00:02:14 |
Hey! |
00:02:22 |
Jeez. Buddy, you look dead. |
00:02:25 |
I wanna see Brockton. |
00:02:30 |
Or Ulmer. |
00:02:32 |
- Yeah? What about? |
00:02:36 |
Yeah? Who was murdered? |
00:02:40 |
I was. |
00:02:54 |
He looks bad, Dan. |
00:03:16 |
Nice of you to fiit in |
00:03:19 |
- We'd about given you up for-- |
00:03:27 |
Dead on arrival. |
00:03:31 |
Just one more on the pile, |
00:03:34 |
How many corpses now? |
00:03:37 |
- Five? |
00:03:47 |
You know, if, uh, Cecil B. over there |
00:03:52 |
I'll try to piece together as best I can |
00:04:09 |
Metcalf, a colour. |
00:04:13 |
Uh, young. Raw. |
00:04:16 |
- Immature. |
00:04:18 |
-Jolly Green Giant. |
00:04:20 |
You people are junk-culture |
00:04:22 |
Now, I mean a literary reference, and |
00:04:27 |
Hmm? Anybody? |
00:04:30 |
Nick? The color green. |
00:04:34 |
What about Shakespeare's line |
00:04:36 |
That's Taylor and Burton |
00:04:39 |
- All right. What's the line, Nick? |
00:04:43 |
Good. Another one. |
00:04:45 |
- ''The text is old, |
00:04:48 |
- What? |
00:04:51 |
I meant another student. |
00:04:54 |
- A bit like a computer. |
00:04:58 |
- ''Garbage in, garbage out.'' |
00:05:02 |
''Don't one-up me in public. I haven't |
00:05:06 |
Okay, can we hear from somebody else? |
00:05:14 |
I'm glad somebody |
00:05:21 |
Mr Sloane, good morning. |
00:05:24 |
- Dreaming of a white Christmas? |
00:05:27 |
- Pulled an all-nighter. |
00:05:30 |
The color green as a metaphor. |
00:05:36 |
- Anybody got any thoughts? |
00:05:39 |
''Oh, beware, my lord, of jealousy. |
00:05:42 |
It is the green-eyed monster |
00:05:49 |
0thello. |
00:05:52 |
Will somebody please |
00:05:55 |
All right, everybody. |
00:06:04 |
- Professor? |
00:06:09 |
Fuller. Sydney Fuller. |
00:06:13 |
I was wondering, |
00:06:18 |
Talk about your salad days. |
00:06:22 |
I can't believe myself, but, yeah. |
00:06:24 |
To Sydney Fuller. |
00:06:27 |
Taken me all semester |
00:06:31 |
That's with a Y. |
00:06:33 |
- S-Y-- |
00:06:35 |
S-Y-D-N-E-Y. Yeah. |
00:06:37 |
That's the reason, you know, I took |
00:06:40 |
they just think that liberal arts |
00:06:43 |
I mean, I've read all of your books, |
00:06:48 |
- Have, though. I read 'em all. |
00:06:51 |
No, they're great. |
00:06:55 |
I didn't stop. |
00:06:59 |
Professor Cornell? Uh, my novel. |
00:07:03 |
- Graded it? Finished it? |
00:07:05 |
- Neither. |
00:07:08 |
Yes, well, Nick, this heat's |
00:07:11 |
- I haven't shown it |
00:07:13 |
Should I feel privileged |
00:07:16 |
- Can I be honest? |
00:07:18 |
Your opinion means a great deal to me. |
00:07:22 |
- It's because of your body of work. |
00:07:24 |
corpse, carcass, cadaver. |
00:07:27 |
If you don't like my novel, I'll die. |
00:07:31 |
Oh. Even worse. |
00:07:33 |
I've spent the whole semester |
00:07:35 |
Well, Nick, it took Hugo 1 6 years |
00:07:38 |
- Yeah, but it only takes |
00:07:40 |
Come on. Anything. Any comment. |
00:07:43 |
Nice typing. |
00:07:52 |
- Something go down the drain? |
00:07:58 |
Yeah. You look like shit, Hal. |
00:08:00 |
I'm an expert on the subject. |
00:08:03 |
Or just up all night toiling against |
00:08:05 |
No, I was up all night |
00:08:08 |
Ah. Playing doctor with Elaine. |
00:08:12 |
Well, you know, the air conditioning |
00:08:16 |
- She was on call all night. |
00:08:19 |
How do you do it in a hospital? |
00:08:22 |
Where else? |
00:08:28 |
Yeah, well, you're gonna have |
00:08:30 |
once you become a full professor. |
00:08:33 |
You son of a bitch. I wondered how long |
00:08:37 |
He said yes, right? |
00:08:39 |
Yeah, another rung up the ladder, |
00:08:41 |
But it wouldn't hurt if you showed up |
00:08:44 |
- I'll be there with bells on. |
00:08:46 |
It'll be your last chance to kiss ass |
00:08:50 |
You know, if you hadn't helped me |
00:08:52 |
I probably wouldn't even have |
00:08:54 |
Yeah, I know. But I'm not gonna |
00:08:57 |
- I'm serious. I wanna thank you |
00:08:59 |
Hey, meet me in the offiice. |
00:09:03 |
- All right. |
00:09:09 |
Hey, Chuck, you spelled |
00:09:35 |
Hey, Dex. Dex, you oughta |
00:09:38 |
I thought you were a PhD, |
00:09:40 |
You know what I am. |
00:09:43 |
mortgaged to the eyeballs |
00:09:46 |
Oh, congratulations, Graham. |
00:09:51 |
Word around the faculty lounge |
00:09:55 |
I've been here longer. |
00:09:57 |
Well, I didn't put Hal's novel |
00:09:59 |
You know academic politics as well |
00:10:02 |
- Always has been, always will be. |
