0:00:04 > 0:00:12This film contains some strong language and some violent scenes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Hey!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Geez. Buddy, you look dead.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I want to see Brockton.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Or Ulmer.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Yeah, what about?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36A murder.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yeah?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Who was murdered?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I was.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57He looks bad, Dan.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Nice of you to put in an appearance, Cornell.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20We'd given you up for...
0:03:20 > 0:03:23You'd be right.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Dead...on arrival.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35BROCKTON: Just one more on the pile, huh, Cornell?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37How many corpses now?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Five?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Six.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52If Cecil B. over there is ready, I'll tell you all about it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'll try to piece together
0:03:54 > 0:03:58as best I can what's happened over the last 36 hours.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Metcalf, a colour.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14How about green?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Young. Raw.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Immature.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Specific reference.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Jolly green giant.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You people are junk-culture geniuses.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I mean a literary reference.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28And Bill Cosby's latest book doesn't count.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Anybody?
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Nick?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Green fire off any synapses for you?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Shakespeare's line in Antony And Cleopatra.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Taylor and Burton to us.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41What's the line, Nick?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44"My salad days when I was green in judgment."
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Good. Another one.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49"The text is old, the orator too green."
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Not another Shakespeare quote. I meant another student.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Aren't we literal-minded lately?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56A bit like a computer.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Computer programmers have a saying, Professor.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00"Garbage in, garbage out."
0:05:00 > 0:05:03English professors have a saying, too.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06"Don't one-up me in public. I haven't graded your project yet."
0:05:06 > 0:05:09OK, can we hear from somebody else?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15SNORING
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm glad somebody can sleep in this heat.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Mr Sloane, good morning.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Dreaming of a white Christmas?
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Sorry, Professor.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Pulled an all-nighter.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Uh-huh.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31What's the topic?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34The colour green as a metaphor.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Got any thoughts...at all?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Anybody got any thoughts?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Jealousy.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42"Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45"It is the green-eyed monster
0:05:45 > 0:05:47"which doth mock the meat it feeds on."
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Othello.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Good acting, too, Nick.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53BELL RINGS
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Somebody please unplug this man.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Everybody, get the hell out of here.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Professor.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Thank you, Miss...?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Fuller. Sydney Fuller. Back row.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16I was wondering, do you think you could...?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Talk about your salad days.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22You want me to sign this?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I can't believe myself, but...yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26"To Sydney Fuller."
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Taken me all semester to work up my nerve to ask you.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's with a Y.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35S-Y.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38S-Y-D-N-E-Y.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40That's why I took your course.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43My parents think liberal arts is a waste.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I've read all your books... Shut up, Sydney.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49I have read them all.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Glutton for punishment, huh?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54No! I wish you hadn't stopped.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I didn't stop. I just stalled.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02< Professor Cornell?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04My novel, you really haven't, er...
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Read it? Finished it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Either. Neither.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09You said you'd grade it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11This heat's put me behind schedule.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I haven't shown it to anyone else.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Am I privileged or singled out for persecution?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Can I be honest?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19I don't know, can you?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Your opinion means a lot to me
0:07:21 > 0:07:23because of your body of work.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Yeah, synonyms for body - corpse, carcass, cadaver.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30If you don't like my novel, I'll die.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32No, I will. I'll stop writing.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Ah, even worse.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I spent the whole semester on that thing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It took Hugo 16 years to write Les Miserables.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It only takes a few days to read.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Come on, any comment.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Nice typing.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Something go down the drain?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You know something I don't?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Yeah. You look like shit, Hal.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I'm an expert on the subject.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06What's the matter? You up against a publisher's deadline?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I was up all night consulting my physician.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Playing doctor with Elaine.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Speaking of too hot.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The air conditioning at the med centre was working.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19She was on call all night.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21How do you do it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Feet in the stirrups?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Where else?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Hi-ho, silver.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, you're going to have to forget about that wild life
0:08:31 > 0:08:33once you're a full professor.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34You son of a bitch.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I wondered how long you were going to keep me in suspense.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39He said yes, right?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41So the promotion's mine?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42It's not official.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45You should go to the art gallery dedication.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I'll be there with bells on.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51It will be your last chance to kiss ass before the Christmas break.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54If you hadn't helped I wouldn't have the book contract.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58I'm not going to take the rap for that one.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'm serious. Thanks for putting in the good word.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Meet me in the office, we'll have a drink.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'll see you later.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Dex, you ought to slow down in this heat.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I thought you were a PhD, not an MD.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I'm an assistant professor, mortgaged to the eyeballs
0:09:44 > 0:09:47with two kids and a third one on the way.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Congratulations, Graham. Boy or girl?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51GRAHAM LAUGHS
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Word is that you recommended your friend Hal to the dean.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I was next in line.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I didn't put Hal's novel on Putnam's spring list.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You know academic politics - publish or perish.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Always has been, always will be.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06I have published.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Rehashing old lectures in obscure journals doesn't count.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12When was the last time you published?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16There's an interesting article for an obscure journal.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Young literary lion produces brilliant novel.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Gets hired by snazzy college. Strong follow-up brings full professorship.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26A third novel is a little careless and a fourth that kind of stinks.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30By then, the lion's tenured and number five never comes.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34You know, that's still four more than you, pal.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Some of us are teachers without literary pretensions.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40We're just fucking good teachers!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Fucking asshole.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44How did this get here?
0:10:44 > 0:10:45I don't know.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23TAPE REWINDS
0:11:26 > 0:11:28'Er, this is Gail.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30'Um, the papers came today.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31'Everything seems in order.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34'I just need you to sign them.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37'I'm sorry you had to move out so quickly.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40'I know you didn't get everything.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43'Um... There's some mail here for you.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47'And... Christ, is it hot enough for you?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51'They say rain's on the way, but I don't believe it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55'Um... I'll talk to you later, OK?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57'Bye-bye.'
0:11:57 > 0:11:59BEEP
0:11:59 > 0:12:02'Er, hi, Professor, it's Nick Lang calling, er...
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh, shit.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55NICK: 'If you don't like my novel, I'll die.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57'No, I will. I'll stop writing.'
