any antagonist." "Angels and humans, serpents and kings." "Medieval theologians reinterpreted those passages to be about a single monstrous enemy." "And, in my youthful zeal, I was certain I knew why... propaganda." "Played up to drive people into the church." "So you don't believe he exists." "Am I done talking?" "Sorry." "Years later, I was in Rwanda... trying to help local churches provide aid and sanctuary to refugees." "I'd become close with the village elder," "Gahiji." "He and his family had the respect of everybody, Hutu and Tutsi alike." "He'd helped them all..." "through famines, disease." "The militia liked to force Hutu villagers to murder their neighbors... with machetes." "But nobody would raise a hand against Gahiji." "They said, "Well... how can we kill such a holy man?"" "So the militia commander sent soldiers... with orders to cut his head off... in front of the entire village." "Gahiji didn't try to put up a fight." "Just asked for the chance to say goodbye to his family." "By the time he was done, even the soldiers didn't wanna kill him." "So they went to their commander and asked permission to shoot him." "At least give him a quick death." "The commander wanted to meet this man... who had won the respect of so many." "He went to Gahiji... talked with him in his hut... for many hours." "Then he dragged him out in front of his village and hacked him to pieces... along with his entire family." "In that man who took Gahiji's life..." "I saw the Devil." "So yes, Matthew..." "I believe he walks among us... taking many forms." "What if you could have stopped him... from ever hurting anyone again?" "Stopped him how?" "This doesn't change anything, Ben." "Except now we know who your king of diamonds is." "You see the news?" "Everything's changed." "Fisk has gotten out in front of being dragged into the spotlight." "My editor thinks he's the Second Coming." "Hell, the whole city does." "So, we just..." "We keep digging." "I've been doing that." "Internet went from nothing on Fisk to filled with three-hanky stories about a poor little fat kid from Hell's Kitchen." "Abandoned by his father when he was 12." "Mother died a year later." "Now look at him." "Boot straps and a big dream." "Somebody knows something." "It's just a matter of asking the right people the right questions in the right tone of voice." "Yeah, that's how you get yourself hurt." "That's what I keep telling them." "Maybe they'll listen to you." "Ben Urich, Matt Murdock." "Attorney at Why the Hell Bother." " Mr. Murdock." " Matt." "My partner thinks we should be pursuing this through the legal system." "A lot safer that way." "Well, why don't we all just crawl under the covers, then?" " No, Karen..." " Well, I'm sorry, but if Fisk is really behind everything that has happened, then we need to do something." "If we were the only ones after him, I'd tend to agree." "Friend of yours came to see me the other night... the man in the mask." " Terrorist cop-killer." " Says he was framed." "I could say I'm Captain America, but it doesn't put wings on my head." "What did he want?" "Same thing we do... expose Fisk." "I printed this from a thumb drive he gave me." "Oh, my God!" "Told me Fisk was behind the bombings and shooting those cops... said he owns half the police... that they helped him take down the Russians." "But I don't understand." "If you have all of this, then..." "Hearsay." "Can't print any of it without corroboration, can you?" "He could just be throwing smoke." "I mean, he just killed Detective Blake." "Said Blake's partner Hoffman did it, probably on Fisk's orders." "But yeah, it occurred to me." "You could talk to Hoffman." "Tried." "He's in the wind." "Or bottom of the river." "Either way..." "He just shrugged." "Sorry." "Wait, what about the Union Allied money?" "Is there a way that we can tie it directly to Fisk?" "Maybe." "According to the Mask, a man named, uh, Leland Owlsley runs the books." "But since getting roughed up by him," "Owlsley's been surrounded by Fisk's security." "Can't get anywhere near him." "Same goes with, uh, James Wesley, the guy you said hired you to defend Healy." "Look, the Mask came to Ben for help." "And I don't care how rich Fisk is, nobody can totally erase their past." "I mean, somewhere out there, there has to be a piece of paper, a witness... the truth." "What about Confederated Global?" "The suit that hired us to defend Healy standing right next to Fisk when he gave his big speech." "I looked into that." "According to FCC filings," "Confed Global's where Fisk gets most of his reported income." "All right, let's play this out." "If Fisk is connected to Confed Global, that means he's involved in Westmeyer-Holt Contracting, which..." "Westmeyer-Holt is strong-arming tenants out of their rent-controlled apartments." "Um, they were hired by a guy named Armand Tully." "The slumlord?" "Landman and Zack say he's on vacation on an island that no one can pronounce, where they use coconuts as phones." "Another connection in the wind." "Westmeyer-Holt to Confed to Fisk." "We pull that thread, see what it unravels." "Still not sure about this mask guy." "He didn't hurt Ben and he didn't hurt me." "I'll take the Devil of Hell's Kitchen over Fisk any day." "Plus, he kicks ass." "No, you should've seen the way that he was flipping around in the rain." "Well, if he's such a badass, why did he come to Ben?" "Why not just take Fisk down himself?" "Maybe he knows there's some roads you can't come back from." "Our latest polls show your approval numbers rising... across political, ethnic and economic lines." "The 501 has been approved, so the PAC is actively making donations, and Senator Cherryh's office has asked for a meet." "Breakfast." "Reject the first place they suggest." "How about Detective Hoffman?" "Our sources in IAB tell me he was supposed to give a follow-up statement about what happened at Metro-General." "He never showed." "We need to put this behind us." "If he's still in the city, we'll find him." "If he isn't?" "We'll still find him." "It might just take a little longer." "And the man in the mask?" "The authorities are motivated to shoot on sight... if they have the opportunity." "He's not nearly as active as he has been in the past." "Maybe he's given up." "Maybe he's just choosing his targets more carefully." "Hey, I said you need to wait outside." "It's all right, Francis." "Thank you." "My apologies, Nobu-san." "If I had known you were coming..." "He doesn't care for the accommodations." "Misspeak my words again... and I will have your tongue." "Wesley is just trying to be polite." "The time for pleasantries... is at an end." "I was promised a city block in return for my aid in your ventures." "There is a... a tenement in, um..." "this particular area... it has proven troublesome to vacate." "But we have other blocks coming up if you..." "This one." "I don't recall... guaranteeing a specific block." "You'll need to be patient... or choose another." "I am bound by certain requirements." "Even I have those I must answer to." "After the setback at the docks..." "I can afford no further disruptions." "Do what you must, but do it quickly." "Wesley?" "Regardless of how carefully it's handled, you're now the owner of record." "The negative publicity could prove costly." "My organization will compensate you for the expense." "Well, the offer's appreciated, but unnecessary." "There is, however, a problem that you could aid me in solving, in return for my help." "One that has inconvenienced us both." "The man in black." "He's proven to be more difficult to address than expected." "Possessed of determination and unusual talents." "We must match him in kind." "A specialist, perhaps, from your organization." "I know of one with such skills." "But finding our enemy will be difficult." "He has become... cautious." "Yes, he has." "But emotion... can turn the most circumspect of men careless." " No, that's not what I'm saying." " Well, it sure sounds like it." "Hey, if Fisk really is the guy that blew the hell out of my city, shot those cops and went after you, then nobody wants to see him take it on the nuts more than me." "No, I might have you edged out on that." "Okay, present company excluded." "All I'm saying is Armand Tully is a dead end." "You find something out?" "I, um, did a little back-channeling with Marci." "Okay, ew, just..." "What did you get?" "Tully really is on an island that he bought with the money that Confed Global is paying him for all his real estate holdings in Hell's Kitchen." "Then, that's the link!" "I mean, it ties Fisk directly to what's happening in the tenement case." "No, it doesn't." "According to the records, the deal just went through this morning." "So..." "So everything that happened with the case up till now was before Fisk was the owner on record." "All falls on Tully." "Okay, so we go after Tully." "We get him to turn on Fisk." "Yeah, that island he's on?" "No extradition agreement." "It's another dead end." "You just asked her where the library is." "They doubled the offer to get the tenants to move out." "Oh, damn it." "What?" "Her neighbors are thinking about taking it." "Maybe they should." "No!" "Tell her to stand firm." "We told her we're gonna help her and that's what we're gonna do." "Such a good boy." "She thinks she can change their minds." "Enough of them maybe to make a difference." "I no take!" "This my home." "We fight, yes?" "Yes, sí." "He is good man." "All of you... good." "You shouldn't have done that." "What?" "Fight for the rights of the little guy, right?" "Fisk wants the tenements, he's not gonna stop until he gets them." "Well, so what?" "We're just supposed to roll over?" "Fisk is public on this." "If we tie him up with an injunction, maybe we find something in the deposition that we..." "Oh, come on, Foggy, you think we're gonna trip this guy up with a deposition?" "After everything that's happened, you don't get who we're dealing with?" "No, we get it!" "Matt, he's a rich dickhead who thinks he can pay people off to kiss his ass." "Look, he is standing on City Hall with his cronies like he's already won." "You know he can't see that." "All right, we can't let him get away with this." " I know." " So, what are we gonna do?" "Basic tenet of both law and war, know your enemy." "Thank you, Sun Tzu." "What does that actually mean?" "It means we keep digging." "Like Karen said, somewhere out there, there's a piece of paper or a witness, or something that'll lead to the truth." "Okay, good." "But, do it quietly." "Stay under the radar." "Where are you going?" "Three people stood with Fisk when he addressed the city." "His man from Confed Global, Owlsley and a woman." "One the press said he seemed close with." "Oh, yeah, uh, Vanessa, um..." "Marianna." "It says she works at Scene Contempo Gallery." "Maybe it's time I invested in some art." "Here's the list that I came up with." "Anyone else?" "Make sure Richmond's on the guest list." "He won't come, but he'll get pissy if he isn't invited." "You have a visitor coming in through the west entrance." "May I help you?" "I hope so." "Um, Matthew." "Vanessa." "Vanessa." "You're probably wondering what a man who can't see is doing in an art gallery." "I didn't want to be forward." "I'm told by my guests my apartment's a bit stark." "I thought maybe some art would warm it up." "I'm going to go out on a limb and assume these "guests" were women?" "Well, I'm not trying to impress the pizza guy." "Good." "You don't need sight to appreciate art, but you do need honesty." " Sight helps." " Sure." "But there's something very intimate in experiencing art through someone else's eyes." "That's a good line, by the way." "You should use it." "I might." "So, give me an idea what you're after." "I am not sure." "Good... art isn't furniture." "If you knew exactly what you were looking for, you'd be just decorating." "Art should speak to you... move you." "This one, for example." "One of my favorite pieces." "Describe it to me." "Imagine a sea of tonal reds." "The color of anger... of rage... but also the color of the heart... of love... hope." "This strikes the perfect balance between the two." "I don't know, it sounds aggressive." "All depends on your point of view." "Maybe something a little less challenging." "Tell me, do you have a man in your life?" "Matthew, are you hitting on me?" "No, I just mean, what does he like?" "What does he respond to?" "If I can get inside the head of the man who won the heart of such a charming woman, it would inform my decision." "Well, you could always ask him yourself." "Hope I'm not interrupting." "I was nearby." "Not at all." "We were just talking about you." "I see." "Wilson Fisk, Matthew..." "Murdock." "Oh, yes, the attorney." "I've heard about all your work in Hell's Kitchen." "Ah." "I'm aware of yours as well." "Mr. Murdock is thinking of purchasing some art." "He was looking for some advice from a man of taste." "Well, that's simple." "Buy whatever the lady tells you." "Thank you." "Although we probably shouldn't be talking." "I believe we're on opposite sides of a tenancy case." " Oh, you are?" " Yes." "Hmm." "The rental properties I recently acquired from Mr. Tully." "But I'm sure that will be settled to everyone's benefit." "The city has suffered long enough under the burden of poverty and decay." "I believe we have opportunities now with..." "Wilson, Mr. Murdock is a customer, not a donor." "Yes, I apologize for the hard sell." "This city and its future..." "Seeing Hell's Kitchen to its fullest potential is very important to me." "I feel the same way." "Vanessa, thank you so much for your time." "Have you changed your mind about what you came for?" "No, no, I would just need to consider the cost." "Mr. Fisk." "I like to have a moment... end of the day... just me and him." "Maybe you could put in a word." "How did you know I was sitting here, you mind me asking?" "You want the short answer or the long one?" "I was worried you might've gone out and done something foolish, after our talk this morning." "I haven't done anything." "Not yet." "Sounds a bit on the ominous side." "I went to visit someone close to the... close to the Devil." "Not to hurt her, just to get a sense of him." "Of who he is and what it would take to... do what I have to." "And... what did you learn?" "That he has someone he loves... who loves him, who'd mourn his loss." "Mmm-hmm." "Few things are absolute, Matthew." "Even Lucifer was once an angel." "It's why judgment and vengeance... are best left to God." "Especially when murder is not in your heart." "How do you know?" "You're here, aren't you?" "Foggy, Foggy, Foggy..." "Sorry." "Foggy, Foggy..." "I know my soul is damned if I take his life." "But if I stand idle, if I..." "If I let him consume this city, all the people that will suffer and die..." "There is a wide gulf between inaction and murder, Matthew." "Another man's evil does not make you good." "Men have used the atrocities of their enemies to justify their own throughout history." "So the question you have to ask yourself is... are you struggling with the fact that you don't wanna kill this man... but have to?" "Or that you don't have to kill him... but want to?" ""Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked."" "Proverbs 25-something, I never can remember." "Meaning righteous men have a duty to stand up to evil." "One interpretation." "Another is that when the righteous succumb to sin, it is as harmful as if the public well were poisoned." "Because the darkness of such an act... of taking a life... will spread to friends, neighbors... the entire community." "What if it already has?" "Then we wouldn't be sitting here, would we?" "I don't believe you went to see this woman for insight into how to kill a man." "I think... maybe you went looking for a reason not to." "Hey!" "Hey." "Uh, Foggy, um, tried to get a hold of you last night." "Oh, yeah, turned off my phone." "You okay?" "Yeah, just... tired." "How did it go with that, um..." "Vanessa woman?" "Oh, I didn't get what I needed." "Oh." "Well, uh, Foggy and I had better luck." "Um, we identified the assholes that jumped us outside of Elena's." "It's a Stewart Schmidt and Joseph Pike." " You ID'd them from booking photos?" " No, actually..." "Contractor's licenses." " And where the hell were you?" " Uh..." "Walking, clearing my head." "Hate when you don't answer my calls, buddy." "I always think you fell down an open manhole or something." "I'm fine." "Who's the employer of record?" "Westmeyer-Holt Contracting, another wonderful Global Confed subsidiary." "Well, that's it." "That's great." "We press assault charges, get them to flip on Fisk." "Yeah, not so much." "I reached out to Ben and his sources say that they're off the map." "Just like Hoffman and Tully." "Of course they are." "Great, so we have nothing." "I wouldn't go that far." "Here, Foggy, show him the thing." "Right, the thing!" "What thing?" "The dream, buddy." "It's just like the one I drew on the napkin that you, uh, couldn't see back when." "Oh." "It's a little small, isn't it?" "Building regulations." "Anyway, so are we." "We are small but awesome." "And we're gonna make a difference." "I know it doesn't feel like it sometimes... a lot of the time, but we are, with the power of the law." "Okay." "Dragged me into this rinky-dink firm, Murdock... and I'll never be able to thank you enough for it." "You're not gonna kiss me." " I'm feeling a little somethin'." " Oh..." "Okay, come here." "Nelson and Murdock, how may I help you?" "Time for those handyman skills." "Uh, hey!" "Sorry, what?" "Um..." "Uh, when?" "It's her." "How did it happen?" "Neighbor saw some junkie they've seen in the building, fleeing the scene with her purse." "Probably jumped her while she was fishing for her keys." "Karen, maybe you should wait outside." "No." "No, I'm..." "How did she die?" "Multiple stab wounds." "The ambulance got there quick, but..." "My mom says all the family she knew about's passed on." "I knew you were looking into her tenancy case." "I thought you might be able to point us toward the next of kin." "No, she didn't have anyone." "Just us." "We'll see to the arrangements." "It's good of you to take that on." "I'll let the ME know." "Ahhh!" "You are a worthy opponent." "It is an honor to claim your life." "Ahhh!" "Thanks." "I'll keep 'em comin', love." "When we first took the case, Karen and I went to Landman and Zack." "Marci talked about a "criminal element" in Elena's building." "Said that's why the workmen left without finishing the repairs." ""'Cause they feared for their safety."" "I thought it was bullshit." "Maybe it was." "Tell that to Elena." "Wait, what are you saying?" "Well, I don't know." "Just doesn't feel right, does it?" "I'll drink to that." "You think it was a coincidence?" "Elena decides to stay and fight, to rally what's left of her neighbors, and this happens." "Do you think Fisk had something to do with this?" "Speak of the devil." "Fisk is on the TV again." "Hey, Josie, could you turn that up?" "No, I never had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Cardenas." "I only recently took possession of her building." "How do you respond to reports that you knew the tenement was unsafe?" "That is accurate." "That's why we offered a substantial sum to Ms. Cardenas and her neighbors to help them relocate." "We should never let good people get swallowed up by this city." "I mourn this woman's death." "Didn't have to happen." "It should've..." "Her passing is a symptom of a larger disease... infecting all of us." "Disease of fear..." "Funeral home." "...fear of bombings, fear of cop killings." "Hello?" " Fear of a masked psychopath." " Yeah, that's me." "Yeah, I need to make arrangements." "We shouldn't let people like that take our city from us." "We need to stand together." "Let them know that they will fail... because we believe we can make a difference." "'Cause they are cowards!" "Afraid of stepping out of the shadows." "Afraid of standing up for people like Mrs. Cardenas." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Mr. Fisk, how does this affect the upcoming benefit?" "That will be all." "Thank you." " Mr. Fisk..." " No more questions." " Thank you very much." " What can we do about this psycho..." "Jesus, he almost sounds like he means it." "I think he does." "And he's calling the man in the mask a psycho?" "I hope they trace what happened to Elena right to his doorstep." "He'd never expose himself like that." "Plus, half the force is probably in his pocket." "Well, then, let's pray the Mask gets his hands on him." "Knocks his goddamn head off." "You religious, Karen?" "My parents were." "That's probably why I'm not." "You?" "Catholic." "Does it help?" "With things like this?" "Not today." "I think I've had enough." " Tell Foggy I'll see him in the morning." " Yeah." "Hey, Matt." "Yeah?" "If there is a God... and if he cares at all about... about any of us..." "Fisk will get what he deserves." "You have to believe that." "I do." "Look at it." " Where is he?" " I don't know." "Tell me what you do know." "All right, all right, I'll tell you anything you want." "Just, please, stop hurting me!" "Hey, you're real, you're..." "You're real..." " Where'd you get the purse?" " What purse?" "Lying?" "Bad idea." "Please, stop!" "I'm..." "I'm sick." "Okay!" "Okay, the purse!" "I'll tell you who snatched it..." "Listen, I've hurt a lot of people tonight to get what I need to know." "The asshole that killed Mrs. Cardenas shoots up at this address, likes cheap menthols." "Thinks it covers the stench of his rotting teeth." "It doesn't." "Who paid you?" " No, I don't, I don't..." " Was it Fisk?" "Was it Fisk?" "Was it Wilson Fisk?" "No, I don't know!" "Please, stop!" "Please!" "Give me a reason to!" "I don't know their names." "I don't!" "They found me." "They took me to a warehouse on the water..." "Pier 81." "I didn't wanna do it, man." "I swear." "I didn't wanna do it!" "But I was hurting." "I was hurting, man." "Shut up!" "You're gonna turn yourself in... to Sergeant Brett Mahoney at the 15th Precinct." "If you don't, I'll find you." "And next time, I'm not gonna stop." "I didn't come here for you." "But I am the one you have found." "You were at the docks with the boy." "As were you... with the old fool." "That was unexpected." "I'm not part of his war." "Yet you aided him." "And in the act, caused me displeasure." "Did Fisk send you?" "Is that why he paid that junkie to..." "A woman is dead, and for what?" "Just to lure me into some kind of a trap?" "You are here, are you not?" "I knew no one was in the building." "Made that mistake with the Russians once." "Learned from it." "But you did not know I was here." "No... you slowed your heart... lowered your body temperature." "The old fool has taught you in our ways." "I told you I'm not with him." "Yet you're still a warrior... deserving of a warrior's death." "I came here for Fisk." "Guess I'll have to settle for you." "I show you respect." "You would be wise to return the courtesy." "You'll have to earn it." "Shit, sorry." "Hey, can I get another bottle over here?" "No, no, never mind, Josie." "Hey, hey, Foggy." "Foggy, I've had enough, and you have had..." "Way, way past that." "It's a wake, Karen." "People drink at wakes." "You don't need it." "You know why?" "'Cause it sucks." "I know." "You speak Spanish." "What's a good toast for the people that should..." " That should still..." " Hey." "Hey, hey, hey." "I should have told her to take the money like Matt said." "No, no, no, no, Foggy... it's not your fault, okay?" "The Hell's Kitchen I grew up in was a real shithole." "But it had a heart, you know?" "Yeah." "Me and Matt... we learned the law... how to play by the rules." "We were gonna help the people that we grew up with." "Give 'em the same shot as the big boys like Fisk." "It's all bullshit." "It's all just... lies that we tell ourselves to make it through one more day." "No, I don't..." "I don't believe that." "I can't." "What are we supposed to do... against somebody that owns everything?" "Everyone?" "What can we do to somebody like that?" "The only thing you can... you make them pay." "You have fought well." "It is... not enough." "Thank you." "Nobu was becoming an issue." "I appreciate you..." "removing him from concern." "You... wanted me to do this." "In a perfect world, you would have taken each other out, but... it isn't a perfect world, is it?" "Not yet." "To be honest... it took longer than I expected." "Nobu didn't mind." "He meditated for hours." "I find it difficult to meditate." "My mind, it won't quiet." "It's a character flaw, I suppose." "We all have them." "You, for instance." "You've demonstrated an emotional weakness for children and women." "I assumed that would extend to the elderly." "So I baited the hook." "Here you are." "You took her life... just to get my attention?" "Nobu forced my hand in the matter." "My options, they were limited by necessity." "I took no pleasure in her passing." "I'm... gonna kill you." "Take your shot." "It's disappointing." "Wesley." "Put men on the dock." "If they see the Mask, put a bullet in him." "What about Nobu?" "Let him burn." "Matt!" "Come on, Matt." "I need to talk to you, Matt." "We need to keep going, Matt." "We gotta nail that bastard to the wall." "We gotta make him pay... for Elena... for everything." "Matt?" "Are you okay in there?" "Matt?" "Matt!" "Matt?" "It's me." "I heard a crash." "Not the fun, sexy-time kind, but... more of the..." "I've-fallen-and-I-can't-get-up variety." "Matt?" "If anyone who's in here is not supposed to be," "I will mess you up." "I'm not kidding." "Where's Matt?" "What'd you do to him?" "Shit." "Matt?"

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Burns." "This was all my fault." "No." "Don't concern yourself." "If things had turned ugly, I always had my mace." "Don't let me off the hook that easily, sir."

"Without you, I'll wither and die!" " That's a risk I'm willing to take." " What would you do without me?" "I'm not a baby who needs a nursemaid to burp me." "You see?" "Now, I insist you take a vacation... just as soon as a temporary substitute can be found." "Sheesh.!" "I've got to find a replacement who won't outshine me." "Perhaps if I search the employee evaluations for the word "incompetent. "" "714 names?" "Better be more specific." "Lazy." "Clumsy." "Dimwitted." "Monstrously ugly." "Nuts to this." "I'll just go get Homer Simpson." "I think Smithers picked me because of my motivational skills." "Everyone always says they have to work a lot harder when I'm around." "You know, Dad, assisting Mr. Burns could give your career a real shot in the arm." "You know, Homer, assisting Mr. Burns could give your career a real shot in the arm." " Mom, I just said that." " Sor-ry." "Next time, get your own darn corn." "Um, is this the chair I'll be sitting on?" "Yeah." "Now, I realize caring for Mr. Burns seems like a big job... but actually it's just 2,800 small jobs." "Uh-huh." "But this is the chair, right?" "Your new duties will include answering Mr. Burns's phone... preparing his tax return, moistening his eyeballs... assisting with his chewing and swallowing... lying to Congress and some light typing." "Montgomery Burns's office." "Oh, hello, Mrs. Burns." "I'll see if your son is available." "Mr. Burns has a mother?" "She must be a hundred million years old." "She has limited capacities." "All she can do is dial and yell." "I'm sorry." "Monty can't come to the phone right now." "He's in a very important meeting and can't be disturbed." "Uh-huh." "Okay, I'll give him the message." "Mr. Burns can't stand talking to his mother." "He never forgave her for having that affair with President Taft." "Taft, you old dog." "Really, Smithers, I'll be fine." "I'm sure your replacement will be able to handle everything." " Who is he anyway?" " Uh, Homer Simpson, sir." "One of your organ banks from Sector 7G." "All the recent events of your life... have revolved around him in some way." "Simpson, eh?" "Uh, Mr. Smithers.!" "I don't understand 2,700 of my new duties." "Well, the van's leaving." "Which one duty is giving you the most trouble?" "Um, what do I do in case of fire?" "Sorry." "Can't hear you." "Bye." "Aw!" "Just my luck." "Good Lord, Smithers!" "You look atrocious." "I thought I told you to take a vacation." "Smithers already left, sir." "I'm his replacement" " Homer Simpson." "Ah, yes." "Simpson." "I'll have my lunch now."

"I told you I don't like ethnic food." "Here." "Tell me how my stocks did yesterday." "Uh, they all won." " Hmm?" "What about my options?" " Well, you can either get up or go back to sleep." "I believe I'll get up." "Scrub harder." "Got to get that layer of dead skin off." "I think... the fangs today." "Simpson?" "Simpson." " Did you get that report on the accounting department?"

"I have a lot of free time on my hands." "If you FedEx me your mail, I'd be happy to open it and return it to you." "Everything's fine, Smithers." "This Simpson fellow seems to be getting dumber by the minute." "I've never seen anything quite like it." "Anyhoo, you just enjoy your vacation." "Look alive, Simpson!" "I'm not paying you to goldbrick." "Yes!" "Yes, sir!" "Get cracking on my long division, and don't forget to show your work, Simpson." "I'll have it on your desk in the morning, sir." "Bart!" "Leave Simpson alone." " Simpson, I need a ride to the library." " Yes, sir." "Kids!" "Stop exploiting your father." "Homie, why don't you lie down and relax?" "No time, Marge." "I think Mr. Burns wants me to do some long division." "Simpson!" "Lie down!" "Sorry, but you need a good night's rest." "Simpson.!" "The telephone has been ringing for some time." "Answer it."

"Terrible at everything." "A complete moron." "But I'm not really free to talk right now." "Look." "Stop calling me and start enjoying your vacation." "Remember, I want to see lots of pictures when you get back." "Uh, actually, sir, picture taking is not allowed at this particular resort." "Oop." "I gotta go now." "There's a line forming behind me." "Sixty watts?" "What do you think this is, a tanning salon?" "I asked for light starch on my nightcap!" "You call this Postum?" "You call this a tax return?" "You call this a supercomputer?" "D'egh!" "G'yah!" "D'oh!" "You're a travesty of a f- joke of an assistant!" "Is there something wrong, Homie?" " No." " Except" "Except..." "I killed Mr. Burns!" " What happened, Dad?" " I punched Burns right in his 104-year-old face." "Are you sure he's dead?" "Maybe you just really, really hurt him." "Okay." "Maybe everything's all right." "Maybe, if you go apologize, he won't even fire you... if he's alive." "Mr. Burns?" "I'm really sorry I hit you, Mr. Burns." "Here." "Let me put some salt on that eye." "No!" "Please!" "I can't bear another thrashing." " Just leave me be." " Yes, sir." "Must... call..." "Smithers." "He'll protect me from this beast." "I've seen people activate this machine a thousand times." "Doesn't seem to be any trick to it." "Let's see." "Smithers." "S-M-I-T-H-E-R-S." "Success!" "It's ringing." "Moe's Tavern." "I'm looking for a Mr. Smithers, first name Waylon." "Oh." "So you're lookin' for a Mr. Smithers, eh?" "First name Waylon, is it?" "Listen to me, you!" "When I catch you, I'm gonna pull out your eyes and shove 'em down your pants... so you can watch me kick the crap outta you!" "Okay?" "Then I'm gonna use your tongue to paint my boat." "Ooh." "Oh, Smithers, if only you could hear me." "Something tells me Mr. Burns needs me." "Something tells me Mr. Burns needs me." "Praise God." "That thug has finally gone home for the day." "Now I can make my escape." "Hi, Mr. Burns." "You want your coffee now?" "No." "I'm, uh, making it myself." "Hear that?" "The percolations are imminent." "No need to come in." "Cease your ingress." "Stay back, Homer." "Approach no further." "Coffee's already made." "I stomped the beans myself." "Well, can I at least drive you home, Mr. Burns?" "It's 5:00." "No!" "I thought" " I thought I'd chauffeur myself this evening." "Yes." "That's what I thought." "How difficult can it be?" "I'm sure the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator... and which the deceleratrix, hmm?" "I can't believe it." "All my life, I've avoided doing things for myself." "But I'm actually enjoying this." "Plus I'm making incredible time." "Beep-beep!" "Out of my way!" "I'm a motorist." "Uh, that's some nice reckless drivin', Mr. B." "Would you like me to shred those environmental reports for you, sir?" "Already taken care of." "Cappuccino, Simpson?" "Ahoy!" "Ahoy!" "No, you have the wrong number." "This is 5246." "I suspect you need more practice working your telephone machine." "Not at all." "Ahoy." "Mr. Burns, is there anything at all I can do for you?" "No, Homer." "You've already done more for me than any man." "Your brutal attack forced me to fend for myself." "I realize now that being waited on hand and foot is okay for your average joe." "But it's not for me." "I want to thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Oh, my God!" "I knew I shouldn't have left." "Ah!" "Welcome back, Smithers." "Say, do you know Homer Simpson?" "He pitched in around the office while you were away." "Bang-up job, Simpson, but I guess it's back to your trusty post in Sector 7G." "You heard the man, Simpson." "Ah, and my dear, dear Smithers." "You're no longer needed at all." "You're fired." "Ta." "You shouldn't have gone away on vacation." " Cheer up, Homie." " I feel terrible about getting Mr. Smithers fired." "That job was all he had." "Imagine how you'd feel, Marge... if you got fired from the- those things that... you do." "Quick, Mom." "Whip up a cake before Dad fires ya." "Don't worry, Dad." "Mr. Smithers is a resilient man." "I'm sure he can get a great job at any corporation he wants." "Meet your new piano mover." "We're gonna have to put a steel rod where your spine was." "Will I ever move a piano again?" "Oh, my goodness gracious!" "No." "Get ready for exciting quarter-mile action... at the Springfield Drag Strip!" "It'll be motorized mayhem!" "Mayhem!" "Mayhem!" "Do we need all those "mayhems"?" "We do." "All right." "Fair enough." "I suppose you know your business." "Get ready for fun!" "Fun!" "Fun!" "Uh, people are already here." "We don't need to keep hustling them like this, do we?" " Will you let go of me?" "Where are you throwing me?" "Uh, hello." "Is that a "Help Wanted" sign in the window?" "Uh, yeah." "I need someone to help me with the midnight beer delivery." "Your job is to distract Barney until it's safely off the truck." "I'll just wait out back until then." " I look forward to workin' with ya." " Mr. Smithers!" "Wait!" "You can't let yourself end up in a place like this." "You've got two choices." "You can give up on yourself and take the Barney-guarding job- like so many of us have contemplated in our darkest moments- or you can admit to yourself there's only one person that can make you happy... and do whatever it takes to get them back!" "You're right!" "But I'm gonna need your help." "Oh, my God!" "Beer delivery." "Sign here." "No.!" "It's you.!" "Oh, boy.!" "Gimme that.!" "Okay." "I gotcha covered." "Mr. Burns may have mastered 2,799 of my 2,800 duties... but I'll wager dollars to doughnuts... he still can't handle a call from his mother." "You're on!" "What?" "Hello." "Mrs. Burns." "This is Waylon Smithers." "I have your son, Montgomery, on the line." "That improvident lackwit!" "Always too busy striding' about his atom mill to call his own mother." "I'll give him what for till he cries brassafrax!" "Perfect." "When I give the signal, you transfer the call to Mr. Burns." " After she tears into him, I'll rush in and save the day." " Got it." " I'm transferring a call in to you, Mr. Burns." " No problemo." "Uh, ooh." "Um." "Uh-oh." "Ahoy, ahoy." "Ahoy." "Hello." "Mr. Burns?" "This is your mother." "No!" "Oh, hello, Mater." "Um, sorry about pulling the plug on you and all." "Who could have known you'd pull through and... live for another five decades." "Ooh!" "Is my face red." "Mrs. Burns is 122 years old, so try to sound more desiccated." "And she doesn't call her son "Mr. Burns. "" "Son, this is Mrs. Burns." "I just called to say I don't love you." "You are a bad son, Montel" "So." "Impersonate my mother, will you?" "And you, Smithers, you must have put him up to it." "I'm glad I fired you." "You really blew it this time, Smithers." "Stop that!" "Stop that at once!" "You're fighting!" " Stop fighting like a girl, Simpson!" " Okay." "Stop it.!" "Stop it, I say.!" "I'll teach you how to use a phone, you boob!" " Ring!" "Ring!" "Ring!" " D'oh!" "D'oh!" "D'oh!" " It's for you." " D'oh!" "I'll show you!" "Oh, my." "Here comes the endangered condor into the power lines." " Mm." "Mm." "Mm." " I've got Bobo, hot from the dryer." "Careful not to burn yourself on his eye." "I don't need you to do any of this." "I'm totally self-reliant now." "What I would like, though, is a spanish peanut." "Skin." "Mm-mmm-mmm!" "It's a remarkable thing." "In the short time you were gone..." "I learned to be completely self-reli- ant." "Oh, and as for that brutish fellow who knocked me out the window... see that he gets what's coming to him." "I already have, sir." "What'd you get that for?" "For knocking Mr. Burns out of a third-story window." " Makes sense to me." " Did he die?" "What am I, a doctor?" "Shh!"

"I love you so very much." "There are moments in one's life that are much anticipated" "Moments that you've always prayed for and waited to finally happen." "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "I'm sorry Mommy, I've missed you so much." "Mommy, I'm so sorry, Mommy." "Lally!" "Tita, Eric just fell asleep again." "I'll be going ahead." "Stay here for a while." "Let's talk." "Talk about what, Tita?" "It's ok if you and Eric remain friends, but..." "If it's more than that..." "That's gonna be difficult, especially now that you have a wife." "Tita, I love him" "And you don't love your wife?" "Ate, I have a surprise for you." "What's that?" "Evelyn." "Mommy!" "Mommy, I missed you!" "Well, if you don't love your wife" "Then don't mislead her and keep her hoping." "Have some pity on her if this marriage is really just a sham." "Tita, I also love Lally." "How is it possible that you love them both?" "Vincent, are you kidding me?" "Tita, it's different between the two." "Tita, I love Lally because I'm already used to her." "She was with me for the longest time." "She's my best friend, and mother to my kids." "But until now, I'm still in love with your son." "I was right then." "You are just deceiving your wife." "Because you should be in love with her and not with my son." "Tita, it's not..." "Wait, let's not kid ourselves here, Vincent." "You're gay, my son is also gay." "The difference between you two is my son isn't fooling himself." "In your case, when you decided to take a wife..." "You bound yourself to a lie." "Now, either you stand up for your wife" "Or leave her so that you can be true to Eric and yourself." "These are your only choices, Vincent." "Because as a mother..." "I will never allow my son to enter a complicated relationship such as this." "This is Sandra." "She's my eldest and your namesake." "This is Junior and Emong." "I don't want you to take my hands, I want a really tight hug from you." "You're all grown up, beautiful and handsome children." "Of course." "It runs in the family." "Kids, buy snacks outside for everyone." "Go on, and be quick, okay?" "Your children remind me of the kids that were being taught by the nuns in Bicol." "In Bicol, Mommy?" "Yes." "That's where I went when I decided to leave." "That's where I met my friend who is a nun." "Sister Anne, that's who you saw me with earlier." "And when she came back here, she took me as well." "She introduced me to her friend who manages a home for abused women." "I'm working as a volunteer for them right now." "I'm happy that you decided to come back to Manila." "And that you and Lally visited me." "Lally, how about your children?" "How old are they?" "Diego is turning 10." "Hannah is 8 years old." "You'll meet them when go to our place after we leave here." "I'm happy that both of you are doing well in your lives." "Yes, mommy." "My husband Vincent is simply wonderful." "And Ate here..." "Her life is just fine with Kuya Manny." "You don't need to cover up for me, Lally." "Manny and I have separated." "He found someone new." "Someone younger, prettier." "You were right, Ma." "Everything you told me before came true." "This is my karma for disobeying you before." "Ate..." "Why hide it?" "Mommy's going to find out anyway." "It's all my fault anyway." "So even if you castigate me, it's ok." "I'm not happy this happened to you." "But I also think, if I came back sooner..." "I would have eased the pain you felt." "I would've done my part as your mother." "Ma, please forgive me." "Now that I'm a mother as well" "And now that my husband left me, I understand you a little better" "For all the things that you did for us, even when it was humiliating" "Even when everybody thought ill of you, just so you could feed us." "I understand it all now, ma." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Ma?" "Where's Vincent?" "He has left." "Vincent and I are okay now, ma." "He confessed his feelings for me." "He still loves me." "Please don't be mad at me." "I talked to Vincent and I told him that" "I do not approve of his having this affair with you." "But he's back, ma!" "Isn't that what matters?" "Aren't you happy to see that I'm finally happy?" "I do want to see you happy." "But not in this way, Eric." "I'm a woman, and I don't want you to hurt any woman at all." "Besides, they're married, they have a family, do you think you can win in this?" "But he loves me, ma!" "Don't you get it?" "It's because you're looking at Vincent as an individual." "You don't seem to realize that he's a parent too, like me." "Let's say that you have this relationship with Vincent." "Do you honestly think that you can keep this a secret for long?" "No!" "The day will come when you will be exposed." "His wife will know all about the affair." "And when that happens, I can guarantee one thing, Eric." "Vincent will make a decision, not as a man who loves you." "He will make a decision as a parent." "And that's how I know that he will not choose you, even if he loves you." "You cannot win this." "So, for your sake, Eric..." "Do not put yourself in this situation where you'll only end up as the loser." "When you decided to take a wife, you bound yourself to a lie." "Either stand up for your wife" "Or leave her so that you can be true to Eric and yourself." "Those are your only choices, Vincent." "Mommy, I'm in church." "Hello, Daddy." "I have some good news for you, I found my Mommy." "Really?" "Where was she?" "It's a long story." "I'm taking her home, so we'll just see you later, alright?" "Okay." "I'll see you later, mommy." "Bye." "Hello, this is Vincent." "How's Eric?" "Is he still asleep?" "If he's awake, may I speak to him?" "I'm sorry Sir Vincent, he's still sleeping." "All right, never mind." "Thank you." "Do you have any idea where her mother went and why she decided to show up now?" "No idea, ma." "I'm sure we'll know later." "There they are." "Let's go meet them." "Good evening ma, pa." "This is Mommy." "Good evening." "Well, I'm glad you finally found your mom Lally." "Mommy, how are you?" "Long time no see." "Are they your kids, Lally?" "Yes." "This is Diego and this is Hannah." "Come hug and kiss your Lola." "You're all grown up!" "It's because you've been gone a long time, "balae"" "The last time you saw us, you weren't really in a good mood, remember?" "Well, can you blame her Armando?" "She did not know us then." "Besides, she didn't know what kind of life we can offer to Lally." "She's practically a princess here." "She's very lucky to have my son." "Thank you for that." "Ma, didn't you prepare some dinner?" "Yes." "Come, let's eat." "Let's have dinner then." "Mama, where will Lola stay?" "Where else?" "Your Tita Lally will definitely make arrangements for her at their place." "Your aunt is rich." "We are not." "So even if I wanted your lola here, I won't be able to provide her much." "What if we were rich?" "Would you take her then?" "Definitely." "I need your Lola now more than ever." "But it's ok." "I don't want to force myself on her." "Go on, eat your dinner." "Here, have some more fish." "It's good that you're working for a good cause." "You mean, all this time, you were living with your friend who's a nun?" "Yes, at the convent." "That's where I do my volunteer work." "Mommy, once our house is complete," "I want you to stay with me and Vincent." "I won't allow you to stay with other people." "I am your daughter, that's why I want you to stay with me." "Lally, why wait till your house is finished?" "She can stay here with us." "Balae, you are welcome to stay here." "I don't want to impose." "Anyway, I still need to return to the convent as the nuns are waiting for me." "I didn't tell them that I'll be coming here." "I'll have our driver take you there." "Please don't bother, I can go there by myself." "It's no bother." "Our driver is free to take you." "Vincent and I will drop her off, ma." "So that we can be sure that she makes it back safe." "Wait here, Mommy." "I'll just call Vincent so that we can go." "Hello?" "You finally answered my call." "I rang earlier, but you were asleep." "Wait, did I wake you?" "No, aah, but why did you call?" "I wanted to let you know that I got home already." "But even here, my thoughts are still with you." "I worry about you, if you're ok." "If your wounds and bruises still hurt." "Eric, I know what I'm doing is wrong but" "I never could resist you" "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I made a lot of foolish decisions" "If I only knew that I could never get you out of my life" "Then I shouldn't have gotten married." "I wish, I wish I had waited for you." "Eric, I'm sorry." "That's enough, stop saying sorry." "I understand." "I'll be out of here in two days." "But I won't be going home." "I'll be staying in my pad." "My own unit." "Should I..." "Should I give you my address?" "Yes, yes, please!" "Alright, I'll text you my address." "Just promise me one thing, okay?" "Promise me that you'll come see me." "Please?" "I'll be there." "Vincent?" "Who are you talking to?" "What did they say, Danny?" "Why is my son no longer here?" "Eric himself signed his release form." "They didn't see anyone with him when he left." "Who else do you think he'll be with?" "From now on, you have to be vigilant." "You have to open your eyes, your ears, even your nose!" "You might stumble upon something." "However you look at it, what you're doing is wrong." "Sandra said goodbye to us last night." "She said she'll be living with her daughter." "But she's not with me, sister." "If that's not you, then who was she talking about?" "Mommy, why didn't you tell me that you'll be staying here?" "Because you seem to think that everything can be bought with money." "I only ask one thing from you." "Don't ever leave again, please."

"And while he's managing to keep his operation under control," "Luciano fears the other New York families will try to grab hold of his power if he doesn't get out soon." "A mob boss in prison probably could maintain his position and his power for a while." "But, it was always so competitive, it was always so vicious that eventually, there's always somebody hungry to move up." "I been in here too long." "It's time for something to happen." "Charlie, what do you want us to do?" "What about these whores?" "Can we get to them?" "The problem is finding them." "No one knows where they're at, Charlie."

"Is that what you're telling me?" "(narrator) On orders from Lucky Luciano," "Frank Costello and MeyeLansky orchestrate a nationwide search for the prostitutes whose testimony put Luciano in jail."

"(Ellen Poulsen) After the trial, three of the prostitutes escaped to California where they thought they were going to live free and clear." "Florence Newman?" "Cokey!" "(footsteps approaching)" "(Ellen Poulsen) Unfortunately, Lucky's men more or less kidnapped the prostitutes." "They were taken to a law office and told to sign a paper that stated they had lied during the trial." "(narrator) Thomas Dewey isn't about to let his case against Luciano fall apart." "So he takes matters into his own hands." "(Thomas Dewey III) There were allegations that there'd been some sort of improper conduct in securing some of the testimony." "Clearly, what had happened is that the mob had gotten to some of the witnesses and gotten them to flip their stories." "It is difficult to imagine the paralyzing fear expressed by nearly every witness in this case at the prospect of testifying against a man as ruthless and as violent as Lucky Luciano." "Lucky Luciano is the ruler of the most powerful criminal organization this city, this country, has ever known." "These witnesses were abused and exploited young women who were coerced into selling their bodies to satisfy the lusts of depraved men, while Lucky Luciano and his gang got rich off of it." "My office acted only to protect these women so that they could tell the truth and escape the horrific life" "Lucky Luciano had subjected them to." "(narrator) Dewey convinces the judge to dismiss the allegations, and Lucky Luciano's appeal is denied." "Lucky Luciano has bribed judges and juries, intimidated witnesses and attempted to play the legal system in his favor." "But all of his efforts have failed." "He's now faced with the realization that he might spend the rest of his life behind bars." "(indistinct officer chatter)" "See, this one, these dates are not matching up." "Make sure you get the dates to match, please." "(narrator) After ensuring Luciano remains locked up..." "Thomas Dewey sets his sights on his next target in organized crime, one of the founding members of Murder, Inc." "(gunshots)" "For years, the highly trained group of assassins... has worked for the New York Mafia, carrying out hits approved by the Commission without leaving a trace." "But when hit man Abe Reles is tied to a murder in 1940, he starts ratting out members of Murder, Inc." "I'll give you 50 guys." "(narrator) Before the Mafia takes him out," "Reles names one of the hit squad's top killers..." "Louis Lepke." "The feared Jewish gangster has a garment industry racket worth the modern-day equivalent of over $17 million per year." "Louis Lepke lived in a big, fancy apartment on the Upper West Side." "He lived in the equivalent of The Dakota." "Lepke, however, had a real bad temper." "And he would do things himself." "(gunshot)" "(narrator) Thomas Dewey believes if he can gather enough evidence and pin murder charges on Lepke, he'll be able to bring down the rest of Murder, Inc." "(Thomas Dewey) How many witnesses?" "We have seven witnesses ready to testify." "All right." " Issue the charges." " Yes, sir." "(narrator) Dewey orders his men to sweep the city." "But with the mob's connections and hideouts throughout New York, the professional assassin disappears." "While Dewey's men search for Lepke... the Federal Bureau of Investigation is also looking to arrest him on a separate narcotics charge." "And the FBI joins in on the international manhunt." "(Rich Cohen) Lepke spent about a year in hiding where there was a search for him all over the world." "People saw him in Australia, Hawaii, South America." "Turned out he was in a basement apartment in Brooklyn the entire time." "(narrator) Before the authorities can find him," "Lepke begins to take out anyone who could connect him to a murder." "Lepke had this philosophy, no witness, no case." " He was killing everybody..." " (man grunting) and he was psychotic, and he was crazy." "And the feeling was if you hang around long enough," "Lepke will kill you, too." "The longer Louis Lepke remains at large, the more of a mockery he's making of this agency." "(narrator) Director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover, knows he could put Lepke away for narcotics charges." "But with the gangster in hiding, he'll need the help of an unlikely ally." "You'll never guess who I got a call from." "Who?" "The FBI." "They want us to help 'em find Louis Lepke." " (narrator) By 1939..." " Unh!" "The New York Mafia's most dangerous hit man" "Louis Lepke is being hunted by the FBI on drug charges and by Thomas Dewey for murder." "Lepke has evaded the law for nearly two years." "So in a last ditch effort to bring him in, the feds have reached out to an unexpected ally..." "Lucky Luciano." "(Joe Mantegna) Luciano was approached by our government, there was that whole thing of some..." "Every once in a while, the two sides try to do something together for the benefit of everyone." "(narrator) Luciano was serving the third year of his 50-year sentence and has tried everything to get out." "Now with the FBI asking for help, he sees the opportunity he's been looking for and meets with his closest advisor, Meyer Lansky." "What do you wanna do about it?" "Maybe you could talk to Lepke." "You tell him... he's gotta take... the rap on the heroin." "We give him over to Hoover... and he'll pin the murders on him, too." "Then he goes away forever, and we buy favor with Hoover and Dewey." "Notorious killer, Louis Lepke put away by J. Edgar Hoover." "(narrator) Luciano knows that giving up Lepke would be a huge gamble, as the feared killer could easily snitch on the mob." "But for the criminal kingpin, getting out of prison and reclaiming his place at the head of his family is more important." "In the fall of 1939," "Luciano and Lansky set a plan in motion to double-cross Louis Lepke." "(Rich Cohen) After Lucky Luciano went to jail," "Meyer Lansky's power had to become more Machiavellian." "He had to work the angles, pit people against people." "And I think that he really wanted to get Luciano out of prison because I think that the best days of his life were when Luciano was on the street and they were together." "(narrator) If they can convince Lepke to turn himself in on lesser drug charges, the feds will hand him over to Dewey for murder, giving Luciano the leverage he thinks he needs to get out of prison." "(dog barking)" "(knocking at door)" "(narrator) To carry out the plan," "Lansky sends Lepke's trusted associate..." "Murder, Inc." "co-founder, Albert Anastasia." "Well, Albert, it's been a long time." "Listen, Lou, I can help you out but you gotta trust me on this." "I don't trust anybody." "We can make the Dewey murder rap go away." "How?" "The FBI is how." "Hoover's got you on the high-profile list, he wants a high-profile bust." "Turn yourself in to Hoover on the heroin thing, two, three years in the can, tops." "The FBI?" "If Dewey's guys find you hiding out here, they're gonna throw you right in the electric chair." "Use your head." "It's a good deal, Lou." "(Rich Cohen) Lepke wanted to surrender himself to the federal government." "He didn't want the New York police to get him and end up in the electric chair." "You got Lepke?" "(narrator) Because of the high-profile nature of the arrest," "FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover personally wants to bring the most wanted man in America into custody." "Louis Lepke, you're under arrest for murder." "Murder?" "You didn't say anything about..." "Albert, what is this?" "!" "What is this?" "!" " Bastard!" " What the..." "Ah!" "Get your hands off me!" "Filthy pigs!" "♪" "(narrator) After a two-year search," "J. Edgar Hoover finally has his man... thanks to Lucky Luciano." "(Sonny Grosso) Lucky Luciano, he understood that in life if I really help you out, that when you see an opportunity, you'll look out for me." "And aditional to gaining leverage with the FBI." "Luciano's just giving Thomas Dewey a huge victory." "And on December 2, 1941," "Louis Lepke is sentenced to death." "(Rich Cohen) Hoover turned him right back to Dewey and Dewey executed him." "Louis Lepke, only mob boss to ever be executed." "(narrator) Dewey has taken down another high-profile gangster, and under a national spotlight, he launches a campaign to become the next governor of New York." "Luciano's certain if Dewey wins, he'll sign a pardon freeing him from prison." "Bu while he waits for word fr Dewey a violent attack almost 5,000 miles away is about to change everything." "(President Franklin Roosevelt) Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy." "(narrator) For three years, the violent conflict has been raging throughout Europe." "(H.W. Brands) During most of the 1930s," "Americans had ignored what was going on in Europe as Hitler ramped up and began rampaging around Europe." "Until Pearl Harbor." "(President Roosevelt) A date which will live in infamy." "(narrator) While Lucky Luciano is in prison in upstate New York, the country braces for another attack on American soil, and New York could be the first target." "(H.W. Brands) It was known that there were German submarines that were prowling along American shores." "And the United States didn't have the naval force yet to counteract that." "So Americans were deeply concerned." "(narrator) Just two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor..." "America's worst fear is realized as a massive fire breaks out on a naval troop ship on the docks along the West Side of Manhattan." "As the "SS Normandie" burns, fear spreads that war has reached New York City." "The government was very worried about sabotage on the waterfront." "And get to the mob guys who really run the waterfront." "Since Probation, organized crime has asserted its power over New York's harbor and now has control over more than 200 ports." "(gulls squawking)" "Now at war, the federal government is forced to make another unlikely alliance." "The Mafia's control and their affiliations with the Longshoreman's Union meant that they had a hand in everything coming into the country." "And the government had to reach out to the Mafia to prevent sabotage on the waterfront." "And they had to reach out to Lucky Luciano." "Mr. Lansky, we need your help." "Well, listen, sir, just because we're, um, businessmen, doesn't mean we're not patriots." "We'll lock down the docks." "Nothing gets in or out of New York harbor without us knowing about it." "Nothing." "Thank you." "Don't thank me." "Thank Lucky Luciano." "(Selwyn Raab) Now this is an example of how powerful by 1941 the American Mafia was." "(narrator) Lansky reports back to Luciano with a deal." "The navy agrees to work to reduce" "Luciano's prison sentence." "With Luciano calling the shots from prison," "Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello orchestrate a citywide plan, paying heavily-armed guards to work around the clock and putting a system in place to keep track of all shipments so that nothing gets in or out of New York without the Mafia's approval." "When you hear that Lucky helped the American government protect the New York harbors from prison, how could you dislike a guy who protected New York City?" "♪" "(Michael Green) Mobsters can be patriots." "They're human beings like the rest of us." "And there are these stories that Lucky and other mobsters helped keep the docks clean." "Well, why not?" "They're Americans, too." "At the same time, being intelligent businesspeople, there is an element in their thinking," ""If I do this for my government, the government might do something for me down the line, too."" "(narrator) While Luciano is doing his part in the American war effort... 4,000 miles away..." "Vito Genovese is about to strike a deal... with the enemy." "(narrator) After feeling to Italy to escape a murder charge," "Vito Genovese has been forced to abandon his dream of ruling the Luciano crime family." "♪" "Now, Genovese is determined to exploit a new opportunity." "But before he can lay the groundwork, he'll need to go through one man, fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini." "Sir." "Just a small sample." "(narrator) Over the next few years, Genovese donates the modern-day equivalent of $3.6 million to Mussolini's fascist party." "There's plenty more where that came from." "(Selwyn Raab) What Genovese did in a very patriotic mode, he became an arch-fascist in support of Mussolini while he was in Italy during the entire war." "In fact, he made major contributions." "So, there was no question." "He had suddenly forgotten all about his American patriotism." "(church bell ringing)" "(narrator) With the dictator on his side, Genovese has the freedom to set up a lucrative racket in an industry he's known for years." "Vito Genovese was involved in the heroin trade." "You go all the way back to the early days, then he was moving opium around." "(narrator) In the 1940s, heroin is legal in Italy." "And Mussolini allows Genovese to export narcotics freely... smuggling drugs out of the country in small packages, disguised in luggage and automobiles." "For almost a year," "Genovese builds up his heroin racket throughout Italy." "(plane engine purring)" "But in July of 1943, in the midst of the global war, the Allies invade Sicily." "♪" "(Selwyn Raab) There has been a lot of reports that Luciano was helpful in the invasion of Sicily in 1943, and that's a myth." "Luciano, through his own public relations efforts, tried to create the myth that would help him get the pardon from Dewey." "In fact, Frank Costello tipped off Walter Winchell, a very important columnist, and Winchell reported this, that Luciano helped the invasion of Sicily." "Total fabrication." "(narrator) The Allied invasion of Sicily is a success." "And so is Luciano's play for public goodwill." "As the Allies sweep across Italy," "Genovese is suddenly on the losing side." "He quickly switches his allegiance," "Guys, what's going on here?" "These crates have been here for weeks." "(narrator) But true to form," "Genovese betrays his new allies." "When the Americans come and take over Sicily, he disavows the fascists and he cuts a deal with the American army." "And then we find out that he's diverting illegal supplies from the American army to sell on the black market." "This was a guy that would cut a deal with anybody, and then betray them." "Come on, let's go!" "We can move faster." "During World War Two, Genovese just capitalized on food stamps, the rationing stamps, uh, whether it was gasoline." "Many of the mob guys were excitement junkies, uh, addicted to certain types of, you know, behavior, whether it was stealing, power." "(Genovese) We gotta paint them and get 'em out of here, all right?" "Leave this warehouse clear." " Freeze!" " Freeze!" "Don't move, don't move, don't move!" "(soldier) Get up, move!" "(Chazz Palminteri) The real smart guys, they know not to mess with the government." "This wise guy once told me, he said," ""Chazz, one thing you don't do." ""You don't mess with the government." "They got the toughest mob in the world."" "To the right, you understand me?" "(Chazz Palminteri) They won two world wars and they print their own money." "You don't mess with them." "(narrator) Once Genovese is in army custody, the military learns that he's wanted for murder in the U.S." "and quickly sends him back to New York to stand trial." "With two of the most powerful gangsters in the Luciano crime family behind bars, the fate of the operation is at stake." "And Lucky Luciano begins to realize that if Genovese turns on the mob, he could once again risk everything" "Luciano's worked so hard to build." "(narrator) After seven years on the lam in Italy..." "Vito Genovese is in federal custody and on his way back to America facing the murder charge he tried to dodge." "Frank?" "That murder charge?" "The D.A.'s got a witness." "Some guy named Pete LaTempa." "It's true, Vito." "He's gonna testify." "How could you be so stupid?" "You gotta get to this guy, Frank." "If he talks, I'm done." "(narrator) The man with evidence against Genovese is Peter LaTempa, a low-level gangster willing to exchange his testimony to reduce his sentence." "This is not good." "Doing the best I can." "It's not good enough, Frank." "What are we gonna do?" "(narrator) To Luciano, Genovese has been a liability for years, failing as a boss and drawing attention to the mob." "Now, if Genovese snitches to the feds, he could destroy everything Luciano has built." "(Richard Hammer) During the war, Genovese was working with Mussolini." "Luciano was a patriot." "And Luciano hated him." "If he could have, he would have had him killed." "(narrator) Despite their differences," "Luciano knows he and Genovese have built a criminal empire together, and he refuses to turn his back on one of his inner circle." "(guard) LaTempa, it's time for your daily dose." "(groaning)" "(coughing)" "(narrator) On January 15, 1945," "Pete LaTempa is found poisoned in his cell." "Lucky Luciano has saved Vito Genovese." "And without a key witness, the feds may no longer have a case." "Just four months later, the Allies declare victory in Europe." "And soon after, victory in Japan." "After six long years of fighting across the globe," "World War Two is finally over." "And now, Luciano wants to make sure the valuable help he's given to the war effort doesn't go unrewarded." "(Richard Hammer) Luciano thought of himself as an American patriot." "The United States was getting lots and lots of assistance from Luciano, and he thought that as a reward for his service in World War Two, he would be allowed to resume his power." "(narrator) Luciano drafts a letter pleading his case for parole." "To grant him clemency," "New York's newly-elected governor, the man responsible for putting Luciano in prison, Thomas Dewey." "But Dewey has no reason to grant Luciano a pardon and every reason to keep him behind bars." "Five months go by without word from Dewey." "By now, Luciano has been in prison for nearly ten years." "The entire time, he's been scheming to find a way out." "(Michael Green) Lucky wants out of jail." "He wants to go back to making money and running his organized crime syndicate." "Lucky Luciano is willing to do anything to stay in power." "(narrator) In his quest to gain his freedom," "Luciano has done favors for the FBI, the United States Navy, and even Thomas Dewey." "But with no response to his quest for parole, it seems it's all been for nothing." "(narrator) In 1945, Lucky Luciano sent a letter requesting parole to New York's governor, Thomas Dewey." "It's been seven months and still no response." "When will we know?" "Well, that's up to Dewey." "Soon, Charlie, I'll push it, soon." "I've been talking to my guys in the Navy, and they're leaning on him real hard." "That doesn't mean he's gonna sign it." "All we can do is try to push all the right buttons and hope for the best." "♪" "(narrator) With Luciano's request for a pardon in hand," "Thomas Dewey must make a crucial decision." "He's built his political career on the back of Luciano's conviction." "But now, he's getting pressure to free Luciano from the United States Navy." "Pressure was put on Dewey because of Luciano's war service, which was extensive." "(narrator) But Luciano's work on behalf of the military is classified." "If Dewey does pardon Luciano, he won't be able to reveal the reason." "And for a politician with presidential aspirations, releasing America's most notorious gangster could be a major liability." "The commutation of Luciano's sentence was a politically controversial issue at the time." "And it was a difficult one for him politically." "(narrator) With pressure mounting on all sides," "Thomas Dewey comes up with a solution to appease the military, protect his political future, and deal with Luciano once and for all." "(indistinct shouting)" "I, uh, came as soon as I got word." "Dewey signed the papers." "But, um..." "You can't stay here." "They're deporting you." "To Italy." "I'm an American." "(Thomas Dewey III) Based on the help that Luciano had given to the government during the war," "with the additional condition that he'd be deported and not returning to the United States." "I guess I'll go back." "♪" "(narrator) After ten years, Luciano has finally won his freedom." "But it's come at a steep price." "(ship's horn blaring)" "For the first time since his incarceration," "Luciano's original crew is together again." "Benny, you came all this way to see me go." "Had to say good-bye." " Francesco." " Charlie." "I just got word." "The D.A.'s gonna drop the charges against Vito." "He's being released." "Just keep an eye on him." "(ship's horn blowing)" "Meyer." " I'm gonna miss you." " I'll miss you, too." "Come visit me sometime, huh?" "(bell clanging)" "♪" "(narrator) 40 years after he arrived in New York, a penniless immigrant from Sicily," "Lucky Luciano is being forced to leave the country he considers home." "Luciano thought of himself as an American." "This is where he had made it." "This is where he wanted to be." "And he thought that he would be allowed to stay here and resume his power." "(narrator) Luciano and his crew have climbed their way to the top of the New York underworld, amassed a fortune most men can only dream of, and built a criminal empire together."

"Yes, Granny" "You want me to save them to preserve your sect's reputation" "But you'll be compromising your own life" "This is a deadly poison." "Swallow it and I'll save them" "It's a fake pill" "Good." "You've got backbone" "But it wouldn't take effect at once." "Young lady, follow me" "If I'm happy," "I might give you the antidote" "Li!"

"But we're not official in-laws" "Unless..." "Unless they get married on the 27th" "That's easy to make it" "Think about it.Would I not help my daughter-in-law" "Can I refuse to help my relatives?" "But I can't do that now" "We don't even know where Minmin is." "This marriage..." "Your Highness, I'll get her back" "Great." "You said it yourself" "It's decided then" "A day." "I'll give you a day's grace" "A day?" "What's wrong with a day?" "It isn't short" "If you're serious about it, she'll be standing beside you tonight" "Yes, Your Highness" "Chahan..." "Let me say this beforehand lf I don't see Minmin before noon," "I'll act accordingly .Don't think I didn't notice you've been leaving signs along" "Why walked so fast?" "So hot, take a rest" "You don't think that I don't know" "You are making signal along the way" "Grandmother, am I right?" "Granny, I told you we needn't get in touch with them personally" "They'll come looking for us" "Looks like I'm right" "Afterwards we should be" "Slightly make small plan the Dragon Sabre in our hands" "You're becoming more intelligent" "I owe it to your guidance" "Stop fawning on me" "Who are they?" "Granny is asking you a question?" "If you refuse to answer," "Granny won't give you the antidote" "Sister Chou" "When the poison takes effect, your face will become deformed" "You'll be absolutely hideous!" "Say it" "He's called Zhang Wuji" "Zhang Wuji?" "lsn't he Zeng A-niu?" "Zhang Wuii?" "I'd already noticed that lad at Butterfly Valley" "A pity he refused to follow me to Snake Island" "I had good foresight." "He became the chief of Ming Sect soon after" "What about the lady?" "Her name is Xiaozhao" "I'm referring to the other one" "Zhao Min.The princess from Ruyang Palace" "It's so hot!" "Come, Xiaozhao" "It's really hot!" "Take a rest" "It's so hot!" "Let me soak my legs" "Didn't I tell you to take a horse carriage instead of walking?" "Yet you were so afraid we'd lose Granny Golden Flower" "Master, are you thirsty?" "Want some water?" "It's all right." "You have it" "Take a rest then" "It's all right" "Master, look" "This looks like Miss Zhou's outfit" "Let me take a look" "It's true!" "I've been keeping watch" "Miss Zhou knew we were following." "She deliberately left these signs" "Your Miss Zhou is really smart" "What are you holding?" "It's a handkerchief Miss Zhou once took care of me at the Han Lake" "Let me see it" "You've been keeping it?" "I've been carrying it with me" "You're really sentimental to keep her handkerchief with you" "Master..." "Where did you throw it?" "I asked you to get down to water but you refused" "For this yarn you tried to jump into the water" "I'm not her match!" "I detest you..." "It's itchy!" "I detest you, Zhang Wuji!" "Master, quick, get up" "I'm hungry. I'm going to get some food" "Master, Her Highness has left" "Have a pleasant meal" "Haven't you ordered enough dishes?" "How can we finish them all?" "Xiaozhao, eat your fill. lt's my treat" "Master, your favourite" "What are you doing?" "I'm the one footing the bill" "Master Zhang" "My clothes are dirty." "I'll have them changed" "You tuck in with Miss Zhao first" "Yes, Master" "Her Highness,are you angry with Master?" "Was I too petty?" "Or am I jealous of that woman?" "Her Highness, what do you mean?" "Xiaozhao, are Han women more conservative and reserved?" "From what I know, according to their traditions, if a Han woman's body is seen by a man" "Even been seen by him a man, she'll have to follow him ls that true?" "I suppose so" "You suppose so?" "You're not a Han?" "I've asked the wrong person!" "Xiaozhao, you've been with your master for some time, right?" "You've been taking care of his daily needs?" "Since you're on close terms, I'm sure you talk about almost anything" "I guess so" "Has he ever mentioned me?" "Yes" "Yes?" "What did he say about me?" "Xiaozhao!" "Your Highness,do you want me to speak the truth?" "Of course the truth!" "I'll say it then." "Your Highness, you mustn't be angry" "Your Highness, you mustn't be angry" "Master always says you're crafty, decisive, cunning..." "I'm not interested in these" "I knew he'd criticize me like that." "What I want to know is..." "Yes?" "Whether he's fond of me" "Between me and Zhou Zhiruo," "Who stands the light position?" "Are you saying you're fond of Master?" "If I weren't fond of him, he'd have been killed many times!" "Xiaozhao, you haven't answered me" "Freeze!" "Where's Zhang Wuji?" "Brother!" "Father has sent out notices to search for you in every town and province" "Found whereabouts you, have to inform" "I'm not going back" "Sister, don't make things difficult for me" "You're the one making things difficult for me" "Father has ordered me to bring you back, by hook or by crook" "Don't force me to hurt you!" "You... 7th Prince would act accordingly if you refuse to go back" "Act against who?" "Father?" "Would he act against Father?" "Come with me" "NO Way!" "I'll have to resort to violence then" "You..." "Brother, I'm sorry." "Xiaozhao, let's go" "Yes" "Let's go" "Yes" "Chase after them!" "Quick..." "Your brother isn't chasing after us.Where's Xiaozhao?" "Xiaozhao?" "She was behind me all the while" "Where's the Qiankun Reversal manual?" "Where's the Sacred Fire Token?" "You've been at Guangming Peak for more than a month" "You've accomplished nothing and even let Zhang master Qiankun Reversal" "He even became the chief of Ming Sect" "Are you lending him a hand?" "Have you fallen in love with Zhang?" "Since you were a child, you've had this bad habit of not answering" "Hold this" "This is the 10 Fragrance Powder" "You must ensure" "Zhang Wuji eats it" "I'm going to use Zhang as a bait to get the Dragon Sabre from Xie Xun" "I won't pursue the past" "If you fail in your mission, don't see me ever again" "Quick, go before Zhang Wuji's suspicions are aroused" "Granny, she..." "What about her?" "Don't meddle in my affairs" "How is Xiaozhao related to Granny?" "Why did Granny look for her?" "What are you thinking?" "I was wandering whether we need to continue our journey, or'?" "The day turns dark, how to continue journey?" "Stay here, bring Chou Zhi Ruo" "Xiao Shao" "Where have you been?" "You got me all worried" "I lost my way.Were you really worried about me?" "Of course he was!" "He even broke out in perspiration" "He insisted on waiting for you here" "Keep waiting at here" "I'm relieved to see that you're fine" "Let's find a place to put up for the night" "Master, wash up" "You're tired." "Turn in early" "Master, let me make you some tea" "Sure" "Master, Her Highness asked me a question today" "What was it?" "She asked me if you're fond of her" "She asked if Miss Zhou or her is more important to you" "Who stands a light position?" "Master?" "We still have a long day ahead.Turn in early" "Zhao Min may be artful and ruthless,but she has a kind heart" "Zhou Zhiruo is gentle and virtuous,with traditional values" "Xiaozhao is thoughtful, attentive and understanding towards others" "Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji..." "Because of you, I rejected the marriage with Prince Zhayadu" "I might offend the 7th Prince." "Are you worth my sacrifices?" "They are all nice to me" "Why am I thinking about all this?" "Mother said: the prettier a lady is,the more deceitful she is" "Besides, I've many unaccomplished tasks" "Relationship matters ought to be shelved first" "A man must have a kind heart, a sense of responsibility and be trustworthy" "He possesses all these qualities." "Why should I think so much?" "Since I've decided he's the one,I won't regret" "Father" "I don't blame you" "Given Minmin's nature," "I doubt I'd have the means to bring her back too" "Arrival of the 7th Prince ls it noon?" "My respects to you, 7th Prince" "Dispense with ceremony." "Where's Minmin?" "My son..." "I don't want to hear reasons or procedure" "I'm only interested in the outcome" "Minmin isn't back" "Men!" "Here" "Seize Chahan Temu'er" "Yes" "Your Highness, you..." "Chahan Temu'er,by His Majesty's orders," "I strip you of your Great General title" "I'll take over your duties of commanding the army and quelling the unrest" "I want to seek an audience with His Majesty!" "You'll have a chance to see him after 3 rounds of hearing" "You're too heartless" "You plotted against me time and again over Minmin's marriage" "On account of..." "Enough said!" "There's no room for negotiation" "I gave him some leeway" "He refused to take it.What other choices do I have?" "This can blame to me?" "Take him to the cell!" "7th Prince, you're too much..." "Stand aside!" "Father!" "Son, let me ask you... ls Minmin the only woman you want?" "She's the woman of my life" "What if she refuses to marry you?" "I'd rather have a shattered jade than settle for pottery" "You don't have to worry" "Have your word" "Rest assured I'll think of all ways to get Minmin to marry you" "You don't have to worry" "What's the matter?" "I don't feel comfortable" "Let's take a rest then" "I want to go home" "Master, look" "Let's go" "Sir, what did the three women want?" "Rent a boat out to sea" "When is the boat leaving?" "When the crew arrives." "You want to rent a boat too?" "Three additional helmsmen" "Are you sure?" "All my life I've only paid to hire helmsmen ls the deal on?" "Yes, of course" "Meal time..." "I've been used to feasts at home." "This is a different flavour" "What are you doing?" "I haven't seen Xiaozhao around" "Tuck in first" "How many days has it been?" "I don't believe you didn't have a chance to spike his food" "You must have held back" "Let me warn you, Xiaozhao" "Before the boat docks at Snake Island," "I want Zhang Wuji to be stripped of his internal strength" "Snake Island?" "Aren't we going to Ice Fire Island?" "Don't ask so much." "Just do your job" "Yes" "Xiaozhao..." "It's been hard on you" "I've lured Zhao Min over" "Her Heavenly Sword, combined with Xie Xun's Dragon Sabre," "On that time the swords combine together will make us commanders of the world" "We've been swallowing our pride for many years" "We can't let our efforts go down the drain now" "Sister Zhou, time to eat" "Sister Zhou, time to eat" "Are you all right?" "What can be wrong?" "I was only worried you'll be seasick" "Well, I grew up on the seas" "How could can't manage to take it?" "I tell you, you don't have to worry" "Rest assured you'll come to no harm" "Granny wouldn't make things difficult for you" "If you follow her wishes, you'll eventually be fine" "I hope so" "All right, don't think of it" "All right." "The food is getting cold.Tuck in" "Thank you"

"Then I was assigned..." " This is fucking great." " ..under John Connor." " Who was the enemy?" " A computer defence system..." "Goddamn!" "Sorry." "..built for SAC-NORAD by Cyberdyne Systems." "I see." "And this computer thinks it can win by killing the mother of its enemy." "Killing him, in effect, before he's even conceived." "A sort of retroactive abortion?" "Silberman cracks me up." "Last week, a guy burned his Afghan." " He screwed it first..." " Ed, shut up." "Why didn't the computer just kill Connor then?" "Why this elaborate scheme with the Terminator?" "It had no choice." "Their defence grid was smashed." "We'd won." "Taking out Connor then would make no difference." "Skynet had to wipe out his entire existence." "Is that when you captured the lab complex and found..." "What is it called?" "The time displacement equipment?" "That's right." "The Terminator had already gone through." "Connor sent me to intercept and they blew the whole place." "Well, how are you supposed to get back?" "I can't." "Nobody goes home." "Nobody else comes through." "It's just him and me." "It's just him and me." "Why didn't you bring any weapons?" "Something more advanced." "Don't you have ray guns?" " Ray guns." " Show me a piece of future technology." "You go naked." "Something about the field generated by a living organism." "Nothing dead will go." "I didn't build the fucking thing." "OK, OK." "But this cyborg, ifit's metal... ?" " Surrounded by living tissue." " Oh, right." "Great stuff." "I could make a career out of this guy." "See how clever it is?" "It doesn't require a shred of proof." "Most paranoid delusions are intricate, but this is brilliant." " Why were the other women killed?" " Records were lost in the war." "Skynet knew almost nothing about Connor's mother." "Her full name, where she lived." "Theyjust knew the city." "The Terminator was just being systematic." " Let's go back..." " Look, you have heard enough." "I have answered your questions." "I have to see Sarah Connor." " I'm afraid that's not up to me." " Then why am I talking to you?" " Who is in authority here?" " Please..." "Shut up!" "You still don't get it, do you?" "He'll find her." "That's what he does." "That's all he does." "You can't stop him." "He'll reach down her throat and pull her fucking heart out!" " Doc." " Let go ofme!" "Sorry." "He's crazy?" "In technical terminology, he's a loon." "Sarah, this is what they call body armour." "Our TAC guys wear these." "It'll stop a 1 2-gauge round." "This other man must've been wearing one under his coat." "Feel that." " He punched through the windshield." " He was probably on PCP." "Broke every bone in his hand." "He wouldn't feel it." "There was this guy once..." "you see this scar?" "Thank you." "There's a couch in this other room." "Stretch out and get some sleep." "Be at least an hour before your mother gets here." " I can't sleep." " Try." "It may not look it, but that couch is very comfortable." "you'll be perfectly safe." "We got 30 cops in this building." "Thank you." " Good night." " Good night." "I'm a friend of Sarah Connor." "I was told she's here." "Could I see her?" "No." "Can't see her." "She's making a statement." "Where is she?" "It make take a while." "If you wanna wait, there's a bench over there." "I'll be back." "Stay here." "Watch him." "Ed..." "Sarah!" "Reese." "This way." "KFLB news time. 4.36." "Top story - the largest single law enforcement mobilisation in California history is currently underway." "Police in five counties are engaged in a massive manhunt for..." "Take this." "All right." "Let's get this off the road." " you cold?" " Freezing." "Reese?" " you got a first name?" " Kyle." "Kyle, what's it like when you go through time?" "White light." "Pain." " It's like being born maybe." " My God." "I caught one back there." " you mean you got shot?" " It's not bad." " We gotta get you to a doctor." " It's OK." "Forget it." "What do you mean, forget it?" "Are you crazy?" "Take this off." "Jesus." "See?" "It passed right through the meat." "This is gonna make me puke." " Would you just talk about something?" " What?" "I don't know." "Anything." "Just talk." "Tell me about my son." "He's about my height." "He has your eyes." "What's he like?" "you trust him." "He's got a strength." "I'd die for John Connor." "Well, at least now I know what to name him." "Don't suppose you know who the father is so I won't tell him to get lost?" "John never said much about him." " I know he dies before the war..." " Wait." "I don't wanna know." "So was it John that sent you here?" "I volunteered." " Why?" " It was a chance to meet the legend." "Sarah Connor, who taught her son to fight, organise, prepare from when he was a kid." "When you were in hiding before the war." "you're talking about things I haven't done yet in the past tense." "It's driving me crazy." "Are you sure you have the right person?" "I'm sure." "Come on!" "Do I look like the mother of the future?" "I mean, am I tough?" "Organised?" "I can't even balance my chequebook." "Look, Reese, I didn't ask for this honour and I don't want it." "Any of it." "your son gave me a message to give to you." "Made me memorise it." "Thank you, Sarah, for your courage through the dark years." "I can't help you with what you must soon face." "The future is not set." "you must be stronger than you imagine you can be." "you must survive or I will never exist." "That's all." "It's a good field dressing." "you like it?" "It's my first." "Get some sleep." "It'll be light soon." "OK." "Talk to me some more." "About what?" "Tell me about where you're from." "All right." "you stay down by day, but at night you can move around." "you still have to be careful because the H-Ks use infrared." "But they're not too bright." "John taught us ways to dust them." "That's when the infiltrators started to appear." "The Terminators were the newest." "The worst." "Traversing your sector in search mode." "750 metres north ofyour position." "Let's go." " Reese." "DN384..." " Right." "Let him in." "Terminator!" "I was dreaming about dogs." "We use 'em to spot Terminators." "your world is pretty terrifying." "Hey, buddy, you got a dead cat in there or what?" "Fuck you, asshole." "God damn." "Thank you." "Is this enough?" "yeah, it's enough." "I don't wanna ask where you got it." " I'm coming." " We need a room." " With a kitchen." " Do you have one with a kitchen?" "I am dying for a shower." "We should check your bandage, too." "Later." "I'm going out for supplies." "Keep this." "No, I can't tell you where I am, Mom." "I was told not to say." "I need to know where to reach you." "You tell me to hide out at the cabin and you won't tell me what's going on?" "I am worried sick here." "OK." "OK, here's the number." " You ready?" " yes." "Go ahead." "It's 408 555 1439." "Room nine." " Got it?" " I've got it." "I gotta go." "I'm sorry I can't tell you more right now." "I love you, Mom." "I love you, too, sweetheart." " Tiki Motel." " Give me your address there." "What have we got?" "Mothballs... corn syrup... ammonia." "What's for dinner?" " Plastique." " That sounds good." "What is it?" "It's a nitroglycerin base." "It's a bit more stable." "I learned to make it when I was a kid." "Make sure there's none on the threads." "Like this." "Screw the end cap on." "Very gently." "you must've had a fun childhood." "That's good." "All right." "Six more like that and I'll get started on the fuses." "He'll find us, won't he?" "Probably." "It'll never be over, will it?" "Look at me." "I'm shaking." "Some legend." "you must be pretty disappointed." "No, I'm not." "Kyle, the women in your time, what are they like?" "Good fighters." "That's not what I meant." "Was there someone special?" "Someone...?" "A girl, you know." "No." "Never." "Never?" "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "So much pain." "Pain can be controlled." "you just disconnect it." "So you feel nothing?" "John Connor gave me a picture of you once." "I didn't know why at the time." "It was very old, torn, faded." "you were young like you are now." "you seemed just a little sad." "I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment." "I memorised every line, every curve." "I came across time for you, Sarah." "I love you." "I always have." "I shouldn't have said that." "Think fast." "Trade places." "Faster." "Drive faster." "Kyle." "Oh, my God." "you stay here." "Let's get outta here." "Get out." "Kyle." "Come on." "Get up." "Come on." "Help me." "Get out." "Get out." "Don't stop." "Run." "Sarah." "Kyle." "We did it, Kyle." "We got him." "No." "Wait." "What are you doing?" "Cover, so he can't track us." "Come on." "No." "Kyle." "Come on." " Come on." " Leave me here." "Move it, Reese." "On your feet, soldier." "On your feet." "Move it." "Get back." "Go back." " Run, Sarah." " No." "Run." "Run." "Come on, motherfucker." "No." "you're terminated, fucker." "Kyle." "Seven." "November 10." "Where was I?" "What's difficult is trying to decide what to tell you and what not to." "But I guess I have a while before you're old enough to understand these tapes." "They're more for me at this point just so that I can get it straight." "Fill her up." "Should I tell you about your father?" "Boy, that's a tough one." "Will it effect your decision to send him here, knowing that he is your father?" "If you don't send Kyle, you can never be." "God, a person could go crazy thinking about this." "I suppose I will tell you." "I owe him that." "Maybe it'll help if... you know that in the few hours that we had together," "we loved a lifetime's worth." " What did he just say?" " He says you're very beautiful." "He is ashamed to ask you for five dollars for this picture." "But if he doesn't, his father will beat him." "Pretty good hustle, kid." "What did he just say?" "He said there's a storm coming in." "I know." "Sr_Ryck"