00:10:05 |
Rehashing old classroom lectures |
00:10:09 |
Oh, yeah? When was the last time |
00:10:11 |
Now, there's an interesting article |
00:10:14 |
Young literary lion produces |
00:10:19 |
gets snapped up by snazzy college. |
00:10:21 |
Strong follow-up |
00:10:23 |
that is a little careless |
00:10:27 |
But by then, the lion |
00:10:30 |
Well, you know, |
00:10:34 |
Look, some of us |
00:10:37 |
We're just fucking good teachers! |
00:10:41 |
- Fuckin' asshole! |
00:10:44 |
I don't know. |
00:11:26 |
Uh, this is Gail. |
00:11:30 |
Everything seems to be in order. |
00:11:34 |
Listen, I'm sorry that you had |
00:11:38 |
Um-- Uh, there's |
00:11:45 |
Christ, is it hot enough for you? |
00:11:47 |
They say rain's on the way, |
00:11:50 |
Um-- |
00:11:52 |
I'll talk to you later, okay? |
00:11:58 |
Uh, yeah, hi, Professor. |
00:12:28 |
Mm-hmm. |
00:12:49 |
Oh, shit. |
00:12:52 |
If you don't like my novel, |
00:12:54 |
No, I will. |
00:13:18 |
Shut that, will you? |
00:13:23 |
- Shit. |
00:13:26 |
Time of year, isn't it? |
00:13:32 |
And this heat. Makes a guy |
00:13:36 |
Pretty grim. |
00:13:39 |
- So's this. |
00:13:42 |
I'm on the best-seller list and |
00:13:52 |
What the hell kind of problem could |
00:13:57 |
That was no ordinary college kid. |
00:14:02 |
His father was a thief. |
00:14:05 |
One night about four years ago, |
00:14:09 |
killed the husband. |
00:14:11 |
So what does the widow do? She puts |
00:14:15 |
- The Fitzwaring murder? That's the kid? |
00:14:19 |
Guess all the money in the world |
00:14:26 |
He was a poetic little fucker, though. |
00:14:32 |
- That's Nick's independent project. |
00:14:34 |
- I don't know. I didn't read it. |
00:14:36 |
Mm-mmm. |
00:14:40 |
Well, then what's the A for? |
00:14:43 |
- Ambitious? |
00:14:46 |
What, were you uptight that |
00:14:50 |
No. I was uptight about having |
00:14:53 |
of flatulent student fiiction. |
00:14:56 |
Now I don't have to. |
00:15:03 |
Oh, God. |
00:15:12 |
Not necessarily sober, though. |
00:15:17 |
Merry Christmas. |
00:15:25 |
Less egg, Gail, more nog. |
00:15:29 |
Who's this card from? |
00:15:33 |
- Mine or yours? |
00:15:35 |
- I thought he was dead. |
00:15:44 |
- Student suicide on campus today. |
00:15:50 |
We, uh, mailing out |
00:15:53 |
- I already sent mine out. |
00:15:56 |
Oh, I forgot. |
00:16:00 |
Oh, God, Dex. Why? |
00:16:05 |
Well, don't worry. |
00:16:11 |
Hot date? Didn't think you'd dress |
00:16:14 |
Anybody I know? |
00:16:17 |
- Stop sounding like a husband. |
00:16:19 |
I thought I still was one. |
00:17:07 |
Thank you. |
00:17:14 |
Well, it's a little nicer than |
00:17:22 |
Couldn't you have thought |
00:17:25 |
A lump of coal, perhaps? |
00:17:27 |
Come on. |
00:17:31 |
Uh, you know, this thing would be |
00:17:34 |
I hurt, Dex. And I think |
00:17:37 |
Why? What have I done? |
00:17:39 |
Hmm? Have I cheated on you? |
00:17:41 |
I mean, I'm probably |
00:17:46 |
Maybe you oughta be. At least it'd be |
00:17:50 |
Okay, Gail, I tell you what. |
00:17:53 |
I'm gonna go out and fiind myself a coed |
00:17:56 |
- Can we resume our marriage? |
00:18:01 |
It's funny how that kind of coincides |
00:18:07 |
So that's my great sin, huh? |
00:18:10 |
Perhaps you should've married |
00:18:12 |
- One for the road, Dex? |
00:18:15 |
No. I'm exiting. |
00:18:18 |
Make yourself at home. |
00:18:21 |
- Because I stopped writing? |
00:18:23 |
Goddam it, Gail, don't run out on me! |
00:18:27 |
You did it to yourself. |
00:18:31 |
You were so good, |
00:18:35 |
You know, marriage can't always be |
00:18:38 |
- Two people, |
00:18:41 |
and you don't have the faintest idea |
00:18:44 |
The fact that making love became |
00:18:49 |
But I could take it, |
00:18:51 |
Talk? I talk all day, every day. |
00:18:55 |
No, it's ironic banter. |
00:19:00 |
I'm sorry. I lied when I said, |
00:19:02 |
I'm not gonna stick around and watch |
00:19:04 |
Gail. |
00:19:09 |
- Don't. |
00:19:18 |
Sign those papers before you go. |
00:20:18 |
Ah, a mistake. |
00:20:33 |
It's unclear where the light |
00:20:38 |
- Oh, thank you, Graham. |
00:20:53 |
We've gotta stop meeting like this. |
00:20:55 |
Hey, Dex. |
00:21:00 |
Quit staring, will you? |
00:21:03 |
What's the matter, Hal? |
00:21:05 |
No, no, no.Just your wife. |
00:21:09 |
- She's here? |
00:21:14 |
Uh-oh. |
00:21:17 |
- I know. It's been |
00:21:21 |
Yeah, it gives me a chance |
00:21:24 |
- Anyone special? |