0:12:58 > 0:13:02SIRENS WAIL
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Shut that, will you?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Shit.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Why?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Time of year, isn't it?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Holiday depression and all that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34And this heat.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Makes a guy do all sorts of insane things.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Pretty grim.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41So's this.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Next semester, I'm on the best-seller list
0:13:44 > 0:13:48and we're up to our asses in Dewars.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55What kind of problem could a college kid have
0:13:55 > 0:13:58that he thinks only a swan dive could solve?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02That was no ordinary college kid. You want to talk about problems?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04His father was a thief.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10About four years ago, he breaks into the Fitzwaring mansion.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11Killed the husband.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14So what does the widow do?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16She put's the thief's son through college.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17That's the kid?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Was.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Guess all the money in the world can't buy Nick a happy ending.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29He was a poetic little fucker, though.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33That's Nick's independent project.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Good read, huh?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36I didn't read it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38You didn't read it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Hmm-mm.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Well, what's the A for?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Ambitious?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I don't believe you didn't read it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Were you uptight that your student
0:14:49 > 0:14:51might produce something of quality?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I was uptight about reading
0:14:53 > 0:14:56400 pages of flatulent student fiction.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Now I don't have to.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Oh, God.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Now I do have to.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Not necessarily sober, though.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Merry Christmas.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Merry Christmas.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Less egg, Gail, more nog.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Who's this card from?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Uncle Charlie. Mine or yours?
0:15:34 > 0:15:35It's yours.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I thought he was dead.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39No. The dead one's mine.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Student suicide on campus today...
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Your records are by the door.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53We, er, mailing out joint Christmas cards this year?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I already sent mine out.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Guess not. Oh, I forgot.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I've got a gift for you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, God, Dex.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Why?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Well, don't worry.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It's nothing much.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Hot date? You don't dress like that to trim a tree.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Anybody I know?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Stop sounding like a husband.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I still was one.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01WHEEL PLAYS "The Daring Young Man On The Flying Trapeze"
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Thank you.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16It's a little nicer
0:17:16 > 0:17:20than what I got you, I'm afraid.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Couldn't you have thought of something more pleasant?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27A lump of coal, perhaps?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Come on. 'Tis the season to be jolly.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35This would be easier to take if you'd act a little hurt.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I hurt, Dex.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38You know how long I've hurt.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Why? What have I done?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Have I cheated on you?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I'm probably the only professor on campus not screwing a sophomore.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Maybe you ought to be.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It would be a sign of life - longing for something.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Tell you what.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56You wait here, I'm going out to find a co-ed for a quickie.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Then can we resume our marriage?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01This hasn't been a marriage in four years.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It's funny how that kind of coincides
0:18:04 > 0:18:07with the publication of my last novel.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So that's my great sin, huh? I'm not prolific enough.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You should have married Harold Robbins.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14One for the road?
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Subtle hint to exit?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17No. I'm exiting.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Make yourself at home. You are, after all.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Because I stopped writing?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Because you stopped caring.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Goddamn it, Gail. Don't run out on me. What did I do to you?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29You did it to yourself.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Oh God, Dex,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35you gave up on everything that mattered to you, including me.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Marriage isn't always as hot as the honeymoon.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41When two people live together...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You are so smart, and you don't have the faintest idea
0:18:43 > 0:18:45of what I'm talking about, do you?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Making love became just going through the motions.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I could take it, if you had talked to me.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Talk? I talk all day, every day.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58No, it's ironic banter. It's not intimacy.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00After a while, it's abuse.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'm sorry. I lied when I said, "For better or worse".
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I won't watch someone I love wither away.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Gail...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Don't.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I've got to. Mistletoe.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Sign those papers before you go.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Ah, a mistake.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37There is no scope.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Thank you, Graham.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Excuse me.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55We've got to stop meeting like this.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Hey, Dex.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Quit staring. I've got a bashful bladder.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10No, no. Just your wife. She know you're here?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11She's here?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Yeah.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Uh-oh!
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It's been a long time.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21You still attend faculty functions?
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It's a chance to see folks.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Anyone special?
0:21:25 > 0:21:26You found him.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Look what I found in the john.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Isn't it awful what you can get from a toilet seat?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33You enjoy your eggnog?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Not enough nog.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Get me one of those.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Don't encourage him.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Thought you had a hot date.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42GAIL: Did you sign those papers?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44You know I gave up writing.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Writer's block can get expensive with my lawyers, Dex.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Attention, please.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Despite the tragic event that happened on campus today
0:21:54 > 0:21:58our benefactress, Mrs Michael Fitzwaring,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01insisted that we proceed with the dedication as scheduled.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05This gallery was long the dream of my late husband.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Four years ago, when I arranged for the son of my husband's murderer
0:22:09 > 0:22:12to come to this college, it shocked many people.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But Nicholas Lang was not responsible for the sins of his father.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I believed he deserved a chance.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Over these last four years, Nick proved worthy of my faith.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27He triumphed over the past, or so it seemed.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29But sometimes the past is inexorable.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30I saw his body.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31Who?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Nick Lang, the student who jumped.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35DEX: Erstwhile student.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36What?
0:22:36 > 0:22:38He plummeted right past my window.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I had a front row seat.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42HAL: Geez, Dex.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Gail?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56We'll take care of her.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Leave it to Elaine.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Dex, don't complicate it.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Don't hurt yourself.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Gail, you and Nick Lang?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Gail? Talk to me.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Please leave me alone.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24# Scene of the crime
0:23:24 > 0:23:27# Body in the bag
0:23:27 > 0:23:32# One gets to die, one gets the flag
0:23:32 > 0:23:34# Slave to desire... #
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Bartender?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37# The pain of rejection
0:23:37 > 0:23:42# Too much sex, not enough affection
0:23:42 > 0:23:48# Read it in the paper, watch it on TV
0:23:48 > 0:23:50# Cry for a stranger
0:23:50 > 0:23:53# Turn your back on me
0:23:53 > 0:23:55# Try another line... #
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Bartender?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58# Still no protection
0:23:58 > 0:24:02# Too much sex, not enough affection... #
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Bartender.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Thank you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15My pleasure.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19More where that came from.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26You drinking to forget?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29To oblivion.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33What sorrow are you drowning?
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Maybe I just drink because I like it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Always a sorrow.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Lost hope.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Lost love.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Are you all right?
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Yeah, I'm just a few drinks short of oblivion.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'll tell you what. I'll meet you there.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Hey, pal, we're trying to set a new record.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Set it yourself. The lady's going home.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Mother missed you tonight. She's a tad freaked out.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Freak out? That makes two of us.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25DEX: Oh!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Come on, dear, we're going home.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Professor Cornell?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Er, Miss...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Fuller, Sydney Fuller.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Isn't it awful about Nick Lang? What a shock.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Yeah, just one of many.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I know. It's just terrible.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Something I can do?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Will you have a drink with me?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13OK.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Oh, a martini?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Mm-hmm.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21First one?
