He 's no longer asking for joint custody . ( Sighs ) Now he wants sole custody . Divya ! Raj ? Oh ... - ( Laughing ) : Oh , my gosh . - Ah . So what did your lawyer say ? She 's working on a visitation plan for Rafa , visitation on U.S . soil only . I 've got a brilliant divorce attorney , - if you need a second opinion . - Raj , I am so sorry it did n't work out . I am purchasing Hamptons Heritage . I would like all of you to serve on the hospital 's board of directors . ? ? ? ? - You ready ? - I am .

What the hell happened ? He was trying to talk his way into the motorcade , which is why it crashed into the basketball court . Really , Evan ? Again ? Why am I always cleaning up your messes ? Keep pumping , babe . Oh , my God , such a beautiful ring . Charlotte ! Charlotte ? Charlotte ! Charlotte ! Charlotte ! ( Gasps ) - Mm . - What 's wrong ? Oh . Uh ... I just , uh ... I just had a really weird nightmare . Aww . About what ? Um ... The ER and , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resolved all that . Yeah , I thought so too , but ... I do n't know , maybe I 'm more annoyed than I thought . What are you annoyed about ? ( Chuckles ) About the fact that Boris called for a board meeting for tomorrow . ( Chuckles ) I want to be with you on your last day in town . All day . And I want it to be ... perfect . It will be , as long as I get my eight hours of sleep , or else you 'll have a real nightmare on your hands . ( Laughs ) - Okay ? - Okay . ? ? Do n't worry , the administrator here is insanely efficient . Like , Boris does n't even come to the meetings anymore . So it 'll be , like , an hour , tops . Great . Why are you so pressed for time , anyway ? I want to spend every last second I can with Charlotte before she leaves . Oh , my God , she 'll be back , and you 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very sweet and totally nauseating . Hey , hey , uh ... I 'm sorry you and I have n't hung out much lately , which is why I have n't had a chance to tell you something important . Can we talk if and when this meeting ever ends ? I can save you the time , Hank . I did n't forget what we talked about when you joined the board , okay ? We will watch each other 's backs , and I will make sure you do n't get pulled any deeper into this commitment . - Thank you , Evan . - Yeah . Means a lot to hear you say that . Really , but that 's not at all what I wanted to talk to you about . Hmm . - Hey ! - Hey . How was the new lawyer ? I wish she was n't necessary . I wish that Rafa and I had been able to work it out when he was here last week , but the custody battle for Sashi is now in very capable hands . Very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't think of a better way to spend your money . Agreed . Where 's Jeremiah ? He had to go to Philadelphia to interview research candidates for the lab , but he gave me his proxy . Why do n't I get his proxy ? Why would he give you his proxy ? - Because he and I are ... - Both doctors ? Highly intelligent ? You know what , enjoy your voting power , Divya . Just do n't you dare use it against me . Boris , you 're here . Indeed , and I suggest we begin . There 's much to discuss . So the first order of business is to name an interim replacement for the hospital administrator . What ? Yeah , what happened to the one we have ? Had . He quit . Something about an opportunity closer to home . Huh ... he seemed so committed to the job . We need someone reliable who is familiar with the inner workings of the hospital , someone ... trustworthy . - Mr . Lawson ? - Boris , before you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Are you up to the challenge , Evan ? Yes . Yes , I am . You are ? I am sensitive to spreading HankMed too thinly . No , no , we can handle it . We 're HankMed . Congratulations , then . Ev , I 'm really proud of you . Seriously , Boris is not an easy guy to impress . Thanks , Hank . It means a lot hearing you say that . Really . Whoever would have thought I 'd end up with Jill 's job ? Just try not to fall for me , okay ? - That would be really weird . - Okay , I 'll try . It 'll be hard . - Hey , can we , uh ... - What ? Have that chat now ? Yeah , sure . Yeah , just step into my interim hospital administration office , which is probably , uh , where do you think that is ? I think it 's that one . It 's nice .

Mm , no , that one would stump even Freud . - Yeah . - ( Chuckles ) Seriously , I ... I have cherished every single day we 've shared . Even that very rough week we spent in the hills overlooking Monaco . Yeah , we have survived a lot together . Yes , we have . Charlotte , I wanted to , um ... Thank you . For opening me up to feelings I have n't had in a very long time . For ... making me look forward to something beyond just the start of summer . And , well , I 'd like to make that feeling last . For good . Charlotte ... will you marry me ? Um ... Hank ... Oh . You did what ? You think it was a bad idea ? I think remaking The Karate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waited 25 years . What you did was ... crazy and impulsive . I misread her . I misread us , and I blew it . Well , for good ? We had a brutally awkward ride to JFK . And when we said good-bye , I could just ... I could just tell . This time , she is n't coming back . What makes you so sure ? She said she 'd just gotten her vision back , she was traveling nonstop to expand her business , and , get this , we had n't been seeing each other that long anyway . She 'd been seeing you even less . - Sorry . - Everything felt so good , Ev . And ... and somehow I just ... I made it all go bad . Well , look on the bright side . You 've been consumed by this relationship , Henry . Like , consumed . Now you have time to catch up on all the things you 've been neglecting . - Yeah . - Yeah . Like what ? Like ... Me . - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh , my God , that 's awesome , babe ! " Mozel Tav " ! Close enough . Not really . We can pick up the keys right now . The keys to our new house . Congrats , guys . Owning your first home together is a huge milestone . Would you give us one second ? We were just having a conversation . No , it 's okay , Ev . I 'm good . We 'll talk later . Go pick up the keys . " Mozel Tav . " - Okay , come on . - All right . ( @phone_vibrates ) Hi , Ms . Newberg . My favorite first responders . So good to see you . Please . ( Hank ) : Thank you . Oh , what 's this ? ( Newberg ) : The next episode of 52 Parties . - No way , I love that show . - How many what now ? What show ? What are we talking about ? It 's ... it 's a new reality show on Bravo . And a big , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . There 's Aubrey Wolfhouse . She 's the anti-Martha Stewart . It 's not about making it perfect . It 's about knowing it wo n't be . ( Both ) : The party must go on . - ( Chuckles ) - Okay . Well , how did you get her to film here ? Well , let 's just say Andy Cohen owes me a favor . Aubrey is helping me throw a welcome party for my new neighbor , Muggsy . His name is Muggsy ? Did he move here from the 1920s underworld ? Apparently , he 's very sweet . That 's all I know . That and the fact that he gave me and Aubrey a great excuse for a party . ( Becki ) : Let 's go in tight on the trimming . Here comes our Emmy . What exactly is wrong with her ? She looks pretty healthy to me . Well , I did n't call you about her . Oh , you look very healthy too , Ms . Newberg . I feel healthy . Vigorous , even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your dad upstate during his book tour . I have a feeling I 'm not gon na want to hear too much more about it . Our time together is so special . Exhausting , really , if you know what I mean . We do , we do . But when I got back home , I realized there was pink in my tink . Huh . Blood in your urine . Ahh . Yes , um , any pain ? Well , I am a little sore . I was up there for three days , and nobody goes to Buffalo for the sightseeing , if you know what I ... Yes , we know exactly what you mean . Ms . Newberg , it 's probably a bladder infection . We 'll get a urine sample and prescribe you some antibiotics . ( Screams ) And this is why you should wear gardening gloves when you do this . You pricked yourself with a thorn ? I trimmed myself with the shears . Can we get a first aid kit outside ? I can do you one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Um , I 'm a doctor . Can I take a look ? Okay . Not too bad . ( Paige ) : Okay . Ahh . Okay , put me down , so I can go run around . ( Squeals ) Do you believe this place is actually ours ? Uh , financially , the evidence is pretty convincing , so yeah . Babe , do n't rain on this . I 'm not , I 'm not ... I 'm sorry , I am not . I ... it is amazing . It 's truly amazing . - Is n't it perfect ? - And it 's ours . - This is our house . - I know . - I mean , look at our floors . - Look at our fireplace ! Look at ... oh , my God , loot at our wet bar ! Yeah , that wet bar is going straight to wet bar heaven . I thought I 'd slip that one through while you were excited . Aside from that , this place needs so little work . Can I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in such an unexpectedly pleasant mood ? Unexpectedly ? Hmm ? You know , ' cause of the ... ' cause of the , uh ... time of the month ? I actually have an app . What kind of app ? It 's , you know , it 's just ... just tracks your , uh , cycles . It does what ? It 's called Red Dragon . ( Chuckles ) Evan , I just ... realized I 'm late . You mean the dragon 's still in the castle ? Yeah , and I 'm never late . You 're saying you could be ... I mean , we could be ... I do n't know . Probably not . I mean , we ca n't be . Technically , we could be . Right , but what I 'm saying is that we just ca n't be . Yeah , ' cause that would be crazy . Yeah . But I think we should go buy a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side . Mm-hmm , mm-hmm . - Oh , right now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can do that with your phone too . I think that would probably void the warranty . ? ? Are ... are you sure you want this on camera ? Mm-hmm . Oh , I have had a lot more mishaps than usual lately . Fortunately , it 's all very on-brand . - Huh ? - Welcome to reality TV . Thanks for being game . Welcome to medicine in the Hamptons . ( Laughs ) You know , you are super telegenic with that killer smile and hair that could lift a car . Just curious , are you single ? Uh , I do n't want to bore your viewers with my personal life . - Hmm . - So why 52 Parties ? ( Whispers ) : I did have a much cooler name , but the network made me change it . No , I meant the number , not the name . Ah , well , hosting is nerve-racking . Even just a dinner party or having a few friends over for some binge watching ... bringing people into your home , you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I never looked at it that way . Do you host a lot of parties ? Do staff meetings count ? ( Laughs ) So you plan all week , wanting everything to be perfect , but inevitably , something will go wrong , and some people hit those hurdles and they give up . They think they 're not cut out for it , but you got ta make the mistakes part of the fun . The party must go on . And you go right into the next party and then the one after that ... And then 49 more . Have one very fun year . And one very clever TV show . Aw . Although I 'm not sure overcoming life 's hurdles is that easy . Well , about 1.2 million 18- to 49-year-olds want to believe that it is . All right , sounds like you got a hit on your hands . I was just as surprised as anyone . Of course , now the pressure is on to deliver big for season two . Huh . What ? No , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more accidents than usual lately ... the nerves . - Huh . - Look what I 've got . And there 's plenty more where this came from . Please tell me that 's not your sample . Oh , no , no . I 've got that . No , this is the greatest ros ? in the world . Want some ? No . Bye , Divs ! Hank , thanks so much again for coming so quickly . My pleasure , every single time . Now , I 'm going to insist that you charge me this time , at least until your father makes an honest woman out of me , so we are officially family . Sorry , no deal . Well , then , you and Charlotte must come to my welcome party , so I can spoil you both with champagne , caviar , and a TV camera in your face . Uh , I do n't think that 'll be possible , but I 'll see if Divya 's available . She 's a big fan of Aubrey . What happened with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my share of breakups , and even though I stopped counting separations and divorces when I hit double digits , it did n't mean it stopped hurting . They always hurt . Every single time . So then ... fess up . Things between Charlotte and me ended last night . - Ohh , Hank . - Oh , look ! I have my next patient now , but thank you so much for your concern , Ms . Newberg . You are the best . You know what , let 's do another . Just to be sure , yeah ? That was another . That was the third another . Evan , we 're sure . Hmm . Do n't you have a meeting at the hospital ? Yeah , but I also ... I also have this . And , obviously , this is big news . Big . But you still have your job . Your big , new , very important job . Right . ( Sighs ) ( Exhales ) We 're not ready , uh , at all . We are not ready @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't have a car seat . We do n't have a crib . I do n't even know anything about any of that stuff . We 're gon na have to read a lot of books . And the house is n't ready . And what about you , should n't you be eating kale ? Or vomiting or both ? I 'm pregnant , not bulimic . Well ... what do we do ? Hey , I 'm freaking out too , believe me . Let 's at least try to freak out together , okay ? ( Sighs ) I 'm gon na postpone my meeting , ' cause I can do that when I 'm the one in charge . I appreciate that . The good news is , we 've got nine months to adjust to this . So let 's just take some time to process it . Okay . ( @knock_at_door ) Yeah . So this is really your office ? You find it lacking in some manner ? No , no . Just does n't seem ... Boris-y . I assume you 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chuckles ) I 'll admit it 's unconventional , but I know Evan will do a great job . No , I 'm here to follow up on your dizzy spell during the meeting . Yes , that would have been my next guess . Any other episodes lately ? Perhaps one or two . Okay , I 'd like to do a neuro exam . I imagine you would . Wait . Ahh , now there 's the Boris I know and love . You may proceed . Okay . Um , follow my finger with your eyes . Good ... stand with your feet together , eyes closed . Palms up . Okay , good . I want to remind you that your clinical trial is only designed ... To stave off symptoms , yes . I recall all the tedious fine print , Hank . Okay , look straight ahead . The treatment only works if you 're rested and otherwise healthy . Now I know this acquisition of the hospital is a major undertaking ... I am not overworking , Hank . You 're personally handling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bit hands-on for you . Boris , is there more to this acquisition than you 're letting on ? You must n't be so suspicious . Says the man with opaque windows . With Evan at the helm now , I can afford to step back , knowing that things will run smoothly . Are we done ? Yeah . Sure . - Thank you . - Yep . ? So hush , little baby , do n't you cry ? ? Daddy loves you ? ? And so do I ? ( Whispers ) : I love you , Sashi . Did Nate take the twins to the park ? He did . Is your next patient still at 2:30 ? Mm-hmm . So what you 're saying is , we have lunch hour all to ourselves again . No kids , no patients . Actual privacy . It seems I have my answer . ? ? Okay , well , the antibiotics may need more time to help , but I do n't see anything else more concerning . Well , at least I 'm not in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ms . Newberg , I am fine , I promise . Oh , Hanky-poo ... my brilliant , brilliant , poor boy . Okay . You can put on a brave face , but I know you . You are too sensitive to be so fine so soon . It 's okay to be hurting . Luckily , I can distract myself with work , like this exam , which would be a lot easier if you would just relax and stop trying to console me , Ms . Newberg . Denial is not your friend , Hank . You have to wallow . Wallowing is a must . You can not just doctor your way around the wallow . Try it . What did you find in the ultrasound ? The ultrasound 's clean . I 'm sad for Hank , not me . - Why for Hank ? - Ms . Newberg , please . Because Charlotte broke his heart . Tell her , Hank . I realized what was missing from our signature cocktail ... ginger . Wait till you taste it now , Ms . Newberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drink ? Beets and gin . Simple and sublime . Ms . Newberg , have you been tasting many of those ? Beets are so healthy , and they make the cocktail so colorful . Yeah , they make other things colorful too . Ms . Newberg , I think we 've diagnosed your ailment . The pink in your tink is from your drink . Huh . Do we need to send you to penmanship camp ? My handwriting 's still not big enough ? It 's actually worse than before . How can your handwriting be getting smaller and smaller ? It ca n't . That 's impossible . Aubrey , have you had any other recent injuries ? Just the usual cuts and scrapes . Comes with the territory . You did mention that you 've been clumsier than usual lately . I have had a few more accidents . Aubrey , when you cut yourself earlier , do you think it was because your hand was shaking ? I 'm not sure . Well , there 's an easy way to find out . Oh , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and focus in on that hand ? You got it . ( Divya ) : Look , her fingers . - Pill-rolling tremor . - Mm-hmm . What does that mean ? Maybe nothing , but we should do a couple of tests just to make sure . So I was thinking either , A , there 's electric ... Hello , Ms . Lawson . Hi . Uh , I 'm just about to step into a meeting . What 's going on ? Um , the news we got this morning ? Yeah ? It 's not news anymore . Meaning it 's old news now , or it was inaccurately news , or ... Evan , this would be where you tell me you need a moment with your wife . - Thank you , Boris . - Right , yeah , I ... Think I ... yeah . I 'll just ... I 'll meet you in there . I got my period . False alarm . Do you feel okay ? Yeah , I 'm gon na make an appointment with the ob-gyn just to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) Wow , um , what a relief , right ? Oh , totally . Yeah , I-I freaked out all morning . I poured cream over my pancakes in the staff lounge . ? ? Um , I really have to go do this meeting right now . Yeah , yeah , we 'll still catch up tonight . I just thought maybe you 'd like to have the news right away . - I love you . - I love you . - Okay , I 'll see you tonight . - Okay . Bye . Uh , okay , um , I 'll send this to radiology to rule out any thromboembolic events or hydrocephalus , but your CT looks normal . That 's a relief . I 'll also draw blood to rule out vitamin deficiencies or any infection that could explain your tremors . Okay . Is that it ? For now , yeah , but we 'll have to take this one step at a time . Okay . Uh , by the way , since it seems like we 'll be getting to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you should know that I was n't flirting with you earlier . Oh , that 's okay . I was feeling you out for Becki . - Becki ? - Mm-hmm . Your producer , Becki ? She thinks you 're hot . In case you did n't notice her checking you out . Yeah , no , I-I did n't notice that . You should get in there , Hank . She 's a lot of fun , she has a place out here , and she 's weirdly down to earth for someone who works in TV . Uh , listen , that 's flattering . It 's just really bad timing for me . Totally get it . I am sorry for overstepping . No , not at all . And , look , I appreciate that your " get right back on the horse " philosophy is n't limited to hosting parties . I just ... I need a little more time . Of course , whatever works for you . Thank you . Oh , but I did already send you her number , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Laughs ) Huh , ' kay . ? ? - Hey . - Hey . Thinking about Charlotte ? ( Sighs ) - Actually , no . - It 's okay . If ... if you do n't want to talk about it , I-I totally understand . And if you do n't feel like partying either , I could check up on Aubrey . We ca n't do anything anyway until her blood work comes back . Aubrey 's blood work is back . It did n't pick up anything . It 's very unusual in someone your age , and it 's a diagnosis of exclusion . That means we arrive at it by eliminating all other possible causes . Okay . But given your test results and the distinctive tremor in your hand , Aubrey , it seems likely that you 're in the early stages of Parkinson 's disease . What ? I do n't un ... ( Solemnmusic ) ? ? Hello from the Hamptons , and welcome to another episode of 52 Parties , guest starring me . Aubrey helped me plan this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ welcome party 's being filmed ? Well , technically , dear , it 's my welcome party . Are you nervous ? Have you never performed on TV before ? Well , actually , I played 14 years in the NBA . Ohh , you 're sweet and funny ! Well , you will be a very welcome edition to the neighborhood , Muggsy . Well , thank you . Oh , hi . Good to see you . ( Both ) : Hey . - Any luck ? - No , but her car is in the driveway . Okay , I 'll check with Newberg again . Okay , good . ( Popmusic ) ? ? Hey , Hank . Have you seen Aubrey ? I was just gon na ask you the same thing . Any idea where she could be ? No . She likes to run around trying to find new blooper possibilities . Speaking of , I know Aubrey gave you my number , but I just want to say there 's totally no pressure . Oh , okay , thank you . Thank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I literally just got out of a ... Oh . There 's Aubrey . Um , how about I talk to her , then you talk to her ? Then you and I finish talking to each other ? - Sounds good . - I 'll see you later . ? ? Hey . You must be feeling pretty overwhelmed right now . I am . That 's completely normal . Anything I can help clarify ? To be honest , I did n't hear much after the word " Parkinson 's . " And that 's normal too . So how about we start from scratch ? I 'd appreciate that . Okay . Parkinson 's is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement . And there is no cure ? ( Softmusic ) Not yet . Not yet . But there are medications that can help manage the symptoms , and new treatments are being made available as we speak . Like what ? Like deep brain stimulation , stem cell therapy , clinical trials . I 'm not sure why I asked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means anyways . Listen , I 'll find you a great specialist and help in any other way I can . We 'll navigate this together . It just sucks that I have to quit the show . I barely started it . You do n't have to quit . We do n't know how your symptoms will progress . Maybe you could just take it one party at a time . I do n't think America wants to watch me shaking and trembling . It 's not why they tune into my show . Overcoming obstacles with a positive attitude . That 's why America tunes into your show . Right ? Yeah . ( Popmusic ) ? ? I have to say , that Aubrey is pretty impressive . - Inspiring , even . - No question . And it looks like your pep talk got her back on her feet again . I think she would have gotten there on her own . That determination is just part of who she is . And she reminded me that it 's a part of who I am too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , exactly ? I really thought Charlotte and I were ready to move forward , and when I found out she disagreed , I was crushed . But I realize now , she was right . Charlotte was n't the right person for me , because we were in such completely different places in our lives . She was discovering the world all over again , and I was ready to be in love , you know , ready to settle down . So I jumped in , both feet , with the first person I really liked . Sounds like you felt your biological clock ticking . And that is definitely not the right way to find the right person . But Charlotte helped me realize that I 'm ready to find that right person , whoever she is . I mean , the party must go on , right ? Does this mean you 'll be going on 52 dates then ? ( Sighs ) - If that 's what it takes . - Hmm . ( @glasses_clinking ) ? ? We 're christening the chimney now ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And why wait till the next polar vortex to find out it does n't work , right ? What 's wrong ? ( Sighs ) To be honest , um ... I 'm having mixed feelings about our false alarm . I mean , I think about what we could be celebrating right now and ... And you feel disappointed ? Yeah . Does n't sound so mixed . And to be honest , I 've been having similar not-so-mixed feelings . Like when I went into the hospital for that meeting , I ... I could n't concentrate on anything , I was just ... I was flat-out sad . ( Chuckles ) So are you saying ... I mean , I 'm ... I did n't even know it until ... until we were having one and then we were n't , but ... I want a baby . I want a baby too . I really want a baby . Okay , do n't get competitive . ( Laughs ) ( Laughing ) : Oh , my God . So what do you say we take this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it even more perfect ? Oh , I am totally down for that . And then this place will be heaven . ( Thud ) What the hell was that ? Mm , okay , do n't freak out , but that was a snake . What ? No . ( Screams ) - Hey , hey ! - Oh , my God ! Oh , my God ! I thought we agreed you were n't gon na freak out . You were calmer when you thought I was pregnant . Why is there a snake in our house ? Um , I do n't know . Probably when you started the fire , he was like , uh , there 's a fire in here , I 'm out . Can you stop being such a sympathizer , please ? This is a home invasion . There 's a snake in our house ! On the count of three , we 're gon na walk calmly upstairs and call for help . - Okay . - Ready ? One ... ( Whimpers ) Two , three . All right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I 'm out ... hey , what 's going on ? We 're so sorry to intrude , but could we spend the night ? We 're having a problem at our new place . Uh , yeah , I guess you can . What kind of problem ? Multiple problems . Long , slimy , slithering problems , falling from our chimney ... our chimney , Henry . Nothing is sacred to these demons . Oh , are you expecting company ? Uh , I am , actually . Yeah , I am expecting company . Oh . Wha ... already ? Is n't rushing into things what got you into this situation in the first place ? I 'm not rushing into anything . It 's dinner , that 's it . I 'm having dinner tonight anyway . Why not have it with company instead of alone ? I 'm moving forward at some point . Why not start right now ? - Just do n't ... - Do n't worry . I wo n't propose . ? ? ( Bicyclebellrings ) So are the kids @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their grandparents . As am I . Can you believe I slept till 7:00 a.m . today ? ( Laughs ) : Well , enjoy every second of it . I hope you have good news by the time I return . Yeah , I 'm at my lawyer 's office now to drop off the custody agreements . Good luck . Talk to you later . Okay , bye . Be right back , Bunny . ( Grunts ) Hey , Sashi . Somebody needs Mama 's help . I 'll be right back , okay ? I love you . ( Caralertchirps ) ( Groans ) Sir , I 'm a physician assistant . I 'm gon na take a look at your head wound , okay ? ( Choking ) Okay , you 're choking on something , and I 'm gon na get it out . Come on . I 'll need to dislodge it manually . ( @dramatic_music ) ? ? Bubble gum . ( Gasps , coughs ) Sir ? Sir , can you tell me your name ? - Joey . - Joey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bumped your head pretty hard . You 'll need a work-up at the hospital to check for a concussion or any other head injuries . Yes , hi , this is Divya Katdare . I am outside South Fork Historical Society . I 'm with a male in respiratory distress . I need an ambulance straightaway . Thank you . I 'll be right back . Excuse me . Excuse me . Excuse me , what ... Hey , what are you guys doing ? That is my daughter . Then you must be the one who endangered her health and broke the law by leaving her unattended in your vehicle . What ? No . I 'm gon na need to see some ID . - Okay . Okay . - ( Sashicrying ) Ugh , look . I ... I 'm a physician assistant , and I was responding to an emergency right over there ... Damn it , I told him to stay there . He ... Hey !

As you know , detectives profiled in this program have solved 99 cases in a row - - a perfect record achieved with only a minimal amount of altered facts , network-funded bribery and threats of bodily harm to friends and families of the suspects . Tonight , then , we attempt to solve our 100th case in a row . Unfortunately , a detectives ' strike is sweeping the nation and we 've been able to find only one detective who was seduced enough by the potential notoriety to scab . DUCKMAN : Fluffy , Uranus , where the ( bleep ) is my coffee ? Do n't you ( bleep ) realize I want my ( bleep ) coffee first thing every ( bleep ) morning . If I do n't ( bleep ) get it now I 'm going to kick your furry little ( bleep ) out of here , so give me the ( bleep ) coffee ! Oh . Heh-heh . ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , look , now that you 're here , I want you people to know I 'm just a little bit tweaked that it took you so long to get to me . I mean , I should 've been the first show , not the hundredth ! I 'm telling you , I do n't need this kind of treatment from some cheap , jump-on-the-reality-show bandwagon schlockumentary . Not that it 's changed my opinion of your fine program one iota . I 'm proud to be part of your uncompromising quest for truth and justice . Did I ever tell you how much I admired the episode where you rigged the dump truck to explode when the kid 's bicycle hit it , so the detective could arrest the manufacturer ? ( laughs ) So , shall we get on with the myth-making ? This is my camera-shy , much less experienced and generally easy-to-ignore partner , Cornfed . Hi , Mom . Hop off the curly-cue , carnie . You and me are heading out to solve American Dicks ' 100th case . ( whispering ) : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should wait till we actually have a case . Not to worry . Only a matter of time before the big ones start pouring in . ( @intercom_buzzes ) As promised . URANUS : Mr . Duckman , your carton of itch-away rectal cream just arrived and your test results are here . The doctor has n't identified your lesions but he 's ruled out cold sores . Before I met Duckman , I was at a crossroads , soul-searching , looking for my place in this endless puzzle we call life . You ever wake up in a Cambodian gaming parlor and realize you were living in a dark , dank abyss of emptiness and loneliness , then wander the mountains of Asia for two years until you became the chef in a Tibetan monastery ? I just asked what kind of detective Duckman is . Oh . I have some clothes in the dryer . ( snoring ) Wake up , Mr . Cameraman . What ? What ? What ? What ? What ? What ? FLUFFY AND URANUS : Mr . Duckman ! Wake up , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? I brought you the hand towel , did n't I ? Ow ! Wha-what ? Right . Amazing how fast two days of waiting for a case can go by . URANUS : Mr . Duckman , you 've got a case on line one . A case ? ! Me ? ! I mean , of course I have a case . Why would n't I have a case ? ( laughing ) I 'm just surprised by the way he said it . Here , let me get that for you . ( Fluffygiggles , thenscreams ) Duckman Investigations - - what can I do for you ? Solve a murder ? Track down an international terrorist ? Recover millions of dollars worth of stolen jewelry ? FEMALE : I need you to get my cat down from a tree . I live at Fourth and Elm . Fourth and Elm . Got it ! We got a 405 , Corny . Code Red ! Now , this may seem like a simple case , but with your feline search-and-rescue missions any number of things can go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ University of the Streets , and by streets , I mean , mean streets . Oops , I forgot the rubber mouse and ball of string . Fluffy , Uranus , hold my calls . I 'm about to become the most famous detective in town by solving ... Ah , you 're sweet . Sweetest , little , ooh . ( catpurring ) What 's that ? Oh , it 's a kitty cat , we found on our way to work . At Fourth and Elm . Uh ... Does that count ? How is he as a father ? Ha ! Last week he converted the twins ' stock dividends into singles , and blew the whole thing at that Live Nude Amazons bar by the airport . ( whirs ) I knew that ( bleep ) did n't quit smoking . You know how tough it is raising kids with a role model like that feathered weasel ? Well , the women out there know what I mean . Actually , our audience is mostly men between the ages of 20 and 55 . Really ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the man of the house and that deadbeat brother-in-law of mine will be out on his butt . Oh , did I mention I 'm a gourmet cook , and I 'm about to have more than half my visible cellulite surgically removed . ( moaning ) Heh-heh-heh . Sinus itch . So , uh , while we 're here perhaps a lesson or two . One thing that separates the great detectives from the slouches is the ability to recognize an opportunity . You 've got to help me . My husband , Mayor Whitman , has disappeared . Yeah , right , right . A man needs a break once in a while . Huh ? Maybe there 's a marriage counselor in the Yellow Pages . Eh , where was I ? ( Mrs.Whitmangrunts ) Ah , yes . Sizing up an opportunity and seeing it for what it is . No , no . I need a detective . With this strike going on , I ca n't find one anywhere . Hey , put a sock in it , lady . I 'm in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( grunts ) As I was saying , there could be a case lurking anywhere . Uh , Duckman ? You 're going to interrupt me too ? ! ( whispering ) Uh-huh . Mm-hmm . Hmm ? Uh , no , Cornfed , we ca n't take lunch yet . I have an intuitive sense that this woman may have a case . Well , lady , are my razor-sharp instincts correct ? I 've been trying to tell you - - my husband disappeared - - Mayor Whitman . Mayor Whitman ! The man who brought honesty and fairness to municipal politics ? The man who cleansed city hall of corruption . The man I voted for six times last election ? Any suspects ? Well , there 's Le Francis - - Lance Le Francis . He manages the baseball star Honiss Rhodes . I think money could be a motivating factor here . You 're right . Le Francis owed taxes to the city . I mean , for me . How much cash you willing to cough up ? I 'll pay you $5,000 . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , sorry . Reflex . Five thousand , huh ? Make it ten , you got a deal . Five . Nine . Eight . Five . Seven . Five . Six . Five . Five , but that 's as low as I 'll go . Four . Deal ! I 'll take the case if we 're not booked up . Cor-nay , would you mind checking my book ? You 've got your 50th high school reunion in June of 2021 . Before that , we 're clear . From the moment a case begins , I get into a mode of heightened reality , hyper-perceptive to every single thing that goes on around me , like an owl scouting its prey , sensing it , finding it , then moving in for the ... Corny , you remember where I parked ? Ook-lay ehind you-bay . Heh-heh . Nice job , Corny . I like to devise little games to keep Cornfed sharp . BERNICE : Duckman ! There you are . I 've been looking everywhere for you . Oh , my heavens ! Is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Now ! DUCKMAN : Bernice , what the .. ? Look , aliens are stealing that baby ! As I was saying , I was just catching up on one of my many and varied leisure time activities . Favorite hobbies include drag racing , ancient Greek philosophy , and snorkeling , which , by the bye , has resulted in an almost superhuman capacity for breath control , when I remembered I had something urgent to do . I have something urgent to do too . I 'm about to solve the 100th case on American Dicks . Tell her , Corny . Define " about to solve . " Hey , want to see my abscessed tooth ? CAMERAMAN : Hey , what are you .. ? What 's this button do ? CAMERAMAN : Keep your hands off of that , you little ( bleep ) ! Here , let me get that wire for you . Bernice , do n't you realize how much this case will do for me ? It will make me somebody . My kids will be able to be proud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my moment in the sun . That 's not the only reason I 'm here . You promised to spend an afternoon with the children . Yeah , sure , before they get married . Do I .. ? I mean , they 're so busy with school and all . Look , Bernice , I ca n't take them now . Think about someone besides yourself for once . And do n't forget Charles and Mambo 's recital Friday , either . Ta-ta ! ( @sirens_wailing ) CAMERAMAN : Out of the way ! I was here first . Sorry , we got jurisdiction here . We 're on a major network . Oh . DUCKMAN : What the hell 's going on ? ! You 're under arrest , Duckman . ( @clears_throat ) ... Let me try it again . You 're under arrest , Duckman . You have the right to remain silent . You have some other rights too which they 'll dub in at editing . Let 's go . Wait , guys ! You ca n't do this to me . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , my once-in-a-lifetime shot . Are you goons listening to me ? Ooh . Goons ? Just a term of affection from the Latin - - goonar , " to like . " The nightsticks are just for show , right ? Well , I 'm sure we 'll be out of here and back on the case faster than you can say plea bargain . They obviously got the wrong guy . I 'm a good citizen . I pay taxes , well , sales tax , except on the stereo stuff I buy from those two discount guys in the ski masks . ( gavelpounds ) I hereby call this court to order . And welcome some very special guests and close personal friends . American Cops , American Dicks , American Stenographers , American Court Janitors , and of course , our very own Slap-Happy Singleton . First on the docket , the case of the City ... C-I-T-Y , city , city , city , yay ! Woof ! Woof ! Woof ! ... versus Duckman . ( booing ) Mr . Duckman , you stand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Your Honor , please ? Ca n't you just let me off with a warning ? I 'll go to a few traffic classes , become a better driver by watching all those movies of people flying through their windshields . Yes , well , uh , I suppose I could let you off . AJAX : Way to go , Dad . He did n't even nail you for that expired license . Or when you backed that manure spreader next to his car and emptied it into his sunroof , the last time he gave you a ... That Duckman ! Thanks , kids . You little ( bleep ) . I sentence you to five years in prison without parole , without cable TV , without ... Wait a minute . Are you Cornfed Pig ? Ernie " Flipper " Davenport , Navy Seals , Third Division . Corny , you old hog ! How are you ? Oh , same old , same old . You know this clown ? He 's my boss . I ca n't lock up the boss of a man @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heart using only a Swiss Army Knife and a boot lace . Penalty reduced to a fine of $500 or three days in jail . I do n't have $500 ! I ca n't go to jail now ! Look , I do n't suppose you could float me a few C-notes till I crack this case ? Ow ! Where you going ? We 're both mature , sensible adults here . Why do n't we just turn this pesky little camera off and have a rational discussion . Please , please , please ! You got to bail me out ! I 'll do anything for you ! I 'll scrub the backs of your knees ! I 'll peel the corns off your toes with my teeth ! I 'll even hand wash you ! I did turn that thing off , right ? Actually , you hit the tint button . Oh . ( chuckles ) I guess you 'll cut that out too . Thanks for the loan , although I still think mowing your lawn for five years is a little excessive . Dad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home practicing our tubas . Look , kids , I 'm doing this for you . Aside from the incredible fame and celebrity I 'll get from the exposure , some of this reward money will go to your college educations . You know , your old dad can only go so far in teaching you all the important things you need to know in life . Hey , Dad , I can belch my name better now . ( belches ) : Ajax . Still not hearing that second syllable , son . I think we have the best dad in the world , except maybe for my friend Peter 's dad who buys him things , or Nurya 's dad who has six fingers . My dad swatted my face with a broom once . Of course , I was eating from the dustpan at the time . ( @tires_screeching ) Okay , kids , be careful , This is obviously a seedy area . In fact , I would n't even be in this section of town if it were n't a matter of life and death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ owe me ? ( screams ) I got a common name . Mrs . Whitman said Honiss Rhodes is signing autographs down here . Now I know , he can lead us to Le Francis . I have a sixth sense about the criminal element . That 's right , if there 's the fetid funk of crime within a mile of here , I 'll sniff it out . Hey , punk , you pay for that candy ? ( yells ) ( chuckles ) Guilty conscience . ( rumbling ) Sorry . My gastriacis acts up whenever I have n't eaten all day . Oh , gum ! There 's Honiss now . Time to take out the trash . Hey ! He 's your biggest fan . If you could just sign his oxygen tank " Keep on fighting , little slugger . This one 's going extra innings . " It would make his day . That 's five bucks a word for the inscription and ten for the signature . Oh . All right , bat boy . Where 's your manager , Le Francis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the , uh ... bat boy . All right , stay here , kids . No telling what to expect . What do you say , Le Francis , pay or play ? I do n't know what you 're talking about . Oh , no ? Well , perhaps this will refresh your memory . What does a Polaroid of you handing dollar bills to half-naked Amazons have to do with anything ? Oh . Wrong picture . That 's Mayor Whitman . Guilty as charged ! Yeah . You can have all the technology in the world , but what it comes down to each and every time is gut instinct . Help ! I 'm the mayor ! They 're trying to kidnap me ! Help ! Uh , Duckman ... Not now , Corny . I 'm having a moment . Kids , come here and share the limelight with your old man - - the best detective this fair city has ever known . Duckman , the mayor ... Yeah , I like the sound of that . Duckman , the mayor . What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that great big house , go to free dinners , fix parking tickets . ( screaming ) Oh , that mayor . ( cameramanpanting ) ( cameramangrunts ) ( cameramanpanting ) Something 's wrong here . Where the hell 's my car freshener ? ! Oh . Never mind . Here it is . You know , kids , once I solve this case , your pop will probably be the most important detective ever on this show . What do you think about that , Corny ? You 're working for the biggest American dick ever . AJAX : Hey , quit pushing me . Then move your carcass . What 's a carcass ? Protozoa brain . Double bill . All right , knock it off , or I 'll send you back to your biological parents . ( @horn_honking ) ( grunting ) ( @siren_wailing ) ( camermanpanting ) Dad , Dad . It 's the camera guy . Ooh , look . A chocolate bar . ( screams ) Help ! AJAX : Eww ... this is n't a chocolate bar . ( @speaking_foreign_language ) Oh-ho @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - - you just missed my kids . Their Aunt Bernice came by to pick them up . I begged them to stay . They 're so much fun to have around . Dad , if you 're going to kick us out at least give us cab fare ! There you are ! Corny ! Hey , why do n't you tell them all the great detective stuff I did while he was gone . Well , he interviewed everyone the mayor has ever known , put a phone tap on his house , checked his credit card receipts for the last 12 months , and snuck off to his favorite topless bar and spent our retainer on table dances . Liar ! You 're right . He did n't do those first three things . Okay , so we 're out of leads . It does n't matter . We masters of the craft find leads where none exist . What , you did n't think I went in there to get a lead , did you ? ( chuckling ) The kidnapper 's a Scorpio . Uh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah , I 'm doing a little survey . Do you happen to know where the mayor is ? No , huh ? Okay . Yeah , is Betty Abagam there ? Dasvidanya , comrade . I 'm through , Corny . Ruined ! Kaput ! A has-been ! A won't-be ! A loser ! I let my kids down . I let you down . I might as well throw away my detective 's license . ( sobbing ) I ca n't believe ... Do n't you ever knock ? ! CORNFED : Duckman , take a look at this . Oh , my God ! I ca n't believe it ! I 've been drinking expired milk ! I was referring to this picture of the mayor , bound and gagged , with Le Francis behind him , holding a gun to his head , leading to the conclusion that Le Francis kidnapped the mayor and is keeping him at the dairy he owns -- the same dairy that the mayor wanted to shut down because Le Francis was n't paying any taxes . Uh-huh . One question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ew ! Son of a ... All right , this is it . This is what we detectives live for . The big bust ! Pervert ! Look at the size of those udders . That 's our milking area . We milk the cows about once a week so they do n't get sore teats . ( @both_chuckling ) Can I help you with something ? Um , we 're with the American Milk Society , and we 're doing a film on , uh ... milking . Mind if we poke around in areas not usually open to people looking for a kidnap victim ? Nah . Go ahead . All right , there you have it . Superior detective skills . That 's what separates the true detectives from the pretenders . The ability to assume a new identity to move in secrecy like a prowler in the night leaving no trail , no scent . MAN : Phone call for private detective ! That 's me ! Hello . Bernice ? ! I told you never to call me ... anywhere ! Yuck . No , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Duckman ... I know about the recital . I do n't want to miss it . If you 'd get off the phone , maybe I could solve this case and get there on time . I got a hunch I 'm onto something at this dairy . Bernice , I do n't want to let them down ! I know I 'm their only father . I 'm also the only person in the world right now who 's able to save the mayor . See if you can stall the recital for a few minutes . I 'll try to find the mayor . When I do , I 'll be able to buy the boys a hundred pianos . Right , tubas . ( yelling ) CROWD ( chanting ) : Cornfed ! Cornfed ! Of course it was dangerous , Mayor , but that comes with the territory . ( screaming ) ( mooing ) WOMAN : That 's the duck who put his face between my breasts . Hey , you ca n't do this ! This is my ticket to the big time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was great ! It 's like I never missed your recital . I tried to make it , kids , honestly I did . You guys know I love you . And to prove it , I got you something . I hope it 's the right size . A sweater ! Who should we thank - - you or the midget who left it at the bus depot ? ( laughing ) I ca n't breathe . Where 's Mambo ? Well , the mayor 's back in city hall and Lance Le Francis is behind bars . And even though I did n't officially solve the case , I had my own reward . Today I learned the importance of being a good father , and that means being around when my bogs need me . Bogs ? That should be boys . You misspelled that on purpose , did n't you ? You 're trying to humiliate me . I tried to have one moment here and you took it away from me . Yoo-hoo ! Mike ? I 'm ready to go . And bring the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sister-in-law ? ! Do n't you have any ethics , any morals , any taste ? Well , I 've about had it with you ! Ever since you got here , you 've been trying to make me look bad . Well , here , how do I look now ? ! ( groaning ) Mike ? Mike ? Duckman ! If he ca n't walk out of here on two feet , you wo n't be able to either . Duckman ! Duckman ! ( Duckmanyelling ) ( trafficnoise )

And always get permission from the church or the cemetery administrator before you start any grave rubbing . WOMAN : Does n't friction damage the stone ? Yes , it can . That 's why I use synthetic rice paper and light , even strokes . There , okay ? All right , you guys go out and do it . - Have fun . - Okay , thank you . You bet . Donna Hoppe ? Yeah ? Your secretary told me you would be here . My name is Greg Sanders ; I 'm with the Las Vegas Crime Lab . Sanders ? that 's Americanized , right ? Yeah . Shortened from Sanderson . My father 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mother 's ? Hojems . From Oslo . How many were named Olaf ? My grandfather was Olaf Hojem the eighth . ( laughs ) You should hyphenate . Hojem is an infinitely more interesting name than Sanders . But if you wanted a genealogy lesson , you should have shown up earlier , for my seminar . Actually , I 'm here on other business . Mrs . Hoppe , I 'm very sorry to tell you this , but your business partner , Dan Traxler , was killed last night . Oh , my God . How ? What happened ? Well , we 're investigating it as a homicide . ( gasps ) Oh , my ... Do you know if he had any enemies ? Anyone threaten him or your business ? No . Dan was a prince . Everybody loved him . Genealogy was his life . If he had any faults , it was that he got too close to his clients . What about his personal life ? No , he was n't seeing anyone . Did he usually carry a briefcase ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in it ? Um , his work , his research . Did he have a client list ? Um ... Client names , phone numbers . Oh , great , thanks . SANDERS : Mrs . Hoppe , was it normal for your partner to meet with his clients at night ? Yes , we try to accommodate their schedules . If they 're working , then we visit them after work . SANDERS : There 's a Judy Robbins on this list . Do you know her ? No , I think he finished that project . I 'm sorry . Will you excuse me , please ? Thank you for not asking how I 'm doing . David 's been asking me every five minutes . Well , he 's concerned . As we all are . I know what you 're thinking . Well , uh ... it 's just hard enough when someone you love 's in trouble . It 's harder still when you 're dealing with betrayal . You do n't think about that when you have an affair . Judy had an affair @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ca n't ... a-and I wanted to see if I could . Almost destroyed Judy and our marriage . When I was married to Eddie , he would hurt me , and then ... I would hurt him back , and it was just ... years of back and forth . That what you think happened here ? ( @phone_ringing ) Cath , I have to take this , I 'm sorry . Yeah.Oh , of course . Yeah , thanks for getting back to me so quickly . I got your name from a colleague . My wife needs a criminal defense attorney . It 's a murder . Hey , Russell wants an update . You know , for a guy who seems so laid back , Russell can be terrifying . Terrifying ? No . I mean , maybe a bit odd or demanding . But , hey , as long as you get the job done as fast as humanly possible ... Does he ever yell out your name ? I like to think of it as a respectful shout . - Hm . - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , semen stains on the bed sheets are an admixture of DNA from Doc and Judy . I did n't find semen from Traxler anywhere , but I found his saliva . - On a pillow ? - Likely the murder weapon . Found touch DNA , too . SANDERS : So the killer did n't wear gloves . And the DNA 's male , and ... not Doc Robbins ' . I 'm running it through CODIS right now . And our guy 's not in CODIS . I 'll give you anything if you tell Russell . So , the DNA 's a dead end ? Um ... well , not necessarily . We could expand our search from an individual to a family . If it gets a hit in CODIS , that family could lead us to the killer , like a DNA family tree . If the killer has family in CODIS , we 'll get a partial match . Just ... just one problem . Uh , ca n't exactly push a button to do this search . You need the sheriff 's approval @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talk to the sheriff . Was there something else ? No . Okay . I ca n't believe somebody hurt that nice man . Ms . Smith , you were on Dan Traxler 's client list . - You hired him ? - Yes . See , I 'm getting married . And my dad 's dead ; his folks , too . My mom 's not close to our family , but I thought if I found her father - - my grandfather - - maybe he could walk me down the aisle . So you wanted Mr . Traxler to find him ? Yeah . He said if my grandfather was alive , he could track him down . - Did he ? - I do n't know . We were supposed to meet again today . He was excited to show me new documents and records he found . He was like a paper detective . Mr . Traxler ever ... behave inappropriately towards you ? ( laughs ) : God , no . The guy was a monk . He lived in the past . " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other clients - - they 'll tell you the same thing . I spoke with a couple of them before I hired him . Oh , did you speak to Judy Robbins ? Yeah . She could n't say enough nice things about him . I was really counting on having my grandfather at my wedding . What is your grandfather 's name ? Samuel Francis Duggan . Is n't that a nice name ? ? And here 's to you , Mrs . Ro-hah-bins ... ? That 's not funny , and I 'm busy . So if you have any results for me , cough ' em up . ( @clears_throat ) Lipstick on the victim 's face was a match to Judy 's brand . Well , she said she gave him CPR . I 'll bet that 's not all she gave him . I 'm just saying that when I play " Sexual Healing , " it 's foreplay . Yeah , well , playing it for yourself does n't count . ( @wry_laugh ) What about the cat litter ? HODGES : Not a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with alprazolam . Why would a cat need antidepressants ? Antidepressants are commonly prescribed for felines undergoing prolonged medical treatment . And ... check this out . One sweep of my radiation isotope identifier ... ( beeping ) ... rings like a Super Jackpot . SANDERS : So the cat urine is radioactive ? Iodine 131 . It 's used to treat thyroid cancer , and it has a half-life of eight days . Now , I 'm thinking that the sick cat belonged to the illicit lover . No . No way . I checked Traxler 's shoes , office , house - - no kitty litter and no kitty . There 's always the " unknown accomplice " theory . Or ... Judy 's telling the truth and someone else was in that house . Either way , you 're looking for a sick cat . Chemotherapy 's expensive , done only by veterinary specialists . Okay , so then get me a list of those specialists and every cat they 've treated in the last eight days . Get me a warrant . There 's a pet-vet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a list of furless felines without it . ( groans ) RUSSELL : Henry , what do you got ? - Ah , the CODIS familial search found our killer 's first order relative . - A Jimmy Duggan . - " First order " meaning father , brother , son of our killer , right ? Here 's what I 've got . Traxler 's client , Carla Duggan Smith , was looking for her grandfather -- Samuel Francis Duggan . Maybe Traxler found Sam , and then Sam found Traxler ? So now we need to find Sam . Hey , maybe Jimmy knows where he is . I actually did some extra credit . I could tell you where Jimmy is . Same place he 's been the last 13 years . That 's almost too easy . Whatever you want , I did n't do it . ( chuckles ) It says here that you 're serving a life sentence for armed robbery That third strike , that-that 's a bitch . I 'll bet . I want to ask some questions about your family , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was 13 . He divorced my crazy bitch of a mother . I mean , she was always high on something . Used to beat the crap out of me . - That must 've been rough . - Yeah , well , you wo n't see me crying . When the old man left , I did , too , you know ? On my own at 13 . No wonder I ended up in the big house , right ? Do you have any brothers , Jimmy ? No . I got one sister-- Jasmine . She likes to pretend I 'm dead . And , of course , the old man , he could have more , I do n't know . No , I 'm looking for full male relatives , no steps . - You have any sons ? - Nope . What did that bastard do ? Maybe nothing , maybe murder . Well , hot damn ! We 'd be cell mates . ( @both_chuckling ) Hey , do you think your mom might know where Sam is ? Nah , doubt that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yourself . She lives in Primm . I searched all our databases - - all I got was Samuel Duggan 's date of birth . Oh , archival databases are notoriously incomplete . He could live in another state ; he could be dead . But Dan would have discovered that weeks ago and informed his client . So ... let 's find Jimmy 's father Sam by doing the Smith-Duggan family tree . Okay , tell me what you know . All right , uh , my boss talked with Jimmy Duggan . His dad , Sam , married Eunice Carter in 1956 or ' 57 , right out of high school . - Mm-hmm . They had Jimmy in 1958 and his sister Jasmine in ' 67 . Now , Jasmine Duggan married Gary Smith in ' 88 , and they had Carla in 1990 . Oh , she 's the client who wanted to be walked down the aisle by a male relative , right ? Right . According to Jimmy , there are no other male relatives . ( sighs ) : Okay , Hojem-Sanders ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ decree - - as far as we know - - in 1971 . All we have to do is find it . ( patsSanders ' thigh ) BRAD LEWIS : She 's done answering questions . Judy , let 's go . ( sobbingsighs ) Oh ... Al ... ( crying ) I just want to go home . Listen , Mr . Lewis will drive you home . Al ... we need to talk . I want to explain everything . It 's just ... Judy , Judy ... I need to believe in you - - in us - - and if we talk and I 'm not convinced ... it 'll all be gone , and I 'm not prepared for that . ( whispers ) : Okay . Well , when you 're ready to talk ... I 'll be at home . Sit down , Hojem-Sanders . Have I got a story for you . Sam and Eunice 's divorce decree . And here 's the interesting part . In the state of Nevada , a divorce is normally given six months after the filing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nine months . Why is that ? Eunice was pregnant . Judges wo n't grant a divorce if the woman is with child . They want to wait till after the birth to resolve any custody issues . So Jimmy Duggan could have a sibling that he does n't even know about . Oh , it gets better - - there is no mention of a baby in this decree . And there 's no record of a birth certificate in 1971 for a Duggan . And I even checked under Eunice 's maiden name Carter . Nothing . So where does that leave us ? " A baby was left on the steps of Desert Palm Hospital yesterday . " In honor of St . Patrick 's Day , " the nurses named him Baby Patrick . " He will be sent to St . Martine 's Orphanage later this week . " March 17 , 1971 . Date fits . It 's not very scientific . Well , this is n't science , this is genealogy . Trust your gut . SANDERS : Well , my gut says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ faith , my son . Have faith . SANDERS : I 'm really digging . this genealogy stuff . When Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden , back in 1814 , with the Treaty of Kiel , my great-great grandfather , Olaf Hojem , was one of the leaders of the uprising against Swedish rule . He helped convene the first Norwegian assembly and write the national constitution . That sounds great , but tell me about Baby Patrick . Well , St . Martine 's Orphanage is long-gone , but Donna was able to track down one of the nuns . According to Sister Mary Agnes , Patrick 's legal name is Patrick O'Toole , which was the nun 's family name . Apparently , there 's a lot of O'Tooles running around Vegas . What do we know about Patrick O'Toole ? Uh , he 's still local . I checked out his work - - Hodges is at his apartment now . Hey . Wait until I tell you about Eunice Duggan . BRODY : I always try to remain impartial , but a woman like Eunice Duggan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't stop yelling at me the entire time I was at her house . So Eunice was ex-wife of Samuel and mother of Jimmy . SANDERS : And possibly the birth mother of Patrick O'Toole , who dumped him at Desert Palm Hospital . Eunice gave up DNA , but denies having a kid in 1971 . Anyway , Henry 's running her swab against the other samples . HODGES : Okay , so , uh , the landlord would not let me into Patrick O'Toole 's apartment , but he did give me one very interesting piece of information . O'Toole has a cat . A sick cat . And there 's only one vet in Vegas that does cat thyroid chemo . ( catmewing ) What-What about my cat ? You pretended to be my vet , you told me Barclay needs emergency surgery ? That 's entrapment or something . BRASS : If I were you , I 'd be more worried about the DNA sample we just sent to the lab . - Barclay needs his meds . - Well , the vet is right outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he needs . All right ? Now that we got the cat out of the way , let 's talk about murder . You ever hear of Dan Traxler ? Nope . Let me see the bottom of your ) Radioactive cat litter . BRASS : So , you were in Judy Robbins 's house . Who the hell 's she ? Dan Traxler was visiting her when you killed him . Look , the evidence is going to tell us . I just want to hear it from you . What the hell 's wrong with you ? I think I screwed up the DNA . Well , if you screw up the DNA , you can kiss your career good-bye . I know ! Just ... look . Well , the sample runs look fine . Look at the references . Oh . ( sighs ) I 'm not so sure you did anything wrong , but somebody might 've . We have to do a kin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Well , I 'm not gon na do this by myself . Get the reagent . ? ? Not a lot of diversity , so , Eunice , Jimmy and Patrick are related . Just not how we thought they were . We need to confirm this with Y-STR . Y-chromosome-linked DNA . That 's the only way to be certain . - Missing briefcase ? - Yup . Recovered it from Patrick 's car . All right , great . So that proves that he was in Doc 's house . What was in it ? Documents from a bunch of clients , including Carla Duggan Smith . Traxler kept very detailed records of everything - - every meeting , every phone call . And according to his log , he did meet with Patrick several times , including the day he was murdered . Maybe Traxler stumbled across Patrick when he was looking for Carla 's grandfather . You know , maybe he thought he 'd found another relative for Carla to invite to her wedding . I 'm still not sure how this leads to murder @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that angle . Oh , good . Greg ! Good job . You know we have an intercom system . I got our motive . I know why Patrick killed Traxler . And it 's twisted . Cue the banjo music . This report says that your DNA was found on the pillow used to smother Dan Traxler . Without saying one word , that 's 25 to life . It also says that the Duggans have one hell of a family secret . Screw you . You were orphaned , abandoned , on your own since you were born . Must have developed a thick skin . Probably tried to forget you even had a family . Hard to miss what you 've never had . Until that genealogist showed up ... asking questions about your family , especially your father . And your curiosity got the best of you . BRASS : So you followed him , and I 'm betting that the old lady , Mama Eunice , was n't too happy to see you . And she told you who your father was . You are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then , and I sure as hell do n't want you now . My mother had sex with her own son . BRASS : When Jimmy was 13 . Now , that 's rape in 50 states , without a statute of limitations . She 's going down , and you 're the walking , talking proof of her crime . Why take your anger out on Traxler ? This guy shows up all excited , talking about family reunions and happy endings . SANDERS : And for the first time in your life , you thought , you 're not alone . - Yeah . And thanks to him , I know just how screwed up my family is . What were you doing at Judy Robbins 's house ? After I left that crazy bitch , I went to Traxler 's office to get in his face . Saw him leave , so I followed him . - Patrick . - Get up . Now ! Come with me . And the briefcase . You banging this broad ? Absolutely not . She 's just a client . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll kill her . Now get in the bed . Okay , okay ... ( @muffled_screaming ) PATRICK : Everybody screws everybody in this world . I knew you cops would think it was a sex thing . My mother 's a drunken whore , and my brother 's my father . I did n't need to know that . He ruined my life . SANDERS : Well , for what it 's worth , I do n't think Traxler knew about the incest . - I do n't care ! - Rodriguez , wrap him up . That 's it ? He should 've just left it alone . SANDERS : Donna . What brings you here ? I found Grandpa Sam in Provo . He goes by Grafs now . And he 's agreed to meet Carla . Oh . Well , after all that , I hope he walks her down the aisle . Hojem-Sanders , you are a true romantic . It 's very appealing . We arrested the man who killed Dan . I heard . Thank you for that . It 's easy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had their interests at heart . ( sighs ) In the 1900s , Alrik Magnar Hojem was one of the richest men in Edina , Minnesota . And legend has it , that because of his vast wealth and enormous ego , he earned the nickname " cake-eaters , " a derogatory term used to describe all Edina residents by their less affluent neighbors . Alrik was my great uncle . His ego was legendary . In fact , that 's how my family ended up in California . Ah . If I wanted to learn more about my family history , is it okay to call you ? Of course . But let 's concentrate on the Hojems . And remember , hyphenate . Hey . I 'm glad I caught you . Al , everything Judy said checked out . I just could n't get past that first impression . Hard for me to get past it , too . Yeah , I guess I was punishing her for what my ex-wife did to me , but that was my marriage , not yours . You were right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I appreciate that , Jim . Yeah ... Oh , uh ... oh , this is ... ( laughs ) This was in Traxler 's briefcase . It has your name on it . I 'll let Judy tell you what 's inside . Go home to your wife , buddy . ? ? Hi . Hi . ( laughs ) I was beginning to think you were going to sleep at the office . I 'm sorry for doubting you . And ... I 'm sorry for ... for keeping secrets . I ... I wanted it to be a surprise . You did that . Al , I love you . Do n't ever doubt that . I won't . ( sighs ) ( sighs ) Mm ! All right , go ahead , open it . Whoa ! Yeah . And look at this .

Palm City , it 's like Peter Fleming 's laboratory . But if he succeeds here , it 'll just spread unless people start standing up . I ca n't show my face , Portman , but I can and I will watch your back . But you have to do this . Palm City needs you . What are you , some - - some do-good vigilante ? Some superhero ? I 'm The Cape . The Cape ? You 're not wearing a cape . I 'm aware of that . - No offense . - None taken . It 's not just me , Portman . There are others , there 's an underground . You 're not alone . The Cape . Dana Faraday . Yes . Travis Hall . I really hate to do this to you , but the job 's been filled already . I 'm really sorry . Thank you for coming in though . I know my name is a stigma . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Convictions are off the charts down here . Ark 's flooding the streets with cops who make four hours of court overtime every time they make an arrest . You 're on your backs . And as for my name , let me enlighten you and your super-curious little staff here to one nagging detail regarding my husband , Vince Faraday . He never had a trial . I am here to provide the justice to others that my husband was denied , and if you have a vertebra in your spine , you 'll give me the chance . This interview is over . And as for the vertebra in my spine , it works both ways , because now I 'm afraid to send you home . You defend your clients with this much energy ? Yeah , I do . Faradays are fighters . Find a desk . I murdered my brother , and my mother , and my two sisters . Cain is the father of all murderers . Cain 's real name is Raimonde LeFleur . Raimonde LeFleur ? Yes . Trained as a gourmet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time in Owl Island prison , where he was probably recruited by Tarot . Raimonde LeFleur . Man , this guy 's super French . What are you doing ? I am inside the Ark police search engine . Would n't bet your password 's still good , Vince . Yeah , maybe not mine , but Marty 's on the other hand - - what the hell was it ? He never changed it . It 's , uh , his mom 's cat that he hated . Flowers , Flowers . I 'm in . Nice one . Cain 's got about 50 aliases here and an address 2 years old . It 's worth a shot . Okay , you stay on Portman . And if Cain gets to Portman before I get to Cain , you call me . Play safe . Love what you 've done with the place . What the hell do you want ? Rollo made a cauliflower soup . The smell alone drove me away . He has a profound lack of talent in the kitchen . Yeah , well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I 'm trying to prevent a murder . Are n't you forgetting something ? Most men would have walked away . Not you . My family 's not my weakness , Max . It 's my strength . But if choose to stay and fight , they will be in danger . Not as long as Vince Faraday 's dead . Is that a secret you 're willing to keep ? This is a war . I was a cop , I was a soldier . I 'll do what I have to to keep my family safe . The Cape is just a tool . It alone wo n't get you home . Only Vince Faraday can do that . Do n't ever forget who it is that 's wearing The Cape . I wo n't , Max . Thank you . Mr . Portman , thank you for agreeing to meet with me . Mr . Fleming , understand that nothing can convince me ... Oh , my God . We are fully booked , I 'm afraid . Anna Orlando . I write the blog Taste @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bought by Mise-en-Place Magazine . Drove up the traffic to our views 200k last week . I do n't typically do drive-bys , but here I am . I 'm sure we can find you something , Miss Orlando . Oh . The Chef will prepare you something quite special , I 'm sure . Thank you . Nothing can convince me ... Good evening . I 'm so pleased you came . Miss Orlando , is it ? Have we met ? No . You look very , very familiar to me . I think you remind me of my second wife . A reviewer , you are food expert , no ? Please , you will be my guest in the kitchen . I will show you the whole works . I could n't . I insist . You must be very , very busy , what with your food blog and ... Writing for The Congressional Quarterly . You just do n't know when to give up , do you ? It 's my most annoying feature . - Sorry , sir . - I 'm sorry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything 's fine . Sir , we should get you out . It 's under control . I 've heard all sides . Everyone has had a fair hearing . I will not approve Mr . Fleming 's application . The jail system will remain under city and state control . The motion is denied . Hi . Hey . Can I join you ? Hey . You know no matter what they say , they can never take away our memories of him . We know the man he was .

@@5246141 I think you did an astounding job . I just do n't get it . Love it , and I love how you 're thinking . Thank you . ( McKenzie ) Previously on Face Off ... Jamie 's wooden bridge troll earned her her first win , but Anthony stumbled , and Team Rayce suffered their second loss in a row . Now ten artists remain , and tonight all bets are off . Models , come on out . Ooh . I 've never body-painted before in my life . I do n't need this now . Changing it halfway through is n't helping . I 'm not comfortable changing my entire paint job . You will be the one going home . It looks like a little kid 's painting at a county fair . ( McKenzie ) In the end , only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations , a brand-new 2015 Fiat 500 , and $100,000 . This is Face Off . [exciting_music] Oh , well , here we go . This is so weird . ( Jamie ) Beautiful . ( Emily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these different hats , and I am pumped . The hats are wild and very inspiring , so I 'm really excited to hear what the challenge is . Hey , guys . ( all ) Hi . Well , as you can tell , this is gon na be a fun one , so let 's get to it . Some of Hollywood 's most unforgettable characters , like The Cat in the Hat and Davy Jones , they 're not only known for the roles they play , but also their singular hats . In this Foundation Challenge , you will select one of these hats and use it to inspire an original character of your own . This is really cool . Before we get started , I 'd like to introduce you to today 's special guest judge . Last season , she joined the Face Off family when she filled in for Ve on the judges ' panel . [all_gasp] Please give a warm welcome back to Oscar-winning makeup artist Lois Burwell . [cheers_and_applause] Lois Burwell , makeup legend and judge from season seven . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her realism . I 'm really stoked that she 's gon na be judging our Foundation Challenge . - What a great hat . - Thank you very much . It would be rude not to , would n't it , on a hat challenge ? [laughter] All right , well , you 've seen it all in your storied career , and you 've brought so many incredible characters to life . So what is it about a hat that can make a character stand out ? Well , the wonderful thing about a hat is that it frames the face . So the hat complements the makeup , the character . Be inspired by the hat . What are you gon na be looking for in today 's final makeups ? Not only technique and skill , but more importantly , a clean makeup . All right , we started this season with 15 of you . ( McKenzie ) Now only 10 of you are left . So winning today 's challenge and its prize of immunity means more than ever . ( Rob ) Immunity would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenge , it gives me the ability to try things that I would never try before . Your models and your makeup stations have been randomly assigned , and on Lois 's go , I want you to grab a hat and get to work . You have two hours for this Foundation Challenge . Ready , set ... Go . - This one . - Shit , this is heavy . Hey , let 's see if this fits . I grab the poofy dandelion hat . It 's fluffy . I immediately think Dr . Seuss , so I 'm thinking cute , like , Whoville-style character . Yay . Okay , let 's go with that . Let 's see how this fits you first . Ridiculous . [chuckles] I end up picking a ship hat . I thought I would make a pirate . But no ship 's captain would wear a hat that looked like a ship on his head . It 's a silly hat . So I do n't know what I 'm doing . I guess I 'll just make a dead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ na make you all wood . - Okay . A wooden boy . ( Rob ) I have the top hat , and I 'm really excited , because my kids will like my concept , which is a dark version of Pinocchio . Geppetto did n't save Pinocchio , and he 's still trying to find his father after all these years . This is if you stayed in the whale longer than expected . [laughs] I am creating this asymmetric goddess-style character in a tin-foil dress . I picked a really big , busy hat . It 's full of metal and rhinestones ... It 's gon na get uncomfortable kind of fast . So I start gluing crushed rhinestones on my model . I want it to be more sparkly and gold and silver , and on the other side , I want it to be more blue and purple . Oh , gosh . ( Kelly ) Give me your whimsical face . My hat is this cool toy , tinker , metal , old-school hat . It 's just obnoxious . It 's great . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the Willy Wonka of the toy world . You look so good . Five minutes , you guys ! You got five minutes left ! Time 's up . Brushes down . Yay . All right , so tell us about what you created today . So I wanted to go with a smaller hat . I just made , like , an evil Victorian queenlike figure . When you do a lip line , you will find if you just put a finger here , and then work like that ... Hmm , oh . You can gauge the movement of the actor , and you 'll get a finer line . - It 's a nice makeup . - Thank you . I thought , " What if Pinocchio was n't saved ? What if he was lost at sea ? " It 's an amazing backstory . - Thank you . - Yeah . This section here , I think , is the area that works best . But if you just added some highlights going through , it would 've made the whole thing feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's a very nice makeup . Thank you very much . So she is the emperor 's daughter , and she has two sides to her ... a dark side , and then the other side , she 's more serene . This is a huge amount of work . ( Lois ) I like very much the use and understanding of color and the transition from one color to the other . - It 's very well done . - Thank you . So I 've created a nomadic warrior . I would n't have used so many pieces . I would have concentrated doing one thing extremely well . - But it is a good makeup . - Okay . [laughs] Thanks . Looking around the lab is really cool , because people went in a lot of different directions with this one . The hats were so different , and there 's some really interesting makeups . I do n't know who 's gon na win . Okay , Lois . So how did they do today ? Everyone did exceptionally well . I 'm really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right , who created your favorite looks , then ? Rob , I thought the work said something about the simplicity of the hat being translated into a simple makeup . - Thank you . - Emily ... you achieved a huge amount of work and translated the hat into that makeup superbly well . Thank you . Who is the winner of this challenge ? The winner this week is ... [suspenseful_music] Emily . [applause] You have an understanding of color , form , and shape . - Very well done . - Thank you . Emily , congratulations . As the winner of today 's Foundation Challenge , you have earned immunity in the next Spotlight Challenge . How 's that feel ? It feels really good . Does n't it ? I bet . ( Emily ) I 'm thrilled . It 's exciting because who knows what the next challenge could be ? They 're getting more difficult . Lois , thank you so much for being here today . It was a pleasure . ( Lois ) Oh , thank you for having me . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today , you guys . I will see you tomorrow for your next Spotlight Challenge . - Bye . - Bye . - Thanks . - Night-night . We arrive out to Canyon Ranch , and I am not much of a nature boy . I 'm not a happy camper . So I am looking out for rattlesnakes , bugs , any of God 's creatures that could kill me . So I 'm really looking forward to going back to the lab . Does McKenzie always hang out in the woods ? [laughter] [sighs] Hey , guys . ( all ) Hi . Welcome to Canyon Ranch . This beautiful wooded landscape has been featured in a variety of television shows and feature films , including The Office , Sons of Anarchy , and my personal favorite , True Blood . All right , let 's talk about your next Spotlight Challenge . Mankind continues to be fascinated by royalty . Now , while royals rule over humans , nature shows us that this social stratum actually exists in other species that represents more than half of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a few by your feet at this very moment ... insects . Oh . I 'm feeling really pumped . I 'm thinking about sculpting little appendages and just nasty , like , awesomeness . Deep in these woods , you will find several elaborate habitats , along with an image of a unique insect . Working in teams of two , you will select an insect and habitat to inspire a beautiful insect queen and her companion . All right , why do n't you go ahead and select a teammate ? Did you just ... - What 's up , brother ? - [humming_happily] ( McKenzie ) Now , before you can get started , there is a big part of this challenge that I have n't told you about . Oh . You 're not gon na be working in the lab this week . In fact , this entire Spotlight Challenge will take place right here in the woods . - What ? - What ? Are we camping here ? I do n't really understand what that means . So are we sculpting in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rob ) Oh , God . [laughter] Um ... Oh , God ! [laughs] Shit . Models , come on out . - [laughter] - Um ... ( Adam ) This is new . So obviously , this is a nude body painting challenge . ( woman ) Yeah . Okay . I do n't body-paint . I do n't need this now . - Rob , you all right ? - I 'm all right . [laughter] All right , thank you , models . Why do n't you go ahead and take your places in your habitats ? All right , now , I know body-painting is a difficult task and requires a very specific skill set . So I brought in an expert to give you some advice . He 's an award-winning body-painter whose work has appeared in Playboy and Fangoria . You may also recognize him from season two of Face Off . Please give a warm welcome to Nix Herrera . [cheers_and_applause] Nix knows body-painting so well . I 'm super excited that he 's gon na be giving advice . - How are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All right , so tell these guys what you 've been up to lately . I have a brush line coming out for body-painters , and I 'm getting ready to do some work in Hong Kong . Well , for a lot of special-effects makeup artists , body-painting is way out of their comfort zone . So what advice do you have for these guys to make a beautiful body-painting ? I think the first thing is just remember , you have a full body as your canvas . Take advantage of this opportunity . And insects have a lot of colors . Have fun with it . As a reminder , one of your characters must be a queen , but the other could be anything that you 'd like , even a blend , where your model completely disappears into the landscape . All right , guys , you 'll have 5 1/2 hours for this challenge . Your coaches will be by soon to see how you 're doing , and Nix here will also check in with you in a couple of hours to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ All right , on " Go , " you 'll select your habitat . Make sure that you choose wisely , as your final makeups will be photographed presiding over their kingdoms for the judges to see on the reveal stage . So , Nix , would you like to do the honors ? I would love to . Your time starts now . We all start running through the woods like crazy people looking at the different insect habitats . Jamie , you okay with this ? - I 'm okay with the honey bee . - Cool . - You want ladybug ? - Let 's do it . ( Ben ) You want to do this , European hornet ? - Yeah , or ... - We 're doing it . Do n't have time to think about it . - Let 's just grab it . - Okay . Darla and me pick the jewel beetle because its back is metallic-y greens and blacks and blues , and I 'm seeing pinks and oranges on its stomach . This could be something really , really , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come over , so we meet them , and we just start kind of looking around at our habitat . So we 'll just paint him not to specifically disappear , but to match the wood . ( Darla ) Our concept is to create a insect queen using our female model and then use our male model to create a burned log . I think that 'll look really nice . Liberating walking around in the nude , is n't it ? [woman_laughs] If you were to ask me to devise a challenge that was my worst nightmare , it would be nude body-painting in the forest , ' cause I 've never body-painted before ... Um ... and I 'm gon na have to explain all this to my wife . We 're gon na make you up in probably those colors . We end up getting the cuckoo wasp , and it has a very unique color scheme to it . It 's got greens and blues . It also has red in the abdomen . ( Logan ) She 's the queen protecting the larvae . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really important that this looks good on photo , because that 's all the judges are gon na see . So we really have to make sure that we plan this out perfectly . Something I was thinking of is painting , like , his back , so that it 's , like , the back of her . We choose the European hornet . I have this concept that I really love ... making the female the thorax and the head of the queen and making the male model the abdomen . ( Ben ) Well , I want to blend him right into the background . I 've seen really nice blends , and now that I finally have the opportunity of doing something like that myself , I 'm gon na try my hand at it . If he 's going to be blending into the background , my piece is gon na be the main focus , so she 's got to be pretty freakin ' badass . And maybe turn a little bit more other way . So how I 'm gon na pose her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reds and blacks . I 'm not as in love with it as I was my original concept , but I 'm still gon na make this work . ( Adam ) So it 's the queen of the ladybugs coming out of the leaves , but then she 's giving life to you , and it 's all these larvae returning to the earth . ( Adam ) I picked the ladybug because it 's an insect that we can make read as a ladybug easily . I come up with this take on the famous image of God and Adam touching fingers from the Sistine Chapel . You 're gon na see it , and you 're gon na know exactly what it is . ( Adam ) Do you want me to start blocking her out ? ( Rob ) Yeah , go ahead . I 'm just gon na start laying down the dirt tones on him . I 'm going to take the male model and do the blend work for the ground and the larvae , and he 's gon na start blocking out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ game to this one , because I was in bottom looks last time , and I really need to step it up . - Hello . - Oh , hi . - Hi . - Hey . Laura and Anthony come over to see what Jamie and I are working on . - So you 're doing the honey bee ? - Yes . We 're gon na take our female model , and we 're going to make her into the queen bee , and then we 're gon na take our male model and make him into a drone . We 're gon na just really enhance their natural curves and bring it into the honey bee pattern , then coloring . ( Anthony ) Have you guys thought about your poses ? - Yes , we have a picture . - Oh , okay . ( Laura ) They are going for the feel of a honey bee with high contrasts of black and yellow and white . It 's a little bit more abstract , which is the smart way to go . Ooh , what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Julian ) Yep . ( Logan ) We 're going to have him as actually a larva with sand . ( Laura ) So larva , as in worm ? Yeah , with some kind of pattern on his back . Do you have a picture of the worm ? - No , we don't . - You 're just gon na wing it ? We were planning to . You may want to think about the concept a little bit more . I do n't want you going up there and having to explain to the judges , where they 're gon na be like , " What is that ? " Like , " Oh , that 's a larva . " " What does a larva look like ? " " Oh , we did n't have pictures , so we made it up . " - [inhales_sharply] - Okay . I 'd rather not change our concept right now , but she does actually open my eyes to other possibilities . Could turn him into the thorax . Or you could turn him into the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this bug is in stark contrast to the upper part of the body . I think it would be cool if we put them together to create one bug . We 'll start butt-to-butt . [laughter] Something like that . What do you guys think ? - I think we 're good . - All right . I like that . It 's very straightforward . A lot of people are doing some really creative things . I think you guys are the only ones that are doing - just a straight blend . - Yeah . If the blend falls short , you will probably be the one that could be ... - Going home ? - going home . ( Anthony ) I 'm really worried for Ben and Kelly , especially after seeing everybody else 's concept . The posing that they 're trying to do does n't really tell any story , and their characters do n't interact . I want this composition to be really beautiful , you know ? Well , let 's figure out how those two need to be put together @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comfortable completely changing my entire paint job . I just do n't want to see you guys in trouble . No , I did n't either , but ... Well , changing it halfway through is n't helping , so let 's figure something out . I just ... I just do n't want to see you guys in trouble . Well , changing it halfway through is n't helping . Kelly 's making a queen European hornet , while I 'm working on the camouflage that I want to do , and then Anthony walks in , worried about the direction we 're going in . And I think just shifting a little slightly creates a better composition . All I can really do is try to rotate them around the tree so it 's still utilizing the forms that Ben had already painted , but also make it just slightly more interesting . That is more interesting , ' cause at least it shows some depth . What do you think ? I have no idea , man . We got three hours left . I 'm not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hopefully , that does n't bite me in the long run . ( Anthony ) Just looking out , guys . I 'm just a little concerned about them getting everything finished in time . I do n't want the members of my team on bottom . I do n't want them going anywhere because of a boring concept . ( Kelly ) Thank you . How are you brushing ? Are you patting ? I 'm doing a mixture of both . - You are ? - Patting seems to work . We 're really excited ' cause we both feel a lot better about this concept than the original one . At this point , it 's just on how we execute it . Being that neither of us have actually body-painted , we still are a little bit worried about pulling this off . Yeah , I brush it , and then I pat what needs a little more . So , making him a log and leaves and branches , that 's a lot of work . Stephanie and Darla 's concept is beautiful , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ positions , or is this the first one you tried ? I mean , that was the first one that we got to that made sense . Mm-hmm . I 've already got the base all laid out , but I know I 'm not a strong body-painter . Laura is really great with concept design , so I decide to go with Laura 's suggestion . She 's down . He 's still back here doing this . So our new concept is that we 're going to use our male model to create the wingspan of the beetle . We have leaves that we can ... use . - Okay . - Cool . I get the look of it , but I 'm a little bit nervous about the fact that these are dark , green , opaque leaves , and we 're trying to make translucent wings . - What 's your plan ? - I 'm doing this . And then I 'm gon na stipple tinted latex over it so that I can get the translucency appearance . Look straight , hon . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be really neat to incorporate that pattern onto my queen . It 's risky , because if it 's not done right , it looks ridiculous ' cause it 's so geometric . I 'm nervous , but I feel like I need to make her more interesting , so I 'm gon na try it . I do n't body-paint , so I 'm glad we have Nix as our guest mentor . - Nice to meet you . - Nice to meet you . So what do you guys have going on ? So we picked the ladybug , and we were inspired by classic art . I love it . It 's a great concept . Thank you . With your stuff , you 're getting to the point now where I think it 's getting a little busy . So I think if you crispen up a couple of spots , so there 's a little bit of depth , so it 's not so muddy . Cool . Keep it up . You guys are doing awesome . - All right , thank you so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guys going for here ? ( Emily ) We 're gon na do a queen bee and a drone bee . I love the colors that you have going on . One thing that I found for making the color pop is paint it with white and then airbrush yellow over it . That 'll give it more dimension . - Thanks , Nix . - Good luck , have fun . Thank you . All right , so the head is her head . - Is that right ? - Yep . I like it , and then for all of the shimmery , reflective parts of it , I 'm trying to figure out a way to get that to translate into it , whether or not it 's airbrushing or brighter color , so that it has depth , ' cause right now it 's just a little ... - It 's flat . - Yeah , a little flat . Okay . And you have the European hornet ? - Yeah . - You 're doing the camouflage . I think I just want to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ One of the things that 's gon na be challenging is , because the sun is constantly moving , it 's gon na change the colors of your background . Every once in a while , come back to your spot , photograph it . Yeah , I 'm not gon na keep you much longer , ' cause you have one of the hardest ones to do . - Kelly ? - Hey . - Hi , how you doing ? - Great . You are covered in body paint . Well , it happens . - The hair looks awesome . - Thank you . I think the only thing I 'm a little worried about is how much actual paint you have on the body . - Good luck . - Thank you . He 's actually going to be her wings . Is the color from her gon na translate into him ? ( Stephanie ) Mm-hmm . We want to use metallic airbrush colors just to give it a shimmer . Yeah , try to pop those colors . - There 's iridescent powders . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Yeah , thank you . - Yeah , keep at it . I 'm gon na head out . Good luck , guys . ( both ) Thank you . Just give me a basic shape to work with . I got you . I got you . Adam and I decided to switch off , so I 'm going to add the Kryolan aquacolors to the face , while he 's adding the texture of the larva on the male model . What color lips we going , Adam ? White for the lips . Okay . Have you airbrushed the shiny spots ? I want to make sure Rob and Adam both paint the larva correctly . To make those larvae pop , you have to create a little bit more contrast , and add shiny highlights to make ' em feel like some kind of larva bug . So it 's kind of a dance back and forth where you can see how it starts to look more wormlike . ( Rob ) Mm-hmm . [sighs] Darla 's still working on the wings that we 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ continue painting our female model , and we 're both frantic , trying to finish our makeups . - You doing okay ? - Yeah , I 'm just tired . It 's a rough challenge . Because we spent so much time working on our first concept , I do n't know if we 're gon na have enough time to finish . ( Darla ) I 'm just worried that literally just his arms are showing , and we 're gon na get killed for that . - That 's not good . - Yeah . And it would be me going home . ( Darla ) I 'm not a body painter . This is n't what I do . To know that I could go home for this is really , really frustrating . Literally , just his arms are showing , and we 're gon na get killed for that . Okay , let me start airbrushing . Yeah . I think it 's time to airbrush . Because we spent so much time working on our first concept , I do n't know if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But I 've spent too much time on these wings , so it 's too late to go back . ( Stephanie ) Just need some highlights . Yeah , and then I need to paint the fuck out of these wings . One hour , guys . This is Last Looks . Good luck . See you ma ? ana . Good luck , dude . This is looking really nice . - All right , good luck , guys . - Thanks . I got a lot of shit to do . I want to go in with some more reds and yellows , get cream foundation around the eyes , and just make sure everything is painted . - More yellow ? - Yeah . ( Jamie ) That line ... Yeah , right there . It 's too harsh compared to the rest . We do n't have much to do . We 're just gon na add a little bit more feathering . Jamie and I feel really good about this . That looks cool . ( Rob ) I 've never done hair . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about it . Hey , we can just do this . So I hold my tablet up as a mirror . Thank God for our model to do this to her hair , or we would 've been screwed . We 're running out of time here . Ten minutes , everybody ! You have ten minutes left ! All right , guys , time is up ! I ca n't wait to see your work onstage tomorrow . Go get some rest . [sighs] We 're gon na get some time to work with the photographer to make sure our models are positioned correctly , but unfortunately , we do n't get to see the photos , and I 'm really concerned that our male model in underutilized . So we 're just keeping our fingers crossed that everything looks good , and tomorrow at the reveal stage , we 'll find out . Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage . As you know , one of you will be going home tonight . But before we see your creations , say hello to our series judges . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . - Good evening . - Hello . Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill . - Hey , everybody . - Hey , Ve . And creature and concept designer Neville Page . - Hi , guys . - Hey , Neville . All right , guys , so this week , I changed things up a little bit on you . Your Spotlight Challenge was to create two body-painted characters ... an insect queen and a companion character of your choice . Your creations were photographed in their habitats yesterday , so let 's take a look at the final images . ( Rayce ) I 've lost two contestants in a row , but I still have Adam , Logan , and Rob , and I think all three of these guys have the chops to take it all the way . So I just hope their images stand out onstage . This definitely looks like a complete insect , regal , queenlike character . You almost ca n't tell Armando 's a person under there . I think it looks fantastic . ( Darla ) There 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It looks like the wings are coming out of the female 's neck , instead of back . I 'm really hoping that we 'll be safe . ( Rob ) The light is n't hitting it right . It looks just like a flat image , and the earth tones that I put on there are really muddy-looking . I 'm really worried about this one . ( Emily ) We 're so happy . Like , it just looks the way we wanted it to , so we hope that the judges like it as well . ( Ben ) I 'm starting to notice that there needs to be more darks in certain areas and lights in other areas . I 'm worried about this one . All right , judges , why do n't you take a closer look at the photos ? This is really clever the way they used that second body , I think . So smart . The whole thing is one big illustration . ( Glenn ) There 's a lot of attention paid to creating a false light source , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guess their second person must be the wings , ' cause I can see the hand on the outside . Right . It just feels like it 's an underutilization of that body . I 'm really scared because the wings may look just a little bit too high up , or they 're gon na think that we should 've utilized the male model more . Oh , do n't be too harsh . It 's my first time body-painting . Ugh . This is not good . Tell us who made your favorite body-painting tonight on Twitter , using #FaceOff So I guess their second person must be the wings . ( Stephanie ) I 'm worried because the judges are gon na think that we should 've utilized the male model a little bit more . ( Glenn ) I like the way the wings are painted . I 'm not as crazy about the body paint on the featured performer . You guys understand what we 're looking at there with the second body ? ( Ve ) I do n't know what that second body @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't see it on the rest of the body . - Yeah . - You do n't . Unfortunately , I think the ladybug is dreadful . Wow . This is really pretty . Look at the striations in her legs . I love the additional texture on her shoulders and chest too . The camouflage is successful , but it does n't complement the main figure . ( Ve ) I love the colors , but I feel the fact that they put that black muzzle on her is kind of not a good idea . All right , guys , the judges would like to speak with each of you to find out more about your work . Logan and Julian , please step forward . ( Glenn ) Tell me how your chosen insect inspired you to create this body makeup . I observed that the abdomen had a starkly different color scheme from the upper part of the body and it would be a good opportunity to incorporate the second model in that part of the bug . We had some guidance from the coaches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mainly painted the male model . I predominately took on the female model . I think you were incredibly successful . Thank you very much . This is a brilliant use of the two human forms . I love the paint job . I love the coloration , the iridescence in the legs , so I have to commend you on that . - Thank you very much . - Thank you . I think it 's really a very smart choice , the combination of the bodies , getting that inverse leg with his elbow . Really , really good . - Thank you very much . - Thank you . Logan and Julian , if you please step back . Thanks . Darla and Stephanie , you 're next . Would you please tell us what insect you had and who did what on the character ? We had the jewel beetle . I was focusing primarily on the male model . I fabricated the wings and applied them and painted them . I did most of the painting on the female . ( Ve ) I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's breasts . They 're accentuated , which gives her a more human form than it does an insect form . The jarring thing is really the wing placement , because it starts to feel like it 's more connected to her head , but the graphic design feels good . It 's just some missed opportunities . Thank you . Please step back . All right , let 's talk to Rob and Adam . Tell us how your insect inspired this design . I thought it would be a fun play on visuals to do the Sistine Chapel 's God and Adam . I did the ladybug queen . I outlined the face . Rob came in and did some hard lines on the face . ( Rob ) And then I laid the base coat down for the larva itself . The ladybug does n't feel elegant or queenlike . I just ca n't get away from the face . It has almost a Cowardly Lion , kabuki hybrid going on , and that 's a big problem . So have either one of you been to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , well , you could 've fooled me , because the face on the ladybug looks like a little kid 's painting at a county fair . She 's a queen . You should 've made her beautiful . This is not working for me . Rob and Adam , please step back . Emily and Jamie , please come forward . ( Glenn ) Tell me about the insect you had and how it inspired your makeups . So our insect is a honey bee , and our story behind our queen bee is that one of the drones have fallen in love with her , but she 's kind of giving him ... The buzz-off ? Yeah . [laughter] And division of labor ? Emily focused mainly on the female , and I focused on the male . I think you guys did a great job . The way that you created an insect-y feeling with the broken-up panels , it 's a stunning final image . ( both ) Thank you . Emily , I have to compliment you on this queen . The face makeup is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this show . Really well done . Congratulations . ( both ) Thank you . Emily and Jamie , you can step back . Ben and Kelly , you 're up . Tell us what insect you had and how it inspired your creations . We had the European hornet . My original concept was to integrate the second model to be the abdomen , but Ben was very driven to blend the second model into the background . Now , Ben , how do you think they are as two characters together ? I do n't think they go together . I really wanted to do a camouflage pattern . I felt strongly about it . I have problems with your female . Her face looks very animalistic . It looks more like a muzzle than it is insect-looking . Did you guys work well together on this one ? We pretty much just worked on our own , for the most part . ( Neville ) ' Cause it definitely feels like you guys were doing two separate things that ultimately work independently , but as a unit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as an overall image . I think there 's some good work within it , but here 's the thing about a team challenge ... it requires teamwork to succeed . Thank you . You can step down . All right , please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate . Let 's talk about this week 's makeups . Why do n't we start with Logan and Julian ? ( Ve ) I love the makeup . Really good integration of the second character , using it as the abdomen for the wasp . I think Logan 's paint job was absolutely gorgeous on that . They knocked it out of the park for me . The thing that impressed me the most was the fact that they had addressed every square inch on both bodies . It actually looked like exoskeleton plating . All right , judges , let 's move on to Darla and Stephanie . ( Glenn ) This is in the middle for me , because it just did n't quite get there , but it is not a total failure . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ superb . I felt that they did n't take advantage of their second model . I saw it as lost opportunity . They highlighted the whole bosom area , which was a mistake , because that said human right there . All right , let 's move on to Emily and Jamie . ( Neville ) It 's the graphic design of this that makes it so beautiful . ( Glenn ) I really like the composition of their photograph , and I like their story . The queen is gorgeous . ( Neville ) And Jamie 's execution felt appropriate for a drone worker bee . Judges , let 's move on to Rob and Adam . ( Glenn ) Rob 's responsible for that hard line graphic to the face , which is the biggest problem . And it could have been pretty , but this was just a hokey-dokey paint job . All right , judges , let 's move on to Ben and Kelly . ( Ve ) She painted a black muzzle on this thing , which gave it an animalistic look . ( Glenn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't know that I needed to see it . ( Neville ) He came into it adamant that he was doing camouflage . This was not a team challenge for them . All right , judges , have you made your decisions ? Yes , we have . Okay , let 's bring ' em back out . All right , Glenn , tell us about tonight 's top teams . Logan and Julian , you did a great job with your color palette , and we love the unconventional choice to turn your two models into one . Emily and Jamie , we thought you achieved some truly beautiful forms , particularly on the queen , and your partnership produced a striking final image . All right , Glenn , which team came out on top ? The top team tonight is ... So , Glenn , which team came out on top ? The top team tonight is ... Logan and Julian . [applause] The way that you used your models as one is something that could 've gone really wrong , but you managed it incredibly well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Well done . - Thanks very much . Thank you . Logan and Julian , excellent work , but as you know , we can only have one winner . Glenn ? The winner of tonight 's challenge is ... Logan . [applause] Good job , buddy . There was a lot of great stuff going on in your image , but it was the queen that was the standout . I appreciate it . I win the body-painting challenge , and I 've never done it before in my life . If I can do a body-painting challenge and win , then I think I can do just about any challenge on the show and win . All right , Logan , you , Julian , Emily , Jamie , and Darla and Stephanie are all safe and can head back to the makeup room along with the coaches . - Seriously ? - Oh , shit . Okay . That means the rest of you are on the bottom this week , and one of you will be going home . If you 'll please step forward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bottom teams . Adam and Rob , we loved some of the finer details , but the broader graphic design was flawed . Ben and Kelly , there were redeeming elements of your makeups , but your poor teamwork showed in the image presented to us this evening . So who is going home tonight ? The person going home tonight is ... ? ? Rob . While you did n't do anything horrific , we had a really hard time distinguishing any standout contribution of yours in these creations . Okay . Rob , I 'm so sorry , but you have been eliminated . That means Adam , Kelly , and Ben , you guys are all safe this week and can head back to the makeup room . **26;9502;TOOLONG Rob , I know you guys are better than what you presented us , so I really look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future , and good luck , darling . Thank you so much . Rob , it 's been so great having you here with us , but if you 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your kit . Thanks , guys , really appreciate it . ( both ) Good luck , Rob . ( Rob ) Yeah , I 'm a little surprised . You know , for being my first body-paint , I think it was a great job . - Oh ! - No , Rob . - What ? - Yeah . My family is my life , and it 's hard because I wanted to win it for them , but they 're gon na be really proud of me for what I did . It 's been a blast . I 've done a lot of things I 'm happy with . I 've met a lot of great people , and I do n't regret a thing .

@@5246241 Previously on The Originals ... INADU : You will give me a safe place to hide . When you die , so too does your entire sire line . The great sacrifice , which will return me to flesh and blood . FREYA : If Elijah is going to die one way or another , then I can try placing his soul inside the pendant . Get Elijah into the pendant ! - [yells] - Hurry , she 's killing him ! FREYA : Animam suam . I can feel him ! [urgent_chanting] She 's taken Elijah 's power . The Hollow will be reborn . My brother 's soul is in that pendant . We need to bring him back . His original body is where he belongs . And now that his mind is stable within the pendant , I can bring him back , I just ... need a large enough sacrifice . You 're thinking what I 'm thinking . Kill the Hollow , save our brother . Do me a favor and watch yourself . What if I told you I could bring Davina back to life ? - Are you really back ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So , if you want to keep her safe , then you belong to me . Davina ? DAVINA : I 'm right here . [sighs] Oh , for a moment , I thought ... It 's okay . I 'm still me . Flesh and blood , alive , for now . And linked to that monster . I promise , I 'm gon na find a way out of this for you . She was powerful enough to bring me back from the dead . Kol , you have no idea what we 're up against . Has n't stopped me before . Stay here . I 'll be back as soon as I can . Wait , you 're leaving ? Kol , we might not have much time together . Losing you broke me . I will not stand around and let it happen again . The Hollow has to be killed . And if she dies , then I die . And what 's the alternative , you help her ? You ca n't betray your family . That 's kind of my specialty . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I asked for some time alone with her before you use me to do your dirty work . You have been dead 1,500 years , surely you can spare an hour . Every second counts if you want Davina to continue breathing . What is it that you need , then ? Am I to handle your errands ? Or your laundry ? It 's actually quite simple . I have long wanted to be mortal , but now that I am alive , I can die . In fact , your own family is relentless in their quest to kill me . Look , if you want me to put in a good word , that ship has sailed , darling . I have my own protection spell , cast in the form of a totem . You will safeguard my totem , until I 'm done with your family . If you falter , if any harm comes my way , Davina will suffer with me . The Hollow , she 's getting stronger . You can sense her ? When we first got here , there was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since she came back , it 's so quiet . Like she 's draining everything out of the city . She already took Uncle Elijah . And soon she will come for the rest of us . Listen , Hope , I know you 're scared . But over the years , a lot of bad people have stood against our family , and all of them have fallen . The Hollow is no different . No , she is different . ? ? [crackling] [crackling] [crackling] FREYA : Despite the spell I cast , the very integrity of the pendant is growing unstable . It wo n't be able to hold Elijah 's soul much longer . We need to find a way to resurrect him tonight , or we could lose him forever . To do that , we 'll need more power . Let me guess , a grand sacrifice . I say we kill our enemy and sacrifice her , then I can channel the power from the Hollow 's death , raise Elijah 's body , and place him back where he belongs . - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ close . Labonair blood is her Achilles ' heel . Hayley , your blood weakened her , but you 've technically been dead for years . So it wo n't be strong enough to kill her . If we forge a blade using the blood of the last living Labonair ... We do n't want Hope involved . FREYA : She 's already involved . Hope has been obsessed with the symbol that follows the Hollow : the serpent consuming itself . Now , I believe this is showing us the key , the only means to which she can be destroyed , her own blood . The Hollow 's one end of the Labonair bloodline . Hope is the other . And we need to close that loop . The best way to do that is for Hayley to wield a weapon forged with Hope 's blood . When she stabs her , it 's only then the Hollow can be obliterated completely . Then we make it work . I 'll talk to Hope . Well , hey there . Uh , it 's me again . Hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You know , I really would love to talk to you about a few ... hundred things . Like how Eddie uses this weird baby voice anytime he says " hi " to a random dog . I do n't know , might be a deal breaker . [chuckles] Or how I finally watched Practical Magic . And you were right . Perfect movie . Or , you know ... how freakin ' much I still miss you . I miss her , too . Hey . Next time , we should carpool . Actually , I 'm looking for Vincent . He said he 'd find a cure for Sofya , but he 's been M.I.A . Have you seen him ? No . What , you want some help finding him ? No . No , but if you see him , why do n't you call me . FREYA : Dauha naer do smrti . Dauha naer do smrti . Dauha naer do smrti . That 's a rather odd locator spell . I 'm trying to trace the Hollow 's magic . Almost have it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the LaForge House . At one time , it was the center of high society , but that all changed when Dr . LaForge tortured and killed his friends and family . Claimed until his dying day that an evil spirit made him do it . That house has been derelict since . The perfect lair for someone who relishes tragedy . [sizzling_continues] REBEKAH : What 's that ? If the serpent at the LaForge House represents the Hollow herself , then this must be some sort of totem she 's using to magnify her power and protect herself . Dahlia used to use these when she was up to something particularly awful . It will render the Hollow unkillable . We will have to destroy it before we can face her . Lovely . I could do with some fresh air . And some fresh blood . Take the map . It 's been spelled to track the totem . Do n't go alone . One step ahead of you , sis . KOL : Hey , Bex . What 's up ? Someone 's floating around with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say you help me track down and exterminate this scoundrel ? I 'd like nothing better . Perfect . [birds_chirping] ? ? You 're not seriously going in there alone , are you ? Why not ? As far as threats go , the only person with the means to kill me is lurking right out here . I 'm not a threat to you , the Hollow , on the other hand , is . The Hollow 's got some acolyte protecting a totem that magnifies her power , making her unkillable . Trouble is , we have to end this tonight . Hayley 's got the means . I just need to make sure she 's vulnerable . Kol 's coming to watch my back , so you can just scamper off . What kind of gentlemen would I be if I did n't offer to escort you ? You 're the king of this city . Ca n't you condemn this dump ? How about we skip the criticism and just focus on what we 're looking for ? KOL : Totem 's not here . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You were supposed to wait for me . Well , I got bored . And it looks like you got accosted by the local riffraff . Oh , you got a problem ? Get over yourselves . All right ? The map says that the totem is still here , so it must be hidden somewhere in this hovel . Look , if you do n't trust me , help yourself . Come on in . [barrier_hums] What ... What the hell , Kol ? A dark object ? Really ? Kol , you better undo this right now . I 'm sorry , Rebekah . I truly am . Why are you helping her ? What has she done to you ? I do n't want to . Are you scared it 's gon na hurt ? I 'm scared if I do this , you 're gon na pick a fight . And the Hollow , she can hurt you . I know you 're scared . I wish we did n't have to have this conversation . When I was your age , I had to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to deal with either . I did n't want that for you , but here we are . The thing is , sometimes you have to do things that you do n't want to do because you 're the only one that can do them . Like you . Like me . Okay . [sighs_softly] Rebekah 's not answering . Neither is Kol . The sooner we end this the better . No . We have to assume that Inadu 's totem is still intact . We can not attack her until we destroy it . Go after Rebekah , find the totem . I 'm not leaving Hayley alone . We 're out of time . The cracks are getting worse . I need you to destroy the totem . I 'll go with Hayley . And what about Hope ? Compel her a nanny . We do n't have another choice . You 're the best advantage we got . Be fast , be brutal , destroy the totem , or we 're dead . Here . For you and Hayley tonight . Anoint these with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well . You should destroy this . Hayley could die . And why is her life more important than yours ? I ca n't take a little girl 's mother away from her , Kol . All right , then we just have to find another way to get you out of this . Because there is no way I 'm letting you go . I 've been thinking , Elijah once gave me one of your mother 's spells . It used to break a magical link . I 'm too weak right now , but if we could find a coven to counter Inadu 's spell , then ... No , I know the spell . And we do n't need a coven , we just need one powerful little witch . [keys_jingle] I have a car in the lot out back . If I 'm not back by midnight , you take it and you go . Wait , without you ? What ... Are you kidding ? What are you doing ? Davina , I 'm not asking . I need you to do this . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's blood . One for each of us . Once the totem is destroyed , we can sacrifice the Hollow . Are you okay ? Yeah . [chuckles_softly] I never thought twice about fighting or dying for family before . But now , with Keelin ... Now you have someone you 're afraid you 're not gon na make it home to . You will make it home , Freya . I got your back . Hayley . I know we have n't always seen eye-to-eye , but ... well , I suppose family rarely does . [door_creaks] [door_slams] I guess she knows we 're here . ? ? [door_creaks] [neck_snaps] [groans_softly] [grunts] There you are . Jackson ? Been waiting for you . How am I here ? How are you here ? I 'm no expert , but I 'm guessing you 're going through some kind of psychological break right now . You 've been through hell . So your mind took you somewhere peaceful , Honestly , I 'm flattered you thought of me . Figured your happy place would be somewhere with Elijah . So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wake up . I know . I know . I 'm on your side . We 'll get you back in the fight , before the Hollow finishes whatever she started . Hey , buddy . Are my mom and dad back ? Not quite . Hey , you know what I used to do , when I was bored at your age ? Magic . I 'm not supposed to do magic with strangers . What ? I-I 'm family . So why did you go away ? I went away because I was sad . And I thought I 'd never be happy again . And I did n't want to make everybody that I loved around me sad , too . [gasping_softly] Hayley ? FREYA : Hayley ? Hayley ? No . More wolfsbane . I want her alive , but barely . She still has a part to play . No . No , no , no . You were supposed to be ... This is n't real . No , you ca n't be dead . You are n't dead . Not yet . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your precious Sonya . Sofya . Apologies . I ca n't be expected to remember the names of wanton trollops . Listen , I 'm gon na ask you nicely to shut the hell up about her . You know what ? Why do n't we just burn the house down ? Oh , do n't be so dramatic . Dramatic ? I 'm not running late for a manicure , Marcel . Time is running out to resurrect Elijah , Hayley 's on a suicide mission , and I ca n't lose anyone else I love . I have reached my quota of heartbreak for the year . Rebekah ... How ironic . Two of the world 's most powerful beings trapped in a magical butterfly net . Tell me you were n't overwhelmed by some brain-dead witch . No , our biggest mistake was trusting Kol - for one second of his life . - What ? Kol is protecting the totem for the Hollow . Who knows why , or what she offered him . I do n't care what she offered him . Where is he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to snap out of this . If I do n't , we could lose Elijah forever . Is he good to you ? Hey , talk to me . It ai n't gon na kill me . He has been good to me . But when I fell for him , I was scared of Klaus , of ... being a mom , and he made me feel safe . But now , I ... Well , if you wanted safety , you would 've loved me . I chose you . I married you . But you were in love with him . [scoffs] I mean , it 's an old , sad story . The monsters treated you like crap , turned you into a girl who loves monsters . You 're not helping me . You 're stalling me . [grunts] [laughs] No . [laughs] Oh , you 're not you . You 're the Hollow . [grunts] [grunting] [groans] [magic_hums] You 're wasting your energy . You 're a vision . You ca n't hurt me . [chuckles] You still do n't get it , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can possibly imagine . [grunts] [groans] , gasps Suppose your girlfriend wo n't be happy that you spent the entire day with me . Sofya has n't woken since the Hollow invaded her mind . You could at least feign sympathy . Why ? She shot me . Multiple times . Is that really the reason why you hate her so much ? [chuckles] Okay . [lighter_clicking] What the hell are you doing ? The main gas line 's got to be down here . At least it 'll help torch the place faster , unless you prefer a slow burn . Thought you wanted to wait it out . [gas_hissing] Do you ? If I untie this knot ... your girlfriend will be free from the Hollow ? I hope so . And you really love her ? Yes . Kind of like your mom loves , uh ... Uncle Elijah . You are miraculously well-adjusted . [grunts] [panting] Why are you doing this ? [grunts] All I ever wanted was to protect you ! [laughs] : And now you 're gon na die here . - No . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stronger , then ... You 're not here . [chuckles] I 'm always here . This is the vision of me that keeps you up at night , the fear of what you know to be inevitable . [grunting] All right . Focus on the knot , luv . It 's very important , and I 'll be right back . I imagine right now you 're rather cross with me . You should know I have my reasons . Rebekah suggested I hear them . I 'd rather rip out your vocal chords . [groans] ? ? Hey , sorry , we 're closed . Well , maybe you can make an exception . Davina ? I do n't know how long I have , but I had to see you to thank you . Wh-What do you mean ? Thank me ? For what ? For visiting me . And for talking to me . You heard it ? Y-You were there . Josh , I was always there . [chuckles] Now stop and listen . I did what I did for Davina . The Hollow brought her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need a bloody second to set her free . [grunts] Lovesick imbecile . The Hollow preys upon your weakness . She raised Davina to get you to betray your family , and you , pathetic as you are , leapt at the chance . Our family owes Davina that much . I owe nothing to her . Nor to you . JACKSON : You saw it : the violence , the rage . [groans] That 's what he is . You fell for the suit , Hayley . You were blinded by his charade . You 're not Jackson , and you do n't deserve to wear his face . [grunting] - [grunts] - [shouts] You 're right . Jackson was good . [groans] , wheezes And me ... [panting] [chokes] well , I was never good . [groans] No , Nik , please . Hayley . Hey . Are you all right ? Did Klaus break the totem ? I hope so . But we ca n't wait . You need to stab the Hollow . You think you 'll be strong enough ? Let 's do this . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I just need to know she 's alive . Please , grant me this small mercy . Mercy is a privilege reserved for family . Your status has been revoked . Brother , no ! Please ! For a thousand years , I 've never experienced love or peace . Davina changed me . [grunts] What if it was Camille ? What if it could bring her back ? ! Would you not do as I did ? ! [grunting] INADU : Cencahua ezhuia . Cencahua ezhuia . Cencahua ezhuia . Cencahua ezhuia . Cuauhtzicoa calpanpilli . Cuauhtzicoa calpanpilli . [door_opens] [shouts] First , - I will break your body . - [groans] Then I will break your spirit . Your spirit is nearly broken already , is n't it ? [groans] Hey , what 's wrong ? [groaning] Do it . No . No ! [shouting] That 's enough ! That 's enough ! She 's gone . She 's gone . [both_panting] ? ? @siren_wailing , emergencyhornhonking Are you all right ? You know how I love to blow things up . Good night . We were in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fires to avoid each other . All right , what the hell happened ? I woke up from a dagger nap to find you trying to kill everyone that I love . Your brother ripped my heart out and then tossed my body off a bridge . And I did n't even see you crying . I mourned the man I thought I knew . Well , I 'm sorry , I must have missed that while you were trying to curse me . I asked you to leave with me ! Seven years ago , I asked you . But you did n't love me as much as you love New Orleans . All right , I do love New Orleans , all right , I do . And I watched it burn to the ground for you once before , Rebekah . And then I waited a century ... and you did n't even come back for me . So you just forgot about me ? You know , it 's probably best if you just do that again . Yeah , you know what , I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agree more . Yeah . ? ? [whispers] : Damn it . ? You 're a bow and arrow ? ? A broken guitar ? ? While the rainwater washes away who you are ? ? We go over the mountains ... ? If Klaus got to him ... Then you have to leave anyway . ? Over the mountains ... ? Davina , you almost died back there . ? You 're a bow and arrow ... ? Look , you remember the first day we met ? You told me you wanted to be normal . You said " normal 's relative . " Yeah , well , you 're a twice-resurrected Harvest Girl with an Original vampire boyfriend . Normal 's always gon na be relative . But with or without him , you have to take this chance . You deserve it . I ca n't just leave him . KOL : Well , that sounds like a broken promise . ? And I want you to close my eyes ... ? I thought that you were daggered , or worse . I caught Klaus in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long . Are you ready to go ? Anywhere . Anywhere ? Everywhere . ? I want you to hold my hands ... ? Thank you . ? Over my heart ... ? I love you . ? I want you to close my eyes ... ? I love you , too . ? When it grows dark ... ? Now get out of here . Go . ? A broken guitar ? ? While the rainwater washes away who you are ? ? We go over the mountains ? ? And under the stars ? ? We go over the mountains ? ? And under the stars . ? Hayley asked me to give you the knife . She 's not going to be here for when Elijah wakes ? She said there was something she had to do . Oh , well , you know as well as anyone how the Hollow meddles in your mind , clawing at your oldest wounds , making them new again .