"Morning, Cecil." "Sleep all right?" "You know, Cecil, we could at least talk to each other if you're living here." "I won't tell anyone." "You haven't told anyone I'm living here, have you?" "No." "I don't want people to think I'm like you." "You've no reason to sit out the war." "What war?" "The war." "The World War." "There's a world war on." "Oh, yeah, yeah, how are we doing?" "The lads are doing brilliantly." "Last week they took Casteau in a stunning tactical victory." "Bobby Abbot died a hero, God rest his soul." "Top brass say the only thing holding us back now is that we desperately need more troops." "Hmmm, that is a pickle." "Remind me, Bert, why are you not fighting in the war?" "Oh, yeah..." "I'm not in the army." "Do you remember a day some weeks ago, where a lot of men who weren't in the army actually volunteered to join the army?" "I can see myself signing up, but only in peacetime and certainly not now." "There's never been a better time to be a single man in England." "Urgh, oh, my God, George, it's brown!" "Oh." "Could you two maybe sort this out while I'm at work?" "Just because at the moment you don't really do anything round the house." "That is totally unfair." "Oh, sorry, Bert, what have you done?" "Ranked all the potatoes." "They're in a line out the back." "I put the best at the front." "I think we should eat them in reverse." "Or right way round." "I don't have a pref..." "Where do you stand, Cecil?" "What are you talking about?" "Potatoes, mainly." "Right, you're coming to the memorial service." "Let's see how it makes you feel." "Is George coming?" "No, George is confused about the war." "I'm not confused." "I'm opposed to it." "I'm kind of opposed to the war, too." "You're not opposed to the war, you'd forgotten there was a war on." "It's a form of opposition." "It's not a very effective form." "It's not today." "Scoundrel!" "Well, I thought it was an excellent service." "Why's Gracie holding a sapling?" "They're planting a tree for Bobby on the village green." "The idea is that it'll keep alive the memory of the supreme sacrifice..." "Yeah." "Who's that?" "That's Gwyneth, Bobby's widow." "Oh, that's Bobby's widow?" "Wow." "Where's she going?" "What's the plan, where's everyone going?" "Shall we...?" "There's a reception at the pub." "I assumed you wouldn't want to..." "I suddenly feel I should be there." "Gwyneth will be there, yes?" "Well, yes, I'd have thought so, why do you ask?" "Well, how much do you want me to dress it up?" "I'm single, she's single." "Bert!" "She's a grieving widow!" "Yeah, I know." "Typical, isn't it?" "What's typical?" "What bit of the situation are you constantly encountering?" "I'm trying something and you're trying to stop me." "Do you not have any respect for Bobby's memory?" "Cecil, please, this has got nothing to do with Bobby." "Here we are at Bobby Abbott's memorial service." "Your opinion, and I quote, "This has got nothing to do with Bobby."" "What do you want from me?" "She's not not pretty, just cos her husband's dead." "I want to hear you say it." "Say, "I am trying to steal a dead man's wife."" "OK." "I am trying to steal a dead man's wife." "Hup, two, three, four..." "Good morning, Philip." "Hello." "Darling!" "Darling!" "Winky!" "You didn't see me." "You were looking straight at me." "Where have you been?" "I haven't seen you for ages!" "I know..." "We've both just been so busy." "Oh, God, yeah, it's awful, isn't it?" "The marking is inhuman." "But, hey, listen, if you ever want to join forces," "I'm a bit of a dab hand with the old red pencil." "I certainly know my way round a tick." "Or cross." "Where necessary." "Despite my best eff..." "I'd better go, George." "OK, sure." "Oh, Winky, love, sorry..." "A bit of boring wedding stuff." "When we get married, would you prefer me in a bow tie or a cravat?" "I don't mind." "Good." "So, when we get married, you won't mind." "Great, that's a relief." "So I'll look into both those options." "For when we get married." "We are getting married, aren't we?" "Oh, I'd better get to class!" "Saved by the bell!" "We should finish this conversation at some point," "I imagine, but, go get 'em, tiger!" "Bite their little heads off!" "No, I don't know what I mean by that." "Just to let you know, I saw all of that." "Good morning, Headmaster." "I always enjoy seeing you in action, George." "It's like watching a man repeatedly punch himself in the face." "Anyway, the mothers want you sacked." "Pardon?" "So I'll be sitting in on your lessons today." "And I don't want any surprises." "If I find you to be incompetent, weak or slapdash, then I'll leave satisfied." "Because it wouldn't surprise me at all to find that." "George!" "But in all seriousness, put on a show out there." "Your career's on the line." "What's happened here?" "Is it under new management or something?" "Arthur's wife's taken over while he's in France." "Oh, is he on holiday?" "No, Bert, the war." "The war!" "The war, I know." "All right, better go flirt with the widow." "Yeah, wouldn't want that not to happen." "Hi." "Hello." "How are you?" "I'm sorry, were you close to Bobby?" "Yeah, oh, we were incredibly close." "May I ask, what's your favourite memory of him?" "Probably the..." "Actually, I'd rather not talk about it." "It makes me too sad." "I do love hearing memories of Bobby." "That's why I'm going to carry on even though it makes me sad." "So, memories of Bob." "Specific memories." "Probably the time we saw the golden eagle." "I didn't think you got golden eagles in this country." "Don't believe everything you read." "It flew down and landed on his hand." "It really trusted him." "That's beautiful." "Thank you." "And another thing." "It could speak." "Could it speak?" "No, that is too far." "But it made a kind of a tweeting sound." "Did it?" "Could've done." "Oh, I wish he was here with us right now." "Oh, come here." "Grumpy guts." "What's wrong with ya?" "It's not fair." "I know, they're all bastards in the end, aren't they?" "I just miss him so much." "That's it, let it all out." "One big burst and then we'll move on." "To pastures new." "All right, open your textbooks to chapter four." "Equilateral triangles." "Boring, maths, isn't it?" "Yes, Archie?" "I left my textbook at home, sir." "Right, try and remember..." "And we're in business." "First of the day." "Sorry, Headmaster, what's the trouble?" "Nothing." "Let's get the boy caned." "Which boy?" "The fat one." "Fatty." "Is that his nickname?" "It could be." "He only forgot his textbook." "George, don't start." "We have a boy who thinks he can do whatever he wants." "He's clearly an over-eater, so obviously has no ability to control his behaviour, and unless he's met by force, he will become one of the criminals and murderers who are the ruin of our civilised society." "I can handle this one myself, actually." "The little shit's got me bloody riled up." "Hand me your cane, George." "I don't have one." "Whatdoyou use to beat them?" "I don't use anything." "Oh, just the hand, eh?" "You prefer it to be more of a mutual experience?" "Pretend you're them?" "No, what I mean is I don't beat them at all." "Oh, George, why do you do it to yourself, lad?" "Well, if it's trouble you want, you've got it, old friend." "You carry on for now." "Teach them a few sums, or whatever the hell it is you do." "Excuse me." "Excuse me!" "Yeah?" "Pint of Farmers, please." "We don't do beer, any more." "There's no point, all the men have gone." "Right, ha." "Clearly not all the men have gone." "Oh, no, you're right." "My apologies." "Some of the men chosenotto volunteer." "It's not my fault I have flat feet." "I want..." "The doctor..." "I won't go into it." "What do you have?" "White wine." "Fine, I'll have a white wine." "I'll see if we've got a glass." "Why wouldn't you have a glass?" "That's a stupid comment." "Here he is." "My pointless brother." "Doing his bit for the war effort." "Why is he alive?" "Nobody knows." "All right, bring it on." "Bit of friendly sibling rivalry." "It should have been you that died." "Oooh, quite strong." "Gone for the jugular." "Why isn't your brother at war, Agnes?" "They don't allow fruits in the army." "I'm not a fruit, am I, Agnes?" "Glass of white wine." "Right, I didn't ask for that." "They don't have any beer, do you?" "No, we have beer." "This is a pub." "Right, well, yeah, I don't even know you but congratulations." "Very neat." "Oh, my God." "Your cretinous friend is attacking Gwyneth." "He's not my friend." "All right, come on, don't milk it." "How dare you talk to her." "Agnes, I'm so sorry." "I had no idea you wanted us to be exclusive." "Sorry, what's the matter?" "Ladies, please." "Don't get excited." "I'm sorry, Gwyneth, this is very awkward." "Agnes and I were lovers." "But honestly, Agnes, this is scarcely an appropriate time to discuss our relationship." "This is a memorial service." "Yuck." "This is your doing." "What?" "How does that work?" "I don't know, but you're all in it together." "Your little gang." "Agnes, I promise he's just paying his respects." "Bert, tell her." "I don't know what's going on." "All I'll say is you can't both have me." "Although, actually, maybe we could come up with some sort of rota." "Or even something more... communal." "You're a degenerate." "They do it in London." "I've had enough of you." "I will make it my personal mission to ensure that every woman in this village feels the same revulsion towards you as I do." "What's her problem?" "I think part of the problem is that you told her you were a lieutenant in order to sleep with her." "Get over it, mate." "Christ, that is an albatross round my neck." "Shame on you." "Thank you." "More hate mail?" "More mail, so, yes." "Oh, don't do that, George likes to reply to them." "He says he's beginning to earn their respect." "Traitors!" "Bit early for whisky, isn't it, Bert?" "Oh, no, this is water." "Oh, God, it's getting worse." "We should see Rich Warren, he's the best plumber." "We can't see Rich Warren." "He's joined the army." "I am loathe to use Dave Brewster." "Honestly, the man's a clown." "No, Bert, listen, there's no men left." "All right, keep your wig on, we'll just go here." "The Civilian Relief Committee?" "Yeah, definitely!" "I don't know why we didn't think of it before." "I do..." "cos I have no idea what it means." "Committee." "Relief." "Civilians." "Yeah, thanks for explaining, Bert." "Is that Mrs Fowler-Platt's latest offering?" "Yeah." "Look at the detail on the rope." "Technically it's a big step forward." "She improves every day." "It's very exciting." "There's a storm brewing, George." "Oh, my giddy aunt!" "The mothers know you don't cane their children." "You have unleashed a wave of fury." "Well, how did they find that out?" "I went round telling them." "You have unleashed a wave of fury, is the main point here." "The mothers want your head on a platter." "And yet... come close." "Oh, yup, OK..." "You are the last male teacher I have." "And if I turn this school entirely over to the hands of women, it's my honest opinion it'll be burnt to the ground within a day." "So I'm going to keep you." "Because I'm a man?" "Sort of." "Well, why, then?" "No, because you're sort of a man, but..." "Move away!" "I will need a gesture from you to appease the parents." "They want to see you cane pig-boy." "Their words." "Once." "In public." "Then the matter'll be dropped." "We've been over this." "I won't beat an innocent child." "That's an absurd position to take." "We used to have people like you in the Boer War." "These men you'd find twined around other men." "Right." "Actually, I think you're talking about homosexuals there, not pacifists." "Yes?" "What exactly is the difference?" "Well..." "No, George, that was a rhetorical question." "There is no difference." "Fatty and I will be waiting for you after school." "The children and I sleep in the fields, but my son was bitten by a rat and I wondered if someone could take us to hospital." "We would walk," "I know it's only 20 miles, but... his blackouts are becoming more frequent and I'm too weak to carry him." "All right." "Let me deal with these people first and then I'll see if there's anybody who can give you a ride." "Thank you." "Right, what can we do for you?" "Hello." "Yeah." "So, um, I'm not sure this is the right place, actually, but..." "I'll just say it, shall I?" "When we turn on the tap in our kitchen, the water that comes out is quite brown." "Is that it?" "That's not the sort of thing we deal with here." "Oh, right, course." "Sorry." "We weren't sure." "This is a committee for those impoverished by war." "Yep." "In hindsight, it is completely obvious." "You are showing a total lack of awareness of the suffering going on all around you." "Indeed." "Indeed." "A lot of new systems in place, just trying to fathom them out." "Keep up the good work." "Hang on." "You're not going to let her fob you off like that, are you?" "She's fobbing you off, mate." "I don't think she is, Bert." "Excuse me." "I don't know what part of this didn't come across, but let me reiterate... our water is brown!" "It is brown!" "And I am proud to say" "I will not drink a mug of brown water for my breakfast." "Thank you kindly." "So that gives you 24 hours, tops, before you've got a corpse on your hands." "My corpse." "On your hands." "Obviously, we'd drink the water rather than die of dehydration." "I'm not, it's the grossest thing ever." "I'd rather drink your piss, Cecil." "Excuse me, how long are you..." "Pipe down, love, you had your turn." "While I've got the floor, could somebody mow the village green for a change and look at the verges, they're a laughing stock." "This is all him." "He's off-piste." "I'm talking about basic land husbandry." "This was the best-kept village in the county, now it looks like a war-zone." "Oh, that is crass, given the circumstances." "Right, come on, Bert." "Sorry, everyone, sorry about him." "Thanks for your help, or lack of help... not that that's a criticism, you're behaving exactly as you should." "It's quite stirring really." "Stirring stuff." "So, to sum up, goodbye and sorry about the rat." "Oh, sorry, didn't see you there." "Oh, that's a shame." "I can't do this, I'll be a disgrace to the movement." "George, do you actually know any other conscientious objectors?" "Yes, I do." "I've written to one." "He hasn't got back to me, actually." "I can't keep doing this, George." "You need to work out what your priorities are." "All right, but you're not saying... you'll break off the engagement unless I beat a 10-year-old boy?" "No, that's exactly what I'm saying." "Oh..." "Quite an odd ultimatum." "Fine, as long as you know, this goes against everything I stand for and will basically render me a moral shell of a human being." "OK?" "In I go." "Right, where is he?" "Ah, cometh the hour, cometh the man." "Right!" "Um..." "Come on, Archie." "Fine." "Here we go." "I'm going to do this now." "This is what you wanted." "I hope you're happy." "Get ready, Archie." "Three, two, one." "Oh, God, that's horrible." "Oh, I can't believe I'm doing this." "Lose yourself, George!" "Is that too hard?" "Are you meant to do it so hard?" "Shall I just keep going like that?" "I'm going to." "I'm so sorry, Archie." "You're a good boy really." "You're not fat, a lot of kids are a bit chubby at your age." "Why'd you have to forget your book, Archie?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Why?" "!" "Why...?" "!" "Oh!" "Hello." "Sorry, we haven't met." "I'm George." "Oh, sorry, this is Meriel." "OK." "How do you two know each other?" "She's a friend of mine." "Right." "Would you like some dinner?" "What is it?" "It's crow." "OK." "Boys, I actually need to show you something in the larder quickly." "Excuse us, Meriel." "Right, first things first, what's going on with the crow?" "Just roasted it, basically." "Bit of rosemary." "The important thing is not to over-cook it, I find." "Yeah, yeah." "I suppose my question was more, why is a crow on the menu in the first place?" "Oh, yeah." "The butchers didn't have any meat." "Well, they had meat, but because we're..." "What did she say, Cecil?" "The shit on Satan's shoe." "The shit on Satan's shoe, yeah, the lady wouldn't give us any." "But we've had the last laugh, really, because we are eating a crow." "Good." "Next up, who's the old lady in my living room?" "Oh, that's Meriel." "Yeah, who is she?" "Bit of a find, to be honest." "Just stumbled across her in the queue for the butchers." "A real ruby in the dust." "He keeps saying that, I don't know why." "Yeah, why have you brought her here?" "Well, not to put too fine a point on it, I'm hoping for a little bit of... ♪ Sexual intercourse. ♪" "Sex." "Right." "Are you mad?" "Oh, here we go." "I wonder what point's coming now?" "I wonder what insight George will come up with next." "She's very old, Bert." "Is she, George?" "Thank God you're here." "I hadn't noticed!" "She is, though." "Yes, I know, Cecil." "I've got eyes." "She's old, she's an old lady." "She was born in 1856." "Next?" "1856!" "Yeah!" "Bad isn't it?" "'I don't understand why you're doing this.'" "'Agnes over-reacted to me talking to that guy's wife' and went round telling the girls not to go near me." "And what about Meriel?" "Meriel's about 40 years older so they're not in the same social group." "40 years!" "The numbers here are staggering." "Are you happy with this situation?" "What, am I happy with the fact that no girls my age will go out with me?" "No." "Is this better than nothing?" "Don't know, actually." "But I will say this much..." "at least I'm going down fighting." "He just does whatever he wants." "It's like there are no rules any more." "I don't understand why this is happening to me." "To you?" "This is meant to be my lovely cottage!" "Look at what I'm coming home to." "You two entertaining an old lady, drinking brown water and eating a crow." "It's like a bloody witches' coven." "Also why is the water still brown?" "Can you sort that out?" "Please, George, I am now getting quite thirsty." "Oh, hello, Agnes." "Coming to check we're taking care of your big brother?" "I don't have a brother." "Classic." "Doesn't work cos I'm not your only brother, so..." "Stop embarrassing yourself." "You're embarrassing yourself." "Want to say it again, Agnes?" "Yeah, I do want to, cos you're embarrassing yourself." "Here's your stuff." "Mum doesn't want it in the house." "Every time she sees something of yours, it reminds her what a failure she's been as a mother." "Who's that woman?" "Oh, that's Meriel, Bert's current girlfriend." "Very happy together." "She's new on the scene." "Yeah, big plans, though." "Very bright future." "She's a ruby in the dust." "Probably marry her." "Probably go right ahead and slap a ring on it and then she gets the prize and you die alone." "Don't try coming back to me, Agnes." "Do not even try." "I mean, give it a go if you want, obviously, things can change." "Would you like some crow?" "What is going on in this house?" "!" "You are barbarians." "Come on, Winky." "I won't leave you with these people." "I don't mind." "George and I..." "No arguments, get your things." "Hang on, she's my wife, more or less." "Stop lying to yourself, George, the marriage is dead." "Good riddance." "Bye, George." "Cheerio, Winky." "As an outsider, one thing I've noticed is that you needn't have caned that boy at all." "You only did it for Winky, but she left you anyway." "You could've not compromised your principles..." "Thanks, Bert." "That's all right." "White wine for you two." "And lovely water for me." "Oh, that is so good." "Where's Meriel got to?" "Oooh!" "That is humiliating for you, isn't it, Bert?" "I'm cleaning up here." "It's everywhere." "Everywhere I look and there's absolutely no competition." "See you later, lads." "And she's four years younger than me." "Ladies, those of you that are here for the book group, please make your way through to the dining room." "And, I don't think I need to remind you, that later this evening" "Mrs Shirley will be dropping in to show off her beautiful baby girl!" "Oh, that is too much." "Let's get out of here." "Oh, brother, I need to piss." "Just go back inside the pub." "I'm not going back in there." "I'll go here." "Not in public!" "You're such a prude." "Good night." "Oh, no." "This doesn't look good." "What's going on out here?" "He's urinating on Bobby's memorial tree!" "What shall I do?" "You should be shot!" "I'll strangle him with my bare hands!" "Don't go near him." "We're dealing with pure evil here." "The sooner you stop pissing, the better, mate." "There's a few comments flying in now." "Bastard!" "EG bastard." "Yes, I know." "There's quite a lot more, though." "There's very little I can do at this stage." "What's that?" "That's the guns from France, Bert." "Coming across the Channel." "Must be a big push." "It's all go!" "Oh!" "Look, here we are, finishing up." "That's the main show done with." "And now... the drips."

"London" " England" "Shanty Town" " Niger" "St. Petersburg" " Russia" "Central Train Station" " St. Petersburg" "How much?" "Pulkovo Airport" " St. Petersburg" "F.S.B Office" " St. Petersburg" "Get me a secure line" "Wait outside" "Are we on a secure line?" "Yes comrade" "I heard you lost him at the station again" "If you're trying to make me nervous Comrade it's clearly working" "Just keep it low profile while we track him down" "Don't appear in public and he won't be able to reach you" "Comrade Yuri, all of those bodies you buried and yet a single man eludes you" "The operation will not be a success until he and that whore are dead!" "They are the only ones who can ruin all of this!" "Moscow" " Russia" "You have no idea of the pain involved in the procedure" "They peel back the skin of the face... and screw a teflon frame to the bones... to duplicate the facial features." "I wonder, if I had known the pain involved... would I still have gone through with this whole double business." "Are you sure?" "Come on!" "He shot the president!" "St. Petersburg" " Russia"

"I'm going to tell you a story now." "But as any good storyteller knows, one must first be sure the audience is prepared." "Is everybody comfortably seated?" "Does anyone need to use the bathroom?" "Oh." "You, sir, in the back?" "Well, hold it in." "You ready?" "Here we go." "My name is Marty Bronson." "I owned and operated the Sunny Vista Motel, which I established on the corner of Sunset and La Cienega Boulevards in Los Angeles, California, in the year 1974." "The motel was my labor of love, and I ran it with the help Wendy..." "Wendy, the key, please, for Mr. and Mrs. Dixon." "Thank you." "And Skeeter." "May I help you with your bags, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon?" " Yes, please." " Why, thank you, young man." "You, uh, need a hand?" "No, no." "I got it." "OK." "To my boy Skeeter, the motel was a wonderland." "Way too hyper." "The galaxy's not big enough for the both of us." "A magical place." "Full of new adventures for a six-year-old boy." "Oh, Skeeter." "Come here." "Skeeter loved the old place as much as I did." "And he always tried to come up with ways to make it even better." "I've got a lot of ideas how to improve things around here." "I was thinking we could put an extra pair of socks in each room because people always forget to pack enough socks when they go on a trip." "That's a good idea." "Time for bed, I'm meeting with Mr. Nottingham." "Wait, Dad." "I'm not even tired." "Well, how about a bedtime story?" "Yay!" "Now, once upon a time, there was a little boy, and that little boy's name was Skeeter." "Well, I could tell a pretty fair tale when the muse was with me." "And making my little boy smile, now, that was truly magical." "Yeah, I was a pretty good dad and a pretty good host." "But unfortunately, a pretty bad businessman." "Can't you read the writing on the wall, Bronson?" "This motel is sinking in red ink... and I'm offering you the last lifeboat." "I don't know." "I've seen the books, Martin." "If you don't sell to me, you're going to go bankrupt." "Yes, well, I..." "I'd always hoped this place would be a home for my children." "How about this?" "If your boy works hard and shows some smarts when he grows up," "I'll let him run this place." "You promise?" "Yes." "Now sign the bloody papers." "That's my boy, Bronson." "Trust me, I'm going to turn this place into the finest hotel in Los Angeles." "It's going to be uptight and out of sight." "And just like that, our modest little Sunny Vista Motel metamorphosized into the mighty Sunny Vista Nottingham." "And for the past 25 years, it has been lovingly maintained by my now grown-up son," "Skeeter Bronson, the handyman." "Yes, though Mr. Nottingham's promise for Skeeter to run the place" " seems to have been forgotten..." " Hiya, Pop." "... my boy always works diligently with a hopeful heart, still waiting for his shot." "Mrs. Dixon?" "Is there a problem with her room?" "Nothing you should bother your tiny mind about." "Mrs. Dixon has been taking the nip bottles of liquor out of her mini-bar, and doesn't want to pay for it." "I never even touched that evil little refrigerator." "I don't drink alcohol." "Of course." "There's probably a mix-up." " I saw who took it." " OK." "He had red hair and a beard." "He was wearing a green suit with brass buttons." "And he stands about ten inches tall." "So we're talking about a leprechaun?" "There you go." "Oh, I didn't know your brother was in town." "So, um, here's what I think we should do." "Put all the missing bottles on my tab." "Next time you see any leprechauns, we'll tell Aspen." "She's half-troll." "I think, trolls eat leprechauns, am I right?" "She would." "Today magic is in the air at the grand hotel, and the winds of change are about to blow our story in a strange new direction." "But what would you expect in a hotel founded by someone who loved a good story as much as I?" "Time is of the essence here, Skeeter." "Oh, yeah, I know." "I just don't want the big boss man to get electrocuted." "Of course." " You fixed it?" " Let me see here." "Yo, yo." "Yo, yo." "Check, check." "One, two." "Come on." "Yeah, yeah." "Hear me in the back?" " Whoa, whoa." " Skeeter." "I say "Barry," you say "Nottingham."" " Barry." " Nottingham." " Barry." " Nottingham." "# Barry had a Nottingham" "# Nottingham, Nottingham" "# Barry had a Nottingham" "# Whose beard was white as snow #" "Come on, give it up for the big man." "Got them warmed up for you, sir." " It's good to see you again." " Germs." " Germs?" " Uh, Skeeter," "Mr. Nottingham has developed a fear, uh..." "Not a fear, an awareness of germs and how dangerous they can be when not properly... feared, so..." "You're doing the right thing." "I didn't shower today." "So, yeah, let me get out of here." "Barry Nottingham, everybody." " He's brilliant, him." "I love this guy." " Welcome." "As you know, I own 23 hotels from Berlin to Beijing." "But it's no secret that this one, the Sunny Vista Nottingham, is my favorite." "However, this is a 20th-century hotel." "We need something for the 21 st century." "And so, we have decided to close this hotel and to build a brand-new Sunny Vista Mega Nottingham." "This will be the largest hotel on the West Coast." "I simply don't understand what the fuss is about." "It's just a big building." "Oh, no, no." "This is like the future of the hotel business." "...and a top-secret theme that will blow your mind." "Yes!" "So I'm proud to announce the new hotel's general manager." "He's been waiting on this for a long time." "We all know how hard he works, how intelligent he is, how much this hotel means to him." "Take a bow, Mr. Kendall Duncan!" "Take a bow, Kendall." " God bless." " Boo!" "A beautiful speech, sir." "A beautiful speech." "I'm so glad you could come." "It's great to see you." "Don't touch me." "Well done, Daddy." "Oh, oh, hello there." "Do you know my daughter, Violet?" "Only by reputation, sir." "Excuse me?" "No, no, not that she has a reputation." "I always heard she's very hot." "Not hot as in hot." "Hot, I meant warm..." "Warm-hearted." "And she likes to go out and have fun, festive times, in bars, with a lot of different guys, and..." "That's the old Violet Nottingham." "Before she met me." "Now it's up to me to keep my pooky-bear out of the spotlight and nightclubs and tabloids." "Isn't that right, sir?" "Violet's off to her private tennis lesson with Roger Federer." " Oh." "All right, good for you." " Bye, boys." "Got to say, uh it's gonna be hard for me to see the hotel move locations like this." "Well, I, I do hope you'll feel able to come and work with us there." "Big as Kendall wants to make it, well, there's going to be a lot of light bulbs to change." "Someone touched me." "Is there any sanitizer?" "There is, sir." "Come this way." "I'll get you some." "Can't be too careful, Kendall." "The Hokey Pokey]" "All right, everyone finished at the pottery table, bring their art to the kiln." "The man with the rescue donkey's leaving in five minutes, if you haven't gotten a ride, hurry up." "Thank you, Principal Duva." "Oh, I'm not a principal at this party." "I'm a mom." "Hey!" "I notice no one's eating the gluten-free wheatgrass cake." "Come on." "Trust me, you just got to get past the smell." "What?" "The clown died?" " What's in that bag?" " Oh, chocolate chip cookie." " Food!" " Food!" " Slow it down, slow it down." " Hey, sissy." "Why do you bring sugary, chemical-filled crud to my house every time you visit?" "What?" "Every time?" "You haven't invited me here in four years." "What are you talking about?" "It hasn't been four years." "You were here for The Fourth of July barbecue when you punched my husband?" "Yes." "That was four years ago." "I wanted to give him a wedgie, but his underwear had holes in it." "I knew he'd be your ex-husband." "You should be happy." "All right." "Let's not start." "How are the kids handling the old divorce anyways?" "They're both kind of off right now." "Bobbi's been really quiet." "Why don't you go say hi." "I'm gonna pay the donkey guy." " Is that what stinks in here?" " No, it's the cake." "What did she make, donkey cake?" "I smell manure." "Hey, you guys." "Remember me?" "Uncle Skeeter." "Man, you got big." "Haven't seen you in a while." "Happy birthday there, Bobbi." "I'm Patrick." "She's Bobbi." "Oh, my bad." "Got you a little something." "Happy birthday, Bobbi." "Here you go." "Picked it up at the hotel." "How's school going?" " Skeeter?" " Yeah." "Getting called to the principal's office." "Look at that." "Have fun with the gifts." "And..." "Yes, yes." "Shampoo?" "And a soap?" "Hanger and a towel." "Do not talk about school with them." "What's going on with the school?" " They're closing it down." " No." " I'm getting laid off." " You?" "You're like the classic school principal." "I mean, you're, you're scary and bad with people." "Children are nervous around you." "That doesn't sound right, but, I'm just saying, what else could you do?" "Maybe, Cuban dictator?" "Or the bogeyman." "You could be the bogeyman." " Anyway..." " What, what?" "I've got some interviews set up in Arizona, which is kind of what I wanted to talk to you about." "Uh-oh." "I need you to watch the kids..." "for a week." "No!" "No, they don't even like me!" "It's not going to be difficult, Skeeter." "My friend Jill is a teacher at my school." "She'll bring the kids in with her and watch them till dinnertime." "All you gotta do is the night shift." "Why can't your stupid friend do that?" "She's got night school." "Skeeter!" "My husband left me." "I'm getting laid off." "I, I have to move." "I need your help." "So you need me." "This is good." "I'll do it." "But you got to say," ""Skeeter is the coolest." "I am a nerd."" ""Skeeter's the coolest." "I'm a nerd?"" "Yeah, you are!" "Whoo!" "OK." "Hey, you guys." "I'm going to hang out with you this week." "All right?" "Maybe we can go... fishing." "I'd rather you didn't." "Patrick's not a strong swimmer." "OK, we'll stay inside." "How about, uh, we play some poker?" " I can teach you that." " Gambling?" "I don't think so." "OK, how about we just take walks in the park" " and catalog plant species?" " Now you're talking." "I don't know anything about plants except you try to make cakes out of them!" "He liked that one." "I'm gonna end with a laugh." "Give me some." "Huh?" "I wasn't gonna hit you." "I was trying to do the fist thing." "You don't know the fist thing?" "OK, I was just..." "That's what, uh, the children do." "Hey, yeh, yeh." "Oh, this your truck, chief?" "Yes, it is, ma'am." "You realize you're taking up two parking spaces?" "It's a big truck, ma'am." "It's not that big, sir." "You could fit into one spot." "I had to park all the way down the block." "Well, next time park in that box." "Plenty of room in there." "Anyway, here's the situation." "This is not really my truck, this is the hotel I work for's truck." "So if I get a scratch on it, they take it out of my salary." "So two parking spaces provides me with what I call" ""a cushion of protection."" "Wait, a hotel?" "Oh, wait." "You're Wendy's brother." " Yeah." " I'm Jill." " Who's that?" " I'm her friend, the one helping take care of the kids." "I'm the day shift." "OK, June." "You plan on being this hostile the whole time?" "Jill." "My name is Jill." "Do you plan on keeping that haircut the rest of the time?" "Oh, haven't you heard?" "Goofy's the new handsome." " That sounds good for the environment." " Oh, we can't all have Priuses." "How do you know I drive a Prius?" "Your whole aura reads Prius." "Anyways, you're in my cushion of protection right now." "I want to back up, so if you could just zing-zang up there," " that would be helpful." " Yeah." "You might want some Cinnabons." "You'll need it." "Food!" "Give it back!" "Somebody owes me six bucks!" "So why didn't you demand that he make you the big boss of the new hotel?" "He promised your dad." "I wanted to." "It just wasn't the right time." "Let me tell you how it works." "The big man's giving the job to Kendall because he's dating his daughter." "That's the way it works, keep it in the family." "He gets the girl, he gets the job, he gets everything." "And I get nothing." " Hello?" " Where are you?" "Still there?" "I'm still where?" "Who's this?" "Look, I've got to get to class." "The kids are waiting for you, OK?" "Oh!" "Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry." "I forgot." "I'll be there in like 20 minutes." "I'm gonna baby-sit my nephew and niece tonight." "Oh, God." "Got any advice for me?" "Yes, I do." "Sometimes I baby-sit my cousins, right?" "And what I do is I let them style me hair." "Like put beads into it and braid it, make me look all real sexy." "Like Milli Vanilli, stuff like that." "You should try that." "Braid my hair?" "That's a good idea." "Can I have some French fries?" "Of course you can." "You're my best friend." "Ah!" "Actually, I really like ketchup on my face because it's rejuvenating for the skin." "So who's the real victim?" "You are." "Mmm!" "Delicious." "Do you think these signs will help?" "Well, miracles happen, you know?" "You mean like Dad coming back?" "Um..." "Hey!" "Sorry I'm late." "So, um, their pajamas are on their beds, and I will be back, um, at 8:30 to pick them up, OK?" " All right." " Here is my cell phone number." "And call me if there's any emergencies." "All right." "Have fun at night school." " Bye, guys." " Bye." "All packed up here." "I got my, uh, toothbrush and, uh, and the toothpaste." "Some clean underwear." "Well, maybe not that clean." "You guys want to watch TV?" "We don't have a TV." " Hello?" " Emergency!" "They don't have a TV." "Wendy doesn't let them watch TV." "You didn't know?" "I don't know a lot of things about these kids." "I wasn't allowed over here." "Their old man didn't like me." "OK, listen, you don't need a TV." "You can, um, play a game, do a puzzle." "I'm sure you can figure something out." "OK?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Should I let them braid my hair or something?" "Would they like that?" "I don't think anyone should touch that hair." "Hey, what do you say we go... next door and toilet paper your neighbor's trees?" "No?" "OK, bedtime!" "OK, so you guys cool?" "You have to read us a bedtime story." "Yeah, all right." "You have any?" "Whoo!" "What do you got here, anyways?" ""Rainbow Alligator Saves the Wetlands"?" "Mmm, no." ""The Organic Squirrel Gets a Bike Helmet"?" "I'm not reading these communist books to you guys." "Don't you got any real stories?" " Like what?" " Like what?" "Like, like cowboys?" "Or dragons?" "Or aliens?" "Or..." "What the heck is on my head right now?" "That's Bugsy, our guinea pig." " Why do you call him Bugsy?" " Because of his eyes." "Let me see them." "Wow!" "Those eyes would be big on a cow." "Are those eyeballs or bowling balls?" "Can't keep my eyes off of them." "Just get in there so I don't have to look at them anymore." "Goodbye." "Anyways, uh, you guys want me to, uh, make up a story for you?" "Like, like my old man used to do for me?" "Maybe I could be good at this." "All right, um..." "Here goes." "Once upon a time, in a magical, faraway kingdom..." "Once upon a time, in a magical, faraway kingdom there was a brave and noble knight." "Strikingly handsome." "Who lived in a grand castle that weary travelers from near and far would come and visit." "Now, this knight had been working his butt off for years." "You'd think he'd be a shoo-in to rule the castle, right?" " Right." " Wrong." "Actually, he wasn't even a knight at all." "Oh, no." "He was, in fact, just a lowly peasant." "And even though he was the son of the late, great Lord Marty..." "Thank you." "... and knew everything there is to know about running a castle, everyone just took him for granted." "His name was Mr. Underappreciated." "What's "underdemeciated"?" " Under de-what?" " Underdemeciated." "That's right, I forgot you were six." "His name was Sir..." "Fix-A-Lot." "But alas, the kingdom where Sir Fix-A-Lot lived did not place much value on dedication or hard work, I guess." "Because the superstar in all the land was Sir Butt-Kiss." "And he spent all his days kissing everybody's butt." "Boo!" "And my lord, yes, of course I can get you front row house seats to The Lion King." "And Sir Fix-A-Lot had a best friend, Friar Fred, who was not right in the head." "She never!" "No!" "Not our queen, I won't have that." " Were there any kids in the kingdom?" " Yes, yes." "Of course." "There were two young pages." "Mistress Stinky and Master Smelly." "Hey-oh!" "And don't forget..." "Jillian!" "The queen of the fairies!" "Queen of the fairies?" "I mean, if she has to be there, let's just make her an angry raven." "Parking spot!" "She should be a mermaid teacher." "Yeah." "The best mermaid teacher in the world." "Children, open your books to page 16." "Yes, Miss Mermaid." "Let's begin." "All right, she's a mermaid." "Whatever you want." "Anyways, back to the story." "One day the king invited all his subjects to the castle." "I bring glad tidings." "For on this day I have chosen a champion who will run this castle and be my closest advisor and bestest buddy." "My new champion is Sir Butt-Kiss!" "Thank you." "Poor Sir Fix-A-Lot had been passed over." "So, Sir Fix-A-Lot moved into a giant shoe, got a bad case of athlete's face, dove into a moat..." "Ah, what the heck." "... and got eaten by crocodiles." "The end." "The end?" "That can't be the end." " Why?" "Why not?" " It's not happy." "There aren't happy endings in real life." "Sooner you know that, the better." " It's not fair!" " What?" "What's not fair?" "I mean, shouldn't Sir Fix-A-Lot at least get a shot to be champion?" " A shot?" "Hmm..." " If Sir Fix-A-Lot is better than Sir Butt-Kiss, he should get a chance to prove it." "OK." "Yeah, yeah, Bobbi, good." "What the king really said was..." "On second thought, there is another worthy man in my kingdom, and it wouldn't be fair unless he got a shot, too." "Sir Fix-A-Lot!" "And then the crowd went nuts." "Don't Stop Believin']" "But, Sire, Fix-A-Lot is as common as muck." "Boo!" "And Friar Fred drop-kicked a booing goblin." "Boo!" "And the mermaid teacher did one of those weird tail dolphin moves." "And Stinky and Smelly did the fastest Irish jig ever." "Whoo-hoo-hoo!" "Yeah." "Right on." "Prince Bugsy busted out some fancy moves." "And then... and then..." "It started raining gumballs." "Raining gumballs?" "Why not?" "It's a bedtime story." "Anything can happen." "Yeah, yeah." "I guess in a story." "I just wish it was like that in real life." "I really do." " What was that?" " Bugsy." "Oh." "He rings that bell when he's hungry?" "No, when he needs to go to sleep." "OK." "As you wish, Your Highness." "All right, you guys, have a good sleep." "You, too, uh, weird eyes." "Well, I don't have much to work with, but I will make us a delicious breakfast that I know you will enjoy." "Yes, some banana on the rice cake, and then what do we call this?" "Wheat germ." "I was told germs are bad for you, but here goes." "I like it." "A rice cake-banana-wheat germ sandwich." "And what do we got?" "This is terrible." "Doesn't your, your mother have taste buds?" "What are we doing here?" "We got nothing to use in this house." "Hang on." "A little flavor." "It's good because, now we don't have to brush our teeth." "There you go." "At least we got a little mint going on." "Guys want one?" "Hang on." "Hello!" "Bronson?" "The television set in Mr. Nottingham's room is broken and it needs to be fixed right away." "I have a situation here." "I'm watching my nephew and my niece." "I'm sorry." "Are you having difficulty hearing me?" "Mr. Nottingham wants to watch television now!" "I hear you." "I speak trollinese, don't worry." "There's a leprechaun behind you." "Gotcha." "Thanks a lot, gentlemen." "OK." " Wow." " It's pretty, huh?" "Whoa!" "I got to go fix my boss' television set, but I need somebody to watch you two." "Violet!" "Right here." "Give a smile." "Hang on." "Violet!" "Skeeter Bronson, the handyman from the other day." "Oh, right." "Yes." "Listen, uh, I got some kids with me right now." "My nephew and niece." "But, I gotta fix your father's TV." "Could you watch them a few minutes?" "Huh?" "Yeah, yeah." "All right, I'm going." "Come in." " Mr. Nottingham, sir?" " Uh, the telly won't turn on." "It won't?" "Well, let me just take a... tallyho at it, OK?" "I'll just flip this light on." "No, no, no, no!" "Absolutely not!" "I'm fighting a cold here." "I must stay in the dark whenever possible." "Do you realize germs can reproduce 80 percent faster in bright light?" "Oh, OK." "Here we go, nice and dark again." " The germs are confused." " Come towards me." "OK." "It's got to be around here somewhere." "For heaven's sake." "I'm so sorry, sir." "I just can't see a thing." " To your left, there." " Oh!" "There's the TV." "So how's the, uh, new hotel coming, sir?" "Oh, very well." "Still dealing with the city on building permits and whatnot." "Uh-huh." "I can't tell you the secret theme." "It's so good, we don't want anyone to steal it." " I hear you, sir." " OK, I'll tell you." "Come along, sit down." "Please." "Great." "Ready?" "Rock and roll." "Vintage vinyl." "Music memorabilia in the lobby." "Oh, OK." "Like, uh, like the Hard Rock?" " The What What?" " The Hard Rock Hotel." "They've been using that theme for, like, years." "Get Kendall Duncan up here straightaway, please." "What a perfect little powder puff." "Thank you." "So, Patrick, truth or dare?" "Truth?" "How old were you the first time you kissed a girl?" "Patrick never kissed a girl." "Girls are bis-crusting." "Except for Trisha Sparks." "Ooh, is that a girl in your class, you little Romeo?" "Hey, guys." "Hi, Aunt Jill, did you get the note we left you?" "Yes, I did." "And, uh, now we have to get you guys ready for school." "So, come on." " Hi." " Hi." "Oh, hey." "You're, uh..." " Uh-huh." "Here's your fat mouse." " It's a guinea pig, but..." "And you, young man..." "I want to hear all about this little Trisha Sparks next time I see you." "Trisha Sparks is two years older than you." "She's hot." "I'm very disappointed in you, Kendall." "We almost made an apocalyptic mistake." "This rock and roll idea of yours is old hat." "Well, sir, I had every intention of putting our own spin on it." "Do you know what, Skeeter?" "I'm starting to get a fuzzy recollection of something I said to your father." "In fact, I am going to give you a shot." "If you can come up with a better theme than Kendall does," "I'll let you run the new place instead." "Oh, sir." "Don't you think this is perhaps a little too much of a cruel joke to be playing on somebody as..." "well, the, the maintenance guy?" " No, I don't." " No." "Mr. Bronson has been working for this company for 25 years." "I'm beginning to think I may have seriously underdemeciated him." "I'm sorry." ""Underdemeciated"?" "Precisely." "You can both present your ideas at my birthday party this weekend." "Thank you, Kendall." "That is all." "Mr. Bronson, the television, if you would." "Oh, and do watch out for the germ vaporizer." "Rock Me Amadeus]" "Rock Me Amadeus]" "The best day of my life!" "# Amadeus Amadeus" "# Amadeus Ow!" "Amadeus Yeah, yeah, yeah!" "# Amadeus Amadeus Amadeus" "# Ooh, rock me Amadeus" "# Amadeus Amadeus" "Whoa." "I like your car, pal." "Hey, thanks, champ." "You know what they say." "You want to be the best, you got to drive the best." "Hey, uh, not to get personal, but what's a sweet ride like that cost, anyways?" "You know what?" "Actually it's surprisingly affordable." "Yeah?" "If you saved every paycheck you earn for the rest of your life and then multiply it by ten, you could probably buy my muffler." "Ah-ooga!" "Oh, you wanna drag race, do you?" "You win!" "Good job." "What?" "This is spooky." "You've got to be kidding me!" "Look at this." "I'm losing all my candy." "How can you not see a 50-foot trailer?" "Come on." "So you have to compete for your job with Skeeter Bronson." "You'll annihilate him." "Oh, I know." "It's just a little degrading, that's all." "Thanks for being there." "I'll be there as long as there's a there to be at." "Oh, hello, children." "We're looking for Skeeter Bronson." "Oh, Mr. Bronson." "Yes, you'll find him in room 109." " OK." " Please, this way." " Oh, my God!" "Did you see that thing?" " Those eyes." "They were, they were staring into my, my very soul." " Hey, Uncle Skeeter!" " Hey!" " Just who I wanted to see." " Hey, chief, here's Bugsy." " Got him." " Why do they have to stay here?" "Because I'm on call tonight, Jennifer." "It's Jill, actually, Scooter." "It is?" "OK, yeah..." "You did not just do that." "I did." "Watch." "I'm gonna do it again." "So, guys, anything weird happen to you today?" "I had a substitute teacher with an eye patch." "Uh... that's a little weird." "I'm talking like big-time weird." "Maybe coincidence weird, uh as in gumball weird?" "We're not allowed to chew gum." "Of course you're not." "You guys want to go to sleep?" "It's only 5:30." "And we haven't had dinner." "Hmm." "OK." "Room service!" "So you've never been skateboarding?" "You've never played video games?" "Mom says they rot your brain." "That's not true." "I've been playing video games my whole life, and look at me." "Yeah, maybe she's got a point." "You." "You've never eaten bacon?" "What's bacon?" "Bacon is the juicy, fatty part of the pig right adjacent to the rear." "But delicious and tasty, not how I just made it sound." "And this is the first hamburger you've ever eaten?" " What's the verdict?" "What do you think?" " Life-changing." " Mom's gonna kill us." " No, she isn't." "First of all, she's never gonna find out about this." "And second of all, she used to eat plenty of hamburgers when we were growing up in this very room." "She did?" "Looks like Bugsy's eaten a lot of burgers in the last ten minutes." "Wow!" "He keeps going like that, we could make bacon out of Bugsy." "He's kidding, Bugsy." "Take it easy." "OK." "Let's get you carnivores to bed." "I got a, a new story I want to lay on you." "What do you think of cowboys and Indians?" "Oh, yes, tonight's the night!" "I just like cowboys and Indians 'cause of the conflict." "OK, once upon a time in the Old West," "OK, once upon a time in the Old West, before room service was even invented there was a farm hand named Jeremiah Skeets." "He was looking to get ahead in the world, but was having a problem with his current mode of transportation." "Uh, that was my horse." "That wasn't me, everybody." "Someone once told Jeremiah that if he wanted to be the best, he'd have to ride the best." "You mind showing me your finest horse?" "My ancestors believe horse spirit come down from mountain during time of fire, wind." "Many brave warrior walk trail of moon bear..." "OK." "Look, I just want to see your finest horse, not a whole thing there." " Sorry." "I can do it." " All right." "Screaming Rooster, bring out Ferrari." "Ferrari." "Oh, my." "Oh, my, oh, my!" "Look at that." "Whoa!" "I would get automatic respect riding such a beautiful animal, but I'm afraid that's just a bit out of my price range." "Tell you what, white bread." "I'll give you Ferrari for free!" "Boo-yah!" "The end." "I love it." "Brilliant story." "So he got the Ferrari for free." "I love that." "I love that." "A guy getting a free horse?" "That's not a good story." "Where's the arc?" "There's no arc." "I've not learned anything." "Also, you've got a moral obligation to them." "What are they gonna walk away from that with?" "I didn't know we were doing an After School Special." "Why can't he do something a real gentleman would do, like save a damsel in distress?" "Not a bad idea, munchkin." "OK." "So, uh..." "let's continue." "Jeremiah was out for a ride when..." "Oh, please, don't!" " Give us that jewelry." " You want my pearls?" "Help!" "Please!" "Yah!" "Yah!" "Yah!" "Whoo!" "Oh, my necklace?" "Here, take it." "Come on, boy!" "Here." "What else you got, sweetie?" "Help!" "Help!" "Leave the lady alone!" "Care for a lift, ma'am?" " Yeah." " Oh!" " Nice horse." " Oh, what, this old thing?" "Now, any of you gentlemen want to give the nice lady her stuff back?" "Not a chance, huh?" "Because I beg to differ!" " My hero." " I like that." "So Jeremiah spirited Miss Davenport away to safety, when she says..." "Shall we go drink champagne in a nearby hot tub?" " Hot tub?" " Mmm." "Uh, yeah." "No." "I was saying that because I wanted to see if you two were paying attention." "What happened was Jeremiah dropped Miss Davenport off in the nearest town, safe and sound." "How ever can I thank you, sir?" "Ah, no thanks necessary, ma'am." "But I do insist on expressing my gratitude in some manner." "Fair enough." "I'll take $100 million." "The end." "Let's hope it works." "Very well written, brilliantly constructed." "Jeremiah wouldn't take money for doing a good deed." "Uh..." "I know Jeremiah a lot better than you guys." "And believe me, he'd be all over that." "He loves money." "Mmm!" "I don't want that." "Go back, rewrite." "Rewrite." "Gentlemen don't get paid." "Will you just..." "Who's telling the story here?" "It should really end more like this." "Well, I must give you some token of my appreciation." "Oh, no." "Perhaps... a kiss?" "Touchdown." "Then an angry dwarf kicks him." "Ow!" "What the heck did you do that for?" "Because I'm angry." "Go!" "Let's go!" "All right!" "Yeah!" "I didn't do nothing to you!" " The end." " You know what?" "Laugh as much as you want." "I'll take a Ferrari and a kiss any day of the week." "I'd just like to kiss a Ferrari." " All right." "Good night." " Good night, Uncle Skeeter." "Good night, home slice." "Thanks for the stories." "You came up with all the good parts, Bobbi." "Good night, y'all." "You too there, Bugsy." "And them braids look fantastic." "They've taken years off you." "You mind sleeping over?" "I'm gonna duck out a few hours." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "Mmm." "By the way, um," "I am, uh, legally obliged to tell you that I suffer from..." "sleep panic disorder." "OK, what's, uh, sleep panic disorder?" "Believe me, you don't want to know." "What am I thinking?" "Why would anyone give me a free Ferrari?" "I must be losing my mind." "Much power of the horse underneath that hood." "Hello." "Are you the guy I'm supposed to see?" "I'm here, aren't I?" "So... am I about to get a cherry red Ferrari?" "I don't see why not." "For... free?" "Sounds good to... me!" "What do I do now?" "Eat a gumball or something?" "Yes." " Fell out of the sky, right?" " Yeah." "Shh!" "Oh!" "Shh." "I won't tell nobody." "Now, close your eyes and count to three." " OK." " Then it's all gonna happen." " No." " Yeah." " One, two..." " Yeah." "...three." "Ferrari!" "Hey!" "My wallet!" "Not anymore!" "Excuse me." "Hi, boys." "OK, thank you." "Thanks, guys." "Sorry." "I'm just trying to find my car." "All By Myself]" "Good thing my wallet only had three dollars in it." "And my Derek Jeter baseball card!" "Guys, guys, stop, please." "You've had enough, now." "Thank you." "Stop!" "Come on, man!" " Care for a lift, ma'am?" " Skeeter?" " Skeeter Bronson?" " Yes, ma'am." "What do you say you boys give the pretty lady back the pictures you took?" "Sure about that, now?" "Because I beg to differ." "Guy's got a gun!" "I'm just happy they didn't make me use this thing." " My hero." " Really?" "That was brilliant, Skeeter." "I don't know what happened." "Something came over me." "It felt good." "It felt really good." "How am I ever going to thank you?" "Hmm." "No thanks is necessary, ma'am?" "Oh, am I in the presence of a gentleman?" "At your service, ma'am." "Well, I must show my appreciation in some form." "Ow!" "Consider yourself big people-bashed, sucker." "I knew you were gonna show up." "Get in the Gremlin, Jimmy, before Sasquatch calls the cops." "Yeah, 'cause that's how we do what we do." "Right?" "That's what you get, buddy." "Oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Let's go!" "Yeah!" "Pull me in." "Let's get out of here." "Pull me in!" "Big people stink!" "OK, well, you don't see that every day." "Indeed." "And on that strange note, I bid you good night." "Yes, yes." "Oh!" "Oh!" "All right, so that's how I'm getting it." " Getting what?" " This is just..." "I shouldn't." "I, I couldn't." "You know what?" "I can." "I'm gonna take it." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about a very generous girl who wants to give her rescuer a cherry red Ferrari for free!" "This is sick!" "Well, uh, good luck with that." "I'm just going to go." "What do you mean?" "Do you have another one at your house?" "Am I, am I supposed to follow you or something?" "So seriously, no, no Ferrari?" "Where's the $100 million, at least?" "!" "Boo!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Get your own campaign vehicle." "Yeah." " Hi." " Hey, Aunt Jill." "Hey, guys." "How did last night go?" "An angry dwarf kicked me in the leg, and I didn't get a free Ferrari." "So there you go." "Oh." "How sad." " He's talking about our bedtime story." " Oh." "Uncle Skeeter said Jeremiah would get a new horse and a kiss, but I said the dwarf would kick him." "You said it." "Maybe that's how it works." "The kids control the stories." "And there are the wind chimes." "You know what that means." "What what means?" "Huh?" "Nothing." "Don't worry about it." "I won't." "OK, guys." "Um, what is Bugsy doing?" "Working off the hamburgers he ate last night." "Yes, I gave Bugsy some hamburgers, but I gave the children that wheat germ stuff because that's what they love." "I guess it's, uh, Bugsy watching the TV then too?" "Yeah, I flipped that on and, look, he's glued to it." "I'm innocent!" "What was that?" "Uh... that was the sleep panic disorder, I believe." "Why don't we, uh, get out of here before the next attack." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Give your uncle a kiss." "I'm a relative, I deserve it." "Right there." "Oh, that felt nice." "How about one more for the road?" " No." " Come on, baby!" "Don't worry, we'll be back tonight." "Yeah, no, I'm not worried." "You're coming back, we got a big story tonight!" "About some hotel theme ideas!" "Yeah!" " Maybe we won't come back." " What?" " Skeeter?" " Sir Butt-Kiss." "Sir..." "Kendall." "I understand that you feel a need to prepare for our little... showdown." " Yeah." " That does not excuse you from maintenance responsibilities." " Oh, no." "Check." " Lights are out in the spa." " The south service elevator is slow." " Check." "Let me try that cheesecake." "Oh, another thing." "I heard about your big hero act with my girlfriend last night." " This paparazzi was..." " I know what it is you're trying to do, and it's not gonna work." "You have to find another way to cozy up to the old man because I'm here to tell you" "Violet Nottingham is not gonna date a gum-scraping handyman." "Hey, Kendall." "Two things." "First off, you got something right there." "Yeah, now, use your hands." "That's disturbing to see." "Good." "Secondly, when I get the job at the new hotel," "I was actually considering keeping you on, so watch your tone with me." "Your brief little trip to the land of make-believe is just about over, my friend." "OK?" "We all know your failed father ran this hotel into the ground, and thankfully, you will not get the chance to make the same mistake all over again." "May want to pick that up." " It's Duncan." " Lover, hello." "I'm looking for the hotel site." "I gave you the address, macho bunny." "The address you gave me is no good." "There's a school here." " Oh, what school?" " Webster Elementary School." " Oh, then you're in the right place." " Is that so?" " This school is being shut down." " Uh-huh." "The old man pulled a few strings at the board of education." " Really?" " We start demolition immediately." "That is very exciting news." "Oh, Pinky." "Hello!" "Skeeter?" "Hey, it's Wendy." " Hey, sissy." " Hey." "How's it going?" " Are the kids OK?" " Oh, yeah." "We're having a blast." "That was impressive, Bobbi, but Uncle Skeeter can jump over the couch the long way." " Skeeter, can I talk to them?" " No, I'm taking them camping." " No." " Have fun in Arizona." "Bye!" "Camping?" "No, Skeeter, they could get poison ivy!" " Let's go." "Quietly." " Where are we going?" " Someplace special, fools." " Whoo-hoo!" "Now march, march, march, march..." "# I don't know but it's been said" "# Bugsy's eyes pop out of his head" "March, march, march..." " Whoo-hoo!" " March, let's go." "Whoa!" "Cool!" "We're going to have ourselves a camp-out." "You guys, look what he's done!" "Isn't this cool?" " See?" "See how nice I am?" " Yeah." "Whoa, OK, just be careful around the fire." "Hey, Jill." "Shh." "Don't want everyone to hear we're here." "I heard about marshmallows." "Saw them in magazines." "I never imagined they would be this good." "Let's just hope your mother doesn't find out I gave you any." " I won't tell her." " I'm not talking about you." "She's the weak link." "I think I can let this one slide." "Ahh!" "The mermaid's being cool." "Look at that." " The what?" " The nothing." "You know, when we were younger and your mom and I were out on the roof, my dad would always tell us to look at the stars and see if you could make something out of them." "All right, like, uh..." "Right over there." "Right over there." "Look, look." "To me, that looks like a camel." "You see the humps?" "Huh?" "The tongue hanging out?" "Oh, yeah." "I see that." "Hey, look over there!" "It's a pyramid." "Yeah!" "Hey, good one, Patrick." "Look, right next to the moon." "Right, right beside it." "It looks exactly like Bugsy." "Oh, my God!" "Don't worry, Bugsy." "Your eyes are still bigger." "Uncle Skeeter?" "Yes, good-looking." "Do you think my father will come back?" "Um..." "Well, that's a tough one." "He must be going through some..." "mental malfunction to not want to be with you two guys every second of the day." "But, uh, I do know this." "You're always going to have your mother." "You're always gonna have this girl to hang out with." "And me, I ain't ever going anywhere." "OK?" "I'm like the stink on your feet." "I'll always be around." "OK." "You guys made me late." "I hope you're happy." "Well, thank you." "Have fun at night school." "See you tomorrow." "All right, we got rid of her, so let's get to business." "Put the s'mores down." "Story time." "All right, guys." "Tonight's story's gonna be extra special." "All right, guys." "Tonight's story's gonna be extra special." "It's called The Great Hotel Idea Story." "Yeah!" " What?" " Boring." "Come on, guys, I really need you to do this." "It's gonna help my life a lot." "Please?" "All right, you know what?" "We still got one more night." "Let's have a fun story." "How about some Evel Knievel stuff?" "Racing, jumping, flying..." "Or maybe something like romantic?" "I have a good idea." "Let's combine the action and the romance and make a romaction story." " Yeah." " Let us begin." "The greatest of all the heroes in ancient Greece was, of course, Skeetacus." "He was truly amazing yet totally underrated and had been ignored for years." "Finally Skeetacus had his chance to show his skills in the grand arena." "If he could impress the daughter of the emperor, he knew he would one day rule the land." " Skeetacus, Skeetacus!" " Go on, Skeetacus!" "That's pretty fancy chariot work." "For a peasant." "# I see London, I see France" "# I see my golden underpants" "Whoo!" "Oh, wh... what is he doing?" "Whoa!" "Bring on the elephants!" " Whoa." " Ooh." "All right." "You know how Hercules supposedly founded the Olympics?" "Well, Skeetacus invented the X Games." "He's never gonna make it!" "Now that's first class." "Hey!" " Bravo!" " Wow." "Can you dig it?" "Skeetacus!" "How we doing so far, huh?" " This is the best story yet." " Can we get to the romance now?" "Well, shorty, you tell me?" "Does Skeetacus get the girl he was after?" "In these stories, the hero always gets the fairest maiden in the land." "Yes!" "You said it!" "OK, so it's gonna happen!" "Uh, right." "So, what?" "They're thirsty?" "They go off for drinks?" "A little wine and cheese action?" "Yes?" "Yeah, they can go to an old tavern." "And guess who's there?" "Led Zeppelin." "Say Led Zeppelin, please." "No." "All the girls that were mean to Skeetacus growing up." "What?" "Nobody was mean to Skeetacus growing up." "He was like the coolest guy in school." "That's not what Mom said." "All right, everybody was mean to Skeetacus." "He had problems." "All right, tell your story." "Oh, my God..." "They see he's now with the fairest maiden in all the land, and they are really jealous." "So jealous they don't know what to do." "They just start nervously doing the hokey-pokey." "# Put your right hand in" "# You put your right hand out" "# You put your right hand in" "# And you shake it all about" "OK." "So then," "Skeetacus takes his date out to the beach." "All of a sudden, a big hairy guy washes up onshore, passed out." "Why a hairy guy?" "I don't get it." "Just 'cause." "He had something stuck in his throat, and he wasn't breathing." " Thanks." " He's OK." "And then it starts pouring, so they run into a magical cave." " Caves are nice." " And Abe Lincoln's there." "Abe Lincoln?" "What, is this a joke to you?" "What the heck's the matter with you?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "I, I didn't mean to yell." "The Abe Lincoln thing, that's, that's a good idea." "It's just that, uh..." "Does Skeetacus get a kiss?" "Don't you think he should?" "It's... been a long time for him." "His lips are very dry from not using them." "Bugsy, you with me?" "We'll see." " Hello?" " Mmm." "Hey, is this the fairest maiden in the land?" "Mr. Skeeter Bronson, is that you?" "Yes, it is." "Sorry about that Ferrari confusion the other night." "I'm here at the beach right now and I had a hunch you might be here too." "What do you say we get a little lunchsky?" "That sounds so delightful." "But I can't." "I'm afraid I'm on my way to Vegas for the day." "Vegas?" "Uh, no one talked about Vegas." "Don't tell Kendall." "He thinks I'm in the library." "Yeah, no." "But, but, uh, princess," "I, I really thought we were gonna hang out today." "Oh, well." "I will see you at Daddy's birthday party." "Bye, Skeeter." "Hmm." "So our date's gonna be tomorrow?" "I can live with that." "Hey!" "Look out!" "Look out!" "Sorry." "Are you OK?" "Hey!" "I'm so sorry!" "What is it about the cushion of protection you don't like?" "Aren't you supposed to be in school?" "I'm supposed to be looking for a job now, but for some reason I felt like coming to the beach today." "Huh." "Um, are you hungry?" "Yes, I'm always hungry when I'm in pain." "Good." "Because I'm buying." "I'll let you buy me lunch." "Somebody stole my wallet," " so how was I gonna pay?" " Of course you got your wallet stolen." " I don't know what that means." " You." "It's always something with you." " Huh?" " You're wearing my hat." " Gonna wear that all day?" " I'm not wearing nobody's hat." " I'm wearing your hat!" "Oh!" " I'll take it back." "Thanks." "This is perfect for your free lunch." "Oh, my gosh." "You guys, you guys, you guys." "Over there." "Is that..." "is that Skeeter Bronson?" " Stop it." " Oh, my God." " Oh, my God." " Skeeter." "Hey!" "Do you remember me?" "It's Donna Hynde from high school." "Yeah, I do." "Thought I was going to run into you shortly." "And here you are." "Yeah." "Wow, this is so..." "weird." "Uh..." "We were just planning our high school reunion." "We were totally just talking about you." "It's so weird." "I was just talking about you guys too." "Sure, he was." "Mind pretending to be my girlfriend for a second?" "Yeah, I don't feel comfortable doing that." "I'll, uh, convert my truck to biodiesel." " OK, I'll do it." " Ding-dong." "Uh, this is my girlfriend, guys." "This is Jill." "Hello." "She's your girlfriend?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yes, I am." " Right?" " Yup." "She thinks I'm..." "You want me to..." "Oh." "Uh... romantic." "She likes how romantic I can be." "And, uh, "great kisser," she likes to say." "Oh, yeah." "That's..." "a little too much." " Oh." "Sorry." " Wow, you are really pretty." " I mean, she's all right." " Thanks." "I've seen hotter, but she's pretty cool." "So super skinny." "Skinnier than you." "But..." "Yeah." "Whatever." "I feel really awful saying this out loud." "We were really terrible to Skeeter in high school." "Awful." "So mean." "My Skeeter?" " They were." " You had a hard time in high school?" "Look at you now." "You turned out pretty... cute." " Yeah!" " You know... the pimples went away, and, uh, these came to play." " You want to touch them?" " Oh, that's OK." " Later, later." " They're here for you." "Ding-dong." "# You put your right hand in" "# You put your right hand out" "# You put your right hand in" " # And you shake it all about" " OK." " I think we should leave." " Yes." "# And you turn yourself around" " All right." "Bye-bye." " # That's what it's all about #" "What's happening?" "Hey, so I spoke to Wendy." "She's excited to see the kids tomorrow." "This is the longest she's been away from them." "That's right." "This is my last night with the kids." "You know, they're gonna be devastated." "They worship you and those amazing bedtime stories you've been telling them." "Oh, well, they say all the good parts." "I promise." "Oh, my gosh." "Is he unconscious?" "Yeah, yeah." "Boom!" "Oh." "Thanks!" "Whoa!" " Yeah?" " Check out Mr. Smooth." "Well, you know, I do what I do." " Think we should get out of this rain?" " What rain?" "Oh, shoot!" "Where did that come from?" "I don't know!" "Isn't it amazing?" " Let's get out of this!" " Let's go!" "Let's get out!" "Move it!" "I can read the future." "Good God." "So..." "So..." "The big presentation's tomorrow, right?" "I know you're not nervous or anything, but, um... good luck on it anyway." " Thank you." " Yep." "Actually, you can come if you want." "It's like a party." "You know, Wendy's gonna be watching the kids, and we could have fun." "You can meet me there." "Yeah." "That would, uh..." "I could do that." "I could meet you, um after night school or something." "It's you?" "It's me what?" "You're the fairest maiden in the land?" ""Fair" as in "doesn't cheat at checkers"?" "No, fairest as in "beautifulest."" "Wait, wait." "Something weird's gonna happen." "Oh." "No, yeah, we don't..." "This is a mistake." "No, no, no, not between us." "I mean like, some..." "No!" "No, no!" "Oh, here comes Abe!" "No!" "Ah!" "Look." " Wow, a penny." " No, no, no." "This is the weird thing I was talking about." "Abe Lincoln." " Yeah." "Yeah." " No, no, no, no." "Abe's not gonna interrupt this time." "That was it." "It's supposed to end better than this." "Stick around." "I'm tellin' ya, you're gonna be missing out." "Nice imagination, Patrick." " Skeeter?" " Yo." "We've got a little bit of a shaving situation in there." "Oh, no, no, no." "I took the razor blades out." "Don't worry." "Their father ain't around," "I figured someone has to teach them how to shave." "I'm Princess Leia." "Uh-huh." "So, are you ready for the big showdown tomorrow night?" "Oh, yeah." "What I'm going to do is tell them a bedtime story tonight." "I'll have me win in the story." "Then I'll win for reals." "Do you dig?" "Oh, right." "Yeah, yeah, I understand." "So it's like, um, positive visualization." "I read a book on that once." "Read the back cover, at least." "I can't read." "Shut up, Bugsy!" "I've got opposable thumbs." "How do you feel about that?" "You children ready?" "Because here comes our last story." "The fate of the entire universe hung in the balance, as the Supreme Galactic Council met to determine who would control the new planet in the vast Nottinghamian star system." "Most in attendance expected Supreme Leader Barracto to rule in favor of General Kendallo, the evil governor of Hotelium." "But there was a wild card in the mix Skeeto Bronsonnian and his sidekick, Mickey Doo Quicky Doo." "They all watched with excitement." "Lieutenant Jilli and her two young cadets," "Aspenoff, and even the great Captain Bugzoid." "Hey, since it's outer space, Skeeto should talk like a goofy alien." "What?" "That's disgusting." "I'm not going to translate that." "Silence!" "The leader of the new planet shall be determined the old-fashioned way:" "A zero-gravity fight." "OK, now we get to the part the crowd came to see." "Skeeto defeating Kendallo, right?" "I think we need to see them battle first." "Kendallo makes the first move." " Skeeto!" " But the kids really want to see Skeeto kick his butt, right?" "Wet willy." "Boring!" "Uh, bring out the booger monster!" "Oh, I think I'm gonna be sick." "All right, have the booger monster smack Kendallo around." "No, I think he should kiss him." "Would you get to Skeeto winning already?" "OK." "Whoa!" "Arise, Skeeto, sharif of Nottinghamia." " Whoopee!" " Whoo!" "And that is the perfect ending to our last story." "Thank you, children." "Oh, that's not the ending." "Yeah." "That would be too obvious." "What do you mean?" "Somebody threw a fireball at Skeeto and Skeeto got incineratated." " The end." " "Incineratated"?" "You mean "incinerated"?" "No!" "No, no!" "He can't catch on fire." "Yeah." "I'm Captain Skeeto." "I'm on fire!" "No, no, no." "The story can't end like that." "What happened to a nice, happy ending?" "You said happy endings don't really happen." "We want our story to be real." "Oh, I was just saying that." "I was stupid." "No, no, no, no, no." "So, what?" "We're really going to have me on fire?" "Hey!" "Don't fall asleep, or the story will lock." "Stop it!" "Wake up!" "Wake up." "Wake up." "Wake up." "I can't believe Skeeter didn't tell you." "And I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the new hotel is going up right here where the, where the school is." "Well, I'm pretty sure..." "Excuse me." "Yeah." "Everything's ready for the presentation." " Good." " Ten-four, rubber duck." "Got it." "Great." "Fire]" "# Oh, uh" "# Fire" "I'm On Fire]" "# Oh, oh, oh I'm on fire" "Eternal Flame]" "# Is this burning" "# An et..." "Disco Inferno]" "# Burn, baby, burn" "OK." "The good news is, you're going to win the competition." "The bad news is, you're probably gonna catch on fire, but not if you take a few precautions." "Oven mitts, smoke alarm." "Yeah." ""Flame-resistant Christmas tree spray." Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, this will work." "Excuse me." "Sir?" "Those are actually for Christmas trees." "I know. 'Tis the season." " Ow!" "God!" " I'm so sorry." "It burns!" "Here, let me make it up to you." " Ow!" " It's for trees!" "It's for trees!" "You're right!" "That hurts!" "I'm sorry about that!" "Antibacterial wipes, anybody?" "Aloha." "Aloha." "Thank you so much." "Whoa!" "Steady." "Steady." " Kona coffee ice cream." " Yeah?" "What's the catch?" "You're gonna light it on fire?" "'Cause I'm on to you, honey." "No fire." "It would melt." "Just take the ice cream and a chill pill." " Ah!" " Boo!" " Skeeter." " Yes." " That wasn't very nice." " What wasn't?" " You pushed that man in the pool." " No, he jumped in." "Hey, you see Jill around?" "No, I ain't, I ain't seen Jill tonight, mate." "Ooh!" "I am cold." "I'll get you a towel." " I've got your towel." " Oh, blimey." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I love you." "You brought me a grilled cheese sandwich once." "Yeah." "I did, yes." "It was Monterey Jack." "It's a good cheese." "Ow!" "Skeeter, are you all right?" "A bee stung my tongue!" "The meeting for the exciting new hotel will take place in the living room." "So I don't think you're going to want to miss this." "No, it's swelling up!" " Can I sit there, please, mate?" " Yes, of course." " Don't touch me." " Sorry." "Before we begin, I would just like to say, personally, happy birthday." "Happy birthday." "Happy birthday, Daddy." "Thank you, Kendall." "Yes, now, as you can see," "I've invited some of the staff to sit in to see how your ideas would play with the "regular folk."" " No offense." " None taken, Barry." "None taken." "So, gentlemen, which of you would like to go first?" "Fair enough." "Mr. Nottingham, you were absolutely right when you said the rock and roll theme was old hat." "Gone." "Your insight, sir, has inspired me to, to dig deeper, to find the commonality at the heart of the American experience." "I speak, of course of the musical theater." "And, more specifically Broadway!" "Hit it." "# Oh, when you first pull up" "# To the grand front door" "# There isn't just a bellhop There's an overture" "# At the Nottingham Broadway Mega Resort" "# Oh there's a pool for the Sharks" "# A pool for the Jets" "# And you can bring Cats 'cause we take pets" "# At the Nottingham Broadway" "# Mega Resort #" "Original, impressive, well done." "Thank you, Kendall." "Thank you, sir." "Uh, sorry about that." "I was, uh, just resting my eyes." "Skeeter." "You're up." "Are you all right, Skeeter?" "A bee bit my tongue." "I'm sorry?" "A bee... stung my tongue." ""A bee stung my tongue."" "Oh, you understand him?" "Oh." "How did a bee sting your tongue?" "Uh..." "I was eating ice cream, and suddenly a bee..." "Uh, it was on an ice cream, and he licked it." "Hmm." "Can you translate Skeeter's presentation for us?" " Mmm!" " Uh..." "Yes!" "Yes, I can do that." "Thank you." "Ready?" " I'm ready." "OK." " Ready?" ""I spent the last week in the hotel, the hotel where I live..."" "With my niece and nephew." ""With my niece and my nephew."" ""To a kid, everything about a hotel is strange and wonderful."" ""Sleeping in a different bed."" ""Hanging out in the lobby."" ""Jumping up and down on the alligator."" ""Riding up and down in the elevator."" "Ah!" "Sorry." "Yeah, I see now that an alligator wouldn't be in that context." ""Some hotels try to make it seem as much like home as possible."" ""But they're missing the point."" ""If you wanted to stay in a place like home, then why not stay at home?"" ""Our guests should experience an escape from the everyday."" ""And that's what I'd like to capture in our new hotel."" ""What every kid knows and what every adult has forgotten."" ""Like my father said to me, your fun is only limited by your imagination."" " That was beautiful." " Yeah?" "All right." "Settle down." "Just the way it built." "And that's it?" "I'm sorry." "I don't understand it." "That... was... brilliant!" "Congratulations, my boy." "You've just won the keys to the kingdom." "Boogie, don't do that." "Germs." "Congratulations." "Great job." "Keep icing that tongue." " All right." " Congratulations, Skeeter." " Congratulations." "That was great." " Yeah?" "That's just terrific." "Congratulations, Skeeter." "All right, Kendall." "Yeah." "No hard feelings, pal." "Of course not." "You deserve it." "You're a better man than me." " You have an iron will." " Yeah." "That's what they say." "I would not have the guts to tear down the school my niece and nephew attend." "What?" "You do know that's the site for the new hotel?" "What are you talking about?" " Good show, old son." " Oh, sir." "That bee sting language was really working for you on a sympathetic level." "Good, I'm glad." "I wanted to talk to you about the location that we're building the hotel." "# Happy birthday to you" "# Happy birthday to you" "# Happy birthday" "Bronson, you're fired!" "Fired?" "Oh..." "That's how it connects." "Yes?" "Do you know where Jill Hastings' class is?" "It's right over there." "Why won't you answer my calls?" "Because I know it's you calling." "You got to believe me, Jill." "I had no idea..." "Don't destroy the sliver of respect I have for you by making lame excuses." "Just go away and stay away." "Uncle Skeeter?" "Do you want to incinertate our school 'cause we incinertated you in the story?" "No, I wouldn't do that." "We thought you were supposed to be the good guy." "So did I." ""Skeeto defeats Kendallo."" "Not really." " Yeah?" " Hey." "Oh, hey." "Welcome back." "So, you mad at me, too?" "Not as mad as Jill, but, uh, mad, yes." "I didn't know the new hotel was going up there." "I figured that." "Then what are you mad at?" "I gave the kids junk food?" "No, I figured you'd do that too." "I'm mad because you told my kids that in real life there are no happy endings." "Well, look around you, Wendy." "Do you see any happy endings here?" "I don't know." "You and Dad always had so much fun in this room." "For whatever reason, I didn't." "I was always the cynic, the, the sourpuss." "The black cloud." "The energy drainer." "The... dead fish." "Yes, all of those things." "But when I left Bobbi and Patrick with you," "I guess I just was hoping you'd rub off on them." "Get them to be lighter." "Have fun." "Enjoy themselves." "I thought Dad would like that." "Anyway, um, I got a job in Arizona." "Teaching, not principaling." "That's cool." "Yeah, well, maybe you can come visit when we get settled." "I know by then the kids will really want to see you." "All right." "Love you." "Love you." "And so Skeeter sat on his bed, filled with regret, wondering how to put the pieces of his life together after one magical week." " Great ending, huh?" " That was your ending, son?" "I thought this was just a sad part, and you were about to make it better." "What?" "How could I make it any better?" "Well, In the stories I told you, just when things looked bleakest, the hero would do something unexpected and courageous to beat the bad guy, save the day, and get the girl!" "Yeah." "How can I do that?" "It's your story, not mine." "But you better get moving." "Go get 'em, son." "Mr. Nottingham!" "Mr. Nottingham?" "I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment." "My name is Jill Hastings." "I'm a teacher at Webster Elementary." "Save our school!" "Save our school!" "Save our school!" "Save our school!" "Save our school!" "Save our school!" "My men are in position." "We are ready for the demolition." "Excellent." "Mr. Nottingham said he'd call if he had a problem getting the variance, so if we don't hear from him in the next 20 minutes," "I say we just... blow it all up." "Madam, the war is over." "You lost." "I'm sorry." "This isn't a war, Mr. Nottingham." "We're talking about children." "There must be other possible sites for your hotel complex that would not result in the displacement..." "Hey, hey!" "Barry, Jill." "How you doing?" "We're just wrapping up here." "Donna, you remember Jill, right?" "Of course!" "Oh, my God." "That jacket is so cute!" "Uh, thank you." "Bronson, what are you doing here?" "What am I doing here?" "Yeah, what am I doing here?" "Oh, uh, well, Mr. Bronson, as a concerned citizen, wanted to bring points to my attention before I made any hasty decisions about the property." "And they are points that are going to take me years to analyze." " Years?" " Years." "Bronson, are you playing hardball with me?" "I am, sir." "Because your application for variance has been..." "Denied." "Denied?" "Yes." "But the good news is" "Donna and I found you another piece of property right on the beach in Santa Monica that is uptight and out of sight." "Beachfront was my first choice, but it's not for sale." "It is now." "It is!" "Isn't that fabulous?" "Really?" "Friends?" "Oh, oh." "Yeah, well, germs." "Let's get past that." "Come here." "Come here." "No, no, no, no, no." "I'm touching you, and it's OK." "Look at that." "Aw..." "Ooh." "You're enjoying it." "Good." "Bring me closer." "That is so sweet." "And creepy." "Attention, please, ladies and gentlemen." "We are working with highly-sensitive, dangerous radio-controlled explosives." "Boo!" "And so to avoid any tragic misfires," "I would ask that you all turn off your cell phones." "All of you, please." "Turn your cell phones off." "Did you really just fix everything?" "Not everything." " Yes?" " We appear to have a situation." "I can't reach Kendall on his cell phone to halt the demolition which will begin in... 13 minutes." "This sign we made is awesome!" "We need a window where those construction guys can see it." "Then they'll change their minds." "Bobbi, I found one." "That's my Prius!" " OK." "Where's your truck?" " My truck?" "I had to give it back to the hotel." "What do you mean you gave it back to the hotel?" "Come here!" "Come here!" "Sorry!" "It's for a good cause!" "Have you ever driven a motorcycle?" "No!" "Oh, my God!" "No, no, no, no!" "Ooh!" "Yah!" "Booya!" "Have you seen Bobbi?" "Patrick?" "Bobbi!" "Patrick!" "What are you going to do?" "I'll take that back." "No fair!" "Hey, people, that's 60 seconds!" "Whoo-hoo!" "Wait!" "Wait a minute!" "I can't find my children!" " They might be in there!" " Nice try." "We cleared the building hours ago." "OK?" "Everything is fine." "No!" "Let me through!" "Hey, we got to check the rooms before we start making booms." "We've checked it already!" "Do it myself." "Uncle Skeeter!" "Hey!" "Get out of there!" " Five..." " No!" " Grab the bar!" " Four..." "Three..." "Two..." "One!" "The king has issued a proclamation." "The hotel moves away." "The school will stay." "Long live Webster Elementary!" " Mom!" " Mom!" "Bobbi!" "Patrick!" "Oh!" "Hey, hey, hey." "You guys underdemeciated me." "Come here!" "I just got to know you guys." "You think I'm gonna let you slip away from me now?" "I knew you were the good guy." "Yeah." "Uh, Patrick, hi." "I'm Trisha Sparks." "I just wanted you to know that..." "thanks for saving the school." "Western." "Go Western." " No thanks necessary, ma'am." " That's my boy." "That's my boy." "There must be some way for me to show my appreciation." "Oh-ho-ho!" "Get it." "Ooh!" "Hoo-hoo-hoo!" "Hey, isn't she a little old for you?" " She's hot." " So is she." "What do you think?" "If Master Stinky's getting a kiss, shouldn't, shouldn't I get a little mermaid action?" " Come on, already." " Ooh!" "Now look what my boy has done." "Turned his back on the world of luxury hotel management to start a small family business." "And bless his heart, he even named it after me." "Hey, speaking of s'mores, it looks like Bugsy ate them all." "We're completely out of marshmallows." "Oh, all right." "Let me handle that." "Room service!" " Yes, sir?" " Hi, Kendall." "Uh, Bugsy's out of marshmallows." "If you could just go get him some, that would be great." "Right on it, sir." "Anything else?" "Uh, not from you, Kendall, but, uh Housekeeping?" "Hey, Aspen." "Could you just make sure that Bugsy's cage is clean before he checks out in the morning?" "His marshmallows don't agree with him, there's gonna be a mess." "All right." "OK, bye, guys." "I think Bugsy is trying to tell us that our tale has reached its end." "But before I go, let me tell you what our heroes and villains are doing now." "My old friend, Barry Nottingham, overcame his fear of germs to such a degree that he decided to leave the hotel business and enter the field of medicine." "He is currently the school nurse at Webster Elementary." "Violet now runs the hotel empire, along with her husband, Mickey, the former room service waiter who is now the ninth-richest person in the world." "And Skeeter and Jill?" "After the double wedding of the century, they lived... well, happily ever after, running Marty's Motel and spending a lot of time with my grandkids, whose adventures have just begun." "Though, not everyone is quite so excited." "But that is a whole other story."

