0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Good morning. You are Mr.. - Dark.

0:06:28 > 0:06:33- Daniel Dark. Extensive lesions. - Temperature through the roof.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Difficult case. We moved him after several disruptive outbursts.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39How long have you had psoriatic arthropathy?

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Um, are you experiencing some kind of visual dislocations?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Mind tricks?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Yesterday, he said there was a dog in the bed, chewing his ankles.

0:07:29 > 0:07:34OK. Things are not good here. Um, how do you feel about...?

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Mr...Dark, how do you feel about one of the new retinoids? Hmm?

0:07:39 > 0:07:44It...it wasn't my ankles. It was chewing my balls.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50What I'm asking is if you understand the question.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53No! I don't! Because I have regressed

0:07:53 > 0:07:57into the pathetic condition of total dependency, Doc.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00In short and in the vernacular, I'm a fucking kid again.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Last time I had to endure anything this demeaning was in my baby buggy.

0:08:04 > 0:08:10- I was...drooled over by slobbery cretins...- Dark.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13..from the cuckoo house. Thought they were doctors and nurses.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15LAUGHS

0:08:18 > 0:08:22What, er... What exactly did you, er...

0:08:22 > 0:08:25What did you do for a living, Mr...Dark?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27What DID I do?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'm an author.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Oh. Oh.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- I didn't realise. - Dan Dark.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40Trash that doesn't sell. Detective stories about a gumshoe who warbles.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43That sounds interesting. Um, what does...

0:08:43 > 0:08:45MUMBLES

0:08:45 > 0:08:47- Please! Please. - What is it?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Will you please listen?

0:08:54 > 0:08:58I can't talk when I'm flat out like this. I need...

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Up, to sit up, please.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03You know, I'm on a very tight schedule.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06ELECTRONIC BUZZING

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Listen. Listen!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm no hero and I've reached the end.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Of what? - My tether.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Come on.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'd still like to get out of it, but I can't.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Listen, I can't...I can't stand it.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37I really and truly can't stand it... any more.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41I can't get on top of it. I can't tell what is from what isn't

0:09:41 > 0:09:44and if I don't tell someone...

0:09:44 > 0:09:48If I don't admit it, I'll never get out of it.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51These tears! Those fucking tears!

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh. I'm sorry.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Ooh, the shame.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03The tears. All this oozing...useless liquid.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06It just hurts my...skin...my face

0:10:06 > 0:10:08and...

0:10:08 > 0:10:12..when I laugh it hurts my jaw. I'm a prisoner inside my...

0:10:12 > 0:10:15..my own skin.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Um...he's almost over the edge.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I think that Gibbon should see him.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31'Pretty Nina was full of semen, comma, and bathwater. Period.'

0:12:31 > 0:12:35The pretty head that knew too much is now emptied

0:12:35 > 0:12:37of its last sad, cruel thought. Period.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Lot of products.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Oh, lookie here.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Body cream.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Harem Nights.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Is it done?

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- This for armpits? You beat your meat with this?- Shut up.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Hey. - Shut up!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Just like a dame.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Tough guys don't know Jack.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14They don't know that... vomit's a kind of sick. Period.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21How are we today?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Hmm. I'm not too happy.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- I don't know about him. - What?

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Or maybe I mean you. - What do you mean?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Well, "How are we today?"

0:13:36 > 0:13:40You say we. Who's the other guy?

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- It's just a way of speaking. - Yeah, it's the medical way.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Assume loss of health means loss of brain cells.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Do you think you have a positive attitude?

0:13:51 > 0:13:54LAUGHS

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Don't! You crack me up.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59SIGHS Well, that depends on whether

0:13:59 > 0:14:01we're talking doughnuts you dunk

0:14:01 > 0:14:04or black, feminist lesbians.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'm afraid we're both, up to a point.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- You know, your illness, to a large...- Will I be able to move

0:14:11 > 0:14:15on my own three feet? Will I hold a pen or a tit again?

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Never mind the rhetoric. I can get that from a doctor, Doctor.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25I have seen a lot of patients who are as bad as you,

0:14:25 > 0:14:28but not one of them has reacted with such aggression.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30What do they do? Sing madrigals?

0:14:30 > 0:14:34- They don't act like they've fallen into a sewer.- Ah.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38See, I thought you were pushing tranquillisers.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I didn't realise you had a deodorant to mind.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45- You should take them, you know - the tranquillisers.- No. No.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48No. And no.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52How long are you going to see your plight through a blinding hot rage?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55What do you live by?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57LAUGHS W-What?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Come on.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02All right. It's an embarrassing question,

0:15:02 > 0:15:06but surely there must be something in a time of crisis.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10What do you believe in?

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Genocide.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17- What? - Genocide -

0:15:17 > 0:15:21starting in Los Angeles and working its way eastward.

0:15:21 > 0:15:26I believe in so many things - infanticide, insecticide,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29c-c-cyanide, s-s-suicide.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31AIDS.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33OK. All right. OK.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38I put my faith in cholesterol, caffeine, nicotine,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41alcohol, President Bush, carbon monoxide,

0:15:41 > 0:15:46masturbation, nuclear first strike, the Reader's Digest and...

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Ah! Properly labellling poisons.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52- Are you done? - But most of all, Doc,

0:15:52 > 0:15:58I believe in the one good thing that hurtles out of people's mouths.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00GROWLS Vomit!

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Puke. The Technicolour yawn.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Cookie dough! - There is a good man here.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12- He's new. He's very alert and sympathetic. Doctor Gibbon.- Doctor?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Of what? Skin, joints, zoology?

0:16:18 > 0:16:22- He's a psychotherapist. - GO FUCK YOURSELF!

0:16:28 > 0:16:31You will never get on top of your condition

0:16:31 > 0:16:34until you deal with your bitterness.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Start over. Reassemble yourself.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Reassemble myself?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52From what?

0:16:54 > 0:16:58# Many a tear has to fall

0:17:00 > 0:17:03# But it's all

0:17:03 > 0:17:05# In the game

0:17:09 > 0:17:11# All in the wonderful game

0:17:12 > 0:17:16# That we know

0:17:16 > 0:17:18# As love

0:17:22 > 0:17:25# You have words

0:17:25 > 0:17:27# With him

0:17:28 > 0:17:31# And your future's

0:17:31 > 0:17:35# Looking dim... #

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Sorry, guys. I need five.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41But you're breaking my heart.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46- See you 'gators later. BAND:- In a while, reptile.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Dan Dark.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Is it you? The guy I've waited for ever since sax invented the phone?

0:18:04 > 0:18:10The big cheese with the fat contract who loves the way I tickle a tune?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Sorry, no. - That's right, trouble.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22I get the cases the polite guys pass.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26I get the jobs the guys who don't sing don't get. What's the story?

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Who's the dame? - How do you know there's a dame?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32There's always a dame.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41There's always a dame.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Am I right or am I right?

0:18:43 > 0:18:47There's always the money, too.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Talking to yourself again?

0:18:54 > 0:18:59I had on my best pyjamas with red stripes and blue forget-me-nots.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03I was powdered up to the armpits with talc between each toe.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06A million bucks was about to call.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08I was ready for it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11I see.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13High temperature again?

0:19:13 > 0:19:17When she moved her lips, I felt like a tulip in the dry season

0:19:17 > 0:19:21when the first raindrops smacked into it. I've decided to open up.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Boy, was I green...or do I mean wet?

0:22:50 > 0:22:54We don't have to talk about it, do we?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58No.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00They say she was with me, but I swear to God...