00:21:26 |
- Look what I picked up in the john. |
00:21:31 |
- Did you enjoy your egg nog, Dex? |
00:21:34 |
- Elaine, could you flag me down |
00:21:36 |
- Graham, could you-- |
00:21:39 |
- Did you sign those papers? |
00:21:43 |
Writer's block can get awfully |
00:21:46 |
If I could have |
00:21:52 |
Despite the tragic event |
00:21:55 |
our benefactress, |
00:21:57 |
insisted that we proceed |
00:22:01 |
This gallery was long the dream |
00:22:04 |
Four years ago, |
00:22:07 |
of my husband's murderer |
00:22:09 |
it shocked many people. |
00:22:12 |
But Nicholas Lang was not responsible |
00:22:15 |
And I believed |
00:22:17 |
Over these last four years, |
00:22:22 |
He triumphed over the past, |
00:22:25 |
But sometimes, |
00:22:29 |
- I saw his body at the med centre. |
00:22:31 |
- Nick Lang, the student who jumped. |
00:22:34 |
- What? |
00:22:37 |
-Jeez, Dex. |
00:22:44 |
Gail. |
00:22:52 |
- I'm coming. |
00:22:54 |
- We'll take care of her. |
00:22:56 |
Please, don't complicate it. |
00:23:00 |
It's okay. |
00:23:02 |
Gail, you and Nick Lang? |
00:23:06 |
Gail. |
00:23:08 |
- Talk to me. |
00:23:21 |
Scene of a crime |
00:23:27 |
0ne gets to die |
00:23:29 |
0ne gets the flag |
00:23:32 |
- A slave to desire |
00:23:34 |
The pain of rejection |
00:23:37 |
Too much sex |
00:23:42 |
Read it in the paper |
00:23:44 |
0r watch it on TV |
00:23:48 |
Cry for a stranger |
00:23:53 |
- Try another line |
00:23:55 |
And still no connection |
00:23:58 |
Too much sex |
00:24:02 |
Bartender! |
00:24:12 |
- Thank you. |
00:24:17 |
More where that came from. |
00:24:24 |
You drinking to forget? |
00:24:27 |
To oblivion. |
00:24:31 |
What sorrow are you drowning? |
00:24:34 |
Maybe I just drink because I like it. |
00:24:37 |
Always a sorrow. Lost hope. |
00:24:42 |
Lost love. |
00:24:52 |
Hey, hey, are you all right? |
00:24:59 |
Yeah. I'm just a few drinks |
00:25:02 |
Well, I-- Well, I'll tell you what. |
00:25:07 |
Hey, pal, the lady and I are trying |
00:25:10 |
Set it yourself. |
00:25:15 |
Mother missed you tonight. |
00:25:19 |
''Freaked out''? |
00:25:23 |
Oh!Jesus, Mary and Joseph! |
00:25:30 |
Come on, dear. |
00:25:39 |
Professor Cornell? |
00:25:43 |
- Uh, Miss-- |
00:25:45 |
Sydney Fuller. Yeah. |
00:25:49 |
God, isn't it awful |
00:25:53 |
- Yeah, just one of many. |
00:25:56 |
Something I can do for you? |
00:26:08 |
Will you have a drink with me? |
00:26:11 |
Okay. |
00:26:14 |
- Oh, a martini. |
00:26:19 |
- First one? |
00:26:22 |
And not enough |
00:26:43 |
What? Okay, I give up. |
00:26:50 |
Oh, God, Eddie. |
00:26:52 |
You have hit rock bottom |
00:26:54 |
but I still love you. |
00:26:57 |
Okay, I gotta go. |
00:27:02 |
- Where did the female reindeer go? |
00:27:14 |
- Oh, my God. Am I where I think I am? |
00:27:20 |
- Does this get worse? What happened? |
00:27:23 |
- You were amazing! |
00:27:26 |
- Can't handle praise? |
00:27:29 |
- I'm over 1 8. |
00:27:33 |
means that I'd better get dressed |
00:27:37 |
I was amazing fully dressed? |
00:27:41 |
Guess I had you going there, huh? |
00:27:43 |
Yeah. Uh, now, wait a minute. |
00:27:46 |
I seem to remember a lot of drinks, |
00:27:51 |
Yeah, I made the pass. |
00:27:55 |
You were very gracious |
00:27:57 |
You said I was pretty, you said I was |
00:28:00 |
about rules and ethics, |
00:28:03 |
And then something about |
00:28:05 |
all the while trying |
00:28:08 |
- Yeah, but I-I didn't exit. |
00:28:11 |
- Yeah. |
00:28:14 |
Thank you. |
00:28:16 |
This boyfriend of yours, um-- |
00:28:20 |
- Huh? |
00:28:22 |
Oh, no, that's my brother, Eddie. |
00:28:24 |
- He called with his annual |
00:28:28 |
- Syd, want to hit the gym? |
00:28:33 |
- Guess you've already exercised. |
00:28:36 |
Listen, this room is strategically |
00:28:39 |
So you can let yourself out whenever. |
00:28:44 |
- Anyway, so it was fun, Professor. |
00:28:48 |
Dex. |
00:28:50 |
Okay, I guess |
00:28:54 |
- Barb! I don't believe you! |
00:29:00 |
I'm trapped in a girls' dormitory |
00:29:22 |
Gail? |
00:29:25 |
Hi, Dex. |
00:29:27 |
Hi. |
00:29:30 |
- How are you? |
00:29:34 |
- Elaine gave me some pills. |
00:29:40 |
Look, Gail, I-I-- |
00:29:42 |
but I am sorry. |
00:29:45 |
Dex, I'm so sorry |
00:29:48 |
There was nothing vindictive in it. |
00:29:54 |
I guess I was just |
00:29:58 |
- He was so young. |
00:30:01 |
I didn't find out till later |
00:30:05 |
Boy, some shrink would have |
00:30:10 |