@@5247041 Hello ? Yes , I just showed up . Yeah , I found it . I know what to do . Okay . Yes , Mrs. May , I 'm going in . Here I go again . This is sad . Okay . So here 's the story . You 're probably asking yourself why I 'm back here . Well there 's yet another new owner of the home . Her name is Emily May . Mrs. May knows the history of the house and has hired me to come in and cleanse it , get rid of any ghosts or demons that are in here . And that 's the real mystery . I thought the house was free of any evil spirits several times , but somehow they keep coming back or new ones show up . Why , that 's what I aim to find out . For some reason , evil is attracted to this house . So here I am , Tom Riley , paranormal investigator , tasked with making this house suitable for Mrs. May and her family . Where do I start ? Okay , let me check out these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ camera ? Alright , I 've been hanging out outside this house for the past hour and I 've been monitoring the cameras on the iPad and I do n't see anything happening in there . So I know you think I 'm crazy , but I really need the money this lady 's paying me so I 'm going back in there . Alright , the basement 's all quiet , so whatever burst through that door is n't here right now , at least I hope not . But I discovered two very strange things . Number one , there 's a fire that was , it 's burning out , but it was recently active in the wood stove . But even more mysterious , in all the times I 've been in this houseI 've never noticed this room over here . Fucking smell in here . Somebody 's been living here . That must be who busted through the door trying to scare me away . Oh . No doubt , that 's their fucking shit bucket . Oh no , what is that ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no , no , please . No , please . It 's a fucking doll . Look at this ugly little bitch . What , huh ? Where did ? Now things are getting really creepy . The ghost meter . Alright , let 's see you do your job . Nothing . Nothing at all , which is exactly what we want . Set that over there . What the fuck ! What the . Where 'd you go ? I know you 're down here . Alright so two hours ago I was in this house and everything seemed calm . Then the door got busted off . Then I waited an hour , I came back in , I used the ghost meter , everything seemed calm . I have no idea how these things are getting back in this house , but it 's apparent things are heating up and I got ta find a way to get rid of these things going on here because I need the money this lady 's paying me . So what I 'll keep doing isI 'll keep looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find out and dealing with it . So I do n't know what to expect next . So I 'm just gon na keep alert . I do n't know what exactly I 'm gon na do but I 've been through this before , I know how to handle it , I 'm not scared , I 'll do it again . God damn it ! Shit 's too much ! Yeah , shit 's heating up alright . What the hell ? Damn it . Ow , fuck ! Alright . Okay . Ghosts , demons , whatever 's in this house , I 'm not fooling around with you this time . I 'm getting right to the point , what is supposed to drive you out of here ? Do not perform unless you are a canonized Catholic priest . Oh well , words are words . The power of Christ compels you . Jesus Christ . I 'm gon na die . I 'm sitting here waiting for power to come back on in the house so I can get out there and see what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not easy . Doing it in the light is n't easy , but anyway , I 'm waiting for power to come back on . I have to get rid of whatever 's in this house . I have to find out how it 's coming back after it 's gone . I do n't understand that . How did I go from several years ago having a ton of money in the bank , my entire life savings , to buying this house and losing it and now working for the new owner and I 'm sitting here locked in the laundry room on the first floor , waiting for a light to come back on . I ought a just walk away from this thing but I need this freaking money . Fuck . Give me that knife , you bitch . I am not making any progress . God damn it . Where 'd you go ? Hello ? I 'm down here in this creepy ass basement and after what happened with the dollsI ran upstairs to get this ghost meter and I came down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open . I must be out of my fucking mind but I came down here looking for them . I ca n't find them anywhere in here and they 're not in that other room I found and the ghost meter was active when I started coming down the steps , then it went dead . Jesus Christ , this fucking house of horrors ! Hey ! Come back here ! Come here ! Come here ! Alright now , you and I are going to have a talk . This has been going on , look at me , this has been going on far too long . Where 's your sister , driving around ? I 've got to document this . I do n't know who 's inside of you , what spirit or demon , but I 've got ta tell you this has gotten out of control and I have to get you out of this house . So whatever spirit is inside of you , I command you to leave and if you don'tI 'm going to throw you in that fire downstairs and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no , no ! Oh God damn it . So , that 's a claw mark . That 's like a claw mark . I 'm playing with dolls . I told her nobody 's going to help her . In comes some demonic force . Smacks me down , at least for the moment it seems to be subdued . And I 've got a claw mark , a hand print of Satan on my face . This is just great . How am I gon na handle this ? I need this fucking money , God damn it . If I did n't need this moneyI would n't even be here , let her deal with it herself . But I am here and I need this . Man up . Nothing . Nothing . This meter is picking up nothing . It 's like this what , these forces just come and go as they please . There 's nothing . A couple minutes ago I 'm attacked by some who knows what . I got some doll running around the house , another one driving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the house , make yourself known . Whoa . What the hell is this ? Some old painting . There 's something inside of here . You 're shitting me . What the hell is this ? Why was this hidden behind this photo ? This is a book from the Leeds family . And this crest here matches this exactly . This is like an instruction book for this house . It mentions evil , ghosts , spirits . This earmarked page , I am so lonely , I let them in , I let them in , I let them in , written over and over again . Talks about how to deal with demons . This , this is gon na be real interesting . So this book is just the book , this is the book on witchcraft and spells and demonology and all that that I 've been using . This book however , is the specific book about this house . It mentions everything from the history of when the witch coven used to perform here , the rituals years , decades before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demon that 's leading these people , not to antagonize him but the commander of the 30 legions , his name is Andras . Christ ! What in the mother of all fucks was that ? What the fuck ? Where did she get off to ? God damn it . Hello ? I got ta be out of my fucking mind . Hello ? Fuck me . Play time 's over , ladies . Okay , alright , showtime is running short if I 'm going to complete my goal here for Mrs. May and get paid . I went , the book taught me a lot and I went looking for around the house and found this which is vital to getting the answer to an important question I need to deal with what 's in this house or to rid this house of any sort of evil . The book tells me I need to find out how many forcesI 'm dealing with in the house that have come through the portal and the portal 's what I 'm going to look for next , but first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ghosts , whatever I 'm dealing with here in this house , whichI know of two specifically which have taken possession of the dolls , which by the way you 'll see there I have chained up and they 're chained to the pipe that runs along the wood behind the wood rack there . So anyway what I 'm going , and I know you 're not supposed to play this game . I do n't consider this playing a game , but I know you 're not supposed to , according to the instructions , use this Ouija board alone . But I do n't have anybody else here and I ca n't get anybody else here . So the specific question the book talks about me asking isOuija board , how many malevolent forces are in the house now ? So , here we go . Ouija board , hello ? Okay , Ouija board , how many evil or malevolent forces , how many non-human spirits or evil forces are in the house now ? No , no , no , do n't go up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Nine ? There 's nine I have to deal with ? What the fuck ? Do I have to deal with nine ? Alright , it 's going towards yes . So apparently there 's nine evil forcesI have to deal with in getting out of this house before I can consider it clean . So the fact is , it saysI have to catch them and I have to bind them and then send them back through the portal . Well I 've bound two of them but it says I have to send them through this portal that 's in the house . Now , where the fuck is this portal ? I 've been over every square inch of this house . I 'm looking through this book . It gives no indication of the portal , shows a tree . But there 's a page missing out of this book that I 'll have to find . Anyway what I 'm going to try to do is I 'm going to try to ask the Ouija board where this portal is so that I can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Where the fuck ? Okay , I got two of you , seven more to go . Fight 's on , let 's go , bring it . Listen , I need this money . I need to get rid of you . You need to get the fuck out of this house and this book 's going to tell me how to do it . Oh fucking shit . Fuck my life . Fucking mess . Alright , let me try and figure out how to locate these fuckers . I got two of yous , seven to go . Okay , do not say his name aloud . Yeah , no shit . They will try to distract you , stay focused . To locate the demons and ghosts do the following , say aloud , priests only . Stay focused , stay focused . Ghosts , demons , malevolent spirits , in the name of Saint Michael I command you to make your presence known . They will try to distract you , stay focused . I command you in the name of Saint Michael to make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , these are the voodoo dolls . But there 's one , two . I guess this is three and four . Do you count as one or four ? Fuck . Hello ? Hello ? What the fuck ! What the fuck are you ? Stop it . Stop it . Fuck , fucking stale . Stop it . Ow ! Ow , fuck ! Make sure to keep a firm grip on everything . They will try to , whoa ! Do n't do it , come back here , come back here . Okay , this is Tom Riley , paranormal investigator , trying to earn a few bucks . But anyway , I 'm finally making some progress . You 'll see , I 've got the dolls chained up and locked up and I 've got the voodoo dolls tied to them . So what I do n't know , there 's four voodoo dolls and the two dolls . Each of the dolls is possessed by something , so that 's two . I do n't know if the voodoo dolls count as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ individual entities or one entity . So I 've either got three of the nine malevolent forces captured or I 've got possibly as many as six of the nine . So that means there 's three more . So everything , once it 's down here , this freaking fire 's still burning , I do n't know what is putting logs in it and keeping it going , but here it is . As far as figuring out whether this counts as three or six spirits , malevolent forces , I need to find that Ouija board or that missing page from my book . So anyway , let me get going , whoa ! Fuck ! I tripped over that fucking stool . What the fuck is that noise ? Get away from me ! Son of a bitch ! Fucking somebody help me ! Fuck , this may be the last moment I 'm ever seen alive again . I thought you were dead . Fuck . What the fuck ! Well , this is the next one and I know exactly where you 're going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feel like having you guys fucking shit up . I got the dolls from up there but I do n't remember if the ashes were still up there . Okay , phone 's recording in Tom Riley 's continued documentation of , the Ouija board . That 's just what I 've been looking for . And yes , those ashes are still up here . Be careful I do n't break my ass here . Where 's the Ouija ? You know what , let me set this camera down . Tripod and get over here , let 's see . That looks like the outline , there it is . The Ouija board . Now I can get some answersI 've been looking for . What 's , no , this is the missing page from the journal . The nine demons lured here by witches , and this is the dolls , which I 've got . This one , and all their names are on here , this one is Yoko Ono or Yuki Ana . Ar-dat Lilly , associated with children . Well , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the voodoo dolls . They are n't four , shit , they 're not four separate demons , they 're one , a lee-gos . Made , what 's this say ? Made to represent , I do n't know . Oh , they were made to represent former humans in the house , like voodoo dolls , but now occupied by demons . The Crescent Moon Clown is the demon Pay-ma . Full of energy and loud noises , colorful , bright lights make active . Yeah , they sure do . The music box , I have n't seen that , Mal-pess . I do n't know what that word is , but reveals secrets of enemies . The ashes , which are here , are the demon Came . So these are actually possessed by a demon , which is what tried to hide this from me . Yeah , well that did n't work too good , did it ? The vacated ashes of humans that used to occupy house . Demons are in the ashes now . The Ouija board , the communicator , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's , that looks like what was chasing me . This name here , whichI 'm also not gon na say , is President of theHigh Council of Demons , rules the portal , king of fire , rules the portal for the underworld , it 's the king of fire , look for fire . This is the missing page , so now I know the individual names of the demons . Let me ask you a question , Ouija board , where is this portal ? Okay , let 's do this this way . Ouija board , where is this portal ? Come on , come on , do something . Ouija board , where is this portal ? Oh , give me a break , let 's try it this way . This worked before . Ouija board , where is this portal ? Fuck , let me go get something to clean this up . And take with me . I 'll be back in a . Okay , I got a dustpan here . What the fuck ? It worked , it spelled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ E , what 's that spell ? V-O-T-E-S , votes ? Votes , what the fuck does that mean ? Anyway , let me clean this up . Fuck . What the fuck ? Where did they go ? What the fuck ? I 'm not going forward here , I 'm going backwards ! Where the fuck is this portal ? Votes , votes , what the fuck does votes mean ? King of fire ? Fire , votes , the Ouija board did n't spell out votes , it spelled out stove , it 's the wood stove ! Okay , so here I 've set up the iPad because in searching around here , hang on , I want to have this tripod . In searching around down here , here 's the fireplace , which is like this eternal flame that 's always burning , so I 'm looking for the way in that the evil keeps getting in the house and of all the times I 've been down here , I never looked back here , but here behind the wood stove is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phone up in my holder here on the tripod so I can show you this . Now , outside is the other side of this wall , but here you see a tunnel . I 'm gon na keep the iPad running over there so that you can see me , see what 's happening here . The camera in the basement is broken , so that 's not filming anything so I ca n't look and see anything coming in and out of here nor can I take a see at what 's feeding this fire , but anyway I 'm gon na put my fat ass through that small hole and I 'm gon na take my iPhone with me and record what 's going on on the other side and hopefully I come back . Man , that thing 's flaring up . So it 's , uh , it 's cold in the tunnel , so I 'm going to go through there and here I go . Jesus . Well here I go . What the fuck am I doing ? I have no idea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Well that door is still open . Well , here we go . Fuck . I do n't know where I am but the absolute feeling of dread and evil is unreal . Do you hear that ? Now let me put this camera on the tripod so that I can , is that on there ? Okay . So anyway , this is the doorI just came through from the house . This has got to be the way that evil is coming and going into the house and here 's what 's even crazier , this tunnel I just climbed through , there is no tunnel . But when I open the door , you can see the tunnel . No tunnel . So anyway , I 'm going back through here to get back to the house but this is the way that evil 's been getting in and out of the house and if I can seal this , no more evil coming in and out of the house . Anyway , that 's part of the plan . Oh shoot , what am I closing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's gon na feel pretty good after being out here but I 'm gon na have to get these things to come back through this door and then seal it with them inside . Probably the only guy on Earth that 's ever been in hell and come back or whatever the fuck that was . Alright , here we go , I can squeeze out behind this fucking stove . Fuck . Alright . So for now , I 'm gon na find a lock . So for now , I 'm gon na try to find a lock and lock that but I 'm shutting all this shit off because I 'm wet and I 'm cold . I found it , that has got to be the way in , alright . Okay , I had to get out of that house and get a break . So I came out here to walk in the woods a little bit behind the house , just to relax . It 's loud out here , crickets and all . But I 've got my phone on the tripod @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I must be nuts , but I just had to get out of that house . I have no idea how I 'm going to recapture these things and get them through that portal , but I 'm gon na have to . So I 'm walking back here . The quiet is deafening , the insects . Anyway . So I 'm just back here . Back here near where the grave was of Ben behind the house . Try to gather my thoughts out here in the fresh air . Trying to figure out , oh the motion sensor light 's on , that 's what 's up there . Trying to figure out how I 'm gon na capture these demons and move on , it seems like every step forward I take , I take two steps backwards , so I do n't know where I 'm gon na go from . Did you see that ? It 's the dolls . Do you hear the music box ? It 's like they 're taunting me . They 're right there . I know who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through that portal . No , no , no ! No , fuck . Where the fuck did it go ? Where did it go ? Oh , I do n't need this bullshit . What am I doing out here ? I should be home finishing that book by Kellen Geneva , Red Oak Lane . Such a good book but here I am . Sorry , whenever I 'm nervous , I babble . Where the fuck did this thing go ? I 'm gon na go deal with this fucking thing . I 'm gon na go deal with him right now . Okay , let 's get this done . This is it . I 'm running out of time . I had no idea this was gon na be this tough . I should 've let Mrs. May hire those paranormal investigator hacks from Minnesota , Matt and Amanda Lamm-Hoffman . But no , I had to be a big shot and tell her I could do this . What was I thinking ? Jesus Christ , what was that ? Hello ? Oh shit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Got you . I got ta get all of you now . Got three of yous . Okay , here we go , using my trusty iPad .

Well , we do n't have a priest , so I 'm doing it , so here goes . Demons , I cast you out . Every unclean spirit . Every Satanic power . Every infernal adversary . Every legion .

It appears your neighbors have been hearing unusual noises coming from your home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night . Oh , God . Oh , God , this is embarrassing . I , um ... I 've recently changed my medications , and you see , I 've , um ... I 'm still getting adjusted . I apologize for that . No , no , it 's okay . No need to apologize . Loneliness can make us do strange things . Well , I can guarantee I will do my best to make sure these ... unusual noises end . Thank you so much stopping by , Detective Siegel . It 's so thoughtful of you . Goodbye . Do you mind if I just take a look at that leak ? I 'm sorry ? This leak here . How long has this been going on for ? Um , I do n't know . When was the last time any maintenance was done on the house ? Oh , I do n't know . My grandparents were the ones taking care of the maintenance . You 'll have to excuse me . I 'm just ... I 'm still in mourning . My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they passed together and so suddenly . Oh ! Do n't worry about that . I 've got it . I ... I 'll get it . I remember these two . You girls were inseparable . Whatever happened to them ? Well , I do n't know . You do n't keep in touch ? No . Really ? Why not ? My grandparents believed them to be a poor influence on me . Yes , of course . They were on a TV show not too long ago . Did you see it ? No . I did n't grow up with television . It 's odd though , do n't you think ? After all this time , not a single phone call or an email . No , I do n't own a computer . Right . Probably for the best . Those girls ... they 're no good , Miss Peters . They 're dangerous , let me tell you that . They 're not dangerous . They 're geniuses . Even my grandparents did n't understand poetry like they do . They 're brilliant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you do n't know them . Miss Peters ... You do n't know them like I know them ! I 'm not trying to upset you . No ! No ! The world never deserved them . The outside world always rejected them ! Rejected ? Now you 're going to see what it 's like ... to live without them . Where are they ? Where are they ? I do n't ... No ! What ? How 'd you know they went missing ? Um ... Their disappearance is n't national news , Miss Peters , so you could n't have read about it . You do n't have a TV , you do n't have a computer , you never leave the house . You just told me that they have n't contacted you in years , so how would you have known that they went missing ? Miss Peters ? Officer , may I see your search warrant , please ? Because if you do n't have one , I suggest you leave . Right now . Unless you want me to call the police station @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home of the town lunatic ! You 're close to retirement , are n't you , Detective Siegel ? If I were you , I 'd wan na retire with a little dignity . If I get any more complaints , Miss Peters , I 'm gon na have to come back with a warrant . But you wo n't mind . It 's not like you 're hiding two fugitives in your attic . Par ... Pardon me ? That 's right . They 're not just missing . They 're wanted , Miss Peters . But I understand your need to protect them . But in the end ... who 's gon na protect you from them ? Take care . Now no one can come in . I will always keep you safe . I promise . Now , please , sit . Oh , Tilda , go wash your hands first . Doctor . Doctor , I know what you 're here for . And I 've been dying to play . Into our rotting mansion 's halls , look for signs along the way . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mirror end your days . But caution , dear Doctor , for you 're not too far from hell . And the grave will open wide when you shatter time 's spell ! Time 's spell ? But , but ... if you finish the game before me , I 'll let you go , and I 'll take the blame . The blame for what ? What are you talking about ? The grave will open wide ! What ? Whose grave ? Our rotting mansion 's halls ! Where 's Tilda ? Oh , Doctor ! Dear Doctor , it 's too late . What did you do ? Tilda !

Elliot . Neil . Tough morning , huh ? I barely lasted two minutes in that ice bath . Course , I supposeNASA 's more interested in the psychological reaction . Well ... I think I made it pretty clear that I thought it was cold . Armstrong . Good luck . You , too . Another egghead . Neil , we 've been chatting with candidates about the program . As you know , our decision to forgo direct ascent in favor of a lunar orbit rendezvous approach to the eventual Moon mission has had a major impact on Gemini . Do you have any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Braun 's initial criticism , it seems that the payload saved by parking the primary vehicle in orbit and sending a smaller ship down to the lunar surface is well worth the resulting challenges . What do you see as the challenges ? Cislunar navigation , for one . And rendezvous and docking . Why do you think space flight 's important ? I had a few , uh , opportunities in the X-15 to observe the atmosphere . It was so thin , such a small part of the Earth , you could barely see it at all . And when you 're down here in the crowd and you look up , it ... it looks pretty big , and you do n't think about it too much . But when you get a different vantage point , it changes your perspective . I do n't know what space exploration will uncover , but I do n't think it 'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration . I think it 'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things that maybe we should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been able to until now . Does anyone have anything else ? Yeah . Neil , I was sorry to hear about your daughter . I 'm sorry , is there a question ? Um , what I ... what I mean is , uh , do you think it will have an effect ? I think it would be unreasonable to assume that it would n't have some effect . All right , Neil . Thank you . That 's fine . Thank you . Thank you for your time . Hello ? Yeah , sure . Neil . Hello ? Can I go play outside ? Yeah . Yes , sir . Thank you , sir . I got it . It 's a fresh start . Are you sure ? Yeah . Hey . It 'll be an adventure . Since the time of Jules Verne , man has imagined traveling to the Moon . The old idea of how to get to the Moon was to send one spacecraft all the way there and back . However , NASA engineers have developed a modern approach where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ together . Just as Columbus took a rowboat from the Santa Mara to the shore of the New World , the astronauts will take a smaller spacecraft from the mother ship down to the lunar surface . When it 's time to return , the smaller craft will lift off from the surface and dock with the mother ship , which will then power the crew back to Earth . Thus , thanks to the brilliant minds of NASA , the age-old dream of going to the Moon will soon be achieved . Sputnik , Sputnik 2 , Vostok , Gagarin . The Soviets have beaten us at every single major space accomplishment . Our program could n't compete . So we 've chosen to focus on a job so difficult , requiring so many technological developments , that the Russians are gon na have to start from scratch . As will we . Hi . Hi . I 'm Pat . Got here about a week before you , so welcome to the neighborhood . Oh , that 's so nice of you . Well , it 's ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to meet you . So , instead of here , we go ... Hey . Here . That 's to scale . Check it . That 's my husband , Ed , and that 's Eddie Junior . I do n't know where Bonnie is . You 've got two ? I do . I see ... Is this your first one ? Oh , no , no . We 've got a boy , Rick . How old is he ? He 's five and a half . Oh , well , we should get them together . If we want to get this done , we need to prove that two ships can find each other in orbit and dock without crashing . That 's the primary mission of Project Gemini . When we think you 're ready , each of you will be assigned a flight with a specific task . Only after we master all these tasks do we move on to Apollo , consider trying to land on the Moon . It 's nice to meet you . And you , Pat . Bye . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Eddie Junior , do n't you dare ... You got anything to add ? Just do your job . Yes , sir . Almost to scale . The Multi-Axis Trainer was designed to replicate roll coupling on three axes , the kind you might encounter in space . The challenge is to stabilize the machine before you pass out . First victim , Armstrong . White , you 're up . Yeah , I got it . I 'm okay . Let 's go again . Oh , fuck . Gentlemen , welcome to Basic Rocket Physics . We 'll just be covering the first chapter tonight . When using a multi-stage launch vehicle , it 's necessary to determine what the right sizing is of those stages . Hi . Hi . You okay ? Yeah . Just thinking about this lecture . It 's kind of neat . What 's neat about it ? Well , it was about how to rendezvous with the Agena . If you thrust , it-it actually slows you down , because it puts you into a higher orbit , so you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in order to catch up . It's-it 's backwards from what they teach you as a pilot , but if you work the math , it-it-it follows . It 's kind of neat . Yeah . What 's funny ? No , it 's not funny . It 's just ... It 's kind of neat . Do you remember this ? Yeah . I 'm surprised that you remember it. ( m ) If you miss the train I 'm on ... ( m ) Let 's see . I want to make ten . Before you panic ... There we go . Great . Thank you . Thank you for having us . It 's a pleasure . Carrie . Here you go . Would you like some salad ? Thank you . That 's a lovely piano , Pat . Do you play ? Bonnie 's taking lessons . Mm . Well , perhaps we 'll sing for our supper . Neil plays piano ? Neil knows all kinds of show tunes . Janet . Oh , come on . He was musical director at his fraternity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ musical for the all-student revue . I did n't write the music . Yeah , you did . No , I ... We used music from Gilbert and Sullivan .

Uh , uh , it 's a distant land , but , uh , it 's a magical place . It 's " college " spelled backwards . Seriously ? Yep . You 're , uh , backup on Five , huh ? Yeah . Well , do n't worry . You 'll get your own mission soon . How 's training going on Four ? It 's good . I think we 're close on E.V.A.First man to walk in space . That 'd be something , huh ? Yeah .

Oh , I think McDivitt will cut the cord before that ever happens . Whoa , whoa , whoa . You throttle back there , Armstrong . Ed ! Yeah ? Phone for you . Yeah , who is it ? It 's Deke . Okay , hang on . I think that'sCastor and Pollux . I was testing you , and you passed . I thought about letting it fly , but ... Yeah . Yeah . Uh , no , uh , let me turn it on right now . Hey , guys. ... with a Soviet pressure suit , we 're told , that was designed for the lunar surface . I 'll call you back . This is , of course , mankind 's first E.V.A. , or extravehicular activity . Within the American space program , E.V.A . is seen as one of the crucial tests the astronauts must master if they are to successfully carry out their mission to the Moon . Astronaut Ed White was scheduled to perform the first E.V.A . during Gemini @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Soviet Union in the Space Race . Check valves are clear . Okay . I 'll get on the edge . We got it from here . Thanks . Thanks , Elliot . Eight days up there . To be honest , I 'm kind of glad we did n't get this one . Hope they do n't kill each other .

Yeah , and we had a ... we , uh ... like , a summer house in northern Wisconsin , and I just used to go to the lake and , uh , fish . And I just used to swim for miles and miles . I've-I 've always loved it . Nothing quite compares to your terrible life . Oh ... You got it coming . It 's the longest bridge in the world , but there 's no ... It 's the second-largest suspension bridge in the world , but these cables are the longest ... Hey , Ed . Oh , hi . Uh , can I speak with Neil ? Yeah , sure . Why do n't you come on in ? You 're soaked . No , I'll-I 'll ... I 'll wait here . Thanks . You could fly under there . That would hurt if you jumped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you jumped over it . Yeah . Uh , here are the sky pieces . Neil , Ed 's outside . Okay . Excuse me , son . Hi . You want to come in ? Some bad news about Elliot . No , I know . Deke told me he bumped him , but with ... Neil , Elliot and Charlie were flying into St. Louis this morning . Their T-38 crashed on approach . Oh . There was a lot of fog . So , did you really fly under that bridge ? Was it fun ? Were you scared ? Ricky . Honey . Why do n't you go and get your homework so I can check it ? Yes , ma'am . Who was it ? Shit . How the hell did this happen ? Cernan told me cloud cover was down to 500 feet . Probably never saw the building . Clearly , the error was the approach . He was coming in too slow to reach the runway . What ? You know Deke had his doubts about him . That 's why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own command . Elliot was n't aggressive enough . You of all people have to know that . No , I do n't . I did n't investigate the crash . I did n't study the flight trajectory . And I was n't the one flying the plane . So I would n't pretend to know anything . We 'll never be a hundred percent sure . Can we go ? Uh ... uh , not right now . I want to help Marilyn clear all this up . I do n't want to have her do it after we 're gone . Neil ? I 'm sorry . I hate to be a bother . Oh , Jan , it 's no bother . Oh , Jan . Yeah , no . Neil 's , uh ... There was a year when we were at Edwards ... Four pilots died . We got good at funerals that year . We have n't been to one in a while . Does he ever talk to you about Karen , Ed ? Not really . No . Does he talk to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buddy . You know , you should be with Jan .

Well , I 'd like to argue with them about the going home , but I 'm ... not sure how we can . Yeah . I just keep thinking , is there anything else that we forgot ? We did everything , as far as I know . Gemini 8 saw two complex vehicles launched on the same day on time . We saw flawless rendezvous and docking . All of which is tended to be overshadowed by the malfunction , but , uh , I think we should focus on the progress resulting from the mission . The board would like to focus on the malfunction . Neil , walk us through the decision @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rate of revolution was more than once a second . How near were you to being unconscious ? Did you think to use the Agena to stabilize the combined craft ? We did . This was , uh , not successful . As I said , we initially assumed that the anomaly was with the Agena control system . ' Cause there was no way to know that a thruster was causing the ... If we could have , uh , isolated each of Gemini 's thrusters , if we 'd had that capability in the moment ... Agence France . Did you have any feeling of anxiety after the failure of the thrusters ? In the midst of the spinning , did you seem to realize or feel the presence of God closer than other times ? With this so hot on the heels of the loss of Charlie Bassett and Elliot See , do you question whether the program 's worth the cost ? In money and in lives ? All right , thanks , guys .

Uh , you want to hold down the chatter ? We 're on open mic . Uh , let 's hold the countdown . Sorry , guys . We 'll get this squared . Shit , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we did n't get that . Course you did n't . Glad you think this is funny . We finished strong with Gemini , and we 're very , very bullish on Apollo , Senator . I should hope so , given the time we 've spent developing it . Half the country does n't think it 's worth it anymore . Uh , well ... we ... we learned to fly only 60 years ago , so if you consider the technological developments in the context of history , it 's really not ... I 'm considering it in the context of taxpayer dollars . And so are we , Senator . Between us , we 're doing some final tests on the new command module today . I 'm sure Mr. Gilruth will be happy to tell you about it . Let me introduce you to Bob . Come on . Okay . I 'd like a photo , sir . How about you boys ? Well , I have n't talked yet . How 's this ? One , two , three , four , five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we need another minute to get it sorted . How are we gon na get to the Moon if we ca n't talk between three buildings ? They ca n't hear a thing you 're saying . Jesus Christ . Say again ? I said , how are we gon na get to the Moon if we ca n't talk between two or three buildings ? You tell ' em , Gus . You tell ' em . Mickey Mouse shit . I got a surge in the AC bus two voltage . Try resetting the meter . You getting this , Gus ? Rog . You picking anything up on the dials ? Hey , we got a fire in the cockpit . Hey , we got a bad fire ! We 're burning up in here ! Mr. Armstrong ? I have Deke Slayton on the phone for you . Oh . Right this way . Thank you . Well , I 'm glad you called . I 'm not sure if I 'm helping or hurting over here . Neil , we had a problem with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have tests , right ? We 'll figure it out . There was a fire . God , there 's no easy way to say this . Ed , Gus and Roger ... they 're gone . We think it was a wiring issue . A spark in all that oxygen . It happened very quickly . Now , listen , we need you guys to head back to the hotel . The press is gon na be all over this . Congress is gon na be calling for investigations . We ... We just do n't want you guys in the middle of all that . Do you understand ? Yeah . All right , then . Okay . A lot of people forget about the influence that the lunar program has on the raising of our young people in the country . I think that if a civilization does n't look out , if it does n't try to expand its horizons , then we 're not going to progress as a nation . At 10:30 tonight Eastern Time , rescue teams began to remove the bodies of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spokesman said the dead astronauts were left in the ship for four hours to aid the investigation into the tragedy . And according to the latest information from NASA at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston , the first Apollo flight , which was scheduled forFebruary the 21st , is now ... Winds are pretty rough today . Keep an eye on your yaw . Copy . Correcting. 1,000 feet . Switching to lunar mode . Final landing approach . You 're too low . Climb . Control is degrading . Slow your rates . Do you read ? Neil ? The vehicle 's not safe . Well , unfortunately , it 's the best simulation we have . And you and the others are too valuable . It 's a fly-by-wire system that 's got no backup . The ejection seat is the backup . Political fallout from another accidentwill compromise our ... With all due respect , sir , it 's not my job to worry about the political fallout . The damn thing could have killed you . Well , it did n't . A split second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we need to fail . We need to fail down here so we do n't fail up there . Okay , Neil , Neil . At what cost , huh ? " At what cost ? " Well , it 's a little bit late for that question , is n't it , sir ? They raise their voices , their placards , and they march against the government . But some go farther , burning Selective Service cards and obstructing the draft . Most dissenters confine themselves to this kind of protest activity . Hey , hey ! LBJ ! How many kids did you kill today ? Hey , hey ! LBJ ! How many kids did you kill today ? Pat ? Pat . You okay ? Yes . Why do n't we go inside ? Hi . Are you okay ? Jesus . Oh , I 'm fine . Look at your face . Excuse me . Dad , want to come play ? Ricky . Uh ... Boys , go on . Go on . I know , I know , I know . Dad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Go back , go back . Mark , not here . What happened ? Um ... I , uh ... Jesus . I just remembered I left something at the office . You 've lately taken a couple of swipes at the space program . I think it would be interesting to , uh , talk more about whether this is the proper thing to do with public treasury . Is the sort of dreamsI would have , would be a habitableNew York City , for instance . It would seem to me that that would be a reasonable thing to do . Wh-What has been the reaction of your friends in this ? Well , they mostly think that it 's ridiculous that we 're spending so much money to go somewhere where we do n't know anything about . And that the money could be used for a lot more helpful things . Power ! Yeah ! Power to the people ! ( m ) A rat done bit my sister Nell ( m ) ( m ) With Whitey on the Moon(m) Her face and arms begin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's on the MoonAll right ! Whoo ! ( m ) I ca n't pay no doctor bills , but ( m ) ( m ) Whitey 's on the MoonSpeak ! ( m ) Ten years from nowI 'll be paying still , while ( m ) ( m ) Whitey 's on the Moon(m) You know , the man just upped my rent last night ( m ) ( m ) Whitey 's on the MoonRight on ! ( m ) No hot water , no toilets , no lights ( m ) ( m ) But Whitey 's on the MoonUh-huh ! ( m ) I wonder why he 's uppin ' me ( m ) Come on , now ! ( m ) ' Cause Whitey 's on the Moon ? ( m ) Yeah ! ( m ) Well , I was already giving him , like , 50 a week and , uh ( m ) ( m ) Whitey 's on the Moon ... Jesus , that 's a big mother . It 's a political rush job . Congress would n't fund @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be sending a rocket that 's had one issue after another to the Moon ? Thanks for the insight , Buzz . Always a pleasure with you . Oh , it does n't matter . He 's not in the lunar lottery . And you are ? Well , the only guys they let on the LLTV since Neil 's accident are ones that might land . So you think you 're going to the Moon ? Well , it 's been up for grabs since Gus died . I 'm just saying what you 're thinking . Well , maybe you should n't . Apollo 8 clearing the VABand headed for the launchpad . Yeah ! Hell of a rocket . Yeah . Everything stays on track , 11 's gon na be the landing . I talked to Bob . Everyone 's in agreement . We 'd like you to command . Okay . I can see a helicopter vectoring that way . It looks like a red dot with a long , long tail , a long plume . That 's got to be the spacecraft . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flight of Apollo 10 has performed the major function of its mission . It has proved , through these daring three astronauts , that , uh , all of the systems work properly and that there should be no reason why man can not , perhaps as early as July , land on that picked spot on the Moon 's equator . These are sailors of the sky , and what , uh , we 've seen and heard today make the great ocean voyages of the earthbound seem ... well , earthbound indeed . For as the poet wrote , the crew of Apollo 10 has " slipped the surly bonds of Earth " and carried us over into tomorrow . In the past few hours , man has come closer to the Moon than ever in his history . There were those terrifying moments when ... Mom , what 's wrong ? Hmm ? What 's wrong ? Nothing , honey . Your dad 's going to the Moon . Okay . Can I go outside ? Sure . Uh , we 're here today to talk about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about it because of , uh ... previous flights . Every flight took on new objectives and left us with very few additions to be completed . We 're very grateful to those people who made it possible for us to be here today . All right , we 'll take some questions now . Jim . Neil , when you learned you were going to command this flight , were you surprised ? Overjoyed ? I was pleased . Okay , but how would you compare this feeling to winning an automobile or being selected as an astronaut ? I was pleased . Brian . Neil , if it does turn out , you 'll go down in history . What kind of thoughts do you have about that when the thought hits you , uh , " Gosh , suppose that flight 's successful ... " We 're planning on that flight being successful . Uh , I-I just meant , how you feel about ... being a part of history . I think I can shed some light here . It 's a responsibility ... but it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is excited . She keeps slipping .... jewelry into my PPK . You 're planning on taking some of her jewelryto the Moon , Buzz ? Sure . Wh-What fella would n't want to give his wife bragging rights ? Neil , will you take anything ? Uh , if I had a choice , I 'd take more fuel . All right , next question . I thought you were gon na talk to the boys . What did you want me to say ? What do you want to say ? You 're the one that 's going away . Well , it 's too late now . They 're asleep . No , they 're not , Neil . You know they 're not . Why ca n't you talk to them ? What are you doing ? Uh ... I 'm packing . No . You 're just killing time until you can get in the car . Okay . Okay . Neil , I need you to talk to the boys . Can you hear me ? I need you to talk to the boys @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to work . Well , just stop it . Just stop ... just stop packing ! What are the chances you 're not coming back ? Hmm ? What are the chances this is the last time the boys are gon na see you ? Well , I ca n't give you an exact number . I do n't want a fucking number , Neil ! It 's not zero , is it ? Is it ? No . No . It 's not . Pat does n't have a husband . Those kids , they do n't have a father anymore . Do you understand what that means ? What are the chances that 's gon na be Ricky and Mark ? And I ... I ca n't tell them that their dad spent the last few minutes packing his briefcase ! You 're gon na sit ' em down , both of them , and you 're gon na prepare them for the fact that you might not ever come home . You 're doing that . You . Not me . I 'm done . So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say . Jimmy asked what you 're gon na say when you get onto the Moon . Well , we 're not sure we 're gon na get onto the Moon . Uh ... a lot of things have to go right before that happens . How long will you be gone ? Um ... well , we launch in ten days , we 'll be up for eight , and then about a month in quarantine . What 's quarantine ? We 'll ... be in isolation . Uh , to protect in case we , uh ... carry any diseases from the lunar surface or ... something of that nature . It 's not likely , but it 's a precaution . So you wo n't be here for my swim meet ? No . Sorry . Does anyone have any other questions ? Do you think you 're coming back ? We have real confidence in the mission . And , uh , there are some risks , but we have every intention of coming back . But you might not . That 's right . Okay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ordained " that the men who went to the Moon to explore in peace " will stay on the Moon to rest in peace . " These brave men , NeilArmstrong and Edwin Aldrin , " know there is no hope for their recovery . " They will be mourned by their families . " They will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown . " " For every human being " who looks up at the Moon in the nights to come " will know that there is some corner " of another world that is forever mankind .

The averageRomanian thinks of Apollo 11 a little bit as his own personal adventure . It 's been estimated that the audience was up in the hundreds of millions . Perhaps 400 million persons or so watching this broadcast . Countless millions more listened on the radio to the voices from the Moon . Never before had so many people been attuned to one event at one time. ... is on the Moon . Of course ... ... feats of all time . Does it amaze you that it 's taken place ? It not only amazes me , but I 'm certain that it amazes everybody in this country . What do you think of it ? Well , the Moon , I hope ... that sometime everybody will go there . Want to go yourself ? Oh , yeah . I wish I can go right now . I think this is a very important day . It 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concerned about this , the landing on the Moon . And as a French woman , how do you think about it ? Oh , I think it 's wonderful . I always trusted America , and I knew they could n't fail . And in Washington , an anonymous citizen placed a small bouquet on the grave of John F. Kennedy with a note : " Mr. President , the Eagle has landed . " And indeed on this day , as we mark the astronauts ' return , it 's hard not to think back upon that speech our 35th president gave just seven short years ago . If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything , it is that man , in his quest for knowledge and progress , is determined and can not be deterred . But why , some say , the Moon ? Why choose this as our goal ? And they may well ask , why climb the highest mountain ? Why , 35 years ago , fly the Atlantic ? Why does Rice play Texas ? We choose to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Moon ... We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things , not because they are easy , but because they are hard . How do you feel ? How happy are you ? Have you spoken with your husband ? Would your sons like to be astronauts like him ? Mrs. Armstrong . Ha-Have all your prayers been answered ? Yes , yes , they have . How would you describe the flight ? Well , uh , I can only say it was , uh , out of this world . Thank you . They will be quarantined the full three weeks , but there is no sign of infection or disease . Congratulations , Jan .

' Cause that 's not what I heard . From who ? Tyrone ? Does it matter really ? Yeah . Look , I know it 's probably none of my business at this point , but the Lisa I knew never would have put up with that shit . Yeah , you 're right . It really is none of your business . I get it . I leave , you think you 're making this big upgrade . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yearbook . You probably always wanted to be with him . You know , but he 's still a jerk . Everybody knows it . Are you done ? Do n't , do n't you think I wish I could be more like that sometimes ? I mean , just , just the town brute that everybody , all the girls love for some fucking reason that I ca n't seem to figure out . Insecurity and jealousy . That 's , that 's you in a nutshell . Like , I need to get these groceries back to your mom . If you 're gon na be a jerk , you can just walk . Just lookin ' out . Yeah , thanks . I wish I was better looking . Fifty-five hundred , up as well . That 's 2,924 with a consumer confidence all suggesting general confidence about the state of the economy , which comes as good news for Wythe administration , which has been feeling the pressure to deliver on its campaign promise of 20% overall gain in the economy in the first 12 months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lucky man . It could have been much worse . We did have to perform a minor facial reconstruction procedure . What ? Which despite the seriousness of the accident , Wait , slow ... I think you 're going to be pleasantly surprised . I 'm sorry . I 'm so sorry . I could n't , I could n't see and ... Look , I know this is n't your fault , okay ? It was an accident . That 's all , I needed to hear that . Thank you so much . Oh , fuck . We 'll be okay . It 's not okay . Derek arrested me that night . Said I was drunk driving but I 'm sober . They said I blew a .3 . Do you know he 's the one that got me fired from the force ? For drinking on the job , but I owned up to that . Fact is , he has it out for me ever since I went out with Lisa a couple of times . Huh ? Nothing happened . She just needed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ man . I do n't know what the guy 's capable of . You do n't think you should slow down there a little bit , darling ? Okay . You know , I forgave you for what happened under two conditions , you never lay another hand on me , and you never tell anyone . I 've kept those promises . Then how come Aaron knows ? Oh , that son of a bitch . That 's what he was talking about the other night . So you did talk to him ? I was n't talking about us . I have n't said a single word to anyone . I could lose my fucking job , Lisa . What about you ? Maybe when you were dating Tyrone ? I was upset . He promised not say anything to anyone . You trust that drunk over me ? You know what , you 're a fucking asshole . I 'm going to bed . You trust that drunk over me ? Have a great night . No , yeah , yeah , why do n't you go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Leaving so soon ? This is a nice surprise . I figured you needed a lift . Where 's mom ? She 's at home resting . Yeah , how about that sheriff of yours ? Hey , Mr. Hammond . Before you go , let 's take off that dressing . Alright , let 's do it . I 've been sitting here all week . What ? Is it that bad ? Huh . Oh , my God , huh . Oh , my God . Mom , you home ? Mom ? Mom , you ca n't just sit here alone in a dark room all day . This is not what Dad would want for you . He 'd want you to be happy . Right ? I feel like I do n't even know how to be happy anymore . Mom , look at me , Mom . Yep . Oh , my God . You 're perfect . You 're perfect . What if I told you I 'm staying longer than just a few days ? Maybe a lot longer . Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wish your father could see you . Me too , Mom . I just wish there was something I could do to make you happy again . Mom ? Hello . You okay ? Of course . You sure ' cause , ah ... Of course . But you 're right . I need to bury the past . And I need to focus on the present and the future . That 's Bobby Darin . Oh , my God . Bobby D. He 's my favorite . Listen , listen , listen to him . Oh , listen to him . Listen to him . You 're not listening to me ! Why do n't you listen to me ! You never listen to me ! Would like to give your mommy a twirl ? Buh , buh , buh , buh , buh . Come on . Come on . Okay . I do n't mean to interrupt . I just wanted to make sure you guys were okay . We are , we 're dancing . Go , go , go . Have a good breakfast . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she seems ... Happy . I know , it 's , it 's weird . It could have been like this all the time , you know . Look , Lisa , I 'm not saying I deserve you , okay . I , I do n't . But you 're worth more than this . You 're worth more than Derek . You deserve to be happy . Look at you going down the rabbit hole , huh , lover boy ? Things seem to really be looking up for you . Whatever it is you 're doing , keep doing it . It 's working . Fuck , you know , man , you 're right . I mean , first time in maybe years , man , things are finally looking up . I tell you what would have been nice , if my best friend had come to visit me in the hospital . I hate hospitals . Hey , um , you know , I was just thinking . That urn you got , I was thinking maybe I could buy it from you ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And what would you want that old piece of junk for ? You hear that ? It sounds like someone 's throwing a rager in the barn . I 'll be right back . Aaron , it 's a miracle . Your father is home . Oh . Oh . Oh . Mom ? Oh , ho , ho . Mom ? Hello . Where is it ? Where 's that fucking thing ? Do n't you talk to me like that ! And do n't you talk about your father like that . That was n't Dad , that was a fucking demon , Mom . That was , that was a demon . It was a monster . What the fuck is wrong with you ? What are you doing ? That is your father . That 's Daddy . And he 's coming back . Ooh . Go to your room ! Aaron . Yeah , hi , hi , Miss McKee , I 'm so sorry to bother you so late like this . God , it 's been years . What 's going on ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I need to speak with him . Excuse me ? Is he around , does he still live here ? I , it 's kind of urgent , so I just need to talk to him . Is this some kind of joke ? No . Jeremy died a year ago . In a car accident . I told your mother , I do n't know . Maybe she just , she still busy with your dad being sick . She just did n't have a chance to say anything to you . Well that 's not , it 's not possible . I was , I was with him . I was with him today . Right , you were with my son today . You know what , I do n't know what it is that you 're doing , but I need you to leave . Leave ? And you should leave . Wait , I do n't , I do n't understand . I do n't care . Hey , buddy . Who the fuck are you ? It 's your best friend , Jeremy . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true . But you know , death is , death is just a transition . I mean , ask your dear old dad . My dad 's fucking dead , and I 'd like him to stay that way . Well your wish is my command . Who the fuck are you ? Alright , so you really expect me to believe that some old urn did all of this ? I know it sounds so , it sounds crazy but yeah , I do . I mean , just think about everything that 's happened . The , there was the dog . Ah , the money . My face , my mom . These are all coincidences . Okay , um , what about me seeing my dead dad ? You did say you were really high . I 've been hanging out with Jeremy , who 's fucking dead , all week . Alright , I wan na see this crazy urn , let 's go see it . Okay , hold on . Thank you . Here . I have an idea . Colin , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you come inside so that we can talk . Thank you . I 'm , I 'm sorry I missed your dad 's memorial . I was stuck in London at an antiquities auction . He was a good man . I 'm gon na miss him . So how can I help you ? We , um , wanted to show you this . Oh , my God . We bought this just before your dad got sick . He never even had a chance to unpack it . Do you remember where you got it from ? Yeah , from an estate sale . From an archeologist named Andrew Williams . He supposedly found it in a , um , expedition in Iraq . Do you know what it is ? Well , it 's similar in size and shape to many of the artifacts that come from the ancient Mesopotamia region . But the inscription , that 's the crazy thing . I mean , this predates the original Bedouin people of the Middle East by millennia . God only knows how old this vessel really is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what ? Well according to ancient lore , the ancients used to use this as part of their ritual . To bind and to cast out demons . Now in the Bible , they 're called unclean spirits . In the Koran , they 're called jinn . Now the countryside of Iraq is littered with these artifacts , but nobody wants to touch ' em for fear that they 'll be cursed themselves . This is the 21st century . What do you mean cursed ? Well let me tell you this . When Williams returned with the urn , after a few months he , uh , he went insane . Dad , please . He murdered his wife and cut out his own tongue . His daughter found him before he completely bled out . Williams survived ? Where is he now ? I have his , I have his daughter 's number . You got lucky . Thanks , Denise . Her name is Lynette . Thank you . The universe demands balance . For every yin , there must be yang . For there to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be life , there must be death . What the hell 's going on ? I do n't know . Is your mom okay ? I ca n't hear you . Yates ! Aaron , no , no . Ah , sorry about the mess . We lost most of our money in the trial . I just ca n't bring myself to sell it . Lynette , I 'm so sorry about everything you 've been through . Did you bring it ? Bring what ? The urn . No . I need to see it . Please . You knew what it could do ? No , not at first . My dad , he told me some of his wishes were coming true but he 's eccentric . I thought it was just a coincidence . But one day , I heard him make a wish . He loved my mom . But she worked a lot . So he wished that there were two of her so he could see her more . I do n't give a shit if you do n't believe me . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wishes . Did you make a wish ? It gets stronger with every wish . It can take any form . It can be anyone . Jeremy . The jinn . Lynette , I believe you . Can you help me ? Please . I need your help before someone else dies . My father , he 'll know what to do . 20 minutes . Dad ? Dad ? Sir , I need to talk to you . This man has the urn . He 's made wishes . Please , I need you to release his hands . He needs to write . How many wishes have you made ? Um , four . It 's four , right ? Yeah . Paddington , money , face , mom . Yeah , that 's four . Are you sure ? Fuck . No , I think I may have made five . Five ? Yes , yeah , I brought my dad back to life , but I think , I think I wished him away . He says whatever you do , you ca n't make a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wish ? Sir , what happens if I make a seventh wish ? Sir , what happens ? So what 's the plan ? I think we got ta grab my mom and go to Chicago . Just like that ? Yeah , tonight . If Lynette 's right , you ca n't run from this thing . It 's gon na follow you . I know . I know that . I just need time to think . Just promise me you wo n't make anymore wishes . It 's not that simple , okay ? I 'm a fuck up , I 'm gon na do it accidentally . That man cut out his own tongue so he would n't make a seventh wish . I know . We got ta go . We got ta go . C'm on . Okay . Pick two , ah , there we go . Mom ? Okay , let 's find mom and get the fuck outta here . The light 's not working . Okay , there 's matches in the living room . Do you hear that ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police . 911 , what 's your emergency ? Hey , buddy . You miss me ? You ready to be rich and famous ? Fuck you . Is that a wish ? You wan na fuck ? My son . Please , do it for me . You left me and your father alone for so long . Oh , be a good son . Be a good son . Make a wish . Make things right . I ca n't . Of course you can . This is n't real . None of this . You deserted me . And you stole my husband after I finally got him back . You selfish little prick . You always were . Show me what you really are . Die . Show me you coward ! Fuck ! Aaron , I think it 's in your best interest to stay away from Lisa . Derek , I am really not in the fucking mood for this tonight . Hey , do n't turn you back on me . Listen , asshole ... Now why 'd you make me do that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that to Lisa tonight , and it 's gon na be your fault . Hey ! I wish that you never hurt Lisa again . Okay , you wished for it . No . You 're a stubborn son of a bitch . I need to talk to you about Derek . Want something to drink ? No thanks . What happened ? I could get in a lot of trouble for telling you this . He 's going before a judge in the morning to get your bail revoked . That fucking piece of shit . Why are you telling me this right now ? Where is it ? What are you doing here , Tyrone ? I 'm not gon na ask you again . Where is it ? You need to get the fuck outta my house . You looking for this ? Okay , you just , you just crossed a serious line . I crossed the line ? That 's funny coming from you because I know what you plan on doing tomorrow . You plan on getting the judge to revoke my bail . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , why do n't you put the gun down , and go check yourself into a meeting , okay ? Do n't put this shit back on me . I know everything . Lisa told me . She also said she 's about to leave your sorry ass . Oh , she said that , she said she 's gon na leave me for Aaron , or maybe she 's gon na leave me for you ? ' Cause how I remember , she left both of you for me . And neither one of you can deal with that . You know what , fuck you . What the hell is wrong with you ? Evidence . What evidence ? The evidence you said Derek was gon na use against me tomorrow . Where is it ? Tyrone , just go home . Go home before you get into anymore trouble , please . Mother fucker . Oh , no ! What have you done ? What have you done ? He was after me and I did n't have a choice . And you said he had evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Tyrone , I have n't seen you in days . Lisa , Lisa , Lisa , I made a wish . I made a wish , I 'm so sorry . What did you do ? I made ... Oh , fuck . I did n't wish for this . I just wished that he would never hurt you again . You need to tell me what 's going on . It 's the fucking jinns . Okay , you two better start making sense right now . Do n't touch ... Fuck you , man . What the fuck , Tyrone ? I did n't , I 'm sorry . Lisa . You said you 'd stay with me . Please . It 's all my fault . It 's all my fault . It 's all my fault . I wish I had died that day . That day Tyrone hit me with his car . For the state of the economy . This is good news for the Wythe administration , which has been feeling the pressure to deliver on its campaign promise of a 20% @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ works and it 's heavy , be careful . Thank you , so much . Enjoy it . Whoa , last customer of the day . We did pretty good . Oh . I 'm gon na miss you . Oh , I 'm gon na miss you , too . But it 's all good , and we are both making fresh starts , so . Yes , you 're gon na come visit me in Chicago , right ? No . It 's too windy , too many people .

Somebody let it in the window ! He does n't like it after all . Tapping there all , all alone . Oh . No , no ! Now open the door . Hurry up ! No , no , no ! No , no , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they been treating you ? About what you 'd expect . They 're just trying to fatten you up a little . It 's gon na be okay , I promise . Now you have to tell me the truth . Did you do it ? Mrs. Van derSloot , you may begin . Yes , Mr. Stonewright . You were at the scene of the supposed crime my client is accused of , correct ? That 's correct . What were you doing that day ? I was walking my dog . On the corner of 48th andMain , correct ? Yes , that 's correct . And what did you see ? I saw that man walking about 50 feet ahead of me . And the child ? She was only a few feet in front of him . And then what happened ? Well , the little girl was n't paying attention . Occasionally she would hop off the sidewalk into the street . And that 's when the incident occurred . That 's correct . I saw that man push her . Push her ? Yes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ malicious in nature ? He definitely was pushing her with a large amount of force . Into oncoming traffic ? That 's correct . Let me ask the question one more time . Do you feel that my client had malicious intent when he shoved the child that day ? Absolutely , he had hate in his eyes . No further questions , Your Honor . Mr. Wrenson , you may proceed . Mr. Stonewright , would you consider yourself a moral man ? Remember , you are under oath . No . No ? I do n't consider myself moral . I cheat on my taxes , watch my neighbor undress through the window , occasionally shoplift . I even ate my dog later that day . You know , immoral stuff like that . Typical , right ? Now , all that may be true . You may do all those very immoral things , however , is it true that you secretly donate food to shelters every month ? Objection , relevance ? Overruled . Is it true ? Mr. Stonewright , we have plenty of evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yes , yes , I do . You do what , Mr. Stonewright ? Speak loudly so the jury can hear you . I donate food to shelters , on occasion . Now , would you consider this a moral act ? Yes , but ... But what , Mr.Stonewright ? The food was poisoned , I swear to you . It should have made everyone in the shelter deathly ill . But it did n't , Mr.Stonewright . Now , since you are a self-confessed moral , do you honestly think the jury should believe what you saw that day ? Answer the question . No . Did you see Mr. Booth shove the girl in front of oncoming traffic ? Or was Mr. Booth being moral also ? I ca n't be sure . Ca n't be sure . Could he have been pushing her out of harm 's way ? You said the child was stepping in and out of the street carelessly . Yes . Would you say it 's possible that Mr. Booth saved the child 's life instead of attempting to end it ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Maybe . Yes . No further questions , Your Honor . Now , Mrs. Paddington , you were driving the car that fateful day , correct ? That 's right . I was heading down 48th , about to cross Denver when I saw Mr. Booth shoveAllison Grove into traffic . And what did you do then ? I accelerated . You accelerated ? Yes . I hit the accelerator as hard asI could . I wanted to smear that kid . Okay , but you just missed her . Yes . Sadly . I agree , would have been nice and messy . Objection , she 's leading the witness . I 'll allow it . Now , since you were behind the wheel , how clearly could you see the defendant ? Very clearly . He was most definitely attempting to push Allison with the intention of harm . No further questions . Mr. Wrenson . Mrs. Paddington , why did n't you hit Allison Grove with your car ? You seemed very excited to do so . I just missed her . It was very disappointing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And yet there were obvious tire tracks matching your tires ' tread on your vehicle . Seems to me you were breaking and swerving . The evidence does n't lie . Objection , my witness is not on trial . Overruled . We were able to obtain Mrs.Paddington 's phone records for the exact moment of the crime . If it pleases the court , I would like to submit this evidence into testimony . Now , Mrs. Paddington , according to your phone records you were texting at the exact moment of the crime . I will remind you , you 're still under oath . Yes . And were you texting , or should I say sexting , a man by the name of Norman Davis ? That 's correct . He 's my fuckbuddy . Now , if true , and you were texting at that exact moment , how could you possibly have seen the defendant push Allison Grove ? I ... Am I to assume that while you were texting your lover you were n't paying attention to the road ? Yes . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ girl you swerved to miss her ? Yes . No further questions , Your Honor . Has the jury reached a verdict ? Yes , we have , Your Honor . On the count of failure to commit first degree murder , we the jury find the defendant , Nathan Booth , guilty . In keeping with the verdict , I sentence you , Nathan Michael Booth , to death by consumption . Sentence to be carried out immediately following this session . Court is adjourned . Nathan , be honest with me , did you do it ? Yeah , I did . She was walking in front of a car and I pushed her out of the way . When did you know ? Know what ? That you were one of them . I 've always known . You know , there 's more of us out there than you think there are . He confessed . Remember our agreement . He 's to be given a quick death and no pain . I hope they choke on me . Our streets ! Our streets ! Our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! Our streets ! Congrats , Calvin , another winYou forgot your to-go bag , dear . He did n't have much meat on his bones . He had a lotta guts though . Why do you do it , defend them ? Someone has to . I must say , I prefer you this way . I got ta make my clients feel comfortable somehow . The world needs me , you know . Got ta have some semblance of order in the chaos . What will you do when there are no more of them left ? I 'm sure I 'll find a hobby . Though I think it will get pretty boring . This is a simple procedure with low risk of complication . You 'll be under for about three hours and you wo n't feel a thing . When you wake up , we 'll talk about it then . Do you have any questions ? No , I 'm okay , thank you . Good . I 'm just gon na lower you down a little bit so you 're lying flat . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need you to count down from 10 . Breathe. 10 . Nine . Yeah , just breathe . Eight . Seven . Keep breathing .

We talked about Game-Show Roger . You said you would n't doGame-Show Roger in the trailer . I lied . Look , you walked out on Molly with zero explanation . And now you 're avoiding her because you do n't know what to say . Look , Riggs , you want your roommate 's advice ? No . No , I do not want your advice .

You 're two out of three . So , uh , please take us through what happened . Sam and I met on a dating site for ... 50-somethings . It 's like Tinder 's used car lot . Okay , let 's , uh ... let 's focus on last night . Um , so you were , uh ... hiding ... under Sam 's desk . And ... And this man came in the room , and Sam told me to stay put .

I hear Trish talk about you all the time . Welcome back . Thank you . Just flew in from Dubai to press the button . It 's like a bucket list thing . And this is Henry Butler . The grocery man . Hey . It 's a pleasure . The man , the myth , the legend , yes , sir . I love your cantaloupes . This man okay , here ? Oh , yeah , he 's just a murderer . Come on . Alleged murderer . We 're gon na ...

Your story is that you ... Roger Mayfield Murtaugh ! The man flew 8,000 miles just to push the button . Your story 's that you threatened Sam , but you did n't kill him ? Yeah . This is unfixable . Are you gon na find another buildingfor him to blow up , huh ? Excuse me . You are unbelievable ! Yes , you ! You are unbelievable ! Can we lower the volume ? This is my place of business . I 'm sorry , am I disrupting your place of business ? Okay . Trish has a point . I 've experienced your tone-deafness often . But in all fairness , Trish , interrupting your eventwas an accident . Exactly . Now , can we agree it was a successful groundbreaking ? Ground was broken . All that was lost was a photo op . All ? Butler pulled out of the deal . You are unbelievable . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This was an accident . An accident . Yeah . But if you want to talk about the motorcycle that you ran over , unapologetically ... No . No , stop . You 're embarrassing yourself . It 's what I do . Listen . How about I talk to Butler ? He 's still in the building . What ? He 's here ? Shenanigan central ? Uh ... why ? Our homicide vic was Butler 's contract . It 's protocol . Do n't worry , he 's in good hands . Whose hands ? All right , I got one for you , lunatic . How is a Longhorn like a possum ? Mm . Both play dead at home and die on the road . All right , all right , how about what do you get when you cross a groundhog and an Aggie ? I 'll bite . Six more weeks of bad football . Okay , what 's happening ? He 's not driving you insane ? Actually , he 's being very hospitable . Mm . For a Longhorn . Riggs ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know , disguised as hospitality . I mean , it 's not his fault that his defense is terrible . You see that ? Now , he 's the first real guyI 've met in this city . Actually making me a tad bit homesick . He has that gift . Which is why I need to ask for my blueprints back . I got to head on back to Austin . Oh , no , no . Mr. Butler , there 's no better place than here for a flagship Butler 's . Please do n't pull out of the deal . Look , Trish , I understand your passion , and I appreciate that , darling , but you know , the juju just is n't right . My contractor was killed . Yeah , but , uh , LAPD has the killer in custody ... in record time , I might add . Actually , we do n't . Gary 's alibi checks out . He 's being released now . Uh , yeah , I-it 's not just my contractor . You know , I 've @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Who ? ... bidding on the property ... Uh , I do n't know , something or other ... Ortega ? And besides , I need to be in a city where I can get a good Texas meal . You know exactly what I 'm talking about , do n't you , partner ? Hey , Mr. Butler . The best Texas barbecue I 've ever had is right here in Los Angeles . Well , thank you . Shut up , not you . I do n't believe you , son . Well , stick around for a night , give Trish here another opportunity , I 'll serve it up myself , make a believer out of you . I 'll tell you what , I 'll call my wife , tell her I 'm running late . You 're on , buddy . That was amazing . Are you sure about this barbecue ? Hundred percent . It 's Molly 's . I-I thought he was n't seeing Molly . He 's not . This needs to work . It 's gon na work . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Right here . Here you go , sir . Thank you very much . Uh ... excuse ... oh , excuse me ... Here 's your change . Have a great day . Aw , thank you . Next . Hey ! Well , good golly , Miss Molly ! What can I get you ? Probably get that a lot . Hey , this is great , though . Right ? Congratulations . Oh , I also , uh , brought some of your ... some of your items from the house . Did n't know if maybe you 'd have a break , and maybe we could talk ? There 's a long line behind you . What would you like , sir ? Two meat combo , ribs and brisket . You got it . I mean , we 're good , right ? We do n't need to talk about everything . We 've known each other forever . I mean , we're-we 're floaters , right ? We-we float in and out of each other 's lives . Riggs , leave my stuff and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that 's actually why I 'm here . I have a business opportunity for you . Not interested . You know the , uh , Butler grocery stores in Texas ? The owner wants to try your barbecue . Butler ? You know Henry Butler ? Having dinner with him tonight . And I promised him that you would cook for him ... hey ! Little something for the tip jar , bud . Yeah . That 's how you say thank you . So what do you say ? Murtaugh 's , 7:00 tonight . Come on , Molly , your-your seasonings could be in every grocery store across the country . Okay , if I do this ... What the hell is wrong with me ? I would not be doing it as a favor for you . No . Beautiful . Riggs . Can you ... See you tonight . Okay , Bailey checked the phone records . The Ortega brothers definitely called Butler . They must be the threatening phone calls he was talking about . So I 've got 5:05 . Why do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Because tonight has to go perfectly . Okay ? We need to finish up here , get back to your place , shower , change and get to that dinner . Just relax . Everything 's gon na be fine . You-you listen to me . I 've never been more serious . I need to get back to my house . If this goes south tonight , I may be living with you forever . What time is it right now ? 5:06 . Let 's go . Miguel . You smell that ? Hmm ? I love the smell of fuel and motor oil . It reminds me of home . It sure does . Hmm . Hey , boys ! Officers , can we help you ? I 'm glad you asked . I 'd like to know why you drilled a forklift through a contractor named Sam Higgins . And make it quick , we 're , uh , on the clock . Yeah . You see , it was a big hole through the guy . I mean , the dude was a snake . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ warehouse , but he sold us out to some cowboy . Henry Butler ? So , let me get this straight , you guys killed Sam , and then , what , you just threatened Mr. Butler ? Is that right ? Wait , no , no , listen . We did n't kill nobody . I mean , it was n't worth it . We bought another spot . I believe him . You ? He 's got sincere eyes . Have a good day , gentlemen . Yep . The jack must be faulty . The jack must be faulty . Faulty jacks . Faulty ja ... happens all the time . Yeah , let 's take a look at that . Yep . Here we go . We 're gon na be late . Yeah . Oh , come on . Now I 'm down to one shirt . You need to shower . I do n't know why you took so long to get ready . It 's ridiculous . Well , some of us actually care how we look . What the hell 's that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that mean ? You 're late . Hi . Get in here . It 's his fault . Yeah , well , you know what ? We 're here . I 'm just gon na run this right upstairs . It 's fine in the foyer for now . Yeah , but do n't you want to have ... It 's fine in the foyer for now . You know what I 'm gon na do ? I 'm gon na go make sureMolly does n't need ... Nope . She said she does n't want you to . She specifically told me to tell you that . Classic Molly . That 's how we talk to each other . She ... Okay , you guys , this is not about you , and it 's not about you . Yes , ma'am . Butler is in the other room , and he is ready to leave on a plane for Texas at any moment . That 's ' cause he has n't tried the barbecue . Once he tries that barbecue , it ... And a mystery guest , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pull out of the deal , decided to show up . So I have one night to sell Butler without alarming Azoulay . So there will be zero shenanigans . Say it . There will ... no shenanigans . Say it . Z-Zero shenanigans . That 's right . That bag better go upstairs . It 'll be upstairs . Zero shenanigans . You 're the one . You 're the one that has all the ... You 're Mr. Shenanigans . They really love the , uh , little barbecue sausage things . Did n't Trish tell youI specifically do not want your help ? She did . But I think what she meant to say was that ... I meant I do not want you out here. ... that since I kind of left abruptly without an explanation that maybe an apology was in order . What ? No . That is not what I want . And even if I did , I do n't want it now , when I am in the middle of cooking a potentially career-making meal . Molly , hold on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You disappeared . And now you just want to pop back in and explain yourself on your schedule . No . Listen , Molly , I ... No , you just listen . We 've known each other for over 20 years . But you hurt me . Molly ... And I do n't want to keep doing this , pretending we 're friends and-and you 're actinglike you 're helping me ... Molly. ... with some job . I mean , what is ... Molly . Molly . Molly ! What is it that you just ca n't keep yourself from saying ? ! Ribs . They 're ruined . I ruined them . W ... I 've got chicken in the fryer . Now I 've got to prep new ribs . You 're a landmine , Riggs . This is probably whyTrish wanted me to ... You are gon na go in there , stand by that fryer , and watch . When that chicken is gold , take it out . You think you can handle that ? Well , so far , can I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Murtaugh will never let you down . She goes all out , even when she 's nottrying to sell you something . How do you mean ? You 're doing that very thing this very moment . Uh , more wine , Mr. Butler ? Why would we be trying to sell you on a deal that 's already closed ? No , no , no , do n't say anything . Oh , I wonder where that chicken is . Yeah . The Ortegas were with theirPO at the time of the murder . They 're drug dealers , but they did n't kill Sam . However , I thought it was odd that they were willing to overpay for the lot where Butler was building his grocery stores . And ? I got them to spill . The lot sits over an abandoned subway tunnel . Perfect for cooking , storing and moving drugs . That 's perfect for a drug dealer , but ... why 's Butler willing to overpay ? Bailey , pull those blueprints for me . I already tried . But Butler pulled some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Update on the ribs . They will be here imminently . Apparently , they 're being given a little extra love . Now , where was I ? Uh , gentlemen , can we not agree that there 's value to selling even after the original deal has been struck ? Take marriage , for example . Should n't a spouse have to prove his love to his wife every day ? And should n't he want to ? Trish . Hmm ? What is your Longhorn friend doing with my blueprints ? Roger . Roger 's gon na find out . Uh , he 's ... he 's so good with ... Riggs , this is coming very close to being categorized as a shenanigan . We need to give these plans back . Look , why was Butler willing to pay extra to build over these abandoned tunnels ? Because my beautiful wife , who 's on the verge of letting me back in my house , is a great negotiator . Or he 's up to something . Or both are true , all right ? But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Because he paid for them , just like I paid for my sins with Trish by staying in your clammy , little trailer . Where is the vent ? Right here . There 's a massive ventilation system running through the basement . No , the truck , not the ... It 's a supermarket . Please , focus . See , this is what happens when people spend too much time together . You start not knowing what the words are . I do n't know what you 're saying . What if that 's why Butler 's venting the tunnels ? Underground meth lab . Look . What is going on in here ? Baby , how well do you know Butler ? No . No ! How well do you ... Hold on , Trish . No , I do n't want to hold on . Just look at the draw ... Trish , just look at the blueprint . Riggs ! What 's burning ? The chicken is done . That 's chicken ? I thought that was possum . Please do n't throw the chicken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couch . What ... ? What are you doing ? Are those the same clothes you wore last night ? Oh , now I know what it feels like to be rock bottom . Another night in Riggs 's tin can , not even a toothbrush to my name . That 's a little dramatic , but okay . I thought you were back home . I was until Riggs decided that Butler is a meth dealer . Is he ? I do n't know . I did n't even get a chance to stick around because I was banished . Hey . Did n't you and Todd just add on to your house ? Right ? Oh , thank God . Bailey ! Urgent . Is everything okay ? Yeah . Murtaugh was just , uh , taking me through your , uh , Butler theory . Very promising . Really ? I thought it was pretty thin . How thin is it ? Skeletal . All we know is that the property includes old subway tunnels ; other buyers were drug dealers , and Butler 's store will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ na have to put some meat on those bones . Okay , so if we can prove thatButler was cooking meth , that 's motive for murder . We can solve the case and save Murtaugh 's marriage . And if we do that by midnight , I still win . You win what ? The office pool . Do n't look at me . I already lost . So Molly was n't cool with things after all ? Well , I mean , in her defense , I mean , I did ruin everything . You know , I mean , ruined the ribs , burnt the chicken , almost burned down her truck . Sounds like quite the night . Well , it 's classic Riggs . At least you were trying . That counts for something . Does it ? I think so . Clearly you do n't . I just ... ... I 've been so selfish . You know ? Doc , I think I may have ruined something good ... something real . Well , everybody makes mistakes . And everybody deserves a second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's what will make you happy . He's-he 's just not sure . Man , tell him . Cap , I cracked this case wide open . With what ? Squash . What ? It 's like racquetball . It 's not like racquetball . I played in college . It is like racquetball . The balls are more dense . They do n't bounce . It requires finesse . Not the sport , the vegetable . According to this manifest , a truck of squash left Butler 's El Paso store weighing 20,000 pounds . But by the time it checked in at the next weigh station , it weighed 15,000 . So there 's 5,000 pounds missing . Well , either somebody got a big payday or a big boost in fiber . So , how do we prove the 5,000 pounds is meth ? We do n't . Oh , great . So I guess I 'll just have my mail delivered to Riggs 's now . But there may be another way . Butler was only paying taxes on the lighter weights that were logged in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the weights that were leaving the store . And that 's fraud , which is a good enough reason to get a search warrant and to call Trish . Come on . Now is not a good time , Roger . I am meeting Butler on his plane to try to save this deal . Trish , do not get on that plane . He 's dirty . Why ? Because the man wants a well-ventilated basement ? You have no proof of any of it . I have squash . Well , I think what you mean is squat , as in diddly , as in nothing . Nothing ! Listen , Trish , there are major discrepancies in Butler 's squash shipments . All that extra weight that he 's not declaring could be drugs . Or it could be kielbasa or it could be beach balls or it could be a typo . Listen , I do n't have time for this . I have to catch Butler before his plane takes off . I have to go . Bye . Hello ? This was a simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ damn mess . I ask you to take care of someone , you do it quietly . Heavy machinery ai n't quiet . Monster-trucking a guy with a big-ass fork ? Not quiet . I get it . Right . Thought I could make it look like an accident . An accident ? Well , how 'd that work out for us ? What were you thinking ? Huh ? Please do n't be a butt dial . Do n't be a butt dial . Hey , baby . Roger . Hey , you were right about Butler . You were right . Of course I am . Look , I 'm not the kind of guy who says I told you so , but baby , I told you so . Mrs. Murtaugh . Hello ? Trish ? Mr. Butler , I did n't see you there . Clearly . Plane 's ready for takeoff , Mrs. Murtaugh . Shall we ? Well , listen , I just got a call that I have some business I need to take care of this morning . How about I meet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that 's not gon na work for me . I 'm a very busy man . Please . You know , I got to tell you , I apologize for interrupting your phone call . Hope it was n't too important . Actually , it was my husband . We were talking about you . Uh-huh . I was afraid that might be the case . Mr. Butler , I need to be honest with you . You really want to do this here ? I do n't think I 'll have a chance to do it again . The business you bought was rezoned last year and you are overpaying . Now , the reason we did n't disclose it was because it would cost us money . Now ... if you want to end it , I 'll understand . I ca n't believe the last thing I said to my beautiful wife , the mother of our children , is , " I told you so . " Well , you also ruined her grand opening . Oh , and-and the dinner party and you moved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! Is that Butler 's plane ? Come on . Come on , Rog ! Come on ! Hey ... no guns . What ? Yeah . A bullet could hit Trish . You do n't thinkI understand cabin pressure ? You do n't understand brushing your teeth , you do n't understandwashing your feet . What the ... I do n't see her . What do you mean ? I thought she was meetingButler on the plane . Hello . Trish . Roger ! Where are you ? Your phone keeps going to voice mail . I 'm 39,000 feet in the air . What ? ! Oh ... You 're on Butler 's plane ? Why are n't you ? Defense attorney . I talked my way out of it . I am safely in my car . Hey , do you mind ? Roger ! Do n't shoot ! I told you no guns . Hey , that was n't my fault . Uninvited guests once again , huh , fellas ? Some welcome . You might wan na take your finger off that trigger . Or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh , I ai n't dying today , son . These are Glaser safety slugs , designed for air marshals . What do you say we put the weapons down , boys , huh ? Slowly . Attaboy . Oh , Riggs ! It 's okay , Rog . Just relax , I got this , okay ? Of course you do . You 're a SEAL . You can land this thing in your sleep . With both hands tied behind your back , doing one-armed push-ups . Ai n't that right , baby-bubba ? I think the autopilot 's locked . Oh , I ca n't ... These things are much different than my crop dusters back in Texas , Rog . Oh , no , no , no , no ! Hey . Parachute . You got another one ? There 's only one . Oh , I ca n't go out like this , Riggs . Sorry , Rog . No ! Aw , just kidding . Help me find something to tether us together . Together ? That chute wo n't hold both of us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I have a wife , I have kids that depend on me . You ... You do n't have nothing to live for , man . Hey ... what if I want that ? With Molly ? Yeah , I mean , you know , maybe I want , like , a house and , you know , like , a picket fence and ... yeah , maybe with Molly . That 's beautiful , Riggs . Thank you . You deserve that . I feel like I deserve it . You do . Rog , we 're running out of time . OkayOkay . You get ... Yeah , that 's it . Go , go , go . And you be the hero ? You take that . What are you talking about ? Just put it on and go . I do n't want it . I 'm not gon na take it . I 'm not gon na ... Okay , okay , so now we 're gon na jump out , and I 'm gon na try to catch the parachute in midair , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . That 's the least of our worries , Rog . Riggs ! Help ! Pull the cord , Riggs ! Pull the damn cord ! Do n't take this the wrong way , Rog , but I need a little space . Tax fraud provided a warrant . I ca n't believe squash brought down a killer . It 's such an underrated vegetable . Not to mention sport . Now , the Texas Rangers are raiding meth labs in a dozen of Butler 's grocery stores . Speaking of a good haul ... Are those matching robes ? In the finest terrycloth . I finally have a houseguest . Murtaugh will want for nothing . They 're very plush , Scorsese . But I hope you kept the receipt . Why ? Oh , hey , sorry , I , uh ... left my duffle the other night . You jumped out of a plane . I know . There were ... It was crazy . But there were extenuating circumstances . No , no , no , Roger . You jumped out of a plane ... for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I miss you , too . Welcome back , baby . I 'm so sorry . I acted like a big fool . No . No , no , no , no . I 'm sorry . I should have never run over ... Hey , hey , hey ... It does n't matter . We both dug in . I know , I know I did . But not anymore . No ? From now on , I 'm letting everything go but you . Really ? Mm-hmm . Mm-hmm . Well , maybe we should go look for your duffle . I think I saw it somewhere in ... the bedroom . Ooh . Ooh . I missed you . Excuse me , can I get a brisket sandwich ? Oh , we 're all out for the day . We 'll see you tomorrow , though ? Sorry about that . Not now . Just give me five minutes , and I 'll get out of your hair ? You got two . I owed you an explanation when I ended things . I 'm sorry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that . You treated me like regular people . I know . You broke my heart . I thought I was doing the right thing . Okay . Thanks for the apology . Molly . Hey ... Hey , hey , hey . Are we good ? Yeah , sure , Riggs , we 're good . Just , you know , consider us friends again . I do n't want to just be friends . Okay ? I want more than that . Okay , well , then I 'm gon na need to know more . I need to know why . Why did you end it ? Because my dad killed Ben 's dog . Why did n't you say something ? What do you mean why did n't I say something ? Molly , I was trying to protect you and Ben . Okay , okay , so you say you want me back . Well , what now ? What 's changed ? I 've changed . You tell me what you want me to do , and I 'll do it . You know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known you , your dad has just cast this dark shadow . He walks into your life , and you smash up everything you 've worked so hard for . And it hurts people . I mean , he 's never gon na go away , so how are you gon na live your life ? I do n't know . Well , you need to figure it out with your dad . That 's what I want

And everyone 's a bad guy , so I did n't know who to call . Okay , okay . Okay , Amy , I 'm glad you called . That was really smart of you . Look , I need you to take a deep breath . Everything is gon na be all right . Say that back to me . It 's gon na be all right . Now , can you tell if he 's breathing ? Put your hand on his chest . Is it moving up and down ? Mm-hmm . Yeah .

Hey , I think the agent 's gon na be okay . But we need to wake him up . Do you know what a noogie is ? Yeah . All right . Make a fist and rub your knuckles in his chest super hard so it hurts . What the hell ? What 'd you do that for ? Your ex-wife told me to . Wh-What ? Let me talk to him . She wants to talk to you . Hello ? What is going on ? Lila , no . This is not your concern . How is it not my concern ? You 're injured . You passed out . You may have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richards probably has guys at the hospital watching you right now . You 're not involved in this . Just tell ... Damn it . Get in the car . So , this is it ... just one dose ? Just one dose . Then what 's the chip in my neck for ? Monitors your vital signs . Tells us your location . Sensitivity to sunlight is a side effect ? Can be . But , if all goes well ... you 'll be impervious to disease . How is any of this legal ? It 's not , is it ? If this was on the up-and-up , you guys , you would n't be looking for prisoners to experiment on . We 're in a desperate situation , Mr. Carter . So are you . I ca n't argue with that . But why am I more scared now than I was on death row ? I 'm gon na make sure you come through this with flying colors , Mr. Carter . I 'll be back to check on you in a bit . Is this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Using human beings as lab rats ? No . I could never have imagined any of this . All right , I 'm gon na say this one more time .

I love you , too . All right , hang on . Hang on . Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality . So all those amazing neurons are generating your experience . They're-they 're filling in the gaps . Your sense of self ... That 's not real . What we think of as our humanity , as our-our selves ... That 's just a story that our neurons are telling us . Now , this is extremely hard for me to swallow because I have an enormous ego . Jonas , I 'm not interested . I 've got a book tour . I 'm not going to South America to-to look in some cave with you for a myth . Thank you , but no . I have new evidence . Oh , yeah ? The 250-year-old man , he send you a selfie ? Elizabeth has Alzheimer 's . When was she diagnosed ? Three months ago . It 's ... it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Tim . I mean , she 's gotten lost in the city , like , three times already . Why did n't you call me ? I 'm a neurologist , for God 's sake . This Bolivia thing ... It could help her . I have a blood sample , some scientist in Bogot . You really have to see it . It 's a game changer . Hey . No more phone calls , okay ? You threw the phone out of the window . Yeah . I threw the phone out of the window because they can find us if you make a phone call . Do n't you watch TV ? I watch a lot of TV , actually . Usually the main guydoes n't pass out behind the wheel . I 'd like to point out that the main guy got shot . Where are we going ? Do you have a plan ? I have a friend in Wisconsin . You have a friend ? Something wrong ? No . Lila seems nice . Yeah . Smart , too . Mm-hmm . Also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hung up on her . Hey , what is your problem ? I do n't know . I 've been kidnapped , shot at and chased , and the last thing I 've had to eat in 24 hoursis churros and doughnuts . Hey , that ... -No . You had a hot dog at the carnival. -And then you decided it 'd be a great time to pass out . I did n't decide to pass out . You said you would n't leave me . I did n't leave you . Passing out was leaving me . I thought you were dead . I 'm not dead . Good . ' Cause you do n't get to die , and you do n't get to pass out . And you do n't get to not have a plan . Okay . And you owe me a unicorn . Fine . Fine . Do I get anything out of this deal ? You do n't leave me and I do n't leave you . Why did we park so far away ? And that 's with the goats ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hermit . She likes things a certain way . The goats ... the goats are new . I do n't know anything about the goats . Whoa , whoa . All right , cover your ears . Put your hands up . Come on , come on . Bradley ? What the hell happen to you ? I got shot . Well , that 's disappointing . Who 's the kid ? This is Amy Bellafonte . Hi . Amy , you want to go wash up ? Bathroom 's upstairs . Okay . Thank you . You got a lot of firepower here , even for you . Is it enough for whatever 's following you ? It 's that sketchy job , is n't it ? I told you not to take that . I need shelter , Lacey . I raise goats now . Oh , yeah ? How 's that going for you ? Make my own cheese , grow most of my own food . Also , I started painting . That all sounds magical . Can we stay here or not ? Go clean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the kitchen . Pain killers , too . And then you 're gon na read me into whatever mess you got yourself into . Listen up . He crossed into Wisconsin three hours ago . I got to think he 's headed for Canada . The border patrol has been alerted , but he is slippery , and he has friends . I want to be clear . If you have a shot , take it . Shoot to kill . I got Carter 's blood work . Looks like his T and B cell receptors have already enhanced . That 's good news . Look . He-he had a football injury , and all that cartilage is already restored . He got the formula less than five hours ago . It always takes my breath away , -the power of what you discovered. -Yep . And yet we ca n't seem to control it . Nichole ... let 's please not do this . Let the little girl go . Jonas ... she 's gon na come through . She wo n't be harmed . How can you be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You think I like it ? You think I 'm sleeping well ? I 'm not . We have to do this . So we have to make sure she comes through intact . Please , Jonas , get your head in the game . She needs you . I need you . Let 's see this thing through . The thing you started . Oh , my God , this is fascinating . Just take a look at the number of T and B cell receptors in there . Yeah , I know . Never seen anything like this . This is huge . This could alter the course of Elizabeth 's Alzheimer 's . Jonas , this ... could be the cure for everything . Can we be fast enough , though ? Yeah , we will . I know , like , six billionaires who 'd bankroll this today . We just need to be careful . We want to maintain control . Jonas , we 're gon na do everything right , I promise . Okay ? You just ... you got to let me do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Thank you . This is amazing . Jonas , we 're ... we 're gon na change the world . Yeah , you 'll see . How do you know the agent ? Bradley ? He was my student in the Navy . Land warfare . He was one of my favorites , but do n't tell him that . You were in the Navy ? Yep . But you 're not anymore ? Nope . What , did you join it right after high school ? Actually , no . Before I was in the NavyI was a nun . You 're serious ? God is Lacey 's ex-husband . How do you know God 's a man ? Ex-wife , then . You know about this ? Bradley knows everything about everyone . He asks questions . That 's what made him a good hostage negotiator . Like in bank robberies ? And other high-stakes negotiations , yes . Pretty fascinating , Amy . Amy , you want to go and feed some goats ? Sure . Yeah , I 'm not gon na come . No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . How did you know I was here ? Well , who else do you know in Wisconsin ? Oh , man . I got rid of your car , Bradley . What 'd you do with it ? I got a guy . Huh . I forgot about your grilled cheese . It 's one of your best qualities , this sandwich . Thanks . Where 's Amy ? Upstairs , watching a movie . There you go . I , uh , arranged a boat ride for you . I can get you to Canada . Passports ? I got a guy who can get you across the border . You always got a guy . What are you gon na do once you get to Canada ? You know it 's not over just because you cross the border . If they keep chasing us , we 'll just go to Amsterdam . Amsterdam ? Sure . These people are never gon na stop , Bradley . They can get to Amsterdam . You wo n't be safe until the public knows what you know about Project @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are this precious little girl here . They 'll just find another child , wo n't they ? That 's right , and that child will have just as sad a story as our Amy . Now you think about that for a minute . I do n't want to be a whistleblower , Lacey . I tried that , we almost got killed . Then let me do it . I have some things to atone for , as you know . You get the girl safe and I 'll get the story out . Give me their names , Bradley . The 12 on death row . Who are they ? Joseph Morrison . Victor Chavez . Kathy Turrell . David Winston . Julio Martinez . Shauna Babcock . Anthony Carter . Hey , you made it . I 'm sorry , do I know you ? Yeah , you do . You will . Uh ... okay . So how do you feel ? Honestly , I feel like a million bucks . Like I-I can fly or lift a car over my head or something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at first , and then it gets a little janky . Everything is okay if you just do what he says . Do what who says ? Hello , Carter . How are you ? You look great . Does n't he ? So , how is my old friend Jonas ? A little word of advice : do n't trust him . Go on . Drink it . You know what ? Nah , I 'm good . Just do it . First time 's the hardest , and then you get to like ... I said no . It 's okay . You do n't have to drink it now . You still have to settle up , though . I 'm sorry . I do n't ... I do n't have any money . Oh , we do n't take money here . Oh . Wait ... You pay with yourself . I do n't ... I do n't want a thing to do with you . Hey , Carter , give Jonas a message for me , will you ? You want more lidocaine ? No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're fine ? Really ? You got shot and you passed out . Let 's not throw in a staph infection . How 's Dave ? Is it Dave or David ? It 's David . Mm . Of course it is . How is David ? He 's great . He 's outside waiting in the car , actually . Oh , yeah ? Mm-hmm . Did you crack a window for him ? Oh , sorry . So , what 's the timeline on this " having David 's baby " thing ? You pregnant already ? No . I 'm not . It kind of seems like you are , though . You know , what are you gon na do ... Run away with this girl and make her pancakes inAmsterdam on Saturday mornings ? Yes . I watched our daughter die . I could n't stop it . And I shut down , and ... and I could n't help you . And I could n't let you help me , and then I j ... I just stopped believing in anything . But then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She 's a tomboy . Just like Eva . Like Eva , yeah . So much . She does n't have anybody . And it 's so clear to me that what I 'm supposed to do right now is to make sure that she 's safe . It 's the only thing that 's made sense to me in a long time . I 've missed you . Psst. -00 a.m . Ca n't sleep ? Mm-mmm . Me neither . Can I ask you a personal question ? Yeah . Are you an assassin ? No . Okay . ' Cause you assassinated some people today . I served in Afghanistan . And , uh , then I became a federal agent . And ... It was pretty scary today , huh ? Can I ask you another personal question ? Sure . Do you believe in God ? You thinking about your mom ? Of course you are . You know , when people die , it 's our job to remember them . Even if it hurts . How about I read to you ? I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Okay . From the beginning ? Yeah . Mm . Flashlight . Oh . Okay . Here we go . " It was a dark and stormy night . " In her attic bedroom " Margaret Murry , " wrapped in an old patchwork quilt , " sat on the foot of her bed " and watched the trees tossing in the frenzied lashing of the wind . " And you do n't know how this got on your bed ? I got a notice to pick this car up . That 's all I know . Where you taking it ? To the impound , where I take ' em all . That 's my job . And you do n't know who called this one in ? It got sent through dispatch . I do n't know who called them , so can I go or what ? I think you know exactly who asked you to transport this car . Tell me now . I do jobs for her sometimes . She pays me in cash . I want a name . Lacey . Lacey Antoine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you out of your mind ? They came through with the most money , by far . They see it as a wayto combat infectious disease . Tim , this-this timetableis insane . Do n't you see ? We go with the guys who make the rules so we can break the rules . What-what are you saying ? I 'm talking about a fast track . You 're talking about tossing ethics in the garbage . Elizabeth ... this is for you . No , this is for you . I want you to stay with me . And you 're either going to fail or you 're gon na cross some ethical line that you 've worked your whole life to uphold . You will look back on this with searing regret , and you wo n't have me to talk to about it , because this disease is going to have its way with me no matter what you do . Mr. Carter , how are you feeling today ? I just did six miles , and I felt like I could 've kept going forever . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad dreams , though . Maybe I can get something for that ? A sleeping pill ? Sure . Anything remarkable about your dreams ? Yeah . It 's the same guy every time . And I think you know him ... That Dr. Tim Fanning . He says he 's a friend of yours , but that I should n't trust you . He says to tell you that ... you already changed the world . You just have to wait and see how . Hey , honey . You look beautiful . Sorry I 'm late . I 'm not having a great day . Everything 's spinning out of control and , uh ... ... and it 's all my fault . You were so right . I think I may have missed ... a lecture . But nobody here will tell me what day it is . I miss you so much . Hey , baby . You miss me ? I ... I thought they pulled you off the floor . Not enough bodies . Lucky me . Why do you hit her cage ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it here . No cell phones , no Wi-Fi . Only good thing about this place ...

I 'd like all possible scenarios on my desk before lunch . Yes , Dr. Latham . Keep your chin up . You 'll figure it out . You know , you do n't have to do that . What ? Act like you do n't enjoy seeing me on the hot seat . Go ahead and buy it . If I were in your position , I would . Dr. Rhodes , Dr. Bekker , they need you in the ED . Okay . You 're saying I have damage to my heart ? Uh , to be specific , it 's your mitrovalve . Uh , when it 's not functioning properly , the body does n't get enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weak and short of breath . But she 's never had any problems with her heart before . In all likelihood , Tracy was born with a defect , and it just did n't show any symptoms until now . Um , the baby has apparently added strain to your heart , which has caused it to present itself . We 'll need surgery to replace the defective valve . Oh ... Okay . There are ... potential complications . Complications ? Due to your pregnancy , the medication needed to conduct the surgery could cause a life threatening vaginal bleed , and given that your fetus has n't reached viability ... Wh ... what are you saying ? We think it 's best for your health if you terminate before undergoing surgery . What ? No . You do n't understand . Her husband , Roy ... we lost him in a car accident three months ago . We had just got the news that I was pregnant . He was so excited . He wanted this so bad . Tracy , trust me , I understand what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you nor your baby will survive . Honey , please ... listen to the doctors . No . No ! This baby is all I have left . I wo n't let you take it from me . The patient understands that , without surgery , condition could be fatal ? Yeah , we explained the risks . Well , so , your concerns are certainly justified . We need blood thinners to keep the bypass pump for clotting . Hm . Have you considered a minimally invasive valvuloplasty ? Yes , but due to the level of stenosis and the presence of regurgitation , we do n't feel that she 's a candidate . We have to open her chest . What if there is another option ? What ? If we lower the dose of the blood thinners and use a heparin-coated bypass tube , there is a chance that we could save both mom and baby . According to Dr. Manning , Tracy 's Level Two ultrasound showed placenta previa , which puts her at an even greater risk of developing a serious bleed . Ava , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she has left of her dead husband . Do n't we have an obligation to honor the patient 's wishes ? So , we should let the patient 's emotional involvement impact our medical decisions ? I think we owe it to her to give it a shot , yes . With close monitoring , it is possible to stay ahead of any bleeding . Dr. Rhodes , if you believe that this is the best course of action , please proceed . Thank you . Well ... good luck . Are you taking her up to surgery ? Yeah . I 'm worried about her . Connor 's taking a big risk . Hey , you two , Treatment Six . Okay . Hi . You must be Cody . What 's his temp ? 102 .

I-I did n't wan na put him through that again , you know ? I understand , all right . It makes sense why you did n't wan na get him vaccinated . Let 's get a CBC , CMP , and a chest X-ray , okay ? I promise we 're gon na do everything we can to take care of your son , okay ? We 'll be back soon . All right ... couple of more seconds and I 'll have the valve free . No evidence of bleeding . Good . There . Got it . All right , let 's get a sizing tool . I 'm gon na measure the opening , determine what size valve we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Let 's open a21-millimeter porcine valve . Manufacturer had some production delays with that size valve . It 's on backorder . But I have a mechanical . Can we get one from another supplier ? Sure , but it 'll take an hour or morefor a rep to get here . Marty ? With any other patient , maybe , but every minute this woman 's on pump reduces her chances of maintaining this pregnancy . Okay , then let 's open the mechanical valve . Mechanical valve means she 'll need heparin post-operatively . She 'll be more likely to bleed . We need to wait for a porcine . You heard what Marty said . This baby does n't have an hour . We do n't have a choice . Thank you again for stopping . It saves me so much time . Right on the way back from Cohn County .

You made it ... on time . Do n't act so surprised . How 's he doing ? Stable for the moment . Uh ... listen , about this morning ... thanks for being there . Yeah . Guess I better get to work . I 'll check in later . You hear about the missing Percocet ? Yeah , I 'm not surprised . It was a chaotic day . You know , I hate to even mention this , but ... you do n't think Emily could 've had something to do with it , do you ? What ? She was working that day , she had access , and now her friend OD 's at a party ? And how 'd she afford those new Louboutins ? Lou @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Do you know how expensive they are ? April , you 're the one that keeps telling me to give her a chance . Did Emily show poor judgment this morning ? Absolutely . But this kid OD 'd on heroin , not Percocet . Is there something else about Emily I 'm missing ? No , uh ... I 'm sorry . Forget I mentioned it . Okay . So , get this , it turns out thatRobert Haywood did know one of those co-eds that disappeared : Olivia Coveny . Oh , yeah ? The one from Madison , yeah , was his student . And I saw a picture of ' em together this morning at his apartment . Wait a minute , you ... you went to his apartment ? Sarah and I were doing rounds at the jail this morning , and she needed to pick up some of this stuff , and so we just stopped on the way back . But what happened to , " We 're gon na forget all about it " ? She asked for my help . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ car ? And I could n't help , seeing the picture was right there . And , by the way , part of me says , " So they knew each other . So what ? Student , you know , teacher . " But the thing is is that in the picture , he had his arm around her . Well , have you considered calling t-he Madison Police Department ? No , I did . The detective I talked to , I do n't know , he just did n't seem that interested . You know , ten years ago , it was a cold case . Mm . If I only had , like , two more minutes in that apartment . Daniel ... What ? Be careful . Sats are dropping . What 's happening ? Respiratory failure . Bag him. 20 of etomidate , 100 of sux . We need to intubate now . Sats are down to 87 . Nat ... I 'm almost there . Oh , God ... 82 . I 'm in . Now , let 's get 10 parts per @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chest X-ray for tube placement . Dad ? Oh , Sarah . She 's even lovelier than you said . Thank you . I should probably get going , but , um ... thank you , Robert . This has meant so much to me . As to me . What was that all about ? That ... was the widow of my heart donor . She had asked to meet me . I admit I was reticent about the whole thing , but , surprisingly ... it felt good . Sats are still in the tank . Nitric oxide did n't work . Neither did low volume ventilation . Where 's the mom ? She went to grab a cup of coffee . We should get him up to the PICU . I called already . They do n't have an isolation room available . This flu epidemic is wreaking havoc . It 's time to consider ECMO . Yeah . Hey , uh , what do you think of this ? A rash ? Mm-hmm . It 's not abnormal . I 'll call the ICU , see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Choi , we need you . He 's having a seizure . Push 2 of Ativan . All right , take it easy , take it easy . His eyes are icteric . There 's something wrong with his liver . From the heroin ? Not likely . Did we get his labs back ? I think they came in a few minutes ago . Okay . Positive for acetaminophen . That 's in Percocet . Uh , let 's also start a NAC , 140 milligrams per kilogram . Okay . April , what you said about the missing drugs ... Oh , forget it , I should n't have gone there . Actually , you should 've . I thought this kid OD 'd on heroin , but his labs came back positive for both opioids and acetaminophen . I ca n't tell it 's exactly what he took , but ... the most likely source isPercocet , our missing drug . You thought from the beginning this could be a possibility . Why ? I do n't know . Maybe what you 've told me about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me ? Remember that first day Emily came to stay with you ? Yeah . She cleaned up and cooked dinner . She also had some people over . I found an ash tray full of cigarette butts in the bathroom . You did n't think I should know ? I just ... I wanted you two to get off on the right foot . She begged me not to say anything . I 'm sorry . I should 've told you . Yeah . I 'm gon na go talk to her . Maybe she 'll come clean to me . No . She 's my sister . I 'll do it . Dr. Charles , what a pleasant surprise . Dr. Haywood , just wanted to ... To stop by , see how you 're doing . Well , I wo n't be running a marathon any time soon , but I 'm getting along much better . You know , Sarah told me you spent some time up in Madison . I had no idea . Yeah . I spent a few semesters . You know , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do a forensic psychiatry seminar . I do n't know , worth my time ? Worth the trip ? I found Madison to be a bit , uh , claustrophobic . Good to know . Good to know . Could you do me a favor ? Course . Would you mind ... getting me a book from that box ? Yeah . Ha , Grisham . Well , Sarah does n't know me very well . All right , Dr. Haywood , time for your exercises . Sorry to cut this short , Dr. Charles . I hope you 'll stop by again soon . You can count on it . The surgery was a success . We managed to replace your valve and stave off any bleeding . And the baby ? The baby pulled through just fine . Thank you , Dr. Rhodes . Thank you . I 'll be back to check in on you soon , see how you 're doing , okay ? Dr. Rhodes , good work . Things broke our way this time . Nonetheless , well done . Hey , I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the conjoined twins simulation ? Uh , Dr. Bekker and I suspect it was the placement of the clamps that caused the problem , but we 've already confirmed that the coronary vessels and vagus nerve were not affected . What about the sinoatrial node ? We had n't considered that , given its location . Well , the anatomy of these hearts is highly irregular , so it 's possible that we clamped the SA node and it cut off the heart 's electrical activity . So are you suggesting moving the L.A. clamp laterally ? Worth a shot . Ah ... Dr. Rhodes , why do n't we test your theory before the next simulation ? Meet me in the lab in an hour . Okay . I take it that means good news for Tracy and her baby ? You know what they say , right ? Fortune favors the bold . Catheter 's in good position . Let 's double-check circuit tubing , and set goal flow at 35 to 40 ccs per kilogram per minute . I was lucky there was an ECMO available . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you ... I do n't think we should put him on ECMO . Why not ? The rash on Cody 's IV site , given his history of intense allergic reactions ? I think he may have undiagnosed systemic mastocytosis . You 're jumping to that from a rash ? Kids with mastocytosis generally produce an overabundance of histamine . If Cody has it , passing his blood through the machine could send him into anaphylactic shock . Given the state his lungs are in , he would not survive that . Mastocytosis is extremely rare , Natalie , and we do n't have time for a biopsy to confirm it . Dr. Halstead , we 're ready . All right . What about PLV ? Partial liquid ventilation ? I thought that was reserved for preemies . There have been some clinical trials with encouraging results . PLV 's a good idea , in theory . I ... I 'm not sure we should be risking a kid 's life by using a treatment that 's unproven . Will , I know we 've had our disagreements , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , your call . Stop . We 're not putting him on ECMO . Wait a minute , you ... you 're saying you wan na drown my son ? I assure you , Karen , Cody will not drown . But you ... you ... you 're gon na fill his lungs with fluid . It 's called Perflubron . It has unique properties , including the ability to hold large amounts of oxygen . Yeah , at this point , Cody 's lungs are too damaged to absorb oxygen through the air , so our hope is that this treatment helps oxygen penetrate Cody 's lungs and restore his breathing . Have you done this before ? Um ... This procedure is performed quite often with neonates . We feel strongly it 's the best chance we have at saving your son 's life . Okay . Go ahead . Maggie , I 'm gon na be out of pocket for a little bit . For how long ? Uh , three or four hours . If anybody needs me , just redirect them to Dr. Kwon . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Robert Haywood still has a storage locker in Madison , Wisconsin that he rented beforeOlivia Coveny disappeared . Okay ? Okay , so I 'm going up there to check it out . Come on , Daniel , let the proper authorities handle it . The proper authorities , they 're just not that interested right now . I have a limited window . Stop . Look , I know you 're trying to protect Dr. Reese , but no matter what you find , you are really putting your relationship with her at risk . Sharon , if there 's even a remote chance that any of this stuff is true ... And , trust me , I do n't want it to be ... It 's a risk I 'm willing to take . Hear you might have found a solution . Fingers crossed . Looks like it 's all coming up roses for you today . You two , join me . Yes , sir . I mean , I 'm still hoping it 's me who gets to do the surgery . No surprise there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the bridge , between the two atria , that could solve our problem . I 'll let Dr. Frisch know that we 're readyto run another simulation . Okay . Dr. Rhodes , Dr. Bekker , they need you back in the ICU . What 's going on ? Her BP just started plummeting . Bag her . What 's going on with my daughter ? Uh , ma'am ... She 's hemorrhaging . Uh ... all right . All right , hang 2 units ofO-neg on a pressure bag . Give me the ultrasound . We need to check her fetus and take a look at her placenta . Placenta 's marginally separating , causing her to bleed . Fetal heart tones are strong . We 'll reverse the blood thinners . Hopefully , the placenta will tamponade itself . If we reverse the thinners , her new valve could clot off . We 'll lose mom and baby . We have to get her to the O.R.Look , we can still save this pregnancy . It 's too late for that . If we have any hope @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emergency hysterectomy . Stop the heparin drip . Bolus a gram of TXA . We 're not gon na lose either of them . He still has n't woken up . No . How well do you know Jeremy ? Not that well . I mean , just from around . I had no idea he was using heroin . I do n't think that 's what Jeremy OD 'd on . No ? No . Pretty sure it was Percocet , which , coincidentally , is the same drug that went missing from the dispensary last week . So ? What , are you suggesting that I took them ? Did you ? You know how easy it is to score pharmaceuticals on the street ? Jeremy could 've gotten them from anyone . But he was at the party with you . Ethan , I swear , I did n't take those drugs . So where 'd you get the money for the Louboutins ? Louboutins ? What do you even know about Louboutins ? She put you up to this , did n't she ? Your uptight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two of you have done since I moved in is hover around , waiting for me to make a mistake . That 's not true . Yeah , all my life it 's been like this . You know , I 've had it . Emily ... No , I 'm not working some placethat thinks I 'm a criminal . Em ... Emily ... Happy ? You got him all to yourself now . How 's she doing ? She 's passing an old clot , but there 's no more active bleeding . Placenta looks like it tamponaded itself . Fetal heart tones are steady . We 've got a problem . Pressure 's down . Heart rate 's spiking . She 's clotting off that valve . We need to get her to the O.R . and replace the valve . Let 's go , come on ! What 's happening ? Stop ! No pulse . She must be in V-fib . Let 's get a crash cart ! Come on . Come on , Tracy . Come on . Stay with us . Charge to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Please save her ! Please ! Hold compressions . Come on . Clear ! Still no pulse .