0:23:00 > 0:23:05- Swear to something you believe in, boy.- I swear on my mother's grave.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Nina left me unharmed.- That her name? The whore?- Why call her that?

0:23:09 > 0:23:13Dog shit by another name smells just as foul, pal,

0:23:13 > 0:23:17and it sticks to the bottom of your shoe no matter what you call it.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20It's nasty. Do you want me to clean it up?

0:23:20 > 0:23:24Find out what happened and prove nothing happened to her cos of me.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- But it did. - What?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Wouldn't that be the way her mother would see it?

0:23:31 > 0:23:36- Her mother?- You just swore on your mother's grave, Mr Binney.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40I'm not hiring you for a mouthful of humbug, Mr Dark!

0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Argh!- Maybe the cops are fixing a fire, Binney.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Maybe you're playing some deeper game.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- You're not a nice guy, Dark. - Ah, but you'll pay me, Binney.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55You'll pay me double for the humbug.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59'Period. Part of the service. Period.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01'End paragraph.'

0:24:24 > 0:24:28- All right. So, er, you're gonna wait for the man, right?- Yeah. All right.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51My book.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53What's it doing here?

0:24:53 > 0:24:55What's going on?

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Your book, Mr Dark.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Happened to pick up a copy the other day.- Oh, yeah?

0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Where? Fertiliser factory?- He said, out of the side of his mouth.

0:25:07 > 0:25:12- Gibbon. How are you, Mr Dark? - Can't...shake.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Oh, yes, of course. - I wouldn't if I could.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- I'm here under protest. - I see.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21A kidnap.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29Little men shouldn't sit where their feet don't touch the floor.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32It makes me think of nursery rhymes.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38- You don't wanna see me? - What sharpness(!) What perception(!)

0:25:38 > 0:25:42And you don't like it at all that I've got this.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46- It's full of clues. - No. It's full of pages.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50Clues are what you're supposed to find in a detective story.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Am I right or am I right?

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Jesus, you're good.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00I know clues are supposed to lead you to the killer but, er,

0:26:00 > 0:26:04don't they reveal the victim a little more clearly?

0:26:04 > 0:26:07You think you're being interesting, don't you?

0:26:07 > 0:26:11If this was a movie, it would be on the cutting-room floor.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Does your book worry you?- I wanna go to my bed. It's vivid and exciting.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Well, you don't have many visitors. - Ooh.

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Does your wife come and visit you or do you stop her?

0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I'm not married. Period. - Right. Yes, I see.

0:26:31 > 0:26:36Stop it! Stop staring at me. Have you never seen a human pizza before?

0:26:37 > 0:26:40You... You don't like women, do you?

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Which ones? Young ones, old ones, fat ones, faithful ones?

0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Virgins, whores? Try and be specific, Doc.- Maybe you think you like 'em,

0:26:50 > 0:26:54but, er, my guess is, you don't like sex.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59How do you spell that? That's not a word you see much nowadays.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02You probably think you do. Sex.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06You probably think about it all the time. I know I do.

0:27:06 > 0:27:11If I say fuck you, does that mean yes?

0:27:13 > 0:27:19Well, isn't it clear you regard sexual intercourse with distaste,

0:27:19 > 0:27:22- or...perhaps even a little fear? - SCOFFS

0:27:22 > 0:27:25What, am I trapped in here with a fruitcake?

0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Here, for example, on page 116.- This is against the Geneva Convention.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- I'll read you a passage out of your own book.- No!

0:28:25 > 0:28:27I was just collecting raindrops.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35See, the skin is very personal.

0:28:39 > 0:28:42erupted onto the surface of the skin.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57Yes, I think you know that, or at least, part of you does.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01- You can be helped. - Yeah, with a Mickey Finn.

0:29:02 > 0:29:06- Now, why mimic that stuff? - What stuff?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13I'm sorry. What kinda stuff?

0:29:15 > 0:29:21My feeling is that, er, after I've read some of your prose...

0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Ho-ho. Hee-hee.- You didn't start out to write in this way.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33- What would you have preferred to have written?- If I had the talent?

0:29:33 > 0:29:35No, of course I don't mean that.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39No. Go ahead. Be a critic. You got the face for it.

0:29:39 > 0:29:44If you like, all right. Er, if you had the talent...?

0:29:44 > 0:29:48If I had the talent, one-liners for Michael Jackson.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52Two-liners for Helen Keller, if it wouldn't be stretching her too much.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Maybe traffic citations for Ted Kennedy. Who knows?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58It's just one word after another.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02All the problems of the world start with the next goddamn word.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05- It's not incriminating. - What isn't?

0:30:05 > 0:30:09Telling me what you would prefer to write.

0:30:16 > 0:30:21I'd like to praise the loving God and all his loving creation.

0:40:04 > 0:40:08- This is OK. - Oh. You do, don't you? Severe ones.

0:40:09 > 0:40:13There's no doubt that as a result, your perceptions are distorted.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17Yeah. I can see around corners and right up your hairy little...

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Not to mention that ugly temper.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21MUMBLES

0:40:23 > 0:40:25Hmm.

0:40:25 > 0:40:30What do you think? Do you think it's time you went back to work again?

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Tell me how, Doctor Do-Nothing.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37I never write anything down myself. I dictate. Have you tried it?

0:40:37 > 0:40:40With whom? Question mark.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42Oh, there are people.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Agencies. - Somebody being getting to you?

0:40:45 > 0:40:50- What do you mean?- Has a certain whore of my former acquaintance

0:40:50 > 0:40:54been pushing her hard little nose into my affairs?

0:40:55 > 0:40:59Mr Dark... do you plan to get better?

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Hmm?

0:41:03 > 0:41:05Chronic illness is a shelter.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11A cave in the rocks, into which a wounded spirit can safely crawl.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Some cave.- Oh, no. Not very comfortable. Not at all.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16There are bats in it.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21Squeaking rodents with wings of skin and fur,

0:41:21 > 0:41:25that hang upside down, crunching beetles in their teeth.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29- But you know all about that. You know about bats.- Shut up, shrimp!

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- You turned. You turned! - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:41:32 > 0:41:34I did.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Not now.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Who was that? - Uh?

0:41:41 > 0:41:44What's that? That's progress, Mr Dark.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Who knows how far it can go?

0:41:47 > 0:41:49What, from the neck down, you mean?

0:41:49 > 0:41:52If you're thinking the other way around,

0:41:52 > 0:41:58- if you wanna get inside my head, you better forget it.- Oh. Good.

0:42:12 > 0:42:14Wait, can't you?

0:42:14 > 0:42:18- He's asleep. - Who is?

0:42:18 > 0:42:21- My boy. - You mean you've got a kid in here?

0:42:21 > 0:42:23Jesus!

0:42:23 > 0:42:26Listen, doll, when I fuck, I like to make a noise, OK?

0:42:40 > 0:42:43What a disgusting disease.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Gee, thanks.

0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Dan? - Sit down. Sit down. Why not?

0:42:54 > 0:42:58- Keep the laughs coming. - Who's laughing?

0:43:05 > 0:43:09You are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an exceptionally beautiful woman...

0:43:09 > 0:43:12at your peak.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15That sounds like a death sentence.

0:43:15 > 0:43:17It is a death sentence.

0:43:17 > 0:43:21Three months I've been in this fucking bed, you know that?

0:43:21 > 0:43:25Where you been? Who are you? What are you? I don't know.

0:43:25 > 0:43:28I hallucinate now and then. You know what?

0:43:28 > 0:43:32The past, the present. They're all in that cheap old book of mine

0:43:32 > 0:43:34and I didn't even know it.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37- So are you, honey. - Me?- Uh-huh.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39'Nicola.'