He reminded me so much |
00:30:13 |
Remember? |
00:30:16 |
What, you-you mean the little place |
00:30:20 |
- Yeah. |
00:30:25 |
You did write. |
00:30:28 |
- You were full of passion and purpose. |
00:30:33 |
- That wasn't love, Dex. |
00:30:38 |
He just made me feel like |
00:30:46 |
- Dex, there was no reason-- |
00:30:50 |
- I'm coming over there, Gail. |
00:30:54 |
Listen. |
00:30:57 |
Uh, come by tonight. |
00:31:00 |
I'll go out for a bit. |
00:31:03 |
You've got to sign those papers. |
00:31:08 |
And you left your briefcase here. |
00:31:16 |
I'll leave it by the tree, okay? |
00:31:19 |
I don't think you should be |
00:31:24 |
Please. Please don't come over. |
00:31:32 |
I love you. |
00:31:43 |
I know, Dex. |
00:31:47 |
I know. |
00:32:51 |
This is no hangover. |
00:33:02 |
- Dex! |
00:33:32 |
- What's taking so long? |
00:33:35 |
- Oh, great. Let me see. |
00:33:39 |
It's radium chloride. |
00:33:42 |
- Are you absolutely sure about this? |
00:33:46 |
Toxicology ran through these twice |
00:34:02 |
Sorry you had to wait so long. |
00:34:04 |
I'm feeling a lot better. |
00:34:08 |
Sit down, Dex, please. |
00:34:10 |
- What's that? |
00:34:12 |
You're not gonna make me |
00:34:14 |
No, Dex. You already did. |
00:34:17 |
- We, uh, ran the test twice. |
00:34:20 |
It's a toxic luminous solution, |
00:34:24 |
- What, from eating too much tuna fiish? |
00:34:28 |
Oh, bullshit, Elaine. I had too much |
00:34:32 |
- I come over here |
00:34:35 |
It's been in your body |
00:34:37 |
We found toxic traces. Our |
00:34:40 |
- Well, how did it get in there? |
00:34:43 |
suggests you got it in some liquor. |
00:34:47 |
Well, what are you gonna do? |
00:34:50 |
- What? |
00:34:54 |
This will help you. |
00:34:57 |
Thank God I came to see you, Elaine. |
00:35:04 |
There's not gonna be any, uh, |
00:35:09 |
- I've given you some sodium Amytal... |
00:35:12 |
to help relax you. |
00:35:14 |
Dex. |
00:35:17 |
This poison has been absorbed |
00:35:22 |
Even if there were an antidote, |
00:35:26 |
''Too late'' meaning what? |
00:35:32 |
There's nothing we can do. |
00:35:42 |
- How long? |
00:35:44 |
- How much was ingested, the systemic |
00:35:51 |
Twenty-four hours. |
00:35:54 |
It's a mistake. |
00:35:57 |
I wish it were. |
00:36:00 |
I need a drink. |
00:36:02 |
Of course. |
00:36:05 |
You'll be comfortable. |
00:37:59 |
Shit. Come on. |
00:38:01 |
Come on! |
00:38:06 |
Gail! |
00:38:08 |
Gail! |
00:38:12 |
Gail! |
00:38:17 |
Gail! Gail! |
00:38:21 |
Gail! |
00:38:24 |
Gail! G-- |
00:38:30 |
Gail! |
00:38:55 |
Look, I gave him a sedative. |
00:38:57 |
- I see. We'll call you if we need you. |
00:39:05 |
Found this in your wife's hand. |
00:39:10 |
We're guessing the rest of it's |
00:39:12 |
A little too hot |
00:39:17 |
Here. |
00:39:26 |
Come on, Cornell. You and the wife had |
00:39:29 |
Right? |
00:39:31 |
- You found some love letters, |
00:39:34 |
- She tried to stop you, |
00:39:36 |
- Things escalated, |
00:39:40 |
- Oh, you're just |
00:39:43 |
- to talk to my wife. |
00:39:47 |
- That I'd been a bastard. |
00:39:51 |
To apologize to her. |
00:39:56 |
- And to say good-bye. |
00:40:01 |
Is that the best your prosaic, |
00:40:05 |
It's a prosaic, |
00:40:07 |
Yeah, well, if I'd wanted to lop off |
00:40:10 |
- it would have been |
00:40:13 |
- That was the next question. |
00:40:16 |
to question your wife |
00:40:18 |
- Heard it came as a shock to her. |
00:40:22 |
Nick Lang didn't jump off any roof. |
00:40:25 |
Lot of scuff marks on the roof. Nicky |
00:40:29 |
Plus his apartment got broken into |
00:40:32 |
- What does that have |
00:40:35 |
Nothing seemed stolen. |
00:40:39 |
-Maybe someone found him. |
00:40:42 |
Did you, uh, see him there? |
00:40:45 |
Look, this is bullshit. |
00:40:47 |
Come on! |
00:40:50 |
Dex didn't even know |
00:40:53 |
- So he tells you. |
00:40:57 |
Stopped by for a little |
00:41:00 |
What if I did? |
00:41:02 |
Jealous husband |
00:41:06 |
so angry wife serves him |
00:41:09 |
Next morning he wakes up |
00:41:11 |
and fiinds out he was murdered. |
00:41:14 |
So he drops by for |
00:41:19 |
- Murdered? |
00:41:23 |
but the prose style holds up. |
00:41:25 |
- What do you mean, murdered? |
00:41:28 |
That's not too easy to come by. |
00:41:32 |
It's true, Dex. You ran out before |
00:41:35 |
Of course, |
00:41:38 |
Maybe Lang poisoned you, |
00:41:41 |
Or it could go the other way. |
00:41:44 |
You wanted to kill them. |