If you want , I can help the mother with the paperwork . No . This is my responsibility . Ms. Barker , I am so sorry for your loss . You talked my daughter into this , and now she 's gone forever . You did this . This is all your fault ! It 's all your fault ! Dr. Manning ... Cody 's temp 's back up to 103.7 . What are his sats ? 83%. 83 ? He 's getting worse . Okay . Hey , how 's he doing ? PLV 's not working . I made a huge mistake , Will . Natalie ... No , I should 've just put him on ECMO , but I got carried away , and I might 've just put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ listen to you ? Good thing you did n't . You were right . What ? Cody tested positive for mastocytosis . If you had put Cody on ECMO , he could 've gone into anaphylactic shock . You may have just saved his life . No , I have n't ... not yet . Guess things got out of hand last night . Yeah , you 're lucky Emily called us . According to your blood work , you had a high concentration of opioids in your system , along with toxic levels of acetaminophen . Most likely due to the Percocet . Yeah . So where 'd you get those pills ? Do you have a prescription ? No ... I mean ... my dad does . He had back surgery a few weeks ago . I swept some from his medicine cabinet . I feel like an idiot . Get some rest . We 'll check on you soon . You think he 's telling the truth ? No reason to doubt him . When it comes to my sister , I 'm so used to assuming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stealing those drugs . Have Noah work up Jeremy 's discharge . I need to find Emily , make things right . Dr. Manning ? Yes ? Cody 's sats are back above 90 . Looks like he 's out of the woods . Thank you for saving my boy . Of course . I just found out myself . Neurology 's in there now , doing a quick exam . You know what , we did good today . Yeah , we did , did n't we ? I mean , together . Dr. Rhodes , good . We 're just about to get started . You coming ? Dr. Latham , with your permission , I would like to remove myself from the team . Why ? I think it would be best for the patients and for everyone involved . A surgery with this level of difficulty and in that environment ... I do n't know that I can trust my judgment . Are you sure about this ? Yes . Mm . Very well . So , your dad had back surgery ? Yeah . Awfully @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where I got them . Mm-hmm . According to your tox screen , the Percocet you took were hospital grade . That means they did n't come from your dad 's medicine cabinet . Possessing a Schedule Two narcotic with that level of potency is a felony offense . Now , I 'm not gon na report you , but I need you to tell me . Emily . She sold them to me . Emily ? Em ? What 's up ? You want a rematch ? I was just wondering , are you still holding onto Mom 's wedding ring ? Yeah , of course . Why would n't I ? Oh ... Just trying not to be a knucklehead . Okay , uh , well , come on in , and I 'll go get it

The choices that led you to slabside are of your own design . You 're not understanding me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family . Somebody on this level has a connection to him . I need to find this person . The only reason that I am here is because I put myself here . Do you understand ? For the sake of argument , what will you do after you find this person ? I will use them to stop Diaz . How ? By hurting or killing him and then Mr. Diaz ? Recidivism is the likelihood that a violent criminal offender will commit another violent crime when set free . That is what I 'm trying to prevent , but I believe everyone here has a chance at redemption , even people like you . I do n't need your help , and I do n't need redemption . You do n't ? No . How many people have you hurt besides the prisoners and guards you sent to the infirmary ? I do n't know . How many people have you murdered ? Hmm ? Would you say you have violent tendencies ? I would say I 'm trying to protect my family . And they do seem @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ later . Where is Diaz ? No food or water , heat on blast . Call this an interrogation ? It can only get worse for you . You do n't have the stomach to do what you need to do . Diaz is only getting stronger . You have no idea what 's coming . Hey . Any luck ? No . Actually think she might be enjoying herself . We 're gon na need to turn up the heat . Any hotter , she 'll turn into soup . I meant turn up the stakes , do whatever it takes to make her give us the information . You do n't mean torture ? I do n't not mean it . Felicity , you do n't know what you 're saying . Torturing someone is a line you do not want to cross . When the Navy discharged me for what I did to a prisoner , I learned the lesson about the cost to my humanity because I still have nightmares of what I did , even though I saved lives , so when Tobias church tortured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ paying me back . That 's evil for evil . I 'm sorry about that . I am . Church broke you . You gave up Oliver 's identity , Rene . It worked . She tried to killDinah and Laurel and us . Diaz hired her . He 's not gon na stop coming after us until we are all dead . Oh , shoot . I was supposed to meet with Dinah5 minutes ago for a town hall . She is not going anywhere , so we 're gon na take a break , and we 're gon na figure this out later . Ok . Star city 's seen better days . God , this place . I swore I 'd never set foot here ever again . Yeah . Me , too . Sounds like I 'm not the only one with bad memories . The coordinates have changed since lian yu . Something must have triggered it . Felicity . She must know we 're here . Well , let 's see where she wants you to go . Sorry . Lost track of time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hey . Do n't you want to know what 's going on in your community ? I need to know what 's going on for my algebra quiz tomorrow . Oh . The rich part of star city gets 5 squad cars for every one that the glades get . Ma'am , I assure you that 's not the case . When my store got robbed , it took SCPD two hours to get there . You know who showed up only minutes later ? That new Green Arrow . Where were you ? I apologize for that response time . We are doing the best we can with limited resources . You and mayor pollard are in way over your heads . Ok , guys . Look . Captain Drake is here . She 's trying to help . Let 's all be reasonable . Well , facts are , Rene , things were better off with the vigilantes . Huh ? Yeah ? Come on . All set . Fire . Fire ! Fire ! Everybody stay calm , make your way to the exit . Let 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your asses ! Hey . I got to get Zoe . This way . Hey . She 's over here . She 's right here . Sweetheart , are you ok , huh ? I 'm ok . The Green Arrow saved me . It 's all right . Although the origin of the glades youth center fire has yet to be determined , the SCPD has a leading suspect . The new Green Arrow was spotted at the scene of the crime . We believe he may be involved . Now I 've instructed captain Drake and the SCPD to utilize every resource to find and apprehend him . Vigilantism will not be tolerated . What a load of crap . The guy 's a hero . He saved her life . How 's she doing ? Doc Schwartz says she 'll be fine . They 're just holding her as a precaution . She 's a fighter just like her not-so-old man . I got her a little something . Hey , man . Is n't she too old for that ? Do not hate on beebo . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Hey . Let 's let her rest . So if it was n't the new greenArrow that started that fire , then who was it ? Maybe it 's a homicidal maniac running around town with a shiny , new flamethrower , goes by dragon , hates our guts . It was n't Diaz . How do you know ? Because the perps used an accelerant that 's also been used in a rash of other fires around the glades , one on the same nightDiaz broke into the CDC . That gives him an alibi . This is A.R.G.U.S.We have to go . Keep us posted . How 's Zoe ? She 'll be ok . Good . The guy who did this wo n't be , not when I get my hands on him . Yeah . We 'll find him and that vigilante . I 've got patrols combing the city . We both know that new Green Arrow 's not who you should be looking for . Are you implying I do n't care about finding who did this ? No , but the mayor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ glades . She cares about locking up the new Green Arrow because it will make her look good . He saved Zoe 's life . Does n't definitively make him innocent . What was he doing there in the first place ? I 'm sure he has a good reason . Look . Let me help you by finding the guy who really did this . Rene , I already have one vigilante to deal with . I do not need two . I 'm not talking about wild dog . That 's my kid there , d . I became a vigilante for her because I wanted her to be able to walk the streets and not get attacked , not have her purse stolen , and not be offered drugs because her mother died in these streets already . I just want a better life for her . Look . I care about Zoe , too , and I promise I will find out who set that fire , but you saw what happened at that town hall , Rene . These people have completely lost their faith @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is to catch whoever did this and restore that faith . All I 'm asking is that you have faith in me . Ok ? Yeah . I got it . Good morning . Good morning ! I see you 've found a way to keep track of time . I 'm impressed . An active mind means you 're thinking about things . What is your name ? I 'm not answering any more of your questions . Still resistant . Hmm . I suppose we 'll have to try a different approach . Ugh ! Agh ! What wa ... what was that ? That will help make you more comfortable , allow us to have a real conversation . You do n't have to fight anymore . You 've fought enough in your life . You consider yourself a hero . The question is , when was the moment the playboy son of a billionaire became the man known as the Green Arrow ? You can survive this , make it home , make it better , right my wrongs , but you got to live through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see ? I 'm with my father at sea . Are you on the Queen 's gambit ? No . We 're on a life raft . Gambit 's already gone down . Was there anyone else there with you and your father ? Yes . His ... his bodyguard ha-hackett . We ... there were the 3 of us who survived . Ohh ! Dad ? Survive . Nooo ! What ? What did you see ? I see my father asking me to right his wrongs ... Right before he shot himself in the head . He sacrificed his life for mine . Is that why you became a vigilante ? Yes . Because he put his sins on you ? Would you please stop ? A father passes on more than just his name to his children . He provides them their legacy . What became of hackett ? There was only enough food and water for one person . My dad shot him . Your father shot him ? Then what ? Like he does n't matter in this story , just collateral damage ? People @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They have hopes , dreams , lives . Your father was n't a hero . Mr. Queen , he was a murderer . He saved me . He condemned you . He is gone , but here you are caught in the same vicious cycle , paying for his crimes . How 'd you get past my SCPD detail ? You know I went to mit , right ? It 's like Harvard for computer geeks with an acceptance rate of 6.7% , so if I can get in there , I can get in pretty much anywhere except for here , which is why I had to resort to saying that ... We were sorority sisters . Wow . So you are actually practicing law . Why does everybody find that so hard to believe ? Well , probably because you 're not the real Laurel or a real lawyer . Ooh . Try saying that 3 times fast . What a tongue twister . Ok . Listen . I am doing this for Quentin , so if you do n't mind , I 'd like to get back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I mean , prosecuting criminals must be a lot harder than being one . You 're still here . I have a case that you might be interested in . Your Laurel might have done the whole pro bono thing , but this Laurel does n't . Hypothetically , if there was a female assassin who went by , I do n't know , the name the silencer , who had ... for purposes of this illustration ... Only attacked the d.A . With a belt device that canceled sound , well , if someone has captured said assailant and was holding her hostage , do you think the d.A . In this perfectly random hypothetical might be interested in serving justice ? You kidnapped and imprisoned the silencer ? No . No , not me . Just asking for a friend . And you want my help . Yeah . I never thought this day would come either , but here we are . You are a hell of a lot more interesting than I thought . Where is she ? Hey . They did n't have strawberry , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cantaloupe , right ? For , like , the 100th time , I 'm fine . Should n't you be out looking for the bad guys who started the fire ? Hey , hey , hey . I 'm your pops . I 'm right where I need to be . Besides , your aunt Dinah does n't want me doing that . There 's a fire at the lofts . Dad , you got to go . You taught me only punks forget about their community . Why you always got to listen to everything I say ? Hey , hey . I 'm on your side , remember ? He got away . Who got away ? Jon Cortez . Is he the one who 's been setting these fires ? Freeze ! Put your weapon on the ground . Raise your hands above your head slowly . D.I got a call about a suspicious fire . I had a hunch you might be involved . He 's just trying to help . Then he can prove that by turning himself in ! Step aside , Rene . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , d. , but I just could n't let you arrest him . Turn around . What ? Turn around ! Are you kidding me ? I warned you the last time . I asked you to trust me . Instead , you just actively tampered with my investigation , so now I have no choice . Are you serious ? Rene Ramirez , you are under arrest . You have the right to remain silent . Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law , so I suggest you shut the hell up . Let 's go . Unh ! Ugh ! Good morning . Please state your name . Oliver Queen . You were just now meditating . Yeah . Where did you learn to do that ? Hong Kong . Who taught you ? Tatsu yamashiro . When we last spoke , you mentioned your father killed a man ... hackett ... So you could live . That 's right . I feel like my father had to ... make an impossible choice . An impossible choice ? How do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grandfather was a murderer ? Dr. Parker , please leave my son out of this , please . At times , love can blind a person to the harm they 're inflicting on their families , the cycle of violence they 're creating that they have learned from their own parents . I would never intentionally harm my son . Did you know that children of the incarcerated are 3 times more likely to enter the justice system than children of non-offenders ? William is nothing like me . That may be true , but what effect do you think you 're having on William ? I think he 's alive . Alive but with no father , his mother dead , and no home ? Does that sound like a good life ? No , it does n't . Everything that I 've doneI 've ... I 've done for my son . I do n't doubt that , but it is my duty to point out uncomfortable truths so that you can reform yourself so that you can become the man you want to be for your son @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ avenge your father 's wrongs . Is n't any part of you concerned that William will take your lead and become a murderer just like you ? Then listen to me . That promise to your father was made when you were vulnerable and desperate . It tainted your mission from the start , infecting you and now your son . It was n't fair of your father to ask what he did of you . You must let go of the past . Only then can you spare your family from paying for your sins . Go to hell . He 's not responding . Prepare the machine . Tell me exactly what she said . Besides telling me to go frak myself , nothing . Well , lucky for you , I 've been working on my cross examination . Your witness . Hello . Remember me ? What 's the matter ? Cat got your tongue ? You have no idea who I am , what I survived . You 're in way over your head . I do n't think I am . A little advice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... You think you 're being loyal . The only loyalty he knows is to himself . He 'll kill you without a second thought . I 'd do the same thing to anyone who got in my way . I do n't think you 're hearing me . Maybe I need to talk a little bit louder . Hey . Hey . Got a call ... From Rene . Oh . Of course he called you . Why ? To talk some sense into me ? I just came by to find out why you locked him up . Because he broke the law again , and I ca n't keep making exceptions just because he 's our friend , John . Sometimes , it 's hard being on the other side of this . Enforcing the rules . Yeah . That 's been a tough transition for me , too . Look . I know Rene believes he 's doing the right thing here , but our circumstances have changed . There is no way any of us can help anyone if we 're arrested by the FBI @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police force is a complete disaster after everything Diaz did to it . Dinah , you 're under pressure , a lot of pressure . I get that , but you sure it 's not something more ? Hey . You know what helps me ? Spending time with J.J.Family , Dinah . That helps us through . John , living in the shadows is when all the worst things happen . Oliver going to prison , Vince ... first undercover , and then ... That 's the real reason , because as much as I believed in team Arrow , I had to move on . I had to be a different kind of hero for this city . Yeah . You know , sometimes , I wonder if there 's any form of justice that 's 100% on the level , even at A.R.G.U.S.I think sometimes you need vigilantes and law enforcement working together to get results . Quentin Lance ... He did things by the book , but , Dinah , Lance was willing to work with anyone who could help him . This Green Arrow is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stranger . But a stranger with good intel . Rene asked me to look into Jon Cortez , a merc arsonist with his own crew for hire . What you do next with that information is up to you . So this was Smoak tech ? Must have been something in its heyday . This was Felicity 's office . You know , it makes sense that she would lead us here , but would n't it just be easier for her to reach out to me ? Why is she playing games ? I have no idea . I mean , ironically , she was the one who influenced me to go into the tech field , even after everything that happened . Well , you 're a lot more forgiving than me . Looks like a system Felicity showed me when I was a kid . Back then , it was just a set of designs . Can you fix it ? It 's an extremely outdated model , so yes . Just a simple recursive algorithm followed by a littleFelicity special . Freeze ! This is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm sorry about this , guys . I ... I was supposed to meet an investor , and , um , obviously , I got the wrong address . You 're such a bad liar . Shut up . Please do n't kill us ! I 'm not gon na hurt you . You should n't have come back here , Roy . I knew Dig was the right choice for that phone call , and Felicity did n't answer . John 's not bailing you out . Listen . I ca n't have you out there trying to catch those arsonists on your own . You do n't like that , you can stay locked up in here , but your intel ... It was good , so help me catch them by working with me . I ... I 'm sorr ... I ... I 'm sorry . Just , ears are a little clogged . It just sounded like you wanted to team up . Not permanently , no , but in this case , bending the rules might be the only way to serve the greater @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say . Exactly . Look . Right now , the SCPD on its own , we just ... we ca n't get justice for the glades , so I am willing to give working together a shot if you do it my way . " If " ? I 've been trying to make this happen for weeks . All right . A.R.G.U.S.Found somethingI do n't have jurisdiction to get to ... bank records . Jon Cortez has been receiving regular payments from patbane holdings . So let me guess . Patbane holdings is n't on the up and up . It 's a shell company , one that 's been buying these torched-up properties at highly reduced rates . So somebody 's been burning down the glades and then buying it back up ? So who 's at the top of the patbane food chain ? That 's what we need to find out . Ok . Time to bail you out . You scared the crap out of me . You find out where Diaz is ? No . She 's not being very chatty . Of course @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why you 're here . I tried , and if I keep trying , I 'm gon na kill her . Since when did you care about anybody 's life ? I do n't , but if she 's dead , she ca n't talk , and then we have nothing . Which is what we have now . We need that information . And you 're gon na get it with a rusty screwdriver ? If Diaz taught me anything , it 's Patience . He waited 30 years to get revenge on one person . We do n't have 30 years . This is n't you . This is the new me . This is the me who does n't wait around to get murdered . This is the me ... This is the me that fights back . I respect that . In fact , I can actually stand being around this new you . It 's just once you do this , it 's ... it 's really hard to get back to who you were before , and I do n't know if you ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ old life is over , so I do n't have anything left to lose . Hey . I used to be just like you . Well , that I find hard to believe . On my earth , I loved my father and my Ollie , but they were taken away from me because they were murdered . It 's when you lose the people who matter most . Once you get through the grief , you get angry , you want revenge , and I took it , but the darkness , it swallows you the more you feed it , and digging yourself back out to the light , it 's ... It 's really hard . In fact , I wish someone would have warned me before I got blood all over my hands the first time . Maybe that way , I would have been more like your Laurel . I do n't know what else to do . We need to play the long-term game here . I need you to use that big brain of yours and think . You took out those cops @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vigilante just like they would have killed me . I do n't understand . You were police captain . What happened ? That was a long time ago . Yeah . There were police everywhere , and you just dragged us through the sewer to get here . What the hell happened to star city ? Star city fell when the glades Rose . They built a wall . They closed their borders . No one outside the glades is allowed to enter . The SCPD are basically hired guns . They protect the glades from what 's outside their wall . I think maybe we should have stayed on lian yu . But then we would n't have gotten this . What is this thing ? It 's a new form of electrical therapy that targets areas of memory in the brain , the places where our greatest fears are held . I 've used it to help reform slabside 's more stubborn cases . I do n't need to be reformed . Your will is one of the strongest I 've encountered , but even mountains fall over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this , make it home , make it better , right my wrongs , but you got to live through this first . Are you on the raft ? Yes . What is your father asking you ? He 's asking me to right his wrongs . And setting you on a road to ruin that will one day poison your son . Dad ... I 'm scared . Come here . I 'm gon na take care of everything , all right ? You 're gon na be fine . Those last moments on the raft , your father asked you to redeem his own life , but if you had been in his place , what would you have told your son ? We 're gon na die here . You 're gon na make it through this . You 're gon na get off this raft , and you , William , you are ... Are gon na have an amazing life ... Because you 're destined for great things , not to die on this raft . Promise me that you will forget about me , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dad ! William , I love you . Live . You were talking just now . You told your son you loved him . Why ? Because he 's the most important thing in the world to me . Then it is up to you to end your father 's cycle for the good of your son . Only you can do it . Do you see that now ? There . Guys in cyber untangled the patbane holdings web . This is our guy ... Marcus fish , a real estate investor here in star city . He managed to buy up real estate on every glades block where a fire happened . Ca n't be a coincidence . Cortez has been getting paid in two installments ... Half up front , half the day after the job . There 's an odd number of payments . Patbane made a deposit earlier today but no second payment . That means the next attack is happening tonight . You know , I heard somebody was trying to buy the starling palladium , old movie house over on 8th . Owner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd ever sell . And that 's just a few blocks from here . I 've made a vow not to kill , but it seems I must . Aah ! Ohh ! We got company . Hey , dummy . Hands up . Watch out ! Thanks for the save . Where are the other two ? Guessing over there . Freeze ! Nice shot . Back to work . I 'll take care of her . Drop it now ! You ok , d. ? Yeah . You got the others ? Yeah , we stopped them . How do we stop this ? The sprinklers are jammed . There 's nothing to keep this from spreading . Help me get him . D. ! You guys better clear out before the cops arrive . Whoa ! Stand down , stand down ! I 'm a friendly . You 're not , uh , here to arrest me again , are you ? Uh , no , not today . I actually just came to drop this off for Zoe and to thank you and your new Green @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appreciate what you did tonight . Feels good to be fighting side by side again . Aunt Dinah , what are you doing here ? Hey . So sorry , kiddo . I did n't mean to wake you up . Just checking to make sure you 're ok . Brought you a little something . This is so cool . Is it a bird ? Yeah . It 's a canary . Here . Let me help you . Good evening . Now that you 've had time to think things over , have you come to any conclusions ? Yes . That 's good to hear . State your name . My name is inmate 4587 . Where 's Diaz ? If your friend is n't getting it out of me , you definitely are n't . Diaz took everything from me ... My husband , my family , my life . I do n't have anything to lose ! Felicity ! I 'm getting that information . Upstairs ! What the hell is wrong with you ? You told me to use my brain . Your brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stop with your little games and let the grownups handle this . She 's gone . How 'd you know she was gon na take the belt ? Lucky guess . The RFID chipI installed in it is gon na lead us straight to Diaz . Wow . What ? You 're different . You remind me of theFelicity from my earth . We know each other on earth two ? Everybody knows you . You run your own empire . This girl ? Yep . Except for she 's ruthless . Are you prepared to be ruthless ? Because once the silencer leads us to Diaz , we wo n't just be torturing him . We 're gon na have to kill him . Can you handle that ? This is a waste of time . How much longer are we gon na be trapped in here ? You used to be a lot more patient . Should n't be too much longer . Felicity told me that making a pattern on a rubik 's cube is like running an algorithm . My favorite was cube in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A cube in the cube . Still , no answers . Wait . What ? What just happened ? Is that some sort of map ? It 's the glades . You two remember Zoe . Hi , Roy , William . Wh ... what are you doing here ? I 'm with the vigilante resistance , one of the few left fighting to save star city . Is your dad here , too ? My dad would n't be caught dead in star city . This map shows secret routes in and out of the glades . Where did you get this ? Felicity . She 's the one who sent us to star city . No . That 's impossible . William , I 'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this , but Felicity Smoak is dead. == https : //subscene.com

He 's showing me the location of the key to turn off the machine . Sorry , " keys . " Two keys . Two-man rule . Two-man rule ? Yeah , two men , two keys , like a ... nuclear launch . But , uh , to retrieve the keys , there is a vault . And to open the vault , you need to enter Planck 's constant . Planck 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ famous number . All right , so we get the keys , and then we turn the machine off . That 's what he says . All right , well , that should n't be too hard . We can do this . Joyce , did you hear the part where he said the place was like an impenetrable fortress ? Yeah , but there has to be a way in . Yeah , there is . Our military . Who are coming . Well , we do n't know that anymore because you yelled at them like it was a parent-teacher conference , and then you hung up on them , so we do n't know what the hell 's going on , because now we 're ... Wait , wait , what are we do ... Oh ! Wait , that 's right ! We 're on our way to rescue our children from the big , badFourth of July celebration ! You know what , if you ca n't handle this , then just turn around and drop me off first . What are you gon na @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I will do anything if it gets me away from you ! Children ! Children ! Children ! This interminable bickering was amusing at first , but it 's getting very stale and we 've still got a long drive ahead of us . So , why do n't you two cut the horseshit and get to the part where you admit your sexual feelings for one another ? Whoa ! You are way off base , buddy ! Oh , spare me , spare me , spare me ! Yes , yes , he 's a brute . I know . Probably reminds you of a bad relationship , and , gosh , you 'd really like a nice man to settle down with , but , admit it , you 're real curious to know what he 's like in the sack . And you . Ha ! Well , you 're just a big manbaby who 'd rather act tough than show his true feelings , because the last time you opened your heart , you got hurt . Owie . And now , rather than admit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this mind-numbing and frankly boorish mating ritual . So , please , for my sake , either quit your bickering , or pull over , tear off those clothes , and get it over with already ! What was that ? I told them they should have sex . They have not had sex ? No . Oh ! Oh ! Okay , get her down . Okay . Lemme see . Oh , shit . What ... What ... Hey , what are you doing ? I 'm cleaning the wound .

We 're gon na need water , soap . Yeah , okay . All right . Does any of this help ? No . Go get me a washcloth and a bowl . A bowl ? Lucas . Go . Okay . What did that thing look like to you ? Like that thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot bigger . Like , Tom and Bruce , they merged to become one , right ? And ... And Driscoll kept saying how she needed to go back to the source ... Wait , you think Driscoll 's in there ? Maybe . And ... And ... And maybe Heather and Janet , too , and God knows who else . I do n't know how we 're gon na kill this thing , but if we do ... We kill all the flayed . And ... we end this . Maybe . All I know is ... we need El . Bowl ... Bowl ... Bowl ... Why would n't it be with the cereal ? I do n't know . What else do you use a bowl for ? I ... I do n't know . Oh , shit . Satan 's Baby . You ever shot one of these suckers ? No . Is it sweet ? That 's an understatement .

I like that you and Max are friends now . It 's just , I was jealous at first , and ... and angry . And that 's why I said all that stupid stuff . And it 's like I wanted you all to myself . And now I realize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like ... I 'm sorry . I just , like , I 've never felt like this , you know , with anyone before ... and ... You know , they do say it makes you crazy .

Oh , my God , you have to listen . I know I 've been MIA , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I mean , I actually was mad , but it 's also becauseI was trapped underground in a secret Russian base . Dustin , you 're going way too fast . I ca n't understand you . I know that sounds insane , but the Russians have infiltrated Hawkins ! The goddamn Russians ! And now ... they 're using ... to open the gate . Dustin , you 're ... you 're breaking up . And now they 're after us and we do n't have a way out of here , so I need you to come and get us . Can Nancy drive ? Dustin , you 're cutting out . Mike ? Dustin , you there ? Mike ? Mike , do you copy ? Dustin ... Shit ! Not now . Please , not now . Mike ! Dustin ! Mike ! What is it ? Do you have any batteries ? Double-A ? Why would I have batteries ? I always carry batteries . Then what 's the problem ? I need eight . Eight ? Shit . Guess we 'll have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Where ... are they ? That 's amazing . So , like , I was n't totally focused in there or anything , but ... I 'm pretty sure ... that mom was trying to bang her son . Wait , wait , the hot chick was Alex P. Keaton 's mom ? Yeah , I 'm pretty sure . But they 're the same age . No , but he went back in time . Then why is it called Back to the Future ? He has to go back to the future because he 's in the past . So , the future is actually the present , which is his time . Wh ... What ? No , no , it 's my turn . You 've had enough . Wow . Hey , Robin . You got ta check this out . Check this ... This ... The ceiling , it 's beautiful . Oh , wow . Oh . Stay here , go over the plans with Smirnoff . I can help look .

Pick up , pick up , pick up , you commie bastards ! Quiet . Oh , sorry . How do you even drink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's like Carpenter 's The Thing . The original is a classic , no question about it . But the remake ... Sweeter , bolder ... better . You 're insane . So , you prefer the original Thing ? What ? No , I 'm not talking about The Thing , I 'm talking about New Coke . It 's the same concept , dude . Uh , actually , it 's not the same concept . It is the same concept . No , it 's not . Yes , it is . Hey . Sorry . Sorry . Did you ... find him ? The movies ? Dustin 's so freaked out about the gate , he decides to go watch a movie ? Yeah , makes total sense . You 're positive he said " gate " and not " great " ? Yeah , like , " This movie I 'm watching is great . " Sounded like " gate . " Which would explain how the Mind Flayer 's still alive . Yeah , we just have to shut it again .

It was just a little bit , though . Yeah , it 's definitely still in her system . Oh ... All right , my turn . Okay . Hit me . Have you ... ever been in love ? Yep . Nancy Wheeler . First semester , senior year . Oh , my God . She 's such a priss . Hm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in love with Nancy ? No . Why not ? I think it 's because I found someone who 's a little bit better for me . It 's crazy . Ever since Dustin got home , he 's been saying , " You know , you got ta find your Suzie . You got ta find your Suzie . " Wait , who 's Suzie ? It 's some girl from camp , I guess his girlfriend . To be honest with you , I 'm not 100% sure she 's even real . But that 's not ... that 's not really the point . That does n't matter . The point is , this girl , you know , the one that I like , it 's somebody that I ... did n't even talk to in school . And I do n't even know why . Maybe ' cause Tommy H. would 've made fun of me or ... I would n't be ... prom king . It 's stupid . I mean , Dustin 's right , it 's all just a bunch of bullshit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I should 've been hanging out with this girl the whole time . First of all , she 's hilarious . She 's so funny . I feel like , this summer , I have laughed harder than I have laughed ... in a really long time . And she 's smart . Way smarter than me . You know , she can crack , like , top secret Russian codes and ... You know ? She 's honestly unlike anyoneI 've ever even met before . Robin ? Robin , did you just OD in there ? No . I ... am still alive . The floor 's disgusting . Yeah , well , I already got a bunch of blood and puke on my shirt , so ... What do you think ? About ? This girl . She sounds awesome . She is awesome . And what about the guy ? I think he 's on drugs , and he 's not thinking straight . Really ? ' Cause I think he 's thinking a lot more clearly than usual . He 's not . Look ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he did know her , like ... like really know her , I do n't think he 'd even want to be her friend . No , that 's not true . No way is that true . Listen to me , Steve . It 's shocked me to my core , but I like you . I really like you . But I 'm not like your other friends . And I 'm not like Nancy Wheeler . Robin , that 's exactly why I like you . Do you remember what I said about Click 's class ? About me being jealous and , like , obsessed ? Yeah . It is n't because I had a crush on you . It 's because ... she would n't stop staring at you . Mrs. Click ? Tammy Thompson . I wanted her to look at me . But ... she could n't pull her eyes away from you and your stupid hair . And I did n't understand , because you would get bagel crumbs all over the floor . And you asked dumb questions . And you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even like her and ... I would go home ... and just scream into my pillow . But Tammy Thompson 's a girl . Steve . Yeah ? Oh . Oh . Holy shit . Yeah . Holy shit . Steve ... did you OD over there ? No , I just , uh ... just thinking . Okay . I mean , yeah . Tammy Thompson , you know , she 's cute and all , but ... I mean , she 's a total dud . She is not . Yes , she is . She wants to be , like , a singer . She wants to move to , like , Nashville and shit . She has dreams . She ca n't even hold a tune . She 's practically tone-deaf . Have you heard her ? All the time. ( m ) You see me now tonight ( m ) Shut up. ( m ) You see me ... ( m ) She does not sound like that . She sounds exactly ... That 's a great impersonation of her . She does not . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Muppet . She sounds like a Muppet giving birth. ( m ) And if you could hold me tight ( m ) ( m ) We 'll be holding on forever ( m ) Exactly . I know ! Okay . What the hell ? And why all this ? If I just turn the keys , it 's like turning off a car . But then the car still works , does it not ? Yes . And do you want the car to still work or do you want it to explode ? I want the car to explode . Good . Then do this . Just make sure you are nowhere near it when it does . It is not pretty . Turns people into dust . And then ... It 's over . And I become an American citizen and join in the fun , yes ? Who said you had to be an American to join the fun ? It does n't get more American than this , my friend . Fatty foods , ugly decadence , rigged games ... Fifteen tickets , please . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not look rigged . That 's just it , my dear Alexei . They have been designed to present the illusion of fairness ! But it 's all a scam , a trick , to put your money in the rich man 's pocket .

@@5249241 Previously , on " The Magicians " ... Look , just go while you still have the chance . The Library controls the levels of ambient magic that flow through the pipes . This one has a leak . Well , what 's my Birthright , you scaly shit ? It 's the talking animals . They 've all been struck dumb . So what is this ? I saved your fucking life , bitch . Margo , are you okay ? You 're just a brown-nose sweater boy desperate to matter at all . The other me , Sam , did whatever she thought was right , regardless of what anybody else thought . This contract initiates our services in exchange for ... " Unlimited manual and magical labor " ? " Bound in service to the Library up to and after my death " ? Penny , where are you ? I 'm in the Underworld Library . If you stay down here , you 've got an amazing destiny ahead of you . Uh , excuse me ? Mr. Adiyodi ? Come in . Have a seat . Is ... Did I do something wrong ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You shelved her book yesterday under " Disappointing Prodigies " ? Oh , right . Uh , mastered the flute at seven but became a mediocre poet . Unremarkable . Did you read her brother 's book ? She saved his life ... Pulled him out of a self-destructive spiral , and he went on to become one of the world 's greatest philanthropists . I would n't call that " unremarkable . " Uh , okay . So is there section for , uh , " Sisters of Generous Men " ? You 've been in the Underworld branch , um , three weeks ? Well ... Yeah , when I died , all I cared about was getting back up there , and ... and all this ? I did n't think it mattered ... Where a book goes , who reads it . Those books I lent you , you get a chance to read them ? Of course . Well , I skimmed . How far did you get ? Alice , uh , opened a pipe , accidentally helped blow up the Modesto branch , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you file them ? Quentin and Alice ... " Star-Crossed Romances , " probably , or " Well-Meaning Failures . " What about the others ? Oh ... " Side Characters in Epic Quests . " I 'm a side character ? Look , no offense . It 's just ... Quentin 's the center of the whole thing . He 's the one that knows everybody . He 's the one the little British girl picked to save the world . Or he 's the one that looks like you . Not fair . Todd looks like me . He 's not the center of shit . But he could be . All I 'm saying is you think you 've seen stories like this before , so you can guess what 's going to happen ... Who 's important and who is n't . But that 's because you are trapped in your POV . You have a classic case ofWhite Male Protagonism , Derek , and a Librarian simply ca n't have that . But that 's why these books are so important . They 're such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see other points of view . And once you start seeing that , you 'll find that the story does n't end the way you think , and the most important characters are n't who you expect . Remember back before all the stuff in Modesto when Alice first escaped from the Library ? Oh , dear . I 'm telling you , I saw a reindeer-driven sleigh fly away . Alice and Nick are gone . This is not funny . I 'm not laughing ... now . I mean ... Lets discuss next steps . Mm , we should wait for Everett . He 'll know how to ... Oh , he 'll agree with me when I say that Alice Quinn was your project . Holding her here was a mistake . We are n't jailers . What would you have done ? Alice broke her deal with us . She tried to turn off all of magic . That has to have consequences . Our mission is to preserve the knowledge of magic . Alice Quinn is an existential threat to that knowledge . Are you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Claus ? I 'm so sorry . It 's not at all funny . Do you agree with Cyrus ? I see . I admit , I took a personal interest in Alice 's rehabilitation . Perhaps it biased me . You are correct . We are not jailers . Nor are we killers . So I 'll ask again ... What would you have us do ? " Protect the flame of knowledge no matter the cost . " I believe that 's how the old motto goes . Everett . Sorry I was delayed . The renovation of our Rome branch ran into some difficulties . Have you been briefed on Alice ? I agree with Zelda . We are an order of scholars , not assassins . So what is the scholarly solution ? Read their books . Learn their intentions . We agreed not to breach privacy unless there was no other option . What 's the other option ? Uh , okay . Well , Nick 's book has been taken and presumably destroyed , but Alice 's is still in the Revision Room having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and if she and Nick split up , we 'll lose them . There might be another way . Tracking devices . Eventually , they 'll go somewhere for help . There is n't enough ambient to keep either of them happy long , so disperse a Searcher widely and ... Disperse to whom , though ? I find it unlikely thatAlice or Nick will run into the hands of card-carrying Magicians . They 'll go underground . Yes . Where the hedge witches are . And the hedge witches do n't trust us . We 'll never get them to accept ... If we do what I 'm thinking , they 'll take them without ever knowing . Fine . Trackers . And once Alice 's book is back , if we can verify she 's no longer a threat , there 'd be no need for further corrective action . Agreed ? All in favor ? Hmm . You seem troubled . Thank you , but I 'm fine . I understand . I see something of Harriet in Alice , too . I wish you 'd given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of absence , even . No , I 'm ... Uh , I 'm sorry . Zelda . I thought I heard something . Excuse me , I have a meeting. == https : //subscene.com ==So you 're telling me the Head Librarian , a member of theGoverning Council of the Order , is having a nervous breakdown ? Trust me , just ' cause she 's seeing shit that no one else sees does n't mean it is n't really there . Uh , then we got to get a message to this Everett guy . He 's in charge , right ? Ca n't . What do you mean ? There 's a dragon that connects the Underworld to the Neitherlands . We just take a note , and we shove it up his ... Not how that works . Look , being down here ... You mean being dead ? It gives you a new perspective . There 's shit we know is going to happen that people up there would give anything to stop . But we can see the bigger picture . It 's not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do . It 's our job to appreciate their full life . We see but do not intervene ... for a lot of good reasons . I can see this is wigging you out . Let 's start with an easier one . Well , what 's my Birthright , you scaly shit ? Wait ... I read this one last week . High King of Fillory gets mad at , uh , the alpaca lady , uh , to bring back the talking animals ' voices . You read Margo 's story . This one is not about her . Well , what 's my Birthright , you scaly shit ? Oh , hi , there . Do you have a message , or ... ? Oh ! Okay , it was a dream . Just keep reading . Well , what 's my Birthright , you scaly shit ? It 's the talking animals . They 've all been struck dumb . Well , shit . All right , Fen , I thinkI will do a ritual . Earth specialty ... The Sleep of Solitude . I pop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That 'll be perfect . Rafe , last night I had the strangest dream . There were these bunnies with their throats ... You know what ? I think I projected the talking animals going mute . Okay , I think I 'm starting to get the point of these stories . All women are just one emotional crisis away from a psychotic break . Jesus , no . Whoa , you ca n't say stuff like that anymore . What , in the afterlife ? Anywhere . Do you remember what Kady was doing at this time ? Did n't she just kind of peace out after the Library Dewey coin heist ? Not exactly . See , while the others were busy bleeding a stone to stop the monster , Kady ... was busy doing something else . Iris could have at least left us a stone-bleeding how-to or something . Yeah , I hear what you 're saying , Q.Hey . Do n't mind me . Uh , I 'll go check those other books . The books in , uh , Marina 's library , ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be where they are . Hey . Have n't seen you in a while . There was some stuffI had to do . Stuff I should be worried about ? I 'm clean . Good . Who 's this ? Five weeks ago , her dad picked her up from school and disappeared ... Custody fight with her mom . Locator spell and a few bruised knuckles later , she 's home . " Five weeks ago " as in when you were " Detective Sam Cunningham " ? You 're solving her old case files ? All right , look ... you lived as Kim for months . The moment you got your memory back , you just ... You dropped it like it never happened . I-I ca n't . I ca n't go back to being a sidekick . You 're not a sidekick . Come on . I 'm only in this group at all because of Penny . That 's not true . You and me ... We 're friends , yeah . And then we were n't , and now we 're what ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... you have a lot of history that made you two very different people . I need my own path , Jules . I want my life to feel like it 's about me . No , I get that . And I am all for your personal growth . It 's just that we 're ... You know , we 're kind of under the gun here . You 're under my roof , hidden from the McAllistairs and the Library because I took this place from Marina when everyone else wanted to hand her nuclear launch codes . Look , I 'll help , of course ... when I can , in my way . But for now ... Sam left a few loose endsI need to tie up . You 're not my Postmate . I am the Baba Yaga . You live on my property under my protection , and your rent is due . Okay , well , this is n't exactly my place . Well , you 're here now , and the list is clearly posted on the premises . Wait , Marina @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not weird . You are weird . You reek of nondairy creamer and despair . Okay , look , I do n't have whatever it is that you 're looking for . One Webster 's Weeping Healer , one Totem of the Plump Pelican , and one Bag of Holding . Pay what is owed in two days ' time or wish I boiled you alive . The wench will explain . What ? Holy shit , you have to pay her . " Her " ? You mean you . Okay , what the fuck is happening ? I 'm Bailey . Sorry about the Baba Yaga . She can be a little ... The Baba 's the spirit of a vengeful Slavic witchI channel when I need to collect rent or deal with a chattyUber driver . So if you do n't want to be her next meal , you should give her what she wants . Ooh , stressful . Where am I supposed to find ... Wait a minute . Is the ... The Totem of the Plump Pelican . Wait , this thing ? Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ must have found it . I just thought it was some ugly paperweight . Shh , do n't insult it . It reacts . So two more to go . Oh , shit . She 's coming back . Pay me what is owed , or I will boil your marrow into soup , peasant . See you Thursday . I 'm looking for a guy called " Lovelady . " Heard he has office hours here . What is this ? Some kind of flashlight spell ? Isik . Jesus . Whoa ! Satisfied ? What the hell was that ? I never want to see the floor of a bar that bright . Pete ? Wait , you 're Lovelady ? Oh , shit . Kady . It 's been a while . Last time I saw you , you were with Marina . Mm . We parted ways . It was mutual . Mm , I 'm sure . So " Lovelady , " huh ? It 's a title . When one guy 's done with it , he passes it on to the next guy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Senator . " That 's not how Senators work . Whatever . The guy who was " Lovelady before me is an Earl with a private island . People respect the shit out of me . It 's a great sign when you have to tell people that . Did you come here looking for my help or ... ? Sorry . Here 's a list . I heard you can find things . Interesting stuff . Specific . Landlord issue . Have you considered moving ? The place has special features . It just turns out it 's courtesy of a-a witch ... Uh , Baba-something . You mean the Baba Yaga ? You know her ? Just by reputation . Hey , if I help you , in lieu of my usual fee , I want you to introduce me . Not sure she 's your type . She 's got great taste . This could open up a whole new avenue for me . Yeah , fine , whatever . You 'll help ? One more thing . Um , do you still see Julia ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we going ? Black Market . So Kady 's moved on . I mean , not with Pete , just ... I know what you mean , and I 'm happy for her . You do n't look happy . So is there some sort of connectionI 'm supposed to be seeing between Kady , Zelda , Fen ... You 'll see . Alice 's book had been revised , but Alice had changed the ending . Well ? Apparently , Alice feels magic has caused her nothing but trouble . She goes on to live out an entirely civilian life in Portland . She just got a job at a craft brewery , and a Shih Tzu . You look a little surprised . Does that not sound like her ? The choice is unexpected , but ... would n't be the first time she walked away from magic . Great , then . Nick is still at large , so we 'll keep our trackers in circulation , but I think we can close the book on Alice Quinn . It 's funny ... I 'd always thought @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Sorry . She would be a new hire . We 're not hiring right now . In fact , we 've had to let some people go . Designer hops are getting expensive . Well ? Alice is inside , as her book said . Hmm . Good riddance , book tart . Let 's go get some doughnuts . This is the Black Market ? It 's so ... Normal ? Yeah . Exactly . You 'd be surprised what you can find in here . Even Deweys . Wait , I thought you had to have a Library card for that ? Yeah , well , the Library should know better than to give unlimited black cards to rich druggie dickbags that trade them in for lap dances . Oh , so you give lap dances , huh ? Selectively . Okay , so that is Whitley . If she does not have a Bag of Holding , she 'll have a line on one . What , you 're not gon na introduce me ? Well , I may have had sex with her and never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ looking for a Bag of Holding ... whatever that is . It 's a " Doctor Who " kind of thing . A bag that 's bigger on the inside . Actually , it 's a D &D; thing . Yeah , I do n't do nerd shit . Expensive taste for someone who does n't know what they 're asking for . I can pay . Charisma Cufflinks ... for a Bag of Holding ? Come back when you 're serious . Kraken tentacles ... Helps build muscle . I 'm paleo . Cavemen did n't eat kraken , so I do n't eat kraken . What 'll you give me for these ? Aleister Crowley 's ashes . Mm-hmm . Not bad . Worth a Bag of Holding ? Thanks . What the hell , Pete ? I searched the whole goddamn market for you . Kady , great news . I found Gordy . Gordy 's my , um ... He 's great . Hi , Kaitlin . Kady . You were supposed to be looking for the Webster'sWeeping Whatever , not getting wasted . Por qu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowGordy is a doctor . Well ... For animals . You know , for dogs and cats . Do n't sell yourself short , all right ? That 's a real doctor . Ok ... shh , shh , shh . Not helpful . Yes , helpful , because Gordy knows where to get that thing that you 're looking for . The thing . The creepy doll that cries healing tears . Webster 's Weeping Healer . Got a buddy , Duke ... Exotic-bird guy . So his cockatoo caught bumblefoot ... Okay , shh . Duke has the doll ? Well , yeah . Okay , where can I find him ? Hello ? Anybody there ? I 'm guessing no one 's home . Well , that explains it . No sign of blunt-force trauma or defensive wounds . Does n't look like foul play . Okay , Mariska Hargitay . Just find the doll , will you ? No , bad touch ! Get off ! God , I hate this place . But ... found the doll . Ugh . Healing tears or no , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Really , Pete ? What ? He 's not using it . You 're disgusting . Oh , my God ! Oh , my God . Jesus , Fen ! Why the hell are you lurking in a dark pantry ? Waiting for you . Your souffl fell . You 're gon na bake a new one . How did you ... Dreamt it . You 're worried Margo is gon na blow talks with Lady Pike . Wait , again with the alpaca lady ? Sorry . Uh , some of these pages are out of order . Just keep reading . But really , you 're worried that you and she have a true connection and you 're going to screw it up , so you 're stress-baking . Okay , ouch . And that 's a weirdly specific and accurate dream . I also dreamt of dancing ears of corn , and then the farmers reported a surplus . I dreamt about what Tick really does with all those peaches he steals from the kitchen , which is surprisingly not gross . And they 've all come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Uh , maybe you 're a psychic or someone cast some kind of spell on you . Or ... or it 's Fillory , and maybe you just ate some messed-up fruit . You think someone did this to me ? If you 're worried , next time it happens just poke around the dream a little . Poke with what ? A knife ? No . No knives . Lucid dreaming . They teach it first semester at Brakebills . The second you realize you 're dreaming , you can take control of your dream . You do n't even need magic to do it . Just close your eyes ... Breathe , and try to push your finger through your other hand . Everything freezes . Anything not supposed to be there , that 's when you 'll be able to tell . Alice was n't where her book said she 'd be . I suspect she sabotaged it . And now I 've lied to my colleagues . If I do n't find her before they find out ... Sounds like a personal problem . Henry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mean is that you trust that I wo n't report this because it 'd be worse for Alice . We both want to spare her that . If you could just tell me where she is ... I comply with every request ... All your red tape and your triplicate bullshit . This is your mess . Do not drag me into it . Harriet ? I do n't think an ancient Slavic witch is gon na want a mojito . Right , um ... something vodka-based ? Are you actually nervous ? Baba Yaga 's a really big deal in my line of work , and ... First impressions ... What was I saying ? Pete , your arm . Ah ... that molest-y hand gave me the clap . Oh , shit . Looks like a bad spell interaction . Something 's clashing with one of his personal enchantments . Which personal enchantment ? I do n't know . They 're personal . Hedge spells , you know , they 're off the street at best . They got a lot of rough edges . There 's really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well , they do n't . Whatever killed Duke is killing him . So help him , or I break your jaw . Look , the only human diagnostic spell I know costs magic , and I 'm a littleDewey-light at the mo ... Please do n't break my jaw . Fine . Pete has one he took off your friend Duke . Wait . Wait , you said something 's clashing with Pete . Mm-hmm . Like what ? Like a cursed object . I once treated a horse for strangles . Turns out jockey 's riding crop interacted badly with a hoof-protection spell , so ... Does Pete carry a riding crop ? Okay , maybe just look at this . Cobalt . Do n't touch that shit . Not really planning to now that you licked it . What ? It 's more accurate than lenses . You can taste cobalt . It 's used in most tracking spells . " Tracking spells " ? Mm-hmm . I put them on pets . This one tastes like a real expensive Searcher . You hold it long enough @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cast it . Wait , a-a signal to wh ... who ? Aliens . I was thinking more like who makes Deweys . The Library . Oh , yeah . That makes more sense . Who 's the Library looking for ? Oh , I can think of a few people . Wait , how many hedges have these personal enchantments ? Pretty much everybody . Shit . Take off all of Pete 's , now . What are you gon na do ? I 'm gon na warn everybody . Wait a second . So the Library 's responsible for hedge witches dying ? Yeah , but they do n't know that yet . Spoiler alert . Zelda had some other things on her mind at the time . Her dead daughter . Wait , is she , like , down here ? I thought you did n't like spoilers . Look , I 'm sorry you see dead people , but that is an incredibly stupid idea . She 's not dead . Ghosts do n't bleed . I do n't know how , but she could be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impossible . It 's the Mirror Realm . We do n't know what 's impossible . It 's not as complicated as a mirror bridge . We just need to open a door to the place between mirrors . Listen , Zelds , if you told me you wanted to finger-paint your blood so you could take a walk in the crazy dimensionI would say , " Free country . " But this is my blood . I ca n't do this ... without your help . Yes , I know that . And I 'm leaving . She 's my daughter . Harriet ... who 's older than you ? Our relationship is complicated . Clearly . You smashed the mirror . You ... trapped her there . I was doing my job . I ca n't ... Live with myself if I do n't find a way to help her . Please . Christ . I 'm gon na regret this , are n't I ? Did you juice the beets ? Oh , I juiced the beets . I told you I would juice the beets . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make this about us . Wait , did I miss something ? I thought Margo and Josh were an unlikely yet heartwarming thing . No , this is after the Lady Pike incident . Margo called Josh a sweater boy . Forget it . Pay attention to Fen . How 's this shit work ? Pour it gently onto the lizard , Your Majesty . Jesus lizard-fucking Christ ! Does this feel like a weird sort of dream to any of you ? All right , maybe I can control this . Ember 's balls . This is a dream . Okay , okay . Stop talking to yourself and , uh , look around . Hey ! Who are you ? Wait , no ! Stop , please ! Freeze ! Freeze ! Hey , hey , stop ! Freeze ! Green Lady ! Hold up ! Hey , Green Lady , come back ! Umber 's ass , this is getting annoying . Hey , wait ! Wait , I just want to talk ! Why am I having these stupid dreams ? Oh , no . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Your Majesty . Wait , stop ! It 'll catch fire ! The fuck ? I saw the lizard blow up when Rafe ... Antidote . What is she talking about ? Perhaps she 's mad with grief over the loss of King Eliot , Your Majesty . I assure you , all the animals have responded quite positively to the antidote . Well , this one definitely wo n't . Foosh . Fried Lizard . And where are you getting this information ? I ... I dreamt it . Fen has been having kind of prophetic dreams . She knew my souffl was gon na fall before that ever happened . It 's a stupid fucking premonition . You want to risk the life of your lizard , or is that a relationship you 're willing to set fire to as well ? Oh , I 'll fucking fry this lizard . Okay , can we ... can we focus for one minute ? Sure . Yes . Fine . Let 's . Cool . Great . Okay . Say I do n't doseNewt Scamander with beet juice . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ass talking ? I do n't know , but I have an idea of where to look for answers . I lucid-dreamed . I saw a woman in a green hood . She has to be the one giving me premonitions . Awesome . You got it working . A-plus . B minus . Unless ... you tell us where this green bitch went . Well , in my dream , I chased her to this stream by the Fuschia Forest of Corian 's Land . Corian 's Land ... also known as Sloth 's Bane . I do n't know what everything in my dreams means ... mean . Anyway , I know that the answers to our questions ... Answers lie ... lay there ? I-I 'm not usually the one who gives the big speech , so I 'm ... I 'm going . So that ... that 's happening . Gordy says " you 're welcome . " And he left you a bill . That guy puts a really high value on his time . Wait , did I miss the Baba Yaga ? Well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ snoozing , I was dying . We got bigger fish to fry . I 'll explain everything as soon as your hedge witch friends get here . I know every instinct is telling you not to trust me ... or anyone . But someone put a tracker on this . It 's a complex , expensive , very high-level spell . It marked him . It looks like the Deweys you touched are doing the same to you . If you have any enchantments running ... Anything you got in a safe house , anything homebrewed ... It could kill you ... just like it did to Duke and almost did to Pete . She saved my life . I trust her , and I vouch for her . Who did this ? The Library . They make the Deweys , and they do n't give a shit about what happens to the hedges . They 're trying to find someone , and we 're just collateral damage . So ask yourselves ... If this is what they do when they 're not even thinking about us , what happens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just gon na let people like them tell us we 're not important ? That we 're just some side characters in their fucked-up fascist plot ? My mom was a hedge ... and she was killed by another hedge . You 'd think that would turn me against you . But it did n't . It just made me realize that it does n't have to be this way . If we could stop screwing each other over long enough to work together , then it 's not the Library 's story . It 's our story . Hey . Hey . I have a buddy in Modesto . He says there 's a leakyLibrary pipe there . I say we use it to make those assholes pay . Look , I know what you 're going through ... Do you ? They kill your boyfriend ? Actually , yeah . Look , we 'll figure out what to do next . I already know what to do . You do that , you 're giving them a reason to wipe us out . Please just get a little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're not alone , okay ? We 'll figure this out together in a way that feels right for you . Okay . Yeah , we can do that . It 's a copy of our library , but wrong . I was gon na say a total mindfuck . Tomato , tomah-to . Oh , you go on . I 'll just be here cutting myself to keep our bloody exit open . Hey , just made a joke . Hello ? Where have you been ? Your funhouse-mirror daughter shanked me . We have to go . Those things were n't her . The real Harriet could still be in here . I ca n't just leave her . I hate to break it to you , love ... She might still be in there , but so are those monsters . An attack ? On what branch ? Modesto , California . We lost four Librarians . Hedge witches did it . But ... but why ? There was some fallout from your tracker coins . It 's not your fault . Just unforeseen interaction . Several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to avoid having to hurt anyone . I should have been here . You ca n't blame yourself . If anything , today we learned the true danger we 're in and that your trackers might provide a solution . What do you mean ? Complications aside ... the idea is sound . Put whatever we have into circulation among them . We keep Modesto from happening again . Are you suggesting we kill hedge witches ? I am suggesting that we keep an eye on them . To " protect the flame of knowledge from ever being extinguished , no matter the cost . " I do n't know what to say . This is an awesome responsibility . You and I both know that , but who is better suited to bear that responsibility than The Order ? There is no one I trust more deeply to be fair and right than you . Alice . I ca n't stay long .

@@5249441 -- www.Addic7ed.com -- You alright ? Robert , darling . Let 's say hello later . We need to go to the airport , pick up Granny Kettle . Daddy ! Daddy ! Fucking hell ! Patrick ! I wan na go horse-riding , I wan na go horse-riding ! Sorry . Sorry , sorry , sorry , Thomas . Oh , okay . Oh , I was only just dropping off . I 've been awake half the night . And now it 's time to get up . I thought we were on holiday ? So did I. But we 've been up since five , have n't we , Thomas ? Right . We 're off to the airport to fetch my mother . Mm . Do n't rush back . Well , there 's lots to do . Open all the windows , air the place . And you ought to finish the unpacking . That 'd be helpful . Thomas . Robert , airport ! Robert , airport ! Yeah ! Seamus . Patrick ! I thought I heard your car last night . Welcome back . Eleanor can not wait to see you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Hey , Patrick . We were just discussing how wonderful your mother is , to let the Foundation make use of your beautiful home . Amazing woman . She 's helped so many people to connect . With what ? With other realities . Yes . Well , meanwhile , back in this one , I opened my wardrobe this morning to find so many copies of Way Of The Soul , they were getting in the way of the shoes . " Way of the shoes . " Genius . It 's actually a better title : reminding us to keep our feet on the ground . Do you think these signs of institutional life could be removed when we 're here on holiday ? In August , this is our family home . Of course . I apologize . These leaflets on reiki workshops and healing circles are entirely lost on us . And this board , while an attractive cork , is yours , not ours . I 'll take it to my cottage . You mean my mother 's cottage ? Where she lets me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going back to Ireland . No , I 'm here for the whole summer . You wo n't even know I 'm here . Monsieur Melrose ? Bonjour , Claudine . Comment Va ma mre ? Si vous voulez la voir , Elle vous attend . I want you to know that ... I 'm very unhappy ... at not ... being able to communic ... Yes . That must be horrible . Yes . Horrible . Yes . But I am brave . Er ... the others are at the airport picking up Mary 's mother . They 're all very keen to see you . Only when you feel up to it , of course . And Thomas has grown , as you 'd ... expect . Are they Er ... Thomas ... What 's this ? ... is like me . I 'm sorry , I 'm just trying to ... Good flight , Kettle ? Hello , Patrick . No , hideous . There was an awful woman next to me who was terrifically proud of her breasts and kept sticking them in her child 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ darling . I know it 's all the rage but when I was having children the clever woman was the one who went to the party looking as if she 'd never been pregnant , not the one with her breasts sticking out . Daddy , I 'm coming ! At least not for breastfeeding . Robert , will you showGranny to her room ? Patrick ? Goodness , you 're drinking . Temporary measure . It 's been a while . She 's really outdone herself this time . From the solicitor 's , care of my mother , if " care " is the right word . I 've been disinherited . What ? She 's signing the house over to this joke charity . Nothing to us , nothing to our children . Patrick , that 's awful ... Oh , and she wants me to check for loopholes , make sure the whole thing runs smoothly . It 's not enough to be disinherited , she wants me to chip in with the paperwork ! Did she say why ? Took her half the morning , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She wants to help people . Anyone , really , just as long as they 're not fucking related to her ! Not so loud . She seeks " closure " and " my validation " . That bastard Seamus might as well be whispering in her fucking ear ! Darling , you 're ranting . I have to rant ! She was always a lousy mother . But I hoped she might take a holiday from that towards the end of her life , feel that she 'd achieved enough by way of betrayal and neglect and that now it was time for her to take a break and play with her grandchildren . You know what frightens me the most is how much I loathe her ! When I read the letter , I tried to loosen my collar so I could breathe and I realized it was n't my collar , it was actually a noose tightening around my neck . A noose of loathing ! She 's not going to change now . She 's a frightened woman ... I know ! I know . What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poison dripping down from generation to generation . And I 'd rather die than inflict the same thing on our children . That wo n't happen . Not if we do n't let it . But please do n't drink . For us . She 's giving it all away ? To the charity , yes . Strange kind of charity . Robert . Go and say hello . I 'm only telling you in case ... Patrick ! ... Patrick seems a little off . So he should be ! It 's so lovely here . You found it . Yes . Oh , it 's good to be here . Who 's this now ? I told you , it 's Patrick 's friend Julia . Lucy 's her daughter . He certainly seems pleased to see her . Hello , Mary ! He 's just being nice . She 's been having a hard time . But ca n't you fight it ? You 're a barrister , for Christ 's sake ! She may be an unmaternal idiot but it 's her money . If she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Age hotel , there 's nothing I can do to stop her . Well , ca n't you pretend to be a shaman and keep the place ? Sadly , I 'm one of the few people on earth that has absolutely no healing powers . Why are n't you two playing with each other ? Play . Play ! Besides , I find it difficult enough looking after my family , let alone saving the world . I think looking after your children can be another way of giving up . Well , they become the whole ones , the well ones , the ones who do n't drink too much , get divorced , become mentally ill . You spend so much time guarding them against decay and depression that you end up decayed and depressed . Sorry . I 'm a bit down . Since the divorce , I get these terrible moments of vertigo , like I do n't exist . I get that . At your age ? I think that 's very pretentious . It 's true . But it does n't stop you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When it 's happening . You 're doing a wonderful job . Hello , there . Oh , Christ , it 's the landlord . You do n't like Julia very much . Robert ! I do like her . But whereas clever people are just thinking out loud , Julia 's thinking about what she sounds like . I should n't have said that . Do n't repeat it . Are you a healer yourself ? Yes , Seamus , who have you healed ? Well , I actually worked in a nursing home for many years , washing patients covered in their own feces , spoon-feeding old people who could n't feed themselves , that sort of thing . And , do you know what ? I 'm grateful for it , Julia . It 's kept me grounded . What a shame you did n't stick to that . You might have actually done some tangible good . Patrick likes to keep me grounded too . But I think we do tangible good here , with the courses we run . We bring inner-city kids here and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They ... They say to me ... " Seamus , this is incredible ! It 's like tripping without the drugs . " Do we need a charity for tripping ? With all the ills in the world , it seems a rather wild hole to plug . Ca n't you just give them acid ? You can tell he 's a barrister . I 'm all for people having hobbies . Ca n't they do it in the comfort of their own homes ? Sadly , Patrick , some homes are not that comfortable . No . I know the feeling . Well , Julia ... Fascinating . Mon pleasure . Seamus ? Patrick ? This gift of Eleanor 's about the house . Yeah , she mentioned that . I 'm looking into it . Do n't go picking out the wallpaper just yet . I hesitate to mention this . Please keep on hesitating . But this idea of yours to sign the house over to the Foundation ... I 've looked over the paperwork and I have to point outit leaves you very exposed . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but your store of capital ... No , please ... No. ... wo n't pay for much more ... I ... ... care . We could go broke very quickly . Patrick is only trying to help . You can do what you want . Yes . If you could just loan the house for the time being ... I really do object ! ... and decide ... It 's okay . Well , we 'll leave you . You must be tired . Sorry if I upset you . Please do n't ... leave me . I want to go away . What do you mean ? Leave here . Yes . What can drive a man mad is being forced to have the emotion he 's being forbidden to have at the same time . The treachery makes me feel furious and now I 'm being forced to feel pity . Well , I 'm a simple sort of man and I remain fucking angry ! Robert , everyone 's by the pool . Go and join them . I do n't think it 's kind to turnRobert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only child and a complete stranger , my mother chose the stranger . And you 're right to feel betrayedbut Robert has his own ... No , we 've all been lied to . Whatever happened in the past , at least we had somewhere we all felt at home . And now all those little concessions to family feeling are being tossed away to be replaced by the trademark family malice and spite . Well , that 's not inevitable ! Is n't it ? Not necessarily ! Please . Spend time with the children . That 's why we 're here . Right , who wants to play in the pool ? Robert ? I 'm reading . Oh , come on , let 's play ! That 's why we 're here . Julia ? No ? Lucy ? No ? No , thanks . Did n't ask you . Come on . Dad ! Stop being silly ! Oh , come on , Robert . Stop ! Do n't be a bore . Stop ! I 'm serious , stop ! I knew this would happen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh , I 'm sure he 's fine . Of course he 's fine . You 're fine , are n't you , Robert ? Yes , I 'm fine . There , you see , he 's fine . It 's just a game , a bit of fun . That looks like fun . No , not fun . Necessity , I 'm afraid . Want one ? I 've got my own . Of course you do . But if you 're offering . How long ? Four years . I thought you were only meant to take it for 30 days . Oh , I definitely have a problem . Namely that they 're not strong enough . I get all the side effects : memory loss , dehydration , nightmarish withdrawals . Everything except the sleep . Strange to think we used to do this for fun . Remember taking acid in Greece ? I remember where you stashed it . Yes , sorry about that . I did n't mind . But let 's not get nostalgic . Another pleasure denied . Whenever I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was actually like . It was awful . The trouble is , allI remember is the sex . A great abundance of sex and a sense of potential instead of an absence of sex and a sense of waste . Christ , I 'm gon na need40 milligrams tonight . Perhaps ... Perhaps we should n't be having this conversation . Perhaps not . Oh , my darling . So sorry to wake you . What time is it ? It 's very early . Are we going now ? Shall I pack my bag ? Oh , my darling . I have to go without you . You ca n't . Darling , please understand . I want to come . You have to stay here with your father just for a short while . I want to come . And then when I 've spoken to the lawyers ... No , please ... Patrick . Listen to me . This is very important . But I 've got to do this properly , yes ? In exactly the right way . And then I can come back and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Do you understand ? Daddy . Hello . Hello . What are you doing ? Oh , Thomas has pushed me out of bed again . So I thought I 'd go and sleep in his room . But that 's Julia 's room . Yes . Erm ... I was just checking to see if she was ... Oh , poor Thomas . Well , I better ... You must ... Night . Robert ? Lunch ! There . I must say , having you both here at the same time is like a dream . Like ... a ... dream . My dear . So nice to see you out . How are you ? Very ... Well , I 'll leave you two to chat . Uh ... Thomas , do n't play with the wine . That 's for grown-ups . It certainly is . Oh , is that the answer ? We 'll find out , wo n't we ? I 'm sure we will . I was going to buy Thomas some child reins for his birthday but apparently they 're out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harness . Really ? Nanny used to swear by them . And I used to swear at them . You did n't , actually , because swearing was not allowed . Unlike some households . Which of our mothers is worst , do you think ? I realize the disinheritance thing gives Eleanor the edge but yours is really putting in the work . At least eat something first . Anyone who thinks a week is a long time in politics should have her to stay . A week 's a fucking eternity . I do n't know how you cope without a nanny , Mary . I do n't know how I 'd cope with one . I 've always wanted to look after the children myself . Yes , motherhood takes some people that way . It did n't in my case but then I was quite young when I had Lucy . I think you can be too nice to children . If you want them to grow up to be corporate lawyers or chief executives , no use filling their head with ideas of trust and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compete in the real world . Hear , hear ! Hello , there . Oh , Christ . I was gon na call by and see Eleanor . But here she is now . Hello . Seamus , please sit here . Join us for lunch . Oh , no , no , no , no . I would n't want to intrude on a family affair . Well , maybe just for a moment or two . Patrick says you 're a writer . Did I ? I 've sometimes thought myself about writing a book . I 've got so many ideas but it 's putting them down on paper . It can do your head in . I 've done a beginning , several beginnings . But maybe it 's all just beginnings . Do you know what I mean ? I do . She 's doing this on purpose now just to annoy us . We wo n't give her the satisfaction . It all sounds absolutely fascinating . Join us . I 'll sign you up for a session . D' you know ? Perhaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a workshop . Yes , you should . It 's the only way you 'll get to see the house in the cherry season . Oh , the cherries ! Now , they are something . Me and Eleanor always have this little ritual we do around the cherries , do n't we , Eleanor ? Yes . The fruits of life , you know . It sounds very profound . Do they taste any better than if they were simply the fruits of the cherry tree ? Ch ... Ch ... Cherries . I 'll bring you some . What a handsome rent ! No ... A simple bowl of cherries for all of this . No ... Talk about luck of the Irish . No ... Enough ! ... rent ! Rob ... No . I 'll go . It 's my fault . I 'm not giving you much of a holiday , am I ? Must try harder . Is Granny really giving it all away ? That 's what she wants to do . We love it here . I know , but it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And if she was giving it to the blind or the homeless or medical research or victims of torture , we 'd be ... not delighted but we 'd understand . But ... she 's giving it to Seamus ? To the Foundation . So , yes , to Seamus . Do you loathe her ? Of course not . And you must n't either . Well , this is a touching scene . Mary wants you back beforeSeamus seduces Kettle . He 's trying to get Mary disinherited as well ? We 'll have to kill him after all . If we kill Seamus , do we keep the house ? Sadly not . More efficient to kill Kettle before she changes her will . You 're right ! I let emotion cloud my judgment . I 'm going to read my book . I suppose I should be more careful . About what ? I 've tried so hard not to pass on the malice and resentment , give them a different sort of childhood . But they 're just fresh mistakes . And Robert notices everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What were you doing outside my room ? I thought I 'd come and see you . Would you have been pleased ? Maybe next time . There 's going to be a next time ? Well , you 're bored and lonely . I 'm bored and lonely . That 's a terrifying amount of boredom and loneliness in one room . Maybe they 'll cancel each other out , like electrical charges . Well , we should conduct an experiment . In controlled conditions . See if we eliminate boredom or achieve an overload of loneliness . We should go back . Or people will think we 're having an affair . I 'm almost too scared to ask . I 'm cheering myself up . This is by Boudin . Sell this , and we might just be able to afford a second bedroom in Queen 's Park . A normal child-sized bedroom rather than a converted broom cupboard . You ca n't steal from her . Not from her , from him . If he 's getting the house then I can certainly keep the fucking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? You ca n't keep this up . At some point , you have to let it all go . Bit late for that . I do n't mean the house . Do you want to come up to bed with me ? Let 's not introduce exciting words like " want " . We both know that Thomas will claim my place . I 'll sleep down here . Pass the screwdriver , will you ? Screwdriver ? Mind if I come in ? When 's your flight ? I have to leave by nine . Our timing ... Has never been good . I should go before Thomas wakes up . Patrick ... Summer fling . Yes ? Summer fling . Well , thank you for having us . We 'll speak on the phone . When you get a chance . It wo n't be the same . No , it wo n't . Bye . Bye . Oh , dear . I wanted to say goodbye to Seamus . Send him my love , wo n't you ? It 'll be strange to be here without @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Very small . Yes . Right , come on , let 's go . Buckle up , Lucy . Just us , thank God . And now we can have fun . It 's the right thing to do . I 'm sure it is . Also , it 's a fake . I spoke to a man at Sotheby 's . You can tell by the waves , apparently . So Seamus is n't the first man to bamboozle her . Some art dealer in Paris achieved that facile trick 40 years ago . Well , let 's not tell Seamus . Certainly not . Just picture his face when he finds out . Oh , there go the flotation tanks ! I need to let all this go . When you 've talked about the things that have happened here , wo n't it help to move on ? Perhaps . If I did n't have my mother 's protection ... at least I had the protection of this place . Now that 's being taken away too , I fear I might go mad . At @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get rid of the fucking place . Let 's go back to London . Or somewhere else . After this holiday , we need a holiday . Where would we go ? Bonjour , monsieur . Bonjour . C'est fini . I 'm sure there 's a good reason . It was such a big fight . Ah , hello there . We 're back . It 's Patrick , is n't it ? Kevin . Annette . We 're making tea . I do n't understand . Oh , did Seamus not talk to you ? He said there might be a spare room . Seamus ! I do n't mean to disturb your hard work . Not at all . Please , here . Be my guest . Is that what I am now , your guest ? Or are you rather our guest until we leave , because we 're not prepared to have you billet your sidekicks with us . I merely thought , given that you 've so much space , you could accommodate my guests . The terms of my mother 's gift @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legalistic way of putting it . There 's nothing in writing about the Foundation providing you or your family with a free holiday . Look , Robert , go back to the house ! I have genuine sympathy for the trouble you 're having ... We 're not talking about the trouble I 'm having . We 're talking about the trouble that you 're having . They 're inseparable . Everything seems inseparable to a moron ! Oh , let 's all calm down , shall we ? My wife 's your great defender , Seamus . My theory is that you 're a bad man pretending to be an idiot , whereas she thinks you 're merely an idiot . If we could stay on the subject ... Perhaps the community should hold a meetingand Kevin and Annette ... We 're not part of your fucking community ! If you do n't want to be part of it , then maybe you should go . Why do n't you go away , you stupid man ? This is my granny 's house and we have more right to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gon na have to go and process some of these negative feelings . You do that . Process away . Be my guest . Do a little ritual . Oh , one more thing . My mother gave me this . It 's a little shaky . She 's not well . It says , " Why Seamus no come ? " Now she 's given you the house , you 've dropped her . I do n't need lectures from you about the importance of my relationship to Eleanor . Just go and visit her . I know she 's not great company . But that 's just one of the treasure trove of things you have in common . We 're taking the children to the U.S.To see your sister Nancy in Connecticut . They 've never been . Just ... Just ten days . Claudine will look after you while we 're gone . Then ... we 'll find you somewhere in London . Somewhere comfortable . And bring you home . Time to go . Okay . Say bye to Granny . You beautiful boy . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me . I 'd love to help but it 's against the law . No . No longer . Alright . Ready . Come on . Let 's go . Robert , wait for me ! ... enter into a bilateral agreement with Kim Jong-il because of the fact that he did n't tell the truth ... Why do n't you go sit with your father , hm ? Watch T.V.You 'd like that . We 'll go to Aunt Nancy 's in the morning. ... so there is more than one voice speaking to Kim Jong-il . That 's it for the news . Now the latest on the weather . Over to you , John ... I 'm cutting down , look . Come and say good night . Good night , then . Oh , God , she 's invited Henry . Who 's Henry ? Oh , Nancy 's cousin . He inherited all the money and , well , that makes Nancy furious . Whatever you do , do n't mention politics . He 's a nice guy but pretty much a fascist . Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rich ! Especially now you 're not going to become one . Especially now . Oh , there 's a games room , a cinema , and a pool , of course . This is very kind of you , Nancy . Well , after what my sister 's done to you , it 's the least I could do . Oh , Patrick tells me you 're working now . Oh , I 've always worked . I 'm in publishing . They wo n't run indoors , will they ... Of course not. ... shouting , that sort of thing ? Nonsense ! They must do whatever they want . Well , they should stay out of the woods . It 's a Lyme disease hotspot and the tics are dreadful this year . Poison ivy , too . It looks pretty , but really , it 's like a Cambodian swamp . Best to assume you 're always in danger . A rule to live by . Robert , Thomas , shall we go for a swim ? I 'll go and get the swimming costumes . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here ? Oh , so many things , so many lovely things , all stolen . A world-class fortune gone ! These . These were ours. $1.5 million . That 's what my little stepbrother got for Mommy 's garden tubs . I think you 're doing just fine here , Nancy . This place ? Ho , believe me ! This is nothing to what we should have had . Shall we talk about my mother ? There 's no improvement or hope of any improvement . She 's aware of this and has asked me to kill her . Oh , Patrick , that 's not fair . That 's really not fair . I have no doubt that helping her to die would be the most loving thing I could do . Oh , well , maybe ... Maybe you should rent an ambulance and drive her to Holland . Arriving in Holland is n't in itself fatal . Oh , please let 's not talk about this anymore . It 's very upsetting . I ... I have n't told Mary yet , so ... Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a good idea . Those swimming costumes ? Nancy , we 're very grateful . No , treat it like home . But no wet feet on the carpets . Oh , of course . And no playing with figurines , they 're Meissen . I do n't suppose you 'd like a drink before dinner ? Oh , I do n't drink . Did n't you know ? I watched it destroy Daddy 's life .

Are you hiding behind your machine ? Oh , well . Are you ? I feel a little ... in freefall here . Just wanted to hear a friendly voice . Oh , well . Love you . Oh , there you are ! We were about to call the police . Well , there 's a slo-bering thought . Sorry , I had a sudden yen to go to the countryside . Sobering , sobering ! Did I say slo-bering ? I meant ... I meant sobering . I was just talking about how tired the children are from playing outside . Well , of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Our grandfather had a150-acre garden on Long Island . I 'm not talking about woods and fields ... Please , shall we change the subject ? Henry was telling us all about the Middle East . Or we could change it back . Yes , I was recalling Pearl Harbor .

Mummy ! And their state sponsors . Mummy , it 's broken ! Are you aware of the phrase : " Children should be seen but not heard " ? Of course . I think it 's nonsense . Well , for my part , I 've always found it to be entirely too liberal . You 'd rather not see him either ? Jesus Christ . Nancy , you sound like my father .

Less than 24 hours . A new personal best . Hardly worth unpacking . You 're safely installed with your lover , I see . I 'll move him to the other side . No , do n't . God forbid you should actually spare one drop , one actual drop of love from the children ... Lower ... Lower your voice ! No , you 're right , I have no love or affection for you when you 're like this . And the rest of the time ? The rest of the time ? I think you should know ... I 've started imagining life without you . Any compassion or patienceI might have had , it ... it 's all dried @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... demeaning thing with Julia .

Have someone to share a Thanksgiving meal with . I just love to cook . Well whatever pulls your hair back honey , you 're paying . So , what are you a doctor ? Because there 's some fancy ass medical books you got there . No , I ... I just work at Buffalo Regional . Well ... Why do n't we play doctors and nurses when I get back from the little girl 's room ? Okay . Yeah . It 's down the hall on the end . Are you ready for me , baby ? Do n't be shy now . This is so disappointing . When were you going tell me , you have ... I take you off the streets and offer you the chance to create something , rather than destroy it ! - And this is how you pay me in return ? - Please @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no ! A committed relationship is between a man and a woman . How did you think this was ever going to work out ? What are you talking about ? Come on ... It 's okay . I 'm doing you a favor . Do everyone a favor . We 're returning to the crime in a case that has puzzled Buffalo law enforcement for the past 3 years . Authorities this afternoon announced the closing down of a once high profile investigation . Which begun with the disappearance of 17 year old prostitute Lisa Donnelly . Donnelly was the first of seven sex workers to go missing from downtown Buffalo over a three year period . With all the alleged abductions taking place during the winter months of November through March . A nurse at Buffalo Regional hospital , Darrell Kennedy was initially named by authorities as a person of interest , but was eventually cleared of all involvement . While officials claim budget restraints are forcing the allocation of resources to other cases , sources close to the investigation blame the failure of detectives to locate a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They 're thinking shut this guy down with a press conference . Take a look out there . Seven out of seven were taken in the snow . Seven out of Seven . - Are you listening to me , or what ? - I 'm not deaf , Mike . You think these guys would be shutting it down if it was their daughter ? I do n't fucking think so . - What , you 're not going to fight this ? - Hey ! I was the dumbass who fought to be on this case , remember ? What a great move that turned out to be . Come on , it 's Thanksgiving for Christ 's sake ! Be thankful . Let it go for one night . Hang with family , eat too much , pass out on the couch , easy stuff . What are you , my nanny ? My life coach ? There 's alot you do n't know about me , detective . Do n't even think about it . Abby would never forgive you if you did n't come in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ done . The sooner we get it done , the sooner we can move on from this . Will you listen to yourself ? You 're obsessed . You 've got to let it go . Come in for a drink . Come on . One drink going to kill you ? There really is no point in even having this discussion because dinner is about to be on the table . So if you could just come and help me , that would be great . Mom , please . Tad 's whole family invited me over . You 're going to have to tell Tad 's whole family that you 're spending Thanksgiving with your own family . Hey , surprise , surprise ! Hey ! This is a surprise . Mike did n't tell me you were able to make it . Who cares ? Finally somebody cool . I 'm not staying , I just wanted to come in and say happy Thanksgiving . Come on , relax . There 's plenty to go around , right Shelley ? Yes , you could have my plate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You know what ? Enough , young lady , OK ? You 're staying in , that 's it . Final . Even your dad managed to make the effort . This is unbelievable . Do you see what i have to deal with ? This is so fucked . Now you 're just showing off . Could you go tell your brother to come ? - Could you ? - Yeah . Make mine a large . - Hey , sorry . - No , do n't worry about it . You should see me at that age . God , Dad . I 'm not hungry . She 's been cooking all day Abby , do n't be stupid . It 's like being under house arrest to live here . Yeah , must be rough . You have n't even been here to see what a Nazi she 's become . Abby . It 's Thanksgiving . Want to help me out here ? Come to dinner . Look , why do n't we go to White Face this weekend make the most of the early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? It 's fun . Remember last year ? Missed all that school because the ... the big dump ? Dad , no . Look , I 'll be out in a minute , okay ? Get your head together , please . Do n't be rude . Come on . You 'd think with a scholarship to Cornell would n't be a no-brainer , but no . Now she 's talking about going to Buffalo State to be closer to Tad . I do n't know . First love . I guess you got to let them get it out of their system , right ? Wow , look at you guys . When was this ? Have I seen this ? Yeah , it was a while ago ... Look who we got here . Say hi to Kelsey . He ca n't say " strawberry " . Wait a minute , you 're not Jed ! You 're too tall to be Jed . I 'm gon na put bricks on your head to make you short again . Last chance , Kelsie . Want to stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poor girl go home already ? She 's probably sick and tired of you . Do n't worry about it , Kelsie . Here , I 'll take that . - Tell Abby I said goodbye . - Yeah . Jed , did you say goodbye ? - Bye ! - Have you said goodbye to Kelsie ? - Did you look her in the eye buddy ? - A Happy Thanksgiving ! Good job . - Jed , you washed your hands ? - Yes . This looks great . You sure you can handle a family dinner without your backup ? Come on , It 's Thanksgiving . She did n't have anybody in Buffalo . She 's supposed to be our friend , you know ? If she were a real friend you would n't force her to work the same ridiculous hours as you . That way she might actually have someone to spend Thanksgiving with . I mean , it 's not sad enough she 's a 30 year old woman who ca n't have kids ... You want to deprive her social life too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kelsie is a big girl , she can look after herself . Let me do that . Do n't tell your mom , just take a sip . - Let me get that , please ? - Okay . This looks great . Look at this amazing job your mom did . Allright , does n't this look great ? Here , boy . Jesus , Dad . Is this cold enough in here for you ? It helps to keep me awake . What 's up kid ? Mom , would like you to come inside so you can see Jed 's costume for his stupid thing . Tell her I 'll be in , In a minute . He 's playing a donkey and i was like , Jed really need a costume for that ? Come on now ... - Can I ask you something ? - Sure . Why do you spend so much time here ? What is it with these girls ? Well , they got names . This is Lisa Donnelly . She grew up in Riverside . She started working the streets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ missing for two years . She was gone three months before anybody reported her gone . And when they did , it was n't her mother or father or or brother , or sister . It was her landlord looking for back rent . So much for the city of good neighbors , huh ? All these girls ... It 's all the same . I never found a single body . Now they 're just missing girl , that nobody missed . That would be a horrible way to live , right ? Come here . Leave me alone , I 'll be in , In 10 minutes . Happy Thanksgiving . Okay , so here 's what I do n't understand . If Divine was working at a Girls Girls , Girls last night , What was she doing curb crawling ? Come on man , she 's not stupid . She has n't worked the streets since they all started to go missing . She was on her break , getting money at the ATM for the drugs . For the drugs , what kind of drugs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Replacement Therapy . She 's a tranny ? She 's a pre-op transsexual , allright ? She was going to take the next couple of days off to rest up , you know ? Fuck ! There were three days away from surgery . We are going to do our very best to find her and we 're going to call you as soon as we hear anything . Okay ? We should be working on this thing nonstop since I moved up here . When people said you were reaching even calling it a case I had your back , right ? But if we 'd to go in from the D.A . tomorrow , what do we really have ? Your intuition ? No bodies , no homicide , Mike . God , I want this as bad as you do but there 's dogged and then there 's just plain pig-headed - Come on , she 's a missing hooker . - Who 's been missing less than 12 hours . She 's probably in a bar somewhere about to give some John the surprise of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you heard the boyfriend , right ? She was supposed to be at home , In bed , resting . What the fuck ? Are you with me on this or what ? Of course I 'm with you . I 'm just saying what about the other seven hookers who were all girls ? Biological girls . Why would he change his M.O now ? You saw her pictures , she had me fooled . Look , assume for a minute that I 'm right . Which you really should . This fuck comes out of his cave for the first time in ten months . And he gets a chick with a dick . You really think he 's going back into hibernation just yet ? This is it . Girls , Girls , Girls . I guess Divine had them all fooled too . Hey Steve , It 's Mike . Need you to do me a favor . Hey , this came through just now . So there 's Divine at the ATM . Pick up perp might drive a late 90 's dark sedan ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ find out what she saw last night . Jesus . D , you do n't look so good . No shit . It started , checking inventories every week . Whole joint is locked up like a mother_fucking Fort Knox . Amazing what we can do when we have to . Carl man you are not listening . The hospital called security on the supply room . I ca n't get shit now without there being a link straight back to me . Hey Darryl , do you want anything special for Christmas ? You know what I want . What the fuck is that ? You told me you 're going to get rid of that shit . I guess I forgot . I 'll just skip to the money shot , you know It 's ... I was amazed at the quality . I mean ... This is just a regular video phone but ... Oh yeah , you can ... make out all the details . It 's not every day you get to tap a hooker for free , right ? Why the fuck are you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partnership . Come on Carl , man ... We 're not really partners , right ? I 've never asked what you going to do with all the shit I gave you . That 's your own personal shit and I respect that . Man look , you got me over a barrel here , allright ? And you know that I ai n't ever , never going to talk about our little business here . - But you got to understand , man ... - I understand , man . I understand that you raped a patient . You got her pregnant and you asked me to take care of it , which I did . They give you the big needle for that up here . So , what I 'm asking you ... compared to what you asked of me ? Just think about it . You stop own when I stop asking . There are a couple more things that I forgot to mention . I 'm going to need you ... To pick those up too .

Paroled three years ago after being repeatedly beaten inside . And this is you closing the case down how exactly ?

And I love spending time with you when we can but ... I 'm about to finish college . You have n't even finished high school . And the way your parents act ... I can never forget that . If you ca n't see past that then I guess you 're just as fucked up as they are , are n't you ? - Abby . - Fuck you ! This is the last time , Carl . Fuck this . Hey there . - A slow night ? - Fuck you asshole . Are you new in town ? I have n't seen around . You got a lighter I can use ? Yeah , sure .

She 's the only one who drives this . I 'm telling you , our guy knows how we work . He did n't steal some sick fucking pervert 's license plates by chance . - The fucker set us up . - Who is this fucking guy ? He has access to DMV records ? What else does he have ? Yeah ? Shelley let me call you . Calm down . She what ? Allright let 's try to be rational . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acting like a fucking cop and act like a father for one second ? Shelley listen , you guys had a fight . She 's probably at a girlfriend 's house . I 'm sorry do you have kids ? What do you know ? I 'll go get some tea . Look , It 's probably just a matter of a couple of phone calls . Allright ? Help me out here . Who did you call ? Come on , did you call the kid ? Did you call Tad ? Yeah , of course I called Tad . He 's at work , he has n't seen her . No one has seen her . Look , It 's Mike 's daughter for God 's sake ! I do n't know . Yeah well she 's not just any other girl , allright ? Look , just do what you have to do . she goes out on weekends . Of course she does . - She did n't go to bars on her own . - Of course she does . She goes with friends , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? - I called Sarah , I called Rachel , I called rachel 's mom . What about that kid Evan she used to hang out ? She has n't seen her for years . Her number is not even in the book . I just phoned it through to Steve Just in case , they 'll need to know what she was wearing before they can put out an APB . Drink some of this . This here ring is a symbol of our commitment to each other . ' Til death do us part . Come on , It 's okay . I got one just like it . See ? We all do . Come on , It 's picture time . Welcome home . We 're checking her email , her phone logs , her facebook page . NCIC and the hospitals are all online . I 've requested CCTV footage from all of the bus and train depots . And our friends across the lake ? No , there 's no record of her crossing the border . Allright . Notify Rochester and Detroit . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wan na give us a sec ? - Yeah . If you need anything ... You got to take a couple of days off , to be with the family . That 's why I spend 18 years on the force to let somebody else find my own kid ? This gets messy and I 'm not going to have any choice . Do you understand ? Sure . Excuse me , sir . You got a visitor . Where is she ? Where did you get this one Tad ? Abby was at the diner last night . You lied to my wife about seeing her ? We had a fight . I did n't know what else to do . Allright she snuck out , I just did n't want her to get in trouble . - Tell me what happened . - I did n't do anything . Allright look , we got into an argument then she run out . - She left her jacket and phone , that 's it . - Where did she go ? On to the street . I should have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her ? - No ! - Was she alone ? Or she was with someone ? - No . Who was she with ? Who was she with ? - She was talking to somebody outside . - Who was she talking to ? She was talking to somebody outside in a car . You let my daughter get into a car in the middle of the night ? - It happened too fast , I could n't see . - What did the car look like Tad ? - Come on ! - It was a dark sedan ! I 'm telling you the truth , I swear to God . I did n't ask her to sneak out . And when Mrs . Fletcher kept calling , I panicked . Okay , I did n't know what to do . That 's why I 'm here now . He was there . This guy . He was at the diner last night . So ... Sleeping Beauty awakes . Jesus . You 're the replacement ? What , you 're like 12 ? I 'm 17 . Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to love you long time . What is this ? Where are we ? How long have you been down here ? 34 and a half cycles . I 'm sorry . There 's plenty of time to be sorry . Is it really Thanksgiving ? Who is that ? Who the fuck was that ? Oh that ? It 's just Lauren . - This is bordering on harassment . - We have n't even started yet . I 'm sorry , where 's the harassment ? She 's part of an ongoing investigation . She was under your care for 3 months . - This is standard procedure . - This is bullshit . How many times do I have to explain this ? One more time , come on . I 'm a postnatal nurse . Lauren was in physio , she was never under my care . I drop in and say hello to her every few days . Hookers do n't tend to get a lot of visitors , that 's what nurses do . The night she went missing , I was in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you questioned them all , already . This whole thing is ... . is really sad . But you know what I know . - So , if that 's all ... - Sit the fuck down ! Where were you last night ? I was here , I pulled a double . How come a witness put you in a diner downtown ? Where another girl was abducted . That 's not possible . I do n't know anything about some other girl . No , no . Not some other girl . This girl . Look at it . Do you recognize her ? Look , I told you I do n't know what the fuck you talking about . - Bullshit . - Mike ! I know you were there , You fat fuck . Look ! Check it out with his boss . Check it out with his boss . I 'm at the end of a very long shift detective so ... Both of you were at that diner last night . I know about Lauren Daniels and the seven other girls , allright ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seven other girls ? I think you know about my Goddamn daughter , do you ? I think you know where my girl is ! I swear to God ! I swear to God , I do n't know anything about your daughter ! That 's it , we 're done . Maybe Tad made a mistake ! Scrubs , he said scrubs . How many 300 pound black nurses you think we have in this fucking town ? You saw the roster which means there 's still nothing to connect Abby to the case . That 's a good thing , he only targets hookers . - Read the description . - Mike . Kelsey , read it . What does it say ? " 17 year old , single white female " " Last seen on the corner of Fillmore and Ferry . " " Short black skirt , low-cut top . Heavy makeup . " What does that sound like to you ? It did n't take long . Hey , chief . God . Hi , Daddy . Please take me down . It really hurts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now daddy ? - Eight weeks , three days . - She 's doing good , huh ? Better than you . I 'm trying daddy , you know I 'm committed . It 's only a matter of time . That 's how you keep saying . Maybe you 're broke . It 's the well for you next time . How 's our new addition ? You settling in allright ? What does it matter ? I 'm not going to be here for long . My dad 's a cop . Up there , maybe . Not down here . Are you sure ? Because he knows all about you , you sick fuck . I do n't think so . I think I 'm going to be just fine . I think we 're all going to be just fine . A couple of weeks off might be a good thing . Daddy , what 's wrong ? Go inside . - But , Daddy ... - I wo n't tell you again . Go inside . There are some rules that we have in this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are relatively simple . But for now , It really is just a matter of good old fashioned give and take . You eat what I give you . You do n't touch anything . Unless I tell you to . And everybody does their part . Ai n't that right , Brittany ? I got a good feeling about this one daddy . What do you think ? Hey . I 'm talking to you . What do you think ? Do you think we 're going to get lucky this time ? - Wait ... what are you doing ? - Lauren , honey ... Will you do the honors ? - Babies are made out of love . - That 's right . Babies are made out of love . Mommy , if Abby does n't come back , does that mean I get her presents ? Helps to get things flowing in the right direction . Hey . You dind't think I forgot , did you ? Happy anniversary , Mommy . Thank you , Daddy . You looking for something bigger ? Actually I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're not very popular with the D.A right now . Yeah . I thought I 'd get some work done from home . Shelley will probably like that . I 'll call you later . Jesus fucking Christ . You looking to get shot ? I 'm backing you up in case some nosy neighbor calls in a B and E and find yourself explaining this to some uniform cop . You seen this ? Take a look . That fat piece of shit lives right across the street from where Abby was taken . Lauren , What did he inject me with ? Do n't worry . It 's good for you . Gets you nice and ready . He gives it to all the girls . How many others have there been ? Well there was the first . Daddy talks about her all the time . Then me , Lisa , Brittany ... Sarah , Amanda ... Abby . What happened to them ? They just were n't good mommies . That 's why she 's so scared ? Daddy saved her from some crackhouse gave her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In return ? This is number two for me . And Brittany has been given a lot of chances , but sound like daddy has lost patience with her . How long have you been here ? Just had our 3 year anniversary . How did you guys meet ? It was like fate , Abby . This John hit me in his car and smashed up my legs pretty good . I went up In this hospital , where I met this nurse , Darryl . I think he had a crush on me because he was always dropping In to say hello . This one day , just before Christmas one of the doctors comes in , looking all serious ... And tells me ... I 'm pregnant . I went to sleep that night ... and when I woke up ... I was here . See , daddy saved me . From what ? From breaking a family silly . Daddy says there are whores who are disgusting and break up families So he takes us off the streets so we can build a family rather than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? We are not meant to talk about it . I 'm sure he 'll show you if you 're good . It wo n't be too long now . I 'm sure you 'll have one too . Turn off the light . Get out of here , leave me alone . " Pass the salt " ? I ca n't remember what it was . I might never see Abby again and the last thing I said was " turn off the fucking light " ? Are you kidding me ? You need to go home , get some sleep . You 've been up for two days straight . I ca n't sleep , Kelsey . What would you do ? What we 've seen . That 's Abby now . You 're wrong Mike . She 's not like the girls we 've been looking for . She 's not . She 's not like the girl that went missing from my home town when I was young . Because ... Went out one day and never came back , like she vanished into thin air @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't have anyone to put up posters . Or knock on doors or stay out all night trolling the streets . Once that girl went missing it was like she never existed in the first place and that is not Abby . She 's got you . And Shelley and me . She 's got family . So wherever she is , she 's not alone . I promise you that . Get some sleep . I 'll call you in the morning . Thank you for calling Stenlakes of Buffalo . Please leave a message . It 's detective Mike Fletcher , Buffalo P.D . Need to ask you some questions about a Darryl Kennedy . He said he wants a ... Wii from Santa . You know what this is ? It 's already under the tree . Good . It 's true what they say about the first 48 hours , right ? But Shelley , Kelsey 's out there . Everybody 's doing everything they can . But they 're not her father . I 'm going to bring her home , I promise . Come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on , let 's go . Mike Fletcher . Why do n't you grab a coffee ? I 'll let her know you 're here . Hey . Have some strong coffee ? Yeah , sure . You know a fella who works here , named Darryl Kennedy ? You mean in the kitchen ? No , no . I do n't know . A big guy ? Assistant nurse . You 're talking about Big D . Yeah , I mean , I know Big D . A guys his size is going to spend a little time with his nose in the troph , you know what I mean ? You know him well ? No . I know that he likes my southern fried chicken . That 's about it . Hell , he likes pretty much anything I put in front of him . I 'm not bleeding , Am I ? My boss is going to kill me , I 'm sorry . I banged the shit out of myself , this morning . Coming out from under the hood of my car . Thank @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mechanic , you know what I mean ? I apologize for my behavior yesterday . I just lost control . I was way out of line . I just need to ask you a few questions about Darryl . I ca n't help you with Darryl , I 'm afraid . After what happened , I sent him home . And he did n't show up for work this morning . No phone calls , nothing . That 's not like him . I 'll make sure to tell him you dropped by . No , please , just ... What would he want with any of these ? Did you write this ? Me ? No . Well I can guarantee you it was n't written by Darryl Or anybody else on my stuff for that matter . How can you do that ? Accurate notation is paramount to patient care . Spelling is all wrong and It 's medically inaccurate . What 's all this stuff for ? Nutritional supplements , for malnourishment . Heparin , is an anticoagulant . It 's for thrombosis , for patients with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's injectable . - I do n't understand . All this shit 's been missing from the hospital for the best part of three years , right ? The exact same time frame as our case . Most of this stuff , prolongs life . Maybe that 's why we never found a body Do you think Darryl 's holding these girls ? Darryl did n't write this shit . This is somebody else 's handwritting . I think there 's somebody else . Maybe he 's with somebody else . What do you think ? You want to know what I think ? I think you need to go home . I think you need to stay your family . I think you need to get your fucking head straight , that 's what I think . - Oh , Come on ! - Come on what ? You had this for 12 hours Mike . You had this last night and you sat on it ? You did n't think to tell me about it ? How the fuck does that helping me find Abby ? That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are . Look , Mike . I have heard you ... and I 'm on it . Get some sleep . Trust me you 'll find Abby . Hello ? Listen , It 's only a matter of time . We just got to be smart , right ? See , my dad is looking for us . - He 's looking for all of us right now . - No one is looking for us silly . He is . I swear to God , This is his case . I 've seen your pictures on his wall . I know . He never stopped looking for you . Okay ? I swear to God . - And my family will not give up ... - Shut up ! This is your family now . No , no . Please , this is ... This is not a family . You ca n't say that . Too late . Wait . We are in this together ... right ? Right ? Wrong . Wait ! She was telling secrets daddy . Talking about leaving us . Said her dad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But we do n't want him to , because we belong here with you . Is that right ? It 's true daddy . Thank you ladies . Now you 're going to see how things happen around here . Again . - God ! - You 'll learn , honey . You will learn that this ... This is a sign of trust ... Of loyalty , of commitment . Because without commitment , we 're nowhere . You are sick ! I guess we 're going to have to explain it again . So I hear from one of my girls , same night Abby went missing Some guy tries to drag her into his car . A dark sedan . She cracks a bottle over his head , you know ? Hits him pretty good . And gets the fuck out of there . I do n't even know her . She works out of this apartment here . Girls get beat up every night of the weekend here so it could easily be nothing . I just thought even though is nothing , maybe it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Emma . 250 . Three doors , down on the left . Make yourself at home . Is this your first time ? Yeah . Yeah , you 'll be fine . Must hurt . Yeah , you should have seen the other guy . Yeah ? - You got in a fight ? Someone hit you ? - Oh , yeah . It was really scary . I wish you would have been there because you would have ... You would have hurt him for me , right ? I would have fucking killed him . Who 's this guy ? What did he look like , the guy who hit you ? I do n't know . He came at me from behind . So I could n't ... see his face . He just kept telling me to shut up . What did he sound like ? - I mean , what his voice sound ... - I do n't know . Like he was n't from around here . He had an accent maybe ? - What kind of accent did he have ? - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a redneck , Okay ? And he smelled like a fucking hotdog stand . Onions and shit . Anything else you want to know ? I do n't get it . You want to fuck him or me ? Just slow down for a minute . I just want to get to know you . - I just want to take it easy . - You want to take it easy ? You know what , time is money mister . Do n't do that ! - I 'm sorry . - Fuck . Nice one , asshole . I just got he down . Get the fuck out of here before Jerome throws your ass down the stairs . You 've got to commit to him . That 's why we 're here . The other girls are n't .

You can sometimes see out the window and everything . Do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wo n't even last ' till the end of the week . Ai n't that right , princess ?

Go on . I trust you . I just spoke with TSA at Buffalo Niagara . Delta 's got a Darryl Kennedy booked to fly out on the 9:30 But the airpost just cancelled all flights because of the storm . Call all the units to the terminal in case the asshole shows up . And put a uniform outside his aparment . - You find him , I am your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? While I 'm eating fried chicken and drinking wine ... I 'll probably tell daddy that you are n't really sorry after all . That you told me you hated him and ... Never wanted to be part of this family . Hey , you ca n't touch his things . - You 're so fucked . - Please do n't do that . He 'll kill you . Nice knowing you . What the hell is going on ? - Brittany ! You of all people . - Daddy , no ... No daddy , you do n't understand ! It 's not what you think . - Sure as shit looks like it . - Please do n't do that . - I 'll be better , I promise , Daddy . - You left me no choice girl . Please do n't make me go in there daddy . - Please ! - Go on ! - It 's so cold . - Get in the goddamned well . You heard that shit , move your hands .

Chin up , big guy . I 'm here for you . You ! This is all your fault ! You ... You 're the one who got me into this mess ! If you 'd listened , you could have had everything . But no .

What ? Tell him the truth ? Are you nuts ? You do n't let a guy like Papi down , or you 'll get one of these .

He said if I did n't get serious , I 'd never amount to anything . But nothing I ever did was good enough for him . All I ever wanted was a thumbs up from Papi . And I was so close . I once had a beautiful house on a hill . Papi woulda loved it . That house was a dream come true . Are you gon na tell me your life story , or are we gon na get back to running a restaurant ? You 're right . Priorities . Get comfortable . I 've got a lot to get off my chest . Oy ! I had to ask . Oy ! I had to ask . My nightmare began on a day like any other . So , technically , I guess that would be a " daymare . " But I digress . It was lunchtime , and I was making my usual deliveries around town . I always saved the best stop for last , to see my dear old friends at the Flickering Embers Home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never hope to meet . A perfect example of how to grow old with grace and dignity . Does this look like a rash to you ? Has anybody seen my teeth ? Oy ! My aching knee . I sure wish there was some way to stop getting old . If only they could put youth in a bottle . I 'd pay anything for that . Again with the youth potion . - How many times do I have to - There 's no such thing ! - But if there were ... - But there 's not ! - I said " if " ! - If , schmiff ! OK , you two lovebirds . I do n't have any youth potion , but I did bring you lunch . - Hello , Kronk ! - Hello , Kronk ! - Hiya , Kronk ! - Rudy ! Gim me some stick . What 's shaking ? - What is n't ? - Brought your favorite : - Pur ? e of mystery meat . - Oooh ! Now that 's a lunch I can sink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prune juice . Ahhh ! Drink up , everyone !

It 's for your house fund . You know . So you can afford that house on the hill your father always wanted you to have . Oh , yeah . And then I could finally get the big thumbs up from Papi . Yeah . How 's that going ? Oh , I 'll get there . Someday . How about fresh pill bug tomorrow ? - All right ! - I 'll see you all later . Oh , boy . Uh , somebody lose this ? Anybody ? That 's weird . Ooh !

Never seen you around . Ah , but I 've seen you , Kronk . - Oh . You look good . - You think ? At least you 're not a cat anymore . - Except for that . - Yes . An unfortunate side effect of our last escapade together . Yeah . Good times . You drank that potion , turned you into a cat . Who would have thought ? It was a pink one like this . Do n't touch the pink one ! It 's cough medicine . Hope you get to feeling better . I 'd love to stay and reminisce , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah . And I have a proposition for you .

Would n't you do anything to ease their suffering , Kronk ? - Of course I would , Yzma . - Good . Then follow me ! Pull the lever ! Uh ... This lever ? - I worked out the bugs . - Just checking . Whoo ! Huh ? Wait for it . This is even better than your last one ! Whoo ! Welcome to my new secret lab . - Souvenir photo ? - Rats ! My eyes are closed . Follow me ! Whoa ! Looks like someone 's been busy . I 've finally done it . I 've created the elixir of life . The answer to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a bottle ! - Regular and diet . - Huh . What do you call this ? Yzma 's Young and Beautiful ! Heh . Catchy . And now that you 're here , I finally have the one person who can make my plan a success ! And that person would be ? - You . - Me ! I knew that . Wait . Why me ? Because I 'm not exactly what you call a " people person . " And everyone trusts you . Those old people will buy anything you tell them to . So you want me to sell this to them ? What do you say , Kronk ? Help me to help you to help them ? I ca n't take money from them . It would n't be right . Oh , too bad . Now I guess you 'll never get that great big house on a hill and the big thumbs up from Papi . Papi ? Bingo . Whoa ! What will you serve it on , Kronk ? Plastic Tupper ?

You see what 's going on here , do n't you , folks ? Here 's a hint . You got sewer slime , fancy packaging , crazy laugh like a demon from the bowels of the earth . It 's a scam !

That 's gon na haunt me in my nightmares . Can we just move on , please ? Guy in the booth ! Now ! Big load of happy coming through . Does n't get better than this , does it ? I 'm making tons of cash for my house fund . Now if only I could find a house on a hill . Kronk , heard you were looking for a house on a hill . - You heard right . - We need money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So we 're selling the senior home . Good luck with that . How much ? Sold !

Swimming pool , golf course ... The windmill 's a killer . And my favorite part of all ... Whoo ! Pancake Junction ! I even built a cozy little guest wing just for you . Yep . Just a big , serious house for a big , serious guy . Like me . That 's who I am . Marge , you getting all this ? - Tina . - Right . Sorry . Anyway , Papi , do n't just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Oh , that Rudy . Long time no see ! Rudy ! What happened to you ? You 're , uh , not wearing any clothes . - Oh , that . I sold my clothes to buy more of Yzma 's youth potion . You sold your clothes ? I sold everything . We even sold the senior home . - You sold your home ? - Yeah . To you . Oh . Yeah . - We 're flat broke . - That 's awful . I know . I ca n't afford any more youth potion . Think you can do anything to help out an old friend ? Oh . How about if I spot you a bottle ? My precious ! Kronk just wants to keep it . We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not right here . Figure that out on your own , genius ? Yeah , sure did . - Figured what out ? - OK . Uh ... Take a look at your pal , Rudy . This is before . This is after . Before . After . You see any difference ? Hmm . Can I see " before " again ? Well , I give up . They look exactly the same . He looks exactly the same , so the potion is worthless , and Yzma 's a crook , and it 's all my fault because I helped her do it . What 's the problem ? Look at him . He 's happy . Eh , fine . You win . Oh , yeah . Rudy ? Yzma 's youth potion is a fake . - She cheated you . - Oh ? And ... I cheated you too . Oh ... I 'm sorry . I guess we better go tell the others . The others ! I almost forgot ! They 're about to elect Yzma emperor ! I never knew that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Thank you , thank you ! I 'd like to thank all the little people , but what do they matter ? What matters is me , me , me ! And when you elect me as your new emperor , I 'm going to be on top of the world ! - Stop this charade ! - Yzma 's youth potion is a fake ! - Stop this charade ! - Yzma 's youth potion is a fake ! Kronk ? What are you doing ? - I want you all to look at Rudy ... - Uh ! ... and tell me what you see . Whoo ! That is one hot hunk of man ! He 's in his golden years . Not getting any younger . Chronologically challenged . I got wrinkles , bunions , ear hair ! I 'm still old ! Hey , he 's right . I 'm still old too . Me too ! And Hildy looks like ... Uh-uh-uh . Do n't even ! Yzma 's a crook ! - Yzma 's a witch ! - Would you excuse me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! Come on , fellas ! Hit it , girls ! - Whoo-hoo ! - Yippee ! - There she is ! - She 's a liar ! - Get her ! - Stop her ! - Do n't let her get away ! - Shame on you ! Got you ! Back off , or I 'll jump ! Wait ! That ca n't be right . Whoo ! OK . Why do n't we all just take a step back ? Not you , Yzma . She stole everything we have ! Yeah , we did n't chase her all the way down here for nothing ! Nice moves back there , Hildy . Oh ! What about you ? Pouncing like a wildcat . Hey , I just realized something . We chased Yzma all the way down here . Did n't I just cover that ? Do n't you see ? We 're busting moves like a bunch of teenagers ! Ooh ! So , what you 're saying is , even though the potion was fake , we 're only as old as we feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you of every last cent . Wait . That ca n't be right . - Let 's get her ! - Stand back ! Do n't make me use this ! Ooh ! Your cough medicine ? No ! My most fiendishly diabolical potion ever ! When I drink this , you wo n't be able to lay a finger on me ! Get her ! - How cute ! - Cutie pie ! See ? I told you so . That 's weird . Let 's all reflect on these lessons on our way home tonight . Well , everyone , back to the alley . - You 're living in an alley ? - Well , sure . We sold our house to you . I got dibs on the cardboard box ! Come on ! You had the box last night . It 's my turn . This is awful . I 've got to find them a place to live . But where can I find a gigantic house with 30 extra bedrooms ? Where ? Think , think , think ! - You thinking what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spinach puffs ? Oh , no ! Your house ! Right ! Whoa , Nelly ! Let 's not overreact . You wan na lose your dream house ? That 's gon na get us the big thumbs up from Papi . If I lose the house , I 'll let Papi down . I ca n't let Papi down . But you tricked Rudy out of that house ! Oh , my ! It 's true ! I took away Rudy 's home ! Hey ! You got that house fair and square ! Yeah , but he cheated his best friend ! No , he did n't ! Yes , I did . I got ta do the right thing . Rudy ! Let 's talk real estate . Looking jiggy , Burt ! Feeling jiggy , Kronk ! All aboard for Pancake Junction ! Tina ! Marge ! You 'll be OK . I 'll help you land on your feet . Do n't worry about us . We 've been contacted by a team of headhunters . - But what 's going to happen to you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No worries . I may be giving up everything , but it was the right thing to do . So when you think of our brief time together here , do n't cry for me , Marge and Tina . You did n't ! Afraid so . Oy . Enough with the pity party . You did good . End of story . Back to work . Yeah , but doing good cost me my dream house . - And then ... - Do n't tell me . It cost me my girl . I said do n't tell me . These oven mitts were the last thing she touched , other than my fragile heart ... Oy . ... before she walked out of my life . Roll film ! Ah ! Wrong movie . What 's a troth ? It all happened at Camp Chippamunka . Yeah , right ! We were there for the Chipmunk Challenge . We won Troop of the Year two years running , going for three .

" - Snot . - Spit . - Snot ! - Spit ! Whoa . Easy , kids . Spit , snot , same general neighborhood . And do n't worry about this Birdwell guy , whoever he is . The important thing here is that there are no losers . But you always win . Right , Kronk ? We always win . But winning 's not what really counts . Remember our motto . " Keep the focus on fun ! " Two shorts and a long . The Aquatic Games are about to begin ! You know what that means , Tipo ? Right . Last one in 's a rotten egg ! Hup , hup , hup , hup ... Halt !

Oh , dear . Are you all right ? Oh , you 're a troop leader . Are you hurt ? Can you speak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a vision . Feet like a pair of landlocked tugboats . Knees like brass doorknobs . Elbows so rough they could take the grain right off a two-by-four . And her eyes . They say the eyes are the window to the soul . Hers were more like steel-reinforced security doors with a combination I just had to crack . No doubt about it . She was the kinda girl you 'd want to bring home to Papi . Wow ! The Chipmunk Handshake of Fellowship , Level Seven . A level attainable only by the most dedicated of troop leaders . You 're good . Well , you 're better . You 're sensational . You 're dazzling . - I 'm Kronk . - I 'm Birdwell . - You 're Birdwell ? - Yes . - But you 're a girl ! - Cannonball ! Ahhh ! - Awesome ! - Phat wave , dude ! Nice form , Chippers .

I knew it ! Fortunately , there are rules about this sort of thing . - What sort of thing ? - Ahem ! Rule 4.7 , paragraph A , subsection 2 , revised : " Troops shall compete in alphabetical order . B before K , except after May , or when sounding like A as in ' neighbor ' or ' weigh ' . " - Says who ? - Says the Official Chipmunk Rulebook . No way ! Way ! Troop Kronk is disqualified ! The aquatic competition goes to Troop Birdwell ! Hey ! That 's not fair ! You ruined the aquatic event for my poppets . But now you 've ruined it for my , uh ... - Poppets . ... poppets ! I knew that ! You should 've thought of that sooner . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this happening ? I-I-I just do n't understand . It just does n't make any sense . Was it loop over , loop under and pull , or loop under , loop over and pull ? Tipo ? You OK , little pal ? We 're gon na lose the trophy because of her . Yeah ! Now , now . Let 's , uh ... keep the focus on fun . - What about her ? - She disqualified us ! Yeah , and you 're the best troop leader ever , Kronk . She ca n't do that to you . Can she ? Just who does she think she is ? Just who does he think he is ? Poor Yoli . You 'll catch your death of cold . And then he tries to act all innocent . Thinks he can charm me with those rippling muscles and that ... that ... crooked smile and those deep , deep sensitive eyes . No ! He ca n't do this to my little Chippers . She ca n't do this to my little Chippers . - Yeah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it . The gloves are coming off . We 're going mano a womano . Let the games begin ! Stroke ! Stroke ! So .

Peppy and poised ! Remember , do n't think of your opponents as a rival troop . - Think of them as ... ... the enemy ! Layout . Very good . This is no ordinary cheer-off . Basket toss . Higher ! This is a test of everything we stand for ! - The culmination of all of our efforts ! - You call that a backflip ? By this time tomorrow , the trophy will be ours ! Right , Chipmunks ? Chipmunks ? Oh , man ! This really stinks . Yeah . I want to go swimming . I want to have some fun . I want to go home . This is all her fault . This is all his fault . Well , if there 's one sure-fire way to cheer up a Chipmunk it 's raisin bread . OK , flour . Sugar , raisins , yeast . I 'm out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Take that , you ... You , you , you , you ... Take that ! " Upset " ? She 's beating me in effigy . But her soul yearns for the soothing salve of human kindness . Go to her . Go . Hey , look . Are n't those your eggs ? " Kronk 's . Property of Kronk . Do not touch , except for Kronk . " Hey ! What are you doing with my eggs ? What are you doing with my raisins , sir ? - These are n't yours . - " Birdwell 's raisins . Property of Birdwell . Do not touch except for Birdwell . " Huh . You think I would have seen that . - I need those raisins . - I need them more . - You 're ruining this . - You 're wrecking it . - You disqualified us ! - You tried to drown us ! - This is all your fault . - This is all your fault ! - Is not . - Is too ! - You twit ! - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , uh ... your kids are really unhappy , huh ?

Now come on , Chich , he 's our friend . Pacha ! You saw the Nostril Flare of Total Rejection . We have to do something before his father gets here . Too late . He 's here . - Ah !

Age seven and three-quarters , sir ! And this is Yupi . He 's only a half . And , uh , that 's my house up there , on the hill . Wow ! I never thought I 'd live to see this . You , of all people , with a wife , kids and a house on a hill . Son , I do n't know what to say . Kronkers ! Hoo-hoo-hoo ! Now I really do n't know what to say . Who 's this ... lovely lady ? Well , she 's , uh ... - I 'm Kronk 's wi ... - Mother-in-law ! - Granny ! - Pach ita ! Papi , this is Pachita @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Enchant ? . Now I see where Chicha gets her looks . OK . Who 's hungry ? Let 's eat . Yeah , I 'm starving . I hope the chef here knows what he 's doing . Yeah , so do I . Whoa , little fella ! Where are you going in such a hurry ? Kronk 's in trouble ! His father 's here ! He does n't have a wife or kids or a house on the hill . I 've got to help him ! Kronk 's in trouble ? I know what to do . Hang on , big fella ! The cavalry 's comin ' ! Ah , well , is n't this nice , Papi ? You , me , Chicha , Mom . So , are you proud of me ? Even a little ? Humph . I 'm just glad to see you gave up all those crazy ideas - about cooking and talking to animals . - Kronk ! Yoo-hoo ! Yeah . Crazy . - Hey , Kronk , what 's cookin ' ? - Nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ No siree . - What 's he talking about ? Him ! - Him who ? - Guy who was here . - What ? - Why 's he asking you about cooking ? ! - Yeah . That 's weird . It 's a ... a business deal . Oh , Kronk 's always got something cooking . Oh , yeah . Speaking of cooking , what does it take to get food here ? - Talk to the chef . - I 'll go ! Perfect . Gives us more time to get to know each other . Oh ... Oh ! Lucky me . I ca n't do this . - Look . Fondue night was your idea . - Ow , ow , ow ! Fondue ! They do n't get fed , they come after you . Wait . I 'll cook . Feel that ! Like a python . Ordering . One bucket of brie , two Gouda gulps and a flaming fountain of fondue . Cardio special . Got it . And a side salad with poppy seed dressing . Papi ? ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - So , what ? Hello ! Anybody up there ? Where 's our food ? I 've worked up quite an appetite . More water . Be right back . Kronk ! I mean ... Kronkles ! OK . Stoke the fire . Stir the fondue . Chop the onions , lie to Papi . - Machu Picchu ! - Kronky-wonky ! Who is this ? - Why , I 'm the lovely Mrs . Kronk . - Kronker ! Uh ... Right . I 'll go check on dinner . Hey ! Is that any way to treat the lovely Mrs . Kronk ? I thought I was the lovely Mrs . Kronk . Look at us . Putting on dresses . Pretending to be women . Kronk ! What are you doing ? Dinner rush . Four specials up and a party of ten in at 8:30 . - Kronk ! - Kronk ? Kronk ! Let me get this straight . She 's Mrs . Kronk and she 's Mrs . Kronk ? - Papi , I can explain . - I 'm the lovely Mrs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my face . - Or maybe not . Is there anyone in this town who is n't Mrs . Kronk ? - Daddy ! - How about them ? - Who are they ? - We 're Kronk 's adorable kids ! Oh ! Kronk ! - Sweetheart ! - Tina , Marge . - Marge . - Tina . - Kronk ! - Well , at least that 's everybody . Boom , baby ! Like how I weaseled myself in the movie ? Nice . - Kuzco ? - How you doing , hot stuff ? Hot stuff ? Kronker ! So this is right about where we started . Miserable . Covered in cheese . Trying to hold on to a big fat lie ! Papi I have a confession . I 'm not who you think I am . I , uh ... I 'm just a humble fry cook . And a delivery boy . That 's not all . Chicha 's not my wife . None of these folks are my wives . And these are n't my kids . Not even the one's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ house up on the hill , that 's not mine either . And Pachita not even a woman . I lied to you , Papi . I just wanted you to be proud of me . I just wanted to get one of these . But all I ever got from you was ... Yeah , that . I 'm a failure . The truth is I 've got nothing . But Kronk , you 've got us . And I would n't trade you guys for anything . Well , that would explain why you do n't have anything . For your information , Kronk used to have a big house . On a hill . - But he gave it away to us old folks . - And he had a girlfriend too . They baked us raisin bread . He gave up all those things to protect his friends . You were actually listening to my stories ? I was weeping on the inside . Wait a second . I really would n't trade you guys for anything . Not even for a thumbs up . You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and think I 've got nothing , but the truth is I 've got everything . Not yet , you do n't . I 'm proud of you , son . Ohhh ... Whoo ! Papi ! Come here , you little squirt . Kronk , wait ! Tipo ! How 's my little Chipper ? I brought a friend . Hello , Kronky-poo . Miss Birdy-poo . I 've missed you so much . I missed you more . I thought ... We 'd never see each other again . You know what this means . If they 're finishing each other 's sentences then it must be true love . - Kronk ! - Awesome ! Huh ? Oh , how cute ! ?

