00:04:30 - The truth?
00:04:33 - You look great.
00:04:37 - What?
00:04:38 - What do you mean?
00:04:40 - Just holding them for a friend, huh?
00:04:43 - Ha ha.
00:04:45 Aggie, you okay?
00:04:49 Sexy.
00:04:53 Do you hate me?
00:04:55 As much now
00:04:57 - You know, I might be contagious.
00:05:00 - What about the party?
00:05:04 What about the cake?
00:05:06 I'd like two
00:05:09 "What if?"
00:05:11 What if I had said
00:05:15 Single tonight, Walter?
00:05:16 Not actually, no.
00:05:19 - Oh, hey!
00:05:21 Why don't you wag your tail
00:05:23 Sybil.
00:05:25 What if
00:05:27 Sybil, I wouldn't wag
00:05:29 with you if you were
00:05:32 ...tactful?
00:05:35 Sparrow, I repeat.
00:05:38 We have an unidentified
00:05:40 It's one minute
00:05:42 Then we're agreed
00:05:47 Yeah, sure.
00:05:51 Sounds delicious.
00:05:56 Right.
00:05:59 Okay okay.
00:06:12 Come to papa.
00:06:15 Maybe you'd like
00:06:19 Yeah, once upon a time
00:06:22 there was a dog
00:06:24 who lived a life
00:06:26 feared no one.
00:06:29 But although his teeth
00:06:33 and his belly full,
00:06:35 his heart was empty.
00:06:37 He decided to go
00:06:41 to a land far far away,
00:06:44 where he came upon
00:06:48 with a thin old man
00:06:51 And he invited him in.
00:06:54 The dog...
00:06:57 Was overjoyed.
00:06:59 And that night
00:07:02 warm smoke billowed
00:07:05 But, oh...
00:07:07 what an odd-smelling
00:07:10 You see,
00:07:15 And in China,
00:07:18 they eat dog.
00:07:24 Let me see who your
00:07:38 Oh, god!
00:07:46 Damn it!
00:07:51 Didn't like my story,
00:07:54 That's all right.
00:08:26 Oh, god.
00:08:27 Oh, I don't believe
00:08:34 All right, buddy,
00:08:41 Now where'd you go?
00:09:36 Destiny...
00:09:37 Maybe that's too big
00:09:40 If I'd been nicer to Sybil, she never
00:09:43 I wouldn't have been late
00:09:46 And none of this
00:09:49 But I was late.
00:09:50 And that's all it took.
00:09:53 Oh!
00:09:56 - Take a look at that. Try not to throw up.
00:10:00 "Nasty evil dog"...
00:10:02 That's what "Ned"
00:10:04 If I ever see him again, he's
00:10:06 "Nasty evil dead dog. "
00:10:08 - All right, now take a deep breath.
00:10:10 - That's what he's gonna be.
00:10:13 It's your birthday,
00:10:15 Yeah, I've been thinking about that.
00:10:16 Why is it we go and see
00:10:19 Um...
00:10:21 Probably because
00:10:23 Oh.
00:10:25 Makes sense.
00:10:27 So I'm older,
00:10:30 And I'm spending
00:10:32 - No.

00:13:24 - Happy birthday.
00:13:36 You can call me Fingerling.
00:13:41 It's not my real name.
00:13:43 It came from a book
00:13:46 'Fingerling
00:13:48 Paper flap long gone,
00:13:51 It had a green hardback cover
00:13:54 It was possibly
00:13:58 Funny,
00:13:59 I can't recall
00:14:03 The only thing
00:14:05 Fingerling.
00:14:07 I wished it was mine
00:14:10 And now it is. "
00:14:25 This is your first bite?
00:14:27 First animal one, yes.
00:14:29 My wife, she has
00:14:32 In her sleep and...
00:14:34 Tell me about this
00:14:36 What would you do if you
00:14:38 If I was in my truck,
00:14:42 Until I heard a thud.
00:14:46 I'm sorry.
00:14:48 I just...
00:14:50 Mr. Sparrow, animal-control regulations state
00:14:53 That any officer suffering
00:14:57 Must undergo psychological
00:15:00 To evaluate their
00:15:02 I gave him my arm
00:15:04 Can't blame a creature
00:15:07 I made a mistake, okay? Write
00:15:10 It's my fault...
00:15:13 She could choose the color
00:15:15 For the living room walls,
00:15:17 Not that women are of
00:15:23 Have a good day,
00:15:25 No, I'm jus...
00:15:27 No, Agatha is the most
00:15:31 What she sees in me,
00:15:33 Look...
00:15:35 I love my job,
00:15:37 Ned got away.
00:15:39 Well, yeah, but...
00:15:41 Don't worry. Apart from
00:15:44 I'm giving you
00:15:46 You're not a danger
00:15:48 That's why you can go
00:15:52 Really?
00:15:54 I'll take it.
00:15:56 - Mr. Sparrow.
00:15:58 What color did your wife
00:16:01 Red, blood red.
00:16:15 Imagine me, if you must,
00:16:18 As someone you once knew.
00:16:22 Someone perhaps
00:16:26 Or better yet,
00:16:29 Imagine me as you.
00:16:32 As a kid,
00:16:34 Not because I liked studying,
00:16:37 That an education was
00:16:40 See, the stork dropped me
00:16:43 There wasn't anything
00:16:45 As far as
00:16:47 I'm sure it ranked
00:16:50 I had friends, but...
00:16:55 I always felt alone.
00:16:59 No one ever left,
00:17:02 But I wasn't gonna
00:17:04 As much as I loved him,
00:17:05 I didn't want
00:17:09 He seemed so distant
00:17:13 Numbers were his life.
00:17:15 And I guess he had expected me to
00:17:19 But I had other plans.
00:17:21 My mom was tickled pink
00:17:23 When I announced
00:17:26 Can't say the same
00:17:28 It really put the kibosh
00:17:31 And it fueled his hatred
00:17:34 She lived next door.
00:17:36 It sounds odd,
00:17:38 Is the reason
00:17:40 The grass is always greener
00:17:43 At least according
00:17:45 That's why he was always
00:17:47 And it was my job
00:17:51 But I never crossed the fence
00:17:55 That was
00:17:57 On my eighth birthday,
00:17:59 I broke the rule.
00:18:06 Now I must admit that my
00:18:09 With detective stories
00:18:12 So I'm not sure
00:18:15 Except one.
00:18:19 The widow dobkins
00:18:29 It was a whole hour
00:18:32 And in that
00:18:34 My eight-year-old mind
00:18:36 I decided that the widow dobkins was killed
00:18:39 By a man
00:18:41 A mind such as our town
00:18:44 No one would be safe from
00:18:47 Especially his loved ones.
00:18:49 Of course, a doctor later
00:18:52 But I never believed it.
00:18:54 By then, my mind had been
00:18:58 From this,
00:19:01 Detective Fingerling. "