00:41:46 |
- Or everybody loses. |
00:41:50 |
Oh, right, |
00:41:52 |
Well, just because I didn't see him |
00:41:55 |
- Careful, Cornell. You're upset. |
00:41:58 |
I fiind out I'm a murder victim |
00:42:01 |
- Look, he's sick. |
00:42:04 |
- Cornell's under arrest. |
00:42:07 |
- Mr. Cornell, you have the right |
00:42:10 |
- Get back! Get back! |
00:42:13 |
- Easy, Dex!Jesus! Look. |
00:42:16 |
First you're resisting arrest. |
00:42:19 |
- Sorry. Don't have time to stand trial. |
00:42:21 |
-Just hold it. |
00:42:24 |
- Think it over, Cornell. |
00:42:26 |
- He'll do it! He will! |
00:42:29 |
- Back off! |
00:42:32 |
With a rebel yell |
00:42:37 |
Wow |
00:42:40 |
More, more, more |
00:42:43 |
With a rebel yell |
00:42:46 |
More, more, more |
00:42:52 |
He lives in his own heaven |
00:42:56 |
Collects it to go from the 7-1 1 |
00:43:02 |
Well, he's out all night |
00:43:07 |
Just so long, just so long |
00:43:19 |
Don't scream! |
00:43:24 |
God, you scared me! |
00:43:27 |
- I needed to see you. |
00:43:30 |
Okay, okay. |
00:43:34 |
Okay. |
00:43:37 |
Oh, yeah. It's kind of stupid, |
00:43:40 |
Get it? |
00:43:43 |
I thought it was either this |
00:43:45 |
- But then I thought, |
00:43:48 |
- What are you talking about? |
00:43:51 |
You sit in my class anonymously |
00:43:55 |
Then suddenly, you just announce |
00:43:57 |
You ask me for an autograph. |
00:44:00 |
- I went with a friend. |
00:44:02 |
- I wouldn't call it a plan. |
00:44:05 |
- Um, a cr-- |
00:44:07 |
Uh-huh. Yesterday, |
00:44:10 |
- Today, I have no life! |
00:44:13 |
Stop it. |
00:44:46 |
Okay, okay, |
00:44:50 |
And a few hours ago, my wife... |
00:44:53 |
she was, uh, murdered |
00:44:55 |
So, uh, you're just gonna |
00:44:58 |
because I've never |
00:45:02 |
Don't worry. |
00:45:05 |
But you are my link |
00:45:08 |
So we're gonna retrace our steps-- |
00:45:11 |
- ''We''? No. Wait a minute. |
00:45:15 |
No, I can't help you. |
00:45:18 |
No, I've already had the police. |
00:45:21 |
- They think I murdered my wife. |
00:45:24 |
Now, that's just silly, |
00:45:27 |
I'm just gonna call the police, |
00:45:31 |
Okay? |
00:45:35 |
Uh, hi. Uh, is this the police? |
00:45:39 |
No cops. |
00:45:42 |
- Let go of my arm. |
00:45:45 |
- Ow. |
00:45:48 |
Bonds in seconds. |
00:45:51 |
This is kidnapping, you know. |
00:45:53 |
Yeah, if I'm lucky, they'll |
00:45:56 |
No, I don't. Let go of my arm, |
00:45:59 |
Look, if I let go of your arm, |
00:46:05 |
One, two! |
00:46:25 |
I'm supposed to be |
00:46:27 |
Yeah, well, excuse me, but dying's kind |
00:46:31 |
Ain't it a bitch? |
00:46:33 |
I'm really sorry. |
00:46:37 |
But I just can't handle this. |
00:46:40 |
I'm scared. I'm confused. |
00:46:42 |
All right. Okay. |
00:46:45 |
That makes two of us. |
00:46:47 |
And I have to go to the bathroom. |
00:46:57 |
All right. Look. |
00:47:00 |
We'll go to a men's room. |
00:47:02 |
I'll put you in a stall, |
00:47:05 |
No. There is no way I am walking |
00:47:08 |
- I'm just not gonna do it. |
00:47:10 |
You can get me on your couch any day. |
00:47:14 |
And there's no way |
00:47:16 |
I'm not doing it. |
00:47:19 |
It's not enough I'm wanted for murder. |
00:47:30 |
I can't go. |
00:47:33 |
Make some noise.Just talk. |
00:47:35 |
You wanna hear some snappy patter |
00:47:37 |
nature's way of telling you |
00:47:40 |
I mean, I don't know |
00:47:42 |
but I'm defiinitely taking |
00:47:46 |
I mean, Syd, I'm no good at this. |
00:47:49 |
about my own extinction. |
00:47:53 |
You know, it's funny. |
00:47:56 |
I mean, I always thought |
00:48:00 |
older people, unlucky people. |
00:48:04 |
Not me. Not Gail. |
00:48:09 |
I mean, I always knew my number |
00:48:14 |
Damn it! Why? |
00:48:20 |
- You have any enemies? |
00:48:31 |
- What are you doing here? |
00:48:33 |
- What-- He doesn't wanna see you. |
00:48:38 |
Dex? |
00:48:41 |
- Surprised to see me up and about? |
00:48:44 |
Thought I'd be safely slid away |
00:48:47 |
-Just calm down, Dex-- |
00:48:51 |
- I didn't do that! |
00:48:53 |
You were much more impressive this |
00:48:56 |
- This afternoon? |
00:48:58 |
Of course you do. |
00:49:01 |
-Just like every other Friday |
00:49:06 |
Is today Friday? |
00:49:16 |
So, who we gonna punch |
00:49:19 |
- Got any better ideas? |
00:49:23 |
-There's gotta be a reason for all this. |
00:49:26 |
My Mark Twain lecture drove |
00:49:28 |
Syd, guys like me, |
00:49:31 |
run over by cars maybe, but nobody |