0:26:21 > 0:26:26# Too much, not enough... #
0:26:44 > 0:26:48OK, I give up. Where did the female reindeer go?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Oh God, Eddie.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You have hit rock bottom on that one,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58but I still love you.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59See you next week. Bye.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Where did the female reindeer go?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Oh, you don't want to know.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Oh, my God. Am I where I think I am?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Freshman girls' dorm.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Does this get worse? What happened?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Don't you remember? You were amazing.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Oh, no!
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Can't handle praise?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I can't handle prison.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I'm over 18.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33The mere fact that you have to mention that
0:27:33 > 0:27:37means I better get dressed and haul my ass...
0:27:37 > 0:27:40I was amazing fully dressed?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Guess I had you going there, huh?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50Now wait a minute. I seem to remember a lot of drinks, a lot of bars.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52A pass being made?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Yeah, I made the pass. Incomplete.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56You were gracious about turning me down.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00You said I was pretty, you said I was smart.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You said something about rules and ethics,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06professors and co-eds... something about alcohol impeding performance.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09All the while, trying to make a graceful exit.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Yeah, but I didn't exit.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12No, you passed out.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Diet Sprite?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Thank you.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19This boyfriend of yours -
0:28:19 > 0:28:21jealous type?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Huh? - The phone.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26That's my brother Eddie. He called with his annual Christmas joke.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Hey, Syd. >
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Syd, want to hit the gym?
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Barb, don't you knock?
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Oh...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Guess you've already exercised.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Sorry. This room is strategically located next to the fire stairs.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44Let yourself out. I have trig across the quad in five.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47It was fun, Professor.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Dex.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Dex...
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I guess I'll see you in class then, Dex.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Barb?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I don't believe you!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I'm trapped in a girls' dormitory
0:29:02 > 0:29:06with creatures called Barb.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Gail?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Hi, Dex.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Hi.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31How are you?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33'I'm OK.'
0:29:33 > 0:29:38Elaine gave me some pills.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Look, Gail, I'm a little off balance right now,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46but I am sorry.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48'Dex, I'm sorry for the way you found out.'
0:29:48 > 0:29:52There was nothing vindictive in it. I never told anybody.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I guess I was a little embarrassed.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00He was so young.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Yeah.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06'I didn't find out till later that he was one of your students.'
0:30:06 > 0:30:11Boy, some shrink would have a field day with this one, huh?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13'He reminded me so much of you at that age.'
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Remember?
0:30:16 > 0:30:20You mean the little place we had off campus?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I tried to write,
0:30:22 > 0:30:25'and you tried to make Spam taste even more delicious.'
0:30:25 > 0:30:27You did write.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31'You were full of passion and purpose.'
0:30:31 > 0:30:33You mean like Nick Lang?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36'That wasn't love, Dex.'
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yeah.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42He just made me feel like I haven't felt in a long time.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Dex, there was no reason.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50'Look, Gail.'
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I'm coming over there, Gail.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55That's not a good idea, Dex.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Listen...
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Come by tonight.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04I'll go out for a bit. It'll be easier.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06You've got to sign those papers.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10And you left your briefcase here.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19I'll leave it by the tree, OK?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23I don't think you should be alone right now, Gail.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Please. Please don't come over.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I love you.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I know, Dex.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50'I know.'
0:32:52 > 0:32:54This is no hangover.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Dex? Are you all right?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35What's taking so long?
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I just got this back. Take a look at this. It's very strange.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42It's radium chloride.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Are you absolutely sure about this?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Yes, positive. Toxicology ran through these twice
0:33:48 > 0:33:50and confirmed the results.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Sorry you had to wait so long.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I'm feeling a lot better. What's up, Doc?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Sit down, Dex, please.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12What's that?
0:34:12 > 0:34:13It's a sample.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Do I have to drink that?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17No, Dex, you already did.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20We ran the test twice.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22What is that?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25A toxic luminous solution - it's in your system.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Too much tuna fish?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's poison, Dex.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Bullshit, Elaine. I drank too much and I feel like shit.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35I came to see my doctor...
0:34:35 > 0:34:38It's been in you at least 12 hours.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41We found toxic traces. Our chief resident reviewed the results.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42How did it get there?
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Your body's alcohol content suggests you got it in some liquor.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Are you going to give me a stomach pump or something?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52What?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55You got an antidote for it?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57This will help you.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Thank God I came to see you, Elaine. I thought I had the flu.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08There won't be permanent damage from this, will there?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12I've given you some sodium amytal to help relax you.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Dex, this poison has been absorbed into your system.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Even if there were an antidote, it's too late for it.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29"Too late" meaning what?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34There's nothing we can do.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43How long?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47It depends on how much was ingested, systemic conditions of...
0:35:47 > 0:35:49How long?!
0:35:52 > 0:35:5324 hours - no more than 48.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58It's a mistake. A fucking stupid mistake.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00I wish it were.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02I need a drink.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Of course.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07I've arranged a room for you here. You'll be comfortable.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I guess the police should be notified.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Aw, shit!
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Come on.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Gail.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11Gail?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Gail!
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Gail! Gail!
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Gail!
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Gail!
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Gail!
0:38:56 > 0:38:59ELAINE: Look, I gave him a sedative. That's why he passed out.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03ULMER: I see. We'll call you if we need you.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08We found this in your wife's hand.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13We're guessing the rest of it is this pile of ash here.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15A little too hot to be roasting chestnuts.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Here.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Come on, you and the wife had a tiff about the boyfriend yesterday.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34You found love letters, tried to burn them.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Wrong. - She tried to stop you,
0:39:36 > 0:39:37only saved this much.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Things got out of hand.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Nothing got out of hand.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Just decking the halls?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I told you why I came here.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45To talk to Gail.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Tell her what?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49That I'd been a bastard.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Tell her or show her?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54To apologise to her.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59And to say goodbye.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Quite a send-off.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Is that the best your prosaic, petty little mind can come up with?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08It's a prosaic, petty little world.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11If I was lopping off corners of a jealous triangle
0:40:11 > 0:40:14it would have been Nick Lang.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15That was the next question.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17That's why we're here -
0:40:17 > 0:40:19to question your wife about Lang's death.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Heard it came as a shock to her.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23What are you saying?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Nick Lang didn't jump. He was pushed.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27A lot of scuff marks on the roof.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Nicky dragged his heels about going over.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33His apartment got broken into sometime yesterday afternoon.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35What's that have to do with anything?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Not sure. Nothing seems stolen.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Maybe someone was looking for him.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Maybe someone found him.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43HAL: Dex was in the office.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Did you see him there?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48This is bullshit.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51HAL: Come on. At the time of Nick's death
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Dex didn't know they were having an affair.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55So he tells you.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57It's true.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Stopped by for a little Christmas cheer yesterday, didn't you?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02What if I did?