0:43:44 > 0:43:47You are a filthy, predatory,

0:43:47 > 0:43:51totally wanton bitch who was always in heat and liked to fuck.

0:43:51 > 0:43:55Don't. Don't nod now. Don't nod ever.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03Whatever I said, I still loved you.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08Liar.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14I have some things to discuss with you.

0:44:14 > 0:44:18There's a film company that wants to buy the rights

0:44:18 > 0:44:20to that first book.

0:44:20 > 0:44:25- What?- The Singing Detective. The one set in the fifties.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28The book you've been talking about.

0:44:28 > 0:44:31- They want it for Roger Rabbit, right? - No.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34They seem, um...

0:44:34 > 0:44:36..keen.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Keen?

0:44:39 > 0:44:42All right, what's this got to do with you?

0:44:42 > 0:44:46You're broke and you haven't written a word for over a year.

0:44:46 > 0:44:51Dan, I just want you to be able to support yourself.

0:44:51 > 0:44:57Oh, God. I see. Baby, baby, still thinks I owe her money.

0:44:57 > 0:45:01- No.- You could work it out at, say, 500 dollars a screw.

0:45:01 > 0:45:04Isn't that a top rate...for hookers?

0:45:06 > 0:45:08Is it? I wouldn't know.

0:45:10 > 0:45:12Who are you sleeping with at the moment?

0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Myself, mostly. - Mostly?

0:45:20 > 0:45:24- Mostly. - Mostly means not always.

0:45:24 > 0:45:27Right, if you want to be precise.

0:45:33 > 0:45:36Dan, you need to function.

0:45:37 > 0:45:41- You just... You need to get... - What happened to the screenplay?

0:45:41 > 0:45:44- What screenplay? - The one in my head.

0:45:44 > 0:45:47What are you talking about?

0:45:47 > 0:45:50That is the worst thing about a detective story - the plot.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54It's the best thing, too. I mean, hell, isn't it the only thing?

0:45:54 > 0:45:57You got to work it out - a rat in a maze.

0:45:57 > 0:46:01- That's what I'm trying to do now. - With a story you've already written.

0:46:04 > 0:46:10- It grows.- How, when you already know what's going to happen?

0:46:10 > 0:46:15Where is it? The fucking screenplay - The Singing Detective!

0:46:15 > 0:46:17- I put in in shoe boxes. - Shoeboxes?

0:46:17 > 0:46:21YES! FUCKING SHOEBOXES!

0:46:24 > 0:46:27Danny.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33SIGHS

0:46:33 > 0:46:36What do I know?

0:46:44 > 0:46:47Dan. You need to write something new.

0:46:47 > 0:46:52Something real. Like this, like everything that's happening now.

0:46:52 > 0:46:57- Not a silly detective story. Something real.- All solutions.

0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Well? - All solutions and no clues, right?

0:47:01 > 0:47:06Cos that's what the dumbheads want. They want a serious novel, right,

0:47:06 > 0:47:08plus descriptions of the goddamn sky.

0:47:10 > 0:47:13I want it the other way around - all clues, no solutions,

0:47:13 > 0:47:17cos that's the way...things are.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19Now...

0:47:23 > 0:47:25..why do you know about this?

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Why do you know? Come on!

0:47:28 > 0:47:32Were you a party to the offer in the first place?

0:47:32 > 0:47:34Tell me what's going on. Tell me!

0:47:36 > 0:47:38TELL ME!

0:47:40 > 0:47:42Paranoia, you know.

0:47:44 > 0:47:48- You fucked 'em. - Dan, stop.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Do you want my help or not?

0:47:51 > 0:47:55- Do I want... Do I want you to help me?- Well, you think on it.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57- You go fuck yourself. - OK.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00I love you, too, Dan.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16'Hey, Binney.

0:48:16 > 0:48:20'Quote. No luck. Period.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22'No good. Period.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25- 'He was getting very suspicious!' - 'No luck. No good.'

0:48:25 > 0:48:28He's getting very suspicious.

0:48:29 > 0:48:33- Try again, right? - I don't know.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35We could be sued for misrepresentation

0:48:35 > 0:48:37- if he doesn't sign. - I'll deliver.

0:48:37 > 0:48:41I said I would. He still looks awful.

0:48:41 > 0:48:46- Don't feel sorry for him.- I hope it goes into his fucking bones!

0:48:48 > 0:48:52You look terrific when you're mad. Like a hornet...

0:48:52 > 0:48:55..drowning in the Tabasco.

0:48:55 > 0:48:59That's something Dan Dark would say. You sound like Dan.

0:49:01 > 0:49:03LAUGHTER

0:49:03 > 0:49:06'Sorry, Charlie.'

0:49:08 > 0:49:11# How much is that doggie in the window?

0:49:11 > 0:49:16# The one with the waggedy tail

0:49:16 > 0:49:18# How much is... #

0:49:18 > 0:49:20# "Poison Ivy" - The Coasters

0:49:24 > 0:49:27# She comes on like a rose

0:49:28 > 0:49:30# But everybody knows

0:49:31 > 0:49:34# She'll get you in Dutch

0:49:34 > 0:49:37# You can look but you better not touch

0:49:37 > 0:49:40# Poison ivy...

0:49:40 > 0:49:43'There are songs to sing and feelings to feel.

0:49:43 > 0:49:48'There are thoughts to think. We can't do three things at once.'

0:49:48 > 0:49:51# ..Arou-ou-ou-ound... #

0:49:51 > 0:49:55'Singing's easy. Sugar on the tongue. Thinking comes with the tune.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58'That leaves only feelings. You're not gonna catch me...

0:49:58 > 0:50:01'feeling feelings.'

0:50:01 > 0:50:04# If you let her get under your skin

0:50:04 > 0:50:07# Poison ivy...

0:50:07 > 0:50:10Watch the light, dickhead.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13# Late at night while you're sleepin'

0:50:13 > 0:50:18# Poison ivy comes a creepin' arou-ou-ou-ou-ound

0:50:18 > 0:50:21# Measles make you bumpy and mumps will make you lumpy

0:50:21 > 0:50:24# And chickenpox will make you jump and twitch

0:50:24 > 0:50:29The guy's a sitting duck. Why here? What's the sense?

0:50:29 > 0:50:33J Edgar H prefers a different kind of tune. What does it matter?

0:50:33 > 0:50:37- But I don't like it. - Stick to Patti Page, huh?

0:50:37 > 0:50:41'Up there with the lights. It's the goons. Watch yourself.

0:50:41 > 0:50:44'Watch!' # The minute you start to mess... #

0:50:45 > 0:50:48SCREAMING

0:51:36 > 0:51:39- How's it going? - Halfway there.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Halfway to a million bucks.

0:51:52 > 0:51:57Disdain. Period.

0:51:59 > 0:52:03- I have some nice things, if that's what you mean.- Nice? How? Expensive.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Our tastes are different.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09You're more at home in...bars and sleazy dancehalls.

0:52:09 > 0:52:14Oh, and the occasional rotary dinner and state prison dance,

0:52:14 > 0:52:16where I don't leave my hat.

0:52:19 > 0:52:22- Pardon?- That's how the cops got onto you, Binney.

0:52:22 > 0:52:26You left your fedora on the bar when you picked up that whore.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32Binney.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38- Money, money, money. - What about it?

0:52:38 > 0:52:42- You got a lot? - I do all right.

0:52:42 > 0:52:45- What at, I'm wondering? - I buy.

0:52:45 > 0:52:49- I sell. - So do second-hand rooms.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52What do you buy? What do you sell?

0:52:52 > 0:52:55- That's my business. - Naked flesh?