"I may have to take one of these little guys home." "Claire, did you ever find that Tupperware I lent you?" "Sweetie, for the hundredth time, I gave it back to you." "Remember?" "I remember you telling me a hundred times, yet my pea soup is in Baggies." "Did you check your car, in the, um" " Trunk." "Because that's where you found that thing... that you thought that you gave me long time ago." "The-The- Pizza cutter." " Good." "Give me another one." " Yes, I was wrong that time."

"Look at them." "They all think Lily's so great." "The novelty will wear off." "We used to be the cute ones." "Now she gets all the attention." "We need to take her down." "I should remember his name, too, because your mom and I got in a big fight over him." "She was using the convertible, and I told her," ""Put the top up because it's supposed to rain tonight... according to"" "P-P-P" " Partly McCloudy- whatever the hell his name is." "Anyway, she didn't." "Ruined the car." "Well, not to be the one that always comes to Mom's defense" "What?" "It was 20 years ago." "What, you think he's gonna ground you?" " It was you?" " Yes." "Yes, I left the top down, and I let Mom take the fall." " And then they got divorced." " Twelve years later." " I'm just saying." " Oh!" "You're ruining brunch." "Relax." "It was years ago." "There's a statute of limitation on this stuff." "In that case, I should probably let you know..." "I let the top down to let out the cigarette smoke." "Not mine." "Not mine."

"Remember that time we went golfing together, and you got a hole in one?" "Yeah?" "You never got a hole in one." "I got bored, and I kicked it in the hole." "This is fun." "Here's a corker." "They didn't used to label babies as carefully in hospitals." " So for two days" " Not now, Phil!" "What do you mean, you kicked the ball in the hole?" "What, was it on the edge?" "Yeah." "It was on the edge of that, uh- that sandy thing." "Gee, it's sure gonna be fun to face my friends today." "You don't have to tell them." "They call me Ace, Mitch."

"When she grabs one with her grubby little hands, off goes the trap." "Boom- big puddle of milk." "She'll get in so much trouble." "My mom hates messes." "I'm familiar with Claire." "Lock ... and loaded." "Mmm!" "These cookies are so good... and so easy to reach." "Lily!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God!" "Cam!" "What happened?" "Are you okay?" "That milk fell, and I must have slipped in it." "Did I leave that out again?" "I'm so sorry!" "Oh, my back." "Oh, my back." "Can I give you a Swedish massage, accent optional?" "Oh." "Oh, no." "I just need to lie down." "Come on." "Let's get you over to the sofa." "Oh!" "Do you think it would be offensive... if I ask our daughter to walk on my back?" "I'd say so." "I just offered to give you a massage." "Oh, no!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Oh!" "Let me buy Lily a new doll." "It's my fault Cam fell." "No, no need." "The My Sweet Companion store actually has a hospital with an on-call doctor." "I can go." "I'm taking the girls to the mall anyway." "Oh, that'd be great." "Yeah." "And don't worry." "She has medical insurance." "And I think we've met our deductible for the year." " So you should be good." " Yeah." "Do you know what a doll is in my village?" "An apple on a fork." "I never really got dolls." "Does that make me weird?" "it's on the list." "You're not weird."

" The sooner, the better." " You really think so?" "Yeah." "Why don't you go?" "Now." "Forge that friendship." "Okay, I go." "I have my gym bag in the car." "Feel better!" "Okay." "Thank you." "I'm just gonna lie here, some ice on my back." "I knew for a fact Claire never returned my Tupperware." "I just needed a few minutes alone to find it." "And when I did, I'd never have to hear them snicker again." ""Oh, silly Cam." Or "forgetful Cam."" "Because revenge is a dish best sewed cold." "And even better two days later out of a 24-ounce, microwave-friendly, burp-sealed Pak-N-Stor." "Oh, hey." "I thought you were going to the pharmacy." "I forgot my phone." "Oh." "Oh!" "I think I'm just upset about this stupid thing with my dad." "Sweetie, I'd love to hear about it... when you come back with my heating pad from the pharmacy." "Because I hurt my back, remember?" "I mean, did he overreact or what?" "It's just a game, right?" "Well, unless there's something more to it." "Maybe you should go talk to him." "Yeah." "Huh?" "I should've just kept my mouth shut." "I mean, it was such a great day." "After he thought he got that hole in one, he took us out to dinner." "He bought me my first beer." "Well, there you go." "He's probably hurt because you marred a very special father-son experience." " You think?" " You marred it." "But you can fix it." "He's down at the club right now." "Go, Mitchell!" "Un-mar that memory!" "You know what?" "I'm gonna do it." "Ow." "Sorry." "Don't worry." "I'll be back soon." "Okay." "I'll miss you." "Call first." "What were you thinking, saying that in front of him?" "I'm sorry." "It slipped out." "Besides, I figured he knew." "Mom knows." "Only because she dragged it out of Dylan." "And she promised not to tell dad until I left for college, which means he might have never found out." "Stop panicking." "We don't even know for sure he heard what I said." "Okay." "Beatrice is with the nurse." "They'll call us." "Shouldn't be too long." "We can just wait until she's married" " Until she's... ready." "Which, apparently, everyone is these days." "Funny, I used to think it'd be years until everyone was ready, but I guess I was wrong- wrong and naive." "Surprise!" "Oh!" "Gloria!" "My God." "I came to do yoga with you." "Yeah, I wasn't expecting to see you here." "A y, that's why I say "Surprise!"" "Yeah." "This is awful, because I was just thinking I might have to bail on yoga." "I have the worst headache all of a sudden." "But yoga is good for that, Claire." "For the meditation, for the" "Yeah, yeah." "it's just right now," "I wanna go lie down in a dark room and breathe." "That sounds like yoga." "L" " I realize that." "Yes." "But still, I-l should go." "Come on." "I'm not gonna do the class by myself." "Okay, so let's go and get massages." "Or there's a nail salon there." "I would love to do that some other time." "I really would." "But right now, I need to get home and lie down." " You understand, right?" " Of course." "Okay." "You go!" "And lie." "You're better!" "Oh!" "Barely." "Barely, yeah." " I was just getting something cold for my back." " Gravy?" "Well, if it can save your mom's turkey, it can save anything." "I thought you were going to see your friend Miranda." "This one chickened out." "For someone who says he likes girls so much, he sure is afraid of them." "It's a dance, Luke." "Chicken dance." "Well, since you're back, what if I give you 20 bucks... and YOU guys..." "go wash my car?" "Is that 20 bucks for each of us or both of us?" "Both." "That's what I thought." "Uh-oh, check it out." "Ace is drooling over his plaque again." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I didn't smell you idiots come in." "Listen, I've been thinking, maybe it's time we retire the name "Ace."" "You mean the name you had printed on your golf cap?" " And his robe." " You know, guys, about that" "Remember how mad he got when I yanked that cap off his head and put it on?" ""You got to earn that!"" "I'm just glad one of those cheap hair plugs didn't get caught in it." "For the millionth time, they're not plugs." "So what, your hair just came back when you turned 50?" "Unlike your wife." "Hey, that was a blessing." "Otherwise, I wouldn't be taking out Natalie Hobbs tonight." "Taking her out or doing her taxes?" "I'm trying to find a way to come clean about the hole in one, when it occurs to me" "Why?" "One idiot lies about his sex life." "The other dumbbell has a Ferrari "in the shop" for years." "And moron number three is a Hollywood stunt car driver... who gets sick when he rides backwards in the golf cart." "So, you ladies ready to tee off or what?" "Just gotta settle up our tab." " I took care of it." " You said you were going to the restroom." "Ah!" "Can't trust a word out of this guy's mouth." "Twenty years we've been falling for this." "I-I'm sorry to interrupt, but my dad never lied to you guys." "Mitchell." "No, he didn't even know until today... that he never made the hole in one." "Okay." "But the fact that he couldn't live with himself when he found out... and he raced down here to confess to you, that just shows the kind of man he is." "He is a "hole in one" kind of man." "You never got a hole in one?" "I didn't tell them." "So this is the gang." "Introduce me." "Ah!" "Score!" "It's not like me and Miranda are perfectly suited." "For one thing, she likes bad boys." "That's just not me." "I'm gonna turn on some music." "I'm sorry." "I can't unlearn how to treat a lady." "But where does that leave me- waiting till I'm 40, when she looks me up on Facebook after her failed first marriage?" "Okay." "What are you doing?" "I'm sick of hearing you whine about Miranda!" "It's time to make her notice you!" "But we can't!" "We got a full tank of gas, and she's right down the block." "Now buckle up." "Are you crazy?" "You tell me." "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Lily, what is this?" "Wouldn't you rather have a chemistry set or some flash cards?" "She's pretty." "No." "No, she's dirty." "Look." "Look at the dirt." "Let me wipe her off." "Fix that." "Her braid's coming loose." "Come here." "Fix that right up." "So I've completed the examination." "She did really well." "What's the prognosis?" "We can fix most of her arm, but she'll never regain full mobility in her shoulder joint, because they don't make that part anymore." "Well, that's pretty good, right?" "I mean, she'll look exactly the same." "No one will know." "I'll know." "Uh" "I'm just saying I liked her the way she was." "She was such a sweet little doll." "I'm sorry, Doc." "I'm having trouble adjusting to all this." "Uh, Dad, she's still a sweet little doll." "No, she's broken." "No, she's just changed a little." "It happens." "Dolls grow up." "Well, actually" "Uh, could you- Yeah." "Sure." "I actually have to go give a little girl some pretty bad news." "So, Haley." "The thing is" "Fact" " Haley's almost 18." "Fact" " I am the cool dad." "Haley, I understand that sex is a part of life." "I can't say that I'm thrilled to hear this, but I'm sure you're being safe, and I hope that you'll feel free to talk to me about this anytime." "We should" " We should probably get Beatrice, like, a cast or something." "We can all sign it." "Yeah?" "Uh, yeah." "Sure." "Fact" " I blew it." "This repair's probably gonna take a little while." "Why don't you run up to the food court and grab us a table?" "I'll get Alex and Lily." "Okay." "Do you want the counter or a booth?" "Whatever seems right to you." "I trust you." "I have a cool dad." "Okay." "Your turn." "Uh-uh!" "No way!" "Do you want to get her attention or not?" "# Yeah #" "# Ah!" "Ah!" "#" "# Uh!" "#" "# Yeah Uh!" "Uh!" "Uh!"

"Were you going back to the yoga class without me?" "No, that is not why I came back." "I don't understand you." "Why you don't want to spend time with me?" "Everybody wants to spend time with me." "Even the lady that did my nails wants to take me to Pilates." "I didn't come back here to do yoga." "I don't do yoga." "it's a cover, okay?" "Look." "I know that, from the outside, it seems like I have everything together." "No, not really." "My point is that my life can be very stressful." "And I have found a way to cope with that stress."

"You live with two adults." "You have no idea" " No,no,no." "It's so sad that you come here so often... and that's the best that you can shoot." "Oh!" "And that's with pretty nails."

"We had a steak dinner, you gave me my first beer, and,uh, it was one of the greatest days we ever spent together." "And it wasn't about some meaningless hole in one." "It was about us." "No." "It was about a hole in one." "Yes." "Yes." "A-A little bit, maybe." "But mostly, it was about how we bonded." "I thought I hit a ball straight from a tee... really, really far into a tiny hole." "Okay." "God, when will I learn?" "And it wasn't your first beer anyway." "Yes, it was, Dad, but I wouldn't expect you to remember." "It was your 14th birthday." "You asked me for a sip of mine." "Your mom yelled at you in front of all your friends, said you were just a baby." "You ran outside in tears, which, unfortunately, supported your mom's argument." "Anyway, I came out with a couple of beers." "We drank 'em on the porch, watching the storm clouds coming in." "I had completely forgotten about that." "You know, you're- you're unbelievable." "Just when I peg you as" "Storm Stevens!" "That's it!" "Give me something." "I'm gonna write it right here." "Before I forget. "Storm Stevens." Stevens." "What were we just talking about, just now?" "Oh." "No?" "Mm-mmm." "Come on, Lily." "Let's see if Beatrice is ready." "Hey, Dad." "I know I'm way too old for this, but do you think I could get this doll?" "Her name's Genevieve, and she's developing a vaccine for" "Yes, you can get the doll." "You can get as many dolls as you want." "It's $200." "Or one is fine." "I know you're here." "Hello." "I have a bad feeling about this." "What if one of your neighbors saw us?" "Maybe we should just confess." "We will... in 20 years." "Huh?" "You heard Grandpa." "There's a statute of limitations, which is a good thing, because we still need to take Lily down." "Nah, let her be the cute one." "We don't need that anymore." "We're bad boys now." "Yeah." "I like that." "Bad boys." "Your mom!" "Oh, my God." "Cam!" "Um, this had a lid." "I'll see you guys later." "I'm going to Abby's." "Bye, honey." "Have fun." "Have fun, you." "With Abby." "We've confirmed Abby's a real person and a female?" "Yes, sweetie." "We met her." "Honey, we can't treat Haley differently... just because we both know what we know about her." "I know." "I just need time." "So Dylan told you?" "Why didn't he tell me?" "He and I used to share everything." "You're upset about a lot of things." "Okay, I won't obsess over it." "I just wanna ask you one thing." "Hmm?" "How long have you known?" "Three months." "So this giant thing happened to our firstborn, and you kept me in the dark about it for three whole months?" "I'm sorry." "I just wasn't sure how you'd" " Okay." "Thank you." "English" " US" " PSDH"

"Come on, are we fucking done here?" "Boys, we're straight through to New York, so anyone needs a piss, you take it now." "No?" "Then let's go." "Son of a bitch." "Hold up." "Slow down." "He's still breathing." "Fuck him." "Get him off the road." "Get 'em up!" "Up!" " Get your fucking hands in the air." " Drop the heaters." "You stupid fuck." "Drop it, I said!" "You, too, fat boy." "Drop it!" "Drop your weapon." "You know whose fucking load this is?" "It's pretty fucking obvious now, ain't it?"

"And on the eve of this momentous occasion, it is my pleasure to introduce Atlantic City's esteemed treasurer, the honorable Enoch Thompson." "Mrs. McGarry, thank you for that stirring poem." "Will you send me a copy?" "What a nice man." "Ladies." "Years ago, there was a young boy who lived in this very city." "The winter of '88, some of you remember, a blizzard of biblical proportions." "The family was snowbound, freezing, without food or heat." "The father vanished, laid to waste by alcohol." "And so it was left to this boy, this little man of tender years, to fend for himself and his family." "Off in the cold he went, worn shoes wrapped in rags, newspaper lining his thin wool coat, as he trudged chest-deep in snow to the rail yard, foraging on hands and bloody knees for scraps of coal," "hoping for some potatoes spilled from a ruptured sack." "Finding none, he took a broom handle and, in desperation, killed his family's dinner:" "Three wharf rats hiding in the hold of a ship." "Terrible, yes." "But the family survived." "And the little boy?" "Well, the little boy speaks to you tonight from this very podium." "Prohibition means progress." "And never again will families be robbed of their fathers, held hostage by alcohol." "How proud I am to live in a nation which," "God willing, this year, will finally give its women the right to vote." "Ladies, I regret to inform you that I have been called away on urgent county business and therefore will be unable to stay for the potluck." "In closing, however, let me say this:" "Without the continued support of good, decent women like you, men like me would be nowhere." "Thank you and God bless." "In the trenches once we ate dog meat, but rats?" "First rule of politics, kiddo:" "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." "Come on in, boys!" "Don't be shy." "Meet the gals who put the "ooh" in ooh-la-la." "Step right up, friends." "What you waiting for?" "Lovely ladies direct from Paris, France." "Young ladies, I know there are attractions that your parents would like to take you to, but this is not one of them." "Ladies, take them away, yes." "They should have been gone a long time ago." "Don't be afraid, fellas." "They won't bite." " Hey, Nucky, how you doing?" " Not as good as you, Wendell." " Good evening, Nucky." " Hey, how are you?" " How are you, Nucky?" " Nice to see you." "Say it ain't so, Joe." " To the end of the world!" " To the end of the world!" "All right, take it easy, fellas." "I got it!" "I got it!" "Over here." "Hey, you got some rye?" "I want some gin, gin!" "Thanks, ace." " Is my brother here?" " Upstairs." "They all are." "I wanted to arrest him, but he had 24 hours left." "I couldn't." "Boys, boys, boys." "Mr. Mayor, friends, fellow members of the city council, as you know, in less than two hours, liquor will be declared illegal by decree of the distinguished gentlemen of our nation's Congress."

"Number one, we got a product a fella's gotta have." "Yeah." "Even better is that we got a product he ain't allowed to have." "They might as well outlaw smoking." "A man's on holiday, believe me, he wants a drink, he'll pay the price for it." " That's right." " How about the law?" "The law?" "I am the law, Georgie boy." "Or are you so fucking soused you thought I'm Lillian Gish, huh?" "This ain't a flower." "It's not a flower." "I'm gonna kick him out of here right now." "You're out of here." " The Feds!"

"Will you look at this shit?" "James." "No, put it in your mouth." "Dempsey, "Champ was no draft dodger."" "He explains his status during war." " So what did he say?" " I don't know." "He supported his mother." " It's a bunch of baloney." " They couldn't write it if it wasn't true." "Wise up, Ange." "It's a bill of goods." "You think a fella would give up that type of opportunity to go fight for his country?" "What?" "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Princeton wasn't exactly the Heavyweight Championship, Angela." "Have you given it any more thought?" "I'd be 25 by the time I graduated, almost 26." "I could go to work." "Doing what?" "Painting pictures?" "And what about Skeezix here?" " Where are you going?" " Hey, sit down, eat your food." "No, no." "Come on." "You gotta eat this mush." " Get up." "Come on." "What about you, right?" " Yeah." "Drink your milk." "One more bite." "Well, you know, you could learn a lot working for Ryan, maybe." " Are the eggs ready yet?" " Hold your horses!" "Your mother's screwy if she thinks I'm gonna work for a sap like Ryan."

"You must please come this way." "Stephen, I am so sorry I'm late." "Tell Nucky I ain't got all day." "Mrs. Schroeder to see you." "Please have a seat." "May I offer you tea?" " Thank you, I'm fine." " No, it's no trouble." " Have you eaten?" " Thank you, no." "I mean, I have, yes." "I've eaten, but I..." "Okay, relax." "Please." " No more appointments." " Ja." "Is that a bit of the old country I hear in your voice?" " My husband says I sound like an immigrant." " Ah." "But we're all immigrants, are we not?" "Tell me how I can help you." "First of all, sir, I would never..." "But when I heard you speak, I..." "There, there now." "My apologies." "My husband, he has a weakness for the dice games." "He's a drinker as well, on occasion." "Is this your first child?" "It's our third." "We've a boy and a girl." "Do you have children of your own, Mr. Thompson?" "I'm sorry." " That was quite forward." " Not at all." "I do not." "I lost my wife to consumption." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "She was very pretty." "She was." "Hey, Nucky?" " I'm gonna go now." " Um, I'm in a meeting." "No, please, I..." "No, Mrs. Schroeder, Lucy Danziger." "Hello." "Hi." "So, am I gonna see you later?" "I'll get in touch." " I'm sorry." "I..." " No." " She's my..." " It's..." "Does your husband work?" "He's a baker's helper." "But till tourist season, and with winter, and the children without boots, I..." "Your story moved me so." "If you could see your way to give him a job, sir." "As you say, until tourist season." "However..." " This should see you through winter." " I'm not here looking for charity." "I insist." "I don't know what to say, how to thank you." "I'd be honored to name my child after you." "Enoch?" "You couldn't possibly be so cruel." "Jimmy?" " Will you see that Mrs. Schroeder gets home?" " I'm fine to walk, please." "No, no, no, you are in no condition." " Thank you, Mr. Thompson." " Sure." "Pardon me." "Your friends from Chicago checked in." "The New York gangs, too." " All right, we're all set for tonight then?" " 8:00, the Traymore." " Good." " Say, Nuck, I was hoping to bend your ear..." "Drop her off, then meet me at the pier later." " It's best you leave me here." " What was that?" " Please could you leave me here?" " Right here?" " Okay." " Thank you." " May I help you inside?" " I'm fine." " You sure?" " Thank you." " Where you been?" " I was..." "Get in the house." "Who the hell is that?" "Gather around and behold, ladies and gentlemen, the catch of the day!" "For Neptune yields the treasures from his watery kingdom." "Sea bass, eel, blue crabs, king mackerel and flounder..." "Nucky." "Bill McCoy, as I live and breathe." " You been up north lately?" " Funny you should ask." "I just got back." "A little souvenir shopping." "There are things you just can't get back home anymore." "A load's coming in tomorrow night." "Canadian Club, straight from the distillery." "Five hundred crates at 100 clams per." " That's a nice even number." " It keeps the arithmetic easy." "I am a simple fisherman, after all." "Not anymore, you're not." ""And he took the loaves and fishes, looked at his disciples and said," ""'Fuck it." "We're going into the whiskey business."'" "How much for the whole kaboodle?" "It's a big city, Billy boy." "A lot of thirsty people." "Forty grand." "Thirty-five and we'll do it once a week." "What does that come to a crate?" "A fuck of a lot more than you're paying for it, that's for sure." "Do we have a deal or no?" "Dirty chiseler." "You'll hear from my brother about the particulates." "Where are you going?" "I thought we were having a drink." "I already got what I wanted." "What the fuck would we talk about?" " Say, Nucky, about that thing." " What thing?" " The thing I wanted to talk to you about." " Wait, I gotta get cigarettes." "Nucky Thompson is here." "Mr. Thompson, I am honored." "He was a good man." "My deepest condolences." "I hadn't even realized you knew my husband." "Oh, of course." "He was a fine fellow." "Just last month we spoke." "But the laryngectomy." "Fellas, meet the missus." "She ain't much on personality, but she don't talk back none neither." "What's the matter, kid?" "Never seen a stiff before?" "I've seen a couple." "I'm short on time, Mickey." "What'd you want to show me?" "So much for the niceties." " My factory, gentlemen." " Quite an operation." "Ten shiners, two shifts, 24 hours a day." "Gotta figure we're putting out close to 2,000 crates a week." "And that's just for starters." " None of this is legit?" " Not once they get through with it." "One part real, eight parts water." "You heat it up, let it cool, then add your alcohol to bring up your proof." "Where do you get your alcohol?" "Potatoes." "You let 'em ferment." "It smells rough, but compared to a stiff, it's fucking lilacs." "After you add the alcohol, you throw in your caramel coloring, your oil of rye, bourbon, depending on what you want." "You can make Scotch, too?" "Naturally." "You just gotta add some carbonyl though for the bead." "What's that?" "The bubbles." "Higher the proof, more bead it's supposed to have." "Go on, bottoms up." " What the fuck's in this shit?" " Carbonyl, like I said." "Formaldehyde." "Formaldehyde, huh?" "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?" "Cocksucker!" "What the hell's wrong with you?" "Out!" "Now!" "Beat it." "Jimmy, out!" "Stupid bohunk." "It was just a gag, okay?" " Yeah, you're a real pistol." " Enough with the bohunk cracks." " My name's Doyle now." " What?" "I changed it." "I ain't Mickey Cusick no more." " Who's after you?" " Nobody." "Then why Doyle?" "It sounds better, is all." ""A rose by any other name."" " What's that supposed to mean?" " Read a fucking book." " What are you, off your nut?" " Well, you didn't drink that piss, I did." " You're still breathing, aren't you?" " Yeah, so is he." "That's the problem." "He's still breathing." "He's part of my operation, kid." "You don't need him." "What would you know about it?" "What's with you?" "And don't tell me it's your goddamn stomach." "You want to know what's with me?" "Honestly?" " Yeah." " Paddy Ryan." "You really expect me to go work for that mick?" "You'd rather be my driver?" "Of course not, Nuck." "It's just, you make Ryan clerk?" "I can run rings around that chump." "Oh, listen to Bonnie Prince Charlie." "Come on, Nuck, you were assistant sheriff when you were my age." "And for eight years prior, I spent night and day kissing the Commodore's ass." "I've been kissing your ass since I was 12!" "And what about the last three years?" "I wanted to serve my country." "And nearly get yourself killed." "Did it ever occur how your girl might feel about that?" "Your little boy?" "Look, if that was my fate, then so be it." "And he wants to be in politics." "You know who dies for their country, kid?" "Fucking rubes, that's who." "Yeah, well, I'm home now, Nuck." "So how about it?" "Had you stayed in school, it'd have been you in that job, not Ryan." "All right, so you're punishing me." "Is that it?" "You're punishing me." "I'm telling you to slow down, get the lay of the land." "You've been home now what?" "A month?" "Nucky, I'm not the same kid that left." "I've seen things." "I've done things." "Well, how we gonna keep you down on the farm?" " I'm serious." " I know." "All right, look, that's 1,000 bucks." " Go buy yourself a decent suit..." " I don't want your money!" "A fella hands you a grand, you tell him to fuck himself?" "You're a pip, kid, I gotta say." "Nucky, all I want is an opportunity." "This is America, ain't it?" "Who the fuck's stopping you?" "Come on, let's go." "One for you." "Two!" " And two." " Two pile of soup!" "And one for you." "The automobile." "Tell me again how you came to find yourself getting chauffeured around town." "I told you." "I was walking past the church when I felt faint." "Mr. Thompson saw me and was kind enough to have his driver see me home." "Come here." "You are a little warm." "You're feeling better now though, are you?" "I am." "And this?" "How did this find its way under the mattress?" " Mommy." " That money belongs to the children." "Like fuck it does!" "Where'd you get it?" "Huh?" "Never you mind where I got it." "By whoring yourself out?" "You whore!" " You give me that money." " No, you sit down or you'll get the belt!" "Eat your food!" "I want Mommy!" "Eat your food." "Ah." "Thank you." "This is them." "Gentlemen." "Enoch Thompson." "Okay." " Big Jim Colosimo." " Mr. Thompson." " Nice to see you." "Come on in." " Pleasure to meet you." "Now, if you come back here in July, at the pool they have the sea nymph festival." " Seamen festival?" " You should come for that." " Got them." " Like mermaids." "January 16th, 8:03 p.m." "Johnny Torrio meeting with Nucky Thompson." " Which one's Torrio?" " The gray tweed." "Gray tweed." "We got a bead on Rothstein." "He just came in with Luciano." "This other fellow is Big Jim Colosimo." " Come again?" " In the homburg." " The Hamburg?" " The homburg." "Never mind." "He took it off." " Who's this fella now?" " Who?" "The guy in the brown suit." "That's the concierge." " It's "Sierge"?" " The manager." "He works here." "So the red tie, that's Big Jim?" "Does that man look big to you?" "How's that?" "It's Arnold Rothstein." "So it's not Colosimo?" " Arnold Rothstein." " And Nucky Luciano." " Lucky!" " Come again?" "Lucky Luciano, Nucky Thompson." "So who's Colosimo?" "Fella goes to divorce court." "The judge says, "I've decided to give your wife $25 a week."" "Fella says, "That's mighty swell of you, Judge." ""I'll try to send her a few clams myself now and again."" " Clams?" " Money." "Clams, money, capito?" " Money." " Mmm." "You should put in some lobster too, no?" "No!" "No, no, no." "None for me." "You're a law-abiding citizen, are you?" "Teetotaler." "Never touch it." " He's the lightweight." " I like to stay sharp at the tables." "Yeah, sharp." "The way he wins, he wants to be sharp." "Last year he clear $2 million just off the World Series alone." "And they call that one Lucky." "What do you think I'm sitting next to him for?" "Hey, boy, do you have any Caruso records?" " Enrico Caruso?" " That's fine." " Caruso, no?" " Go find some and play it." "Tell the boys." "It's like funeral music here." "How's the chow, fellas?" "Fine." "Delicious." "She's the best." " You should come to my restaurant sometime." " Sure." "I treat you nice." "If you like to eat, you eat." "If you don't like to eat..." "Hmm?" "Who doesn't like to eat?" "Chicago's a fine town." "It ain't New York, that's for sure." "New York ain't New York now, with Prohibition." "It will be if I have something to say about it." "Ain't that the reason we're all here tonight?" "As you know, in light of recent developments," "I thought it might be of mutual benefit for you boys to meet." "All the way from Chi-town out of the goodness of his heart." "When I say mutual benefit, I mean mine, too." "I didn't come here for the pasta asciutta." "I'll be expecting a matchmaking fee." "Of course." "See, in addition to their other enterprises, Messrs Rothstein and Luciano have significant interests in the cabaret business back in New York." "And a man such as yourself, with both political influence as well as a passing acquaintance with the seafaring types of the Atlantic Ocean..." "Johnny, talk English." "Questo big business." "So what's the difference?" "Go ahead, do what you gonna do." "Could you fix us up or no?" "We'll take alls we can get, up to 2,000 crates a month." "For starters." "You young fellas, no appreciation for the art of conversation." "All right, yeah." "I gotta piss." "I apologize." "Ambition can be read as impatience sometimes." " Arrogance, too." " Yeah." "I have a friend, a judge." "His daughter's wedding is in a week." "I'd like to be able to accommodate him and their 700 guests." " You haven't stockpiled?" " Mmm-mmm." "All sold already." "I'm coming up short." "Well, I have a load coming in tomorrow." "Five hundred crates, Canadian Club." "Originally I'd planned to keep it, but seeing how I'd like to start our relationship off on the right foot," " how about I let you have it?" " How much?" "Sixty grand for the entire load." "But you use your own men for the pickup." "Send me over the details." "We'll settle up in cash tomorrow." "All right." "All right, gentlemen." "Cheers." "I was in Chicago once." " Good steaks." " It's all right." "A little cold, but so is Brooklyn." "You get used to it, I guess." "Summer of '17, I passed through there on my way to Camp Grant." "Doughboy, huh?" "Mmm." "Me, too." "The Lost Battalion." "No kidding." "How about you?" "You see any action?" "Little bit." "Caught some shrapnel from a Jerry's grenade." " Spent eight months in the hospital." " Jesus." "Say, let me ask you something." "A guy like Rothstein, what's a fellow like that worth?" "Him?" "Ten million at least." " On the level?" " He's as big as they come." "Christ, Luciano's sitting on a half a million." "I know that for a fact." "Got a spread on Park Avenue." "You make that much running card games?" "Cards, hijacking." "He's a fucking dope peddler, too." "Did six months for pushing heroin a couple years back." "But he only did six months?" "Yeah, he bought a judge." "Oh, right." "Jeez, half a million dollars." "Can you imagine that?" "How old is..." "What is he, like our age?" "22, 23 maybe." "You guys gonna get into the liquor business, too?" "Colosimo says no." "Too much heat from the law." "Says there's enough money in the whorehouses." "But you don't agree?" "I'm Johnny's muscle." "Who gives a fuck what I think?" "Yeah." "If you get in trouble, don't call me." "You call my brother." "And so what you want to do, just ask for Lolly." "He'll be expecting you." "I'd wish you luck, but it sounds like you don't need it." "We make our own luck." "True enough." " Nice talking to you." " You, too." " Jimmy Darmody." " AI Capone." "All right, Al." "Mr. Thompson, thank you very, very much." "The lobster was very good." "You paid." "I'm a happy man." "Next time we come to your place, you pay for it." " Any time." " You kick in the clams." " Ah!" " A joke, yeah." " Thanks again." "Pleasure." " You come to Chicago, I fix you up." "All right." "Jimmy, stop with the clams." "It's a joke." "Americans, they like to make a joke." " Hey, slow down, champ." " You could buy me taffy." "No taffy." "He looks like Fatty Arbuckle Jr." " Hey..." " No, no, no, sweetie, sweetie." " This way, sweetie." " Come here." " This way." " Come here, Tommy." " Stay with Daddy." " Come here." "Maybe we should get a photo." "No, I don't feel like it today." "James Darmody?" "Ma'am." "That's right." "Special Agent Van Alden, Bureau of Internal Revenue." " Can I help you?" " Perhaps." " Will you come with me?" " Jimmy." "It's okay, dear." "Go on home." "What's this about?" "It's fine." "I'll see you at home." "Thank you, ma'am." "Distinguished Service Cross," "Battle of Saint..." "How do you say this?" "Mihiel." "Seems to me you're a man on the come." "I'm doing all right." "College man, too." "Princeton." "For a while." "Am I in trouble or something?" "Guilty conscience?" "You mind telling me what a go-getter like you is doing working for a crook like Thompson?" "It's not like that." "Mr. Thompson is a pillar of our community." "Tell it to Sweeney." "We know all about him and his little fiefdom." " The election rigging, the graft..." " None of which we're interested in." " What are you interested in?" " Liquor." "Its illegal importation and manufacture." "How would you like to come work for the Bureau?" "I got a bum leg." "Suppose I say you don't?" "You got a wife, young son at home." "It's an honorable profession, James, plenty of room for advancement." "It's a godly pursuit." "Could I have one of those cigarettes?" "Give him a light." "Sure." "You do go to church, don't you, Mr. Darmody?" "Yeah, sure." "Well, then you know, right?" "Yeah, what?" "Know what?" " Giddy up, cowboy." " Lucy, stop..." "Stop saying that." "Come on, daddy." " Giddy up, cowboy." " Lucy, stop!" " What?" " With the cowboy shit." " It's distracting." " Okay, Nucky, come on." "Yeah." "Nucky!" "What?" "I heard screaming." "Are you all right?" "May I enter?" " No!" "What do you want?" " Steinman's on the wire." "Christ!" " What?" " All right." "He is always interrupting us!" "Jeez Louise." "What?" "Screaming?" "We were fucking, Eddie!" "Fucking." " Hello?" " It's Lolly." "Hey, listen, your friend from New York, the bankroll?" " He just took us for 90 grand." " What?" "Sixteen hours and he wants to keep going." "We ain't that flush right now, Nuck." "All right, I'll be right there." " Eddie!" " Ja?" "Tell Jimmy to bring the car around." "Jimmy called to be out sick." "Son of a bitch." " Lucy, open the door." " No!" "Come on, baby." "I gotta get dressed." "No fucking way!" "Go spend time with Eddie." "He's obviously more important than me." "I..." "No, he's not more important than you." "But Arnold Rothstein and $90,000 is more important!" " Open the goddamn door!" " No!" "Why don't you go hang out with him?" "Yeah, you do it." "My back." "Get in there." "Yeah, yeah!" "Please, Lucy, it's very important for Eddie to come in." " Open the..." " Open the fucking door!" " Where is he?" " Eating with the Italian fellow." "I didn't want to say nothing, but this Rothstein's a cheater." "Honestly, if he wasn't who he is, they'd have found him in a fucking alley." " Well, he is who he is." " That's why I called." "You fellows ever hear of sleep?" "Who can sleep with all this excitement?" "I heard you had a lucky streak." "Luck had nothing to do with it." "I'm a skilled player is what he means." "That's what I hear." "So?" "What's all this about cutting me off?" "It's not that." "It's a small house." "We just can't handle your kind of action right now." "Your credit's good with me." "Why don't we get to know each other better?" "I don't think I like what I'm hearing." "Maybe you shouldn't be listening to the grown-ups' conversations." " How is that?" " Charlie, sit down." "Charlie, Charlie." "As of now, you owe me 93 grand." "Less 60 for tonight's load, knocks it to 33." "So you could keep playing, then." "I don't gamble where I don't feel welcome." "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Cash him out." "Thompson, right?" "Heard you're familiar with my wife." " Pardon?" " My wife." "Margaret." "You drove her home." "Where'd you get that money?" "What business is that of yours?" "That money belongs to your wife." "So it was you who give it to her." "Here, you prick." "I'm winning anyway." "Toss him the fuck out." "All right, we went over the rules in the locker room." "I want a good, clean fight." "No holding, no low blows, break when I tell you." "Now touch gloves and come out fighting." "Hit him!" "Fucking hit him." "Keep your right up." "Hook, jab, jab, jab." "If I was you I'd bet on the little guy." " What are you doing here?" " I'm a fight fan." "What else?" "So how much you know about this haul that's coming in tonight for Rothstein?" "Tell ya, for a fellow good-looking as me, I sure do get the homely girls." "I don't mind the homely ones, especially when they're dumb." "I love the dumb ones." "My girl is so dumb, she thought that daylight savings was a bank." "My girl is so dumb, she thinks Long Island Sound makes a noise." "It's true!" "Thank you, thank you." "That worked better than this afternoon." "You're a wonderful crowd." "My girl is so, so dumb, she thought that iceberg was a Yiddish name." "My girl is so dumb, she tried to buy plum pudding from a plumber." " All right, let's go." " No, it's true." "Had him running all over town." "Something else about my girl." "She was so dumb, they finally had to burn down the schoolhouse to get her out of the second grade." "They let her pose for the class photo, but, oh, boy, was she homely." "You've heard of crocodile shoes?" "Well, she had a pair." "With a complexion to match!" "I took her to visit the zoo." "Why, the zookeeper thanked me for bringing her back." "Lovely family, though." "Very nice girl." "Lovely family." "Her poor father died of throat trouble." "They hung him." "Her poor brother, lovely chap, but he's gone, too." "With good behavior he should be back in about 10 years." "He used to work in a bank, but no matter how much the boss likes you, you can't work in a bank and take home samples." "Oh, no!" "Pretty fucking obvious now, ain't it?" " Okay!" " Get their guns." "You're fucking dead." "You're fucking as good as dead!" " All of youse!" " Shut your yap." "Easy, easy, don't get rattled." "What's that?" "What?" "That." "The fucking wind." "Relax." "The woods, get him, get him!" "Come here, you son of a bitch!" "What the..." "Darmody!" "Jimmy!" " Did you get him?" " Yeah." " What the fuck was that?" " The fucking deers." "Go on, get in the car." "Go on, scram!" "Come on, let's go." "Beat it." "Got something to say now, huh?" "Fucking whore!" "Please stop!" "I would love to get married one day." "I am very, very sorry." "Excuse me for one moment." " He is always talking on the phone." " Hello." " It's me." " What?" "It's me." "We got a problem." "All right, I'll be right there." "Fellas, fellas, no leads or arrests!" "How many bodies were found?" "Nothing has been confirmed at this time!" "As soon as we know something, we'll make an official statement." "Four bodies, blood everywhere." "It was like a fucking firing squad." "No sign of the truck?" "In a goddamn election year." " The Feds onto this yet?" " No." "Hands still full with the funeral home." "Cusick's probably having a stroke." "You know the imbecile changed his name to Doyle?" "Don't ask." "You know, the peculiar thing is that at the same time the Feds are raiding Mickey, this shit is happening three miles away." "Ain't that a coincidence?" "So do you want to say it or should I?" "It could be Rothstein himself set it up." "All right, so who knew about the load?" "Me, obviously, Torrio." "Jimmy?" "Who's mysteriously gone missing all of a sudden." "All right, bring him in." "Hey, Ange, sorry." "I know it's late." "Jimmy in?" "No, I haven't seen him in hours." "I thought he was at work." "Sorry to disturb you." "When he comes home, tell him Nucky's looking for him." "Well, now I'm getting concerned." "Probably ran into a friend." "War buddy maybe." "Do you think it could have something to do with the men that picked him up?" "Beg your pardon?" "There is no comment." "Now you must stop ringing!" "Cocksucking reporters." "If they want a statement, tell them to call the mayor." "Even reporters ain't that stupid." "I'll give them a statement later." "I can't get over it." "It don't make sense." " Doesn't it?" " Come on, Eli, Jimmy?" "He gives the Feds the funeral home," "Throws them off the scent." "Meantime, he's out pulling this job." " Not how, why." " Why?" "Because he's greedy." "Jealous probably, too." "That's the way people are, Nucky." "Arnold Rothstein." "I'm very sorry, Mr. Thompson is not available." "He would very much like you to call him back." " Where are you going?" " To get some air." "Mr. Thompson, I was just coming to see you." "I'm sorry, I'm late for a meeting." "I really just wanted to drop this off." "I'm on my way to the hospital." "Nothing serious, I hope?" "One of our members, Mrs. Schroeder." "She suffered an injury." "Lost her child." "What was the manner of injury?" "I'm really not at liberty to say." "Commodore?" "Mr. Nucky here to see you." "Well, send him in, for God's sake." "Quite the shitstorm you got on your hands, eh, Mr. Treasurer?" "Well, good morning to you, too." "These bodies in the woods," "I assume belong to your friend in New York?" "Rothstein's men." "I don't understand why you got involved." "Yes, you do!" "It was a favor to Chicago." "That, plus Rothstein's numbers were right." "Till he buggered you in the ass." "Fucking Rothstein." "By Henry fucking Ford." "I think my problems go beyond world finance." "What a fucking night." "It's seven years today." "Mabel." "I'd just gone to jail." "Not a day goes by, I'll tell you that much." "Maybe she's better off." "The Feds will be all over this thing." "I can't have dead bodies lying around on the road." "Bad for business." "You gotta give them someone." "Let 'em make an arrest." "It's Jimmy." "Get the fuck..." "This?" "Left me holding the bag." "What a fucking little prick." "I never knew he had it in him." "Jimmy?" "Fucking Jimmy." "Nucky." "Nuck!" " I take you back." " Nucky." " I give you a job..." " Listen." "...and this is how you fucking repay me?" "Last night was not supposed to happen like that, Nuck." "Make sure you mention that to Rothstein as he's cutting your nuts off." "It's all gonna get straightened out, Nuck." "I promise." "Are you that stupid?" "Have no fucking idea how in over your head you are?" " I know it's an awful..." " Did I not tell you to slow down?" "I tried to give you money." "I tried..." "I tried to tell you I'm not a kid anymore!" "And killing and fucking larceny?" " That makes you a man?" " No." "You got brains, kid." "You had a future." "Look, I still got a future." "We both do." "The war, Nuck, the things I did over there?" "You live in a trench for months on end." "The killing, the smell of death." "Nucky, I'm nothing but a murderer." "You know how many times I went over the top?" "They call me a fucking hero." "The truth is" "I didn't care anymore." "I didn't care." "You're home now." " You got a family." " I'm going to hell, Nuck." " Knock it off." " No, I am." " You are not." " I'm 22 years old." "I see fellas like fucking Luciano with a fancy suit with fucking diamonds." " Is that what you want?" " That's what you want, too!" "That's what..." "It's what we all want." "At least I got the gumption to take it." "You'd be very foolish to underestimate me, James." "I could have you killed." "Yeah, but you won't." "Look, you can't be half a gangster, Nucky." "Not anymore." "Let me help you." " What the fuck is this?" " It's your share for last night." "I didn't ask for this." "You didn't have to." "Sir, we need you to come with us." "What are you doing?" " What are you doing?" " Get in there!" "Sir!" "Please." "Surely you're making a mistake." " Getting cold?" " Are you kidding me?" "The Atlantic City Sheriff's Department has confirmed that a body found caught in a fisherman's net this afternoon is that of Hans Schroeder, a local man who went missing yesterday." "Stop." "Schroeder, who worked occasionally as a baker's helper, had been sought in connection with Saturday night's bloody roadside massacre." "Stop." "Maestro, can I have my note, please?" "A note for Eddie." "This time it's a ballad." "Hello."

"Parker:" "Spike, this bomb could go at any moment." "Buddy, what're you doing?" "Spike, get in the harness." "G, A-B-C," "D-E-F-G, G is four." "Parker:" "Spike!" "There's no time, you get outta there!" "A!" "A is..." "A's two, am I right?" "Four, 2." "L." "Spike!" "Ed, get outta here!" "Eddie, you get outta there right now dammit!" "Right now!" "60 seconds." "I'm not leaving him down there." "Ed, one minute down range." "Spike..." "Spike..." "Help me!" "Help me." "(Rotors beat)" "Spike:" "Dark days for Jueventus, Dad." "Three losses in a row." "Too much old in the old lady." "They only scored two goals in their last four games." "Maybe if they played more men back of centre...?" "It's about knowing where you need to be." "If you take chances, everyone ends up paying." "You... (Dry, wheezed cough)" "'Kay, Ba." "'Kay have some water, Ba." "Ba. 'Kay, I'll be back in a second, okay?" "Nurse!" "(Coughing)" "Spike:" "Nurse!" "Nurse says he just needs some rest." "Okay?" "He'll be better once we get him back home." "Yeah, Doctor Jamal said it should be tonight." "Okay, great then." "All right." "I got my phone." "Promise me, don't mention Jueventus." "Say "bye" for me." "Okay." "(Monitor buttons beep)" "Winnie:" "Team one, fire and police are on route and will meet you at Fairbanks Tower Square." "Okay, team, here's what we know from the good folks at Fairbanks Tower." "A suspicious package was found on the lower level of the north tower - corner of King and Bay." "Parker:" "Security guard was on patrol, sees something in a trash can he doesn't like, and he calls it in." "So what was the package?" "Ed:" "Blue and white vinyl gym bag." "He opened it up, saw some wires, didn't go any further." "Wow, vinyl gym bags." "I haven't seen one of those since high school." "Hey, I had one of those." "Parker:" "Okay, guys, let's check out the package, let us know what's going on." "Sam, go with 'em, north east door - give our guys some privacy." "We'll stay on the street, coordinate with fire just in case." "Copy that." "Building management said they shut down the H-VAC just in case it's a bio-hazard." "Just take a look inside, button it down, and let's get back home." "Raf:" "A lot of trouble to go through for a gym bag." "Spike:" "Yeah, we get a couple of these calls a year - usually it's nothing." "Babycakes, we haven't had a date for a while." "See that yellow box on her?" "Mm-hm." "That's a new multi-rae plus - gives her a nose like a Doberman." "10 ppm of 35 different deadly chemicals, right?" "Buddy." "Nice." "But your order of magnitude." "You gotta move the decimal place." "One part per million and she barks." "Don't sell my baby short." "My bad." "Contact info on all our tenants." "Clearing the building now." "Nice." "Looks like you've done this before." "That's what the drills are for." "We get almost everyone out." "Yeah, "Almost everyone" doesn't really cut it." " Yeah." " Thanks." "Oh!" "Thank God you're here." "I keep telling them to get out." "But they won't leave." "Hey!" "Police!" "We need you to clear this area immediately." "What's the protocol?" "Investigate." "Evaluate." "Neutralize." "Hopefully not detonate." "Let's see what she smells." "Clear this room now." "You're being evacuated." "For another fire drill?" "No way!" "I'm not asking you, ma'am." "Good, 'cause I'm not agreeing." "Sam:" "Hey!" "It's what I'm talking about." "They won't open the door." "I'll open it for them." "Spike." "I found your bag." "You must have walked right past it." "Uh, we're with the package now." "(Scanner beeps)" "Sam, get those people out of here right now!" "There's two bombs." "Sir, step around the corner." "(Gunshot pops, workers scream and yelp)" "(Glass shatters)" "Everybody get outta here now!" "(Beeping)" "Spike:" "RDX." "Raf:" "Active explosive." "(Thunderous explosion, debris clatters)" "(Secondary explosion blasts)" "Parker:" "What's going on?" "We got two separate explosions." "Jules and I are going down now." " Spike, Raf?" "Talk to me." " Get outta the way!" "Sam?" "Spike?" "Raf?" "Talk to me." "(Electricity fizzles, man breathes heavily)" "(Wires crackles, coughing nearby)" "(Hyperventilating)" "Sam?" "Sam, buddy?"

"Spike:" "I'm good." "Parker:" "Spike?" "Raf?" "Boss, it's Spike." "Raf and I are okay." "The device detonated." "There's significant damage." "Hallway's caved in." "Sam?" "Sam, talk to me!" "(Woman cries nearby)" "Raf?" "Go find our guy!" "Raf:" "Copy that." "(Coughing)" "Ed:" "Sam, you copy?" "(Boots clomp on stairs)" "Sam?" "Come on, speak to me, Sam." "Chief!" "We got a 10-66, two explosions underground." "Let's work together, tight perimeter around the plaza, all right?" "No one gets in, and we damn sure talk to anybody who comes out." "You got it." "Raf, you find Sam?" "Talk to me, buddy." "Raf:" "On it, boss, but there's a lot of debris." "And a lot of smoke." "Sam?" "Sam?" "Hey!" "I need everyone to move back to wall." "This could come down any second now." "Move back, please." "Sam?" "Aw, man, Sam's down." "Spike:" "Is he breathing?" "Boss, I found Sam." "He's unconscious, but his pulse is good." "(Electricity crackles)" "How many people back there?" "How many?" "Uh, there's, ah..." "Six of us." "Raf:" "Boss?" "Man2:" "Is she okay?" "We've got six civilians." "I've got a female, she's down, but she's breathing." "She's trapped under all this debris, boss." "I can't move her." "Parker:" "Okay, we EMS coming." "A guy's waiting for you." "Just stay close, Raf." "Ed:" "Boss, this doesn't look good." "I'm gonna try to get through." "Jules, send the medics down my way." "Spike:" "Northeast corner's caved in." "There's no way out." "Raf:" "Boss, there was definitely a second explosion at the other end of the hall." "There's so much damage down here, we are totally trapped." "Man:" "Over here, we need help." "Two bombs, two explosions..." "Almost on top of each other." "Spike:" "Two bombs." "Almost simultaneous." "Spike, what's on your mind?" "Well, what's the play here?" "Why two bombs?" "Parker:" "Maximum damage?" "The second one's a back up?" "The bombs, there're big, but not huge." "Raf:" "Are you okay back there?" "Is everyone okay?" "Man2:" "Do we look okay?" "Well, what's worth targeting down there?" "Spike:" "That's just it." "Parker:" "Spike, what do you mean?" "It's more like they were meant to seal the hallway than to destroy anything in particular." "Parker:" "Why?" "That's what I'm trying to figure out." "(Drop box rattles)" "Parker:" "Forget it." "Let's get you guys outta there." "We can worry about a motive later." "(Scanner beeps)" "Parker:" "Where'd you go, Spike?" "What's going on?" "Bad news, boss." "There's another device." "And it's huge." "It makes the other two look like firecrackers."

"We're looking at 50, maybe 70 pounds of plastique." "With the hallway blocked up after the first two, this thing'll shoot straight up like a Roman candle." "The whole building could go." "Parker:" "Does it have a timer?" "I'm looking." "Raf, what kind of injuries we have down there?" "Mostly superficial." "One's serious." "Sam's still unconscious but he's breathing fine." "Parker:" "Okay, help's on the way." "Just stand by." "I've organized the Unis, we're evacuating the building, top down, it should be clear, sir." "Okay, keep moving." "We don't know how much time we're working with." "Jules:" "'Kay." "Winnie's, where's my command truck?" "Winnie:" "Seconds away, boss." "Eddie, how are we?" "We any closer to getting our folks down there?" "We got a key structural wall here that's been damaged." "We pull out the wrong piece of rubble, the whole thing'll come down." "Fire Captain we'll need three, four hours maybe if we don't want it all caving in." "Three hours." "We got that long?" "Spike, what do you think?" "Spike:" "I think everybody's move gotta back right now." "Why, Spike?" "What do you see?" "Spike:" "Timer is chemical." "I can't be exact, boss, but..." "Parker:" "Could you give me a guess?" "Raf:" "Come on, guys, you gotta move back." "Give him some room." "Move back!" "Let us work!" "Maybe five minutes." "Jules, let's clear the plaza." "Come on, let's go!" "All right, get up top." "Now!" "Parker:" "Spike, can you get inside there and defuse it?" "There's gotta be counter measures." "I do one thing wrong..." "Parker:" "Ah, yeah." "Okay, it goes up." "I get it, I get it." "Boss, there's gotta be another way in here." "Venting, ceilings..." "There's gotta be another way." "Yeah, copy that." "Spike, Raf?" "Everyone down there needs to find cover." "Right now!" "Due respect, but there's no such thing as "cover"" "with this thing." "Everybody up top's gotta move back right now." "Ed, that includes you." "Everyone, just move it back!" "Clear it up!" "All the trucks to the end of the block, Jules." "Spike, what about you?" "I got a plan." "What's that guy doing in the hall?" "Is there another bomb?" "I need you guys back against the wall." "There is, isn't there?" "Raf:" "I need you guys against the wall." "Now." "We need to find a way out!" "Raf:" "And we will." "But right now, I need you guys in here and against the wall." "Woman:" "There's another bomb?" "We're working on it." "Hey buddy, could I see you for a sec." "You're building security, right?" "Yes." "I-I'm..." "I need you to keep 'em calm." "Okay, calm is contagious." "The more together you are, the better they'll be, all right?" "And if their condition changes, can you just..." "Yeah, I'll let you know." "Okay." "(Boots clomp, electricity fizzles)" "Raf, you got some good news?" "Ed's working on a way out." "Liquid nitrogen?" "Yeah." "The bomb's armed on a classic timer " "British Number-10 pencil fuse." "I've only read about them." "When our guy left it, he would've tightened this screw..." "Spike:" "It busts a glass vial, releasing a chemical that starts eating away at a tiny filament." "Once that breaks, the firing pin is released and..." " Boom." " Yeah, that's the technical term." "It's brilliant." "High tech bomb, with an old school timer." "Totally immune to electronic counter-measure." "So the liquid nitrogen stops the acid?" "No." "Nothing's gonna stop it." "That's why you use this fuse." "If I do this right, it might slow it down." "Raf:" "Buy some time." "Yeah, give Ed a chance to get us out." "Anyone's cell phone working?" "Mine's busted." "Crap." "Mine's in my bag." "My wife always has the news on." "She's going to see all of this." "She's not going to know whether I'm dead or alive." "Hey, hey." "You're gonna have a great story to tell once we get out." "People will buy you dinner for weeks." "Huh?" "Yeah, if we get out." "We'll get out." "Sam:" "(Dazed moaning)" "Sir." "Are you okay?" "Sam:" "Yeah." "Any casualties?" "Uh, there's two ladies hurt." "(Chatter over police radio)" "Sam:" "Sarge?" "Jules." "Sam." "Welcome back." "I'm gonna go check on him." "Yeah." "Parker:" "You gave us one hell of a scare there, buddy." "You okay?" "I'm sore, but all the pieces are in one place." "Jules:" "Braddock, you're supposed to leave the bombs to the demolitions guys." "Sam:" "I love to." "Raf?" "How's he look?" "He's got a head wound, boss." "I'm good." "Okay, how 'bout those escape routes?" "We got nothing." "We're trapped in here." "Boss, we got a way in." "A subway ventilation shaft." "I'm gonna drop down 60 feet." "We'll be right beside the basement hall." "We blast in, do a careful extraction." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Jules, I need the hard entry pack, now!" "Spike, you buy us more time?" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Back it up!" "Spike:" "Just did." "T-I-C says we're at 90 below." "That should slow down the acid, give us... 40 minutes, maybe 45." "But it'd sure be nice to be somewhere else by then." "Parker:" "Okay, let's work with 40 minutes." "Not now, ma." "Ed:" "All right, let's go, let's go!" "Let's go, Jules." "I need that hard entry pack." "Let's go, let's go!" "Excellent." "Thank you." "Jules:" "Good luck." "Steve:" "Hey, Jules." "Jules:" "Hey." "Dispatch says you have an injured officer with a woman pinned under rubble." "Yeah, we're gonna go down there." "We're gonna get them out." "The officer, it's Sam?" "Jules, get everybody outta here." "Steve:" "Let me go down." "It's not gonna happen, Steve." "Jules:" "Come on." "Ed:" "All right." "Come on." "You start yanking that woman out from under that rubble, you could kill her." "I need to get down there." "I can't do that, Steve." "If we send you down, you're just another person we have to bring back up." "What happens if you can't get her out?" "You leave her crushed she's dead in a couple of hours." "We don't have a couple hours." "We're lucky if we get everybody out as it is." "Ed:" "Bring it down." "Spike, I'm coming to you." "If you wanna help?" "Get on the radio and talk us through it." "Hey, boss." "The building's clear." "Unis are doing one final sweep." "That's good work, Jules." "List of the building's tenants." "Jules:" "You looking for a motive?" "Without much luck." "Too many companies, too many targets." "Let's try and get a read on the bomb builder." "Parker:" "We can track him down." "Get him to help us stop it." "Jules:" "Okay, so... motive." "Political, financial?" "Terrorism?" "A grudge to settle?" "Gimme half." "Let's make it easy for him to get in touch." "Winnie." "We need an 800-number." "Get it out there." "TV, radio, on-line." "Let's get all the tips together and have them sent directly to you." "I'll filter through them and patch through anything that looks promising." "That's perfect." "Now, Winnie," "I don't need to tell you- yeah I know, make it quick, I know." "Thank you." "(Coughs and moans)" "Security:" "Hey." "Hey." "Hello?" "(Coughs)" "What happened?" "Hey."

"I can't, I can't feel my legs." "(Cries)" "Just like I thought..." "Nothing's gonna be easy." "Raf, I should be there." "Hold it!" "Raf, I should be close right here." "Raf:" "You're right on the other side, Ed." "Place the charge, then we'll blast right through." "Not so fast." "Spike, we got nine people to pullout." "Spike:" "If you blow through now there's gonna be anybody." "There's a motion sensitive switch on this thing." "I gotta deactivate it." "The blast could set it off." "Parker:" "Spike, why would it if the first two didn't?" "Spike: 'Cause the bomber knew his angles, boss." "Ed's coming in way too close." "Spike:" "You gotta be careful." "Parker:" "Okay." "Spike:" "So don't let him take any chances." "All right, deactivate." "Go careful." "Ed:" "Charge is set." "Pull me back up." "How long, Spike?" "Seconds away." "I just gotta make sure the pin doesn't drop if the box moves." "Ed:" "Let's go, go, go." "Let's go!" "Up, up, up!" "All right, right there, right there." "Let's go!" "Drop it down, drop it down!" "Unhook me." "Raf:" "Everyone move back to the corner and keep your heads down now!" "Take cover!" "Go, go, now!" "Now!" "Charge is in place, ready to blow." "Spike..." "Good to blow!" "Let this please be the last thing we blow up today." "Counting down." "Five..." "Four... three..." "Two... one." "(Remote beeps)" "Counting down." "Five... four... three... two... one." "(Remote beeps)" "(Charge detonates)" "(Truck door shuts) Here you go." "Hey, uh, Sam, it's Steve." "You there?" "Sam:" "Steve, she's too deeply buried for tourniquets." "Steve:" "Yeah." "You know what?" "I've seen the pictures you took." "I'm sending down some meds." "Can you, uh, set up an IV drip?" "We just have to keep her hydrated." "Sam:" "No problem, just get it down here." "Steve:" "I'm on it." "I'll send it down with the air jack." "It's gonna be okay, Rania." "Please, just get me out." "The hole's good." "We're punched through." "Ed:" "The harness is on its way, and I'm sending down the meds." "On it's way." "It's a long way down, it's gonna take some time." "And nine people are down there." "How much time for each person?" "Ed:" "Up and down, maybe three minutes per person." "(Exhales) My God, that's 27 minutes." "That's not enough time." "Raf:" "If you some tools down here, we can cut the metal and make the hole bigger." "We might be able to take this bomb right out." "Parker:" "Spike, that could work?" "Spike:" "Could work, or we could trip another counter-measure and blow it up early." "Okay, but we gotta try, because not everybody's gonna make it." "You're saying I can't defuse a bomb?" "Ed:" "You're running out of time." "Let's get that first civilian to the hole." "Now!" "Let's go!" "Let's do it now!" "Copy that, Eddie." "Ed:" "Raf, how's it looking?" "All right, got the package." "(Harness buckles click)" "Raf:" "Okay, I'm getting Claire hooked up now." "Sam:" "Okay, Rania?" "Rania:" "Yes?" "Sam:" "I'm gonna put some fluids in you, okay?" "You've done this before?" "Sam:" "Sure, army trained, in the field." "Soldiers though, they're not as tough as you are." "Okay, Tony..." "I need you find something to hang this off, okay?" "Okay." "Raf:" "All right, Ed, stand by." "Little more tension, Ed." "Little more." "Little more." "All right, she's coming up, Ed." "Sam: (Hushed tone) Steve, she's shaking pretty badly." "Steve:" "It's shock." "Her organs could be shutting down." "We need to start her on that on that IV." "On it." "All right, Claire's on her way." "All right, who's Dave?" "You're next." "Ken:" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "What?" "It's alphabetical." "It's random and it's fair." "Ken:" "No, Claire was hurt - I get that." "But now alphabetical?" "How is that fair?" "I got a two year-old daughter, you think it's fair that her dad dies down here?" "We're all gonna get outta here, Ken." "Yeah, easy for you to say, Anderson." "Hey." "Hey, hey, hey, can you guarantee" "That all of us get out of here?" "No." "You can't." "Look, I am last." "Please, Dave, for the love of" "Ken, it's my turn." " It's not fair!" " Hey-hey, buddy, settle down." "Get your hands off of me!" "Why do you decide who lives and who dies?" "Hey!" "Every minute you spend fighting me is a minute I should be working to get you outta here." "Tony:" "You can take my place." "Really?" "Tony Kramkov." "Take it." "I'll go last." "(Relieved breaths) Thank you." "Okay." "Us guys in uniform, we stick together." "You're a good man, Tony." "Ed:" "We're good." "(Drill whirs)" "Cracking the shell now." "Boss..." "We got more trouble." "Talk to me, Spike." "The guy who built this thing did not want anyone to get his hands on it." "Sending you a video right now." "That pyrex is protected by infra-red." "I crack the glass, it detonates." "How's that?" "The I-R is a trip wire." "I break the glass, I breaks the beam, it triggers immediately." "What about the keypad?" "Yeah, it probably shuts off the infra-red then maybe I can crack the glass and get to that fuse, but..." "But what?" "Spike:" "But this thing's a fortress, boss." "I mean, I put in the wrong code..." "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." "I'm not gonna let that happen." "Sarge, guy on the 800 number says he's the bomber." "Eddie, Jack's on the way." "Winnie, patch him through." "Ed:" "It's okay." "We got you, let's go." "It's all right." "Good man, good man." "Let's get him up, let's get him up." "Bomber:" "The bomb is the message and this message is for the pig bankers getting fat off the corpses of the poor." "Hello, this is Sergeant Greg Parker with the Police Strategic Response Unit." "Ah, the police." "What's your name again?" "It's Greg Parker, sir." "Bomber:" "Greg Parker, your hands are being held by the government on one side and by the banks on the other... (Whispering) Okay, boss, there's a bank on floors eight through 12, and also an aerospace company," "I'm gonna find somebody to talk to." "Ed:" "Winnie, sounds like it could be our guy." "Run a trace, send some cruisers." "Do it now." "Copy that." "Work him, boss." "Significant dates, favourite numbers, I'll take anything you can get." "Sir, I wanna thank you for calling us today." "Bomber:" "I've got your attention." "Oh, yes, sir." "Very much so." "Good." "Today the world hears me." "Parker:" "Is there a reason you picked today, sir?" "Is this date part of your message?" "Bomber:" "No, today's just the start, Sergeant Parker." "There's gonna be a whole lot more, just like this." "Spike:" "Red Flag, boss." "A bomb this complex..." "You don't knock off a bunch of them." "This is a once in a lifetime." "Let's be real sure with this, Spike." "Ask him how he got so much dynamite?" "Sir, can you tell me how you got your hands on so much dynamite?" "That's quite a coup." "Bomber:" "Don't underestimate the little guy." "There's a lot more dynamite where that came from." "Agh!" "Wrong answer." "Bomber used plastique." "Winnie:" "Sarge, there's uniforms are at the guy's house." "Winnie, send 'em in." "Take this goofball down." "Spike What you're gonna do do you hear me?" "(Knock at the door) Officer:" "Police open up!" "Parker:" "Loud and clear you idiot." "Spike..." "Spike:" "I know, I know." "Back to square one." "We got 20 minutes before this thing goes up." "(Knocking)" "Office Callaghan?" "Jules:" "Lucas Braft?" "Braft:" "Yes." "Appreciate your time." "My assistant said you wanted to talk to me." "What can I do?" "Well, I'm hoping that you can help us figure out what is going on here." "Of course." "Your company, Lewellen, it occupies the bottom seven floors of this building." "Is it possible that somebody might be targeting you?" "Yes, well, I suppose it's possible, but security's pretty tight around our offices." "Okay." "So maybe they're attacking the building to get to you." "Yes, well, we've had our share of threats." "But making missile guidance systems makes us a villain to some people." "Anti-war types?" "Sometimes..." "not exclusively." "This device is highly sophisticated." "Can you think of anybody that might be holding a grudge?" "There's a man named Kanisky." "The jack's coming down." "Eric, let's go." "You're doing great." "Rania:" "Sure I am." "You wanna dance?" "Sense of humor." "That's a good sign." "I'll be right back." "Tony'll be with you." "(Cries)" "He's not telling me everything." "What makes you say that?" "The reassuring smiles." "No." "He knows what he's doing." "And then what?" "What about my legs?" "Doctors are minutes away." "It's Tony, right?" "Yes." "I'm going to die, aren't I?" "I don't know." "Jules:" "Boss." "I think I got a lead on our bomber." "His Alexi Kanisky." "Brilliant, angry and fired." "He worked at Lewellen International for three years - they make missile guidance systems." "Okay, here's his personnel profile." "Parker:" "He was fired for selling their tech to another firm." "Jules:" "Yeah, he was working on new products." "Heavily hands-on." "That sounds like a fit." "Parker:" "Jules, what do you think?" "Guy like this stick around and watch the show?" "Oh, I think he'd wanna watch the company that screwed him over come down." "Ed:" "Let's get a picture out to the uniforms." "Have everyone start looking." "Okay, I'm gonna go to his house and see what I can find." "Hey, Spike." "How you doing down there, buddy?" "Okay, numbers touched are, uh, two, four, five and six." "Two and four look like they were double touched." "So that narrows down our possible code combinations." "From infinity to... about half that." "Raf:" "Up, up, up." "All right." "(Cell phone rings)" "(Ringing)" "Ma, you can't call- what do you mean?" "A clot?" "No, he's supposed to go home today." "(Exhales)" "Spike?" "Ma." "I can't..." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Okay." "As soon as I can." "What's up, bro?" "My dad." "They're saying he's probably not gonna make it through the night." "Raf:" "We clear the civilians;" "You're first up." "No." "Raf:" "Spike, you gotta go." "No." "It's my call." "This is the drill, okay?" "I'm last man out." "Raf:" "Okay, people, we gotta move." "You gotta know where you're supposed to be." "Boss, find Kanisky." "Okay?" "I can crack this thing." "You bet, buddy." "We're on it." "Winnie:" "Guys, check your phones." "I just sent a picture of our subject, Alex Kanisky." "Boss." "I think you can call off that search." "Sam, check your PDA." "(PDA chimes)" "The bomber's been down here with us this whole time." "We got the guy who made the bomb right here, let's just- 'kay, we can't confront him." "Spike:" "But we need him..." "I need him." "Ed:" "Go, go, we're running out of time." "Let's go!" "Let's move!" "Let's convince him to defuse the bomb off." "Parker:" "What if he has a detonator?" "Then just blows it up early." "So we convince him at gunpoint." "Boss is right." "You can't risk that." "Parker: 12 minutes before the bomb goes off." "We've got two more civilians?" "Yeah." "Including Rania." "And we're almost ready with the gear." "We just gotta jack up the rubble." "Parker:" "Let's do it." "Ken:" "It's here." "Sam:" "Tony." "Tony:" "Yes?" "Sam:" "I need your help." "Tony:" "Okay." "Sam:" "We're gonna Jack this up, okay?" "When it starts rising I need you to find rock, concrete, anything." "Jam it in, and make sure it doesn't fall." "Why is this guy helping us?" "On the same day he tries to pull down a building full of people?" "Spike:" "I think he wanted to destroy the building," "I don't think he wanted to hurt anybody." "Those two bombs were set 10 minutes before this one." "He wanted people to get out of the building." "Then he was trying to get people out of the server room, now he's helping us." "Parker:" "Okay, Spike, Jules is at his house." "Winnie's dug up an old co-worker." "All right?" "Let's..." "Let's try to unlock this guy." "But we do not tip our hand until Rania's out." "Got it." "Eddie." "Anyway we get our people outta there quicker?" "Top speed's still three minutes each." "Three minutes times five people we have left... (Sighs) Eddie..." "So we're five minutes and two to three people short." "Maybe Spike's math is off." "(Sighs)" "Looks like he was expecting us, Sarge." "What do you see, Jules?" "Well, the door was open." "And then these files neatly stacked." "Right on the kitchen counter." "Parker:" "Okay, fast as you can." "Anything you can find." "Jules:" "Copy that." "Barb Lewis?" "Come on in." "Promise I won't keep you long." "I was just hoping you can tell me something about Alexi Kanisky." "Is he involved in these bombings?" "Well, we're to figure that out." "I can't imagine he has anything to do with this." "I worked with him for years." "Until he was fired?" "Came out of the blue." "Alexi:" "Hey, hey." "Braft:" "We'll be filing charges with the police." "I'm deeply disappointed." "Look, I have done nothing wrong." "I gave you everything, my work, my time, my ideas." "I took you into this company." "I gave you the best opportunities." "I stood by you." "Would your loyalty have been so much to ask?" "You have my loyalty, since the first day." "I gave you everything!" "I only wish that were true." "Alexi:" "Okay, okay..." "Barb:" "He was escorted from the building." "Some of Lewellen's Technology was being leaked to a competitor." "It was all traced back to Alexi." "Why did he do it?" "Frustration?" "His project" " Galina - never worked during field tests." "The pressure was pretty intense." "Maybe he was trying to get back at the company for not supporting him?" "You never asked him?" "I called him a few times after he was fired..." "He never called me back." "Parker:" "Thank you, Ms. Lewis, for coming in." "Jules:" "Okay, Sarge, I think I have a handle on this." "He was obsessed with a project called" "Parker:" "Galina." "Exactly." "But he couldn't get it to work." "Some new technology, but there's page after page from different departments in the company, and every piece of the guidance system worked." "But it always failed in the field." "Jules:" "That's what it looks like even though the parts all tested out." "What, so he sells company secrets?" "Jules:" "And when he's caught he goes rogue and plants a bomb?" "Doesn't feel right." "No." "Especially if he's down there trying to help." "Parker:" "There' s something, Jules." "Just keep digging." "Spike?" "I heard it all, boss." "Sam:" "Okay, we're ready." "Rania:" "It hurts." "(Pained whimper)" "Sam:" "Almost there." "(Pained yelp) It hurts." "Almost there." "Okay." "Spike, grab the IV please." "Raf, on three." "One, two, three!" "Rania:" "(Pained cries)" "She's clear." "Nice." "Rania:" "(Whimpering)" "How you doing?" "Steve:" "Now the most important thing, get a tourniquet on each leg." "Well, she's not bleeding." "It's not blood loss - it's what her body was producing when it was being crushed." "Phosphorous." "Potassium." "If they get into her circulation her kidneys could fail." "You hanging in there?" " Yes." " Good." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Sam:" "All right." "Ready?" "Should be okay." "Okay..." "One, two three." "Rania:" "(Pained cries)" "(Rania breathes shakily, harness buckles clank)" "So you're next." "Okay?" "A couple of minutes and you'll be out of here." "None of this should have happened." "Spike:" "I couldn't agree more." "I'd like to thank you for all the help today." "You three should go up next." "I-I have no family." "I'll go last." "No, I can't let that happen." "We've got rules - about protecting life." "Sam:" "Okay, let's go." "Rania:" "(Pained whimpers)" "Hey..." "Sam." "Yeah?" "Rania:" "Thank you for getting me this far." "You're gonna be fine." "'Kay, give us a little slack." "'Kay." "Go, go." "Rania?" "Rania?" "'Kay, get her up, Ed." "Go, go, go!" "Spike:" "No matter how long I'm a police officer..." "Calls like this, it's always hard." "Thing is, I don't think anybody was supposed to get hurt today." "What do you think?" "I don't know." "Yeah, nobody supposed to die like this." "Nobody supposed to have their work destroyed." "Sam:" "Tony, you're gonna have to keep your hands where we can see them." "Alexi?" "Alexi Kanisky?" "You know who I am." "I know you're the only man who can help me." "We know what happened at Lewellen." "I can't help you." "Yeah, you can." "I won't help you." "Then you're killing all of us." "Then we die." "Ed:" "Gently, gently." "Watch the legs." "Okay, gentle." "Gently, gently." "Spike:" "Alexi, I need to make sure you don't have anything that's gonna set off our bomb early." "I would have set it off already." "I don't think so." "I think you would've waited until we had Rania was safe." "I don't think you wanted to hurt anyone today." "He's clean." "Guys, I really don't think we need guns down here." "You can't make things any worse." "Parker:" "That's it, Spike, peer to peer Spike, build the connection." "Ed:" "We're good." "Paramedics are taking care of Rania." "Raf, coming down to you." "No, man, Sam's hurt, he's next." "Seniority." "I stay." "Get outta here." "Guys, we don't have time for this, the harness is here." "Raf, now!" "We only got a few minutes." "I will see you two up top." "Yup." "Jules:" "Spike, two months after Kanisky left" "Lewellen stock jumped." "They made a big announcement about new technology." "A "Breakthrough in missile control."" "He didn't sell company secrets." "They framed him and then froze him out." "Raf:" "Let's go, Ed." "You found out Galina worked, didn't you?" "Those failures in the field, those were all lies." "Your idea was making the company millions." "I kept trying to prove it in court." "But who am I to men like that?" "They just took it." "And this is your way of taking it back." "I gave everything to them." "Well then, don't give 'em your life." "Tell me how to defuse the bomb." "I can't let them win." "Ed:" "Let's go, let's go!" "(Buckles click)" "Raf, you gotta get back." "Guys, I need the place empty now." "Now." "You gotta go, buddy." "Spike, we're running out of time." "After Sam, it's you." "Parker:" "If Kanisky doesn't give up the code, he's not gonna make it." "I think that's what he's going for." "Spike, come on." "Go, see your dad." "He's not gonna give it up." "There's still time." "Spike." "Let me do my job, Sam." "You're next." "Sam:" "Okay." "(Harness fasteners click)" "Uh..." "I'm sorry about your father." "Sam:" "Ed, let's go." "See you topside." "You better." "I know that pain." "Your father?" "Yeah, my mother." "She gave everything to me." "Yeah, my dad did too." "Alexi:" "Well, he must be very proud." "What's the code, Alexi?" "Well, my mother, she died and everything she gave me, all of her dreams, Braft took away." "Your mother wouldn't want you to die for that." "You would die for what you do." "Tell me, what's the difference?" "Parker:" "Spike, the second that line comes down you're in it." "Spike:" "Copy that, boss." "You ever blow stuff up as a kid?" "Smoke, volcanoes." "Baking soda and vinegar." "For me, it was fireworks." "Roman candles, polumnas." "My dad hated it." "He was always worrying." "Same as my mother." "He felt maybe it would turn me into a scientist, a chemist, something he could be proud of." "Something safe." "One day, he came home and he caught me mixing camping fuel, bleach Citric acid." "Yeah." "That's a great explosion." "Spike, get in the harness." "Spike:" "But the thing is, I didn't do it right and I burned myself pretty bad." "I was nine years old." "Did you stop making bombs after that?" "No." "But I learned how to do it right." "And then later on I learned how to take them apart." "Because I didn't wanna see people to get hurt." "I didn't want anyone to see the look I saw in my dad's eyes." "Ed:" "Spike, you ready?" "Spike, you ready?" "Almost." "You built a beautiful bomb, Alexi." "It's perfect." "It's beautiful." "I can't stop it." "But I don't wanna see you die." "I hope your father finds peace." "Spike:" "Yeah, I hope you do too." "Maybe you'll see your mother again." "What was her name?" "Galina." "Galina." "Boss, the code is Galina." "It's alphanumeric, like a phone." "Quick, help me out." "What were those numbers he keyed in again?" "Alpha-numeric, it's like a phone." "G!" "Parker:" "Buddy, buddy, buddy, what're you doing?" "Spike:" "If Galina's the code I can disarm the infrared and get rid of the detonator." "Spike, get in that harness!" "Spike:" "G!" "A, B, C," "D, E, F, G!" "G is four." "Four!" "There's no time, you get outta there!" "A!" "A is..." "A's two, am I right?" "Four, two..." "L!" "A, B, C..." "Get outta there, Spike." "Spike:" "Two, L..." "L is five." "Five, I, four." "N, what's "N", boss?" "Boss, what's "N"?" "Two, four, five, six were the keys." "Two and four were double tapped." "Eddie, you get outta there." "Spike!" "Ed, get outta here!" "Am I right, "N" is six?" "Please, get out." ""N" is six, am I right?" "Please, please, help me." "Help me, please, help me." "Help me!" "Help me!" "Six and then two." "Six... six." "Two." "(Bomb beeps)" "I.R. is down, opening the box." "Spike, you got it?" "Spike:" "No, I gotta get the fuse out." "Help me." "Okay, easy, easy, easy." "Okay, okay." "Ed:" "Spike!" "Eddie, you get outta there right now, dammit, right now!" "60 seconds." "I'm not leaving him down there." "Ed, one man down range." "Ed, one man down range." "Spike...