00:49:35 |
We just don't inspire |
00:49:38 |
The killing didn't start with you. |
00:49:41 |
- Nick Lang. |
00:49:48 |
Hey, you know, sometimes cops go |
00:49:51 |
What? Wait, wait. |
00:49:54 |
and you think the killer's |
00:49:56 |
Yeah. Get in. |
00:49:58 |
There's a hell of a strange story |
00:50:13 |
So this thief breaks into |
00:50:15 |
The old man wakes up. He's upstairs, |
00:50:20 |
Thief shoots the old man, right? |
00:50:24 |
Uh, he grabs the gun, |
00:50:28 |
- Wait a minute. |
00:50:33 |
Oh. |
00:50:37 |
Here. |
00:50:40 |
Like this. Here. |
00:50:44 |
- So-So, wait, there's a struggle? |
00:50:46 |
For the gun. The gun goes off. |
00:50:49 |
- And the burglar is Nick's father? |
00:50:52 |
Now, the widow, Mrs Fitzwaring... |
00:50:54 |
she makes a special |
00:50:56 |
- She put him through college. |
00:50:59 |
Well, it's not exactly something |
00:51:03 |
So you think all this |
00:51:06 |
- Hal. |
00:51:09 |
- Meet Syd. |
00:51:13 |
- Hi. Those two cops are looking |
00:51:15 |
- Tweedledum and Tweedle-dumber? |
00:51:18 |
- You gotta get outta here, man. |
00:51:21 |
- You fiind something out? |
00:51:24 |
- Nothing I can do? |
00:51:28 |
You got a fiiver on you? |
00:51:33 |
A father whose only legacy |
00:51:38 |
One would like to think that Nick not |
00:51:44 |
but also that he'd found a home here. |
00:51:47 |
And judging by the turnout tonight... |
00:51:50 |
I'd say he had. |
00:51:53 |
It was a pleasure to have Nick |
00:51:57 |
Perhaps only the bard can explain |
00:52:02 |
''To sue to live, |
00:52:07 |
And seeking death, fiind life. |
00:52:11 |
Let it come on.'' |
00:52:15 |
Miss Fitzwaring, I know you'd like |
00:52:22 |
- Nick would've loved-- |
00:52:26 |
That's Cookie Fitzwaring. |
00:52:29 |
- My dear, may I-- |
00:52:33 |
You should've quoted |
00:52:36 |
Nick and I, we were-- |
00:53:05 |
Shit. |
00:53:12 |
I know that guy. |
00:53:14 |
He was in the bar last night. |
00:53:28 |
- Your mother's waiting. |
00:53:32 |
You fucked things up royally tonight. |
00:53:34 |
Don't I always? |
00:53:42 |
You're still a few drinks short |
00:53:46 |
How's that little nasty burn |
00:53:48 |
-Jesus, Bernard! |
00:53:54 |
- I don't think-- |
00:53:57 |
- I loved Nick, and he loved me. |
00:54:01 |
- What do you know about him? |
00:54:05 |
- We don't like what you're inferring. |
00:54:08 |
You see, when I say something, |
00:54:11 |
- How you take it, that's inferring. |
00:54:14 |
Then infer this. |
00:54:20 |
Cookie! Hey, come here! |
00:54:37 |
- Oh, God. We're back at the stage. |
00:55:51 |
- Wait! |
00:55:57 |
- Wait! |
00:56:07 |
Help me! Please! Help! |
00:57:00 |
Syd! Sydney! Where you going? |
00:57:03 |
Where do you think? |
00:57:05 |
Shit. Wait, Sydney! |
00:57:12 |
You know, I don't get off |
00:57:23 |
I wanted to spend the night with you, |
00:57:29 |
- Hey! |
00:57:31 |
- Hey! Wait! |
00:57:34 |
Wait. Wait. |
00:57:36 |
Oh, my God, look at your arm. |
00:57:38 |
Drop dead. |
00:57:55 |
I didn't mean to say that. |
00:58:04 |
So, what do you do now? |
00:58:10 |
Find Mrs Fitzwaring |
00:58:13 |
And what if the chauffeur |
00:58:16 |
What have I got to lose, huh? |
00:58:20 |
I've already screwed up my life |
00:58:27 |
What do you mean? |
00:58:31 |
I had just quit. |
00:58:34 |
I was a success, |
00:58:39 |
So I just quit. |
00:58:44 |
I wanna help you, Dex. |
00:58:46 |
You already have. |
00:58:49 |
- I feel really bad. |
00:58:53 |
I mean, you just-- you just |
00:58:58 |
you almost got me shot-- |
00:59:02 |
I mean, most girls wait a lifetime |
00:59:16 |
I gotta go. |
00:59:19 |
It's getting late. |
00:59:24 |
I'm not gonna see you again, am I? |
00:59:38 |
Cab! |
00:59:45 |
- Take her to the med centre. |
01:00:19 |
Now, don't worry. |
01:00:23 |
''Don't worry''? That man |
01:00:26 |
I didn't let the cat |
01:00:28 |
What are you doing here? |
01:00:34 |
- Professor Cornell, isn't it? |
01:00:36 |
It was your wife who fell apart |
01:00:40 |
Yes, and it was your Cookie |
01:00:43 |
Seems they both had a bad case |
01:00:47 |
- What do you know about Nick? |
01:00:55 |
Cookie. |
01:01:00 |
- I hope it's just you that's loaded. |
01:01:03 |
- What did you do, Mother? |
01:01:06 |
Enough. |
01:01:10 |
She forced Nick to stop seeing me. |
01:01:12 |
What, so Nick was worthy |
01:01:16 |
The fact is that she considered Nick |
01:01:19 |
- You're so wrong. |
01:01:25 |