0:52:56 > 0:53:00- What?- Oh, yeah. That's what you buy. That's what you sell.

0:53:00 > 0:53:02That's ridiculous. I deal in antiques...

0:53:02 > 0:53:06The only antiques are some of the distinguished gentlemen

0:53:06 > 0:53:10- you service with young girls. - Are you calling me a pimp?

0:53:10 > 0:53:13Yes. You don't mind, do you?

0:53:15 > 0:53:17You're a fantasist, Dark.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24- Get out. Don't let me see you again. - What about my fee?- Fee? What fee?

0:53:24 > 0:53:28It took me five days between my syncopations to figure out

0:53:28 > 0:53:34that you set up that poor girl, Nina. Why, I say to myself, why?

0:53:34 > 0:53:36- Just get out. - Know what I think?

0:53:36 > 0:53:40- She was killed right here in this museum.- You're crazy.

0:53:40 > 0:53:44The cops can be bought and sold, too. Put it back in the drawer.

0:53:44 > 0:53:48- What? - Put it back in the drawer,

0:53:48 > 0:53:52or you'll get a hole in your head where the wind from your ass can go.

0:53:52 > 0:53:55You really are crazy.

0:53:55 > 0:53:58- You're out of your cheap little mind.- Sure.

0:53:58 > 0:54:03Do it. I've been shot at once tonight. That's once too often.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06OK. OK.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Argh!

0:54:13 > 0:54:16Nina - she wasn't one of your commodities, but her friend was.

0:54:16 > 0:54:20That girl they scraped up under the Hollywood sign! Cops said she jumped.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22- It was your pals. - Pals?

0:54:22 > 0:54:27Your pals thought she passed something to Nina. Take no chances.

0:54:27 > 0:54:31Not with you. Am I right or am I right?

0:54:31 > 0:54:36- Now they want me, you slimy slug! - Argh!

0:54:37 > 0:54:39Go on.

0:54:39 > 0:54:43Go on, I enjoy cheap fiction.

0:54:43 > 0:54:46Me? No. I'm no longer in your employ.

0:54:46 > 0:54:51Fee? What fee? You hired me to find out about Nina when you already knew.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53Why? I'll figure it out.

0:54:53 > 0:54:57- And... - And?

0:54:58 > 0:55:00I sing for people who dance, Binney.

0:55:00 > 0:55:04Name your tune, I'll warble it. But when you dance,

0:55:04 > 0:55:09- your feet won't be touching the floor.- You're cheap, Dark.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11Ten cents a dance.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35WHISTLES

0:56:26 > 0:56:27Mr Dark?

0:56:30 > 0:56:34That's my handle. I was born at daybreak.

0:56:34 > 0:56:38- I wanna talk.- You followed me to make sure I wasn't followed. I was.

0:56:38 > 0:56:41Stay back. Keep out of sight.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44Meet me at the Laguna in a half an hour.

0:56:45 > 0:56:48Little fool. GUNSHOT

0:57:03 > 0:57:05GROANS I warned you.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09I told you, baby.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15Aw, gee. Silly.

0:57:15 > 0:57:17Poor little thing.

0:57:17 > 0:57:19Parlo.

0:57:22 > 0:57:27What? You mean the Parlo atomic laboratory? It's in LA.

0:57:28 > 0:57:31Binney. Mark...Binney.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35He's providing them with girls.

0:57:35 > 0:57:38Right? Girls like you.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40Nina?

0:57:41 > 0:57:46- They're rats.- They're getting to the atomic scientists!

0:57:47 > 0:57:50Yes? At Parlo?

0:57:50 > 0:57:52Using sex.

0:57:54 > 0:57:56Sex.

0:58:05 > 0:58:07Sex.

0:58:15 > 0:58:17Sex.

0:58:17 > 0:58:20I'll get ya.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Bastards.

0:58:22 > 0:58:25Whoever you are and whatever you are.

0:58:44 > 0:58:46SOBS

0:58:46 > 0:58:51You're buffeted by this, by that, and it's nothing to do with you.

0:58:51 > 0:58:56Someone you love dies or leaves and you get ill, or you get better,

0:58:56 > 0:59:00and the whole time, everywhere, there's a canopy stretching over it.

0:59:00 > 0:59:03What canopy?

0:59:03 > 0:59:06Fate. Things as they are - irrational...

0:59:07 > 0:59:11..impersonal. The rain falls, the sun shines, the wind blows

0:59:11 > 0:59:14and if you're out there, then that's it.

0:59:16 > 0:59:21- Accident?- Call it what you like. There's damn all you can do about it.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28Well, physically, you're on the up.

0:59:29 > 0:59:33Well, now we have a firm grasp of the obvious.

0:59:33 > 0:59:37Why do you still feel so disappointed in things as they are?

0:59:38 > 0:59:42"Things as they are" are no concern of mine.

0:59:42 > 0:59:46You object to the use of the word "things"?

0:59:46 > 0:59:49- There's a lot of words I don't like. - Such as?

0:59:50 > 0:59:54- Decaffeinated. - Huh.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57- Another. - Oh. Good, good, good.

0:59:57 > 1:00:01- Are you into word games?- Yeah. Word games. I throw you a word...

1:00:01 > 1:00:04- I come back with another word. - That you associate...

1:00:04 > 1:00:10Wait, wait, wait. We gotta agree in advance, it's meaningless. Please.

1:00:10 > 1:00:14- There's no diagnostic value in it. - Fine.

1:00:16 > 1:00:20- Judge. - Er, scandal.

1:00:20 > 1:00:23- Scandals. - Wait.

1:00:23 > 1:00:25- Tables. - Restaurant.

1:01:24 > 1:01:27- Death!- Dark. - STOP!

1:01:33 > 1:01:35This game...

1:01:37 > 1:01:39It's just words, right?

1:01:39 > 1:01:44- That's what we agreed - no diagnostic value.- Just words.

1:01:44 > 1:01:50# Important words

1:01:51 > 1:01:56# Let me lie

1:01:59 > 1:02:01# They say

1:02:01 > 1:02:04# Say

1:02:04 > 1:02:07# I love you

1:02:09 > 1:02:14# Important words

1:02:15 > 1:02:19# That's all I've got

1:02:23 > 1:02:25# They say

1:02:25 > 1:02:27# Say

1:02:27 > 1:02:30# I love you...

1:02:30 > 1:02:33I'll do whatever you want.

1:02:33 > 1:02:35You just have to tell me.

1:02:37 > 1:02:40SCREAMS

1:02:47 > 1:02:50- 'Love.'- 'Fraud.' - 'Passion.'- 'Pretence.'

1:02:50 > 1:02:52- 'Woman.'- 'Fuck!' - 'Fuck.''Dirt.'

1:02:52 > 1:02:57Death. # Since we first held hands

1:02:57 > 1:03:01# Important words

1:03:03 > 1:03:06# They say I love you... Mom?

1:03:10 > 1:03:12Go back to bed.

1:03:12 > 1:03:14# Say

1:03:14 > 1:03:18- Go. - # I do. #

1:03:30 > 1:03:32Why, Mom, why?

1:03:32 > 1:03:35Why what?

1:03:35 > 1:03:38Why are we here?

1:03:39 > 1:03:43- No place else to go. - Did Dad need to go?

1:03:45 > 1:03:49- No, Danny.- Did he? - It was no good there,

1:03:49 > 1:03:52and I...I did something wrong.

1:03:52 > 1:03:54It's no good here.

1:03:54 > 1:03:57I didn't think it would be like this, but...

1:03:57 > 1:03:59We've gotta go back.