"Jules:" "That was crazy what you..." "Parker:" "Steve!" "Thanks for the help today." "Hell of a day." "Yeah." "You guys did a great job." "Mikey, thank God!" "(Cries)" "(Kiss)" "Hey, Ba?" "Ba?" "Michelangelo..." "Come stai?" "Did you see?" "Jueventus..." "Scored... four times." "Yeah." "You gotta risk something." "Michael," "I'm scared." "It's okay." "I'm here." "We're all here."

"Danny Ruskin." "Okay." "Why'd he call the cops?" "Force my involvement." "Why?" "Well, either he didn't kill Landon Wale, and he wants me to help him catch the real killer, or he did kill Landon Wale, and he wants me to help him elude justice." "And you would do that for him?"

"I tracked that through three other outfits to get to a Daniel Ruskin." "Daniel Ruskin." "He got a sheet?" "Long one." "Got hooked for larceny, passing bad checks." "Nothing violent." "Then was popped for fraud two years ago in Toronto." "He's a con man, basically." "Oh." "Show business, eh?" "Well, confidence game, showbiz--it's a thin line." "So maybe the victim was a mark in one of Danny's cons." "Vic finds out." "They fight." "Danny kills him and steals the statuette." "Possible." "Danny is usually smoother than that." "Right." "Very smooth, the way he forced you onto this case." "It's clever." "You're a pawn in his game." "I'm not a pawn." "He..." "Yeah?" "What?" "Oh, you're very good." "You almost got me talking." "All right." "What are you keeping from me?" "Nothing." "He's family." "That's all." "Van Pelt." "Complicated, right?" "Boss, it's Detective Reece for you." "They got a call..." "It's for you." "To Jane's phone from the K-Ram offices." "He's on his way over." "Stall him." "Stall him?" "I didn't know your wife was from this world, too." "Oh, yeah." "Her grandparents were your wife Carny royalty.His world, too." "They ran big metal" "Ferris wheels, ghost trains." "They ran 'em all across the midwest, but, uh, my wife-- she, uh..." "She didn't want to have any part of it." "Why?" "Well..." "Carnies are good people, but, uh, you know, you're either with the show or you're not." "There's--there's nowhere in the middle." "And if you're not with the show, then you're a mark." "You're a sucker." "And she didn't like that." "You're not gonna need the badge." "They're gonna tell you're a cop without it." "Actually, people very rarely guess I'm a cop." "Oh, yeah." "Let me do the talking." "When it's advisable." "And don't mention Danny until I do." "I'll be the judge of that." "Hey!" "No trespassing." "Fair's not open yet." "Scram." "Or else what?" "Or else I'll give you a good whupping." "That's what else." "Uh, how about this, Pete?" "If you can catch me, then I will marry that damn ugly sister of yours." "Patrick Jane." "Son of a bitch." "Oh, man!" "I heard you were police." "I didn't believe it, but here you are with a real, live cop." "This is my good friend Teresa." "Doesn't bite." "If you're okay with Jane, I guess you're okay with me." "Thanks." "You know, I haven't seen you a while, eh?" "Well, you know." "Yeah, I know." "So what brings you here now?" "I'll give you three guesses." "Uh, Danny?" "Got it in one." "Danny's a good boy." "What's he been up to?" "Hey, Sam." "Come on out here." "I got a surprise for you, honey." "Come on." "You ready?" "Ta-da!" "Ta-da!" "Oh, look at you, huh?" "Yeah." "Aah!" "Uh, what was that for?" "Detroit." "Oh, yeah." "Fair enough." "Mm-hmm." "What's with the State Trooper?" "Yeah, it's, like, unreal, huh?" "A Jane working with the law." "How do I look like a cop?" "Oh, please." "Look like Cagney and Lacey had a baby, called it pepper." "They're looking for Danny." "Danny's in trouble." "Yeah, what else is new?" "Danny's always in trouble." "Remember the morning of your wedding?" "Oh, yes." "Yeah." "My--my wife had to bail Danny out in her dress." "She was not very happy." "Well, it's good to see you and all, but the police is the police." "No offense." "None taken." "Well, Pete, wh-why don't you take pepper here and, uh, show her the elephant?" "I'd love to see the elephant." "My pleasure." "Right this way." "Her name is Daisy." "She's cute." "She's a mean old girl." "She'd run down her own kids for an apple." "No." "You think I'm kidding?" "Here." "Give her one." "Where do I put it?" "In here." "You two get along, you can take her home with you." "You want another one?" "What kind of trouble Danny got?" "Worst kind of trouble." "Damn shame." "Not surprised though." "Danny's been heading downhill all the way since Angela died." "There's a man needed a big sister." "Yeah." "So..." "I should help you and the cops find him..." "Why?" "Danny called me, uh, just out of the blue, and he asked for my help." "Danny doesn't always do what's best for his own interests." "Tendency to outfox himself." "True." "But he asked for my help, and that's what I'll give him." "A few hours ago, I was wiping a murder weapon clean, in case it had Danny's fingerprints on it." "I don't know where Danny is now..." "But Nicki does." "Talk to Biltmore Nicki." "Same gig as always." "It's good to see you." "I'm glad you're doing okay." "You are doing okay, aren't you?" "Oh, yeah." "My little friend pepper is gonna need a ride back to the office." "She's huge." "Kinda tickles." "Hey!" "Jane!" "Detective Reece called three times." "He's pissed." "He can get in line." "Where's Van Pelt?" "Oh, hey, boss." "Can I borrow the car?" "Ha ha ha." "That's funny." "Anything on Ruskin?" "Uh, yeah, he's a, uh, former escape artist." "Had an act as a kid, just like Jane--"Houdini Jr."" "Says he could do the water torture cell trick at 17, which I guess is good, if you like that sort of thing." "Cho, go and talk to the victim's wife." "See if she knows Ruskin." "Rigsby, have Van Pelt help you look into his financials." "Look for other names." "Con men rarely work alone." "Where's Van Pelt?" "Daniel Ruskin." "I don't know him." "Sorry." "But you do?" "I have met Daniel." "He's very charming." "I'm sure he wouldn't hurt Landon." "You know Ruskin, but you told us you never heard of his company, K-Ram." "No." "I-I have no notion of his business." "I met Daniel socially at Landon's country club." "Murphy introduced us." "Murphy Traver?" "Mm." "Oh, a lovely man." "Of the Long Island Travers." "Thank you for your cooperation," "Mr. Traver." "Oh, happy to talk, agents." "Yeah, I just need to get back to this meeting in a few." "Can't trust computer nerds alone too long, you know." "Oh, gosh." "Poor Landon." "It's horrible." "So you introduced him to Ruskin?" "Yeah, yeah." "Sure did." "I, uh, yeah, met Daniel at the club." "He's just an outstanding guy." "But, well, why do you want to know about Daniel?" "Well, he's a con man." "He may have killed Mr. Wale." "Do you know where he is?" "Con man?" "Oh, my God." "My God." "I invested with him." "Oh, my God." "Where's your assistant?" "I'm--I'm sorry, Agent." "I-I have to call my bank." "Yeah, you know, a place like this, bunch of people, you should have an assistant." "At least a receptionist." "And with all those employees, the phone lines should be ringing off the hook." "Landlines." "So 20th-century." "No, Agent." "I-I'm sorry." "You c-- you're not allowed in there." "That's a clean room, Agent!" "Very clean." "Aah." "Ow." "I am having a very bad day, and you're gonna tell us about Daniel Ruskin." "Come on." "Just--okay." "All right." "My dear, sorry to bother." "Did you see two boys run down the street?" "No." "Ma'am, what's wrong?" "I was walking to the train station-- it's such a nice day-- and these two boys just took my purse." "Ma'am, here." "Come here." "Sit down." "Oh." "Ohh." "I have to visit my sister." "She's in the hospital in Bakersfield." "I feel so stupid." "That's terrible." "And the--the last train to Bakersfield leaves in 40 minutes." "Oh, dear." "Oh." "Look, uh..." "Can I drive you to the train station?" "You would do that?" "Oh, my dear." "Oh, thank you." "Sure." "Mm." "Ohh." "You're not taking her anywhere, Grace." "Nice hook, Nicki." "You're such a sweet old Lady." "Grace, Nicki." "Nicki, Grace." "If this were for real, this old fox would have you stripped bare." "This sweet piece of fruit is a cop?" "Damn." "Guess I'm losing my touch." "I'm looking for Danny." "Look at me." "Danny?" "Look at me." "This is a family thing." "I know you know where he is." "Tell me, Nicki, or this nice piece of fruit will take you downtown and treat you to a complimentary cavity search." "Hypothetically, what happened?" "Hypothetically?" "We were running "the rag."" ""We'll let you invest in a surefire stock market winner." ""It's a little illegal." "Shh, don't tell anybody." "Blah, blah."" "Hypothetically..." "Danny hooked Landon good." "I mean, had him begging us to let him invest." "He was bringing us some statue worth 200 grand." "So you and Danny killed Landon and took the statue." "No." "No." "Why take it when he was gonna give it to us in the morning?" "Maybe you took it, Murphy." "You didn't want to share with Danny, so you called Wale and met him early." "Things got out of hand." "You need to help yourself, tell your side." "No, no, no, no." "You're a liar." "She's right." "You are." "Where's Danny Ruskin?" "You're a businessman." "So's Danny." "He'll understand." "I don't know." "I don't." "But I know who he's with." "Trixie... somebody." "Rich and hot." "Yeah." "Danny's always got a second revenue stream." "Always..." "Monetizing." "Excuse me." "Jane, where the hell are you?" "Wow." "Hope that's the decaf you're getting." "How did you kn" "I can hear the foam machine." "Anyway, I promised Grace I'd call, so I called." "Lovely to talk to you." "Bye now." "Put her on now." "No, I've already ditched her." "Jane, you have to come in." "Danny could be dangerous." "We're not looking to use deadly force, but things happen." "It's not safe for you." "Getting close to nabbing him, are you?" "Oh, that's good to hear." "Well, may the best man win, Lisbon." "Jane!" "Boss." "Checked the sign-in logs at the K-Ram offices." "Found a Trixie Mercado." "She's the daughter of the guy who owns the building." "She has a place in Midtown." "Thanks." "May the best man win." "Detective Reece, it's Lisbon." "We've got a lead on Ruskin." "It's party time." "Ohh." "Baby, why are you packing?" "God, you are killing me." "You're so gorgeous." "Seriously, uh, I'm dying, but I gotta go, baby." "Something came up." "I'll be back soon, all right?" "Danny." "Hey." "Long time." "Danny, what the hell?" "You must be, uh, Trixie, huh?" "Hi." "I'm--I'm Patrick." "No need to be scared." "Danny and I--we're family." "Biltmore Nicki called you, huh?" "And that's it, you're just gonna hop on out of here?" "I" "I just got here." "You're mad." "You're mad." "I get that." "I do." "But I needed your help." "I needed your wisdom and--and cunning and-- yeah, how much help can I be to you when I'm in handcuffs, Danny?" "Wh-what can I say?" "Calling you in was the best of some very unsavory options." "Then tell me what happened with Landon Wale last night-- honest and quick." "I don't have all day." "Police, open up!" "You son of a bitch." "That has nothing to do with me." "Trixie Mercado, are you in there?" "We've got some questions." "Oh, please." "Baby, what the hell is going on?" "Look, just talk to 'em." "I have influence." "We can sort this thing out." "Ms. Mercado?" "If you didn't do anything, you got nothing to worry about." "Nothing to worry about?" "I am not spending a day in jail!" "Not one day." "Never again." "Ever." "You got me?" "Ms. Mercado, open the door right now." "Back up." "I'm going in." "Give me some room." "Back up!" "Whoa." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Danny's not here." "Yep." "Danny went that way." "All by himself." "All units search the area." "Suspect has fled." "Establish a 2-block perimeter around this block." "Hey." "You're Patrick's friend, right?" "Yeah." "He said to tell you he's really, really sorry about all this." "Jane's with Danny?" "Jane?" "No." "It was a man." "Patrick." "Tell me what happened with Landon Wale." "Ooh, big Detective." "Consultant." "Consultant." "Stop stalling." "Just tell me if you killed the man, and I'll take you to Mexico." "I'm touched." "Cabo?" "You--you'd do that for me?" "Yes, I would." "Why?" "Because your sister would want me to." "You sound like a mark." "Or you think I'm a mark." "Which?" "You sound like you're in over your head." "Yeah, way over my head." "Not like Patrick." "No." "You would never get in way over your head, would you?" "Too smart for that, never made mistakes." "Not the boy wonder." "Why won't you answer my question?" "Is it because you hate me, or is it because you did, in fact, kill the man?" "Hate." "Why would I hate you, bro?" "I asked my question first." "I didn't kill Landon." "I smell deception, but it's hard to tell with you, because you're kind of a sociopath, like all the great con men." "I am great, huh?" "First compliment you ever gave me I can recall." "Convince me, Danny." "Come on." "Try." "Just--just make me believe that you didn't kill that guy." "You want me to dance for you, Hmm?" "I should crawl for you?" "Okay, that's it." "I'm leaving, and I'm gonna call the cops." "They will be here in five minutes." "I would make yourself scarce." "Stop!" "Stop!" "You think I won't do it?" "Not sure." "But..." "I wouldn't blame you if you did." "Agent Hightower." "You lied to me." "Detective Reece has some concerns about the Landon Wale case." "Seems like you didn't tell him that Jane is the brother-in-law of Daniel Ruskin, the prime suspect." "At the time of my conversation with Detective Reece," "I didn't know about the connection." "I apologize for the oversight." "I'm supposed to buy that?" "No purchase required, Detective." "Where's Jane now?" "Oh, I don't know where he is." "You don't know where he is?" "Okay." "I tell you what, this is what I'm going to do." "I'm gonna get an arrest warrant, and I'm gonna have every cop on the street looking for him and Ruskin." "You need to get control of your unit, Lady." "What you have right here is slackness." "If Mr. Jane is involved in obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, or anything like that, he's yours." "Are we done?" "I guess we are." "Keep in touch." "Jane's in trouble." "Detective Rigsby." "You wanted to talk to me?" "It's Agent." "Uh, we're reinterviewing a number of Mr. Wale's associates." "It's just routine." "Let's go to desk, shall we?" "You look... different." "Yeah, it's really hot at the office." "The air's broken." "No money to fix it?" "We found out that the company was gonna file for bankruptcy, Heather." "The place is broke." "You should really talk to Melanie." "Yeah, but what happened to the company?" "Do you read the news?" "Real estate's not doing so well, and Landon made a bad deal or seven." "He was a cowboy, a win big, lose big." "Please take a seat." "So how did, uh," "Melanie and Concetta take the bankruptcy news?" "They didn't know." "Landon only told me." "I, uh, I keep the books." "So you're looking at them, huh?" "Hmm?" "We look at every place, at everybody." "Hmm." ""Hmm" meaning what?" "No, nothing." "It's just..." "Who knew he'd worth more dead than alive?" "You mean life insurance?" "Uh-huh." "Thank you." "Well, this policy's less than three months old." "Did Mrs. Wale take it out?" "Connie?" "No." "She's not the beneficiary." "Melanie is." "The sister." "Well, what's it worth?" "$2 million." "If you know where they are, you need to tell me." "SAC PD's got a manhunt going." "Jane and Danny could get arrested or shot." "They're survivors." "They're gonna do okay." "Jane will get fired from the CBI." "Oh, no." "This job is all he has." "If he's arrested, they'll take that from him." "I'm his friend." "I can help." "Ms. Lisbon," "They just took off." "We don't know where they went." "You swear?" "I swear." "My sister..." "Was the only good, clean honest thing that I had in my life..." "And you ran off with her." "You took her away from me, away from what she knew, so..." "You know, yeah, I've been mad at you, very mad." "I didn't-- I didn't take her away." "She didn't--she didn't want the Carny life." "She hated it." "She wanted to get out." "We--we both did." "And you know how hard that is." "That was--that was our thing." "That's what we did together." "We--we--we escaped together." "Nice escape plan, bro." "You got her killed." "Thanks for reminding me." "Yeah, you just had to be a big shot, had to get on the tv and run your mouth." "It's your fault she's dead." "Yes." "It is." "I know that." "It is my fault." "And I just" "I hope that one day, you will, uh, forgive me." "And maybe one day I'll forgive myself." "Forgive you?" "Not for my sake." "For yours." "Because hating me is just a waste of your energy." "It's pointless." "Just move on." "Drop it." "Find something to love." "Love?" "Man, you really have changed." "Yeah." "I don't-- I don't know if I..." "I don't require an answer, Danny." "I just..." "You got something in your eye?" "I got allergies." "It's..." "Oh?" "It's pollen." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "Landon Wale." "Yeah." "Yeah, Landon." "Boy..." "There's a mark." "He was so hot to get taken." "He called me that night and wanted to move up the action." "When I got there, he was dead." "That's it." "I did not kill him." "What was the action?" "Landon was supposed to bring me the gold statue-- not to give to me, just to show me, you know, to prove he had the collateral to invest in my hedge fund coup." "And this mook was hooked deep." "Thought he was flying to Brazil with his hot assistant and all the money." "Brazil--I like it." "Old school." "Yeah." "He had it all mapped out, little place on the beach, a fishing boat." "Perfect mark." "Hey." "To suckers." "Gotta love 'em." "Don't move." "Keys." "Go on." "Jane!" "Jane!" "Jane, it's me." "Hey, Lisbon." "Excellent work finding us." "I am very unhappy with you." "Is he in there?" "Yeah." "Bring him out." "No funny business, or I will shoot to kill." "You're very persuasive." "We'll be right out." "Ms. Anders, thanks for coming in." "Sure." "Uh, what's this about?" "Uh, the insurance policy." "We, uh, have a few questions." "Policy?" "Oh, for Landon." "Sure." "You know, it's common to have a key man policy for small businesses." "I'm sure you can straighten things out." "We have some, uh, paperwork to take care of." "Check here and here." "Sign here." "Thanks for the call, Agent Lisbon." "My pleasure." "We have a deal?" "Yeah, we'll forget about your lies and incompetence." "All right, up against the car." "Get your hands behind your..." "Hey." "What?" "Wait." "Hey." "Hands behind the back." "Wait." "You said we could work it out if I came in, not him." "I got no deal with him." "It's for the best, Danny." "It's for the best." "We've all gotta get out from underneath it sometime." "You bastard!" "Sorry." "Aah!" "God." "You son of a bitch!" "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "Take it easy." "I'll kill you!" "I'll kill you!" "I will kill you!" "Did you have to be so rough with him?" "Don't tell me how to do my job." "I mean, your bedside" "You're lucky I'm not taking in you." "All right, both of you-- are you threatening me?" "I'm not threatening anybody." "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have him are you delusional?" "You blocked the investigation every step of the way." "You spat on me." "Hey, that's enough." "That's enough." "You want to go in with him?" "Say the word." "I'd be hap-- oh!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "...This whole investigation." "You stood" "Lisbon!" "Lisbon!" "Hi." "This is police business." "Patrick Jane." "I'm with the CBI." "Yes, I saw you there, when the killer escaped." "Yeah." "It was horrible, Connie." "Terrible story." "Yeah, well, I'd like to speak to Ms. Wale alone, please." "It's very important." "Thank you." "This is awkward, but we have reason to believe that Danny Ruskin has every intention of killing you." "Me?" "Yes, you." "He has a violent temper and several convictions to prove it, including shooting and killing a man ten years ago." "But why would he want to hurt me?" "He figured it out." "Oh, I-I'm sorry." "That you killed your own husband and in doing so, ruined Danny Ruskin's life." "What?" "Mr. Jane, that's an outrageous charge." "Yes, one I almost didn't believe myself until meeting you just now." "Then it became glaringly obvious you have deep-seated control issues mixed in with jealousy and your own weird lust for violence." "Landon was gonna take the money and run away with that leggy assistant." "What's her name?" "Shut up." "Landon loved me." "No, he didn't, and you know he didn't." "Hell, maybe you even knew that he was headed off to Brazil with her, but what you didn't know, Mrs. Wale, is that Landon was being played." "He was being conned by no one other than Danny Ruskin." "And when Landon took your Aphrodite statue, you assumed he was gonna give it to the mistress." "Your honeymoon gift-- the very symbol of your love for each other." "So you followed Landon to where you thought he was gonna meet with that statuesque strumpet, and you killed him." "Then you took what you thought was rightfully yours." "That's ridiculous." "Oh." "That Ruskin character killed Landon." "Where is the statue now, Concetta?" "Huh?" "Uh, hey, wait!" "Wait!" "You can't go in there!" "Oh, look at this." "You could land a jumbo jet in here." "Landon wasn't big on the, uh, subtlety, was he?" "Probably why you knew he was having an affair." "You must leave, Mr. Jane..." "Right now." "You bitch." "Aah!" "And you." "Easy." "Christmas came early this year." "Oh!" "Oh, Danny, another gun?" "Come on." "Really?" "What--just..." "None of this would have happened except for you." "You ruined everything." "Okay, listen." "Danny, you don't have to do this." "Shut up!" "Okay, listen to me." "You're not this person." "Okay?" "You're not this person." "Look-- you backstabbed me!" "I trusted you." "You think I'm a mark?" "You think you can run games on me?" "!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Oh." "Oh, my God." "You shot me." "Son of a bitch." "What'd you do that for?" "Oh, my God." "Patrick." "Patrick." "Bastard." "No." "No." "No, no, no, no." "You made me shoot him." "No, no." "No, please." "This is your fault." "No." "This is your fault!" "God!" "You ruined my life!" "You deserve this, bitch." "Your ruined my life." "I could have had everything!" "Okay, I can fix it!" "I'll fix it." "I swear." "Money." "So much money, you can go to Switzerland." "You can go anywhere you want." "Yeah?" "You don't have to kill me, okay?" "Look, I can prove it." "Yeah?" "Go!" "Oh!" "Okay." "Okay." "Okay." "This is worth a lot of money." "Take it." "It's yours." "Take it!" "Ha!" "Connie, Connie, Connie." "You fell for the oldest gag in the book." "Huh?" "And one of the cheapest" "$3.55 at a novelty store near you." "Beats the hell out of the cackle bladder." "You got a little..." "Mmm." "A l--a little..." "Kind of minty." "How are my teeth?" "They're good?" "That was great, huh?" "Concetta Wale, you're under arrest." "Turn around." "Put your hands behind your back." "Turn around." "I'll take that." "You..." "Come on." "Let's go." "SAC PD want to talk to you about Landon Wale and K-Ram." "There are some fraud charges pending." "Fraud is very hard to prove, especially when nothing changed hands." "In fact, now that I think of it," "I'm actually innocent here." "Whatever." "They're on their way." "I believe she's telling you to scram." "That's not what I said." "Thank you, Lisbon." "I didn't hear that." "Thank you, Lisbon." "I can't hear anything." "So..." "This is it, huh?" "It's nice." "Classy." "They'd like it, I guess, if they had a preference." "You know, this is the first time I've been here since the funeral." "Why is that?" "Because they're not here." "Hey, who knows for sure?" "Maybe they're up there right now, looking down at us." "You know, Annie's saying, "lighten up, you dummies."" "Yeah, maybe." "Eesh." "I'm sorry I asked to come." "Who knew a trip to the cemetery would be such a downer?" "Sorry." "It's irrational." "No reason to be sad." "You gonna give 'em those flowers or what?" "Guilt is for marks." "You know that, right?" "Yeah."

"The Vampire and Lycan clans had been at war for centuries before I was born," "their conflict hidden from the human world." "I was turned by a Vampire." "Given the strength to avenge my family against the Lycans." "And I was good at it." "Then I found Michael Corvin," "a human that was turned to neither Vampire nor Lycan," "but a hybrid of the two." "Everything changed." "Allies turned enemies, and the Vampire elders I had protected for over six centuries wanted me dead." "We retaliated, killed the elders," "and for a moment of time we were safe." "But then a new darkness arose." "In the nine days since the first discovery of the non-human species, scores of so-called "covens" have been uncovered." "Estimates of the number of infected have skyrocketed." "Military sources confirm that the primary measures of defense against the non-humans are ultraviolet light and silver, to which the infected appear to have fatal sensitivity." "Tents are posted at every barricade throughout the city." "A test will be administered to verify if you're clear of infection." "Spray her!" "Spray her with silver!" " Get it out here!" " Help!" "Run!" "No, no!" "Run!" "We've begun our second attack wave using ultraviolet and silver-nitrate munitions, which are deadly to the infected." "Due to the volatile situation, martial law was declared two hours ago." "Many of us have lost loved ones to this." "Please know that you cannot help them or yourself." "It's shocking that not one but two distinct species may have been coexisting within human populations." "The existence of Vampires and Werewolves now appear to have actual basis in fact." "The city remains reluctant to share new information." "We are getting reports on what appears to be a mass cleansing." "Fire!" "Get back!" "No cameras!" "There's no cure." "There it is!" "Engage contact!" " Man down!" "Man down!" " Cover me!" "The Purge." "Human beings no longer kill each other." "We are the enemy they've been waiting for." "Escape has become our only chance of survival." "Therefore," "Michael and I are leaving tonight." "Halt!" "Delta 6 in pursuit!" "Stop!" "Get down on the ground!" "She'll be here any minute." " You be ready to go." " Better hurry." "Tango Unit moving into position." "We have the hybrid in sight." "Hold your fire." "Leave this one alive." "Delta in position." " Watch your flank." " Secure." "Move, move, move!" "Alpha Unit in position." "Arming silver grenade!" "Michael!" "Fire!" " Move in!" " Alpha 4, move in." "Grenades, fire!" "Retrieve the bodies." "Subject 2 has escaped." "Security units on alert." "Subject 2 has escaped." "Security units on alert." "Subject 2 has escaped." "Security units on alert." "Subject 2 has escaped." "Security units on alert." "Subject 2 has escaped." "Security units on alert." "Subject 2 has escaped." "Security units on alert." "Defrost sequence initiated." "Lowering compression in Subject 1 cryo-chamber." "Look out!"

"Subject 2 escaped, it's in the building." "We've got Subject 1 in full lockdown." " Give me the status." " Subject 1 has broken free." "We need to flash-burn immediately." "No, wait." "Let me see." "Open it." "Put it back to sleep." "Hurry." "Releasing maximum dose of fentanyl." "What is this place?" "Where's Michael?" "No, no, no." "No, no, no." "All non-security personnel clear the building!" "Security command, outside now!" " There she is!" " Stop!" "Don't move!" "Multiple casualties on Level 6!" "Medical to alert status!" "Prepare for full containment on Level 6!" "I repeat, full containment on Level 6!" "I see her." "East corridor." "Send security." "No." "Let her go." "She'll lead us to Subject 2." "No, don't shoot!" "Let her go." "Attention, all units." "Subject 1 and Subject 2 have escaped the perimeter and are no longer under Antigen control." "Secure the outer gates and use extreme caution upon encounter." "Report immediately upon coming into contact..." "Hey, how did you get in there?" "You're not allowed in here." "The pier is closed." "Since when?" "A long time ago. (Some on." "How long?" "About 12 years ago." "Since the cleansing." "Why?" "You okay, ma'am?" "Attention, all units, code three call." "Receiving a report of an assault, Exit 39 underpass." "Possible non-human aggressor." "Proceed with caution." "CDC already en route." "All area units respond." "Ma'am?" "Hey!" "Ma'am?" " What are you doing?" " Stay there!" "Don't move!" " Identify yourself!" " Get back here right now!" "Whoever it is, they couldn't have made it very far." "I'll alert CDC to keep an eye out." "They're en route." "There's no way this attack was human." "You don't know that." "Don't know what?" "The guy's shredded." "His throat was in the gutter." "Just let me handle it." "What's to handle?" "This has Lycan written all over it." "Detective, when was the last time you heard about a reported Lycan killing?" "A couple years ago." "How many years have you been with this department?" "What?" "I've been here for three months." "Exactly." "You question me less until you know a bit more." "We clear?" "Crystal." "Detective Sebastian." "Detective, we've just received a report." "There's been a disturbance at Antigen Labs." "A witness says there was an escape." "They said someone jumped out of a window." "This is a priority investigation." "We need you over there ASAP." "We're on our way." "Hey, let's go." "Johnson, you're the lead." "You got it, detective." "Will do." "Who's in charge?" "There's a Detective Sebastian here to see you, sir." "Where is he?" "In the lobby, sir." "You'll be relieved to know the situation is well under control." "What happened?" "I repeat, well under control." "I repeat, what happened?" "Ah, yes, there are reports to be filed." "One of our test subjects attempted to escape." "We were forced to put it down." "So nothing got out?" "Only a stray bullet." "And the test subject?" "Flash-burned." "Will that be all?" "A few things to attend to." "You could imagine." "Doctor, we received an anonymous call that something else escaped through a window." "Detective, our mission at Antigen is to develop ways of preventing infection, not releasing it into the general population." "I lost my son to this disease." "There's no room for error with me when it comes to the safety of the public." "If something had escaped, the authorities would have been notified." "You are an authority, are you not?" "Now, if you'll excuse me..." "The guy in charge says it's nothing." "Let's go." "Yeah, and he's full of shit." "Look at this." "Want me to report it, sir?" "No." "I'll do it." "I don't mind." "I can do it for you." "All right, sir." "The prisoner that helped me escape, the one you called Subject 2, was it a hybrid?" "Yes." "What were you doing with us?" "We..." "We help the government identify the infected." "We were using your DNA to try to find a cure to prevent another outbreak." "You were told that I would lead you to the hybrid." "Why?" "Subject 2 is restricted information." "I don't have the clearance." "You're lying." "No!" "Aah!" "No, please!" "All I know is there's a connection between you." "Your brain waves fall into sync when you're close to each other." "You can see through each other's eyes!" "Please don't!" "I'm the one who let you go!" "Now we're even." "What the hell was that?" "Creepy is what." "I'm calling it in." "Let's go." "Shit." "Doni." "Why not?" "We're the same." "Why are you following me?" "We monitor the police frequencies." "Well?" "Do you know what attacked that human under the bridge?" "No." "Lycans." "What remains of them, yes." "They've been hiding down here like rats since the Purge." "Diseased and starving, they rarely show themselves above ground." "Which means that something has got them riled up." "Something you're not telling me." "Michael!" "Do you know her?" "No." "They will come back in numbers." "We can't leave her here." "Come on." "Let's try the van." "Get in." "Move!" "Move!" "Three of them behind us." "Go!" "Hurry, Selene!" "They're getting in the back!" "Fucking piece of shit!" "The girl!" "They're taking her!" "You drive." "She's not healing." "We have a doctor that can help her at our coven." "How did you find me?" "What's your name?" "Subject 2." "And you are Subject 1." "I freed you." "Do you not know who I am?" "They told me that I had no mother, that she died when I was born." "I never believed it." "I..." "I felt you." "Saw images through your eyes." "But then someone outside my door, they said since I was no longer a child, the wait was over," "that I'd be dead soon." "And that my own mother, right next door, would never even know I'd existed." "What did they tell you of your father?" "They must have told you something." "Do you see images through him?" "No." "Only you." "No, please!" "She's never stepped foot outside the lab." "How can she possibly survive?" "I understand the risk of reporting her escape to the authorities." "No record of her birth." "Questions will be asked." "I'm well aware of that." "But if she dies, all our years of research..." "Rather than tell me how to do my job, why not take a look at your own professional conduct?" "And how your continual need to endow this creature with human traits has led to the laxness of its security protocols." "It's not a human being, Lida!" "It's not your child." "It's not to be coddled." "It's a blight of nature." "Stop worrying." "It'll come back to us." "Get Olivia at once." "Again you break my rules." "Why?" "She was attacked." "She is not healing." "And for this you compromise our safety?" "You have no reason to fear us." "Do you think I'm foolish enough to take you at your word?" "No reason to fear a Death Dealer who fell in love with a Lycan, who murdered two of our elders, and who, at every turn, has betrayed her own kind." "Do you know who this is?" "Yes." "But it was we who betrayed her, Father." "Let her through." "She's not healing." "She was attacked by a lower Lycan." "Two hours ago." "Her cell repair is active but weakened." "She has no origin bite marks" "or scars." "I've never seen a child like this before." "When did you last feed?" "Feed?" "Give her blood." "Child, you must." "Slowly." "Slowly." "There." "There, now." "She's healing." " And quickly." " Good." "Take her to my room." "She needs to rest." "No." "Look at the eyes." "I never believed it." "They do exist." "This is not one of us." "No, it's something more, Father." "What do you know of her?" "I was held captive at a place called Antigen." "One of the other prisoners freed me." "I believed it was Michael Corvin the only hybrid I knew existed at that time." "Yes, yes, your Lycan lover, long dead." "What is this, then?" "None of your concern." "As soon as she regains her strength, I will leave with her." "I used to hear stories of the Death Dealers." "That they were a thing of the past, never to return." "I'm glad they were wrong." "You knew who I am... and yet you still brought me here." "Thank you." "You're a fighter." "We could use more like you to teach us." "I'm not sure your father would agree." "There was a time when he would have." "That's why he dislikes you so much." "I think it reminds him of the days when he defended us with fire and steel rather than hollow words." "He knows how much we need you." "I'm not a leader." "But you fight for what you believe in." "You always have." "I don't know what I believe in any more." "I don't recognize this world." "But you haven't changed." "I saw it in your eyes when you looked at the child." "You will protect her." "It's in your blood." "It's who you are." "When you leave, take me with you." "You distrust me." "Of course you do." "I made you feel unwelcome." "And for that, I'm sorry." "Ah." "Those eyes, they're special." "I know exactly what you are." "My father says that, should we survive as a species, these relics will help our descendants know who we were and how we lived." "And what do you say?" "That if we continue to live as we do now, then we disgrace the past and don't deserve a future." "We must resist the humans wherever and whenever possible." "Between the first and second Purges," "Lycan youth rallied in the same way against the prudence of their elders." "Their calls for violent action carried the day." "The result?" "The Werewolves are nearly extinct." "Is that what you wish for us, extinction?" "Yet you bring her offspring into our home." "Do you honestly believe the humans will allow her to remain free?" "They will hunt her down at any expense." " Then we can help protect them." " Protect them?" "They leave tonight." "This isn't prudence." "This is cowardice, plain and simple." "How dare you?" "How dare you do so little?" "I dreamt of the day we would meet." "Like a silly little girl." "You're as cold as one already dead." "Yesterday" "I was with your father." "He was only a little further away from me than you are now." "I went to sleep." "And when I awoke the next day," "I learned that, overnight," "12 years had passed." "And instead of the only man I've ever loved, there stood a girl with his eyes." "My heart is not cold." "It's broken." "I'm so sorry." "What is it?" "They're here." "Stay here." "Wait for me." "No, take me with you." "Please." "I won't let anyone hurt you." "I promise." "Lock the door." "Everybody to the shelter." "Now!" "No!" "Prepare the armory." "Do as I say!" "Go, 90!" "Pay heed to me!" "No!" "We stand and we fight." "No!" "Have you no sense?" "Stop this now!" "We lived safely for years and you brought humans into this coven." "They want the girl." "They'll stop at nothing to get her." "This day was bound to come, with or without us." "Let's move!" "Munitions, let's go!" "Everyone!" "Are you mad?" "We have no more than a handful of fighters." "We will be annihilated!" "And what's your plan, Father?" "Let's go!" "Now!" "Where are you going?" "To get her away from here." "He's right." "I shouldn't have come." "He doesn't understand." "The humans will follow us out." "Hold them off till then." "They're only here for her." "She's more powerful than any of us." "They fear the day she discovers it." "I have to get her out of here." "Lycan!" "Silver ammunition!" "Now!" "Defend the second rotunda!" "Move!" "Move!" "Open the door!" "Let's go." "Move!" "Move!" "We need to go." "What the hell was that?" "Take her somewhere safe." "No." "Take her." "Go." "Where is she?" "They took her." "They accepted her." "As a gift from me." "Do you know what you've done?" "Do you have any idea?" "What would you have had me do?" "Fight to the last to protect the very one who brought this upon us?" "We're defeated." "Our coven is destroyed." "My son is dead." "Because of you." "Why?" "Because he helped that child of yours." "If they kill her, so be it." "Your son died because he was fighting for all of you." "Because he knew that running is not survival." "Those were Lycans." "Not extinct." "More powerful than ever." "That thing was more than twice the size of any Lycan I've seen." "They risked showing themselves after more than a decade in hiding because of her." "And you handed her over to them." "She is the last direct descendant of Alexander Corvinus." "The only hybrid child that has ever existed." "Whatever it is the Lycans want from her, your son knew it was worth dying for." "What are you doing?" "David." "A force of two dozen Lycans attacked and destroyed one of our covens last night." "You're not surprised." "You knew the Lycans were not extinct." "How?" "Just a feeling." "I'm not good with feelings." "I want to know how." "This is not the place for this." "And you're not gonna kill me." "Really?" "No." "Because you wouldn't need a fucking gun to do it." "A few years ago, the government declared "mission accomplished" on Lycans." "The feds announced that we were to only focus on your kind now." "Three months ago, a friend of mine sent me this." "It arrived two days after he was found hanging from his own ceiling fan." "Two hundred suspected Lycan captures." "Every case was investigated." "Every blood test came back negative." "My friend began to wonder:" "Were they all false leads or was someone trying to protect the Lycans?" "Helping them replenish their packs, letting them regroup." "What about your own department?" "They have my daughter." "All I care about is getting her back." "If you're protecting someone, I don't care." "I'm not after them." "I just want her." "No." "Even if there are others in my department, they wouldn't have the authority." "This goes much higher." "I believe, all the way to the top." "Or to the bottom." "What do you mean?" "Who administers the tests?" "We're a bit short on time, so if you please, take a look at these." "This schedule takes you from the moment we adjourn through to the final manufacture of the vaccine." "If we stick to this plan, inoculations should begin within three months." "Any questions, now's the time." "After today's surgery, there will be no communication between us until we meet again in the inoculation center." "Doctor, in terms of your test subject, he continues to demonstrate immunity to silver?" "Absolutely." "And additional inoculations, administered only as a precaution, triggered side effects we never imagined." "Vast increases in strength, muscle mass, self-healing." "Stamina." "You said she was essential to our research." " Yes, and will continue to be." " How?" "By vivisecting her?" "You weren't meant to have that." "I cared for this little girl all these years, and you expect me to sit by while you..." "Harvest its genetic material?" "I expect nothing from you." "I hired you to look after it, and for the most part, you did an excellent job." "Saving the lives of thousands." "What are you talking about?" "An entire species saved from extinction." "Jacob." "After today, you won't have to wait so long between injections." "Are you sure she's ready?" "Estrogen levels high, intervals between menses holding steady." "It's come of age." "Everything's worked out just as we'd hoped." "You're the first proof of it." "I'm proud of you, son." "Now that it's with us again, we'll have all the genetic material we need, ready for cloning." "Enough to produce an endless supply of vaccine." "Imagine." "Our species immune to silver." "No more hiding." "Every Lycan under our command as powerful as you are." "I've even begun injecting myself." "I only wish Mother were here to see it." "Your mother chose to remain human." "She abandoned us." "Remember that." "Of course, Father." "Look, if you're right about Antigen, who knows how many Lycans will be hiding in there?" "The second you step foot inside, you'll be surrounded." "I'm hoping so." "I know you want her back." "I can help you." "Why?" "Just tell me what your plan is." "It's worse if you try to fight it." "Trust me." "So how is it you're actually able to survive in the sunlight?" "It was a gift." "From a man named Alexander Corvinus." "The founding father." "I used to be married, to a nurse." "One day at work, she was bitten." "Nobody knew but us." "We lived like that for a few years." "Then came the Purge." "The feds were conducting door-to-doors and when they knocked on ours... well, she told me she loved me... and then she let the sunlight in." "I had to watch her burn." "Okay." "You got me?" "Yes." "Good luck." "Shit." "It's her." "In daylight?" "It's her!" " Go!" " Okay." "Wait for my cue." "I'm ready." "Ops Code A. Repeat, Ops Code A. Breach on Level 1." "Intruder ascending in Elevator 4." "I want all levels ready on that elevator now!" "Anesthesia ready?" "Yes, sir." "Good." "Security units on alert." "Ops Code A. Intruder on premises." "Secure the east wing." "All units, intruder's ascending in the elevator." "Come on." "Let's go." "Move!" "There's your cue." "Copy." "They're using silver-nitrate gas." "Bombs on all the floors." "It's Subject 1." "We need to evacuate." "Fine." "Start a propofol infusion." "We're not canceling this procedure, understood?" "We're moving it." "You find her and you destroy her." "With pleasure." "I'm here." "I got movement on a van in." "Parking Level 3." "No sign of the girl." "They'll be on the move." "Just don't lose them." "She's in the service elevator." "Get her." "I'm coming down." "Selene." "Selene!" "They're heading for Parking Level 2." "Selene." "I need to know where you are!" "Ah, shit!" "Do you copy?" "Selene, where are you?" "I see her." "I see her." "Parking Level 2." "They're loading her into the van." "Selene, where are you?" "Fuck it." "Hold it right there!" "Stop!" "Stop now!" "Michael?" "Get her!" "Take her out!" "Selene, Lane has her in the van." "They're on the move." "Where are you?" "They are leaving with her!" "Do you hear me?" "I'm on my way." "Come on, faster." "Don't stop." "Hit him!" "Selene, they're heading for Parking Level 1." "Aah!" "Selene, they're getting away on Parking Level 1." "Do you copy?" "I'm coming." "Everything okay?" "Levels are holding stable, sir." "Baseline vitals..." "Fuck you." "Get away from her!" "It's worse if you try to fight it." "Trust me." "I heal instantly." "I'm counting on it." "You came back for me." "I said I would." "Selene." "You should go." "There's a safe house not far from here." "Go." "I'll send them on a different path, buy you some time." "Thank you." "Come on." "David." "Are we going back in?" "We are." "What is it?" "Michael?" "The roof." "Though the world has changed, our enemy remains the same." "The Lycans will rebuild." "And will hunt for her father as they did for her." "But as they grow stronger, so will we." "The Vampire coven will not only survive this world, we will reclaim it."

"Why?" "Why is this still under discussion?" "I don't like him." "I don't care who he knows." "We're supposed to trust him with our products." "Big man." "Big Generalissimo!" "Big fry cook is more like it." "The "Chicken Man."" "You will do what you want." "But you have my vote." "Never trust a South American." "Dirty, dirty people." "He broke my toy!" "He broke my toy!" "He was just having fun." "You'll get over it." "No!" "I hate him!" "I wish he was dead!" "Marco." "Grab your old uncle a beer, would you?" "No, no." "A cold one." "This is what you wanted." "Your brother dead." "Right?" "You're going to have to try harder than that if you want to save him." "How much longer do you think he has down there?" "One minute?" "Maybe more?" "Maybe less?" "Family is all." "Hey, you got nothing on me, yo." "All right, you can call my lawyer, Saul Goodman." "Talk to my lawyer, all right?" "You hear me?" "I got nothing to say." "I told you, you can call my..." "Christ!" "You got my cell phone number, my wife's name!" "How did you do it?" "Talk!" "Who you working with?" "!" "Yes, sir." "If you're ready to talk they wanna get a statement." "Your side of what happened here." "Or we can hold them off till another time." "Maybe you wanna talk to a lawyer." "There it is." "Yo, Adrian." "Rocky called, he wants his face back." "Come on, I gotta cheer you up." "You see that?" "That's your get-out-of-jail-free card." "You understand get-out-of-jail-free card?" "I mean, just blink once if you're following." "The DEA's worst nightmare is that face out in public." "They'll have to steer a wide berth of young Master Pinkman for fear of the PR poop storm that will rain down on them if this story ever gets out." "I mean, this beating?" "Best thing for you." "You're home free." "Good, right?" "Right." "Oh, my God." "You're now the cute one of the group." "Paul, meet Ringo." "Ringo, Paul." "This is..." "I..." "Jesse, I'm..." "I am so sorry for this." "This should not have happened." "But it did." "No thanks to you." "But the plan did work." "We would've been locked up right now if we didn't lure him away." "But this..." "This..." "I just..." "I never saw this coming." "So..." "What...?" "What happens now?" "What happens now?" "I'll tell you what happens now." "Your scumbag brother-in-law is finished." "Done." "You understand?" "I will own him when this is over." "Every cent he earns every cent his wife earns is mine." "Anyplace he goes anywhere he turns I'm gonna be there grabbing my share." "He'll be scrubbing toilets in Tijuana for pennies and I'll be standing over him to get my cut." "He'll see me when he wakes up and when he crawls to sleep in whatever rat hole is left for him after I shred his house down." "I will haunt his crusty ass forever until the day he sticks a gun up his mouth and pulls the trigger just to get me out of his head." "That's what happens next." "My advice:" "That's probably not a good strategy." "They're scared of you right now." "They want nothing to do with you." "But if you hit them they're forced to hit back hard." "I mean, they will turn over every rock hither, thither and yon until someone spills the beans on you and anyone associated with you present company included." "Yes, I think what Saul is saying makes a lot of sense." "Jesse, move on with your life." "Leave it behind, all of it." "Nothing changes once I walk out of here." "I get myself a new RV and go start cooking again." "How exactly do you think you're going to get away with that?" "They will catch you." " So what?" " What?" "I have a get-out-of-jail-free card." "Hey, I may have overstated the power of your face." "Not this." "If the cops catch me I give them what they want the most." "You." "They nab me I make a deal to give up the great Heisenberg and his million-dollar drug ring." "You're my free pass bitch." "You're so sure." "Look, if he didn't give up my name while Hank was beating him he's never going to talk." "What do you think that was, a bluff?" "He wants your brother-in-law." "And there's gonna be lawyers creaming their Underoos for a case like that." "I'd take it myself if it wouldn't cause so much collateral damage." "And him cooking again?" "Hey, when, not if, he gets caught, and he's facing 20 years what'll he do then?" "Believe me, there's no honour among thieves." "Except for us, of course." "No, he'll..." "He'll come around." "And if he doesn't there may come a time to talk options." "Options?" "I'm convinced Mr. Pinkman was involved in the manufacture and distribution of phenyl-2 methamphetamine specifically what we call the blue meth." "I tracked him to a scrap yard where he stored an early-'80s camper an RV." "While waiting for a warrant to search this vehicle which I believe to be a rolling meth lab I received a telephone call telling me my wife Marie had been injured in an accident." "Upon hearing the news I left Mr. Pinkman and his vehicle to tend to my wife." "Arriving at the hospital, I learned the emergency call was a hoax." "My wife, fortunately, was unharmed." "So I immediately went back to the salvage yard, but the RV was gone." "Most likely destroyed on site." "And it was at this point you drove to the home of Jesse Pinkman?" "I think we're done here." "Agent Schrader needs to get home get some rest." "That's fine." "But just to confirm, you're taking the Fifth here?" "Yeah, that's correct." "Okay." "Well we just wanna give you all a heads up." "Mr. Pinkman is pressing charges in this matter." "He's given a detailed version of events as he sees them." "The word of a meth head." "We know all about his history." "We're well aware, but toxicology on Pinkman..." "His blood is clean, he's not using." "The kid is even refusing his doctor-ordered pain meds far as we can tell." "So where do we go from here?" "A couple of gentlemen from OPR will come down probably tomorrow morning." "Janice will give us an exact time." "And you men will be continuing your investigation, so..." " Thanks for your time." " Right." "We just..." "We need one more thing." "A photo of Agent Schrader's hands." "For the record." "Yes, of course." "Bandage off, if you would." "On the table is fine." "Flat on the table." "That's fine." "It's all gonna work out." "You've been too good to them for too many years." "I hope it goes without saying we're not talking to anybody about this, okay?" "Okay." "Marie who?" "Hi." "Do you have a minute?" "Sure." "I guess crime does pay." "I don't suppose you just came by to insult me." "No." "We need to talk." "You heard about Hank?" "About what happened with this Jesse Pinkman?" "Yes, I know." "Whatever Hank was investigating him trying to find an RV is there any danger that could lead back to you?" "No." "Why would it?" "Is this why you're here?" "I'm here to talk about Hank." "You know what's gonna happen to him if this Pinkman presses charges?" "Hank could lose everything." "I thought maybe there's a way you could help him." "How?" "Contact Pinkman." "Get him to drop the charges." "I don't know what kind of relationship you picture me having with this person." " I'm not asking." " He was..." "He's..." "He's not my friend." " It's not as if we were even close." " I'm..." "I'm not asking." "But there must be something you could say." "Isn't it even worth a try?" "Hank is your family." "Not currently." "What?" "I said, not currently." "I'm late." "I have to go." "Hello." "I was starting to get worried." "Car trouble." "Oh, that's a bummer." "You should call me next time." "I'll pick you up." "No sandals today?" "I just thought..." "A bit more professional." "Well, everything is on track." "We got our distillate." "Just waiting to..." "Let's get our trays ready." " Clean, no moisture." " Done." "Is our...?" "Our solvent filtered?" "I thought you might ask that." "Done." "That's good." "That's good." "Hand in glove, that's what we strive for." "You know, this might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship." "So you the gentlemen?" "Lucky you boys caught me, I got a load to pick up in Memphis." "I can hammer it out in about 15, but there's this girl, Lolly." "Maybe Fran." "She's got this fetish, she likes to get peed on." "I was hoping to see her tonight but she wants to sleep before 10 so I wanna wrap it up here ASAP because traffic can be a wild card." "Thing is, women who like to get peed on tend to be from the warmer climates." "You'd think the ones in colder zones would be more inclined." "Maybe it's a shock if the body's not acclimated but, you know, I leave that for smarter minds than me." "Science is a mystery." "Well, take a gander." "Prices are negotiable." "Buying in bulk gets you a discount." "I'm running a special on these honeys." "JHPs." "Hollow-point bullets, known as Black Death." "Check it out." "Like that?" "So sweet, you wanna lick it." "Nickel-plated brass casing, Lubalox coat." "Sucker has six razor claws that expand upon impact:" "Shred your mama's head like a cabbage." "Keep it." "On the house." "But I been windjamming enough." "Tell me what you're looking for, what it is you need." "Vests." "Vests?" "Hell, yeah, we got vests." "Right here." "Sleek, comfortable, thermally bonded, non-interwoven Kevlar fibre." "Stop a bullet like a soft wang against a Quaker girl." "Ain't getting through." "And lightweight?" "So lightweight, you'll forget you're wearing it." "They work?" "Sure as shit, they do." "I don't leave home without it." "What the hell?" "You broke my freaking rib, you maniac son of a bitch." "You're welcome!" "Gale." "What temperature did you set here?" "Here?" "Station five, 75 C." "I said 85." "Eight-five." "I wrote it down." "You said 75." " I wrote it." " Well, you wrote it wrong." "That's not what I said." "I said 85." "It's always been 85." "Not 75." "Not 95." "Eighty-five." "This is chemistry." "Degrees matter." "I'm sorry." "I'm very sorry." "Great." "You're sorry, meanwhile you've just brewed 50 gallons of useless sludge." "Congratulations." "Just dump it." "Dump it all." "This batch is ruined." "You look nice." "I look like a TV weatherman." "You want a coffee?" "No." "I squeezed some orange juice." "You want a glass of orange juice?" "I'm all right." "What are you gonna tell them?" "Here's what you'll tell them." "He attacked you." " He attacked me?" " He swung at you with something." " Swung at me?" " He attacked you with a pipe." "A pipe." "It happened fast." "He resisted arrest and muscle memory kicked in and you had to disarm him." "Muscle memory." "Happens all the time." "Years of training, your body acted faster than your brain." "You had no choice but to hit him." " You had to fight back." " Marie, Marie, Marie." "No." "I'm not gonna go in there and lie." "It's some lowlife degenerate versus you doing the job you're supposed to." "Why should you be the one who pays for doing the right thing?" "Oh, baby, it wasn't the right thing." "It's not what the job is." "I'm supposed to be better than that." "And you made one mistake." "No, it wasn't one mistake." "I've been..." "I've been unravelling, you know?" "I don't sleep at night anymore." "I freeze." "I freeze up." "My chest gets all tight." "I can't breathe." "Just..." "I panic." "Ever since that Salamanca thing." "I mean, Tuco Salamanca." "If ever a scumbag deserved a bullet between the eyes..." "It changed me." "And I can't seem to control it." "I tried to fight it." "But then El Paso." "And it's just gotten worse." "What I did to Pinkman that's not who I'm supposed to be." "That's not me." "All this everything that's happened, I..." "I swear to God, Marie, I think the universe is trying to tell me something and I'm finally ready to listen." "I'm just not the man I thought I was." "I think I'm done as a cop." "Now, this is not an easy decision, but it is one that I have to make." "I'm sorry." "This whole Gale situation, he's..." "He's just not working out." "Yes, now." "It may sound unorthodox but I think our first best option is Jesse Pinkman." "Hello?" "No, look." "There's a shorthand that exists between us experience together at a level that, quite frankly, I'm just never going to reach with Gale." "Look, Mr. Fring when I accepted your offer, I was told the lab is mine." "And I know best how to run it." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Yes, I will." "I will." "Okay." "Goodbye." "Listen, something's come up." "I think it's a good opportunity." "There's been a job opening." "I need a new lab assistant." "I already did my time." "Why don't you just go get yourself a monkey?" "I don't want a monkey." "I want you." "Oh, gee, thanks." "Well, not interested." "I got my own thing going on." "And nice try, saving your asshead brother-in-law." "That's not why I'm here, Jesse." "There's more." "It's more than an assistant." "Partners." "We'll be partners again." "Split everything fifty-fifty, just like before." "One-point-five million dollars each." "No." " I don't think you heard..." " I heard you fine." "I said no." "Let me understand this." "You're turning down one and a half million dollars..." "I am not turning down the money." "I am turning down you." "You get it?" "I want nothing to do with you." "Ever since I met you everything I've ever cared about is gone." "Ruined, turned to shit dead, ever since I hooked up with the great Heisenberg." "I have never been more alone." "I have nothing!" "No one!" "All right?" "It's all gone!" "Get it?" "No." "No, no." "Why...?" "Why would you get it?" "What do you even care, as long as you get what you want?" "Right?" "You don't give a shit about me." "You said I was no good." "I'm nothing!" "Why would you want me, huh?" "You said my meth is inferior, right?" "Right?" "Hey, you said my cook was garbage!" "Hey, screw you, man!" "Screw you." "Your meth is good, Jesse." "As good as mine." "Yeah." "Fifty-fifty." "Yes, fifty-fifty." "Okay." "Partners." "Good." "And this is the statement you want to give?" "Yes, sir." " Hank, you don't have to do this." " No, I..." "I do." "I'm good." "So we understand if we write it up like that, you'll sign it." "That's the way it happened." "I accept the consequences." "In the light of these facts as of this moment, you're suspended without pay." "I have to ask you to hand over your badge and your gun." "Yes, sir." "Schrader." "Hold up." "Yes, sir?" "I just wanted to tell you something." "And you didn't hear it from me." "Don't want you to get your hopes up but the word in the pipeline is Pinkman isn't pressing charges." " Why not?" " Who the hell knows?" "Maybe you have a guardian angel." "It went fine." "Well, fine means what it means, yeah." "I'll..." "I'll tell you all about it when I get home, okay?" "Yeah." "It's..." "Yeah, it's just..." "I don't know, baby, I just think..." "I think we may be okay." "Yeah." "Okay." "I love you too." " Schrader." " I need you to listen very carefully." "Two men are coming to kill you." "Come again?" "They're approaching your car." "You have one minute." "I don't get the gag, jagoff." "Who is this?" "They're coming." "Hello?" "Hey, li..." "Gomey, I don't know what that call was, but it's dumb even by your standards so call me when you get this." "Finish him." "Jesus." "No." "Too easy."

"This one is one of my favourites." "Do you have the film "Mind your own business?"" "I've never heard of that one, but I can check." "No, I don't see it here." "Is it a foreign film?" "How about "Leave my husband alone, or I'll castrate you?"" "No." "Are these Lithuanian films?" "Excuse me..." "what's going on?" "Come on, man..." "Good day." "Hi." "Are you Siggi Hlemm?" "No." "Siggi!" "How do you do." "Hello." "Here." "Vilhjálmur Johns, realtor." "Ah." "Take a seat." "I'm here because I'm having problems selling a house." "I don't know much about the real estate business." "There's so much in this world that we don't understand." "Do you believe in life after this life?" "I'd hope so." "I'm trying to start a new life right here." "I'm talking more about hauntings." "Ghosts." "This house at Hafnargata has a reputation for being haunted." "I see." "This should all be easy enough." "Sorry, what?" "What I just said." "I'm not quite sure what you want me to do." "What I said was that I need someone to stay at the house for one night, hopefully to disprove that it's haunted." "Why not just do it yourself?" "I just told you that earlier." "Weren't you listening?" "Yes I was, but I would enjoy hearing it again." "Enjoy?" "Yeah." "My wife is seriously ill and I'm in no position to leave her side, even for a single night." "You want me to repeat that?" "No no no." "But I'm sorry, I just don't have the time for this." "There are many other jobs that need my attention." "It's not my area of expertise." "I see." "You must think that I'm some sort of fool." "Not at all." "But I have the Lithuanian mafia on my back..." "Have a nice day." "Likewise." "Eat eat, you're skin and bones." "What is this?" "Old family recipe." "Sölvi Sölvason, Minister of Justice..." "Well well, if it isn't" "Ssh!" "To call this a prison for the homeless isn't just wrong, especially for the ones that will benefit from it." "It's primarily a shelter for the bottom rung of society." "It has bars and locks, yes..." "Isn't that on Hafnargata?" "Looks that way." "Does he live there?" "How would you like to spend a night in a haunted house?" "Uh... does the Pope wear a funny hat?" "What do you mean?" "Er... yeah." "Yes, I'd like to go to a haunted house." "Is Siggi in...?" "Oh, hi there." "The keys." "Right." "I admire your courage." "Right." "I'd join you if I could, but she's vomiting blood." "I hope she gets better." "That's unlikely." "What's with the get-up?" "It's just Ghostbusters." "I felt it was appropriate." "This isn't some game." "We're spying on the Minister of Justice here, not playing some role-playing game." "Why must you always rain on my parade?" "I don't even know what that means." "Mom, you'll call if anything happens." "Sure." "Have fun, boys." "But if we call it a "Start-up seminar"" "then we won't have to pay any wages." "Good thinking." "Mail me some suggestions on that and I'll pick out the best one." "Are you looking into this Siggi Hemm Hemm guy?" "Siggi Hlemm?" "I haven't had the time, so much to do..." "Get around to it, I dislike uncertainties like him." "Bye." "This is some ghost house." "There aren't even any cobwebs or anything like that." "Don't be so negative." "The stakeout is just starting." "This will be loads of fun." "Stakeout." "It's a funny word." "It would have been nice to have something creepy, like a child's cry coming from the walls." "Chairs, or something to sit on." "Can you fix that?" "Your royal chairs, your majesty." "Look, there he is." "Sölvi Sölvason, Minister of Justice." "More like the Minister of Fucking." "Even so, Another Stakeout is the better film." "It has Rosie O'Donnell in it." "I've always thought of her being underappreciated." "Many think of her being a poor actress." "She's the quintessential Big Beautiful Woman." "The time is 20:14." "Sölvi and his wife are having dinner." "Pasta, by the looks of it." "Are you listening to me?" "You never listen to what I say." "If you would ever say something I'd understand," "I might be able to have a conversation with you." "If you would stop speaking only to your dictaphone then..." "Did you hear something?" "You know... there may be something fishy in this house." "Maybe we'll discover something mindblowing." "The only fishy thing around here is across the street." "A corrupt minister isn't mindblowing enough for you?" "How are you going to expose some sort of conspiracy here?" "Maybe you're reading their lips?" "That might just be it." "We must explore every possibility." "We must explore every possibility." "Like the possibility of finding a bathroom in here." "Keep an eye out while I'm gone." "Eye." "Watch that the ghost doesn't bite you in the ass." "How was work today?" "It was rather dull." "I starred in another porno film." "Wasn't that fun?" "It was alright." "We used handcuffs and stuff." "How come you never want to do any of that stuff with me?" "Because you're so ugly, and I don't love you anymore." "I see." "Then we must file for a divorce." "Awesome, that calls for a celebration." "I'll drink the blood of innocent children because I'm so corrupt!" "Did you fall into the toilet?" "Siggi, aren't the lights supposed to be turned off...?" "Siggi?" "Are you alright?" "Come on, why did you spit on my sandwich?" "What happened?" "You came and spit on my sandwich and farted some disgusting gas..." "Anton?" "Sweetheart?" "Some junkies have moved in across the street from us." "I'm gonna shoot myself up with heroin because I dropped out of high school." "I'll smoke some crack too, because I was sexually abused." "Fucking pathetic losers." "Good day." "Good evening." "I heard that you have a large selection of V-H-S tapes." "Yes, we have one of the largest variety in the country." "Right, I came here to rent one of those." "Anything in particular?" "No, just a regular one." "We should be able to help you out with that." "Anton!" "Stop this right now!" "This isn't funny anymore." "Leave me alone!" "Stop it!" "This better be important, So You Think You Can Dance is on." "Here's a classic." "Pretty Woman." "It's about a young prostitute that..." "No thanks." "We don't want anything like that." "Do you have some kind of musical?" "I like those." "We should be able to find something." "Here's one, Moulin Rouge." "What's that one about?" "It's about a young prostitute that..." "Right, you don't want anything like that." "Yes." "What about some classic Icelandic films?" "Einkalíf!" "Here you go." "It's by Þráinn Bertelsson." "Einkalíf?" "Sounds like a dirty film." "It isn't." "It's like his earlier films, a light comedy." "Comedy?" "That's perfect." "Are you normal?" "Yeah." "But you?" "LOVE JESUS" "I think so." "Where did the ghost go?" "Maybe she gave up?" "It's probably a strain jumping between bodies." "Shouldn't we just leave?" "We have a job to do." "Let's just do like in that film you showed me." "Sacrifice a goat?" "No." "Exercise her." "Don't you have the Bible?" "The New Testament that I got for my Confirmation." "Just get out, we're not afraid of you!" "What about reciting some text in Latin?" "You do that." "What's this?" "Holy water." "There's loads of smoke here." "Anton, this isn't working out." "I think something's on fire." "Hi there." "We followed every security measure we could think of, but I'm sorry, the ghost..." "or whatever that was..." "Class 5 full phantom." "The fire, it just... it was much more powerful than we thought, and..." "I'm sorry, we couldn't control it and it..." "This is the best thing that could have happened." "I wasn't expecting this, but thanks anyway." "I'm insured for whatever may come up." "This is very good news for me." "I'm very sorry for this, we won't be charging..." "She threw up again tonight." "More than just blood." "Thanks very much, guys." "You did a terrific job." "Right, children." "It's time for a "video night"." "Be careful not to get any popcorn in the rug." "Yes, mother." "What film is this?" "It's called Einkalíf by Þráinn Bertelsson." "Thanks, Dad." "Enjoy it, sweetie." "Þráinn can be great, even though he's Left-Wing." "This is a light comedy, like his other comedy films."