Your-- Your little diamond |
01:01:28 |
You couldn't stand anyone else |
01:01:32 |
- And you were always jealous of us. |
01:01:35 |
She nearly flew into a rage when |
01:01:38 |
Cookie! Stop this. |
01:01:41 |
- See what I mean? |
01:01:44 |
I wouldn't do anything |
01:01:46 |
But you did hurt me. |
01:01:50 |
Whatever I did, Cookie, |
01:01:54 |
Believe me, he could never love you, |
01:01:59 |
Not the way you wanted. |
01:02:02 |
S-So you-- you had him killed. |
01:02:05 |
You-- |
01:02:09 |
Cookie, come back! |
01:02:21 |
Don't fuck with me, Bernard. |
01:02:24 |
All right. |
01:02:29 |
Then have a little lie-down. |
01:02:37 |
- God, it's all such a mess. |
01:02:41 |
We don't even know if he can prove |
01:02:46 |
- Couldn't we just call in the police, |
01:02:50 |
Whether he can prove anything or not, |
01:02:55 |
- Look, it's simple. |
01:02:58 |
And bring Cookie back. In her state, |
01:03:03 |
-How do you know that Nick was murdered? |
01:03:07 |
Then you know |
01:03:20 |
It's so sick. |
01:03:25 |
But why me? |
01:03:29 |
I mean, I can almost understand Gail. |
01:03:33 |
Gail. |
01:03:37 |
- Why me? |
01:03:39 |
Oh, come on, Bernard. Can't you |
01:03:43 |
Where do I fiit into |
01:03:47 |
Is the heat getting to you, old chum? |
01:03:56 |
- We're on campus. |
01:04:00 |
- Now, how's your archaeology? |
01:04:03 |
I thought the tar pit might interest |
01:04:06 |
Nothing personal. |
01:04:12 |
What the fuck? |
01:04:23 |
Happy hour. |
01:04:27 |
Drinking and driving |
01:04:29 |
I was trying to kill you, |
01:04:37 |
Stay away from me. |
01:04:42 |
- You can't make me go back there. |
01:04:46 |
Let me go! |
01:04:49 |
All right. |
01:04:57 |
- What are you doing here? |
01:05:03 |
- You're not taking me home. |
01:05:06 |
- Cork it, Cornell, or else I-- |
01:05:10 |
Cornell, I'm tired of your crap. |
01:05:12 |
- Is something burning? |
01:05:16 |
Jesus! |
01:05:34 |
Oh, God! |
01:05:49 |
Fuck! |
01:05:53 |
- Payback time, Bernard! |
01:06:06 |
Look out! |
01:06:09 |
- Slow down, Cookie! |
01:06:27 |
Cookie! |
01:06:30 |
God! Cookie! |
01:09:09 |
Oh! Look at this jerk!Jeez! |
01:09:12 |
The guy's drunk. |
01:09:22 |
Fuckin' asshole. |
01:09:25 |
And a beer! |
01:09:32 |
Yeah, buddy! |
01:09:34 |
Leave him alone! |
01:09:44 |
- What? The guy's a drunk. |
01:09:47 |
- Maybe he's hurt. |
01:09:50 |
I'll call an ambulance. |
01:10:07 |
You didn't have to do that, Syd. |
01:10:15 |
So I was just supposed to let them |
01:10:19 |
Not bad. |
01:10:21 |
You know, my mother, she used to |
01:10:27 |
I guess nobody does that any more. |
01:10:30 |
Mine does. |
01:10:33 |
Are you going home for Christmas? |
01:10:36 |
Mm-hmm. |
01:10:38 |
Where's home? |
01:10:40 |
Kansas. |
01:10:42 |
Kansas? |
01:10:47 |
What do you do for Christmas |
01:10:50 |
Well, um, the whole clan |
01:10:52 |
We haven't seen each other |
01:10:57 |
and watch Miracle on 34th Street |
01:11:01 |
Great. |
01:11:05 |
What else? |
01:11:09 |
And... |
01:11:13 |
we all give each other presents |
01:11:17 |
And if we need them, |
01:11:22 |
Pretty awful, huh? |
01:11:29 |
Pretty nice. |
01:11:35 |
- It'll be good to see Eddie. |
01:11:38 |
Mm-hmm. |
01:11:40 |
Oh, yeah. Where do |
01:11:45 |
- Oh. No. |
01:11:55 |
Where do all the female reindeer go |
01:12:04 |
They go into town |
01:12:12 |
Oh, no, no, no, no. |
01:12:20 |
I'm so scared for you. |
01:12:23 |
Oh... |
01:12:25 |
it'll be a breeze. |
01:12:29 |
The fiirst million years |
01:12:32 |
The second million-- |
01:12:37 |
- It's just so unfair. |
01:12:41 |
I've been dead for four years now. |
01:12:44 |
Gail was right. |
01:12:46 |
It just took a little poisoning |
01:12:51 |
- You're more alive |
01:12:56 |
I forgot how to appreciate life. |
01:13:00 |
It's too late for me. |
01:13:07 |
This is life. |
01:13:10 |
Right here. |
01:13:12 |
Right now. |
01:13:15 |
Take it. |
01:13:28 |
Please. |
01:14:41 |
2-Bravo-6, 1 0-4. En route. |
01:14:45 |
Check the car out. |
01:15:00 |
I don't know what the cops told you, |
01:15:06 |
Bernard did. |
01:15:09 |
It's just that people have this habit |
01:15:12 |
Didn't they? |
01:15:16 |
So it's all come full circle, right back |
01:15:20 |
No, you brought it to my door. |
01:15:24 |
And you never really knew anything, |
01:15:28 |
I know you had quite a long hit list. |
01:15:31 |
We've been at cross purposes, |
01:15:35 |
I don't believe you. |
01:15:38 |
Cookie was wrong. |
01:15:42 |