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Jealous husband pushes Nicky off the roof,
0:41:06 > 0:41:10so angry wife serves him a Christmas Mickey.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Next morning, he wakes up with a tummy ache
0:41:11 > 0:41:15so he gets a check-up and finds out he was murdered.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18So he drops by for one last bang-up marital spat.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Murdered?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Thematically, a little dated.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26But the prose style holds up.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28What do you mean, murdered?
0:41:28 > 0:41:31That stuff you swallowed. That's not easy to get.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Somebody took a lot of trouble getting it.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34It's true, Dex.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You ran out before we could talk.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39ULMER: There's a variation on the theme.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Lang poisoned you, you killed them both.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44BROCKTON: Or they wanted to kill you,
0:41:44 > 0:41:47you wanted to kill them. Everybody wins.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48ULMER: Or everybody loses.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I told you who killed Gail.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Oh, right. The invisible man.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I didn't see him, but he was here, idiot.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Careful, Cornell, you're upset.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00You're damn right I'm upset.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02I'm a murder victim and suspect all in one day.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04He needs a hospital.
0:42:04 > 0:42:05First we read him his rights.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Cornell's under arrest.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10This will ease the pain, Dex.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Careful!
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Get back!
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Easy, Dex. Jesus.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17You're getting off to a fine start.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Resisting arrest and now taking a hostage.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Sorry, don't have time to stand trial.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23You're in deep. Hold it!
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Stay out!
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Think it over, Cornell. Just come out here.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Back off.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33For Christ's sake, back off!

0:43:25 > 0:43:26God, you scared me.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28What are you doing here?
0:43:28 > 0:43:30I needed to see you.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Yeah? OK, OK.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35One minute. One sec, here.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37OK.
0:43:37 > 0:43:38Oh, yeah.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41It's kind of stupid - Freudian slip.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42Get it?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44It's for tonight's carnival.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47It was either this or Pavlov's dog.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49Why did you murder me?
0:43:49 > 0:43:51What are you talking about?
0:43:51 > 0:43:53You tell me, "Sydney with a Y."
0:43:53 > 0:43:55You sit in my class anonymously for months.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Suddenly you announce you're my biggest fan.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01You ask for my autograph, follow me to a bar.
0:44:01 > 0:44:02I went with a friend.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04You had a plan.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06I wouldn't call it a plan.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08What would you call it?
0:44:08 > 0:44:09A crush.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Yesterday you pop up all over my life.
0:44:12 > 0:44:13Today I have no life.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17What are you talking about? Please, stop it.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20Oh! Oh!
0:44:46 > 0:44:49OK, OK. I wasn't thinking too clearly.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53And a few hours ago
0:44:53 > 0:44:56my wife was murdered right in front of me eyes.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59So you'll have to forgive me.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01I've never been poisoned before.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05Don't worry. I don't think you did it.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09But you are my link to last night.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12So we're going to retrace our steps. Where we sat.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15We? No. Wait a minute.
0:45:15 > 0:45:16I need your help.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19I can't help my mother fold clothes. You need the police.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21I've already had the police.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25They think I killed my student and murdered my wife.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27That's just silly, isn't it?
0:45:28 > 0:45:31I'll call the police and vouch for you.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35OK?
0:45:36 > 0:45:39Er, hi. Is this the police?
0:45:39 > 0:45:40I have information...
0:45:40 > 0:45:43No cops.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44Let go of my arm.
0:45:44 > 0:45:45I can't.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Let go! I can't.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Bonds in seconds.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54This is kidnapping, you know?
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Yeah, if I'm lucky they'll give me life.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57Remember this place?
0:45:57 > 0:46:01No, I don't. Let go of my arm or I'm going to scream.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06If I let go of your arm you're really going to scream.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28I'm supposed to be at the carnival tonight.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32Well, excuse me. Dying has kind of fucked up my social calendar, too.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Ain't it a bitch?
0:46:34 > 0:46:36SYDNEY: I'm really sorry.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38I know it's terrible.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41But I just can't handle this.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43I'm scared. I'm confused.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48All right, OK. I'm sorry. That makes two of us.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52And I have to go to the bathroom.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00All right, look.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03We'll go to a men's room.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I'll put you in a stall and stand guard outside the door.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09I'm not walking past ten drunks with their flies open.
0:47:09 > 0:47:10I just won't do it.
0:47:10 > 0:47:14Hey, Freud, you can get me on your couch any day.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16And I'm not sitting on those seats.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20I see the men who use them. I'll use a ladies' room.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22It's not enough I'm wanted for murder.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25I'm going to get hauled in as a pervert.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32I can't go.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Could you talk or something? Make some noise? Just talk?
0:47:35 > 0:47:37You want some snappy patter about death?
0:47:37 > 0:47:40Nature's way of telling you to slow down.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43I don't know if there is life after death
0:47:43 > 0:47:47but I'm taking a change of underwear just in case.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Syd, I'm no good at this.
0:47:49 > 0:47:54I've never really thought about my own extinction.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57You know, it's funny.
0:47:57 > 0:48:01I always thought death was something that happened to other people.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04Older people. Unlucky people.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Not me.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10Not Gail.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I always knew my number was going to come up.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15But not now.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18Dammit... Why?
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Do you have any enemies?
0:48:22 > 0:48:25No, I don't have any enemies.
0:48:31 > 0:48:33What are you doing here?
0:48:33 > 0:48:34I want to see Graham.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37He doesn't want to see you.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39I'll bet.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Dex?
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Surprised to see me up and about?
0:48:43 > 0:48:46What do you want?
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Thought I'd be in some morgue locker? Tag on my toe?
0:48:48 > 0:48:50Calm down.