Good morning . Welcome to the ... Primortal Fighting Championship welcomes you . The PFC would like to announce and is pleased and proud to announce to our world and our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of MMA . The many times decorated , three-time world champion , Brody James , and the undefeated force of nature , " Psycho " Caesar Braga . Let 's hear it for them , folks . We 're going to be right here in Bangkok to ensure that this will be a fight for the ages . Let me tell you , it 's going to be a hell of a fight ! Yes , sir . Yes , sir . Hi , good morning . Joe Kanarot from Now On . I have just two questions . The first is , does the PFC still stand by its policy of drug tolerance with absolutely zero drug testing required by your league ? I 'm glad you asked me that because I feel like it 's high time for all of organized sports to recognize the inevitable , and fling open the doors to unfettered competition . If there are no regulations , except those governed by the laws of common sense , then there 's no cheats . It 's a level playing field . This is what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to give them , thank you . Even if this means a clear and present danger to your fighters ? Well , you know what , I invite you to take a good look at these two fine specimens and tell me if either of them look like they 're in any sort of medical duress to you . My next question is for you , Mr . Caesar . Can you give us an update on the assault and battery charges filed on behalf of your ex-wife ? You want to ask the question again ? Sure . Can you give us an update on the assault and battery charges filed on behalf of your ex-wife ? Wait , wait , wait ! As you can see , folks , it 's gon na be a hell of a fight . Not right now . Okay , that 's good , that 's good , Jazzo , yeah . Yeah , good , good , good . Okay . Looking for somebody ? Yeah , yeah . Brody James . All this come with him ? That 's right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We 're not open to the public . Sorry . T-shirt 's some sort of punishment ? Who the hell are you ? I 'm the guy Brody asked to fly halfway around the world to help him train for this fight . Funny , I thought that was my job . After you 're done with your phone call , maybe you can tell me where I could set up . I 'll be back after I do some shopping . What the hell is this Bruce Lee shit ? " Boards do n't hit back . " Man , forget this clown . Are you okay ? Yeah , fine . Okay , stick and move , stick and move ! Do n't go after this guy ! Step ... Take a step back ! Do n't ... Step back ! Do n't ... What are you doing ? Do n't move up ! You got ta go easier , Cobra ! At this rate , nobody wants to spar with you and you got three more rounds ! What about him ? No . Hey , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up , Mr . Miyagi ? Practicing your wax-on , wax-off ? What do you even call that ? Tae Bro ? You know , it 's rude to ignore people . Did n't your mama teach you better ? So , who ordered pizza ? Now , it ai n't New York pizza , but it ai n't LA neither , so I do n't want to hear too many complaints . Hey . You guys working hard . Hey , Taj . I would say , " Looking good , " but we know that is a lie . Some of you guys are ugly as hell . - What 's up , Brody ? - Hey , Coach . - Good to see you . - Taking care of business , as always . Case Walker in the house . Hell yeah , man . Good to see ya . Man , welcome to the Land of Smiles . I see you already made yourself at home . Yeah , yeah , getting there . I checked in and somehow I do n't think we 're in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already all booked up . Since you 're a late addition , you 're on my dime . Man , I 'm sorry . Nothin ' personal . I 'd do you better if I could . Got to meet all the guys , right ? Yeah , everybody 's real friendly . Hey , Brody , you know Blacky Chan here ? Shut the fuck up . He 's here for me . You got a problem with that ? You bringing ' this guy in here to help you train , champ ? Sure . Why not ? I 'm going up against that monster Braga , I could use all the help I could get . You 're gon na dismantle that bitch-ass Brazilian , Brody . Smartest thing you ever said , you know ? Hey , Brody . Come on . I 'm going to be working it right off . I hate that look . Fine . My man , Case , always keeping me honest . Thought that was my job . All right , so I go get changed , do some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? I say we do a hard 10k . We only got five-and-a-half weeks till you fight Braga , and we got a lot of ground to make up . What do you think , Case ? Well , I would say do a moderate 5K . No sense in being too sore to train tomorrow , right ? Looks like it 's settled . I 'll go get changed . Yo , Matty , what about sparring partners ? I still got three more rounds . You got plenty of people to spar with . What about Old School here ? I want him . Nah , nah , nah , it 's Case 's first day in the gym . It 's okay . I 'll spar with ya . See ? We 're all good . Look , Case , this kid is pretty tough . It 's okay , Brody . You go get changed . Yeah , like hell . I 'm gon na watch this from right over here . This is gon na be hell of a show . What 's going on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Case could have been huge . Just did n't know how to play the game . Lots of different ways to play the game , Brody . Yeah , but in the end , it all comes down to winning or losing . And I think my old pal , Case , is about to lose the hard way today . Well , maybe you should tell your new pal , Cobra , to go about 80% on Case . What , you got a sweet spot for Case now ? Come on , he 's not even in your class . You know , speaking of which , when are you and me gon na go a few rounds ? Brody , I tolerate you . First , because I grew up with brothers and I kind of look at you as one of their idiot friends . Second , you 're married . Third , even if you were n't ... And fourth , just ... You gon na get in the ring Jet Leroy ? Just let me know when you 're ready . Come on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I ca n't wait for Cobra to wreck this dude ! Speed dial fucking EMT , man . The old school is about to get schooled ! Turn the fucking phones off ! People wan na see me , they got ta pay ! You gon na listen to me , okay ? Take it easy in there , all right ? The more rounds you get in , the better , you understand ? I 'm gon na fucking waste him . Do n't pretend like you do n't want him outta here , too . All right , let 's go , Cobra ! Let 's go , man ! Hang back , hang back ! Hang back ! Okay , okay . Hang back , Cobra , hang back ! Okay , get him , get him ! Cobra , Cobra ! Are you all right ? Cobra . Somebody call an ambulance . I do n't need this , Matty , I 'm okay . It 's regulation , kid . You get knocked out , you get checked out . So , what do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's not going to be happy about this . So , you ready to get this run in ? You know , why do n't you go run by yourself ? What 's wrong ? " What 's wrong " ? About a minute in , you already knew you had that kid 's number . And you want to know the really fucked up part ? Is that you knew that he knew it , too , and you still went out there and just completely kicked the living shit out of him . What about all that karate code of honor shit you 're always talking about ? Thought you were a better man than that , Case . I expected more out of you . Come on , Brody , you do n't think he had it coming ? Course I did . I 'm just fuckin ' with you . Quit being such a pussy . Says here that Case was undefeated in 42 fights . Come on , man , that ca n't be true . You saw what Old School did to Cobra . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Yo , Brody ! Brody ! Hell no , Brody , man , we 're supposed to be lifting ' . Spot me , bro . Man , I 'm outta here . Call me when you wan na win a fight . I always knew you were gay . Me ? The brunette 's a man . Dude , I was kidding . Guess who 's two hours late . Yo , Brody , man , what the fuck ? Yeah , yeah , yeah , I got it , I know . But , look , just the first couple days . Still getting into the swing of things . - I 'm not gon na be late all the time . - It 's okay , champ , it 's okay . We 'll get you back in shape . But this guy you brought with you ... This guy 's a disruptive presence to the camp . But it is my camp , right ? Looks like the old school is showing Brody James how it 's done . Round before you fire . Holy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Where 's Brody ? Too early ? What the hell are you doing here , Vega ? Came to see the guy who beat my guy . Which one of you is called Old School , gave Cobra a concussion and broke three of his ribs ? Jesus Christ , Case Walker . Casey " The Headcase " Walker . It 's been years . What you been up to , brother ? - " Brother " ? - Come on . It was a lousy contract and your team should 've been on top of it . You got nerve , I 'll give you that . Well , let 's make it right . Got room on the undercard now , thanks to you . So , I came down to see what you can do . Thanks , but I 'm done for today . Hey . Hold on , be right back . Hey , what the ... Hey , hey , hey . What the hell are you doin ' , man ? What 's your problem ? Do you know who that guy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I do n't understand why shit 's always got ta be so goddamn difficult for you . You want a shot , go show the man what you can do . Everything does n't have to be so goddamn difficult , all right ? Look , we really need him . We need a fighter . Excuse me , Mr . Vega . Excuse me . Let me try out . I mean , if you 've got room on your card , let me show you my stuff . Sorry , kid , I got things to do . Hey , I 'll spar him . Taj , come on . It 's okay , Taj . Come on , just show him what you got . Take it to Old School . All right , let 's go , Taj . You got it ! Let 's go ! Taj , get ' em ! Get ' em , get ' em ! Come on , kid , you 're losing him . Come on , Taj . Come on , come on . Like I said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of here . It 's okay ... I do n't understand . He was n't even trying . Yesterday , he was unstoppable . All right , you handle publicity , I 'll recruit the talent . Do you honestly think that the guy you saw today is the same guy that beat Cobra yesterday ? You do n't understand , okay ? It 's like this guy looks at the world through the wrong end of the telescope , all right ? He 's not all there . He wants it his way or no way . I ca n't do business with somebody like that . Well , sounds like you two have some history . Care to elaborate ? Yeah , I want you to focus all of your energy on generating interest for the Braga-James fight . - Understood ? - Understood . - Understood ? - Understood , I 'm on it , Hugo . Well , " I 'm on it " is not good enough , okay ? I 've got everything riding on this . Hugo , I 'm calling in every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ finished with everything I need to do , from the Internet ties to the media buy-ins , believe me , they will know about this fight on Mars . Why stop at Mars ? Hey , what the fuck was that out there ? Hey , man , if you want to fight for Hugo Vega , that 's your business . I 'm just here to help you out , right ? - Yeah , but ... - Am I right ? So let 's go do some mitts , come on . Dude , you lit his ass up . Dude , do n't be a dumb-ass . He was n't even freakin ' trying . Need something ' ? Yeah , what do you call all that ? I 've never seen anything like that before . Hey , man , why did you let me pound on you like that ? " Pound " ? Yeah , Why 'd you agree to spar with me if you were n't gon na fight back ? Well , it looked like it was important to you , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've got nothing to prove to the man . Hugo Vega is one of the top promoters in the sport and you just shined him on . Can you teach us ? Been there , done that . We 're all in the same camp , bro . We should all help each other out , right ? Yeah ? How you going to help me out ? Come on , dude , this guy 's not gon na teach us anything . Wait a second . Look , I 'll show you a few things after I 'm done with my workout , okay ? That 's only after I 'm finished working out . After you 're done ? - Yeah . - Okay . Got it . Yeah , no hurry , man . Just , whenever you got some free time . Okay , it 's going to be awhile . You done ? Okay , stop . Gloves off . Okay , question . Why do you wrap your hands in boxing and in MMA ? So you do n't sprain your wrist ? Or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't know how to punch . You do n't know how to punch without hurting yourself . Not your opponent , hurting your damn self . News flash , guys . In martial arts , your hands , your feet , your elbows , your knees even your head were used as weapons and were trained as such . You understand ? See , striking is not just about putting on gloves and hitting a heavy bag and letting a heavy bag stop your fist . Striking is about perfecting the technique . Maximum result , minimal effort . Okay ? Just like the precision of a golf swing . You transfer all the power into one specific point . See ? Stop that shit . Okay , now look . If I were an inch closer or further away , they would n't have broken . See , you have to find your sweet spot . So distance . Yeah , yeah , yeah . Distance along with proper technique is where you 're the most powerful . Now you try . I want you to punch through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wrist straight , not like this , like this . Go . See ? Now , hitting a heavy bag would give you nearly a 100% success rate . Not so with this . Yeah , and it does n't hurt your hand . Five hundred hand strikes . Knuckles and shuto . Five hundred kicks , ball of the foot , shin and instep . Rub this on your bruises tonight . I ca n't believe I 'm doing this shit again . I must be some kind of fool . ... James will have his hands full up against the seven-foot " Psycho " Caesar Braga . Braga is undefeated and has decimated his last three opponents . Tickets are now on sale at the Bangkok Sporting ... I do n't want to get hit with any of his power shots . I think I 'll have Case work with me on that . ... Bangkok heavyweight championship ! It 's gon na be a hell of a fight . Hello , everybody , hello , hello , hello . Hey , everybody , nice to see you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Kanarot . Good morning to you , too . So , how is Thailand treating you , Mr . James ? Like a king , so far . I have a few questions for you . You bring security this time or what ? No need , I assure you . Okay , are you nervous about the fight with Braga ? I 'm a bit nervous . Nervous that I might end his career and his family would have to go graze in less favorable pastures . Elaborating a little bit on the Beaumont , Texas nightclub fight where Quinton " Rampage " Jackson pulled you out of ? I do n't think you have the right information . But Jackson was arrested yesterday on assault charge in connection with this , and he 's on a $10,000 bail . No comment . Hey , champ , who 's that ? I know who that is . That 's Case Walker . I thought he died in prison . Dead guys do n't move like that . Not many live one's either . All right , everyone , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sit him down with Inside MMA . - Any last questions ? - Yes . What 's his plan after the fight ? You do know you 're allowed to talk to me , right ? I mean , you have n't said so much as " hello " since the night we met in Texas . Hello . Okay , okay . That 's better . I guess asking for some eye contact would be pushing it . What with your hectic social life and all . I bet your life is pretty hectic working for Hugo Vega . But I bet it comes with its benefits ? Well , you know , not that I need to qualify myself , but my job with PFC and my boss is purely professional . Not that you would be insinuating something more , which I know your ass was n't . No . So , I see you made a lot of new fans today . Press was eating you up . What were those little things you were doing ? - Muscle ups . Yeah . - Muscle ups @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was just doing what I do . Doing what you do ? Well , you know , you might want to think about toning back on some of that awesomeness of yours . Just a little bit . At least , while your old pal , Brody , is around . What do you mean ? Come on , Case . You 're not stupid , I know that . Shoot , Brody should n't be worried about what I 'm doing . He should be worried about his fight with Braga . I 'm just here to help him out . And if you just so happen to get written up by some of the best fight journalists in this country , well that would be pretty nice , too , now would n't it ? Is n't there something you want to ask me ? Boy . Well , if you 're not actually gon na ask me out on a date , I really do hope you 're at least thinking about it . Okay , look . Lunch , Louie Thai , Saturday at 2:00 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah ? Yeah ? Okay . Well , I will see you then . Do n't stand me up . Let 's see . How long is this going to take ? You want to look good , right ? Hey , man , what took you so long ? Do you know how hard it is to find his size in Thailand ? Dude 's a freaking Sasquatch with a girly waist . You know I can hear you , right ? Do n't worry about it , I got just the thing . Check this out right here . Kinda colorful , is n't it ? Nah , man , this is what 's up . Besides , Myca 's like a dime piece , so you 're gon na wan na look your best . Yeah , do n't forget to bring flowers either . Where am I going to get flowers ? Those are pretty . You think so ? Yup , they 're called calla lilies . Calla lilies ? Try to say that three times fast . - Calla lily , calla lily , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You win . Well , listen , I 'll get these calla lilies as soon as we find your mom or dad , okay ? How 's that sound ? My daddy 's in heaven and my mom is ... Morgan , there you are . Baby , how many times have I told you to stay where I can see you ? But I was helping Mr ... Mr . Case . I was helping Mr . Case buy flowers . Flowers ? I wonder who for . Now , you be good for Boonkie , okay ? I 'll be back in a few hours . Bye , Mr . Case . Where we 're going is right over there . So , this is our neighborhood while we 're here . It 's one of our favorite spots . It 's nice . So , Morgan 's adorable . Thank you . I did n't mean to spring her on you like that . I was going to tell you at lunch . It 's all good . I was just surprised ... How does motherhood work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She gets her to her tutor , gymnastics , karate . Karate ? Yeah , karate . She loves it . I told those t-shirt guys , " Forget it . " There 's no way I 'm going to do anything for that cheap . Not this day . Here he is . All right , I do n't have time to beat around the bush . Word on the street is you 're not exactly setting the world on fire in training camp . " Word on the street " ? You 've been watching Starsky Hutch reruns ? Maybe Huggy Bear will come join us later ? What are you , a fuckin ' moron ? You think this is some kind of joke ? You 're one loss away from anonymity at the UFC . I 'm giving you a second life . I 'm laying the groundwork for you to become a fuckin ' superstar and all you can do is make some fuck-tasticjokes . You believe this guy ? Brody meant no disrespect , Mr . Vega . Okay , I did n't ask @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be getting this guy in fighting shape , not making bullshit excuses for him . So , what happened ? He claimed to be a stockbroker and died robbing a jewelry store . I 'm sorry to hear it . Yeah , do n't be . We met , got married two months later . Kinda swept me off my feet before I ever really got to know him . Guess we live and learn ? Yeah , we do . So , what else can you tell me about yourself ? Other than having some really bad-ass moves in the cage . Well , I 'm from New Orleans . I happen to be the only person I know without a cell phone . I do n't know how interesting that is . But I guess I 'm just like everybody else , just trying to make it day by day , you know ? Well , there was one more thing I was a bit curious about . You want to tell me a little bit about your time in prison ? Why you went in ? Who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I just looked into it . " Looked into it " ? You mean , like , you investigated me ? No . The Internet . Maybe you 've heard of it ? Welcome to this wacky world of dating in the 21st century . Look , Case , I 'm sorry if I offended you . But I 've been through a lot . And I have to be extremely careful about who I bring into my life . Into Morgan 's life . Hey , look , I think we made a mistake . I need to go . So , what 's your plan for improving the situation ? Because you got less than four weeks to turn things around . No worries , Hugo . Kickin ' it into high gear . This fight 's in the bag . What gear are you taking ? I 'm not taking anything . I thought I 'd give my body a rest . That 's a problem . What do you got ? You bring anything ? - Well , I got some Deca and some Winnie tabs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call my guy . All right , go see my doc , okay ? He 'll get you on a course of Test Cypionate , Winstrol . We 'll throw in some Anadrol . Should have you in beast mode by the time of the fight . If you do n't think Braga is doing the same thing , you 're a lot dumber than I thought . Come on , champ , balls to the wall . Give our customers and your fans a fight they 'll never forget . Do that and we 'll all be making more money than you know what to do with . All right , I 'm outta here . Lay off the nuts . Keep this between us , all right ? I do n't want to hear any of Case 's holier-than-thou bullshit . Well , I can keep a secret . And , apparently , so can he . Okay , what ? When I stepped out to have a smoke , I saw your boy , Case , with Myca and the nanny and her kid . Just outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him to the kid ? Dude , I do n't even know why you bother . The freak over there probably drinks from a toilet anyway . Hey , chill , she 's a human being . If you say so . What 's going on ? Brody wants to spar with you . I think he 's pissed about something . Hey , Case , come over here . Let 's get a little work in today . Do n't let him get set ! Hey , man , what 's your problem ? Go for the chicken wing . Stay on him , champ ! Feet first , Brody ! Okay , that 's enough ! Brody , sorry , man . Go fuck yourself . - Fuck . - Dude , you smoked him . Shut up . Yo , Case , what is it , man ? What 's wrong ? If you ca n't control yourself , you sure as hell ca n't control the outcome . Damn it ! Damn it ! That 's the second one of my fuckin ' fighters that mock @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! Just give me a second here . Okay . Okay . You 're going to find out everything there is to know about Case Walker . - Okay ? - Yeah . Complete bio , fight history , criminal record , whatever exists about him , I want to know . - Get back to me ASAP . - Okay . Now . Stop your bitchin ' and go . Faster . Come on back up . Two at a time ! - Two a time ? - Yes ! Okay , that 's one . Hell , man , what 'd I ever do to you ? You want a babysitter or a trainer ? Dude , you might be the worse sensei ever . Not like I have n't heard that before . Down . What 's up ? I wanted to apologize . It was completely inappropriate for me to pry the way I did . I realize now that privacy is underappreciated in this day and age . It 's no big deal . Look , I had a really great time hanging out with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Case , I do n't want anything from you , other than ... Just you being who you are and your good company . That is if you 're still open to sharing it . Sometimes , I think we forget how important it is just to ... Just show up and take care of the good friendships that we have , or might like to have . Good friendships are hard to come by . Ai n't that the truth . Hey , Myca . Thank you . Hey , Brody . What you got there , man ? How is that any business of yours ? You hungry ? Come on , man . Let 's go get some street meat . They got this hot sauce , they only have in every now and again , it 's fucking great . Your order ? Two orders of the chicken satay , stir fry vegetables . No peanut sauce . - Name ? - Isaac Cox . Okay . What ? You know , this place could grow on me . Yeah , me too . For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do n't think I need to tell you , but with this Braga fight you 're gon na have to get focused and cut out all this bullshit in your life . At least until after the fight . You need to pick apart his flaws and plan a strategy that he ca n't help but fall into . Brody ? Brody . Come on , man . Do you not want this anymore ? If you do n't , it 's okay , man . Just be honest with yourself . I want this fight , Case . I do . But it 's not just about what I want anymore . There 's a lot of moving pieces in this whole operation now . There 's people with families depending on me . I get hurt , there 's no insurance that 's going to cover me . And you got the media bullshit . Not to mention the political bullshit . It never ends . One thing I envy about you is , your life is simple . Come and go as you please . Got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up to . Just you . What you trying to say , my grass is greener ? Man , I do n't even have grass . I basically live in a van down by the river . Yeah , that 's true . Your life really does suck . You know , we need to schedule some time for you to go fuck yourself , okay . Done . I 'm all in , Case . I 'm 100% committed to this fight . That 's good to hear . Now , show me . Better yet , show yourself . All right . I got ta say something though . I got ta apologize for ... Well , how I acted the other day . I deserved that ass whooping , man . My ego 's just so used to me getting whatever I want , however I wanted it ... When I heard about the you and Myca thing , I lost it . I started acting like a spoiled brat . Man , that 's behind us , man . Okay ? You were raging ' . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You know what I say ... - " An angry mind is a narrow mind . " - That 's right . And for your information , there is no " me and Myca thing . " If you had half a brain , there would be . That 's a good woman , right there . Man , she saw through all my bullshit from day one . That 's why she keeps rejecting me . Besides , I 'm married . You remember that ? That 's good ! Yeah , you are , brother . Yeah . I 'm gon na make that right , too . Just watch . You 're looking at the new , improved and totally serious Brody James . Isaac Cox . Isaac Cox ! There it is . What do you think ? Not bad . Hey , Matty ! Get over here . Come on . This shit has gone on long enough between you two . All right , I realize you both come from different backgrounds and all that and I know you both got your own ideas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the matter is , you 're both here for the same reason . That 's to make better fighters . Am I right ? - Yeah . - Yeah . I think this gym is big enough for all of our egos . So , let 's put this shit to bed . I ai n't got no problem with that . Come on , Matty , take the man 's goddamn hand , all right ? Do n't make me have to fire your ass . See , that 's not so bad , right ? Now , maybe we can get some real work done . An angry mind . You need to take advantage of that . How much is this insurance costing me ? Believe me , Brody , it 's worth it . Besides , you 're making enough money to afford it . Yeah , man . Plus , you got kids . What if something happens to you ? You could lose everything off one major injury . What if I do n't pass the physical ? Do n't be ridiculous , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What if something I 'd taken in the past shows up in my blood work ? They disqualify me ? Whatever you might have taken before you came to Thailand wo n't still be in your system . Do n't worry about it . Hey , I 'd really like to thank you . For what ? Well , you said some things I really needed to hear . And I 'd like to show my appreciation if you 'd let me . Well , I appreciate your appreciation , Mr . Walker . So what do you have in mind ? A Louie Thai do-over . I 'd like that . Done . Come on , Creech ! Come on , Creech ! That 's all right , bro . You just did n't have it today , that 's all . His fucking style , man , it 's just throwing me off . I can tell . Dude . If it 's styles that win fights , I just got ta learn how ... No flinch . Block only what comes close . You know , Brady @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Loyalty is rare these days . Well , I consider my friends family . Where is your family , Case ? I mean , if you do n't mind me asking . I know now you are about your privacy . Okay , stop . First , let me apologize about the other evening . I 'm way out of practice with this whole dating thing . But I 'd really like to get to know you better , so listen , you can ask me anything from now on , okay ? - Okay . - Okay . So , is there a Mrs . Case ? Any little Cases running around ? No mini-Cases . I thought there 'd be a Mrs . Case one time . But turned out she was already married . - Yeah . - That must 've hurt . What was up with that ? Well , there are these women who fixate on romancing inmates . There 's a name for them , but I forget . But once the inmate gets released , then the fantasy 's over . How long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I believe seven 's a very lucky number . - You do , do you ? - Yeah , I do . Case , I think things are really gon na start turning around for you . Think so ? I think so . So here 's my place . Thank you . So , I hope I did n't have you out too late . It must be just about the time to tuck little Morgan into bed ? Morgan spending the night with Boonkie tonight , so , I do n't have a curfew . So , I guess you have to get up pretty early to train ? Yeah , yeah . I got to get up pretty early to train Brody . And , you know , work out . Well , I had a really great time tonight . - Yeah , me , too . Me , too . - Thank you . Yeah . Good night . Bye . Bye . You froze again , did n't you ? " No , Myca , I do n't have to wake up early . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have to look forward to is going back to my room and talking to my-goddamn-self . " You are an idiot . All you had to do was say , " Well , Myca , since you do n't have a curfew , I would like to spend more time with you . " Since we happen to be in front of your condo ... " You 'd think I 'd get it . You 'd think my dumb ass would get it . But no ... Fucking stupid ... Who is it ? What ? Mr . Vega has been hearing a lot of good things about you lately . Some very , very good things . And I care , why ? This . What 's that ? It 's a contract . It 's your contract to fight for the PFC . And where 's Vega ? Do n't flatter yourself . Mr . Vega is a very busy man . You must be out of your mind . You know what , those work fine . But these are too basic . It 's too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Caesar Braga . B-R-A-G-A . It says here , " Barga . " " Barga , " not the name . Not the name . These ... I 'm gon na have to re-do all of these , guys . - No , it 's Braga , like that . Not Barga like ... - Mr . Vega ? Excuse me , Mr . Vega . Yeah , who the hell are you ? Well , I 'm Eddie , but everyone just calls me Creech . All right , how can I help you ? Mr . Walker wanted me to deliver this to you . - Mr . Walker . - Yes , sir . All right ... Yeah ? Can I help you ? Well , I was just kind of wondering here ... No . No . No . Whatever you 're thinking , no . Okay ? Please , we 're kind of busy here . Okay , but you know it says " Barga " ? Okay , no , please , just get out of here ! Please ! This is what I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... You got ta look at it . Look at it . Excuse me a second . What the fuck ? The balls on this guy . Who the fuck does he think he is ? Did you find out ? Did you dig up anything ? - I 'm working on it . I 'm working on it . - Well , work a little harder . Okay ? I do n't care if you have to dig up the whole Go . Go . Go . What is it with you and Vega anyways ? What he 's done to the sport is a travesty , man . It 's what he represents . What ? And you 're so pure ? What 's wrong with doing it clean ? That 's the way it started , right ? Everybody 's got their price , Case . Tell me , there 's not some number out there to convince you to bend the rules , just a little . What does it benefit a man if he gains the world , but loses his soul , right ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on , let 's pick this shit up . Hey ! What are you guys watching ? Case , this is some wicked shit . Where the hell did you find that ? Showed up yesterday on Worldstar . Then it just exploded . Now it 's everywhere . That happened years ago , I was framed . How the hell did you not end up under the jail for this shit ? Long story . Felon in possession of a firearm . That 's five years mandatory . You planted that gun . What 'd you say , you piece of shit ? I ai n't got ta plant no gun to get rid of your black ass . You done lost your manners , boy . Hold his ass . Fuck ! I said hold his ass still ! Like I said , long story . One that 's better forgotten . Are you fucking kidding me ? Our pay-per-view numbers should be twice this by now . - We do n't turn this around , I 'm fucked . - Wan na get Myca on the line @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she can . I 've thrown more money into this thing than in my last five fights and still I ca n't move the fucking needle . Fans just do n't wan na see this fight , simple as that . Fans do n't wan na see Brody James fight , that 's the problem . He 's done . He 's over , he 's yesterday 's news . I hear he 's looking a lot better , boss . It 's too little . Too late . Now , Case Walker ... It 's different story with that Internet cop thing . - What if ... - What are you thinking ? - Mr . Case ? - Mr . Case ! What ? Mr . Walker , your video has exploded . Do you think its popularity is a symbolic response to police brutality in your country ? No comment . Now could you people move back , please . Just answer that , please . You have seen the video , right ? Okay , back up ... Back up . Back up . All right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Walker 's publicist . He will not be answering any questions or conducting interviews at this time . Any media requests can go through my office , and my office only . - Come on ! - Please . Please . Come in . So , what do you think ? This is really nice . But whose is it ? No strings attached , Case . It 's Vega 's way of showing his appreciation for everything you 've done for Brody . Twenty-four-hour security guards . No one 's getting in here without your permission . Or Vega 's . He 's trying to help . Look , I 'm just around the corner if you need me . I 'm sure your services do n't come cheap . Case , I 'm trying to help as a friend , if that 's okay with you . Well , okay . I 'll go get my stuff . Thank you . Hey , Matty , who 's this guy ? Sambo guy , supposed to help Brody with his leg locks . Used to fight in Pride . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ local . What 's the matter ? He just pops up outta nowhere and he 's working with a number one contender ? Now you know how I felt when you walked in . Come on , man , what 's a Russian Sambo specialist doing in Bangkok ? And he just happens to come to this gym ? Come on , man , something does n't fit . Yeah , not like a 250-pound black karate guy . Hey , guys , take it down a notch , come on you got one week before the fight , Brody . I 'm only 230 . You look 260 ... Shit ! What the hell happened ? I had him in a heel-hook and he spun the wrong way . What ? Fuck , it was an accident , Brody moved . Shit ! Somebody get some ice ! Hey , how 's it going ? We 're waiting for the nurse to come back with his release papers . He wo n't need surgery , but he 's gon na be out for the next eight to 12 weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Champ , I 'm so sorry . You 'll bounce back . We 'll reschedule your fight . Vega needs this fight more than I do . He 's not going to reschedule it . Now , I got ta fuckin ' pay for re-hab . I 'm gon na lose my house . No , Brody , you forgot . You have insurance now . The hell I do . I 'm not gon na qualify , Case . Well , why not ? Because I 've been taking steroids , all right ? The whole time . I 've been on them since the beginning of the camp . How do you think I got in shape so quick ? You mean these steroids ? Well , see these ... These are just crushed up baby aspirin . And these , saline solution with a little food coloring . You know , Matty , you need to change those locks ' cause they 're a little too easy to break . Yeah , he switched them out a long time ago . You knew about this ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But , it was actually kind of funny watching you get stronger , thinking all the while it was some kind of drug . You believed it , so you achieved it . All the while it was just you . Motherfucker . Thanks , man , I owe you one . - Case . You mind if we come in ? - Hey , it 's your place . All right , look at you . What 's this ? Getting my stuff together . Wait a minute , somebody told him he had to move out ? No , nobody said anything . But with Brody out of commission , and the fight off ... Yeah , Brody may be done , but this fight 's going to happen . Really ? Who 's fighting Braga ? You are . - What 's this ? - Go on , open it . You 're getting a million dollars . How does that feel ? Are you serious ? Dead serious . Half now and half after the fight . Just like you stipulated in your contract . See @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , are in business . What do you say , my brother ? You wanted a shot . That 's your shot . This is a whole lot of money . Yes , it is . Breaking news in the Brody James-Caesar Braga PFC 14 Battle in Bangkok . James is out after suffering a knee injury in training . Replacing him will be veteran fighter Case Walker who shot back into the spotlight with a video of him destroying four cops while handcuffed went viral weeks ago . With less than a week to prepare , Walker 's unlikely victory against four armed policemen might not be as tough as going up against the seven-foot , 350 pound , undefeated " Psycho " Caesar Braga , who 's said to be the most dangerous man in all of MMA . That 's a lot of adulation for my stand-in . Why do n't you come say hi ? Hey , hey , Brittany . Hey , BJ . Davy . Man , you guys got big . Hey , Case . Congrats on the fight . I 'm actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I 'm just relieved that I have his consent . You have my consent if you go out there and whip his ass . Now , go get in the ring before I do something nasty with these crutches . Well , you heard him , all right . Bye , James gang . Bye . See ya . Two . Two-kick . Nice . Now move out on a ' 45 , now . Three . Still feels strange . Yeah , I know , but do n't worry about it , this shit happens all the time . Plus , it 's giving me a nice chance to scout you out before you go and get that belt off of Braga . I 'm coming for that belt , you know . Two . Two . Two-kick . Time . Nah , he just got done hitting mitts . All right , I 'll get him over here . Hey , Case , come here real quick . Yo , Case , let me holla at you man ! Why in the fuck are you running around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lit up ! Arrested . I go to the motherfuckin ' jail ' house ! And both my chicks are there , my baby mama and my side chick ! You done got me arrested and fucked up my sex life ! I 'm gon na fuck you up , man ! I 'm gon na kick you dead in the motherfuckin ' ... Yeah , real funny . The man seems mad . I 'll get you back . You know what 's up . Hey , Taj . So , what 's been wrong with you today ? - Yeah , you do n't want to know . - Try me . You said you did n't want to fight for Vega . Then Brody gets hurt and you take his place . Yeah , what about it ? You said you did n't want to fight for Vega . Hey , man , I understand . For a mill , I 'd change my principals , too . What does he know , he 's just a kid , right ? A kid who really looks up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said you would n't fight for Vega . Yeah , but , I mean , these are my terms . Yeah , your terms . But I will promise you this . Hugo Vega pulls strings at many different levels . He needs big numbers on this fight or he loses everything . What 's that got to do with me ? Case , do n't you realize you 're the reason for the big numbers . I mean last week alone your police video got 20 million hits on the Internet . You ca n't buy publicity like that . Brody getting hurt was the best thing that could have ever happened to Hugo Vega . Why would you want to practice leg locks with that guy after what happened to Brody ? There 's something I want to learn . Hey , do me a favor , keep him busy . - So , Case , are you ready to warm up ? - How much did he pay you ? What ? Who ? Vega . How much he pay you to take out Brady 's leg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accident . I had Brody in a heel-lock and he spun the wrong way . You 're a fuckin ' liar . What the fuck you doing ' with my phone ? You sent a two-word text , 10 minutes after your session with Brody . " It 's done . " You fuckin ' serious ? Put your hands down . I 'm definitely not going to the cops with this . Vega 's the one that needs to suffer . Way I see it , the way we beat Vega is by Case beating his man . That 's how we hurt him . Exactly . And after you defeat Braga , sign with a different promoter . You 'd be the champ then , you call the shots . But then Vega still makes a shitload of money and gets away with what he did to Brody . I could just walk away and not fight . Yeah , that would screw him royally . But then you 'd be out of the other half-million you get after the fight . Plus , he 'd sue you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Win the battle , not the war ? Look , sometimes you got ta just take half a victory . Compromise a little . Not real good at that . But learning . What he did to Brody , use it as incentive . Fuel to the fire . What do you want to do , Case ? Looks like he finally made his decision . It 's the right way to go . Assuming , that is , he can actually beat Braga . All right , that big ol ' monster starts moving forward . I 'm on my bicycle . There you go , there you go . He plants his feet , he 's looking to throw . Kick the legs . Nice . All right . Takes you down . Takes ' em out . I 'm screwed . That 's true . All right , look , we get there . TK Scissors ... He takes them out , TK Scissors , slip out the back . Got it , Coach . That 's fantastic , great . All right . We 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hit it before the fight starts . At $69 per , that is almost $30 million . Yes ! See , that 's what I 'm talking about .

They ca n't break in the house . We 've got people here and everything . Well , just make yourselves at home . Just hang out . Watch TV or something but , hey , do n't touch the minibar . OK ? Because I already ate , like , a $10 box of Twizzlers . You know what ? You 're being a very bad host . All right , I 'll be right back . - ( @door_closes ) - We just got here ! Well , I can see I 'm gon na have to clean out these gutters while we 're here . Fix that mailbox . And what 's with all the trash in the driveway ?

WALT : I-I do n't mean to be critical , but , you know , your effort is just kind of lacking . - JOAN : Walt ! - I think Salome likes the house . He just means you did n't put your heart into it . But that 's OK . Not everyone is good at putting their heart into things . I 'm sorry I 'm not a professional wood person . I know . We can work on it together . - You wan na help me ? - That 's a great idea . You know , I-I ... That is a great idea , but I have to ... - So we 'll get dessert then . - ( @doorbell_rings ) Yes !

It 's got , like , a dinosaur on it ? Um , I 'm very sure I see no guitar , or a dinosaur . Hey , I got a question for you . Is it OK if we put in an order for room service ? Room service ? Yeah , maybe just a couple of simple things . Maybe some ... pizzas , some bits , kinda thing . - PERRY : No , man . That shit 's expensive . - Oh , yeah . GARY : But the thing is , you know , we 're very hungry . Why did n't you eat before you came ? Because it 's a birthday party . There 's food at parties .

W-why do n't you have a seat , Perry ? Uh ... so ... in your father 's will , where he left you guys the business , he also included a little provision pertaining to your stake in the ownership . What little provision ? Basically , if I feel like you 're not pulling your weight , I have the option of buying you out of the company . - Buying me out ? - Yeah . What does that mean ? That means that you would n't work here anymore . Or receive any of the profits . Whoa , what would I do then ? And what does that mean for me ? Well , first of all , you 'd get a nice chunk of money . Oh , yeah . Yeah . Uh , and then you 'd have to find another job . What if I do n't feel like you 're pulling your weight ? - Me ? - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Well , it ... It does n't seem like that 's an option . I am pulling my weight . If I may , gentlemen , uh , actually , he did n't actually stipulate for Jake 's weight . Oh , my God . That figures . He always liked hanging out with you more anyway . - That 's not true . - I think it ... You know , it 's just ... Jake 's older . What ? He 's not older . No , I 'm younger . Oh . Sorry . I ... I thought you ... You seemed older . Got it . Yeah , we got that . You actually seemed younger , Perry , so ... No , dude , I 'm the older brother . He 's the older brother .

Hold on a second , OK ? I 'm trying to help you . That 's all I 'm trying to do . You 're going to take it like I 'm doing something personal to you , and I 'm not . I just ... I look at you , and , you know , you remind me of one of those days when it 's rainy and sunny at the same time . You know what I 'm saying ? What are you talking about ? I 'm talking about that I think you 're confused , Perry . I am not confused . I think you 're very , very , very confused . I am not confused . I like rainy sunny days . They 're weird . No , not rainy sunny days . I 'm talking about a sunny rainy day . What 's the difference ? I 'm talking about a day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's mostly sheets of rain .

Well , what am I supposed to say to Karen ? Do n't worry about Karen . I talked to Karen . She supports this . You talked to my wife about firing me ? I talked to your wife about her opinion , not about firing you . I 'm not firing you . Look , if you wan na do this ... - If you fully commit to the store ... - No , no , no . - You do n't , right ? - No , no . No , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commit to the hardware store ... No , whatever .

Uh ... in name only , at this point , [Hank] . Yeah , Poppy got kinda burned in the whole Iraq deal . That had nothing to do with it . Sure it did . Not every international studies hotshot left his department to go work on the Iraqi sewage system . Army ... not sewage system , army . Yeah , most of them just wrote op-eds . That 's why most of them still have jobs ... that pay money . [Deborah] . What ? You still get up to Palo Alto about once a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ let him keep his seminar .

Hey , baby , did n't we see that on the TV ? We made a lot of mistakes , [Hank] , but that was not one of ' em . Put simply , there never was an Iraqi army to disband . No no no , I know your argument , I read your book . The Kurds and the Shi'a would never have stood for a Sunni majority in the army and there were way too many Sunni officers to begin with , and anyway , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something else ?

Thank you for a very nice meal , may I please be excused ? No . Poppy , tell us about the time you met Eleanor Roosevelt . Oh , that was wonderful .

Yeah , the yurt in Arcosanti 's fine . It must5 be nice having two houses . A yurt is not a house , [Lindsay] . Yeah , it 's like a tipi , right ? That 's right , [Jacob] . That 's right . How was the drive ? How are the markets , little bro ? Stock markets ? Are n't you always plain ' the markets ? Um ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . How 's law school ? It 's fun . Well , it 's pretty hard , you know ? God , it is so crazy to me that you decided to do exactly the same thing that Poppy did . Same undergrad , now law school . Yeah , it is a little weird . Probably not gon na go for that post-post-doc though , huh ? No , probably not . And total bummer about Oxford . Yeah , total . I was a Rhodes Scholar finalist , did you ever know that ? Yeah , I know . Yeah , I did n't even tell them about Poppy . I changed my name and everything . That 's not true . And they flew me out to Chicago for this big fancy cocktail party . Also not true . Do n't be jealous , [Lindsay] . Do n't be lying , [Nina] . Seriously , what happened , bud ? Huh ? Poppy said you just did n't have the grades ? You told her that ? I never said that .

Not since high school . Oh , [Nina] . Yeah , she was a full-blown drunk at 16 . That was kind of embarrassing . [Nina] , that 's enough . They would find her when they went to get their Wall Street Journal in the morning . They 'd have to call Poppy and wake him . Yeah , at least I did n't date a fucking coke dealer from Oakland . Both of you , stop it . Ali was not a coke dealer . - Yes he was . No he was n't and at least I did n't get knocked up -- Do n't you dare ! Come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr . [Hank] Presley ...

You wan na play " Michael Row your Boat ? " No ! - Hey . Okay . Here , give me the guitar . Whatever for , little bro ? No , [Cypress] , you play . No , it 's [Jacob] 's turn . [Jacob] , I did n't know you played guitar . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but , uh ... Crazy , why 'd you quit ? Because Mom got upset one time , because Poppy liked when Uncle [Jacob] played guitar .

Be cool , tough guy . [sighs] [burps] Fuck . [exhales] [patio_door_opens] Uh ... [ice_clatters] relaxingIndianmusic ? [birds_singing] ? What happened to your butt , Linds ? What do you mean ? It 's gone . Thanks . No , I liked your butt . [exhales] How 'd you sleep ? Like shit . Poppy 's book room is a wretched hive of scum and villainy . That 's from Star Wars . Downward dog .

I 'd better go walk Peanut . Uh ... W- do n't you wan na hang out ? Love you . Love you . [cell_phone_vibrates] [Jacob] ? Ah , Poppy . What 's wrong ? Nothing . So ... should we go into town ? I was thinking it might not be a bad idea , why with the weather , and potentially we could get a few things -- Poppy , I need to talk to you . Why , what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course ... how much ? Oh g- oh , Poppy ... thank you so much ! You welcome . What- what 's it for ? Um ... Aah ... .. yeah ... Uh ... uh ... It 's okay , [Jacob] . You can tell me . Well um ... It 's uh- it's- there 's ... Poppy , they threw a brick through our window . They keep calling me and sending me these awful texts , I keep lying to Missy . [Jacob] , what happened ? Poppy , it was a good investment , I swear to God . Vacation property in Nicaragua , at a great price . We wet gon na call it El Paradiso . he said that the value was definitely gon na double after it got developed . The- the property was 100k , [all] I needed was a downpayment , like 20k from these loan guys , I could get the rest from the bank , the mortgage loaner bank for like 80k . What was the interest rate ? Well , it was like 10 percent a year from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interest rate from the brick-throwing loan sharks , [Jacob] ? Um ... Compound interest at 100 percent . What does that mean , compound interest at 100 percent ? I swear to god , the value was gon na double once it got developed , so , I was gon na flip it for like 200k , so ... I 'd owe the bank like 75k , which would leave me 85k . Poppy , that 's pretty good , considering that none of it was my own money -- Answer the question , [Jacob] . One thing led to another , and it never got developed , so I had to unload it for like 30k . So now , I owe the bank , uh ... What was the deal with the loan sharks , [Jacob] ? Well , like I said , uh ... it was compound interest at 100 percent . Meaning ? Well ... uh ... In my particular case ... meaning ... [stammers] It doubled every six months , uh ... The amount I owed them doubled every six months . I 'm sorry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you take this loan out ? Um ... like two years ago . So , um ... 20k doubled like 3 times , so it 's at - - 160 . Yeah , that 's right . $160,000 at present . More importantly , if I do n't pay now , they 're gon na break [both] my legs and get me kicked out of law school . And you still owe the bank ... $68,000 , as well . Which means you currently owe various people ... $228,000 . buying undeveloped vacation property in Nicaragua was a sound business investment . I , uh ... Listen , I only need $20,000 , and they said they 'd put a hold on it , and I can pay the rest off after I 've been at the firm for like a year , and ... Hey , Poppy , look at the bright side , I do n't have any student loans because you and Mom , you ... Poppy , please . 20 . I 'll cover the rest . Looking back ... Do you still consider it a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What ! ? You- you just said of course ! I know what I said . Did my mom really hit [Nina] ? What ? When [Nina] was a teenager . Dd my mom really hit her ? And that 's why she has n't been to Pasadena in so long ? Who told you that ? [Nina] , years ago . Of course she did . What ? [Nina] hit her . Really ? - Yeah . Wow . [Nina] 's grasp on reality can be a little touch and go at times . I know . We like this . Ooh ! - Whoa . Hey look ! - What ? Hey , it ' like glow in the dark . I was just thinking that ! - It is like glow in the dark ! Well , let 's see what we can do . let 's give him some buttons , shall we ? Okay . [Hank] Why do n't you help me out over here ? Alright . [overlapping_chatter] Yo , we 're doing buttons over here . what about stickin ' with the dudes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any help down there . Levi likes the ladies . I du n no . I 've heard .

Anyway , Dave is really the one person who I just ... you know ... just ' cause he was my first ... real ... boyfriend , and we had this really intense past , and ... he 's just the one person who if I were ever to get involved -- But you have been involved , for years . But TJ does n't know that . [sighing] I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's and mine . She 's ... 17 . And she 's shown up . She wanted to find her birth parents , she 's found Dave . And ... . they wan na start a life together . Good for them . Yeah .. well ... She wants to go to college , and of course Dave 's promised to pay for it and ... that means I have to find the tuition . Because if I do n't , he 'll tell TJ , and that really is the end of my marriage . [sighs] No . No ? This child is ... not your responsibility . And she certainly is not my responsibility . But ... Poppy , your dad was n't around . Leave my father out of it ! Okay .

Which she already fucked up royally in the second debate . So , no , I - I - I do n't think she can win , but I 've been completely wrong about everything , up to this point . I think her hair looks weird . Me too , yeah . I think her hair is great ! [cell_phone_vibrates] Hey . Come on , be nice . Oh ! [chuckles] Who 's that ? Mm , um ...

You 're so crazy . Oh , I 'm sorry , my bad . Did you wan na talk about your mother some more ? Okay . First Poppy cheated on her , then he said h was sorry , then you did n't do anything . Now she 's gone , and we 're done with that . Can we please talk about the money ? Now ... about the money issue . You know , I will never forget the day you guys told me you were getting separated . I must have been about Levi 's age , so , what ... 9 ? And [Nina] must have been about 6 ? And uh ... We were downstairs watching TV ... which we used to do a lot of , ' cause Poppy was never around . And we were watching the Miss Teen USA pageant . And I 'll never forget , whoever the host was was like ... " And the winner is ... " and suddenly Mom came in and ... told us we had to go upstairs , and we wed like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ she was like , " Upstairs , now . " And so , we went upstairs and ... Mom was sitting on one of those ... low , white ... wooden stools . And so was Poppy . And ... then they just ... said ... " We 've been talking ... and we 've decided Poppy 's not gon na live here anymore . " Did she say why ? I think there 'd been this ... massive fight , like two days earlier , and ... Mom had caught Poppy with one of his students again ... I du n no , who was that , Poppy ? I honestly do n't remember . That 's nice of you . Anyway , they tell us this ... you know , big ... thing . And me and [Nina] were like ... " Um ... okay ... Can we go back downstairs and watch Miss Teen USA now ? " ' Cause , you know , you had to see it live , or whatever . It was just so fuckin ' awful . Do you remember that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from me ? Well ... You apologized , so I guess that 's a start . I feel like I 've spent the last 30 years apologizing . I feel like you and I have different definitions of the word apologizing . You could stand up to your wife , for one thing . That 's not fair . - Oh , none of it 's fair . Yeah , but it 's not her fault . She 's just trying her best . Jesus , you people and your trying your best . You tried your best in Iraq , did n't you ? And how 'd that work out for you ? I do n't think the Iraq analogy pertains to this situation here , [Nina] . You do n't get to say that , I do ! I 'm the one that gets to be the recipient of [all] your shitty failed trying ! So I can use whatever analogy I want ! Now , who are you giving the money to ? Wait . - Who ? [Nina] . - Who ? There is n't any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I went to Iraq . Stanford fired me . Then they black-balled me . Then the market crashed . I do n't have any money for any of you . I 'm sorry . Wow . How are we just hearing about this now ? Because it 's none of your business . Really ? I did n't expect to be asked for $300,000 over Thanksgiving weekend , [Nina] , darling . Who 's paying for this house , then ? I bought it cheap from a friend of mine 30 years ago . What about that trip to France you and [Deborah] took ? Her mother paid for that . [Jacob_cries] Oh it's- it 's okay , [Jacob] . I can make a few calls , you wo n't get kicked out of law school . They already kicked me out of law school . They found out about the money weeks ago . I got expelled . I 'm totally fucked . I 've been trying to tell you [all] weekend . I 'm sorry . What am I gon na tell TJ ? Well , this just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . [Nina] , don't . - Oh , God . Let her go . No ! Get off of me . Get off of me ! Do n't call . W - [Nina] , hold on ! Just let her go , she 's fucking crazy ! [Nina] . [Nina] , wait ! Whatcha doin ' , little bro ? I 'm saving our family . - Oh , really ? I think you should be more worried about the whole $228,000 in debt thing , right about now . No , I 'm saving our family . [laughs] Jesus , have you been practicing that in front of the mirror ? No ... yes . Aw , [Jacob] ... Never lose your confidence , little buddy . Never lose that insane confidence your insane mother gave you with her insane love . It 'll really serve you well . Stop shitting on my mom , okay ? That 's the first thing . Okay , you do n't get to do that , She 's not your mom . She 's my mom . Oh believe me , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... you need to be nicer . Oh yeah ? - Yeah ! Well you need to call me more often , you little shit . You need to say thank you when I send you presents You need to take the hint when I invite you to Arizona like 3 times in one phone conversation , and not say , " Er , um , I 've got this thing , I 'm really busy . " But instead say , " Yes , I love you . I 'll be there tomorrow , I just bought my plane ticket . " You need to try harder ! I call you every Christmas . Oh congratu-fucking-lations , just like the rest of you cunts . You do just enough so that I look crazy and so the rest of you look sane , and so you get to say , " Oh , there goes crazy [Nina] ! There goes La Ni ? a , We tried , ya know ? We always try , but I guess nothing ever works out with that ungrateful little shit , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ arm ! Your mother smacked me in the face when I was 16 ! Okay , well get over it ! Oh my God , you have no idea how bad I want to hit you right now ! Oh yeah ? Well then do it . No one else ever did , clearly . Say you 're sorry for last night . No ! - Yes ! Okay , well then just slap me or something . Just do something ! - No ! Yes ! Come on ! - [Jacob] . Do it ! Oh God . Listen , I 'm sorry , okay ? - I 'm sorry . It 's just hard because Poppy always loved you more , you know . That 's not true . Can I come home for Christmas , Poppy ? What ? Poppy , can I come home for Christmas ? [Nina] , you just beat up our dad , after you beat up his wife , what are you thinking ? Poppy ... Can I ? I 'll have to ask [Deborah] . You think [Deborah] 's gon na @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no , we 're not . I mean with the money . No . We 'll figure something out . I still have a few friends in Palo Alto . They could potentially help - - [cries] [Poppy_sobs] I 'm sorry , Poppy . Nice one . - That 's my best . Just play , just play . Here . That 's good guac . This is really good guac . I do n't have anything to do here . Is that my guacamole ? Mm ... it was just sitting there . I ... asked [Nina] down for Christmas , because I thought maybe -- As a joke , I assume . Was this before or after you told her you do n't have any money to solve [all] her problems ? After . you shut the fuck up in my house . Mmm . So ... I guess you guys are screwed , huh ? I mean , what are you gon na do ? Rob a bank ? Win the lottery ? Maybe your mom could spot us , Deb . That seems unlikely , [Hank] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm sorry . Tough . [Nina] does n't have to come down for Christmas . do you really think that 's what I 'm upset about ? No , no , I know it 's the other thing too , but I -- You 're unbelievable . Darling . - Stop , Jim . Wait , Mom ! You 're really leaving ? Your father cheated on me , and then he chose his horrible daughter over me . Yeah , I 'm really leaving . No you ... you ca n't . Yeah , I can . Poppy , do something . I think he already did , [Jacob] . No , seriously . Saving your family can be tough , huh , little bro ? Do n't worry , happened to us . What 's wrong with you ? Answer him . I fucked up . I fuck up sometimes , I 'm sorry . [scoffs] Geez . Wait , no , Mom , you need to stay , okay ? Everything will be fine . You know , really , I mean ... Everyone can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live here anymore . You 're not a child . Why does this matter to you ? ' Cause you 're my mom ! So you ca n't leave ! This is- we need to figure thous out , okay ? Everyone can behave , everyone can get along , we 'll be fine ! Life does n't work that way , [Jacob] . I 'm sorry . I 'm sorry too , [Deborah] . Well saying you 're sorry does n't make it okay . Well sometimes it does , I mean ... it 's kind of like saying at least you tried . [Deborah] . You know , you make really good guacamole . Thanks , [Nina] . That 's my beer you 're drinking . Actually , I think I do kind of live here now . [coughs] Did I just screw up your life , Poppy ? I screwed up my own life . **27;3903;TOOLONG ? ?

My client is highly regarded in the Korean community . A line of people waiting to testify on his behalf will be a testament to that . And after they find out what he did to that little girl ? All you have is the allegations of a fourteen year old girl . Thirteen . She 's thirteen . You pay him ? Whatever the age is , the allegations are totally false . Imitation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meat .

Now , I know what crab meat tastes like . So it pisses me off . When they try to pass that fake white shit of and expect me to enjoy it . As interesting as you may find yourself , I can assure you that no one else does . You walk like you care about Korea town , you even talk a good game . You 're imitation crab meat . You are a fake piece of white shit . With a red line down your back . You help young girls come to this country with hopes of helping their poor families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harm to your community than the fucking communism in the north ever could . Here it is , here 's the bill of shit . I want him . Okay . Detective . What 's going on ? Oh . Who 's asking ? You , or your boyfriend ? I 'm asking .

What , you think I 'll let a pedophile back out on the street ? Well , I would never let that asshole back out there , he sickens me .

Santa Ynez valley , wine country . And we found this inside . What is it ? It 's a suicide note , Mrs . Emory . God . The confusing thing is , we have n't found a body . I do n't understand . It 's a 220 foot drop into a wooded ravine . We 've got search parties down there round the clock , but so far nothing . What are you saying ? In 44 cases , we 've found 44 bodies . It 's possible , since your husband was experiencing financial difficulties and he is a suspect in the Antelope Valley arson ... What , that he faked his suicide ? When was the last time you had contact with him ? Are you accusing me of something ? It 's just a question , ma'am . I have n't heard from him since the day he left . You do n't want to get yourself involved , in something like this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ husband , do yourself a favor , call . I need inspiration . This is how I did it with Billy Joel . Fucking Cold Spring Harbor . You wan na bounce some ideas off me ? They 're still marinating . You have n't mentioned anything . Well , it 's not exactly like we 're married . I do n't share everything with you . But there is a reason the music industry is dead . There 's no new ideas on how to sell . There 's new formats . There 's new ways for people to steal songs . But there 's no new plan to convince people that they have to have what we have . It 's a nice job , little man . Here you go . Yo , chill out , dog , I 'm gon na tip you . No habla Ingles .

You better give @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Regard , kid . You see , he 's probably gone all the way from Guatemala ... maybe El Salvador , but certainly , he 's more Mayan than European . Look at that , look at those noble features . Salt of the Earth . You have no idea what his people suffered to get here . Unlike my people , who came over in chains on a ship . Yeah , but look at you , you 're driving a big stretch limo and he 's wiping it down for you . And you 're riding in the back . Hey , it 's Darwin at work . Young man , I do n't know what it is , I do n't know the answer , but you 've got something . You clearly need to come with us . Uh , no habla Ingles . What are you doing ? You know how you 're always want answers and you 're always breaking my balls ... Paco here has the smarts enough to keep his mouth shut . Here 's five big ones , buddy . For @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not gon na try to fuck you , man . We 're in the music business . Come on . This is a good thing for you . Could n't have picked a bridge over water ? You have no idea what happened . Maybe his body is stuck in a tree somewhere , or , carried off by a wild animal . He could n't even burn down his own housing development . The man fails at every single thing he sets his mind to . He got you . I was pregnant . Was n't that hard . You never believed in him . I mean , look at ... You do n't even believe he 's dead . I need to end this . I need to get out , start over , find some kind of life for myself . What would you do ? Get a job . Sell the house . The house is a mess , nobody 's gon na buy it like this . I 'll fix it up . I 'll sell it for half price in Brentwood . Trust me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started this was to take care of dad . Right . And , now that I 'm not gon na be here , I need you to take care of him . No . No way . What , I ca n't be around him anymore . What , and you 're just realizing this ? No ! Neal would never let us move him into the house . No . Do you know what he said to me this morning ? He told me that his life is a failure because he never taught me how to be happy . Well , he did n't mean that . I was a good daughter , a dutiful wife and now I 'm alone . committed suicide or faked his death to get away from me . And my father tells me his life is meaningless because I do n't know how to be happy . I got ta figure out how to live with all that . Either escape , like Peter did . Or figure out what I should 've been doing all along . Chris , what Peter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have to take care of myself . And Megan . We arrested Park . He 's in our custody right now . Good . Yeah , but it feels like this case has a potential to fall apart . Oh . He molested a little girl who 's already identified him . We need to throw everything we can at him . Which is why I want you to come down and make a statement to ensure he gets locked up . You told me the girl would be enough . I ca n't have this fall back on my family . My grandmother is sick , my father has a business . He 's too easy to find . Work with me on this and I 'll make sure that they get into protective custody . They ca n't leave Korea town . And now they ca n't live there . You told me you wanted justice for this little girl . - I do . So grow some hair on your Asian balls and man up for Christ 's sake . Fuck you ! Look , your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little girls ' hospital room . And your family is already in danger . And so is Ji Sun . You need to follow through with this . That 's the only way to guarantee that Park goes away and that everyone stays safe . What 's up ? The meeting 's not for a few hours . Yeah , I 'm just checking in . Concerned about my dad . He really ca n't afford another embarrassment . No , it 's all good , he 's he 's got a lot of ideas . So , what are you guys doing ? Buying fruit . So he has nothing . I 'm surprised you 're not at a titty bar . You know what would be so helpful ? If you could call me every hour , keep me posted . Where he goes , who he meets with , what they say . We really need to make sure he stays focused . You 're asking me to snitch , Ben 's my boy , I ca n't do that . Can you honestly tell me you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ben 's promise of one ? But hey , if you feel totally secure in Ben 's hands , then by all means , dump all your eggs in that basket and do n't answer my calls . Alright , well , what do you suggest ? Give him a plum cod . He loves those . You ready to go ? We got ta pull our shit together , man . You call this a peach , huh ? Look , here , try this . Ah , a plum cod . A genetic abomination . Should n't you be calling like , Madonna or something ? Does she like fruit ? No , I mean the relationships that you have , man . Can you call favors in ? Now this is fucking embarrassing . Do n't you see what 's happening here ? Jules is setting you up . Making sure you make an ass of yourself in front of the board , so they can fire you and then her hands are clean . Yeah , I see that . Uhuh . When in doubt , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , let 's go look at some titties . Uh , hemorrhage ? - Yeah . Is that it ? One more thing . What do you know about this ? Anything . What does this have to do with the molestations case ? It was part of it . I 'm just trying to find out if you 've ever seen these two guys together . Sorry , detective . Are you sure ? Hey , I 'm just fucking with you . You do know these two guys though , right ? That 's Mr . Park and he 's a detective in this division . And you do n't know his name ? My bad . I 'm sorry I kept you longer than officer Arcel promised , I 'm just ... having a hard time dealing with the fact , that ... you 've never seen these two guys together , as much as you used to run the streets of K-town .

Oh , come on . You got ta be ... - Do n't argue . Look at me . Just listen . Let her know she 's been heard . That 's what women want . Now get out . What are you talking about , get back here .

This room is for interrogations , you can use the ... .. room to figure out the word for 10 across , huh . What are you doing here ? With detective Finet ? His client wants to make a statement . It 's some case regarding Mr . Park . Something about a girl . I thought you represented Mr . Park . I represent many people in the Korean community , detective . Hey , detective , do you mind if I sit in on this interrogation ? Mind ? I actually prefer it , detective . Come on in . You Kenny Battaglia ? Yeah , you doctor Zack ? No , I 'm detective Gill . We need to take you into custody . For what ? Making criminal threats , unlawful detention . Unlawful det ... Kidnapping ? Yeah .

And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ joke . The girl got it wrong ? Does n't know who raped her ? It gives more than reasonable doubt to the Park case . Yeah . Take him to lockup .

This is n't about solving shit ! - It 's my job . You fucked my case ! If you were a better detective , you would 've solved it yourself ! I 've got a witness against Park . Oh , please , a thirteen year old abused girl who does n't speak English ? You think this is over , do n't you , huh ? - Hey , why do n't you hit the bar , pal ?

Charmed Season 7 Episode 09 " There 's something about Leo " Transcript : Intrepid . Synchro : Greatouille . Our powers are not meant to be used for personal reasons , Leo . You know that . I know . I did n't mean to . It just happened . Yes , because you wanted it to happen . You must be more careful in the future , learn to control your emotions . Control is the first discipline of an Avatar . Otherwise , our powers can become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . What do you mean ? Reversing time the way you did requires great power . It drains the Collective , and it puts us at risk . And we must remain at full strength if we are to defeat the forces of evil , if we are to implement the change . I get that , but Piper 's my wife . She knows something 's up . I ca n't keep lying to her . We understand your position , Leo ... But to tell her outright might cause her to overreact and mistakenly view us as a threat . As might her sisters as well . They must come to the truth in their own time and in their own way , just as you did . What if they do n't ? What if Piper never sees the future you promised ? You must help her to see it , Leo . You must gently guide her to it . This is the burden that you took upon becoming an Avatar . I 'm not just an Avatar . I 'm a Husband , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that back . And you will get it back , Leo . You will , once we have ended this perpetual battle between good and evil , once we have brought forth a better way . Okay , it 's almost dawn , and nothing 's happening . Can we go home and go to sleep now ? Shh . Just stay focused . Right , focused . Maybe you drew the pentagram wrong . I know how to draw a pentagram , thank you . Yeah , but did you use a felt marker ? The thickness of the tip led us astray a couple of blocks , huh ? We are not going home . What 's the matter with you guys ? Do you wan na save an innocent or not ? Of course we do . It 's just , uh ... What ? It 's just what ? Now you 're not telling me something ? Leo 's what . What ? We just think that you may have been so eager to avoid Leo that you miscalculated the demon attack . What she said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I may be avoiding Leo , but that does not mean I am wrong about this . Why ? Why are you so upset with him ? He 's been an Angel lately . Yeah , well , that 's the problem . He 's been too perfect , even for him , and I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop . Why do n't you just talk to him about it ? I have , about a dozen times , and he just thinks I 'm crazy or something , which is why I am channeling my frustration into something useful . I just want this demon to attack soon , so I can make my breakfast date with Kyle . Yeah , see , breakfast is not a date . Dinner 's a date . Lunch is definitely maybe a date . Breakfast ? Always just breakfast . As long as he does n't talk about the Avatars , it can be breakfast , lunch , or dinner , and I will consider it a date . Who is calling you at this hour ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? We 're about to find out . Get the dye . They have to become visible to attack . Let 's go . Who the hell are you ? It wo n't matter . Kill them . Throw the dye ! Energy ball ! Heads up , guys . Well , that did n't go too well . They were a lot more powerful than I thought . He 's still alive . Okay , let 's get him to magic school , and we 'll find out who they are . And make more potions . The innocent has been marked and territory staked . Soon , every mortal within the pen will be ours alone to prey upon . But the innocent lives . Our rivals - Can no more easily kill than we can ... now that The Charmed Ones are protecting him . Then how is the territory staked ? As long as he lives , the Sokols could still try to claim it for themselves . And we want them to try ... or , at least , make it look like they did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Right . So we 'll put them on our rivals ' trail ... by making them think the Sokols attacked them . So , this place is great . Yeah ? Y-you sure ? I mean , you - - you like the place ? Well , I 've never had breakfast here , but I 'm ... I 'm sure it 's terrific . I guess I should 've asked you out to dinner , huh ? It 's fine . I 'm up this early anyway . Well , you know , I figured since we got the first kiss out of the way and everything ... Out of the way ? Sorry . I did n't mean that . I did not mean that . I ... I ... I just , you know , I 'm rusty . All Avatars all the time ? Yeah , something like that . It 's just that I 've been chasing them for so long , you know ? It has n't left much time for a social life . Well , um , maybe it 's time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yes , I think . It 's just that they 're so close , Paige . I mean , I know it , you know ? I-I can feel it . But ... you promised . You 're right . You 're right . That 's it . No more Avatar talk , I swear . Good . That 's a good start . What ? It 's , uh - - it 's vibrating . It just tickles a little , that 's all . It 's off . I promise . No more distractions . That 's my emergency line . I got ta take this . Sorry . Brody . What ? All right , as soon as you get those numbers , you call me , all right ? Intel just detected another unusual power spike in the area . Paige , this could mean some serious Avatar activity . Do n't you know what this means ? Yeah ... yeah , I do . It means that you eat alone . I 'm sorry . Paige , come on . Idiot ! You know , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much you could get done . I mean , already today , I 've made demon dye . I 've saved an innocent . I e-mailed in my column , plucked my eyebrows If it was n't for sleep deprivation , I would be okay . What about the demons ? Yeah , I could n't find anything in the book to help identify them . But I did get to read up on the family history . Did you know that Beatrice Warren only had one leg ? What is this ? You making spaghetti sauce ? No . That 's , uh , demon blood . I got it from the salvage yard . I was gon na use it to scry for them after I make the vanquishing potion . Wow . Jacklebeet . So , exactly which state are you trying to blow off the map ? I do n't wan na take any chances . We need two kitchens . Do you know where the beetle toe is ? I think it 's up in the attic . Boy , when you 're avoiding something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? I seem to remember someone doing some avoiding a little while back . Yeah , if you 're talking about Leslie , you 're absolutely right . But my big sister gave me some advice that I 'm gon na give back to you . Stop dodging . Just talk to Leo . On the subject of dodging , who called this morning ? Yeah . See , your " I 'm covering something " look has n't worked since the sixth grade , so spill . Ok , but you ca n't tell Paige , ' cause I do n't want her to get all paranoid . Why would she get all paranoid ? Darryl actually thinks Brody had something to do with Sheridan 's disappearance . Yeah . That 's why I 'm keeping it low-key . Darryl 's on his way over . We 're gon na talk about it while Paige is on her date . Oh , he 's talking to us again ? Kind of . Baby steps . I 'll be in the attic . Well , go talk to her , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this a good time to talk ? Uh , actually , yeah . Paige is out on a date . What did you find out ? Nothing . Nothing . Okay , well , nothing is good , right ? No . I mean , I ca n't find anything . It 's like Sheridan 's disappeared off the face of the earth . What are you saying ? I think that maybe Brody did something to make Sheridan disappear ... Something bad , maybe . No . I do n't believe that . That 's because you do n't want to believe that . Brody may have saved your butts ... I get that ... but if he did something to hurt Sheridan ... wrong is wrong . Okay . Well , maybe I can get a premonition and see where she is . No . No magic . I told you . I 've done some soul-searching . I wan na help again , but I do n't wan na go there anymore . Darryl , you got ta get over this . I mean , really , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of good , can it ? Hey , Paige . Hey , Darryl . Uh , I thought you were on your date . Yeah . So did I . Look , um ... tell Piper I said hello , okay ? Take care . Take care . We 're friends again ? Yeah . Weird . Bygones . Leo , please , this is not the time or place . I just want my family back , Piper . I just want you back . I do n't wan na talk about this right now . Why not ? ! Because this is a little dicey here , okay ? I know that , and that 's why we need to talk . No , not that , this . If I make one mistake , I can blow up the entire house , okay ? So , this is a bad time . I just wish you 'd trust me . Yeah , well , maybe you should try telling me the truth . This is so frustrating . This ca n't keep happening , Leo . We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I ca n't keep doing this . You must keep up pretenses . There 's no other way . There is another way . I could tell her the truth . - Leo ... - You do n't understand . I know Piper . She does n't wan na live like this any more than I do . She hates hunting demons all the time . She wants nothing but the best for herself , for her family , for all of us . She can handle the truth . I know she can . But if she ca n't , if she 's not open to our way , it would risk everything we hope to achieve , everything we covet . And cause her to lose perspective in the process , ignore what should n't be ignored . Which would put her at risk as well . There 's too much at stake , Leo . She can handle it . He needs to see for himself . But what of the risk ? It 's no greater than that of him ... tapping into the collective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goes wrong , everything may be lost . Our powers are not inexhaustible . What is the matter ? I , uh -- I need to tell you something . I 'm listening . Well , the reason I know the demons are n't working with the Avatars is ... is because I 'm an Avatar . What ? Oh , my god . Piper ? No ! You stay away from me . What happened ? - Let me help . - Do n't ! Piper , please . Can someone please just tell us what happened ? The potion blew up , and , uh , Leo 's an Avatar . What ? ! What ? Oh , you know , the gathering storm , looming threat , that would be Leo . We 're not a threat . We 're trying to save the world from itself . Wait ... did he just say " we " ? I think he just said " we . " You know , you wanted the truth , and I told you . They said you had to come to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it . Handle what , that you 're what everybody is afraid of , even the Elders ? They 're afraid because they do n't understand . They ca n't understand . The Avatars are beyond Good and Evil . They 're everything we 've been searching for , a life without demons . Okay , he 's cracked . Absolutely . No . I have never been more clear about anything in my life . Piper , I beg you not to be closed to this . It 's everything we 've been searching for , everything we wanted , I promise . I think you need to take the boys to Magic School . - But ... - Please . I need time to think about all of this . Are you sure you can trust him ? I can trust my husband with our children . Now , please , go . Do you think he 's telling the truth ? It would be a really stupid lie if he was n't , do n't you think ? Sorry . It 's okay . What are you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we have a demon to vanquish first and an innocent to protect , so ... Yeah , but - Look , just remake the potion for me , and I 'll go get cleaned up , and be careful of the beetletoe . Okay , we have bigger things to worry about than potions . I agree . We have to save Leo . Yeah . We 're gon na have to ask for Kyle 's help . Now what ? Put them on . Why ? Because we 're going to attack The Charmed Ones next . Malvoc , that 's suicide . Only if we die , but I only plan to fight long enough for them to identify us , as Sokols . Then our enemies becomes their enemies . Fine . They 'll vanquish them , but others will still come to challenge us for the territory . They wo n't be able to after we kill the innocent . Those ancient rules are etched in ... brimstone . And after they vanquish our rivals , they 'll think the threat to the innocent has passed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these . Something 's happened , Leo . Look , I do n't have time for this . I have to get back to Pip -- We 've detected a power surge , a time shift . That could only mean one thing . The Avatars are making their move . How do you know it 's them ? Because no demon has this kind of power , not since the Source . So ... What do you want from me ? We want you to alert The Charmed Ones . We expect that the Avatars will be coming after them first . What is it ? Nothing . I just do n't know how much we know about ' em , that 's all . We know they 're a threat . Why , because they have power ? Yes . The kind of power that in the wrong hands could be a danger to us all . Ok , so , are we a threat ? I 'm sorry . Elders . I mean , we have a great power , but we 're only a threat to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that we do n't know enough about them to fear them . How do we know they 're not a benevolent power I mean , who are we to judge them before even meeting them ? If they were benevolent , they would n't lurk , insidiously waiting to make their move . They would show themselves . This is no time to lose your faith in all that we 're about , Leo , despite all that 's happened in the past . We need you on our side . Have you seen Phoebe and Paige ? Are n't they upstairs making potions ? No . How are the boys ? They 're fine . Miss Donovan 's with them . And the innocent ? Sleeping , still under the effects of the potions . How are you ? How am I ? I mean , with all this . I do n't know . I have questions . Well , you can ask me . I can answer them now . What are they exactly ? Or should I say , what are you exactly ? I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who wants nothing but the best for his family . And the Avatars are gon na give us that how ? By using their powers ... our powers ... to change what has always been , to remake what is . That sounds like a load of crap . I know it does , but it 's not . You know , for all we know , they 're exactly like everything else we 've been fighting . They wan na end everything we 've been fighting against , put an end to the struggle once and for all . That 's impossible . I know . I used to think it was , too , but now I know it 's not . They wan na make the world better for everybody . And those floating heads that tormented you , they made your life better ? That was just a way to ... get my attention , make me open to a new idea . Leo ... Piper . Think about it . A demon-free world ? It 's everything we always dreamed about . Do n't you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 've been through ? Just a graze . They really want that innocent . I just wish I knew why . There 'll be more of them . Yeah , well , at least we have a way to find them now . I do n't mean just them , Piper . I mean demons . And they 'll just keep coming back , over and over , just like they always have , unless we let the Avatars stop it ... Forever . Oh , Paige . I was , uh ... Okay . I 'm sorry about breakfast . Ok , I did n't handle it well . And ... and , look , I know what you 're gon na say . I 'm obsessed about the Avatars . I know . That 's not it ! It 's just that -- Look , it 's not gon na happen again . All right ? I promise . It 's not that ! Leo 's an Avatar ! He told us this morning . What ? How ? We do n't know . He ... he did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on us this morning . We do n't know exactly what it means . Where are you going ? Parking sucks in this city ! How 's he taking it ? Hello ? It 's Darryl . I 'm stumped . Maybe you could use a little hocus-pocus to find out what Brody did with Sheridan . Ok , uh , but now 's not really a good time , so can I call you back in a little bit ? All right . Bye . What are you looking for ? This . Does he know where the Others are ? " Others " who ? The other Avatars ! No . He did n't say . Why ? What is that ? It 's a potion . For what ? For killing Avatars . Where is he ? Kyle , would you stop , please ? We are not gon na let you kill Leo . You do n't understand . He 's an Avatar now . No , he 's actually our brother-in-law . How can you be so sure the potion 's even gon na work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's why . One potion . That 's all you have . You can not get even with them all . Oh , the hell I ca n't . Their powers are all tied together . You kill one of them , it weakens them all . They become vulnerable . This is ridiculous ! Leo did not kill your parents ! If he 's one of them , he did . He just became one of them ! Look , we did n't come to you so you can kill Leo . We came to you to help us get rid of them . This is the only way to get rid of them . When my parents uncovered this , they did n't just discover a potion . They discovered a battle that happened five thousand years ago over our very future . They fought the Avatars then , and we got ta fight ' em now . What happened in here ? Piper ? Upstairs ! At least we know she 's okay . Well , looks like the demons did n't wait for us to go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you know the Avatars did n't do it , huh ? You know , he 'll kill you first . You wo n't even be able to get that bottle out of your hand . We 'll see . Look , I get that this is about your parents . I do , really . Yes ! It is about my parents , and , no , you do n't get it . The hell I do n't . My parents were killed , too , remember ? Paige , my parents were murdered . Look ... Leo is not the bad guy here . For all we know , he was ... he was brainwashed or possessed or something . Just , please , give us a minute . Just wait down here . Please ? Just do n't let him go , all right ? I 've spent twenty years looking for the Avatars . I 'm not about to lose them now . Piper , what happened ? Are you okay ? No thanks to you . What is that supposed to mean ? What it means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potion when we were ambushed , a vanquishing potion that you were supposed to make , by the way . Where the hell were you ? I was at Kyle 's . What were you doing there ? Frankly ? Trying to save you . Trying to save me . I do n't need saving . I know what I 'm doing . Do you know Kyle 's parents were killed by the Avatars ? That 's impossible . It goes against everything they believe in . Well , you 're gon na have to come up with a better argument than that if you go downstairs . Why is that ? He 's downstairs ? Why is he downstairs ? You do n't wan na know . He thinks you 're a threat , Leo , to all of us . Well , he 's wrong . How do you know ? Because ! Look , I know this is a shock to everyone , but he did n't have to tell us the truth . He would n't have if it was a bad thing . Piper , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being bad . Even the Elders think so . Because they do n't understand . So , what , we 're just supposed to take your word for it ? How do we know you 're not possessed or something right now ? Come on . No , Leo , I 'm serious ! How do we know ? Because they have n't threatened anything we believe in ! It 's all good . We at least need to think about it . Since when did you jump on this Avatar train ? When I started thinking about what my kids ' lives would be like fighting the battles we 've been fighting our entire lives . But it 's what we do . It 's what we were born to do . That does not mean we have to die doing it . Yeah , maybe you should try to talk to Kyle , hear his side of the story . I do n't need to . I need to vanquish demons again . Now what ? How is it you 're the only one who still lives ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do n't know what happened to them ! Something ... is not right ! Why would Malvoc attack only to retreat ? How would that help him get to the innocent ? Lose something ? What was that ? All part of the package . That was a lot of power . Yeah , but it 's used wisely . See , the Avatars could destroy us or force us to change , but they do n't . Is n't that enough reason to trust them ? How could you let him go ? How could you let the Avatar go ? Okay , he 's still Leo , so would you stop referring to him as " The Avatar , " please ? All right , we got ta fix this , and we got ta fix it fast . Now , where did he go ? I do n't know . He orbed out with Piper . But how do you know he did n't go to alert the others ? How are we supposed to stop them ? He did n't . I promise . How do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure ? I can not believe you guys let him get away ! Okay . Something is wrong . He 's not acting like himself . I think you need to orb that potion away from him before he does something stupid . What if he flips out ? I think he already has flipped out , Pai -- What did you do ? ! It 's just a tranq . She 'll be fine . What are you doing ? I 'm killing an Avatar , and nobody 's gon na stop me . He should wake up in a couple minutes . Thanks , Piper . For ? For believing in me . I always have . I always will . It 's the only way -- I know . Thanks for helping . What just happened ? We vanquished them ! No , we did n't . Yeah , we did . No , we vanquished the wrong ones . He had different markings . What do you mean ? We were tricked . Yeah , well , we would n't have been if Paige and Phoebe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paige ? She 's fine . You and I are gon na have a little chat . Let 's just take a deep breath here . We can talk this out . Leo ... I do n't want to hurt her , but I will if I have to . Your kind is responsible for a nightmare that wo n't go away , for all those nights waking up in a sweat begging that the flashbacks were just a dream . Kyle , please . It 's not a dream , though , is it , Leo ? You Avatars are as real as the air that we breathe and just as vacant . My parents were viciously murdered by them . So if I were you , Leo , I 'd do what I say . The Avatars could n't have killed your parents , Kyle . They believe in peace . I 'm gon na give you three seconds to summon one of your buddies here , so I can kill them . If you do n't , I 'm gon na kill you . I ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Kyle . Two ... Leo ! Three ! No ! Leo ? Piper , was n't supposed to happen like this . No , it 's okay . It 's okay . Not him , please . Leo ? Leo , come on . I do n't understand . How did this happen ? The potion is real , Leo . It kills Avatars . The Collective weakens with every last breath you take . We told you , the truth must come to them in their own time , not yours . But , Piper , she ... Understood , yes , but the others were not able to , and so we became the enemy out of fear and ignorance . And an innocent was lost because of it . Everything was lost . I was just trying to make things right with Piper . Of course . But you 've learned , and now you can save yourself . You have it in you to rewind time to just before you told Piper the truth , if you hurry . If we all hurry . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's happened has taken a great toll on our power . As it is , we may not have enough to implement our plan . To rid the world of demons , to end the duality requires all that we had . But if the sisters come to the truth , wo n't their powers add to the collective ? Yes , but it may not be enough . You must not try this ever again , Leo . You can never tell Piper about us , not until she 's truly ready . Leo , please , this is not the time or place , okay ? I do n't want to get into this right now . This is a little dicey . Okay . Thank you . You 're distracted . Please , do n't tell me how to demon hunt . I 'm not . I did n't mean to . Let 's just focus on getting the demons . Not too much beetletoe . You do n't want to blow up the place , do you ? No . Why are you being so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I guess I just realized I ca n't force things on you . If you 're gon na trust me , you 're gon na come to it in your own time . Hmm . There may be hope for you yet . Bottle up the potions . I think I know where the demons are gon na attack next . Now ! That was easy . Wait . All right . Now all we have to do is get rid of the other gang and we can bring the innocent back . All right , I give up . How did you figure all this out ? You do n't want to know , believe me . What ? Nothing . Just , uh , glad you gave me another shot , that 's all . You did n't think I would ? Well , I did n't hear from you after I botched breakfast . Well , breakfast is n't really a date anyway , right ? And dinner , much better . And dessert ? Dessert , too . Dessert is good . You know , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Any other secrets I should know about you ? Other than my crazed obsession with Avatars ... Oh , you 're not so crazed . No ? Wait till I meet one . Forget that . Let 's , uh , rewind , and you can ask me the secrets question again , okay ? Do you , Kyle Brody , have any secrets ? No . They asleep ? Yeah . Finally . Piper ? Look , I know you think there 's something I have n't been telling you . Leo , not now . Just hear me out . There actually is something I 'm not telling you , but not because I do n't want to . It 's because I ca n't . What do you mean you ca n't ? The Elders wo n't let you ? Well , I ca n't even tell you that . I can tell you you 're gon na find out soon . You 're gon na be okay with it . Oh , yeah ? How do you know ? I know you .

Hey , Deb , you okay ? No , I could n't get comfortable sleeping last night . And you know what ? It 's all your fault . That 's right . How come you had to torture Ray at Nonny Barone 's ? ? ? What do you mean ? ? ? You know , when you were kids and you slept on the pull ? ? out couch together . We never slept on a pull ? ? out couch together . Yes , you did . At Nonny Barone 's little apartment in Yonkers . Apartment ? She had a nice house . We each had our own room . Oh , those were happy times . Okay ! Got some coffee and ... bag of Mom 's homemade jelly doughnuts . Liar ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that whole story , did n't you , Ray ? ! Nonny Barone , the apartment , the pull ? ? out sofa bed . You never slept with Robert , did you , Ray ? ! It was all a lie ! You liar ! ? ? lt was n't a lie ! ? ? Oh , Robert told me ! ? ? Okay , it was a lie ! ? ? Why did you lie to me ? ! I did n't want you to feel bad about me not wanting to touch you ! ? ? You do n't want Debra to touch you ? ? ? Do you mind ? That 's right , Robert ! My husband does n't want me to touch him ! Only in bed ! I , um ? ? ? ? l 'm late for show and tell . Yeah and I am nuts for wanting to cuddle with you or be anywhere near you in the first place . You need some help ! ? ? Honey , please . ? ? No , no . No more honey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ touching you in bed , Ray ? No problem . Look , I just ? ? ? ? l ca n't sleep with you on me . ? ? What do you want me to do ? ? ? Just forget it , Ray . Okay , I 'm fine . ? ? Jelly doughnut ? ? ? Yes . It 's a massacre in there . Father Hubley ? What ? Oh , Raymond . Yeah , how you doing , Father ? I was just in the neighborhood . ? ? Do you want something ? ? ? Yeah , um ... listen , I 'm having this problem and all the real shrinks are booked up for six weeks . How flattering . Yeah , so ? ? ? ? can I sit ? Not in my chair . It was kind of Debra 's idea for me to talk to somebody . We had this discussion ? ? ? ? fight ? ? ? ? not really a fight , I mean , nobody got hurt . Well , the jelly doughnuts . What did you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with her . Uh , wait a minute . ? ? You have feelings for another woman ? ? ? No , no , no . ? ? A man ? ? ? No ! This is what the wait a minute is about . I mean sleep as in asleep . Oh , you mean actually sleep . Yes ! Thank you , yeah . You know , like , she 's over here . and then ? ? ? ? then she moves over here , you know ? And I got ta move over here . And she touches me and then ? ? ? ? then she hugs and then she holds . Oh , believe me , you 're better off without it . Maybe it would help if we looked at this from Debra 's perspective . Why ? Well , to , uh ... understand why she does what she does . Why do you think she needs to touch you at night when you 're trying to sleep ? I got nothing . Uh , Raymond , I want you to close @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them . Close them ! Now . Try to imagine that you are Debra . I need new shoes ! As Debra ... what is happening in your life that makes you want to cling to your husband in bed ? Hold on , when I tap myself on this side it sounds much more muffled than this side . Open your eyes , Raymond . Open them , open them ! Sorry , sorry . Hey , where 's my wallet ? Kidding ! Raymond . Maybe Debra 's missing a sense of intimacy . She may not feel close to you during the day , so she seeks out that closeness at night . That makes sense . What do you mean ? Do you touch her during the day ? Do you kiss her ? Stroke her hair ? Hold her hand ? Okay . See , we 're married . You need to show your loved ones how much you care . It does n't end with the honeymoon , Raymond . I know . You should express your love to Debra all day long . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Now . ? ? Now ? ? ? Now , right now . Go . ? ? Go . Hurry . ? ? Okay , thank you . ? ? Yeah , go . ? ? Thank you , Father . Thank you . Bless me . Oh my God ! Frank , you 're suppose to watch the children . What does it look like I 'm doing ? ? ? That one 's about to spill something . ? ? No , Geoffrey ! Oh ! All right , Marie ? Just give me a second and I 'll help you empty those bags . Nonsense , dear . I know where things should go . Come on , guys . Let 's get out of this mess . Let 's go . Boys , come on . Let 's go . Out , out , out , out , out . There you go . Ew ! Oh , God . Hey , cranapple . Oh , you 're here . What ? I 'm just trying to say hello to Debra . Hello . So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ! You know , you could kiss me hello , Frank . How about a kiss goodbye ? Do you mind ? I 'd like to be alone with my wife . Why ? He 's trying to make up for whatever it is he did wrong . What did he do , kill somebody ? Do n't give me any ideas . Hey , you . Hold me closer , tiny dancer . What are you doing , Ray ? Nothing . Just trying to show my loved one that how much I care does not end on the honeymoon . What ? Ray , come on , what ? Are you helping me or what ? Yeah , no . I 'm just trying to , uh ? ? ? ? What ? Are you trying to make up with me ? I forgive you . Get a mop . I do n't want to mop . I just want to touch you a little . ? ? What ? ? ? No , not like that ! I 'm trying to be generally affectionate . ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ? ? No , please . Would you stop ? Sweep up the Cheerios . Okay ? All right , but I want it noted that I was trying to touch you . I 'm sure it will come up during the insanity hearing . Where is all this coming from ? From God . I guess I got ta note that too . Actually , I went to see Father Hubley . Father Hubley ? Yeah , well , you told me that I should go see somebody . And he told you to annoy me ? That seems mean . He told me I 'm your husband and I should be more affectionate . And I thought I should be .

Oh . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ l thought with everything that I did today , that ... you know , you might not need me to keep doing it at night . That 's why you were being so affectionate ?

Well ? ? ? ? l , uh ? ? ? ? well l ca n't sleep like this either . Did it ever occur to you that you could cuddle me ? Huh ? Why do n't you hold me till I fall asleep and then you can sleep any way you want ? I could do that . How long do you think it 's gon na take till you fall asleep ? It depends on how much my husband has aggravated me today . ? ? Oh , so I guess just a few seconds . ? ? Yeah . ? ? Good night . ? ? Good night . So a policeman @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make all of us feel safe . I want to thank you for having me in for show and tell . And , uh , are there any questions ? Are you a giant ? Not really .

@@5262141 Is n't it pretty out ? It 's the kind of day when you realize you 're just lucky to be alive . You 're not getting a car . What ? I was n't ... What , what ? What am I , an idiot , huh ? I-I 've seen " deep and delightful " Hillary . I 've seen " likes what I like " Hillary . And I 've seen , " Ooh , Daddy , have you been working out ? " Hillary . And none of you 's are getting a car . Aw , come on , Dad , I deserve one . Hillary , Hillary , your grades stink , you break curfew all the time , and you do n't help out at all around here . I 'm gon na give you keys to a car ? No , you 're lucky I do n't run you over with a car . Fine . But just so you know , all my other friends have a car and you 're gon na look like the worst father in the world . Wow . This ich an honor , nine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say . I-I-I have to thank my kids , um ... What the hell are their names ? Oh , who cares about them ? Tonight , it 's about me . Mom , will you tell Dad to at least think about getting me a car ? Sorry , honey , your Dad and I are a united front . Whatever he says , goes for me , too . Thank you . Yeah . You should probably get her a car . What ? Yeah , before you know it , she 'll be going off to college . And , it 'll be better for her to learn the responsibility of driving while we 're still around . I guess you 've got a point . Plus , I know of an eight-year old Volvo station wagon she could have . All we 'd have to do is buy the current owner a new car . Like , maybe a new Lexus . I knew it . I knew it . Let me explain something to you - - bottom line , nobody 's getting any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you know how bad my car makes you look ? Wow , I ... I only wrote one speech because ... I did not expect this . You hate me . You really , really hate me . - Hi , Larry . - Hey , Heidi . So , how 's your brother ? I have n't spoken to him since we broke up . You big lucky . Maybe I should break up with him . You 're funny . Mike 's not funny at all . Neither is your dad . Am I crazy , or is my brother 's ex-girlfriend flirting with me ? I better put a stop to this . So you want to go out sometime ? Like I 'm gon na get Hillary a car . Give me a break . Well , if you do I 'd have her sign one of those car contracts . What 's that ? You know , where the parents and the kids sign a contract so the kid does n't drink and drive , always wears a seatbelt - - that kind of thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rules ... just take the car away . Yeah . Those contracts could save a kid 's life . Yeah . And more importantly , for the price of a used car I could pretty much own her ass . Ha ... Joe , you 're brilliant . Where 'd you come up with that one ? They talked about it for two hours last week at that seminar on teenage insurance . Nah , I must 've missed that . You sat next to me . You do n't know what you 're talking about . Jennifer with the curly hair and hot body gave the presentation . Oh , that was a good meeting . And she has to maintain B average or we take the car away . Good one , yeah . Oh , and if she misses curfew and comes in a minute past 12:30 , we take the car away . Wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . Why 12:30 ? We 're rewriting the rules . New curfew : 11:30 . And if she does n't like it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know who I hate ? That pothead Charlie guy she 's been hanging out with . Oh , well , in that case I say we add a no-Charlie clause . Huh ? Sorry , Charlie . Now all we have to do is find her a cheap , safe used car that we can take away from her . Yeah . Hey , my Mom mentioned that she wants to sell her car . I already took her daughter off her hands . When does it end ? The War at Home : Episode 4 Psst . Dad . Dad . I need to have a man-to-man talk . All right , well , wake me up when the other man gets here . I-I-I asked out Mike 's ex-girlfriend and I feel really guilty about it . Good . You should . You ca n't go out with your brother 's ex . That 's guy code . It 's bros before hos . But Heidi 's not a ho . I 'm pretty sure that 's the reason Mike broke up with her in tirst place . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is . Okay , you do n't want to piss each other off , you know . Because then resentments build up , and one day you 're at your brother 's wedding and you 're giving a drunken toast and you think you 're being funny , but you 're actually calling your brother 's new wife a fat cow . But I really like Heidi . Larry , if there 's one thing I know about it 's how to ruin a relationship with a brother . All right , if you do n't believe me , ask your Uncle Eric . I have Uncle Eric ? Larry , I know what I 'm talking about , all right , but if you want another opinion ask your mother . Vicky . You awake ? If I let him know I 'm awake , he 'll want to have sex . Oh , crap , now I have to pee . Man , she 's a sound sleeper . Look , I know she would back me up on this , all right ? You ca n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll just hang out with you and Mom every Saturday night for the rest of my life . Whoa , whoa , whoa . You would let me finish . Look , you ca n't go out with her unless you ask Mike . All right , if he 's okay with it , fine . But if not then leave her alone . Okay . I can do that . Thanks , Dad . Anytime . And by " anytime " I mean before 10:00 p.m . during the week , 6:00 p.m . on Saturday and never on Sunday . All right , Betty , so , uh ... how much you want for it ? Dave , I do n't know anything about cars . I ... we 're family . Just make me a fair offer . Okay . How about 2500 . How about you shove it up your ( bleep ) ? I mean , that 's not even close to Blue Book . 4800 , not a penny less . No way . Forget it , no deal . Seems like a small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Plus , I 've got to get rid of it . I was involved in a small hit-and-last week . Ok . All right . $3,500 , but that 's my final offer . Fine . But we say that the car is from both of us . And tell Vicky when I come over for dinner , she ca n't make that eggplant Parmesan anymore . Unless she 's trying to kill me . Fine . Okay . Deal . And just for the record , Dave , it 's not about the money . I just want my granddaughter to be happy . Aww . Cash , right ? F-Funny story Mike , so I ran into your ex-girlfriend , Heidi , and I asked her out and she said yes . - F-Funny story , all right ? - Why are you telling me ? I do n't care . Oh , okay . Great , thanks , Mike . Thanks a lot . What ? W-What 's so funny ? Nothing . I mean , you do know that the only reason she 's going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? What ? You think that 's only reason she go out with me . No , no , no . I mean , she maybe needs citizenship or kidney . Maybe she is going out with me cause I 'm the funny brother and you 're funny at all . You 'll see . It has nothing to do with you . So , thaa-da ! Yeah , if I were you , I 'd say thaa-da for the first time she sees you with your pants off . It wo n't help the disapointment , but at least she 'll still think you 're funny , right ? What 's so important ? Sweetie , ask me for a car . No we 've play these game before , Daddy . " Ask me for a car . " " Can I have a car ? " " No . " It 's not funny , it 's just cruel . Oh , come on , sweetie - - this time , it 'll be different , I promise . Go ahead , ask me . Can I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Just kidding . I 'm just kidding you , sweetie . Look , we decided to give you your grandmother 's old car . It 's true . Oh , my God . Thank you , Grandma ! Oh , sweetie . There 's nothing I would n't do for my granddaughter . No , no , sweetie , the car is from all of us . And by all of us , I mean mostly me . Thanks , guys . You 're welcome . Bup , bup , bup , bup , bup , bup , bup . Not so fast . There 's one condition . Okay , I 'm bored . I 'll go and see about dinner . What are we having , anyway ? Eggplant Parmesan . Yum . What is it ? Ask me anything , just name it . Okay , if you want the car , you have to sign this . What 's that ? A car contract . It 's things that you 'll agree to do if you want to keep the car . Now , I 'd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , please . Bup , bup , bup , bup , bup , bup , bup ... What ? You 're in violation of the contract . What do you mean ? I have n't even gotten in the car yet . Yeah , it says very explicitly that we have final wardrobe approval , and that 's not a skirt , sweetie . That 's an invitation . Which brings us to safety . Seat belts and underwear must be worn at all times . I w ... uh , running errands ? Mm-hmm . Carpooling - - this is ridiculous . Sorry , it 's my way or no highway . Wait . Sweetie , I-I forgot to tell you , we also - - we got you your own gas credit card . Really ? Hell , no . Wow , Lifetime Achievement Award . But I 'm still so young . This is great . Mike is so wrong . Heidi totally likes me . And quite frankly , what 's not to like ? I rock . Hey , hey , h-hey , Heidi-ho . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm sorry about that ; he can be ... Forget about him . Let 's just keep watching the movie , okay , Mike ? I mean ... Larry . God , I 'm sorry . It 's okay , um , e-everyone makes mistakes , right ? Does n't mean anything . Oh , my God , Mike 's right . Heidi does n't like me . And quite frankly , what 's to like ? I suck . Okay , maybe I 'm wrong . Or maybe she 's just kissing me so that I think I 'm wrong . Oh , who cares ? I have more than one tongue in my mouth . Bye-bye , see you later . Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh . What ? M-My homework 's done , I deleted Pothead Charlie from my buddy list , and I 'm dressed like a Hasidic girl . I 'm good to go , right ?

Yeah , yeah , yeah , she 's the first Jewish slave in over 6,000 years and she works for us . We are great parents . Oh , look . The egg rolls are here .

You know , she has a car @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ d-did you ever have any trouble opening that double hook on Heidi 's bra ? Oh , wait , that 's right , you never got that far . You know what ?

Yeah , and stop fighting , you two . This is what I was afraid of , okay ? Now , you figure out a way to settle this yourself or I 'm going to settle it for you . All right . Okay , geez . Now , who wants some fried rice ? You know what ? I do n't want fried rice , because I have a girlfriend who really likes me , so I do n't want fried rice . I bet if I made out with the fried rice first , then you 'd want some . All right , stop , stop , okay ? Now , look , Heidi was Mike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

It 's this Mike and Larry thing . You know , every time those two go at it , it reminds me that , uh , you know , maybe I 'm not any better at this than my father was . That 's not true . He would have drank a fifth of scotch and passed out watching The Tonight Show . You 're up and you 're worrying about them . That 's progress . Good night . No , no , see , see , the problem was , you know , my father always used to get in the middle of everything , you know ?

All right , I 'm going to the mall with Brenda . I 'll see you later . Oh , good , I 'm sure your grandmother will enjoy seeing her . What ? Yeah , you got to drive Grandma Betty to the podiatrist . Anything else ? No . No . Oh , you know , just wait there a couple of hours while they scrape off her bunions . No . Excuse me ? I said no . No ? Well , then , I guess we could always rip up that car contract . Good , do it . Then we 're just going to have to take away the car . Fine . W-W-W-What do you mean , " Fine " ? do n't you mean " No , Daddy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away my car " ? No , take the car back . I ca n't take this anymore . I 'm out . But ... you love that car . Yeah , and what about driving all your friends around and being the cool girl with her own car ? What about Grandma 's bunions ? You can scrape them off yourself , for all I care . I am done . I 'm going to go now , but I 'll be sure to tell Pothead Charlie you guys said hello . Bye . Okay , Hillary , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , honey . Come on . Sweetheart ... I 'm sure we can work something out . Sweetie , come on , I 'm sure we can come to some sort of compromise . Come on , honey . You 're right . Let 's , let 's compromise . Yeah , let 's come to some compromise . First ... curfew . 11:30 ? Not going to work for me . Okay , I 'm sure we can bump to 12:00 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and , uh , driving Mike and Larry around and , uh , running all your errands -- I would n't hold your breath . All right , okay . All right , Hillary , y-you know what ? You know , let 's just forget about compromising and forget about this , you know , silly little contract . And you know what else you should forget about ? What ? Ever driving that car again . You 're done . Wait a minute , um , midnight curfew could work . No , no , no , no , no , it 's too late , You 're bossing us around . I 'm the bup-bup-bup guy , not you . Oh , gosh ! Good going , Moses , you just freed our only slave . Hey , um , you know what would be fun ? Uh , w-why do n't we ask each other questions ? You know , to get to know each other better , like " What 's your favorite color ? " that kind of thing . Okay . Okay , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ band ? Coldplay . Now , my turn . Are you going out with me just to make my brother jealous so you can get him back ? What ? Uh ... there 's no wrong answer , it 's just for fun . No , I 'm not . Really ? Yes , really , I have no interest in ever going out with Mike again - - ugh ! Yes ! Hey , Mike , you get down here ! I was right . Heidi said that she was n't going out with me to get you back . She was going out with me because she likes me . In your face ! Go ahead , Heidi , tell him . Uh , Larry , you did n't let me finish . Uh-oh . I 'm not interested in you anymore either . I mean , you were really funny that time at the pizza place , but lately , you just seem , I do n't know , paranoid . Paranoid ? Now that 's ridiculous . Mike put you up to this , did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me the truth . I 'm going to leave now . See you at school . Loser . Y-You 're the loser . And you know what ? Heidi was my girlfriend ...

Y-y-you 're , you 're both out of the Heidi business . You ca n't date her and you ca n't date her . All right , you 're done , I shut you down . Dad , she already ... No , I do n't care . That girl is bad news . Okay , she has an itch for the men in this family and we have to cut her off before she moves on to me , comprende ? All right , all right , fine . Okay . And another thing . No father knows what the hell to do , so if you guys wind up hating each other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my fault . On the other hand , if you end up close with a great relationship , you 're welcome . Now , if you 'll excuse me , I have a fifth of scotch to drink . Do you think that we should tell him that Heidi dumped the both of us , or let him think he helped ? I mean , I say we get out of here before he notices the fifth of scotch is missing . So , what do you want for it ? Well , I do n't know , since I , uh , gave you $3,500 for it on Wednesday , I was thinking , I do n't know , 3,500 ? For this old heap ? I 'll give you 1,500 . What ? are you crazy ? Hey , everybody knows a car loses half its value the minute it 's driven off the lot . What lot , Betty ? Th-This is my driveway . Fine , in the interest of family harmony , I 'll give you 2,000 ... in installments . Come on , Betty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this about the eggplant Parmesan , huh ? I mean , cut me some slack .

No , I could n't pay you enough . Did you hear that ? No . You did n't hear that ? You trying to change the subject ? Liam ? He 's too lazy to get out of his crib ... He just yells . You stay with Liam . Wait , wait , wait ... You take the baby , I 'll take the bat . Debbie ! Jesus ! Thought you went to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Katie Crasden 's having a party . Katie Crasden ? Two streets over . And she ... did n't invite you ? She 's only three . What happened ? Well , I was just walking past , and her dad , he ... Her dad did what ? He was laughing and playing with them , and it just ... It was n't fair . What was n't fair ? What ? Everything . So I , I , um ... I stole something . Oh ... So nobody touched you ? What ? You nearly gave me a heart attack . A bike . Race car ... Do n't hit the train ! Debbie ? Who the hell is that ? We 'll all be ... We 'll just organize . We 'll be okay . Just relax . Oh , here we go ! No traffic tickets to issue today ? No one to pull over for swinging wide on a left-hand turn ? Or is this a supportive " friend party " for a cop who shot some poor fucker was n't even armed ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ good folks ! Who are the parents ? Let 's go , people . Out of the way . Your child 's missing ? Yeah . I need your names and the name of the child . Beth and Gary Casden . - Mr . and Mrs . Casden , when is the last time you saw ... ? - Uh , Ca-Casey . It 's been about an hour ago . Okay , okay . What was he wearing ? Debbie , why would you steal a little girl ? Why would you steal a little boy and dress him like a little girl ? I wanted a girl , but there were n't any . Then back to my initial question : Why would you steal a baby at all ? I miss Ginger . What ? Who ? You took away Aunt Ginger ! Who is Aunt Ginger ? Somebody we borrowed from V 's nursing home . What ? She was my friend . We have to take him back right away , okay ? Where are his boy clothes ? I washed them . Oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the dryer ? That 's what you do after you wash something . Um , we can put him in some of Liam 's clothes . We ca n't bring a missing kid back wearing different clothes . People will say we did something to him . Something bad . Attention : This is ... Attention : This is the Chicago ... Push , then ... I know what to push . Attention ! This is the Chicago ... No . All right . What are you doing ? Mike , we have to get the information out . Then let me drive . No . Look , I 've been a cop a lot longer than you .

You remember Steve ? Yeah . How 's it going ? Uh , hear about the missing boy ? No . What happened ? Got taken from a front yard birthday party . Do they think he might have just wandered off ? We 've got everybody out looking : choppers , SWAT , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Really . We 're gon na catch the bastard that took little Casey and chop his pedophile nuts off . Less than two hours ago , a young boy , only two years of age , was abducted from his front yard . You see this ? This is what happens when the world goes crazy . People steal kids . And Rastafarians are allowed to roam free . I do n't mean real Rastafarians . I mean Rastaman Goldberg 's from Lake Forest with rich parents who get dropped off in Town Cars to go beg for money on the streets . What a load of crap . Obamacare , my ass ! What the news people do n't tell you ? They love it when kids get stolen . They 're just looking for a good story to saturate our airwaves with . And why are all the news ladies Chinese ? They should stick to what they know : railroads ... sushi ... dim sum . Frank , guess what . I made muffins using a Bundt cake batter . I did n't even need to add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? He just left for work . I 'm still here . Just getting my coat . I just had some delicious penii . What ? Little Casey up the street ? Gone missing right from his own backyard . Oh , that 's terrible . You missed Casey is a loving and kind child ... Mm ... ! It was less than that ! My husband Mark said that he saw ... I know you 're all concerned , okay ? I know . Everybody calm down ... I 'll get to all of you , okay ? Uh , you first , okay ? All right . We ... I was n't sure what size , so bought three just in case . Oh , slow down . Stop the car ! What ? Hey ! Hey ! Hey , almost new . Debbie stole a baby ... We have to figure out how to return it . - Debbie stole a baby ? - Yeah . Why ? It 's Debbie . I did not see that coming . Um ... ca n't we just give it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late now . Wow . Find Carl and get home now . Yeah . We 're looking for a missing boy named Casey . Last seen wearing a Superman costume . Two years old . Any information would be greatly appreciated . No questions asked . Why the fuck would n't we ask questions ? Because we want people to feel safe . How do you find out what happened if you do n't ask questions ? You understand the premise , right ? People feel safe , they give information , we find the kid . Safe , my ass . I 'm asking questions . Okay , yeah . I 'm gon na ask fucking questions . That 's what you do . Go ahead . Yeah , sure . You do what you want to do . Casey Casden , last seen ... wearing a Superman costume ... Kev , stop ! What 's Liam doing here ? It 's not Liam . Who the hell is this ? ! I do n't know . Fiona dropped him off . Attention , all residents . There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and wearing a Superman costume . If you 've seen this boy ... Fucking Gallaghers . When I was a kid , we could go to a birthday party and our parents would n't worry that we were gon na get stolen out of the front yard by some perv . That 's when America had values . Before Wal-Mart and Dukakis , peanut butter and jelly in one jar . You know , you 're too young to remember this , but there was a time when policemen were respected , when young men wanted to fight for their country . When you could go vote twice for Mayor Daley , down at the 11th Ward . Before some liberal pricks elected a Muslim who is n't even American ? We need to get your stories straight for the police . Why did you take the boy ? He was crying for his mom , and his mom was n't around . Did you try to find his mom ? No , he was crying and nobody cared , so I took him . You ca n't say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Fi ! You know what , Debs ? Was he inside or outside of the yard when you grabbed him ? Inside . Well , okay , so how 'd you get him out ? I waved a Snickers bar at him . Did anybody see you ? I do n't think so . We just ran . That was n't suspicious . So you were running down the street ... I used a stroller . What stroller ? Liam 's old one . The one I told you to throw out ? I fixed it . For emergencies . Open up ! Hurry ! Oh , shit . What in the hell is going on ? Is this that missing kid ? Debbie stole him . And now we have to figure out how to give him back without getting her 36 months in juvie . Why in the world would she steal ... There must be a couple hundred cops out there . I know . I 'm so sorry . Debs , will you watch him for a second ? Come with us . Casey , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? I 'm not sure what 's going on with her . Oh , maybe it 's ' cause your mom bailed and Frank 's a big drunk . Oh , what , I 'm asshole now ? She 's the one who stole a baby . All right , look , she obviously planned it . I mean , she took a stroller out of the garbage and she fixed it . All right , hey , Debbie 's still is a little kid . Worst thing that happens is she gets some help . Help ? What kind of help ? She stole a baby . She 's not crazy . She just sort of accidentally took a kid . Not if she lured him out of the yard with a candy bar . What are you suggesting ? Some kind or professional ... What , a shrink ? Gallaghers do not do therapy . We 're looking for a missing two-year-old boy ... Casey Casden . He was last seen wearing a Superman costume . If you have any information , call 911 . Lip , we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ family or Family Services is gon na have a field day . Family Services ? If they find out Frank 's moved , they 'll take the kids . Split ' em up . Remember what happened last time ? Shit . Exactly . All right , Carl , you know that pay phone that 's outside of the Kash and Grab ? Yeah . All right , I want you to get on your bike , go to the pay phone , call the police , tell them that you saw a little boy walking down Southport Avenue at 2:45 , okay ? Why should I ? Want to be in a children 's home until you 're 18 ? Group home on Union has a climbing wall . Carl ... I do n't have a bike . Wire cutter 's in the junk drawer . What ... ? Steve , Fiona , you guys have to get Debs to take that kid back . I do n't know that I can make that happen . Fiona , you have to , or else we 're all fucked . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Because we 've already told the police we do n't know anything about it . I 'm not a good liar . You can do this . I 'm not ! You always say so ! Oh , hey , you know what , Debs ? It 's been hours , and Casey 's parents are probably really worried about him . You remember that pie you wanted to make ? Let 's do that tonight . What do I have to do ? I saw a little boy walking down Southport Avenue at , like , 2:45 . 2:45 ? Yeah , 2:45 ! Asshole . Got a sighting . Kid saw the boy walking down Southport . DEBBIE : I was walking up Southport Avenue when I saw little Casey . Nah ... You did n't know his name . A little boy . Yeah . All alone . All alone ... and crying . I asked her where her mom went . Not her . Oh , um , I asked him where his mom was . And she did n't know . He seemed upset , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You 're doing great . All right , Veronica , I want you to go to the cleaners , ask Mrs . Bergdoll to use the phone in the back . That woman 's a cold bitch . I 've got something for that , okay ? Do n't worry about it . Hey , Mrs . B . , can I use your phone really quick ? I got some green bud for your glaucoma . Mm ... ! I saw a little boy with a Superman suit walking down Grand Avenue . What time was that ? About 15 minutes ago . And I thought , maybe this is the little boy everyone 's been talking about . I 'm sorry ... A Spider-Man suit ? I did n't say Spider-Man ; I said Superman . He had a cape and he was walking with a little girl . Can you describe the ... Asshole . So I went to the phone outside Connie 's Pizza and called the police . But I could n't use the phone , because it was broken . And did you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Oh . Right . I was standing on the street , and I asked people who were passing if I could use their phone . I said it was an emergency , but no one listened . I do n't know if it was because I was young or ... Oh ! Poor ! Ha-ha-ha-ho . Okay , let 's see ... Frank ? ! Oh ... what am I gon na do ? Stop ? Hi , Frank . Shit ! Sorry ! Karen ! I thought you were gone . Frank ? Pass me a towel ? You got it all wet . A hand towel is fine . And do n't throw it , please . Casey ! Kev , what time you going to work today ? Uh , I go in at 6:00 . You 're going in early . You should go in , tell them you saw a little boy in a Superman costume walking down Grand Avenue . What are you doing here ? You 're not on till 6:00 . But I 'm here now ; what 's the harm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hey ! Another Old Style ? Yep . Gosh , you know what ? I am feeling nostaglic today . Did you hear what I said ? Said I was feeling nostalgic . What 's nostalgic ? Well , I 'm glad you asked . I was walking to work , and I saw this cute little kid wearing a Superman costume . You know , with the cape and everything ? Takes you back . He was a cute kid . Yeah , Superman costume . Cute little kid . A little kid in a Superman costume ? Superman costume . Sandy hair . That 's the little boy that 's missing . Where did you see him ? On Grand . I just passed him , like , five minutes ago . Well , we have to call that in , Kev . Yes , we do ! Hey , how 's my favorite lady doing ? Well , she 'll be better when her Powerball numbers come up , and Allied Shippers can kiss her fine black ass . Yeah , I got a good feeling on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vodka tonics ? No , only three today . Marilyn wants a virgin colada . She blacked out last night , so she a little nervous . No , no , no , no , if I ca n't buy my girlfriend 's mom drinks , what good am I ? No damn good . That 's right . Can I get these for you ? No . I got ' em . Ladies , how you doing ? I 'm just gon na grab these glasses ... that okay ? You can grab anything of mine you like . What 's your name ? Kev . Kev . That 's nice and short and easy to whisper , like ... Do it again , Kev . Uh-huh ... yeah ... Mr . Barkeep ... a large boilermaker . And keep ' em comin ' . Hey , did you bring in the water heater from the back porch ? No . Well , it 's not on the porch . Seriously .

We ca n't let anybody see you , with Casey , leaving our house . Look , Fiona is gon na take Casey to the rendezvous spot . She 'll give him to you and then you 'll take him back to his house from there . Otherwise , the plan wo n't work . Fiona is gon na go to Shiela 's , to make sure she has an alibi . I do n't think I can do this . Yeah , you 're gon na be great , Debs . Just ... do n't fuck it up . Hey , Debs ... Yeah ? Do you know why doctors , lawyers and nurses are great liars ? No . Because they lie to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a sick patient , " Too bad , you 're gon na die . " He would say , " We 're doing everything we can , " would n't he ? Yeah ...