"I have to prevent vulnerable children from being hurt." "I failed Lizzie Craddock." "She's missing because I'm too late." "Do you have any doubt that Dale Barge was abusing Lizzie Craddock?" "None." "Johnny Craddock, I'm arresting you in connection with the death of Dale Barge and the disappearance of Lisanne Craddock." "How did your son get these bruises?" "I don't know." " You didn't get angry with him?" " No!" "I don't know how he got them." "We need to talk about your son." "Did you run away from that home?" "I'm 16, Gramps, I walked away." "You should know this - we think it was Daniel got your sister pregnant." "He caused us so much pain." "I'll get rid of Daniel." "I'll make him go away." "Tell me the truth." " Who told you this?" " Tell me the truth!" "If I wait for evidence, it can be too late." "Silent Witness Season 18" " Episode 06" "Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd Sync:" "Marocas62" "Protection Part 2 of 2" "The victim is Daniel Garvey, 33 years old." "Police are trying to track down his wife, Niamh." "Time of death?" "I would estimate eight to ten hours ago." "Stomach contents will give us a more precise idea." " We got a weapon?" " No." "Most likely, it was a knife." "His throat was cut, it was a clean wound starting high under the ear, cutting the carotid artery." "Was that cause?" "Mmm, I'm not sure yet." "He bled out less than I'd expect." "Did you know that Dale Barge was sexually abusing your daughter?" " No." "Who's saying that?" " We are." "We're saying it." "We're sure of it." "And we think you knew." "No, I love my daughter." "That's why you killed him." "Why aren't you out looking for my little girl?" "You know where she is, don't you, Johnny?" "Why don't you help us?" "Tell us the truth." "A paedophile hurting your daughter - you did what any man would do, didn't you?" "Please, just look for Lizzie." "I don't understand why you don't just tell us?" "It's your defence - "protecting my child"." "Now, the only reason I can think of is that you and Dale were in it together." " Piss off." " Are you a paedophile, Johnny?" "They can't say that!" "You didn't mind sharing her with him though, did you?" " Where is she, Johnny?" " How does it work?" "I mean, what do you do?" "Take pictures?" "Share them with others?" "Or do you prefer to just watch while he abuses her?" "Shut your mouth!" " Did you pimp your daughter?" " That's enough." "Did you kill her?" "I would never hurt my daughter." "I think you'd better leave." "Maybe it was an accident, yeah?" "Maybe Dale went too far?" "The CPS have warned me that we don't have enough to charge him with the murder of Dale Barge." "He's not the one that's going to break." "36.4." "The majority of bruising is on the right side, just under the arm." "And this might be a little bit cold." "It's on." "I've run liver function tests" " and clotting screen." " Leukaemia?" "Platelet count is normal." " Is the spleen enlarged?" " No." " And the mother brought the child in by herself?" " Yes." "The father didn't arrive until some time later." "There appears to be appropriate bonding between parents and child." "No previous convictions." "She can't or won't explain the bruises?" "No." "The injuries are non-accidental." "Child abuse." "That baby should not leave the hospital with its parents." "Can we eliminate all other possibilities?" "They present themselves as loving parents." "Yeah, well of course, of course they do." "Trouble is they lash out - all of a sudden, they become filled with regret or they're worried they may have done their child serious harm." " So what do we do?" " Take a risk they aren't what they seem or protect the child?" "It's Fitzpatrick's law " ""The science doesn't lie, people do."" "The child's been abused." "I'll ask for an Interim Care Order." "That would be wise." "Don't discharge the baby until she's got the order." "It's possible air entered his circulation and he died of an air embolism." "That would reduce the volume of blood found." "It's a left to right draw across his throat." "You can see the abrasion from the bolster of the knife." "The assailant would have applied pressure, suggesting that he was behind the victim." "You said no-one heard screams, raised voices?" "If the blade sliced through the trachea, the only sound would have been an aspirate hiss." "To sever the windpipe, he's going to need some leverage." "The killer must have been behind him, maybe slightly to his right." "Leans forward from the back seat and cuts his throat." "There's blood outside the car." "Driver tries to raise the alarm." "Killer pushes his body back inside." "Do you think that's what he did?" "Yeah, we've got a clean hand print and some motion of the body in the car once blood was present." " The rat..." " Hamster." "Whatever - did it belong to the driver?" " We don't know." " Why is there a hamster in the car?" "To cut through both the carotid artery and the windpipe, one wound, the killer knew what they were doing." "Did Daniel know his killer?" "Did he owe money?" "Revenge?" "I don't know." "It's over to you." "I don't understand what you're accusing us of." "We have concerns about a non-accidental injury to your son." "We have a duty to investigate the situation." "Why are they doing this, Robert?" "I never hurt my son." "At present, we are concerned about the risk to your son if he were to return home with you." "We will be applying to the courts for an Interim Care Order." "Carol brought Ricky in because she was worried about him." "That's evidence of our care." "It's important that you seek legal advice and get a solicitor." "Please don't let them do this, Robert, please!" "You will be given the opportunity to challenge our recommendations." "No!" "We're not leaving here without Ricky." "We need to keep Ricky here for further observations." "You don't want to deny him the care he needs, do you?" "What if I want him moved to another hospital?" "We have a choice over his care." "For clinical reasons, I can't agree to discharge him." " We'll make sure he's safe." " I want another doctor." "I want another doctor now, do you hear me?" "I'll ask you not to threaten me." "I'm not threatening you." "I'm asking you for another doctor." "What is going on here?" "This is wrong." "Mr. Mansfield, why don't you and your wife go home?" "Right..." "come on." "I'll get a solicitor, we'll sort this out." "It's just a misunderstanding, that's all." "That's all it is." "Hey..." "See you soon, my little baby." "How far along are you?" "Jack, are you lonely?" "Is that the problem?" "Couldn't you not have got a dog or a fish?" " Or a girlfriend?" " Below the belt." "Did you have to get a rat?" "Hey, it's a hamster." "It's also evidence." "Well, you're not keeping it here." " Where are we keeping him?" " I don't care " "Nikki's office, just not here." "All right, we've got to feed him once a day" " make sure he has plenty of water." " Are you sure it's a he?" "How do you tell if it's a he or a she?" "How do you think, Jack?" "Thanks for coming." "I know you would never hurt your daughter." "You tried to take her away from me." "I was worried about Lizzie," "I need you to understand that." "We both want the same thing." "We don't want any harm to come to her." "If Johnny is responsible," "I want you to know we will protect you, but you need to tell us." "Johnny didn't do nothing." "Did you know that Dale was sexually abusing Lizzie?" "No." "When did you find out?" "I don't know." "When you told me." "We've just told you now, Cheryl." "You don't seem too surprised." "Why is that, Cheryl?" "Why don't you seem surprised?" "You're trying to trick me." "You're always trying to trick me, just like when you made me send Johnny away." "Now, we both know what kind of temper he has, perhaps he lost his temper." "Just like when you tried to take Lizzie away from me." "Please, Cheryl, don't protect him." "Just...tell us what happened." "Do you know where Lizzie is?" " No." " Does Johnny know where she is?" "I just want to be a mum." "That's all I want." "Why couldn't you let me be that?" "We have the phone records for both Cheryl and Johnny from their service provider." "They called each other repeatedly" " the night Lizzie disappeared." " They would, wouldn't they?" "Their daughter's missing." "How quickly would you report it to the police?" "A few hours, I guess?" "I'd look myself first." "She didn't report it to the police until the next day." "Can we get the physical phones?" "We've got a log of their calls, why do we need the phones?" "Cell site analysis." " Well, we've got Johnny's." " I need both." " Did Lizzie have a phone?" " Does" " DOES Lizzie have a phone?" "Her mother said she didn't have one." "I thought every kid of that age had a phone." "Hey." "How's it going?" "Good game?" " Yeah." " Yeah, looks like fun." "We didn't have mobile phones when I was a little girl." "You didn't?" "Now everyone's got them." "Yeah, you must be old." "Are you champion at that game?" "I'm almost as good as Lizzie." "Did she play on her phone or on yours?" "Her's." "Have you got her number?" "Service provider tells me it's a pay as you go that's in credit." "There's been no calls made or received in the last three days." "Why would Cheryl say she didn't have one?" "We're running out of time." "We can bring in a forensic archaeologist or try ground penetrating radar" " to help to find her body." " Her body?" "Am I ready to say that she's dead?" "There's been plenty of sightings." "Mostly in London, one in Sydney." "People aren't ready to think she's dead, not yet." "We should start around the allotments." "If you're going to bury her body, why would you burn her clothes?" " Hello?" " It's Deirdre, the police called." "Daniel Garvey was found dead this morning." "Louise?" "Are you there?" "Yeah." "He loved you so much." "Mrs. Garvey?" " It's my daughter." " Hi." " I'm so proud of her." " Mum." "Do you want to follow me?" "The identification is a formality." " I understand." " We can do it" " from a photograph." " No." "I want to do this." "I want to see him." "Ready?" "Cathy?" "Nikki?" "Sorry to bother you." "Your colleague, Thomas, said I'd find you here." "I need your help." "Actually, I need information or maybe I need to give information." "Louise, slow down." "The man they found dead today, Daniel Garvey?" " Why don't we speak in my office?" " How did he die?" "It's not something that I can discuss." "I'm asking for a professional courtesy because I may have some information." "Louise, there are issues of confidentiality" " that I need to respect..." " What are you doing here?" " I came to..." " To what?" "..to offer my condolences." "You ruined our life." "You made people think he was a bad man, you made his children think he was evil..." " Mrs. Garvey." " Mum!" "Mum, stop!" "He was not evil!" "Mrs. Garvey, let go." "It's all right." "Nikki, get her out of here." "It's all right." "The Garvey family were..." "clients." "We had to ask the Family Court to intervene to protect their children." "Was Daniel murdered?" "Can you tell me?" "We think so." "Can you tell me what happened?" "It's an ongoing investigation." "Oh, I appreciate that." "I will keep it in the strictest confidence." "Daniel was a mini-cab driver." "He was found in his car." "At the moment, we don't know what happened." "It could have been a robbery, we just don't know." "OK, good." "Thank you." "And thank you for trusting me with the information." "Why so anxious?" "What is it?" "Obviously, the family are known to me, and I worry about them." "Their eldest son, Kevin, was in care " "I'm telling you this in confidence." "Of course." "Kevin sat in front of me and said," ""I'll get rid of Daniel."" "In those words." "I didn't make a note of them," "I didn't take them seriously," "I didn't tell anyone." "I didn't want to put Kevin in difficulty with the police." "He left the office agitated, so when I heard the news..." "You thought Kevin had killed his father?" "It's not his biological father, it's his step-father, but, yes." "I was concerned." "He's just a teenager who wants security." "That's a long way from being a killer." "He's not a bad kid, he's a victim." "Why's this here?" "Jack, why is the hamster in here?" "Clarissa was being difficult, she didn't want it in the lab..." "No, I mean why do you have a white hamster in here?" "It was in Daniel Garvey's car when his body was found." " Kevin was in the car." " Are you sure?" "My God." "I've issued a description of Kevin and put out an order to detain him." "He told me he was staying with his grandparents." "We'll check the grandparents' house first." "Is there any way you can prove the hamster belonged to him?" "No." "We can't prove it belongs to him, but we may be able to place it in his possession." "If we trim some of the fur and place it in an aliquot of water," "Kevin Garvey's DNA should be on the fur and claws." "We'll need a good clean sample of Kevin's DNA to get a match, both to the hamster fur and any contact DNA that we find in the car." "Do you have his fingerprints and DNA on file?" "No." "No, he's never been charged with a crime." "Right, well, we can build a DNA profile from family members." "Take samples from his mother and father." "Father's unknown." "Well, if he was staying at his grandparents', perhaps we can we find a proxy sample of Kevin's DNA from there." "I'm Detective Inspector Rory Drennan," "Dr. Nikki Alexander." "All right - is this about Daniel?" "We're trying to find your grandson, Kevin Garvey." "Why?" " You don't think that he...?" " Is he staying here?" "He was." "He didn't come home last night." "It's my fault!" "How is it your fault?" "The boy's been in care." "I told him why - the concerns the social had about his mother and Daniel." " What concerns?" " Well, their ability to look after the kids properly if Daniel was living with them." "Obviously, there was some worries about him." "That's why Kevin was taken into care." "I thought he was ready to hear it." "Could you show us the room he stayed in?" "Yeah, of course." " Gloves?" " Yeah." "On the evening that Barge was murdered and Lizzie Craddock disappeared..." "There was an unusual pattern of calls." " Thanks, Clarissa." " I did the work!" "Was GPS enabled on their phones?" "No." "But we can use cell site analysis." "We can see the movements of the device from the cell sites it connects to." "At 19:47, Lizzie Craddock calls her mother." "This is the last call Lizzie Craddock makes but her phone stays on." "Cheryl Craddock called Johnny at 20:11." "Both of the calls were made from this mobile phone cell here, about a mile from Johnny Craddock's flat" " and the Duke Of Cumberland pub." " In this part of London, the cell sites are quarter of a mile apart, maybe a little more?" "The cell from which both calls were made covers the adventure playground where Dale Barge's body was found." "The strength and angle of the signal to the cell site puts Cheryl and Lizzie in the same place," " which we think is here." " At the crime scene?" "That's right." "After that," "Cheryl's calling Johnny again and again, and we can see from the movement between the cell sites that he looks to be on his way to the playground." "The last call at 20:26 was both made and received in the same cell." "From 20:26 to 20:58, there are no calls." "20:58, Cheryl calls Johnny again." "He remains in this cell..." "Which contains the playground and the allotment." " Right." " Call Drennan, tell him it's urgent." "Where does Cheryl's call come from?" "There." "Somewhere in that cell on the other side of the allotment." "We can put Johnny Craddock near the scene of the murder but there's no other physical evidence to prove he was there." "Cheryl made six calls to Johnny over the past three days from the same location she called from the night Lizzie disappeared." "But she only calls early in the morning and late at night." "She's alive." "I think there's a very good chance, and I think she's being held somewhere within this radius." "She's alive." "Is she being trafficked?" "Barge was part of the gang, Johnny fell out with him?" "Cheryl's calling from the same place they're holding her daughter " "I mean, would she really be part of this?" "If they tell you they will kill your daughter, what do you do?" "Your complicity keeps her alive." "So what's the best thing to do?" "We try and seal it off, send in an army of search teams..." "You'll be letting them know we're closing in." "If they move her before we find them, we've lost her." " Has Cheryl made any calls today?" " We've got her phone." "We cloned it, put a tracker in it." "Watch Cheryl, she'll take us to her daughter." "Gently's best - we don't want to alert them." "Miss Marsh?" "Sorry." "I've continued to run tests on Ricky Mansfield." "Did Dr. Fitzpatrick authorise them?" "They are clinically indicated, and based on them, I've reached the conclusion..." "I thought we'd reached a conclusion." "Ricky Mansfield has been abused." "I've put in motion the court proceedings." "Ricky Mansfield seems to have a quantitative deficiency of the vWF protein which is affecting his platelet adhesion." "That presents itself as bruising." "I've got a written report from Dr. Fitzpatrick." "He's on the management committee for the British Paediatrics Council." " You're saying he's wrong?" " He didn't have all the information." "Does he know you're doing this behind his back?" " I'm trying to protect my patient." " So am I." "Cheryl!" "Are you home?" "I've got your phone." "Have you seen her?" "I love it when a plan comes together." "What do you want to do?" "Wherever Lizzie is... ..he doesn't look worried, does he?" "You have to have a conscience to look worried." "They're taking Mary away but I'm not going to let them." "I'm going to sort it." "I'll go get her and we'll get out of here, the three of us." "My father's dead." "Somebody killed him, that's what the police think." "OK..." "OK." "Well, we'll just go and get Mary and we keep going." " I can't!" " We have to." "We have to go now." " Don't you care?" " Yeah, I care." "But..." " I don't know, maybe he deserved it." " What are you saying?" "He didn't give a shit about me, or you." " How can you talk like that?" " Look, maybe I'm not upset that he's dead!" "Maybe I'm tired of him messing up my life." "Maybe I don't understand why you don't feel the same way." "I know everything about it, OK?" " About what?" " About what he did to you." "He didn't do anything to me!" "Shut up, I know about it." "When you got sick, you weren't sick, you were pregnant" " and he did it to you." " No." "No, he didn't, Kevin." "Why are you protecting him?" "He's the one that caused all this " "Mum doesn't want to admit it, I get that." "It's messed up, but I get it." "Just please stop pretending cos I know it was him." " It's not true!" " Look, we're going to get away from here, the three of us." "We don't need them." "Let's go get Mary and get out of here..." " Who told you?" " Gramps!" "Gramps told me." "Gramps and Nan." "Let's just go get Mary." "Gramps did it to me." "What?" "Gramps got me pregnant." "I never told no-one." "I didn't want anyone to know." "It's my fault, that Gramps did that to me." "I made him do it." "That's what he said," "I made him." "Everything is my fault, what happened with the social is my fault." "It wasn't Dad's." "It was mine." "No." "None of it was your fault." "Kevin, where are you going?" "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "Cathy told me about Gramps." "What did she tell you?" "About what he did to her when she was sick." "I thought it was Daniel that did it." "I blamed him for everything and I was wrong." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry, Mum." "Sorry to bother you." "I have a quick question." "Well, come in." "I have a child, a year old, who has unexplained bruising along the side of his body." "Are there medical conditions that might explain it?" "Rather than abusive parents, you mean?" "Ecchymosis?" "Large purple bruising?" "I have some photos." "Dozens - meningococcal infection, leukaemia, von Willebrand disease, some medications," " thrombocytopenia..." " But they are rare?" "Statistically, yes." "There are 50,573 children on the Child Protection Register right now." "I have a consultant who tells me it's child abuse and a young doctor who tells me it's a problem with platelet adhesion, parents who say nothing happened..." "I have to protect a child." "Who do I believe?" "I would err on the side of caution." "Which side is that?" " Are you OK?" " I am very experienced." "I'm good at my job." "I've seen so many damaged children, so many abusive parents," "I know what is right, I know it." "In here, I know it in here." "Did you know?" "Did you know what he did to Cathy?" "How could I have let that happen?" "Did you know he was a monster?" "Did you know what he did to me?" "!" "Did you know all along?" "I'm your little girl." "You're meant to protect me." "Miss Marsh?" "Kevin, I..." "I'm so sorry, I have an appointment." " Where's my sister Mary?" " I can't stop." "Please, please, don't do this." "Tell me where she is." "No, I can't tell you, I really can't tell you." "Make this easy!" "Let me get you some help." "I don't want help!" "Just tell me where I can find my baby sister." " I know you want the best for her." " Shut it." "The family she's with love her very much." " Give me the address." " I can't do that." "Give me the address." "I don't know it." "62 Campbell Street, SW9." "You say anything to anyone, I'll come back for you." "What's he doing?" "He's buying two train tickets to Dover." "We're in the cell." "They've got to be here." " I'm going." " We need backup." "No, I'm going." "Requesting backup, please." "She's gone, Johnny!" "She's gone!" "Where is she, Cheryl?" "I don't know!" "She was here and I came to bring her food," " but now she's gone." " Stop crying." " She's gone, she's gone." " You stop crying!" "You stop!" "Come on!" "Easy, easy." "You kept her here?" "What the hell did you think you were doing?" "Protecting her." "They thought you'd take their daughter away, so they hid her." "Find my girl, please!" "Make sure she's safe!" " You didn't find her?" " Been through the entire building," " she's not here." " Where is she?" "Where would you go if you were an eight-year-old girl?" "Lizzie!" "Lizzie!" " Lizzie!" " Lizzie..." "I'm across the road." "I got Mary's address - 62 Campbell Street." "All right." "Where's your gear?" "I've got to wait till they go to bed, so they don't know." "Cool." " I saw Mum." " Is she OK?" "No, not really." "Do you think they'll let us live with her, all of us, together?" "I'll go and get Mary, and we'll all just go and live with Mum." "Run, Kevin." " Run!" " Hey!" "Kevin!" "Right, OK - we need to go back over all her friends, all her family, anyone that we've spoken to before, she's got to be with one of them." "Her parents don't know where she is but she has been seen not that long ago..." "Playing." "She wouldn't go home - she'd be playing." "Hi, Lizzie." "Remember me?" "I'm Louise." "I'm going to look after you and make sure you're OK." "I know who you are." "You're the one who tried to steal me." "No, we just want to help you." " Hi, Lizzie." " Hi." "Where's my mum and dad?" "They're here, in the police station." "We just need to do a very quick checkup on you first." " Is that OK?" " Yeah." " Are you a doctor?" " Yeah." " Do you have lots of patients?" " Yeah." "What's wrong with them?" "My patients have already died." "You're not a good doctor." "I try to find out why they died." "I'm alive." "Yes, you are." "Have you ever seen dead people come back to life, like in the movies?" " No, I haven't seen that." " Really?" "I thought you would have." "Did you try to find out why Dale died?" "Yeah." "He said I was his girlfriend." "Do you think Dale is going to come back and get me?" "No." "I'm absolutely certain he's not." "Really?" "That's good." "Hello?" "Yeah, speaking." "Really?" "Hello." "Yeah." "Sean Patrick here." "Look, I need a plate glass for the front door." "Yeah, top panel." "How soon can you get here?" "Yeah, that's fine, I'll be here." "OK, bye." ""RAPIST"" "I did a full medical." "She's in good health." "Was she raped?" "Not vaginally or anally." "She's alive, you should be happy." "Maybe she's young enough to forget." "You've given her a chance to." "Yes - a chance." "I've..." "I've organised some emergency foster parents for her." "That's something I didn't think I'd be doing." "I should be happy." " Who would want to do your job?" " Me, I wanted to do it." "I always wanted to do it." "I thought I could make a difference to people." "At the beginning, it's just odd..." "It just surprises you that people can be so cruel." "When you begin to find that cruelty normal... ..it's like a long winter and you forget spring will ever come." "Spring is here." "She's alive." "Yeah." "Perspective, thank you." "To care about other people is a noble thing." " You think?" " Yeah." "And if you ever start to forget it, give me a call and I'll give you a pep talk." "Thanks." "Butcher's hook has completely crushed the skull." "Got catastrophic injuries to the parietal and occipital lobes of the brain." "He answered the alarm call, came over, surprised his assailant?" "Surprised him?" "Or was he lured here?" "Can you pull prints off the hook?" " If they're there, I'll find them." " It's Kevin Garvey's grandfather." "OK." "Did you tell your mum what happened?" "No." "What happened to Dale?" "I'm not meant to say." "You can tell us." "If I do, you'll take me away." "We printed a 3D model of Lizzie's hand from photographs." "The finger bruises were made by a small hand... ..the same size as Lizzie's." "And I found skin and blood under Lizzie's fingernails that belonged to Dale Barge." "So I followed them to the playground, and I took the screwdriver with me." "When I saw what he was doing, I went crazy, so I stabbed him." "I had to protect her, didn't I?" "I'm her father." "So I stabbed him." "I cleaned up." "Lizzie had blood all over her clothes..." "I took her clothes down to the allotment." "I didn't want them to take Lizzie." "She means everything to me." "Cheryl and Johnny both claim to have killed him." "Is there any clear evidence who stabbed him?" "The angle of the wound suggests that the person who stabbed Barge was facing him." "It's... unusual." "Close proximity, face-to-face." "He forced her to perform oral copulation." "Lizzie struggles... ..grips his arm hard to force him away, scratches him, bites him." "He doubles over in pain and grabs her hair." "Her head comes up sharply, catching him under the chin." "He slumps from the pain." "She...plunges the screwdriver into his back." "It is completely down to chance that the blade misses bone and cuts the aorta." "Lizzie Craddock killed him." "Now, will someone please tell me what is in the public interest here?" "Bye, baby." "Bye, Princess." "You..." "you look after yourself." "See you soon, OK." "Victim has suffered a major trauma to the rear of the skull." "We found two sets of fingerprints on the meat hook." "One is smudged, impossible to match." "The other matches prints I took from the hamster box" "Nikki collected from Kevin Garvey's room." "Places Kevin at the scene." "Thanks." "Now all we have to do is find him." "Jack?" "I need you to double-check something." "You don't think I have enough to do?" " What is it?" " There was dried blood trapped between the bolster and the handle of this knife." "Yes, from a butcher's." "It was human DNA " "Daniel Garvey's human DNA." "I have Kevin Garvey's prints on the hook, but not on the brick that went through the window, not on the wall." "The murder weapon and nowhere else - seem odd to you?" "And Daniel Garvey's blood on a knife in the shop." "Well, from what I understand, it's unlikely Daniel would have gone into the shop." "Kevin needs to put the murder weapon back, breaks in," "Sean catches him writing the graffiti on the wall." "Looks like it was done with soft material - a dense sponge or a rag?" "Well, we couldn't find any rags at the scene." "A piece of meat?" "That's a good shout." "A pig's heart." "Worth a look, eh?" "We might be able to get DNA off it." "We need to compile a database of fingerprints and DNA for employees, frequent customers, suppliers." "Let's start by eliminating Sean and Delores Patrick." "If he was a rapist, who did he rape?" "Kevin's already been here." "Mrs. Patrick?" "Delores?" "The DNA we were able to extract from the pig's heart belonged to Delores Patrick." "Fingerprints, DNA at the scene and on the murder weapon." "She wanted to get caught." "Kevin Garvey had nothing to do with his grandfather's death." "The DNA we found on the minicab was a half match to Kevin - a parent, not a grandparent." "My father raped me." "I didn't tell anyone." "Who'd believe me?" "I lived with it." "Then my daughter..." "He raped my daughter and my granddaughter and I did nothing." "I let him lie." "I let him destroy us." "I couldn't live another day like that." "We matched the DNA to Sean Patrick." "He was Kevin's father as well as his grandfather." "Daniel was the only one who knew what had happened to me." "He helped me, loved me." "Daniel came to see Sean... ..about the lies he told Kevin." "They argued, and then they drove off... together." "Sean Patrick killed his son-in-law." "The evidence points that way." "And Kevin Garvey?" "He's innocent." "Dr. Fitzpatrick believes there is no clinical explanation for the bruising, which leaves only the explanation of the parents, and, as I understand, they have no explanation." "We cannot rule out forensically that Ricky's bruises were caused by parental abuse." "They may have been." "I have seen harrowing injuries to children that could have been prevented." "I have dealt with parental deception and I have seen terrible errors in judgment in which inaction was a death sentence for a child." "Both my instinct and expertise beg the court to make an Interim Care Order to protect the wellbeing of Ricky Mansfield." "Carol is a good mother." "But you're not with her all of the time." "No, of course not, I work." "So there are lots of hours of the day that you're not able to observe whether your wife is abusing your child." "That is out of order." "Carol adores our son." "That is bang out of order." "It's like her saying parents lie." "I'm not lying." " I can see you're angry." " Of course I'm angry." "Do you ever get angry around your son?" "Maybe when you're looking after him?" "No." "The fact that the parents cannot explain the injuries, and that a medical expert is confident they are a result of a third party, convinces me that the threshold for an Interim Care Order is reached." "This will be for an initial eight-week period, reviewed thereafter on a four weekly basis." "Until then," "I place Ricky Mansfield in the care of social services." "No." "No!" "Please." "Ms. Marsh?" "What happened in there?" "They didn't hurt their child." "Dr. Fitzpatrick thinks otherwise." "I ran tests that confirmed that Ricky Mansfield has von Willebrand disease which causes unexplained bruising." "What did you say in there?" " I was looking after Ricky." " The science doesn't lie!" "You decide if you want to be a liar or not," " but be careful what you do because I'm going to tell them." " You can't discuss this case!" "I have to tell them so their child receives the medical care he needs." "I won't release him to you until I know he will." "If there's any child abuse involved here, it's by you." "I never set out to destroy anyone's life." "I hope you know that." "May I speak to Nikki Alexander, please?" "This is Nikki Alexander's voicemail, please leave a message." "Hi, Nikki." "I guess I'm just calling for a pep talk." "Stupid I know," "I know I'm stupid." "I'm just not strong enough." "I'm sorry." "I thought I was." "I thought I could take responsibility for others - look after those who are weak or vulnerable, to help them, cos that's what communities do, don't they?" "That's what makes us stronger than our weakest neighbour." "But I wasn't strong enough." "I failed Lizzie." "I failed Kevin." "And now I've failed Ricky Mansfield." "And I was meant to protect them." "Mary?" "Mary?" "I need an ambulance." "Hurry, she's dying!" "62 Campbell Street, SW9." "Hurry!" "Ms. Marsh!" "Don't you die." "Don't you die!" "Kevin?" " Hi, Louise." " Hi." " Sorry." " It's OK." "I heard you were coming back." "I got your voicemail." "I'm sorry." "I was obviously not well when I left it." "Look...you didn't fail Kevin Garvey." "He saved your life." "And you can still protect Ricky Mansfield, make sure he gets home safely." "You reached out to me, I'm reaching out to you." " Welcome back." " Thanks." "Do you make mistakes?" "Of course." "Do you forget them?" "Never." "I learn from them." "Hey, Kevin?" "Hey." " This is my sister, Cathy." " Hiya." "Mum's at the solicitors, trying to get Mary back." "We got no chance." "Maybe if we was rich or important or something..." "I'm sorry." "Here he is." " Ah, sweet." " Thanks." " No worries." " Can I hold him?" "Course." " What's his name?" " Lily." "Lily?" "It's a her?" "Yeah." "How did I get that wrong?" "There we are." "Hello!" "Hi." "We missed his first steps." "Sofia Teplov, registered nanny." "According to the party hosts she looked after Anastacia Bazhanov, daughter of Maksim Bazhanov." "You know the men and women who own these apartments, they're some of the richest on this planet, and when they come to London they require two things - privacy and security." "Do you really believe I would put our own daughter's life in danger?" "Well, who else knew I would be there?" "I don't give a shit what goes on behind closed doors, but two people are dead and I want to ask Mr. Bazhanov why." "Have you got kids?" "A little girl, Lucy." "She's a terror." "You?" "No, never met the right woman." "My apologies, Mr. Milton, I wanted to talk to you alone." "There is something, someone, I need access to in the Elysium building." "Politicians may have given London away, but we're going to take it back, piece by piece." "How much would it cost for you to tell me what you know?" "Subtitles by Red Bee Media Ltd Sync:" "Marocas62"

"Have a good day, baby." "I love you, Snuggle Bear." "You remember your inhaler?" "Oh, not you, Mrs. B. You have a good day too." "All right, kids." "Learn a lot." "You're our future." "Sorry, but I just got up." "Bye." "Oh!" "Oh." "Ah." "Spring Action Classic meeting tonight." "I'm counting on you, Dad." "Throwing yourself off that stage." "Landing in the arms of adoring fans." "Man, that must feel great." "Of course, when no one catches you... not so great." "Opposing counsel presented the argument that it was my client's band... that was responsible for the music." "And it was the music that made that dude do it." "He did it." "You can't argue with that." "I know me... soon as I hear music, I gotta rock." "Dink-dink-dink, din-din-din-din." "Mr. Serrano, I think you've made your point." "You don't get it, judge." "It's not me, it's the music." "It makes me crazy." "Mr. Serrano, last chance." " Crazy." " Last chance, Mr. Serrano." "I'm crazy." "But not that crazy." "We are all responsible for our own actions." "And those actions come with consequences." "Rock on." "Sixty seven, 68, 69... $369.22." "I thought we needed to raise 500 to go to the Classic." " Hello, Paulina?" "We're short." " Oh." "I heard Skyler's team's raised zip." "That's because her mother will just give it to her anyway." " We need that money and fast." " Yeah." " What are you doing?" " Texting Paulina, to remind her." " She's right here." " This is faster." " Okay." " Incoming." "Hey, Naomi." "Raising money to go to the Classic?" "So diligent." "It's gonna be the biggest Spring Action Classic weekend ever." "This year, we're bringing home that trophy." "My goodness, I'm shivering, I'm so scared." "Save it for the weekend." "Yeah, save it, doll." "You're gonna need it." "Spring Action Classic meeting tonight." "I'm counting on you, Dad." "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, my gosh." "Take the deal." "Take the deal, you idiot." " Oh, look who it is, Mr. No-Show." " Okay, don't start with me." "Mr. Sure-I'll-Be-There." " Not." "Mr. I'm-So-Busy-l-Can't." " Okay, where's Naomi?" "Where do you think, brainiac?" "She's in her room." "Remind me again why I work for you." "Come on." "You need a car wash!" "Come on, please." "Come on, get a car wash!" "Two, four, six, eight!" "Come on." "Car wash!" "Five dollars." "Don't you have $5 to spare?" "Not a single car?" "Not even one?" "Okay." "Don't be discouraged." "It's still early." "Anybody want a snack?" "Naomi, you've got to call your dad." "Tell him to send over some of his lawyer friends." " Yeah, like, fancy cars and fat tips." " He's in court." "He'll kill me." " What does it matter?" "We're already dead." " Okay, okay, I'll do it, I'll go." " Oh, my gosh." "Got one." " Come on, guys." "Come on." "Oh, keep it going, keep it going." " You need a real car wash." " Gosh." " No." " Keep going." "Sorry, losers." "We, the jury, find Rocky Ferguson not guilty." "Yes." "I owe you big time, Eddie." "If there is every anything..." "I mean, anything you need..." " Concert tickets, you..." "Thank you." " Oh, huggy-do." "Cut it out." " Naomi." " Dad?" "Stop." " Guys, my phone." " Hello?" "Dad." "Stop, guys." "Hello?" "Hi." "Naomi Serrano?" "Hey, baby, you okay?" "You hungry?" " I'll make you a bowl of cereal." " I'm fine." "Okay." "Mommy's favorite song." "Yeah." "Okay." "Get your rest." "What'd she like about it?" "I mean, was she, like, some place special when you guys heard it?" "Were you guys doing something fun?" "Something fun." "I forget." "Okay." "Dinner's in an hour." "A nine-year-old metro girl has a new lease on life..." "No TV during dinner." " Are you gonna be home early every night?" " That's the plan, girlfriend." "Harry." "What's going on?" "What?" "When?" " Hang on." "What are you doing?" " Homework." " That's Naomi's homework." " I know." "Well, shouldn't Naomi be doing it?" "We have a game we play every night, see who can do it faster." "It help me with my English." "And who usually wins this little game you guys play every night?" "Me." "I gotta call you back." "Let me ask you something." "You ever see Naomi's homework?" "You don't." "You know why you don't?" "She's not doing it." "You know why?" "Because you're doing it for her." "Smart girl." "She know, can't beat me." "Look, look." "I win again." "Naomi, you biggest loser." "I don't think so." " I was in the middle of talking to Kayla." " And now you're talking to me." "How long has Catalina been doing your homework?" " It's just English, Dad." "No big deal." " Cheating on your homework is a big deal." "It's just homework." "Chill." "Chill?" "When did you start talking to me like that?" "Like what?" "Like, what..." "What did I miss?" "Look, there are rules in this house and doing your own homework tops the list." "So you're home early one day and all of a sudden, there are these rules?" " Oh, she got a point there." " Quiet." "Where do you think you're going?" "Hold on a minute, Naomi." "I'm not done talking to you." " Sam's here." " Sam can wait." " I wanna know what's going on." " If you were ever here, you would know." "That's changing as of right now." "I'm still your father." " When it's convenient." " What's that supposed to mean?" " Is this a bad time?" " My dad's trying on his father cap." "Not a good fit." "That's it." "I want you to go back up to your room now." "Gladly." "Sam." "And no computer, no phone, no TV, no nothing." "No air." "And don't slam the door." "This is a bad time, I'll just come back later." "No, no, no." "You get here just in time for fireworks." "I know, be quiet." "I was just dropping by the release forms... for the Classic this weekend, but I'll come back later." "Know what?" "It's fine." "Come in, Miss Dubinski." "Can you believe those kids?" "If I talked to my dad like that, bam!" "I'd be in critical condition, life support." "He hit me in 10th grade..." "I woke up senior year, cap and gown..." " Eddie." " What's the matter?" "I think I'm in labor." "You're pregnant?" "I thought you had just been hitting the chips too hard." "I'm in labor, Eddie." "My water just broke." "All right. is there something I can get you?" "A towel?" "A bucket?" "Okay, stay calm." "Stay calm." "Stay calm." "Breathe." "I need some help." "Miss D's having a baby." " Breathe, breathe, breathe." " Mom." " Mom, are you okay?" " Yeah." "Sam, call your dad." "Catalina, get some towels." " She's not having the baby here, are you?" " Oh, God." "Relax, Eddie." "I'm not gonna make it to the hospital, okay?" "Talk about bad timing." "It gives the floor the just-waxed look." "I'm talking about this weekend." "The girls are gonna be so upset." "Don't worry." "I'm sure one of the other moms can take us." "Kayla's mother is sick and Paulina's mother is on vacation and..." " What about you, Eddie?" " Me?" "You're kidding, right?" "Do I look like I'm kidding?" "No, no, no, I could never do what..." "Never do what a mom does." "He can barely do what a dad does." "What's all that negative?" "Get real." "You'd be way out of your league." " I'll do it." " No way." " I'll do it." " No, as in not even way." "No." "Yes, way." "You are now looking at your new Team Mom." "Man." "Whatever." "Report to my campsite at 09000 hours." "Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh." "This is gonna be so fun." " Come on." " I want the back seat." "Harry, this is your big chance." "I'm gonna be gone." " For how long?" " Just a couple of days." "Oh, my God." "I'm so excited." "You'll be fine." "Find the fix, my man, find the fix." "Oh, where you going?" "Fathers may perform the services of Team Mom." "However, an adult female chaperone is required on all out-of-town trips." "Page 11 of manual." "Weep it and read." "Weep it and read." "Lot of cases here." "I don't know if I can handle these." "You will be fine." "Eddie?" " I'm a big fan of yours." "There's, like, 30 cases here." " I will be back before you know it." " Eddie." " Bye, Harry." "Eddie." "Eddie!" " Ah!" "Hey, you scared me." " Hello, Eddie." " Hi, Denise." " Well, what do you know?" " Just dropping off?" " Yeah..." "Uh, no." "I'm actually Team Mom this year." "Oh, Eddie." "Oh, you are so funny." " Where's Mrs. Dubinski?" " She had her baby." "A boy, 50 pounds, 8 ounces." "I know because she had it in my foyer." "Oh, well, talk about a turn of events, huh?" "Let the games begin." "Awkward." "Welcome to the fifth annual Spring Action Classic at Hulka's Rock." "Congratulations, girls." "You have worked hard to be here... and you have made your schools proud." "Now, are you ready to have some fun?" "Sorry, I thought this microphone was working." "I said, are you ready to have some fun?" " Where are all the dudes?" " Now, it is my pleasure... to introduce you to the director of activities... and host again to our Spring Action Classic." "The highly decorated commander in chief, Miss Hulka." "You will be challenged this weekend, both as a team and as individuals." "The weak among you will be weeded out." "And only one team will earn the respect... the right, and the honor to be called Hulka's Heroes." "Who will be taking home the Spring Action Classic trophy this year?" "That'd be us." "Will it be the Dragon Flies?" "How about them Killer Bees?" "Whatever." "Or will it be last year's returning champs..." "The Wasps?" " Dad." " What's up, fool?" " Hey." " I'll need you to bring me a few things." " Okay, write this down." " Turn it off." "Eddie." "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie." "It locked." "I'm not sure what the code is." " Dad." " It locked." "Five..." "Shut it off." "Sorry, sir, my bad." " Come on, guys." " The cabin." "Look at the cabin." "Oh, I'm so excited." "Me too, awesome." "Come on, Catalina." "Shotty top bunk." " Where do you think you're going?" " My cabin." " Isn't this...?" " For the girls." "You're right here." "Right where?" "Right here." " Here you go." " What's this?" "A tent." " Need help setting it up?" " I beg your pardon?" "It's a tent." "Do you need help setting it up?" "I been camping since I was 18 months old." "Do you understand?" "Soon as they cut my cord, I was in the woods." "I didn't have a bib." "I had a vest with a lot of zippers." "Wipes, binky." "I drank milk out of a canteen." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "Thank you very much, but I got it." " What is your name?" " CC." "Okay, CC, you know what I'm gonna do?" "I'll make you a blouse out of tree bark." " Really?" " Really." "I mean, I've camped a lot." "Well, it wasn't somewhere like this, luxurious." "I mean, it was deep." "Deep woods." "Frozen." " You know, baby-verses-nature stuff." " Right." "Whereabouts do you do this deep camping?" "It was far." "It was over, you know, this ravine." "You had to traverse, and it was down and across." "No names though." "No towns or no camps." "Just signs that would say:" " Huh." " Mosquitoes got lost." "They'd just jump on you, just for a ride back." "Well, gosh, you're a real mountain man." "I just shaved my beard with a rock." "The dull part." "Huh." "Well, it is gonna be something having you here this weekend, Eddie." " I appreciate that, thank you." " Okay." "Oh, when you are set up, Miss Hulka would like to see you in her office, okay?" "Okay." "You know what?" "Tell her she doesn't have to call me." "Just rub a couple twigs together, I'll just pick up the sound." "Right." "Okay." " Wanna know my Indian name?" " The tent, Eddie." " Focus on the tent." " It's Dances With Squirrels." "I just grab their little:" " Oh, my God." " I call top bunk." " Paulina, I'm on the bottom." " Where's my eyeliner?" "God, that doesn't go there." "What a...?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Anybody home?" "Wow." " Teeth look really sharp." " Do not touch." "Sorry." "Flatlander." "Softy." "Slacker." "It's my job to know the enemy." "Know the enemy, what?" "Hey, how did you get a hold of my stuff?" "Nose clippers, hair gel, world's loudest cell phone." "Unauthorized." " Who sent you?" " What?" "You from OSHA?" "I think there's been kind of a misunderstanding. I..." "Sneak attack, huh?" "Sending a man in?" "A whole dad thing?" "Very good cover story." "So OSHA wants to make sure my camp is up to snuff." "Look, I'm not from OSHA." "You a lawyer?" "Because I can smell a lawyer." "I'm a lawyer." "But I'm not from..." "My camp is always blue-ribbon ready, Mr. Serrano." "I pride myself on clean barracks, good chow and plenty of fresh air and exercise." " Wow, lady, look..." " Miss Hulka." "Miss Hulka, I'm having some issues with my daughter, Naomi." "That's the only reason I'm here." " How much do you weigh?" " I'm sorry?" "Maybe 200?" "No, more like 195." "Lightweight." "But then we both know that, don't we?" " Don't we?" " Yes, sir." " Sergeant Commander Hulka." " Your uniform." "It's to be worn at all times." "Whatever your ulterior motives, Mr. Serrano... I guarantee that when you leave my mountain... you will be a changed man." "I'm starting to feel the change already." "So I'll just collect my stuff..." "Oh, okay." "Another time." "This ain't gonna happen." "I wanna win so bad this year, Sam." "But if we have my dad..." "If it weren't for your dad, we wouldn't even be here." " Snap out of it, Naomi." "He'll be fine." " Did you see him try to pitch his tent?" " Pathetic." " But really funny." "Oh, my gosh, what's that smell?" "What's that smell?" "What's that terrible smell?" "Oh, it's Skyler." "Funny, Sam." "Not very age appropriate, but funny." " Bumble Bees?" " More like Fumble Bees." "That is so funny." "Look at me, I'm dying inside." "Come on, we can do this." "Killer Bees rule." "Yeah." "Killer Bees rule." "Come on." "It's a little hike, fresh air." " A little exercise, it'll do you good." " Nope." "What do you mean "no"?" "They just need a mom for a couple of hours." " Besides, I got a lot of work I gotta do." " You the king bee, buzz off." "That's funny." "King bee, get it, get it?" "If I was a bee, I'd sting you in your neck." "You lie in your tent, now you make it." "Good morning, campers, and welcome to the flag challenge." "Hey, I'm talking." "That's it, everybody." "Right here." "Each team has been given a different map." "The goal is to navigate that mountain and collect all three colored flags." "Team Moms will participate in the mountain challenge and are responsible... for their girls' safety and conduct." "All right, ladies, let's set a good example, huh?" "Let's go, girls." "This is your 10-minute warning, okay?" "Now, it's our first event, so let's warm up, do lots of stretching." "Unless you're intent on killing every living creature in this forest..." " please stop spraying." " Okay." "Where's your uniform?" "I'm having it altered because I was having a couple of issues." "If you think disobeying my direct order... won't affect how your team finishes, you got another thing coming, mister." "CC." " Yes." " Deduct three points from this team." " What?" " Thanks a lot, Dad." "Hey, enjoy your flag challenge." "I know I will." "Thank you, commander." "Oh, great." "Wow." " You charmed the Hulk, huh?" " How could I not?" "Too bad, I like a man in uniform." "I think you'd like any man alive." "It's exciting, huh?" " I'm thrilled." " You and I going head-to-head." "Or should I say stinger-to-stinger?" " I'll save a place for you at dinner." " Okay." "Not hungry." "Where's the map, Paulina?" "I put it right next to the compass, I think." "If you didn't have to keep running to the bathroom every two minutes... to fix your hair, it might still be there." "Sorry." "Lose something?" " Give that back." " Not even a thank you... for returning something that I could have easily left on the bathroom floor?" " It was on the bathroom floor?" " Give me that." "Maybe it should be more than a thank you." "How about a little curtsy from the princess?" "How about a sock in the mouth from her friend?" "Try not to get lost." " You girls ready?" " Just try not to embarrass us, Dad." "Embarrass you guys?" "The other moms don't know that I have cat-like reflexes." "Like that:" "Let the games begin." "Stay together!" "Stay together!" " That way." " Okay." "I knew that." "Oh, my God." "Oh, boy." "All right, team." "Whoa." "Ouch." "Ooh." "Careful." "All right, here we go." "All right." " Guys, I found it." " Right there." "We got it." "Hey, girls." "I'm right here." " Dad, hurry up." " I'm coming, girls." "I'm coming." "All right." "I might be old school, but in my days, the leader went first." " Dad." " I'm coming." " That way." " Yeah, up there." "Trying to lose the old man, huh?" "That's nice." "Hey, look, I can see Russia from here." "Mr. Serrano, over here." "Hey, how did you guys get ahead of me?" "We found the second flag." " Congratulations." " Hurry up, Dad." "We're losing time." "And I suppose a pregnant lady would be better?" " Yeah." " That hurt." "There's always a fix." "Hello, fix." " I got a bad feeling about this." " I got it." "Okay." "Ow!" "That hurt." "I think I may have peed." " Wait for me." " My hair." " You sure you know where we are?" " You know what my middle name is?" " What?" " GPS." "I think it's this way." " Over here, come on." " Come on." " Come on." " They fall for it?" "Oh, yeah." " My feet hurt." " Me too." " Me three." " You guys are so delicate." "This can't be right." "We should have reached the last flag by now." " I have to go the bathroom." " Yeah, no problem, it's over there." "Oh." "Where?" "Right there, right there, right there, and right there." " They're called trees, pick one." " A tree?" "Outside?" "You wanna know what they call leaves?" "I can wait." "Skyler." "What about her?" "The map doesn't make sense... because she changed it." "They should have been back by now." "Two tours, never lost a soldier." " What was that?" " Some kind of bird, I hope." "Those are awful big birds." " I don't think I can hold it any longer." " You're not the only one." "Oh, I've been hit." "Oh!" "Man down." "Call 911 ." "I'm so cold." " Medic, man down." " You weren't shot, Dad." "Then what is it, some kind of bird puke?" "You've been slimed." "Hey." "Whoever's out there, you don't know who you're messing with." "Help." " Okay, that's it, I need a tree." " Mother, help." "Now, that guy's cute." " This is ACP." " AC what?" " Alien Catcher Property." " Help." "I can't feel my legs." " Do you know him?" " That's my dad." " Code red." "Code red." " Call me on my cell, 555-5595." "555?" "How about 911?" "Where'd everybody go?" "Oh, oh, no." "Oh, no, no." "No." "No!" "Look, I found it, I found it." "Cover for me when the girls go to sleep." "I need a hotel room, a shower, a bed." "I need to get back to my roots." "Sleeping outside is ridiculous." "Welcome to the jungle." " I'll be back first thing in the morning." " Okay, grab an extra pudding for me." "I take more than two, people look at me funny." "Look at you funny?" "It's not the pudding." "Hello." "Thank God you called." "I've been trying to get a hold of you all day." " I got hung up." " No, don't hang up." "Don't hang up." "I did everything with the McQuade case and the DA still refuses to settle." "Do you have any idea what my father's gonna do... if I have to lose my first case?" "He's gonna kill me." "Daddy's boy, take it easy." "It's lights out here at 10:00, so why don't you meet me here at 10:30?" "Tonight?" "I can meet you at 10:30." "That's great." "No problem." "At the service entrance." "And, Harry, bring me a few things." "Write this down." "A blow-up mattress, a portable heater and a fully-charged cell phone." "And while you're at it, throw in a bottle of aspirin." "I got a feeling it's gonna be a long weekend." "Okay, bye, Grandma, I love you so much." "What?" "No, your grandma?" "I don't know where she lives." "There's ice cream in the freezer, bye." "That's my grandma." "Just making sure she has everything she needs." " Grandma Harry?" " Um, Harriet." " That phone is for emergency use only." " And that's why I used it." "This is an extreme emergency." "She's very sick." "As a matter of fact, it is a five-level disease that is ravaging her body." "There's brain, kidney, liver, clots... that have manifested and magnified in her elbow." "She is an amazingly strong woman, and it's so hard... to see her, like, the way she is." "Right, and I bet she lives in a little town in the mountain where the signs just say:" "Yes, yes." "She was valedictorian and it's hard for her... because she has the right answers but she can't raise her arm." " Jesus, it's bad." " Do you ever stop?" "I'm never gonna be able to sleep just thinking about him." "Who?" "The cutie who shot your dad." "What if he's trying to call me?" "I've never been this attracted to a slimeballer." "I need my cell phone." "Lights out, ladies, it's 10:00." "You too, Naomi." "Mr. Serrano, could you just please get me my cell phone back?" " Just for two seconds?" " Uh...." "Let me think about that." "No." " What's wrong with you?" " That fourth pudding got me." "Please?" "Mr. Serrano, did you know that bats are natural reservoirs... for many deadly pathogens such as rabies, SARS and even Ebola virus?" "You're too good at this." "Rent yourself out to parties." "It's okay, Dad." "She's just afraid of the dark." " She does this every year." " Many spiders, such as black widows... can inject venom that interferes with body functions." "Good to know." " No, no." " What's the matter?" " Sam's gum, it's in my hair." " Oh, okay." " Sit down, sit down." "Little help here." " Naomi." " Find the fix." "Find the fix." " I need to be burped." " Dad, Dad, do something." " Oh, no." "Hello, fix." "Good, good, good." "Right there." "Little bit there." " Who could possibly chew this much gum?" " Sam." " Be careful." " Just let me even it up." "Okay, I got it." "I got a wonderful shampoo that'll highlight your torn edges." " Hey, I fixed it." " Not bad, boss." "I feel like Posh." "Do I look like her?" "Howling is the wolf's method for communicating in thickly-forested areas." "It usually precedes to the adult's departure to hunt." "Kayla." "You have to think of being outside in the woods... as an opportunity to cleanse your mind and your body." "All the wonderful air and exercise allows your body to relax... and for you to fall asleep." "Okay." "Thanks for holding my hand." "That's what my mom does." "Good night." " Harry." " Eddie, hey." " Shh!" " Oh." " What took so long?" " I've been a little busy." "That's great." " Awesome." "How does this thing work?" " It inflates automatically." " Beautiful." " That's a pillow and I got you a heater." " Great job, Harry." " Yeah." "Hey." " Cooler full of ice too." " Oh, do you?" "All right." "Oh, get down." "Where are you, little man?" "You hiding?" "Come out, come out, wherever you are." "Where are you, pal?" "You and your friends at OSHA, huh?" "Think you're gonna put one by me?" "Well, you've got another thing coming." "You gotta get out of here." " We go to court on Tuesday." " Go." "No, Eddie." "There's 17 cases here." "I can't do them all." "Spread out!" " I need your help." "Eddie, Eddie." " This is very irrational." " Two of you?" "Well, a little challenge." "Okay, oh, Eddie." " I'll meet you over..." " Get away." " Run." "I'm not sure where I'm going." " Run." " Oh, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie." " Oh, gee, you're right there." " You're with the shark?" "Oh, no, he's my mentor." "Mentor?" " It's like a really good teacher." " I know what a mentor is." "I'm having a hard time believing it." "So, what do you think, more dogs?" "What?" "Oh, that's you." " What kind of camp did you say this was?" " Mine." "Terrifying." " You snore really loud, Mr. Serrano." " What?" "Deviated septum." "If you leave now, I won't remember you." "Deviated septum." "Thank you." "Hey, Paulina." "Sorry about the whole Yorkie-terrier look I did on your hair." " That's okay." "Naomi did a little trimming." " It's a good look on you." "Kayla said that if I use half the shampoo that I used to..." "I can reduce the risk of, like, scalp cankers... and premature baldness for, like, 15 years." "And I'll be so old by then, it won't even matter." "That's Kayla." "Glass is always half-empty." "What'd she say about incontinence?" "Anything?" " You seen Naomi?" " Oh." "Um...." "She was up at the cabin writing in her journal." "All right, great." "Here's the latest." ""This is the worst Action Classic trip ever." "Skyler's right, my dad is a clown." "Bozo the Clown." "Everything's a big joke to him." "I really hoped this year would be the year we finally won." "I feel like I'm letting down my team by having him here."" " Aw, baby." " Hey, give me that." "What's wrong with you guys?" "This is private." "I used to be proud of my dad." "It's days like this that I miss Mommy more than ever." " Eddie." " Hey." "Naomi wants to drop out of the competition." "Drop out?" "She's been looking forward to this all year." " She wants to go home." " What'd you tell her?" "That we'd talk about it at lunch." " Where is she?" " Look..." "Miss Hulka feels it may be better if you sit out this morning's events." "And unfortunately, I have to agree with her." "Wait a second." "If I don't go down there, she's gonna think I quit on her." " I'm sure she'll understand." " Okay, but you don't understand." "I don't quit on anybody." "I've never been a quitter and I'm not quitting on my own daughter." "I am sorry, Eddie." "Oh, okay, look, CC." "I've never been in the woods before." "I've never slept in a tent." "I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I agreed to come down here." "But I'm here, all I want is a chance to prove to my daughter... that I can do this for real." "What do you say?" "Eddie, still want me to burn this?" "I said don't burn it when you're ironing it." "Thank you." "Oh, no." "What's everybody sitting for?" "Today's the day we kick some booty." " Let's rock 'n' roll." " Dad, now what are you up to?" "No time to talk." "Bucket Brigade starts in five." "We got our work cut out for us if we're gonna win." "Everybody in." "Killer Bees on three." "One, two, three." " Killer Bees." " Buzz, buzz." "I know." "I look hot." "This, young ladies, is the bucket challenge." "You will fill your buckets, you will run the course." "And the first team to fill their barrel is the winner." "If you spill, you're gonna make more trips." "More trips means more time, and that can cost you the win." "Good luck, girls." "Ready?" " Got a license for that thing?" " Starter pistol." "If it's fire power you're looking for, I got plenty." "Believe me, you don't wanna go there." "All right, let's go, kids." "I didn't know if you were gonna make it today, Eddie." "It would have been such a letdown." "Don't spill, Skyler!" "God." "Right in the other ear." "Thank you for that." "Okay, Mom and Dad, you can only touch the bucket... when the runner goes past this line or else you're disqualified." "And you better get ready because I see them coming." " Watch out for the snake." " Where?" "Come on, come on." "Go, go, go!" " Dad!" " Come on, baby." " Come on, come on." " Come on!" " Careful, girls." " Come on, girls." "My grandmother runs faster than you." "Whoa, whoa!" "Catch her!" " Ow!" " Oh, are you okay?" " My ankle." " Hey." "You're over the line." "You touch that bucket, your team's disqualified." "Touching the bucket?" "Get on my back." " Come on." " Get on." " Can he do that?" " Wow, I'm impressed." "Way to go, boss." " Hang on tight." "You hanging on?" " I'm hanging on." "Run!" "Come on." "Skyler's catching up." "Do something." " Come on, Skyler." " Excuse us." " Little help." "Ln your dreams." "Here they come." "Give me the bucket." "Winner!" "Winner!" "Winner!" "I don't know about you, Eddie, but I found this morning exhilarating." "Am I moving too fast?" "I just think maybe you got the wrong idea, Denise." "Eddie, I'm a big girl, I can take it." "If I'm not your type, just say it." "You know, I don't wanna hurt you." "Say it." "I wish you were able to read between the lines." " Say it." " You're not my type." "You shouldn't have said that." "I can never do nothing at this lake." "Whoa, nice legs." "You go, girl." "This is where we get it back." "You have been playing soccer since you were 4 years old." "Yeah, this time, it's in canoes." "Maybe it will be easier." "I like the way you think." "What's wrong with you?" "I..." "I can't swim." "What do you mean you can't swim?" "You're a kid." " Dad." " Oh." "Okay." "All right, look, that's nothing to be ashamed of." "Listen, you do my job and I'll do yours, okay?" "Give me that thing." "Hey, we're teammates." "Try to control your excitement." "Hey." "Can he do that?" " As long as it's a four-person team." " Go chain yourself to the scoreboard." "Perfectly legal." "Get out." "Mom's taking over, Skyler." "Let's go." "And that ball is in play!" "This is what we trained for." " Let's go!" " Hurry up!" "Switch." "Now go for it!" "Row." " Yes!" " All right!" "Yeah!" "There you go, come on." "Now, go for it!" "Oh, come on." "You hit like a girl." "Yes." " Don't let them get it." " You're favoring Killer Bees." " I'm not favoring." " We're supposed to be impartial." "Ladies, we've got 30 seconds." " Ladies and gentlemen, 30 seconds." " Yes!" "Go for it." "Yes!" "Come on, team." "Go team." " Come on, Dad." " Switch." " Go." "I can't, Mom." "I like that!" "Good." "Take it in the face!" " That's game!" "Killer Bees win!" " All right!" "No shame in not being able to swim." "Hey, your team won today." "Congratulations." "Yeah, we won." "But I still feel like I embarrassed Naomi." "We were just starting to connect." "I mean, look at the way I'm dressed." "I mean, we were having fun on the lake until my face broke that paddle." "Being a single dad, and Naomi's mom passing away... I thought this time would be good for us." "But it's been tough with her not being around, you know?" "Nobody can take her place." "I am so sorry." "I had no idea." "I lost my mom when I was young, so I know how hard this can be." "You know, she seems like a really well-adjusted kid." "So you gotta be doing something right." "Believe me, whatever Naomi's got going on... her mom gets all the credit." "You're here, though." "Right?" "That's what counts." "Okay?" "Did your dad ever talk to you about your mom?" "Problem was... the more time went by, the harder it was for us to talk about anything." "He's a good man." " Just kind of stuck in his ways." "You know?" " I know." "Enjoy the view, Eddie." "It always helps me." "Thanks, CC." "Visualizing yourself winning the finals tomorrow, Naomi?" "Swinging your way to victory?" "That's gonna be tough." " I heard last year, one of the girls fell." " Didn't the safety ropes catch her?" "Are you kidding me?" "Those old ropes?" "Poor kid." "Every time they told her not to look down, that's exactly what she did." "Splattered like a watermelon." "Sorry, Skyler." "But I'm not the least bit scared." "Because this year, we're gonna be the winners." "Prove it." "Didn't think so." "Make sure you get some ribs, they're going fast." "Mr. Serrano." " It's Naomi." " Whoa." "Naomi." "Don't move." "Don't move, baby." "I'm coming." "Hold on, hold on." "Don't move." "I'm coming." "Hang on, Naomi." "I'm almost there." "Come on, sweetheart, give me your hand." "It's okay, you gotta trust me." "You gotta trust me." "Come on." "Come on, baby." " Come on, baby." " Daddy." "It's okay." "It's okay." "I got you." "I got you." "You know, you girls should stand up to Skyler." " Don't let her push you around." " I feel sorry for her." " For Skyler?" " Look at her mother." "She's a mutant." "They've been messing with us since we got here." "I mean, what is their problem?" " Have we done anything to them?" " Not yet." "What do you have in mind?" "That tent's not very waterproof." "At least not the way I built it." "It's a defect from the manufacturer." "Got another one coming in overnight." " You guys mind if I hang out in here?" " Sure thing." "We make exception for you one time." " You're all heart." " Catalina." "So, what are we talking about?" "Exacting revenge on Skyler and her mutant mother." "Way to let the beans out, kiddo." " I got a few ideas." " You do?" "I do." "Okay, quiet." "Let's go, girls." "Say hello to my little friend." "I mean, with the..." "I don't get it." "Kids." "Don't look down." "Don't look down." "Daddy!" "This time, do it again, but make your knees shake like Naomi." "Daddy." "Eddie Serrano!" " We are so dead if we get caught." " Oh, quit whining, will you?" " I found the cherries." " I need those." "I need those." "Okay, you girls like chocolate, or a lot of chocolate?" "A lot of chocolate." " Someone's coming." " Hide, hide, hide." " We gotta hide Lula." " Get down, get down." "Hide." "Come here, come here." " No." " Hurry." " Ooh." " Hi." " So I was on my way back to bed." " Good night." "You know, if you have trouble sleeping, warm milk puts me right out." "Thanks, but I could've sworn that I heard voices." "Hearing voices?" "No, I can't write a prescription." "I'm just a lawyer." "No." " Oh, voices." " Yeah." "Yes, that was me working on my closing argument." "You see, Your Honor, the jury has no choice but to find the defendant..." "Guilty." "I usually try to work on not guilty." "So apparently, one of the teams had a run in with a bear tonight." " Is everybody okay?" " Yes, but I will pass on your concern." "Now, the bear went right through the cabin window." "You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?" "Grab her." "Mm." "A bear through a cabin window?" "No." "I mean, you hear about that, but you don't really see bears out here." "Unless you're talking about that bear." "Mm-hm." "The truth is we're throwing him a little party... for doing such a great job tonight." "I know nothing about this." "But you be warned, if that bear is not back in Miss Hulka's office... by the time she wakes up, she will mount your head on a wall." "Okay, look, you're here, huh?" "Why don't you hang out with us?" "I'm making banana splits." "You like ice cream?" " I can't." " Come on." " I can't." " Yes, you can." " I'll take a rain check." " Do you like whipped cream?" "Because:" "I put a lot on." " Good night, Eddie." " Good night." "Rain check." " All clear?" " The party's back on." "Let's go." " I can't believe you let us steal a bear." " Borrow a bear." "And for a good cause." "Nobody calls your old man Bozo and lives to tell about it." "Skyler didn't call you Bozo, that was me." "She only called you a clown because..." "How'd you know I called you Bozo?" "I don't know." "Bozo's a very popular clown name." "Boffo and Bronco are also very common names." " You read my journal." " We're having so much fun." "Dad, how could you?" "What I write in there is private." " I can't believe this." " Look, Naomi, I didn't mean to..." " I can't even trust you." "I knew it." " There's the bear, Mom." "Look." " Oh, and I got it all on tape." "Let's see what Miss Hulka has to say about this." " Hold on." "Wait." "I got enough problems." " Out of my way." "You've been making the girls' life miserable." "Let's call a truce." "You're so going home." "Ever since that day in second grade, you've had it in for me." "I'm a little tired of it." "Out of my way." "You know what I feel like, Sam?" "I want another one of those sundaes." " I am done flirting." "Let's go." " What are you gonna do, hit me?" "You're gonna eat in the middle of a stare down?" "Oh, yeah." "And so are you." "I can't hit a woman." "I can." "Bring it." "It's on." "Hey." "Hey, camp, a great place to get away, fresh air and fisticuffs." " Fight like a man." " Come on, someone's gonna get hurt." "Power it down." "Lula." "No." "Lula." "Oh, Lula." "Who started this?" "Was it you?" " How did she know?" " Quiet." "I want you girls showered and in bed in 15 minutes." "I'm sorry." "Don't blame the girls, okay?" "Just let me..." "I want you to clean this up, and then I want you off my mountain." "Oh, Lula." "Oh, Lula." "Lu." "Lula." "Okay." "I don't..." "I messed up with Naomi." "I don't think she'll trust me again and I'm not sure I blame her." "Well, here's something that might cheer you up." "Stephenson file." "Got it all figured it out." "You know how you're telling me to find the fix?" "I couldn't find the fix because I didn't know what the problem was." "Check this out." "Wait a minute." " You couldn't find the fix." " I hadn't identified the problem." "I was doing all this work." "But not dealing with the actual problem." "You're absolutely right." " You're absolutely right." " I am?" "If I want a relationship with Naomi, I have to deal with my problem." "I'm not following." " There's still time." " For what?" " Can you burn a CD on that?" " Oh, yeah." "Why?" "Harry, we're going back in." "We?" "Oh." "Ow." "Eddie?" " We need a diversion." " Not good under pressure." " It took me eight tries to pass the bar." " Use that." " Right." " Psst!" " What?" " Not on her." "On the pots and pans." "Oh, yeah, yeah." "I knew that." "You think I can't smell a rat in my own kitchen?" "I've flown F-17 Stealth Fighters." "I've survived in the desert for days without food or water." "I've looked death right in the eye and said:" ""Out of my way, poser."" "So tell me, soldier, do I sound like someone you wanna make angry?" "Do I?" "Oh." "Uh, were you talking to me?" "Where's Naomi?" "I think she was at the beach, writing in her journal." " Great." " The one you read, remember?" " I'm gonna get my scissors." " No." "Go back to sleep." ""The one you read, remember?"" "Naomi?" "Your mother was selling cotton candy at the church fair." "And when I saw her... I just kept buying it, just so I could talk to her." "And that night, I saw her sitting on the stairs outside the church hall... inside the band was playing this song, and everybody was dancing." "I wanted to ask her to dance... but I was too nervous." "So instead I just asked her if I could sit with her." "And that's what we did." "We just sat there." "Listening to this song, our song... not saying a word." "And that night, when I went to bed, I was sure of two things:" "That I had met the woman I was gonna marry... and that 13 cotton candies does something terrible to your stomach." "Yeah, I know when it comes to parenting, there's no easy fix." "And your mom was more of a mother to you than I'll ever be, than anyone could ever be." "And I know that I've let her down." "And I know that I've let you down." "Is that why you never talk about her?" "Naomi, I..." "I don't wanna make excuses." "And I don't expect you to understand, really." "And..." "I'm not completely sure I get it." "But I'll always be there for you." "And now when I go to sleep, I'm sure of one thing." "What's that?" "That I love you more than anything else in the world." "I love you too, Dad." "You're late." "You're old." "Let's cut the chitchat and get down to business." " Who are you calling old?" " Gee, let me think." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "This old lady is the one holding the cash." "So listen, you little punk, you will do exactly as I say... or I will find you and I will get back more than this money." "Oh, boy." "After everything I've put you and the girls through... this would just be my way of... you know, making it up to everybody." "What do you say?" "Well, if you really think you can pull this off, you can stay." "Yes." "Eddie." "That was a wonderful thing you did for your daughter out there." "It took a great deal of courage." "You faced your fears, and I dare say, you are a changed man." "Yes, ma'am." "Get Rocky on the phone, call in that favor." "Eddie." "Thank goodness you are back." "We got Denise trouble." "This hat contains four slips of paper... with the name of the four final relay events." "Wow." "One of you will swing your way to survival." "And you will then tag-off to another who will scale the Wall of Destiny." "And finally, the last two will work as a team... high atop the rock, a treacherous ropes course." "The most challenging of all." "All right, hold it right there." "Hey, look." "It's the inverted man." "We're not used to seeing you upside-right." "And his friend, Special Agent Matthews." "And his even better friend, Special Agent Gomez." " What's that?" " I don't know." "You brought the feds?" " What did she want you to do?" " Just mess with some girls." "Slime the ground, a few ropes." "You're looking at two, four, maybe 10 years." " You got any tattoos?" " No, ma'am." "Don't worry, you will." " Unless you boys decide to cooperate." " Okay." " Yeah." " Good." "All right." "All right, Wasps." " Four-time returning champs." " That's us." "You have made your picks." "Killer Bees." " Make your picks." " Not the rock." "Please not the rock." ""Wall of Destiny."" "I'm climbing." ""Vine swing."" "Oh, vine swing." "Cool." "It's okay, you go first." "Oh, no." "I knew it." "I'm on top." "It's okay, I'm drawing your safety line." "I got your back." "You're on the ground." "See you on top." "All right, ladies, let the final challenge begin." "Naomi." "I am not comfortable with you doing the course." " I'll talk to Miss Hulka, see if we can..." " It's okay." "I'll do it." " There is no reason that you have to..." " No, really." "I want to." "All right." "But if you change your mind...." "Go get them, kiddo." "Naomi?" "Like a watermelon." "The two top contenders..." "The Wasps... and the Killer Bees... are tied." "The winning team of the final relay will be crowned... champion of the Spring Action Classic." "First up, the vine-swing challenge." "Good luck, ladies." "Run!" "Ready position." "Ready position." " Looking for someone, Denise?" " I'm surprised they let you back in." "I think today's gonna be full of surprises." "Time to change the baby." "I don't know what you're up to, but it's not gonna work." " Baby go boom-boom." " What?" "Stinky boom-boom for Daddy." "Over." "Gross." "Oh, no." " Oh, not again." " Get up." "Go." "Go." "Where are you?" "You slimed the wrong rope." "What...?" "Mo...?" "Move." "Get out of my way." "You idiots." "What are you doing?" " You didn't say she was gonna attack." " Don't let her take you alive." "Over." "Mission accomplished, boss." " Moving to phase two." " You're enjoying this a little too much." " Go, go, go." " Go where?" "I don't know, just go." "You wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?" "That's the stuff that Denise uses to remove the hair on her..." "That or someone sat on a frog." "Denise?" " I am so disappointed that you would..." " What?" "What?" "It's my new hair gel." "It's from Paris." "I love it." "How many children do I have to take care of?" "What did I ever do to you that day in second grade?" "Is this your way of messing with my head?" "Nice try." "I'm asking, Skyler, because I want to know." "You came to school that day with..." "With what?" "Came to school with what?" "Just forget it." "Skyler, come on, let's go." "Move." " She didn't have to do this." " She'll be all right." "Attagirl, Skyler, straight ahead to the gold." "Come on, you can do this." "Don't look down." "Come on, Naomi, just reach for it." "Reach for it." "You got it, you got it, you got it." "Attagirl, Naomi." "Naomi's taking the lead, look at that." "That's right, Naomi." "We got you, honey." "Get back up there, you can do it." "You can do it, Skyler, just pull yourself back up." "Hold on, Skyler." "I'm coming." "Are you okay?" " What is she doing?" " Thattagirl, Naomi, thattagirl." "Skyler." "Take my hand." "You wanna tell me now?" "You came to school that day with your dad." "He was giving you a piggyback ride." "It's stupid, but I wanted one." " A piggyback ride?" " No." "A dad." "You have a mom." "Hey, quit the chitchat, ladies." "I want my fifth trophy, Skyler." "Let's go." "She's still a mom." "Yeah, my mom." "But I love her." "What do you say we go down the swing together?" "That way, both our teams win." " Both be this year's champions?" " Sure." "Why not?" "For the first time ever, we have two winners." "Hi." "Eddie, Eddie." "He's here." "He's ri..." "Oh, here he is." " Rocky, am I glad to see you." " I told you I owed you, Eddie." " I promised Miss Hulka something big." " The girls are gonna love this." "Slam dunk." "At ease." "Young ladies, you are in for a treat." "Prepare to be blown away." "Let's give a rousing Hulka's Rock welcome... to Nat Wolff and Alex Wolff, The Naked Brothers." "One, two!" "The Naked Brothers Band?" "Dad, how did you get them here?" "This is the coolest." "You are so not a bozo." " You must be proud." " Yes, I am." " You're a good dad." " I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." "I said you're a good dad." "I was thinking for next year, we could do..." " There's no next year." "No." " Oh, there's gonna be a next year." "What?" "I know you got your case on Tuesday." "If you wanna go over files..." " now's a good time." " Got it covered, Eddie." "Feeling very confident." "Beat it." " I didn't see that coming." " How much do you weigh?" "What?" "Close your eyes." "Open."

"And her organs are failing." " (monitor flatlines) - (crying)" "No!" "No!" "(thunder rumbling)" ""She was my north, my south," ""my east and west." ""My working week, my Sunday rest." ""My noon..."

"Oh, I can't count." "Let me do it." "(sniffles)" "Oh, Rayna would hate us all packed in her kitchen like this." "She would just chase us right out." "Okay." " Hey." " Hi, Pam." " Oh, thank you." " I'm so sorry." "(dramatic music)" "(sighs)" " Come be with us." " Okay." "Just you for a second?" " (sighs)" " Too many people." "Oh, I know, sweetheart." "We gotta hold onto each other so tight today." "Do you know where your daddy's at?" "Uh..." "I don't know." "Okay." "I need you two to stay together today." " Can you do that?" " Come on." "(indistinct chatter)" " Hi." " Uh..." "Would you mind helping to pass these around to people?" " Um..." " Thank you very much." "No problem." "You seen Deacon anywhere?" "No, I haven't." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I have to change her." "Is there somewhere I can change her?" "Of course, you come with me down here." "(sighs)" "Hey, man, let me take that for you." "This must be weird enough for you as it is." "Yeah, sort of." "Thanks." "Tell me this is a dream." "God, I wish it was." "Oh, Watty." "She was a great lady, to state the obvious."

"I didn't know her very long, but I always felt a very deep connection with her, and..." "Okay, sorry, someone stop me from talking right now." "To living every day of your life." "(chuckles)" "She's getting so big." " I know..." " It happens fast." "You always think we have all the time in the world." "I was gonna give you a call at some point." "Look, we don't need to deal with this right now." "But the CMT people called." "They're trying to figure out a replacement for Rayna." "Someone to sing a tribute to her." " Who are they talking about?" " They're talking about Faith." " Faith?" " I'm sorry." "I know this isn't the best time to be bringing this up." "Oh, I want you to call them, and tell them that I am the only person who should be doing that." "I was the closest to Rayna." "I think they're just worried you're not well enough." "I'm absolutely damn well enough." "Just call them, please?" "All right, I'm on it." "(knocking)" "Deacon?" "(door creaking)" "I just came to see how you were doing." "If I could bring you anything at all." "Is it still raining?" "I don't know." "What's the time?" "Do you want to come out for a minute?" "You can be like this." "You can be any way you need to be." "We're family." "Um..." "Zach gave me this for you." "It's of you, Rayna and the girls." "Y-You don't have to look at it now." "We had some good years together." "Me and Rayna." "I mean, with the girls." "How long did they let you out for?" "Just three days." "Standard bereavement leave." "So where's Deacon?" "He's still in his bedroom." "Hardly had a word with him." "I don't know what's gonna happen." "You know, everyone will somehow go on." "Isn't that what we're supposed to do?" "I mean, the girls." "I'm worried." "Deacon is barely functioning." "We've got the lawyers tomorrow, and all the Highway 65 stuff to deal with." "I just think Deacon's not gonna be able to cope with anything like that right now." "I know." "And Zach just told me that Highway 65 just bought Wheelin' Dealin' Records." "And that that payment's due for starters." "I think for now, you and I should be the ones to handle all of this." "You're hungry, huh?" "I know." "You know you're hungry." " Oh!" "Hey!" " Hey!" "Good news." "You're on." "CMT said yes." " You're kidding me!" " No." " That's amazing!"

"Take care now." "Thanks... you too." "Hey, I was wondering." "Am I still in your phone?" "Yeah, of course you are." "Okay." "Good to know." "I just..." "I didn't think it'd be right with us working together." "Well, I am not exactly one to stand on ceremony, if you know what I mean." "Yeah." "I think I do." "Hey, have you seen Clay anywhere?" "No." "How you holding up?" "I'm not." "I just look like I am." "You remind me so much of Rayna." "Thank you." "You have her fire." "Why can't everybody just go home?" "Let's just get you to bed, sweetheart." " I'm not even sleepy." " I know, baby." "Have you seen Clay anywhere?" "No, I haven't seen him in a while, sorry." " There you are." " (door closes)" "Hey."

"Look, I'm so sorry." "I know you're in pain." "I just..." "You can go." "Look, Maddie, I want to be here for you." "I do, it's just..." "No, I'm good." "It's fine." "Look I'm s..." "I'll call you." "You okay?" "Uh, we still got a few working bathrooms." "I can't find Bucky anywhere." "And somebody lost their car keys, but..." "You must be exhausted." "Let me make you some tea."

" Good morning." "I'm sorry we meet under these circumstances." "All right, I'll just get right to it." "We have an unusual situation here." "It appears the deceased had not appointed guardianship for the children." "And subsequently for the estate prior to her death." " That's unbelievable." " But not uncommon." "We find that when people remarry, they may take some time to reappoint guardianship." "When an estate is in probate, we need to establish guardianship both for the children and for any businesses such as Highway 65." "Usually, guardianship of the children and the business is held by the same person until they become of age." "It's imperative that this be established as soon as possible." "Well, Daphne is my daughter and Maddie too, for that matter." "I legally adopted her." "It's not that simple." "Actually, Mr. Conrad is correct." "He is Daphne's biological father." "And he is legally Maddie's adopted father." "I was about to say that this can be contested by anyone who feels they have the right to do so." "If the guardianship is contested by anyone, a court date will have to be set." "And a judge will hear testimony in order to reach a decision." "Testimony from whom?" "The children mostly." "It's not 100%, but a judge would definitely factor in what the children have to say about this." "I feel numb." "Right now, all I can think about is Daphne and Maddie." "Deacon hasn't said one word to me about the girls." "I don't know what to do." "Well, my lawyers say I'll be out in three months." "The point is, I'll definitely be back here soon." "Thank God." "The girls have been with you from the beginning." "You should be their guardian." "And what about Maddie's testimony in court about Deacon?" "What?" "No!" "None of that was even true!" "You can't hold that against him!" "I won't let you!" " There's more to it than that, honey." " How can you possibly decide this for us?" "Look, it's not just me." "We all have to agree." "How's that ever gonna happen?" " Dad?" " Yeah?" " Dad, I'm so scared." " Come here, baby..." "No, listen." "Teddy and Tandy are saying that you aren't fit to be my father." " Is that right?" " Yes." "Teddy thinks he should be our guardian." "They're planning to do something behind your back." "Ain't nothing like that is gonna happen." " No, something bad is going to happen!" " All right, listen, I..." "I know it!" "You have to do something right now!" "I'll figure this out, okay?" "(sighs)" "Okay, thank you, yeah." "It's good." "Yes, I will." "Was that your parole officer?" "It's confirmed." "I'm gonna be out in three months." "That's wonderful." "What's all that?" "Oh, just some papers that the lawyer gave me." "I'd like to take a look at 'em." "Of course." "We should all look at them together." "And it looks like I'm gonna be here to handle whatever needs to be done, so..." "Yeah." "Congratulations on being released from prison." "Deacon, Teddy's just trying to help." "We know that you're not up for this right now." " I mean, who would be?" " I would be." "Highway 65 needs a steady hand." "We want to make sure that we don't lose everything that Rayna worked so hard for." "You don't think that's what I want?" "Rayna was my wife, right?" "We discussed every single business decision ever made at Highway 65." "Well, then you'll remember that I put millions of dollars of my own money into Highway 65." "And I'd really like to see that it succeeds." "I just think you both need to back off a little bit, that's all." "Well, I guess we'll just have to see what the judge has to say about all this." "Yes." "Let's do that." "I'm looking forward to it." "Hey, Clyde it's me." "I just don't really know what's going on with you, or me, or... anything right now." "So just call me, okay?" "Hey." "MADDIE: (groans) I want to run away." " You can't." " I know." "I just don't want to deal with anything right now." "Why is everybody whispering around here?" "Seriously, what is going on?" "Aunt Tandy and Teddy and Dad, they're all trying to figure out who our guardian should be." "And if they can't agree, then a judge has to decide." "I just want Mom." "Me too." "I dreamt last night that she was still alive." "I heard her singing." "I heard her too." "What do you think that means?" "I don't want to choose who my dad's gonna be." "I don't think it's really gonna be our decision anyways." "That's why I'm so scared." "What if the judge says you go with Deacon and I don't..." "No." "Listen, Daphne," "I would never let them split us up, I promise." "What if you can't stop them?" "(sighs)" "(sighs)" "That was her favorite." "Deacon, we have to talk." "About what?" "Giving up my girls?" "(sighs)" "Here's what's true, Deacon." "You're a musician." "You love music." "And you play the hell out of it." "But you couldn't run Highway 65." "Not on your very best day." "And, of course, you love the girls, absolutely." "But are you ready to raise them by yourself, without Rayna?" "Taking care of every little thing that they need?" "I don't think so." "And if this thing's going to court," "I think any judge will agree." "Now do you really want to put the girls through this?"