0:48:52 > 0:48:53I didn't do that.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55You were much more impressive this afternoon
0:48:55 > 0:48:56against a defenceless woman.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58This afternoon?
0:48:58 > 0:48:59I know where you were.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Of course you do. The Milton tutorial.
0:49:02 > 0:49:05Just like every other Friday for the last ten years.
0:49:07 > 0:49:08Is today Friday?
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Who are we going to punch a confession out of now, Dex?
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Got any better ideas?
0:49:22 > 0:49:23Yeah, logic.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27There's got to be a reason for all this.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30My Mark Twain lecture drove some student into a homicidal rage.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Guys like me get killed by muggers...
0:49:32 > 0:49:34run over by cars, maybe.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Nobody plots to kill an English professor.
0:49:36 > 0:49:40We don't inspire that kind of passion.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42The killing didn't start with you.
0:49:42 > 0:49:43Nick Lang.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46Right. Who would want him dead?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49Hey.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Sometimes cops go to the funerals of murder victims.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53What? Wait.
0:49:53 > 0:49:57We're going to the funeral and you think the killer will be there?
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Yeah. Get in.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03There's a hell of a strange story behind that kid.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17DEXTER: This thief breaks into the Fitzwaring house.
0:50:17 > 0:50:18The old man wakes up.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21He comes downstairs, surprises the guy.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23The thief shoots the old man.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25The chauffeur hears all this.
0:50:25 > 0:50:29He runs in, grabs the gun and there's a struggle.
0:50:29 > 0:50:30I can't go in like this.
0:50:30 > 0:50:31What?
0:50:33 > 0:50:35Oh.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39Here.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43This...
0:50:44 > 0:50:46So...there's a struggle?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Yeah. For the gun.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50The gun goes off. It kills the burglar.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52The burglar is Nick's father?
0:50:52 > 0:50:55Yeah. Now, the widow - Mrs Fitzwaring -
0:50:55 > 0:50:57makes a pet charity case out of Nick.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59She put him through college.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01I never heard this.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03It's not exactly something for the yearbook.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06You think this has to do with Nick?
0:51:07 > 0:51:08Hal.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Why are you here? Are you crazy?
0:51:10 > 0:51:11Meet Syd.
0:51:11 > 0:51:14Hi. We're inseparable.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Those two cops are looking for you.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Tweedledum and Tweedledumber?
0:51:19 > 0:51:21You've got to get out of here, man.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23I've got to pay my respects.
0:51:23 > 0:51:24Learn something?
0:51:24 > 0:51:25Yeah, I'm not getting any younger.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Nothing I can do?
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Hey, what's the deal here?
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Will you pay him for me, please?
0:51:33 > 0:51:36A father whose only legacy >
0:51:36 > 0:51:38was the stigma of his terrible crime.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41One would like to think
0:51:41 > 0:51:44that Nick not only found himself here at the school,
0:51:44 > 0:51:47but also that he found a home here.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49And...
0:51:49 > 0:51:54judging by the turnout tonight, I'd say he had.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58It was a pleasure to have Nick in my Shakespeare class.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Perhaps only the bard can explain
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Nick's unexplainable choice.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06"To sue to live, I find I seek to die. >
0:52:06 > 0:52:11"And seeking death, find life. >
0:52:11 > 0:52:13"Let it come on." >
0:52:16 > 0:52:21Miss Fitzwaring, I know you'd like to say a few words.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25Nick would have loved...
0:52:25 > 0:52:27That's the girl in the bar.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29That's Cookie Fitzwaring. She's in my art class.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31My dear, may I?
0:52:31 > 0:52:33You picked the wrong play, Professor.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37You should have quoted from Romeo And Juliet.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38Nick and I...
0:52:38 > 0:52:40We were...
0:53:05 > 0:53:07Oh, shit.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15DEXTER: I know that guy.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17He was in the bar last night.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Your mother's waiting.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32Let her wait.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35You fucked things up royally tonight.
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Don't I always?
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Still a few drinks short of oblivion?
0:53:47 > 0:53:50How's that burn on your hand?
0:53:50 > 0:53:51Jesus, Bernard.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55Your mother wasn't too thrilled about you and Nick, was she?
0:53:55 > 0:53:57I don't think...
0:53:57 > 0:53:58I wouldn't brag about that.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00I loved Nick and he loved me.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02You and a few others.
0:54:02 > 0:54:03What do you know about him?
0:54:03 > 0:54:05I know he was murdered.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08We don't like what you're inferring.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10I think you mean implying.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12When I say something, that's implying.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14How you take it, that's inferring.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17OK, then infer this.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23BERNARD: Cookie!
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Come here. Where are you going?
0:54:39 > 0:54:40DEXTER: Back at the stage.

0:56:10 > 0:56:12Help!

0:57:02 > 0:57:04Syd! Sydney, where are you going?
0:57:04 > 0:57:06Where do you think? To the police.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09Shit. Wait, Sydney.
0:57:09 > 0:57:10Give me a chance.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16I don't get off on this Rambo shit.
0:57:24 > 0:57:28I wanted to spend the night with you - not eternity.
0:57:28 > 0:57:30SIREN WAILS
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Hey, police!
0:57:32 > 0:57:34Syd, no police.
0:57:34 > 0:57:35Wait.
0:57:35 > 0:57:36Wait.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38My God, look at your arm.
0:57:38 > 0:57:39I'm sorry.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Drop dead.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58I didn't mean to say that. I'm sorry.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07So what are you going to do now?
0:58:11 > 0:58:14Find Mrs Fitzwaring and that lunatic daughter of hers.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17What about the chauffeur with the nail gun?
0:58:17 > 0:58:19What have I got to lose?
0:58:21 > 0:58:24I've already screwed up my life by giving up.
0:58:28 > 0:58:29What do you mean?
0:58:32 > 0:58:36I just quit.
0:58:36 > 0:58:39I was a success, and afraid of failing, and I...
0:58:40 > 0:58:42So I just quit.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47I want to help you, Dex.
0:58:47 > 0:58:49You already have.
0:58:50 > 0:58:53I feel really bad. I dragged you too deep into this.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56It's no big deal. You just glued yourself to me.
0:58:56 > 0:58:58You dragged me out half-naked.
0:58:58 > 0:59:01You almost got me shot.
0:59:02 > 0:59:05Most girls wait a lifetime for a date like this.
0:59:16 > 0:59:18I got to go.
0:59:20 > 0:59:22It's getting late.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27I'm not going to see you again, am I?