1:04:01 > 1:04:03No.

1:04:03 > 1:04:06Why not? Why not?

1:04:06 > 1:04:10It won't always be like this. No, I want you to listen.

1:04:10 > 1:04:13I've got to get a job,

1:04:13 > 1:04:15- but I will... - Mom, you're lying!

1:04:15 > 1:04:18BOTH SHOUT

1:04:18 > 1:04:21- Will you stop it? - Ah!

1:04:21 > 1:04:23Don't pinch me there.

1:04:24 > 1:04:27It makes me sore.

1:04:28 > 1:04:30What?

1:04:31 > 1:04:33What?

1:04:34 > 1:04:37How did you do that?

1:04:38 > 1:04:40You hurt yourself or what?

1:04:40 > 1:04:43I don't know.

1:04:52 > 1:04:54It's not very legible and it hurts.

1:04:54 > 1:04:57For the first time,

1:04:57 > 1:05:01I have to think about the value of every little word.

1:05:01 > 1:05:03It's just... Oh, it's dangerous.

1:05:03 > 1:05:08- It is? Why?- Well, it cuts most of the jobs a writer would get.

1:05:08 > 1:05:13You have to think about the value of the worst Hollywood rewrites.

1:05:13 > 1:05:17- Let's see how you're doing here. - Memory.- Memory.

1:05:17 > 1:05:20Upward strokes and downward slopes.

1:05:20 > 1:05:23What's this? Comma curls.

1:05:23 > 1:05:26"Making me hold..." Yeah. I can read it.

1:05:26 > 1:05:28- Making you hold what? - My breath.

1:05:28 > 1:05:31Words make me hold my breath.

1:05:32 > 1:05:35- Do they now?- Uh-huh. And that's what you're gonna say.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38Who knows where they've been?

1:05:39 > 1:05:44- We're getting a little heavy here, aren't we?- What made you say that?

1:05:47 > 1:05:49- What do you mean? - I wrote that down.

1:05:49 > 1:05:53Quote. Getting a little heavy. Comma. Aren't we? Question mark. Unquote.

1:05:53 > 1:05:56If I did...

1:05:59 > 1:06:01No. Doesn't matter.

1:06:02 > 1:06:05Ah, well... Um, keep at it.

1:06:10 > 1:06:13Quote. Well. Dash. Keep at it.

1:06:13 > 1:06:17Exclamation mark. She smiled. Comma.

1:06:17 > 1:06:19Turned away. Dot.

1:06:23 > 1:06:25Oh. Not enough page.

1:06:25 > 1:06:27Stop.

1:06:27 > 1:06:30Finish. Period.

1:06:30 > 1:06:33He's dead. Period.

1:06:33 > 1:06:35Out of it. Period.

1:06:36 > 1:06:39That's it. All done.

1:06:39 > 1:06:41Great.

1:06:46 > 1:06:48I like that.

1:06:49 > 1:06:52Now Dan Dark's old script is in the machine.

1:06:52 > 1:06:54Minus his name.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57We can run off as many copies as we need.

1:06:58 > 1:07:01We can tinker with it a little while.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06And now we deliver it.

1:07:13 > 1:07:15MOANING AND GROANING

1:07:17 > 1:07:21Must get Dark to sign the rights to my company. That's essential.

1:07:23 > 1:07:27- Move forward a bit.- Is that better? - Yeah. Oh, that's fine.

1:07:27 > 1:07:31OK. One - he signs with me.

1:07:33 > 1:07:35- Two - - GROANS

1:07:36 > 1:07:39I sell it on. I mean, we.

1:07:39 > 1:07:42We sell it on to Mail Pouch films.

1:07:42 > 1:07:44And three...

1:07:46 > 1:07:48..net profit -

1:07:48 > 1:07:50- one million. - BOTH MOAN

1:07:51 > 1:07:54- 'That's funny.' - 'One of the plus points.'

1:07:54 > 1:07:58- 'But he's gotta sign.' - MUTUAL MOANING CONTINUES

1:08:01 > 1:08:04Don't worry. I can get him to do...

1:08:05 > 1:08:07..anything!

1:08:07 > 1:08:10Oh, yeah! Oh, oh, oh!

1:08:10 > 1:08:13Good girl! Oh!

1:08:13 > 1:08:15Hmm.

1:08:24 > 1:08:26Hello.

1:08:29 > 1:08:34- Hey. - Hey. I was just thinking about you.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36- Really? - Uh-huh.

1:08:36 > 1:08:39- What were you thinking about me? - I was thinking you look terrific.

1:08:41 > 1:08:44So do you. You look better.

1:08:45 > 1:08:48- Don't, Dan.- Don't what? - Look at me like that.

1:08:48 > 1:08:52- Like what?- Like I'm your enemy. - You're involved in something.

1:08:52 > 1:08:57- Same old Danny.- It probably has something to do with my money.

1:08:57 > 1:09:00- You haven't got any money. - No.

1:09:00 > 1:09:02Not in cash, maybe.

1:09:02 > 1:09:06Not in good old-fashioned foldable, chewable lettuce, nor in coins.

1:09:06 > 1:09:10Nothing to go chink-chink in my pocket, but I have assets.

1:09:10 > 1:09:13- Like what? - My four detective stories.

1:09:14 > 1:09:19- Yeah...?- No, three of which are out of print. And the screenplay.

1:09:19 > 1:09:22- What screenplay? - Bingo!

1:09:22 > 1:09:24- Fucking bingo! - Danny, please.

1:09:24 > 1:09:28- You gotta fill me in. What are you talking about?- With my own hands,

1:09:28 > 1:09:32these dead fucking chicken feet, I wrote it six years ago.

1:09:32 > 1:09:37- Danny, what screenplay?- What screenplay? The Singing Detective!

1:09:37 > 1:09:39That's what!

1:09:42 > 1:09:47- Danny.- I put it up in the shoeboxes and I put it in the closet.

1:09:48 > 1:09:50Oh, that!

1:09:51 > 1:09:54- Oh! - Yes, that!

1:09:54 > 1:09:56Wait a minute.

1:09:56 > 1:10:00- If it's the pages I think you mean, you threw them out ages ago.- No.

1:10:00 > 1:10:03- Yes! - No. I didn't throw them out.

1:10:03 > 1:10:07Dan, yes you did! You threw them out. You said it was garbage.

1:10:07 > 1:10:09What are you doing?

1:10:17 > 1:10:21Oh, well. Easy come, easy go.

1:10:21 > 1:10:22Was that the only copy?

1:10:24 > 1:10:26Of course.

1:10:33 > 1:10:37- Did I squeeze it? Does it hurt? - My heart, you mean?

1:10:39 > 1:10:43- You are improving, though, you know. - Except I'm going crazy.- Hey now.

1:10:43 > 1:10:45OK.

1:10:45 > 1:10:49I lie here and make these connections between cheap old detective stories

1:10:49 > 1:10:52and my cheap little...

1:10:52 > 1:10:54SIGHS

1:10:56 > 1:10:59- Sex. - Yes. I know the word.

1:10:59 > 1:11:03Y'know, that's what the whole thing is about - my book, my life.

1:11:03 > 1:11:05It's about sex. Sex and lies.

1:11:09 > 1:11:11I wanna sleep with you again.

1:11:11 > 1:11:14- Dan... - I'd do it with a mirror alongside.

1:11:14 > 1:11:17Oh, stop.

1:11:17 > 1:11:21So I could look over at myself while I'm fucking and just leer.

1:11:22 > 1:11:26Damn right. It's coming up in me - the old joy juice.