- I didn't kill Nick. |
01:15:46 |
Now, I want to know! |
01:15:50 |
Why were you so obsessed |
01:15:56 |
Who was he to you? |
01:16:02 |
My son. |
01:16:06 |
- Cookie never knew. |
01:16:13 |
- The man who killed your husband. |
01:16:17 |
Abandoned along with Nick |
01:16:22 |
I don't know how he found me |
01:16:25 |
but he was here that night |
01:16:30 |
I asked him what he wanted. He said |
01:16:38 |
Lang had told Fitzwaring |
01:16:41 |
There was a scene. Ugly words |
01:16:48 |
Fitzwaring told Lang to leave. |
01:16:51 |
He said that Lang |
01:16:53 |
He told me to leave too, |
01:16:56 |
He said I would never |
01:16:59 |
You must understand that what I did, |
01:17:03 |
and my son. |
01:17:10 |
Bernard understood. |
01:17:12 |
He told the police |
01:17:15 |
had shot Fitzwaring, attacked me. |
01:17:18 |
Then Bernard and the prowler |
01:17:22 |
It went off. |
01:17:25 |
That was our story. |
01:17:30 |
Nick was my son. |
01:17:34 |
Although he could never know that |
01:17:38 |
Now he's gone. |
01:17:41 |
They're all gone. |
01:17:44 |
There's nothing. |
01:17:50 |
All this time |
01:19:20 |
God. |
01:19:26 |
God! |
01:19:32 |
Goddam it! Why? |
01:19:39 |
Shit! Shit! |
01:21:28 |
It's Dex. |
01:21:30 |
I'm in my offiice. |
01:21:34 |
I need you. |
01:22:10 |
Dex? |
01:22:19 |
Hey, Dex. |
01:22:28 |
Dex? Hey. |
01:22:31 |
Hey, buddy. |
01:22:36 |
- Uh, you don't look so good. |
01:22:41 |
I'm alive. |
01:22:45 |
Hell, you know, |
01:22:52 |
Can't you feel it, Hal? |
01:22:55 |
I don't feel anything. |
01:22:59 |
One for the road. |
01:23:06 |
Merry Christmas. |
01:23:18 |
No. |
01:23:20 |
- Why? |
01:23:23 |
- Why did you kill me? |
01:23:26 |
Where did you get the poison? |
01:23:36 |
I stole it from the med centre |
01:23:41 |
playin' a little ''heigh-ho, Silver.'' |
01:23:44 |
- She had an emergency call. |
01:23:51 |
- 0ut of Whack. |
01:23:53 |
One minute after I give you the damn |
01:23:56 |
- Read what? |
01:23:59 |
Nick Lang's novel? |
01:24:02 |
Well, I'm gonna pass it off |
01:24:06 |
I have to, man. |
01:24:09 |
And my book-- my book. |
01:24:13 |
Well, everything about it that was good |
01:24:19 |
I was in here last week |
01:24:23 |
I see Nick Lang's book |
01:24:25 |
So I pick it up, |
01:24:33 |
Guess I knew what I was gonna do |
01:24:44 |
What's so funny? |
01:24:54 |
- What's so funny? |
01:24:58 |
Some kid's lousy homework? |
01:25:00 |
No. I just fiinished telling you, |
01:25:03 |
It's one of the best damn books |
01:25:06 |
That's why I had to do it. |
01:25:11 |
I mean, Lang was easy. |
01:25:15 |
Light as a feather. |
01:25:23 |
But you, in the john the other day-- |
01:25:28 |
Why Gail? |
01:25:32 |
- Why did you have to kill her? |
01:25:36 |
I got all the copies |
01:25:38 |
I put your copy in the damned garbage. |
01:25:41 |
You picked it up, |
01:25:43 |
- And left it at Gail's. |
01:25:45 |
I saw it there when Elaine and I |
01:25:48 |
So you burn it. |
01:25:52 |
She tried to stop you. |
01:25:54 |
You bludgeoned her, freshened up... |
01:25:58 |
then went out for a night on the theatre |
01:26:01 |
I thought she found something out. |
01:26:04 |
I had to make sure that nobody knew |
01:26:07 |
so that everybody knows |
01:26:10 |
- That was worth somebody's life? |
01:26:13 |
Why should that kid |
01:26:16 |
Jesus, Dex, he was fucking your wife, |
01:26:21 |
So, who you gonna kill |
01:26:24 |
All I need is just |
01:26:27 |
After this book comes out, |
01:26:29 |
And you can bet that I'm not gonna |
01:26:33 |
Well, at least they were my laurels. |
01:26:37 |
Why does it come so easy |
01:26:39 |
Big Dex. You just cruise in here, |
01:26:46 |
You don't have a fucking clue how hard |
01:26:50 |
I'm gonna have my shot! |
01:26:52 |
No, you'll never know. |
01:26:55 |
That feeling doesn't come from money. |
01:26:59 |
It comes from doing the work, Hal... |
01:27:03 |
from realizing a vision. |
01:27:05 |
You think you could |
01:27:08 |
Passion? |
01:27:10 |
Man, where do you get off |
01:27:14 |
- You lost it. |
01:27:17 |
These last two days, I had it. |
01:27:20 |
You had it, all right. |
01:27:25 |
Man, Dex, you had a talent. |
01:27:29 |
You had a talent others would-- |
01:27:34 |
Kill for? |
01:27:37 |
Yeah, that's right. Kill for. |
01:27:41 |
Isn't that what it's all about? |
01:27:44 |
Publish or perish? |
01:28:47 |
Perish. |
01:29:55 |
Just somebody's homework. |
01:29:58 |
That was all. |