You have made me ... the happiest woman in the world . I 'm gon na go call Veronica . Wait , wait ! No . She 'll want to call you . You do n't want to ruin the surprise . Okay , everybody , drinks on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mama ! There you go ! All right , one for the big daddy ... Now for the mama . There we go ! Yeah ! Fiona Gallagher ? ! Yeah . Yeah , what about her ? Nothing . Good . You really wan na hook up with her ? A lot of kids over there , man . You 're kidding , right ? Your marriage only lasted six weeks . Seven . And she wound up with the house . My car 's paid off ! You giving me advice is ridiculous . Fiona ... What a pleasant surprise . So they have n't found him yet ? I ca n't stop thinking about what his parents must be going through . I know . Do you want a drink ? I 've got a lot of booze . No mixers . Cup of coffee would be great . Why do n't I make it ? Oh , do n't mind me . I accidentally took three of my pills instead of one . Hey , wait a second ... Hiya , mister . Hey , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm gon na blush , and then they 'll know ! I ca n't be a nurse . I 'm not patient . I hate bedpans . I ca n't walk in clogs . And let 's face it , I 'm too small ! Peek-a-boo ! Peek-a-boo ... Oh , my God ! Mommy ! Casey 's back ! I do n't believe it ! Is it him ? Mommy ! It is ! He 's back . My baby ! Where have you been ? We 've been worried sick about you ! Where did you find him ? He was walking all by himself . I did n't know where he lived . Thank you . You 're an angel . I do n't , I do n't ... I do n't know how to thank you . Uh , here , just , uh ... Here , take-take all ... Take it . Take all of it . Just take everything . Thank you . Thank you . I told you we 'd find him . My Debbie found him ! A Gallagher saved the day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Deb 's . No , I-I 'm just helping her . Hey ! You 're on my hand . You 're ... All right , I am your father . Hey , Deb . Good job . Fiona , you want to come with us , please ? Where ? We need to take Deb to the station . What for ? We need to take a statement . Well , she-she found him . I mean , is n't that enough ? We need a statement . You can stay with her . Nurse Debbie can handle it . What I 'm trying to tell you is that I have never seen her love anybody ... I mean , anybody ... Oh no ... No ... Anybody as much as she loves you . For real ? I 'm for real . Including her daddy . No ! Mm-hmm . Come on . Ooh , and honey , she love him ... Mm ! Whoo ! Mm-mmm . Oh , shit . V ! V ! V ! V ! Can you hear me ? I need to speak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are you doing ? I 'm here to tell you something . I mean , I need to ask you something . How did you get so drunk in the middle of the afternoon ? Veronica Fisher , will you do me the honor of being my wife ? Yes ! Yeah ! I love you , baby . I love you ! I first saw him on Southport . He caught my eye because my baby brother Liam loves Superman . After I noticed he was alone , I took his hand . He 's a very good walker and very well-manned for a toddler . I thought for sure someone would let me use their phone . You know , I 'm just so shocked at the lack of humanity . Yes , I 'd love a cookie . I remember Grand Avenue from my Aunt Ginger . Do they require you to wear a jacket and tie or is that your choice ? I find it very fetching ! Big day . Yeah . Happy ending . Yep . You missed a good pot roast last week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah ... I 'm sorry about that . That 's so great about Debbie finding that little Casey . Yeah , I know . He was lucky it was her and not some crazy fucker . I like your new jeans . Oh , thanks . They did n't cheer me up as much as I 'd hoped . My house is so fucking weird . I wish I 'd been kidnapped . Is it that bad ? Yeah . You should have seen him at breakfast . I ca n't imagine what dinners are gon na be like . And , in fact , as soon as he gets down to the bottom , I look back and there are all these people behind us ... Yes . ... And I start yelling , " Go back ! Go back ! " Why ? Because he stepped off of the thing , and he just stopped there . And there are all of these people ... Oh , thank you . You know , your house is Frank 's wet dream . Never gon na get him out . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the tire swing ? Lip ? Wait , I 'm thinking . Well , I guess sometimes there are happy endings . Casey Casden , the little boy who disappeared from his own front yard earlier today has been delivered home safe and sound . Oh , thank you , Lisa . That is indeed great , great ... Fiona ! ? ?

It 's time to get drunk again . $690 , $700 , $710 , $715 exactly . Hmm ... Ah . Thanks for buying her that doll . No . Not a problem . You know what would feel great right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'll wash your back . Shit . No hot water . You really are beautiful . I hope I 'm not fucking up the kids . Fiona ! Fiona , where are you ? Here . Fiona ! Yeah ! Mommy ! What the hell ? Champagne ? I 'm getting married . Oh , my God ! She 's great . Yeah , man . She 's a good egg . She deserves it . Yeah , but does she deserve you , you bastard ? No . Nobody does . Take the Advil now . You want to stay ahead of the pain . Penny for your thoughts . Really , Grandma ? I know . I 'm a 60-year-old lady with the vaj of a newborn . You know I love you guys , right , Kev ? I could n't raise these kids without you and V . I know they borrow your shit all the time . I 'm sorry . I know it 's lame . But thanks . I do n't know how I 'd do it without you guys . And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so happy for you both . Yeah , yeah , yeah . You know that Jagermeister really makes you chatty . Right ? You know that ? Look at V . Is n't she beautiful ? Yeah ... She sure is . What the hell is that ? Debbie ? It 's our new water heater . I got it on sale . And free delivery . He said because I 'm a hero . You are my girl ! Oh , man . You 're gon na go to the back and you 're gon na make a sharp left . And install it in the kitchen . Take it in the kitchen . Go straight down . By the way , I call the first hot shower . That was something , huh ? Yeah . You know , for a guy who just got engaged , you do n't seem very happy to be getting married . That 's ' cause I 'm already married . Debs , you 've got to get ready for school . I ca n't go to school . Why not ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

Or " Rothie , " for short . I am sorry . I am very confused . Your world is new to me . What has happened ? No , no , no . Quite all right , quite all right . Since the beginning of history , the immortal Aku has ruthlessly ruled the Earth plundering its resources as he sees fit . But it was still not enough . He opened his ports to the galaxy so that he might take the riches of other worlds as well .

Chariots did not fly , and dogs did not speak in human tongue . What do you mean ? Well , I mean no insult . They were wonderful companions but the dogs I knew merely barked . You see ? The ancient myths are true ! impossible ! If what you say is true , he 'd have to be thousands of years old . Astounding ! The age-o-meter dates your particles all the way back to 25 B.A .

Oh , I 'm so glad we agree on that point which actually brings us back to our proposal . You see , we are archeologists trying to dig up the remains of our ancestors to find out more about our past . It was only a few years ago that we discovered that our ancestors walked upon their legs and their arms . Then , one day , during our excavation , we actually stumbled upon rare jewels . Aye .

With your tremendous skill , you can break us free from Aku 's grasp . And we can escape in secret to again continue to discover our history . I will help you . Splendid ! Well , we 're off , then . - Hold it ! - What is it now , Rothie ? - What 's wrong ? - My dearest apologies , kind sir . But we never got your name . - Jack . - Jack was all ... - Jack . Jack . - Yo , Jack . - Jack , was ... - Jack ! They call me Jack . Jack ? I say , that 's nice . So simple but it seems to fit . Who am I to comment ? Well , Jack , we 're on our way . We 'll take our rocket ship . Rocket ship ? I 'm taking a break . My lord , we are the Vadaquas from the Mosconian Galaxy . Our water planet has been pillaged . All the oceans that were once our home @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ planet with oceans rich enough to sustain our people . And your world is our last hope for survival . I know of your plight , Vadaquian . For you see , I am he who has taken your waters and the riches within them . - You monster ! - Be quiet ! I am sorry , my lord . The boy is young and foolish . He does not know what he says . The boy will return . He will learn proper respect for Aku in the pit of hate . Yes , oh , master . Your wisdom is unquestionable . But will you , great lord Aku , allow us to inhabit your world ? For you are our only hope . You will be allowed . The oceans of Aku will be your new home . But you will pay homage to me by constructing statues in my likeness . Once a month , a monolithic tribute will rise from the depths of the ocean to remind all who is the master of this world . Now be gone ! My lord master , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be considered great for the immortal Aku ? An ancient warrior of great power and skill has revealed himself . He has vowed to liberate the canines from your mines . What impertinence is this ? Show me the fool ! So fate has arrived . Many years have gone since that day . And now , my formidable foe , you will pay for my pain in the past with your pain in the future . Oh , dear . Sir Jack , are you ill ? I 'm fine . I just prefer walking . Yes . Rocket rides . Sorry about that , old-timer . But anyway , welcome to our camp . As you can see , our archaeological dig had unearthed many astounding discoveries concerning the history of canine kind . But unfortunately , Aku has , shall we say redirected our efforts purely toward the excavation of his precious gems . And if Aku 's unreasonable quotas are not fully met I 'm afraid terrible punishments are exacted . My people 's spirits are broken . We simply can not live like this any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . But no more . Even dogs should not be forced to live like dogs ! They 're coming ! They 're coming ! Aku 's drones approach from the south . They will be upon us by sunrise .

@@5262441 1x08 ' Teddy takes off ' I 'm a fully heterosexual guy , let me be clear . But when you work in two square feet of space with the same guy for a long enough time , your relationship takes on a ballet-like quality . I 've worked with Teddy on and off for over ten years . Not only is he the best fish guy in the business , but he breaks me up . Hey , Teddy ! I heard you and Jim 's mom have been going out pretty hard . Last night , Jim 's mom and I had a really romantic dinner , and when I walked her home , we kissed . Very so tenderly . - That 's so hot ! But we were soon so overcome with passion , that we jumped to Connecticut and checked in to a B and B . Let 's just say that Teddy had a little muffin before breakfast . He is the fish guy . You may think talking smack about a guy 's mom is over the line , but when you work in a kitchen , there is no line . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this : I do n't give a rat 's ass what they do . You promise to call me this time ? - I promise I 'll try . Thanks for the lender , Iqbal Each time you get it closer . Doctor Goldfarb is doing surgery in ten minutes I 'm sorry , mate . How can I make it up to you ? Just make sure I have my dinner at 5 PM . There is Crusted yellowfin Tuna . - Again ? That 's every night for the last two months . I mean , it 's an amazing dish , but my God , Iqbal , that 's not right . Look , the rest of my life is a washing chaos . I need a constant . We made it into " Food and Wine " . " Nolitas 's signature sassily Crusted yellowfin with morels and beluga caviar does more than demonstrate Bourdain 's brilliance , it sets a new standard in talent in haute cuisine " . Oh , my God ! Are you kidding me ? Are you kidding me ? Who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Come here ! The yellowfin is my recipe . I developed it three years ago *** Well I was supervising you as head chef . You were supervising ... ? You were supervising me ? You were in the walking the whole time playing high the fish stick with the owner 's wife ! It sounds like they 're yelling . Good ear . So all of a sudden it 's your recipe because it 's in here . No , it 's my recipe because it 's in here . Allright , because you 're all knowing all powerful . I 'm surprised you 're not taking credit for creating tuna itself . Hey , no one is saying that you did n't make a valuable contribution to this dish . Right , but no-one is saying that I did . Look , look . I think someone needs to take a little ego check . And here it comes . You know what ? I 'm out of here ! - Okay , good bye , little baby ! Baby finds a new crib . And dipers . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , Teddy ? I ca n't believe Teddy 's gone . It 's like he 's not even here anymore . Oh , no , no , no . There , there . Steven , how many times has Steven quit ? I believe this one makes 17 . - 17 times , and every time , the same story . Teddy 's sensitive ego gets bruised somehow , At Jack 's expense . - You are a rockstar now ? Yeah , I am a rockstar , and you 're my drummer , so just shut up and just bang your little drums , okay ? I am outtahere ! Teddy takes off and hooks up with an old buddy who always makes him feel better about himself . Goes home and works through his anger . What ? You do n't tell me how to cook .

Listen , since we 're back to the five , who preps the shrimp ? I mean , I 'd do it myself . I just feel like it 's beneath me . I mean , who built this place ? Who brought all you guys together ? I mean , seriously , screw him ! I 'm in " Food and Wine " magazine . Very handsome . So who does the choppy choppy peely peely ? What 's that ? - The shrimp . Hey , guys , this is Chet .

It 's your bit , it 's your thing . " I am mad at you " . " No , I am mad at you . " " I feel one way " . " No , I feel another " . Extreme reaction . Oh , hasty action . Yeah . No , Nolita is my last chance and I 'm not going to let it be sabotaged by Teddy 's gigantic ego . Teddy 's ego ? Okay . I like Chet . He 's not a pre-madonna .

I 'd sure like to snatch him up before the rest of New York finds out he 's available . Really ? He says I 'd ask you for your recommendation . You wan na know about Teddy ? He said you are amazing . What ? He said there 's no-one that even approaches your level of talent . He said I 'd be a fool not to hire you . Vindictive bastard . This is how it starts .

We 've got so much to beat up on the student and that time deserves for Jim . Exquise me . Pratt ! He leaves these things everywhere . It 's time we ask ourselves one question : What would Sinatra do ? He 'd take off that sodding bandana . Word to the wise : get out now . Why would I do that ? - We torture the new guy . I am serious . It is shockingly cruel . We got a real vietcom thing going on here . You savvy , Chet ? - Okay . Look , they like to give the new guys static . Do n't let it break you down .

So what 's everybody going to be ordering tonight ? I 'll have the yellowfin tuna . Yellowfin tuna . Do n't bother with the menus . We all want the magazine fish . How much did you spend on this ? Ten grand ? Ten , twelve , who 's counting ? The important question is , do you like it ? I think it 's obscene . And I love it ! Damn it !

If I may say one thing . - It better not be " exquise me " ! I do n't think Jack Bourdain makes this call . I think Jack Bourdain steps up and has the courage to break the toxic patterns of his past . I think Jack Bourdain says good bye to people who do n't want him to shine . You 're all right , Chet .

Unfortunately , for some of us , that 's not an option . Damn it ! Exquise me . - It 's okay . It 's okay . *** It 's okay . It 's okay . Excuse me . Hi . It 's been 45 minutes . Is the chef out catching the fish ? That 's a funny notion . I mean , Can you imagine if he was actually like , whoa ! Food ! Just so you know , the costumers are getting verbally abusive . Oh , you want me to call your mommy ? I already did . She was remarkably cruel . There , two . Take them , take them ! Momentum . That 's what I 'm talking about . Come on , we can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What 's up next , buddy ? 13 more . - 13 more what ? I think we both know , sir . What are you doing ? - That was chase to be done . I can not allow you to bone Chet . What , are you going to stop me or something , man ? Turning your back on Teddy ? Just dial it down , sweetheart . I 've already made some ... farmaceutical manoeuvres . Hey , guys ! Chicken hands ! My hands feel so weird inside of these chickens . It 's such a great word , chicken . Say chicken . Chicken . - Chicken ! Are you my chicken ? Yes , I 'm your chicken . I have no hands . So , you ... slipped in something . Yeah . I slipped in everything . In one of your profiterols , actually . Awesome ! Get it on ! Get it ! Do n't you ever touch my pastry again . - Okay . Marry me . Okay , where are all those people going ? They 're leaving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to eat . Okay , we 'll feed them booze . Keep them happy . That 's your job . Do I have to do your job too now ? The only one here not doing their job is you ! You should have given Teddy credit .

How come the only person that understands that is the guy I hired 3 hours ago ? Oh , you mean Chet ? - Yes , I mean Chet . I 'll take Chet over all of you . I 'll take ten Chets anyday . Come here , Chet ! Where is Chet ? Oh , yeah ! Okay , Chet is fired . Chet is extremely fired . We 're going to need some extra *** . Tanya , I need your help . Steven ! - Yeah ?

What are you doing ? What do you mean ? Okay , I kinda calibrate my stuff so it 's perfectly balanced , and now you 're ruining it . Okay , you 're destroying it . Okay , okay , it 's garbage now .

Yes , and i really saw the entire book , thematically , As a take on corporate america . I think in the fourth chapter , When nancy drew discovers the bloody glove In the cheerleader 's locker , That was just a brilliantly written passage . So full of metaphor ! Hey guys , can we talk to you ? Oh , hi , boys ! How was school ? Uh , not cool . Great . We 're having our book-Of- The-Month club meeting , So why do n't you boys go outside and play . Was it me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ riddle of elephant mountain a little too easily ? Oh yes . For sure . No , no , he said not cool . We got our new teacher today . It 's mr .

Yeah , but these guys are really super gay . I 'm surprised at you , stanley . I really thought you knew how to accept people for who they were . Yeah , but , dad-No buts , stanley . We 're not raising our kids to be discriminators . That 's right , i think it 's time you kids took a little trip To the museum of tolerance . Welcome to the museum of tolerance . Here we try to educate you on the dynamics Of racism and prejudice in america . Ow ! Now , did you know that words we use can show intolerance ? Let 's begin our tour with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you what it can feel like To be discriminated against . Queer ! Beaner ! Chink ! Nigger ! Heeb ! Faggot ! Cracker ! Oh man , this is awesome ! Now you know how it feels . I wan na ride again ! I wan na ride again ! We are now entering the " hall of stereotypes " . These wax figures represent How some intolerant people have labeled minorities . Here , we see a black person eating chicken and watermelon , A stereotype that hurts the african-American community . What other stereotypes do you see here ? Ah , here 's the arab as a terrorist . That 's right , but of course we know That not all arabs are terrorists , do n't we , kids ? Well , there 's an asian man with a calculator . That 's right , not all stereotypes are negative . But even a positive one , like " all asians are good at math " Is harmful to society . Look ! A covetous jew ! Very good , young man . The idea that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Ah , here 's a good one . It 's the stereotypical " sleepy mexican " . Wha - What ? Oh man , what time is it ? I 'm sorry , i thought you were a wax sculpture . No , man , i 'm the janitor . I 'm supposed to be cleaning but i 'm so tired . Ooh , i so sleepy . This is our discovery wing . Take your time at the computer displays , because you see , Being tolerant you must also learn To respect people who are small , people who are disabled , Even people who are overweight , like this young man here . Ay ! You other boys have probably called this young man names Like " tubby " , or " lard butt " or " fat tits " . Fat tits- That 's a good one . Yeah , have to remember that . But you must learn be tolerant of his differences as well . If he chooses to eat fatty foods , That 's his life choice . I 'm not fat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wo n't belittle you for eating Lots of cookies and cakes and pies . Dude , tolerance kicks ass ! That 's our cartman . Well , that 's the end of our tour . Now do you see why tolerance is so important , boys ? I guess . We have to accept people for who they are And what they like to do . Hey ! What the hell are you doing ? ! I was just-There 's no smoking in the museum ! But i 'm not in the museum . Get out of here , you filthy smoker ! Yeah , dirty lungs ! Go ahead and kill yourself , stupid tar breath ! Dumbass ! Get outta here ! Well , have a great day , everybody . Now you boys can go and give your teacher and assistant The respect they deserve , right ? Yeah . Okay , children , let 's take our seats .

Evaporation is an exothermic reaction-So now let 's look at an endothermic one . Mr . Slave , position 7 , please . Now i 'm gon na put the glass tube into mr . Slave 's tight ass . The heat from mr . Slave 's ass Will act as our new conductor of energy . Ahh ! Okay , now butters , Could you bring over lemmiwinks for me , please ? Sure ! Oh , no . No , no , no , no , no . Newton was the first to discover that for every action There is a reaction- Thank you , butters-Now what do you think is gon na happen When i introduce the element of the gerbil To the endothermic heat of mr .

Now why do you wan na go be intolerant Of gay people , children ? I thought you knew better ! Well , we did n't think we were , But mr . Garrison has this new assistant , And we 're really uncomfortable around them . Children , a lot of times , The reason people get uncomfortable around gay people Is that they have some issues themselves . You have to ask yourself , " what is it about their behavior That for some reason makes me uncomfortable ? " Well , i guess it 's mostly the way Mr . Garrison stuck a gerbil up mr . Slave 's ass . Right , and you see , children , That 's why you need to- Whoa , what ? ! Are we homophobes now ? We do n't wan na be gay bashers , chef ! Children , there 's a big difference between gay people And mr . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ children just take your lunches . I 'm gon na have a talk with the principal .

In fact , i believe you used to words " sick queer " To describe his conduct in class . He is a sick queer ! Yeah ! I just wanted to give you an opportunity To apologize to mr.Garrison before i sent you away , chef . Kiss my black ass ! Parents , i had to call you in here because your boys Have refused to attend class With their homosexual teachers , m'kay . We 're not staying in class another minute With those queermos ! Well , i really thought you boys learned something At the museum of tolerance . But apparently all you learned Was new words to call your poor teachers ! But they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll speak when spoken to ! Yes , sir . Mr . Mackey , we 've done everything we can To raise compassionate children . We do n't know where else to turn !

" The Sopranos ' " Steve Schirripa hits our track . All right , here we go , baby . And Tanner puts the new Subaru WRX to the test by racing against a dirt bike . Foust : Aah ! Hollywood - - where movie stars are born . But actors are n't always the only stars . Certain cars have been known to steal the scene . So , we were each given $2,000 to buy and modify what we thought was the best car to ever appear in a movie or tv show . Does it get any cooler than KITT ? I mean , first off , you 've got a trans am with artificial intelligence . It had a British voice for an American car , for some reason . It could evade police . It had rockets . It could go 300 miles an hour . A Pontiac has never done that . You 've got " the hoff , " members only jackets like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' 80s . Now , this one 's a little updated . It 's a ' 95 .

Foust : I thought it would take me at least until the first challenge to prove how superior my Japanese Delorean was , but straightaway it was making an impression . [Man_speaks_indistinctly] I just heard him say that this is Michael J . Fox in " Back to the Future " right there . Tanner , you made the Hollywood tour . Check that one off the bucket list . It was an unbelievably big moment for Delorean - - 1985 , when Marty McFly looked over to Doc Emmett Brown and said , " you made a time machine - - - out of a Delorean ?

It 's got more of an edgy shape , like the Delorean had . I was able to get a metallic-silver paint job on the thing . And it 's cheap as hell . Ferrara : This car is an icon - - the general Lee . I mean , it 's one of the most recognizable cars in history . By 1981 , the car was getting fan mail , an average of 35,000 more letters than any other human being on the show . Now , the original general Lee was a ' 69 Dodge Charger . This is a ' 73 Duster that 's - - - All right , it 's crap because I could n't find a ' 69 Charger because the production probably used them all up .

[Laughs] Wood : Adam may have been a hit with the homeless , but nothing could beat KITT I 'm telling you - - you got to try notching your steering wheel like this . Now , I did use a speak-and-spell-type device for my computing . I 'll be honest - - I did n't actually wire all these switches . I just glued them on .

Wood : We were competing to see who had the best Hollywood car $2,000 could buy . [Tires_screech] Our first challenge was a braking test .

[Both_laugh] Adam was up next . Ferrara : I was beginning to second-guess my decision to replace a charger with a duster . I do n't know what good this is gon na do , but I 'll put it on . Adam , are you ready ? Almost . Just remember that , thus far , my car is the only one better than a Suzuki . Okay . He 's a [Bleep] annoying man . Adam , are you ready ?

Just for - - just - - - How fast am I going ? 18 . My speedometer does n't work ! Tell him 30 . 20 . 90 ? I say he does n't break 60 . Come on . How fast is that ? Oh [Bleep] No brakes . [Tires_screech] There 's some . Not enough . Oh ! [Laughing] He 's off in the bushes ! [Both_laugh] Wow . He may be unconscious . That was a violent boom . See @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you okay ? [Laughs] Are you okay ? Yeah . How fast was that ? 73 . Damn it . Wood : So , let 's see . - You did 73 miles an hour . - Yeah . - You did 77 . - Right . And I did more than 88 , which makes KITT and I the winners . Oh , yeah . Oh , yeah . - Why do you do this ? - Feeling it . Is n't that what you do when you win stuff ? I do n't know . [Laughs] He 's such a good winner . Yeah . Is n't he ? Let 's go kick him again . [Cheers_and_applause] And now on to something that does n't look anything like a hero car , but it 's supposed to perform like one . So , basically the exact opposite of our movie cars . Exactly . This is the 2011 Subaru STI . It 's the fastest Subaru ever built , and it 's supposed to be fast on any surface you throw at it . Well , is it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mountains to find out . Foust : When most people think of an off-road vehicle , they think of a truck or an SUV . But Subaru thinks of this . The 2011 Impreza WRX STI . [Laughs] It 's all-wheel drive , turbo-charged , and grips like a squirrel on amphetamines . Yeah , there 's definitely no doubt - - this car is a blast to drive . It 's not a supercar , but it is fast . For 35 grand , it 's unbelievably fast . 140 miles per hour on a " B " road - - bumpy , narrow , uneven pavement . It 's incredibly calm , cool , and collected . The STI is the top of Subaru 's performance line . It comes with a 2 1/2-liter , 305-horsepower engine . And for about 35 grand , you 'll get an all-wheel drive car that 'll do zero to 60 in under 5 seconds . It 's not great on road , and the stiffer suspension does help with that , but once this car gets off road and gets @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You ca n't tell how good these cars are until you get them off road and push them beyond your own comfort . [Tires_screech] The grip the all-wheel drive system makes is violent . You get all four wheels spinning in the same direction . It 's incredible , the reaction this car makes . Subaru owners are unique yet predictable . I could pretty much predict that your IT Guy drives a WRX or an STI and he honks and waves at other Subaru WRXes and STIs on the road . The Impreza STI obviously has incredible off-road capabilities , but to really find out how good it was , I wanted to put it to a test . Subaru claimed that this car drives like a sports car over virtually any terrain . But to see how fast this car goes over this terrain , we need a benchmark to race against it . That benchmark is the dirt bike , perhaps the ultimate all-terrain vehicle . And the only person we could find crazy enough to take on this challenge was " x " games gold medalist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I had my challenger , we needed a location . This is Eagle Mountain , once the largest open-pit iron mine in the Western United States . The iron ore from here was manufactured into steel that was then used into making hardware for World War II the Korean War , and Vietnam . So , if you served your country , chances are your tank came from here . This 10,000-acre playground was the perfect place for an all-terrain race . Our course would take us from the top of the mine , through a decrepit industrial area , and finish just past a ghost town . Racing across an industrial mine is pretty dangerous . So the attorneys made me drive the rally version of the STI for safety . But even though it 's been modified for racing , it 's not that different from a street car . The engine has slightly more horsepower , and it 's equipped with a roll cage , better suspension , and gravel tires . [Engine_turns_over] My number-one priority is to beat him . [Engine_revs] Number two is to try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a higher top speed than my opponent , but that did n't mean I had the advantage . I 'd have to use the ribbon of road winding through the mine , while the dirt bike could cut straight through the obstacles and race directly towards the finish . To be completely honest , my money was n't on the Subaru . Man : Three - - - Two - - - One . Go ! Foust : He got a jump start ! Oh , man , he 's fast off the line ! The dirt bike immediately took advantage of its ability to cut across the roads , while all I could do was hammer down . Oh , he 's taking a shortcut ! Oh , no ! Wow , he 's really fast over the rough stuff ! Oh , he 's taking another shortcut . Oh , man ! We 'd split halfway down the Mountain . I had 5 miles of windy dirt trails in front of me before I 'd reached the bottom . Cam took a more direct approach . [Engine_revs] There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - - Life-threatening to climb down - - - - But on a bike - - - - Suicidal . But Cam was here to win . With all this straightaway , there 's no way he 's anywhere close . Yeah ! Oh [Bleep] There he is ! Cam 's death-defying decision to bomb down the side of a cliff paid off . We were now in the apocalyptic industrial area . With 3 miles to go , it would be about maneuverability , not speed . The dirt bike had the advantage in these close quarters , and I was falling behind . And even worse , my tongue was hanging out . He just gets through the buildings so fast . It 's unbelievable . We were almost out of the industrial zone when I saw an opportunity to do something I could n't resist . Aah ! Taking that jump may have put me behind , but I was hoping I could make it up once we hit the asphalt . The challenge for us both was to find the exit on the other side . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ turn into a dead end . Oh , my gosh . That was close . He could weave through the houses . But so could I . The Impreza was more than living up to its reputation as an all-terrain car . But then cam decided to put me in my place . We were both lost in the labyrinth , and the first to find the exit would take the race . How do you get out of this place ? Cam had spotted the exit and hit the highway . Unless I found a shortcut , it was all over . There 's the exit right there . [Choir_vocalizing] Yes ! Come on ! Oh , my gosh . It 's neck and neck . Time for those 305 horses to do their job . Hey ! Whew ! Yeah ! Wood : Coming up , we continue our Hollywood-car challenge - - - [Tires_screech] You lost your stick ! Schirripa : All right , here we go , baby . - And one of the Sopranos hits our track . I would make a good cab driver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you raced a biker through a ghost town , and you won . How was it ? It was pretty awesome . I got to say , this is probably better off road than it is on road . Really ? Well , last year you took the mitsubishi Evo down a ski slope covered in snow , racing against two skiers . So , I want to know - - how did the Subaru compare , since that 's the main competitor ? Like , the Subaru was perfect going up those gravel roads . It 's probably more fun on the dirt than the Evo , or the Evo 's probably more fun on the pavement . But I did n't know which one was faster . To find out , though , we elicited the help of our infallible test driver , the Stig . Foust : Stig getting comfortable . [Tires_screech] He 's off . The launch of these Subarus - - really incredible , very popular among younger drivers as drag cars for that reason . Getting up to speed very quickly into the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chicane with very little body roll . I can say , behind the wheel , it feels like this car 's leaning quite a bit more than it looks from the outside . Stig finding his way into the teardrop - - now , this is where the all-wheel drive will really set the STI apart from our two-wheel-drive cars on this track , as it can put the power down so efficiently out of this tighter corner . And sure enough , not a hint of wheel spin , just putting every horsepower straight to the ground , building up very impressive speed . Blazing by the grass , not afraid to go off road , tearing by the tires - - very quick through here . Now , this is a difficult section of the track - - very bumpy and high speed . Sti just nailing it through there - - that 's what this car is good at - - the rough stuff . Stig working just a little bit there as he finds the apex with a hint of understeer . Now we come into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weight on the front tires of this car makes it under steer a little bit through these corners . Somehow managing to get through the last corner even with a drift , and across the line . [Cheers_and_applause] Wow . Now , that was abusive . It really was . I mean , he got everything possible out of this car . There 's no doubt of that . But the question is , is it faster than the Evo ? What do you guys think ? I think it is . [Cheers_and_applause] Yeah ? Yeah , you would be wrong . It 's actually 0.8 of a second slower than the Evo , with a 1:30.0 . - Still a good lap , I would say . - Yeah . Still ties with an X6 M - - much more expensive car . We just have a fast board , that 's all . I mean , it shows why those cars are paired up so closely . It 's kind of like the Chevy-Ford battle , but of Japanese rally cars . Yes , but it 's kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same price , same horsepower . This is an incredibly capable car . It 's just not as good as the Evo on our road course . Oh , you mean kind of like how your Nissan Delorean is nowhere near as good as my KITT Car in our movie-cars challenge . Wood : We each spent $2,000 to create our favorite cars to ever star in a tv show or movie . Now we were trying to find out who had chosen the best and met up for our next challenge . Wood : You know what I 've always wanted to try ? That show " Rockford Files " ? That guy would always - - you know , he would reverse and then spin around and take off . A Rockford . - Is that what they call it ? - Yeah . - You can do that ? - Reverse-spin turn , yeah . I think you could do it with almost any car . You go first . We 'll try it after you . Really ? You 're gon na do it if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . - Done . Foust : All right , so , basically I want to get up to speed , crank the wheel one rotation , lift off the gas . When it gets halfway around , hit the brake , get the steering wheel straight , put it in a forward gear , and drive away , okay ? Simple as that . I ca n't wait to see this . You think his door 's gon na fly open ? Oh , totally . [Chuckles] Like a little bird . I think he 's gon na lose the entire air-conditioning system . Okay , here we go , full throttle . Got to get up - - Oh , it 's not fast . There 's that . [Tires_screech] [Hands_clapping] There went his prop rod for the door . That was so scary . That was nuts , huh ? You forgot your door post . The door threw me off . I felt like everything was gon na come out the door . Well , you stayed in . - Was that movie magic ? - Mnh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's a professional stunt driver . My general Lee was up next . I 'll be honest with you - - I am not worried about my door flying open because I welded it shut . I am worried , however , of the front end falling off , having enough power , turning , braking , and stopping . - Do you think he 's gon na do okay ? - No . - Slow-steering rack , so he ca n't get it around . - Sure . And then when it does come around , he 's not gon na turn enough , so he 's gon na end up backing up into us , okay ? Can you run in those shoes ? All right . [Laughs] Huh ? ! - Impressive . - Uh-huh . - Impressive . - Pretty nice , huh ? I do n't know what to say . It was so ugly and so slow . Wood : Adam tried , but his Rockford turn was n't a success . This is gon na work . KITT and I attempt the rockford @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , hauling ass . And Steve Schirripa - - - Schirripa : All right , here we go , baby . - Tries something he 's never done before . Like a jockey - - " come on ! " We have been given each 2,000$ to re-create our favorite cars from Hollywood . My " Knight Rider " knock-off won the braking challenge . - What ? - Yes ! Tanner 's " Back to the Future " copy had completed the Rockford turn - - - and Adam 's " Dukes of Hazzard " stand-in failed miserably at both . Oh [Bleep] [Both_laugh] KITT had a chance to make it 2-2 as we lined up for a try at the rockford turn . Wood : All right , I 'm gon na try the rockford . I 've got the fastest car here .

Now it 's time for what we call " Big star , small car . " That 's where we take a celebrity , put him in our Suzuki , let him go around the track to see who can set the fastest lap time .

Do you drive - - you have to drive when you 're out here . No , I do n't drive . How do you get around ? Well , they drive me around . [Laughter] I 'm - - I 've done okay , you know ?

Wood : Coming up , our Hollywood cars are put to the ultimate test when they face the challenge of outrunning the baddest guy we know . Foust : Aah ! Ferrara : We were competing to see who had the best $2,000 car . Oh [Bleep] [Both_laugh] Rut 's really bad " Knight Rider " won the braking test , and Tanner won the Rockford turn .

[Tires_screeching] Of course the Stig is here . " You have a 15-second head start . The car that avoids capture the longest wins . " So , you go first . You ready there , Stig ? All right .

I 'm kind of surprised , to be honest with you . Tanner 's time was just over 3:00 . I was up next , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three-way tie . Ferrara : Okay . Half a seat belt , six cylinders , limited braking , terrible handling , and I 'm being chased by the Stig . This is n't good . You ready for this ? Okay . Three , two , one , go ! That was not very exciting . Does he know this is a race ? Come on . Come on , come on . Oh , there you go , baby . [Chuckling] That thing looks like kind of classic . Here comes the Stig . Hold on .

I need you right now . Three , two , one , go ! Yeah , there it is . Oh , I 'm missing part of the steering wheel . That is not gon na be very helpful . Stig is on it .

[Car_beeping] Oh , that -- - Did you hit your little " turbo " button ? - I tried . The problem is I kept reaching for the steering wheel , and I had cut a little too much of it .

You murdered your own brother . I did n't murder you ! - Killian is dead . - It sounds like you had a vision . You have a gift for premonition . So he might still be alive . What 's happening to you is not scientific . You 're not gon na find the reason in an MRI . I got the MRI scan . I found a match . Ingrid Beauchamp . Nice to see you again . I knew something came through the portal . I tracked him to the woods tonight . We need to know who we 're dealing with . There 's a reason he does n't want us to know who he is . Stay the hell away from me . What do you think the girls are gon na say when I tell them that you left their brother behind ? Frederick ? I do n't trust him . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's darkest moment , he was visited by the owl . Where have you been ? I c ... I ca n't remember . Did anyone or anything come through the portal with you ? Hey . What 's going on ? I 'm worried about Ingrid . What time did she come home from the bar last night ? Uh , midnight ? I do n't know . Uh , she said she wanted - to walk home . - Uh , Ingrid ? Call me back . Immediately . I think something 's happened to her . Mom . Oh , my God ! Ingrid ! Oh , Ingrid . Still shooting blanks ? Um ... Yeah , uh , this is Dr . Gardiner . Did you receive the e-mail I sent you ? Y-Yeah . Yeah . I saw you kill your brother . I have the evidence . Would you like me to send it to the police ? No . Then I 'm gon na need $50,000 in cash today . Today ? That-that 's impossible . Not for you it is n't . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . There-there 's no way . We both know you 're loaded , Dr . Gardiner . Figure it out . I 'll be in touch . You 're screwed . Back off ! You better get a hold of this before you kill someone . I mean someone else . She 's so cold . Well , she 's alive that 's what counts . Ingrid ? Ingrid . What happened ? You must have been sleepwalking again . Either that or she passed out - cold in the yard . - What ? I 'm just saying she was pretty drunk last night . Oh , my God . That 's all right , Sweetie . We 'll heal those . What about the sleepwalking ? We 'll have to find a spell . This is n't safe . You know what 's crazy is that I think that was the best night 's sleep I 've had in years . And I 'm starving . I want pancakes ... - Yeah ? - and eggs and bacon and tacos ! I would kill for a taco ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'll make some eggs . Besides , uh , we need to talk . Okay . First I want to say I am sorry that I did n't tell you girls the truth sooner . I really , I really did have my reas ... reason ... Well , we can talk about that later . So ... okay . Here goes . All right . 400 years ago , in Asgard , there was a war . And ... You have a brother . And he 's upstairs asleep . - What ? ! - Thank you , Wendy . It 's like a Band-Aid . You just got to yank it off . - A brother ? - Are you kidding ? Wh ... how could you 've never told us this ? ! I 'm so sorry . Leaving Frederick behind was one of the most painful decisions I 've ever had to make . Actually , he chose to stay behind in Asgard all of these years with your grandfather . Otherwise known as the guy who cursed all of us . But he 's been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his life . And we 're very lucky that he did because it was Frederick who cured me last night . The argenteum is completely out of my system . - Wait , what ? How does that happen ? - How can he do that ? I-It 's a miracle ! So , our brother is the one who came through the portal . But Wendy saw a shadow in the woods and she said his aura was vicious - and predatory . - Exactly . Well-well , we think that someone else came through the portal at the same time and that 's the dark aura that - Wendy saw in the woods . - It might ... It was . It was . ... have been . Freya , Ingrid . I ca n't believe it 's really you . Now , you used to wake me up in middle of the night , Freya . In the dead of winter . " I want to watch the sun rise on Ayre Beach . " Which , mind you , is a thousand miles away . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted to sleep . But I could never refuse you , either . So , we-we 'd do the spell . We 'd join hands and then ... there we were . Standing in the warm sand , watching the sun come up . We had some of our best talks on that beach . I still think about them . Uh , I do n't understand . How would we get there ? Well , we were n't actually there . We 'd simply project our , uh , thought bodies . It 's a spell we used to do together . That 's astro-projection . That 's incredible . Did you ever do that with me ? No . No , it only works with Freya because we 're twins . Oh , my God ! That is crazy ! I always wanted a twin . I used to talk about this all the time - when we were kids . Do you remember ? - I know . I always thought she was just being narcissistic , like you wanted another version of you around . But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same . I missed you so much . You know that Frederick is alone in the kitchen right now with your daughters while you 're out here what ? Pulling weeds ? I 'm not pulling weeds . I 'm picking radix sinceritate . Ah , truth root ! If Freya 's right and Dash does have powers , I want to confirm . She could be in real danger . So , I 'm gon na put it in a pie I 'm making and take it up to Fair Haven later . You want to come ? That 's your plan ? Magic pie ? He does n't have to eat it all . He just has to get a whiff of it . It 's pretty strong stuff . I saw Dash last night . He is angry , volatile . We have to approach this carefully . That was the idea . Are you in or out ? Oh , I 'm in . Um , while we 're at it , uh , I think m-maybe we should just give Frederick a little bit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! I do n't need a truth root . When Frederick healed me last night , I saw the truth . I could feel his love for me . And all he wanted to do was heal me . And I know how ridiculous and naive it sounds . I have n't forgotten what he did to us . But I could feel his pain and his regret . He knows that he betrayed us . And he was brainwashed . Or he ... might still be . Well , he had the presence of mind to escape , and I think that should tell you something . Or he pretended to escape so that he could play on your guilt and sympathy . - Yeah , well ... - Mm . She was naked ? Are you kidding me ? Ingrid ? Naked in public ? Naked and drunk as a skunk on mead , shouting to the rooftops , " Ero regina ! " Why was I shouting , " I will be queen " ? Well , you are a princess . - I am ? - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happy this makes me . My whole family together together finally . Why would you not tell us that we 're royalty ? Because being royalty in Asgard is kind of irrelevant in this world . And on that note , as I am no longer a princess , I 'm going to work . But I 'll meet you all at the park later for Fourth of July ! Where 's Father ? Is he coming with us ? Uh , I left him a message . He 's out of cell phone range . He 's actually in South America . He went to look for a cure for the argenteum poisoning . But he is going to be so happy to see you again . Oh . So , Frederick ? I have n't had a chance to ask . How 's , uh , how has it been in Asgard with Grandfather all these years ? Not long after you all came here , I realized the mistake I made . I tried to save him . To convince him to give in to his better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrupt . And I became the receptacle of that rage . In the end , I almost wished for death .

You 're a very distracting man . And I 'm already late for work . Take the day off . Spend it with me . I 'm scared . It 's only been a few days , but I already feel like I 've known you forever .

You 'll dry out the parchment , the ink separate , - you 'll destroy it . - I 'm taking this with me . I 'll send for the rest Monday . Mm . Maybe you were n't handling it properly , Dr . Foster . If anything happens to this volume between now and Monday , I 'm holding you responsible . Hi . I really wish you would stop sneaking up on me , Frederick . I was n't sneaking , I was just looking for Mom . We 're over there . Oh , I , uh , found this on the porch . Is it yours ? Thank you . You 're welcome . Ma'am . It 's nice to see you again . You know , we have n't been formally introduced . Tommy Cole . Not interested . Oh . No , but yesterday it kind of seemed like we were clicking . - No , we were fighting . - But you liked it . And so did I . So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Be honest you have someone in your life , do n't you ? - Daddy . - Some ... - Daddy come on , let 's play water guns . - Hey . Yes . Okay . You nailed me . - Yeah . - This is my daughter , Katie . And her mom dropped her off this morning . We 're together for the weekend . I 'll tell you what , go fill the water guns , and I 'll be there in a second . So you 're divorced ? Uh , separated . But , you know , we 're heading that way . Why is that a deal breaker ? I guess I 'm just not used to baggage . Right . Other people 's baggage . We 've all got something . " Happy families are all alike ; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way . " You just quoted Tolstoy . The EMT is full of surprises . Who knew ? Yeah . Huh . Okay , look , I like you . So if you want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . You did not just do that . - Yeah . - Wow . - Thank you . - Long line . - Where 's Frederick ? - What do you mean ? I just saw him a few minutes ago . He was looking for you . I have n't seen him . Huh . You seriously do n't feel that ? Fine , take it . Repeat after me . Chango . Yemaya . Ochun . Chango . Yemaya . Ochun . Again . Chango . Yemaya . Ochun . Keep going . Chango . Yemaya . Ochun . Call the spirit to you . Esp ? ritu venga a m ? . - Esp ? ritu venga a m ? . Oh ! What the hell was that ? I knew it . This proves it . You are brujo . You have the gift . No . I do n't understand . If I have this gift , how can I go my whole life without ever realizing ... Maybe you needed to find someone like you . So you could be awakened . You , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I met you , I 've sensed it . We 're the same . I think that 's why we found each other . We 're meant to be together . Hey . How ' bout another beer ? Be right with you , sir . I 've only got three arms . That 's what you said ten minutes ago . I want my beer . I think maybe you 've had enough . Let 's get you some food . Can we get a burger on the house , please ? I did n't ask for a burger . I told you ... Hey . Let go of me ! Frederick , stop ! Frederick , stop . Let him go ! Let him go ! Wait , Frederick . Please , stop . Frederick ! Stop ! Let him go ! Okay . Okay . Just stay calm . Stay calm , okay ? It 's okay . Okay . Good to see you . Happy Fourth of July . Ingrid . Dash . Hi . Sorry . I do n't mean to be bothering you . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just , um ... How are you ? Uh , I 've been better . I am so sorry to hear about-about everything . - Your mother and ... - Thank you . Look , you do n't have to apologize for anything . I know but still . Um , Ingrid , this is ... this is gon na sound really weird . Okay ? Really weird . But ... I wanted to ask you something . Um , okay . I have this patient at the hospital . Okay ? And he 's been having these really strange symptoms . So we gave him an MRI and ... we noticed these very rare anomalies in his brain mapping . As it turns out , we 've only had one other patient who had similar anomalies . Um ... that patient was you . Me ? Yeah . Apparently we ran the scan because you were brought in with a concussion . The file says you fell off the jungle gym . Right . Yes . In third grade . I-I do remember . My mother was so upset @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm just curious if you remember having any strange symptoms yourself . Either before the accident or after . No . No strange symptoms at all . - So ... - Nope . Everything 's been really totally super-normal ever since then . Ingrid , I am not trying to pry , really . But if you experienced anything at all , - it 's extremely important ... - He 's here ! Dr . Foster . He walks among us ! He 's carving the ancient symbol of the king ! This is a warning to us all ! Oh , my God . Go ahead . Hey . I missed the show . Yeah . I 'm glad I 'm not on duty today . What happened ? Just ... Guy lost his mind . Started blabbing a bunch of nonsense . What kind of nonsense ? I do n't know . Just crazy nonsense . Do you know what the strangest part is ? Two days ago , I brought in a guy to the ER . And exact same routine the wounds , the ranting ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up like some sort of voodoo-looking shit . There 's a serious sicko out there . What do you mean , voodoo ? He had a ... shape or something carved into his chest . It looked satanic . Okay , what was he ranting about ? Why are you so interested in all this ? ' Cause it 's ... I got to tell you , - it 's creeping me out just ... - I 'm sorry . - a tiny bit . - I guess I 'm just sort of fascinated - by voodoo . Like ... - Wow . - I 'm drawn to the dark side . - You 're drawn ? Okay . Yeah , I got a lot of stories . - You do ? - Yeah . Maybe ... tell them to you over drinks ? I 'll think about it . Okay . Just do n't think about it too long . If anything I learned from this job is that life is short . You only get one . Yeah , do n't remind me . - Hey . - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going on ? I do n't know . Something happened . It was scary . Frederick , are you okay ? This guy grabbed Freya , and , uh ... - I just , uh ... - He was protecting me . Very aggressively . I 'm sorry . I 've spent so much time fighting for my life , sometimes I ... I just lose control . Well , that was n't the most joyous of Fourth of July celebrations in history . Are you okay ? Yes . Um , I have an announcement to make . As you all know , there have been a lot of changes around here . But there have also been a lot of changes with me . I do n't know what it means that I 'm the key , beyond the fact that I can open a portal to another dimension , but I 'm ready to figure it out . And I love my new job . Even though my boss just died . But ... the point is , I 'm not the same person that I was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think the sleepwalking , it 's actually been my subconscious trying to tell me that it 's time to take the next step , - so ... - Oh , my God . You are worse than Mom . Spill it . Hey . I 'm moving out . - Wait , what ? - Are you seri ... - What is wrong ? - No , Mom , nothing is wrong . Everything is right . It 's just ... it 's time for me to stand on my own . And now Frederick will have somewhere to sleep . - Mom . - Well , I think this calls for a toast . - Aw . - I wo n't be far . To Ingrid ! Aw . Too bad we missed the fireworks , right ? Shall we do the honors ? Yes . - Oh , thank you . - Cheers . - You ready ? Mm - hmm . Caelum combure . Caelum combure . Caelum combure . Caelum combure . Wow . It worked . Wow . Five minutes . I have everyone together @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joanna . - One of them Ingrid 's boss . - And ? And the EMT said there was some full-on voodoo shit . - And what does that mean ? - It means that ... we were looking for Frederick right before it happened . He said he was trying to find you . Wendy , please . Frederick did n't attack anyone . Yes , he did . You said it yourself . He attacked the drunk guy at the bar . Oh , who was messing with Freya . And Ingrid 's boss was messing with her . There 's a pattern here . We ca n't ignore it . I know my son . I know what he 's capable of , even at his worst . He 's not a killer . Mm . Cold ? Frederick . I know how you feel about me , Aunt Wendy . - Do you ? - And I do n't blame you . You 've got it all wrong . You think you know me . But I promise you , you do n't . Come back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , thank God . This is Dr . Gardiner . You did very well today . Thank you . You 're welcome . Now go to hell . Hold on . Today was just a down payment . The next installment will be $100,000 . What do you mean the next one ? I 'll call you again with further instructions . Good night , Dr . Gardiner . You know what to do next .

@@5263341 - Tony , got a second ? - What is it ? I think it 's time I stepped down . Here you go . What 's this ? Access codes to CTU and Division . You 're the new CTU director , Tony . Let me out of here right now . I know the bomb did n't go off . - I just wanted some company . - Then what are you doing out here ? - This is where I belong . - I do n't . Here . Take it . There 's cougars out there . If you see one , fire a shot in the air and it 'll take off . Roger Stanton confesses that he 's known about the bomb for weeks . You have to trust me , David . Your presidency is in jeopardy . Let me help you . No . You 'll leave now . If you resist in any way , I 'll have no choice but to place you under arrest . - You got ta give me your badge , Kate . - No . I do n't believe you 'd shoot me . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? You can go to hell , you bastard . I 'm not telling you anything . Why do you want me and my team to leave here so fast ? The bomb 's still here , is n't it ? Initiate a grid search on every outbuilding at the airport , starting at the north end , headed south . The bomb is on site . I repeat : the bomb is on site . - It 's armed . - How much time have we got ? I ca n't tell . It could be any second . Let everyone know we 'll be working in hangar 12 . We 're on standby here . Anything you need , Agent Bauer . Copy that . Right here should be fine . I need a relay here . Let me get a look at the circuit panel . They redirected the circuit . Bypass ready . - Easy , easy . - I got it , I got it . Go ahead . Let 's check out that timer switch . Hang on . Adjust the flash cap . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Got it . How 's that ? - Wait . Cap it off . I need the bypass . - It worked . We 're in good shape . - Good . George ? What are you doing here ? This is what killed me , Jack . I 'd like to be here when they lay it to rest . Got it diffused yet ? - Not yet . They 're looking at ten minutes . - Is there a timer ? - They have n't been able to read it . - It could detonate any minute ? George , they 've got it under control . There 's got ta be somewhere else you 'd rather be . I promised myself I would see this through to the end . That 's what I 'm gon na do . - You all right ? - Yeah . I 'll just take something . Damn it . Just give me a minute , OK ? - Is there a problem ? - The trigger 's tamper-proofed . I should 've seen it , but it was disguised . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 'll detonate . Are you telling me that there is no way to disarm this bomb ? That 's what I 'm telling you . Goodrich . They ca n't diffuse it . We 'll have to fly it out . I know this airport does n't accommodate jets , so I need you to find me the fastest plane you can but it 's got to be reliable . There 's a Cessna Caravan in front of hangar three . She 's rock solid , cruises at 210 . Get it . Northwest Regional ? This is Jack Bauer . I need to speak with the president . It 's urgent . Thank you . - Did you get a look at the timer ? - Yeah . - How much time have we got ? - 55 minutes . Need a ride ? - Where are you going ? - Where are you trying to get to ? - San Jose . - No kidding . That 's right where I 'm headed . Santa Clara , actually . It 's just a few minutes past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I 'm fine , thanks . - Do n't be scared . - I 'm not . - Then get in . - No point wandering around in the night . - I 'll be fine . One second you need a ride , next you do n't . I 'm sorry . It 's nice that you pulled over . It 's just that ... Get back in the car now . You do n't know how to use that thing . Get back in the car and keep driving . Bitch ! - Sir , when will you have a decision ? - When will the plane be ready ? - Ten minutes . - I 'll get back to you before then . In the meantime , prepare for the two possibilities we discussed . - And coordinate with the FAA . - Yes , sir . I want maps and charts for both scenarios . Pacific Ocean here , desert here . We 're ready to assemble . I 'll get back to you when we have a final decision . Yes , sir . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Best you can , Mike . - Yes , sir . I 'll discuss consequences of detonation in the Pacific Ocean . Lynne will do the same for the Mojave Desert . In the time available , the plane can get roughly 80 miles offshore . If it splashes down just before detonation , the bomb will go off underwater . The ocean will absorb a large portion of the radiation . However , prevailing winds would blow a moderate level of fallout back over the city of Los Angeles . Over time , there would be a high incidence of cancer and other radiation-related diseases . - But there 'll be no immediate casualty . - We ca n't be certain . The shipping lanes into the port of Los Angeles are extremely busy . In the 80 square miles off the coast of LA , the Coast Guard counts two dozen freighters flying flags from around the world , plus an unknown number of unregistered fishing or pleasure vessels . It 's likely that one or more of them would be sunk or capsized by the blast @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blast will wipe out a substantial pocket of biodiversity . Keystone species would be exterminated , the food chain would be contaminated , and the regional ecological infrastructure would collapse . Marine resources such as offshore drilling , commercial fishing , even recreational beach usage would become hazardous or impossible for many years . The ecological and economic effects , Mr President , would be devastating . - What about the desert ? - We can designate a ground zero . It 's isolated , so inhabited areas wo n't be immediately affected . Towns could be evacuated within hours without any serious long-term effects . We ca n't rule out the possibility of isolated campers and hikers , who would be killed or contaminated by the blast . If the wind shifts substantially during the next few hours , it could blow fallout over Las Vegas . The best meteorological projections indicate that that is a very , very slight possibility . Long-term effects ? An area of a few square miles around ground zero would be highly radioactive for decades , but the truth is we do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . So the overall health risk is relatively small . Sounds like the desert 's our best option . Yes , sir , we do agree with that . But there is one more thing . In the desert , ground zero has to be a precise location . A depression , below sea level and surrounded by mountains , so it could hopefully contain the fallout . Potential target sites are being researched as we speak . All right . Point is , Mr President , the airplane is n't a military craft . It does n't have any of the equipment needed to deliver a payload accurately . To ensure the necessary level of precision , a pilot will have to go down with the plane . - It 's a suicide mission . - Why ca n't we push it out the side door ? It 's too imprecise , sir . If the pilot is flying low enough to ensure accuracy , he would be killed by the blast . One man dies , Mr President , to ensure the safety of millions . - Jack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yes , sir . Jack , my people tell me that the pilot has to die . CTU came to the same conclusion . The bomb has to be put down on specific coordinates . I 'm sorry , but there is n't another way . Do we know who the pilot will be ? We have a few volunteers , sir . All of them good men . Whoever it is , tell him he has the undying gratitude of every citizen of this country . And tell him we will take care of whatever family he leaves behind . - Yes , sir . I will . - I 'll be standing by , Jack . - Call me back when the plane 's in the air . - Yes , Mr President . Funny , I do n't see any volunteers . When was the last time you flew a plane ? I can get it in the air and put it down , George . So can I . I 'm current , I 'm instrument-rated , and I 'm gon na be dead by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could be dead any minute . - I can hang on for another half-hour . If you blacked out and it went down before it got to the desert , a lot of people will die . - Come on , Jack . - I know what you 're trying to do . But I got ta say no . Agent Goodrich , this is Bauer . They chose the desert . I want you to clear air space and start immediate evacuation now . Gentlemen ! Load this bomb . We are a go ! - It 's not rated as a priority . - I do n't care . Just do it , all right ? - Yes , sir . - Thank you . All right , Mr Auda . Wait here a second . We 'll be right with you . - Agent Graves . - Tony Almeida . We 've been expecting you . - They told you what 's in the case ? - Personal effects from Ali 's safe house ? Who 's he ? His name is Yusuf Auda . His government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that got us in the safe house . We could n't refuse to bring him . - Do you trust him ? - Right now ? I do n't trust anyone . Yeah . Take the case and bring it into that conference room around the corner . - OK . - Thank you . - Tony Almeida , Director of CTU . Welcome . - Thank you . Must have had some trip . You were 10,000 miles away this morning . I 'm ready to get back to work . I understand analysis needs to be done on things seized from Syed Ali 's apartment . Yeah . Our lab needs to do some preliminary work first . I 'll have somebody get you coffee . I 'll be with you in a moment , OK ? Thank you . The lab is ready for decryption . Good . Look , I might need somebody to do a little handholding here . That man 's name over there is Yusuf Auda . Officially , he 's a visiting intelligence agent entitled to full cooperation . Unofficially , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to see . Make sure anybody you assign understands . - Sure . - OK . I 'm gon na deal with this Mr Auda myself . If you need any help , call Jacobs . - Tony told you to assign someone to Auda . - I 'm assigning myself . You 're still not comfortable working with me , are you ? Just do your job , Carrie . So , what have we got ? Most of it 's pretty innocuous . There is one thing . This was well-concealed . Obviously it was of great importance to Ali . We tried to read it , but it 's encrypted . We do n't have that technology in the field . OK . I 'll get our people on it right away , see what they can find . - OK . - Thanks . Sure . - Almeida . - Tony , have you found Kim yet ? - No . We 're still working on it . - I 'm running out of time . I understand , but we got our hands full @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ off ... - Tony , I 'm flying it . - What ? ! I 'd like to speak with my daughter while I still got time . There 's got ta be somebody else to fly it . Somebody that does n't have a family or at least no kids . I did n't have time to take a census . I ca n't order anyone to do this . Please , Tony , you 've got ta find her . - I 'll find her . - Tony , one other thing . Yeah ? In my apartment , there 's a safe . Inside is my will and a letter I wrote to Kim in case something ever happened to me . I 'll make sure she gets it , Jack . - Thanks . - I 'll get back to you . - You all right , honey ? - I could use a lift . What are you doing way out here ? I was on a date and we parked . He got a little out of hand , so I got out . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Where would you like to go ? I have an aunt in San Jose . You were on a date , it did n't work out , so you 're going to your aunt 's in San Jose . Honey , your business is your business , but I 'm not an idiot , OK ? I know . It 's just been crazy , and it 's a long story , and I 'm kind of in a little bit of trouble . If you have a cellphone , I actually really need to make a call . - To whom ? - My father . We synchronised this with the timer on the bomb . Thank you . Good luck . So the plane has some automatic pilot thing ? Actually , no . It 'll have to be flown out to a very precise location . So the pilot ... Oh , my God . Who 's it gon na be ? Jack Bauer . Jack ! I 'm sorry , Miss Warner , but you 're gon na have to stay here . Cessna 47 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 're clear on runway three . - Roger that , tower . Thank you . Here 's your preliminary draft for your statement tomorrow . - Yes . Right . Thank you . - How 's the plane doing , Mike ? - It 's at 3,000 feet and climbing . - Out of the city yet ? It 's too soon for that , but they 'll clear the main population centres in ten minutes . This is a good start , but I want to go over it again . Call Davis . I want him to get Air Force One ready as soon as possible . Sir ? - Do you mind if I ask where you 're going ? - Los Angeles . Mr President , if I may speak frankly , I 'm not sure that 's a good idea . It may be a little too " hands-on " , for lack of a better term . The people want to feel that you 're managing events , not caught up in them . And , in any case , I doubt if the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ works for me . I do n't work for them . Mr President . Sir , I do agree with Mike . Once word gets out that this bomb has gone off , there 's bound to be civil unrest . I do n't think you should be associated with that . The whole country will be traumatised by this bomb , especially the people in Los Angeles . I 'm gon na reassure them that everything is under control . Understood ? Yes , sir . I 'll call Davis immediately . Thank you . We 'll leave for the airport now . Mike , who ended up flying the plane ? Did you get a name ? Yes , sir . Jack Bauer . I 'd have told you sooner , but I figured you had enough on your mind already . Cessna 47 Fox , climb to 10,000 feet , 0-8-niner . Roger . 0-8-niner . 10,000 feet . Expect final vectors in five minutes . I copy . Agent Bauer , I 've got Tony Almeida . I 'm patching him through . Hold on one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Yeah , I can hear you . We found Kim . She 's on the other line . Thank you , Tony . Good work . Have you told her anything ? No . I did n't know if you 'd want me to . OK . - Put her through , will ya ? - All right . - Kim ? - Dad ! Finally . Oh , my God , are you OK ? - I 'm OK , sweetheart . Are you all right ? - Yes , I 'm fine . Thank God . You 've had a hell of a day , have n't you ? - Yeah . What 's that noise ? Where are you ? - I 'm in a plane . A plane ? Why ? There 's something I 've got ta tell you . It 'll be hard to hear , so I need you to stick with me . We found the bomb . It was wired in a way that made it impossible to diffuse it . We needed someone to fly it over the desert @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That someone turned out to be me . How are you getting off the plane ? I 'm not , sweetheart . The bomb has to be dropped in a very specific area . There was no other choice . I 'm sorry . But ... Dad ? - Dad , no ! No , you ca n't do this to me ! - Kim . - There has to be somebody else ! - I did n't have any other choice . - Kim , I need you to listen to me . - I 'm sorry . I 'm so sorry . - Sweetheart , what are you sorry for ? - Oh , God , everything . I 've been so mean and so bad to you . Honey , anything that ever happened between us ... it was never your fault . I love you just the way you are . I do n't ever want you to change , you understand that ? I love you more than anything in the world . Kim , can you still hear me ? Yes . Honey , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you to be happy . That 's all I 've ever wanted for you . I want you to try and grow up and be the kind of person that would have made your mom proud , OK ? Oh , God . Promise me that . I promise . Honey , I 've got ta start focusing on what I 'm doing up here . I 'm running out of time . I 'm gon na have to say goodbye . I love you more than anything in the world and I will always be with you , OK ? Remember that . I 'm proud of you ... and I love you . - I love you , too , sweetheart . - No . Goodbye . I 'm sorry , honey . What do you want to do ? - I got ta get out of here . - What do you mean ? Why ? I was supposed to get out of LA , but it does n't matter any more . No , wait a minute . This is crazy . Wait . Just wait @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm OK . I need to be alone . You OK ? We found Kim . - Jack get a chance to say goodbye ? - Yeah . So what 'd you find ? We decrypted Ali 's hard drive . It 's a recording of conversation that took place four months ago . Conversation between who ? Syed Ali and high-ranking government officials from these three countries . What we 're saying is that these three countries not only knew about the bomb , but they bought it and supplied it to Syed Ali ? - Yeah . That 's what it looks like . - How sure are we about this translation ? We were rushed , it needs to be refined , but the substance of it is accurate . We 'll need voice authentication on all four of these men . - I 've already got people working on it . - Get Division involved as well . - Northwest Regional ? - Tony Almeida at CTU . I need to speak to the president about today 's terrorist attack . I 'll transfer you . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recording of Syed Ali collaborating with high-ranking officials from three Middle Eastern countries in preparation for today 's attack . - When did this come to our attention ? - Just within the last few minutes . - Who else knows ? - Our Division headquarters , sir . They have ties to the other agencies , which means everybody knows . I tagged it with a section-four security , sir . But I did think it was important to get going on the authentication process quickly . - How long will that be ? - We should have confirmation in an hour . Let me ask you another question , Mr Almeida . Why would Syed Ali record a conversation like this in the first place ? Half the time these people do n't trust each other any more than they trust us . My guess is Ali wanted some ammunition to protect himself , in case any of these three countries ever turned against him . All right . Thank you , Mr Almeida . I 'll let you get back to work . Good job . Please @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you , Mr President . - Thank you . Three governments in the Middle East may be behind this bomb . Yes , sir . I gathered that . We could be at war soon , Mike . And once it begins ... there 's no guarantee it 'll be limited to these three countries . I 've been thinking all day about something Lincoln said during the Civil War . " I do n't claim to have controlled events but confess plainly that events have controlled me . " It 's bad enough that someone tried to smuggle a nuclear weapon in here . Worse that they succeeded . But once this bomb actually goes off , my options will narrow very , very quickly . This is Cessna 47 Fox . I have just crossed over to the low desert . I 'm on final line to target . Any change in my coordinates ? - Negative . They 're confirmed as given . - Copy that . Confirming autopilot 0-8-niner . - Coordinates are now locked . - Roger . Over . - Do n't move ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad enough . You do n't have to shoot me . - What the hell are you doing here ? - I felt like taking a ride . How the hell did you get on this plane ? Was n't that hard . To them , I 'm still head of CTU . Son of a bitch . Brought something for ya . It 's a parachute . I can see what is it , George . I already told you , I 'm taking this plane in . That might have made sense back on the ground , but let 's face it , Jack , the hard part 's over . You took off , cleared the city . What 's left but flying straight and level and taking it into a dive ? Am I right ? Unless of course maybe you wan na die . - What are you talking about ? - You 've had a death wish since Teri died . The way things have been going for you the past year , this probably does n't look like such a bad idea . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , one of the greatest heroes of all time . Leave your troubles behind . This could be the easy way out , huh ? You still got a life , Jack . You wan na be a real hero , here 's what you do . You get back down there and you put the pieces together . Find a way to forgive yourself for what happened to your wife , you make things right with your daughter , and you go on serving your country . That 'd take some real guts . Go on , Jack . You got 12 minutes . What 's it gon na be ? You wan na live or not ? - You really think you can do this ? - Yes . You are absolutely sure you can do this ? Jack , I 'm supposed to do this . You need to maintain this heading and this airspeed . The second the LAD reads a minute and a half , you initiate a dive at a 30-degree angle . - Wo n't that get me in early ? - That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bomb is already in the depression before it goes off . I got it . Thank you , George . Thank you . Get your chute on and get the hell outta here . - I 'm staying with you as long as possible . - I got it together . I 'm fine . This is not negotiable . I 'm bailing out four minutes before impact . That should get me far enough away . This is Jack Bauer . Patch me through to CTU . - Yes , sir . Right away . - Almeida . Tony , this is Jack . I need you to get a helicopter in the air immediately . We got a change of plans here . I 'm bailing out . George is taking the plane down . What 's George doing there ? We need authentication from three sources for each voice . Division has public speeches from ministers . See if you can get his voice on phone taps . Michelle . Send a chopper to trail Jack 's plane . Mason got on board . Do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the way . We need that chopper to pick Jack up . I 'll explain later . Mr Almeida , may I know what you found on the hard drive ? - You do n't have security clearance . - Mr Almeida . I and my country have shown good faith in helping you to find Syed Ali 's safe house . I 'm asking you to do the same by giving me some idea of what 's going on . I 'm sorry , but I ca n't tell you at this time . You Americans . - We Americans what ? - Nothing . Come . - Sir , General Bowden 's here to see you . - Of course . Show him in . - Mr President . - General Bowden . I understand the bomb is over the Mojave now . It may detonate without causing loss of life . - That is our hope . - That 's wonderful news . - Congratulations on your achievement . - Thank you , General . Perhaps it 's appropriate to begin discussing the matter of retaliation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Joint Chiefs have been assuming the bomb was the work of Second Wave . It appears they had the backing of three governments . - That 's not definite yet , General . - No , sir . I understand that . But for planning purposes , we should proceed as if it is . I request authority to activate plans to invade the countries in question . Activate ? There are plans already in existence ? We have plans for every conceivable contingency , Mr President . I see . So what exactly do you mean by activate ? Putting the relevant military units on alert , beginning logistical operations , coordinating sources regarding the probable level of resistance to an invasion by American forces . Talk of an invasion is premature . I agree , Mr President . This is in the planning stages only . Activate your plan , Colonel . But take no steps to implement without my direct authorisation . Of course , Mr President . Lynne . We may be talking about World War III . OK . I 'm set . George @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of ? Oddly enough , I think I got everything squared away . I even got to spend a little time with my son . I did n't even know you had one . - I 'm glad you got to see him . - Yeah . Me , too . I do n't think he was particularly , but ... Actually , I would n't mind if you checked in on him . Of course I will . - It 's time . - Yeah . Yeah . Mr President . At this altitude , the explosion should be visible on the eastern horizon . I do n't know if you want to take a look . Three , two ...

Where were their backups ? They had to back off . They thought they were being made . By the time they caught up , this is what they found . But they had on a wire . They could hear what was going on in the car . The wire cut out . The equipment ... The reception 's for crap out here . We 're sorry about your guys . How much was the buy money ? Thirty-five hundred in marked bills . For five plastic guns . Yeah . We got set up . They had one or more accomplices waiting here to ambush us . They took the dough and scrammed , probably through those woods . We 're checking the bridges and ferries . We 'll need to talk to the backups . They 're pretty shook-up . Well , we 'll make it quick . Paint job , the attention to detail . Got a real weight to it . These are L.E.D . Light bolts . They use ' em on custom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ - Detective ... Price ? - Yes / - Williams . I 'm Robert Goren . This is Detective Bishop . We 're sorry about your partners . - We just have a couple of questions ... - We heard that they had a family , kids ? Yeah . Gilman had a boy , and Lewis had two girls . Okay . We 'll keep that in mind . How 'd you hook up with the punks ? Gilman put the word out he was in the market for firepower . Those two punks come up to him , sold him a.38 SW . They said they had five more pieces to sell . They wanted six grand . Gilman said he needed a day to get the money up . The punks said , " No , the deal has to go down right now . " So they came back with 3,500 , bottom price . We jumped on it . We did n't even know who these guys were . - All we had were their street names . - Looks like Lewis was shot first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ negotiating the deal . Single bullet , point blank to the back of the head . The shot came from outside . - Could I get a close-up of , uh , his hands ? - Why ? What do you see ? I do n't know . Just some interesting ulcerations on his knuckles and finger webs . - He carries a backup piece ? - Yeah , a.22 caliber . - Well , someone kept a souvenir . - Over here . We have a single set of tracks leading into the woods . There 's another road about a half mile through there . Oh , toe , knee prints . This is where he was waiting . There 's no pacing , no cigarette butts . He was concentrated on this . He drew it with his finger over and over again . They found a witness who was on a secondary road last night . Said he saw a male black come out of the woods with a bicycle . Now we know how he made his getaway . Well , can we go ? @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Underbrush . Even with a flashlight , how did this guy find his way back to the other road ? After you , Detective . We got a pop on the prints of one of the dead perps , Darren Exree . Lived with his uncle . Uncle does n't know anything about it . We 're still trying to chase down Darren 's friends , but no one 's admitting to knowing him . Nobody wants to get too close to a cop killing . Ballistics confirmed the same gun killed Detective Lewis and the kid sitting behind him . A nine mil . Latent checked the casings . No prints . Thanks . Do you mind leaving it on my desk ? - She does n't wan na get left in his dust . - I like her hustle . - You 're supposed to be on leave . - With two dead cops ? This is the rest stop . This is where the suspect was seen coming out of the woods with his bicycle . According to the tracks that he left , he got from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , no path . But he found his way through the woods , underbrush , gullies , all in the dark . Just the stars to guide him . He , uh , drew it in the ground while waiting for the ambush . It 's a ... a memory guide , uh , to orient himself in , uh ... in-in three dimensions . It 's interesting how his mind works . We 'll give him a merit badge when we find him . Anything on surveillance tape ? It was mostly inaudible . The sound kept dropping off . There was one thing . Yo . Who 's that ? You got somebody on us ? What are you talking about ? You need to chill out . I just do n't like cars riding on my ass . - The cough . - The dead perp we have n't identified . This might explain the cough . It 's the labs on his hands . " Hexamethylene diisocyanates , acetate , chromium traces throughout the body , with higher concentrations in the lungs . " These are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hands are chrome holes . Then the kid worked in a custom auto shop . How many of those can there be in Staten Island ? I told you I 'd get you out . Took you long enough , baby . They were about to send me upstate . I got something for you . Check this . This you 'll like even better . No , no . Not here , all right ? I got ta show you how to use it , then we 're ready . You always think of everything , baby . Well , just you . I just think of you . DIXON 'S CUSTOM AUTO STATEN ISLAND , NEW YORK THURSDAY , SEPTEMBER 4 Yeah . That 's Levon . Levon Marcus . He started working for me last December . I did n't see this coming at all . - How about his friends ? Do you know this guy ? / - No . - We 'll need a home address . - He moved last month . I was supposed to redo his paperwork . We got busy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Then we 'll take the old address . I think I threw it away . You know , when Levon used your paint booth , he ... he always wore this gear ? Oh , all my people do . I do n't like paying fines . Because he had a really bad cough . I 'm sure you noticed it . I mean , the autopsy found ... What was it that was in his lungs ? Diisocyanates , acetate and chromium in high concentrations . And he was only here for six months . He was always wearing his gear . So how 'd he get so messed up ? I mean , it was like he was breathing fumes day and night . I do n't know . I 'm no doctor . What 's that up there ? A sleeping bag ? He said he needed the extra money , and I needed a security guard . If Levon slept here , who slept there ? I do n't know . I told Levon he could n't have anybody up here . This must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his hands ? - No , he 's got 10 thumbs . So the houseguest did the guns . He used this to shape a piece of metal . Make a tool . Put a lot of work into it . He did n't use it in the ambush . Maybe the killings were the first step . He 's got something else in the works . There were prints from a dozen individuals in the attic , none of which popped , and no usable prints on the spray can or the tape . That 's not good enough . This cop killer did not just fall from the sky . Somebody knows him . What do you got for me ? I 'm not sure . The lab made it up using the form that was nailed to the attic floor . Our missing man , he made one just like it . Do n't spend all day on it . I 'm pretty sure that this is a handle . The rest of it ... a burglary tool . Some kind of Slim Jim for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a window frame . Pop open a latch . But you 'd have to snake that end between the window and the frame ... before you could slide it up . It 'd never go in . You 're right . The window would have to be open ... for this to be set into place . A man rigging it on the inside for someone on the outside to use later . You 'd need two people . But if the killer had an accomplice , why not use him on the ambush ? Maybe he was n't available . The punks insisted on bottom price . Thirty-five hundred bucks . You know , I have an idea where we can find those marked bills .

So she 's still paying her rent . She 's still using fingertip moistener .

She 's a counter . It does n't ring any bells . These places go through a lot of girls . I can see how . - How 'd the perps get in ? - Do n't know , but I can tell you how they got out . The fire escape 's right out there . It 's a perfect fit . So were Bonnie and Clyde . They killed 10 people . These two are up to nine . It 's rusted shut . They had to jump . These scuff marks ... Someone took a tumble . Utica Avenue . There 's a subway station a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ girl to show around . One of them might be limping , probably the girl . These friends of yours ? - It 's their money got stolen . - I just wan na talk to you ! Look , we got ta have an understanding . The people that did this , they belong to us . They 're ours . If you have any questions or information , you just call me . A subway clerk made Tamara . She was limping hard , getting help from a male , black , in his 20s . The clerk did n't see which train they took . We have her photos out to the bus stations , Amtrak , airports , car rentals . Assuming they 're smart , they 'd be laying low . They do n't have a lot of options . The boyfriend was sneaking into the grandmother 's place to sleep . He bunked in the car shop . He 's a stray . He 's homeless . We have a unit sitting on her grandmother 's place . There 's an ex-boyfriend in Pennsylvania @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ months . He did n't sound too heartbroken . Here 's another boyfriend she might reach out to ... Eugene Thomas . Tamara , uh , filed an assault complaint against him last year . She dropped it the next day . Eugene works for a private ambulance company . Tamara 's ankle 's got ta be hurtin ' pretty good by now . They would n't risk a hospital . When 's the last time you saw Tamara ? Geez , you guys . About six months ago , at a club . I bought her a drink . I went on my merry way . Oh , so the two of you are on merry terms ? Bygones are bygones . Your dispatcher said that you were ... Do ... Do you wan na meet her ? Because I 'm sure ... she 'd love to meet someone in the medical profession . - Wh-What are you goin ' in my bag for ? - Because I can . You 're low on ACE bandages .

What 's his problem ? Well , his problem is that he 's a drug dealer , he 's short 400,000 . Tamara stole it from him . What 's that got to do with me ? Well , someone told him that you were her friend ... and that you might know where she is . Where the hell did he hear that from ? You know , uh , you can tell us what you know now , or y-you can deal with him later . Okay , look ... But I can not lose my job over this . Look , I was just trying to help the bitch .

We 'll need a record of her calls . We do n't provide phones . There 's a pay phone at the corner . Thank you . We 'll need the LUDS on the pay phone . The room 's all yours . You done ?

It was off . Some people like a warm room . They unscrewed the fluorescent light and moved this table lamp in here . After a week of killings , nothing like soft lights and a warm bath . You know , Tamara 's shoplifting beef in ... in Queens ... was for extra-strength headache pills . Some people get headaches from fluorescent lights and air conditioning . She did n't seem to mind the lights in the interrogation room . They were n't her pills ? Did ... Did you , uh ... Did you notice anything unusual about him when he checked in ? He asked for directions . He asked me if I knew a martial arts store off Times Square ... one with a big yellow sun on the outside . You remember that martial arts store , Happy Sun ? Sure .

Davis 's rap sheet in Florida does n't include any violence toward women . - Not even one complaint . - Hmm . Abuse might not be what 's binding Tamara to Davis . Then what is ? Love ? Maybe for him . But Tamara 's an abused woman . She 's manipulative . She might be conditioned to only respect men that hit her . / Hmm . You know , when she was at that pancake house , she did n't eat anything , she did n't buy anything , she did n't leave with anything . - Where are you going ? - Out for pancakes . I do n't see anything new here . Obviously , arresting Mr . Davis has n't brought you any closer to fabricating a case against my client . You 're free to bring a 210-40 motion . I plan to .

It needs to be filled out before we can transfer you to the Department of Corrections . - What is it ? - It 's just a form .

We have work to finish . - What are you doing ? - Meet the new boss . You were walking through a red forest . While you 're busy saving mankind , someone has to figure out how to save you . It matters what we do here this time . It 's over , Cole . The paradox has destroyed your ability to travel back to your time . You live here now . It was Aaron . That 's how they found us . Mr . Ramse 's going to try and stop you . And when he does , I 'm gon na kill him . - - ? These arms of mine ? Where are you right now ? Somewhere warm , safe ... next to someone you love ? Now , what if all that was gone and the only thing you could do is survive ? You would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ things ... horrible things ... until you lose that last thing you have left ... yourself . But what if you could take it back ... all of it ? A reset switch ? You 'd hit it , right ? You 'd have to , even if you did n't want to ... ? These arms of mine ? Because sometimes the choice is n't even yours . It 's fate . Did n't think I could find you ? Thought you could hide ? You think this is funny ? You 're ... you 're angry with me ? You destroyed everything in my life . You 're no savior , Cole . You 're just a savage . You want to know what makes a savage ? Seeing shit no kid should ever see and then doing the same thing to survive . I was just a boy , watching the world die , alone . Now I know who I have to thank for that . Who are they ? Hmm ? Who are they ? Aaron , just tell us who you 've been talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but not with him . Come with me . Stop this , please . Please . Is it growing here ? What 's it coming from ? If botany were my theater of expertise , Mr . Whitley , none of us would be alive . We 'd all be lying dead in an empty greenhouse . Temporal interference of some kind , or could merely be a random sampling of the time stream caused by electromagnetic buildup , an anomaly . This is not random . You know , I 've been thinking . As soon as my hands heal , I want you to give me the injections . I want you to send me to 2015 . And if you survived , where would that get us ? The mission is over , Mr . Whitley . Then what are we doing here , hmm ? The men who attacked us were sending a message . Focus on our perimeter , double our security . We do n't have the manpower to fend off an attack , not after Spearhead . Look , Jones ... if you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should shut this thing down ... move on . Well , their numbers are thinning . Looks like your message was received , which is surprising , ' cause it was so subtle . But still , I would n't take it as a sign that they 're not ready for a fight . If you believe their sentries have been diminished , why not a direct assault ? Sentries ? You use the term " sentries . " That is so old-timey . Where are you from exactly ? Hmm ? Listen , friend , I thought they were light the first time I went in , and they took out half my crew , hence our little collaboration , but trust me when I tell you they are lean but mean . I think you will find us formidable . Oh , well , no doubt , but I do not want that place all shot up . After you 're done with your thing , it 's mine . Our deal will be honored , Mr . Deacon , as long as this plan of yours is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gon na see this coming . This is n't something I want to do , but I will . And you know that . I just wanted to save you . Who are they ? There 's a woman . She 's the only one I ever saw . They know it 's coming . They 're planning for it . How do they release the virus ? I do n't know . They 're preparing for something . She said it was " the coming of the 12 . " What else ? They financed a project in Colorado . They 're gon na hide . Some kind of facility ... that 's where they 'll be when the world dies . Ramse . You ever meet a man named Ramse ? Mm-mm . All right , how do we find them ? Markridge . The woman 's one of their key investors . They 'll kill me for this ... and then him ... and then you . It makes sense . It makes sense that they 'd finance the company that creates the plague . We need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ key we 've been missing . We ca n't let him go . He knows more . Aaron ! Ah ! Oh , my God . - Oh , my God ! - Whoa , hey ! We got to get out of here now ! We just ca n't leave him here to die ! Cassie , he made his choice ! Come on ! No ! Cassie ! No ! Cassie , I 'm sorry . What happened was n't your fault . Aaron ... Betrayed us . He betrayed me . Yeah , but it 's not that simp ... We have work to finish . We have to focus . That woman , one of Markridge 's key investors ... Yeah . ... chances are she knows the new CEO . You got to be kidding me . Who are all these people ? Doctors , shareholders . They 're all here for the keynote address . They all want to know where the new CEO is gon na lead Markridge . Leland Goines , my father , was just a man . But what kind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a wise man , and , most importantly , a family man . Except that my father was none of those things . No . My father was only ever a Markridge man . I love you , Dad . Miss you . It 's why we 're all here today , is n't it ? Not to eulogize , but to capitalize . Through continued advancements in bioengineering , through government contracts , through strategic partnerships and a renewed push into pharmaceutical retail , we will realize my father 's vision for Markridge , and we will transcend it . They love her . It looks like she finally got the dosage right on those meds . One more thing . The dodo ... silly thing . Could n't fly , too fat , flapped its wings futilely ... into extinction . My father created Markridge as a place to defy the order of things , to ignore the rules , to laugh at Mother Nature and spit in the face of Father Time . Beginning today , Markridge will start repairing the damage that men like my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... we will give new birth to what man has so arrogantly made extinct . The lease is up . Time to give the world back to its rightful owners ... the animals ! The lions and tigers and bears ! The furry-faced caretakers . Let 's get to her before they kill her . Yeah . This year , the dodo . Next year , the unicorn . Excuse me . Sorry . No , sorry . Jennifer . Otter Eyes , back from thin air . We need to talk . That whole Night Room thing ... what a rabbit hole . I was off my meds , super cray . Like , I saw things , like you disappearing before my eyes . Lots of nuts in that bar . I 'm all better now . You sure about that ? Because the dodo bird ... Oh , my God , those guys are such dicks . I just wanted to see their faces when they realized I set their money on fire . I have other plans for my company . So you 're not cloning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a liar . I hate you . Jennifer , we need your help . There 's an investor in Markridge , a real power player . We 're trying to find out who it is . She talks too much . They 've probably made key investments that have led to significant advancements ... Ah . Bloop , blop . ... in your father 's work . Blippity-blah . That 's all I hear when your face hole opens . I do n't have time for you crazy bullshit . There 's too much at stake , and my patience is gone . Ethan Seki , venture capitalist ... genius . That 's who you 're looking for . Has a gift , knows things ... when to invest , when not to . That 's Ramse . That 's him ? Yeah . He looks exactly the same . I do n't know how that 's possible . Maybe it 's Jones 's injections . You said ... said that they make it so time moves around you . Maybe they have an effect on cellular aging . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He 's looking for an intro . Raritan Valley ... Raritan Valley National Laboratory ? That 's it . Called about it today . Today . What is it ? We need to leave , now . Jennifer , thank you , again . It 's done . He knows . What 's Raritan ? It 's where they built the machine that sent me here ... Project Splinter . What does Ramse want with it ? My mission begins with that facility . It 's the only thing that can stop their plan . He wants to destroy it . If he does , it 'll protect the future and his son . What are you seeing ? I 'm trying to remember the future ... my past . Your longing for your son will soon be over . I ca n't ... remember his face . We 're coming to the end . It 's natural to be afraid . Who 's that ? Your security . He will accompany you to Raritan . I do n't need him . Today is a great day , but we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ research made your existence here possible , but now their role in this is finished . The circle is completing , tightening with each action . It 's not completed till I get to that machine . It 's been a long time . We had to allow their research to progress without interference . That meant sacrificing influence . It 's a delicate balance , and it ends today . Your entry into Project Splinter will expose us , but it 's necessary . As you know , it 's a difficult place to get into . They 're ready . Gentlemen , prepare to witness Mother Nature at her finest . The animals are drawn to the subsonic frequency of the Core . Mm-hmm . W ... Look , just trust me . For years at Spearhead , this was a huge headache for me , and this many all at once ... that place is going dark . Let 's see what you got . As long as you hold up your end of the bargain . I 'm sorry . What was that again ? You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Spearhead . The grid 's gone haywire . The Core shut down . It overheated . How 's that possible ? Something blocked the exhaust . The system crashed . This is it . They 're coming . Okay . Initiate splinter sequence . Did it work ? 28 years . Ca n't know for sure , though , can we ? I do n't think the data 's lying . We have achieved temporal displacement and have found a way to make it incredibly boring . I know , I know . Progress is a game of inches , and leaps and bounds are only in hindsight , I 've been around long enough to understand that , but it 's like Kat always used to say , " You know , man , sometimes ... " science is literally like watching paint dry . " Oh , we 're ready , man . We 're ready for a living specimen , and I 'm not talking about a plant . I 'm talking about a primate subject . Distortion of time and space and its effect on plants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter in states of flux . - You could kill anything ... - It 'll work . It 'll work . This came for you , sir . The money has landed . Everybody out . Let 's go . You too , man . You sure ? I can help with the dog and pony show . Not this time , you ca n't . I 'll finish the logs in the morning . Right through here , these exhaust tunnels are the way in . Let 's go . Katarina ... What are you gon na do with that ? Jones . What is this place ? That 's home . That 's a lot of security ... more than we ever saw at a Markridge facility . How the hell do we get in ? Exhaust tunnels . Mr . Seki , it is a great pleasure to finally meet you , sir . - It works ? - Oh , yeah . Yeah , to the degree I mentioned . I mean , we ca n't bring anything backwards , right ? ' Cause that 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had extraordinary success sending things forwards . The potential is limitless . You 've received the payments , right ? Very generous , yes . The advancements it 'll garner are incalculable , but , sir , I need to know what you 're doing here . What are you planning ? This is my life 's work . You 've made the arrangements ? You will have full , unauthorized access to my machine , yes . The item . This took a lot to procure . Mr . Seki , this is beyond dangerous . Thank you . Yeah , okay , man , well , you know , everything is set , as per your request . Are you sure you want to do this ? Thank you for your work , Dr . Jones . Security breach ! Evacuate through the tunnels ! We need the woman . The rest are meaningless . Tunnels secured ! Nine men down ! We 've got nine men down at least . The doors to the chamber secured . We need to get to the tunnels . We 'll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are you doing ? Come on . Come on . The machine 's this way . Shit . I 'm guessing that 's not there in 2043 . Okay , we 'll split up . Better one of us reaches the machine than neither . All right . Go down this corridor , down the hallway , down the stairs . The machine 's a few doors in . If you run into Ramse , be careful . I do n't really know him anymore . I do n't know what he 's capable of . You ready ? You 're walking through a red forest . You 're walking through a red forest . The grass is tall . Most of the blood has washed away . Do n't move . Cole . Do n't . You 're alive . Tokyo , I thought ... You killed me ? I thought Tokyo was as far as you ever got . Now I know . This whole time ... it was you . Why ? You 're still asking that question ? This ... this place ... without me coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't even want me there in 2043 . And it was mine . Hey . Hey . Easy . It took time travel to create time travel . That 's how it works . There are no straight lines , brother . So now you want to destroy it ? No . I want to go home ... to my son . I 'm done here . If this were really about your son ... you would n't want him to grow up just to die . You 'd let him go . You would n't kill an entire world . Foster found a cure . We 'll find another one . That is our world , not this . I spent the last 28 years living with ghosts . Our only future ... is the future . Is that what you 've become ... someone who will kill 7 billion to save one ? - You 'd do the same thing . - No , I would n't . For her ? You 're gon na tell me ... you risking your life coming back here this whole time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her . I love my son . He deserves a future . I did what I had to . Now you ... pull the trigger . Ah , your wonder machine is right through there . They 're about to reboot their Core , reroute the exhaust system . We 'll be back online in 20 , 19 , 18 , 17 ... Three , two , one . Core reboot . Do n't move . Hello , again . Uh ... I would put that down if I was you . Apologies , Mr . Deacon , but you 're looking at someone who has nothing to live for . We represent the future , madam . We do not wish to be relegated to the past . Then stand down . That we can not do . No more killing . Let the people of this facility go . They are no opposition . And in return ? Is this what you came for ? Yes . It 's yours . Do n't believe her . She killed everyone at Spearhead for this thing . She 'll never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pay for it . You ca n't change the past . Nobody can . All that matters is what happens here ... in this time . Let them go . You let them walk , the machine is yours , or ... I 'll kill everyone in this room . You were my brother . I know . I thought I killed you . I lived with that guilt for a long time . Killing you again ca n't be the last thing I do here . Did n't have to be this way . Sometimes you 're out of moves . Atari . Atari . Whoa . It 's all right . It 's all right . Easy . How is it all right exactly ? Put the gun down . This is him ? Ramse , the Witness ? - The Witness ? - It 's not that simple . You think I 'm the Witness . Do it , Cole . I 'm not doing anything . Shoot him . - No . - Easy . I 'm not the Witness . Bullshit . Cassie , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " ? He 's killing everyone . It 's about his son . I can talk to him . Tell me , Ramse ... can we talk about this ? You , put the gun down now . Do n't ! Do n't do anything . Cassie , put the gun down . Please . He made his choice . No ! Cass ! Disarm them and let them go . Wait . Uh , I would not recommend that . They are going to be a problem . For you , not us . Marcus . - There 's no exit wound . - Cassie . Tell me what to do . I 'm bleeding internally . You need help . We need to call someone . They wo n't make it in time . Send her to Jones . We 're both gon na die here . She 'll save her . She wo n't save me . - You inject her with that . - That could kill her . She 's gon na die here anyway , man . What are you doing ? I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work . Come on . - You okay ? - Mm-hmm . Good-bye . I 'm gon na see you soon . I do n't think so . You make it back there ... you find my son , all right ? Tell him I tried to protect him . I tried . The 12 are ready . All 12 ? All healthy ? Would you like to see them ? Oh , beautiful . At last , the next cycle has begun . In 28 years , they 'll be ready . This is quite the undertaking . It has to be . Nothing is more important . The cycle is complete . Make sure it is ready . You 're certain of all this ? The Witness has spoken . But what of Jose Ramse ? On this day , November 11th of 2015 , history will show that Ethan Seki will be found dead beside the accelerator he helped finance . His circle will come to an end . And James Cole ? James Cole will flee into obscurity , his future unknown to us . All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , because there is nothing more powerful than fate . What are you doing ? No one has to die . We 'll find another way . We 'll find another way . We will need her . Lock her up . Come with me . Where 's Cole ? Did he go in that thing ? Yes , and he 'll never come back . You were saying ? What is this ? Cassie . The virus ... is n't there a better way ? Something more reliable ? The release of the virus is out of our hands , exactly as it should be . What an extraordinary itinerary ... around the world , 12 cities in just a few months . Tell me this trip is for pleasure . Not exactly . I have work to finish .

I 'm a big fan . There 's , uh , more light over there . I prefer the dark . You obviously got my note . And the money . $500 to meet you alone , ten minutes . It 's very generous . There 's more where that came from . I have a job to offer you , Mr . Monk . It will take you one night . Not even one night . Two hours . I 'm willing to pay you $20,000 for your trouble . My name is Derek Bronson . Bronson ? Bronson technologies . I , I thought he , you ... You thought I was dead . Most days , I wish I was . I was ballooning solo up the coast . I 'd done it a thousand times . That day , seven years ago , the trade wind shifted . Everybody assumed I was lost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ island west of Guam . And you stayed there for seven years ? I could 've come back years ago , but ... I got sick . Would you like to hear about the job ? Yes , of course . But first , I have a couple of questions . Um , sick is a funny word . Could mean anything from a mild headache to ... When I say sick , I mean sick . Mr . Monk ... I am a leper . There you are . I was getting worried about you . Just get in . Get in . Start the car ! - Well , what happened ? - Tell you later . Let 's get out of here . What are you doing ? Unlock the door ! - It 's a new car . - Oh , Natalie . Please ! It must be this button .

Is that kerosene ? Light me . - What ? - For the love of god , light me ! Okay , Mr . Monk , I 'm not gon na light your hand on fire . Fine . You know what ? You know what ? Get out .

The worst possible thing that could ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a leper . - And I survived . - Exactly . Worst moment of my life is behind me now . I 'm free . Right . Wait . Okay , now I 'm free . Um , actually ... Mr . Monk , it 's not completely over . Uh , do n't be mad . But I talked to Mr . Bronson . You did what ? What ? He called here this morning . The leper ? He called me ? On what phone ? On this , on this phone ? Yes . Mr . Monk , you ca n't catch anything over the phone . Oh , uh , and now , all of the sudden , you 're an expert on lepers ? Okay . You know what , Mr . Monk ? He 's a nice man , all right ? He 's in pain . He was crying his eyes out . And , okay , listen to me . He upped his offer . He said he would pay you $25,000 . All you have to do is meet him again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you . No ! That 's it ? That 's your argument . Okay , let 's go through it . A , whatever he 's asking us to do is probably illegal .

Let 's just see what he recommends , okay ? I mean , it ca n't hurt to listen , right ? $25,000 . You okay ? Are you holding your breath ? Is that Randy ? Oh , my god . That is so funny . Not funny in a " ha , ha " way , but funny in an " oh , boy , " this 'll really embarrass him " way . Miss Teeger ? Sorry to keep you waiting . I 'm ... I 'm Dr . Polanski . Hi . / Hi .

Well , you know , teen years . I do n't know how any of us survived it . We can talk over here . Come on . Mr . Monk . You 're not gon na catch anything in here . Promise . Come on . Now , what can I do for you ? Could you explain to my friend that leprosy is a serious condition ? It 's very contagious . Well , actually , that 's a common misconception . See ? / For one thing , it 's not called leprosy anymore . It 's called Hansen 's disease . It 's quite rare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if you do happen to contract it , it 's easily treatable with an antibiotic called halazzen . See , I 've been talking to this man . He wants to hire us .

I do n't think you have to worry . As I said , it 's not very contagious . I 've been practicing for 15 years . I 've only seen one case first-hand . I ca n't do it . I just , I ca n't do it . Well , how about this ? If you do contract the disease ... I 'll treat you for free . The hell are you talking about ? How about this ? We never call the guy back . We do n't see him again .

Okay , Mr . Bronson has an affliction . He needs our compassion and understanding . You know what ? Let me let you in on a little secret , Mr . Monk . You 're no picnic , either . A lot of people would rather not deal with you , but they do . They reach out to you . And Mr . Bronson is offering us a lot of money to do the same thing , okay ? And I 've been talking to him .

Not like this . I 'm hideous . No . I would n't say hideous , exactly . Believe it or not , women used to find me quite attractive . I never went home alone . After I married Mandy , I resisted those kind of temptations . At least , I usually resisted them . God ! Oh , god . - Have I offended you ? - No . No , sorry . You just leaned into the light . Sorry . I had an affair . That was my first mistake . She wrote me some letters , which I kept @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there 'll be a probate hearing . I 'll be officially declared dead . The vultures are gon na go through my office , reading every file , opening every drawer . They 'll find the letters . The letters themselves do n't mean anything to me . But they would destroy my wife . Mr . Monk , I want to hire you to break into my home , find the letters , and bring them back . That 's the job ? It 's still my house . So you would n't be breaking any law . Why do n't you just do it yourself ? I tried . I , I just could n't do it . That house , that life , everything I 've lost . It 's just too painful .

The leper said his wife goes into town every Friday to visit her mother . Mr . Monk , please stop calling him " the leper " . He has a name . Believe me , he 's got other things to worry about . Car ! Car ! Get down ! Okay . Now . Hurry . What are you waiting for ? Go ! - Okay , you 're next . - No . It 's , uh , it 's wobbly . Somebody has to hold it . Mr . Monk , I ca n't come back .

Okay , but do n't tell the leper . The leper was right . She never changed the locks . Wait , wait , wait , wait , wait , wait . He said it 's kinda tricky . He says you have to slide it . Okay . Here 's the code . 2 , 4 , 6 , 2 . The leper thought of everything . They look so happy . Here it is . Top drawer . In the back . Freeze ! Do n't move . I 'm calling the police .

So you 've seen him ? - Most of him . - Where is he ? Can you take me to him ? Mrs . Bronson , you need to trust us . There are reasons why your husband can not see you . What , because of these ? These do n't mean a thing . I 've known about this girl for years . Please . I have to see him . - That 's not a good idea . - Yeah , no . / Trust us .

Darling , there are doctors , treatments . There must be something they can do . You do n't think I 've tried ? I 've gone to every doctor in Europe . No one would have to see you .

Mr . Monk . Is that you ? No . Yeah . Yeah , yes . I 'm afraid I have one more favor to ask . " Wife claims missing billionaire husband still alive . " " Probate hearing is set for tomorrow . " " Former homicide detective Adrian Monk is set to testify . " What the hell 's Hansen 's disease ? - Leprosy . He 's a leper . - Oh , my god . I thought they lived in colonies .

We talked to a specialist . Randy , I think you might know him . Dr . Polanski ? No . Aaron Polanski ? Ca n't say that I do . Really ? ' cause we thought we saw your picture hanging up in his office . Right . It was a case . I was undercover , posing as a kid , a teenager with bad acne . - Captain , you remember that case ? - You 're on your own , Randy . Still tingling . Well , I 'll tell him you said hi . We 're going out tomorrow night . When this hearing was originally scheduled , the intention was to have Mr . Bronson officially declared deceased . But , as you all know , some new information has surfaced , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ her statement , plus a handwritten letter from Mr . Bronson . Which can not be authenticated . Of course it 's not a perfect match . I told you Derek is sick . He could hardly write his own name . That 's rather convenient , is n't it ? It was n't just me . Mr . Monk saw him , too . Your honor , if I may . Mr . Monk , is this the man you saw ? I believe it is . According to your testimony , you only saw him in a dimly lit bar and a parking garage . - Hardly ideal conditions . - That 's true . Well , Mr . Bronson 's nephews have been waiting a long time for this estate to be probated . I 'm reluctant to make a decision based on one man 's testimony . Your honor , Adrian Monk is not just anyone . His memory and powers of observation are legendary . Well , there 's a lot at stake here . You say he has a great memory . Mr . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? Could you describe my shirt ? Which one ? Which one ? The shirt you 're wearing , or the shirt your stenographer is wearing ? That 's your shirt , too , is n't it ? - Uh ... - You cut yourself shaving , and there 's a tiny drop of blood on her collar . What are you implying ? You were having a sex affair with her on that couch . The cushions are backwards . And one of her earrings fell off . It 's , um ... it 's right here , over here . She must have torn her blouse . I can see it sticking out of her briefcase . Your honor . I 'm ready with my decision . I will accept Mr . Monk 's word that he met with Derek Bronson . Therefore , Mrs . Bronson will retain control of the entire estate . How long has Mr . Steiner been living here ? 11 years . And he never missed a canasta game in all that time until last night . When was the last time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . And he did n't have a gig . I could tell ' cause he did n't take his sheet music . He 's a musician . I know he 's a musician . He 's one of my oldest tenants . You do n't think I know he 's a musician ? Mrs . Kennedy , relax . When you called the police , you asked for homicide . Now , I do n't see any evidence of a murder here . He 's dead . I know it . The canasta game . Plus I found his cat starving this morning . How do you explain that ? Okay , uh , why do n't you wait downstairs , Mrs . Kennedy ? And we 'll take a look around for you . Thank you . What are you doing ? Background music . You know , they do n't keep playing the same thing over and over . Sure , they do . - Hard to concentrate . - Is n't it ? Hey , Randy . Look at this . What do you got ? Makeup @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bedtime reading . His appointment book . Looking pretty busy every weekend . Captain , look at this . Last new year 's eve , he played a private party for Mandy Bronson . This must be the best first date in the history of first dates . Maybe we should quit while we 're ahead . I 'm so glad your boss needed my help . Mmm , me , too . - Whatever happened with that case ? - Oh , it 's over . Bronson went back to his leper colony on Camino island . He says he loves it there . Really ? Well , you know , I can believe it . I 've seen some colonies in Africa . They 're like four-star hotels . You really are an expert . Well , I should be . Why is that ? Well , you remember I said I knew one person with leprosy ? - It was me . - What was you ? I had it as a kid . Leprosy . Hansen 's disease . Well , do n't worry . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ why I became a doctor . - Oh ? - Yeah . It 's the best thing that ever happened to me . Really . Imagine that . Okay . - What are you doing ? - Making a snack . Oh , no . No , no , no , no . No , no . No , I promised your mother . No junk food . - You promised ? - Yeah . I am the babysitter . Um , I do n't think so . My mom said I was babysitting you . Okay . Are you getting paid ? Yeah . How much ? You know , that 's between your mother and me . Why ? How much are you getting ? $8 an hour . An hour ? I guess you 're the sitter . Enjoy your fries . " Since 1840 . " Who needed ketchup in 1840 ? The security panel . Pardon me ? The security panel in Bronson 's house , Bendis security , founded 2003 . The leper said he had n't been home in seven years . How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I was duped . It was all a con . - A leper-con . - What ? - Was he magically delicious ? - What ? Okay , thanks . I 'll talk to you later . Bye ! - Natalie ! - Oh , god . Natalie , listen . Mom . Hotter ! Need it hotter . - But mom , are you okay ? - I 'm fine , honey . How was the date ? Oh , it was great , sweetheart , sweetheart , sweetheart . I need you to do me something . I need you to go upstairs and fill the bathtub with listerine . Go , go , go , go , go , go , go , go , go ! - Natalie , listen to this . - I got ta tell you something . - We 've been duped ! - I 've been duped ! - Are you ready for this ? - Okay , you 're not gon na believe this . - He 's not a leper . - He 's a leper ! Oh , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the camera . What are we looking for ? Evidence , proof , anything . Oh , how could I not have seen it ? Derek Bronson is not a leper . Hey , watch it . Derek Bronson is dead . His wife killed him seven years ago . And she 's been living off his money ever since . I mean , she ... Watch the shoes . She knew that when he was declared dead officially , the will would kick in , the nephews would get everything , and the party would be over . So she found someone who resembled Derek . And she either hired him or seduced him to suddenly " reappear . " Will you please ? That 's why they chose me . Adrian Monk , the perfect patsy . They knew about my problems . They knew I 'd never take a good look at the guy . So there never really was a leper . Except for the guy you were making out with all night . Are you drinking that ? Where 's the woman who 's been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you know what ? It 's not funny . You did n't have your tongue down his throat . Well , I shook hands with one . That 's bad enough . Your leper was n't even a real leper . - I thought he was real . - My leper was the real deal . That 's what counts . You know the old saying , " there is no heart so black as the black , black heart of the phony leper ? " No , I never heard that one . - Well , it 's a saying . Up you go . - Up you go . - Up you . - Up . - Go . - Go . What if she 's home ? She 's not home . We 've been calling the house all morning . - You still have the key ? - Yeah . What is that ? - You hear that ? - Yeah . - Can I help you ? - Oh , no , I 'm just browsing . Browsing for what ? Oh , did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm waiting . I 'm just , just waiting for someone . Randall . What a nice ... - surprise . - Hey , doc . This fell off the wall . Right . Yeah . Not to worry . We 'll just toss it . - Thanks . - That 's okay . Well , you 're looking good . Thanks . Well , uh ... I 'll , uh , see you around . Take care . Oh , hey , I , uh , I hear you 're dating a friend of mine . Natalie Teeger . Oh , yeah , she 's amazing . But I do n't think it 's gon na happen . Well , she reacted pretty badly when I told her I used to have leprosy . Really ? - She could n't handle it , huh ? - No . Some people . Actually , I 've been trying to reach her to give her a heads up . I think Derek Bronson lied to her . I mean , he told her he 's been living on Camino island . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the leper colony there has been closed for two years . Really ? I mean , maybe that guy was n't really Bronson . I mean , all those bandages . Well , no , I mean , the wife met him . It 's funny , though . We ... We 're working on another case , missing persons . We were gon na talk to Monk about it . We found a makeup kit and a book on skin diseases . I think I 'm gon na stop by and have a chat with the wife . Thanks , doc . Uh , can I come with you ? It , it , if Natalie is in trouble , I 'd just ... I 'd like to be there . Yeah , sure . Oh , that 's great . Thank you . Why do n't we , uh , take separate cars ? Randy , I 'm not contagious . No , no , no . That 's not what I meant . - Well ... - Is that what you thoughtI meant ? - I mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Hell , no . Come on . Hello ? Can it wait ? All right , hold on . Oh , my god . Why all the barbells ? Weights . She 's gon na dump him in the ocean . Probably did the same thing seven years ago to her husband . I know this guy . He 's the leper . - He 's not my leper . - No , he 's my leper . Well , we , we better call it in . Give me your phone . No , no . There 's no time . Here she comes . Come on , that way ! No , no , we 'll never make it ! That way ! - That way . - I do n't think so . - No , come on . - No ! All right , Mr . Monk , get up . Mr . Monk , help me unhook them . - Hurry ! - Throw the ropes ! - Do something ! - Hurry ! - Mr . Monk , help , uh ... - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , take the ropes down . - Faster ! Faster ! I 'm trying . - That 's good . - Go , go , go . - Now it 's good . - Okay , okay . - Here we go . Do something ! - I 'm trying . Natalie , we 're too high . Stay down ! We 're too high !

Take my hand , or you 'll die ! Mr . Monk ! - Mr . Monk ! - I 'm thinking . Please , please . Take my hand . Come on . That 's it . Come on . Give me your other hand . I 've got you . Well ... What 's the matter ? Hey , is the necklace too much ? Mom , you look hot . You must really like this guy . You 're not scared ? No , why would I be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said ... Oh , well , we ca n't all live by Mr . Monk 's rules . What kind of world would this be ? Am I late ? No , you 're right on time . You 're perfect . - Well , these are for you . - Oh , thank you .

I may be close to finding your assassin . Got a name ? Almost . You see this ? It 's a scrambled medical file referencing a series of plastic surgeries . If it 's the shooter , he 's trying to hide his identity . - Or assume someone else's . - To get close to Palmer ? Mm-hmm . Call me when you get a name . Right . Pull over . Keith .

Before Maureen Kingsley can put it out and spin it the wrong way . It wo n't matter how the story comes out . Everyone will still think I went to go kill Gibson that night . Who 's gon na believe it was an accident ? I believe you , son , if you say so . Look , when your mother and I go to this breakfast in an hour we want you and Nicole to come with us . Why ? So you can save your campaign by sacrificing me to CNN ? So , I can stand by you , as your father . It 's a little late for that . You never gave me a chance to help you . How could I ?

Look Gaines said he 'd let me go after I buried Dan . Now , once I 'm out of here , I 'll call your dad , tell him where you are . Great plan , except you 're not gon na get out . Gaines wo n't let you go . He 's got no reason to stop me . He does n't need me anymore . Exactly . What do you want me to do here ?

We do n't know how he 's connected to any of this but we did have a breakthrough in the keycard . Give me one minute . If Alan York is dead , who is the man with my wife ? He 's not an accountant from the Valley , that 's for sure . If you hurt my daughter or my wife , I will kill you , you son of a bitch . What was that ? What have you done ? ... What have you done ?

Now the keycard , I want you to replace it with the one you took from the car . That wo n't be easy . Well , I 'm sure you 'll find a way . Not without attracting attention . That would be unacceptable . You implicate yourself you cease to be useful , and so does your family . As I said , Jack , find a way . Fine . The cellular customer you are trying to reach is currently out of range . Please leave a message at the tone . Kevin , Bauer 's wife knows you 're not Alan York . Be careful . - You okay ? - I feel a little woozy . We 're almost there . Janet said the party was up this hill . I 'm sorry , but I think I 'm going to be sick .

We just need a few more minutes with the card . Switch it , Jack . No more excuses . Um , look , that 's terrific ... uh tell Milo to wait until I get down there . You want him to stop working on the card ? Just until I get there . - Why ? - Because I asked you to ! Look , I 'm only gon na be a minute . All right , but hurry . He 's in Section Seven .

She must have misunderstood me . Smart boy . Great , I just wasted ten minutes . You guys get your signals straight . Milo , just get me the name . Why are you doing this ?

Yeah , if it were true . But I do n't believe it . This is a different key card . You 've been sitting here the entire time . Who could have switched it ? I need to post out until 8:00 . No , that wo n't be necessary . Yes , I 'm reachable . Thank you , bye . Nina , I ca n't talk right now . There 's an emergency down at Division . Where 's the keycard ? What ? Careful , Jack .

Slow down . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . - My God . - Someone tried to take me , too . Did you call the police ? No , Jack says they ca n't be involved , otherwide we 're risking Kimberly 's life . Tell me where you are so I can send someone from CTU to pick you up . I 'm on Mulholland about a mile east of Coldwater . Jamey , please tell them to hurry ! Okay . We 're coming up on the hour . About the time the polls are about to open . Not that far off now . And I want to remind everybody ... You look handsome . Presidential . - Where 's Keith ? - He 's still in his room . We do n't have much time . David . What if Maureen Kingsley could be persuaded not to come forward with the story ? I already spoke to her . There 's no way . There 's always a way . What are you getting at ? Maureen is just like everybody else . She 's got a past . What if there was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ? You mean blackmail . I do n't care what you call it . I 'm just trying to save our son and your candidacy . You 've been talking to Carl . You left me no choice . No one has to know what happened . I 'd know . We would know . After everything we 've been through tonight , how can you justify burying the truth ? Because it 's been buried , David , for seven years . And digging it up again is not gon na change the fact that it already happened . You think about it . Well , ca n't say this gig does n't have its benefits . Dude , you 're lucky . If Gaines caught you with her .. .. bang ! You 're dead . Yeah , well , Gaines did n't catch me , did he ? Come on . So , how long have you been working with Gaines ? I do n't know , on and off , a couple of months . Is he good for his word ? What do you mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ go , if I do what he wants ? Sure . I do n't know , I get the feeling he does n't like me . Here you go . Yeah , he gets uptight when he 's on a job . He 's really pretty chilly . You do the job , you 'll be okay . Cool . So , how was she ? Sweet ? Yeah , she was okay . She 's pretty hot . I might want to dip in myself . What about the lecture you just gave me ? Are n't we supposed to be loading the trucks ? All right . Let 's go . Gaines really wants to get this done . So , what are we loading ? Everything . We 're cleaning the place out . Man , my keys . I 'll catch up with you . - Did anyone see you ? - No , we 're cool . When we get to the fence , you 'll see a cluster of trees . That 's where we want to be . - You ready ? - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bauer ? Yes . Hi , Teri . Charles McLemore , CTU . - You guys got here fast . - They told us it was urgent . Someone 's got my daughter . This man knows where she is . Has anyone been in touch with Jack yet ? Wait , this guy is dangerous . What are you doing ? No ! Let 's hurry this up , boys . We 're way behind . Put her in the car . Jamey . What 's up ? You got a confirm on a jurisdiction meeting ? I have n't checked . Why ? Nina was supposed to brief me but she 's not back and she 's not on her cell . Plus , there 's nothing on my screen about it . It 's not coming up on mine either , but that does n't mean anything . Since the lockdown , the system 's been glitchy . That 's probably why the meeting 's not posting . It 's strange the way she and Jack left . Something happened in his office . What were you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jack 's office . Give me a ten minute loop . I 'm not authorized to do that . I 'm authorizing you . Jack and Nina are n't here . I got rank . - Yeah , but .. - Give me ten minutes starting at 6:30 . Send it to my screen . - Where are we going ? - Turn right . Turn right . All night you 've been telling me that somebody inside the Agency wants Palmer dead . Your daughter 's missing , and no one can be trusted , not even me . Is it all a lie , Jack , or just some of it ? What was on the keycard that you did n't want us to find ? Please , Nina , do n't make this harder than it is . You got a gun on me , Jack . I do n't think it gets much worse . Stay on Jefferson . In about three miles you 'll see a turn-off . Keep going straight . To think that I ever trusted you , Jack , that I defended @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need you alive . Come on , let 's go . Stop the car . What is this place , Jack ? What are we doing here ? - Somebody followed us . - I know . Who are they ? What do you want me to do here ?