00:20:27 with streets

00:26:15 That he'd beat it,
00:26:19 He said, "daddy loves you.
00:26:22 ...to guarantee that
00:26:31 He was wrong.
00:26:33 His guarantee wasn't worth
00:26:41 I guess daddy

00:27:30 So I tell her a story. "

00:27:56 Two years later, the woman
00:28:00 Takes him for

00:28:06 At this very moment...
00:28:12 Still looking
00:28:16 Figures he just got

00:30:11 "When I found out what her name was,
00:30:13 that added up too.
00:30:16 Maybe it was

00:37:33 Of course there exist
00:37:36 where the main character
00:37:38 I wasn't aware
00:37:40 I don't. That's just it, it doesn't all match.
00:37:43 It's the number.
00:37:46 Well, conspiracy buffs
00:37:49 "After all, the world
00:37:51 When you tell them it's
00:37:54 five is simply two plus three.
00:37:59 23 is very good
00:38:03 - Game?
00:38:07 There's a fair bit
00:38:11 There are 23 axioms

00:38:32 23 reversed.
00:38:34 Or 20 plus one
00:38:37 So what is this?
00:38:39 What is 23?
00:38:41 Is it...
00:38:44 God?
00:38:46 Two divided by three...

00:37:50 My confession,
00:37:52 - I never saw it again. "
00:37:56 "Some injuries
00:37:59 Some are just
00:38:02 So my brain
00:38:05 The terrible thing
00:38:07 And the reasons why. "
00:38:10 - Take care.
00:38:12 - I hope not. I hope not. Don't come back.
00:38:24 - Ooh! Oh my god. I'm so sorry.

00:38:49 Or the book found her. "
00:39:15 This is where
00:39:17 It was me.
00:39:20 I'm a murderer.
00:39:27 I don't know what happened
00:39:32 You weren't a bad person
00:39:37 You were a sick person
00:39:39 I killed
00:39:45 There's an innocent man
00:39:50 You're a wonderful
00:39:52 and you're the best father
00:39:56 And what would Robin do
00:40:00 You know I can't let an
00:40:03 for my horrible sin.
00:40:07 We're all broken,
00:40:10 Remember, you told me
00:40:12 when you met me?
00:40:14 Well, my life
00:40:17 - Began that day, too.
00:40:19 I didn't know
00:40:22 - I want you to leave, Ag.
00:40:24 - You need to leave before...
00:40:27 Before what?
00:40:34 Before you kill me?
00:40:38 Damn it, Walter.
00:40:41 Look, this...
00:40:43 This is who you were.
00:40:45 This is not
00:40:49 - This is not who you are!
00:40:53 I have killed someone.
00:40:56 I killed someone.
00:40:58 I could do it again.
00:41:01 You think you could do it
00:41:05 Here, then take this.
00:41:07 You go ahead and do it.
00:41:08 If you're a killer,
00:41:10 Look around at all
00:41:12 You don't want to disappoint them, do you?

00:41:19 I love you.
00:41:21 No, don't you say that.
00:41:25 - I love you.

00:42:47 It's just a number.
00:42:50 Some choices are easy;
00:42:53 some aren't.

00:42:58 the ones that define us
00:43:01 The Lord is my shepherd.
00:43:04 In green pastures,
00:43:07 To safe waters, you lead me.
00:43:10 13 years ago
00:43:13 Guide me along
00:43:15 I needed to put it right,
00:43:18 And not just
00:43:37 To die there in the street
00:43:41 But it wouldn't
00:43:44 At least not the justice

00:43:58 My lawyer says the judge
00:44:01 For turning myself in.
00:44:03 Maybe it's not
00:44:06 But it's the right one.
00:44:10 Someday I'll be up
00:44:12 And we can go on
00:44:14 It's only a matter
00:44:17 Of course, time's just
00:44:19 Numbers...
00:44:21 With meaning attached
00:44:26 Isn't it?