1:11:26 > 1:11:30I'd flip it over to one side and come off your gleaming loins, honey,

1:11:30 > 1:11:34and just spit right in my own face.

1:11:34 > 1:11:36Oh, my God.

1:11:37 > 1:11:40- Well, it's improving. - What is?

1:11:40 > 1:11:42The spitting at myself.

1:11:42 > 1:11:46Couple of days ago, my idea of true bliss would have been...

1:11:47 > 1:11:50- ..spitting in your face. - Dan.

1:11:50 > 1:11:54What are you going to do about this rage, this hatred you have?

1:11:54 > 1:11:57What if I just write serious literature?

1:11:57 > 1:12:01Just piss in the wind like poets and priests do. Who are they?

1:12:01 > 1:12:03- Who are those two? - Who is who?

1:12:03 > 1:12:06G-G-Go to the window.

1:12:07 > 1:12:10No, I don't see anything. What is the matter?

1:12:12 > 1:12:14- Paranoia. - Thank you.

1:12:16 > 1:12:19Baby, I'm so paranoid.

1:12:19 > 1:12:23You've got everything going for you, haven't you?

1:12:27 > 1:12:31I'm telling you, people are beginning to notice us.

1:12:31 > 1:12:35- You see, they're looking at us. - They're all sick in here, anyway.

1:12:35 > 1:12:39- Are you sure that's him with the... - The nurse said so.

1:12:40 > 1:12:44Maybe we should have brought flowers or grapes.

1:12:44 > 1:12:48- What for? - Less conspicuous.

1:12:49 > 1:12:53- Are we gonna waste him, whack him? What?- Not when that dame's there.

1:12:53 > 1:12:57- We gotta make him sing. - Another song?- Shut up!

1:12:57 > 1:13:00Talk, I mean! Tell us what we're doing here.

1:13:00 > 1:13:05I'm sick of standing around like a dummy. Are we Feds or aren't we?

1:13:05 > 1:13:09- No, we're just a couple of hoods. - Shut up!- Do you need any help?

1:13:12 > 1:13:14Um, do we?

1:13:14 > 1:13:17Er, thank you, Miss. No.

1:13:17 > 1:13:21Um, we have seen all that we wish to see

1:13:21 > 1:13:25and our report will be... arriving... Let's go!

1:13:25 > 1:13:27Hey!

1:13:27 > 1:13:30What are you doing here?

1:13:30 > 1:13:34# Now when I get the blues, I get me a rocking chair

1:13:36 > 1:13:40# When I get the blues, I get me a rocking chair

1:13:42 > 1:13:45# Well, if the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here

1:13:47 > 1:13:50# Now, flip, flop and fly

1:13:50 > 1:13:53# I don't care if I die

1:13:53 > 1:13:55# Now, flip, flop and fly

1:13:55 > 1:13:58# I don't care if I die... #

1:14:02 > 1:14:04Where are you? Lost?

1:14:08 > 1:14:11- I have a confession to make. - Uh-huh.

1:14:13 > 1:14:17- I know more about that movie offer than I implied.- Come clean.

1:14:17 > 1:14:19I...

1:14:19 > 1:14:22I went, um, to your apartment, just to check it out,

1:14:22 > 1:14:25because you'd been in here so long. Er...

1:14:25 > 1:14:30First of all, Dan, the way that you live is unbelievable.

1:14:30 > 1:14:34- The plants, they're all dead. - Good. I hope they suffered.

1:14:34 > 1:14:37There is mould on every single living thing.

1:14:37 > 1:14:42- Who goes away and leaves Camembert on the table?- You open my mail?

1:14:42 > 1:14:45- Yes, I did. Just the bills and... - You opened my mail.

1:14:45 > 1:14:49- ..this one letter.- Don't worry about them, worry about the mould.

1:14:49 > 1:14:53- Anyway, this production... - It's about The Singing Detective.

1:14:53 > 1:14:56- Well, yes. It's from this producer, Finney.- Binney.

1:14:56 > 1:14:59- Finney. - Finney with an F?

1:14:59 > 1:15:01- Yes. - Finney with an F, not a B?

1:15:01 > 1:15:04- Right. - Not a B. Cos you know him.

1:15:04 > 1:15:07- I've never heard of him.- In what context have you never heard of him?

1:15:07 > 1:15:12- Danny, why are you so...? - Where's the letter?- Forget it.

1:15:14 > 1:15:17- He checks out? - Well, for what it's worth.

1:15:18 > 1:15:22- Would I get some dough up front? - So it says.- How much?

1:15:22 > 1:15:25- 40 grand. - Oh, shit!

1:15:25 > 1:15:29- But that's for the rights?- Right. - Who's gonna do the screenplay?

1:15:29 > 1:15:32- The producer, Finney, apparently. - Why?

1:15:32 > 1:15:35Why? All these guys, they think they can write -

1:15:35 > 1:15:38every busy little schmuck that can hold a pen the right way up.

1:15:38 > 1:15:42- Just take the money and run. - Oh, I...OK.

1:15:44 > 1:15:47- It's a good story, though. - Hmm.

1:15:47 > 1:15:49When it stays on the page.

1:15:50 > 1:15:53Uh-huh.

1:15:53 > 1:15:57More connections.

1:15:57 > 1:15:59- Connections. - Connections.

1:16:04 > 1:16:06BOTH PANT

1:16:07 > 1:16:10Oh, God!

1:16:10 > 1:16:13- Oh, we shouldn't have run. - No choice.

1:16:17 > 1:16:20- Where the fuck is this? - Why here?

1:16:20 > 1:16:24What are we doing here? Jeez! Look at that sun.

1:16:26 > 1:16:29- That is the sun, right? - It's a big fucking moon if it isn't!

1:16:29 > 1:16:32What is going on? What's going on?

1:16:32 > 1:16:35EAGLE SCREECHES

1:16:35 > 1:16:37GUNSHOTS

1:16:40 > 1:16:43What are we gonna do?

1:16:44 > 1:16:46Hey.

1:16:46 > 1:16:50There's your building over there. Way over there.

1:16:51 > 1:16:54"Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco."

1:16:54 > 1:16:58Oh, no. I hate that stuff. It gets in my throat.

1:16:58 > 1:17:01Maybe what we're looking for is in that building.

1:17:01 > 1:17:05Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, what are we looking for?

1:17:09 > 1:17:11I don't know.

1:17:17 > 1:17:19'Nor me.'

1:17:19 > 1:17:21Nor me.

1:17:23 > 1:17:27# People see us everywhere

1:17:27 > 1:17:31# They think you really care

1:17:31 > 1:17:35# But myself I can't deceive

1:17:35 > 1:17:38# I know it's only

1:17:38 > 1:17:43# Make-believe

1:17:45 > 1:17:48# My one and only prayer

1:17:48 > 1:17:51# Is that some day you'll care

1:17:51 > 1:17:53# My hopes, my dreams come true

1:17:53 > 1:17:56# My one and only you

1:17:56 > 1:17:59# No-one will ever know

1:17:59 > 1:18:02# How much I love you so

1:18:02 > 1:18:05# My only prayer will be

1:18:05 > 1:18:07# Some day you'll care for me

1:18:07 > 1:18:10# But it's only

1:18:10 > 1:18:13# Make

1:18:13 > 1:18:17# Believe. #

1:18:17 > 1:18:18Hey, sonny.

1:18:20 > 1:18:23Tough guys don't cry.

1:18:29 > 1:18:31I know that, sir.

1:18:35 > 1:18:38Can't now separate in my mind

1:18:38 > 1:18:42the bus that took my mom and me to LA from the one that brought us back.

1:18:46 > 1:18:48Brought me back.