Get out of the car . - Get out of the car ! - Jack , what .. ? - I 'm sorry , Nina . - What are you gon na do ? You 're gon na kill me right here ? I do n't have a choice . They have Kim and Teri . How do you know they wo n't kill them , even if you do this ? - I ca n't take that chance with my family . - What about me ? Enough chit-chat , Jack , just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do it ! Please , forgive me , Nina . You think I 'm messing with you , Jack ? Turn around ! Jack , if you 're going to do this , do it to my face ! I wo n't make this easy ... Get back in the car , Jack What do we do when we get there ? We have to get to the road . Highway 14 is about a mile away . I know how to get there . You ready ? Yeah . What 's the matter ? Oh , my God ! Where 's my daughter ? Is she here ? That 's my mom ! We ca n't wait . We 've got to go . I ca n't just leave her there . Kimberly ! Is my daughter here ? What have you done with her ? - We 've got to go now ! - I ca n't . Get down , Kim . If we get out , we can help her . We can call the police . You go . Call my dad . Yeah , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get out of here . Let 's go . Come on . Come on . Kimberly ! The polls are about to open in California which is a key state for the Palmer campaign .

My exact words were I did n't want her to have any regrets . There was that time you took Jack on that impromptu weekend to Orlando . Was that to tell him about Beth ?

A couple , Ron and Karen Myerson were found shot to death in their home 4 hours ago . Several hours before that , a security guard was found stabbed to death at a small office building .

The chaos could mean that this unsub is either psychotic or under some time pressure . And improvising . And if he ca n't decompress , he may feel killing 's his only option .

Hi , how are you ? We 've increased patrols on the south side of the city since you said a spree killer may be at work . Any activity since the killings ? No , but we just spoke to a friend of the couple who was at a marriage counseling retreat with them . The wife was n't feeling well , so they went home a day early . Maybe they surprised the unsub . Who reported the crime ? The neighbor from across the street . Did he hear anything last night ? Only the sound of a car backfiring around 2 a.m . It could have been gunshots . All right , I 'll let the others know . Good . Rossi : This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's no surveillance cameras . But they have an armed guard . What kind of place needs privacy and security ? Well , it 's mainly attorneys , accountants , psychologists . Maybe they were worried about unstable patients and clients . Rossi , look at this . Those have to be the unsub 's bloody shoe prints . Yeah , but there 's two sets . Well , the guard did n't make it far from his desk . [Camera_clicking] Those ca n't be his . It looks like that second set of prints stayed out there by the edge . Maybe he was just a witness . The unsub could have been surprised by someone else in the lobby . Maybe he kidnapped the witness . But a possibility is it was a partner . It would make it a hell of a lot easier to overtake an armed guard . Even without gambling problems , I can see how they maxed out 4 credit cards . This couple likes nice things . Something valuable could have been stolen and the police would n't necessarily know . State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . The couple was found over here . They were both shot in the chest .

What were they digging for , buried treasure ? Why would the Myersons bury anything in their yard , judging by the safe in their house ? So it had to be the unsub . Came looking for something , got surprised when they came home early . Killed them , and then based on what JJ said , spent another hour trying to find what he was looking for . How did he know there was something buried back here ? We 've been saying this crime felt personal . What if the unsub used to live here ? We should have Garcia pull a list of prior residents . The unsub either has either a partner or a hostage with him , most likely male based on the prints . Go ahead , Garcia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 23 Cherry Lane , aka , the Myerson home , and before they lived there , it was owned by professor Harold Mason . He was there for 7 years , bought it from the bank who repossessed it from Amelia Porter , a notorious killer in the state . I remember that name . She was a 30-year-old woman . She and her much younger lover got high on drugs and raped and murdered his sister . I think her name was Miriam . The younger lover was Benton Farland , 17 at the time , convicted of murder for the crime , but Amelia fled the scene . She was n't found . Hotch : Where 's Farland now ? Uh , he served 12 years at Utah state prison . And he was released two days ago . He 's got ta be our unsub . Thanks , Garcia . Here . You did the right thing . I do n't think she would have lasted much longer . What ? I just ca n't believe how much she looks like Miriam . My mom . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I was there . I should have stopped Amelia , but I did n't kill her . You 're a liar ! Becca . I got blamed ' cause Amelia ran away . But I did n't do it . I loved Miriam . She was everything to me . We do n't remember her that much . We were both pretty young . Well , I 'm sorry about that . I 'm sorry that you do n't even have memories . So where are we gon na hide ? Come on , think about it . You need a place where you 're safe and you can come up with a plan . I do n't know . Ok . Look , I have a buddy who has a cabin in the mountains not far from Park City . Your buddy has a cabin ? His parents do . It 's like a vacation house . They only use it a few times out of the year . The rest of the time it 's empty . We 'll go there tonight . All right , copy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's father . This is awful . Miriam , the sister , was a 29-year-old single mom of two young kids when when was killed . How did Benton only serve 12 years for such a heinous crime ? Well , it was a combination of his age and willingness to testify against Amelia Porter . Ultimately the jury felt he was a sensitive boy who was unduly influenced by an older dominant woman . How did Amelia manage to escape ? She fled into the wilderness . Her father was a survivalist , so she learned outdoor skills from him . Has anyone seen her since then ? That 's a good question . [Ring] Garcia 's the name , 411 's the game . Hey , mama , any confirmed sightings of Amelia Porter uh ... in the last 12 years ? Yeah . One 10 years ago . Oh . And one 5 years ago . Both in Canada . One in Vancouver , the latest one in the northern territories . But when authorities got there , she was nowhere to be found . The Northwest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place to hide . Assuming Benton has a male partner with him , does he have any old friends here he could have reconnected with ? Uh-uh . When he was a teen , he was a total loner . That 's probably the reason why Amelia Porter was able to get him under her thumb so good . All right , we need to look for connections he may have had in jail . Heads up , guys , I got a real bad feeling about this . Clear ! JJ : Clear . Morgan : Guys , over here . The victim is Benton 's father , Oren Farland . You know , this could have been the first kill , the one that triggered the others . Oren lived here with his grandchildren , Andy and Rebecca . The grandchildren are missing . Are these the kids of the sister who got murdered ? Yeah . So what was he after coming out here ? Think about it . Benton was 17 when he went to prison . Imagine you 're incarcerated for 12 years and have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Reid : You have $40 left after buying a bus ticket with your prison release money . You have no skills to help you survive in the real world , no friends , nowhere to turn but family . Who knows how they 'll feel about seeing you again , but , really , what choice do you have ? Looks like someone was entertaining . I think it was the kids . Thanks for the lemonade . Yeah , sure . Grandpa 's just out buying some groceries . So ... Yeah , you said . So , is old Mr . Litvak still teaching English lit ? Yeah . Mm-hmm . Man , that guy was a ball-buster . But I practically memorized " MacBeth " because of him . " Will all great Neptune 's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand ? " [Door_opens] Where are you guys ? I could use a little help unloading the groceries . Hi , Dad . The kids sat here . Oren sat at the head of the table , which means Benton sat right there . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means he was n't exactly welcome . Then why invite him to stay ? Probably to appease him , so he 'd go away peacefully and leave them alone . That obviously did n't happen . So what went wrong ? I just want to say thank you for letting me stay for dinner . Eat up . Then go . Dad , if you 'd just give me a second -- I do n't have any children left . If you 'd just let me explain something . I 'm not interested . Dr . Pelman said that if we do n't forgive , we 'll never heal and move on . Is that the B.S . I pay that quack therapist to tell you ? " Then you will remember your evil ways " and your deeds that were not good . " And you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations . " You show up like a bad penny to quote scripture to me ? I have repented . And I would kill myself right now if it would bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it a try . I know you 'll never forgive me . But I 'm your own flesh and blood . Do n't you have any feelings for me at all ? The feeling I have for you for you is ... I 'd like to gut you for being the vile bastard that you are ! Andy : Grandpa ! Stop ! Reid : Oren could n't contain is anger . He stood up , threatened Benton , who then stabbed him with the steak knife . I think I know what happened to the kids . Aah ! Ohh ! Ohh ! No ! No ! No , no , no ! No , let her go ! You saw what he was gon na do . He was trying to kill me . I had no choice ! That 's what we 're gon na tell the cops . No , no cops ! They will never believe it . I just got out of prison . They 'll throw me back in there for life ! Ok . Look , we wo n't call them . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with me . Benton probably took the kids as an insurance policy . After he murdered his father , he knew the police would n't believe him , so he had to go on the run . [Cell_phone_rings] Hey , what you got , baby girl ? I 've confirmed it was n't a random thing that Benton Farland showed up at that office where the security guard was killed , because Andy Farland has a therapist named Dr . Pelman who works there . How long was Andy in therapy ? Uh , 3 years . He was having trouble in school . That 's not a surprise given his mother was murdered by his Uncle . Garcia , did Andy have any contact with Benton when he was in prison ? Uh-huh . Unfortunately , yes . All of it the last two years . He visited him twice , wrote him 3 letters . Contact with Benton may have humanized him . Instead of fearing him , Andy might actually have empathy for him . If you behave ... I promise I wo n't hurt you . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You know , when I was little , a teacher told me that I was snake-bitten . You know what that means ? I attract bad luck . Everything I touch turns to garbage . But it 's not my fault . I 'm jinxed . Nothing ever goes my way . You found the money , though , right ? In the backyard ? Yeah . I found the money . [Siren] Crap . What do I do ? Pull over . License and registration . Yeah . Is there a problem , officer ? Police radio : We have a 10-57 with multiple injuries on Route 6 near Hawthorne . All units in the area please report . Copy that . Victor 5 on the way . 10-4 , Victor 5 . Your tail light is out . I 'm letting you off with a warning , but get it fixed . Sure thing . Maybe you kids are my lucky charm . We know that after his prison release , Benton Farland went home and murdered his father in an improvised way . He then fled with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so he killed an armed security guard . He then went over to the Myerson house to dig up money that was buried there . He shot the couple when they surprised him . He 's in an extreme state of mind . He believes that his only choices are fight or flight . Kate : He 's looking for any way he can to escape , which makes him highly unpredictable . JJ : He 's armed and dangerous and he 's already killed 4 victims . Aah ! Reid : Benton is most likely traveling in his father 's automobile . It 's a 1993 gold Volvo , license plate number 631 ZFG . We believe he 's with his niece and nephew , Andy and Rebecca . Andy could be trying to help his Uncle , but Rebecca is most certainly a hostage . Or it could be that Andy is simply trying to protect his sister . You need to increase patrols on major roads leading out of the city . We can not emphasize enough how volatile this situation is . One wrong move could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said you would n't hurt me , so let me go . There 's hardly anyone around here . I swear , I wo n't go to the cops . But you said - - I ca n't do that . Enough ! I 'm not going to leave a 16-year-old girl alone on the side of the road . That would be breaking my promise . [Accelerating] Andy ! [Fires] Aah ! Oh , my God . Are you ok ? Ohh ! [Fires] [Indistinct_gospel_song] Ok , I know Amelia Porter had survival skills , but she must be some sort of a criminal mastermind to have just vanished without a trace for all these years . Maybe she has a new version of Benton helping here . He was n't her first young stud . According to her cousin 's statement , she dated several younger men before Benton , all in their early 20s . Benton was the youngest of the bunch . Makes sense . Younger men were easier to seduce and control . The Farland car was just found . It was involved in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lethal Benton has been . He 's either incredibly lucky or he was allowed to live . Hopefully we 'll be able to get some answers from him soon . No cell phone or I.D . In the woman 's purse . What do you think ? She another hostage ? It 's too many people for Benton to control . I think she was a good Samaritan that stopped to help with the crash , Benton killed her and took her car . We searched a 100-yard perimeter . There 's no sign of Rebecca Farland . So there 's a good chance he has her and that she 's still alive . If that 's the case , what 's he holding her for ? Andy . Agents Callahan and Morgan , FBI . Where 's Rebecca ? We 're looking for her . Can you tell us who shot you ? Benton Farland . My Uncle . He did n't have his seatbelt on , and I crashed the car on purpose . He figured out I was trying to kill him . Were you helping him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pretending , to protect my sister . But you have to find her . Please , he 's gon na kill her . We 're doing everything we can , but right now we need you to help us . Where would he take her ? Um , I told him about my friend 's vacation cabin . We were headed there before the crash . What 's the address ? It 's the yellow house at the end of Canyon Ridge Lane . Please , you have to hurry . She 's gon na say something to set him off . [Indistinct_gospel_song] All right , thanks . Morgan and Kate just left the cabin . No sign of anyone . They should have been there by now . If it was Andy 's suggestion to go there , Benton probably changed his plan after Andy betrayed him . We just found a burned-out car about 50 miles away on Route 190 . Her DMV photo matches the good Samaritan . What are you doing ? Nothing . I 'm tired . And cold . Where are we going , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rest . We 've been walking for hours , and my foot hurts . When we get there , you 'll know . My mom used to say that . Well , she got it from our mom . There 's no way you could have remembered that . You were too young . But I do remember . And I remember when I was little and you used to put me on your shoulders so that I could touch the star on our Christmas tree . Yeah , I did do that . How stupid do you think I am ? What ? I - - I do n't - - this trying to bond with me and build rapport is n't going to work . It 's the same crap your brother pulled . You shot him , did n't you ? You told me that Andy died in the accident , but you shot him ! It 's all coming back to me now . He tried to kill me ... And I had to pay him back . It 's only fair ... do n't you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ... Yes , sir . The good new is , there do n't seem to be any human remains inside . Rossi : Any idea why he stopped here ? No , we 're pretty far from anything . Hotch : Any hiking trails nearby that you know of , Detective ? Not any major ones . Hey , Hotch , take a look at this . These treads look remarkably like those from Benton 's shoes . What 's off in that direction ? The summit trail in about 10 miles . That branches into other paths that lead down into a valley . Rossi : Any residents in the valley ? There 's a smattering of small farms and houses . Benton came here on purpose . He has a destination in mind . If it 's not a prison connection , it might be someplace he remembered from his childhood . I 'll follow up with Garcia . I have n't betrayed you . I have n't done anything to hurt you . Look , I know it sounds like I 'm trying to play you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bad guy , but I really believe it . You have a heart . You 're just snake-bitten like you said . That I am . If you let me go , I swear , I wo n't tell anyone where you are . Here 's what I think . You have n't betrayed me yet , but the first chance you get ... You will . That 's not true . I think it is . But just remember , I always get my payback . Man : Mornin ' ! Hey . Careful up ahead . It looks like part of the path got washed out with the last storm . Ok , well , thanks for the warning . Honey , you look blue as a Popsicle . Did n't you bring your jacket ? You know , I told her to , but , teenagers , right ? [Laughs] Ai n't that the truth . Have we met before ? You look so familiar . Um ... No , I do n't think so . Well , you must remind me of one of my daughter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Yeah . Have a good ' un . Mm-hmm . Andy said his Uncle never mentioned a jailhouse connection . Thank you so much . I just spoke to the prison warden . Benton managed to stay a loner behind bars . He never affiliated with any groups or made friends with other prisoners . That 's not easy to do for 12 years . Most people have an instinct for a social connection . Maybe he had one . Detective : I 'm not following . Well , he did n't need any social connections when he was in prison because he already had one . Amelia Porter . Except she 's somewhere in Canada sleeping among the moose and bears . People also have a natural instinct to return home . Yeah , and Benton did . Yeah , maybe Amelia came home . I 'm going to have Garcia look for women in their 40s who appeared in the area in the last 5 years with little or no history before that . Two hikers in the mountains may have spotted the suspect and his niece @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ house is this ? What the hell are you doing here ? Hi , Amelia . Ok , I searched a 50-mile radius of where the good samaritan 's car was burned and I found not one , but two women who match the criteria we 're looking for . The first is Jane Appleby . She 's lived in the area for 5 years . She 's an organic farmer . I got nothing on her prior to 2009 . And the other ? Uh , that would be Natasha Banks . She 's from Winnipeg , Canada . She 's lived there for 4 years . But when I look her up past 2009 , I ca n't find anything . All right , Dave , you , Kate , and Reid go to Jane Appleby 's house . The rest of us will take Natasha Banks . How did you find me ? You were always prepared for a disaster . I never forgot the old survival plan . That was my plan . You were never a part of it . Then you should n't have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this ? You do n't recognize her ? It 's Rebecca , Miriam 's daughter . Does n't she look just like her mother ? Oh , my God . You 're sick . Did you kidnap her ? Did I kidnap you ? No . See ? We like each other . What do you want ? Ca n't you guess ? You know , something 's been bothering me . If Benton always intended to meet Amelia after his release , why did he go home first ? Good question . It was n't just to take revenge on dad . It was n't until after he was on the run that he went to Amelia Porter 's old house . Like he was improvising . Ok , here 's a radical thought . What if Amelia was n't the dominant one ? What if it was really Benton ? The prosecutors called her a femme fatale , always dating younger men . It could have been that she herself was immature . Her parents described her as shy and naive . Only Benton called her manipulative . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as we know . What 's interesting is Amelia was 30 back then , and his sister was almost the same age at 29 . Benton was always attracted to older women . The fantasy of raping and killing the sister could have been his . When Benton testified , he said that when his mother died when he was 9 , Miriam became his entire world . He could 've been obsessed with her . But Miriam was 21 with a life of her own . If she was absent a lot , that would 've fueled both desire and rage in him . Ohh ! [Slap] 12 years ! I spent 12 years in that hellhole while you got off Scot-free . Stop it ! Just stop it ! I think that 's enough payback . I 'm sorry , sweetheart . But you deserved it . It does n't mean I do n't love you . [Moans] The other reason I 'm here and the reason why I brought Rebecca , is so that we could relive the most exciting moment in our lives . Does n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ admit , she 's a little young for my taste , but she looks so much like Miriam , does n't she ? Go ahead . Do it . You know you want to . You ca n't make me this time . Make you ? Oh , Amelia , stop lying to yourself . You loved it . It was glorious . I was high . I was out of my mind seeing things . You touched God in that moment . We murdered your sister . FBI ! Drop the weapon ! You 're not taking me with you . He 's crazy . He tried to force me to hurt her . [Sobbing] This coming from the woman who killed Miriam ? You are a madman . And you 're a fugitive from the law . We 've been looking for you for 12 years , Amelia . Amelia : It was him . It was always him . Why did you run ? Who would believe me ? Who would believe me over a 17-year-old boy ? Put the gun down . Amelia 's the one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and you led us to her . Your nephew Andy explained how everything happened , Benton . We know none of this was your fault . He 's alive ? He 's in the hospital . [Sobbing] Thank God . Let her go , Benton . [Gasping] ? O , lord , remember me ? ? remember me ? ? O lord , remember me ? ? remember me ? ? when these chains get broken ? ? set my body free ? ? O lord , remember me ? Kate : " The soul that has conceived one wickedness can nurse no good thereafter . " Sophocles . ? ... I call your name ? ? I call your name ? ? days get long , I call your name ? ? I call your name ? ? days get long ? ? ca n't see right from wrong ? ? O lord , I call your name ? ? I call your name ... ? [Jazz_playing] ? You know you want it , baby ? ? and , oh , you really do ? ? ah , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , come on baby , kiss me ? Is n't she great ? She 's great . You could do worse . So , when are you going to introduce yourself ? Ah , I do n't know , Aaron . I 'm not gon na plan , I 'm just gon na go with the flow and see what opportunities arise . And I suggest you do the same . I 'm here , are n't I ? Yes . That 's a great start . Hello . Um , thanks for the bottle of champagne . Bartender told me you sent it . So much for being a secret admirer . [Chuckles] I 'm Celine Destin . This is my friend Audrey Hansen . David Rossi , and my friend Aaron Hotchner . Hi . How do you do ? Nice to meet you . Hi . Hi , how are you ? Strong , silent types . Intelligent . Honest eyes . So you 're not politicians . [Both_laugh] FBI . Wow . You two could be profilers . Well , Audrey practically is . I mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from San Diego . Then welcome to our fair city . And would you ladies care to join us ? I 'll be off at 10:00 , though . Then I 'll be waiting . All right . If you do n't mind ... I 'm going to amble up to the bar for another drink , but , Audrey , please , have a seat . And , um , my friend is known to be an excellent tour guide . Sorry . [Laughs] Let me guess . Wingman ? Wingwoman ? Mm . More like the sidekick who ca n't carry a tune . ? The best upper sets do it ? ? Lituanians and letts do it ? So is he a heartbreaker ? Well , full disclosure , he has been married 3 times , but ... He 's a solid as they come and he 's learning . Well , good . That 's good . And her ? If he treats her right , she 's a dream . So tell me something . Are you really an excellent tour guide ? [Chuckles] I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Oh . You do n't say . [Both_laugh] So if you were to take me on a tour , where would we go ? Well , most people would start with the obvious , the monuments , but there 's some lesser-known places that are very nice . Um , I like the Folger Shakespeare library . The , uh , Moongate Garden at the Smithsonian is really beautiful , especially at sunset . I 've got a few things up my sleeve . [Celine's_song_ends] == sync , corrected by elderman == @elderman

Oh , yeah ? How are they doing ? - She 's doing great . - Really ? - 18 months now , cancer-free . - That 's great . So but anyway , she said that it 's best not to think of it as poison but more like a platoon of soldiers that have entered your blood stream to ... Fight the enemy ... - Disease . I 've read all the pamphlets . I hate this . The whole reason I got him involved in baseball was so he could make some friends . - I know . - How could they not invite him ? He 's new . Kids have groups , cliques . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soon . You do n't think it 's because he 's ... - He 's what ? - Be-because ... - because he 's Latino ? - Yes , because ...

She 'll put in a good word for you . You 're really invested in my employment situation , I see . Yeah , I mean , it 's ... It 's just great to have somewhere to go in the morning or a reason to get up . Just makes you feel better about yourself . Believe me , I know . Okay , I 'll ... I 'll take a look . Sprinkler technician , Berlin-miro landscape architecture . Starting salary ... Wow , that 's low . Yeah , well , okay . That 's not a good one there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Norell family farms , irrigation consultant for mid-sized wheat farm . Wheat . Kid from Wyoming ... Must know something about wheat . Yeah , I do know a little something about planting wheat , but not from Wyoming . Yeah , where ? Well , one of my jobs in Afghanistan was to talk to the local farmers there . We 'd offer them seeds , fertilizer , better irrigation . Try to gain their trust , you know . Win the hearts and minds . And then , you know , we wanted them eventually to switch out their opium plants for wheat crops . Mmhmm . How 'd it work out ? It did n't always work out so good . What happened ? We met this one opium farmer outside of Marjah , and we worked on this guy for a while . And then finally he agreed to plant the wheat . A couple of weeks after we helped him switch out the poppy plants , he was killed . Uh , I guess they were sending a message to the rest of the farmers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ guy , Zeek . We did n't drop any bombs or pull any trigger , but we killed that guy . I do n't know where it is . Try again up here . Can I get something for you ? I was just looking for the chamomile tea . - It 's up here . - Oh . - It probably ... - I moved it . I 'm sorry . You know , I figured with your stitches , you know , you would n't be able to reach . Thank you very much , Camille . - That 's great . - Sure . And I 'll get the water . Thank you . Okay . Is that sugar ? I do n't have stevia here . I do n't usually use it . Well , it 's actually good for you . Stevia , it 's a nutrient . It 's only one scoop . Okay . - Is that your door ? - You 're right .

You guys want anything to eat ? - It 's just not right . - I would love a tea , actually . Want some chicken ? Why do n't you have a seat ? Okay ? Do you have English breakfast ? I just spoke to the social worker . And ? And she does n't think it 's a good idea . She thinks we should keep working on establishing him here . Not open up old wounds . Which is what we expected , so no Miguel . - No . - What ? I think we should do it anyway . I think that it would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's a bad idea . She did n't say we could n't do it . Are you " lawyering " me ? Is that what this is ? I 'm Victor 's mom-ing you . And I think that my opinion should weigh as much as hers . We should be helping Victor establish new friendships . That 's what we should be doing right now . I know , but he needs a friend right now . He just needs a friend . He 's gon na make friends . He just ... Babe , he was really pretty heartbroken . You should have seen it when they left him out . I 'm telling you he needs this . Okay . Okay . Good to see you . Okay , Brian . Take care . - Yeah . - Dad . Sarah .

Hey , is Ryan here ? - No . Why ? - Oh . Hmm . Well , he 's , you know , Amber 's new flame . Thought I 'd check him out . Amber 's new flame ? Yeah , he and Amber started dating after ... I guess they hit it off at the baseball field . He did n't tell you ? They 've been seeing ... No , we just had lunch together , Ryan ... He did n't say anything , and we talked about Amber . He did n't tell me . Well , you 're an intimidating guy . You like him though , right , dad ? It 's , uh ... Yeah , um ... let me show you my office , honey . Come here . Well , how exactly is she driving you crazy ? She 's a hovercraft . She 's in the kitchen . She 's moving everything around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Oh , by way , the lessings stopped by today , and they brought a chicken . Another chicken . They stayed for 2 1/2 hours . She took Nora upstairs while I had to sit downstairs and entertain them . I had to make Phil Lessing tea . It 's just so frustrating . I do n't know what to do . I feel like a prisoner in my own home . Oh , sorry . Listen , I 'll ... I 'll talk to her . I just ... I do n't want you to do that , okay ? I mean , look . She 's fine , she 's helpful . She 's trying to be there for me . I just ... It 's frustrating to me , honey , because I do n't like being taken care of . Okay ? I 'm not used to it . I want to take care of people . And I feel just ... I just ... I feel helpless right now . - You know ? - Oh , honey . Just I wish ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want to be able to pick up my baby . I want to be able to take her upstairs and read her a book at nap time . I want to be able to not eat this crappy food that 's making me feel yucky and supposed to be healthy for me , okay ? And I want my mom . I want my own mom to consider me important enough to get on a plane and come here to see me . And I know I sound like I 'm complaining right now , but I just sometimes wish that things were back to normal . And I wish that I could just crawl up in a ball and cry over it , but I ca n't because ... Because your mother 's here . I 'm really sorry . - I 'm sor ... - Krissy ? Um , I got ta go . I 'm fine . I 'm just having a moment . I love you . All right , love you too . Bye . - Hey . - Hey . You are alive . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so I just assumed - you were sick and ... - Yeah , I 'm fine .

It's-it 's fine . - I have my bike , so ... - You sure ? Yeah . I 'll see you there . Okay .

This one . Yeah , here we go . Oh . Hey , you must be Miguel . I 'm Joel . It 's good to meet you , buddy . - There he is . - Hey . The radio 's not working again ? Jiminy Christmas . Twice in two days . I think I saw less of you when you lived here . Well , I-I know how much you miss me , so ... Well , I kind of miss Drew a little more . Thanks , dad . Appreciate it . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Amber that you wanted to tell me , was there ? I feel like something was a little off . No , well , I ... Yeah , he just did n't tell me he was dating my granddaughter . That kind of was screwed up . Uhoh . That 's it , though ? Nothing else to worry about ? Damn it . This is n't the right tool . Ouch . - What 'd I do with that ? - Dad . I do n't know , Sarah . I mean , the kid just got back from Afghanistan . You know , he 's been in a war . Got a lot of stuff going on . That 's normal . I mean ... I was the same way when I got back . Just gon na take some time to get some balance in his life . Well , you know when you 're going through it , it 's usually the people you love and the ones that are closest to you that get hurt the most . That 's ... He 's a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Yeah , I know , mom . I understand . Yeah , if Roy has a kidney stone , I mean , those can be pretty painful .

You know , it turns out my mom 's not gon na be able to ... To get out here right now . But she just wanted to say thank you so much for covering for her . I 'm sorry . I know how much you wanted her to come . It 's fine . I mean , it 's not a surprise . She 's been like this for as long as I can remember . You know . I mean , I ... I wanted her to want to be here . You know what ? I 'm actually ... I 'd like to go get Max . Oh , no , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's fine . Honestly , I 've been cooped up in this house for a week . And I just ... I 'm ... I 'm just wanting to get out . And you think you 're okay to drive ? Camille , I 'm completely fine . Okay ? I 'm able to pick up my daughter , I 'm able to pick up my son from school . I can make my own tea . I know how to take care of everything . Just ... can I have the keys ? Of course . - Hey . - Hi . Look , I 'm really sorry about earlier . That was really awkward for all of us . Yeah , was that your camp friend ? Um , well , we kind of met there . Was he like a lifeguard or something ? Is n't he , like , embarrassed ? He 's like a college guy dating some high school girl . I mean , he looks like 30 . I do n't understand . Is n't it illegal also on top of it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illegal . Drew , I 'm sorry . And I mean , I know that this morning was probably really hard for you . All right , whatever . Do n't give me that , all right ? Enough bad stuff is happening to me .

@@5026641 <h> Iran 's Nuclear Program ( Nuclear Talks , 2012 ) <p> AP Photo/GeoEye/SIME <p> Updated : Nov. 16 , 2012 <p> Iran ' s nuclear program is one of the most polarizing issues in one of the world 's most volatile regions . While American and European officials believe Tehran is planning to build nuclear weapons , Iran 's leadership says that its goal in developing a nuclear program is to generate electricity without dipping into the oil supply it prefers to sell abroad , and to provide fuel for medical reactors . <p> Iran and the West have been at odds over its nuclear program for years . But the dispute has picked up steam since November 2011 , with new findings by international inspectors , tougher sanctions by the United States and Europe against Iran 's oil exports , threats by Iran to shut the Strait of Hormuz and threats from Israel signaling increasing readiness to attack Iran 's nuclear facilities . <p> In late August 2012 , international nuclear inspectors reported that Iran had already installed three-quarters of the nuclear centrifuges it needs to complete a deep-underground site for the production of nuclear fuel . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how Iran used the summer to double the number of centrifuges installed deep under a mountain near the holy city of Qum , while cleansing another site where the agency has said it suspects that the country has conducted explosive experiments that could be " relevant " to the production of a nuclear weapon . <p> Israel has been pushing the United States to take military action to damage Iran 's program before it reaches the point at which it has the capability to make an atomic bomb , or to give Israel a green light to launch its own airstrike . <p> President Obama has rejected the Israeli call for a red line at that point . But in a speech to the United Nations on Sept. 25 , he repeated his position that the United States would work to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons . Mr. Obama 's Republican challenger , Mitt Romney , has been sharply critical of the president for not taking a tough enough line on Iran , and for not supporting Israel strongly enough . <p> Iran Has Agreed to Talks , Say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reported that the United States and Iran had agreed in principle for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran 's nuclear program , according to Obama administration officials , setting the stage for what could be a last-ditch diplomatic effort to avert a military strike on Iran . <p> Iranian officials have insisted that the talks wait until after the presidential election , a senior administration official said , telling their American counterparts that they want to know with whom they would be negotiating . <p> In November , a new report by U.N . inspectors asserted that Iran was set to sharply expand its uranium enrichment in an underground plant after installing all the centrifuges it was built for . The report also showed that Iran 's stockpile of its most sensitive nuclear material -- which could relatively quickly be processed further to bomb-grade uranium -- had grown and was getting closer to an amount that could be sufficient for a nuclear weapon . <p> The report also said that satellite photographs show Iran has worked for months to alter another site that the agency has long suspected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country 's economic woes deepened , Iranian officials worked to drum up interest in what they called a " nine-step plan " to defuse the nuclear crisis by gradually suspending the production of the uranium that would be easiest for them to convert into a nuclear weapon . But the plan requires so many concessions by the West , starting with the dismantling of all the sanctions that are blocking oil sales and setting off the collapse of the Iranian currency , that American officials have dismissed it as unworkable . <p> Iran 's first nuclear program began in the 1960s under the shah . It made little progress , and was abandoned after the 1979 revolution , which brought to power the hard-line Islamic regime . In the mid-1990s , a new effort began , raising suspicions in Washington and elsewhere . Iran insisted that it was living up to its obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty , but in 2002 , an exile group obtained documents revealing a clandestine program . Faced with the likelihood of international sanctions , the government of Mohammad Khatami agreed in 2003 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency while continuing negotiations with Britain , France and Germany . <p> In August 2005 , Mr. Khatami , a relative moderate , was succeeded as president by Mr. Ahmadinejad , a hard-line conservative . The following January , Iran announced that it would resume enrichment work , leading the three European nations to break off their long-running talks . Under the Non-Proliferation Treaty , Iran has the right to enrich uranium , but the atomic energy association called for the program to be halted until questions about the earlier , secret program were resolved . <p> The Bush Response <p> The United Nations Security Council voted in December 2006 to impose sanctions on Iran for failing to heed calls for a suspension . In Washington , administration hawks , led by Vice President Dick Cheney , were reported to favor consideration of more aggressive measures , including possible air strikes , while Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pushed for more diplomacy . <p> President George W. Bush sided with Ms. Rice , but declared that the United States would not negotiate directly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Months of inconclusive talks about talks followed . <p> The situation was muddied in December 2007 when American intelligence agencies issued a new National Intelligence Estimate that concluded that the weapons portion of the Iranian nuclear program remained on hold . That document said that Iran would probably be able to produce a nuclear weapon between 2010 and 2015 , while cautioning that there was no evidence that the Iranian government had decided to do so , contradicting the assessment made in 2005 . The estimates given by American military officials in April 2010 are roughly in line with the 2007 estimate . But in June , in the run up to a Security Council vote on sanctions , American officials made clear to their diplomatic counterparts that they now think that Iran has revived elements of its program to design nuclear weapons that the 2007 assessment concluded had gone dormant . <p> In 2008 , President Bush deflected a secret request by Israel for specialized bunker-busting bombs it wanted for an attack on Iran 's main nuclear complex and told the Israelis that he had authorized new covert action @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weapons , according to senior American and foreign officials . <p> The White House denied Israel 's request to fly over Iraq to reach Iran 's major nuclear complex at Natanz , American officials said , and the Israelis backed off their plans , at least temporarily . But the tense exchanges also prompted the White House to step up intelligence-sharing with Israel and brief Israeli officials on new American efforts to subtly sabotage Iran 's nuclear infrastructure . <p> The Obama Response <p> After years of conflict between Iran and President George W. Bush , President Obama spent his first years in office trying to engage Iran diplomatically , only to see Tehran back away from a tentative agreement to ship some uranium out of the country for enrichment . <p> On Sept. 9 , 2009 , American intelligence agencies concluded that Iran had created enough nuclear fuel to make a rapid , if risky , sprint for a nuclear weapon . But new intelligence reports delivered to the White House said that the country has deliberately stopped short of the critical last steps to make a bomb . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain and President Nicolas Sarkozy of France , revealed the existence of a secret underground plant near Qom . American officials said they had been tracking the project for years , but that the president decided to make public the American findings after Iran discovered that the secrecy surrounding the project had been breached . <p> Talks were then held between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council -- the United States , Russia , China , Britain and France -- as well as Germany , and led by the European Union ' s foreign policy chief , Javier Solana . At the talks , Iran agreed in principle to export most of its enriched uranium for processing , a step that would have bought more time for negotiations by reducing the amount of potential bomb-making material in Iran 's hands for up to a year . <p> The news raised a tumult in Iran , with conservative politicians arguing that the West could not be trusted to return the uranium . Shortly after the accord was announced , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Iran told the U.N . ' s chief nuclear inspector that it was rejecting the deal . <p> A 2010 Report Raises Questions <p> In February 2010 , the United Nations ' nuclear inspectors declared for the first time that they had extensive evidence of " past or current undisclosed activities " by Iran 's military to develop a nuclear warhead , an unusually strongly worded conclusion likely to accelerate Iran 's confrontation with the United States and other Western countries . <p> The report , the first under the new director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency , Yukiya Amano , also concluded that the nation 's weapons-related activity apparently continued " beyond 2004 . " <p> Following the agency 's announcement , Russia said that it was " very alarmed " by Iran 's unwillingness to cooperate with the I.A.E.A . And in late March , a Russian official disclosed that Russian and Chinese envoys had pressed Iran 's government to accept a United Nations plan on uranium enrichment during meetings in Tehran earlier in the month but that Iran had refused , leaving " less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Iran 's sincerity were again raised by its announcement on May 17 of an agreement negotiated by Turkey and Brazil that could offer a short-term solution to its ongoing nuclear standoff with the West , or prove to be a tactic aimed at derailing efforts to bring new sanctions against Tehran . <p> The deal called for Iran to ship 2,640 pounds of low enriched uranium to Turkey , where it would be stored . In exchange , after one year , Iran would have the right to receive about 265 pounds of material enriched to 20 percent from Russia and France . <p> The next day , Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that a deal had been struck with other major powers , including Russia and China , to impose new sanctions on Iran , a sharp repudiation of the agreement between Iran and Turkey . <p> A New Round of Sanctions <p> In June 2010 , after months of lobbying by the Obama administration and Europe , the U.N . Security council voted to impose a new round of sanctions on Iran , the fourth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ widespread doubts that they -- or even the additional steps pledged by American and European officials -- would accomplish the Council 's longstanding goal : halting Iran 's production of nuclear fuel . <p> The new resolution , hailed by President Obama as delivering " the toughest sanctions ever faced by the Iranian government , " took months to negotiate and major concessions by American officials , but still failed to carry the symbolic weight of a unanimous decision . Twelve of the 15 nations on the council voted for the measure , while Turkey and Brazil voted against it and Lebanon abstained . <p> After the Obama administration imposed additional sanctions on more than a dozen Iranian companies and individuals with links to the country 's nuclear and missile programs , the European Union followed suit with what it called " inevitable " new measures against Tehran . <p> The main thrust of the sanctions is against military purchases , trade and financial transactions carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps , which controls the nuclear program and has taken a more central role in running the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broader measures against Iran 's banks , insurance industry and other trade , but China and Russia were adamant that the sanctions not affect Iran 's day-to-day economy . <p> In late November , a trove of diplomatic documents obtained by Wikileaks showed deep concern among Iran 's neighbors over its nuclear program and revealed that American officials believed Tehran had obtained advanced missiles from North Korea that could let it strike at Western European capitals and Moscow . It also provided a detailed look at how President Obama had assembled support for tough sanctions that had eluded President George W. Bush . <p> An I.A.E.A . report issued in February 2011 listed seven outstanding questions about work Iran apparently conducted on warhead design . The documents in the hands of the agency raise questions about work on how to turn uranium into bomb fuel , how to cast conventional explosives in a shape that can trigger a nuclear blast , how to make detonators , generate neutrons to spur a chain reaction , measure detonation waves and make nose-cones for missiles . <p> The May report gave new details @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disclosure about the atomic trigger centered on a rare material -- uranium deuteride , a form of the element made with deuterium , or heavy hydrogen . Nuclear experts say China and Pakistan appear to have used the material as a kind of atomic sparkplug . <p> The report said it had asked Iran about evidence of " experiments involving the explosive compression of uranium deuteride to produce a short burst of neutrons " -- the speeding particles that split atoms in two in a surge of nuclear energy . In a bomb , an initial burst of neutrons is needed to help initiate a rapid chain reaction . <p> Harold M. Agnew , a former director of the Los Alamos weapons laboratory , said the compression of uranium deuteride suggested work on an atomic trigger . <p> The agency 's disclosure about Iran 's alleged use of uranium deuteride also suggests another possible connection between Tehran 's program and Abdul Qadeer Khan , the rogue Pakistani engineer who sold nuclear information . <p> A famous photograph of Dr. Khan , whom Pakistan has released from house arrest in Islamabad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an atom bomb on a blackboard . A pointer to the bomb 's center is labeled uranium deuteride . <p> The May report also gave fresh charges on the design of missile warheads . Documentary evidence , it said , suggested that Iran had conducted " studies involving the removal of the conventional high explosive payload from the warhead of the Shahab-3 missile and replace it with a spherical nuclear payload . " <p> The Shahab-3 is one of Iran 's deadliest weapons , standing 56 feet tall . In parades , Iran has draped them with banners reading , " Wipe Israel off the map . " <p> The report , the harshest judgment that United Nations weapons inspectors had ever issued in their decade-long struggle to pierce the secrecy surrounding the Iranian program , rekindled a debate among the Western allies and Israel about whether increased diplomatic pressure , sanctions , sabotage or military action could stop Iran 's program . <p> In an effort to thwart Iran 's nuclear program , the United States and the European Union took significant steps to cut Iran off from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ central bank and commercial banks . In addition , the United States also imposed sanctions on companies involved in Iran 's nuclear industry , as well as on its petrochemical and oil industries , adding to existing measures that seek to weaken the Iranian government by depriving it of its ability to refine gasoline or invest in its petroleum industry . <p> In retaliation for the sanctions , Iran vowed to block the Strait of Hormuz , vital oil transit point . Gen. Martin E. Dempsey , the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , said that the United States would " take action and reopen the strait , " which could be accomplished only by military means , including minesweepers , warship escorts and potentially airstrikes . <p> By February 2012 , the sanctions imposed by the West appeared to be taking a toll . Iran 's economy was showing further signs of strain , with the government looking for ways to avoid the use of dollars in international oil trade , new reports of problems importing food , and a Gallup poll suggesting a majority of Iranians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . In addition , a flurry of aggressive gestures -- attacks on Israelis attributed to Iran ; President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ' s renewed posturing over Iran 's latest nuclear advance ; and the threats of cutting off oil sales from six European countries -- suggested that Iranian leaders were responding frantically , and with increasing unpredictability , to the sanctions . <p> The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency indicated that for the first time Iran had begun producing fuel inside the new facility in a mountain near the holy city of Qum . The agency 's inspectors found in their visits over the past three months that Iran has tripled its production capacity for a type of fuel that is far closer to what is needed to make the core of a nuclear weapon . <p> American officials insist that Iran 's progress has been halting at best , and the report also shows that despite Iran 's repeated boasts , it is still having trouble deploying significant amounts of next-generation equipment to make fuel . The United States also argues that Iran 's program has a number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American intelligence officials say they do not believe Iranian leaders have made that decision , though Israeli and British intelligence disagree . <p> Should Israel decide to launch a strike on Iran , its pilots would have to fly more than 1,000 miles across unfriendly airspace , refuel in the air en route , fight off Iran 's air defenses , attack multiple underground sites simultaneously -- and use at least 100 planes . <p> That was the assessment of American defense officials and military analysts close to the Pentagon , who said that an Israeli attack meant to set back Iran 's nuclear program would be a huge and highly complex operation . They described it as far different from Israel 's " surgical " strikes on a nuclear reactor in Syria in 2007 and Iraq 's Osirak reactor in 1981 . <p> In a sign of rising American concern , Tom Donilon , the national security adviser , met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel in Jerusalem on Feb. 19 , and Gen. Martin E. Dempsey warned on CNN that an Israeli strike on Iran right now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreign secretary , William Hague , told the BBC that attacking Iran would not be " the wise thing " for Israel to do " at this moment . " <p> Enforcing Sanctions Amid Threats of Retaliation <p> In late January 2012 , the 27 nations of the European Union increased pressure on Iran over its nuclear program by agreeing to ban oil imports . Under the deal , E.U. members agreed not to sign new oil contracts with Iran and to end existing ones by July 1 , according to a statement from European foreign ministers . The embargo covered imports of crude oil , petroleum products and petrochemical products . It also covered the export of key equipment and technology for the sector . The assets of the Iranian central bank within the E.U. were frozen with limited exemptions to permit the continuation of legitimate trade . <p> In response to the sanctions , Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , Iran 's supreme leader , vowed to retaliate , warning that the United States in particular would face severe damage to its interests if any strike were carried out against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Khamenei were the most public response by him to mounting tension between Western powers and Iran . They came amid increasing concern among American officials that Israel may soon strike at Iran 's nuclear facilities . In early February , The Washington Post reported that Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta believed there was a " strong likelihood " that Israel would strike Iran in April , May or June . <p> A Scientist 's Death Deepens Fury at Israel and the U.S. <p> In January 2012 , as tensions increased over Iran 's nuclear program and belligerence toward the West mounted , Iran reported that an Iranian nuclear scientist died in what was termed a " terrorist bomb blast " in northern Tehran when an unidentified motorcyclist attached a magnetic explosive device to the scientist 's car . It was the fourth such attack reported in two years and , as after the previous incidents , Iranian officials indicated that they believed the United States and Israel were responsible . <p> Israeli officials , who regard Iran as their country 's main enemy , have not categorically denied any role @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ growing pressure on Iran over its disputed nuclear program . <p> A Second Uranium Enrichment Site <p> Also in January 2012 , Iran 's top nuclear official announced defiantly that the country was on the verge of starting production at its second major uranium enrichment site . The new facility is buried deep underground on a well-defended military site and is considered far more resistant to airstrikes than the existing enrichment site at Natanz , limiting what Israeli officials , in particular , consider an important deterrent to Iran 's nuclear aims <p> The opening of the plant does not significantly affect estimates of how long it could take Iran to produce a nuclear weapon , if that is its true intention . The new facility has been inspected regularly , and unless the Iranians barred inspectors or managed to deceive them , any effort to produce uranium at bomb-grade levels would most likely be detected . American officials have estimated that they would have six months to a year to react , if needed , before the enrichment was completed . <p> But if it came to that , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-aircraft guns , and the mountainous setting was designed to make a bombing campaign nearly impossible . <p> The C.I.A. , according to current and former officials , has repeatedly tried to derail Iran 's uranium enrichment program by covert means , including introducing sabotaged parts into Iran 's supply chain . <p> In addition , the agency is believed to have encouraged some Iranian nuclear scientists to defect , an effort that came to light in 2010 when a scientist , Shahram Amiri , who had come to the United States , claimed to have been kidnapped by the C.I.A . and returned to Iran . ( Press reports say he has since been arrested and tried for treason . ) A former deputy defense minister , Ali-Reza Asgari , disappeared while visiting Turkey in 2006 and is widely believed to have defected , possibly to the United States . <p> In May , a round of talks was held in Baghdad , but they ended with no clear signs of progress . During the talks , Iran was known to be unhappy about proposals to address urgent concerns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could be converted to bomb-grade fuel , because of what the Iranians suggested was an insufficient easing of punishing sanctions . <p> In June , diplomats from Iran and six world powers met in Moscow . After two days of fruitless talks , negotiators for the United States and other major powers did not even schedule another high-level meeting with Iran , committing only to a lower-level session in July to go over the technical details of a proposal to suspend the enrichment of uranium that Iran has already rejected in principle . <p> Dennis B. Ross , a former senior White House adviser on Iran , said he believed the negotiations had become a trap , allowing Iran to continue enriching nuclear fuel while the two sides failed to agree on even interim measures to slow the Iranian program . The major powers , he said , should scrap the step-by-step approach in favor of a comprehensive deal that would test Iran 's sincerity , but could also hasten a military confrontation . <p> Other critics were even blunter , labeling the talks a " charade " and demanding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Before the talks , 44 Republican and Democratic senators sent a letter to President Obama urging him to abandon the negotiations if the Moscow meeting failed to produce any concessions from Iran . <p> Hoping That New Sanctions Will Change Iran 's Course <p> In the summer of 2012 , the Obama administration and its European allies imposed sweeping new sanctions meant to cut Iran off from the global oil market . Many experts regard it as the best hope for forcing Iran to change its course . <p> In late June , the United States imposed sanctions that could punish any foreign country that buys Iranian oil . However , it issued six-month exemptions to 20 importers of Iranian oil who had significantly cut their purchases , including China , which has openly opposed the pressure on Iran . <p> On July 1 , the European Union put in place a complete embargo of oil imports from Iran , which was the Continent 's sixth-biggest supplier of crude in 2011 . <p> Even before these steps , Iran conceded that its oil exports were down 20 to 30 percent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dollar since 2011 . But so far the escalating sanctions , which the Bush administration started and the Obama administration has intensified , have failed in their central goal of forcing Iran 's mullahs to stop enriching uranium . <p> Iran responded to the new sanctions with a series of defiant steps , announcing legislation intended to disrupt traffic in the Strait of Hormuz , a vital Persian Gulf shipping lane , and testing missiles in a desert drill clearly intended as a warning to Israel and the United States . <p> The best known of the cyberweapons was Stuxnet , a computer worm , or malicious computer program , that turned up in industrial programs around the world in 2009 . Stuxnet , which had been developed by the United States and Israel , appears to have wiped out nearly 1,000 of the 5,000 centrifuges Iran had spinning at the time to purify uranium . <p> The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency , the last to be issued before the American presidential election , lays out in detail how Iran has used the summer to double @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the holy city of Qum , while cleansing another site where the agency has said it suspects that the country has conducted explosive experiments that could be " relevant " to the production of a nuclear weapon . Based on satellite photographs , the I.A.E.A . said the cleanup has been so extensive that it would " significantly hamper " the ability of inspectors to understand what kind of work took place there . <p> The report confirmed that a recent boast by Iran 's supreme leader , Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , that Iran had added nearly 1,000 centrifuges to the underground site was accurate . But it left open the question of what , exactly , Mr. Khamenei and other Iranian leaders intended to do with those machines , and whether , by racing ahead with construction , they were seeking negotiating advantage or trying to gain the capability to build a bomb before sanctions , sabotage or military action could stop them . <p> On Aug. 30 , Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated his position that Iran is not seeking an atomic bomb , and he criticized what he called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a speech to the 120-member Nonaligned Movement meeting in Tehran , the ayatollah also reminded the delegates that the United States is the only country that has ever used a nuclear weapon and that Israel has its own unacknowledged stockpile of nuclear weapons . <p> With senior Obama administration officials warning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet that a military strike on Iran 's nuclear sites would be counterproductive , the report offers arguments for both sides in the debate . <p> The Israelis in favor of military action , led by Defense Minister Ehud Barak , the most outspoken proponent of moving quickly against the Iranian program , will point to evidence that Iran has now installed over 2,100 of the roughly 2,800 centrifuges destined for the underground site , called Fordow . For Mr. Barak , that is evidence that the " zone of immunity " he has warned about -- the point at which Iran will be able to produce nuclear fuel from a site invulnerable to attack -- will be reached in a matter of weeks . <p> But American officials urging caution will find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Only a third of the centrifuges at Fordow are actually operating , the inspectors reported , leaving open the question of whether Iran has run into technical difficulties or has made a political decision not to tempt its adversaries by rushing ahead in moving production of fuel to its best-protected facility . And while the agency 's statistics show that Iran has , since February , doubled its stockpile of fuel enriched to 20 percent purity -- a level that bomb experts say could be converted to bomb grade in a matter of months -- it still does not possess enough of that fuel to produce a complete nuclear weapon . Most of its stockpile is composed of a lower-enriched fuel that would take considerably longer to make useful in a weapon . <p> The progress cited in the report could make it harder to win a diplomatic deal . Under an offer that the United States and its Western allies , along with Russia , presented to Iran privately in late spring 2012 , Tehran would be allowed to retain some enrichment capability if it turned over its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posed by international inspectors about evidence that it has worked on a weapon . Though Iranian officials have privately expressed some interest in the plan , the deal has gone nowhere , and no new negotiating sessions are scheduled , American officials say . <h> ARTICLES ABOUT IRAN 'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM <p> Iran has finished installing equipment at an underground site where it is producing nuclear fuel that could quickly be converted to use in a nuclear weapon , international inspectors reported on Friday . <p> Far from a monolithic relationship , Iran and the United States have spent as many decades as friends as they have as enemies .

Einstein merged the universe into a single entity : not space , not time , but spacetime . <p> Proponents of branes propose that we are trapped in a thin membrane of space-time embedded in a much larger cosmos from which neither light nor energy - except gravity - can escape or enter and that that " dark matter " is just the rest of the universe that we ca n't see because light ca n't escape from or enter into our membrane from the great bulk of the universe . And our membrane may be only one of many , all of which may warp , connect , and collide with one another in as many as 10 dimensions -a new frontier physicists call the " brane world . " Stephen Hawking , among others , envisions brane worlds perculating up out of the void , giving rise to whole new universes . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ century is the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) launched in 2001 to measure the temperature differences in the Cosmic Microwave Background ( CMB ) radiatiion -the 14-billion year old Big Bang 's remnant radiant heat . The anisotropies then in turn are used to measure the universe 's geometry , content , and evolution ; and , perhaps most importantly , to test the Big Bang model , and the cosmic inflation theory . WMAP data seem to support a universe that is dominated by dark energy in the form of a cosmological constant . <p> Perhaps not surprisingly , there is no supportative data to date for Big Bang theory , although the results are n't sensitive enough to rule out the pervasive Big Bang/inflation model . <p> The influence of gravitaional waves on polarization is different from that of overall energy distribution , so it should be possible to tell from polarization in the WMAP scans whether the variation is coming from contrasting energy density ( heat ) or gravitational waves that a Big Bang should have produced . <p> The world 's leading astrophysicists are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the new Planck telescope with its more detailed CMB plots , that they can reduce the level of uncertainty low enough so that they can say definitively whether the gravitational waves that should have been created by the Big Bang as present . <p> If this next generation Planck Telescope shows that there is no onvious distortions caused by gravity waves , it will rule out the Big Bang plus inflation theory -an add-on theory that explains the phenomenal sudden expansion of space from a tiny point . In it 's place will be new models that support what many leading cosmologists see as our universe to be proved to be one of just many in an eternal cycle of birth and rebirth . <p> Models of the universe that involve a bouncing brane or a Big Crunch rather than a start from scratch Big Bang predict much smaller gravity waves being produced than would come from a Big Bang . If the universe actually went through cycles of expansion and contraction , it is possible that the uneven distributions in the early post-Big Bang universe that resulted in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . <p> Only gravity ca n't exist soley in a specific brane , but wanders where it will , leaking off our brane into what physicists call " the bulk " -- the rest of space-time . Brane theory offer an fascinating and plausable explanation for why gravity is such a weakling : Maybe it 's not any weaker than the other forces , but just concentrated somewhere else in the bulk , or on another brane , providing the key to understanding the dark matter that makes up 90 % of our universe . <p> If our brane is but a small slice of a much larger cosmos , however , the " dark matter " might be nothing but ordinary matter trapped on another brane . Dark matter is no longer some mysterious unknown , but the force at the heart of the brane-brane interaction . With the brane model the universe goes through an eternal cosmic cycle over a vast timescale of attraction , bounce with a spread out bang , springing apart , and expansion until attraction ( gravity ) takes over again.Such a shadow world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wondering about the mass that seems to be missing from their world . " <p> Are branes the key to understanding the origin of our universe ? " Who knows ? " says Sean Carroll . " they will have taught us a useful lesson that we should have known all along , which is that we do n't have a clue to what 's going on . " <p> Alan Guth of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , creator of the currently accepted model of the Big Bang , said recently " he felt a little like Rip Van Winkle -- picking up his head from a long sleep only to notice that the landscape of physics he thought he knew had suddenly , drastically , changed . " <p> This one is quite bad : " ... from which neither light nor energy -except gravity- can escape or enter and that that " dark matter " is just the rest of the universe ... " <p> This can almost be read in such a way that GRAVITY = DARK MATTER , which is of course not true . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comments , because I 've seen more complaints about these kinds of typo 's , but it 's not improving . Which is a shame , since the content of most articles is interesting ... ( And on a side note : I do n't get it . If you 'd use Firefox or Chrome to post articles , you 'd have spell checkers built-in . ) But if he is ( I mean you , Casey ) : please run your articles through a spell checker and/or proof read them before posting . In fact , I would n't mind proofreading them before publishing and I 'm sure there are many other volunteers . <p> Like a river or any body of water , the landscape dictates where the water will flow and collect based on the geometry of the landscape . Could n't dark matter be the landscape we ca n't see , and the visible matter we observe is just settling in the low areas ? Is n't gravity the curvature of spacetime ? <p> Part of the problem with Big Bang apologists is that they 're @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to explain away what astronomers are seeing with what they ( the Big Bang people ) would rather see . Suggesting things like " branes " , inflation , etc. , just complicate the empirical data . Like dark matter , dark energy , and branes , there simply is no evidence for any of these things . The universe is probably much older than 150 billion years and it looks now that the evidence is suggesting that ( or something like that ) . <p> Cosmology is mostly conjectural as many other things are in Physics . We are all in the field of relative truths as absolute truth can not be a part of empirical and conjectural philosophy . The final truth will take ages and many generations to decipher . Our limitations in science lie in our total belief only in measurements . The latter are depended on our current experimental capabilities . Thus we are trapped in our own created science methodology . The need is to broaden our mind and try a good overlap with the universal mind of a superhuman creator . Something physical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is the law of nature . There is nothing like permanence of existence . There are constant changes as well long term stability combined together in our universe . Being limited to a life of about 100 years in one generation we are unable to comprehend the long time scale of Billion of years with a good amount of certainty . Thus science will proceed with several theories that are equally correct/incorrect . That is science and we can continue with , till we modify the methodology to include that things we mostly believe are also part of the truth of our existence in the universe as also the universe itself . It may sound make belief but then humans have that belief too as a truth of life ! The discussion is unlikely to end in the future and that is what science is all about . Let us however pick up our longstanding time beliefs and combined them together . These are likely to lead us better to a long-term truth , which may even approach the absolute truth ! <p> @Adam " Few cosmologists will claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's unlikely we can observe anything that came before it . " <p> Evidence of stellar noise , has not reached us for verification via radio astronomy . It begs the question , , what is beyond the verified , almost verified , age of our universe ? Beyond 13.5 billion years , we do not know , that is the ultimate question . <p> yes i greatly agree with zarkov. um i mean im only 18 and i 've thought this for a while .. astrophysicists are all caught up in these ridiculous theories about imaginary matter and energy and crap . they need to step back for a minute and realize that half there theories make no damn sense . I do n't buy most of this stuff about dark matter , the big bang , etc <p> I 'm with Zarkov and Matt . Physicists today do n't look at the big picture . Maybe the math works out that indicates I should be able to fly , but that does n't mean I 'm going to jump into the air and do it just because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They need to seriously think about the implications of what they 're saying . ( By the way , Matt . I 'm 17 . I think age has got something to do with it , because there are alot of us in our generation that seem to be able to visualize these complex interactions and see what the problems are . I guess it 's all that T.V. ) <p> There 's a video on Howstuffworks.com under the heading of " how time travel will work " that you guys should watch . <p> he 's supposedly one of the top physicists in the world , but he just does n't understand that what he 's saying is completely contradictory . If you do travel at light speed around an " infinite cylinder " you 'll never reach your starting point ( since it 's infinite ... ) and why is there a ' fabric ' to space ? the definition of space is a lack of any matter , and thus it can have no substance to itself . <p> Alot of this garbage goes back to Relativity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . people just assume they 're correct because the all brilliant Albert Einstein says so . ) <p> This top physicist was saying that just because Einstein did n't discount the possibility of time travel in his theories , must mean that it can be done . That 's a stupid approach to any science . <p> some of these physicists today just ca n't accept the fact that a void is a void and theres nothing in the empty parts of space except for radiation and light . They ca n't wrap their minds around the idea that there are gaps between matter where nothing really exists and there is no fabric ( and no stupid strings ) to unite it . <p> They say they 've mathematically proven the existence of 13 dimensions , but how ? how do you even begin to calculate a frame of mind more complex than our brains can even process ? <p> and time travel is bogus because of the grandfather paradox . Some physicists did n't want to accept the simple and obvious truth of it 's impossibility , so they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a way around paradox , but there was n't any evidence indicating the existence of anything outside our own universe or dimension . They just assumed because they where sore losers and did n't want their ideas to be dis proven . They 're like squabbling little kids . <p> " some of these physicists today just ca n't accept the fact that a void is a void and theres nothing in the empty parts of space except for radiation and light .

" <p> As sound needs a medium for propagation , a photon needs the space/time fabric to from point A to point B. <p> A measurable " void " needs to be something ( it exist in space and time ) , it may be possible there are voids in the space/time fabric but there would be no way to detect or measure them . <p> Try reading " The Elegant Universe " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become just a little smarter . <p> No real scientist equates the universe to infinite , ( some bad ones do ) infinity is not a number ( it 's a non-empirical concept ) , inserting infinity into an equation as an empirical value renders a non-empirical product ( trash science ) . <p> it almost sounds like black holes are the reason for this . Black holes are univeres that have mass but yet we do nt see the interaction of other universes but through dark energy and matter . like there is something in the void of space , but in different realms of universes , through black holes . <p> The Big Bang refers to the beginning of the Space/Time fabric of our universe , two of the four dimensions in which we interact ( intertwined with Mass/Gravity ) . The HOW options are mostly based on speculative mathematical models . <p> All the detractors here have very little understanding of how the scientific method works . Scientists are n't relying on " imaginary " phenomena , dark matter has been indirectly observed because of it 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The big bang is the most accurate theory of the beginning of our universe ; just work the expansion of the universe backwards and you get everything squeezed together in an impossibly small area . Spacetime is a FOUR dimensional plane whose structure is warped by gravity . And yes , the fabric of spacetime is real ; it has profound effects on studying distant supernovae , motion of planets , etc . The fact that time speeds up in space is hugely important for GPS systems , another confirmation of Einsteins relativity . As far as string theory there has not yet been experimental evidence , but the equations worked out seem to reflect the behavior of particles , so the jury is still out . <p> going along with what i said earlier , think that in this particular field of science the scientific method is simply not the best way to go . we have so little understanding or hope of understanding at this point that using the scientific method results in ridiculous theory that those who have little or no background ( read : most of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " say its fact . Those experts half know its bs but they 're just waiting for something to come along and prove it wrong , and until then they 're going to present it as fact ... either we do nt use the scientific method here and wait for technology that can definitively prove some of this stuff or the " experts " need to be giving a big disclaimer that this stuff is only a rough working theory . <p> I believe you would classify me as a senior citizen . I have read a number of books which both promote the Big Bang and debunk it . My take is that the Big Bang concept is nonsense . It comes from nothing ..... please define nothing . Common sense tells us that is impossible . A more realistic approach would be to think of the universe as re-creating itself , creating galaxies then those galaxies extruding quasars which in turn become proto-galaxies . A never-ending process . No beginning , no end , ..... ever . Mass is both created and destroyed at about the same volume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is decrease in the energy of the light . It may gie us a distance measaure , but it does NOT relate to any expansion . It has to do with the characteristic of light being energy , then over the long distances of space , declining in energy , which we detect as the " red shift . " Most main stream cosmologists are so hung up with " what 's in " that they do n't take to time to look at what is correct . Talk about walking blindly down the wrong road , lead by the Pied Piper playing the musical theme to " Here is How the Big Bang Works . " Wake up mainstream , and smell the universe which has no beginning and will have no end . <p> God came to be ... as a result of evolutionary opportunities ; created by consistent inconsistencies out in natural space ( a machine , in essence ) as a product of happenstance , an anomaly . For many , the word machine is a difficult concept to grasp . We are molecular but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that separates us from a rock is the arrangement of particles and the different pressures they are under . Even our consciousness is a product of particle motion and pressure . God knows that it was formed as a machine in natural space and understands that it was a completely random act as far as God knows . God also understands that anyone could have become the first being . <p> The universal complex as well as all of us , were designed , engineered , and built by God ( " altered space " ) , on the other hand , God was formed from the natural rotation of particles that came together at a certain place and time in natural space to form a machine capable of doing all this that God does . Part of understanding God 's natural evolution is to understand that sincerity and desire are components of natural space and are confined within the laws of physics . Natural space existed before the universe . The particles that comprise natural space rotate haphazardly in a roughly defined geometrical pattern . It is an abnormality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slightly altered . Desire is defined as motion with free will . Sincerity is defined as inconsistencies in natural space that become consistent . When sincerity and desire are combined with heat and pressure , particles collapse and eventually , link to one another ( particle integration ) . This process creates evolutionary opportunities . Our very existence proves that a sea of particles existed before we did ! <p> In the case of human physiology , the human body and human consciousness are machines working in similar capacities . Human physiology is a conglomeration of particle chains that rotate in specific directions and are under various pressures , resulting in various particle velocities . Human beings work like machines powered by electricity . Electrons run through our bodies , causing varying hydraulic pressures , thus allowing us to move . In essence , we are a mass of particles that perform specific functions . <p> Particles in natural space move in a somewhat consistent manner , but it is certainly not at all , mechanical . They are pushed and pulled and misshapen as they make their way from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is motion , there is an opportunity for a group of consistent mechanical inconsistencies to occur and this is exactly what happened . Space is infinite and statistically speaking , the chances of this event occurring in time are 100% . This is how the " first being , God " came to be ! <p> When I refer to consistent inconsistencies , I 'm talking about planets , suns and beings . These things do n't occur naturally in space . The dense matter that makes planets , suns and beings what they are , happens because the space that surrounds them is putting consistent pressure on them . Without this consistent pressure being applied , that surrounds us , we would simply all become part of the sea of particles in space . <p> Natural space was void of planets , suns and beings before God came to be . All the materials that make up , what is now , God 's universal complex ( now , " altered space " still within the confines of infinite " natural space " ) , were also present in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " natural space " . The particles that exist in natural space are divided into spherical clusters of particles , one linked to the other . These particle clusters form a geometrical uniform spherical space defined by weight and by the law of physics associated with weight . Since natural space has weight , particle clusters can only be so large ; henceforth , particles within the particle clusters can only be so small which limits their ability to put pressure on their centers . This fact alone eliminates the possibility of the " big bang theory " ! <p> The Big Bang Theory <p> It 's important that we all follow the path of logic , which leads to God . I write these things that I know to be truth because I have seen them with my own eyes . However , it is necessary for each of us to make this trip alone ; following the path of logic , and not the status quo , which eventually leads us all to Paradise ... <p> Since the beginning of time , scientists have been trying to theorize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's generally " accepted contemporary explanation ... is the big bang theory " . This theory , in essence , speculates that the weight of space induced the natural particles in space to become compressed to such a point , that the internal pressure of these particles exploded and expanded at such a rate that this perfectly functioning perpetual motion machine we call the universe , was created . <p> However , the problem with the big bang theory is that the weight of space is constant . You need to comprehend that God 's creation of planets , suns , and beings do n't increase the weight of space . They just cause another part of space to become less dense and as such , one part of space becomes denser , therefore ; not affecting the weight of space , which remains constant . The part of space that is putting pressure on the denser center will become less . Since this natural mechanistic process exists , the plausibility of the Big Bang Theory of space becoming so compressed as to explode would be quite impossible ! <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of particles are always moving in the direction of least resistance . These particles will move to the center of a larger particle ; only then , to be pushed out again by other particles doing the same thing . Particles can only become so small and dense before they move from the place of the greatest pressure and expand naturally as they are pushed once again away from the center to begin another complete orbit from low pressure to high pressure . This process constitutes " particle orbit " . <p> Let 's review ... <p> 1 ) Matter ( planets , suns , beings , etc .... is condensed space . <p> 2 ) Matter maintains its form because of the pressure that surrounds it , if that pressure were not consistent ; all matter would expand into the natural particles that make up infinite space . <p> 4 ) The probability of a machine being formed in natural space , capable of creation , in time , is 100% . <p> 5 ) The " big bang theory " could not have possibly occurred because the pressure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suns and beings . The condensed particles at the center would simply have been pushed from the center when the pressure became too great . The process of particles moving to the center and then out again , following the path of least resistance , constitutes " particle orbit . " <p> One could argue , that this same process could have occurred for all the planets , suns and beings in the universe but logic must prevail ; Was it all of us that were created from the natural motion of particles or , was a being capable of creating all of us , created first ? <p> I " know " the answer to these questions but God needs each of us to follow the same logical path that I had to follow . What I mean by this ... is , never stop asking questions . Then go within and learn to listen for truth from the heart ( not the mind ) which is where God speaks the truth to us and truth will always follow the path of logic . Before we can hear God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop telling God what we believe and

Dual nationals should inquire at a Gambian embassy or consulate regarding their status . <p> In May 2008 , Gambian government leaders , including the country 's president , strongly condemned homosexuality and advocated for greatly increased penalties for anyone harboring homosexuals . However , no legislative action has resulted . The Gambia 's existing laws already criminalize homosexual sex acts , but current laws do not include the death penalty . Violations of the laws against homosexual sex acts are occasionally pursued and Gambian citizens have been prosecuted under these laws . In June 2008 , two Western tourists were detained but not charged under this section of the criminal code . <p> The Gambia has strict laws on the import and export of skin-bleaching creams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1% or more of : hydroquinone ( in any form ) , hydrocortisone ( unless in trace amounts and for specific purposes such anti-itch products ) , betamethasone , flucinonide , clobestatol , or clobestatone are subject to fines up to $2,000 and/or three years imprisonment . <p> Airport police and customs officials routinely inspect incoming and outgoing luggage .

Travelers should always have enough cash to carry them through unexpected bank closures . <p> Credit cards are accepted only at major hotels , some grocery stores , and a few restaurants . Local personal checks from U.S. citizens are accepted only at exchange bureaus and only from U.S. citizens who are resident in The Gambia .

For additional information on malaria , protection from insect bites , and anti-malarial drugs , visit the CDC website . <p> MEDICAL INSURANCE : You ca n't assume your insurance will go with you when you travel . It 's very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your medical insurance will cover you overseas . You need to ask your insurance company two questions : <p> Does my policy apply when I 'm out of the United States ? <p> Will it cover emergencies like a trip to a foreign hospital or a medical evacuation ? <p> In many places , doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash ( local currency ) at the time of service . Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover doctors ' and hospital visits in other countries . If your policy does n't go with you when you travel , it 's a very good idea to take out another one for your trip . For more information , please see our medical insurance overseas page . <p> TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS : While in The Gambia , you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States . The information below concerning The Gambia is provided for general reference only , and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance . <p> Travel in The Gambia is difficult due to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which generally lasts from June through October .

@@5027341 <h> Wednesday , May 23 , 2012 <h> A note about recent changes <p> There 's always a lot going on here at YouTube , and we 're constantly making changes to improve the experience for the entire community . In the last seven years there have been no fewer than 100 changes to the suggested and recommended video algorithms to provide viewers with the most relevant videos to watch . We also make changes to improve the experience for partners . Recently , we 've made changes to provide you with more accurate data about your audience , which in turn helps inform the decisions you make about your content . In the short term , however , the impact for some creators can be a bit of a shock . Let 's outline what we 've done , and what 's in it for you . <p> Subscriber counts : In the past few months we have been scrubbing YouTube of inactive and closed accounts . Why ? Because these accounts had been inactive for years , were not linked to our more up-to-date and secure systems , and , well , nobody uses them . This @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in subscribers . However , this change benefits partners in the long term by giving you a better understanding of who is engaging with your channel . Accurate data is key , and as such , we will now be removing accounts from subscriber counts as they are closed . As the accounts are inactive , these changes wo n't affect viewership . <p> Starting this Saturday , your subscriber counts on your channel and in Analytics will be consistent , and Analytics will show you closed accounts that have been removed : <p> We 've also heard some viewers are concerned that they 've been unsubscribed from channels . This is n't happening . You can see all your channel subscriptions by selecting and saving ' Everything ' from the view drop-down : <p> View count changes : Back in March , we announced changes to the algorithm that serves up suggested and recommended videos , giving greater weight to a viewer 's time spent on a video , rather than to their click . We did this because flipping through channels to find something to watch is different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ engagement are more useful . What does this mean for you ? Well , if people are clicking on your videos , but not sticking around to watch , your videos wo n't get shown as often in suggested and recommended videos and growth in new views may slow . The best way to prevent this is to create compelling videos that people stick around for . Also check out the the Analytics Audience Retention Report and these optimization tips for how to drive engaged views to your videos . <p> While transitions can be hard , the data directly resulting from these changes is really encouraging : net daily subscriptions are up 50% since January and watch time has been increasing in the past 2 months . We 're investing to grow this this even more over the next year as we spend more than $200 million to promote our partners ' content . YouTube creators comprise the most passionate , diverse and talented community in the world . Our mission is to give you the tools and data you need to be successful . <h> 123 comments : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and have it as Everything permanently ! No one wants to lose videos they 've subscribed for . And while you 're at it why not bring back the " most subscribed " list . I 'm sick of having to go on another external site just to see who 's in the top spot etc . <p> Very True , " ... viewers are concerned that they 've been unsubscribed from channels . This is n't happening . " This is complete bull shit . It is proven not only by users but also with the top YouTubers of all time who pretty much run this website . EVERYONES views were affected . ACTIVE subscribers were automatically unsubscribed . <p> There is a quite simple solution to this problem but either google wo n't put it in place or have n't even considered it , the solution would be that a person who has monetized their videos does n't have the ads showing when they watch their own videos . This can also be done with a system put in place that prevents users from clicking an ad more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if a user leaves more than one comment in quick succession . Ok so people can click ads who are not even logged in but it would make it such hard work for a click bomber that it would n't be worth their trouble , there are lots of solutions to this problem but it seems to me google wont take action against the guilty and punish the account holder of the said adsense account instead <p> Please make the default for subscriptions " EVERYTHING " and not " HIGHLIGHTS " - by subscribing to someone , I am telling YouTube that this is what I 'd like to be highlighted on my homepage . It makes no sense for YouTube to decide which people that I 'm subscribed to are more important than the others . <p> I made a video about this issue when it was first introduced , it was also something i brought up many times in feedback to youtube , i stand with everyone who has requested that default is set to everything . The other problem with the homepage feed is the lack of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the feed , we had it with the old layout so why cant we have it in the new <p> I understand getting rid of inactive/unused accounts . But there have been MANY reports , including from my own subscribers , that they are being unsubscribed unknowingly . I asked yesterday if anyone noticed if they 're not longer subscribed , to which I had at least one . Many other more popular youtubers have voiced the same problem . <p> I honestly do n't think people do n't like cosmic panda , it was perfect before it changed ... I still hate the fact that I ca n't close out videos that I 've already watched to filter out the old while leaving the one 's that I have n't watched on the main page . <p> whilst I like the recommended videos most of them are now duplicates , even x'ing them off does n't remove them from the list ... even when you know what I 've watched you still suggest them . Bring back the most subscribed . Default to all videos . Have an option @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wide screens ... Christ I have dead space on the left and the right of the screen . Let me X of a video from my feed like I used to be able to ( eg ) I probably only watch 1 in 10 Machinima videos ) . <p> I have had subscribers unsubscribed youtube . Do not give that " We 've also heard some viewers are concerned that they 've been unsubscribed from channels . This is n't happening . You can see all your channel subscriptions by selecting and saving ' Everything ' from the view drop-down : " <p> I agree with the above . The issue with ' Highlights ' is nothing more an an annoyance to me . I can see the idea of where ' Highlights ' was thought to be a good idea , however ' Everything ' is more of a classic look that allows users to see what videos have come from those they have subscribed to . ' Highlights ' can be a good way to allow those who do n't have enough time to watch videos for long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as a permanent default . having ' Everything ' as the default , and having ' Highlights ' as a secondary , and available feature in settings would work much better . <p> Allow more customization please , and do consider these thoughts . I do n't enjoy having to switch to ' Everything ' everytime i pop on YouTube . Thank you . <p> There is no good reason to default to Highlights . I 'm constantly surprised at how YouTube consistently working against the interests of its users , limiting their options and ignoring their requests , while being incredibly secretive about motives behind changes and upcoming updates . It 's behaviour unlike any other website I 've seen , and is horribly irritating . <p> As always I really appreciate your team NOTICING us all complaining . However to avoid the fact and deny that people are being unsubbed randomly is just wrong . Many popular YouTubers have posted proof on their Twitter and Facebook proving it is really happening . For your team to deny this is a big slap in the face . Just own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on . <p> ugh ok. thank you for the post and updating us BUT you are actually deleting ACTIVE subscribers from all of us ! ! thousands of people have reported it and PROVED it . i tweeted to my followers and asked them to check and see if they were still subbed to me and i had several people right away tell me that they were no longer subbed to me and it was without their doing . so i understand you want to get rid of the inactive accounts , BUT whatever process you are using to do this is extremely flawed and is KILLING US . PLEASE listen to us when we tell you this because it is actually happening and people are voicing it and proving it left and right . it is SO frustrating to work our butt off to gain this audience , and then only to lose so many of them ( ACTIVE ) in just a week . i do n't know how i am going to be able to get a lot of these ACTIVE subscriber back once this purge is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . i ca n't even go on youtube right now because i just get upset every time i go to my channel . youtube i am literally BEGGING you to please fix this ! i do not want to lose anymore ACTIVE subscribers . please listen to us and fix this before it gets any worse ... <p> My thoughts EXACTLY ! I feel SO discouraged right now , cause I 've worked my BUTT off , to get my channel where it is today . : / &; youtube are trying to say we 're lying , even when it 's been blatantly proven , is a kick RIGHT in the face , of us all . <p> I can prove it easily . I have been subbed to a guy called ZephyrnixLive for a ling time now . I went to my subscription page and I clicked on recommendations , and he 's listed in my recommendations with a subscribe button ! I check my list and sure as the world , he 's no longer on there . Noticed this about five minutes ago . <p> Too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the default tab instead of ' Everything ' . I find this feature to be almost pointless . If you 're NOT going to REMOVE it , at least change the default to EVERYTHING . <p> agreed , I have barely been on youtube since this started , it 's driving me insane and even though i worked out within the first minute about the highlights thing , I subbed to people so I could easily access their content , not have them more or less blocked from my homepage , i mean , it 's almost censorship <p> Love4MusicUK you maybe right . i do nt think youtube know what to do . they cant do any more to make web site better . if any thing . fix the bug , remove and auto program they got in the web or make there old tool better like the video editor . but do nt play god with people sub . -. - <p> If you ask me , I think Youtube is actually doing this as a way to try and stop the whole " buy fake subs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where you pay some guy 100 bucks and he uses a bot program to make the ten thousand or so sock accounts he 's made to sub to you and post comments in your vids and what not to make it look like an active sub . But they screwed up their algorithm so its killing live subs as well . Again , with emphasis , if it was having highlights selected instead of everything , they would n't have to be going to my channel page and clicking the subscribe button again . They would n't even HAVE a subscribe button , it would be an unsubscribe button ! <p> Totally scott I loved the x out feature . I want to be able to delete the videos I watched so I can tell what I have n't watched yet . I go to my new videos screen to do this instead sometimes it does n't delete videos I would love this feature back . <p> Auto-Unsunscribing IS happening . I am victim of this myself with some of my Subscriptions and it 's only because I visited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Subscribed . We 're not dumb , YouTube . I do n't know why you are denying this is hapening , but the fact is IT IS . Hundreds , if not thousands of people have been affected . You need to fix this before it 's too late and the content creators leave YouTube all together . I myself have experienced a growing rate of Subscribers , but yet my Subscription number keeps on dropping - what the heck ? Also the Homepage Subscription feed needs to be defaulted to ' Everything ' cause my Subscribers are not getting all of my content . Please fix this . <p> Please either make the default " everything " or get rid of the " highlights " option . I subscribed to channels for a reason--I want to see ALL of their videos . I do n't want to miss videos because I did n't realize that " highlights " was checked . At the very least , make it so that " everything " stays checked and does n't revert to " highlights " every day . <p> I just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been automatically unsubscribed from me ! I am losing around 1000 subscribers a day so I really do hope they are all in fact dead accounts and not people still using the site ! <p> So over a 1000 lost subs and no new ones being added is not the issue according to you ? So what is happening with my new subs telling me they have not been added and have been removed ? You have a bug on your hands . The sooner you realise and acknowledge that the better for Youtube and me . <p> I have to agree on the comments regarding the view options ; the default makes no sense . What makes it even worse is the fact that it is hidden behind an inconspicuous menu that does n't show the current setting until you click on it . <p> Also , like TrindeLLian , I 'm still not a fan of the new Comic Panda layout . For example , I remember way back , when I was ye high , we could see up to 10 ( 12 ? ) new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , 2 when not closing the ad . <p> I understand the idea behind the changes , as well as the importance of aesthetics , but I feel the site 's usability has dropped dramatically in the last few months . <p> I would n't mind the highlights option if it was actually showing me the channels I watch the most . Right now it usually hides the users I always always always click to see their new video , and its bringing back obscure channels I once subscribed to and now rarely actually watch . <p> I have LITERALLY pages of visual proof that people have been unsubscribed to my channel unwillfully , tons of comments from viewers who have testified they will subscribe to me one day only to be unsubscribed the next ( as in , the subscribe button will be yellow saying to " subscribe " instead of " unsubscribe " as it should if they were already subscribed ) . <p> My account is http : **33;2488;TOOLONG and this glitch has cost me thousands of subscribers now , I have boatloads of emails from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ appropriate for proof of this . <p> Please do n't say people are n't being unsubscribed when 5 minutes on any big youtuber 's comment sections for a given video say otherwise . <p> How can you guys CLAIM it is n't happening , and we 're lying , when you see ALL these people making video 's , and complaining about it , on twitter ? ? I mean , how can you guys even CONSIDER yourselves " Youtube " anymore .. When you 've practically tooken the " You " out of " Youtube ? ? " : / <p> Every stinkin ' time I get on any " site " something 's " changed " ! " Could n't match the user name with password , that one is already being used , a new way to " post photos " , you 're going to like this new timeline , instead of this .. do this , and go to that to find out how to do this , then go to start and run this and that will show you how to download this and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Adobe Flash to show you how to upload the new version of Windows 444444.44 million . " It 'll only take a couple seconds " It 's a bunch of GARBAGE ! I hate this thing ! <p> Why is it that we can no longer get our subscriptions achieve in full . Someone explain to me why past videos are not showing up ? All these changes you re making to youtube and google are just gon na destroy the internet 's best search engine . <p> Why are no responses from YOU TUBE . What is this , some top-down operation where you push out your information then clam up and let the little people fuss amongst themselves . Where the hell is your social media . You people are terrible representatives of the culture you are trying to " sell " new subscribers -- interaction . <p> But we HAVE been losing subscribers from ACTIVE accounts . This has been proven by many Youtubers , including myself . I posted about it on my Twitter and Facebook , and some people had to resubscribe . Not cool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ YouTube homepage to go to your subscriptions . Click on your own channel name , go to subscriptions from there and you get everything in a nice 4 column layout with no recommended videos or anything . Make a shortcut in your browser and you 're all set . I 've been doing it this way for years and all my subscriptions show up . <p> I wish Youtube would just tell the truth . I 've had subscribers tell me that they were unsubbed to my channel without their knowledge . They told me before I even discovered it . All of them re-subbed back . This is going to come back to haunt Youtube . You ca n't conduct a business model this way without losing the base that made you what you are . It happened to Netflix , and it will happen to you . Also , I thought you were supposed to have this purging over and done with by February . It seems never ending , and it 's really disheartening for people who work so hard . I really do n't think you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you care about profit and the bottom line . <p> Also , you are not ' improving the experience ' for the Youtube community as your blog states . You are killing them with a thousand paper cuts . I 'd prefer if Youtube would just get this subscriber purge over with quickly . People would rather know how many subscribers they 're losing ( immediately ) rather than have to wait for weeks to know that it 's finally over with . <p> ok. this getting very old . again i have someone who just sub to me got push off my sub list . THIS REALLY NEED TO BE FIX . how do your blog help anyone ( o.O ) do you real think people making this stuff up just for the heath . <p> YOU ARE FUCKING IDIOTS YOUTUBE . YOUVE JUST INSULTED EVERYONE ON YOUTUBE . PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR SUBS . YOU PUT OUT THIS BULLSHIT ? ? YOU BIG SHOTS ON YOUTUBE , go watch this video , http : //www.youtube.com/watch ? v=ZPK ... Youve insulted people by saying " We 've also heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ channels . This is n't happening . " There has even been a picture on Twitter , of a person who lost EVERYSSINGLE ONE of the people he subbed to . He logged on and it told him he had no subscribers . Fix your fucking Website and stop telling people that were stupidd , click this , itll fix everything . WE are not childs . Go watch the video . <p> I ca n't believe YouTube would think that their own users would n't even know how to use the site . This is lazy and unprofessional of the entire YouTube creators . If YouTube would focus on improving their customer to business relationship instead of implementing useless changes to their site , they would get a lot more done . <p> Telling long-time site users and creators ... some of which have views and subscriptions in the MILLIONS ... that their users are n't getting un-subbed to their channels against their will ? Even though we 've received thousands of such messages from our fans ? THEN suggesting that the fix is to look at a drop-down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't know how to use the site ? <p> Unprofessional , insulting , and wrong . An apology is owed to your Userbase for this blog post . <p> This is n't a glitch ? Give me a break ... You guys are basically flipping off all of us users who are trying to help you to fix these bugs we 've found . <p> Clean up your mess , and stop playing this condescending little game . It 's very , VERY unprofessional of whoever is responsible to even post an article like this . Fix the frigging problem and come clean with the fact that you messed up . That 's all we ask . <p> I do n't care who it is that wrote this ... it 's downright rude , and totally unacceptable to all of us long time users of the site . Fix the problem , and say you 're sorry for this absurdly insulting post . <p> I can even deal with the forced channel layouts , but when the site I 've been uploading to for the past four years decides to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , thats when I draw the line . Enough is enough . We are n't idiots . <p> You guys really love to piss off your fans . I 've been in YouTube for six years but have been doing game videos for more than five . What you guys are doing is unacceptable , disrespectful and insulting to your consumers and all who use YouTube . <p> All I want to say is this ... FIX YOUR SHIT NOW ! ! ! I 'm sick of losing subscribers and I 'm totally sick of having to deal with your excuses and lies . I 've made a video about it and so have many others . Do us a favor and fix your shit ! FIX IT DAMN IT ! Not to mention ... you owe ALL OF US an apology . Got that ? <p> This WHOLE article , is a MAJOR insult , to us long timer USERS . WE KNOW wtf is happening , or else we would n't be BITCHING &; CONSTANTLY COMPLAINING ABOUT IT ! ! You 're taking us for fools , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have had ALL the got damn proof you need , on the site itself , and threw twitter . What else do you need ? ? &; for that matter , how can you be SO stupid , to keep asking for " Proof " and saying it 's not happening ? ? SERIOUSLY ? ? HOW MUCH MORE , DO YOU HONESTLY NEED ? ! ? ! I worked hard on my channel for 3 YEARS STRAIGHT , TO GET THE VIEWS I GOTTEN , AND TO GET THE SUBS I GOT . Now , I 'm slowly watching it go down the drain , cause you " monkeys " .. wan na just brush this off as us lying , and it 's not happening . If this is purging , then do the shit in one GO , AND NOT DAY BY DAY , HOUR BY HOUR AND MINute BY MINUTE ! ! I 've lost views , I 'm losing SUBS , and now losing HOPE , that I 'll ever make vids again , if this stupid glitch/problem DOES N'T come fixed ! ! <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of you guys , your response , would have been differently put . REAL TALK ! ! <p> And what happened to our long bios ? It took me a week to think of everything ! I want that back ! In fact , I think it would be easier if the old YouTube channel were still around ! Nothing was wrong with it ! If it ai n't broke , do n't bother fixin ' it ! And you guys are wasting time with this ! Too much change ! We ca n't keep up ! No wonder people are closing their accounts ... <p> Bull . If it was just the subscription view , the people who have PM 'd me saying they were unsubbed to my channel would not have had to go to my channel page and click the Subscribe button to get me back on their list . Explain how not having EVERYTHING selected on the subscription page would cause them to go to my channel page and the button at the top says Subscribe instead of unsubscribe so they have to click subscribe to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blog post . <p> " Starting this Saturday , your subscriber counts on your channel and in Analytics will be consistent , and Analytics will show you closed accounts that have been removed " ... <p> So how can you be sure that on Saturday , that it 'll be consistent ? How can you prove that you do n't have yet ANOTHER glitch . <p> I mean really ... this is the same youtube that , just very recently , for at least a week they had a huge glitch where most people receieved " Content ID Claim " even though they had none , then their 15 minute limit were taken away for no good reason . <p> People are n't as dumb as you seem to think ... if hundreds of folks actually say ' Yes , I got unsubbed and I had to sub back ' , do you just think they 're just making it up or being ignorant ? <p> Again ... you guys just had a huge , tremendous glitch where hundreds and hundreds of people , just out of the blue , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was a GLITCH from YOUTUBE &; GOOGLE ... not us the Users . <p> So please , explain to us how you can be SURE that this Saturday it 'll be steady , that this is n't another glitch like you just had recently , that you 're NOT getting active subs kicked off when they have SAID ( by hundreds of folks telling others ' hey , i got unsubbed to you ' . Cause that little trick you said up above ... it does n't work ! So yes , it IS happening . <p> I mean no offense , but maybe youtube and Google should grow up and act like the billion dollar business that they are , instead of just going " It 's not us , it 's YOU " . <p> I noticed that I was unsubscribed from a few a people and did n't unsubscribe from them myself . I want to see my subscriptions so I have all of the videos posted sent to my email . I would love to have the youtube sub box that we had where we had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them . It uncluttered my sub box and seeing as I 'm subscribed to over 240 channels videos are posted all the time and are easily lost . We should have a choice to make ' highlights ' or ' everything ' default it should n't automatically go to ' highlights ' as other people have said I subscribed to channels to see the content they put out . Also another problem I 've notice is the big youtubers losing tons of views like Mysteryguitarman his videos used to get a million or more views and now he 's lucky if they reach 500,000 and that 's really bad seeing as he has over 2 million subscribers <p> I had to comment on this again because this is really starting to piss me off . Do you have any idea that what you are doing is going to end up killing not just my channel but many others . Go to hell YouTube . Go . To . Fucking . Hell ! <p> Why is it that no one who works at YouTube knows how this website really works and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hire an actual content producer to be on their team . When I meet them at VidCon and PlaylistLive I always feel like I have a way better understanding of what 's going on than they do ! <p> One thing I would like is for YouTube to allow when you go to your new subscriptions page to be able to delete videos you have already watched currently you have to click on the video to delete but that does n't always work . I also like to create playlists of videos I do n't have time to watch now to watch later . I would like to be able to put those videos into my playlist in a simpler way now maybe just checkmark a mass bunch and put in a playlist and make it easier to delete videos <p> so now you finally realised that us users lost their subscribers ! here is my fucking story based on truth you greedy cheating son of a bitch , on my youtube channel " MrATAndreiThomas " at first i had 11,100 subscribers and now it dropped down to 9,404 as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ! ! you make me so sick ! my viewership is going fucking slow , to point i hate you with a passion . <p> do you know how fucking long i been building up my channel ? every fucking month from the last 2 years when i had my channel and the present . you can suck my black cockney londoner fucking dick and fuck off . <p> Seems to me that every time we get a new subscriber we loose subscribers , i 've just checked my e mail in box and it shows around 100 new subscribers this week , subscriber count has nt gone up on my channel but gone down by around the same amount as who have subscribed , the new subscribers are not being added to the count . I do n't believe for a second these are old or inactive accounts being deleted as i reg check my subscriber list and check if the channels are still active , it 's something i 've always done in my time on youtube . There is a problem and the sooner the powers to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even when youtube did the big purge i only lost a handful of subscribers from my count , there is something very wrong with the system and i blame most of the problems on this new layout and g+ being linked to our youtube accounts , we never had these kinds of problems before the change over . This whole situation is now getting beyond a joke , at the rate i 'm going i wont have any subscribers this time next month <p> So you guys are basically calling thousands of people from youtube , twitter and facebook LIARS ? Are you saying that we are lying to you about our subscribers COMPLAINING to us about being unknowingly UN-UBSCRIBED ? REALLY ? ! Could n't you guys come up with something a little better than " This is not happening . " Whoever wrote this sounds like a 5 year old child who do n't want to get in trouble .

Please stop trying to lie to our faces and face the truth . You guys screwed up and are in way over your head ! <p> Do n't bother . They 're not listening . There were a million complaints when the X was gone from the video feed , and they never put it back . Now with this " recommended videos " thing being forced on me , and being unable to X them , my feed is 80% clutter . I ca n't find anything I want . Subscribing became useless .

It says they were deleting accounts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been on youtube for less than a year , so obviously everyone that had subscribed to me had been active , so I seem to find that to be a false statement ... <p> Can you guys explain why when I search for " World of Warcraft " or " kitten " , the top page search results are dominated by music videos from VEVO owned channels that have NOTHING to do with either keyword ? ? <p> Sympathetic of who is engaging with your channel . Accurate data is key , and as such , we will now be removing accounts from subscriber counts as they are closed . As the accounts are inactive , these changes wo n't affect viewership . <p> Hey , YouTube . Go fuck yourself . I 've read through all the comments and they are complaining about this highlights and everything shit . I 've also noticed that people are complaining that you YouTube bastards are ignoring us all . I have even more complaints for you YouTube idiots . One thing is you spelled Favorites wrong . It is supposed to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scrambling the date up .

And in order to mess with another 20 I have to shut my whole browser down and come back to the same place I was at . I only get about 2 subs a month and about 10 removed a month .

Please , please , please give us an option to separate the subscriptions and the recommendations ! <p> The Highlights shit is still fucking unusably bad Google . Just ditch that system entirely . It keeps defaulting back to Highlights which is not a view I /ever/ want to be using . When I subscribe to something my expectation is to see /every/ video .

So ignorant of your own issues , and you basically call your customers morons . <p> Please let us delete videos from the ' my subscriptions ' page . I watch over 40 lets players and subscriptions , but with all the videos on my subs page , I ca n't possible watch them all , and there are a bunch every day that do n't appeal to my particular interests , even though I love the channel as a whole . For example , Davetheusher one of my fav LPers is doing Tokyo Jungle as a game , which I have no interest in , but I love his other projects at the moment .

Every month I would send a message begging for someone to respond and I never heard from anyone . I used to be Googles biggest fan and now I 'm just devastated . I 'll never get that footage back . <p> I 'm EXTREMELY frustrated with how google/youtube is handling this . It 's been months and still no fix to this subscriber glitch !

I 've been using youtube since early 2007 , and not once have i been so disappointed with it . I want to see an accurate count

@@5027441 <h> Abstract <p> Throughout the world , latest Permian records of organic-walled microfossils are characterized by the common presence of remains of filamentous organisms , usually referred to the palynomorph genus Reduviasporonites . Although generally regarded as indicators of global ecological crisis , fundamental controversy still exists over the biological and ecological identity of the remains . Both fungal and algal affinities have been proposed . We seek to resolve this enigma by demonstrating close morphological similarity of the microfossils to resting structures ( monilioid hyphae , sclerotia ) of Rhizoctonia , a modern complex of soil-borne filamentous fungi that includes ubiquitous plant pathogens . By analogy with present-day forest decline , these findings suggest that fungal virulence may have been a significant contributing factor to widespread devastation

@@5027841 <h> Come to the Table : Jerusalem , live in the kitchen <h> There 's so much splendid cuisine in the Holy City ; transport yourself there with these Jerusalem-inspired recipes . <p> Photo : Gayle Squires <p> An Israeli and a Palestinian living in England wrote a cookbook about Jerusalem . Authors Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi , born in the same year on opposite sides of the city , make a dynamic duo . They met in London , and , over a decade ago , founded the eponymous restaurant that grew into a small chain and spurred three cookbooks . Jerusalem : A Cookbook , published last month , is their most recent venture . Not merely a cookbook , it is a beautifully photographed chronicle of a journey home , in which Jerusalem plays the starring role . <p> To fully appreciate this trip to Jerusalem , it helps to study the two cookbooks that preceded it and the photographs and text that give shape to each one 's theme . <p> The pair 's first collaboration , Ottolenghi : The Cookbook , was initiated by restaurant customer demand and contains mostly menu favorites . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Like the market vendor , we make the best of what we have and do n't interfere with it too much . We keep foods as natural as possible , deliberately avoiding complicated cooking methods . " This is evidenced by the colorful photographs that accompany over half the recipes in the book . Each one demonstrates how this technique keeps ingredients as close as possible to their origins , eschewing tiny brunoise dicing to allow each individual element to shine . All non-food pictures create a portrait of the restaurant family , from cooks to servers to customers to window-peering passersby . <p> Plenty , a collection of recipes from Ottolenghi 's The New Vegetarian weekly column in The Guardian , shapes itself around one key ingredient in each recipe . The full-page pictures highlight the food and the food only , with simple plates , monotone backgrounds , and not a distracting cute cup or funky napkin in sight . Case in point , the cover of this second book shows eggplant with buttermilk sauce : two roasted eggplants , split lengthwise on an off-white dish , lightly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seeds . I suspect that the photographs are what pushed PIenty to nearly cult status . <p> Drawing upon the success of Plenty , Jerusalem ' s recipe photos are also barely-adorned vibrant one-pagers , presenting the food in its unadulterated glory . But it 's the almost 50 pictures of life in Jerusalem -- from markets to bus stops to denizens spanning the religious and ethnic spectrum -- that tell the real story . It 's as if the city itself is the not-so-silent third author . Not only does the book 's introduction include a several-thousand-year history of the region , it dedicates several pages to more sensitive issues : " the passion in the air " - with its positives and negatives -- and the inability to trace recipe ownership to a specific ethnicity or group . <p> And nearly every Jerusalem recipe has not one , but two , introductory paragraphs . As is common in most cookbooks , one italicized introduction describes the dish , suggests accompaniments , and provides preparation hints . <p> Unique to Jerusalem , though , is the recipe preamble -- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- which can sometimes be longer than the recipe itself . <p> For example , in Ottolenghi , char-grilled cauliflower with tomato , dill and capers is introduced , " Like broccoli , cauliflower can be rather dull . So here we give it the classic Ottolenghi treatment ... " But in Jerusalem , the preamble to fried cauliflower with tehina says , " This dish is usually served in the context of a large meze assortment , laid out on the table at the beginning of a substantial meal ... <p> It is hard to overstate how deeply rooted communal eating is in the culture and the temperament of Jerusalem and the wider region . " <p> With all this talk about the books , it 's about time we got to the food itself.I 've prepared a handful of recipes from each book , and the dishes taste as bright and striking as they look on the page . Jerusalem draws on the rich tapestry of the city 's diverse cuisine and emphasizes recipes centered on seasonal ingredients and common to most home kitchen . Aside from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and tomato salad , there are fried tomatoes with garlic , parsnip and potato latkes , and quince stuffed with lamb . Desserts are often syrup-soaked , like sweet nut-filled filo cigars , semolina cake with orange blossom water , and malabi milk pudding . <p> Reflecting the entire Jerusalemite population , there are also several shellfish recipes , though I could n't find any pork . <p> The flavors are bold and strong ; central to most recipes is lemon and garlic , and lots of it . And it 's worth a trip to a Middle Eastern grocery store for some of the other commonly-used ingredients : pomegranate syrup , silan date honey , orange blossom and rose waters , tehina sesame paste , sumac spice , and za'atar . <p> With no travel plans to Jerusalem on the horizon , I plan to bring the city into my kitchen . My copy of Jerusalem is already crumb covered , and I 've dog-eared the tomato and sourdough soup , braised chicken sofrito , lamb kofta meatballs , and chocolate kranz cake ( better known as babka ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flavors into your kitchen too . <p> Recipes <p> Both of these recipes have a tehina-based sauce . Make sure to refrigerate your tehina after opening because it can go rancid quickly ( the same is true of sesame and nut oils ) . If the tehina separates , heat it up slightly to make it easier to mix . When you first add liquid to the tehina , it will thicken but quickly loosen up as you stir . Add enough liquid so sauce is about same consistency of honey . I 've been told the most authentic brand you can buy outside of Israel is Roland . <p> Roasted cauliflower with tehina Serves 8 as a side dish <p> Adapted from Jerusalem : A Cookbook . The original recipe calls for frying the cauliflower , but I simplified it with a quick roast in the oven . I made it with multicolored cauliflower , having found purple , green , and yellow varieties in the grocery store . This makes a lot of dressing . I had enough left over after five heads of cauliflower to drizzle over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and a few kale salads . Feel free to make only half of the dressing . <p> - 3 heads of cauliflower - 8-10 scallions - 1 small bunch parsley - 1 small bunch mint - 3 cloves garlic - 2 lemons for zest and juice - 4 tablespoons olive oil , divided - cuptahina - 2/3cup Greek yogurt ( I used 1% fat ) - 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses , plus extra for drizzling - About cup water - Salt and pepper Preheat the oven to 218 ? C. Prep . Trim the end of each cauliflower and then quarter them through their cores . Cut out the cores and then break the vegetable apart into bite-sized florets . Cut the scallions in 2- to 3-inch pieces . Roughly chop the parsley and mint -- you 'll need cup of each for the dressing ; reserve any extra for garnish . Mince the garlic . Zest one lemon .

When the oil is shimmering , add the scallions and saut for about five minutes until they begin to color . Transfer to a bowl to cool . Whisk . Spoon the tehina into a bowl and mix in the yogurt , garlic , herbs , lemon zest , cup of lemon juice , pomegranate molasses . Slowly pour in the water , whisking with each addition . Only add enough water to get the sauce to a thick , smooth pourable consistency , similar to honey . Taste a floret dipped in the sauce , and season with salt , pepper , and lemon juice . <p> Serve . Mix the vegetables with the sauce . Drizzle with pomegranate molasses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ squash and red onion with tehina and za'atar Serves 4 as a side dish <p> Adapted from Jerusalem : A Cookbook . The combination of roasting and za'atar give the dish a smoky flavor . Feel free to experiment with other types of squash and pumpkin -- just adjust the roasting time accordingly . <p> Cut . Peel and seed squash , and cut into thin ( 3/4 -- inch ) wedges approximately 2-inches long . Cut the onions into 1-inch wedges . <p> Mix . In a large bowl , toss the squash and onions with three tablespoons of oil , and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper . <p> Roast . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil . Spread the vegetables on the sheet and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes . They 're ready when they start to brown and are tender .

Add the pine nuts with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes until the nuts start to brown . Remove from the heat and transfer the nuts into a small bowl to stop the cooking . <p> Serve . To serve , spread the vegetables on a platter , drizzle with tehina , and sprinkle with za'atar , pine nuts , and parsley ( if using ) . I like to eat this at room temperature .

There are quite a few reviews already that hit most of the big points so I 'll try to keep it real : *yes it 's close to the road but if you 're in a cottage you ca n't hear the traffic , plus they have noise generating alarm clocks . *the cottages are clean and nicely provided with enough for two drams of port wine and fluffy robes . Couples - the tub is worth it . Trust us . ( Cue heavy bass 70 's funk music ) *food is tasty and nicely presented at breakfast . We 're not used to eating right when we get up , but the pancakes and sausage did n't last long . *we had no interaction with anyone until we checked out , and Dennis was pleasant . We 'll be back . Harrisonburg and the surrounding area are nice , and this B &B; has a few deals with local wineries and spas . <h> Review from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but has many major downsides . At first we were shocked at how close it was to the " side of the road . " They 're not kidding- it 's right there- next to a major highway . And in a residential-like neighborhood . Kind of disturbs your peaceful balcony sitting when cars keep coming by- not a great view from the house . I will agree with the other reviews in that the breakfast tried to be fancy , but was n't enough for my husband . Neither was the picnic lunch- just a pack of pretzels ( those snack stick kind ) , a small hunk of cheese , a piece of french bread , and an orange . That 's not really a lunch . <p> I will also agree with the other reviewer that the rooms were clean and nice but the setup was n't great to see the tv ( which was really old and small ) and I was shocked at the gratuity envelope . Really made us feel uncomfortable- especially after we checked online to see what others had to say @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not expected . The sign made it seem like it was rude if you did n't tip . <p> Our overall major problem , however , was the attitude of the innkeepers . Maybe all B &B; innkeepers are like this ( we just experienced another bad time a few weeks before ) . Dennis was rude and made us feel bad about coming towards the end of the check-in window- the check in was from 3-6 and we came around 5:30 and he made us feel like we were inconveniencing him . I know others have said that the lady was nicer , but get down to it , and she was just as rude as Dennis . When something happens she is very condescending and is fakely sweet- says everything will be fine but then charges you for any issues . Very upsetting . <p> We came here to relax and overall , this did not do the trick . We hated our weekend . <p> This couple revealed that this weekend was their " pre-wedding escape . " Since it appears nothing was to their satisfaction , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pre-wedding stress experienced by most couples . Most unfortunately , a bottle of red wine destroyed the valuable bright yellow quilt on the bed . This couple was responsible for the loss and we are certain this contributed to their negative feelings about the inn . Any review required the time of the patron and is appreciated . <h> Review from Zach W. <p> My wife and I have been to a lot of B &Bs; in the Shenandoahs - each has it 's strengths &; weaknesses . But I have never seen an establishment strive for mediocrity quite like this one . Maybe it 's because I 'm a foodie that I found this place particularly offensive . Your breakfast is microwave prepared Kirkland products , so is the " picnic " which consists of a block of tasteless co-jack cheese , two measly out of season clementines , and pretzels . <p> But most surprising of all were the attitudes of the proprietors . When I originally booked my stay , I was told to call if I thought I might be later than 9pm . So at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pretty awful storm , that 's what I did . Janice answered , and I reported my situation . She said something to the effect of , " oh no , this just wo n't do . " I pleaded , saying we would n't be that late , and she became even more uneasy , then said she 'd have her husband call me . Dennis calls when I 'm 20 miles outside of DC . The first thing he has to tell me is " you 'll have to come tomorrow " -- not asking me my status , feeling out the situation , just rigidly telling me I have one option . I pushed back and said this frankly was not very polite or acceptable , as they never warned me of a turn-away policy . <p> We arrived at 9:11 , and I made a big effort to apologize for everything , and said I wanted to be on a good foot , and thanked them for staying up all of 11 minutes for us ( but said it nicer than that ) . Dennis proceeded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to one of the bars if we wanted , saying they stayed open late . My wife asked politely , " what 's late ? " and he shot back , " This is late . " <p> Dennis also gave us a hard time at checkout , asking rudely why I never returned their picnic basket - I calmly told him we left it in our room on the table for him to find . <p> So not only was the food cheap and unimaginative , but we had very passive aggressive hosts - and to validate this gripe , just see their responses to the negative review by Tatyana V ( wow , that is not how you handle a negative review ) . Oh , and I tipped them $40 in the envelope marked GRATUITY that stares you in the face for your entire stay . At least I took the high ground . <p> We look back fondly on Zach and Victoria 's visit and remember a pleasant conversation with them on Saturday morning . We would offer the following facts about our menu : Our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our Country Pancakes ( from Marian Cunningham 's Breakfast Book ) with our homemade original-recipe Orange Cardamom Syrup on Saturday and a Fines Herb Souffle on Sunday , also made from scratch .

In the morning , a breakfast basked was waiting outside the door for us , filled with caramel waffles , fruit , juice and coffee . Very nice to wake up to . The place is full of other nice little touches : candy basket here , plush bathrobes there . <p> The owner seems a little crusty : he gave us a little guff for asking to check out an hour later than planned . That 's the only negative I can think of . <h> Review from Fred L. <p> My wife purchased a Living Social coupon valid for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use it to stay there due to scheduling issues .

The rooms are very clean and we really felt at home . They even provided DVD 's , games , books and magazines . You can tell that they went above and beyond with providing other necessities within the room/bathroom .

And wow , what a deal ! A stay here is easily worth more than we paid for it . Great value ! <p> We arrived the Saturday of Labor Day weekend , for our two night stay . Dennis , one of the innkeepers , was friendly and gracious greeting us , and gave us a nice little tour of the property . ( We met Janice , his wife , at breakfast the next day . ) After that , their service was fantastic when we needed it but unobtrusive otherwise , which is exactly what you want on a romantic weekend away . <p> Our room , the 1790 suite , was bigger than half of the 1-bedroom apartments I 've been in .

The second day we had blueberry pancakes which were fine ; better than you 'd get at , say , a diner , but not as good as my mom 's . ; ) The first day , though , we had these AMAZING little souffles . I 've never had anything like it . I will remember that fondly for quite some time . <p> Other than that , the package we got included plenty . We enjoyed the local restaurant and vineyard and ice cream . I might not recommend being there on a Saturday/Sunday as we were , as it seems that half of Harrisonburg is still closed on Sundays , and that will severely limit your options for where to go and what to do . <p> If you 're looking to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this is a great place to do it !

I was also taken aback by the sort of gruff attitude of Dennis - impatient and not very welcoming - especially when contrasted with a very brief interaction with Janice , who is warm and friendly . <h> Review from Adam H. <p> My fiance and I were just married on Dec 27th and spent our wedding night and the next 2 nights at By the Side of the Road B &B.; It was an amazing place to stay and I highly recommend it .

The Fitzgerald Cottage was built in the 1800 's and is a two story building were as the Quill is a ranch style . The Fitzgerald cottage has a great feeling of history to it and the real wood burning fireplace ( as opposed to gas in the Quill Cottage ) gives it a charmingly old-fashioned appeal . Overall we very much liked both cottages , but the Fitzgerald is defintely unique in its history , spiral staircase , double decks , and wood burning stove . You ca n't go wrong with either though .

The slatted , wipe-clean vinyl blinds represented a pink dawn with rose-tinged bulbous cumuli . The candlewick bath-mat , with its hide-like rubber backing , was lavender-coloured and so was the candlewick crescent snugly clutching the lavatory pedestal and the lavatory lid . On the top of this , alert for house-sounds , and urgently concentrating , perched Professor Mortimer P. Cropper . It was 3:00 A.M.

There was no saving it . <p> I just closed two weeks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out there was termite-damage . We had to completely gut my bedroom and bathroom . My dream come true has become a bit of a nightmare , but we are weathering it alright . <p> The bathroom we had to demolish was *so* very pink , but not in a retro cool way that you would want to keep -- it was pink and brown . Salmon pink tile , with burnt raisin brown tile trim , and the toilet and sink were a regular pink , but clashed with the salmon , so the overall effect was barfy .

Count me in for taking the pledge . <p> I fell in love with this 1945 house when I saw one of the bathrooms : it 's pink tile ( walls and floor ) with green tile edging PLUS a square bathtub .