0:59:39 > 0:59:41Cab!
0:59:46 > 0:59:48Take her to the med centre.
0:59:48 > 0:59:51Wait a minute. You need your jacket.
1:00:20 > 1:00:24BERNARD: Now, don't worry. I'll take care of everything.
1:00:24 > 1:00:25FITZWARING: Don't worry?
1:00:25 > 1:00:27He told you Nick was murdered.
1:00:27 > 1:00:30I didn't let the cat out of the bag?
1:00:30 > 1:00:32What are you doing here?
1:00:33 > 1:00:35You.
1:00:35 > 1:00:37Professor Cornell, isn't it?
1:00:37 > 1:00:41It was your wife who fell apart at the art gallery.
1:00:41 > 1:00:44And your Cookie who crumbled at the service.
1:00:44 > 1:00:47It seems they both had a bad case of young Mr Lang.
1:00:47 > 1:00:49What do you know about Nick?
1:00:49 > 1:00:51What do you think I know?
1:00:56 > 1:00:58Cookie!
1:01:00 > 1:01:03I hope it's just you that's loaded.
1:01:03 > 1:01:04What are you doing?
1:01:04 > 1:01:05What did you do, Mother?
1:01:05 > 1:01:07What have you told her?
1:01:07 > 1:01:08Enough.
1:01:08 > 1:01:11And it all makes sense, too.
1:01:11 > 1:01:13She forced Nick to stop seeing me.
1:01:13 > 1:01:18So Nick was worthy of your charity, but wasn't worthy of your daughter?
1:01:18 > 1:01:21She considered Nick too good for me.
1:01:21 > 1:01:22You're so wrong.
1:01:22 > 1:01:26No, I saw the way that you used to look at him.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29Your little diamond in the rough.
1:01:29 > 1:01:32You didn't want anyone else interested in him.
1:01:32 > 1:01:35You were always jealous of us.
1:01:35 > 1:01:36Cookie, no.
1:01:36 > 1:01:40She nearly flew into a rage when she found out we'd slept together.
1:01:40 > 1:01:42Cookie! Stop this!
1:01:42 > 1:01:44See what I man?
1:01:44 > 1:01:45Please...
1:01:45 > 1:01:47I wouldn't do anything just to hurt you.
1:01:47 > 1:01:51But you did hurt me. Why couldn't he see me?
1:01:51 > 1:01:54Whatever I did, Cookie, I did for you.
1:01:54 > 1:01:58And Nick. Believe me, he could never love you.
1:01:58 > 1:02:01Not the way that you wanted him to.
1:02:01 > 1:02:02Not the way you wanted.
1:02:04 > 1:02:06So you had him killed.
1:02:06 > 1:02:07You!
1:02:09 > 1:02:11Cookie!
1:02:11 > 1:02:12Come back!
1:02:22 > 1:02:25Don't fuck with me, Bernard. I've had a rough day.
1:02:25 > 1:02:27All right.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32Then have a little lie-down.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40FITZWARING: It's all such a mess.
1:02:40 > 1:02:42BERNARD: I won't leave a trace.
1:02:42 > 1:02:46We don't even know if he can prove anything. Or if he knows anything.
1:02:46 > 1:02:49Couldn't we just call the police? Say there was a burglary...
1:02:49 > 1:02:50We've already used that story.
1:02:50 > 1:02:53Whether he can prove anything or not,
1:02:53 > 1:02:56we don't want the police snooping into your past. Or Nick's.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58It will be simple...
1:02:58 > 1:03:01Don't tell me, just do it. And bring Cookie back.
1:03:01 > 1:03:04In her state, she's liable to say anything to anybody.
1:03:04 > 1:03:06How do you know that Nick was murdered?
1:03:06 > 1:03:08I'm psychic.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11Then you know what will to happen to you.
1:03:20 > 1:03:26It's so sick. Dragon lady wipes out her rivals.
1:03:26 > 1:03:28Why me?
1:03:30 > 1:03:33I mean, I can almost understand Gail.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36Gail...
1:03:38 > 1:03:39Why me?
1:03:39 > 1:03:40What are you talking about?
1:03:40 > 1:03:45Come on. Can't you grant a dying man his last wish?
1:03:45 > 1:03:48Where do I fit into Mrs Fitzwaring's psychodrama?
1:03:48 > 1:03:51Heat getting to you, old chum? You're babbling.
1:03:58 > 1:03:59DEXTER: We're on campus.
1:03:59 > 1:04:01BERNARD: A in geography.
1:04:01 > 1:04:03How's your archaeology?
1:04:03 > 1:04:04What?
1:04:04 > 1:04:08Thought the tar pit might interest an old fossil like yourself.
1:04:08 > 1:04:10Nothing personal.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15What the fuck?
1:04:24 > 1:04:26Happy hour!
1:04:26 > 1:04:28Care for a cocktail?
1:04:28 > 1:04:31BERNARD: Drinking and driving don't mix.
1:04:31 > 1:04:34I was trying to kill you, pencil neck.
1:04:38 > 1:04:39Stay away from me.
1:04:39 > 1:04:41Stay away from me!
1:04:43 > 1:04:45COOKIE: You can't make me go back there.
1:04:45 > 1:04:47Don't piss about. Just get in the car.
1:04:47 > 1:04:48Let me go!
1:04:51 > 1:04:52All right.
1:04:58 > 1:05:00What are you doing here?
1:05:00 > 1:05:02I'm taking him to the police after I take you home.
1:05:04 > 1:05:05You're not taking me home.
1:05:05 > 1:05:08He's not taking me to the police, either.
1:05:08 > 1:05:10Cork it, or else. You'll kill me?
1:05:10 > 1:05:13Cornell, I'm tired of your crap.
1:05:13 > 1:05:15Is something burning?
1:05:15 > 1:05:17What are you doing?
1:05:50 > 1:05:51Fuck!
1:05:54 > 1:05:56Payback time, Bernard!
1:05:56 > 1:05:58DEXTER: Look out, damn it.
1:06:11 > 1:06:13BERNARD: Stop, Cookie!
1:06:13 > 1:06:16COOKIE: What are you doing?
1:06:28 > 1:06:30Cookie!
1:06:32 > 1:06:34God! Cookie!
1:08:52 > 1:08:54CARNIVAL MUSIC
1:09:09 > 1:09:10LAUGHTER
1:09:10 > 1:09:12Look at this jerk.