1:18:52 > 1:18:54I still dream about it.

1:18:55 > 1:18:59But I'm getting there. My head's getting there.

1:19:00 > 1:19:03What happened to your mom?

1:19:04 > 1:19:06She killed herself.

1:19:07 > 1:19:09How?

1:19:10 > 1:19:13In the river. In the river.

1:19:15 > 1:19:17I, er...

1:19:17 > 1:19:20- Is that really what happened?- What? - Now, now.

1:19:20 > 1:19:22"Now, now"? Wait. Excuse me. What?

1:19:24 > 1:19:26We have a woman drowned in a bathtub

1:19:26 > 1:19:30- and thrown in the river in your story.- So? What about it?

1:19:30 > 1:19:32Sometimes a cigar's just a cigar.

1:19:32 > 1:19:37I'm a bit surprised that you can duplicate such a traumatic event...

1:19:37 > 1:19:41- In what? In a commercial piece of trash?- I didn't say that.

1:19:41 > 1:19:45Dan, I read you part of your book to illustrate a point to you.

1:19:45 > 1:19:49That book... There were things in that book, Doc,

1:19:49 > 1:19:53- that are reaching out to grab me by the throat.- Why don't you let them?

1:19:54 > 1:19:57Why? Why?

1:19:57 > 1:19:58Let them.

1:20:01 > 1:20:05Me - I'm in that book and I didn't even know it.

1:20:05 > 1:20:07Yeah.

1:20:12 > 1:20:14I didn't kill my mother.

1:20:14 > 1:20:18I can't imagine that anyone would ever suggest that you did.

1:20:21 > 1:20:24You know, when I was a, er, boy...

1:20:25 > 1:20:28- Long ago and far away. - No.

1:20:29 > 1:20:31Here, now.

1:20:31 > 1:20:35I saw my mother with a greaseball who worked for my father.

1:20:36 > 1:20:38A...a partner.

1:20:40 > 1:20:44This service station in the desert that was never really viable.

1:20:44 > 1:20:47Dark And Binney. Shit, they were screwing.

1:20:47 > 1:20:52You know, noises, him on top of her. Kiss-kiss, bang-bang - all that.

1:20:53 > 1:20:57I don't know, maybe she would have gotten away with it. Maybe it was...

1:21:01 > 1:21:06My dad was a hard sort of guy to talk to. You know, he was good.

1:21:07 > 1:21:11You know, but as a kid, I couldn't seem to get close.

1:21:11 > 1:21:14He was good with engines... anything under the hood.

1:21:14 > 1:21:19He was just... He was quiet. He was just too quiet.

1:21:19 > 1:21:21I wanted to get closer.

1:21:22 > 1:21:26Oh, I mean, maybe I wasn't the kind of kid

1:21:26 > 1:21:28he would have wanted, you know.

1:21:29 > 1:21:32Reading, off on my own.

1:21:34 > 1:21:36Locked in.

1:21:36 > 1:21:39A little pain in the ass...kid.

1:21:46 > 1:21:49I wanted to get closer...and I, I...

1:21:49 > 1:21:51So, you told him about her?

1:21:51 > 1:21:55I traded her in. I traded her in for a pat on the head.

1:21:55 > 1:21:59- No. No. - I got beat instead and so did she.

1:21:59 > 1:22:03He just hit her from one side of the room to the other. We went...

1:22:05 > 1:22:07..to LA.

1:22:07 > 1:22:10But by then, I think my pa's rage had cooled down.

1:22:10 > 1:22:13I don't think he wanted us to go. I remember him waving.

1:22:16 > 1:22:19I remember him waving to us as the bus went away.

1:22:22 > 1:22:25SOBS Away.

1:22:26 > 1:22:30My mom couldn't get a job. It was just...

1:22:33 > 1:22:35She started bringing men home.

1:22:40 > 1:22:44I remember these cracks... these cracks in the ceiling.

1:22:46 > 1:22:49I remember these cracks...

1:23:10 > 1:23:12All right.

1:23:13 > 1:23:15- Stand up. - What?

1:23:15 > 1:23:18You can. You can do it.

1:23:18 > 1:23:22- You really think so? - It's now or never.

1:23:25 > 1:23:28Yes. Yes. CLEARS THROAT

1:23:28 > 1:23:31How many steps to heaven, Doc?

1:23:31 > 1:23:34- Ah, metaphysics. - Music.

1:26:04 > 1:26:06LAUGHTER ECHOES

1:26:26 > 1:26:29Sorry you got put on hold, Mr Binney.

1:26:31 > 1:26:34Don't sweat the bill.

1:26:42 > 1:26:44Now, we wait.

1:26:44 > 1:26:46Wait and see.

1:27:22 > 1:27:25You had it coming, baby.

1:27:26 > 1:27:29They should have cut your dick off first.

1:27:33 > 1:27:36Landed you into one hell of a fix, eh?

1:27:49 > 1:27:53They got to him first. Yeah. One step ahead all the time.

1:27:54 > 1:27:58I didn't think the Feds would waste one of their own, but there you go.

1:27:58 > 1:28:00No morality these days, eh?

1:28:00 > 1:28:03I know, but I wanted to waste him on my own.

1:28:05 > 1:28:09Well, why not? I like to wash all the men off my skin.

1:28:10 > 1:28:15No. We'll give them one more chance to eliminate the warbler.

1:28:15 > 1:28:18He's a sitting duck.

1:28:19 > 1:28:23I'd like to see the bullets splatter his larynx.

1:28:24 > 1:28:28Dan Dark is the real killer.

1:28:28 > 1:28:31He poisons other people's lives.

1:28:32 > 1:28:35He thinks he's smart,

1:28:35 > 1:28:38but really, he's very, very sad.

1:28:38 > 1:28:43I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1:28:50 > 1:28:53Can you see?

1:28:54 > 1:28:56Can you see, Mr Dark?

1:29:00 > 1:29:03You like?

1:29:07 > 1:29:12This is what you want from a woman, Dan. Believe her to be a whore.

1:29:15 > 1:29:19Make her what...you like.

1:29:20 > 1:29:22You want.

1:29:22 > 1:29:25You're so sad.

1:29:25 > 1:29:27Sad.

1:29:27 > 1:29:29And sick.

1:29:31 > 1:29:35Using your childhood to foul up the lives of those who care for you.

1:29:36 > 1:29:40Using your illness as a weapon against anything clean

1:29:40 > 1:29:42and honest and loving.

1:29:44 > 1:29:46You disgust me.

1:29:47 > 1:29:51- You sick little creep. - COCKS GUN

1:29:52 > 1:29:54You poisonous, malformed,

1:29:54 > 1:29:58cynical heap of shit.

1:29:58 > 1:30:00No! No...

1:30:00 > 1:30:02Ah!

1:30:02 > 1:30:06- Are you OK? - Yeah.

1:30:09 > 1:30:12OK. Sure. Why not?

1:30:12 > 1:30:15Why aren't you in the bed?

1:30:15 > 1:30:20I am not in the bed because I... stood up, almost.

1:30:20 > 1:30:25- Fantastic!- Yeah. See what I can do. I'll be walking away next week.

1:30:25 > 1:30:29Well, don't overdo it. You look... Are you hot?

1:30:29 > 1:30:34- No.- OK. That's how people get disappointed. You must take it easy.

1:30:34 > 1:30:38No, I'm fine. Day by day, in every way, I'm getting better and better.

1:30:38 > 1:30:41- Stand up while I lubricate you. - I might need...

1:30:41 > 1:30:46No, no. I was just kidding. I don't expect you to...