It seems like every week these young people who 've never owned a home look at wonderful old bathrooms and original tile and say " that has to go " . What are they thinking ? Beige tiles from Home Depot ? <p> Andrea on November 19th , 2008 11:06 am <p> I pledge ! We have a 1960 ? s built home with a pink bathroom , and lots of other wonderful mid-century original features . Think recessed lounge room lighting behind the pelmet , giving a cascade effect down the curtains at night ! The original owners tell us they used to have red and blue flouro lights in there ! ( Have n't quite got to restoring those yet ! ) . We love it ! I just found this website and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on November 20th , 2008 12:50 am <p> I PLEDGE ! I bought a 1959 ranch in Pittsburgh 3 years ago , and after the 3 diamond windows in the front door and the circular laundry shoot in the kitchen , the TWO pink bathrooms were definitely the top selling points . The hallway bath is pink and grey , featuring pink tub , pink toilet and pink Barbie-esque vanity with peg legs and the fixtures on a slant ( two photos features on this website ) . The master bath is about closet-sized and is yellow and pink , with a pink toilet and pink sink . The best feature , though , is the incredibly small yellow triangular shower that barely fits one person . <p> Here in Pittsburgh we have a great architectural salvage warehouse called Construction Junction . I know there is something similar in Baltimore and probably several other cities . Great place to find old tubs , sinks , toilets in every color , plus fixtures . Not always bargains , though . <p> Many many years ago I worked for the publishing arm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a book that I got to name -- The Well-Appointed Bath -- which basically reprinted pages from early American Standard catalogs . I see some of them here . It was quite a status symbol to have these bathrooms after WWII ! ! ! The book is out of print but you could probably find it online . <p> We applaud your effort ! One of our customers told us about this site . Yes , we also love those great pink ( &; other colored ) bathrooms . And yes , we are an architectural salvage firm that sells , YES-PINK vintage toilets , sinks , bath accessories , tubs &; more ! We believe in saving all those fab bathroom pieces . If you do n't have the love for those wonderful old vintage bathrooms ... at least have the sense to recycle the items so someone else can have the opportunity to have &; enjoy them .

It broke my heart to discover that the bath had once been tiled with pink hex tiles , but some cretin remodeled it and tiled it in beige . I long for a day when I can own a house with an original or a retro-fitted pink bathroom . <p> I just found your site and Flickr group . I currently live in a vintage house ( with a plain white bathroom that was remodeled in the 70 ? s with boring white tile , that is now worn and cracking . ) I am hoping someday to purchase this little house and Remodel the heck out of it .

I did add a new toilet and sink when I bought , and replaced the horriffic laminate flooring with white tile . It adds such character to the house ! <p> But , here is my dilemma : the person that owned the house before us replaced the pink toilet seat with a new one that does n't quite match . And the tank is cracked .

Of course , later owners in the 70 ? s replaced most of the fixtures with 1970 ? s bathroom chic , but we found the original sink and toilet in the garage ! We then re-plumbed it , and re-installed ! <p> I pledge ! I just bought a house built in 1904 and they remodeled one of the bathrooms in the 50s .

Also , it works , so why toss it in the landfill and spend money @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tiles are halfway up the wall : grey with a row of black at the top . The lino is curling and has to be replaced , have n't decided what to go with , but we 're removing the moldy wallpaper on the upper half of the wall and painting it fushia . Not sure how it will look , but have a feeling it will be awesome . <p> I take the pledge a long time ago ... in fact , years ago to love the color pink forever and forever . I have a pink toilet sitting in my garage ( mint ) that is waiting for a pink bathtub ( northern Michigan , if anyone has one ) . PINK RULES ! <p> Love that you are embracing all things pink , especially in the bathroom . Your images are inspiring and motivating . Thanks for this .. I will be sure to point all my pink friends in your group 's direction . <p> Who needs pink tile ? I removed it from the walls of a small bathrooom . I think it 's 50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the back . They could use a little cleaning from the thinset and grout . They are about 4 inches . Some are from the shower and some from the walls .

I 'll probably list them on eBay if I do n't get a response soon . <p> Ellen on March 9th , 2009 2:03 pm <p> I adore my parents ' pink bathroom in their early 1960s home . I pledge to continue advocating that they keep their pink tile along with the light brown and pink floral wallpaper with splashes of silver as well as the tiny mirror that 's painted with a pink and brown Vogue cover from the 1910s or 20s . What can I say ? I 'm a sentimental gal . <p> A year ago while house-shopping , we saw a wonderful two-bedroom GI Bill style house with a pink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , gloss white painted walls above it , and shiny chrome faucets . I fell in love with the bathroom and even Mr. Bassora thought the bathroom was really nice . We have now owned the house for a year . Mr. Bassora added a pink toilet seat on the white American Standard ( he actually likes pink ... for the bathroom ) . A clear shower curtain ( being held up by white flowers ) allow us to see the pink plastic lace curtains above the bathtub . I have added various pink ( and some white ) items -- can sometimes find REALLY good deals at Target . I love our pink bathroom . I 've had friends actually compliment our littlest room in the house . <p> Michelle on March 12th , 2009 10:09 pm <p> I pledge to keep my pink bathroom in my Craftsman style house .

We 've begun peeling away the 70s renovations , as well as washing away 50 years of wear and tear . <p> I think this must have been a very low end , starter house . The shower is tiled in pink , with pink around the sink basin , but the toilet and other porcelain fixtures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I think a white toilet would look fine . <p> What would n't look fine is brown/gray vinyl asphalt flooring . I 'm afraid we 're going to have to cover that ! It 's a very small bathroom , so we 'll probably be able to afford to do a nifty mosaic tile , but I am exploring more modern floorings with a similar look . <p> Thanks for all the photos and ideas ! <p> GF on March 17th , 2009 6:31 pm <p> I love ALL things Pink .

I just bought a 1935 house from the original owner ( the daughter of the people who built it in 1935 ) and it has a beautiful , perfectly intact pink bathroom with black tile trim . The fixtures are white ( thank goodness ) but the bathroom is pink pink pink ! It 's so hard to find old bathrooms people have n't ripped out all the tile and charm from ! It 's my favorite room in the house , and was a huge selling point , even though in the ads for sale they did n't put photos of the bathroom b/c it 's so retro . <p> Pinkwannabe on April 8th , 2009 12:52 am <p> I pledge to spread the gospel of mid-century design , reminding all those who decry the pink bathroom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ promise to honor sea foam green and aqua and sunny yellow and baby blue . I even shall honestly try to embrace the unloved- the avocados , the harvest golds , and the browns- those banes of my youth that I now am grudgingly beginning to appreciate . All of these colors tell stories , and I vow to do my best to pass the stories on- in my own boring 2001 box that I have equipped with its own faux pink bathroom ( replete with poodle , ballerina , and tropical bird chalk plaques ) , and everywhere I see a pink diamond in the rough waiting to be shined up and treasured ! <p> Kat on April 11th , 2009 5:19 pm <p> I 'm happy to say that we 're in the process of purchasing a 1950s bungalow with an intact original pink bathroom .

The first I did myself as a teen -- Pepto walls with pink and grey atomic wallpaper in the alcove ( and sadly very white , very 70s fixtures ) . Years later , a boyfriend and I moved into a mid-century mobile home with fabulous pink fixtures and original faux marble Masonite tub surround . More recently , I lived in a Victorian converted post-war into student apartments . My bathroom not only had 12 ? ceilings , but pink ceramic tiles to a height of 6 ? . <p> Now I 'm helping a friend slowly fix up his post-war tract house .

This site is perfect ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pink bathroom and to fight tirelessly to save any and all pink bathrooms I encounter until my last breath ! They will have to remove the pink tile from my cold dead hands ! This is personal to me ... I grew up in a beautiful San Francisco 1920 ? s house with a great pink and black bathroom . Recently my husband and I purchased our first home and it too has a pink bathroom . No wonder I felt right at home when I saw this house . Prior to this , we were in a rental which had ghastly ' earth ' tones in the bathroom decor . ( If I want ' earth ' tones I 'll roll around in the dirt in the yard thankyouverymuch ) . And I too cringe when I see the so-called ' upgrades ' on HGTV of perfectly great vintage houses . It is criminal . It upsets me so much that I soak in my soothing pink bathroom to regain my composure . <p> Kristina on July 17th , 2009 3:51 pm <p> I have a pink bathroom and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Someone had put pink and blue wallpaper on the walls in the 80 ? s and it looks awful ! ! I 'm trying to go back to a retro theme . The easiest thing for us to do was to re-wallpaper it .

I hope this helps you preserve your bathroom ! ! ! <p> I am in my 3rd home with a vintage pink tile bathroom ! ! In an ever renovating world , my realtor says we 're one of the few couples she knows that actually WANTS a home with the vintage tile . I 've also had yellow , blue , and green . But the pink is my favorite ! <p> Aileen on August 8th , 2009 12:04 am <p> Hello Brothers and Sisters of the Pink Bathroom Revival ! We just bought a house in La Habra that was built in 1955 and much to our surprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potty and tub but also their yellow tile kitchen with Western Holly range vent ! When my husband called his mom to tell her about the house he opened with " I have a pink toilet " she said well rip it out and replace it with a white one , he answered " that wo n't go with my pink tub . " Pink has never been my favorite color ( shame , shame ) but then I gave birth to a little girl and pink suddenly seemed sweet , reassuring . Even if I had not been converted to pink ( sort-of ) I am always for preserving the original . I still miss my metallic olive green 1972 Dodge Dart .... <p> I am moving into a 1950 ? s style ranch house in a couple of weeks and am THRILLED that I will have a beautiful pink bathroom to work with ! People really do not realize the history and beauty a Mamie Pink bathroom has . I 'm hoping to be able to prove to my friends in the area that they are worth saving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> I can only decorate my bathroom , as I live in an apartment . I pledge to get pink bathmats and rugs , pink accessories ... possibly a pink toilet seat . It will go with me when I move . <p> When I first bought my 1974 home with the 1984 rose-pink-NOT-Mamie-pink bathroom remodel ( including rose-pink grout between my white floor tiles ) , I was dead set on doing what I could to downplay the color . I have since realized that I need to instead embrace it ! Let the wallpaper hunting begin ! <p> Benzmom on August 16th , 2009 11:09 am <p> So happy to see all these posts , but I need support and advise for my grey/burgundy 50s bathroom . Any direction toward sites for lovers of these 50s color tiles , please let me know ! <p> thanks so much ! ! <p> 50s Pam on August 16th , 2009 12:00 pm <p> Hi Benzmom -- see all the resources in the right-hand column . There are lots ! <p> James on August 19th , 2009 8:35 pm <p> My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bought a ' 62 colonial in suburban Cleveland . In the main bathroom , the tub , sink and toilet were all salmon pink . The one inch square floor tiles were white , interspersed with pastel squares of pink , yellow , mint green and sky-blue . Really kind of cool . The walls were white . We decided to play up the pink by painting the walls a very pale shade of pink- a sort of " icy pink " if that makes sense . So , we took a pink bathroom and made it pinker . <p> Now , the confession . 10 years ago , we bought a ' 63 colonial ( I use the term " colonial " loosely- this colonial has picture windows ) in suburban Chicago . The " family bath " off the hall was pink- pink toilet , twin sinks and tub , with white and coral pink tiles on the floor and climbing 3/4 up the walls . By this time , we had two sons- we have no daughters . As we have a master bath in this house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bath became our sons ' bathroom . Well , we wanted to stay " mid-century " but could not stick our boys with a pink bathroom . So , we got a new white toilet and twin sinks and had the tub re-glazed in white . To stay " mid-century modern " we re-glazed all of the pink wall tiles in aqua blue . The floor was replaced with large square aqua tiles . Does this disqualify us from the " Save the Pink Bathrooms " league ? We did save that pink one in Cleveland , making it even pinker .... Just askin . <p> John D Taylor on August 20th , 2009 9:14 am <p> OMG . I have admit that Pink Bathrooms are the bomb .

We bought our 1957 home in the Berkeley hills a few months ago . The previus owners had owned the house since 1963 and have n't renovated anything as far as I can tell . We have a realy lovely pink marble formica counter in our main bathroom ( complete with cast-iron sink ) and it is staying .

We always seemed to come along after one or more owners had yanked out and replaced the original fixtures ( along with other similar tragic violations throughout the house ) with cheap ones . To add insult to injury , the work was invariably done by a " handyman " , meaning we were left with no alternative but to take a deep breath &; spend $$$ in order to create something that was not at war with the rest of the house . Curses ! Foiled again ( and again , and again ... ) ! <p> Believe me when I tell you I 'm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fixtures , floor plans , etc . Alas , sometimes there just is n't an option . We now live in a little 1952 split-level whose kitchen and bath -- sigh -- must be removed someday . The work done on them over the years was just brutal . I have a pink and pale gray bathroom . The Am . Stndrd. fixtures are gray , the tiles on the wall and floor are pink . But the original sink was tossed years ago , and the toilet base is cracked and broken . ARGH ! <p> Another reader suggested embracing all the colorful bathrooms of that era , and I could n't agree more . The pastels that were so popular when my mother was a bride are just as appealing today as they were then . There 's something sweet and optimistic about these modest treasures , so lets enjoy them all . In other words " Save The Turquoise ( Buttercup Yellow , Baby Blue , Mint Green ) Bathrooms/Kitchens !

Actually , I have two pink bathrooms . Both were built about 1950 . The color , Muslin from Behr Premium goes quite well with pink . I needed a color that would blend pink , peach and brown tile . My other bathroom has victorian-style wallpaper and tiled floor with pinkish-beige grout . Yes , I 'm definitely keeping the pink . <p> We bought a 1963 Ranch single story-the main bath is Pink !

Thanks for the awesome website . <p> I purchased a 50s Ranch four years ago with pink 4 ? x4 ? and burgundy accent tile on all of the walls . While I admit to at first being repelled by such a girly-girl color , I have learned to embrace my inner-Mamie and love my retro bathroom in all of its fem-fabulous glory . I am about to start the retro-reno process and am looking forward to ... <p> 1 ) Tearing out the beige &; blue , circa-1988 vinyl flooring that screams at the top of its lungs , " ANACHRONISM ! ! ! " ( I am hoping the original flooring is underneath . -- fingers crossed ! -- ) <p> 2 ) Replacing the bathtub ( which is beyond salvageable ) with a tiled shower instead . Of course all of the tiles above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ already chipped/missing ( ? ? ? ) in the rest of bathroom when I purchased the house . <p> 3 ) Re-texturing and repainting the wall above the tile a lovely shade of white to offset the rosiness of the lower 4 feet . ( The wall was , unexplainably , rough-textured to look like stucco and then painted the most vomitous shade of purple ... yes , purple . ) <p> I will have to start a blog ( as so many others have ) on the process . Wish me much luck ! <p> Julie on November 2nd , 2009 5:21 pm <p> I laughed when I found this website ! I just spent the last week painting the walls in my pink and black bathroom that looks almost exactly like the one pictured at the top of this site .

We love our pink bathroom ... 1960 ranch ... pink toilet , tub and sink with pink marble vanity with mirror on 2 walls ... white tile floor ... repainted pink ( my friends could not believe it " pink ? why pink ? " ) and we all love how healthy we look even on bad days ... lots of white eyelet and white fabric shower curtain then all the accents are with a beach theme ... flamingos and colorful flip-flop rugs and seashells ... it is not retro totally but we will never rip out our pink bathroom ... even the ceiling is painted pink !

I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 2009 10:35 am <p> I 'm in the midst of buying a small Philadelphia rowhouse with a pink ( and pale green ) bathroom . The pink sink is in dire need of replacement and after seeing this site , I am edging toward retaining the pastel character of the bathroom . <p> ptm on November 28th , 2009 5:43 pm <p> In 1954 my family moved to a lovely new home in the Philadelphia suburbs . The house was fabulously beautiful . My quilted rose wallpaper looked wonderful next to the Mamie pink and maroon bathroom . All the fixtures in the bathroom were maroon which made the pink glow with extra warmth . Alas , in 1964 the maroon toilet seat broke and my folks were not able to find a replacement . So they installed a low slung vented pink toilet and a lovely pink sink . The shower was tiled and did not present the same problem . The modern pink toilet provided endless hours of amusement since the handle pulled out to vent causing lots of noise but no flush . To flush one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lost guests for extended periods in the bathroom on many occasions . Finally , children were given the task of lurking near the bathroom to explain the wonders of the commode to unsuspecting visitors . How oh how could anyone gut a room with so many amusing stories . The bathroom remained intact while it remained in the family . 40+ years of the amazing and sneaky pink bathroom . How popular was pink in the mid 50 ? s ? Our kitchen cabinets were the same lovely shade of pink . The lineolium was replaced with a beautiful pink pebble style congolium as soon as it came out . The color was more enduring . Since no one in our family has ever remodeled anything that still had a shred of useful life left , The beautiful pink kitchen was handed over to my red haired sister-in-law who shuddered and lived frugally until she , my brother and their kids could flee to a new home . I despaired of ever enjoying a lovely pink bathroom until yesterday ( Thanksgiving 2009 ) . Our family feast had moved from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home . Lo and behold a Mamie Pink bathroom . I told my sister-in-law that she had a treasure . I shall be sending her a link to this site , to fulfill my pledge to encourage preservation of all viable pink bathrooms . <p> ian windham on December 2nd , 2009 3:52 pm <p> I hereby pledge to keep my bathroom pink ! We 're proud to own a lovingly maintained and not-too-altered custom 1957 MCM ranch in Everett , WA . Two-tone green tile main bath and grey/charcoal master .

I will have to replace eventually . <p> Zane Barlow Coleman on December 9th , 2009 8:18 pm <p> We just bought a 1957 Ranch in Western Massachusetts .

Had our 1950 raised ranch 's only bathroom been pink with black accent tiles I doubt I would want to keep it , but the light coral pink with maroon accent tiles scheme we have has grown on me , especially since the sink , tub and toilet are white . <p> Tina on December 17th , 2009 11:44 am <p> Unfortunately , we do n't own a pink bathroom , but we want to turn the powder room of our 1980s colonial into a mid-century pink bathroom . We 're keeping our eyes on the Restore in Alexandria , Va , for a toilet and sink to show up . <p> Sheila on December 19th , 2009 5:40 pm <p> When my husband and I bought our 1950 ranch-style home in Michigan , we had a definite consensus on one room being that " the pink bathroom has got to go " . The bubble gum pink tile with burgundy trim ; the floor that gives some a sense of vertigo if it is stared at too long was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ myself owning , let alone liking . I am a practical person though . That pink bathroom was obviously built to last . The tiles and floor were solid . It is hard to justify ripping this room down first as our house was one fraught with " opportunities " . Many more pressing projects were higher on the agenda . So dropping the bomb on the pink nightmare was postponed . I pondered this bathroom for several months , confounded . The previous owners had given it battleship grey cupboards and trim ; grey wallpaper with a burgundy floral design . It had gold metal glass shower doors that were impossible to keep clean , a door and a ceiling with obvious mould issues . It had two hideous glass light bars on either side of the mirror , also impossible to keep clean . Still I was completely stumped on how to tone down what felt like screaming pink . Inaction was really my only option , figuring one day the solution would come to me , and barring that a wrecking ball was an option . After @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ basement makeover and 2 kids later , my attention turned once again to fixing up what my daughter calls " the Barbie Dream House bathroom " . Still , dang it -- that tile was solid as the day it was installed . Then it occurred to me that I should just learn to love this bathroom , play up how incredibly campy it was and stop thinking about ways to tone it down or minimize it . I turned to the internet . The day I Googled " fun pink bathroom " was the day that I found this website . Suddenly I began to think that maybe I actually owned something kind of cool . You can be the judge on the final product but I honestly am so proud of how it turns out . Bright , clean , unique and above all , PINK . And I 'm finally more than OK with that . Thanks Pam ! Sheila , Defender of Old Pink Bathrooms <p> Thank you for creating this site and bringing attention to our rich , mid-century home design heritage . <p> GP @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When my future wife and I were looking for a house , we looked at houses dating from the 1890s to 1962 . A couple of the mid century homes still had their original pink bathrooms intact . We ultimately decided on a home built in 1954 that has Geneva metal cabinets and a 1950s GE electric stove in the kitchen and all the original bathroom tiles , although the tiles are green , not pink . There is a newer bathroom in the basement that is very white and generic looking . We 've thought about redoing that one with mid century styled tiles and fixtures to better suit our taste and to match the rest of the house . We 'll let you know if we redo it in pink . <p> Kim Campbell on December 27th , 2009 11:52 am <p> I pledge to save !

And the toilet was also a newer toilet . We were able to locate a pink toilet for that bathroom . One of our neighbors has the original vanity with the pink tile and has said that we can have them . We will be careful to take the tile out as to not break any in the process . The mastebathroom also had the pink tile surround in the shower . The sink area we went with the yellow tile ( we got it at a used building savage yard . They had two boxes of the yellow never used ) , with a black border . The floor we went with a black and white tile from home depot that looks period to the house . Then of course the toilet and sink are pink . It turned out bette than we had hoped . I have many pictures to share . <p> Dot on December 27th , 2009 9:39 pm <p> I bought my family home here in Michigan ( why does there seem to be so many of us in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if it were ever mine I 'd rip out the pink and gray bathroom .

I may even still have our pink and white bathroom scale in the basement or out in the garage . And yes , I 'll put wallpaper on the soffit ( above the square recessed lights ) . It needs some work , but it will shine in all it 's pink glory once again .

Their next argument was that " tans and neutrals " worked best with the pink . Bah ! I currently match a pinky-orange and mauve with the pink fixtures and love it that way . ( You should see the blue twin bath next to the pink ... ) Glad to hear of others who love their pink bathrooms . <p> Bashe on December 31st , 2009 1:10 pm <p> I pledge to learn to love our pink sink , pink tub , pink tiles , and pink toilet .

I pledge to try to stop hankering after a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clearly inappropriate in my otherwise charming 1955 house . Thank you for making it possible to love the pink . <p> Though I dislike everything else pink , I loved my aunt 's pink bath , with it 's faux pink tile linoleum around the tub . I absolutely adored the black wall paper with lily pads , white flowers and pink flamingos above the burnt pine wainscoting ( and which I 've searched for in vain for years- does n't ANYONE have a pink flamingo pattern with a BLACK background ? ? ? ) . I loved the pink fixtures and the white lace curtains . I loved the pink shower curtain with pink flamingos and green lily pads . If I can EVER find wallpaper that matches that description , my bath will pay homage to that most glorious Mamie Pink . <p> Michael S on December 31st , 2009 2:50 pm <p> My little ranch-style house was built in 1958 .

It was a bit of a fixer upper , so we have been giving it a much needed face lift while still preserving a lot of the original character and charm . With plans of completely gutting and remodeling the original pink bathroom , I 've convinced my husband that I can make the pink work . Once I am done restoring and preserving our pink bathroom , I truly believe it will be saved as long as the house is still standing . Pink bathrooms live on ! <p> Erica on January 21st , 2010 3:16 pm <p> This is too funny ! I am the reluctant owner of a pink and blue 1956 bathroom . The floor has the tiny blue mosiac tiles , the tub , toilet , and sink are all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of bubblegum pink with a maroon border . Or should I say WERE tiled , because we 're in the process of removing them as I write this . Sorry , pink bathroom lovers , but we had to choose either the blue or the pink , and the blue was just in better shape . Glad to see there are people out there who enjoy pink bathroom , though ! <p> When I bought my 1951 ranch style house in 2006 there were no light fixtures , or sinks , or toilets in it ! The previous owners had lost it to the bank , and stripped it as they left . But not before they had done a whole Victorian makeover . The bathroom had faux beadboard wainscot on the walls , and a new one foot square beige tile floor -- boring . With my ever inquiring mind in gear , I decided to see that was under that masonite beadboard -- and what to my wondering eyes should appear but four walls of original pink plastic tile with black cap tiles ! Oh my God ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with some of the pink tile -- but I saved them all ) Next trip up to Minneapolis , I stopped at my favorite home salvage outlet -- The Reuse Ctr -- and found a pink 50 ? s Universal Rundle toilet , and a pink American Standard wall hung sink . In they went , and I 'm " pretty in pink " . Later though , at the same place , I got " the best of the best " a pink Crane Criterion sink , and a friend gave me a set of period chrome legs for it- I 'm happy <p> Hillary on January 22nd , 2010 12:38 am <p> When we first bought our 1949 ranch , I was n't so fond of the pink tile bathroom . It did n't help that it was wallpapered above with a clashing floral . However , once I stripped off the wallpaper and painted the upper walls a nice , clean white , it actually grew on me .

While it is a small space -- it is has large personality ! At only 5 ? x 5 ? we made this tiny space feel larger by painting the walls and ceiling a rich cocoa brown -- with random pink polka dots of differnet colors . We think it is a fun and fresh retro interpretation . We love our pink polks dot bathroom and vow to preserve it for the next 50 years ... and our blue and grey tile bathrooms will maintain their original splendor too , as long as I am the owner of this fab ' 50 ? s home ! <p> When we bought our first home 20 years ago , the bathroom was the first thing I updated . The previous owners retiled the bathtub enclosure white tile and was a big selling point on buying the house . I immediatley painted it a pale pink added a black mini blind and excesories and a hot pink counter top to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ room and have never changed it .

We recently purchased our 1940 ? s home in St. Louis and the second I took one look at the pink bathroom I knew I would rip it out . I started doing research on ways to take the old tile out the day we closed on the house . While doing my research I came across this site and fell in love with the history and individual stories of the pink bathrooms . I now feel honored to have a pink bathroom .

Now , pink is flattering to any skin colour -- you 'll always look your best in pink . Plus it 's cheerful , so puts you in a good mood for the day -- and last thing at night . <p> Cathy on February 21st , 2010 7:35 pm <p> Should I ever be fortunate enough to have a pink bathroom , I would protect it with my life . The house I grew up in the 60 ? s had two bathrooms ; one pink and one avocado green , so I have fond memories .

I cried when my brother remodeled the house , taking away all that lovely pink . I just remodeled one of our bathrooms in our 1927 home and I put in a retro pink and black bathroom . My husband and contractor thought I was crazy . Wait till they find out what I planned for the kitchen ! <p> Elise Radick on February 24th , 2010 8:30 am <p> I love this site ! Great ideas . We 've lived in a 1869 Victorian in NJ for over 23 yrs . and have not had the time or money to renovate our full bath upstairs . It was last renovated by the previous owner in 1963 and is very pink , wall tiles , tub , toilet , shower . The floor is seen on your front page on the upper right , ( sj tile co. sells them , I think called text tiles ? ) . It is in good shape . We have painted the upper part of the walls above tile a pale sage green . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ room at first , since I grew up with a bathroom llike it , but have since come around and will leave it as is and enjoy it 's 60 ? s style . Any suggestions on good places to find retro or vintage style rugs and towel , accessories and wall decor ? I was thinking of making the pink and green really pop ! Any suggestions for decorating would really be appreciated . Thanks , Elise <p> I will never tear out my lovely pink bathroom , or my vintage St. Charles metal cabinets either ! <p> becca horner on March 5th , 2010 10:13 pm <p> I am so upset ! !

Not everybody likes that look , but I do , and I 'm heartened to know I 'm not alone . My wife was n't initially as crazy about them as I am , but she 's come around , and I 'm happy to report that we intend to leave them alone ... though we would like to do *something* about the worn tile floor in the hall bath . <p> I hate pink ! But I pledge to save the pink and other Jazz Age bathroom fixtures from destruction . My uncle and aunt bought a 50s ranch last year and I convinced them to save their intact pink fixtures . The bathroom had suffered a bad remodel so they updated it with chocolate browns and taupes to work with the existing pink fixtures . It turned out great ! ( I also am harboring a lavender pedestal sink in my basement for a future project ) <p> Diana on March 11th , 2010 3:39 pm <p> Hi , I just closed on a 1966 ranch in western Massachusetts . The bathroom is vintage pink and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shower curtain , towels , etc . I am trying a deep fushia to act as a contrast . I would try grey , but those are the colors of my college and I do n't have a very good feeling about my college ! I would try white but I have a 13 year old son , a dog and cats and they will be grey before long . Any thoughts ? The home has had only one owner since 1966 and now its mine . I am trying to preserve its authenticity but put my own zing into it . ( PS I am not afraid of brights and contrasts and my palette can be very wild but I am open to suggestions . ) Any tips on colors other than fuschia ? I suppose black may work , but that is too maudlin for me . Another question : I need to replace the pink bathroom seat but am finding them only in the $75- $100 range ? ! ? ! ? ! Can this be ? Thanks for your thoughts fellow pinkies . Diana <p> ellen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only wish I had a pink bathroom -- may grandmother did and I loved it but unfortunately my own house built in 1850 has none however I may have saved one today when I ran into a colleague who -- get this- just bought a totally 1940s house-no renovations ! from a little old lady who was the original owner .

I wish that I could trade the turquoise &; black tile for pink &; black though ! ! <p> April on March 15th , 2010 7:11 pm <p> Makes me sick to see beautiful , pink feminine bathrooms destoyed ! ! Our house has an awesome pink bathroom ... pink sink , pink tub , pink toilet , pinks tiles , pink paint , all in excellent condition , no children ever lived in our house ! Major selling point when we bought the house . Glad to have found this site ! <p> I Pledge ! Actually my husband and I do not have a pink bathroom as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home was built in the late 20 ? s . It did not have bathrooms at all . Later in the mid 40 ? s the family who owned the home built a bathroom out of one of the bedrooms . It was not done in pink all white . My husband and I are building an add on bathroom off of the master suite we are going to stick with the retro feel of the home by adding all refinished retro Pink Accents , tub , sinks and toilet . We are so looking forward to this project . We feel it will add value to our home as well as keep the wonderful retro vibe ! SAVE THE PINK BATHROOM ! <p> OK , so my Newly-wedded Husband and I are moving into a house and the full bathroom is ... Pink tile with pink sink and pink tub .... My favorite color is pink and Hubby knows it .... The previous owner dicided to wall paper all over above the wall tile , all over the trim and paint the original red stained door white . The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ butterflies in all sorts of shades , all over it ... The pink sink rests in teh white with gold speckled counter top that the kitchen still has ... unfortunately the kitchen counter was used also as a cutting board and has a huge stain over it ... Going to get an actual cutting board and place it there on the counter to cover sad huge stain ... Hopefully stain will start coming out a bit more with lots of good scrubbing , something the previous owner was lacking in doing ... I am keeping the pink tile/tub/sink and thinking of going with a soft shade of gray on the walls ... changing the toilet seat of course , its white and easy to replace . The half bathroom in the basement ( I do n't know why its there ) has an original sink in it as well and the white toilet has a blue seat on it ... The sink is very original and it has a cute sea shell shaped soap holder on it , The former owner put a strip of wallpaper across the font of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as the rest of the horrible wallpaper that they decided to partially glue to the walls and is somewhat just hanging there ... the only wallpaper to be kept is the one in the dining room ... the bottom half of the wall has wall paper under the chair railing trim ... other wise I have a huge project .... But the pink bathroom stays ... I promise ! ! ! ! <p> Karen on March 19th , 2010 1:10 pm <p> I pledge to save the pink bathroom , at any cost . My husband and I are hoping to find a home that is being sold " as is , need of upgrading " . If there is a pink bathroom there it will definitely be preserved ! ! <p> Karen on March 19th , 2010 1:18 pm <p> I pledge allegiance to the pink bathroom and for which it stands !

I have n't found a successful solution for the walls above the tile yet . Oh and the fixtures are white . And the floor was redone by a previous owner in shiny 12x12 black granite tiles . <p> I long for pink . <p> Linda Blackmore on March 19th , 2010 2:38 pm <p> I live in a mid centruy cottage -- wish it was a modern . I have black and white tile bathroom and I 'd love for it to be a color . It makes me sick to see the " designers " tear out the wonderful old bathrooms . I hate the Pottery Barn makeovers . All the houses look exactly the same with the same colors and everything . UGHHHH ! ! There was a house hunters yesterday that had the most amazing turquoise stove unit with a round door , and of course , they hated it . Luckily they did n't buy that house , so maybe someone with a brain kept it and redid the kitchen to match the stove . <p> kristen on March @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pink bathrooms ! i have always loved them and now i am trying to help clean up , renovate , and save the one in my grandfather 's house ! <p> James Mitchell on March 19th , 2010 3:07 pm <p> Pink and black in my 1953 bathroom and I would not change it for anything .

My husband had a pink bathroom with burgundy trim in his apartment in New York . Pink bathrooms are just the BEST ! <p> P.S.

The bathroom still had the original pink tub and tile but had been wallpapered with a horrible floral print . We have since removed the paper ( nightmare ! ) and painted the walls a wonderful shade of pink ! We refer to it as the " Hollywood Bathroom " because it 's just so fabulous ! <p> Oh pink bathroom .... you who made me doubt my design capabilities .... who made me reconsider how much pink can actually go in one space !

What is a soaker tub compared to an entire set of porcelain bath appliances ( including those cool towel rods , soap dishes , toilet paper holders , etc. ) in Mamie pink ? If we ever buy a house , a perfectly preserved pink bathroom might just be the thing that tips the scale . <p> Keep up the good work ! <p> Roxanne Mason on March 24th , 2010 1:55 pm <p> I vow , until my final breath is taken , to save my pink tile , sink &; tub . I will continue my search to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I will make their lives long and happy beacause of , not only the pleasure they bring into my life but , the beauty they bring into our world .

Just make sure to have it rewired . <p> Joan on April 21st , 2010 4:20 pm <p> We added on to a 1950 Googie style house .

No question on colors -- there are only specific ones they ever made so matching is easy . They do have 2 pinks , one is like bubble gum and one is more coral but those are the only two . Needless to say our sink matched perfectly ( as did the blue vintage sink in the other bath ) . All over our house , we went with the ' landlord special " fixtures available at Home Depot , etc .

I found a pink toilet &; sink ( 3 sinks ) and drove 2-1/2 hours each way to pick them up ! White by design , not by default ! They 're not yet installed . I got sink legs at DEA Bath . My contractor is building me a small vanity next to the sink that I am going to do my own glitter epoxy countertop on with a stainless edge band @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pink tub &; now it 's all boarded &; mudded and ready for me to do a full custom mosaic tile tub ! ! When we ripped the plastic liner out , I found a tiny secret window by the shower that will have glass blcok added . I 'm so thrilled about my soon-to-be pink bathroom ! ! The toilet &; sink are American Standard blush pink from about 1963 . I 'm going to do 2010 pink walls with a gloss black base .... . so far that 's the plan ! <p> Diane G. on May 14th , 2010 11:49 am <p> I pledge to honor and keep The Pink Bathroom ! In fact that 's why I bought my house ! <p> Architect built in 1951 , it has a full pink bathroom downstairs and a full mint green bath upstairs -- both are beautiful . <p> We just had a contractor come in to tidy up some messy bits in the pink room -- he 's done and now we just have to paint ( silver gray walls , bright white trim ) and accessorize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on May 15th , 2010 10:07 am <p> I HEarT my pink and black bathroom ! ! <p> Misty on May 15th , 2010 12:20 pm <p> I am renting but I still love my pink 60s bathroom ! I am painting and decorating right now and I love your site for inspiration ! <p> Derinda Green on May 15th , 2010 5:03 pm <p> Just stumbled upon your website . Quite interesting ! Just wanted to let everyone know that my family and I moved into a house that was built in 1973 . It 's a 5 bedroom , 5 bath ranch . Each bathroom has a different color tub and sink . The master bath is blue , then the others are green , pink , a light brown and gold . The light brown bath is not a tub , but a shower stall . Two of the bathroom sinks are unique . The pink one looks like something used to wash your hair . It 's long and slanted and one end with a water sprayer attached . Then there 's the green one that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ soap dispenser . <p> I love pink bathrooms , especially the ones that are pink and black.I cringe when I see them tearing apart old bathrooms on t.v .... Our house was built in 1937 but was " renovated " around 1989 so they have stolen all the charm the house undoubtedly was built with and replaced it with fake marble black stick down tiles , and popcorn ceilings bleh . Ca n't wait to tear it out and make it old again , and possibly pink <p> melissa cash on May 17th , 2010 11:03 pm <p> We just bought a 50 ? s home and will work with the pink/black tile and are looking for original peices to bring back to the patially remodled bathroom ! <p> I am horrified when I see a decorating show rip out a pink bathroom ! I wish I had the honor to have a true vintage pink bathroom ! And if someday I own a pink bathroom , I 'll never change it ! <p> Amy on May 21st , 2010 3:51 pm <p> I am honored to take the pledge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has not only one but two pink bathrooms .

I cry every time I see vintage bathroom demolished on those " fix it " shows on TV . There should be a somekind of law ! ! ! Laurel in MN <p> Our pink bathroom has cracks in the floor tile . I was just going to take a few tiles up and put in a mosaic . Then I thought I should take up all the cracked tiles and replace them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sub floor was in bad shape . I called our contractor , and he wanted to come and take out the floor and the shower and the tile and redo everything .

Thank you ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! <p> Where do I upload my " before " photos ? <p> Again , thank you for saving our pink pearl . <p> Krista Keim <p> Melissa on June 3rd , 2010 11:17 pm <p> I love pink bathrooms ! My grandmother 's bathroom in her 1913 bungalow was hot pink and black . To me , pink is a perfect color for a bathrooom . When we purchased our 1924 foursquare and found the bath needed to be gutted ( do n't worry-there was nothing worth saving in it-it wal all Home Depoted ) I insisted on pink and black tile . Expensive , yes , but I love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how we saved the original tile ! People thought we were nuts , but the tile company said that pink was the leading color for baths , next to jade green ( our 2nd choice ) . <p> Summer Bee on June 4th , 2010 5:51 pm <p> I pledge to do everything in my power to try to save me save my pink &; blue -- and the peach &black; and the aqua and burgundy bathrooms !

I have to sell my house in a year , so I must make this design appeal to more than avid 50 ? s fans , but I am sure there is a way to do it without destroying them ! I am planning to paint the fantastic but a little scuffed laminate vanity and the walls to hopefully make the bathrooms look appealing to most . My pink tiled bath with darker blue fixtures is the most difficult to figure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vanity to make the bathroom look " hip retro " rather than " not upgraded " ( words of the realtor ) ?

It 'll look real nice . Me : ( dying a little inside ) I think you 'll find that restoration is more eco-friendly and there is a growing movement to preserve the magic of the pink bathroom . We have a 1955 Atomic Ranch and I think granite would be inappropriate . There 's this website ... <p> And that is my pledge !

I have so many ideas thanks to this website that I am giddy with excitement ! <p> michelle buehrer on July 22nd , 2010 10:26 pm <p> We recently purchased a home with a pink bathroom .

BUT , can I have some ideas for decorating ? I currently have a splash of black . I do like black and pink so that works , but it has 1950 ? s brown vanity . Could I paint them black to make it retro or would that look stupid ? HELP ! Oh , and I love the site . Now I know why it 's pink . <p> I wish that I had a pink bathroom to save ! I love all of those pastel bathroom fixtures . I have an older home ( 1947 ) but unfortunately the bathroom was redone in the 70s . <p> Jaime on July 27th , 2010 9:57 am <p> I just painted my halfbath pink . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it white .

I am totally sick of this granite trend . I LOVE pink bathrooms ! The first bathroom I remember wan pink ! Mid century decor is lovely classic and functional ! It should be saved and replicated ! Why this fascination with Victorian homes ? Real ones are nice but are generally dark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surfaces and palladium windows are tired dwellings that are remnants of the bling and conspicuous consumption of the last century .

There is no way that I will ever distroy this pink bath ! the other bathroom was redone -- but I intend to find pictures from the former owner and restore it to it 's former glory ! <p> Janet LaFlesch on August 17th , 2010 12:30 pm <p> I live in the home my father and mother built in 1951 . The front bathroom is green lav , toilet and shower . Back bathroom is light pink ( salmon ) and blue around the blue lav with same blue toilet and bath .

My pink bathroom is the shining star of my apartment . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the whole 1951 house .

How do i keep it clean , and restore the glaze ? <p> 50s Pam on August 27th , 2010 5:29 pm <p> Hi Barbara , my sites are not DIY or fixit sites .

The pink tub and tile ( which I had at first planned to scrap ) is in such good condition and I 've really grown to love it . Unfortunately the sink , counter and toilet have been replaced with hideous cheap " upgrades " . And an truly awful fake beige " tile " floor . So I 'll have to do some creative restoration .

I may need some help with ideas . I 'm a bit keen on possibly taking some of the fixtures back a decade or so . It 's small and it 's pink and grey tile floor , pink tub , sink and toilet and those will either remain or I will replace with the same color and same period . The rest : wall color types of cabinets and fixtures are up for grabs.It 's a small space ... any ideas ? <p> Lisa on September 19th , 2010 6:43 am <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bathroom . The former owner had covered much of the pink tile with a fiberglass shower surround . I was so excited to pull it away to find the pink tile in perfect condition ! I just picked out some amazing hex tile to put on the floor . <p> This bathroom is going to be hip ! <p> 50s Pam on September 19th , 2010 8:07 am <p> Hi Susan , head over to RetroRenovation.com , my main site .

Only because I honestly do n't have the money to truely renovate . So I pledge to make the most with what I have and hope that I come up with a decent batheroom .

My first thougts were to rip it out and start fresh . However , I absolutely adore it now and would n't change it for the world . I have decorated it with lots of antique white and made it very shabby . I have gotten so many compliments from people who originally saw the house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1st thing we HAD to was REDO the bathroom . Now they have come to love it too .

Nothing is more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I rent a townhouse and my little haven of pink heaven only exists in my memory and black &; white photos of my childhood home . Thank you all for paying homage to the ultimate icon of good old-fashioned sensibility with just a touch of silliness ! <p> Suzanne Cleveland on October 17th , 2010 11:50 am <p> I have lived in my house since 1977 ( builit in 1931 ) with a pink tile bathroom wall w/ grey tile trim , and a tile floor of 2 shades of pink tile and grey tile .. When I bought the house , I was told to change it BUT I did n't and I am so glad to find this link ! ! ! I decided to be PROUD of pink and not try to ' subdue ' it , but to have it scream out loud ! ! ! And it does ! ! I have lots of framed photos and/or small paintings in the bathroom , all with pink in them . My most recent is a photo of my newly born ' pink ' grandson . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> Hey everyone ! We are renting a house built in 1961 with original EVERYTHING . It 's so cute ! The kitchen is my favorite part though , it is solid sea foam . The walls , the appliances , even the matching GE metal cupboards are sea foam ! Unfortunately this house has been a rental unit for at least a decade and I 'm pretty sure almost all of the past tenants have been college kids with questionable housekeeping habits . I have already scrubbed the vomit splatter off of the walls and doors leading to the bathroom and I 've almost completely restored the toilet but my favorite part , the kitchen , continually foils me . There is massive buildup on the cupboards and appliances but the finish is too delicate for today 's harsh cleaners . I have tried several different things ( including just dish soap and water ) and had the green start rubbing off . The spots where I have tried to clean have also lost most of their shine . Please help ! Nobody in my family ever had this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . My neurosis demands a clean kitchen , but my love of retro says do n't you dare ruin that finish ! Please , save me ( and my kitchen ) from myself ! <p> Taralyn on October 18th , 2010 9:33 am <p> When we first bought our 1962 ranch , I hated the pink bathroom ! But thanks to this website , I have grown to love it ! There is some water damage behind the tiles , but I 'm determined to find an exact match to keep the retro vibe of our awesome home ! I 'm also determined to find Boomerang Formica in the Bianco color ! ( without paying an arn and leg for it ! ) So , I wholeheartedly pledge to save my pink bathroom ! ( And my brown/mint green one , too ! ) <p> Linda Whaley-Crowley on October 18th , 2010 4:48 pm <p> I do not have a pink bathroom , but this something I would do if I was able to remodel . Love it .

I have never loved my pink ( upstairs ) bathroom but thanks to your website , I am seeing it in a whole new light . We 've changed a few minor things ( removed 80 ? s-era wallpaper , updated fraying-cord light fixtures , de-flowered the built-in planter , painted the vanity ) but the peachy-pink essence of it remains . If I had ever had the funds for it , it would 've been gutted in a heartbeat . But after looking at hundreds of photos of pink bathrooms I can honestly say , mine 's not too bad ! I think I 'll keep it . <p> 50s Pam on October 19th , 2010 10:48 pm <p> sweeter word never spoken , julie ! <p> Meghan on October 20th , 2010 2:35 am <p> I pledge to have a pink bathroom in my home , when I move out of Mom and Pop 's , and buy my own place ! &lt;3 <p> LeeAnn on October 24th , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1922 but complete with an authentic 50 ? s pink and black bathroom .

I 'm just so happy to have found your website @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That ' Bathtastic ' show on DYI that always disses then annihilates pink bathrooms , only to put in something trendy in drab colors , apparently is n't on the cutting edge . Anyone who watches ' Parenthood ' on NBC will notice that one couple 's bathroom has pink tile ( and a green pedestal sink -- fabulous ) . And an honorable mention should go to ' Dexter ' for his and the dearly-departed Rita 's aqua , yellow and black tile bathroom . In about another year or two the world will catch on and then pink will prevail ! <p> Sixcatsncountin on October 25th , 2010 8:33 pm <p> I am holding my head up proud once again ..... We will pledge to keep our 1955 pink ( and hospital green ) bathroom intact and not pretend we do n't have indoor plumbing when guests come . You have given us back our sense of dignity and purpose .

One is retro pink ; the other original to this 1910 house . I need replacement tile for the pink bath . It 's sort of salmon/pink and embossed on the back with : AMERICAN S-3619 MADE IN AMERICA Can anyone help me identify this tile maker ? Does anyone have any of this tile ? Thanks a million . <p> Susan on November 4th , 2010 2:47 pm <p> Just bought a 1948 house with a pink bathroom and have decided to embrace the pink !

Thanks ! <p> 55Fairlane on November 10th , 2010 3:19 am <p> We 're finally in escrow for our first home after 7months of searching . When we first started looking , we knew that we wanted a 50 ? s home with all it 's original beauty in tack . Not only is our soon to be home all original , but it was owned by it 's 1 &; only original owner since it 's built in 1955 ! And YES , with a beautiful PINK BATHROOM ! Along with a YELLOW one too ! ! I love this site &; the retro renovation one as well ; I must say that it has given me SO MANY ideas for our home , and I 'm on pins &; needles to get started . Thank you for all the ideas &; information that I will definitely be using . <p> Kevi on November @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declare my commitment to my new-to-me pink bathroom . I will redo the loose tiles , get better flooring , and figure out how to make the ugliness under the pink-tiled vanity go away ... so help me Maime . <p> I have a pink bathroom in my 1964 suburban house . After a bit of berry colored paint , and black on the cabinetry , it became one of the best rooms in the house . Changing the light fixture helped enormously too . I will definitely save the pink . <p> I gladly commit to saving pink bathrooms . My poor 1920 ? s house was stripped to the studs by someone with very odd taste . The bathroom was 4 ? x 8 ? with the sink in the LR . At a neighbors garage sale , I found a Crane pink toilet and sink in pristine condition . Thus started my pink bathroom renovation . The toilet got refitted , I mixed paint to match it for the walls , but could n't find any brackets for the sink . It 's in the garage . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm happy with my pink bathroom , looking forward tothe next stage of PINK . Thanks for a great idea ! <p> I pledge to save the pink bathrooms ! We just bought our first home , and were so happy to find the oldest home in town ( 1954 ) . Sadly , the house was redone in ' 08 and mostly everything was torn out . They left only the original tub , and Youngstown sink ( but THANK GOD they did ! ) . So , we rescued ( aka bought ) a 50s pink toilet and sink that someone was ripping out and brought them to our house . So , since we were too late to save this house , we saved their pink bathroom instead ! We are bringing the house back to the former glory that it once was , and it loves us for it ! <p> Kay on November 22nd , 2010 5:05 pm <p> Deep breath .

She has survived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I pledge to learn to clean her surfaces better and give her a new spiffy , shiny life .

This website helped me see the light . Now , with some pizzazz , some polished chrome , some frilly black accents , even a few rhinestones , I have fallen in love with Mamie Pink ! I love my pink bathroom and vow to stay true to Mamie 's vision . <p> Alice on December 1st , 2010 1:28 pm <p> I grew up with a pink and maroon bathroom .

The tile looks just like the background on this page , black border too . Unfortunately , the tub enclosure has been retiled in what can only be described as a pixelated beach scene . It 's like showering in Super Mario World . We 'll be looking for replacement tile to match the original ! <p> Becci on December 4th , 2010 12:36 am <p> I grew up in a house in New Jersey with a pink bathroom ( exactly the same as the background of the site , black edging and all ) and I had NO IDEA that people were trying to save them or that I 'd had something unusual . It was a great bathroom but we moved out of the house when I was a teenager in ' 96 and I have no idea what the new owners have done to it . Hopefully they 've had the sense to keep it intact . The house was built in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nicole Z. on December 5th , 2010 2:12 pm <p> My boyfriend and I recently bought a house , the couple who built it had the best of everything . We have whole house intercom and radio , heated closets , the biggest laundry room and bathroom every seen , two all brick fireplaces , and our own bar ! The biggest bathroom ever is PINK , and I mean everything ... pink tiled walls , floor , standing shower , bathtub , pink toilet , pink sink .... I decided to paint the vanity black ... My only problem is shower curtain ... what do to with a shower curtain to match pink black and white . I do nt want my honey to lose all sense of mascullinity in the bathroom but its very hard to find something not pink powder puff or poodle for the shower curtain to match ! Any tipe are highly welcome ! But I do pledge to keep my bathroom ... my honey does construction and wants the bathroom gone but I will have to stage a sit-in ! <p> Ann-Marie Meyers on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hunting in Fort Worth Texas , in an historic neighborhood of 1940 ? s and 1950 ? s homes , many with the pink bathrooms either intact or restorable . I promise if I buy one of these beautiful homes , I will love the pink !

I can not afford the amount of work it would take , and it is priceless . OMG LOOK at this pink bathroom ! ! ! ! ! ! <p> I had a pink and black ( mostly black ) bathroom which was described by my mother as " Italian " when we moved to Long Island from Massachusetts in 1961 . In retrospect it was unique and I hope it is still in the beach house in Bayville , NY where we lived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the time , but I have long been a fan of pink and plan to do my bathroom renovation right here in Oakland in mostly pink . Many old homes here built in the 20s have colorful tile bathrooms -- alas , not the foreclosure we bought -- it was renovated to dull whites/grays somewhere along the way . Let 's hear it for pink ! ! ! <p> Lynne E on December 29th , 2010 10:55 pm <p> I celebrate my vintage pink and black bathroom with tile matching the background of this page and wonderful black and pink basketweave pattern tile floor . My house was built in 1927 and and the tiles are solid as a rock . Since we moved into the house in 1989 , I have taken down a busy black print wallpaper and painted the top walls and ceiling a pale pink , so I actually made the bathroom PINKER ! <p> Claudie Frid on December 29th , 2010 10:57 pm <p> My whole cottage is PINK . A little blue pastel thrown in and mint green , but PINK is it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I LOVE PINK . There is no room for beige in this world , or brown for that matter . <p> Merritt on December 30th , 2010 12:43 am <p> For the past 42 years , I have not been fortunate enough to live in a house or apartment with a pink tiled bathroom ; however , the house I lived in up until age 6 had a bathroom very reminiscent of the " Mamie Pink " bathrooms shown on this site . I think I must have realized even then that pink was the perfect color for a bathroom and always wanted a pink bathroom . <p> I was renting an apartment in the late 1990s and when its bathroom needed to be repainted due some water damage , my landlord agreed to pay for the paint and my darling boyfriend ( now husband ) painted it a bubble-gum pink ! <p> Later , I bought a small condo and the same boyfriend painted one bathroom a burnt-sugar pink and the other bathroom an orange sherbet color ( okay , not pink but close and it really suited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ larger condo and both bathrooms are painted pink -- albeit more subtle shades -- clamshell and malibu pink ( a sort of mauve ) . <p> I 'll never forget when my asinine cousin from out of town visited me while I was living in the apartment with the bubble-gum pink bathroom : She did not realize it was I who chose the color and made some rude comment about it . ( Of course her bathrooms are gray and some god-awful Ralph Lauren 1980s green . Go figure ! ) <p> Once when traveling , I had the tremendous good fortune of staying in a bed-and-breakfast that had a lavender-tiled , lavender-fixture bathroom preserved from the 1920s . It 's a memory I shall treasure forever . <p> Michelle on December 30th , 2010 2:45 pm <p> I feel sick every time I see old tile destroyed on home renovation shows . I do n't have a pink bathroom but it would definitely be a selling point for me if I was in the market to buy . <p> Pam Reardon on December 30th , 2010 5:10 pm <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1956 that had recently been redecorated and I grew up with the pink ceramic tub , sink , toilet in a room with BLACK plastic tiles on the walls and black with pink swirls tile on the floor . Fortunately it was the sunniest room in the mornings . It stayed a pink and black retreat until the wall tiles cement gave up the ghost . It is a more pastel muted pink bathroom with the original fixtures , but no more black walls and floor . The downstairs half-bathroom is still the same vintage but it is all in medium green -- another colour from that mid-Fifties renovation . And now it 's my house and the pink shall remain ( unless the floor collapses and the upstairs bathroom winds up in the downstairs hall closet ! ) Pick Pink . <p> Melissa on December 30th , 2010 10:15 pm <p> This site is so darn cute ! I have a pastel pink and blue bathroom in the home I rent . I love it 's charm and nostalgia-I can not imagine living without it . <p> Jennifer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fully tiled classic pink bathroom in our 50s ranch , and the true bonus is the mint green sink , toilet and tub ! We spent all our money redoing the kitchen so it 's a good thing we love our bathroom ! It 's the only reason we could afford our house -- I think it was a dealbreaker for most other buyers . Our relatives shudder when they walk in and ask us when we 're going to redo the bathroom but we just laugh . Now you 've inspired me to put some more effort and flair into playing it up and having fun with it . Love this site ! <p> I have a 2 -- room pink with turquoise trim bathroom in my 1963 ranch style house . It has a shower room and a toilet room . There 's a pink tub , a pink toilet and 2 pink sinks . It 's in pretty good shape for being 40+ years old . It 's funky and I like it .

Right now , I am working little by little to create my own in my 1960 home . ( the original was gone when we moved in ) I have pink sink , Universal Rundle toilet , ( like the pic of the one on your site ) and tile floor done , but am working on a back-splash , and counter top , finish paint and possibly wallpaper . Do n't know about that though , we have no fans in our bathrooms , ( I know about wallpaper and moisture ) and until I figure out one to put through a block wall , it may be a wish to amend ! Ca n't put it in the ceiling ... we have a radiant heat unit with wiring in the ceiling and might damage it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some progress made . Or before and afters ... maybe you could help with some ideas , I am using materials from donation restores , so I am really saving a lot and doing a lot of the work on my own , ... so it is a " One of a Kind ! " My own piece of art . My guest bathroom is an American Standard peachy color , still working on that one too , with some salvage materials and doing a little at a time ! ! Oh , BTW , thanks for helping me with the color of my GE stove again ! Jacquie <p> Laurel on January 1st , 2011 2:20 pm <p> Thank you for your site -- found it via the NYTimes article .... not that I do not love pink , but I think you are really taking a stand here on ALL mid-century pastel bathrooms and tile work -- starting in the late 20s and continuing through the 60s before 70s " neutrals " took hold . ( It will take quite a while to get a " keep the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> Alas , my 20s home has very plain white subway tiles in a mostly period bathroom . But I grew up in a 50s house , and have many wonderful memories of my Nana 's tiny 1954 bungalow with just your pink bathroom tiled in black ! ( Nana decorated it with a BLACK shower curtain with pink poodles and many other poodle accessories ! wish I had them still .... ) My mom had a yellow bathroom with black trim ; my best friend 's home had gray tile trimmed in maroon ( very attractive combo ) . My first apartment had yellow and peach tile ; the second had a wild setup with peach walls trimmed in green and GREEN fixtures ! ( I was insanely jealous of our neighbors who had the identical bath but with green walls and PEACH fixtures . ) <p> One thing you might wish to note for readers : most average homeowners were lucky to get " fashionable " pastel tile WALLS and perhaps floor in their baths . Most of what I describe above were wall tiles -- the bathtub @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are always cheaper , due to the coloring process adding another step ( or two for black or dark colors ) to the ceramic process . <p> If you are LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY enough to have colored FIXTURES , treasure them -- because they were quite expensive in their day . A pink bath with pink fixtures was a real step up from a pink bath with white fixtures ! Later on , in the late 50s and 60s , colored appliances became more common , but still cost more than plain white . <p> It is easier to find colored toilets than sinks , and sinks than tubs . Most tubs must be broken up to be removed , so it hard to find a used tub that is even intact -- plus , the scrubbing tubs endure ruins the porcelainized coating . ( Tubs are not ceramic like toilets and most sinks -- old tubs are mostly a baked porcelain finish over cast iron , or sometimes in more modern tubs , over steel . ) Tubs also suffer more " color fading " than toilets or sinks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , brown or red are the most costly to produce and rarest to find . I 've seen amazing period bathrooms ( circa 40s ) with dark peach walls , black trim and ALL BLACK fixtures -- gorgeous ! though I 'm not sure a bath in a black tub would make me feel all that clean , LOL . <p> I love original tilework in baths ( and some very lucky kitchens ! ) and I 'd NEVER rip it out , but always try to work with it and preserve it -- it 's far more clever to work with what you HAVE than to just destroy things and put in " modern " styles that will soon go OUT OF STYLE .... trust me in 10 years ( or less ) you will hear the ripping sound of granite , stainless and " all white " being ripped out of countless homes and " the next trendy thing " being put in . <p> Instead let 's treasure and preserve our wonderful legacy of beautiful , high quality pastel tilework ! I have passed a link to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buddies ! THANK YOU . <p> 50s Pam on January 1st , 2011 2:58 pm <p> Hi , Laurel , YES indeed , it 's a stand in defense of all vintage colors / aesthetic . Pink=emblematic . I explained this to the NYT reporter , but obviously , they can not use everything in an article . Thank you so much for your comment -- and welcome to our retro wonderland . <p> So nice to have company in this cause ! I sent the link the home page to a home magazine last spring that showed the remodel ( destruction ! ) of a pink bathroom . I do n't think they printed my letter , but at least the editors know not everyone thought the remodel was an improvement . <p> 50s Pam on January 2nd , 2011 3:28 pm <p> good for you , cynthia ! ! ! <p> KM on January 2nd , 2011 7:47 pm <p> One of the big selling points when I bought my house was the amazing yellow and black tile kitchen ; a full wainscot almost 4 feet high with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ripping it all out , How could I not save that 30 ? s tile , I ask you ? Cheers to all who are treasuring this great stuff ! <p> Amelia on January 4th , 2011 12:43 am <p> I just moved into a house with a pink tile on the walls in the bathroom . I liked it right away because it made me think of my grandmother . I think the color is soothing . <p> Benja Parke on January 4th , 2011 3:12 pm <p> I recently purchased a late 50 ? s mid-century ranch with the most fabulous pink bathroom . The previous owners have tried to stifle it 's retro-wonder , but i plan to do all i can to get it back to it 's atomic glory . I 'm looking forward to the great inspiration and guidance I 'm sure I 'll find here . <p> -Benja Nashville , TN <p> Francine Craven on January 5th , 2011 12:30 pm <p> I am a fan of the British series " As Time Goes By " and in that series ' interior , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saturated ( hot ) pink . The wall also features a large framed print , whose scale and colors complement the wall color . The effect is lovely , cheerful and warm . Some years ago , my father was hospitalized after a fall , and the walls of his room were covered with a rose-colored linen-textured paper . One wall was done in rose and an adjacent wall was done in a sand or beige-like tone . The rose effect was wonderful , and the blend of rose and sand made things even more interesting . These two " experiences " made me wonder why pink has n't been more popular as an interior color . Is it considered too " girly " ? Maybe that 's finally going to change . <p> MangoMel on January 5th , 2011 12:57 pm <p> My house has two wonderful 1950 ? s bathrooms , one pink and white and one seafoam green and white .

He says it is comforting . <p> Kathy Byland Gardner on January 6th , 2011 8:16 am <p> Pam , From my vantage point in Michigan , I sometimes laugh at the trend stories The New York Times comes up with years after the rest of us have already caught on .

I not only pledge to love , honor and save pink bathrooms , I pledge to bring another one into the world ! BTW , I 'm looking for a good paint color to go with pink tile with black trim ( just like this site design ) .

Most people including my husband thought I should change it . The realtors , the appraisors and local interior designers all urged me to update the pink bathroom with its cast iron tub , toilet , sink and tile . I stubbornedly refused ; knowing that the pink had more character than their own boring , beige bathrooms . I hope the new owners will retain it . <p> The previous owner and the builder of the 1951 modern style home applied many of Frank Lloyd Wright 's design principles and added his own innovations . He placed heated copper coils under the pink bath tub to augment the heat retention of the cast iron tub . He also added a clothes chute inside the vanity . I did refresh the bathroom by adding wallpaper that had a bit of turquoise in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 3/4 pages to pink bathrooms . Then I learned that the Dallas paper recently featured the same article . Hope the HGTV people read the articles . <p> My grandparents had an all pink bath in their early 1940 ? s home . We especially loved the Kohler pink corner tub . Hope it is still in the home . <p> My husband and I just became the proud of residents of a 1950s duplex with a pink tiled bathroom with white fixtures . Some of the tiles are in sad , sad shape but I pledge to bring our pink bathroom back to life . <p> I lived with one pink bathroom for 30 years and was always asked when was I going to change it . I moved to another home in August 2010 and it has a pink bathroom . I ca n't wait to return it to it 's original splendor .

I have a skunk on the wall which holds matches and has a strikeplate . He is my little stinker . I have movie stars of the 1940 and 1950 ? s in frames on the walls .

Thank goodness the landlord 's wife loved the tile and refused to gut the rooms for a more " modern " look . The kitchen looks great since the floor is black-and-white linoleum and the cabinets are white ; not too punk , not too kitschy . <p> Suzanne on February 5th , 2011 9:29 am <p> I swore when I bought my house 14 years ago that the first thing I was going to do was gut my pink bathroom .

All houses in my neighborhood were built in the ' 40s and most have or had this kind of bath . And most are pink . When I " remodeled " mine in 2002 I was bent on preservation . The stool and sink , which were always white , were replaced with period-appropriate pedestal sink and matching stool , both compatible with the original mint condition wave-bottom tub . Original tile walls and floor remain . When I bought the house , someone applied taupe paint to the aqua ovals in the narrow decorative row of tile one row down from the top . How tasteless ! I discovered that right away , and spent a rainy April night with the ZipStrip to uncover the pretty original color . It 's a splendid bathroom -- just right for one person .

I woudl actually call it a water closet . It 's tiny ... and located under the main staircase . But it sure beats running all the way upstairs . The sink and toilet are white , but the tile on hte walsl is unmistakebly pink/salmon color with goldish colored dark brown accents . The closet ca n't be more than 4 ? square , but it 's funciton and serves it 's purpose . It also has some great period floor tile as well . Only problem , no ventilaton whatsoever . So I 'll be adding a constant exhaust fan that 's also exhausting the garage located below . <p> Ashlie on July 23rd , 2011 9:21 am <p> Unfortunately my house has a dull hospital green colour scheme ...

I loved that kitchen ! <p> Why does everybody just automatically move into a house and rip everything out ? Why do they buy that house to just go in and rip it all out ? And why does everybody have to have travertine tile in their bathrooms and granite and stainless steel in their kitchens ? It all looks the same ! BORING . <p> Have some respect for the retro ! It does n't mean you ca n't refresh it 's look with some new paint @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !

Colonial to one of Philadelphia 's ubiquitous 3 b/room brick rowhouses built in the early 50 ? s , and to my delight and amusement it had an almost 100% original pink bathroom ( The white tub is an obvious replacement ) . <p> Going with my whole new attitude of " less is more " after the break-up of my 15 year marriage , I decided to embrace this little ' brick box ' for what it was , and make it part of my new adventure into a new life . These homes were built with simplicity , but some sense of style ( by 1950 standards ) like my stamped plaster walls and the pink &; black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- and I 'm lucky that the 1st two owners preserved this little gem so carefully . <p> The only change I made was to strip off the foil silver &; ' old lady blue flowers ' wallpaper , and after pondering it for weeks decided to paint the plaster walls a " wheat toast brown " -- which really changed the entire ' feel of the room . ( Guys -- if you 're out there and wondering how to man-up a pink bathroom , try going with a grey or brown or taupe color to tone down the girliness of the Mamie Pink ) ! It 's stunning -- and after adding a few black 50 ? s accents ( Pam -- I sent pics of the two little famenco dancers on your other blog ) -- the feel of this post-war bathroom is complete ! <p> Long live the Pink Privy ! <p> Laurie on September 3rd , 2011 8:03 pm <p> Our pink bathroom is petite and pretty .

Thanks Pam , for putting this site together . <p> I am a real estate broker in Seattle and work in an area that is primarily mid century homes . <p> I love it when I see the original pink , blue , green or grey bathrooms with matching tub , toilet and sink . I am constantly telling my clients that the best bathroom renovation on this type of bathroom is no renovation . Houses that still have the original bathrooms ( plus other architectural and design elements relevant to the era ) in most cases are worth more then the house that had some misguided " updates " Granite and vessel sinks are not always the answer . <p> It all started with my Dad 's lemon yellow bathroom , complete with yellow toilet and pedestal basin , and grew into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an interior designer I pledge to save as many pink , blue , yellow , green and turquoise bathrooms as humanly possible throughout Sydney Australia ! <p> Angela x <p> Susan Pogue on November 15th , 2011 4:43 pm <p> I 'll give up my pink bathroom when they pry it from my cold dead hands ! It 's decorated with only framed cute kitten art ! <p> Sheila Beers on November 16th , 2011 11:07 am <p> I too like pink bathrooms . My church has the ladies restroom done in pink , and my cousins always have had a pink bathroom for female visitors in their funeral home . Although people visit the funeral home for somber occasions , everyone loves the decor . I also should think girls and young women would love pink bathrooms , especially since many women are living alone during their single years and would decorate their homes to suit their own feminine style . I know a lady in my town who is ripping out all the " hunting lodge " decor since her husband died , and she and her daughter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Also , with daughters often having their own bath-bedroom suites , one would think girls would want pink bathrooms . I agree too many vintage things are being ripped out of homes , and in a few years people will be looking for these vintage fixtures and other forms of pink decor . <p> Sheila Beers on November 16th , 2011 11:20 am <p> This is addressed to the posters who are struggling with a pink and green bathroom . I would suggest that they go to the fabric store and look for floral prints such as pink roses with green leaves on a white background . Such a fabric would be wonderful for a shower curtain or valence , provided there is a vinyl lining , window curtain and valence set , or a draw-string cover for the toilet lid . They also might make trim from such fabric and sew it onto solid-color towels or a lampshade or use it on a matte for framed wall art . A lady 's or girl 's bath robe that matches the shower curtain also would be fun , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the decor . Pink and green are complementary colors , and they can look great together . <p> Christina on November 26th , 2011 10:52 pm <p> We moved from a townhouse to a single family home in NoVA a short while ago and it came with a pink master bathroom . My husband and I giggled , and then cringed when we first saw it ... PINK ? ! ? ! For Real ! ? ! ? ! -- at least the toilet and sink are white ... *whew* ! ! ! <p> Our initial thought was to rip it out and update it ( we had just remodled our townhouse master bath , and going from a big as far as townhouses go in this area spa looking slate bathroom to 1950 ? s pink was shocking ) . I bought a black shower curtain and decided to just deal with it for the time being until we knew what we were going to do with it . <p> We have recently decided to tackle the bathroom project , and I kept thinking about this site . Not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parents bought the house when it was built ) told us that her dad always used the pink bathroom -- it was his bathroom ( manly , huh ? ! ? ! ) ! I told her that we would take good care of her house , and to me , it meant updating ( ripping out and replacing ) the bathroom -- but my friend , and next door neighbor , told me , why not just add a fresh coat of paint and add a few white towels and black accents .... For future resale purposes , a newer bathroom would definitely appeal to more people ... but there are people out there that are n't scared by pink ... so , I thought , what the heck ! <p> I have added the black accent rug , and am working on painting 4 , 2 ? horizontal stripes using two different shades of grey ( it 's a very small bathroom , so I am hoping it will help the room seem bigger ) to match the shower curtain . I spray painted our shelving unit black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) are loving the pink bathroom a lot more now that the painting is almost done ! ! ! <p> I am glad that I found this site and listened to my friend -- it was definitely a cheaper way to " redo " the bathroom while keeping the promise we made to the previous homeowner . <p> When we sell our house , I am going to add a flyer in the bathroom that lists this website and mention that our bathroom has been added as a " Save the Pink Bathrooms ! " bathroom ! I hope it will encourage future owners to do this same ! <p> My pink bathroom is safe from harm . And my blue one is too ! Yep , we 've got a His and a Hers . <p> WAC in SavGa on December 5th , 2011 5:10 pm <p> My wife and I have purchased a home with a pink guest bath , a blue master 3/4 bath , and an intact Youngstown by Mullins Kitchen .

After a number of years , we determined that we needed to do some remodeling to fix some water damage around the tub/shower area . We procrastinated a long time because we wanted to save the tile . We located a contractor ( the fabulous Satoree Design ) that we trusted ( they had done some work for us in our kitchen ) who , in turn , brought in a tile expert who said that he could save half of the tile . Thanks to this blog , we were able to locate B &W; Tile in California who manufactures tiles in retro colors . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tile was really two different , but similar shades of pink . we were able to replicate that color variation by ordering two separate dye lots of the replacement tile . All in all , we ( a ) fixed the damaged wall ; ( b ) replaced the floor , toilet , sink and faucet ; ( c ) removed the tub and created a walk-in shower with sliding glass doors . We could not be more pleased with the results . While the walk-in shower is not to period , with the retro colored pink and black tile , it certainly has that feel . <p> Scott Charles on January 1st , 2012 2:35 pm <p> I pledge to love honour and respect our new pink bathroom !

It was a ranch style house built in 1955 . And while the wall tiles and floor tiles were pink , the tub , toilet and lavatory sink were blue . Unfortunately my parents sold the house when I was only 2 years old so I have no recollection of that bathroom , but my mom took some old home movie footage of me taking a bath when I was a year old or so and the blue tub and pink tiles on the wall really looked good . <p> Julie on February 8th , 2012 7:04 am <p> I pledge to always love , honor and care for my pink bathroom , til death do us part .

Our main goal is to provide shelter to homeless young adults but , what we are most excited about , is our home restore program . Restoring homes , especially Retro-1950s to 1960s . It is a time and era that I love the most . I have to say though , for the past 25 years , I have been in total disgust with all realtors insisting on home buyers to renovate to modernize . What is wrong with all those beautiful colors that we all loved so much ? And modern craftsmanship does not stand up to the wear-n-tear of old . For a country so hellbent on recycling , why are all the Retro Homes disappearing or at least the beauty of interiors ending up in the landfills ? It just makes me sad . My next home ( very soon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pink bathroom ) and I think the children will love it . So , I will need all the help I can get on where to find everything needed .

Peace Joan <p> Just bought a 1958 house in FL with a yellow and pink tile bathroom with a pink tub and towel racks . I am in love with it . Period restoration is a passion of mine , and have restored a few houses in my day . I thought my husband shared my passion as he has helped me in the past ...... but he hates the pink . A gentle loving man ; we never argue . But he hates the pink ! He wants to gut the whole thing and make it beige . Yuk ! <p> If I get my way , and I usually do , I will SAVE the PINK . We have decided the bathroom will be the first project . I will post a pic if I win this battle . Wish me luck . <p> Bunny <p> Kelly on February 27th , 2012 4:44 pm <p> Do n't have a pink bathroom .

We are lucky to have a full and half bath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bathrooms . <p> Our master bath ( half ) has pink tile walls and pink tiny tiles on the floor , a salmon toilet that needs to be replaced , and a GHASTLY early 90s replacement sink/oak cabinet , that MUST GO ! We are considering putting in a white toilet and white sink , and hoping it will look good with the pink ! <p> Our full bath has a pink and grey scheme . Pink tub , grey tiled walls , and underneath some horrible peel-n-stick " tiles " put in a few years ao by the previous owner , there is more of the <p> ( cont from previous comment ) ... there is more of the tiny pink tile such as we have in the master bath . The sink has been replaced with a moderately non-offensive ( though not retro ) white cabinet sink , and the toilet is a new white toilet . I 'm hoping to scrape up the stick-on tiles and salvage the pink floor .... wish me luck . <p> 50s Pam on March 4th , 2012 10:23 pm <p> luck @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pm <p> I love my pink bathroom ! I live in a 1959 condo in Seattle which was designed as the city 's first International Style mid-rise apartment by a famous New York architecture firm -- and they naturally chose coral pink bath fixtures made by the Briggs company in Abingdon , Illinois . ( If you are a collector , you 'll find that Abingdon China vases and other pieces from the 1940s will match perfectly , since they were made in the same factory . ) I 've watched other condo owners " improve " their bathrooms by ripping out the pink bath and toilet , replacing them with bland off-white in the manner prescribed by HGTV 's advertisers ; but when my building receives its historical landmark designation , mine will be one of the few originals left . I am now seeking a second home in Florida , and just toured a 1957 home which is pink outside and has an outrageously original pink bathroom -- a major selling point ! <p> Kim A. on March 6th , 2012 1:45 pm <p> If I had a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have two pink bathrooms ( and they made them pink voluntarily ! ) I love them . <p> Elena S on March 7th , 2012 7:41 pm <p> Just moved into an older apartment building with a charming pink ( fixtured ) bathroom and pink mosaic floor tiles .... love it ! Will upload photos when I unpack my zebra striped bath mat .... <p> Alyssa Nugent on March 10th , 2012 1:31 am <p> So my great uncle and his parents have owned a turn of the century duplex since the mid-40s . No one has lived in the downstairs apartment since about that time . Recently , me and my dad decided it was in our best interest if I was to move into the unoccupied space . The bathroom looks a traditional pink bathroom , complete with plastic pink tile and black plastic bull-nose caps to finish it off . My dad looked at it , looked at me , said it wont be that hard to get rid of , and kept walking . I stopped dead in my tracks and told him if he touched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kill him . Pink bathroom is here to stay ! ! ! <p> Our 1951 house has a pink bathroom with a pink sink , but someone replaced the floor tile at some point , so a goal in life is to find the perfect floor tile that will complete the look . Just so you all understand , we also kept the entirely original pink kitchen complete with stove and counters etc , and pinkified it even a bit further by making the cabinets pink , as the metal ones had been replaced . <p> 50s Pam on March 14th , 2012 11:16 am <p> Patty , try World of Tile in Springfield , New Jersey .

I am soooo excited about the house and the awesome pink bathroom , If we get the house , the pink bathroom will be the first thing I will fix up ( strip down the wallpaper and floors , add some cool new tile and paint and fixtures ) .

I am redoing the bathroom in the sense of maintaining the awesomeness of the 1950 ? s era . My only problem is finding colors for the walls that will not drown out the pinkness . <p> Colleen Pollard on March 20th , 2012 2:01 pm <p> I love pink bathrooms and vow only to add cute things that make them even more fun . <p> I purchased a home that was " thrown " together .

Unfortunately , the previous owners updated the vanity , lighting and cabinetry in the eighties , so I am looking to bring it back to its original glory . <p> One idea -- I saw a similar pink tiled powder room wallpapered with vintage maps that was amazing -- I never realized how much pink you see in maps until walking into that bathroom . <p> 50s Pam on March 20th , 2012 10:48 pm <p> Hi Anne , and congrats .

While I love pink , I was n't sure about our pink bathrooms . I thought they might get an update in the future but just could n't bring myself to realistically think of doing anything to these pink and brown tiles that cover the walls and floors . <p> I think they 've definitely grown on me and now I have pink bathroom love . I love the great ideas I 've seen about decorating pink bathrooms . I had n't given it much thought other than painting the walls a very light pink to accent the tiles . However , after seeing pictures of other pink bathrooms , I 'm ready to get busy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Save the Pink Bathrooms . <p> We just bought a house with a pink bathroom . The floor tiles &; walls are all pink accented with the black . We were looking into painting it or something prior to moving in .... which is May 17th 2012 .... I am a hippie chick and my mom said to leave it &; go retro . The more I thought about it , the more I LOVE the idea . I hope to get some great ideas from everyone here . I would be more than happy to listen to any and all your suggestions ! SAVE THE PINK ! ! ! <p> Angela Clark Brauneller on April 2nd , 2012 5:08 pm <p> We bought a cape cod style home in Madison , WI last year and it has a Mamie Pink bathroom down to the tiles and fixtures .

However , it has grown on me and now I kinda love it ! <p> Talitha McDougall on April 4th @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchased our first home . it was built in the early sixties and does indeed have a beautiful pink bathroom , which I absolutely adore . <p> We are slowly completing rennovations/repairs as we can afford to , and I have a query which you may be able to help me with.The vanity is laminate and seems to have lost some of its colour , when it is wet however the colour is quite vivid ( black with gold and silver speckles ) does this mean we could get some sort of clear coating put over the top to bring the colour back ? Just thought I would ask before I went and did something I would regret . <p> Thanks , love your work . <p> Wendy Johnson on April 4th , 2012 3:27 pm <p> I will stand by the pledge to save the Pink Bathroom . You all have inspired me . I moved into my 1957 home last February . I was thinking seriously about remodeling it and taking out the Pink tile , but not now . I 'm keeping it . I 'll post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American Standard ! Thanks everyone for your input and willingness to preserve ! <p> Just found your site , what a riot ! ! ! !

I ripped out the carpet to find the original and fabulous dual-shade pink tile -- once I found that , I did n't mind the hours of scraping the glue off the floor . <p> Many years ago I painted the walls a slate-blue color and was pretty happy with results but now I 'm having to do some ceiling repairs and I 'm considering repainting the wall a pale ( but rich ) gray . If the gray does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . <p> BTW : My master bath is all original too but it has sand-colored wall tiles topped with chocolate brown trim tile and tri-colored ( dark browns and tan ) floor tiles . I find this room much harder to decorate ( especially wall color , which is currently a rich gold ) than the pink bath . <p> I look forward to some great ideas here -- I 'll post a photo of my pink bath <p> I pledge to never remodel my vintage bathrooms ! While I was not lucky enough to get a PINK bathroom in our 1958 Ranch , we did get a light grey with a Cinderella corner bathtub and a light blue one . We painted the grey bathroom pink on the wall and got pink towels so I could have my pink ' 50 ? s bathroom ! We love 1950 ? s style and would n't change ours ... but I also pledge to try to make others keep theirs !

When we bought this place last year and were getting estimates for interior painting , kid you not EVERY contractor that came in told me how I could **29;10759;TOOLONG both bathrooms .

It had been rented and then closed up for several years , but we could tell the previous owners had loved and cared well for the house . It came complete with 1 pink and gray bathroom , and 1 green and gray bathroom , with all original tubs , toilets and sinks in white . At first I was just looking for decorating ideas because we knew we could n't afford to renovate right away , but after I found this site I realized that I truly did LOVE our new pink bathroom . And besides , the tile was in mostly perfect condition after nearly 60 years ! I ended up painting the walls a paler shade of pink and adding gray accents . We did have to replace the toilets in order to be more environmentally ( and water bill ) friendly . The green bathroom got gray walls and black and white accents .

You might look at Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations -- I have a few stories on my blog . Regarding cleaning the tile , sorry , I am not really an expert , and even if I were , I think it would be hard to diagnose here over the intertubes . Please know that if you start ripping stuff out -- you should consult with a licensed professional first . There can be asbestos in old resilient flooring including in adhesives ...

The wallpaper is original and was covered by a boring wallpaper that was n't difficult at all to remove . The wall on the left side was n't wallpapered for some reason that I do n't understand . It 's a work in progress . The next things I plan to do are replace the white toliet seat cover with a pink one , and find a curtain for the window and a curtain for the bathtub .

New floor ( gray/black , ) new countertop ( gray-black-white , ) new toilet ( white , with black lid , ) and repainting the non-tiled walls ( ivory . ) I 'm also keeping the old built-in cabinets with louvered doors -- I 've painted them black . Planning for at least one black-and-white photo poster on the wall . I think it is turning into a French new wave powder room . Sort of like Mamie wandering through a Goddard movie . <p> But would anything but pink tile have inspired me in such a manner ? Of course not . <p> Kristin on May 4th , 2012 11:03 am <p> After 17 years of living in this house ( NJ ) , I love the pink and black master bath .

Well the time has come to do some upkeep on my 1957 bungalow . I bought this house because of the style , I love all the retro things in it . Thinking that maybe I may sell in the next few years my grown sons , carpenters &; reno specialists were going to do the work I could not . I have the Pink bathroom , sadly none of the tile work . Bathtub and sink remain . After much arguing with my youngest about gutting it , which I refuse to do because I have a wonderful cast iron tub which holds the heat for ever . I decided I will do what I want and if I sell they can do what they want with it ! Unfortunately there are no reno-reuse stores here anymore , they started selling mostly new . So the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . With each discovery come a touch of joy . Reno season is upon us , so I have printed a flyer to deliver to homes in my neighbourhood , put a few up at stores and put out the word to all I know .

When I walk into mid-century ranch homes for sale , I always point out the selling feature opportunity created by the presence of a pink bathroom . Sadly , the real estate agents look at me like I have two heads . It brings a tear to the eye to know these fabulous and timeless potties are being ripped out and replaced with faux zen in a box . Stay strong ! Save the Pink Bathrooms ! <p> Roy on May 20th , 2012 10:59 am <p> About 8 years a ago i inherited a 50 ? s home with retro kitchen and bath ( pink tile ) over time i became educated to the history of this decor .

Ok , Now i can afford this makeover and am glad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offer , including this website .

Good luck , Roy ! <p> Jennifer on May 21st , 2012 12:14 pm <p> I live in the house that my great-grandparents built . It 's like living in a time-warp . Our bathroom is pink with blue trim , blue tub , sink , and toilet . And blue floor . I have always wanted to change it , but never had the money . We did have to replace the sink and toilet , but still have the tub . Who knew there was such a resurgence in the retro house . Maybe I will just re-grout the tile and learn to love it . I also have knotty pine walls , and kitchen cabinets that will never be changed . <p> Just when did this pink bathroom phase really start ? I own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with fabulous flamingo pink tile walls and 1 ? hexagonal white floor tiles . Anyone else , of this age home or older , have a fabulous pink bathroom ?

Several neighbors had pink tile . Our stylish aunt and uncle also built in 1958 ... a pink brick house with pink tiled baths and bright yellow kitchen built-ins and appliances . Their Christmas tree was always flocked pink with plain pink glass ornaments and spot-lit in a picture window with sheer priscillas . I always wanted a pink tile bath and finally got one in 1980 in an apartment in Dallas ... also with a pink brick exterior . A star-burst chandelier hung in the breezeway directly over my front door , My bath was the slightly salmon- @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there was a pebbled glass tub enclosure . I accessorized with red .

A few weeks ago I noticed the white paint by the tub drain was flecking away to reveal pink porcelain ! Apparently when the house was built this bathroom was Mamie Pink and sometime in the last 50 years a previous owner decided to renovate and rip out and paint over all traces of pink . Shame on them ! Now that I know what 's under the peeling paint in the tub , that 's going to be stripped , a pink sink will be reinstalled and the gawd-awful matching Greek blue tile on the floor and walls ( the sound you hear is me retching ) will be yanked out . In their stead , splendid pink wall tiles and flooring will make their triumphant return . This I make my solemn vow .

Our MCM home was flooded last year and we are doing everything we can to retain the spirit of the home . My bathroom had/has Crane fixtures , in pink ( of course ) -- tub , toilet , and sink .

So I am desperately searching for a pink Crane sink that is not as deep as my old sink but is the same pink as the tub and toilet . The sink we have says the following on the bottom : VIT CHINA and has a date : May 16 1963 . I have found a pink Crane sink ( at Toldeo Architectural Artifacts ) that will fit in the new cabinetry , and it looks like a good match in the photo ( but who knows in a photo on a web site ! ) . The very nice woman on the phone says the date on her their sink is 1955 , and she is still searching for a Crane color chart . Does anyone out there know if a 1955 pink Crane sink would match a 1963 pink Crane sink ?