1:09:12 > 1:09:14Geez.
1:09:14 > 1:09:16The guy's drunk.
1:09:23 > 1:09:26Drunken asshole. Want some popcorn?
1:09:26 > 1:09:28A little beer?
1:09:35 > 1:09:38Leave him alone!
1:09:48 > 1:09:51Maybe he's hurt.
1:09:51 > 1:09:53I'm going to call an ambulance.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12You didn't have to do that, Syd.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19So I was just supposed to let them make a popcorn ball out of you?
1:10:19 > 1:10:23Mmm, not bad.
1:10:23 > 1:10:27You know, my mother... she used to trim the tree with this stuff.
1:10:28 > 1:10:31I guess nobody does that any more.
1:10:31 > 1:10:34Mine does.
1:10:35 > 1:10:37Are you going home for Christmas?
1:10:37 > 1:10:39Mm-hmm.
1:10:39 > 1:10:41Where's home?
1:10:41 > 1:10:44Kansas.
1:10:44 > 1:10:46Kansas?
1:10:48 > 1:10:51What do you do for Christmas in Kansas?
1:10:51 > 1:10:53The whole clan gathers.
1:10:53 > 1:10:55We haven't seen each other in a year.
1:10:55 > 1:10:59So we plop down in front of the television set
1:10:59 > 1:11:03and we watch Miracle On 34th Street for the 34th time.
1:11:03 > 1:11:04Great.
1:11:06 > 1:11:08And what else?
1:11:11 > 1:11:14And...
1:11:14 > 1:11:17We all give each other presents that we don't need.
1:11:18 > 1:11:21And, if we need them, then they're all the wrong size.
1:11:23 > 1:11:25Pretty awful, huh?
1:11:30 > 1:11:31Pretty nice.
1:11:36 > 1:11:38It will be good to see Eddie.
1:11:38 > 1:11:39Your brother?
1:11:39 > 1:11:40Mm-hmm.
1:11:41 > 1:11:43Oh, yeah.
1:11:43 > 1:11:45Where Do the female reindeer go?
1:11:46 > 1:11:49Oh, no. No.
1:11:49 > 1:11:51Come on.
1:11:56 > 1:11:58Where do all the female reindeer go
1:11:58 > 1:12:01when Santa and the male reindeer are out on Christmas Eve?
1:12:05 > 1:12:07They go into town and they blow a few bucks.
1:12:20 > 1:12:24I'm so scared for you.
1:12:24 > 1:12:27Oh...
1:12:27 > 1:12:30It'll be a breeze.
1:12:30 > 1:12:33First million years go like that.
1:12:33 > 1:12:35Second million...
1:12:37 > 1:12:39It's just so unfair.
1:12:39 > 1:12:42No, it's fair.
1:12:42 > 1:12:45I've been dead for four years now.
1:12:45 > 1:12:47Gail was right.
1:12:47 > 1:12:50Just took a little poisoning to notice.
1:12:52 > 1:12:54You're more alive than anybody I ever met.
1:12:54 > 1:12:57No, Syd.
1:12:57 > 1:13:01I forgot how to appreciate life.
1:13:02 > 1:13:04It's too late for me.
1:13:07 > 1:13:10This is life.
1:13:10 > 1:13:13Right here.
1:13:13 > 1:13:16Right now.
1:13:16 > 1:13:18Take it.
1:13:29 > 1:13:31Please.
1:14:43 > 1:14:46'Ten-4, en route.'
1:14:46 > 1:14:48Check it out.
1:15:02 > 1:15:04DEXTER: I don't know what the cops told you,
1:15:04 > 1:15:06but I didn't kill Cookie.
1:15:06 > 1:15:11Bernard did. Didn't mean to.
1:15:11 > 1:15:13People just had this habit of dying around Bernard.
1:15:13 > 1:15:15Didn't they?
1:15:17 > 1:15:19So it's all come full circle
1:15:19 > 1:15:22right back to your front door, hasn't it?
1:15:22 > 1:15:25No, you brought it to my door.
1:15:25 > 1:15:29You never really knew anything, did you?
1:15:29 > 1:15:33I know you had quite a long hit list.
1:15:33 > 1:15:36We've been at cross-purposes, suspecting each other unjustly.
1:15:36 > 1:15:38I don't believe you.
1:15:38 > 1:15:40Your daughter told me...
1:15:40 > 1:15:41Cookie was wrong!
1:15:43 > 1:15:45I didn't kill Nick.
1:15:45 > 1:15:48I don't believe you!
1:15:48 > 1:15:50I want to know!
1:15:51 > 1:15:54Why were you so obsessed about Cookie and Nick?
1:15:56 > 1:15:58Who was he to you?
1:16:03 > 1:16:05My son.
1:16:07 > 1:16:09Cookie never knew.
1:16:09 > 1:16:12But Nick's father...
1:16:14 > 1:16:16the man who killed your husband...
1:16:16 > 1:16:18Also my husband.
1:16:18 > 1:16:22Abandoned along with Nick 20 years ago.
1:16:24 > 1:16:26I don't know how he found me after all those years,
1:16:26 > 1:16:29but he was here that night four years ago
1:16:29 > 1:16:30together with Fitzwaring.
1:16:30 > 1:16:33I asked him what he wanted.
1:16:33 > 1:16:34He said not much,
1:16:34 > 1:16:39considering what my other husband had to give.
1:16:39 > 1:16:42Lang had told Fitzwaring all about me.
1:16:42 > 1:16:44There was a scene -
1:16:44 > 1:16:47ugly words like "bigamy" and "blackmail."
1:16:49 > 1:16:52Fitzwaring told Lang to leave.
1:16:52 > 1:16:54He said Lang wouldn't get a nickel.
1:16:54 > 1:16:57He told me to leave, too, without our daughter.
1:16:57 > 1:17:00He said I would never see Cookie again.
1:17:00 > 1:17:02Understand that what I did
1:17:02 > 1:17:05I did for my daughter...
1:17:05 > 1:17:06and my son.
1:17:11 > 1:17:13Bernard understood.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16He told the police a prowler had broken in,
1:17:16 > 1:17:19had shot Fitzwaring, attacked me.
1:17:19 > 1:17:24Then Bernard and the prowler struggled for the gun.
1:17:24 > 1:17:26It went off.
1:17:26 > 1:17:29That was our story.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34Nick was my son.