1:30:46 > 1:30:50I'm just so glad that you're being... It's a real improvement.

1:30:50 > 1:30:53You know, you're one of the nicest people I've met in a long time.

1:30:53 > 1:30:59- You haven't been anywhere in a long time.- One of the prettiest, too.

1:31:00 > 1:31:01Your eyes.

1:31:02 > 1:31:06- What about them? - Your mouth.

1:31:06 > 1:31:11The way you head joins your neck as though it's hesitating. No, no.

1:31:11 > 1:31:16It's reluctant... Boy, when I get out of here, I'm just really gonna write.

1:31:16 > 1:31:18MUMBLES

1:31:20 > 1:31:22No. You're the girl in the stocks.

1:31:22 > 1:31:25Hey, pull the Caddy around. Let's pull out of here.

1:31:25 > 1:31:27Stop it, Mr Dark.

1:31:28 > 1:31:32Oh. Oh, I see. Enough of these intimacies, huh?

1:31:32 > 1:31:35Hell, we hardly know each other. The only contact we've had

1:31:35 > 1:31:38is to lift up my penis and just grease around it.

1:31:38 > 1:31:42- W-What? What's the matter? - BREATHES HEAVILY

1:31:42 > 1:31:45- Phew! Boy, is it hot in here! - Lie down.

1:31:45 > 1:31:48- You're burning up. - MUMBLES

1:31:48 > 1:31:52No, no, no! No, no, no, no, no. You gotta lay down.

1:31:52 > 1:31:55- MUMBLES - No, no. Come on, Mr Dark. Just stay.

1:31:55 > 1:31:57Come on! Come on!

1:31:58 > 1:32:00Nicola!

1:32:00 > 1:32:04- Come on. Let's just go back into the bed.- NICOLA!

1:32:07 > 1:32:10Oh! Oh!

1:32:10 > 1:32:12Can I get some help here?

1:32:13 > 1:32:16- It's OK, nurse. It's OK. - Gentle!

1:32:16 > 1:32:19Yeah. Too heavy for you, angel.

1:32:19 > 1:32:22- Come on. Back in the bed. - I'm sorry.

1:32:22 > 1:32:26- I am. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - Slide your feet, gumshoes.

1:32:26 > 1:32:29- Beddy bye-byes. - One small step for man,

1:32:29 > 1:32:33- one giant leap for a cripple! - Argh! Ah!

1:32:35 > 1:32:39- Who are you and what are you doing here?- A good question.

1:32:39 > 1:32:42- On the nose, as they say nowadays. - Yeah, whenever that is.

1:32:42 > 1:32:44Am I hot? Is this because I'm hot?

1:32:44 > 1:32:48I don't know you. I don't know who you are!

1:32:48 > 1:32:51- Disowning us, are you? - Nurse!

1:32:51 > 1:32:54- Nurse. Where's she gone? - Where are you going?

1:32:54 > 1:32:55Home!

1:32:55 > 1:32:59- Hands off the fucking page! - You are going nowhere.

1:33:00 > 1:33:05We get the shit and no explanations! Just one fuck-up after another.

1:33:05 > 1:33:09- And you're the scumbag that wrote it!- Wait! No! No!

1:33:09 > 1:33:12W-Where are we going?

1:33:14 > 1:33:16Where is everybody? HELP!

1:33:21 > 1:33:24SHOUTS

1:33:42 > 1:33:45SHOUTS

1:33:54 > 1:33:59- Oh, long way down, pal.- Right. It's a good last page, bucklehead.

1:33:59 > 1:34:02- Sp-lash! - Yeah! It's pooper-scooper time now!

1:34:02 > 1:34:05So, spill! Who are we? What are we?

1:34:05 > 1:34:07# When, when you smile SCREAMS

1:34:07 > 1:34:10# When you smile at me

1:34:10 > 1:34:12# Well, well, I know

1:34:12 > 1:34:15# Our love will always be

1:34:15 > 1:34:17# When, when you kiss

1:34:17 > 1:34:19# When you kiss me right

1:34:19 > 1:34:21# I, I don't want

1:34:21 > 1:34:24# To ever say goodnight

1:34:24 > 1:34:27# I need you

1:34:27 > 1:34:29# I want you near me

1:34:29 > 1:34:30# I love you

1:34:31 > 1:34:34# Yes, I do and I hope you hear me

1:34:34 > 1:34:36# When, when I say SCREAMS

1:34:36 > 1:34:39# When I say be mine

1:34:39 > 1:34:44# If, if you will, I know all will be fine

1:34:44 > 1:34:48# Will, will you be mine?

1:34:48 > 1:34:51# Oh, baby, I'm in love

1:34:51 > 1:34:53# I want you near me

1:34:53 > 1:34:55# I love you

1:35:05 > 1:35:07Well, personally,

1:35:07 > 1:35:10I don't wanna walk down no mean quarters.

1:35:10 > 1:35:14No, sir. There's just no payoff in picking bluebells.

1:35:14 > 1:35:16Am I right or am I right?

1:35:17 > 1:35:20Ah. Pffh!

1:35:20 > 1:35:22SCREAMING God, listen to that,

1:35:22 > 1:35:24would you? Can you hear the guy?

1:35:24 > 1:35:27Anybody would think his arm was being twisted.

1:35:27 > 1:35:31Ow! We've all been in pain, one time or another.

1:35:31 > 1:35:35What I say is, when you're dealing with the devil...

1:35:36 > 1:35:38..praise the Lord

1:35:38 > 1:35:41and pass the ammunition.

1:35:42 > 1:35:44I am not wrong...

1:35:44 > 1:35:46..neither am I wrong.

1:35:46 > 1:35:49- Ah! Ah! - Oh, jeez! The warbler.

1:35:54 > 1:35:57# Now, flip, flop and fly

1:35:57 > 1:35:59# I don't care if I die

1:36:51 > 1:36:53No! Wait! That's murder.

1:36:55 > 1:36:59Will you get a load of that? "Murder", he says. I call it...

1:37:00 > 1:37:04..prudent. Only one of us is gonna walk out of here.

1:37:04 > 1:37:06Sweeter than the roses.

1:37:09 > 1:37:11What? Are you kidding me with this?

1:37:14 > 1:37:16Ah, shucks.

1:37:16 > 1:37:19You could say we've been partners, him and me -

1:37:19 > 1:37:23like Laurel and Hardy, or Donald and Ivana.

1:37:24 > 1:37:27But, heck, this was one sick pup...

1:37:28 > 1:37:33..from way back. I reckon I'm man enough to tie my own shoelaces now.

1:37:55 > 1:37:58Hey.

1:37:58 > 1:38:03- You got my hat? - Have I got your hat?

1:38:10 > 1:38:14- Think I've cracked this case. - Yeah, I think you have, but...

1:38:14 > 1:38:18- No buts. Watch my lips. - What?

1:38:21 > 1:38:24# In my dreams, you told me

1:38:24 > 1:38:27# That you really, really care

1:38:27 > 1:38:30# In my dreams, you told me

1:38:30 > 1:38:33# It's a love you won't share

1:38:33 > 1:38:36# So, hold me, hold me, hold me

1:38:36 > 1:38:41# And never, ever let me go

1:38:45 > 1:38:47# In my dreams

1:38:47 > 1:38:51# You told me our love was here to stay

1:38:54 > 1:38:57# Forever and a day

1:38:57 > 1:39:00# That you'll love me, love me, love me

1:39:00 > 1:39:02# And never, ever

1:39:02 > 1:39:08- # Let me go - # Wah, wah, wah, wah

1:39:08 > 1:39:14# It seems that dreams are sometimes make-believe