"Hey, it's wonderful." " Hey." "I didn't know you were here." " What's going on?" "Feels like I can't feel myself." " Here, come here." "Sit down." " (sighs)" "You just started walking." "Take a minute." "I just feel really off." "Well, it's only natural." "It's been a while." "I don't feel... it's not feeling rusty at all." "I just feel... like I'm watching myself from across a room." "Can't feel it in here at all." "Hey, you will." "I know you." "Can I help with that?" "No, it's all done." "(sighs)" "I know this is so difficult, right now." "I just want you to know that I love you, and that I'm here for you." "I love you too." "I know that we haven't got to see each other a lot." "But my memories of you and your sister are the only thing that kept me sane while I've been... while I've been gone." "Look, your Aunt Tandy, and I, we've been talking." "And we think it would be best if I took care of you and Daphne because I can." "Hey, Deacon." "You really are low." "I'm just telling her the truth." "You're trying to manipulate my daughter, that's what..." "No, no, hold on..." "I'm not trying to manipulate..." "Get out." "Now, Teddy, get out." "I was there for her for 17 years." "And on top of that, I was never declared a threat to my daughter in a court of law!" "Are you gonna hit me?" "Huh?" "Is that what you want to do?" "Maddie, let's go." "Hi." "I, um..." "I got your message." "I didn't think you'd come." "Well, I thought that's what you wanted." "I didn't really know what I wanted." "(door closes)" "It's really good to see you." "I've been thinking about you so much." "And, like, remembering when my mom died." "I never dealt with it." "People just kept telling me to be a man." "Whatever that's supposed to mean." "I just..." "I figured a man wasn't supposed to feel anything." "You were all alone?" "That's exactly what I did to you." " I let you down." " No, you didn't." "I just... really wanted you to be my side, that's all." "Look, I can do that." "Maddie, I can definitely do that." "Good, because this really hurts." "It's an unusual place to hold a business meeting." "Yeah, I like to change things up." "Art inspires me." "And... this isn't a business meeting." "Yeah, I know." "I'd love to take you to Berlin sometime." "They have amazing museums." "(laughs) You are something else." "Really?" "Well, I think you must know that." "People are probably pretty overwhelmed by you." "You mean who they think I am." "You know, you have a surface too." "Would you like to be judged by it?" "Let's see, um... gorgeous, happy." " Anything going on up there, though?" " All right, I see your point." "But there is a balance of power thing happening here that I'm kind of uncomfortable with." "Yeah, I know." "We've established that." "But what's really wrong with a few perks if it's easy for me?" "Why do you feel like you always give people something?" "'Cause I'm a dweeb. (laughs)" "Okay?" "I want people to like me." " I think you're doing pretty well." " I'm just being honest with you." "(sighs) Well, I think..." "You think too much, Will." "Look..." "Every single one of us knows that we're gonna die." "And armed with that information, we're supposed to somehow go on living." "That, my friend, is a reason to try to go through life in pairs." "If you go through at all." " What is it?" " I just listened to my session." "And?" "It's so strange to hear me singing Rayna's song." "Yeah, I can imagine." "But you are singing it for her." "I just don't want to let everybody down." "Look, Juliette, this isn't about you at the end of the day, right?" "It's about Rayna." "And as long as you keep that as your focus, everything's gonna be fine." "You have to eat something." "I never want to eat another casserole in my life." "I wish none of this was happening." "I know." "It's a lot to deal with." "At first, we have to get through the CMT tribute to your mom tomorrow." " I'm not going." " Sweetie..." "Why should we have to show how we feel in public?" "Because your mother meant the world to so many people." "And it would help them to see us together coming out for her." "She wouldn't make me go." "But she would want you to." "You don't know everything about her, okay?" "Well, maybe not." "But she was my sister." "And we shared things that only sisters can know about." "And you know what I'm talking about." "Well, that went well." "I miss seeing her in the kitchen." "You okay, baby?" "Why did Mom have to die?" "I don't know." "Life can be so very beautiful, and then... really cruel." "It's hard to understand why some things happen to some people and not to others." "But why are we even alive if we have to die?" "I believe we are... we're all here for a reason." "We all got these lights inside of us." "We've got to let them shine the best we can with the time we've got." "And your mama, she shined so bright." "And the brightest part of her life was you and your sister." "She just thought the sun rose and set in your eyes." "I don't know how to pick who my dad's gonna be." "It's gonna be all right, sweetheart." "I promise you that it's gonna be all right." "No, it's not." "If I choose my dad," "Deacon and Maddie's gonna hate me." "I choose Deacon, my dad's gonna hate me." "Either way, I lose." "(sighs)" "Tandy, can you please take the girls to their seats?" " Sure." " Thanks." "Be right there." "Can I talk to you for a second?" "Yeah." "These girls are going through hell." "Anybody can see that." "It's hard enough on 'em as it is without all this crap we're putting them through." "See, the thing is, I feel like their father." "I do." "But we got to put an end to this for their sake." "Why don't you go ahead and be the guardian?" "Um..." " Thank you, Deacon." " Yeah." "Really, I don't know what to say, just..." "Yeah, thanks." "(crowd applausing)" "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our celebration of country's very best." "We have a great show in store for you tonight." "But first, as you all know, we have lost one of our own." "The incredibly talented Rayna James." "And I'd like to start out our tribute tonight with someone that you all know, singing, "By Your Side", Will Lexington." "(applause)" "Thank y'all very much." "This one's for you, Rayna."

"I know, and she would be so happy to know that you're here for her." "No, she wouldn't, not really." " Two minutes." " Okay." "I couldn't do it." "Ms. Barnes?" "Hold onto your shorts!"

"PETE:" "You know what, Taco?" "I'm gonna get this." "I got a promotion, I'm riding a three-game winning streak." "I mean, you got to give yourself little treats every now and then, right?" "TACO:" "You know what?" "You're right." "We are two captains of industry." "We need to spoil ourselves once in a while." "You know what I could really use?" "Another sock." " Man's got to have two, Taco." " I'm gonna see if I can find one." "Uh, sir, there's a problem with your card." "There shouldn't be." "That's really... (cell phone ringing) I'm sorry." "Excuse me one second." "Hello?" "Hi, Mr. "Eek-hart." This is Ann Marie from your credit card company." "This is Pete Eckhart." "Mr. Eek-hart, I'm calling because we see a purchase here for $210 at a men's boutique." "That's because I am buying a $210 sweater from a men's boutique." "Really?" "You?" "Uh, I'll have you know this is not the first fine item that I've purchased." "Actually, I'm looking at your purchasing history, and I don't see anything close to a high-end store;" "I just see a lot of Old Navy, more Old Navy." "and lots of Jimmy Cheffo's Meatball Experience." "I like Jimmy Cheffo's Meatball Experience." "What's the problem?" "I'm just trying to look out for you." "Your economic profile has you listed as "working poor."" "I'll have you know I recently got a promotion," "I am on a three-game winning streak in my league." "I mean, it's an eight-team league, but it's still very competitive considering... (woman yawns)" " Are you yawning right now?" " Sorry, what were you saying?" "Why don't you head over to Jimmy Cheffo's, get yourself a meatball sub and wake up?" "No, thank you." "I'm happy with the E coli that I have." "Okay, it should be good now." "Thanks." "Okay." "(Pete sighs)" " Hi." " Hi." "I really like your sweater." "You know, I've been on a bit of a winning streak lately, and I thought I would splurge." "Well, I'd like to see your winning streak continue." " You would?" " I would." " I'm Pete, by the way." " Georgia." "Oh, Georgia." "Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you." " Check it out." " How do I look?" " Where did you get that, Taco?" "Found it in a room back there." "There are no price tags on anything, so it's all free." "They also have a bunch of stun guns, but I have too many of those already." " Good shopping with you, Pete." " Yep." "KEVIN:" "How long were you planning on staying here tonight?" "RUXIN:" "Just long enough to miss dinner with my family, so that I can sit in front of the TV and eat dinner alone." " JENNY:" "Hey, guys." " Hey..." "Gonna be all right, sweetie?" " Yeah." " All right, go up and change." "Come down for dinner in a little bit, okay?" "What's wrong with her?" "Oh, she had a really rough basketball practice." "She said the coach is like a drill sergeant." "I think you should go talk to that coach." "I don't like her talking to them like that." "No, no, no, no, no, no." "Come on, Kevin, go." "You do love arguing with lesbians." "Just 'cause she is a female basketball coach, you can't say that she's a lesbian." " She is... she's got to be." " Hey, Ellie!" " No, it's all right..." " Stop." " Is your coach a lesbian?" " Stop it!" " Hey, hey, hey, hey." " She can tell... kids can tell." " We don't talk about it." " Yeah, it's a cultural unmentionable." "Really?" "Yeah, the way Asians are great at string instruments." "So I can't mention that NBA players universally cheat on their wives." "No, it is a cultural unmentionable." "It offends every Kardashian." "So I'm not allowed to talk about that Ethiopians are always parking attendants." " No, you are not." " That Israelis all deal cell phones." " They do." " No, but you can't talk about it, sweetie." "That Africans have very yellow eyes, or that eating dinner next to a table from Texas is unbearable." " Of course." " Not out loud." " You know what, then?" "I'm going home." " Great." "That was easy." "You have seriously violated the entire dating protocol." "What, by having sex with you before dinner instead of after?" " Bingo!" "Yes." " Mmm." "I now am under no obligation to buy you food." "You're going to starve." "Well, you know, next time, I'll try to get it right." "Speaking of getting it right, we should be sitting up at that nice table by the window." "I'm good here." "I'm just fine." "Oh, you're good, you like it here by the bathroom?" "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm." "Okay, that means... stomach problem, a coke habit, maybe?" " Neither." " Neither, hmm, okay." "I'm married." "To your job or..." "to the sea?" " No." " Okay, all right." "Is, um... is that going to be a problem?" "Um..." "Why so glum, chums?" "It's the last weekend before playoffs." "Come on!" "Says the person who's already in the playoffs." "Yes!" "My team's up shit creek, and I need a win and some help." " I'm in the same boat." " Me, too." "ANDRE:" "I'm freaking out." "I'm losing my clear hair over this." "How will you know?" "Will you find clumps of nothing in the sink?" " No, it's a real thing, okay?" " Hey, guys." " Hey." " Hey." "Okay, congratulations." "You got a job." " That's good." " No, just a fan." " A fan?" "Fan of what?" " Security." "Yeah, everyone's such a big fan of the Bears in this town." "Uh-uh, not this guy." "I love Security." "Wait, you think Security is an NFL team?" "See them out there on the field on Sunday?" "Man, they did such a good job." "What would the mascot of Security be?" "It's usually, like, a huge white man in a tiny lawn chair or a tiny black man in a huge collared shirt." "Go, Security!" "(cell phone vibrating)" " Yeah." " Go, Security..." "All right, guys." "I got to bust out." "I got a date with the lady." "When do we get to meet this secretive lady you're keeping from us?" "Eh, whatever." "Have you crossed over the perv Rubicon into... underage ladies?" "No." "No, it's nothing like that." "I just got involved with a..." "married woman." " (gasps) Peter!" " Oh..." "Man, that's, uh..." "that's... that's wrong." "You shouldn't do that." "That hurts people." "Try that again like you're not in a hostage video." "You know what?" "It's disgusting, Pete." "Look, I'm not doing anything wrong." "I'm just not stopping her from doing wrong things to me which happen to feel great." "Hey, every girl that I've ever dated also was seeing somebody else, too." "I once got so drunk I married a married woman." "This is going to be so exciting for you, Pete." "I mean, sneaking around." "You're going to have to go incognito, you know, very cloak-and-dagger stuff." " You know what you need?" " Are you talking about hats?" " Yes, I am." "You want some?" " I don't want any." "(whistle blows) Come on, ladies, hustle!" "That's pathetic." "Come on, move." "Listen, you don't dive for a loosball, you do push-ups." "Now, get on the floor." "Give me 20." "Come on..." "What is that?" "Come on, what are you, a little girl?" "I think that's exactly what she is." "Ashley, get back in line." "No more bullshit." "Whoa, you're like a female Bobby Knight." " Bobby Knight's a pussy." " Okay." "I'm Kevin MacArthur." "I'm Ellie's father." "Why are you here?" "I think, uh..." "I think Ellie's having a bit of a problem." "Yeah, I know she is." "What she's bringing is weak shit." "Really?" " Mm-hmm." " Weak shit...?" "Look, that's a trick shot." "She get that weak shit from you?" "No, my shit is not weak." "My shit is... strong." "Want to show me your "strong?" Drop down and give me 20 right now." "(Kevin laughs) I'm not going to give you 20." "No." " Get down!" " All right, I'm a man..." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "I could probably give you two or three really good ones in a row, so..." "Here we go." "(grunting)" " (straining):" "One." " That's pathetic." "Tell your daughter no more weak shit." "She's got to lean in." "Coach Crowley," "I'd like to file a complaint with how you've been treating Chloe lately." "What the hell is this, a PTA meeting?" " Get on the floor!" " Okay." "Come on, if you want to be in my gym, you got to sweat." " This is insane." " Own it." "Are you kidding?" "This is the third time I've been here to complain this week." "Why?" "It reminds me of the best parts about being in prison." "Come on, let's go!" "Yeah, I started making vodka in my basement toilet." " Oh, my God." " That's weak!" "Babe, I'm home." "How did it go, talking to Ellie's coach?" "Um, I got to be honest with you, I kind of think that she has a point." "I think that she's motivating these girls to become better athletes." "They need to lean in." " Lean in?" " Yeah, lean in." ""Lean in" is meaningless." "That is the white-collar version of "get 'er done," okay?" "No." "You got to get back over there and talk to her." "She is being too hard on them." "I mean, if you want me to talk to her again, I guess..." "You know what, fine, I'll go over and talk to her." " No, I'll talk to her again." " (groans):" "Oh, my God, okay." "Ah, that's really great to see you guys on the same page in your marriage." " How is married life for you, Peter?" " It's incredibly frustrating right now." "I can't meet her here, I can't meet her there..." "Sounds like you need a super-secret plan... you know, follow her into her dress shop, wait until she goes into the dressing room, then you follow behind and you slam the door..." " You look at her..." " Okay, hold on a second." " Andre, Andre..." " ...you cup her breasts..." " All right, enough!" " Are you reading Danielle Steel again?" "Well, I haven't stopped." "You know, I like to complete an author." "She's got, like, 178 books!" "What's wrong about reading a book that can make you moist?" "(disgusted groans) I can't say "moist"?" " No!" " "Moist" is the classy "wet."" "(disgusted groans) You don't know..." " Stop!" "You know what?" " Okay, fine." "Let me explain to you the modern-day affair." "It's about, she tells me she's going to the gym," "I have to drive 50 minutes across town, through traffic, to get there." " It's extremely complicated." " Doesn't seem that complicated for her." "I don't think you are her first, Pete..." "She didn't break the seal of adultery on you." " You're not that special." " Um, excuse me, you don't know her." " Georgia is a very nice person..." " I'm sure she is..." "She happens to be unhappy in her marriage, but she's promised me that I am the first man that she's ever slept with outside of her marriage." "(loud laughter)" "Oh, and why is this so funny?" "Okay." "You know what, that is the female version of "Officer, I swear to God she looked 18."" "Enough, all right?" "I'm not gonna sit here and listen to this just 'cause you guys are jealous that I'm having a great time." "No, I'm sure she's telling you the truth." "She's not lying to you." "She's never lied to anyone except her husband, children, family, in-laws, everyone else she feels is sacred in her life." "(Peter mumbling) Jesus Christ, Andre!" " I have a proposition for you." " Okay." "I live close to Georgia's gym, and I was thinking maybe you might want to use my place as your love nest." "Sure." "Also, what is the catch?" "Maybe a trade." "A trade?" "Well, let me see what you have in mind." "Okay, look, right after I traded to Jenny, Reggie Wayn got hurt." "My wide receiver corps sucks, all right?" "All right, well, I'll tell you what, I do have a pretty shitty stable of running backs, so if you get me Le'Veon Bell..." "Wait." "I gave you my apartment." "Andre, it's not a trade unless you give me a player as well." "Yeah, but I did you a fav..." " Fine, what do you got?" " I'll give you Jordy Nelson," " I'll give you Julio Jones..." " Julio Jo..." "Isn't he on the I.R.?" "The designated I.R., which means he will be coming back for your big playoff push, all right?" " I don't know." " Andre, this is such a win for you, okay?" "You get Jordy Nelson, you get the definitely-coming-back Julio Jones, and you get to be my adultery accomplice... all for Le'Veon Bell?" " Well, my friend, you have a deal." " Nice!" "All right..." "Oh, already shook on it." "All good." "(Andre chuckles) (quietly):" "Sucker." "(quietly):" "Sucker." "♪ ♪" "Hey!" "No!" "Wait!" "Security!" "Help me!" "He's got my purse!" "Security!" "Whoo!" "Security number one!" " Whoo!" "Go team!" " What are you doing?" "(chants):" "Security!" "Security!" "Come on, you guys, move!" " What did I tell you, huh?" " Move, you little maggots, move!" "This is incredible..." "I'm getting season tickets." "This is the best show in town." "What is this?" "You're sleepwalking." "Come on." "I don't know, I'm just not into the tshik-zilla thing." "Guess my type is more of just a tiny Latin woman who obliterates me." "(blows whistle)" "What was that, guys?" "Yes!" "Sorry." "Wow...." "I don't know, I just can't see beyond her wrath." "You..." "I..." "I just see beyond the jacket..." " What are you guys doing here?" " You told me to talk to the coach." "You need to get low and move, like we practiced." "You didn't even listen to me." "Oh..." "I get it." ""Lean in" is actually just about seeing Coach's cleavage, right?" "No." "I was defending her because I feel like she's motivating Ellie to become a better athlete; it's working." "Really?" "Has nothing to do with the fact that she's just a little bit hot?" "No, it's a lot bit because she's terrifying." " I can't even look at you." " She is terrifying." "She's, like, right out of a Saw movie." " Pussies." " Feel the burn." "Hey, babe." "I will see you in a couple of minutes, okay?" "Maybe in the lobby." "Hi." "Jenny MacArthur." "How are you?" "I was hoping I could talk to you about my daughter..." "Listen, lady, make an appointment." "Oh, um, well, you know, I'm right here, so..." "And she's having a really tough time, and I was just hoping we could talk." "Oh, okay, I see where your daughter learned to whine." "What?" "I thought she got her lack of sack from your husband, but she's got no sack because you've got no sack." " Oh-ho." "I have sack." " Oh, yeah?" " I got a really big sack." " Mm-hmm?" "Yeah, you have a big..." " Hairy lady's sack?" " Okay, now she's my type." "Yeah." "In fact, I bet my sack is bigger than your sack, Coach." "Well, then sack up, Ms. MacArthur." "I'm telling you, I got a full-on anger chub right now." " Move over." " Wind sprints." "Now." " What?" " Now!" "Go!" " O..." "O..." "Okay." " Come on, faster, let's go." "What is my wife doing?" "I believe she's showing us all her giant, hairy sack." "Stacking up, huh?" "Let's go, show me that sack." "This... is my sack." "This is my big... hairy lady sack." "Huh?" "Huh?" "Yeah!" "That's my sack." "Suck it!" "I'm about to show y'all what's inside my sack." "All right, well, I hope these terrible furnishings don't ruin the mood." "You know, I have to pick my daughter up in an hour..." "I'm not worried about mood." "Oh, we're just... we're going?" "I like it." "Let's just go for it." "(chuckles) The bedroom's right this way." "Bonjour." "Welcome to Cafe de la Andre." " I've cooked up some huevos." " Who is this guy?" "I'm the accomplice." "Nice to meet you, Georgia." " How does he know my name?" " I'm sorry." "Mrs. Thompson." "Andre, you said I could use your "love nest."" "It's not a love nest when there's already another bird in it, do you understand?" "Yeah, but this bird is blind and deaf..." "I won't hear a thing." "This is incredibly inappropriate." "I mean, what..." "You made food?" " What are we doing?" " It's a little postcoital snack." "(disgusted groans)" "Look, I support what you guys are doing." "It's very European." "Europeans are liberal, they're not creepy." "I know a lot of creepy Europeans." " You should come to my squash club." " All right, you need to go." " Where do you want me to go?" " Away!" "Out..." " Hey." " Hi." "Andre, what the hell are they doing?" "I just realized, I... kind of double-booked." "You double-booked?" "Yeah, they're coming over to see the Bulls game..." "Great." "Hi." "...and they were coming over to celebrate their love..." "No...!" "Guys, this is my..." "Yah!" "This is my good friend..." " Georgia." " Hi." "Hi." "Georgia." "Hi, friend." "Friend Jenny." "I'm also friends with him." " Not that way." " No." "Not in that way." "Uh, what do you do, Georgia?" "When I'm not using my marriage vows as toilet paper?" "You know, let's get out of here, let's go." " We should probably go." " No." "No." "No, no, no, no, stay, stay." " I am sorry." " Not gonna happen." " All right, next Thursday?" " Next time." "Okay." "Nice to meet you." "Wow, Pete, she is a real keeper." "Is what her husband must have thought when he pledged his life to her." "Thank you." "Andre, what the hell happened to the whole cloak-and-dagger thing?" "Well, I got the cloak." "I just forgot the dagger." "Andre, I need you to pick up some more condoms, please." "Oh." "You triple booked?" " Him, I did not know about." " Ooh, eggs." "The biggest shocker in this moment is that Taco uses condoms." "So, you're still sticking with the jacket thing?" "What can I say?" "I'm a die-hard fan." "You should see the guy at the bank..." "he wears the whole outfit all day long." "Okay." " Ooh, Good." "Phew!" " Excuse me?" " Oh, my God!" " What are you doing?" " Oh, my hair?" " Yeah." " It's a wig." "Yeah, it's a wig." " No!" "Why does your wig look exactly like Pete's hair?" "Because it's light, it's breezy, it's fun." "Like a Nancy Meyers movie?" "Yeah." "You'd love to see this wig's kitchen." "I don't understand why you're wearing a wig." "Pete and I should both be wearing wigs, okay?" "He's out there having an affair with this married woman." "This husband could find him at any second, and me..." "I'm an adultery accomplice." " Who knows what's coming into my world?" " No, that's not it." " You just anted an excuse to buy a wig." " I could grow this at any time." "ALL:" "Really?" " Yes." " Why don't you let it grow?" "I keep it tight like Jay Glazer." "Come on, you're as transparent as the clear hair that you don't have." "What is this shit?" "Trade rejected?" "I don't know." "I guess it just had the votes to get vetoed." "That was a completely fair trade." "How could you...?" " Jesus Christ, what are you...?" " What?" "BOTH:" "Are you...?" " It's the real thing." " I can't even deal with this right now." " Quiet." "Who vetoed my trade?" " I did." " BOTH:" "Why?" " Because I don't like what you're doing?" "BOTH:" "What?" "Stop." "I don't agree with what you've done to the sanctity of marriage." " Because it's not right?" " No, because it's not fair." "I mean, it's bad enough that you flaunt not being married in our face, but now you're peeing all over an actual marriage, so I've decided to take a thick, hot, dehydrated, yellow, ropey pee all over your trade." "This has nothing to do with fantasy football." "You guys are vetoing my relationship with Georgia." " Stop it, Andre." " Okay." "There is no space for morality in this league." "I'm out." "Pass the tissues." "We all got issues." "I really find Hair Andre less annoying." "You guys have to box out." "Get back." "That's just terrible!" "Come on, what is this?" "!" "Wow, she is erotically disapproving." "Goddamn it, knew I shouldn't have taken the over." " What is the over?" " Eight." " Speaking of scores..." " Go on, take it in." "...I am kicking your ass." "As long as Pete loses, I'm still in the playoffs." "Babe, they gave us the team photo." "Check this out." "Oh, my God!" "Yeah, looks like a basketball internment camp." "They're a bunch of hostages sitting there." "She's such a bitch!" " That is full-on shtetl porn." " Ladies, that's pathetic bullshit!" "You see how disapproving she looks?" "Goddamn it, I hate you all." "You're not my friends anymore." " BOTH:" "Oh." " This is unbelievable." "I was not able to pick up Le'Veon Bell, so what do I have to do?" "I start Chris Ivory who gives me shit?" "Now, I will not go to the playoffs because you don't like that my girlfriend is married." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, shh." "I wouldn't speak too loud." "Mrs. Thompson's over there with her husband." "I guess her daughter plays for the opposing team." " Move, you little maggots!" " Come on, what is this?" "!" " Oh." "Hey, Georgia." " Shh!" " Taco, cut it out." " Jesus Christ!" "All right." " Don't... don't look." "Don't look." " Box out!" " Get back on defense, guys." " Oh." "Uh-oh." "We're just sitting here talking, and nothing is hap..." "Uh-oh." "No, no, no." "He's looking at us." "Jenny, make out with me real quick, 'cause it'll look like we're together." "God, I'm not gonna make out with you." "Fine." "I'll jump on the grenade, Jenny." "Let's make out." "No, Taco, I'm not making out with you, either." "I mean, why don't you guys just make out with each other, right?" "He's not..." "Hold on." "I'll tell you if he's looking." " Where'd he go?" " Joey, who are you guarding?" " Do you know someone over there?" " No." "We're gonna smile, and we're not gonna look." " Come on, ladies, hustle." " That's pathetic." " Hello." "This is Tony Thompson." " Hi, Mr. Thompson." "This is Ann Marie from Fraud Early Warning." "There's been quite a few purchases on your account recently from Jimmy Cheffo's Meatball Experience, which makes us think that your card might have been compromised." "Jimmy...?" "No." "Jimmy Cheffo's?" "I've never eaten at that dump." "Oh, well, it looks like your wife Georgia's name is also on the card." "Maybe she ate there without you." "You're telling me that my wife ate at Jimmy Cheffo's?" "Why would she do that?" "We're foodies." "We don't eat at places like that." "We could be watching High Life for all I know." " Seriously." "It's crazy." " Come on, move!" " Cheffo, Cheffo, Cheffo." " Oh, it's so good." " Oh!" " Son of a bitch." "You know, Tony, based on your purchasing history, she's very lucky to have you." "I have to go." " Oh, shit." " I can't believe you, Georgia." "Hey?" "Hey, scumbag!" " Oh, shit." " You, scumbag, you screwing my wife?" "You having a meatball experience with my wife?" " Tony, just settle down." " I'm not gonna settle down." " Stand up." " Security, security, stand up." " Sit down, shit bag." " Yup." " You..." "let's go." " You know what?" " We're gonna talk about this." " Talk about this?" " I don't think so, asshole." " Oh, shit." "Oh, shit." "Okay." "Come back here, you chicken shit!" " Wow." "This is so embarrassing." " Your husband's a real dick." " He is, isn't he?" " That's an expensive-looking sandwich." "For the record, she made the first move!" "I don't give a shit!" " Oh..." " Oh, God." "Hey..." "Oh, Jesus." "You wanking in the closet to the team picture?" "Come on!" "I'm blocking the kids." "I'm just locked in on that coach's death stare." " Where are you, asshole?" " Shh!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "I can't!" "The jack train's left the station." " Have some self-respect, Ruxin." " Next stop is vinegar stroke Central." " Stop it!" " I can't!" " Stop!" " Too late!" "(both groaning)" "(both sighing) Oh, those clackers are really meaty." "They were meatier a minute ago." "(Pete yells)" "(Ruxin sighs) (panting)" "Clean-up on Aisle Me." "(panting)" "Where'd you go, pussy?" "Yes." "Gonna make the playoffs." "(grunting) Dick!" "Oh, shit." "(Andre groans) I'm just the accomplice." "(thudding)" "Hello?" "Hello?" "(moaning) Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Andre, what are you doing here?" "What?" "This is my bedroom." "What are you doing here?" "Having sex with a woman." "Maybe you should try it some time." " Hey." " By the way, I found this." " What...?" " Get back in the kitchen where you belong." " Make us some eggs, bitch." " Wait a second." " I could be your adultery accomplice." " Over easy." "Benedict." "All right, this is great." "These are gonna be the best eggs..." " Just make it quick." " Okay." "Oh, there's a steam shower function in the..." " Out!" " Okay, got it." "Oils."

" I need to pee!" " Try to think of something else, sweetie." " Like what?" " Like Santa Claus!" " What's taking them so long?" " I don't know..." "Santa needs to pee too." "Come on, let's be quick." "Great, I've got her..." "Excuse us, please." " Sorry..." " No problem." "I'll try to be as quick as I can." " Oh, my bag." " Sorry..." "Where are you?" "Call me!" " What's she up to?" "!" " Who?" "Lovisa!" "She should have been here two hours ago." " Damn it!" " She said naughty words..." "There." "Go on." " Heard anything?" " No." " Where is she?" " I don't know!" "She hasn't been herself lately." " Where on earth could she be?" "!" " I don't know, Elias!" "It's late and Lovisa..." " Hello!" "She isn't here, so let's get moving." " Henny?" "Here through the longest night" "Sounds come a winging" "Lo, 'tis the Queen of Light" "Joyfully singing" "Clad in her gown of white" "Crowned with a wreath of light" "Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia" "Santa Lucia..." ""I come to you at the darkest time of the year"" " "When all appears to be"..." " "Dead"." ""And frozen"" ""On earth"..." " Memorizing poetry is so hard." " Hey!" "Oh, sweetheart..." "You were fantastic!" "That was lovely!" "Really lovely!" "My son liked it too." " Do we have any more gift-wrapped?" " No..." " Candy!" " No, that's pickled herring." "We have that at Christmas and at Midsummer." "No, it's yummy!" "I know all about you..." "What kind of creep you are!" "Your promises are worthless!" " I want to go home." " Let's say bye to Kajsa." " Bye, Maja!" " Bye!" " Call her again." " I'm sure it just slipped her mind." "I'll try again." "Bye..." " Get me some coffee, please." " Hi..." "Hi, Björn." "Sit down." "Henny was great..." "About next year, we're facing a lot of challenges." " The theme herring?" " Yes, we're going in for it." "And I need someone I can rely on." "I'd like you to be in charge of transportation." "It will involve travel, but Henny's grown up now." "So, you don't want me to manage production?" "No." "It's time to give other people a chance, right?" "Okay..." "Björn..." "This doesn't mean I will expect any less from you." "Thank you." "Do you know anything?" "What if those stories about the Lucia crown are for real?" " Where is she?" "!" " Who cares!" " What?" "Why are you here?" " I ask myself the same thing!" "We were going to drop Balto off when the mother of the Lucia called in." "Lovisa Holm is still missing." "Her mother is frantic." "She probably just had stage fright!" " Annika will call her friends." " Rita will kill me if we miss our flight." "That would be a shame." " Beat it!" "Merry Christmas!" " Don't worry, I have Annika." " Are you sure?" "Don't you want to go to Thailand with your step-dad?" "Thanks, you saved my life!" "Call if you need me." "Lovisa?" "Lovisa!" "Off with you !" "Wipe your hands." "If we're to manage this country people can't simply do as they please." "I would like some more, please." "Thank you." "Come with me..." "You didn't show up yesterday." "Am I such a boring old man?" " No..." " Is there someone else?" " You're not an old man." " Then it's your birthday present." " Wasn't it satisfactory?" " I can't accept it." " Why not?" "Don't you like it?" " Yes." "Then what?" " I think you're toying with me." " Astrid, I will never let you down." "Never." "Come up to see me tonight." "Promise?" "I have to go." "Promise me you'll come..." "Well hello, my dear..." "Why didn't you tell me?" "We agreed to go to the police." "Those are serious." "Don't over-react." "Christ, Henrik!" "Why do you make so many enemies?" "Who needs friends?" "Sales are better than ever, so stop whining." "I don't give a damn what people think." " What did you and Björn talk about?" " The future." "Why?" " He looked unhappy." " Then you'd better cheer him up." "All this has to be dispatched tonight." " Hi." " Are you paying for their overtime?" "If you don't want us to work, then don't accept all those orders." " Sorry." " Yeah, me too." " You work too much." " So do you." " Things will settle down after Christmas." " I wonder if Henrik is good for us." "It will be all right." "Just give him a little time." " Optimist!" " I wouldn't have you if I hadn't been one." " What were you arguing about?" " Same as always..." " My brother makes enemies." " Teach him a lesson." " Aren't you coming to bed?" " What?" " Aren't you coming to bed?" " Soon..." " You're like ice!" " Sorry!" " No one's heard from Lovisa." " Her mum's worried, I feel for her." " That picture's no good for a bulletin." " I can ask her mother for a better one." " Why do all Lucias look alike?" " Some mutant Lucia gene, I guess." " Good night." " All the girls wanted to be Lucia." "I was always just an attendant..." "I'm just going to..." " It's brand new." " You don't have to, not for my sake." " Do you understand Italian?" " Sorry, I don't." "That's Henny, her best friend." "They've known each other since preschool." "Does she have a boyfriend?" "She says she doesn't have the time." " She's a swimmer..." " That's right." "She's won all those." "She swims five days a week." "She wants to go professional." "When I was young, I was into swimming too." " How is her father taking all this?" " She doesn't have one." "He left me when I was five months pregnant." "If she needs to talk, where does she turn?" " Who would she confide in?" " Me." "We're very close." "We only have a 25-metre pool." "So all the older kids go into Uddevalla for practice." "They have to commute, but it works." "Here we go..." " Lovisa Holm is good, isn't she?" " Definitely." " She was one of our top three talents." " "Was"?" "She's not on the team?" "No, she quit a few months back." "I see..." " She wouldn't leave without a word." " Maybe it slipped her mind." " And she was too embarrassed to call." " She would have called." "She's not that kind of a person." "She even sends people birthday cards." " What does the choir think?" " They're frightening each other." "Going on with some old wives' tale about our Lucia crown." "There was a Lucia here once who died." "Let's see..." "This was last Easter." "Lovisa is an alto." "There... that's her." "You can see why all the boys have a crush on her." "She's so sweet and considerate too." " What's her home situation like?" " Well, her mother's a bit of a pain." " But she doesn't live with her." " Where does she live?" " In town, in a flat of her own." " Strange, her mum didn't mention it." "Hi." "Here you go." " How was her mum?" " She's worried." "She claims Lovisa's an elite swimmer." "But her coach says she quit the team." " Why?" " I don't know." " Hey, that's..." " Hang on !" "Here..." "Good luck!" " Hello, Henny." " Hello." " Business going well?" " Yeah..." "You and Lovisa are best friends, right?" "She quit the swim team." " Do you know why?" " No." " Did anything in particular happen?" " No, not that I know of." "Well... she did mention that swimmers get so flat-chested, so that could be why." "Do you have a key to Lovisa's flat?" " Have known each other long?" " Since preschool." "Do you believe in curses?" "No." "Why do you ask?" "Because of the Lucia crown stories?" "It's scary." "I don't think she'd like us to be here." " Does she have a boyfriend?" " No." " Does she have a crush on anyone?" " I don't know." "Best friends know that sort of thing." "We... haven't hung out much lately." "Okay." "Why is that?" "If you know anything, you need to say it." ""My darling Lovisa"" "What time was that?" "And you're sure about the clothes?" " Good." "Thank you for calling in." " Hi..." "The paperboy saw a girl outside Lovisa's flat at 5 am yesterday." " The description indicates it was Lovisa." " At five in the morning?" "We've checked busses and cabs..." "Hospitals in Strömstad and Trollhättan." "The police in Gothenburg and Kungshamn." "Nothing." "We put out a bulletin two hours ago." " Henrik Lagerman..." " Turn it over." ""To my darling Lovisa"" " Where did you get this?" " Lovisa's flat." " You were there?" " With Henny, Lovisa's best friend." "Since I was helping you get a new photo of Lovisa, I figured..." " But talk to me first!" " I know..." "He and his sister own Fjällbacka Herring." "I saw him argue with a boy from the choir yesterday." "I just happened to notice." "It was right outside the church." "Okay..." "I guess I'll have a word with him." "Hello?" "Sorry, the employees have all gone home." "How many barrels do you need?" "I'll go have a look and call you back." "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "Mummy!" " The phone's ringing." " Patrik..." "Your phone." " Why aren't you wearing jammies?" " Because we aren't." "No, I can't give you any more details." "No." "No, no comments." "You'll have to wait." "Hi." "Annika told me you were here." "What's up?" "Henrik Lagerman." "Torsten isn't done yet, but it looks like he fell." " So unreal..." " We had an appointment today." " Did you mention Lovisa?" " No." " Aren't you going to get that?" " It's just the press." "Again!" " Did he slip?" " There was lots of alcohol in his blood." "More things went down here..." "Someone drove in here and stole the inventory." " A break-in?" " Maybe Henrik surprised them." "Hello!" "Get out of my way!" " Call Paula." " No." " You can't do it all on your own." " Thank you for caring, but I'll be fine." " Erica..." "I'm sorry." " That's okay." "Paula's looked forward to this holiday, I can't ask her to stay" "They never give up!" " When did you last see him?" " When I went to bed." "He was watching TV upstairs." "He usually comes to bed after I've fallen asleep." "He had lots of alcohol in his system." " Did he drink a lot?" " Only in the evenings." "Never while he was working." "What kind of a boss was he?" "Lacking in people skills." "Hired and fired at whim." "That didn't exactly make him popular." "A lot of people were angry." " What are your plans now?" " To go home, we live in London." "Henrik just came to get the business up and running again." "We were only supposed to stay for a few months." "That was over a year ago." "I'll have to ask you to stay until the investigation is over." "Right..." "Hello." "Heard about Henrik Lagerman?" "He's dead." "He was found this morning." "I saw you talking to him yesterday." "What was that all about?" "He was my boss." "I used to work at the factory." "You didn't look very happy." " Ready to go?" " Yeah." " Heard anything from Lovisa?" " No." " When did the first of letter arrive?" " Two months ago." "I wanted to go to the police..." " But Henrik said no." " Why?" "Maybe he enjoyed living on the edge?" "I really don't know." "He could be very abrasive." "He got the Council to let us use these air raid shelters." "So we could expand." "Then he fired the entire staff." "Basically just Björn and me left." "We hen went from 12 employees to 70." "Most of them used to work for West Coast Herring." "They used to be market leaders." " And now it's you?" " That's right." "I need a list of all the employees." "And your suppliers and distributors." "Wow, a full-page ad..." " Do you know how much those cost?" " Hi!" " Yeah, a lot!" ""Henrik Lagerman, your management of Fjällbacka Herring is irresponsible." "The damage you are doing to the industry is soon irreparable."" " Someone wants them to slow down." " But who?" "Someone at West Coast Herring, probably." "So you know nothing about these letters?" "Sorry..." " Did you know Henrik?" " I knew his dad." "It's a small industry." "A great deal of your employees have left this past year." " Now they work for Fjällbacka Herring." " It's a free market." "And that's not a problem for you?" "In the early 1800s, the herring simply vanished along the west coast," "No one knows why." "Not a herring in sight for over 50 years." "People starved." "Families that earned their livelihood fishing for generations had to move." "Just as suddenly, it returned." "There's herring enough for us all." " Do you have several printers?" " Yes." " Why do you ask?" " I need a print out from all of them." "Of course." "When did you last see Henrik?" "Yesterday, around 2 in the afternoon." "At the office." " What was he like?" " What do you mean?" "Was there anything different about his behaviour?" "No..." "He was his usual self." "You were the manager before Henrik showed up, right?" "Your position must have been affected." "He made the company profitable, that's all that matters." " What did you do last night?" " Work." "Later on, he was with me." " Is that right?" " Sure..." " Right..." "Here are your lists." " Thank you." "See you around." "What's going on?" " Why did you lie?" " To protect you." "Henny wasn't there when you got home, was she?" "See..." "No one can vouch for your whereabouts." "Are you involved in this?" "We can use that one..." " I'll make you a new one." " Granny would love that!" "You can never have too many hearts." "Maybe we should make holes in the cookies?" "To hang them up." "Like ornaments." "And you can pull on the dough and make hangers..." " Coffee or tea." " I'll have coffee." " Isn't it a bit late?" " I'll have coffee!" " That's nice." " A star..." "We'll have our coffee in the next room, it's a bit messy here." "Maja, why don't you finish filling that sheet of cookies?" "Lovely." "Listen, Mum, we've been thinking about Christmas..." "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." " You're welcome at one..." " We've been thinking." "About doing things differently this year." "We'd like to celebrate here, at our house." " It would be easier, with the kids and all." " They're not any trouble." "We could have our meal before the Christmas Special." "Not open our presents as late..." "Christmas Eve will be the same as ever." "A tree, the Christmas smörgåsbord, ham..." "Like always." "But we could skip dishes no one eats, like the cabbage." "Hang on, skip the cabbage?" "Then it's just not Christmas!" "Oh course it is..." "There will be pickled herring and all that." "Like always, Mum." " Only no Santa." " No Santa for the kids?" " Maya is terrified of Santa." " Really?" "That's new." " She's never acted scared before." " She's always been frightened!" "Really?" " Where are you going?" " I'll be back soon." "Well..." "That's it, then." "Mummy, smoke!" "Oh..." "Mummy, do we have to make a new one?" "No, this will be fine." "We do, Mummy." "We need a new one." " Hi, here's more stuff for the drive." " Thank you." "I'm sure it will be useful." " What charity is it this year?" " Our Estonian twin town, Jöhvi." "Were you aware that Lovisa was having an affair with Henrik Lagerman?" "No..." "Who told you that?" "It can't be true." " Why not?" " Lovisa is seeing Axel." " Axel Sjöström?" " Yes." "I thought Axel and Henny were a couple." "I don't know anything about that." "What could Lovisa possibly see..." "What could Lovisa see in Lagerman?" "He must be at least 20 years older." " Do you know Lovisa well?" " I know most of the young people here." "But no one understands how important it is to take care of the youngsters!" "They are our future, but we don't even have a small youth centre." "If it weren't for our church activities, they'd have nothing." " How would you describe her?" " Lovisa?" "She's ambitious." "Sensitive." "Very well-liked." "Axel's seeing Henny now, but he and Lovisa used to be an item." "She broke up with him this autumn, I just spoke to his mother." "Fjällbacka Herring sacked him at the same time." "He works at Arvidsson's Garage, so I'm on my way over to see him there." "Do you know the way?" "Good." "Hello?" "We're full up..." "But you're welcome back after Twelfth Night." "Oh, I'm looking for Axel Sjöström." "Well, he was supposed to be here at eight." "So if you see him, tell him to get over here." " Has he done anything wrong?" " No." " We sing in the same choir." " Choir?" "Axel's in a choir?" "What the hell does that sound like?" "He has some sheet music I need to borrow." "This is Patrik, he's a tenor." "In the choir?" "Axel has a locker in back, so..." " Go and have a look." " Thank you." "He's supposed to work all Christmas." " Find that sheet music?" " Yes." "Thank you." " Who knew about Henrik and Lovisa?" " Possibly no one." "This is Fjällbacka, there are no secrets." " Let's see..." "That one's nice." " I want something more "Disney-like"." "280 for the regular trees." "500 for the Nordmann Fir." " They don't shed and they're pretty!" " They sure are." " They're selling like hot cakes!" " It's very nice." "You can picture Chip Dale in this one." "We'll take it." " Patrik..." " All she wants to do is leave." "She hasn't had a life of her own here." "Do you think she knew?" " Possibly." " Excuse me..." " Are you taking that one?" " Yes." "But there are other nice ones in the back." " Erica?" "Excuse me..." "Hello, I'm Erica." "I was at church on Lucia too." " Hi..." " I'm so sorry for your loss." "I have to ask you..." "Do you recognise her?" " Her name is Lovisa Holm." " No." " She was supposed to be Lucia." " Really..." "She's missing." "I think she and Henrik knew each other." " Henrik knew everyone." " Well..." "What do you want?" "Are you suggesting something?" "You know nothing about me and Henrik!" " What happened?" " I asked her about Lovisa." "Where's our tree?" "Just taste some." "No, Maya, please..." "Maya, could you turn that off?" "Hello." "You were market leaders for ten years." "You've acquired local competitors, and Fjällbacka herring was on the brink of bankruptcy." "Correct." " Only Henrik came back from London." " You know it all already." "On the night Henrik was killed, a huge amount of herring was stolen." "Am I being accused of something?" "Where were you the night before yesterday?" "At work." "I work all the time." "Everyone knows that I work late when the others have gone home." "Just go out and ask." " Hi..." " Axel is missing!" "I think he might be involved." "Does he often take off like that?" "Without telling you?" "It happens." "He's been acting so weird lately." "Crabby and irritable." "Why didn't you tell me he used to be Lovisa's boyfriend?" "If you want our help, you have to be straight with us." "He's still in love with her." "Did you know she was seeing Henrik Lagerman?" "What about Axel?" "I told him." "Even though I promised Lovisa not to tell a soul." "But ever since we were kids, any guy I ever liked..." "It never mattered, they'd fall in love with Lovisa." "And when Lovisa and Axel broke up, he and I got together." "But all he could think of was Lovisa." "I figured that if I told Axel about Henrik and Lovisa, maybe he would stop wanting her." "Do you have any idea where he might be?" "There's this boathouse, a small shed, down by the harbour, where he and Lovisa use to go." "I don't want to go there alone." "Everything will be all right." " What are you doing here?" " Why do you ask?" "Get up." " Stand up!" " Stop it!" "Lay off me!" "What are you doing here?" " What's all this?" " She left them behind." "And didn't miss them?" "If I knew where she was, I'd tell you." "Where were you on the night of Henrik's murder?" "This is serious, don't you get it?" "No answers means you don't leave!" "I was with Henny." "Axel says he stayed with you on the night of Henrik's murder." "Is that true?" "Is that true?" "No." "Where were you?" "I went to Lovisa's flat." "I thought she might be there." " What next?" " I went to see Fia Lagerman." "I showed her pictures of Lovisa and Henrik I had taken." "Henrik was a jerk." "She had the right to know." " How did she react?" " What do you think?" "she was overjoyed." " Come on !" " What?" "!" "I didn't do anything!" "I just wanted him to keep his hands off Lovisa." "She's too good for him." "That bastard didn't even want her." " Are you coming inside?" " No." " Where are we going?" " I need to talk to her." "Fia Lagerman." " Can't it wait until tomorrow?" " No, I'd like to do it now." "Hello?" "She's gone!" " What are you going to do?" " Check the next flight to London." "Right." "Sure, I'll do it." "We have to turn around." "The cops told me to." "I can't stand being here!" "You can always call me, right?" "You knew that you weren't allowed to leave." "Why did you deny knowing about the relationship between Henrik and Lovisa?" " Did you know before Axel told you?" " I had my suspicions." "He was always working late." "Looked at me differently." "He didn't look at me at all!" "He drank at night to avoid being with me." "We'd been trying to have kids and..." "For a long time." "I thought there was something wrong with me, but there wasn't anything wrong with either of us." "He told me he had broken off with her." "I said I wanted a divorce." "But you didn't leave him." "No." "Your passport." " Can I give you a lift?" " No, I'll be fine." "What did she think?" "That they would live happily ever after in London?" "I really understand if she did it." "Mum..." "Good night." " Can they be in the car?" " I don't know." " We'll just use socks instead of mittens!" " Hurry up, Daddy." "Hang on, don't go..." " We've got to go!" " Bye..." "Erica speaking." "Hello, Henny." "Hi." "Is it okay if I go in by myself first?" "Hello, Lovisa." "I'm Erica." "A lot of us have been looking for you." "Your mother will be so glad that you're back." "Would you like to call her?" "I'll do it." "Erica..." "I told her about Henrik." "She didn't know." "Why didn't you show up at Lucia?" "Had something happened?" "You went to Uddevalla..." "What did you do there?" "Could we do this tomorrow?" "Can't you see that she's tired?" "Lovisa, we need an answer." "What did you do in Uddevalla?" " I went to see a friend." " Who was that?" "Her name is Saga Andersson." "She's on the same swim team as..." "Did you do anything else?" "Nothing?" "You had an affair with Henrik Lagerman." "He was found dead the day after you left town." "Oh my God..." "Of course Lovisa has nothing to do with that!" "Did anything in particular happen between you?" "Was he the reason you left town?" "No." " What do you think?" " I don't know." "But she doesn't want her mother to know what she did in Uddevalla." " Are any more documents required?" " No, just signatures." " Then I'm no longer needed." " No, you've done your bit." "What's going on?" "Ylva?" "Then I'll take these papers over to her and get them signed today." "Thank you, I appreciate that." "What's going on?" "What was he doing here?" "Tell me." "I accepted Ulla Lennartsson's offer." "West Coast Herring is taking over." "You can't afford to buy me out, I own 51 percent." " You've got to give us some time!" " I don't have time!" "Don't you get it?" "You're selling our lives!" "I'm sorry." "I brought you some tea." "Honey..." "You know that you can tell me anything, don't you?" "Go see that our guests have enough to drink." "I've given you my word to take care of you and the child." "I won't let you down." "I promise." "Do you understand?" "Do you?" "Greger?" "Greger?" " What are you doing in here?" " Just wanted to check on the salmon." "What do you think?" "Nice, isn't it?" "Bye!" "Hello!" "Missing Lucia Home Again" " Hello." "I'd like to have a Christmas ham." " Right here." " Is it uncooked?" " Yes, it's the bone-in kind." "Just brown the topping when it's done." "Much nicer than the supermarket kind." " What else do you have?" "Cheese..." " I have cheese." "Be careful that it doesn't get too close." "That icing needs to dry some more." "Yes, you're right..." " So we're supposed to forget about it?" " That's not what I said." "I just figured we could delegate a little." "She wants to help." "So she doesn't just want to be the boss?" "We don't have the time." "We can't even take care of our own kids!" " Don't change the subject!" " Grandma says we aren't having a tree." "No I said :" "If you haven't bought one yet, then it's high time to do it." "Of course we'll have a tree." "It's on the list." "There are only a few days left, that's all I meant." "That gnome!" "It's adorable!" "We've had it on the table since 1978." "I bought it in Orsa." "It's just adorable!" "All that stuff in that box in there, just take whatever you like." "Mother..." "We're going to the boat house." "We'll be back soon." "Speak up for yourself!" "Don't just be a sourpuss." "I'm not a sourpuss." "Other things simply have a higher priority." " Fine, then we'll have roast lamb." " Lamb?" " No, my mother doesn't like lamb." " And that's all that matters, right?" "You can't embrace change!" "We're supposed to have that disgusting cabbage and all that..." "I like my mother's Christmas food." "She's made it for me all my life." "I like it." "Maybe you think that gnome jar is grotesque, but to me, it's Christmas." "Christmas was so important to my folks." "So I promised myself to give my kids a Christmas that was just as special." "But I can't manage..." "A girl went missing and you put your effort into that, instead of being a housewife." "I think your parents would be proud." "Where's the bench?" "It's been here since the 70s." "I sit on it when I feed the birds." " So this is a life or death matter?" " It is." "There are hundreds of them." "Maybe someone moved it." "Want to buy some Christmas herring?" " Wow, wonder how much there is?" " I don't know..." "Lots of barrels." "Someone saw a truck here on the same night as Henrik died." "Marked "West Coast Herring"." "Ulla or one of her employees dumps herring in the harbour because Henrik refuses to sell." "When Henrik, who was drunk, discovers them, he falls to his death in a scuffle." "What do you think?" " Hello, we're looking for Ulla." " She isn't in yet." " Her car is out front." " She likes to keep it here." " Where does she live?" " Galärbacken." "Right before the hotel." " What can you tell me?" " TOD between midnight and 2 AM." " COD?" " A heavy blow to the back of the head." "They called from the lab." "The analysis of those letters is ready." "They weren't printed on Ulla Lennartsson's printers..." "They originated at Fjällbacka Herring." "You knew that Fia was going to sell her shares to Ulla, didn't you?" " How did you feel about that?" " It hardly matters now, does it?" "Here..." "Did you have an appointment with Ulla yesterday?" "No, I have nothing to do with that deal, so you'll have to ask Fia." "We found Ulla this morning, murdered." "Why did you send threatening letters to Henrik?" " What are you talking about?" " The printer in your office was used." "And you have access to all the computers, laptops and stationary." "My dear..." "We've been so worried!" " What about you?" " I'd like to stay." "Let's continue." " I said I was sorry." " So stop following me!" "Lovisa!" " I didn't mean to..." " You went to the cops." "I'm sorry." "Axel?" "Lovisa!" "Hi..." "All right if I sit down for a while?" "What did you do in Uddevalla?" "I think it's better for you to say it." "I had an abortion." "My appointment was the same day as the Lucia event." "He told me he loved me." "That he would get a divorce." "What's the matter?" "The police were here." "They know where those threatening letters came from." "What have you done?" "Ylva..." "Henrik wouldn't listen to you." " I did it for us!" " He was my brother." "Good Lord, what have you done?" "And Ulla Lennartsson!" "You have an hour to turn yourself in, or I will call the police." "And I never want to see you again." " He's a bit busy right now." " We weren't close." "She was very forceful..." " It's for you." "It's important." " Excuse me." " It's Ylva Lagerman." " Hello, it's Patrik." " I talked to Björn." "He confessed." " Confessed?" " Really?" "Where is he?" " I don't know." " Is Björn here?" " What?" "No." " Do you know where he is?" " The boat house, I think." "Björn!" "Björn?" "Björn, you have a daughter to think of." "Hand over the rifle, Björn." "I worked at the factory for 25 years and it meant nothing." "Why did you send those letters?" "I wanted him to go back to London." "Leave us alone." "Stop!" "What?" "What did you do?" "!" "What did you do?" "!" "I didn't kill anybody." "I'm sorry, so sorry..." " It was you, wasn't it?" "!" " What?" " Stop it!" " You're sick!" "Sick!" "I thought you cared for me!" "Wait!" " Lovisa!" "What's going on?" " He's stalking me." " Who?" " Axel." "He gave me baby clothes for Christmas." "I mean, how sick can a person be!" "Even humble graves deserve a little dressing up." "Lovisa told you she was pregnant." "Many people confide in me." "It's part of the job." "You gave her a Christmas present." "I donated this, remember?" "To the charity drive." "Well, it's Christmas." "Sorry, I'd better tend to the bells." "It's almost time for the service." "It would be upsetting if I were late." "Do excuse me." "Who was Astrid?" "She was only 17 when she died." "Is she the girl in the story?" "The Lucia who killed herself?" "A relative..." "Who was she?" "She was my mother." "She passed away the year I was born." "She never found out what happened to me." "The woman who came for me was meant to neglect me until I died." "That's what they did to unwanted babies." ""Angel makers" they were called." "But she didn't have the heart to do it, or maybe she didn't dare..." "I was taken to an orphanage." "Originally, they planned to bury my mother outside the churchyard, in unhallowed ground." "But that was going too far..." "After all he had done to her, consensus had it that she had not taken the plunge of her own free will." "It was an accident." "Lovisa came to me, told me about Henrik Lagerman's betrayal." "Same story..." "So many years later." "He used her." "Toyed with her for a while..." "Until he tired." "I went to see him." "To talk." "To make him go after her." "It was his duty, his obligation." " It was not my intention to kill him." " Elias, let's go downstairs..." " Ulla Lennartsson was there." " Elias, please!" "I didn't see her, it was dark." "I know what you did." "She ordered me to get Ylva to sell her share of the factory, or she would go to the police." "Please don't tell me any more..." "Well..." "I cannot turn back time." "Even though that is my only desire!" "I just wanted to make sure history did not repeat itself." "I did not want Lovisa to meet the same fate as my mother." "No!" "No!" "!" "NO!" "!" "I didn't have any gift wrap..." "It's not as fancy as your mittens, but..." "Wait!" "One last customer..." "I'd like a Nordmann fir, please." "I'll let you have this one for 50 kronor." " It's not a Nordmann fir, though." " It's all I have left." "And cheap." "This is fun." "Olof and I were young and in love and we wanted to travel." "We went to Italy, to Palermo..." "But we were so broke that we couldn't afford a hotel." "So we camped out on a friend's balcony." "It was so romantic." "We sipped Chianti and gazed at the stars..." " And had pizza." " That's right." "How long were you away?" "Two weeks, something like that..." "English subtitles by Ingrid Eng Svensk Medietext"