1:17:34 > 1:17:36Although he could never know I was his mother,
1:17:36 > 1:17:38I wanted him near me.
1:17:40 > 1:17:42Now he's gone.
1:17:42 > 1:17:45They're all gone.
1:17:45 > 1:17:47There's nothing.
1:17:51 > 1:17:55All this time, the wrong trail.
1:18:07 > 1:18:09GUN CLICKS
1:18:10 > 1:18:13GUNSHOT
1:19:26 > 1:19:28God!
1:19:33 > 1:19:35Goddamn it! Why?
1:21:28 > 1:21:30It's Dex.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35I'm in my office.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37I need you.
1:22:11 > 1:22:12Dex. >
1:22:20 > 1:22:22Hey, Dex.
1:22:29 > 1:22:32Dex, hey.
1:22:33 > 1:22:34Hey, buddy.
1:22:37 > 1:22:40You don't look so good.
1:22:40 > 1:22:42I feel good.
1:22:42 > 1:22:44I'm alive.
1:22:45 > 1:22:48You know, you're never more alive
1:22:48 > 1:22:51than when you're on the edge of death.
1:22:53 > 1:22:55Can't you feel it, Hal?
1:22:57 > 1:22:59I don't feel anything.
1:23:01 > 1:23:03One for the road?
1:23:07 > 1:23:09Merry Christmas!
1:23:19 > 1:23:21No.
1:23:21 > 1:23:23Why?
1:23:23 > 1:23:24Why what?
1:23:24 > 1:23:26Why did you kill me?
1:23:26 > 1:23:28What are you talking about?
1:23:28 > 1:23:30Where did you get the poison?
1:23:38 > 1:23:40I stole it from the med centre.
1:23:40 > 1:23:42The night I was there with Elaine,
1:23:42 > 1:23:44playing a little hi-ho, silver.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47She had an emergency call, left the keys.
1:23:47 > 1:23:48Why, goddamn it?
1:23:52 > 1:23:53Out Of Whack.
1:23:53 > 1:23:55What?
1:23:55 > 1:23:58One minute after I give you the Scotch, you say you didn't read it.
1:23:58 > 1:23:59Read what?
1:23:59 > 1:24:01Out Of Whack.
1:24:01 > 1:24:02Nick Lang's novel.
1:24:03 > 1:24:06Well, I'm going to pass it off as my own.
1:24:07 > 1:24:10I have to, man. It's fuckin' brilliant.
1:24:10 > 1:24:13My book...
1:24:13 > 1:24:17My book... Well, everything about it that was good,
1:24:17 > 1:24:20you helped me with.
1:24:20 > 1:24:23I was here last week trying to work on it.
1:24:23 > 1:24:26I see Nick Lang's book sitting on your desk.
1:24:26 > 1:24:29I pick it up, figure I'd get a few laughs
1:24:29 > 1:24:32about how full of shit this kid is.
1:24:34 > 1:24:37Guess I knew what I was going to do before I even got to the last page.
1:24:46 > 1:24:48What's so funny?
1:24:55 > 1:24:56What's so funny?
1:24:56 > 1:24:59That's what all this is about.
1:24:59 > 1:25:01Some kid's lousy homework?
1:25:01 > 1:25:04No. I just told you. It's not lousy.
1:25:04 > 1:25:07It's one of the best damned books I ever read.
1:25:08 > 1:25:10That's why I had to do it.
1:25:10 > 1:25:12Not that I was sure I could.
1:25:12 > 1:25:14I mean, Lang was easy.
1:25:14 > 1:25:17Smug little shit!
1:25:17 > 1:25:18Light as a feather.
1:25:18 > 1:25:20Just up and over...
1:25:20 > 1:25:22and bon voyage!
1:25:24 > 1:25:26But you...
1:25:26 > 1:25:27In the john the other day
1:25:27 > 1:25:30I wasn't worried about any damned promotion.
1:25:30 > 1:25:32Why Gail?
1:25:32 > 1:25:35She had nothing to do with this. Why did you have to kill her?
1:25:35 > 1:25:40That was your fault. I got all the copies out of Lang's apartment.
1:25:40 > 1:25:42I put your copy in the damn garbage.
1:25:42 > 1:25:45You picked it up, you put in your briefcase.
1:25:45 > 1:25:47And left it at Gail's.
1:25:47 > 1:25:49I guess so. I saw it there when Elaine and I took her home.
1:25:49 > 1:25:53So, you burn it.
1:25:53 > 1:25:56She tried to stop you.
1:25:56 > 1:26:00You bludgeoned her, freshened up,
1:26:00 > 1:26:03then went out for a night on the theatre with a nail gun.
1:26:03 > 1:26:04I thought you found something out.
1:26:04 > 1:26:06Don't you see?
1:26:06 > 1:26:09I had to make sure nobody knew so that it can be mine -
1:26:09 > 1:26:11so that everybody knows that that book is mine.
1:26:11 > 1:26:13That was worth somebody's life?
1:26:13 > 1:26:14Yeah, my life.
1:26:14 > 1:26:17Why should that kid have all the breaks and not me?
1:26:17 > 1:26:20Jesus, Dex. He was fucking your wife for Christ's sake.
1:26:20 > 1:26:22You should be glad that I killed him.
1:26:22 > 1:26:26So... Who you going to kill for your second novel?
1:26:26 > 1:26:28All I need is just that one bullshit break.
1:26:28 > 1:26:32After this book comes out, I can publish any damn thing I want.
1:26:32 > 1:26:35You can bet I'm not going to rest on my laurels like you did.
1:26:35 > 1:26:36Well, at least they were my laurels.
1:26:38 > 1:26:40Why does it come so easy to guys like you?
1:26:40 > 1:26:43Big Dex just cruises in here,
1:26:43 > 1:26:46to help poor little Hal on his outline,
1:26:46 > 1:26:50then waltzes out. You don't have a fucking clue how hard it is for me -
1:26:50 > 1:26:52how much I struggled. I'm going to have my shot.
1:26:52 > 1:26:54I'm going to know what it feels like.
1:26:54 > 1:26:56< No. You'll never know.
1:26:56 > 1:26:59That feeling doesn't come from money.
1:26:59 > 1:27:01It doesn't come from fame.
1:27:01 > 1:27:04It comes from doing the work, Hal.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06From realising a vision.
1:27:06 > 1:27:10You think you can steal somebody's passion? You just got paper and ink.
1:27:10 > 1:27:12Passion?