@@5029341 <h> The Best Films of 2011 <p> Making lists is not my favorite occupation . They inevitably inspire only reader complaints . Not once have I ever heard from a reader that my list was just fine , and they liked it . Yet an annual Best Ten list is apparently a statutory obligation for movie critics . <p> My best guess is that between six and ten of these movies wo n't be familiar . Those are the most useful titles for you , instead of an ordering of movies you already know all about . <p> One recent year I committed the outrage of listing 20 movies in alphabetical order . What an uproar ! Here are my top 20 films , in order of approximate preference . <p> 1 . " A Separation " <p> This Iranian film wo n't open in Chicago until Jan. 27 . It won the Golden Bear at Berlin and was just named the year 's best foreign film by the New York Film Critics Circle . It is specifically Iranian , but I believe the more specific a film is about human experience , the more universal it is . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seem to be for nobody in particular . This film combines a plot worthy of a great novel with the emotional impact of a great melodrama . It involves a struggle for child custody , the challenge of a parent with Alzheimer 's , the intricacies of the law , and the enigma of discovering the truth . In its reconstruction of several versions of a significant event , it is as baffling as " Rashomon . " <p> A modern Iranian couple considers emigrating to Europe to find better opportunities for their daughter . The mother wants to leave quickly . The father delays because his father has Alzheimer 's and needs care . " Your father no longer knows you ! " his wife says during a hearing in divorce court . " But I know him ! " says her husband . We can identify with both statements . <p> A caregiver is hired but can not come , and his wife secretly substitutes for him . It 's against her religious principles for her to touch any man not her husband , but her family needs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deep moral tangle . Asghar Farhadi 's real subject is Truth , when it is disagreed about by people we respect even though we know most of the facts . " A Separation " will become one of those enduring masterpieces watched decades from now . <p> 2 . " Shame " <p> Michael Fassbender 's brave , uncompromising performance is at the center of Steve McQueen 's merciless film about sex addiction . He 's a loner with a good job , who avoids relationships because of his obsession with sex . He is driven to experience multiple orgasms every day . His shame is masked in privacy . He wants no witnesses to his hookers , his pornography , his masturbation . Does he fear he is incapable of ordinary human contact ? <p> There is n't the slightest suggestion he experiences pleasure . Sex is his cross to bear . The film opens with a close-up of Fassbender 's face showing pain , grief and anger . His character is having an orgasm . He is enduring a sexual function that has long since stopped giving him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . <p> Carey Mulligan co-stars as his sister . She is as passionate and uninhibited as he is the opposite . She needs him desperately . He fears need . He flies at her in a rage , telling her to get out . She has nowhere to go . He does n't care . Childhood has damaged them . " Shame " is a great act of filmmaking and acting . I do n't believe I would be able to see it twice . <p> 3 . " The Tree of Life " <p> A film of vast ambition and deep humility , attempting no less than to encompass all of existence and view it through the prism of a few infinitesimal lives . Terrence Malick 's film begins with the Big Bang that created our universe , and ends after the characters have left the realm of time . In between , it zooms in on a moment , surrounded by infinity . <p> Scenes portray a childhood in a town in the American midlands , where life flows in and out through open windows . There is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forgiveness , and long summer days of play and idleness and urgent unsaid questions about the meaning of things . Three boys in the 1950s American Midwest are browned by the sun , scuffed by play , disturbed by glimpses of adult secrets , filled with a great urgency to grow up and discover who they are . <p> Listen to an acute exchange of dialogue between the son Jack ( Hunter McCracken ) and his father ( Brad Pitt ) . " I was a little hard on you sometimes , " Mr. Brien says , and Jack replies : " It 's your house . You can do what you want to . " Jack is defending his father against himself . That 's how you grow up . And it all happens in this blink of a lifetime , surrounded by the realms of unimaginable time and space . <p> 4 . " Hugo " <p> In the guise of a delightful 3D family film , Martin Scorsese makes a love letter to the cinema . His hero Hugo ( Asa Butterfield ) had an uncle who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ station . His father 's dream was to complete an automated man he found in a museum . He died with it left unperfected . Rather than be treated as an orphan , the boy hides himself in the maze of ladders , catwalks , passages and gears of the clockworks themselves , feeding himself with croissants snatched from station shops , and begins to sneak off to the movies . <p> His life in the station is complicated by a toy shop owner named Georges Mlis . Yes , this grumpy old man , played by Ben Kingsley , is none other than the immortal French film pioneer , who was also the original inventor of the automaton . Hugo has no idea of this . The real Mlis was a magician who made his first movies to play tricks on his audiences . <p> Without our quite realizing it , Hugo 's changing relationship with the old man becomes the story of the invention of the movies , and the preservation of our film heritage . Could anyone but Scorsese have made this subject so magical and enchanting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ annoyance , the way Scorsese employs it here is quite successful ; in calling attention to itself , 3D subtly calls attention to film itself . <p> 5 . " Take Shelter " <p> Curtis LaForche ( Michael Shannon ) appears to be a stable husband and father with a good job in construction , but he also can evoke by his eyes and manner a deep unease . Curtis has what he needs to be happy . He fears he will lose it . His dreams are visited by unusually vivid nightmares : The family dog attacks him , or storms destroy his home . They live on the outskirts of town , in an area which is swept from time to time with tornadoes . <p> Director Jeff Nichols builds his suspense carefully . Curtis is tormented but intelligent ; fearing the family 's history of mental illness , he visits his schizophrenic mother ( Kathy Baker ) to ask if she was ever troubled by bad dreams . He turns to the area 's obviously inadequate public health facilities . <p> And he also acts as if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the bank and equipment from work to greatly expand an old storm shelter in his backyard . His wife ( Jessica Chastain ) is frightened by his behavior . His job and health insurance are threatened . People begin to talk . And then a storm comes . It leads to a searing scene in which the man and his wife must confront their fears about the weather--and about each other . <p> 6 . " Kinyarwanda " <p> I was moved by " Hotel Rwanda " ( 2004 ) , but not really shaken this deeply . After seeing " Kinyarwanda , " I have a different kind of feeling about the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994 . The film approaches it not as a story line but as a series of intense personal moments . <p> In an independent film of great emotional impact , the film 's director , a Jamaican named Alrick Brown , establishes a vivid group of characters . A young couple from different tribes who are in love . The female head of a military unit trained in Uganda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Mufti of Rwanda . Most memorable , a small boy named Ishmael . Their personal stories are entangled in the ancient conflict between tribes , while the UN regards the genocide from afar . The title may put some people off . It is the name of the language both tribes speak , although the film is largely in English . I 'm inviting " Kinyarwanda " to Ebertfest 2012 . <p> 7 . " Drive " <p> The Driver drives for hire . He has no other name and no other life . When we meet him , he 's the wheelman for a getaway car , who runs from police pursuit not by speed , but by coolly exploiting the street terrain and outsmarting his pursuers . By day , he 's a stunt driver for action movies . The two jobs represent no conflict for him : He drives . He has no family , no history and seemingly few emotions . Whatever happened to him drove any personality deep beneath the surface . Played by Ryan Gosling , he is an existential hero , defined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Winding Refn , peoples his story with characters who bring lifetimes onto the screen--in contrast to the Driver , who brings as little as possible . Ron Perlman is a big-time operator working out of a pizzeria in a strip mall . Albert Brooks plays a producer of the kinds of B movies the Driver does stunt driving for ; he also has a sideline in crime . These people are ruthless . " Drive " looks like one kind of thriller in the ads , and it is that kind of thriller , but also another and a rebuke to most of the movies it looks like . <p> 8 . " Midnight in Paris " <p> A fabulous daydream for American lit majors , Woody Allen 's charming comedy opens with a couple on holiday in Paris . Gil ( Owen Wilson ) and Inez ( Rachel McAdams ) are officially in love , but what Gil really loves is Paris in the springtime . He 's a hack screenwriter from Hollywood who still harbors the dream of someday writing a good novel and joining the pantheon of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ air he breathes : Fitzgerald , Hemingway and the other legends of Paris in the 1920s . <p> By ( wisely ) unexplained means , each midnight he finds himself magically transported back in time to the legendary salon presided over by Gertrude Stein . He meets Scott and Zelda , Ernest , Picasso , Dali , Cole Porter , Luis Bunuel and , yes , " Tom Eliot . " He even gives Bunuel the idea for his film " The Exterminating Angel . " Kathy Bates makes an authoritative Miss Stein , and Marion Cotillard plays Adriana , who has already been the mistress of Braque and Modigliani , is now Picasso 's lover , and may soon -- be still , my heart ! -- fall in love with Gil . <p> 9 . " Le Havre " <p> Aki Kaurismaki is a Finnish director who makes dour , deadpan comedies about people who shrug their way through misfortune . They have a hypnotic fascination for me . " Le Havre " is the sunniest film of his I 've seen . Set in the French port @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , an illegal immigrant from Gabon , solemn , shy , appealing . The hero , Marcel Marx ( Andre Wilms ) , fishing near a pier , sees the boy hiding waist-deep in the water . He leaves out some food and finds it gone the next day . And so , with no plan in mind , Marcel becomes in charge of protecting the boy from arrest . <p> The whole neighborhood gets involved in hiding the boy from the port inspector . This involves low-key comedy that occasionally shifts into high , as with a local rock singer named Little Bob ( Roberto Piazza ) , whose act is unlike any you have ever seen . Young Idrissa finds himself in the center of a miraculous episode between Marcel and his wife , which may not be believable but is certainly satisfying . <p> 10 . " The Artist . " <p> What audacity to make a silent film in black and white in 2011 , and what a film Michel Hazanavicius has made ! Jean Dujardin won the Best Actor award at Cannes for his work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advent of the talkies . His career is rescued by a young dancer ( Brnice Bejo ) he was kind to when he was at the top . This wonderful film is many things : Comedy , pathos , melodrama . For many people , this will be their introduction to silent movies , and cause them to reconsider if they really dislike black and white . It 's an audience pleaser , and many in the audience wo n't be expecting that . It also seems to be leading the year-end lists of award nominees , and could even become the first silent film to win an Oscar as Best Picture since " Wings " ( 1927 ) . <p> 11 . Melancholia <p> This film about the end of the world is , Lars von Trier assured us , his first with a happy ending . I think I see what he means . At least his poor characters need suffer no longer . If I were choosing a director to make a film about the subject , von Trier the gloomy Dane might be my first choice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Werner Herzog 's . Both understand that at such a time silly little romantic subplots take on a vast irrelevance . <p> That 's even the case in " Melancholia , " which actually takes place at a wedding party for newlyweds . In the sky , another planet looms ever larger , but life carries on all the same here below . Kirsten Dunst is the new bride , and Charlotte Gainsbourg plays her sister . The two seem to exchange personalities . The details matter less than the grand overarching mood . <p> 12 . " Terri " <p> Tells the story the story of a fat kid who is mocked in high school . Terri ( Jacob Wysocki ) is smart , gentle and instinctively wise . His decision to wear pajamas to school " because they fit " may be an indication that later in life he will amount to a great deal . He has character . He 's been missing a lot of school and is called in by the assistant principal ( John C. Reilly ) , a school administrator unlike those we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ learned in his own difficult life . He and Terri slowly begin to communicate person to person . <p> Chad ( Bridger Zadina ) is another of the administrator 's problem children , a morose , slouching outsider driven to pluck hairs from his head . Heather ( Olivia Crocicchia ) is a pretty young student who is threatened with expulsion , Terri steps up and defends her , in a way that shows he respects her and empathizes . He may be a kid who is fat and weird , but he 's much more than fat and weird . This film has also been invited to Ebertfest 2012 . <p> 13 . " The Descendants " <p> George Clooney in one of his best performances as a descendant of one of Hawaii 's first white land-owning families , who must decide whether to open up a vast tract of virgin forest on Kauai to tourist and condo development . This decision comes at the same time his wife has had a boating accident and is in a coma . Having devoted most of his attention to business , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two daughters while also dealing with the King family 's urgent desire to close the multi-million-dollar land deal . <p> Leading the push for the King family is Cousin Hugh ( Beau Bridges ) . As affable as Bridges can be , he does n't want to listen to any woo-woo Green nonsense about not selling . The film follows Clooney 's character 's legal , family and emotional troubles in careful detail , until director Alexander Payne shows us , without forcing it , that they are all coiled together . We get vested in the lives of the characters . We come to understand how they think , and care about what they decide about the substantial moral problems underlying the plot . <p> 14 . " Margaret " <p> Kenneth Lonergan 's film begins with a young woman ( Anna Paquin ) thinking she may have contributed to a fatal bus accident through her own foolishness . She decides the bus driver ( Mark Ruffalo ) should also be held accountable , and makes it her business to see that he is . This story cross-cuts with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sweet mid-life romance . The film inspired an online conspiracy theory when Fox Searchlight was accused of being shy about its 9/11 material . Actually , 9/11 figures only marginally ; what 's important is the conflict between the young woman 's perfectionism and things as they are . <p> 15 . " Martha Marcy May Marlene " <p> Those are four names that apply at various times in the life of a young woman played by Elizabeth Olsen . " Martha " is her name . " Marcy May " is the name given to her by the leader of a cult group she falls into . " Marlene " is the name all the women in the group use to answer the telephone . The cult leader is an evil and mesmeric figure played with great effect by John Hawkes . Her experience in the cult causes her confusion about her identity after she escapes into the relative safety of the home of her sister ( Sarah Paulson ) . Sean Durkin 's film builds on the strong Elizabeth Olsen to show how easily groups can control their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Deathly Hallows , Part 2 " <p> The second installment in the last chapter of the legendary saga comes to a solid and satisfying conclusion , conjuring up enough awe and solemnity to serve as an appropriate finale and a dramatic contrast to the lighthearted ( relative ) innocence of " Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone " all those magical years ago . <p> 17 . Trust <p> The bravest thing about David Schwimmer 's " Trust " is that it does n't try to simplify . It tells its story of a 14-year-old girl and a predatory pedophile as a series of repercussions in which rape is only the first , and possibly not the worst , tragedy to strike its naive and vulnerable victim . Liana Liberato stars as a " good girl " who is n't advanced , who feels uncomfortable at a party where " popular girls " fake sophistication . She 's never had a boyfriend when she meets Charlie ( Chris Henry Coffey ) in an online chat room . Charlie is in high school . Like her , he plays volleyball @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ understands her . She grows closer to Charlie than any boy she 's ever known . They talk for hours on the phone . But Charlie is not what he seems . <p> 18 . " Life , Above All " <p> This South African feature centers on a 12-year-old named Chanda ( Khomotso Manyaka ) , who takes on the responsibility of holding her family together after her baby sister dies . Family members are suspected of having AIDS ; the community ostracizes them , until a courageous neighbor finally steps in . An opening scene shows Chanda choosing a coffin for her baby sister . The seriousness and solemnity with which she performs this task is heart-rending and heart-warming . Both director Oliver Schmitz and the gifted Miss Manyaka attended Ebertfest 2011 . <p> 19 . " The Mill and the Cross " <p> Any description would be an injustice . It opens on a carefully-composed landscape based on a famous painting , " The Way to Calvary " ( 1564 ) , by the Flemish master Pieter Bruegel the Elder . Within the painting , a few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ figure of Christ among the 500 in the vast landscape . Others are going about their everyday lives . The film is an extraordinary mixture of live action , special effects , green screen work and even an actual copy of the painting itself ( by Lech Majewski , the film 's Polish director ) . Set not in the Biblical lands but in Flanders , it uses Belgians as Jews and the Spanish as Romans , in an allegorical parallel which also breaks down into fragments of lives . It is a film before which words fall silent . <p> 20 . " Another Earth " <p> Joins " Melancholia " as a second 2011 film about a new planet hanging in our sky . This one does n't presage the end of the world , but represents perhaps our very same Earth , in another universe that has now become visible . Stars Brit Marling a young woman who has been accepted into the astrophysics program at MIT . She hears the news about Earth 2 . Peering out her car window to search the sky , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and sending the father into a coma . <p> A few years pass . She 's released from prison and learns that the father , a composer named John Burroughs ( William Mapother ) , has emerged from his coma . Rhoda is devastated by the deaths she caused and wants to apologize or make amends or ... what ? She does n't know . She presents herself at the shabby rural house where Burroughs lives as a depressed recluse . They grow closer . Did the accident not occur on Earth 2 ? <p> Those are my top 20 , leaving out documentaries , which I will list later . To include them on the same list would be ranking oranges and apples . There were many other excellent films in 2011 , some fully the equal of some of these . Alphabetically : <p> Note : Many of you asked if I forgot about " We Need to Talk About Kevin . " Not at all . It does n't even have an opening date in Chicago , and so will be on my list of the best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say I called it " one of the best films of the year , " which it certainly is . Watch Tilda Swinton here as she talks with me about the film at the Toronto Film Festival : http : //bit.ly/qYwRJf <h> Categories : <h> 321 Comments <p> Given your above comments I 'd like to say ( which I normally would n't ) that this is a wonderful list . Today I was feeling pretty crummy and I went to my local indie bookstore for comfort ( Brookline Booksmith ) . I stumbled upon " Life Itself " and was immediately hooked by the back quote , which says <p> ? " I believe that if , at the end , according to our abilities , we have done something to make others a little happier , and something to make ourselves a little happier , that is about the best we can do . To make others less happy is a crime . To make ourselves unhappy is where all the crime starts . We must try to contribute joy to the world . That is true no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . We must try . I did n't always know this , and am happy I lived long enough to find it out . " <p> Gorgeous . First and foremost , thank you for this book , I 'm extremely excited to read it over winter break ( <p> NOW onto the list : I appreciate the inclusion of Another Earth , a film I love dearly that seems to have been forgotten by most . Also I am a huge fan of The Tree of Life , Hugo , and Martha Marcy . I will make sure to check out the films that I have n't gotten to see , like Kinyarwanda . <p> As always , your commitment to film and your passionate love for it are inspiring . Thank You . <p> I saw ' Another Earth ' and I agree it should be on the ' best of ' list . Amazing scene with a guy playing a saw - how many movies have that ? ! You can listen to the music from this scene on the composer 's website http : **35;1722;TOOLONG ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hugo " was one of the year 's great surprises and I actually look forward to watching " Terri " this evening ! <p> I co-host a community radio show about movies and I made a list of 2011 releases that I must catch up on in order to put together a proper top ten list . However , I was aghast to see that this list totaled around 30 films ! Also , many of these movies which qualify as 2011 releases wo n't open in my city until January at best . These would include A Dangerous Method and Shame . Your No. 1 film , A Separation , I had only heard about week ago ! I have no idea when it 's opening here in Ottawa ! <p> But there 's no doubt in my mind that my No. 1 film this year is " Drive " because it contains almost everything I love about cinema : masterful direction , great performances , style , visceral thrills and a killer soundtrack ! <p> Honestly , I am completely satisfied by this list . I have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offered a press pass to a NYC screening the other day but could n't go . Anyways , I would only disagree on the order ( Melancholia would be my number 1 ) . Still I think this is the most satisfied I could ever be with one of your lists , great choices ! <p> I am fascinated that you included the polarizing Margaret . Will you post a review for it ? I have been skeptical of it since the studio released a truncated version of what the director wanted . I would be interested in seeing the studio release of Margaret and the director 's version , which star Mark Ruffalo called , " A masterpiece . " <p> I really respect this list . All the ones I have seen are in my particular top 10 . Also I really wanted to ask you if it 's best to see Hugo in 3D or in 2D , because I mostly align with you in your distaste for 3D , but you seem to enjoy the 3D . Is it really worth it ? I would really @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have being waiting for the movie to arrive at my country . Thanks a lot . <p> I read several movie journalists/bloggers ( yourself included ) and am aware of all of these movies . Of your Top 20 , I have seen Tree of Life , Midnight in Paris and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part II as well as Rango from your runnerups . <p> I would have seen more , but money was an issue . I look forward to seeing all the movies on the list in theaters or Blu-ray . <p> Hip hip hooray for your inclusion of " Martha Marcy May Marlene ! " Pretend for a moment that Sean Durkin had received a budget as big as what Terrence Malick was given for " The Tree of Life . " Now pretend that Durkin instead shot his film with the Big Bang as a precursor to a small story with rather large questions and implications into the existence of man within nature , in which a young girl is driven mad by confusion from a loss of identity . Bam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . " <p> Roger - love the list , but wondering if you have seen " Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close " yet ? I was lucky enough to see it last week and found it almost impossibly emotional and gripping . I 've been amazed that it 's being ignored by so many awards . Why do you think that 's happening ? <p> It 's easy to see how much you detest making lists based on your simplistic , pained writing style with this one . Nonetheless , thank you for staying away from , for the most part , filling it with surefire Oscar nominees . I am surprised that neither of the two Herzog movies made your list , though . <p> I reviewed ' We Need to Talk About Kevin ' during the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea . I thought it was not only one of the best of the festival , but one of the years very best films . I think there 's been quite a bit of recognition for Lynne Ramsay 's direction , as well as Tilda Swinton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was curious as to what Mr. Ebert 's thoughts on the film were . Alas , no review ? What gives ? Did you not get a chance to see the film , Mr. Ebert ? <p> That said , I have two observation to make . First , a couple of the movies in your Top 10 , Drive and Midnight in Paris , you originally gave 3 1/2 stars . I feel that this was n't a very good year for movies , and I could n't name ten four-star movies from 2011 . Was this your sentiment ? <p> What I appreciate most about the list is a disregard for the star ratings you initially gave individual films . A " 4 star " film ( Rango ) has been relegated to honorable mention , while some " 3.5 star " films ( Melancholia , Martha Marcy May Marlene ) , have been bumped up to the top 20 list . I recognize the impulse in myself . A movie can grow after an initial viewing . Sometimes it does n't even need a second viewing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Melancholia is an objectively " better " movie than Rango , only that I 'm heartened to see that your appraisal of a movie does n't stop after the review , it can only reconfigure itself . Good stories and art can do this to us . They can be sneaky . They can posit themselves as merely good ( even moderate or bad ) objects before spreading their influence ( sometimes their pleasure ) like an inkblot on our memories . ( Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy did this for me ... too bad it did n't do the same for you : 0 ) Happy Holidays ! <p> Trust is a great film . Not only is the acting perfect , but I believed every character and scene . Strangely , however , I consider the scene where Annie meets Charlie in the mall to be more terrifying and creepy than anything I have seen in a horror movie . I would even consider Trust to be a horror movie . <p> The film works because it affects us on a very deep level , but I also like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) into a bad guy in ways that so many Hollywood films have done with fathers . You believe in and sympathize with Owen , even when he makes a big mistake such as attacking the parent at the girl 's game . I believe a father would behave in the same ways that Owen 's character did if their 14 year old daughter had been raped by a pedophile . <p> I do n't know whether or not it is as common for minors to start online relationships with pedophiles or sexual predators as it is portrayed in the film . The argument is that sexual abuse is more likely to be committed by people we know . However , Schwimmer 's film is so affective in its portrayal of a 14 year old girl who falls prey to an online sexual predator , that it successfully convinces us that it is a big problem . <p> Roger , even though you hate making lists so much , you have the most diverse one out of any critic I 've seen this year . I have always referred to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for choosing preference to films with originality and expertise in the arts . Having seen McQueen 's Hunger recently , I am quite excited to see Shame and I am most anticipating A Separation . That film looks like one that will standout among the best . <p> The negative reviews for " The Tree of Life " smacks of philistinism . Where is it written that every movie has to be spelled out for its audience ? I think a lot of critics went into the film with their minds already made up . I hope Brad Pitt gets nominated for the right film . And Jessica Chastain gives the best mute performance since Samantha Morton in " Sweet and Lowdown " . What , all of a sudden , people hate dinosaurs ? Terrence Malick can do whatever he damn well pleases . He 's earned that right . <p> One film that has stuck with me from this year , thanks in part to its perfect , haunting ending , is Lee Chang Dong 's " Poetry . " If these awards races had a more level @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best actress consideration . <p> Although it certainly can feel a bit cornball at times , I also really liked " Warrior " and was a bit shocked that it bombed at the box office despite the good reviews and positive word of mouth . Speaking of movies that deserved more attention this year , " City of Life and Death " was finally released stateside and is one of the best war movies I 've seen . Tagging it as a Chinese " Schindler 's List " is understandable but also unfair , as this is a film that stands on its own with a distinct , personal vision running through it . I was looking forward to reading a Roger Ebert review for it , but it unfortunately received just a small arthouse release . <p> I agree with you in many respects , but I would add 50/50 to the list . It is rather a quiet film , easily lost in the hubbub but as someone who was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009 and living with it ever since , that film rang true on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is a honor for me to see a Separation is the first one in your list ... i am from iran and it is been a huge wave of hope for the cinema of iran .. people in iran loves this movie too .. and we are supporting Mr.Farhadi ... I really wish that he get oscar for this movie ... and if anyone got any question about . art of iran or farhadi 's work i would be happy to answer.here is my Email **34;1759;TOOLONG <p> Hi Roger , I do n't understand why you just do n't pick the best movie of the year and after that you make is top 10 contenders movies including mainstream , independent , foreign , documentary etc ? I think that it would be the best for you . <p> For 2011 , the best movie that I saw is ' ' The tree of life ' ' so far and I also really like ' ' Another earth ' ' , ' ' Super 8 ' ' , ' ' Terri ' ' and ' ' The future ' ' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the movies in your list , you are a good source for my choices of movies . <p> I keep coming back to this blog from time to time . Not so much because I know that I will get deep insights into the magic of Cinema but rather because of the things that I do n't know and will get to discover and appreciate . Thank you for opening my horizons this way . <p> I just watched the best movie I 've seen this year . It was my first viewing of IKIRU . I went immediately to your Great Movie review . And then here . You describe " A Separation " as " one of those masterpieces watched decades from now . " And that 's exactly what I thought after seeing IKIRU . Interesting . <p> I really enjoyed reading this , Roger . I especially like that you included " Take Shelter , " " Margaret , " and " Trust . " " Trust , " especially , seems to have fallen off the critical radar , and I thought it was excellent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at various places , although I thought one of the best of the year was Jonathan Levine 's heartfelt " 50/50 . " I also really enjoyed " Project Nim , " " Alps , " and " We Need to Talk About Kevin . " <p> I also thought " Mission Impossible 4 " was very entertaining , and enjoyed what I believe were references to " The Third Man , " " Atlantic City , " and " The Red Balloon . " Did you catch these ? <p> I will not say this list is good or bad , but I will say it is weird . I have never heard of the first film on the list , and never expected a Harry Potter film to make a " best of " list , although it was good . Actually when I look over this list again , I 've only seen ' Harry Potter , ' ' The Tree of Life ' , and ' The Descendants . ' Sadly , almost none of these movies have played in a theater near me . <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have not encountered like the African one . I 'm surprised at the exclusion of " tinker tailor " although I understand it 's not everyone 's cup of tea . And I 'm a little shocked that " Beginners " did n't fall into your top 20 ! I for one thought it would based almost solely on the impeccable performance by christopher plummer . <p> Anyway , all said , a good list that plucks from all walks of life . Pretty much a summation of the broad spectrum of good cinema this year . Also , I 'm a little peeved when you say that people would ' disagree ' with your list . How is it humanly possible to disagree with PERSONAL OPINION ! ! ! like it or hate it , tweak the list and it becomes another person 's top 20 ! <p> Looking forward to another Audience vs Ebert-style Oscar competition on MUBI ! I was very proud as a 16 year old to have the honor of ' beating ' you , and hopefully ( we ) get another chance ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minor point , I think the wife in " A Separation " was going to immigrate to Australia , not Europe . <p> " War Horse " is not on the list ? <p> I was disappointed by the Harry Potter finale . Lord Voldemort never rose to the ranks of a great villain , despite having more screen time to build up his street cred than any villain in history ... save perhaps Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes . <p> There 's a TV show called " Chuck , " about a nerdy main character who still dreams of becoming the Captain of the Millennium Falcon . Not a single space ship emerged to challenge the vision of George Lucas in the imaginations of children everywhere ... a strange omission for Hollywood . Why would I want to be a boy wizard when I could be Captain of a Star Ship ? <p> Just so you know Roger perhaps the people who do n't usually comment on your lists like myself are the ones who respect your opinion . Just so you know every year I look forward to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any potential gems I have missed out on . <p> With your best of the decade list I first came across a title that for some reason I had never seen before , " Synecdoche , New York " . The title inspired me to write my dissertation on Kaufman and the age old debate of film authorship . I achieved a first class hons . <p> Please do n't stop writing these lists . If this list inspires just one person to seek out The Tree of Life , surely it 's worth the time and effort . <p> I now look forward to seeing " A Separation " , not because I presume it will be great film ; because I respect your opinion and passion of film . <p> As soon as I saw the third sentence , I figured I would say just that . But despite there only being 18 comments thus far , I saw that two people have beaten me to it . Which says a lot about your readers , and therefore- about you and your blog . Its written by and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Wingnuts hate you so much . ) <p> I 'll never understand why these lists bring out negativity - they are , after all , the author 's opinion ! <p> I am probably committing a cinephile sin here , but I would love to be directed towards a list ( of similar tastes ) of the best DVD releases for 2011 . With a new baby , going to the cinema simply does not happen , but our Love Film subscription is well-used ! <p> After reading the SAG and Golden Globes nomination lists for 2011 I found myself thinking : " Is this really the best we got ? " I look forward to discovering some of the lesser known films on your list and feel thrilled that I may not have seen the " best " yet . <p> Since I mostly agree with your reviews ( either that or I REALLY disagree ) , so I am going to see the ones on this list I have n't seen yet . And since I 'm from Denmark , I find great pleasure in seeing both @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Refn and Lars Von Trier both are Danes . It 's just too bad that neither ' Shame ' , ' The Artist ' , or ' Terri ' is coming to Danish theatres . Got ta get those on dvd instead . <p> First off , I 'm a big fan . I love your reviews , and I generally agree with everything you say . I did have one quick comment on one of the things you said ( not arguing one of your choices , just pointing something out ) . I do believe that , in the lead-up to Melancholia , von Trier stated that this would be his first movie WITHOUT a happy ending , not with a happy ending ( which , mind you , is kind of odd , considering his past movies ) . A quotation from the initial synopsis : " Trier has said that he considers all of his previous films to end happily , and that this will be the first with an unhappy ending . " Regardless , I do see where you 're coming from , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the characters ' misery . <p> I enjoy reading your lists and the reasons why you liked each movie , Mr Ebert , so please keep on posting them every December . Top 20 movies is even better than the usual Top 10 . It gives me more ideas about what to watch , since I am usually well behind in watching each year 's movies . Of course , I do not always agree with you about the best movies , but why should everybody agree ? : ) <p> Roger , I 've been waiting for your review on A Separation for so long . now that I see you 've liked it so much , I recommend watching Farhadi 's " About Elly " , which in my opinion is even better that A Separation . <p> Wonderful list , you never disappoint . Have seen 10 of the 20 and anxiously look forward to catching the others . The moment I finished viewing A Separation I knew it too would be my favourite of the year . Director Ashgar Farhadi gave a wonderfully insightful and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even more to this perfect film . <p> Love your smaller film collections . Another Earth proved that you can make a marvelous and though-provoking spec-fiction film on little budget and creatively low-level special effects . Great story and well-defined characters will do . <p> Merry Christmas and best wishes for the holiday season and New Year Roger . <p> I was not expecting to see Drive ranked so high , but I guess it grew on you - it seems to have done for a lot of critics . Conversely , since you compared The Tree of Life with 2001 , I thought it would top your list . <p> On a different note , now I 'm more keen than ever to see A Separation , but it still is n't playing where I live - ah well . I 'm sure they 'll get around to showing it , along with The Artist . <p> Hazanvicius is getting overpraised . Hell , I made a silent feature in 2006 ! Of course I did n't have the connections and the resources he does to promote his film @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But I was there first , goddammit ! It was a labor of love underappreciated in its day . Maybe one day it 'll get recognized what it is . Mark my words , one day Roger I 'll make a fantastic , marvelous film that 'll top your top ten . <p> I will so miss the show . It has been wonderful . Did n't think I could adjust without you , but you and Chaz have done a wonderful job putting it together , moderators keep getting better and better and as one who has watched forever , so enjoy the old clips . Hopefully it will return . <p> What an exceptional list , Roger . As I live in an aesthetically challenged third world country , I have n't seen any of these movies ( except for the delightful Midnight in Paris ) but they have been so well described by you that I only hope some day they will be considered bad enough to be shown in Santiago . <p> The Tree of Life is my #1 and I am glad to see that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the top film for the Toronto Film Critics Association . It is a film like no other I have seen -- an impressionist painting with music , dialogue and motion . A remarkable work of art . <p> And if it ever finds distribution , I urge you and your readers to seek out Volcano ( Eldfjall ) , an incredible Icelandic film I saw at TIFF this year . A beautiful , moving portrait of a bitter old man whose true self surfaces in the face of a personal tragedy . <p> Well , I thoroughly enjoyed this list . I certainly do n't agree with it in every respect , or even most respects , but that is what makes year-end lists interesting : no two are the same . <p> I particularly appreciate , though , your placement of Shame , which was easily my favorite movie of the year . A lot of the critical response to it has been very frustrating so it is really heartening that somebody else seems to have gotten it on the level that I did . And this only makes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ list is fine . Particularly happy to see " The Tree of Life " so prominently featured . Brad Pitt 's Oscar nod this year will probably be for " Moneyball , " but I appreciated his efforts in this film more . There is a scene where he puts his hand on Sean Penn 's shoulder ( nothing else happens ) which elicited an emotional reaction that I 've never experienced at a movie before . <p> Love that you included Margaret , which I thought was Anna Paquin 's best work since winning her Oscar as a child . And if Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan are n't at least nominated for Oscars , it 'll be a crying shame . Their work stands out as brave and uncompromising in the bravest and most uncompromising film of the year . <p> I really look forward to your year end lists and then spend most of the next year catching up . 90% of these movies wo n't ever get a release in India but have seen Melancholia , Tree of Life and Drive so far and your lists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thank you and happy holidays . <p> oh my god ! I 'm an Iranian and this is such an honor for me ! I 'm really proud . I 'm a huge fan of Asghar Farhadi and I recommend you to watch and , two other masterpieces by Farhadi . These three films make a trilogy , The Trilogy of Lies . They are all masterpieces , especially . Thank you Roger for your great choice . Thank you so much . <p> Thank you for being passionate about the movies and always bringing to our attention films that have heart , something to say and probably wo n't have sequels . <p> if I ever see all these films , I might find others I have liked more but what matters most is your reminders that movies can and do ) inspire , teach , educate , show us things we 've never seen before and there 's more to it than just business , box-office and intelligence deadening escapism . <p> Of this list , I 've only seen Midnight In Paris , but I have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Particularly Hugo and Terri . <p> At the risk of being called a nitpicker , I have trouble with Another Earth because its gravity would cause worldwide destruction within minutes of its first appearance , thus invalidating the entire plot . <p> Thanks for an inspirational list . By inspirational I mean , that you have included movies that could be lost in translation ( yes I admire that movie ) . <p> " Trust , " " The Mill and the Cross , " " Life , Above All , " just to name a few them . I use lists , like the one you have made , only to get some inspiration . <p> Personally , I feel that it is very difficult to compare movies and put them on a list . Yes , you can say something of the quality of a given movie and analyze certain aspects of it , but how on earth would you compare a movie like say " The Artist " and " The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo " ( the first two that came to my mind ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I ca n't see the point in comparing them . It 's like comparing apples and oranges . <p> " At the risk of being called a nitpicker , I have trouble with Another Earth because its gravity would cause worldwide destruction within minutes of its first appearance , thus invalidating the entire plot . " <p> Lynn , in addition to this , the other Earth was always featured with the other Moon . At the scale of the Earth , the appropriate scale of the DISTANCE to the other Moon should have been half-way across the sky away from the other Earth . Sure , sometimes the other Moon would appear close to the other Earth , but on average it would be equally very far away . <p> Oh well , making a startling and original image sometimes deviates from physical reality , but then again , Dali and Picasso knew that too . <p> Roger , I enjoy your list but its completely CRIMINAL that you left 50/50 and The Adjustment Bureau off your list . Not even in honorable mentions ? <p> I read your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your biggest fans and share a lot of stuff you write with my family and friends , but I hardly ever leave comments . I had to leave this comment . I am extremely disappointed that you left 50/50 and Adjustment Bureau off . And for that matter , Crazy Stupid Love . <p> I am glad you put Hugo and Take Shelter on your list though . Hugo is my favorite film of the year with 50/50 being second . <p> The reason I love your lists , and your film criticism in general , is you constantly draw my attention to , or back towards , films I may have missed . Everyone has heard about " Hugo " but few have heard of " A Separation " . Film is better off for having people like you drawing much needed attention to underappreciated films . <p> On a day in which I 'm mourning the loss of one of my favorite writers in Christopher Hitchens , I wish to extend you my best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season and new year . And may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for mentioning the film " The Whistleblower " about my sister , Kathy Bolkovac , and her amazing experience as a UN Peacekeeper in Bosnia . This film , along with her unflagging desire to see something done about international sex trafficking atrocities , is truly inspirational . I sincerely hope the film gets more notice and more theater time once lists like yours are reviewed . <p> Most readers complain about most crtics ' lists ... true . When you and Siskel did your lists , I would always make a " better " list by picking and choosing between the two . I 've seen about 20 best movie lists so far , and your list is a good one . I do think Stephen Holden 's list , ten only , is the best I 've seen , almost all wheat , no chaff . Picking more films does leave greater room for disagreement . I think there are two points to these year end best lists : great source for discussions among fans , and a good source for titles we might have overlooked or not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the good work . <p> Dear Mr. Ebert , Thanks for the great list and recommendations . It is very hard to find these films in smaller areas of N. America . Many are limited release movies that do not appear in cinemas in small communities . <p> Here are two small editing suggestions I can offer for clarity . In the review of " Hugo " , I am guessing you meant " so " in front of " magical " in the last part , not " to " . And towards the end of the review of " Le Havre " , did you perhaps mean " Young Idrissa " instead of " Young Marcel " ? <p> Is there anyway to attend Ebertfest 2012 ? Is it the name for a cruise/floating film festival ? Merry Christmas , <p> Pam Reardon Yarmouth , NS <p> Ebert : Errors noted , and thanks . <p> Ebertfest is held every April at the University of Illinois , in Urbana . Here 's a video : <p> " The Tree of Life " is tops for me thus far @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ characters have left the realm of time , " it makes me wonder if in writing that you 're more or less teasing what the ending features rather than spelling out what it really is , or maybe are n't giving the ending its full consideration since the last couple shots ( which seemed to infuriate much of the audience I saw it with ) frame that finale from a different perspective than what you wrote and what many possibly were lead to believe it being ( which I suppose was something akin to what you wrote it to be ) . I thought the simplicity of the last two shots and how it pretty much puts a whole movie into a perspective that probably many were n't prepared for ( at least I was n't ) is cinema at it 's most powerful . <p> Also , " Another Earth " was listed twice--in your top twenty and in the 25 that followed . I 'm not sure if you wanted to edit that by putting in another movie since many are curious by what you omitted . <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Roger . I have been relying on your movie recommendations for over 40 years back to my days in Chicago . Thank you for this wonderful ist of Best Films for 2011 . I love going to the movies and I am surprised that I have only seen 3 of the films on your list . Good for me - I have so many good movies to see now . Thank you again for being a regular part oif my life for so long . <p> How can you complete your best of 2011 list , when there are still excellent films yet to be released . I am thinking of " Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close " as well as " The Iron Lady . " Have you scene these films and are not including them , or do you have other criteria for completing your list a few weeks before years end ? <p> As a follow up to comment about how you will put movies with 3.5 stars on your top ten but leave movies with 4 stars off , I 'm just curious what factors influence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resonate with you for a longer period of time by coming up more in conversation with others or in articles online ? <p> When it comes to lists , I like what the Oscars have done this year by not setting a particular number of Best Picture nominees but allowing for an adaptable amount depending on demand for that year . I hate rankings myself and especially forcing a top ten or top 20 ( how often do I preferences come out to exactly 10 or exactly 20 films ? ) so I vote for next year , just name your Best Picture of the year and then group the rest in tiers . Ranking each film can get messy in my opinion and it seems to degrade the art form a bit . <p> With lists , you might LOVE your top 6 but then experience a drop off in your passion for #7 and #8 . But nobody would get that out of the list because they are all spaced evenly . I feel it 's more natural to group lists together . <p> For instance in 2011 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Social Network ( you always to have to pick the one movie that stands above the rest ) <p> By coincidence this aligned with the Academy 's 10 picks but my directing choices would have been different <p> And depending on the year , you could have two films in a given tier or you could have 6 or more . For me this is a more natural and less tedious method ( not to mention less controversial ) way of listing films . <p> Ebert : Less controversial ? The year I did it alphabetically all hell broke loose . As for star ratings , as I have often written , they 're silly , useless , and relative , not absolute . <p> This is an excellent list . I particularly like how you acknowledge both mainstream and independent films . One of the best films I saw this year was ' ' Nostalgia for the Light ' ' by the director Patricio Guzman , who made the political documentary ' ' The Pinochet Case . ' ' It is about astronomers in the Atacama Desert . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interest in science . All the best . Kevin <p> Thanks for your thoughtful list . To date , I have seen a quarter of your top 20 films . <p> I prefer seeing a film before I read critical reviews . However , if I am unsure about spending the money to see a film in a theater here in NYC , I will read your review beforehand because , of the film critics I do read , I most trust your opinion . After seeing a film , I always read your and others ' reviews to augment my knowledge and filmic experience . <p> Thanks so much , <p> Howard <p> P.S. Notice that the film " Another Earth " appears both as the 20th entry ( preference listing ) in your " top 20 films " and the second entry ( alphabetic listing ) in your " other excellent films " of 2011 . <p> Best Old Movies I Found : Time After Time ( 1979 ) -- Malcolm McDowell 's best performance was here , not A Clockwork Orange . The Hill ( 1965 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ truly hardcore POW camp movie that would be still perceived as brutally hardcore if made today . Breakin ' 2 : Electric Boogaloo ( 1984 ) -- the most ridiculously wonderful breakdance movie ever made . Goofy and blissfully dumb . <p> All of Roger 's choices -- and more importantly -- descriptions and literate breadth of insight are excellent . There are a few I have n't seen . Coincidentally , I saw " Terri " and " Trust " last week and was as completely under their spell as Roger was . Great year for films ! <p> A list of the movies that impressed you this year ? How can that be wrong ? <p> The only complaint I have ... <p> is that the top spot should belong to a movie " written by Roger Ebert . " <p> A movie about the current state of racism in the United States , in Chicago ... a Movie that challenges every belief that your protagonist holds at the start of the movie , and forces him to become an entirely different person . <p> Funny how oftentimes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indie film " like the one 's above can often exceed the quality of " blockbusters " . However , what has n't changed I think is that they fail to even come close to the amount of professional craftsmanship , virtuoso direction , expert acting ( that are so routine and so efficient in mainstream films ) that they are often taken for granted and mistaken for " bad qualities " . <p> Take the movie like Bridesmaids starring Kirsten Wiig . You ca n't look me in the eye and tell me that a student film/indie film can produce the same results as THAT . I 'd like to see average actors ( like the one 's you see in Indie pictures ) attempt to do the performance that Wiig pulled off ( which is a classic comic performance if I do say so ) . Anyone can put a camera in an apartment and a vase and have an ( amateur ) actor talk for five minutes mimicing real life conversations and call it art . However , I 'd like to see them direct an action @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Robin Hood ( with Russell Crowe ) . 1000s of extras , 100,000 's of horses and even more complex special effects ( which employs hundreds upon hundreds of artists , employees and interns ) . Sure they 're different , but it does n't mean one is better than the other . <p> Midnight in Paris is a great movie and its made by a famous director , but it is very slick and does n't feel like a " small movie " . To me , being " small " or " unique " is not enough for something to be considered good . A documentary about young African girls or something or other can be interesting but it has to have a point . Just because something is different does n't make it as good as say : Transformers ( God forbid ) . Hugo is a mainstream children 's blockbuster ( like City of Ember or Bridge of Terabitia for example ) disguised as Scorsese 's art house swan song . The brilliant man still has more stories in him yet , but everyone is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is ( as wonderful as that movie can be ) . <p> Dear Mr. Ebert May I be the first to officially thank you for your end-of-the year list . I eagerly look forward to it at the end of every year . Thank you , also , for doubling the pleasure by doubling the list . I really like the " honorable mentions " as you used to name them . I look forward to seeing some great films now in 2012 . Happy holidays . <p> Roger , It really shouldnt matter if we like your list or not , but I believe its important that every film critic/lover name their top films in order of preference . This list is a picture of what you are thinking and feeling at this particular time and I think that should be preserved . All film lovers know that lists are not set in stone and that all great films are alive , therefore we expect them to change rankings from time to time . Even better , those films that were not on your list can always be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live top 10 lists ! : ) <p> Always looking forward to seeing your top movies for the yr , this year has been a soo soo year for movie going and looking at your list looks like another great list of movies to see at your local art theatre or to rent at your redbox , netflix . Lets hope 2012 is a better yr for the movies . <p> I guarantee ' A Separation ' will not win at the golden globes or even be acknowledged at the oscars ( we all know why , no matter how ' liberal ' hollywood is ) . I would be happy to eat my words if I am wrong , but I do n't think I will be . It should win best picture ( beside best foreign film ) in a perfect world but too bad we do n't live in one . Such a travesty so many great , worthy films of the past that do n't get recognised . <p> Unlike you , I love to make lists . I do n't have any scientific method to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are any kind of religious scriptures . I just like making lists . <p> I also like making lists of my top ten films at the end of the year , and I enjoy ranking them . Of course I see the futility in ranking them . Frequently I look back and wonder why I picked one over the other . <p> I have n't seen as many films as you have , but I have seen quite a few of them . You do usually have a film or two that I did n't like , and I 'm sure if you read mine , the feeling will be mutual . Still , of all the films I 've seen on your list , I did like them . <p> Starting three years ago I started seeing your top movies for the year through Netflix . Then I started adding all the two thumbs up movies . What amazes me is the amount of quality films being produced ; there is so much available my queue is usually over 60 . One day I may watch a Spanish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Eyre.Thank you ; it 's a wonderful experience . One of my favorite movies lately has been A Better Life . I also want to watch Ghost Writer again . <p> " Pretentious bilge " ... That 's a good way of putting it . : ) Even from the previews , it felt like we were going to be getting the **40;1795;TOOLONG ... of an otherwise shallow yuppie who has just discovered Deep Thoughts for the very first time , and wants to leap into them with all the cosmic handwringing of no less than Human Life , The Universe and Everything , rather than just a conversation about the small things ... You know , sort of like the film version of a Roger Ebert blog post . ; ) <p> As for me , I had n't been following The Artist ( for some reason , I saw the Miramax name , and confused it with " The Reader " as Obligatory Oscar-Bait ) , but it certainly merits attention-- Seems to be the tightest rivalry this year for the Best Picture Oscar , and BOTH feel-good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voting faction and the audience . I 've been rooting for Hugo to take the lead ( even if just to have a " real " movie back for Picture front-runner again ) , but The Artist could also pull a last-minute feel-good sweep a la " King 's Speech " ... Which one appears to have the more favorable odds ? ( It 's not going to be the George Clooney one ; he 's been making the same **31;1837;TOOLONG movie , what , SIX years in a row , now ? ) <p> And yes , any early hints on Tintin , or just a pandering " I 'd never heard of the character before , but my goodness , exciting stuff , is n't it ? " <p> I was hoping to see Julia Leigh 's " Sleeping Beauty , " or " The Skin I live In " on your list rather than " Melancholia " - which was the most horridly depressing experience I 've had at the cinema in quite some time , but it is your list after all and you are indeed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . I plan on seeing " Take Shelter " and " The Mill and the Cross " next week as a double feature . I only wish " Shame " was showing near Kalamazoo . The world would be a much better place with more alternative/arthouse theaters . <p> I wanted to like Super 8 , but ca n't like a film where the U.S. Air Force is the villan . Not as a USAF veteran . I ca n't have been alone in that , can I ? I did n't see a single critic take note of that fact or be bothered by that fact . <p> Anyway , looking for films on your list on On Demand . <p> Last : I thoroughly enjoyed " Life , Above All " and the Q &A; after at EbertFest . Click on my name for my review of that experience . <p> I wonder if I 'm losing my taste in film ? Why are n't many in this list truly connecting with me , despite their being excellent films ? Granted , I have n't seen perhaps half @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Alvin &; the Chipmunks dominates . But of those I 've seen : <p> Hugo : I thought it was boring and if it were n't for the performance of Kingsley , I would have walked out . <p> Another Earth : I liked the film , but ca n't rave about it . <p> Melancholia : LVTs best since Breaking the Waves . Still , it 's somewhat soul-less and if it were n't for the planet spectacle it would be too miserable to watch . <p> Tree of Life : Different but I could n't watch it a second time <p> Take Shelter--Agree , although it did n't blow me away as much as A Brilliant Mind . <p> Midnight in Paris : I 'm going to try to give this film a shot , but I 've had a problem relating to Woody Allen since the Mia Farrow thing . <p> MMMM--Again a good film , but I do n't think I 'd watch it a second time . <p> The only film on this list that I got truly excited about when it opened was DRIVE @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ presentation--and worked in unexpected ways . <p> I also enjoyed THE SKIN I LIVE IN in some perverted , twisted way . <p> I , too , loved SOURCE CODE . <p> Would any of these films on your 2011 list , Roger , make it to your best ever list ? <p> Hey Roger , This is a great list . All of these are great movies . But I 'm Iranian so I was more specifically interested in your first choice . You know , " A Separation " is a really big deal here in Iran . These days Iranians are re-sharing this list over and over on Facebook and cheering over it ! When I first watched the film in Iran , I really liked it . Hell , I loved it ! I thought it portrayed the middle class Iranian family in a way that no other movie has ever done . But just like you said , I felt like it was very very Iranian . So I never thought it would be able to connect to a non-Iranian audience as much . I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is specifically Iranian , but I believe the more specific a film is about human experience , the more universal it is . On the other hand , movies " for everybody " seem to be for nobody in particular . " . That 's clever . And since this movie is now #80 on imdb 's top 250 of all time , so I guess what you 're saying is true . Despite the very Iranian material , it actually is universal . But just one question . How do you see the chances of this movie being nominated or winning an academy award ? <p> And one more thing . I like how you have included more independent movies on the list this year . Those are the movies that not everybody has seen or even heard of . But like you said , those are the ones that are actually worth ordering . <p> I do n't want to tell you what to do but this is exactly why I think that my concept is better by selecting your best movie of the year and his top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ask you that but how much better was ' ' Margaret ' ' than ' ' Martha Marcy May Marlene ' ' ? <p> For the others movies we always have your weekly reviews to know if you did like them or not . And what was your opinion on them . <p> Seriously , and happily , as a fellow movie critic , I 've seen all of those you consider the best for this year . It 's a superb list . Early-on in my movie reviewing career , I did create top ten lists , but I stopped . I never wanted to do them , and I do n't believe in them . It was requested of me by my print , television , and radio bosses . I now do a Best Of The Year . It could contain a dozen movies or less , two dozen films or more , or in between . Last year there were 31 movies that meant something to me . This may seem like a lot , but it 's only 10% of the total number of movies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ films each year . <p> I always explain that my best are my favorites because they stood out for any number of reasons : A movie can make my list for a variety of reasons : because of overall excellence , acting , cinematography , directing , writing , courage in addressing a specific theme , or a combination of elements . Perhaps the picture said something to me or showed me something with which I was n't familiar . <p> Movies are not contestants in a beauty pageant . Each film stands alone , and each film can deliver a special ingredient in the grand tradition that continues to make motion pictures magical . <p> Twenty is better than ten . Great list of films that encompasses a wide variety release this year . The one film I really loved that did n't make your list or honorable mentions was the Korean film ' Poetry ' . If you have n't seen it please do . <p> I wish that we could get away with the " best of ( pick a number ) " thing altogether . In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would not want to have to pick a 10-best list for the year 1939 , for example . <p> Why ca n't we just allow critics to list the films of any given year that , in their opinion , will stand the test of time ? After all , that 's what makes a classic film , at least in my opinion . What films will people want to watch 10 , 20 , or 50 years in the future ? <p> To me , the only numbered list that I 've ever seen that makes any sense to me is " 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die . " I can deal with that . Feature films have been around for slightly more than 100 years , so this averages out to about 10 movies per year , but the author had the good sense to make no attempt to rank them or limit the list to 10 movies per year . <p> Mr ebert This is the first time that Im visiting your page And Im so proud to see a seperation ( actuly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and simin ) is at the top of your list . May I recommend you to see majid majidis movies too if you have not seen them already . And may I ask you somthing ? Do you think a seperation would win GG or oscar ? ? And also why ispaul not on your list ? Its a so different comedy movie that I have ever seen <p> As I 've been looking at the end-of-the-year lists , I 'm so glad to see Drive is getting some love . Both Richard Roeper and Peter Travers have it listed as number 1 . I can remember watching it at my local cineplex . The first 10 minutes were stunning , engaging and I knew that I would love the movie . By the time the end credits rolled , I knew it would be the best film I 'd see this year . <p> My question for you is , have you ever said , in the middle of watching a film , ' This is the best film of the year . ' ' No matter what else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> And I agree : star ratings are trivial . Its hard to write a review and side with a star rating , when you do n't know what will stay with you weeks after you 've left the theater . I still have Midnight in Paris in my head , and I saw it in July . <p> excuse me for my previous comment . I recommend you to watch About Elly ... and Fireworks wednesday . These three films make Farhadi 's Trilogy . The Trilogy of Lies . They are all great . Especially About Elly ... <p> I said a few months ago that you would pick " Tree of Life " as your number one pick , and possibly number two ( for those who are n't sure , it was number 3 ) . I was only off by one . But technically , since those two movies had n't come out yet , I was right at the time . <p> Enjoy the list . I only wish " A Separation " would be released in Chicago prior to Jan. 27 of 2012 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you or has anyone seen Brit Marling 's other film from this year , " Sound of My Voice " ? I have not , but I 've heard great things about it . I 'd also like to throw in as an honorable mention " The Trip " and another Steve Coogan film ( small part ) , " Our Idiot Brother . " Mainly ' cause I just watched it last night and I 'm an idiot . Cheers ! <p> I know you do n't like to make lists , but we--your loyal public--appreciate them immensely . Especially those like me : cinephiles with OCD who feel compelled to make a list to compare to yours . Fortunately , there 's flickchart.com to help take some of the work out of making the list . You and I have several points of agreement ( keeping in mind that " A Separation " , " Kinyarwanda " , " The Artist " and the American remake of " The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo " have not been widely released just yet ) : <p> There are , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I did n't care for ( two of which I actually hated ) : <p> " Melancholia " your # 11 - although it 's well-acted and certainly the best-looking film Von Trier has ever made ( Kirsten Dunst basking in the glow of the new planet is the best non-erotic use of the female nude ever comitted to film ) , it 's still the same old Von Trier formula of unlikable people treating each other abominably . " Another Earth " your #20 - The second worst film I saw all year ( only just barely beating out " Sanctum " ) . Like Melancholia , the visuals are nice , but that 's really all it has going for it . Easily the most intellectually pretentious movie of the year . How 's this for a film : a high school senior gets drunk at a party , gets in her car and crashes into an accountant 's family ; then spends the next few years trying to make it up to the accountant . No nonsense about parallel planets , no Ivy league professorships , no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more compelling drama . " Beginners " you gave honorable mention - My third least favorite of the year after " Sactum " and " Another Earth " . Certainly well-cast . I liked the idea of someone coming out at the end of life . But the focus and POV of the film is Ewan MacGregor 's character , a self-obsessed , pretentious artist who equates misery with intellectual depth . This movie is for people in their 40 's who still have Morrisey posters over their beds . Ewan MacGregor and I are the same age , and most of our peers have replaced those posters with pictures of their **34;1870;TOOLONG . " The Help " you gave honorable mention - The book was a reasonably realistic ( if somewhat sanitized ) portrait of race relations and how Southerners who pride themselves on their refined manners treat each other when they do n't necessarily like each other ( coming from a southern family , I could relate ) . However , somewehere along the line , some Yankee Hollywood type decided that politesse and simmering passive aggression would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ refined ladies of Jackson were transformed into brassy , sassy , foul-mouthed cartoon rednecks . <p> There were also two films that made my top 20 that you gave thumbs-down reviews to : " X-Men : First Class " my #12 - This could 've been awful . But the bravura performance of Michael Fassbender as an emotionally tortured Holocaust survivor put this one over the top . And the script I thought was a very good and subtle moral prod : when we choose to deny rights to people we do n't like or consider inferior ( i.e. gays , immigrants , Muslims , college students , the poor ) , we become no better than the the Nazis . " Tower Heist " my # 20 - Not a great film by any stretch of the imagination , but it requires you to think in order to keep up with the plot ( unlike MI : Ghost Protocol , which you gave honorable mention ) . <p> My name 's Matt . I really enjoy reading your articles and blogs . Quite inspiring at times . I recently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted to read your review of it but I have been unable to find it . I would very much like to hear your opinion on it . <p> Thank you sir , I appreciate your list very much ! I 've added this to my favorites and will look forward to finding these films . I have n't heard of a lot of them , but have seen Driver and The Tree of Life , which I admired because of its expression of the sacred . I loved Midnight in Paris too , I 'm one of those people who wishes they lived in another time . : ) <p> Just kidding . Another excellent list . Not that I was surprised , but I was extremely happy to see " Hugo " so high up . It 's a movie I was excited to see , which I then became skeptical of after the first twenty minutes or so , fearing that it might be a great technical achievement but little else - but by the end I was nearly moved to tears . It 's a movie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . <p> " Midnight in Paris " I found utterly charming , and for me was probably the most purely pleasurable movie of the year . I walked out of the theater with a big , goofy smile on my face , and it still comes back whenever I think of it . <p> One movie that I really loved that I have n't seen on too many ' best of ' lists was " 50/50 . " I went in expecting to like it , but was caught off guard by how moved I was by the end . Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt make for a winning pair , and Anna Kendrick is so damn likable , that you ca n't help but become invested in their lives and troubles . There are only two movies this year that I saw in theaters twice , and this was one of them . <p> The other film I saw twice in theaters , and my favorite movie of the year , was " Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 2 . " The first time I enjoyed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just were n't any fist pump moments for me . I wanted Harry to kick ass and take names ! Even the brief triumphs were weighed down by tragedy . The second time I saw it I found it incredibly powerful for that very same reason . It may sound naive to compare the film to real life , but it felt very much like a real war to me - messy , violent , scary - with the best that can come from it being a sigh of relief that it 's over , rather than any sense of triumph or celebration . There 's too much loss in a real war for that , and that 's something I thought the movie realized beautifully . <p> Not that this post is n't already long enough , but there 's one other film I want to mention : " The Dilemma . " It got uniformly negative reviews and seems to have been swept under the rug of cinematic history - surprising considering it starred two A-listers and had a high profile director in Ron Howard . The admittedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a crass , witless buddy comedy . But this was an excellent film . It was messy , dark , funny , surprising ; it was about real , genuinely flawed people navigating a thorny issue . The cast was terrific , especially Vince Vaughn . It deserved much better . <p> And on a final note ( I swear ! ) : I 'm really happy to hear " Terri " has been invited to Ebertfest 2012 . I 've wanted to see that for a while now . <p> Serious question Mr. Ebert . I always guide myself by what your movie reviews say , not what rating you assign to each one since one can actually tell how much you enjoyed a film by certain words and phrases you employ in your reviews . Which is why I got ta ask if you felt I do n't want to say pressured , but maybe obligated ? to add " The Help " to your Best Of list just because it received several Globes noms and was included in a few other critics Best Of lists . Your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't near as ecstatic as your say for example Super 8 review ... <p> My favorite movie watched and made in 2011 would have to be " The King 's Speech " . That wonderful scene , supported by Beethoven 's 7th Symphony , simply soared off the screen . Real expert film making there . A wonderful movie . <p> My favorite movie , watched in 2011 but made in earlier years , would have to be " A Prophet " . Probably the best prison movie I 've ever seen . So authentic . The subtle , yet powerful use of the ghost was wonderfully done . <p> Action films such as Tropa de Elite 2 ( Elite Squad 2 ) , King of Devil 's Island , Red State , Hanna , Bellflower and action/comedy/sci-fi Attack the Block deserved to be on that list . Perhaps the best film of the year was 13 Assassins , the closest thing we have to a modern 7 Samurai ... Perhaps your greatest error was ranking The Last Rites of Joe May so low . It was an awesome performance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least a Golden Globe if enough people will see it . I do think Mr. Ebert that you place comedy , action , horror and Science Fiction on a lower shelf . I also love character development and dramatic stories but films come in all different stripes ... In many ways this is one of the best years in film for a long long time . It is shameful for you to list Harry Potter in a top twenty list , come on , it was utter garbage . <p> I do n't comment often because I prefer to sit and think about the things I read , something the internet abhors but which your blog is made for . By the time I 'm done thinking , my comment would be more like an article . <p> However , everything on the list that was n't already on my to-see list has just gotten a spot . You sold me on Synedoche , New York , wowing me ( and incidentally making me the only person in my orbit who will ever see it . <p> Sadly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here . I have actually been told by a friend they would rather go to the theater for " spectacle " , regardless of quality . To that end , things like Hugo , Shame and Tree of Life are on the list , but I may have to give up and go by myself . <p> I do n't mind it , but it 's nice to be able to have a conversation about a movie when it 's over . <p> I disagree with you about Melancholia . Though maybe what you say is what the director inteneded . But I do n't think it 's about people who " switch " personalities . Rather it 's , I think , really about how only if you 've got nothing to live for does the end of the world bring happiness . Of course the loving parent of a small child with a good life would come unhinged at the knowledge that the world were about to end , and the woman who ca n't overcome her depression because hey " what 's there to be happy about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . That 's not an exchange of personalities . And though perhaps the ( if you ask me ) psycholigically sick Van Trier may not see it himself , it 's proof that only the crazy can think the end of the world is a beautiful thing . <p> Always love seeing your year-end lists , and I think for the third year in a row I agree with your #1 pick . Just watched it myself and was totally amazed . In fact , all of my favorites from this year are on here , and I ca n't wait to watch the rest of them ! <p> I am very glad to know that " A Separation " is at the top of your list , Roger . The movie was released in South Korea in October , and it received lots of positive responses from both the local critics and audiences . I was a little sleepy when I watched it at the local arthouse theater , but it was great to watch this wonderful film which may be placed around the top of my list to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ At present , I am currently juggling it with other movies including " The Tree of Life " and " Drive " to decide how I will arrange them in the list . I know that this is really meaningless because I like them all , though I have to admit that I prefer some of them a little more . <p> I 'd love to see " Hugo " , " Take Shelter " , " Shame " , " The Artist " , " The Descendants " , and " Kinyarwanda " . I will watch them soon as usual , but it is a little sad that I can not mention them in my list because I have not seen them yet . <p> By the way , thank you very much for recommending " Life , Above All " . I have been interested in that film since I heard about it from you , and it did not disappoint me when I saw it around this October . It was one of the best films I have seen during this year . <p> Having just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well crafted in the sense of Fargo , but hardly in the class of Rashomon or about anything so abstruse like the truth . Through a well told tale rich in specifics , it conveys a feel of modern Iran . No match for Kiarostami in humanism and delicacy . <p> Reply to : when we choose to deny rights to people we do n't like or consider inferior ( i.e. gays , immigrants , Muslims , college students , the poor ) , we become no better than the the Nazis . <p> Trite . Not true . <p> I saw Jerry Sandusky walking into a courthouse . Joe Paterno was fired from his job without any due process . The university did n't want to be associated with , or tolerate , grown men having sex with children in locker room showers . Or using a phony charity to groom boys for an approach . ( See our previous discussion of the priest 's guilt in " Doubt . " ) <p> You 're not denying any rights when you insist on the freedom to speak out against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Life . I tried to watch it but it got so confusing and jumped all over the place . I eventually just turned it off . Rise of the Planet of the Apes should have made the cut . It was the best movie I saw all year . <p> I saw The Artist at the Telluride Film Festival . Everyone was talking about The Artist . I think it 's going to be the surprise of the Oscars . Unfortunately , I did n't get to see A Separation at TFF but will look for it when it comes to town . <p> Love your list but Tree of Life did n't resonate with me as unusual films usually do . <p> This list infuriates me . Not because I disagree with your choices but because I live in a town with 2 giant multiplexes and NONE of those films have been here . <p> I read your reviews every week and always find something I 'd like to see and it is never showing in my stupid town . The two multiplexes grant 4 screens each to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ screen for " The Descendants . " <p> Thanks again for exposing me to excellent movies I would not have seen otherwise . I plan on seeing " Take Shelter " this week , and I ca n't wait . I watched " Young Adult " Saturday , and again Sunday because I was n't quite sure how I felt about it during the first viewing ... I appreciated it more the second time , and it is one of the better movies I 've seen this year , for the performances , especially that of Patton Oswalt . <p> I appreciate you making these lists , but I feel as though you did this one to early . Did you see the other films that will be released later this month ? Did you see " We Bought a Zoo " , " War Horse " , " In The Land of blood and Honey " , or " Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close " ? Those all look like very good movies . <p> Ebert : Yes , it was a week early . That was because of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Of you 've noticed , I 've added more titles in the list at the bottom . As I say , " There were many other excellent films in 2011 , some fully the equal of some of these . <p> There 's a difference between acts by private citizens , and acts by government . <p> When a government tries to silence you , it can do so effectively . It can levy enormous fines on TV networks , forcing them to obey federal regulations about broadcast standards . <p> But private citizens are a different matter . In a free country , individuals have the right to think , and not to have follow " politically correct " rules . <p> If a private American citizen wants to show prejudice against gays , or immigaants , or people who voluntarily belong to a religion , we have that right . It does n't make us Nazis to use our brains . <p> On an ABC program " What Would You Do , " the producers staged a restaurant where the owners refused to serve Muslims , to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said , " If a man has his own business , he should be able to decide whether he wants to serve Muslims . " And others disagreed . There are federal laws that forbid a business to discriminate against religious groups . The question was , if a man opens a restarant , should he lose the right to dislike certain people ? Or , should " political correctness " be used to make us like everyone ? <p> Private individuals - like me -- have to be able to think , research and hold opinions . Because we are NOT government . One of our important freedoms is the right to speak out against laws we disagree with . <p> When it comes to private individuals holding personal opinions , in America , ... I will sit down and explain why your opinions are wrong , and my opinions are correct , and just because a dimwit like Tim " Jesus is my best friend " does n't understand that his religious beliefs are all false , that the stories about Jesus are actually lies to make Jesus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate proclaimed Julkus Caesar and other Roman Emperors gods ... there are frauds , cons , and liars out there . I know they are lyhing , and I 'm not going to be quite because someone like Tim Tebow has a " belief . " <p> Let 's get back to " A Separation . " Why does this woman want to immigrate to another country ? The government tries to control her . Make her wear a head covering ... threatens to put her in prison if she does n't cover her hair in public . The reasons why she wants to leave ... the filmmaker could n't spell it out because Islam is so ingrained in their society , it 's hard to imagine how things would be different without it . But , it 's so bad , the only way to live a fulfilling life is to get out and go somewhere else . <p> " A Separation " is successful ... because it shows people in a society that have lost the freedom to think , to hold opinions that do n't agree with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and become a Christian , they can be killed . A political system that abuses power in that way ... and that 's what modern Islam is evolving into , a political system that uses terror against their own people ... a movie like " A Separation " is trying to make us understand why it 's bad . And why it ' s okay to speak out against such abuse of individual rights . <p> There 's a reason why " A Separation " is at the top of the list ... it 's trying to say something important . And the message is not clear , because ( a ) they do n't really understand that Islam is the problem , not an individual country and ( b ) if they made it too clear , the filmmakers could be arrested and convicted for " insulting Islam . " In Muslim countries , that 's a criminal act that carries the death penalty , because that 's the only effective way to keep human beings from thinking . <p> Well Roger , I must admit I was wrong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fun and exciting it would be to be the most revered and renowned film critic of all time . I 'm sure you enjoy your profession immensely , but it 's the ridiculous amount of two cents that you 're flooded with from the general public that must drive you mad sometimes . I seems as if you 're constantly on the defense . I 'm amazed you actually take the time to read half of these comments . As for your list , I am very excited to watch and critique them for myself . I have roughly forty-two movies to throw in my queue . I was extremely pleased after watching " The Princess of Montpensier " and " Queen to Play " . Thank you for those recommendations . And thank you for this list ; we all appreciate it even though it may not seem like it . <p> Wow . Looking at your list , Roger , makes me realize how much I 'm missing out on by having to wait and see movies in Atlanta ( usually not until January or later ... @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on your list , there was n't a one of the films I have seen where I did a double take . <p> My own Top 10 are still in flux . ( I 'm hoping to see more between now and New Year 's . ) But for now , here are my best ( and favorite ) films of the year . <p> Ebert : As for star ratings , as I have often written , they 're silly , useless , and relative , not absolute . <p> You keep complaining about this . So why not just ditch the star rating system altogether ? It would certainly save you a lot of headaches from observant readers who require constistency . I know speaking for myself , I would rather do without them . I prefer to read a movie review fresh and focus more on what a critic is trying to say about a movie rather then seeing how well he or she justifies the rating given beforehand . <p> Ebert : I had the Sun-Times convinced to do that and then Siskel was made film @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for " competitive reasons . " <p> I really enjoyed your list , and you 're right , it is all subjective to each moviegoer . First , I must thank you and Mr. Siskel for all you have contributed other the years to my love for film . I first began watching ( and admiring ) your work on PBS 's " At The Movies . " The both of you enriched my cinematic life with such gems as " Going Places " and " Breaking The Waves " among others . I must say there were a couple of surprises on your list , mostly in regards to placement . I thought that " Tree of Life " would be first with " Hugo " in the second position . Both films I consider to be masterworks from two masters . I found " Hugo " to be an instant classic and brilliant storytelling by Scorcese , it was both a mainstream movie , entertaining and whimsical , and a history lesson in cinema 's humble beginnings . I never felt like I was being lectured or learning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . It was not what I expected . I really enjoyed The Descendants , Another Earth , Trust . I was somewhat hesitant with Drive . As always , I will make it my business to see those I missed . Please continue with your lists Mr. Ebert because over the years I have come to trust you above all others . Merry Christmas to you and yours , and I look forward to your Oscar picks . <p> I 'm a huge fan , but I disagree about with you about lists and star ratings . By marking a movie four stars or ( especially ) by putting it on a best movies list , you ensure that those movies will not be forgotten in 10 years or 15 or 20 . Movies slip through the cracks and no one is going to go back through every review any reviewer has ever written to see what great , life-changing films they might have missed . Making a list of the year 's best films is important . You are saying to some person in 2020 that these films are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them that if you only have time to see 5 movies the first 5 are ( in your opinion ) more worthy of their time . <p> I also like top 100 lists . The oscars ignore foreign films , and often ignore the best movies ( ie Do the Right Thing ) , and the Golden Globes and other Awards are suspect . I ca n't see every movie that anyone I know says is good . I go to a top 100 list , I compare it to other lists , I see the movies that show up a lot , I see a composite of what are considered the best movies , I spend my ( limited ) free time well . Maybe if people listened to you and they started giving a Pulitzer Prize for film my life would be easier ! <p> I liked your list , but I did n't feel like you offered much of an explanation as to why most of these films are on here . For the most part , it felt like a bunch of plot synopsis and not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instance , in your review for Martha Marcy May Marlene , you describe the origins of each of her names and remark on the confusion experienced returning to life outside of a cult . The only subjective part seemed to be your comment on both Olsen and Hawkes effectively playing their roles . <p> I enjoyed that film , as well as the majority of the films on your list , with the exception of Trust I suppose . I did n't feel like I got enough of an explanation behind your choices , but from the looks of it , many were very pleased with your list so maybe I 'm addressing something unimportant or nonexistent . You said you do n't like making lists and maybe it has something to do with that . <p> Negative reviews of ' Tree of Life ' smack of philistinism ? Because we do n't get it ? Oh , I think we get it , especially considering the entire theme was spoonfed to us in the trailer ! ( I still have the bruise on my head . ) I have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , " beatification " - of a mother in a film . And thematically speaking , the only thing that would have made the film any LESS subtle would be inclusion of the Baby Jesus at the end ... For a film that matches ' Tree of Life ' in terms of visuals , but TRULY challenges the viewer thematically , I strongly recommend ' Melancholia ' . <p> I remember you writing about the Iranian movie The Color of Paradise , and how you saw a distinctive similarity between it and Italian neorealism . It almost seems like cinema 's nourishment is the rebellion and upheaval associated with a culture which is experiencing modernity for the first time . No longer faced with having to represent on screen an eternal Qur ' -anic figure , Iranians now have access to an outlet in film which is able to express their individual and national identity without that character being tainted by globalism and the possible rigid standards that go along with it . It 's feasible that one of these years your favorite movie will be from Afghanistan , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mr.Ebert as much as I respect your opinion , I must say you have one movie missing , that I personally think should be there ; Moneyball Although I am not a fan of baseball , I do n't play baseball , I don ' know anything about baseball , but I found this movie to be one of these movies , that in this day where almost all movies are commercial , this one was commercial , but also , " a good film " <p> So glad you added " Trust " .. it was one of the most underrated film of the year . <p> On seeing your original 3.5 rated review of HP:deathly hallows 2 i thought , u actually did n't liked it so much like all others raved.In fact I never felt like it was one of best of the year . For me it stands behind the first 3 in the series . Now since " u " added it to the list I think I may need to watch it once more . ------- if you see this comment <p> there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reviews.but still i " love " them because of the fact that you make your points so clear .. The only time I was " disappointed " by your review was of " The Green Mile " . It surely deserved 4* from you ( Though u said stars are relative ) ------- Stars maybe relative and silly but they are not " useless " given the fact that mostly a review is intended to cater to all cinema going audience ( and not just film buffs ) who many a times look for reviews just to see if it is worth their penny and may not feel like reading a whole page . As for those who do n't use star rating ( like David Edelstein ) i sometimes do n't get whether they liked it or not .. even " ROTTENTOMATOES " seems like bit confused on that ; ) <p> Here 's a question I have about your list . I 'm not here to argue about your choices and what I would replace or how the numbers are wrong or any of that nonsense . It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it 's probably the one I agree with most thus far . <p> However , this year and last I 've noticed a lot of 3.5 star films creeping into your list . I know what you 're thinking : good God another person getting picky about the ratings . Nope , I care about as much about rating as yourself . But then I remember reading your logic once . You say you save the 4 star rating for those special films that give you a tingle in the bottom of your spine . I do the same . <p> That being said , with some 4 star movies being delegated to your honorable mentions sections ( Rango for example ) , it 's strange to me why several films would make it into the top 20 that did n't give you your special 4 star tingle over several that did . <p> I 'm sure " The Separation " is a magnificent film . But I must wonder why you chose to put it on top of the list THIS year instead of holding it to next year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chicago until the end of January ( so not technically a film from 2011 ) . I know part of the reason you placed it was because of the Academy Awards , but would n't it make more sense to wait until after the film is on DVD so that it could reach the widest amount of filmgoers ? How many people will still remember this list at the end of January ? <p> Yeah , Win Win is a great film , one of the year 's top 20 for sure . Tom McCarthy is a marvel : three movies in a row--The Station Agent , The Visitor , and now Win Win--and not a dog in the bunch . And he has revisited the same theme ( different peoples/worldviews reconciled ) while keeping it fresh . A humane filmmaker with a good ear and a way with actors . <p> In re : the just-under-the-wire reviews of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Tintin : <p> - I wonder if you 're aware of any of the following : - The original Swedish movies we saw here this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which has just become available on DVD here in the USA . The box advertises " more than two full hours of footage never before seen in the USA ! " This brings the running time to nine hours , give or take . Think you 'll be putting this on your Netflix queue ? <p> - Since you 're reading the books , did you know that Eva Gabrielsson ( Stieg Larsson 's significant other and unofficial collaborator on the novels ) disapproves of the extant English translations ? She says the English versions are " too toned-down " , that they 've been sort of cleaned up for the GB-US reading public . So if a new , " hotter " translation comes along in a year or so , will you be reading that ? <p> - As for Tintin : Of the reviews I 've read so far , yours is the one and only rave . Do you suppose that might be because you 're more familiar with the source material ( and in French yet ) ? I think I mentioned this before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Adventures Of Herge , a biography of the artist done in the style of a Tintin album . You might want to look into that ... <p> The foregoing is a severe abridgment of a longer comment that was eaten by this oedipusrexing mechanism of yours . Too bad . The original was one of my better ones . <p> This list is a failure . Not a single movie including films from China , India , Japan , South Korea or SE Asia . That 's more than half the world 's population . This should be re titled : top 10 movies in Ebert 's Universe , where two worlds exist . I wo n't even bother to enlighten you on some of the good one 's out there . Mr. Ebert , your lists sucks ! <p> I am ashamed to admit that for the first time ever ( since the beginning of your annual lists ) I do n't know all the movies you 're talking about . What a tragedy ! I got lazy this year I guess D : Anyways I just wanted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tree of Life . One of the worst movies I 'd seen in a while . I felt like it was a disfigured baby or something . So ugly that I felt pity . <p> I liked most of the movies you listed ( that I 've seen ) with the exception of Melancholia , I though it was pretty awful , it aspired to be a lot more than it was , but it seriously could have been half the length and still have driven all the points exactly to where they needed to be . I liked the Planet graphics very much , not over done nor exploitative of CGI for the shock value . <p> I found much of the dialogue was pretty over dramatic and the length of every shot , every scene , twice what it needed to be . I fell asleep TWICE for what seemed like more than just a few minutes and each time I woke up praying we were near the end , to no avail , it was not even close to the end . <p> I loved Tree of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of weird and hokey . I enjoyed it 's minimalist Dialogue and outstanding cinematography <p> I appreciate your list this year . My personal favorites of 2011 include ( somewhat in order of preference ) Melancholia , Another Earth , The Tree of Life , Drive , Trust , and Hugo . <p> I just got back from a screening of " The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo . " While I of course have n't seen all the films in your top 20 , I 'd argue that TGWTDT deserves a place somewhere higher than honorable mention . On a side note , I feel Rooney Mara 's portrayal of Lisbeth was so inspired , it would be a tragedy to me if she was n't nominated for , or the winner of , Best Actress at the Oscars . Thanks , Chris <p> Ebert : Liked it , but did n't Noomi Rapace steal a little of her thunder ? <p> I found the star rating considerably useful in helping to eliminate many films at the most preliminary stage even saving the time spent on reading the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a precise measurement and leave room for subjectivity . Possibly more useful in the low than high rated movies . <p> I agree a lot about your assessment of " Shame " ( that you had gotten right what it was trying to say ) except that I felt it was superficial and inspiring judgement in the audience ( if not judged by the filmmakers themselves ) . I 'm getting a little tired of movies ( or maybe just the " serious " ones ) , mostly indie movies I think , that just show the surfaces as if that is all that needs to be said ; a kind of elbowing to the audience 's arm , such as showing the guy looking at porn0 at work , m@sturbating in the bathroom at work etc. ( you kind of feel there is a little elbowing going on there ) . Also , the movie felt like it was more about a guy on auto-pilot , or more about the fact he and these people Could do all that stuff rather than that they did . For instance , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that there 's no point for any kind of connection between two people enough for them to keep seeing each other and she says " Are you serious ? " Apparently , he was . So , it 's kind of hard for me to believe that lonely stuff when he really seems to believe that . Also , kind of hard for me to believe that she would sleep with him after that ( seeming to be a woman where real relationships were non-negotiable ) . Okay , but apparently she was going to try to test his " realness " in bed ( which also did n't really seem believable ) , and that 's when he backed off ... a second time ... and sat with his head down . So , it seems more about how these people Could do this stuff than that they did . It seemed like they would n't , but then , no wait , yeah , they could have . Crying during sex . Why 's that going to stop him ? And it 's not stopping the women he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " ... it did n't earn those moments that it tried to have , although I did like the kind of hand-held style shooting of the first movement and it was pretty good with editing a bunch of stuff together . Art is the illusion of spontaneity . And to me , bad art is kind of defined by how it thinks that spontaneity is constant ; but spontaneity would n't be spontaneity if it were constant . Like with P0rnos , they do n't even try to have a story ; it 's like " Here 's your pizza you ordered , and yet we 're not screwing . " That 's kind of what " Tree of Life " did ; it was like " Here 's my life , and yet we 're not seeing it on a universal scale . " <p> I am from India and as far as I know there was no film from India to be added to the list .. This years submission to Oscar ( by India ) for best foreign language film was from my place and i am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ list .. Ebert is the only international critic who seems to appreciate films from places you mentioned.In fact his " Great Movies " has Titles by Satyajit Ray , Santosh Sivan etc .. and has also very positively reviewed films from Japan and Korea .. And I do n't think Asian films are as widely shown there as European and American films .. So we cant ask him to list films to which he has no access . <p> Due to your list , I purchased A Seperation online ( I live in Ireland where it has already played ) . Star ratings and lists do n't really matter . Getting people to see this brilliant film does . Thank you so much . <p> Ebert : In this country it was an obscure choice , so I was pleased that the response here has been so favorable . Not a single demur . <p> Just like a lot of people here , I heard about your #1 pick through your list , and I loved it ! Great pick ! <p> On to movies that did n't make it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a day " which I think is being criminally over-looked by many critics , but I see that it was n't reviewed on your site , so maybe you have n't had the chance to see it yet ? It was a nice filmmaking experiment , getting people all over the world to contribute footage of what their day is like , and compiling it all into a 90 minute time capsule , and I think it was one of the best editing jobs I 've ever seen in a movie . <p> It 's so well put together , and very few movies resonated with me emotionally more than this one . Despite many sad moments , the ending left me with one of the most uplifting , life affirming feelings I 've had in a long time . This movie just truly captures what it is to be human , and despite showing such a wide range of like from the richest to the poorest person , it 's all about the interconnectedness of us all . <p> I do n't know if you 've had the chance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Also on another note , I know this is pretty old now and I wish I brought it up earlier , but any chance we 'll get to see a review of Mary &; Max from you ? I think it 'd be a good entry at Ebertfest . <p> Mr. Ebert , Just a simple thanks for your most enjoyable list and a greater first-time thanks for all you 've shared in the different stages of your career . For me , many hours in each of many years of enjoyment , entertainment and education in reading your writing and watching your shows . Thank you ! Steve <p> As usual , a wonderful list that makes me want to seek out what I had n't heard of before . The only question I have concerns " Margaret . " Did it ever open in Chicago ? As I 've been chomping at the bit for Kenneth Lonergan 's second film , I was dying to read your review of it but one was never published . <p> Since other people are posting their lists , thought I might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some criminally over-looked movies on my list and if I can bring some of them to at least one person 's attention , then I 'm happy with the short period of time I spent replying to this blog with my list . I wonder if Roger will think I way over-rated my pick for #2 , but it 's the most fun detective movie I can think of . <p> A Separation ! thanx god for making Roger Ebert ! It , s very good you see the iranian movies like ( Children Of Heaven , you , r point is 4 Star for this movie. ) and Kiarostami movies and now A Separaion. i want ask you about other movies From Asghar farhadi . About Elly while better than A Separation . I , m wating for you , r answer . <p> Very interesting list . I was just wondering why there 's no mention of INTO THE ABYSS considering how much you liked it and how much you mention the greatness of Werner Herzog when you talk about MELANCHOLIA . <p> Hi , Roger ! Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ till this weekend . <p> Like many others who have commented , I disagree pretty strongly about Melancholia , but not , I think , for the same reason . I would only object to Von Trier 's misanthrophy and nihilism if he did n't communicate them effectively , and in fact he communicated them superbly . I would credit the film with nearly all of the strengths its champions admire it for : superb visuals , terrific performances , an often sharp script . <p> My problem was that the science was terrible . Not terrible as in , you think it through later and it does n't really hold together , but terrible as in , a character says something and you immediately stop believing in the movie completely . And not just on the literal level ; you ( or , more accurately , me , with my personal level of scientific knowledge ) stop believing in the movie as metaphor . Because I of course understood that Melancholia was ( pun intended , and perhaps by Von Trier ) above all a metaphor for Justine 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us , and I was eager to give myself up to that . But we 're told that Melancholia was previously unknown because it had been " hiding behind the sun , " and that 's not just scientifically preposterous , it 's trite as metaphor . Now , if Melancholia had always been present in the outskirts of the solar system and had been silently moving towards the sun for years , and had been the secret source of much of what did n't make sense about planetary movement ( in this alternate reality ) , and had been invisible until recently because it had reflected no light , but was now shining beautifully after being warmed by the sun -- not only is that scientifically plausible , I would also argue that it 's a hell of a lot more thought-provoking and resonant as metaphor . And I came up with that on the way back to my car ! <p> I also could n't make sense of Claire 's lack of interest in researching Melancholia given her evident anxiety over the possible end of the world . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extreme of all the many credible scenarios is that 90% of scientists thought it was no danger , and were violently disagreed with by a maverick 10% . In which case there would have still been a worldwide obsession with that 10% chance of doom , which Claire , no matter how sheltered , could not possibly have been oblivious to . I think we were supposed to believe that there was an essentially universal scientific consensus that Melancholia was not a danger , that John was not lying to her about there being nothing to worry about ( hence his extreme reaction when he realizes the planet is approaching again ) , and that the " Dance of Death " website that Claire Googled up in a moment of anxious weakness was discredited conspiracy-theory stuff , which of course turned out to be correct . Well , that 's not remotely credible either . If the correct science was that there would be a collision , that 's not going to be missed by every actual scientist but divined by some amateur with a web site . Nor is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hide the truth ; I 'm not sure you could find one scientist who 'd endorse that , let alone all of them . <p> Proof once more that movies do n't exist on film , they exist in your brain , which is already full of other stuff . You , more than any other critic working , understand how subjective all this is . Yet it 's an objective fact that the movie would have worked better for more people had Von Trier ever showed his script to someone with a good knowledge of astronomy . Which you 'd think would be one of the steps in creating a science-fiction movie . Why does it not surprise me that a nihilistic misanthrope is also apparently contemptuous of science ? He 's a heck of a film-maker , though . <p> anybody know when Separation is on cinema in europe(Sweden) ? i wan na see this film one of my best friends saw it in a festival and he said its the best film he has been seen in his life ! roger could you write reasons of succes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thank u <p> Why would you expect anyone to totally agree with your list ? No two people will make the same list ! <p> That does n't mean the effort is n't worth it . I found several films in this list that I 've never heard of , but now want to check out because you brought them to my attention . And that , after all , is really what such lists are about , right ? <p> Mr. Ebert , do n't feel bad about being totally off the mark on your best movie picks of 2011 . You ai n't alone . Every one of the 88 critics cited by Vanity Fair also missed the boat . 100 years from now , all of us , all these films , will be long forgotten . Yet one of this year 's movies will not only be remembered but venerated . <p> RUBBER will rule . <p> I am also equally sure the clueless Academy of today will completely ignore Robert 's brilliant work . However both this future cinematic masterpiece , and the finest work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be revered by the hip cyborg audiences of 2111 . <p> I 'm surprised to see a 3D film as one of your very top choices . Even if it is Scorsese . Would you say that now that you have seen what a filmmaker like Martin Scorsese does with the technology , would you say that you are interested/intrigued by what he might do with his future films made in 3D ? Would you say his embrace of 3D has interested you in the potential of the format ? <p> To me , I like " The tree of life " and " Midnight in Paris " . Just wonderful movies . They leave many lessons to learn and to think about . And I think there should also be 2 more places for " Bridesmaids " and " The girl with the dragon tattoo " on the list . Perhaps there is no need to talk much about these two movies . Anyone who have seen them have their own feelings . <p> Well , no one is going to like everything on your list . Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ryan was the best film of 1998 and you put it third , after Pleasantville , which I did n't care for , and Dark City , which does seem good . However , you are entitled to your opinion and I respect it . What I did n't like was when you did the lists in alphabetical order , so we could n't tell which film you really liked the most . Personally , I do n't see a difficulty in doing it the original way . We are n't asking much from you , just to do it like that . We are n't saying , " Put Transformers on the list ! ! ! " Now that would be wrong . Have a happy holiday and on to the next year 's worth of films . <p> Hello Roger , I agree with the majority of your list . With one exception .... Tree of Life . I found it to be a pompous , self indulgent , and poor example of quality story telling through the media of film . I love Terrence Malick 's films @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me . It 's too bad that he could n't just focus on the story of the family and leave out all the transcendental images about the " circle of life " . I felt it was two different movies that got inappropriately edited together . Cheers to you and your insightful list of films either way . I always count on your expertise when I am choosing a film to view . Thanks ! <p> Simply I wanted to say that I look forward to your lists every year . It expands my movies watching library and I am always fascinated by the variety of things I have n't watched . Your opinions and expertise are valued . <p> Roger , I am so glad you did not include " Bridesmaids " on your list . It 's not funny , predictable and so boring . I would rather watch " The Artist " 10 times than sit through another performance of " Bridesmaid " . <p> I lasted just over an hour , and thankfully realised that this was going to be time I really , really , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of somebody so basically losing the plot and ending up somewhere up the back end of themselves . <p> I 've read so many of your reviews and felt that I was in touch with your feelings much more often than not , but this film I have to say has become a benchmark for me , in that anybody , ANYBODY , who actually perceives anything other than a steaming pile of ... ceases to have an opinion that I care to listen to . <p> I feel that strongly because , c'm on , seriously , it is SUCH a bad film , I think I 'd rather watch Transformers , and I do not say that lightly believe me . <p> I have skimmed through most of these comments but I only have 2 questions for you and I will keep them short . What is your opinion on Bellflower and/or My Suicide . I have been looking forward to both of these movies becoming available for on line viewing . Thank you for your time . <p> Thanks for the list ! With so many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out some of the ones I missed and wow , was I ever impressed by David Schwimmer 's TRUST . Wow ! It did not / does not sound like a film that I would *want* to see at all and its a very one of a kind type of film but Schwimmer really hit a home run with this film . I highly recommend : EVERYONE GO SEE TRUST . <p> Also , if Blue Valentine counts for this year ( ? ) then put that on the top of my list . Easy . <p> I have to make a comment to the people who are saying that they disliked Melancholia because it was " too depressing " . I have to address this because it just seemed so ridiculous to me that someone would go to a Von Trier film expecting to feel uplifted ; especially if you read the synopsis about the end of the world , and then of course ... the title of the film itself . What exactly was being expected ? <p> To the list itself ; it is a great overall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ awaiting for Margaret to come to Seattle , but I agreed with almost everything that I have seen that was put on the list . <p> Mr. Ebert , I look forward to your list every year with great anticipation and , year after year , you never fail to choose many of the films that I have enjoyed and have considered " one of the best this year " . You also choose many films that I have n't heard of which , once I finally do watch them , I throughly enjoy . I always make it a point to check your review of a film before I watch it , a habit that my kids have now picked up . Your " Best of " list ranks right up there with all of the great things that I look forward to each year . Anniversaries , the Oscars , the Super Bowl , Ebert 's " Best of " list . Thanks . Sincerely , Ken <p> Hi Roger - Mostly solid list , from what I can see ( Harry Potter ? Blech ) . Anyway @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reviewer 's system , not the cosmos ) : please keep it . I often choose a movie based on a quick glance at your star ratings , and then read your review AFTER seeing the film . Butt-backwards probably , but it makes movie-going a more thoughtful exercise .... Thanks for all you do , Murray Winnipeg <p> I really enjoyed your list and I loved the movies " Tree of Life " , " The Artist " , and " Midnight in Paris . " All of these deserve a spot of this list but my favorite movie of 2011 and all time is " Super 8 ! " This movie hit all the right notes and it inspires me to make my own movies , something no movie has done to me . " Super 8 " was almost magical to me , and it reminded me for why I love movies in the first place.I believe that this is the " E.T . " of my generation ! <p> It is a bit strange to me to see very few independent movies except in the " @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ " Separation " on my top ten list ... but at least it is mentioned . <p> Whatever happened to Tinker , Tailor , Soldier , Spy ... suppose it is too complex and seems stiff for those who have not seen the original BBC series . But it is marvelous , though . <p> Although I highly appreciate and regularly read your work , Mr. Ebert , I find it strange that Hugo is No 4 ( the list seems pretty along with Oscar predictions , though ... ) and War Horse is merely mentioned . <p> I myself know very little of the game but I found the movie even less commercial than you do . It really has something that makes it rather different from all other " sports " theme movies . It has a beautiful pace of its own . <p> I do n't think Young Adult should be on your list , but did enjoy its fearlessness . You talked about alcoholism in your review and I agree it 's a potent part of the film and Theron 's construction of the character . @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a female narcissist and the lengths a woman with that mental framework will go to in order to avoid looking at the truth of her life and how she treats others . <p> The short scene where she has a moment of clarity and then becomes roped back into the delusions that allow her to live an unexamined life hit it home for me . I see the alcoholism as a derivative of her narcissism , not the other way around . <p> It 's not a character I see often in film and although the script is a bit flawed , I 'm glad Cody and Reitman got it made ( and that Theron has the guts to play someone so thoroughly unlikeable ) . <p> I 'm from Turkey . I genuinely believe You are one of the best critics in the world . I simply love your comments on movies . Anyway , your list is exceptional . I 've seen more than half of the films you have mentioned.I only did n't enjoy Another Earth although I saw it twice . I do n't know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when i pick up a dvd , and i see that ebert has given it the thumbs up , that tells me that its worth watching . in other words , i think ebert is the best critic in the business . BUT , when i did n't see warrior on this list , i lost a bit of respect for ebert. movie of 2011 in my opinion . great movie , great story , great acting and the best ending ever . i watched drive straight after watching warrior because i had heard that drive was supposed to be this ace movie but it did nt even compare to warrior one bit . well , at least ebert gave warrior 3 out of 4 stars and praised it but it still should have made this list , even if it was number 20 . <p> Hi Roger ! Thank you for great list I like " Separation " ( from iran ) very much I , m glad because this film won golden globe prize and I hope this film will win Oscar but do you see " about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This is a fantastic list of movies . After reading the descriptions of each movie , I want to watch the entire list ! Since I see several others have made similar comments , you can no longer claim that people only dis your lists . ; ) <p> Interesting list . My favourite film of the year was " Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy " which you do n't mention . It 's my impression that it 's a film which the UK took to its heart but which has n't gone down all that well in the US . Would you agree with this ? <p> Nice to see you include " Trust " which I thought was excellent - Clive Owen 's best work to date . <p> I do n't know whether sadness is now obligatory for making " quality " films , but 2011 seems to be filled with an overabundance of unhappiness . I understand that human emotion is what allows us to connect with the themes and characters of the movie . But , jeez , does anyone have a sense of humour anymore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'm hoping 2012 brings more joy and celebration . Those are emotions that I can identify with , too , you know . <p> Why is it that critics find the most booooooorrrrrring crap and call it the best just because it has a lonnnnnnnnng drawn out story that will put you to sleep after 20 minutes we need regular people judging films the people that actually go watch the movies to judge them . Its like rottentomatoes their ratings are almost always wrong <p> I truly respect your opinion about film . I find your list of top twenty plus interesting and it certainly mirrors many of my favorites of the last year . I absolutely agree that A Separation was THE best film of 2011 . I hardy ( as much as I enjoy all of George Clooney 's films ) think The Descendants belongs on any one 's top twenty list . <p> There are so many movies I still have not gotten to see do to my busy travel schedule but I have seen the " The Tree of Life " and I loved it ! @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has the possibility of going with is film is endless . I can understand the comments about the sadness of movies in 2011 as I experienced the same feeling but on a larger scale . I believe 2011 was simply a rough year in general and that echoes throughout the entire society . Because I travel so frequently for Dish I decided to find a live streaming service and choose Blockbuster@ Home . It takes live streaming to the next level and it 's as easy as connecting my sling adapter to my DVR and internet and my laptop can access Blockbusters building library of something like 100,000 titles . Free for three months for new customers to try the mail service is awesome as it has movies , games , Blu-ray , and no late fees or due dates . I 'm going to catch up on my 2011 films so I can enjoy the rare and independent films of 2012 . <p> Does anyone here realize that there are SEVERAL " top movies of 2011 " lists out there ? And newsflash ..... the critics that make these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ release them . This is why you look at several lists , then decide which ones you want to see . Secondly , if you disagree with the choices , make your own list ! I am stunned that people actually argue over this . It 's moronic . " Hey ! ! Where 's Rango on this list ! " SMH . Mr. Ebert can not list every single movie .... he reviews them based on his insight and objectivity .... but there is no denying that we all are drawn to different movies . Duh . That being said , I want to give Mr. Ebert Kudo 's for this list . I have searched several online , and most have the commercial " Thor " and " Rango " types that everyone has already heard about ( not to say they are not good movies .. I loved Thor , it was entertaining ) . But this list brings movies that could have been easily missed to my attention . Thank you for that ! ! As always , I loved your critique 's and always reference @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> This list should be titled : " Roger Ebert 's Favourite Films of 2011 " because it is certainly not a list of the best movies for 2011 - not when " Drive " ( I still do not see what all the fuss is about that drivel . I would really like ( or rather not ) to see the book - if any that that atrocity is based on - imagine a book with page after page of absolute blank ) is on it , or anything Harry Potter for that matter . I was suprised that " Twighlight " did not make your list . For me , this is mostly a list of movies to avoid . <p> I watched " Take Shelter " last night . It was the best film of 2011 and I am astounded by both the direction and the acting . This movie propels forward without so much as a whiff of plot manipulation , trickery , or anything less than full and complete honesty.Yet it 's plot is jaw-droppingly original . It manages this also by its genuine characters @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . <p> I have never seen anything like this before , and my cinematic ennui extends not only to almost everything produced these days , but also to several of those selections on Mr. Ebert 's list ( though I am not complaining , just grateful that " Take Shelter " was not overlooked ) . <p> Do n't miss this movie . You 'll think you 've understood what you 're watching , but you 'll see the structure of your understanding , in the end , provides no shelter for your brain . <p> This list is fantastic . It is a better year for movies then other previous years . I am glad to see Drive in the top ten and to all those out there who commented on why Drive was ranked above other four star movies : Drive is a film that is so cool and independent , that it does n't need recognition from the Oscars or Cannes . Yes , there may be a few loopholes in the entire product , but it does n't need to be told it is a great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movie journalists/bloggers ( yourself included ) and am aware of all of these movies . Of your Top 20 , I have seen Tree of Life , Midnight in Paris and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part II as well as Rango from your runnerups . <p> Must say your selection is one of the better ones I 've come across in my opinion ! Definitely going to have to watch some of the films in the list I have n't seen . Here are my favorite films for anyone interested <p> I really respect this list . All the ones I have seen are in my particular top 10 . Also I really wanted to ask you if it 's best to see Hugo in 3D or in 2D , because I mostly align with you in your distaste for 3D , but you seem to enjoy the 3D . Is it really worth it ? I would really appreciate your answer because Scorsese is my favorite director and I have being waiting for the movie to arrive at my country . Thanks a lot . <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Waves " had a happy ending , you might want to give it another watch to refresh your memory . It is also a much better film than Melancholia which you liked so much . I have seen 4 films on this list , but was surprised to see many International films make the grade . : ) I look forward to seeing many of these films you have recommended . My favourite I have seen this year is " The Help " . So much laughter , and so many tears . RogerEbert.com <h> Search <h> About this Entry <p> This page contains a single entry by

Not only was there no bailout , but Congress even got rid of Obama 's wretched " build America bonds . " <p> 2 . A front-door bailout of Europe by the United States -- The bad news is that there have been bailouts of Greece , Ireland , and Portugal via the clowns at the IMF . The good news is that the bailouts have n't been as big or extensive as I originally feared . <p> 4 . Regulatory imposition of global warming policy -- The EPA has been busy imposing lots of costly regulation , but it appears that my fears on this issue were misplaced . <p> 5 . U.N . control of the Internet -- As far as I can tell , the statists did not make any progress on this issue , so my concerns were unfounded . <p> This year , I 'm not going to put together a list of things that should make us worry .

Amrita 's village sits alongside the desert and a forest of trees , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has her own children , she teaches them to love the trees . <p> Inevitably , trouble comes in the shape of men with axes whose words make her blood run cold : " Cut down every tree you find . The Maharajah needs plenty of wood to build his new fortress . " She tries to protect her tree , but the men whack it down . When the villagers come , they , too , stand against the trees and the axemen give up . <p> When the army of axemen return with the Maharajah and his army of soldiers , the people feel defeated . At that moment , like an ex deus prop , a huge sandstorm hits . Everyone take refuge in the forest . After the storm 's fury is spent , the Maharajah relents and allows the villagers to keep their forest . There is a big celebration . <p> The illustrations by Brigitta Saflund are breathtaking in the rich hues of Indian dress and vibrant greens of the trees set against the dry yellow of the desert . The luxurious palace of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blues that decorate it . <p> However , the last page , which is not part of the story , reveals more . In a story for children sometimes details are omitted . The Maharajah did not relent and allow the trees to stay . He had every one of them cut down . In hugging the trees to protect them , over 300 villagers , Amrita included , were killed . As Henry David Thoreau wrote in " Civil Disobedience , " a person who commits civil disobedience must be willing to pay the consequences . The tree huggers of Rajasthani have been commemorated by India 's first National Environment Memorial . There are still movements in India to protect trees and other natural resources . There 's definitely a need , as

@@5030241 <p> A quick and easy way to suggest a group of people are evil in fiction is to give them uniforms that resemble those worn by the Third Reich , the Roman Empire , pseudo-Mongols or the Soviet Union . In a broader sense , this can also refer to using other stylistic elements from the Nazi times ( like the " F ? hrer " title , goose-stepping " stormtroopers " , or swastikas if the creator is more daring ) to make sure your villains are visibly evil . When a group puts on the Reich , expect to see the classic fascist colors of red background , black symbol , and white circle and an easily recognizable , sometimes swastika-like insignia somewhere ... or everywhere . <p> Incidentally , some of the uniforms for the real SS were manufactured by Hugo Boss ( yes , that Hugo Boss ) using slave labor . Those Wacky Nazis were actually pretty snappy dressers despite being evil , which just furnishes another reason for authors and costume designers to borrow their motifs Very common when State Sec is around . <h> Examples <p> open/close all folders <p> Anime and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mobile Suit Gundam ' s Universal Century . Gets more Anvilicious as time goes on , since later series played up the " Zeon = Nazi Germany " metaphor , most prominently Gundam 0080 giving Zeon battle flags that were one Swastika away from Nazi banners and introducing their fixation on using German words with their mecha ( like Gelgoog Jager , Rick Dom Zwei , etc . ) . <p> In another Gundam example , the uniforms worn by the Mariemaia Army in Endless Waltz were quite intentionally modelled on the Hitler Youth uniforms . <p> Which makes sense , considering it 's set in an alternate universe where the Axis won World War Two , the Japanese got its ass kicked by the Germans , and the Corps is a secret police force for the fascist Japanese government . <p> While the uniforms in Fullmetal Alchemist are much more French ? than German , the simple fact that they refer to their leader as the F ? hrer is a tipoff that all is not right . It 's justified in the 2003 anime version , where we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alternate universe equivalent to early-20th-century Germany . <p> The guards of Impel Down in One Piece look like demons and wear uniforms that bear a very strong resemblance to SS officer uniforms , complete with armbands showing the Impel Down symbol ( not quite a swastika , but close ) . <p> The Red Ribbon Army from Dragon Ball has just about the least oppressive dress code out of any army in fiction , but the effeminate , physically formidable , blond-haired , blue-eyed General Blue seems to dress this way strictly out of personal preference . <p> Not to mention the red armbands they wear . <p> Also , one of the movies , Fusion Reborn , features a character known as the Dictator who is quite blatantly an Adolf Hitler expy . <p> The villainous Empire in the H-anime Angel Core , with armored battle robots that look like the Kerberos Corps troopers from Jin-Roh : The Wolf Brigade has SS-style uniforms ( including the SS lightning bolt insignia ) , and experiments relating to the supernatural . <p> Team Rocket in Pok ? mon . Not only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as implied to experiment on sentient creatures , but in one of Team Rocket 's boss fantasies during AG in the Japanese version ? , they are even doing a pose similar to the Hitler salute , and militaristic footsteps are heard . ( This was omitted in the English version presumably due to the implications of the scene . ) <p> The crew of the Silvana in Last Exile wear black uniforms with silver trim that look vaguely like those of the SS , but more loosely tailored . <p> Bleach : The Vandenreich seems to be closely associated with this trope . It does n't help that they 're quincies and the quincies have been associated with the militant Christian Knights ( Teutonic Knights , in particular , but also the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller ) since the very beginning of the manga . Just like the adoption of certain Teutonic Knight themes and symbols in the Nazi pagentry , the Vandenreich also seem to have evolved from these Teutonic Knight roots into something very reminiscent of the Nazis . They even sent a sub-division called @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and engage in activities that oscillate between assimilation and ethnic cleansing . The Jagdarmee 's leader also looks enough like Heinrich Himmler for him to have earned a Fan Nickname based on this resemblance . Their logo , a modified Quincy cross , is also vaguely reminiscent of the Nazi swastika . <p> The uniforms of Helevetian soldiers in So Ra No Wo To , arguably a subversion since they are n't the villains . <p> Comic Books <p> The original designs for the uniforms worn by the X-Corps in X-Men comics had distinct Nazi overtones . This was decided to be a bit tacky and the published version wear vaguely militaristic uniforms , which do n't really look that different from the leather outfits the X-Men were wearing at the time , but which , nonetheless , are meant to be a clue that Something 's Not Right . <p> When we say " distinct Nazi overtones , " we are of course talking about Banshee wearing a barely disguised swastika on his chest . <p> V for Vendetta ' s Norsefire party is pretty much literally the Third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in bits of Oceania . Unsurprising , what with Norsefire being an extension of the National Front , British Union of Fascists , British National Party , and similar groups . Even clearer in the original comics where Norsefire shares the National Front 's " NF " symbol . <p> The original comic does a better job of localizing its fascist government , and thus making its point that such regimes can emerge anywhere , by extrapolating from traits and tendencies that were supposedly observable in the Thatcherite government of the time of its creation . The movie undermines this by making Norsefire an out-and-out allegory for the Nazis the Bush administration ( Adam Susan is renamed Adam Sutler in a move that is , ironically , less subtle ) . <p> Earth Man in Legion of Super-Heroes is a Terran supremacist and historical revisionist who claims Superman was from Earth . He leads a movement of fellow Earth natives in a campaign of hatred and bigotry towards offworlders of any kind after he and his cronies were all rejected from the Legion ; not only is it established that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it 's the costume ( and the fact that he 's a statuesque blond ) that really ties the image together . <p> Do n't forget the Nazi-style armbands with Superman logos ( replaced with Earth logos after their defeat at Superman 's hands ) . <p> The Dingoes in the Archie Knuckles the Echidna series were this to the point that the artists were forced to remove the symbols on their uniforms . <p> Vril Dox 's costume in R.E.B.E.L.S . in The DCU bears more than a faint resemblance to a Nazi uniform , including jodhpurs . <p> One Jack Chick comic-format screed envisions the country run by the secular **39;1051;TOOLONG -- they dress in a charming mix of Nazi , Communist , and Spanish Inquisition . Oh yes , and their salute is the peace sign . And the swastika stand-in is the " ecology " symbol from ca. 1970 . <p> They might have been the Third Reich 's worst nightmare , but the Blackhawks ' uniforms were partly based on the Nazis ( specifically , the boots and pants . ) <p> Carlos Ezquerra @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judges in Judge Dredd because it was strongly associated with the Nazis and Spanish fascists , the latter of whom he lived under for many years . <p> The Goths in Ast ? rix wear helmets that look like the helmets of WWI German soldiers . The Goths are pre-unification Germans as they are shown as bickering and prone to infighting ( what quickly becomes an important plot point ) . Goscinny and Uderzo used a more general stereotype of militaristic , simple-minded and orderly Germans/Prussians . They later regretted this portrayal and the few Goths appearing later in the series are not putting on the Reich at all . <p> In the 1987 Hindi film Mr.India , everyone in the Evil Overlord Mogambo 's organisation greets each other with ' Hail Mogambo ' , and his soldiers wear uniforms that look like SS uniforms . <p> In the 2010 Rajnikanth starrer Endhiran , when the robot Rajnikanth becomes evil after being reprogrammed by Dr.Bohra , he starts wearing trenchcoats , like the SS , and has an army of robots who too dress up like Schutzstaffel officers . <p> @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Troopers . These are the " heroes " of our story ( though Paul Verhoeven would probably tell you otherwise . ) For instance , Neil Patrick Harris ' character 's uniform looks exactly like a simpler version of a Gestapo officer 's , hence his Fan Nickname , " Doogie Howser , SS . " <p> The Imperial Navy in Star Wars . The Empire also has " Stormtroopers " ( from German " Sturmtruppen " , a term originating with the German Army in World War One ) . And Darth Vader 's helmet vaguely resembles a Stahlhelm ( It 's also based on the samurai kabuto . The concept art made this vastly more obvious ) . The crew members on the Walkers appear to be wearing Wehrmacht uniforms down to the helmets , only with goggles added . <p> In The Phantom Menace , there is a shot of Trade Federation droids marching through an arch on Naboo that was almost certainly inspired by actual footage of Nazis marching through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris . <p> In Attack of the Clones , there was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they prepare to be deployed for war in such a way that very closely resembles Hitler 's watching the soldiers . <p> Revenge of the Sith was by far the most blatant use of the trope , as a lot of the film depicts things that are unmistakably similar to how Adolf Hitler came to power . In the novelization for the book , Palpatine even says that his empire will last for ten thousand years in what is unmistakably a reference to Hitler 's vow of a Thousand Year Reich . <p> The shot of thousands of troops lined up to welcome the Emperor in Return of the Jedi . Ironically , George Lucas stated in the commentary that that scene in particular was actually intended to reference the May Day Parades of what was at the time the Soviet Union . <p> And it 's not just the Imperial navy . The Rebel Alliance awards ceremony at the end of Episode IV is modeled directly from a scene in Triumph of the Will . <p> The police officers in Tim Burton 's Batman films wear what appear to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them are good guys . This could just have been to provide a general sense of the 1940s ( the decade when Batman first became popular ) , or maybe just another example of how much Burton adores black clothing . <p> In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 1 , the Ministry of Magic becomes this after Voldemort takes over . The Mooks wear gray versions of the standard Nazi uniform , higher officials like Runcorn wear longcoats similar to those of the SS , and the Ministry starts issuing anti-muggle-born propaganda very similar to the antisemitic tracts issued by the Third Reich . Similarly , Voldemort 's own Death Eaters wear hooded robes very similar to those of the Ku Klux Klan , but in black instead of white . When the regular Ministry of Magic temporarily become bad guys in Order Of The Phoenix , they go for a Stalin-era Soviet look . <p> The obscure political-parody film Hail features a sub-plot where the power-crazed US President creates a national police-force to serve as his personal Brownshirts . He personally designs the uniforms , staging @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . Upon seeing a Gestapo outfit : " I like those boots ! " The disturbing final product is half Nazi , half Captain America . <p> This sounds like a dig at Richard Nixon when his White House guards got Ruritanian makeovers - quickly ridiculed out of existence . <p> In The Lion King , Scar 's musical number " Be Prepared " has the hyenas marching goose-stepping in front of Scar in a sequence actually inspired by films of a Nazi rally . <p> Equilibrium ' s totalitarian government features a flag that is a direct copy-paste of the swastika , only with the crossbars centered on each radial . This website has a whole list of fictional flags of Nazi inspiration . <p> In the dieselpunkish 1995 film version of Richard III ( starring Ian McKellen ) , the titular character 's outfit is based off of a SS- Oberstgruppenfuhrer ' s uniform . Additionally , his government 's flag is basically the Nazi flag , but with his personal heraldic figure , a boar , in place of the swastika . This Richard is similar in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ home-grown Fascist movement during the 1930s . There are also many visual ShoutOuts to 1984 in the film . <p> The Octopus wears an SS uniform , and a samurai costume , and a Russian coat in The Spirit . Why , you ask ? Well , why not ? <p> And of course Monty Python 's Life of Brian features a Jewish resistance group , the " suicide squad " , with uniforms based on the sarazen ones , and their insignia is a ... a ... a swastistar . Oh , and their commander has a toothbrush moustache , too . <p> In a cut sequence , " Otto the Nazirene " is seeking " the new leader " ( i.e. , Brian himself , who does not let on ) , and suggests that after " expanding into the historically Jewish areas of Samaria " the Samaritans can be dealt with by " putting them in little camps . " ( Possibly someone realized in time that they were talking about annexing the West Bank . ) <p> Super Mario Bros. provides fascist undertones to Koopa 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Storm Trooper " inspired uniforms . Additionally , early scripts indicate " lizarddom " and racial superiority as chief motivations for Koopa ; he feels that mammals are inferior and need to be kept in check while eating plants ( herbivores ) is a sign of a race 's decline . <p> Just barely averted in Animal House . The Omegas ( the " evil " fraternity ) are basically styled as " East Coast preppy snobs , " but the filmmakers decided to go the extra mile to make them truly despicable by giving them unnecessarily militaristic rituals to practice ( " Sergeant " Niedermeyer 's drills on horseback come to mind ) , along with some casual racism and religious intolerance . The head of the costuming department later admitted that she would have dressed the Omega characters in Nazi uniforms if she had thought she could get away with it . <p> Literature <p> Mordred 's Thrashers in The Once and Future King by T.H. White , even down to wearing armbands with a red emblem , in this case of a whip . <p> An unusual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' s Southern Victory/ TL-191 Alternate History series , where while the Confederates ( who are supposed to be Nazi Germany in the series ) pretty much copy almost everything the Nazis do and did -- from trials , to their own Expy of Hitler , to even their own salute , party cry , and genocide . The one thing the Freedom Party ( the CSA version of the Nazi Party ) does n't copy is the uniforms . The description in the books and some of the covers show them to resemble WW 2 US uniforms . The US on the other hand does use German-styled uniforms and helmets because they have had a long-standing alliance with Imperial Germany ( to the point of almost hero worship of the German Empire ) . As for the Germans themselves , Germany is still under the Kaiser . And , ironically , despite TL-191 Confederates eventually becoming an Alternate History Nazi equivalent , they mostly use equipment and uniforms clearly based off of those of their traditional allies , the British and French ( tanks suspiciously similar to British ones @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> What 's even funnier about the Confederates in the Second Great War is , in spite of the uniforms and alliances with the traditional Allies , their military hardware ended up resembling German machinery . For examples , their Barrels ( Tanks ) were based on the Panther and Tiger tanks , their Hound Dog fighters were expies of Bf 109s , their Mule dive bombers were Stukas with Southern Crosses painted on the sides and they also fielded things like Barrel Busters ( Tank Destroyers ) and Stovepipes ( Panzerschrecks ) . Despite this however , the US would be the one to field the first turbo ( jet ) fighters , specifically the Boeing-71 " Screaming Eagle " , which was pretty much an expy of the Me 262 . <p> Older Than Television : The 1939 Sinclair Lewis novel It Ca n't Happen Here chronicles the rise of an American fascist government driven in part by the support of conservative Christians and ' forgotten men ' . The supporters of the government form a militia known as the Minute Men or M.M. They have many of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ implied homosexuality in the ranks and at the top ( see Ernst Roehm . ) <p> The Gale Force ( the Wizard 's army ) in Wicked , though of course in green . <p> The Wheel of Time series depicts ex-False-Dragon Mazrim Taim , now ostensibly working for the good guys , building up an army of magic-users using a variety of titles blatantly stolen from the Germans and translated into the Old Tongue . Possibly lampshaded when General Bashere is n't sure this is the real Taim because he 's shaved off his mustache . <p> In David Weber ' s Heirs of Empire series , when the humans from Earth re-establish the empire and incorporate the various national militaries into a new united one , one general , an American , reflects briefly on his discomfort at wearing an Imperial Marine uniform , which is black with silver trim . In the first book of the series it was established that corrupt mutineers from the original Empire had been secretly influencing human society over millennia , including inspiring the SS uniform which was based on the Imperial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who had repented and were secretly fighting them . <p> In the Vorkosigan Saga , Barrayaran military uniforms incorporate high collars , peaked caps , capes and jackboots . It makes sense for them to lavish attention on their uniforms , since Barrayarans as a group are all military-mad , and the ruling-class Vor insist they are not an aristocracy but a military caste . In keeping with the spirit of the trope , just before the events of the series , the government employed political officers as military watchdogs . <p> In an interesting subversion there 's actually very little Germanic element in the Barrayaran culture , which is mostly a British-Russian fusion , with some Napoleonic French and vaguely Greek bits thrown in . And the political officers were n't organic developments , but are a part of the Evil Plan by the then-current Emperor , who mercilessly used and threw them out the moment they fulfilled their task in his plans . <p> In The Dresden Files novel Ghost Story , the defenses that Evil Bob has set up to protect the Corpsetaker 's lair in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , complete with wolf-like demons wearing Nazi uniforms and helmets . Evil Bob completes the regalia by wearing a Nazi officer 's uniform with black trenchcoat . Of course , seeing as how Evil Bob 's last conscious memories were from World War II , it only makes sense that he 'd use the most recent and advanced military defenses he knew of . <p> Note that it 's never confirmed that the " wolfwaffen " are constructs , in which case Evil Bob might 've recruited actual Nazi ghosts for his defense force . If so , there may not have been any " Putting On " about it . <p> In Norman Spinrad 's novel " The Iron Dream " the followers of Ferric Jaggar don uniforms similar to Nazis . Of course , the writer of this novel within a novel is supposedly Adolf Hitler himself ( who also gets credited in the intro for designing the clothes ) ! Go figure . <p> Live Action TV <p> The uniforms of the Alliance Navy in Firefly . It does n't help that many Alliance uniforms were left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have slight fascistic overtones . <p> The black uniforms of the Psi Cops in Babylon 5 . And the brown shirts of the Nightwatch . <p> The Genii in Stargate Atlantis have uniforms that bear a fair resemblance to some German uniforms from World War One . A downplayed version occurs in a season two episode that features a society which deports its prisoners to the vicinity of the planet 's Stargate so the Wraith will feed only on them , where the Magistrate 's uniform bears some fascistic overtones . <p> A weird inversion : The Ninth Doctor 's leather jacket was patterned after a German submariner 's jacket ( source ) . Commented on by Captain Jack in " The Empty Child " , set in 1941 London : <p> Jack : The way you guys are blending in with the local color- I mean Flag Girl is bad enough , but U-Boat captain ? <p> Played straight with the Republic Security Forces in " Inferno " , the organisation being an SS-like doppelganger of UNIT in a parallel world . <p> Done very straight with the Kaleds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in " Genesis of the Daleks " . To the point that the actor playing the Himmler-clone Nyder can be seen wearing a genuine Iron Cross in certain scenes . <p> A more subtle example can be seen in The Idiot Lantern , in which the TV antennae are shaped like swastikas . <p> Voyager episode " The Killing Game " featured hunter-race the Hirogen capturing the Voyager crew and forcing them to re-enact a WW 2 holoprogram , with the Hirogen taking the part of the Nazis in occupied France . They wore their Nazi uniforms when outside the holodeck too . Somewhat averted , in that only one of them actually believes in the Nazi philosophy - the leader is ready to strike a deal with Janeway in exchange for the holodeck technology . <p> The sci-fi television miniseries V , which is hardly surprising as it was adapted from a script about the rise of a fascist movement in the United States . Notably such aspects as the swastika-like Visitor 's flag , the Friends of the Visitors ( Hitler Youth ) , the persecution of scientists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' incidents ' to justify Visitor policies , the Great Leader ( Fuhrer ) and Diana 's Mengele-like experiments . <p> Averted by the remake , which takes a different tack . The enigmatic but charismatic Vs suddenly arrive with messages of hope , change , and universal health care . <p> Mirror-Odo 's uniform in the Star Trek : Deep Space Nine episode " Crossover " evokes this . Though still recognizably Bajoran , it is all-black and fitted with a high collar and a belt . <p> And of course , there 's Gul Hitler Dukat . <p> In the television version of The Stand , Flagg 's mass rally in Las Vegas features vexilloids resembling the Third Reich 's flag : red , with a stylized black crow ( ? ) fimibriated in white . <p> Garth Marenghi 's Darkplace . In " The Apes of Wrath " Garth wakes up from a month-long coma to be told that monkeys have taken over the hospital . Disbelieving , he opens the door to see two monkeys in German steel helmets and carrying MP-40 submachine guns marching down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a World War II flashback ; he ate an SS officer and put on his uniform because he liked the coat . He still did n't care bollocks for the ideology , though . <p> Star Trek : Enterprise goes all the way in the episode " Storm Front " , which has aliens with a Nazi-like ideology going back in time , allying with the actual Nazis , and wearing actual Nazi uniforms . <p> And then there 's the Imperial Starfleet uniforms from " In A Mirror , Darkly " , which are generally like their " Our Universe " counterparts , but now include Sam Browne belts and black and silver rank epaulettes . As well , the MACO insignia is now a Totenkopf-like skull rather than the Mako Shark . <p> The two Munich police officers in The Cube , who seem to be wearing altered SS uniforms . <p> Not so much the uniforms , but the flags of the Phoenix Group in Terra Nova resemble Nazi battle standards . <p> The music video for Lady Gaga ' s " Alejandro " shows the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bra with AR-15s attached . <p> The music video to Disturbed ' s cover of " Land of Confusion " has the oppressive , money-driven soldiers looking like this , going so far as to make their insignia a stylized dollar bill similar to a swastika . <p> In " The Wall " by Pink Floyd , hallucinating Pink is nothing short of Hitler and much of the imagery ( colours , design and symbols ) are taken directly from the Nazi heraldry . <p> Perhaps a strange hallucination , considering that the plot involved Pink 's father dying in World War II at the hands of the Nazis . <p> In Rifts , the Coalition soldiers are called Dead Boys because of their skull motif , ripped from the SS . Their dress uniforms are SS-based as well . <p> For that matter , Emperor Prosek is ( in addition to the above dress stylings ) consciously modeling much of his empire 's political organization , propaganda tactics , and social engineering on the Third Reich itself -- he 's a historical scholar with a specialty in Nazi Germany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . <p> In Warhammer 40000 , the ruthless commissars of the " Imperial Guard " go for the twofer by taking the name " Commissar " from the Soviet Union and the trench-coat and high-peaked cap from the Third Reich . Furthermore , some planets ' regiments , like the Armageddon Steel Legion , Attilan Rough Riders and Death Korps of Krieg , wear outfits resembling those of the aforementioned villains of history . The Armageddon Steel Legion 's use of gas masks is at least justified by their home planet 's chokingly polluted atmosphere , and the Death Korps of Krieg by their homeworld being subjected to atomic bombardment , the radiation of which has yet to clear . Though the Death Korps of Krieg have a German-sounding name , their uniforms take inspiration from German , French and Belgium WWI uniforms . The Death Korps of Krieg are also known for using spiked helmets that the basic design were infamously used by German troops in World War I , along with the coal-scuttle helmets usually associated with the Wehrmacht but actually first used by German troops in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ horses wear gasmasks and black/silver spiked barding while having one of the aforementioned Death Korps riding them . <p> Older ( metal ) Cadian units , on the other hand , wear obvious Wehrmacht-inspired uniforms , right down to the bread-bags , Y-straps , jack boots , and cylindrical ribbed gas mask cans . <p> A bunch of platinum-blond , white-as-snow women in red-on-black armor with white and gold highlights , all fanatically devoted to an empire with an eagle motif , who are fanatically concerned with genetic and ideological purity ? The Sisters of Battle combine this trope a healthy mix of Fetish Fuel , horror tropes , Amazon Brigade , and Jeanned Archetype . <p> It ca n't get more overt than the Helghast from Killzone . Their basic Mook comes with a helmet , gas mask and trench coat , and they 're all about the militarism and xenophobia . And that 's just scratching the surface . <p> While Black Hole soldiers look like astronauts , several Black Hole COs dress in a manner specifically intended to recall Nazis -- namely , Flak ( a stahlhelm-and-greatcoat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jodhpurs and epaulets ) , and Sturm himself ( a general with a Commissar Cap and a gas mask ) . <p> Battalion Wars has the Xylvanians , who are a cross between WWI Germans , Nazis , and , of course , vampires . <p> The uniforms worn by United Earth Directorate officers in Starcraft resemble Nazi uniforms , right down to the grey overcoats and hats . Oddly , their bosses are a Frenchman and a Russian . The UED were basically Space Nazis . <p> The UED gets bonus points for using the same interior decorators as Nazi Germany . Both have red flags with similar symbolism ; the UED shows an eagle atop the Earth , echoing the Third Reich 's eagle atop the swastika . <p> Inverted with Matt Horner in Starcraft II , who has a uniform inspired by fascists , but serves as the idealistic second-in-command of Jim Raynor . Possibly played straight in that he may have kept it from his confederate days . <p> Concept art for officers of the United Earth Federation in Supreme Commander has a Nazi-like appearance , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any particular nationality associated with them . <p> Enclave Officers from Fallout 3 wear a uniform that makes them look like a Nazi mixed in with a Confederate soldier ( with maybe even some Star Wars thrown in ) . Colonel Autumns uniform is especially Reich-ish . In both Fallout 2 and 3 , they are trying to kill all mutants , and thusly , all life ( all non-Enclave or Vault humans are mutated in some manner ) , so somehow their Putting on the Reich act becomes fitting . It ai n't just the clothes , either : on Enclave Radio , President John Henry Eden uses some rather overt Fascist imagery and rhetoric . Malcolm McDowell ' s voice helps . <p> Strangely though , the U.S. Military seemed to have used those kinds of uniforms even before the nuclear apocalypse , as evidenced by General Chase 's overcoat . <p> Partly subverted by the Great Khans , who engage mostly in drug-dealing and banditry ; the Courier can point out how much like their namesake they 're not . In one ending , they may decide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> The Imperial army foot soldiers in Valkyria Chronicles wear more medieval looking armor , but the officers such as Gregor have the Reich look going on . <p> And on the good-guy side , Welkin with his garrison cap and headphones is the very picture of a Wehrmacht Panzer Ace .

The reason for this is simple : the WW 2 German helmets were very well designed for their job . It was such a good design that many other countries bought and or copied the design . In essence , this was Putting on the Reich because of functional practicality rather than ideology .

For the most part , the NRA 's various factions were outfitted with various locally-made copies of all of these , some of them ( such as the Thompsons ) being produced legally and under foreign supervision .

As if that was n't bad enough , when the People 's Liberation Army ( the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party ) defeated the NRA in the Civil War , they then received Soviet-made weapons , equipment , and uniforms - again a mixture of imports and local products - as part of the Sino-Soviet Alliance , but continued to use their existing stuff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' 40s looked German with American bits , which came closer to Nazi-American hybrids as the war dragged on until , by the mid-to-late ' 40s , they became weird **29;1092;TOOLONG hodgepodges .

Large expanses of open water in the Siberian , Laptev , Chukchi , and Beaufort Seas result from declining summer sea ice cover , and consequently introduce long fetch within the Arctic Basin . Strong winds from migratory cyclones coupled with increasing fetch generate large waves which can propagate into the pack ice and break it up . On 06 September 2009 , we observed the intrusion of large swells into the multiyear pack ice approximately 250 km from the ice edge . These large swells induced nearly instantaneous widespread fracturing of the multiyear pack ice , reducing the large , ( &gt;1 km diameter ) parent ice floes to small ( 100 -- 150 m diameter ) floes . This process increased the total ice floe perimeter exposed to the open ocean , allowing for more efficient distribution of energy from ocean heat fluxes , and incoming radiation into the floes , thereby enhancing lateral melting .

It took some major mental acrobatics for me to make sense of that situation . Still , I recognized immediately that Terry was out of the ordinary . I could n't quite figure it out .

My friends simply could not bring themselves to participate in the wedding showers . Attending the wedding was completely out of the question . <p> Another objection , besides Terry 's being Catholic , was his divorce . I was not completely comfortable with that , but my friends basically went ballistic . As literal Bible readers , they could never condone my marrying a divorced man .

I had rarely been inside a Catholic church before , and at first the thought of it was scary . Somehow I had it in mind that Catholics worshipped idols , although I do n't recall any pastor , Sunday school teacher , or Bible professor actually saying that .

But the thing that surprised me the most was my physical reaction to the Eucharist , even though I knew that I could not receive Communion . From the beginning , I understood that receiving Communion meant agreement , not only with its meaning , but with the entire Church . Although I was not part of the Church , I became one of the staunchest defenders of the sacred nature of the Eucharist . The few times I witnessed its abuse , I became physically upset . And it never failed that whenever it was Terry 's turn to receive , I felt the constriction of my throat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I did n't understand what was happening to me , but I 've come to realize that this is my reaction when I am in the Presence .

Once again , the feeling that I did n't really belong began to bother me . In our adult Sunday school class , I had taken to defending and explaining the traditional ( Catholic ) point of view on various matters . I began asking out loud why we Baptists did n't believe Jesus ' own words in John 6 , about eating his flesh and drinking his blood .

The office personnel scrambled , trying to figure out what to do with me . Apparently there were no RCIA classes going on , nor had there been in recent years . After a few phone calls and a mini-conference with the priest , the secretary finally came back and suggested that I leave my phone number . Maybe someone would call me about RCIA in the future . <p> Months went by .

When I asked how long the actual RCIA classes would take , the priest answered it would be another year or two .

I discovered that one of them was catechized and initiated into the Church all within the week he died . I asked my priest why it would take me up to four years to accomplish the same thing . With all of my personal studies , I was ready . <p> I did n't receive much of an answer , to that question or others I had . Every week I brought typical Protestant objections for discussion , but he rarely gave me a straight answer .

I tried to interest him in the new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I asked if I should just start reading the Catechism , he was even more opposed .

I learned to my delight that it would take only from September until Easter for me to become Catholic . To my surprise , both my husband and our youngest daughter followed me . Terry discovered that he had not been very Catholic , and so he followed the Baptist back into the Church . During Holy Week our marriage was convalidated , and at the Easter Vigil , our daughter and I were initiated into the Church . Now Terry is as hooked on Catholic radio and television as I am . <p> As for me , I feel a heavy burden for my Baptist friends .

In my whole life , I had never heard of such a thing . In listening to the new apologists , I was amazed to hear Catholic people who knew and loved the Scriptures , who cared about evangelism , and who insisted that their fellow Catholics live out the faith in their daily lives .

@@5031141 <h> Is it normal that my toddler pushes food out of his mouth with his tongue ? <p> It depends -- is this a new problem or one he 's had a while ? Does it happen once in a while or all the time ? With toddlers , it 's sometimes hard to distinguish between what they do n't want to do and what they ca n't do . If it happens sporadically , it 's likely that your child simply does n't like certain foods and is spitting them out , which is , unfortunately , perfectly normal for a toddler . If it 's a new behavior that occurs repeatedly at meals and does not seem to be food-specific , it could mean he 's sick and is rejecting food because he ca n't swallow it . A very sore throat , for example , can lead a toddler to refuse food that hurts going down . Inflammation or infection of the tonsils , an abscess , or laryngitis might do the same thing . <p> If it 's a chronic behavior -- something your son does all the time -- I 'd take a closer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ -- for example , if your son eats pretty well but refuses foods that need a lot of chewing , such as hot dogs and hamburgers -- might signal an oral motor skill problem or a sensory processing disorder . Tongue thrusting can also be associated with cerebral palsy . Although doctors are most likely to diagnose cerebral palsy when a child is an infant because it is associated with other motor abnormalities , mild cases can appear during the toddler years as children make the switch from liquid to solid foods . <h> Member Comments <p> My daughter had always been a great eater and never picky at all . Then suddenly everything we gave her she would chew up and spit out . She also stopped sleeping through the night . She would wake up fighting mad and scream for hours . I was very concerned and her peditrician just told me she was spoiled . I took her for a second opinion and was sent to a specialist and she ended up having Reflux . Easily controlled with medication , and I had my angel back to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 months old and she is rarely picky on the foods she eat . A few months ago she started on taking her food out of her mouth , when food goes in her mouth , half of the time . My mom says that she wants to do experiment on her food and is curious on how the her foods feel . Even though I ca n't stand it and it is disgusting , my mom told me it is just a phase . <p> My 1yr old often spits out food thats a new texture or temp . That has a strong new taste . Sometimes I 'll try again in a few mins and he 'll love it . Otherwise next time we have it .. Some days he 's very picky with what he eats .. other days he 'll ea whatever I give him pretty much . <p> My son will eat just about anything without a problem but if he notices anyone watching him he will push his food out of his mouth to see their reaction . Sometimes when he just being an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mouth he will spit it out . <p> i think in this regard you can seek the help of a speech therapist who would teach you certain things to be done at home to his tongue and mouth .............. like stimulating with finger brush and massaging the palate etc ... regarding the feeding method etc.my two year old son does the same ... but now speech therapy has helped him in getting used to mild chewing ....... in keeping the tongue within ... mother need to do these mouth exercises regularly fr the child . <p> My 18 month old son does it just cause , he will take a bite and then look at me and just push it all out with his tongue and I 'm thinking that he thinks I 'm going to laugh which i once did when he did it , so he thinks it 's just funny and does it once in a while when he eats and then he 'll try to pick it up off the floor and re eat it which I do n't allow , I believe it 's just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ COURSE THERE ARE SOME MELLOW DRAMATIC PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY NEGATIVE THINGS AND JUMP TO THE CONCLUSION OF LIKE " OH MY GOD YOUR KID HAS A MENTAL DISORDER " OR " HIS TONSILS ARE SQUEEZED TOGETHER " OR " HE NEEDS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL " , I say get a grip people , some things toddlers just like to experiment on and it 's okay ! QUIT MAKING PEOPLE SO NERVOUS ABOUT THEIR KIDS BY DIAGNOSING SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW . <p> I know my 14 month old will chew up and spit out things with skin on it , like peas . I 've also seen her spit food out when it was to hot . I know I should have caught that before she did ! I also think she does it sometimes when she puts to much food in her mouth . <p> my 15 month old son just started doing this a few weeks ago . even with food that he loves to eat ( or atleast loves it for a few days ) he 's a picky eater .... especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all his teeth and top 2 molars and k9s are coming out now . i 'm happy if i can get 1 solid meal in him a day . he still drinks his milk and pediasure , so he 's getting nutrition ........ some random lady in a restaurant told us it 's very normal and if they have to chew too long , they just spit it out . she 's got 2 grown kids , so i guess it ca n't be that bad . my son 's got his well visit next week .... lets see what the doctor 's opinion will be ........ <p> I may have my son checked this is a chronic behavior for him , he 's been doing it since he was about 14 months old and he is 22months old , we notice most w/meat , we thought it was hard to chew or he does n't care for the texture , he also does it w/anything that has egg in it . Anyway ... it never hurts to double check . I hope nothing is wrong but at the same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ enough protein . <p> My son is barely ever picky . His favourite thing to eat is Mac and Cheese . Sometimes he just gets bored and his tongue pushes out the food . He may do this often but he still goes back eating his mac and cheese . So , I 'm pretty confident this has nothing to

@@5031241 <p> TV audiences ' watching habits have changed so dramatically due to digital video recording that if the DVR were a network , its ratings would beat the traditional networks among total viewers and in the critical young-adult demographic , according to TV Guide . <p> DVR usage is up 30 percent compared to last year , which is impacting TV ratings , which were initially seen as dismal this fall . Many shows previously believed to have failed are more likely to survive if it is discovered that they have a larger audience , which simply chooses to watch on a different schedule , according to the report . <p> " Our shows are really popular , and to think they suddenly lost their popularity seemed hard to believe , " said CBS senior executive vice president Kelly Kahl . " We started getting the delayed numbers and it made more sense . " <p> Time-shifted viewing is changing the way that network executives judge their line-ups , Kahl says , pointing out that knee-jerk reactions to early ratings are no longer reliable . <p> The DVR has proved to be a mixed blessing for the TV industry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more TV and offers executives an additional measurement to determine if a show is a hit , as opposed to just the overnight numbers . On the other hand , DVR users do not have to sit through commercials , which is worrisome for advertisers . <p> The Times quoted Andy Donchin , an executive vice president with Carat , an agency that buys airtime on behalf of other companies . He noted , " I just do n't think we can put all our eggs in one basket anymore ... It 's time to see what other media platforms we can use to make up for the people who are not watching our commercials . " <p> But some people are watching commercials . <p> " The ratings tell us people watch commercials when they are doing playback , " Pat McDonough , a senior vice president at Nielsen , told the paper . She added that almost half of all ads are viewed during playback -- an increase from a few years ago . In addition to the possibility that audiences might forget they 're watching a recording @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ <p> " The people making the commercials know how to get us to come off the fast-forward button , McDonough said . <p> But whether viewers sit through commercials or not , total viewership is up . <p> " The DVR increases viewers and even assuming the 50 percent skipping commercials , the total number more than makes up for it , " Moonves said . <p> But even so , networks are also finding ways to make skipping commercials more difficult . The traditional formula of interrupting a show with three commercial breaks of equal length is giving way among some programs to four commercial breaks of shorter length . The result is that viewers find themselves switching from fast-forward to rewind , and conclude that it is easier just to go ahead and watch a couple of commercials . <p> Gina Hall is a Los Angeles-based writer and producer with more than 10 years experience in television , documentary and feature film production .