"Motherfucking cocksucker." "Motherfucking shit fucker!" "What am I doing?" "What am I doing?" "I don't know what I'm doing." "I'm doing the best that I can." "I know that's all I can ask of myself." "But is that good enough?" "Is my work doing any good?" "Is anybody paying attention?" "Is it hopeless to try and change things?" "The African guy's a sign, right?" "Because if he isn't, then nothing in this world makes any sense to me." "I'm fucked." "Maybe I should quit." "Don't quit." "Maybe I should just fucking quit." "Don't fucking quit." "I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to fucking do anymore." "Fucker." "Fuck!" "Shit!" "I'm glad we saved a piece of this marsh." "I know it's small, but at least it's something." "Don't stop fighting." "We're going to save a lot more of this place." "To celebrate, I have a poem I'd like to read." ""Nobody sits like this rock sits." ""You rock, rock." "The rock just sits and is." "You show us how to just sit here, and that's what we need."" "Yeah, we did it." " Any press come?" " Yeah, local paper's here." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "It's just I have an appointment to check out this African guy." " What African guy?" " Exactly." "What African guy?" "Come on." "Hello." "Albert Markovski." "I have a 1:00 appointment." "Sorry, I'm late." "This place is like a maze." "Have a seat." "We'll be right with you." "Why don't you just tell me what your situation is." "Look, I'm not really sure I know exactly what you guys do here, all right?" "Well, we, uh... we'll investigate and solve your case." "How?" "If you sign a contract, we'll follow you." "You'll spy?" "Yes." "On me?" "Yes." "Will you be spying on me in the bathroom?" "Yes." "In the bathroom?" "Yes." "Why?" "There's nothing too small." "You know when police find the slightest bit of D.N.A. And build a case?" "If we might see you..." "you floss or masturbate, that could be the key to your entire reality." "So I'm hiring you to spy on me." "That's right." "So we can figure out your situation and resolve your crisis." "In addition, my associate will approach your case from a different angle." "What do you mean a different angle?" "What does that mean?" "Regarding your perception of reality." "He'll tell you about that." " Who sent you here?" " Nobody." "I found your card." "Where?" "In some fancy restaurant that I'd never been to before." "I didn't have the proper attire." "So the let me borrow a suit jacket." "I reached into my pocket, and there was your card." "The weird thing is I always have a jacket." "But not that day?" "No." "Brad stand." "Hey." "Kind of a coincidence." "Yes, exactly." "My case is a coincidence." "About the restaurant and the jacket?" "No, no." "That-that's..." "I'm talking about a big coincidence." "It involves one man." "It's a three-parter." "Okay." "Ready?" "First part." "I went to a place called Schottinger's photo archives." "I was there getting stills of early Bob Dylan." "In comes this tall African guy." "He's like 18 years old or something." "You know, he's in there getting photos of Morris Chestnut," "Shaquille O'Neal, Jim Carrey." "He's an autograph hound." "Kind of guy likes to get..." "Glossies of famous people and get them signed." "Two weeks later, I see the same African guy." "He's working as a doorman at my friend's building." "Oh, my God!" " Who's your friend?" " Jay Wendorff." "But it's not his apartment." "It's his girlfriend's." "What's her name?" "Uh, Kelly." "Kelly Coulter." "So, okay, that's two." "One time at Schottinger's photo archive, second time as the doorman." "Third time I see this man, he's in a van at the mall." "What are you doing at the mall?" "I'm working." "I'm making a statement for the open spaces." "Got any respect, you crazy bastard?" "You don't park no tree in this parking lot!" "I gotta come take that tree, remove it and let traffic through." "You're just creatin' more work for me." " They're not always meaningful." " Yeah, it's meaningful." "Meaningful how?" "That's what I want you to find out." " About your life." " Yeah, about my life." "And about the whole thing." "About the universe, you know?" "The big one." "I mean, should I keep doing what I'm doing?" "Is it hopeless?" "Mr. Markovski, we see a lot of people in here..." "Who claim they want to know the ultimate truth about reality." "They want to peer under the surface at the big everything, but this can be a very painful process full of surprises." "It can dismantle the world as you know it." "That's why most people prefer to remain on the surface of things." "Maybe you should go home." "Let sleeping dogs lie." "Take it easy." "What do you say?" "I say don't give me the brush-off." "Please." "I want to know." "This is big." "Have you ever transcended space and time?" "Yes." "No." "Uh, time, not space." "No, I don't know what you're talking about." "I take it you don't make very much money, Mr. Markovski." "Is that gonna be a problem?" "Are you expensive, what you do?" "We have a sliding scale." "Some of our clients pay $30 a week." "Some of our wealthy clients pay several thousand a week." "I can't believe you guys actually exist." "How long have you been doing this?" "Seventeen years, 352 cases." "That's crazy." "I'm gonna have to ask you to please steer clear of my office..." "Because my work situation is a little shaky, all right?" "You want us to stay away from your job?" "Yeah." "If you come snooping around my office, it could make me look unstable and it could hurt me." "I want you to meet my colleague." "Bernard?" "Uh-huh." "This is Mr. Markovski." "Hi." " He's going to have to be pro Bono." " Okay." "Sounds good." "Thank you very much for taking on my case." "Oh, you're welcome." "You're welcome." "Hold on." "He hasn't signed a contract." "Let's do this and then we'll get to the contract." "It's too much too soon." "It's always too much too soon." "That's the nature of the beast." "Approach, patience, finesse." "Will you stop?" "Come on." "We need to start with his specifics, Bernard." "We need to go past logic though." "Come on." "Let's go." "Give me a kiss." "Come on." "Okay." "Will you tell me where we're having dinner tonight?" "Korean barbecue." "Really?" "Okay, let's get started." "Is this part of my investigation?" "Yes." "Say this blanket represents all the matter and energy in the universe, okay?" "You, me, everything." "Nothing has been left out, all right?" "All the particles, everything." "What's outside this blanket?" "More blankets." "That's the point." "Blanket's everything." "Exactly." "This is everything." "Let's just say that this is me, all right?" "And I'm, what, 60-odd years old and I'm wearing a gray suit." "Blah, blah, blah." "And let's say over here, this is you." "And, you're..." "I don't know, you're 21." "You got dark hair, etc." "And over here, this is Vivian, my wife and colleague." "Then over here, this is the Eiffel tower, right?" "It's Paris." "And this is a war." "And this is, uh, a museum." "And this is a disease." "And this is an orgasm." "And this is a hamburger." "Everything is the same even if it's different." "Exactly." "But our everyday mind forgets this." "We think everything is separate." "Limited." "I'm over here." "You're over there." "Which is true." "But it's not the whole truth because we're all connected." "Because we... are connected." "Sure." "Sure." "Sure." "Sure." "Okay?" "Yeah." "All right, now, we need to learn..." "How to see the blanket truth all the time." "Right in the everyday stuff." "And that's what this is for." "Why?" "Why what?" "Why do I need to learn how to see the blanket thing all the time in the everyday stuff?" "You wouldn't want to miss out on the big picture, would you?" "Uh-uh." "That's partly why you're here, right?" "And this is it." "I'm talking about it right now." "It will take a while for you to get it, you know?" "But... it will help you." "How?" " When you get the blanket thing you can relax..." "Because everything you could ever want or be, you already have and are." "That sound pretty good?" "That sounds very good." "All right, get in." "You want me to get in?" "So, get in here?" "Yeah." "What's going to happen to me in there?" "Oh, hey, you're gonna see." "You'll find out." "The purpose of this suit, Mr. Markovski, is to help shut down..." "Your everyday perceptions and give up your usual identity..." "That you think separates you from everything." "This room, this street, this town, this country, this economy, this history, this planet." "Your body, your senses, your job." "Everything that you identify with." "Hey, man." "How's it going?" "You're an asshole." "We will fucking destroy you, deary." "Got Shaquille O'Neal." "I like Shaq." "Hey." "Brad stand." "Hey, how are you?" "So what's the open spaces take on that?" "Well, I think you guys can definitely rebuild in areas..." "That are already run-down instead of tearing up new land." "New land." "New land." "We're open to that." "That's who we are at open spaces." "We can't throw that away." "We're not asking you to throw that away." "I'm not gonna bullshit you, right?" "Part of this is we took a beating in the press for all our growth." "Opening so many stores in such a short time." "So if we work with you and your open spaces coalition, is that gonna help the Huckabees image?" "Yes." "Does it help me?" "Yes." "Do I benefit from getting some great P.R. For Huckabees when we need it?" "Absolutely." "But do I care about saving the open spaces?" "Yes, I do." "Don't look at me." "What's wrong with you?" "Beat it, you little pussy." "What's wrong with you?" "Pussy." "You're an asshole." "How are you?" "Okay?" "You doing okay?" "I thought you said that was going to relax me." "Eventually, but you have to practice at home." "Okay?" "You got a lot of layers in there, don't you?" "Huh?" "All right?" "Yeah." "Okay." "How am I supposed to practice at home?" "I don't have one of these." "It doesn't matter." "What you can do... it... just use an eye mask or shut your eyes, okay?" "Oh." "Um, hi." "What should I be doing?" "Whatever you normally do." "I wanted to thank you for what you did with the oak tree." "I played in that tree when I was little." "I thought we had a chance, but they chopped it to pieces." "Hi." "I have some questions..." "About power lines over the playground where my daughter goes to school." "Please call me." "I'm Marjorie at 96... hey, we got to talk, man." "Hey, what's going on?" "Where is everybody?" " Brad moved the meeting." " He what?" "To Huckabees corporate." "Listen." "Okay." "I want you to do this." "I want you to get me the national office on the phone right now." "Call Orrin Spence and tell him that Brad is trying to hijack my coalition." "This should've gone to the other chapter a week ago." "I want those flyers..." "Outta the parking lot." "It's a free country." "The poems work." "Oh, you are pissing people off." "Oh, no, I'm not." "Yeah, you really are." "You're pissing people... no, I'm not." "If my poems had gone out with the Shania mailing, it'd be a different story." "You know what?" "You're not leading this coalition anymore." "I am the coalition." "I wrote the charter." "Uh-huh." "Not for long." "Tell him it's important." "I'm not going to any meeting at Huckabees." "I can't get 'em." "Can you just keep trying?" "Just keep trying." "Orrin Spence." "Brad cannot do this to us, all right?" "How can she get you out of the charter, man?" "She can't!" "This is my work situation, the one I was telling you about." "It's a little..." "I'll describe it later to you if we could just... don't worry, Albert." "We're gonna knock that meeting on its ass." "Copy these and get these out." "You're fighting suburban sprawl and this fellow, Brad stand, and you have had a falling out." "Remember, I told you not to come by my work?" "Oh, yes, I remember." "Now, tell me, did the coalition inspire the poetry?" "Or did the poetry inspire the coalition?" "This is looking weird." "Can we schedule a time when you can come by?" "This thread of your... this has nothing to do with my coincidence." "My coincidence has to do with an African man." "Viv!" "Viv!" "Mr. Corn is having a crisis." "You better talk to him." "Mr. Corn, crisis." "Tommy, what is it?" "I got a serious situation here." "Tell me what's happening." "She wants to talk about my work situation." "I want to know about my coincidences." "What's happening now?" "This is what's happening now." "She's spying... talking about the blanket." "I don't want to do the blanket right now." "Like this." "Wait a minute." "Whoa." "What's going on?" "I need facts, Bernard, to piece together a theory." "No time for infinity?" "Gotta piece together a theory?" "This isn't cool." "What?" "What?" "Listen, you go visit Mr. Corn." "His wife is leaving him." "I think I've got a really hot lead, Bernard." "Albert, the universe is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere..." "And whose circumference is nowhere." "Well, how can the center be everywhere if... she just dove into the back of Angela's car." "You gotta keep using the method." "I gotta check on... on, uh, Mr. Corn right now, okay?" "That method works." "Don't forget to use it, all right?" "Mmm." "Mmm!" "Mm." "Jimbo, everything on this lawn goes." "The microwave, the coffee grinder." "Baby!" "Baby, come on." "Don't do this, please." "Hey, don't do this." " You don't need anyone." " That's not true." "I need you guys." "If nothing matters, how can I matter?" "I don't know if nothingness matters or somethingness matters." "I'm trying to figure that out and I want you to help me." "Somethingness, nothingness." "You know what?" "I-I-I... you figure it out." "Let go!" "Let go of me!" "Okay, uh, hold on now." "Tell me what happened." "Okay?" "She won't stay and share this with me." "T-tell me what that is." "It's important to me." "I see it so clearly." "Yeah?" "You use petroleum, you're a murderer." "That's a fact." "Yes, yes, yes." "Murderer." "A murderer?" "One... killin' the ozone and all the creatures that it's hurting?" "Calm down." "Two... killing Arabs in oil-producing dictatorships..." "Where everybody is poor... that is cruelty and it's inhumane." "You've talked to me about this." "So if this world is temporary, yeah." "Identity is an illusion, yeah." "Then everything is meaningless and it doesn't matter if you... no." "It..." "that's got me very confused." "No, it matters." "It matters." "It matters." "Look, Tommy." "See, this is the universe." "And that's our galaxy over here." "What universe?" "What universe?" "This." "Tommy, come on." "Come on." "There's dust and gas there." "Yeah?" "There's us over here..." "And good and bad luck in the middle." "That's chaos." "That's my "B." This doesn't sound like you." "No, Vauban talks about space." "Where'd you get that book?" "You sent it to me." "No, no." "We would never give you this book." "You didn't send this?" " Caterine Vauban's full of shit." "What is she doing here?" "God, she never leaves Paris." "This is insane." "This is a pretty good book." "You should read this." "What?" "She says nothing's connected, doesn't matter what you do, you can drive a car, you can burn up gas, yeah?" "Which would explain the way things actually are..." "Where people do destructive things like it doesn't matter." "Tommy, Tommy, everything is connected and everything matters." "There's not an atom in our bodies..." "That has not been forged in the furnace of the sun." "Now, isn't that cool?" "Huh?" "Yes." "That's a cool thing, isn't it?" "But... but what?" "You tell me where she contradicts that." "Oh, right here." "Where?" "Where?" "There..." "where?" ""Less than 5% of the cosmos is composed of the same elements that compose human life."" "You know... there you go." "That means we're all alone..." "And we're miserable and isolated." "Molly, if you..." "listen." "If you... if you leave him before he gets done dismantling, he will never make it to the other side, okay?" "You know what?" "I'm done with the dismantling." "You don't want to ask these questions?" "No!" "I want to live my life!" "What is that life, baby?" "What are we part of?" "Who are we?" "Look at this." "Do you know where these come from?" "Yeah, my closet." "Indonesia." "The store." "Baby, this is the truth, okay?" "Little girls like you, they have to work in dark factories..." "Where they go blind for $1.60 a month just to make mommy her pretty shoes." "Can you imagine that, Caitlin?" "I don't want the children to work in factories!" "Don't listen, honey." "Daddy is crazy." "Daddy's not crazy, baby." "The world is crazy." "It's important to ask questions." "Don't let them go blind!" "Mommy doesn't ask 'cause mommy doesn't care." "Don't stop asking questions, baby." "Damn you!" " How dare you!" " Skippy, put her in the car, will ya?" ""Less than 5% of the cosmos..." "Give me the Teddy!" "Is composed of the same elements that compose human life."" "What does that matter?" "You should be asking these questions, skip." "Guys, give him a break." "His therapist is down here to help him out." "Excuse me." "What did you call me?" "You're his therapist?" "No, I'm... not his therapist." "We need to talk 'cause this book is making a lot of sense to me and I want... and what is Caterine Vauban doing in the United States?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "No, no, wait." "This is really good." "You think that's funny?" "I got a story for you." "It's only four months old." "Wait." "Wait." "Listen." "Listen." "Listen to the master, all right?" "I'm with Shania." "We're opening a Megastore down by the loop." "Shania's there promoting her apparel, right?" "It's 4:00 and she's starving." "So I order a ton of tuna fish sandwiches, no Mayo." "Stop it!" "Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick." "Shania hates Mayo, all right?" "And she can't eat chicken salad." "That's no joke, all right?" "We gave it to her once, she threw up in the limo." "She's vomiting all over the limo." "The lady hates chicken salad." "So I bring out a bunch of tuna fish sandwiches." "She still doesn't believe me." "I say, "Shania, I'm allergic to Mayo."" " Which, by the way, is a lie." " He loves Mayo!" "He loves it." "Shania still doesn't believe me so I eat two of the sandwiches in front of her to prove it." "So she eats one and a half sandwiches." "One and a half sandwiches..." "Before she realizes..." "It's chicken salad." "And she actually likes it." "She did not vomit." "He made her change her mind." "And that's what they want upstairs in corporate, okay?" "Excuse me?" "Can I help you?" " Shh." "Shh." "Shh." " Excuse me?" "Yes, I'm here for the open spaces meeting with Brad stand." "Okay, well, then you are in the wrong area entirely." "Come on." "I'll show you where to go." "You're very, very helpful." "Thanks a lot." "There's no reason for you to be up here." "This is an executive private floor." "It's for... come on." "Let's pick it up." "Heel to toe." "Unless you're an executive or an executive's assistant..." "Or someone who is a... no." "No, ma'am." "Shania has no song for you." "Let's move it along this way." "You're supposed to be on another floor." "Security is very tight in this building." "Or at least I thought it was very tight in this building." "Of course, every now and then we get somebody..." "Who gets off on the wrong floor." "And then people flitting about..." "At huckabees, the everything store." "Let me try that one more time." "I..." "I... okay." "Tops and mops. 50% off all women's shirts and hair products." "This week only." "At huckabees, the everything store." "Uh, dawn, can we do it one more time?" "I think we can do it better." "I suck, Daryl." "I really sucked." "You're doing great, dawn." "I can't do this." "I can't do it." "Don't give me that face." "I don't know what's wrong with me." "Your voice is the trademark voice of huckabees." "Oh, there she is!" "You're one sneaky lady." "I was almost in the elevators." "We're going now." "Let's move it along." "There we go." "I'll show you where you need to go." "Moved my meeting to the huckabees corporation." "I saved this rock." "I'm going to save this place." "They're not gonna save this place." "Rat-fucking-bastard Brad stand." "Corporate prick bastard." "Oh, motherfucking dickhead." ""Betrayed" by Albert Markovski." "Is it possible for anybody in this world to work together to make it better?" "I don't think so." "It was Albert's vision." "This whole thing was Albert's vision." "Tell me about Brad." "Albert let him in, which was a mistake." "Fuck!" "He has been enormously helpful..." "He dropped Albert's poems from the benefit." "And the mailing." "Settle down." "Someone tell me about the woods and the marsh." "Mary Jane, this is your story." "Why don't you do it?" "My great grandfather owned the woods and the marsh." "We deeded them over to the municipality in 1972." "In perpetuity for the public." "Tell me why." " We just wanted to share this beautiful place." "And now the town is looking at subclauses." "All of the sudden wants yet another mall..." "And houses on this beautiful marsh." "So we're fighting it." "We are fighting it." " We have to save the marsh." " Sorry I'm late, guys." "I got the photo of the wetlands right here!" "It looks beautiful!" "Here's the marsh and woods we're going to save." "This photo says good times and peace." "Shania's right here." "No silly poetry." "Let the beauty speak for itself." "This is where the little Jack-in-the-pulpits live." "An image is always better." "You've gotta reach people quick." "They don't understand poems." "They don't want to hear poems." "They have no time for them." "They think too much." "Open spaces It's for everyone." "Mary Jane." " Extra small for your grandson, right?" " You shouldn't have." "Open spaces It's and here is the schedule for the benefit." "First up, cocktails." "Then, Mary Jane, you introduce the marsh video, background story, animals, plants and stuff." "Angela, you speak." "Marty speaks for huckabees." "I speak." "Then Shania sings." "Shania twain entertains us." "Hi, have we met?" "No." "Vivian Jaffe." "Brad stand." "She's a perspective from..." "Albert Markovski." " Sorry, that's not gonna work." " What's the matter with that?" " How are you connected?" " Through an investigation." "I worry about that guy." "He alienates people." "What kind of investigation?" "Existential." "I'd like to ask a few questions if you don't mind." "Actually we do." "We do because we've got to meet, and we're a little late." "Sounds kind of interesting though." "Have you got a card?" "Yes." "I don't mean to give you a hard time." "Existential?" "Is that like a therapy?" "Okay, let's go, sneaky lady." "Let's step it outside." "I told you to stay away from my work situation!" "To solve your coincidence, we have to put it into context." "Brad stand seems very important." "So you come by huckabees corporate and say you're my fucking existential detectives?" "I'm lucky if I last another day!" "We can solve your case sooner if you're straight with us." "I'm being straight with you." "Brad smeared me..." "And took the coalition in a different direction." "That's straight." "At Schottinger's photo archive where you met Mr. Nimieri... who's Mr... who's that?" "The African guy." "That's the African guy from my coincidence." "This is what I wanna talk about." "It wasn't your first time at Schottinger's, was it?" " Did I say it was?" " You did." "You agree it wasn't?" "Sure." "It wasn't my first time." "Big deal." "It was more like a regular thing with you." "And you weren't finding a still of Bob Dylan." "You were planting photos of yourself in the archive." "What are you getting at?" "Why would you do something like that?" "To be noticed." "Maybe urgently." "Maybe, yeah." "Uh-huh." "How did that affect things with Brad at the coalition?" "How did if affect things at the coalition?" "I don't know." "You know, it was a drag." "It really was a drag." "Because I wanted my poems to go out with the fund-raiser mailing." "Brad didn't." "He was all obsessed with Shania and Pete Sampras." "Not what we were really supposed to be focusing on... hurt." "You planted photos of yourself and your poems at Schottinger's." "Brad didn't respect you." "No, he didn't." " And yet you brought him into the open spaces coalition." " Why is that?" " I needed the sponsor to take my cause to another level." "That's why." "Why else would I do it?" " Like we said." "To be noticed." " This is absurd." "Show me my folder." "No." "That is not productive." "At the photo archive, you spent a lot of time..." "Looking at old Jessica Lange bathing suit stills, why?" "That's only because Lange comes before Markovski." "I was putting my head shots under Markovski, and then "I" is right before it." "I might've looked at a little bit of Lange on the way out." "What's the big deal?" "Albert, baby, come on." "What, is it a crime?" "Is it a crime to look at Lange?" "Have you ever been in love?" "What kind of question is that?" " Do you even believe in love?" " Or do you only have fantasy relationships..." "Because anything else would be too painful?" "Bernard, excuse me." "But I'm making some progress here." "So am I, darling." "So am I." "Oh, no, no." "I'm not going in that thing." "Every time I go in there, it's all hating faces that I have to chop up with a machete." "And then they multiply." "And we're going to address that right now." "Okay?" "I'll leave it to you." "Come on." "You can't retreat." "Back into the fray, Albert." "Let's go." "I'm in your Corner." "Okay, Albert, I want you to melt your usual identity like you did before." "Stop looking at me." "I said stop looking at me." "Dawn is gonna love doing spots for the open spaces." "Who's dawn?" "Ms. huckabees." "Dawn." "She loves your poems." "The one about the rock." "Nobody sits like this rock sits." "That's the one." "She loves poems." "She loves forests, meadows, getting outside." "We'll just throw the Jet Skis on the trailer and head to the mountains." "Wait, you guys..." "you go with Ms. huckabees?" "She was doing some print work for us..." "Albert?" "Albert?" "Forget Brad." "Come back to me." "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "Albert." "Picture a tree in a field." "Good." "Now put someone you respect in the tree." "Hey, dickweed." "Still Brad stand." "Add someone else." "Like who?" "You know, someone who can understand things." "Someone who can help you." " Who's your guide?" " Well, I use Magritte, a Belgian surrealist." "I got someone." "Who is it?" "Mrs. Schirmir." "She was my high school English teacher." "She helped me." "All right, good." "He pushed her out of the tree." "Okay, Mrs. Schirmir has a vacuum cleaner, Albert, that sucks up fear." "Now she's going to send you rays of security and complete acceptance." "He chopped her head off!" "Hold on." "Hold on." "Hold on." "You're doing well." "Now, don't give up now." "Didn't she vacuum a lot?" "But then he vacuumed her." "I had to chop him up with a machete." "Okay, Albert." "I can let you in on a couple of secrets." "One, your mind is always occupied on something..." "So it may as well be something helpful like Mrs. Schirmir and her vacuum cleaner." "Two, there is no such thing as you and me." "So then there's just nothing?" "Three, there's no such thing as nothing." "There is no remainder in the mathematics of infinity." "There's only the blanket." "I thought I understood the blanket." "Now I'm not sure." "Flags and bags!" "Huckabees says, "Happy Birthday, Mr. president."" "50% off all knapsacks and pocketbooks." "Oh, say, can you see how good this looks?" "Let freedom ring." "At huckabees, the everything store." ""Huckabees Cornucopia of stuff we all want." ""But what happened to the gazelles?" "Were they squashed..." "Under the Cd department?"" " Hey, Albert, how's it goin'?" " What are you doing here, Brad?" "I met Brad when I was investigating you." "He called with his own existential conundrum." "That's all." "I'm really glad I found out about these people." "That's bullshit." "He doesn't care about things like this." "Bring me the African guy." "Where's that African guy?" "Dude, what're you talking about?" "Why does he get to write poetry?" "They're no gazelles in north America." "Just so you know." "And that building squashing nature is my imagery." "You don't write poetry." "Everyone's intake procedure is different." "I asked Brad to write a poem." "And it wasn't enough that you came to my coalition, now you have to come here and do... okay, okay." "All right, that's good." "We're the same, Brad." "It's all the blanket." "There you go." "Give it a shot." "That is wonderful, Albert." "Oh, honey, he's got it." "How are things at the coalition, Brad?" "Great." "Much smoother." "Great, I look forward to coming back and working with you." "I don't think that's going to happen, my friend." "I'm still in the charter." "I built the coalition from scratch." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Well, I don't want to cramp you here." "That's what you mean to do!" "That's exactly what you mean to do!" " What?" " What?" " What?" "You see what he's doing?" "Tell them what you're doing." "What?" " He's come here to conquer you like he conquered my coalition." "And now he's here today to unnerve me so that when orrin comes to town, I will blow it." "That's what you mean to do." "Albert, please!" "Oh, my God, Brad." "You're killing me." "What are you talking about?" "What am I talking... okay, when orrin comes, I'll blow it." "I'll get kicked out, and then he can do whatever he wants with the coalition." "Who's orrin?" "Orrin is the open spaces national director." "He's coming to review our charter." "I hope this isn't about dawn." "He has a crush on my girlfriend." " That's crazy!" " Why do you stare at her?" "She's a model!" "I'm going home." "Oh, no!" "Albert, please." "Stay with us for Mancala hour." "I'm gonna have a fucking ball at Mancala hour, aren't I?" "Maybe Albert should meet his other." "What?" "Tommy?" "No, that's a bad idea right now." "Yes, a dicey move." "Maybe even dangerous, but potentially inspired." "Bernard, give them both a connection." "Maybe, but Tommy's in a bad direction." "It could spread to Albert." "You said Tommy was gonna be fine." "What are you leaving out?" "Nothing." "Give him his other." "It's an inspired idea." "It's groovy." "The connection will come back to us, Bernard." "It all comes around." "Like you say, take the long view." " Long view." "What's the other?" "We're going to find out right now." "Shh." "♪" "There was a drought." "There was no crop." "No olives." "No soul of life." "No rabbit in the oven." "We mashed locusts and made bread." "I have no idea what you guys are talking about." "I thought we were going to talk about petroleum." "Mrs. Echevarria visits us once a year from Spain." "She's sort of a little treat for our clients." "A kind of Spiritual Petit four." "Something that would be useful for you to be accustomed to." " Yeah, a real treat." " You have received your answer." "Senorita, the petroleum situation was not created by nature..." "Like the drought or the olives or any of that." "It was created by people, and this is the facts." "It was created by people who act like nothing's happening, and that's causing all the problems." "No, no, Tommy." "One question only." "Uno." "Okay." "Here's the question..." "no, no." "I think... you've had your question and the answer, Tommy, please." "Senora is tired." "Senorita, why do people only ask themselves deep questions..." "When something really bad happens?" "Then they forget all about it after." "Right?" "How come people are self-destructive?" "And third, I refuse to use petroleum, but there's no way I can stop its use in my lifetime, is there?" "Jimmy Carter would have a great electric car by now." "I could have a Cadillac Escalade, and it would be electric." "I wouldn't have to ride on my bicycle." "That is three questions." "I paid my money and I want a fucking answer." "So just give me a second." "I know, dear boy." "We wanted you to meet Albert." "I thought you said next week." "It turns out he can use a connection sooner than later." "Tommy has been working with us since that... the big September thing." "He's going to be your other." " What is it exactly?" " Like a buddy system I think." "When we dismantle, it can get kind of rough." "And it helps..." "To have a friend going through the same." "Do you drive a car?" "A bike." "Sometimes I take the bus." "Good." "That's good." "I like that." "I can see why they put us together." "Tommy Corn." "Albert Markovski." "I'll be your other." "Join us for Mancala hour." "Come." "Come." "Gracias, señora." "What's happening with your case?" "I don't know." "What do you mean?" "They won't let me see my coincidence file." "You want them to solve a coincidence?" "That's why you came here?" "Yeah, that's why I came here." "Who's the girl?" "The face of huckabees." "Tops and mops?" "That's her." "I doubt your coincidence is meaningful." "Why?" "I have a book by a French thinker named Caterine Vauban." "She says the same thing they say here about dismantling your reality to see the big picture." "What's the difference?" "Here, they say everything's connected in the blanket." "Vauban says nothing's connected." "It's all random and cruel." "It doesn't matter what you do." "That's nihilism, Tommy!" "They find it threatening." "But it is very convincing." "You know, my ex-girl won't let me see my daughter." "She's brainwashing her not to think or feel." "What kind of reality is that?" "Not this one." "Exactly." "I think you should just look in your file if you want to." "How am I gonna look at my file?" "You wanna see your file?" "I'll distract them." "You slip in for it." "Act naturally." "Here comes your boy." "Hey, you play Mancala?" "Didn't know you were interested in existential issues, Brad." "Why?" "'Cause I'm a dumb sales executive instead of a sensitive artist like you?" "No, I just never heard you talk about it." "That's all." "Why do you think I joined the open spaces coalition, man?" "I thought you cared about the issues." "I do." "Obviously you had a different agenda, didn't you?" "What books do you read?" "What books do I read?" "Phil Jackson's sacred hoops." "Really." "I read the galleys when it arrived at huckabees, and you know what?" "Seriously, that book's got some good questions." "You should read it." "Isn't it sports questions in that book?" "No, wise ass." "Phil Jackson's a smart guy." "All right, come on." "It was an honest question, Brad." "Felt a little hostile." "I feel the same thing from him." " Who the hell are you?" " Who the hell are you?" "You wanna go?" "Get out of here, man." "Hey, don't be a jerk, buddy." "Come on." "Don't be a... that's funny!" "He pushed him!" "It is not funny!" "Hey, he assaulted me, man." "He tried to attack me." "Hey!" "I tried to... you're dancing with my girl." "Yeah." "You wanna dance?" "No, I don't wanna dance." "Look at me." "Come on." "What?" "You want to go at him, right?" "Yeah." "No, I don't want to go." "He grabbed my girl." "All right, you guys wanna have a go at each other, right?" "You wanna have a go at each other." "You want to go backwards?" "The reptiles have been eating each other for years." "You want to be back on all fours?" "Right?" "Primitive?" "Come on!" "That's spirit you wanna keep for the battles inside." "What are you doing?" "I, um..." "Bernard... the dismantling thing with the whole... you know, all the poetry stuff... but I got it." "It's no big deal." "Because I got it now, okay?" "Every relationship is possible, guys." "Brothers, husbands, child." "Security breach." "He broke into his file." "What did you do, Albert?" "This is my investigation now!" "You think you know what you're doing?" "You haven't even begun..." "To dismantle your identity or your fear." "Albert's gotta do what he's gotta do." "Anybody think they know better?" "Want to take a shot?" "It's my coincidence." "Nobody?" "Yeah, nobody." "Sorry I grabbed you." " Reptilian." " Man, come on." "♪" "♪" "Hey, is that him there?" "Yeah, that's him." "Hey." "My goodness, it is you." "Yeah, it's me Albert." "How are you?" "This is my friend Tommy." "Hey." "Tommy Corn." "How are you?" "This is the fourth coincidence?" "No, I came here on purpose." "I was wondering about our coincidences and what they mean." "We were just wondering if we spent time, maybe try to understand it." " Perhaps you can be my guests for dinner." " That would be great, huh?" " Yeah, that'd be great." " Wait here." "I must ask my mom." "Guys, guys!" "My ball!" "My ball!" "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses..." "As we forgive those who trespass against us." "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." "For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory." "Forever and ever, amen." "Amen." "Steven, how'd you end up working as a doorman?" "It is our immigration agreement." "We must work." "The building supervisor hired Steven as a member of our congregation." "He was so skinny." "Skeleton man from Africa." "Skeleton man... what did we say about that?" "I don't want to hear it again." "It'll be no Internet tonight." "Didn't know what a can opener was." "He opened cans with a big knife like at the camp." "There aren't lions roaming here but there were in Sudan, and the orphan boys got chased." "And one time, a big alligator bit his friend's head off." "It was a crocodile." "He wanted to know where all the wheat comes from since he didn't see any cows." "Guys, that's enough!" "Albert, what brought you to the philosophical club?" "You mean the existential detectives?" " Sounds like a support group." " Why can't he use a church?" "Sometimes people have additional questions to be answered." " Like what?" " Well, um, for instance... if the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite?" "Can I trust my habitual mind or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?" "Sounds like we got a philosopher." "We don't have to ask those kinds of questions, do we, mom?" " No, honey." " What happened to the cat, Albert?" "H-how'd you know about my cat?" " The cat was killed by curiosity." " Right." "That cat." " What do you do?" " I'm the director of the open spaces coalition." " We fight suburban sprawl." " What's suburban sprawl?" "Ask Steven." "He could have used a little suburban sprawl in Sudan." "Excuse me, dad?" "Industry, houses, jobs, restaurants, medicine... you can preserve a lot of open spaces and have jobs for people with..." "I beg your pardon, Albert." "I wasn't finished." " Sorry, sir." "Clothes, videos, toys, cheeseburgers, cars, a functioning economy." "You can still have a functioning economy and preserve open spaces with a little planning." " Yeah." " Socialism." "Complete disaster." " Theodore Roosevelt was a socialist." "And Yeats." " Theodore Roosevelt..." "Henry David Thoreau, Robinson Jeffers, the national geographic society, all socialists?" " You're talking about socialism." " No, I'm not." "I'm talking about..." "Not covering every square inch with houses and strip malls..." "Until you can't remember what happens when you stand in a meadow at dusk." "What happens in the meadow at dusk?" "Everything." "Nothing!" "Everything!" "It's beautiful." "It's beautiful." "I work for an electrical engineering firm, son." "We do a lot of commercial and residential contracts." "If development stops, so does my paycheck." "Then Steven couldn't be here as our guest, could he?" "So your ideas hurt Steven." "I'm not hurting Steven." "That's an outrageous accusation." " Don't use that tone of voice in my house." " I think you started that tone." "And I think it's entirely possible for your engineering firm to have jobs for people, preserve open spaces, have contracts, do the..." "Whoa." " What's he doing?" " Why's he closing his eyes?" "Cricket, I don't know." " Do you have a job, tom?" " I'm a firefighter." "Oh, God bless you." "A hero." "I'm not a hero." "We'd all be heroes if we quit using petroleum though." "Excuse me?" " Say you're Christians living by Jesus' principles." "Are you?" "Jesus is never mad at us if we live with him in our hearts." "I hate to break it to you, but he is." "He most definitely is." "All right." "That's enough." "Steven, I don't know what this is about." "Why they're here..." " sorry, mom." "Sorry, dad." "I did not know." " Stevo, I'm so disappointed." "It's all right." "Look, he's sad." "He's sad." "I'm sorry, Stevo." "My bad." "You didn't know." " You should be ashamed of yourself." " I should be what?" " You should be ashamed of yourself." " Why should I be ashamed?" "You're a hypocrite." "I'm a what?" "You're misleading these children." "'Cause you're the destroyer, man." "How am I the destroyer?" "I saw that S.U.V. Out there." "My car's the destroyer?" "You wanna know how many Miles per gallon I get?" "Steven, I need to ask a question." "It's why I came here." "Why are autographs so important to you?" "It is a pastime with this family which they have taught me." "Which I can now carry on." "It's just for fun." "For entertainment." "No games at the table, please." "Yes. 260." "And I've reached the omega level." "Destroyer." "Destroyer." "Destroyer." "God gave us oil!" "He gave it to us!" "How can God's gift be bad?" "He gave you a brain too and you messed that up pretty good..." "I want you sons of bitches out of my house now." "If Hitler were alive, he'd tell you not to think about oil." "You're the Hitler!" "We took a Sudanese refugee into our home!" "You did." "But how did Sudan happen, ma'am?" "Could it possibly be related to dictatorships..." "That we support for some stupid reason?" "You shut up!" "You get out." "You shut up." "Come on." "Let's get out of here." "Later, Steve." "God bless you." "Wow." "What's going on in there?" "Crazy." "I can't believe them." "Hi, guys." "Oh, Christ." "You guys get anything good in there?" "You didn't, did you?" "You hesitated over the mention of a cat." "What does that mean?" "It means nothing." "Just like my coincidence." "Cat seemed to hit a nerve." "Yeah, I had a cat once." "You caught me." "You're amazing." "The method worked." "I saw it." "It seemed to calm you down, right?" "What method?" "Come on with that method." "That's a tranquilizer so people don't get pissed..." "About the painful, ugly truth... you know it." "No, Tommy." "It penetrates a unified infinity of everything." "We're not in infinity." "We're in the suburbs." "Infinity is everywhere." "That's what makes it infinity." "Okay, how does this connect?" "Mr. Nimieri's an orphan from Sudan..." "Who was chased by soldiers and crocodiles." "How does the love glow fit into that, man?" "It's connected." "Albert and Mr. Nimieri share a great deal." "It's just that... oh!" "Oh, my God." "What's she doing here?" "That's Caterine." "This is worse than I thought." "Oh, it's much worse." "The meeting's going down at huckabees right now." "Let's go." "Hey, everybody." "Calm down." "The national office recognizes the charter." "We're here today to give the director a chance to even the keel." "So just give him a break." "Thank you, orrin." "Okay, first director now." "Silence." "Excuse me." "First, I would like to apologize for my part of the fight..." "That I had with Brad stand a little while ago over the poems..." "That did not go out with the Shania mailing." " Where's Brad?" " Brad." "Brad." "Brad." "It's all Brad, Brad." "The big benefit's coming up with Brad..." "And Brad's running it and it's going to go great." "So, look, we're overlooking our core issues." "Brad is not here." "So to get us back on track," "I have a new poem I'd like to read." "Point of order, please." "A point of order." "I want to discuss this strategy of poems, which are getting us nowhere." "Excuse me, ma'am." "Ma'am." "Poems are amazing, okay?" "They will help you and your mind transform." "Who the hell are you?" "I'm with Albert." "It will help you..." "To transform your mind into thinking differently." " You guys need this, okay?" "This is great." " Where's Brad?" "This is called "an open meadow."" ""An open meadow, an open marsh in a cloudless sky." "Boring." "A crane flies."" "Oh, Brad's here!" "I got you, Mary Jane." "Oh, is that for my grandson?" "It most certainly is." "I'm talking here." "Come on." "Shit." "You know what?" "Let me just finish reading my poem..." "And then we'll review our strategy, okay?" " Good job, Albert." " Can it be taped?" "Excuse me, Brad." "I would like to finish reading my poem, please." "Thank you." "Relax." "Not doing your poem." "Don't give me the relax thing, Brad." "Let him read the poem, man." "He was in the middle of it." "That man is not in our coalition." "He has no right to be here and no right to speak." "No, ma'am, I'm not a member, but I am a local firefighter." "He's a great firefighter and exactly who we want on our side." "I don't know who these men are." "They're not members of our coalition." "They're working on the benefit." "They're bringing a lot of support for our cause." "Conflict is an illusion." "Shut up, Brad." "Hey, Albert, that's not the way a director behaves." "Why are you guys wasting all your time fighting each other?" "I mean, come on." "Serious." "Put the egos aside for a second, guys, please." "Deal with this issues, okay." "We have a deadly petroleum situation, not to mention..." "Shut up!" "Shut..." "Cystic fibrosis." "Civil war in Africa." "Toxic fish." "You have children in your own community going to prison." "Father Flavin doesn't have the money to help them." "Ma'am, listen to me." "This is exactly the unfocused, idealistic approach..." "By Mr. Markovski that's killing us dead." "Killing us dead." "Our mission has nothing to do..." "With this nut's petroleum fixation." "What did you just call me?" "Cystic toxic what?" "America wants to drive cars, right?" "I have a B.M.W. S.U.V." "And I like driving it." "I'm sorry." "Excuse me." "You got to give me a chance, all right?" "This is my meeting." "I'm the director." "We gave you a chance." "You're out of the charter." "He can't be out of the charter." "He is the charter." " I wrote it." " Marty, call security." "I think you should call..." "I move to vote. ÷ second!" "All in favor of Brad becoming the new leader of the coalition, say aye." "Aye!" "Hey, come on." "That's bullshit." "Congratulations." "Be strong." "Be strong 'cause you're going to be back." "Don't worry about those people." "They don't appreciate you." "Albert, what happened in there is reality." "It's cruelty and it's chaos." "The detectives are wrong." "What were you trying to do?" "You were trying to do a good thing, right?" "Well, look what happened." "I'm going to the other side, Albert." "I seriously suggest..." "You consider coming with me..." "As my other." "Albert..." "you're wrong!" "You're full of shit." "You guys got nothing to offer, man." "Tommy, no... this is the money right now." "Yes?" "No!" "You know how hurt you feel?" "This is the perfect opportunity to dismantle now." "Stay away from me!" "Stop!" "Look!" "Listen!" "Throughout infinity, your energy recycles into every possible relation..." "To everyone else's energy, even Brad's." "You've been predator and prey with him." "Friends, enemies, brother, sister, mother, child." "I give and I give and I give..." "And he takes and he takes and he takes." "Mama." "All right, baby." "All right." "Yahhh!" "It's a romantic fantasy." "And you left that part out, okay?" "When you were taking my cash." "I want it back." "Yeah, and if I wasn't pro Bono, I'd want my money back too." "Send it to my ex for my kids." "Hey, sign your bike out." "Sign your bike out!" "Tommy, come on!" "Go!" "I'll block for you." "Cocksucker!" "Motherfucking bitch ass motherfucking cocksucker!" "You're all a bunch of big babies!" "Maybe I should just quit." "I mean, what's the point of life anyway?" "I can answer these questions for you." "You can?" "Because I don't think the other guys are doing such a hot job." "Believe me, I can." "You're the writer Tommy's into?" "Are you unhappy with their work?" "Yeah, I'm ready to cross over to your side." "Tell me about your case." "Well, you seem to be following me pretty closely." "Why don't you tell me about it?" "You are miserable." "Obsessed with your strange coincidence." "Yeah." "Yeah, but they just want to talk about Brad stand." "They betrayed you, as he did." "That's right." "Betrayal embodies the universal truth you seek." "What truth?" "Cruelty, manipulation, meaninglessness." "Yeah." "Did they follow you?" "No." "I lost them on route 4." "Thanks for helping me out back there." "No problem." "Glad you're here, Albert." "This is the place to be." "Once you realize the universe sucks, you got nothing to lose." "That's what gives you LA Fuerza." "The force?" "LA Fuerza." "It's French for strength." "LA Fuerza." "You guys got a method here?" "Yeah." "Deconstruct your mind to the blackness, okay?" "Just accept it for what it is." "Nothing." "There's no glowing guys, no infinite mothers." "None of that bullshit." "My coincidence is meaningless, isn't it?" "Think, Albert." "Have you betrayed yourself?" "Wait a second." "What are we doing here?" " I don't want to go to this building." "Stop!" " Trust her, Albert." "This is for you." "Oh, thank you." "Hey, hey, hey." "What did she give you?" "No, stay away from me." "I don't want to talk to you." "Thanks, Steven." " Well, this is a rare occasion." " Where is she?" " Who?" " Caterine." "Who's Caterine?" "The woman who's spying on me." "Where is she?" "I don't think this is funny." "Oh, God, here we go again." "What's happening?" "He's just making a joke on me." "Are you making fun of your mother?" "No." "Why can't you get along with her?" "So, how's your poetry job?" "I got fired from it." "Oh, couldn't even hold down a poetry job." "Brenda, what the hell did you do?" "I didn't touch it." "Bullshit!" "I have this programmed on my favorite stations on a timer." "Can I please have some time with my son?" "I want to show him an article I have here on marketing internship." "You see this?" "That's great, mom." "It's right up my alley." "But it is." "It's a new hot..." " I sent this to you." "Why don't you ever listen to me..." " have you seen this system?" "State of the art." "We got speakers all through the house." "But listen to this." "♪ Oh, oh get in the action" "♪ find the attraction color my hair do what I dare ♪" "♪ It'll be easier to talk now." "Where did she come from?" "What's going on?" "See, I wasn't making a joke." "What's her name?" "I would like to discuss some curious findings." "Who is this lady?" "I found here in your apartment..." "A rather troubling piece of evidence." "What evidence?" "Do you recognize the handwriting, Mr. Markovski... excuse me, Mr. silver?" "This is silly." "Let's go." "No." "I wanna go." "Could you please read the date for me?" ""November 17, 1989." Albert was nine." "This is his journal." "Would you mind reading this out loud?" "No." "Please." "This stuff doesn't matter." "Let's go." "Oh, my God." ""I came home from school." "Mom was in the kitchen with a strange lady." ""Mom told me to go back to my room." "I thought I was in trouble." ""She closed my door and said, 'Purree got hit by a car and killed.'" ""and then she took me back to the lady in the kitchen..." ""And told me to spell words to show how I'm a good speller." ""I said I had to go to the bathroom." ""I climbed out the window." "I went down the block." ""I saw Barney playing punch ball." "He said I look sad." ""I told him what happened to my cat." "He said, 'that's sad.'" ""then I cried, but I tried not to show." "Some of the kids laughed." "Barney said he cried when his dog died." "And the kids stopped laughing."" "His cat died." "He was sad." "What's your point?" "Nothing strikes you as odd?" "See?" "It's nothing." "Let's go." "These things happen." "Oui." "C'est Vrai." "The Universe is cruel." "But tell me this, Mrs. silver, this lady you gave the coffee to... was Helen's sister." "I don't remember her name." "I met her the once." "Was there some painful thing about this stranger..." "That required your immediate attention?" "No." "Helen wasn't home, so I offered her sister a cup of coffee." "But you agree that Purree meant a great deal to Albert?" "You can't make a federal case out of the cat." "Answer the question, please." "I don't know much about the cat." "I traveled a lot for work." "We're not talking about this anymore." "It's embarrassing me." " Precisely the point." " What?" "You were embarrassed for feeling sad about the death of your cat." "It's painful enough to feel sad, but on top of it, to feel embarrassed for feeling, that is the killer." "How is that my fault?" "I didn't tell him to be embarrassed." "But you did." "It was more important to have a cup of coffee..." "With a perfect stranger than to talk to Albert..." "About what for a small boy is a large tragedy." "This is ridiculous." "He climbed out his window, a criminal in his own house." " Why?" " I don't know." " I think you do." " I don't." " Yes, you do." " Oh, stop it!" "I think you should go." "No, I will not go." "Albert has a place here, a place you have denied." "This is my home." "I can tell him what I want." " Yes, your home is a lie." " What does that mean?" "I gave my life to this selfish bas... so he could be an ornament to you, not a person." "God, what are you, a bitch?" "You're a bitch." "How many kids do you have, bitch?" "Listen." "Listen." "This is your mother." " You asked me to come up here?" " What does the doorman have to do with this?" "He was orphaned by civil war." "You were orphaned by indifference." "This is but one part of your puzzle." "Do you see?" "Oh, now the timer's all fucked up." "Brenda!" "Gee, is it that hard?" "Go ahead and do it." "All I'm gonna do is listen..." "I spent what?" "I spent $2,000 on this?" "I wanna listen to a radio!" "Thanks." "We'll meet you later by the rock." "I'm sorry, man." "I need, like, a minute to figure this out." " She had to get you to see." " See what?" "You were trained to betray yourself right here." "That's why you betrayed yourself by going to Brad." "Why didn't you figure this out?" "Why didn't you bring me here?" "Because you lied to us." "You told us that the African guy..." "Was the... the doorman at your friend's building, not at your parents' building." "You encrypted the truth." "That's how good you are at betraying yourself." " Right." " I told you that he wasn't ready for infinity." "Don't start with that magic blanket bullshit, okay?" "It's not magic." "It's just the way things are." "You and me and the air are actually tiny particles..." "That are swirling around together." "Look right here." "You see?" "Okay." "But look at the cracks..." "Between these particles and the cracks we fall through, the holes of nothingness." "Exactly." "Because that's what I just experienced upstairs." "Look closer." "There are tiny particles connecting the larger cubes." "Yeah, and then tinier cracks between the connections." "And even tinier connections." "And even tinier cracks." "Yeah, but if you look close enough, you can't tell where my nose ends..." "And space begins, because they're unified." "See?" "So what?" "You can't see any of this anyway!" "Do you see anything?" "No." "But I want to debate this particle cube thing." "You live all the time with things you can't see." "You can't see electricity, can you?" "You can't see radio waves, but you accept them." "Trust." "Fuck trust!" "You better stay away from caterine, Albert, 'cause she's gonna lead you down the path of darkness." "She was our prize graduate student till she went astray." "I think that I am gonna stay with her, the cracks, the pain, the nothingness, because that's more real to me, that's what I feel." " Word." " Okay." "We're not sweatin' it." "No, we're gonna work with Brad." "It'll all come back to you..." "And interconnection." "Brad?" "Are you kidding me?" "I'm gonna work on that prick, and it's all gonna come back to pain and no connection!" "No." "It's on." "We'll see." "We'll see." "Ooh, damn." "Come on." "Oh, shit." "Fuck." "Oh, look at this." "Kafka." " He's planting garbage for us." " Kafka." "Kafka." "Look at that." "So fishy." "Ooh, she found his poem." "Oh, this is good." "I was hoping for a break like this." " Don't go in my den." " Whoa." "Whoa." "I'm not unhappy to be with you!" "Let me see this!" ""Putting on a show." "Can't say no." "Inside I'm drowning, sighing and frowning."" "That doesn't sound very happy to me." "Does it sound very happy to you?" "I only wrote "frowning" to rhyme with "drowning."" "Then why did you need "drowning"?" "To rhyme with "frowning."" "There... there's nothing in it." "What does that mean?" "Look!" "And why do they have to go through our yard and go through the garbage?" "What is he doing?" "Stop that." "Why is he sniffing my blouse?" "Perspiration levels indicate stress, and that's kind of high." "Brad signed a rather comprehensive contract..." "Allowing unfettered access to your home." "Well, it's my home too, and I didn't sign anything." "You're going to have to work that out with Brad." "The mortgage is in his name, and you're not married." "Are these from this year?" "Last year." "We went to Saint Bart's." "What about this year?" "We didn't take a trip this year." "How come?" "Too busy." "A lot of work." "Too busy to go have fun?" "Hon... honey, why are you involved with this?" "You don't believe in therapy." "No, see, I don't see this as therapy." "I'm proactive." "These people are action oriented." "It's like the company retreats at Hilton head." "Remember?" "No, hey." "Get out of there." "Hey!" "Hey!" "No." "Now, unfettered access." "Remember last year, the trust thing?" "The paragliding?" "A quick look at your label." "It's just like that." "No, it's not like that!" "This is... actually it is." "No, it is." "Everything will end up nice." "It seemed like they were helping Albert." "They can help me." "Help the open spaces." "Help huckabees." "What are you talking about?" "He did mention that in his application..." "That he felt exhausted "from having to constantly charm everyone, but doesn't see any alternative because..."" ""you need to get people to like you to be successful to get things done in this world."" "End quote." "Duh." "Brad likes to be charming." "It comes naturally." "I only put those things in the garbage as a joke." "Yeah, see?" "That's funny." "Back door way to charm." "That's joking as a disguised request for approval." "That's saying, "joke," but really love me." "Joke, love me." "Ms. Campbell, how have you felt about being pretty?" "Oh, please." "I don't think of myself as being that pretty." "Yes, that's changed at huckabees, but, you know," "I was never the pretty girl." "Really?" "No." "I just have to keep up with this gorgeous hottie." "How's the sex?" "How is the sex?" "The sex?" "Come on, guys." "Come on." "That's private." "That's gross." "A preliminary surveillance..." "Indicates it's been infrequent and short... eight to nine minutes..." "Typically." "Surveillance?" "You watched us?" "No, just listened." "So, your surveillance is wrong." "Yeah." "It's quantity, not quality." " What?" " She meant quality, not quantity." "I know." "I was only joking." "Were you joking..." "When you said quantity and not quality?" "In regards to sex?" "We're not gonna discuss this." "We're private about..." "Our seven minutes of heaven." "It's longer than that." "Eight minutes of heaven!" "It's not quality, it's quantity!" "You oughta see her after a couple margaritas." "Oh, my God!" "I'm crying." "Honey..." "what is it?" "Why did you have to write this poem?" "How come we can't discuss these things ourselves?" "Where is this relationship going, huh?" "Why is marriage and kids so important?" "There's an overpopulation problem." "Whoa." "That came out of left field." "All right." "Why is having children the ultimate performance for successful people?" "Why?" "Well, it doesn't have to be a performance." "You know, we don't have to have kids." "We could just, you know, think about it, or not." "Could just be ourselves, Jet skiing, whatever." "This is not why I hired you." "Then why did you hire them?" "Well, I have a meeting." "Oh." "There it is." " Would you like some tea?" " With a little lemon." "So, I've never really done anything like this before." "Um, where..." "where would we start?" "Now." "Now." "Did you get it?" "Yeah." "I did." "I felt it." "It's hard to describe." "Very, very good." "Your turn." "Now." "Not so hard." "Sorry." "Now." "Now." "Now." "Now!" "Did you get it?" "Yeah, you stop thinking." "Yes." "It's fantastic." "It's like I'm here, but I'm not... so, I'm not here." "It-it's just..." "I..." "I..." "I don't know." "Do it one more time." "It's like I'm a rock or a dish of mold." "I'm whatever else is around." "So I'm free to just exist." "This is the answer." "We just have to be this all day, every day." "That's the answer." "Yes." "Do it again." "Do it again." "Now." "Careful, my young students, you cannot stay in this state all day." "Why not?" "Yeah, why not?" "It is inevitable that you are drawn back into human drama." "Desire, suffering... everything that exists in this imperfect world." "Shit." "So we get drawn back into human drama..." "And how important we think that is." "Then we do crazy stuff." "We have to go back to the ball..." "So we can get the freedom of being like a..." "like a dish of mold." "Yes." "And then back to the drama, the suffering." "It's kind of a crappy deal." "C'est Exactement CA." "An absurd theatrical we must play out, back and forth, from pure being to human suffering." "But isn't the drama and suffering less if we do the ball thing every day?" "Don't put it "the ball thing." Call it "pure being."" "Doesn't the pure being, ball thing make the day-to-day suffering easier?" "Yeah." "No, it doesn't." "You're wrong." "We're gonna do this every day." "We'll show you." "It'll make it easier." "I'll prove it to you." "Human drama is inevitable." "Suffering cannot be diminished." "You cannot escape, Tommy." "You'll see." "Existence is a cruel joke..." "That entices in a form of desire." "Absurd theater of desire." "I know, buddy, it hurts." "It's painful." "Wait here." "Where you goin'?" "To meditate on desire and suffering." "Can I come?" "No." "Okay." "I'll see you in a little bit." "We'll do more, um, pure being?" "Pain..." "I hope so." "Don't fucking leave me." "♪ Nothingness" "♪ somethingness" "♪ nothingness ♪" "You look ugly!" "No, no, no." " Hold up." " No." "No." " No, go back inside." " Can I have my car keys?" "You can't keep coming to work if you dress like that." "Me and Daryl made some spots Marty's gonna love." "These are the best tops around." "Last time, last year, not so good." "But now, this is the truth." "Marty's gonna hate them, dawn." "He's gonna hate them." "There's glass between us." "You can't deal with my infinite nature, can you?" "That is so not true." "Wait, what does that even mean?" "We've talked about your intimacy problem." "What's the core of it?" "Intimacy is combo of infinites." "I'm definitely gonna have an intimacy problem with you if you keep dressing like that." "Well, it's only been a week." "One day is too much." "The people at the office are freaking out." "You could get free, Brad, but you think you have to be superman in control." "And that means you are the source instead of part of the infinite." "And that makes it too hard for us, baby." "Stop talking to me like that." "You hired the detectives." "You don't have to listen to every word they say." "How am I supposed to know which parts to listen to?" "I'll tell you." "No, that's confusing." "Take that off." "Take it off." "No." "Can I have my car keys, please?" "Give me my glasses." "No." "Give me my glasses." "You give me my car keys." "No." "Yes." "You stay at home." "Till you dress normal, you don't come to work." "Trees and bees..." " hey, Daryl, where are you?" " Hi, honey." "Dawn, this is Heather." "Hey, I'm Heather." "Let's do it." "Let's make a commercial." "I'm a really big fan of yours." "Well, thanks." "It's so weird to meet my voice." "Welcome to the family." "What?" "This script only has my lines, and I don't see another character here." "I told you, you are the trademark voice of huckabees." "So... right." "So what's the problem?" "She's the voice." "I'm the face." "Go, Heather." "Girl, you could..." "Yeah, yeah." "All this, and brains too." "Son of a bitch, Daryl!" "They want me back in a bikini?" " Dawn, please." " Wake up, pretty girl." "The joke's on you!" "The joke is on you!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "No, stop." " Don't look at me." "I just want to be left alone." "I'm sick of this." "I'm sick of you all looking at me." "Look at me." "Please, please, please, everybody." "Everybody look at me now." "I am so pretty." "I am so pretty." "Look at me." "Everybody just wants to be me." "I'm pretty." "Shania's on the stage." "We've got the executives here, that's great." "Working their way back to the, uh, lesser donators." "Right." "Well, when we did the Garth benefit in Dallas, we put the $10,000 donors up here." "Wow, Garth." "Was that Garth Garth, or Chris Garth?" "That's classic Garth." "The best." "Classic Garth costs." "Yeah, so, when we did the Garth benefit in Dallas, that's what we... where's Marty?" "Where is he?" "Have you even seen my commercials?" "Have you?" "I'm doing this for you." "Oh, my God." "They're your detectives, and they gave me this truth." "Wow." "Nutty." "Do you understand?" "There's glass between us!" "Don't look at me like that!" "Hey, hey." "Hey..." "there you are, Marty." "Why don't you like my spots?" "Honey, this look is hurting you, and it's hurting huckabees." "This is myself." "Then you won't speak at the benefit as yourself." "That is not huckabees." "I am still huckabees." "Not in that bonnet." "It's in my eyes, Marty." "It's like that story of the cave." "What in God's name is happening to you?" "We trusted you." "We took care of you." "We made you into a national icon." "Pulled you out of a mall." "Eh, you've been given everything by huckabees." "Fuck-a-bees!" "Ooh." " Wow, wow, wow." " Bradley, there's board members here." "She's knocking on the glass... that's not gonna look too good for a new corporate guy." "What?" "I got corporate?" "You got corporate." "I got corporate?" "Yeah, you got corporate." "Now go and contain her." "All right?" "She said, "fuck-a-bees."" "Yeah." "She said fuck... what are you doing?" "What are you doing to us?" "I'm in my tree." "I'm talking to the Dixie chicks..." "And they're making me feel better." "Well, I think the Dixie chicks would like you to know that I just got promoted." "What?" "V.P. For public affairs." "I got corporate, dawn." "I'm sorry you had to go through all this." "It's for the greater good." "I went to the detectives to shake Albert out of the coalition." " I admit that." " This doesn't make sense." "Sweetheart, you're mixing yourself up." "Listen, you're mixing it all up." "Wait a second." "Huh." "Do you even care about the marsh and the woods?" "Yes, I care about the marsh and the woods." "Albert was not gonna save 'em his way." "You don't go through the back door with a poem and a bonnet." "You go through the front door with a tie, and you own the marsh and the woods." "That's how you're gonna save 'em." "Let's celebrate." "Mm-hmm." "You want some new clothes?" "Yeah." "I'll get you whatever you want." "What do you need?" "I don't know." "Pedicure?" "Yeah, but do I have to be pretty all the time?" "Well, you know, you have a choice." "But, no, it's not a choice." "I do have to be pretty." "Well, I'm pretty sure the Dixie chicks would want you to spread your love..." "Here where you can at huckabees." "Right." "That's good." "You know what?" "You got Albert fired." "Stay positive." "Bermuda." "Jet Skis." "Piña Coladas." "All right?" "Yeah." "When you leave the office, will you go through the back door?" "Okay?" "'Cause you don't look so good today." "Okay." "Okay." "Okay?" "Mm-hmm." "Hey, tom, tom." "Go for it, man." "The woods are hopeless." "Don't waste your time." "They will be destroyed." "So will the marsh." "It is a losing game..." "Mankind has played for more than a century." "Sadness is what you are." "Do not deny it." "The universe is a lonely place, a painful place." "This is what we n share between us, period." "Whoa!" "H'yah!" "What are you doing?" "You told me you were done with this stupid method." "Why n't I do it?" "Beuse it is a fantasy." "Do you want to lead a fake life?" "You don't have to get so threatened." "I n mix your thing with their thing." "No, you n't!" "Why not?" "Beuse they are completely different." "And theirs is a lie." "For the last time, forget the tree fantasy." "And as for Brad, you must do to him for real..." "What he did to you, and..." "You ditched me." "First my family, and now you guys." "She's my teacher too, Albert." "And she's still your teacher, tom." "No." "It's all different now." "I thought we were a platonic trio, not some sick sex dance." "You said that was bullshit." "Learn from this, Tommy." "Painful truth." "I warned you... human drama." "Is that why you're doing this, to teach me?" "Yeah, is that why you're doing this, to teach him?" "Of course it is." "There are unique moments when two people share the deep sorrow of existence." "All right." "That's what I wanted to hear." "How n you believe that bullshit?" "T-tom... tom, I'm sorry." "This just happened." "I've never done anything like this before." "We could still be... you n still be my other, right?" "Shut up, Albert." "I brought you here." "I wanted to share LA Fuerza with you, and you ruined it." "You fell in love." "Do not defile it with cliche." " It is unnameable." " Yeah?" "Well, I reject unnameable!" "It leaves me out!" "Where is your pure being now, Tommy?" "I told you." "I'm just gonna accept my loneliness." "And I'm gonna go to an even darker place of nothingness." "From an even farther, more extreme nothingness on my own!" "Who needs you guys?" "Ahh, sublime." "Hey, welcome." "You like my new office?" "Let's start with the method." "Let's start with the method." "We'd like to discuss..." "we'd like to discuss... okay." "What are you doing?" "Okay." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "I'm jokin' around, guys." "But seriously, I want to quit the process with you." "Nothing personal." "I appreciate what you've done for me, but I'm over it." "You n't quit until the se is over." "Ah, I n fire you." "No, you n't." "No, you n't." "Sure I n." "No, you n't." "Paragraph 201." ""Neither client nor detective..." ""May terminate se prior to resolution as defined by paragraph 314, sub-clause 'd', which states..." that's not binding." " Oh, it's binding." " I'll find a lawyer." "Oh?" "Or maybe even go to the FBI." "How about that?" "Go ahead." "Oh, I will." "I'm not kidding." "No, Brad, this is how it works." "You go to the police." "You... you tell them that you went to the existential detectives." "They ask why." "You say, "for personal reasons."" "Or, maybe you wanted to work the politics at your corporation..." "By rattling Albert Markovski." "I never told you that." " Well, give us a little credit." " The police go to huckabees." "They talk to them." "The board learns that rising star, Brad stand, has weird existential issues." "Or he fakes them." "Which is odd." "Which is worse." "And your girlfriend, the voice of huckabees, is dressing like an Amish bag lady." "Okay, I get it." "You know, Brad, suddenly your star isn't rising anymore." "It's sinking." "Okay." "I said I get it, Bernie." "Relax." "Passive-aggressive." " Shut up." " Aggressive-aggressive." "Does dawn want to quit?" "Dawn's into this crap for real, which is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life." "Shall we get back to the se?" "All right." "What you got on me?" "Nothin'." "Our staff did a little field work in, uh, Cleveland." "What?" "Talk to my family?" "Mommy and daddy look awesome." "So do you." "But this guy." "Wha..." "ah, he doesn't look too good." "You bastards." "He doesn't look too good, does he, Brad?" "How could you do this?" "Ooh." "Mm-hmm." " Are you kidding me?" "He weighs 250." " He talks about geckos all the time." " What's the point?" " I thought he was a sweet, sensitive young man." "Oh, excuse me." "You... you spoke to my fat, sad brother?" "Yes, Brad, on the phone." "Indeed, I did, at length." "Well, if he's so sensitive, why doesn't he lose 70 pounds and stop talking about geckos." "Maybe he'll find some friends." "Well, your brother feels that you're ashamed of him." "Are you sympathetic to him?" " Are you kidding me?" "I gave him a r." " Mm-hmm." "I send him shirts." "Mm-hmm." "I..." "look." "Here, guys." "Geckos." "And I keep 'em." "I'm a pretty good older brother." "He wishes you would listen to him more." "About what, geckos?" "I..." "I don't have all the answers." "But maybe he should listen to me more and learn a little." "You have several stories that you like to tell over and over and over." "Ohh." "Oh-ho." "That's not..." "come on." "That's a lie." "I..." "I'm not boring like him." "Like the mayonnaise story." "The Mayo story." "May 18, sales meeting." "Shania's there, you know, promoting her apparel, right?" "It's 4:00." "She's starving." "She hates mayonnaise, right?" "Allergic to it." "So I order a ton of tuna fish sandwiches." "Back then that's all she's eating." "Tuna fish." "No Mayo, darling." "June 5, driving range." "No joke." "We gave her a chicken salad sandwich once, she threw up in the back of the limo." "June 30, the lake." "Shania's there promoting her apparel, right?" "It's 4:00, and she's starving." "She's a busy lady." "I order a ton of tuna fish sandwiches." "That's all she's eating back then, tuna fish." "July 9, flight 27 to Chigo." "Shania's there promoting her apparel, right?" "It's 4:00." "She's starving." "The lady hates chicken salad." "Gave it to her once, she threw up." "August 17, conference ll." "Shania's there promoting her apparel, right?" "No Mayo." "She hates it." "And she nnot eat chicken salad." "That's no joke." "September 3, in traffic, your cell phone." "Shania's there promoting her apparel, right?" "Back then that's all she's eating, tuna fish." "No Mayo." "I eat two of the sandwiches in front of her." "She now eats one and a half." "Now she believes me." "She eats one and a half sandwiches before she realizes it's chicken salad." "Why do you think that you tell the Mayo story so much?" "I don't know." "Why?" "It's propaganda." " For mayonnaise?" " For you." "Specifilly, you're so impressive beuse you know Shania." "And you're so strong, beuse you pull one on her." " You're a funny guy, a good guy." " Keeping everyone laughing..." "So that maybe, quote, you don't get depressed." "Well, what's so great about depression?" "Nothing." "Unless it holds the key..." "To something you compulsively avoid..." "So it will never be examined or felt, hence your behavior becomes repetitive like the story." "Like the story." "Like the story." "Like the story." "Like the story." "Like the story." "Shut up." "All right." "I don't have to tell stories." "What do you think would happen if you didn't tell the stories?" "Are you being yourself?" "How am I not myself?" " "How am I not myself?"" " Myself." "Myself." ""How am I not myself?"" "How am I not myself? "How am I not myself?"" "How am I not myself?" ""How am I not myself?"" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" "How am I not myself?" " How am I not myself?" " Bradley?" "She's starving." "She's a busy lady." "I order a ton of tuna fish sandwiches." "That's all she was eating back then, tuna fish." "No Mayo... hey, Bradley, how do you like the corporate men's room?" "Freakin' awesome, man." "Hey, Brad, you want to hear something funny?" "The Dundalee cups are blown out in the sunbelt franchises." "How's that for super weird?" "That's a good thing to bring to the table today." "Right?" "You are just what the doctor ordered, my friend." "Right?" "Right on." "Well, let's go, dude." "I'm gonna introduce you to the board of directors, my friend." "John, what did legal say?" "Jerry?" "We have a legal problem." "Well, I disagree." "Give him the salmon stripper, ll it the Bass Basher." "They don't read English anyway." "Just ll it "tuna tornado." There you go." "Legal n cover that." "Speaking of Shania and tuna, Brad has the most incredible story." " Go ahead, Brad." " There's a bass Basher in Japan?" "What's that about?" "Well, we've got a trademark issue in Japan." "You got a legal problem?" "L-let's hear the Shania story." "I mean, that's what they wanna hear." " Yeah, come on, tell the Shania story." " Come on, Brad." "I don't want to tell that story." "What?" "I don't want to tell that story, Marty." "Come on." "You and Shania are downtown in the loop in Chigo." "You're opening up the store." "Shania, she all of a sudden, she gets... she gets..." "hungry." "Really hungry." "Right." "And so, you order... tuna sandwiches." "Yeah, tuna fish." "I thought she was a vegetarian." "You order tuna fish, okay, but you realize that she's allergic to..." "Marty, no." "She's allergic... yes." "Come on." "She's allergic to what?" "Why don't you and me go outside and have a... have a talk?" "Come on." " I'll be back in five." " Five minutes?"

"Because first you should get his financials before he's forewarned." "Because here is a man..." "Here is a man practiced in deceit." "This was almost, you could say, it's his job, and there is no reason it's not improper." "There is no reason you shouldn't get a picture of the household finances." "Paper files, computer files, whatever." "That's your prerogative." "You can be a spy, too, madam." "Do this, before he's put on alert." "Before the turtle can draw in his head and his..." " Feet." " Feet." "And hopefully everything will work out." "He will reform." "But if not... forewarned is forearmed." "We were young and committed and there was nothing we could not do." "We thought of the Agency less..." "Um..." "The principles of George Kennan, a personal hero of mine, like the fabled Murrow's Boys," "at a time of..." "You have reached the Cox Group." "We can't answer your call right..." "Hello?" "I'm looking for Dr. Cox." "Is she there?" "No." "She isn't." "Hers is the 5719 number." "This is the Cox Group, but you can reach her on her portable or at her office." "She's married!" "Number four." "Has a boyfriend!" "And number six." "She's pregnant!" "I should try to get a run in." "Ozzie!" "Let all with one accord rejoice" "In praise of Old Nassau" "In praise of Old Nassau, my boys" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Hurrah!" "Her sons will give while they shall live" "Three cheers for Old Nassau!" "We take all the chicken fat off your buttocks, here." "Mmm-hmm." " And the upper arms." " Mmm-hmm." " And a little off your tummy." " Yeah." "Great." "Now, we do breast augmentation... with a tiny incision here..." "That marker tickles." "and here." "And what about the upper leg, the higher inside thigh area?" "Well, we can do liposuction there, as well, but that area will respond to exercise." "The buttocks and upper arms begin to store more fat once you get up around 40." "The body just tells it to go there, but the thighs will respond to toning exercises." "Yeah, I can work on my arms till the cows come home, but..." "Well, also, there are of course genetic factors." "The Litzkes have always been big." "Well, everyone's got..." "My mother had an ass that could pull a bus." "Wow!" "Well, that's a..." "Father's side, too." "I mean, although Dad tended to carry his weight out in front more, in the gut area." "Derrière, not so much." "Okay." "And what about the face, you know, the window to the soul?" "Uh-huh." "Uh-huh." "Very well put." "Well, your eyes are one of your best features, but we can do something about the incipient crow's feet." "Baby crow's feet." "Little chickling's feet." "I mean chicks." "Chickie, chickie, chickie." "Yes, again, well put." "You have a way with words." "We make a small incision and then pull the skin tight, like stretching the skin over a drum." "Not too tight, though." "We don't want that "worked-on" look." "You need sufficient slack for the face to remain expressive." "Yeah, I don't wanna look like Boris Karloff." "So you don't want a sex change!" "No, I'm all woman!" "So, Linda, what we're talking about here is four different procedures." "The liposuction, the rhinoplasty, the facial tuck, which I would strongly recommend over the chemical peel." "Yeah, I don't wanna burn anything off." "And why should you, with that lovely skin?" "And lastly, the breast augmentation." "Now, we can also do something about the vaccine scar." "I don't know if you wear sleeveless dresses much..." "Not with these ham hocks!" "Yes, well, once they're nice and svelte, post-op, you may change your mind about that." "I wanna talk about this vaccine thing." "I mean, can you counsel me on this?" "I mean, is it really that unsightly?" "I see..." "I mean, a bunch of people have them." "Absolutely!" "Some women don't mind it." "It's personal taste." "Chad!" "Big breath." "Exhale." "Hold it." "Hold and release!" "Chad!" "And release." "Too much?" "I just felt a straining, a tightness in the front of my ass." "Well, you are pretty tight down there." "You have to..." "Yes, something snapped in my ass." "Chad Feldheimer to the office, please." "I'm gonna check with my office." "I'll be right back, and we're gonna work on opening those hips." "I just got a batch from BeWithMeDC." "Com." "Oh, no." "Anything good?" "I don't know." "I'm just looking." "How do I open this?" "Click on the..." "Click on the..." "Yeah..." "Okay." "Oh, my God!" "Okay." "Loser." "Loser." "Loser." "They should call this Mr. Loser." "Com." "Did you have to send in a picture?" "No, only the guys do." "I had to fill out a verbal profile, what turns me on, what turns me off." "I'm really looking for a guy with a sense of humor." " That guy..." "Wait." "That guy wasn't bad." " Him?" " No, before." " Him?" "Yeah..." "He might not be a loser." "How can you tell?" " That's a Brioni suit." " Yeah?" "Shit, yeah." "Does he look like he would have a sense of humor?" "Looks like his optometrist has a sense of humor." "What does he do?" "State Department." "That's cool." "His hair is..." "What is that?" "Plugs?" "This is our cardio area, and we have a lot of machines, so, believe me, there's never a wait." "I mean, what you see now is like our busiest time, and there's like a lot of machines open." "Hey, Chad." "Hey, Linda." "Did you call that guy?" "No, not yet." "Chad Feldheimer, he's one of our trainers." "I've been doing this Internet dating thing, and I..." "What service?" "BeWithMeDC." "Com." " Nice." " Have you used them?" "No." "Two friends did, though, and they both got hooked up... with really special guys." "That's fantastic." "If you're an English speaker, please say, "Yes"..." "Yes!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't understand what you said." " If you're an English speaker..." " English." "Would you like to speak to the billing department or to an agent?" "Agent." "I'm sorry." "I didn't understand what you said." "Agent!" "Agent!" "Hello." "Can I help you?" "Yeah, hi." "This is Linda Litzke." "Shall I give you my account number?" " You keyed it in." "I have it here." " You have it up?" "Okay." "I was told that I needed pre-approval for these surgeries..." "Yes, I'm showing that this procedure was not approved." "Yes, it was denied." "This operation is an elective procedure." "It's not covered by..." "No, those are four different operations." "It's very complicated." "I'm reinventing myself." "This is a whole new look, so it's not just one thing, but they're all approved by my doctor." "Your doctor's approval is not the issue, ma'am." " But this is not..." "Madam." " Our guidelines specify that elective surgeries are..." "My job involves public interface." " This is not..." " I'm afraid you don't understand..." "Oh!" "I understand." "Put your supervisor on, please." "Hold the line." "Alan?" "Linda?" "Yeah." "We've been over and over and over this." "First you say you can't commit, and then..." "Would you come down from there?" "We were married when I was in my, what, mid-20s?" "A kid." "We were kids, 20s." "You think it's forever." "You get older, you start to feel your mortality, and you say, "There's no more time for dishonesty," ""for subterfuge." You say, "I'm not that person."" "The choices you make..." "I'm thinking of divorcing Ozzie." "Frankly, I'm thinking..." "I guess that's what I should be thinking, too." "With Sandy." "Well, that's what you were just saying." "Absolutely, yes." "And you're right." "You should dump that bozo." "No question about it." "I agree." "So if I were divorced..." "Yes, I should settle things with Sandy" " because of you and me." " Mmm-hmm." "It's just, you know..." "It's hard to inflict that kind of pain, you know." "Of course, that would be easier for you." "Why's that?" "I don't see that." "Well, because he's such a dope, and Sandy is a good lady." "She's a very special lady." "She's a cold, stuck-up bitch." "That's a little..." "You and I should get things sorted." "I've always told you it's more than just frivolity." "That's right." "That's understood." "You've been very straight." "And I think I've been loud and clear." "Absolutely." "Not just fun and games." "Absolutely." " Agent!" " I'm sorry." "I didn't understand what you said." "Agent!" "Your call is important to us." "Please stay on the line for the next available agent." "Ted, can I talk to you about our Mickey Mouse HMO?" "Uh-huh!" "Hang on." "This is some heavy shit." "Is that my date list?" "No, fuck." "You know, I'm trying to reinvent myself, and these procedures, which are so incredibly not cheap..." "What is that?" "I can't believe this." "This is like intelligence shit." "I'm not comfortable with this." " This is like..." " What is it?" "I can't believe this shit I'm seeing." " Manolo found it." " On the floor there." "Yeah." "Manolo found like this CD just lying in a locker," " a locker floor, ladies' locker." " Just lying there." "I'm like, "What, someone's music or what?"" "And I come in here, and it's these files, man." "I'm not comfortable with this." "Talking about SIGINT and signals and shit and..." ""Signals" means "code", you know." "It was just lying there." "Talking here about department heads and their names and shit." "And then there's these other files that are just, like, numbers." "Arrayed." "Numbers and dates and numbers and numbers and dates." "And numbers and..." "I think that's the shit, man." "The raw intelligence." "I'm not touching this." "I want this out of here." " Just throw it out?" " No." "You can't do that." "You should put up a note in the ladies' locker room." "Put up a note?" ""Highly classified shit found?"" ""Signals intelligence shit?" "CIA shit?"" ""Hello!" "Did anybody lose their secret CIA shit?" I don't think so." "I don't know, you figure it out, but I'm not comfortable with this, and I want this out of Hardbodies." "We're running a gym here." "God." "Manolo, you didn't find this." "I found it on the floor there." "Yeah, I know, but..." "Right there on the floor there." "Just lying there." "Harry?" "Yeah, it's me." "Absolut Saketini, please." "Just a Tab." "But if I could get an advance on my salary," "I could at least get the surgery ball rolling." "Whoa!" "There's a payroll company, you know." "They don't just advance people money." "They just don't do that." "I mean, sure, I could say, "Yes, I authorize it", but that's not going to mean anything to them." "Then why do they have us on this cockamamie health plan?" "I need those surgeries, Ted." "You're a beautiful woman." "You don't..." "I have gone just about as far as I can go with this body." "I think it's a beautiful..." "It's not a phony-baloney Hollywood body." "That's right, Ted." "I would be laughed out of Hollywood." "I have very limited breasts, a ginormous ass, and I've got this gut that swings back and forth in front of me like a shopping cart with a bent wheel." "You know, there's a lot of guys that like you just the way you are." "Yeah." "Losers." " I don't know." "I mean, am I a loser?" " Ted." "You know, I wasn't always a manager at Hardbodies." "Let me tell you..." "Let me show you something." "Is that you?" "Fourteen years, a Greek Orthodox priest." "Congregation in Chevy Chase." " That's a good job!" "What happened?" " Mmm-hmm." "It's a long story." "Anyway... in many ways, I'm a lot happier now." "My point is..." "My point is, it's a journey." "That's my point." "I don't want to stay where I am." "I want to find someone to share my journey." "Well, you know, sometimes, if you don't look in your own back yard..." "I know." "That's why I started this Internet dating." "Uh-huh." "But what I'm saying is maybe, you know, you don't have to..." "Look, Ted, I know that you can't authorize an advance on my salary, but you could put in a request, can't you?" "It's not going to do any good, Linda." "Ted, have you ever heard of the power of positive thinking?" "Harry?" "It's Monica." "Well, hello." "Maybe I can get a run in." " Hello?" " Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Do you know what time it is?" "Uh-huh." "So, like, I couldn't call you on your totally unsecure phone, but I know who the guy is." "The guy?" "The guy, the secret guy." "So, is he high up?" "I don't know if he's high up." "Probably." "I mean, I got his name, not his rank." "So what's his name?" "Osborne Cox." "Never heard of him." "Like you're so plugged into the intelligence community." "I'm just saying as a layperson..." "I think the quality of the intelligence dictates how high up he is." "Okay." "Not what we know." "I also..." "Do you have any water?" "I gotta hydrate." "I got tap water." "Are you kidding?" "How do you know who he is?" "Sources." "What do you mean sources?" "You got like Gatorade or anything besides, like, Maryland swamp water?" "Do you know how far this is from my place?" "How do you know his name?" "I got this geek friend, Eddie Gallegos." "He does computer stuff, hooks up people's computers and programs their VCRs and shit." "So he examines the files and pulls off the digital watermark, which tells you what computer it was created on." "Fucking child's play for Eddie." "Uh-huh." "And..." "I got his number, I got his number" "Oh, my God." "That was a bit more difficult." "Shall we give him a tinkle?" "Oh, my God." "Why?" "'Cause he's gonna wanna know that his shit is secure." "He's gonna be relieved." "He might even be so relieved that he gives us a reward." "I would be very fucking surprised if he did not." " Wow." " Very surprised." "Like, you know, the Good Samaritan tax, which is not even a tax, really, since it's voluntary." "Hello?" "Osborne?" "Osborne Cox?" "Yes." "Who is this?" "This..." "Is this Osborne Cox?" "Who is this?" "What time is it?" "Who are you?" "Um..." "I'm a Good Samaritan." "I'm sorry I'm calling at such an hour, but I thought you might be worried." "Worried?" "About the security of your shit." "What on earth are you talking about?" "Who am I speaking to?" "Your files." "Your..." "The documents." "I know these documents are sensitive." "But I am perfectly willing to give back to you your sensitive shit, you know, at a time of your choosing." "What documents are you talking about?" "Osborne Cox?" "Yes!" "Yes, this is..." "Hello, it's Osborne Cox." "Who the fuck are you?" "What documents are you talking about?" "Who is that?" "Okay." ""The bureau chief in Belgrade we all call Slovak the Butcher." ""He had very little rapport with his staff and his dispatches..."" "Rapport." ""Very little rapport" ""with his staff", fucking moron!" "How did you get this?" "Don't blow a gasket, Osborne." "Who the fuck are you?" "Listen to me." "We have..." "It's not important where..." "You are in way over your fucking head!" "I don't know who the fuck you are, but you have no idea what you're doing!" "Oh!" "Why so uptight, Osborne Cox?" "I'm just a Good Samaritan, a traveler on the road..." "Tell him we're gonna give it back." "We just thought that he would like to maybe know, and tell him about that Good Samaritan tax thing..." " Who is that?" "Hello?" " Ozzie, what's going on?" "You tell him he's inconveniencing us." "Hello!" "Who the fuck is this?" "Ozzie, what's going on?" "You know, this is a major inconvenience for us, and we just thought a reward..." "So it's money!" "So it's money!" "You want money?" "Okay." "Listen to me." "Well, yeah, why not?" " Am I out of line here?" " Let me..." "Listen to me, you two clowns." "Listen to me very, very carefully." "You have no idea what you're doing, and I warn you..." "You warn us?" "You warn us?" "You warn us?" "Yes." "Yes." "I..." " Let me tell you something, Mr. Intelligence." " Yes." "Let me..." " We warn you!" " Listen!" "We will call you back with our demands!" "Hello?" "Listen to me." "Chad!" "Don't you..." " No, Chad." "Don't play his game!" " Let me explain" " how this will work." " Sorry." "Jeez." "The nerve of that guy!" "I am very fucking surprised he did not give us that reward." "What on earth is going on?" "Some clown, or two clowns, have gotten a hold of my memoirs." "Your what?" "Stolen it, or..." "I don't know how..." "Your what?" "My memoirs, the book that I'm writing." "Well, why in God's name would anyone think that's worth anything?" "It doesn't sound like he's gonna play ball." "He'll play ball!" "We just have to show him who's boss." "Well, that's..." "He sounds very senior." "I think this is some senior guy who has screwed the pooch, big-time." "Yeah, that's why we got him, you know." "We caught him with his thing caught in a big, fat wringer." " Yeah." " And us in the driver's seat." "Uh-huh!" "This is our opportunity." "You don't get many of these." "You slip on the ice outside of, you know, a fancy restaurant," " or something like this happens." " Right." "And right now this has happened." "Yup." "It sure has." "This could put a big dent in my surgeries." "Uh-huh." "Big time." "Honey!" "Honey!" "Huh?" "My car is here." "I'm off, mystery man." "What is that thing?" "It's top secret, baby." "How many cities?" "Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago." "Why do they always send you to Seattle?" "It's not a big market." "I don't know." "Lots of independent bookstores." "Rains all the time." "What else are people gonna do?" "I can think of a couple of things." "You can think of one thing." "Where are they putting you?" "Christ, it better be the Peninsula, the money I make for them." "Are you gonna be okay?" "I'll be sad, but I'll be okay." "Not too sad." "Just the right amount." "I am crazy about you, baby." "Hey!" "Tony Bennett, Toni Morrison," "Zoe Caldwell." "It was marvelous." "First time I've ever attended the Kennedy Honors." "Jane Alexander is a client, an old friend of Zoe's." "Anyway..." " Connie." " Yes, sir." "Would you bring in your copy of the Cox financials?" "Tony sang The Best is Yet to Come." "Tony Bennett." "I thought I had it here on a disk." "I don't know where the disk is." "I'm sorry, I'll have to run another off my hard drive." "All right." "Okay." "So we've drawn up the papers, and we are prepared to execute service on Osborne, if you so elect, Mrs. Cox." "But since we are at the point of no return," "I always urge my clients in this juncture to give it one more day of reflection." "Harry?" "It's Linda." "Well, hello." "I did the whole bodyguard thing for years." "My guy was in State, the Secretary as a matter of fact, so I did a lot of traveling." ""Ironside has left the building." We called him Iron Ass." "Not to his face, of course." "Not to his ass, either!" "He was okay." "Personal protection's a young man's game." "These are really good." "You wanna try one?" "Yeah?" "Does that have shell food in it?" " Shell food?" " I got a sensitivity." "I go into anaphylactic shock." "My larynx swells up and it closes..." "What the hell." "Live dangerously, huh?" "Can't always wear a condom, right?" "That's right!" "Not always!" "Yeah." "My job now is mostly administrative." "Not so much PP, personal protection." "I do still carry the gun." "Oh, my God." "No big deal." "Never discharged it in 20 years of service." "Security blanket now." "I don't even think about it." "Of course... you're not supposed to think about it." "In a situation where your man is threatened, the training kicks in." "It's muscle memory." "Just like that." "It's reflexes." "It's..." "Those are outrageous." "You wanna swap?" "No way!" " Go away." "Go away." " Let me touch." "Okay." "Saki?" "There was a hell of a lot of political infighting and petty, petty shit, and then basically the old man stepped on Geiberger's throat." "This is nice." "Is this wide-plank pine?" "Yeah." "I guess so." "Yeah." "Listen, Linda, full disclosure here." "Yes, I am not wearing a wedding ring, but I am married." "Hmm." "I took the ring off about 18 months ago when we agreed to separate, we agreed to disagree." "That's about the only thing we ever agreed on." "Well, thanks for telling me, Harry." "I really appreciate it." "You know, full transparency is my MO." "That's not gonna go off, is it?" "Well, let's get in the other room and find out." "That's great." "That's exciting." "Yeah." "He's very, very communicative." "Very accessible." "He has a sense of humor, and he agrees 100% about my surgeries." "Well..." "He agrees my ass could be smaller." "I mean, not in a mean way." "It comes from a place of humor." "That's good, but, Linda, what do you really know about this guy?" "I told you, he's in the Treasury Department." "But, no, I mean..." "You know, he could be one of these guys that cruises the Internet." "Yeah, so am I." "What's wrong with this?" "No, you cannot wear that." "You have to wear a suit." "You mean, go home and change?" "Yeah!" "I was gonna ride my bike." "Osborne Cox." "And you, I take it, are Mr. Black." "Yes, I am." "You have the money?" "$50,000." "That's what was agreed upon, Osborne Cox." "All right." "Let me explain something to you, Mr. Black." "You know who I am, I know who you are." "Perhaps... but appearances can be deceptive." "Yeah." "What you're engaged in is blackmail." "That is a felony." "That's for starters." "Appearances can be deceptive." "I am a mere Good Samaritan who..." "Secondly, the unauthorized dissemination of classified material is a federal crime." "If you ever carried out your proposed threat, you would experience such a shit storm of consequences, my friend, that your empty little head would be spinning faster than the wheels of your Schwinn bicycle back there." "You think that's a Schwinn." "Now give me the fucking floppy or the CD or whatever the fuck it is..." "As soon as you give us the money, dickwad!" "You fuck!" "Give it to me, fuck!" " You fucker." " I know who you are, fucker!" "You're the fucker!" " Where's the money?" " He hit me!" "Where's the money?" "He didn't give it to me." "For..." "Get in the car." "Get in the car." "What are you doing?" "Shit!" "Fuck it!" "Fuck!" "Fucking lunatic!" "You fucking morons!" "Dick!" " That'll give him something to think about." " Yeah." "I knew this would happen." "Wait." "Wait!" "We gotta go back!" "My bike!" "It's on to Plan B." "That's just a Kryptonite lock." "You can open those fuckers with a Bic pen!" "Some people." "What is this?" "Russian Embassy." "I told Mr. Krapotkin I might be stopping by." "Is there a men's room?" "Madam, you are mistaken." "I am assistant cultural attaché." "The organs of state security are not allowed to function within the borders of your country." "Organs?" "Yes." "But what if I had, say, secrets of a highly..." "Secrets that might interest the organs of the..." "Yes?" "That's just a taste." "May I ask the source of this material?" "No, you may not." " He's very high up." " Chad!" "What?" "I'm just saying he's high up." "PC or Mac?" " PC." " PC." "Could you wait, please?" "I do have a date." "Hey!" "The fish has bitten." "Huh?" "Yeah, he seems cool." "Chad." "Could you accompany me, please?" "There is more material?" "There's a lot more." "But we want to be paid first." "You are not ideological?" "I don't think so." "Look, I have a date, so..." "Date." "Uh-oh." " A line to check in, towels piling up." " I'm sorry, Ted." "And Manolo running around like crazy." "What happened to your nose?" "This is not acceptable at Hardbodies." "You two know better than that." "Yes, we do, Ted." "I'm really sorry." "This is no way..." "It was unavoidable, Ted." "It won't happen again." "But you won't tell me what's going on." "No, we can't." "I know this is really terrible, Ted, but I have to go." "I have a date." "You're changing, Linda." "It's very sad." "Which, to my mind, is all the more reason to lower the boom on Ozzie." "Mmm-hmm." "Is that it? "Mmm-hmm"?" "I'm wondering if it's the right time and..." "Well, of course it's the right time." "Why wouldn't it be the right time?" " Does this threaten you?" " No." "You and me, we're rock solid." "It's just, I think that's why we can afford to be big." "We can think about Ozzie and whether we give him a chance to get himself together a little bit, before you hammer the hell out of him." " Is that how you see me?" "Hammering him?" " Of course not..." " No, but that was your word." " Yeah." " I don't hammer." " No, of course not." "Listen..." "I'm no friend of the guy, you know that." "I think he's an arrogant little geek." "But, you know, we have all the time in the world, and he just lost his job." "He didn't lose it." "He quit." "Yeah, well, most of the people in this town who quit, were fired." "I feel sorry for him... and I think he'll be a lot easier to deal with if he doesn't feel cornered." "Maybe." "Just as long as we're talking about Ozzie here, not you." "Of course we're talking about Ozzie." "I'll do whatever you want, baby." "I adore you." " You get the check." " Okay." "Yeah." "Yes." "Is there blood in his stool?" "Later." "I'm running home." "I love you, baby." "Ozzie?" "God damn it, Ozzie, what have you done to the car?" "All right." "All right." "Oh, my God, am I really late?" "No, no." "It doesn't start for five minutes." "You haven't seen this yet, have you?" "This one, no." "No, I have not." "I hear it's terrific." "Great." "We've been over and over and over this." "First you say you can't commit, and then..." "Would you come down from there?" "Pardon our dust, the ex is in the process of moving out." "I told her to expedite things, but..." "Yeah." "Yeah, you know, you try to act like an adult." "Well, it's never easy." "Hmm." "You wanna come downstairs?" "You like surprises?" "Well, I'm always open to new experiences." "I gotta tell you, I saw an ad for this in a gentleman's magazine, 1,200 bucks. 1,200 bucks." "I'm looking at this thing and I think," ""Jesus, you gotta be kidding me." "I'm a hobbyist." ""This thing's basically nothing but Speed-Rail."" "I figure I'd go down to Home Depot and whip this up myself for 100 bucks." "What is it?" "You sit down there, make yourself comfortable, put your feet in the stirrups and..." "Oh, my God!" "That's fantastic!" "Something, isn't it?" "100 bucks all in." "Not counting my labor and the cost of the dildo." " Those things aren't cheap." " Uh-huh!" "See, I lack that." "I'm not set up to mold hard rubber." " The Russians?" "The Russians?" " Uh-huh." "Mmm-hmm." "The Russian Embassy, yeah." "Are you sure?" "Hey, the guy was not hard to follow, as you know." "Why the fuck would they go to the Russians?" "Why the fuck?" "I'm sorry." "Thank you, Hal." "Hey." "No problemo." "Look, Ozzie, I hate to be the paranoid old spook, but those two guys seem very interested in you." "You haven't gone poofy on me, have you, Oz?" "Can I help you?" "I'm sorry if I was staring, but your face looks familiar." "It's Princeton?" "'73?" "Yeah." "I can't remember your name." "Osborne Cox." "I thought so." "Served and witnessed." "You have a real nice evening." "Ouch." "What the fuck?" "Fuck!" "What the fuck?" "Fuck!" "Fucking..." "Why did you tell him we could get more stuff?" "Well, maybe we can." "That's all Manolo found." "That was everything." "What, are we gonna tell Manolo to scoop some more secret spy shit off the locker floor?" " Hey!" " What?" "I don't like the snideness, nor the negativity." " I'm sorry." " I'm just trying to work this thing." "If I'm gonna reinvent myself, I need these surgeries, and these surgeries cost money." " And this is not just fun and games." " I'm sorry." "So let's figure this thing out, okay?" "Chad, your Berry Blast is ready." "We know who he is." "Right, Osborne Cox." "So we can find out where he lives, right?" "I guess." " You should change into a suit." " Why?" "So you don't stand out in his neighborhood." "There are certain elemental things, Chad." "His neighborhood?" "Yes." "We should take out the labels and the laundry marks." "Laundry marks?" "Deniability." "Shake it down" "Shakes right" "What's the odometer say?" "Five." "About five or approximately five?" "I mean..." "For fuck's sake, Harry, it's five miles." "5.2." "Okay." "I gotta do at least five." "Five and a deuce is okay." "I'm amazed you have the energy." "You kidding?" "Pull around the corner and we'll do it in the back." "You're so coarse." "No." "Back of the car, not a rear entry situation." "Fuck!" "I'm late." "Hello?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "What the fuck?" "What the fuck?" "What the fuck?" "Nothing?" "Oh!" "Oh, my fuck." "I killed a fucking spook." "What the fuck are you doing here, you fucker?" "You..." "Olson, what's up?" "Palmer, what's up?" "Not quite certain, sir, but it's messy." "Kolyma Two tells us they have computer files from an ex-analyst of mine, Osborne Cox." "Kolyma Two?" "Our man in the Russian Embassy." "Hmm." "They were brought in to them by a woman..." "The Russians?" "Yeah." "It was brought in by a woman named Linda Litzke, an associate of a guy named Harry Pfarrer." "Picture's in the file, with Pfarrer's." " The Russians?" " Yeah." "And who's Pfarrer?" "Treasury guy who has been screwing Mrs. Cox." "That must be how they got the files." "Or maybe Ozzie knows about them." "They all seem to be sleeping with each other." "All right." "Spare me." "Yes, sir, but this Treasury guy... it's become complicated." "He just shot somebody in Ozzie's house." "Shot your analyst?" "No, Ozzie wasn't there." "Our man surveilling hears a gunshot, sees the guy wrestle something into his car." "Follows him." "He dumps a body in the Chesapeake Bay." "Well, what'd he do that for?" "Don't know, sir." "For Christ sake, did anyone fish the body out?" "Mmm-hmm." "And Russian?" "American?" "Don't know." "Scrubbed of ID." "And this Linda..." "Linda Litzke." "Yeah, she's Treasury?" "No." "We're fuzzy on her." "So we don't really know what anyone is after." "Not really, sir." "And this analyst, ex-analyst..." "Cox." "Yeah." "What's his clearance level?" "Three." "Okay, no biggie." "Just, for now, just keep an eye on everyone, see what they do." "Yes, sir." "And we'll interface with the FBI on this dead body." "No!" "No." "God, no." "We don't want those idiots bumbling around in this." "Burn the body." "Get rid of it." "And keep an eye on everyone, see what they do." "Report back to me when..." "I don't know, when it makes sense." "Go!" "And tap." "Up, up and tap!" "Up, up and tap." "I'm bigger." "I'm bigger." "Now let's add the arms, right here." "I'm bigger than ever." "Up, up, again." "And again." "I'm bigger." "I'm back." "I'm better." "I'm back." " Than ever." "I'm back." " Let's do it again." "Come on." "You fuckers, I'm back." "Up, up, down, down." "You fuckers, I'm back." "Up, up, down, down, up!" "And last time..." "Linda." "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, Ted." "I'm sorry." "You don't look fine." "No, no, I'm..." "But you won't tell me what's wrong." "You never let me in, Linda." "I know you're trustworthy." "I just..." "I don't want to endanger other people." "I mean..." "This is the path that I've chosen." "It's not..." "You have to isolate, you know, a firewall." "Well, I don't know what to think." "You both go AWOL on Friday." "And today Chad doesn't even bother to come in at all." " I know, Ted." " I can't run a gym this way." " I know, Ted." " I'm going to have to fire him." "No, no, no." "Ted, just..." "What?" "Give me 24 hours!" " To what?" " I don't know." "Just give me 24 hours!" " Linda..." " Just give me 24 hours to solve this thing." "Linda, I have to tell you." "A man was in here earlier, asking about you." "Are you in some kind of trouble?" "Is Chad running away from something?" "We know what we're doing, Ted." "Let me ask you this... did he know my name?" "Well, yes, he was asking about you." "Employment history, etcetera." "Real jerk." "I told him to get lost." "Thank you, Ted." "Well, we just don't give that out at Hardbodies." "Linda, a Mr. Krapotkin on line two." "Oh, my God." "Mr. Krapotkin?" "This Linda?" "Yes?" "Yes, this is Ilan Krapotkin, in the Russian Embassy, returning your call." "Yes, yes!" "Hang on." "I'm sorry, Ted." "This is private." " Mr. Krapotkin?" "Is this a secure line?" " Yes?" "Mr. Krapotkin?" "Is this a secure..." "Are you joking?" "No!" "I'm very worried about my associate, you know, Chad." " Do you have him?" " Do we have him?" "Is he..." "Was he..." "Well, I don't know what the term is." "Did he go over?" "I don't understand." "Is he not at Hardbodies?" "No." "Look, could I come in and discuss this?" "I'm very busy at the moment." "I'm coming anyway." "You seem distracted." "Do I?" "Very distracted." "The last few days." "Work." "You think that might be enough carrots?" "What?" "For the salad." "You know, you really are a negative person." "What?" "I've tried to ignore it, to remain upbeat." "Harry, stop the foolishness." " Stop the foolishness?" " Yes, and behave." "You are not speaking to one of your "shithole buddies."" "Hello?" "Honey, it's so good to hear your voice." "Is something wrong, Harry?" "No." "Yeah." "Can you come home?" "Baby needs you." "Can you please come home?" "Harry, you know I can't just leave the book tour." "I can show you your present." "It's finished." "Harry, I can't just leave." "There are two days left." "There's still Seattle." "Yeah." "I love you, Harry." "Yeah." "I love you, too." "Hey!" "Fucker!" "Fucker!" "Fucker!" "Who do you work for?" "Who do you work for?" "Who are you?" "Who are you?" "Who do you work for?" "CIA?" "NSC?" " Tuchman Marsh!" " What?" " Tuchman Marsh." " Tuchman Marsh?" "Yes." "Your name is Tuchman Marsh?" "Tuchman Marsh Hauptman Rodino!" " I work for them!" " You work for Tuchman Marsh." "Yes!" "Is that a law firm?" "No, a rock band." "Yes, it's a law firm." "Well, why are you following me?" "Divorce action, numb nuts!" "My wife hired you?" "No." "Your wife hired Tuchman Marsh." "Tuchman Marsh hired me." "I work for Tuchman Marsh." "Sandy." "Jesus." "Grow up, man." "It happens to everybody." ""And at midnight of the third day," ""even the sergeant at arms fell asleep." ""And it was just then, at that very moment, that Oliver sneezed."" "Can we just..." "I'm sorry to interrupt." "You have to let the folks at home see this illustration." "Can we just get a shot of that?" "There, there it is." "It's Oliver interrupting the filibuster with..." " That's wonderful." " It's wonderful." "The book is Point of Order Oliver!" "And the talented author is Sandra Pfarrer." "She'll stay with us for our next segment when we meet the Sultan of Salad." "And then it's part two of our very special interview with Dermot Mulroney." "So keep it where it is." "That was way out of line." "We were so unbelievably clear with them," " "It's just an Oliver segment."" " That's fine." "Del and Connie are such putzes." "That's fine." "Thank you, we're done." "Well, okay, great." "I thought that would never end." "Me, too." "Let me get this crap off my face." "What the fuck?" "Yes, madam." "Can we help you?" "What kind of Mickey Mouse embassy are you running, anyway?" "I've been waiting for 45 minutes!" "I'm so sorry, ma'am." "An urgent matter." "Well, maybe this is an urgent matter, since, you know, Chad's been missing for 48 hours." "I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Chad, madam." "He was gathering information for you when he was taken." "We're not interested in such information." "It was dribble." "Dribble?" "Would you like your disk back, madam?" "Dribble?" "I will give you dribble." "You listen to me, Mr. Krapotkin." "I am a US citizen, and I will not take this kind of treatment." "My check was returned for insufficient funds." "No." "No, no, ma'am." "No." "There're over $40,000 in that account." "The account is not overdrawn." "When?" "But how could she have access with..." "What about our savings..." "What about my savings account?" "Mmm-hmm." "No." "No, I'm sorry." "I don't know the number to my savings account, because believe it or not, I don't spend my entire day sitting around trying to memorize the fucking numbers to my fucking bank accounts!" "Moron!" "No way." "No, no way." "Whoa!" "No way, Linda." "No." "Well, I can't do it, Ted." "I don't know anything about computers." "Linda, this whole thing is crazy." "It was crazy the first time, and you want to do it again?" "Break into the man's house?" "You said the Russians didn't even want this stuff." "My world is bigger than that, Ted." "There are other people." "There are the Chinese." "Linda, these surgeries..." "No." "It's not about the surgeries, Ted!" "We can use this as leverage to get Chad back." "What do you mean get him back?" "Information is power, Ted." "Hello!" "What do you mean get him back?" "You don't know where he is?" "Somebody has him, Ted." "We can use this to..." "You call the police if you wanna get back missing people." "I can't take it!" "I can't take it!" "I can't take it!" "You know I can't do that." "We're operating off the map here, Ted." "This is higher than the police." "It is higher than them." " Linda, I..." " I need a can-do person, Ted!" "I hate your negativity!" "I hate your reasons why not!" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "What will it be?" "Seven and Seven." " Hello?" " It's Harry." "You think a marriage is..." "And then it's..." "But this has all been a long time coming." "Was it?" "Well, yeah, right." "I'm just depressed." "I gotta exercise." "I haven't run in three days." "Butt crunches, anything." "You think maybe I could stay here for a little while?" "Oh, my God." "No, no, no, no, no." "It can't always come from me." "I'm not that strong!" "You are not here for me, Harry." "I need a can-do person!" "You're all defeated!" "Chad is the only can-do person I know," " and now he's gone." "He's gone." " I'm sorry, baby." "I'll be good." "I'll be better." "I just gotta exercise." " Do you have a pedestrian path or something?" " Who the fuck is Chad?" "He's my friend from work." "You can help me find him." "You know law enforcement people." "You could make a call." " Unofficially." " Linda, hold on." "What happened?" "What's his name?" "Chad Feldheimer." "And he just disappeared." "He hasn't been at work or at home for two days!" "Okay." "You know his Social Security number?" " No!" "I..." " Okay." "Where was the last place you saw him?" "No, I don't know." "He just disappeared." "The Jamba Juice on K Street." "And now he's gone." "No." "Okay." "Now, okay, okay." "We're gonna find your little buddy." "It's a piece of cake." "Okay." " Piece of cake." "Very easy." " Okay." "Open your mouth, open it." "Do as the doctor says." "Come on, open your mouth." "Come on." "Open your mouth." "Now look here, young man." "You do as I say, or I'm gonna ask your mother to leave the doctor's room, and you and I are gonna sort it out between us." "Hello?" "I'm with a patient." "And it's the same fucking patient she's been with since yesterday?" "You tell Dr. Cox I have the new keys." "Hey, there, sunshine." "You seem better." "Yeah, well, I snuck in a little gym time this morning." "And our exercise last night didn't hurt." "Why, Harry." "Boy, I tell you." "I'm through banging my head against the wall." "I'm gonna start doing what's right for me." "I believe that, also." "I think you have to do what's right for you." "Yeah." "Hell, yeah." "You know, I had a shock recently, and I realized that life is not infinite and that no one is immortal." "I think that it's very important to maintain a positive attitude." "Always up, always ebullient." "Don't sweat the small stuff." " And it's all small stuff." " And it's all small stuff." "Just for starters." "Boy." "Why, this is where we first met, you remember?" "Of course I do." "And it's hard to know what the important days are until you..." "Now, I told myself that I wasn't going to be paranoid, but is that guy looking at us?" "No." "Uh-uh." "Have you found out anything about Chad?" "No, nothing yet." "I put in a couple of calls." "It shouldn't take too long." "Really?" "Yeah." "There are so many databases now it's a joke." "Back when I was in PP, there was still an art to finding people." "But not anymore." "Now with cell phones?" "I mean, pretty soon everybody's gonna know where you are at any given moment, any given moment." "Mmm-hmm." "All right." "When you left Jamba Juice, did Chad give you any idea where he might be going?" " I know where he was going." " You do?" "Georgetown." "Olive Street." "160 Olive Street." "It's the residence of this guy, Osborne Cox." "Who are you?" "What?" "Who are you?" "You CIA?" "NSA?" "You're military?" "Who do you work for?" "Who do you work for?" "Who are you?" "I'm just Linda Litzke." "Harry!" "For Pete's sake." "And you are my wife's lover?" "No." "Then what are you doing here?" "I know you." "You're the guy from the gym." "I'm not here representing Hardbodies." "Yes." "I know very well what you represent." "You represent the idiocy of today." "I don't represent that, either." "Yeah." "You're the guy at the gym when I asked about that moronic woman." "She's not a moron." "You're in league with that moronic woman." "You're part of a league of morons." "No." "No." "Yes." "You see, you're one of the morons" "I've been fighting my whole life, my whole fucking life." "But guess what." "Today, I win." "Stop!" "Intruder!" "Stop!" "Intruder!" "Stop!" "Wait." "Wait a minute." "Where is the Treasury guy?" "Pfarrer?" " Right now?" " Right now." "He is in a detention room at Washington Dulles." "Why?" "He was trying to board a flight to Venezuela." "We had his name on a hot list." "CBP pulled him in." "Don't know why he was trying to go to Venezuela." "You don't know." "No, sir." "We have no extradition with Venezuela." "Oh!" "So what should we do with him?" "For fuck's sake, put him on the next flight to Venezuela." "Yes, sir." "Okay." " Okay." "So the gym manager is dead." " Yes, sir." "The body is..." "That's gone, sir." "Okay." "But there was a snag." "What?" "Well... this analyst, Cox, was attacking the gym guy." "It was in broad daylight, on the street." "Our man did not know what to do." "Felt he had to step in." "Yes?" "He..." "He shot the analyst." "He shot Cox." "Good." "Great." "Is he dead?" "No, sir." "He's in a coma." "They don't think he's gonna make it." "They don't think..." "They're pretty sure that he has no brain function." "Okay." "Okay." "If he wakes up, we'll worry about it then." "Jesus, what a clusterfuck." "So, that's it then?" "No one else really knows anything." "Okay." "Um..." "Well, sir, there is..." "What?" "There is the woman, the gym woman," "Linda Litzke." "Oh!" "Fuck, yeah." "God!" "Where is she?" "We picked her up." "We have her." "We have her?" "To do what with?" "She says she'll play ball if we pay for some," "I know this sounds odd, some surgeries that she wants, cosmetic surgery." "She says she'll sit on everything." "How much?" "There were several procedures." " Altogether they..." " Pay it." "Yes, sir." "Okay." "Yeah." "Jesus fucking Christ!" "Yeah." "What do we learn, Palmer?" "I don't know, sir." "I don't fucking know, either." " I guess we learn not to do it again." " Yes, sir." "I'm fucked if I know what we did." "Yes, sir, it's hard to say." "Jesus fucking Christ."

"Infections are like sleeping monsters." "You can't see them." "You can't feel them." "But... you must do everything in your power... to contain them." "Because when the monsters wake up... they're out of control." "Hey." "Bailey, you shouldn't be here." "How is Seth Lepik?" "The computer says access restricted." "They won't even let me check on my own patients." "They swabbed my nose." "They're swabbing everyone's noses." "Well, are they sitting everybody down for interviews?" "'Cause they think I did something wrong." "Now I think it's the grafts." " I narrowed it down to..." " Look, Bailey, they've isolated the strain of staph in your patients." "Now they need to find out how it spread." "Your job is to cooperate." "I've got Seth." "Now go answer their questions." " Please." " Mm." "We are throwing Bailey under the bus." "Come on." "That is not what we're doing." "No, it seems like that's exactly what we're doing." "Two of our patients are dead of the same post-op infection." "A third one's barely hanging on." "It was time." "We get the C.D.C. in here and figure this thing out." "By treating Bailey like a criminal?" "She hasn't done anything." "I hope that you're right." "Truth is, we don't know that yet." "C.D.C. is simply asking us to temporarily freeze Bailey's files." "Oh, come on." "And that we not discuss this investigation with her." "So today, just keep your distance." "That is ridiculous." "Also I think now's the time to put out a statement." "No, no." " No." " Whoa." "Whoa." "About what?" "I mean, we don't even know" " if Bailey's the source of this thing." " If one of ours is at fault and we just sit on this information, we look like we're trying to cover something up." "The only way to let the public know that we can be objective is by being transparent." " Vote?" " I'm just saying, people should learn the news from us." " There's no news." " Okay, vote?" "There's no news yet." "Vote." "All in favor of no press release." "Okay." "No press release." "No statement." "Clear?" "Watch it, members only." "Promise me you'll be nice." "These guys are trying to take down Bailey." "They don't deserve nice." "No, not to the C.D.C. to Jason." "I'm nice to Jason." "Two minutes ago, you said, "Hey, I have"" ""a surgery today with your d-bag boyfriend."" "Yeah, but I said it with a smile." "Fine." "I won't call the guy a d-bag." "At least not to his face, anyway." "I'm moving in with him." "So what do you think?" "I think it's great." " Really?" " No." "I think the guy is a douche bag who you've known for about two minutes, and that makes you an idiot for moving in with him." " Alex..." " I'll be nice!" "I'm gonna rock this corner kick." "Later, I promise." "Right now I have a surprise for you." "Look who's here." "Grandma!" "Oh, Ethan." "As you can see, there aren't any residual effects from the surgery." "So..." "I can go home?" "Well, I'd like to keep an eye on you for another few days." "Well, we can handle a few more days." "Right, buddy?" "Hey, grandma, do you want to see dad?" "I can take you." "Oh, uh, is that..." " Can-can he..." " Sure, sure." "He sees his dad every day." "He chats up a storm." "He told him all about you coming to visit." "Dad's still unconscious." "That's because his brain is resting." "It's not uncommon after a trauma for a person not to wake up right away." "And speaking of Paul, I'd like to see him, too." "If that's all right?" "Ethan, do you feel up to pushing your mom around in a wheelchair?" "Oh, yeah." "Murphy?" "I'm not supposed to talk to you about this." "Dr. Bailey." "Come in." "Tell me there is someone down here that I can help." "It's five against one with the board today, and I need a victory." "Bed three." "Femur's broken." "I'm sending him up to angio." " Okay." " Alert the press." "See what I mean?" " You all right?" " Matthew dumped me." "Because I lied to him about my virginity like you told me to." " That's not..." " I liked because I had something to lie about." " April, hold on a second..." " You took my..." "I shouldn't have let you, but I did, and now he's gone." "I'm not board certified, I'm not a virgin, and everything I care about has been ruined because of you." "So you know what?" "Thank you." "Thanks for that." "Six against one." "Help!" "Yeah, help!" "We need some help over here!" " What happened?" " God, I'm gonna pass out." "We lost some fingers." "A lot of fingers." "We-we had a tug-of-war." "With what, razor wire?" "Even better." "Clothesline." "Does anybody have the severed fingers?" "Yeah, I got 'em." "I got 'em." "Whoa!" "That's a lot of fingers." "Yeah, I counted six." "Oh, no, five." "This one's a turkey dog." "9x21 Sleeping Monster" "Resync for WEB-DL by lost0ne" "I would like you to take me through each operation." "Well, I mean, if you're looking for the source, look at the grafts." "I used the same ones on each patient." "This part of our investigation concerns your interaction with the infected patients in the operating room, to the best of your memory." "I'd never used this brand before." "I remember not recognizing the company." "Uh, Dortmund or something..." "Dr. Bailey, we've looked at the grafts." "It's not the grafts." "May I begin?" "Oh, I was expecting a probing." "That's really more of a gentle swabbing." "Speaking of probing," "I've decided to have the baby naturally, but I know the second I start to scream," "Derek is gonna have them pump me full of drugs, so I'm going to need you there in my corner." "Yeah." "Uh, I'm not gonna do that." "Uh, when babies come out, people poop on the table." " Cristina..." " Uh, no." "Karev." "And can you make it fast?" "Peckwell's H.L.H.S. Mom is gonna be admitted." "We gotta go walk her through the procedure." "She wants me to watch her give birth." "You're gonna poop on the table." "I am not." "You are." "Almost everybody does." "Okay, so I poop on the table." "It's part of the miracle of life." "It's nasty." "Did I ask you to watch me give birth?" "No." "Cristina?" "We have been friends a long time." "You want to know how?" "By not watching each other poop." "Holla." "Well, the good news is, these wounds look salvageable." "I wasn't even gonna play, but my brother Al insisted." "And then we were losing, and Al was all..." ""Wrap your hands with the rope"..." "And I... did." "What are you doing?" "Uh, I just need to identify whose fingers are whose." "That looks like a pretty good match." " Yeah, except for the red nail polish." " Yes." "That's my sister-in-law's." "Jane, good news." " Your manicure's intact." " Mm." "Hi, Jane." "I'm Dr. Avery." "You mind if I take a look here?" "How's my daughter..." "Frances?" "Tony, how's Frankie?" "It's bad, honey." "The bone's still sticking out." "This is all gigantor's fault." "What's he doing at our reunion anyway?" "He's not even related." "He's uncle Tony's weird friend." "I didn't mean to pull so hard." "Lay off Gunnar, Cash." "It's not his fault." "He didn't suggest to play tug-of-war with a clothesline." "You want to blame somebody, blame your uncle Al." "Okay, Kellers, I'm back" "And I'm armed with french fries." "Huh?" "Any takers?" "We can't eat, Al." "We're just about to get our fingers reattached." "Okay, uh... anybody cold?" "I-I can find blankets." "Stop, Al!" "Just stop!" "Nobody's hungry or thirsty or wants to run a relay race!" "Reunion's over." "Okay, Frankie." "I'm gonna need to get some X-rays." "You gonna be okay being away from your family for a little while?" "Yes, please." "Yeah." "Okay." "Dr. Hunt says it's good to talk to him, too." "Hey, babe." "I gotta be honest with ya." "You've looked better." "Me?" "Well..." "I haven't looked this good since that summer that we went to the river and I got that stomach bug and I lost, like, 15 pounds." "You're missing it." "Stop it." "It's not funny." "None of this is funny." " My son is dying." " He's-he's not dying." "We are a long way off from that." " I know that this may look bad, but you..." " It should be me." " Hey, Ethie." " It should be me." "Um, why don't we give grandma a little one-on-one time with pop?" "You want to take me for a spin?" "I think that's a great idea." "Go on." "Give her the nickel tour." "All right?" "Can I hold him after he's born?" "Just for a minute." "Uh, he's gonna need to go right into surgery." "Your baby has hypoplastic left heart syndrome and an intact atrial septum that is causing a restriction to blood flow." "He's fine when he's in utero, but once he's out... the condition is fatal." "Which means he won't be getting enough oxygen." "We'll let you hold him when he's stable," " after his surgery." " Okay." "So we'll do the C-section, and then we'll have 60 minutes to get him to the cath lab and perform the operation to open his septum." "And if you don't make it in time, he could die?" "No, we can do the C-section in the cath lab." "It'll give us more time." "Deliver in one room and operate in the other." " Can you do that?" " I don't see why not." "There are about a thousand reasons why not." "You know, people have babies all over the place..." "Taxi cabs, high school bathrooms." "If we don't have to waste time moving the kid from one floor to another, why should we?" "Because you don't do C-sections in cath labs." "Oh, Karev, back me up." "I'm with Peckwell." "Not my name, but okay." "This whole situation is high risk." "If something goes wrong, we don't have the tools on hand to deal with it." "Are your tools glued to the floor?" "Bring them with you." "Okay, we have an opportunity here to do something new and badass." "I mean, don't you want to be the badass who delivers the kid in a cath lab?" "Who does that?" "Nobody... but you." "Okay." "Okay, I'm in." "All right." "Karev, you with Peckwell?" "Myers." "Dr. Jason Myers." "Nobody cares." "Karev?" "All right." "Sounds like one nasty tug-of-war." "It was the height of idiocy, which is saying a lot for my family." "I'm a journalist." " I cover the Sophomore Beat for my school paper." " Mm." "And they chose me to edit the spring supplement this weekend, but my parents told me" "I had to go to this stupid reunion, that it was more important to pretend not to hate people I hate." "And now my hand is ruined and my career is over." "Whoa." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Your hand is going to be just fine." "I will see to that." "Okay?" "And..." "You have lots of time to worry about your career." " Okay?" " Okay." "All right." "So do you have any questions before we start?" "Mm." "Just one." "Someone took my cell phone." "Can I get that back?" "Sure." "Right after the scan." "And I have a follow-up." "What's the C.D.C. doing here?" "Can I help you?" "Okay, we're gonna lie down now." "Good." "All right." "Try to stay still." "Try to stay still." "Thank you." "Okay, beginning with Joyce." "Joyce Basche..." "I placed an A.V. graft for hemodialysis." "Take me through that." "I made an incision over the radial artery and basilic vein..." "I'm sorry." "I'm going to ask you to go back a little further." "Did you scrub?" "Did I scrub?" "For how long did you scrub, roughly?" "4 minutes, 36 seconds, exactly." " You're sure about that?" " I am." "I used "Think," the Aretha Franklin song." "I run it in my head." "It's 2 minutes, 18 seconds." "Hospital protocol is a 4-minute scrub, so I go through it twice." "And the scrub nurse who handed you your instruments... that was?" "Fran." "She was right across from me." "Well, now the graft is in place, and you secure." "I did a standard vascular anastomosis with running prolene." "I checked for leaks." "There were none." "And you closed or Dr. Murphy?" "Wait." "The doppler." "I... confirmed good flow with the doppler." "Then I closed." "And it-it went perfectly." "All right." "Anything else you remember?" "I remember saying, "That went perfectly."" "All right." "Let's move on to Seth Lepik." "I got this." "What the hell's going on?" "These guys won't tell us anything." "Sir..." "I want my son outta here." "I want him transferred to another hospital right now." "I understand." "I'll have to tell you, moving Seth now would put him at greater risk for more complications." "If we're hoping to avoid another surgery..." "You're damn right, we are." "You're not touching my son again." "See what you can do to arrange a transfer." "Hey, Myers set up for the C-section in the cath lab." "We need to run through the steps of the procedure." "Look at you. "Myers."" "You say it like he isn't nailing your girlfriend." "She's not my girlfriend." "Whatever." "You love her." "She's my friend." "You sound stupid when you say that." "She's moving in with the guy." "What am I supposed to do?" "Beat him up." "No." "I'm gonna try to be nice to him and get along so I don't lose my friend." "Or you could punch him and take back your girl." "Hi, Frankie." "Hey, have you found my phone yet?" "Uh, not yet." "So this is Dr. Robbins." "Hi." "She's gonna assist me in surgery." "Now your hand was pretty badly crushed... from the trampling," "So it's gonna mean an extensive surgery to repair these bones here and here and fixate these." "Oh, my god." "It's gonna be okay, though, right?" "I mean, she's gonna be able to, you know, use her hand?" "Oh, that's the goal." "Sweetie, I'm gonna go tell your mom you're gonna be okay." "Okay." " Okay." " It's worse than we thought, honey." "All right, so do you have any questions before we take you up?" " No." " Okay." "Actually, I do have one." "Um, the C.D.C. is investigating Dr. Bailey because several of her patients died, right?" "Uh, um, who told you about Dr. Bailey?" "I asked an orderly." "Oh, shoot." "I mean, I can't reveal my sources." "But you just confirmed it for me," " so you can be my second source." " Oh, no, I didn't." " That's Dr. Robbins?" " Hey!" "What are you doing?" "Checking Bailey's post-ops." "I ought Richard was taking care of Bailey's patients." "Just Seth Lepik, the infected guy." "I took the rest." "Bailey's patients are all turning up with staph." "You're pregnant." "Why take the risk?" "Because I'm looking out for Bailey." "And I'm trying to look out for you." "This is why I need Cristina in the room." "What room?" "The delivery room." "Wait." "What?" "Hey." "Hey, hey, hey." "On-call room, you and me?" "Oh, I wish." "Uh, but I have an atrial septostomy with Karev." "Oh." "But after I save a baby's life, I'm gonna need to celebrate." "Okay." "Well, find me." "Oh." "How, uh, is the grandma?" "Uh, she's sweet, but useless." "Rachel's doing better, though, so at least Ethan's got her." "Mm." "Paul's gonna wake up." "I've been doing serial neuro exams." "I have a good feeling." "Spoken like a true scientist." "Mmm." "Thank you." "Thank you for having a good feeling." "Anytime." "Oh, Mer asked me to be at her birth and watch her poop on a table." "You have to do that." "Can't I just show up after when everyone has control of their bowels?" "Watching a baby be born is like seeing god in person." "Spoken like a true scientist." "I used scissors to shorten the graft to fit." "Took about a centimeter off." "I remember Mr. Lepik had deep vessels." "Um, so I asked Fran for more retraction." "I'm sorry." "Fran?" "You named Linda as your scrub nurse on Mr. Lepik's surgery." "Yes." "Yes, right." "Sorry." "Then I finished the graft, and I closed." "Well, what about the leak?" "According to Mr. Lepik's chart, there was a small leak on the venous side." "Yes." "Lepik." "Yes." "Uh, he had a leak." "Um, and I put in an interrupted stitch." "You remember that?" "Yes, I remember." "I irrigated with antibiotic solution to avoid infection, then I closed." "You closed?" "That's important." "I did." "I closed." "You're sure?" "Because your..." "Did you put the cap on the toothpaste?" "Sorry?" "I assumed you brushed your teeth this morning." "So did you put the cap back on the toothpaste or didn't you?" "Or can you be sure?" "Because when you do a thing every single day..." "Dr. Bailey, we're talking about the lives of two people." "What, you don't think I know that?" "D-don't insult me." "These are my patients who died." "You think I don't know that far, far better than you?" "So again, uh, are you sure you closed?" "Can I take a break, please?" "There's only a little more to, uh... do." "Hey." "Is your interview over?" "We're... on a break." "Wait." "Wait." "Aren't you supposed to be avoiding me like the plague?" "Come on." "What can I do to help?" "Anything?" "I just want to know how Seth Lepik is." "I'd like to see his chart, but they locked me out of the system." "Dr. Grey." "She wants to check on her patients." "What do you think she's gonna do, alter their charts?" "That's what the C.D.C. is gonna think, yes." "Well, maybe you called them too soon." "I am thinking of the bigger picture here." "She's part of that picture." "We need to stand by our doctors." " Even if she's at fault?" "We stand by her then?" " She's not." "But we should cross that bridge when we get to it." "We're kind of at that bridge." " Uh, excuse me, uh, Dr. Avery?" " Yes." "Sorry to bug you, but I was just kind of wondering, is there, uh, any update on my family... or their fingers?" "Mom?" "Mom!" "Somebody help my mom!" "Mom?" " What's wrong?" "What's going on?" " She needs some help." "Uh, ma'am?" " Hey, what's your mom's name?" " Rachel." "Dr. Bailey, step away from the patient, now." "Okay, let's clear the wheelchair and the tables." " I got it." " Make room." "Okay, lay her down." "All right." "All right." "Call a code." " Mom!" " Page Dr. Shepherd, stat." "Yes, doctor." "Okay." "Okay, Amelie, here we go." "Scalpel." "It's gonna be okay, honey." " But what if it's not?" " Shh." "No!" "Stop." "I can't do this." "Not right now." "His heart is okay now." "And you all know that when he comes out, it's going to stop working." " I'm not ready for him to die." " Amelie, honey..." "No." "Look at me." "Look in my eyes." "You have to do this." "Your baby's life depends on it, and you are wasting time." "We're all here." "We're all doing our best to save your baby's life." "Breathe with me." "Okay." "One more time." "One more time." "You can do this." "Right?" "Right." "She's ready." "Just confirm what I have so far." "There's some kind of an infection going on in the hospital linked to Dr. Bailey." "You don't even have to say anything." "You can just nod if I'm close." "Let it go, Woodward." "Who's Woodward?" "Uh, you should know that." "You should give me back my phone." "You're denying my second amendment right." "Wait." "You want a gun now?" "Duh." "First." "I meant first amendment, obviously." "Look, there's this girl named K.K." "who wrote an article about some bird that everyone thought was extinct living in her backyard." "It got picked up by the A.P., and now she's a stringer for the "Times."" "This is a real story." "I mean, I have an opportunity here to be awesome." "Why don't you count backwards from ten?" " Mm-hmm." " Okay?" "Ten..." "Nine..." "You're obstructing the free press." "What's after nine?" "Eight..." " Seven..." " What are we gonna do when she wakes up," "Roll her up in a rug and stick her in the trunk of a car?" "Is he okay?" "Is he alive?" "He's beautiful." "Thank you." "I got him." "Please save my baby!" "Let's move, people." " Coming through!" "Clear the way!" " Shepherd?" "Her pupil's blown." "She's re-hemorrhaged." " I need to get her to an O.R." " What the hell happened?" "I'll let you know when I know." " Okay, let's go." " Check her breath." "I'll see you up there." "Hey." "Hey." "She's gonna be okay." "We've got her and we're gonna take care of you." "Hey, hey." "Room 10-24." "She's gonna take you to your grandma." "Wait for me there." "Come on." "This way." "What is it?" "He's dropped his pressure." "I can't hear breath sounds on the right." "Okay, run fluids wide open." "Get me a chest tube tray, fast." "Right away, doctor." "In the vena cava." " What is the oxygen saturation?" " 35." "Inside the right atrium." "Nobody move." "Nobody breathe." "Oh, Seth." "Oh, dear god." "Chest tube, now." "Hold on." "Perforating the septum." "Why isn't the blood going through?" "Because I'm not through." "Just give me a minute." "Now I'm through." "Man, I'm good." "So my mom's dead?" " Yes." " But Dr. Shepherd said she was getting better this morning." "Yes, but there was something going on in her brain that was... sudden and couldn't be prevented." "There was no way of knowing that this was going to happen." "Mm." "Could it have been the ice cream?" "Like a brain freeze?" "No." "No." "Ethan... there was nothing anyone could have done to have stopped this." "Well..." "I need to go now to my grandma." "She needs someone to hold her hand." "I'm so sorry." "All right, Deedee and Jane's surgeries both went very well." " Ohh." " They'll be in recovery soon." "Cash is still in surgery," "And Dr. Torres is in with Frankie now." "Her fractures were complicated, but hopefully, with therapy, she'll regain full use of her hand." "Therapy?" "How much therapy?" "Well, that's hard to say now, Tony." "But it could be anywhere from six months to a year." "You hear that?" "A year of physical therapy, Al." "And then she might get full use back." "Might." "Well, uh... let's look at the bright side now..." "The bright side?" "Everyone is mangled." "Well, not Frankie." "She got lucky." "She's still got all her digits, tone." "Her hand was crushed!" "I know." "I-I... it's horrible." "I-I know it." "And... and I'm sorry, but, hey, well, well... we're all here for you." "And, uh... that's why we're a family, right... for stuff like this?" "Hey." "Come on, huh?" "Ow!" "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Mr. Keller." " Let me get a look here." " You all right?" "I think I broke my hand." "He's not stabilizing." "He needs surgery immediately." "No, not in this cesspool." "An ambulance is coming for him." "No, he's too unstable to transfer." "I'm canceling all..." "You guys have some infection running rampant." "It's not safe." "It's not the hospital." "It's one doctor." "The infection came from one doctor and one doctor alone." "She's been isolated, and the infection has been contained." "I've been tested." "I'm clean." "The O.R. has been tested." "It's clean." "If we don't go right now, your son's gonna die." "Do what you have to." "Save my son." "You cleared to scrub in?" "Yes, sir." "They cleared me this morning." "Okay, prep him." "So Bailey did do something wrong." "Of course not." "I only said that to get their kid into surgery, and if you repeat it, I'll have your ass fired before you finish talking, you understand?" "Dr. Rizzo to the E.R. Dr. Rizzo to the E.R." "Baby's looking good." "Heart function's hypokinetic but improving." "Yang says that's to be expected." "That Yang's a piece of work." "Yeah." "Well, try living with her." "Listen, man, I appreciate your work today." "I think this thing with Jo got us off on a bad foot." "She cares a lot about you." "We're friends." "That's all." "All right." "All right." "I had a messed-up childhood, too." "I was a foster kid like her." "It was crappy." "But I didn't have it near as bad as Jo did." "I was never homeless, never had to live in my car." "But she's, uh, really turned it around for herself." "And I just, uh..." "I want the best for her, is all." "Yeah, okay." "Yeah." "Thanks for today." "Every year, it keeps on getting harder and harder to plan these things and to get everyone to come." "Why do it?" "Doesn't seem like they appreciate it much." "They're all that I have." "I almost got married a few times, but I always messed it up." "My family is Tony and Jane and Deedee and Cash and... everybody else out there." "And I'm just meant to be, uh... annoying uncle Al." "Well, you'll think of something for next year." "I mean, you just gotta... just gotta keep trying." "Do I have the staph strain?" "I'd like to start again with Seth Lepik, please." "I made a small transverse incision, minimal blood loss." "I deepened the incision into the subcutaneous tissue, asked for retraction." "B.P. was good." "All vitals were good." "B.P.'s 90 over 60 and falling." " More laps." " There you go." " Suction." " You tested me for staph." "Can I get those results, please?" "There was a leak on the venous side?" "There was a leak on the venous side, a-a l-little blood loss." "But very little." "Now just can you get me my results, please?" "Come on." "More." "More." "Pile 'em in." " Yes, doctor." " Look, I gotta try and find it." "Hold on." "More suction." "Just again, I'd like you to take me through..." "Okay, I can take you through my scrub technique and how I hold my instruments." "But the only thing you need to know is do I have this staph infection?" "You should know that by now." "More lap pads." "More." "Okay, more suction." "Right there." "Come on." "Other doctors have been cleared." "So why am I going through this?" "Just go down there and get my results." "You have my results?" "You have my results, and I... have this strain of staph?" "Did I do this?" "I did..." "Didn't I?" "I'll be there in the room..." " When fetus arrives." " You will?" "Yeah." "You're gonna want me there." "Okay." "You're gonna poop on the table, though." "And I'm gonna have to see it, and then I can never unsee it." "You know what's worse than you seeing me poop on the table?" "What?" "Me knowing you've seen me poop on the table." "So you'll suffer more than me." "Yes!" "Oh, okay." "That makes me feel better." " Hey." " Hey." "I'm sorry." "I heard about Paul's wife." "Oh, yeah." "I appreciate that." "Are you angry with me?" "No." "No." "I just, uh..." "I'm angry at the situation." "Okay, well, you know, after this, let's just go home, and then I can make some dinner..." "No, I'm gonna stay." "I'm gonna stay just in case Paul's condition changes or if the kid needs..." "You know, I just..." "I just don't feel like I can leave, you know?" "I mean... what would you do?" "I would go home, because I'm his doctor, not his family." "Yeah." "I'm gonna stay." "Okay." "I understand." "Come to see your boyfriend's miracle baby?" "Why did you tell him that?" "What?" "That I'm a homeless dumpster diver." "I don't tell anyone." "You don't tell people about me." " You told me..." " Yeah, it's called a secret, Alex." "It's what friends tell each other." "Look, what's the deal?" "What did he say?" "Why'd I tell you?" "So stupid." "What is the point of a new start if there's always some dumb-ass dragging you back down?" " Whoa, whoa." "Listen..." " No, you listen." "You don't tell people about me." "You don't talk about me or to me, ever." "Our investigation has determined the presence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus USA600." " Bailey..." " Oh, Dr. Bailey, you should not be here right now." "This is about me." "I'd like to hear it." "That's your call." "We have a protocol for a reason." "Okay, we vote." "She stays." "Staph aureus USA600 is an antibiotic-resistant infection with a range of symptoms from simple skin rashes to fatal sepsis." "We have traced the source of the infection to one doctor." "Dr. Miranda Bailey is a carrier of MRSA USA600." "But the real culprit here is the gloves." "Records show the surgical gloves in use at the time of outbreak, march 15, shipped from the manufacturer" "Hemming Synthetics, incorporated." "We switched to Hemming's gloves when Pegasus was here." "Our testing reveals manufacturing defects." "Microscopic tears in the gloves, which facilitated the transmission of staph USA600 to Dr. Bailey's patients." "It is the C.D.C.'s determination, were it not for the defective gloves, the patients in question would not have been infected." "As for Dr. Bailey, we recommend eradication measures before she can go back to any kind of patient care." " All right." " Thank god." "Best possible outcome." "Here are copies of our report." "The C.D.C. thanks you for your time and cooperion." "And please feel free to call my office if you have any questions." "Thank you." "What's this?" "It's a press release." "We're putting it out in the morning," "Which means you have 12 hours to scoop the "Times"" "or the A.P. or whatever." "Hey." "Be awesome." "Wait." "I have a question." "One." "And I have a follow-up." "Turns out Bailey's not at fault." "Defective gloves." "I heard." "That's great." "Yeah." "You know what?" "I spent my entire day getting treated like the bad guy." "I'm not gonna do this with you anymore." "You want to feel guilty about what we did?" "Go ahead." "Just leave me out of it." "I didn't force you to do anything." "I'm sorry that you're hurt." "Okay?" "I'm sorry that Matthew broke up with you." "As far as us sleeping together," "I'm never gonna be sorry about that." "April?" "Anyway... good night." "I'm sorry." "What?" "No." "No, no." "I-I am sorry." "You-you have nothing to be sorry about." "No, you made a mistake," "And you asked for a do-over." "Well, I made a mistake, too." "I was hurt and I acted like an idiot." "I-I was hoping, um... you could forgive me, that I could have a do-over." "Yes." "It could have happened to any one of us, Bailey." "We'll get you treated, get you cleared..." " I killed two patients." " No." "You didn't know." "You scrubbed properly, you gloved..." "How's Seth Lepik?" "I lost him." "The infection formed an abscess that... eroded into his innominate vein." "I'm so sorry." "Bailey, how can I..." "No!" "Now you want to help me?" "Where were you when my patient was alive, when I could've helped him?" "You shut me out." "You left me." "Bailey, I was trying to protect you." "That's all." " I'm..." " No, no, the hospital." "You were trying to protect the hospital." "It's all that matters to you." "And I don't know why I'm so surprised." "Adele complained about that every time I saw her." "And I protected you." "I-I made excuses to her for you." " I stood by you..." " Bailey..." "No, you were a drunk." "You were operating on your patients drunk, and I stood by you." "I expected the same from you." "I deserved it." "I earned it." "But all you cared about..." "No." "You... are not who I thought you were." "But I am going to be in there." "I know." "You'll be looking into my eyes and holding my hand and feeding me ice chips, and that's just where I want you, just there." " Mm." " Cristina can run interference and handle the bossy nurses, and if I decide I want drugs..." "Fine." "Whatever you want." "Okay." "Or if I poop on the table..." "If you what?" "All that time you spent convincing yourself the sleeping monster wasn't real..." "Yeah." "It was gathering strength." "Oh, crap." "It's you." "The infection was spreading." "What's the matter?" "You were right... about Jo." "Of course I was." "What did I say again?" "Forget it." "Oh, Al-Alex." "I'm such an idiot." "I love her." "What?" "Just..." "You're weird." "Give it a minute." "It's just..." "She just..." "But I always screw myself out of everything good." "I think I'm losing Owen." "What?" "Not today, but... soon." "The monster's awake now." "And there's nothing you can do about it." "Resync for WEB-DL by lost0ne"

"Previously on The Red Road..." "Two armed men stole the truck at gunpoint." "And after what you've been doing comes out, you'll be going to jail." "What is this?" "You guys are looking for a scapegoat?" "Who do you think did that NYU kid?" "You're suffering from schizophrenia." "That is impossible." "DEA got a tip about the guys in the mines." "Whoa, whoa whoa!" "You need to get out of here!" "The DEA is on its way!" "That's the same gun you used to kill Dennis Bradley." "I told you to get free of that." "Yeah?" "It's me." "You bring my money?" "I wanna talk to you about what happened to me in Florida." "Come here." "Turn around-- turn around." "You got somethin' to say, huh?" "Say it-- come on, say it." "I know you're the reason I got sent up." "Yeah?" "Who told you that, Mike?" "Why'd you do it?" "'Cause before you left, I told you who you could and who you couldn't deal with down there, but you didn't listen." "You were biting' the hand, so I gave you up, yeah." "You think anyone would deal with you if they knew you were a rat?" "That's not ratting'." "That's discipline." "I did the world a favor." "You went away, and everything went..." "[Whistles] ...smooth." "Now, you're on the street again." "Surprise-- problems are back." "Yeah." "All you do, is cry cry to daddy." "Next time I see you..." "I want every dollar of what you and Mike made, and then, we're done." "I never wanna see you, again." "You get me?" "Can I have my gun back?" "Last thing I ever give ya." "♪" "♪" "[Telephone ringing]" " Hello?" " Come outside." "Why are you calling me?" "Do you want me to ring the doorbell?" "You better start drivin'." "I have to give you something, first-- it can't wait." "You really wanna go back inside, huh?" "It's for you." "Go, now." "I'm not leavin' until you take it." "♪" "Hey." "Hey." "Jerry insisted I take some money for that drill he broke." "I told him, next time, wait 'til the sun comes up." "It's good to see you running, again." "Goin' for another lap." "I have an appointment." "Turn around, then." "[Speaking in Albanian]" "Holy shit..." "[Speaks Albanian]" "Look at this over-grown Indian." "Whoa!" "[Chuckling]" "Why'd you wanna see me?" "You know my..." "[Speaks Albanian] my uncle, how you say, he told me you saved him from getting killed down in that dungeon, in Florida." "He's kind of old and stupid." "So, I want to see you for myself." "Well, here I am." "Need it on the 5th..." "all 5,000 tablets." "I know." "You do understand we're not very nice people, huh?" "Then, why do you have a picture of Mother Teresa on your wall?" "'Cause she's Albanian, you stupid Indian!" "You know what?" "You should pray to her." "[Cocking gun] Get on your knees." "There's a golf course by Ocean City Airport." "Need to bring the delivery to us there." "Deliver?" "Your uncle said you were gonna pick it up." "It's not a problem, is it?" "No." "Good." "[Speaks Albanian]" "[Birds singing]" "[Police radio chatter]" "Need to make smuggling compartments we can stuff the pills in." "We'll wait until the 5th to load it up." "Then we just drive to Ocean City, and we're done." "Mike comin'?" "Nope." "He freaked after the DEA thing." "Left town for a while." "So, when you took your girl to Jack's, did he hit on her a little bit or a lot?" "No, it was nothin' like that, man." "I'm surprised." "He was always trying to get his hands on the girls I brought home." "He was really messed up on oxy, I think... sayin' crazy stuff." "Yeah, what about?" "You, I guess-- I don't know." "Well, don't keep me in suspense." "He was sayin' you killed someone when you were eight." "I didn't do that on purpose." "We were playin' in the woods by the highway." "Kid's name was Sidney... and we found this medallion from a '76 Hornet." "It's a lousy car, but it had a cool medallion." "And he started fightin' me for it... and we ended up beatin' each other down this hill, and the hill just dropped off, you know?" "Dumped us on some rocks." "Sidney landed funny, and I came down on top of him." "And, when I got up... he was just starin' at the sky." "His neck was turnin' purple." "So, I ran home and told my dad." "I took him out to show him... and he takes a look... and tells me to go home." "So, I do." "I waited up all night for him to come back." "And he shows up in the mornin'... lookin' like..." "I don't know." "He told me, if I ever told anybody, the cops would come and take me away." "He thought I killed him." "He didn't believe me." "How about you?" "What?" "You believe me?" "Yeah." "You're a good brother." "I'm gonna check on the trunk." "[Police radio chatter]" "All right, good work, guys." "Give us a few minutes, all right?" "Yeah, that's Dennis Bradley." "Looks like he drowned, or" "Well, let's take a look here." "Yep, got one..." "maybe two bullet wounds... could be more." "Gun he found was a nine millimeter." "You consistent with that?" "Well, I won't know for sure until we get him back to the coroner's office, but..." "I'd say so." "Nice work." "Ah, let's notify the parents." "Information, how can I help you?" "Hi-- can you check the local listings for Phillip Kopus?" "K-O-P-U-S." "One moment." "I have no listing under that name." "Can I help you with anything else, ma'am?" "No-- thank you." "[Telephone ringing]" " Hello?" " It's me." "Harold, what is it?" "They found the college kid's body." "Someone shot him-- dumped him in the lake." "You okay?" "You want me to come home, I can come home." "No, I'm okay." "Are you-- are you okay?" "Yeah." "It's a good thing." "It's over now." "I'll see you soon, okay?" " I love you." " I love you, too." "Officer." "I wanna thank you." "We can bury him, now." "I'm sorry." " I'm sorry for your loss." " Thank you." "I'm really proud of you-- I want you to know that." "You got us out from under this thing." "Could've gone on forever, and we would've ended up lookin' like a bunch of clowns." "But, I gotta ask ya, because NYPD and the State Police are askin' me... what made you look three miles outside the search radius?" "Remember, that's where they found Brian's body." "I couldn't put that on the report, but that's the reason." "How come you didn't tell anybody you were goin' out there to look?" "Well, I wasn't sure I was gonna find anything." "And you just got lucky?" "Yeah." "All right." "Go home-- get some rest." "'Kay." "Hey." "A little celebratory breakfast." "Wow." "Why-- for what?" "They were talking about you on TV." "We can talk about whatever you want." "Wanna talk about football?" "Who's goin' to the Super Bowl this year?" "Look, all's I did was find somethin' in the woods." "Can't we just have breakfast?" "I don't want you to be afraid of upsetting me." "I just want everyone to tell the truth now." "If there's anything you aren't telling me, just please..." "Sure." "There's nothing." "You ever heard of a kid named Sid?" " Used to live around here." " Mmm-mmm." "Did you take your pills this morning?" "You out?" "I don't want anymore." "You're gonna get caught."

" Breakfast." "Phillip." "I heard Mike's house got raided." "Weren't you stayin' there?" "I wouldn't be stayin' there if it was." "I figured he wasn't good for me to be around, you know?" "I gotta room at The Camford Inn." "I'm just gonna take him to school." "Maybe... maybe you are giving Junior what he needs, maybe not... but just don't let him down." "He doesn't need that." "Yeah." "We're hiking up to the mine later." "We're gonna pack everything up tight." "Get ready to move." "You good?" "Mike called me last night." "Well, if he calls again, you tell him to be careful."

" Go home, now." "We'll talk tomorrow." "All right, everybody-- back to work." "Hello?" "Hi, David-- it's Harold." "What is it, Harold?" "I need to talk to you about something." "Uh-huh." "I fixed her car, David, the bumper." "I switched it out before anybody saw." "You did what?" "I should stress, this is a one-time offer, and it's a very generous one." "It's not an admission of guilt." "There'll be no negotiations." "Once it's done, it's done." "It's the best thing for everyone." "Your son'll be well taken care of." "He can attend a good college."

"Well, let's not pretend we don't know the truth." "It's wrong to pretend that, if we go to trial, we could win." "That's the truth." "The state could still prosecute her." "But that's not likely, is it?" "We take this, nothing's ever gonna change." "Why is it up to us to change things?" "This is about Paul." "Paul will always be taken care of by his people... you know that." "Your blood counts look good." " No problems?" " No." "Maybe" " I mean... um, something happened yesterday." "I saw something." "A hallucination?" "I got up early to go jogging." "It felt good." "And when I was heading back to the house," "I thought I saw Harold out front talking to someone I used to see in high school." "This is the same man you mentioned before?" "The one you said had something to do" " with your brother's death?" " Yes." "But then, Harold said he was just picking something up from our neighbor, so, maybe, I did make it up." "You're already on the maximum dose of clozapine." " We could adjust" " I didn't see him how he was... the man" " I didn't see him how I remember him in high school." "I saw him-- he was... older." "I haven't seen him in nearly 20 years, so, how is that possible?" "Do you wanna see this man?" "Do you want for this to have been real?" "All right." "I wasn't sure they'd take it, but they seem to be having some trouble with their witnesses." "They know they don't have a case." "So, they can't prosecute her?" "That's right." "So now, we can finally get things back the way they're supposed to be." "Yeah." "Yeah, I'll make sure that we do." "Hey." "Hello?" "Hey, I know you're in there." "This is a friendly visit."

"When'd you last talk to him?" "He called me last week... a couple hours after he left here." "Said he was in the bathroom at The High Tide Lobster." "He sounded drunk." "He told me that he loved me." "So, you, um, you know where he might be?" "Hey, you tell me, you might save his life." "He was going into the woods a lot..." "Talked about a mine."

"And there was evidence of sexual assault, a lot of it." "Occupational hazard." "No way to tell if our unsub is responsible for that." "Beating and suffocation." "So, he's a sadist."

"Japanese proverb." "Amanda Lopez has no next of kin and no one reported her missing." "She was an easy target." "The unsub probably hoped for that." "The animals were all killed in a relatively small geographical radius, in a mostly middle-class suburban area." "But Amanda's body was found the other side of town in Miami's skid row." "So he left his comfort zone to kill his first human." "A choice he probably made out of necessity." "It's hard to find easy targets in middle-class residential areas." "He may be young." "Typically you see violence to animals in children and teens." "But the jump to humans is usually made in their mid-20s." "Mm-mmm." "Thomas Dillon started killing at 39." "Joseph Duncan was 43?" "Usually." "Well, either way, this guy's moving fast." "His animal kills were only days apart." "He enjoys it." "And now that he's gotten a taste for humans, he's gonna need another fix soon."

"You know, looking at the offense cluster there's a pretty good chance he could live, right in this area." "Or it could just be his hunting grounds." "I don't know." "I mean, look at where he killed all the animals." "You could walk between each spot, but then he goes way up here to get Amanda Lopez." "There's a... busline that runs straight through both neighborhoods." "And she was killed only a couple of blocks from one of the stops." "All right, so maybe he doesn't have access to a vehicle." "That would give us an abbreviated distance to crime value." "So he starts with dogs in his own neighborhood, then when he works up the courage, he hops on the bus and finds his first human victim." "Garcia's compiling a list of known violent offenders in the area." "Her jaw, orbital bones were fractured in several places." "And he did it with his bare hands." "I wouldn't be surprised if he broke one of them." "See here." "He started the beating with his right and he finished with his left." "No defensive wounds." "He caught her by surprise in a blitz attack." "This took anger and stamina." "He's in shape or on drugs." "Or in shape and on drugs." "The actual cause of death-- suffocation." "So he beats her into submission and then suffocates her with the bag." "We also found alcohol in her system." "She was fairly lit when he killed her." "Well, it helps that she's, what, barely 100 pounds?" "Easier to subdue." "I don't think he was a very big guy himself." "You can tell by the bruising." "He's got small hands." "All that rage." "And even with his animal victims." "He must be getting off on the violence." "So, he's a sexual sadist." "A young, inexperienced one." "He's disorganized, sloppy."

"I know the good doctor's deceptively athletic." "Oh, it's deceptive, all right." "Blake, what did you find out?" "None of the pet owners had much." "Each of their dogs just disappeared from their yard." "But he did get into their yards unnoticed, so that means he stalked them and knew their patterns." "What about the list of juvenile offenders Garcia sent us?" "Local P.D.'s checking out a few names that caught my eye." "Excuse me." "Agent Hotchner, another woman's body was just found." "That was quick." "[Siren]" "Morgan:" "Ok." "I got it." "Her name is Vicky Thomas." "22-year-old prostitute." "Originally out of Daytona Beach." "And she's got a 2-year-old son." "Reid:" "Victimology matches." "Blake:" "So does the plastic bag." "Guys, this is a residential area, not frequented by prostitutes." "Well, he didn't kill her here, he just dumped her." "He didn't beat her either." "She took a blow to the head." "Bite marks." "Pretty rare M.O." "He didn't do that to the other victim." "And look at her." "She's filthy." "He must have rolled her around in all this trash." "Probably a forensic countermeasure used to degrade the crime scene." "And the victim." "Ok, so he beats and suffocates his first victim and just dumps her." "But this one he clocks over the head, bites her, but he covers his tracks." "That's a huge shift in M.O. you think he's evolving?" "Well, that's a pretty rapid evolution." "It might not even be the same guy." "Well, it can't be a copycat." "The story literally just made the news." "Yeah, and what about the plastic bag?" "He used that on both victims." "Yeah, but nothing about the second kill says young or impulsive." "He thought this one through." "Guys, what if we're dealing with a team?" "If there are two of them, they're feeding off each other." "This could turn into a spree real soon." "Hey there." "How you doin'?" "I'm good, baby." "How are you?" "Oh, I had a hard day at work." "I'm just looking for a little fun." "How much?" "Depends on what you want." "I want it all." "200."

"You don't want to make me use this." "Not so tight." "Not so tight." "You want to make this part last." "The trick is you want to give her a good scare." "That way she does whatever you say." "Isn't that right, Shawna?" "You're gonna do whatever we tell you, aren't you?" "Yeah." "[Indistinct police radio]" "Jogger ran by this morning." "Said his dog went crazy." "They're not bothering about hiding the bodies." "Not worried about being connected to their victims." "Arrogant." "What do you we know about her?" "Name is Shawna Radford." "21-year-old prostitute." "Some of my guys have seen her around." "She doesn't trick anywhere near here." "There's no apparent bite marks." "She's got a lot of swelling and bruising." "She obviously took a blow to the forehead." "Looks like it could have been a hammer." "So why do they even need the bag?" "Suffocation's a form of torture." "And they enjoy watching her suffer." "It's also become something of a signature." "In this case, it's part M.O., part ritual." "And this combines elements of the first and second murders." "The first time was violent and sloppy." "No planning, no forensic countermeasures." "Just a lot of rage." "The second murder was more sophisticated." "If this is a team, one of them might be much younger than the other." "Which means the older unsub is probably the more dominant partner." "He's teaching him." "The first kill was committed by the younger unsub." "It was exactly that, his very first." "So he probably did it alone." "So what does that make the second kill?" "A demonstration." "And this one's about perfecting their M.O. together." "When can I take this thing off?" "This is a surprise." "Why do you want to ruin it?" "I--'cause I don't like surprises." "[Chuckles]" "We are... here." "You know, when we started this whole thing, I wasn't sure, I just-- you know, I didn't know if you had it in you." "Thanks a lot?" "Last couple nights," "I mean, you've come a long way." "I'm proud of you, Toby." "I really am." "Go ahead." "Take that thing off." "Ok." "Ta-daa!" "This is your surprise?" "It's graduation day, my man." "Come on." "Based on victim type and kill zone dynamics, we believe that we're looking for two white males, one significantly older than the other." "The younger unsub we believe is an adolescent." "He probably lives in the area, so odds are he's a student at a local high school." "We think the older unsub is in his late 30s to early 40s." "Now, he's sophisticated, so he probably has violent criminal experience." "So you should be looking at ex-cons, and we can't rule out people who've had law enforcement training." "Blake:" "The older one had access to teenagers, but somehow he didn't stick out." "Reid:" "Which means he most likely lives or works near an area where young people congregate." "Like a school, church, or a community center." "Now, he's also charismatic, the type of guy that a teen would easily trust." "Maybe a teacher or a coach." "No." "No, no, no." "It's lightweight, cheap." "It won't last." "Now, this one-- look, it's a little more expensive, but it's worth it." "Reid:" "Much like the D.C. snipers," "John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, this is a mentor/mentee relationship, where the old one is attempting to teach the younger one to become a better killer." "This dynamic is rare, but the symbiotic nature of their mutual desires actually strengthens their affinity for one another." "There's a chance they're related." "We should consider a father and son team, brothers, or possibly an Uncle and nephew." "Rossi:" "But even if there is no biological connection, this relationship has all the hallmarks of their kind of bond." "Hotch:" "The younger one's probably looking for a father figure, trying to fill some emotional void." "No fuss, no muss." "You have your fun and Johnny law's none the wiser." "They prey on prostitutes, so put the word on the street to any of the working girls you may know." "Yeah, I like this one." "Ohh... o ho ho." "That's a $100 titanium framing hammer." "[Sucks in breath] Beautiful... easily traced." "Now, this one, this is your garden variety $5.00 16-ouncer with a steel head." "Sold at a hundred stores everywhere." "This is the one you want." "Hotch:" "And their pace is relentless." "Given their combined appetites and the player-coach dynamic, these two are especially dangerous." "Thank you very much." "All right, let's hit it, people." "Hotch:" "What have you got, Garcia?" "Sir, I am afraid I have come up dry." "A lot of weird stuff happens in South Florida." "I found a few hammer attacks, a shocking number of biting attacks, but only one or the other, no combo platters." "All right, go back another 10 years." "And look nationwide." "Our older unsub must have a criminal past." "That M.O. is too specific to just be popping up this late in his life." "You got it." "Back in a flash." "Hotch:" "All right, thanks, Garcia." "Hey." "I ruled out most of the kids on that offender list, but there is one that I'm having brought in." "His name is Jose Aguilar." "He moved to Miami right around the time the animal murders started." "Kicked out of two schools in Orlando for bullying." "Broke one kid's nose." "Gave the other a concussion." "But that's not why I want to talk to him." "He made a visit to the E.R., right after being attacked by a guy with a hammer." "The kid refused to make an official police report." "Apparently he hates cops." "Keep me posted." "Jose, appreciate you coming in, man." "Like I had a choice." "Why am I here?" "Look, it's all good, all right?" "We just want to ask you a few questions." "I didn't do anything." "I don't know anything." "We done?" "Kid, I get it." "The neighborhood I grew up in, we hated Five-0, too." "Oh, so you can relate." "We're not those kind of cops, man." "Oh, whatever." "I think I can relate." "I doubt that." "Because when you look at me, you jump to a particular set of conclusions." "It's human nature to make assumptions based on appearances." "It's an outdated primal instinct born of our need to quickly assess our surroundings." "Of course, in this modern era, those assumptions tend to be very wrong and... often quite hurtful." "It happens to me a lot, and I bet that happens to you all the time." "I swear I didn't do anything." "We believe you." "We just want to know what you wouldn't tell the cops about the man that attacked you with the hammer." "I don't remember much." "You want to try something interesting?" "This may sound crazy, but close your eyes and concentrate." "I think you'd be surprised to see how much you can remember if you try." "All right." "Do you remember what you were." "doing that day before the attack?" "Just went to school." "What was the weather like?" "[Exhales] Hot." "Hey." "Sorry I'm a little late." "An hour's more than a little." "I said I was sorry." "You've been late almost every day for the past two weeks." "I've been really busy with school and stuff." "I'll do better." "Toby, I have to let you go." "What?" "I warned you a bunch of times about being late." "I" "I'm sorry." "Then there was that thing with the puppies." "That wasn't my fault." "Look, it's my job to manage this place, and I can't do my job if you can't do yours." "Hollie, Hollie, please." "You should go clean out your locker." "Sorry." "And what were you doing just before the attack?" "Walking home from school." "I cut through the park 'cause I had to take a leak." "Then I heard this barking." "[Barking] Then I saw this kid and he was beating on this dog." "It pissed me off." "I like dogs." "Hey!" "So I jumped the kid, started beating his ass, and the dog ran away." "The next thing I know, I get hit in the back with something hard." "Uhh!" "It hurt like a bitch." "I look up and see some dude with a hammer." "He popped me one more time in the arm before I took off." "Did you know the kid who was beating the dog?" "Some white kid." "Never seen him." "He doesn't go to my school." "What about the guy with the hammer?" "He was white, too, but older." "Could you describe him to a sketch artist?" "The older dude-- no, it happened too fast." "But the kid..." "I think so." "[Dogs barking]" "Good night." "See you tomorrow." "Aah!" "So Jose rolls up on the younger unsub while he's doing his thing." "But the older unsub just happens to be there to come to his rescue?" "Or the older one was already there watching." "That attack happened months ago, so they've known each other at least that long." "Why would a grown man in his 40s connect with a teenager?" "Easily explained if they're related." "Or if their relationship is sexual." "Well, if they were related or having sex, there would probably be more of a connection and there might not be such a big disparity in their M.O.s." "The dominant partner might not even allow the submissive to participate in the kill." "If he's mentoring him, maybe it's because he wants to give back or leave some kind of legacy." "Well, like in most cases, the dominant one probably initiated the contact." "You think he sought the younger one out." "That's usually how it goes." "It takes talent to see talent." "When and where they met is gonna be the key." "It's only a matter of time before their partnership dissolves." "In an student/teacher dynamic there comes a day when the student no longer needs the teacher." "♪ I really want to be the man ♪" "♪ I really want to be the man ♪" "[Song continues, screaming and pounding from back]" "[Turns off music]" "[Screaming and pounding]" "[Sobbing]" "Calm down, ok?" "Calm down!" "[Crying]" "All right, hang on a second, I'm gonna put you on speaker." "Go ahead, baby girl." "What you got?" "Ask and you shall receive." "I widened my search, got a hit." "One Rudi Stein." "Had an affinity for hammering and chewing on hookers in New York." "Convicted in '89." "Had a massive stroke right there in the Sing Sing prison yard, died last July." "That M.O. is too similar to what we've seen not to be related." "But the timeline doesn't fit." "Stein got locked up over 20 years ago." "What if the mentor got mentored himself?" "So you think Stein mentored our older unsub?" "Then the unsub learned his skills in prison." "There's a reason they call it Crime U." "If the guy who took the time to mentor him suddenly died, it could have triggered his need to pay it forward." "Garcia, I need everything you've got on Rudi Stein-- cellmates, relatives, known associates, and anything you can find." "Will do." "Stay tuned." "I'm out." "Toby." "What are you doing here, man?" "[Chuckles] Like my new ride?" "What are you talking about?" "You don't even have a driver's license." "Come check out the back." "[Screaming]" "Shut up!" "Remember what I told you." "[Whimpering]" "Nice, huh?" "Just like you showed me." "She'll do whatever I say." "What the hell are you doing, man?" "[Banging on trunk]" "Dude, it's Hollie." " Your boss?" " Yeah." "And you brought her here?" "Yeah." "We can take her out on the boat like the others." "Are you out of your mind?" "You watch the news?" "The FBI's in town." "Bitch fired me today." "How many times have we been over this?" "Never somebody you know and never where you live." "Is this her car?" "Yeah." "Oh, my God!" "Go ahead, Garcia." "Sir, I've got something." "From 2002 to 2006," "Rudi Stein shared a work detail with a David Roy Turner." "He's a Miami resident." "Now, it must have been a match made in heaven, because they remained pen pals after Turner was released." "What was Turner in for?" "He assaulted an underage male prostitute." "So, he has a preference for younger boys." "It explains why he chose a teenage apprentice." "You got an address?" "Uh, yeah, I already sent them." "I got a home and two work addresses." "Turner works as a groundskeeper for the Miami-Dade parks and rec, and he's also a part-time bartender." "Morgan, Blake, and Reid, take the residence." "The rest of us will take the work address." "It's clear!" "Clear." "Clear." "There's nobody here." "[Ring]" "Hi, papi chulo." "What's up?" "Hey, good-lookin', I got David Roy Turner's laptop in front of me." "Can you pull everything off of it?" "In my sleep." "Power it up." "Let's go." "Get her inside." "Where are you going?" "I'm gonna get the boat ready." "It'll be sweet." "Sweet?" "No." "No, no." "Sweet is what you get when you do things right." "Work is what you get when you do things wrong." "And this is all wrong." "Why are you being such a bitch about this?" "'Cause you broke every rule in the book, Toby, and we went over the book." "Now get her inside before you really piss me off." "You at least gonna help me carry her?" "You made your bed, lie in it." "Hey, Morgan, look at this stuff." "Two different closets filled with this stuff, all unopened and unused." "No dog lives here." "I don't see a bowl or a crate or a leash, nothing." "Everything was purchased from Hal's pet shop." "I found these under his bed." "Haven't gone through every one, but they go back to 2006." "Well, that's the year Turner was released from prison." "Could be a habit he picked up inside." "Loves sports." "He's into leisure and travel." "And he is a big fan of murder." "It's not random." "There's individual sections for each case." "It gets better." "This guy was tracking the animal murders." "Yep." "Every one of them." "Hey, guys." "That looks like the boy from the composite sketch." "Whoever the kid is, Turner's obsessed with him." "[Cell phone rings]" "Hey, mama." "Tell me something good." "Well, I cleaned out this nutbag's laptop." "The guy was a torture porn connoisseur." "I mean, the dude makes Rick James seem Amish." "I also looked at his emails and social networks." "He's been in touch a lot with a Toby Whitewood, and by a lot, I mean a couple, 3 times a day for the last year." "Well, what do you got on Whitewood?" "He's a 15-year-old sophomore at McKinley High School." "His parents divorced two years ago." "He lives with his mom Claire." "That's about it." "He's squeaky clean." "Garcia, what about employment or volunteer activities?" "Pause." "He works part-time at Hal's pet shop." "Blake:" "You got a picture of the kid?" "Sent." "[Beeping]" "Garcia, that's him." "You got an address?" "Yep." "Work address has been sent to you." "Home address is actually closer to Hotch." "Thanks." "That explains how he got close to Toby." "Somehow he figured out who was committing the animal murders, he stalked him at his job and eventually earned his trust." "[Muffled cries]" "At least help me get her on the boat?" "No, I'll do it." "You, uh, you clean the car." "Use the supplies in that locker." "And when I say clean, I mean spic and span." "But then we can take her out on the boat." "We are not gonna do anything." "I'm gonna take her out on the boat." "I'm gonna get rid of her." "And you are gonna get rid of that car." "What?" "!" "That's not fair." "She's mine." "No." "No, no, no." "The second you brought her over to my house, she became mine." "Now go." "Did you not hear me?" "[Hollie sobbing]" "You know, you don't tell me what to do." "You're not my father." "No." "Your father bailed on you and your mom 'cause he couldn't deal." "Me, I'm the guy that got you through it." "Don't act like you did me some big favor." "I know exactly what you wanted, perv." "What's that, Tobe?" "You think that I don't see the way you look at me?" "I'm not stupid, you know." "I should have trusted my gut." "You don't have it in you." "You're nothing but a sad little loser." "You're an old ex-con that likes hanging out with kids, and..." "I'm the loser?" "You're wasting my time." "Get out of here." "Come on, pretty girl." "[Whimpering]" "Uhh!" "[Sobbing]" "[Sobbing]" "Claire Whitewood?" "Yes." "We're with the FBI." "We're looking for Toby." "He's not here." "You know where he is?" "I haven't seen him since this morning." "What did he do?" "Yeah, go ahead, Garcia." "What do you got?" "Two things." "One-- David Roy Turner's father Nate, he was a boat mechanic." "He owned a repair shop." "He died 12 years ago, but according to public records, it's still in his name." "Yes, I just sent you the address." "[Beeping]" "Yeah, I got it." "Hang on, guys." "[Siren]" "Blake:" "What was the second thing, Garcia?" "The second thing is, is that the manager at the pet store where Toby works at was just reported missing by her fiance, and her name is Hollie Riggio." "If Toby had anything to do with the girl's disappearance, then his victim preference is changing." "Or the prostitutes were just practice for the girl he really wanted." "[Crying]" "You know, the old guy was right." "Taking my time to see that look in your eyes is worth it." "You see, in here," "I'm the boss." "You know about being the boss, don't you?" "[Sobbing]" "Get away from me!" "No." "No, no." "Hmm?" "Come on." "Come on." "No!" "No!" "No-- stop it." "[Gasping]" "[Choking]" "I taught you everything." "[Choking]" "Oh, I can't-- my God, I can't believe this is happening." "It's like we're cursed or something." "I know this is a lot, and we're here to help you however we can." "Is there anything I can get you?" "3 years ago, Toby and his 17-year-old sister were carjacked." "The assailant took them to a remote location where he repeatedly raped Toby's sister and then bludgeoned her to death." "But he let Toby live." "His mother just told us that Toby confessed to not screaming or running because he actually liked watching." "He said it aroused him." "It was a single-event imprint." "That was his trigger." "Then we're dealing with two psychopaths." "And if they're both at the boathouse location, then neither one of them's going to go quietly." "[Gasping and choking]" "[Sobbing]" "Ahh." "Here." "Oh, please." "It's ok." "Oh, please, just let me go, please." "He's gone now." "It's ok." "It's ok." "He's just a-- he's just a hard-headed little kid." "He didn't know better." "I guess that reflects poorly on me." "Um..." "I don't know." "It's just, uh..." "Ah, ok." "But he did tell me what a bitch you were to him." "[Sobbing]" "And despite what you just saw," "I cared very deeply for that boy." "[Sobbing] No..." "So..." "[Door opens] FBI!" "Drop it!" "David Roy Turner?" "Put the weapon down right now." "I've been to prison." "Aah!" "[Sobbing]" "[Cell phone rings]" "[Ring]" "This is Agent Hotchner." "Yes, what can I do for you?" "Thank you very much." "What is it?" "Dallas P.D. discovered an unidentified male body with the mouth sewn shut." "Like the silencer." "He's dead." "It's obviously a copycat." "Dallas division is into it." "They said they'd keep us in the loop." "Come on, like a half hour or so." "[Indistinct chatter]" "Oh, get outta here." "Hey." "Hey, pretty boy." "You made it." "I like that." "You bring a glove?" "Glove?" "I don't own shorts." "Ok, don't even worry about it, kid." "I got an extra one." "Dyson's wife had her baby last night." "So today is your day to play second base." " Wait, what?" " Uh-huh." " I can't play second base." " Oh, yes, you can." "You're gonna." "No such thing as can't, kid." "Go, team!" "What are you guys doing here?" "Oh, we were not gonna miss this for the world." " Great day for it." " Awesome." "So the Secret Service, huh?" "Yeah, yeah." "We haven't beat these chumps in 5 years." "They've got nothing to do but practice." "And party." "Ah, there he is." "Let's go, baby." "[Cheering]" "[Louder cheering]" "You can do it!" "Come on, Spence!" "Just swing it!" "Strike one!" "Strike two!" "Strike 3!" "[All shouting]" "Let's go, kid, come on." "[Whistling]" "[Cheering]" "You can do it!" "You can do it!" "You can do this!" "Hey, this guy can't hit." "Bring it in." "Time-out." "Time-out." "Time-out." "Here you go." "Come on." "Listen to me, kid." "Look at me." "It is the bottom of the ninth." "There's two outs." "And we are losing by one run." "Ok?" "You are the guy, Reid." " No, I'm not." " Yes." "All you have to do is get it over their heads, and I will score, and then you run like hell." "I've been doing the calculations." "Force equals" "Reid, stop." "Stop." "Get out of your head." "All the physics in the world will not work unless you just let it flow." "I don't know if I can." "You remember all those unpleasant childhood sports memories?" "Ok, right now, you can erase them, all of it for good." "Kid, stop thinking." "Just feel it." "Ok." "You got this." "You got it?" "You got this." "Let's go." "[Applause]" "[Indistinct chatter]" "Drive 'em in, baby!" "He's the man." "He's the man." "Strike one!" "Attaboy." "Attaboy." "Whoo!" "You gotta believe it." "You can drive 'em in." "Come on, you can drive 'em in, baby." "Strike two!" "This guy's got nothin'." "[Cheering]" "Run!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "[Cheering]" "Yes!" "Yes!" "[Cheering]" "[Shouting]" "Safe!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "You did it!" "You did it!" "You did it!" "Whoo!" "Reid: "The greatest good you can do for another" ""is not just to share your own riches, but to reveal to him his own."" "Benjamin Disraeli." "[Camera clicking]" "== sync, corrected by elderman =="
