Date of birth, December one, 1993.

Who got here first, Paramedics or fire?

Paramedics, But when we came in,

Fire personnel were Here, too, plus the parents.

That must have Been a zoo.

Yeah, it was Pandemonium.

So when they got here, She was already gone?

Already gone, Mm-hmm.

But they tried to revive her Anyway, eh?

That's right.

I think it's hard to see a child And do nothing.

The parents were crying, Begging them to do something.

Any evidence This is anything but a natural?

Nothing. My partner Took a quick look around

When I talked to the parents. The place is well kept up.

Yeah, she looks pretty Well nourished, too.

- what do you think? - yes, sir.

You don't know What it is?

Don't know, no. No clue.

Okay, let's talk To the parents.

The mother's being looked at By the paramedics.

She fainted dead away, Hit her head on the doorjamb.

Can you just tell them I want to talk To them now?

Could you do that?

This is not good.

I got a shots-fired call At 6:08.

I was up on pender,

And I got here probably Two minutes later, tops.

I came around The other side,

In case there was Any evidence,

But when the paramedics Came in,

They made kind Of a mess out of things.

He was dead When they got here?

Yeah.

You see anybody On the road,

On foot, or in a car On your way in?

- no, nobody. - who called it in?

There was Some taxi driver

Up on the main road.

He heard the shots.

Okay, give me his Contact number.

Maybe he saw something.

I actually already Talked to him.

He said that he had Looked down this way

And he saw this car Just sitting here.

He maybe saw another car Moving along the road

Going east,

But wasn't sure

If it was coming From down here.

Can you see How the passenger's Door's open there?

- she's leaned out, Shot in the back. - yeah.

Maybe she was Trying to get away.

Couple shots In the windshield there.

Well, a car pulls up.

The driver Rolls down his window.

Gunman gets out of the car, Gun comes out,

This driver Grabs the guy and the gun,

And one shot goes wild Through the window.

Yeah, it could Happen like that.

It's possible.

Well, the angles are down, The shooting angles,

And that gunshot In the driver

Looks like it came From close.

Overheard him Saying so.

Did you tell Any other cops about this?

No, no. I just Wanted you to know.

And he's too damn loud All the time.

Always banging On the wall.

I mean, I could see

If he was living With a chick

And he was Hitting the wall

Instead of hitting her,

But this guy Lives alone.

What the hell's

He banging On the wall for?

You hungry?

You want to share?

Well, I just think I've got a case of the blues,

That's all.

Maybe the job's Getting me down sometimes,

You know?

I thought you Loved your job?

I love my job.

Sometimes I think I'm grinding it out

Just in the hope Of something better

Down the road.

You're describing My life.

So what's the point?

I'm just not paying attention.

I'm letting The important stuff slip away.

Yeah, I know How that can be.

Emergency doctor's name Is carrillo.

I wrote it Down for you.

Okay.

And, uh...

Put on your Happy face.

Thank you, helen.

Bluebird on your shoulder.

Thank you.

Let a smile Be your umbrella.

Excuse me.

Eight years old,

Found dead in her bed By her parents.

What's the history?

Oh, aches, pains,

Headaches, fever.

She was seen by an e.R. Doctor The day... The evening

Before her death.

What'd you find At post?

Well, specifically, Two things.

Spleen was Slightly enlarged.

- it's got That off-slate color. - not unusual in acute deaths.

Yeah. Take A look at this.

The brain Is so peppered with purpura,

It's orange. I sectioned it,

But the results will be God knows how long.

Full tox spectrum, Virus, bacteria,

Everything on a rush, But...

Maybe we should do a smear. That'll give us something quick.

If there's something there, We've got the jump.

I've never seen Anything that would cause Brian hemorrhaging like this.

Eight years old. Hardly got a chance.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I was thinking the same thing.

She would have Just graduated grade two.

Take a look At the chart yourself.

Blood pressure normal,

Slightly elevated Temperature, headaches.

Those are flu symptoms,

I saw a dozen cases of it Last night.

Oh, so you just went Right ahead and wrote it up

Just like another case

You'd been seeing All night.

How close Did you examine her?

You have no idea

What caused That little girl to die,

And to accuse me Of misdiagnosis

Is malicious, So don't.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?

It's just I don't want To make any mistakes,

So maybe this one time You can forgive me.

Did you run any tests On the little girl?

Have you been In an emergency ward lately?

Your point Would be what?

Are you ordering An autopsy?

Yes. Explain this to me, okay?

12 hours after a little girl Sees a physician--

And that's you-- She dies.

The parents Want to know a reason.

I'd like the same answer, Absolutely.

Please keep me informed

Regarding The post-mortem results.

Oh, you're going To hear all about it, Count on that,

Plus I'm going to see All your notes on all The examinations you did

Last night In the e.R., okay?

And for what reason Would you need those?

Cynthia was the only Patient who died,

And it wasn't On my shift.

It wasn't on your shift, Doctor? What is this, Shifting-blame time?

- you going to blame Everybody but yourself? - she left here

Under her parents' Supervision.

What happened after that I had no control over.

I just want to see All your notes

To make sure you did Thorough examinations.

When I find An opportunity,

You'll get them.

No, your opportunity Is right now, doctor.

10 minutes from now,

It's a court order Comes knocking over here.

What do you Want to do?

You call it.

I think it is Your choice, no?

Yes, okay.

A court order it is then.

...Working as a bouncer,

You're bound to make A few enemies around.

Curtis was A pretty mellow guy.

He wouldn't Go looking for a scrap,

- but he wouldn't run from it. - he was with a young woman

That we're trying To get an identification on. Was he dating anybody?

Not that I Knew about.

He probably Had something going on.

He played the field.

How about One of the dancers here?

- I don't know about that. - was he into anything

That would have got him Behind the eight ball,

Like gambling debts, drugs, That kind of thing?

No. Curtis was a pretty Straight-ahead kid.

I mean, he wanted to be a cop At one time.

Yeah.

Got off at 2:00, You said?

Well, that's what His time card says.

Excuse me, guys. Ruby.

- when's my first set? - 20 minutes.

- thanks for coming in On short notice, huh? - no problem.

Short notice. She was kind of choked.

You got a dancer Bail out on you?

Oh yeah. Probably slept in or whatever.

Would she have been working Last night?

Yeah. Why?

Was this her?

- yeah, that's her. - what's her name?

Lisa something.

I don't know her last name. I can get it for you.

She have Any family or friends here?

That's her roommate Coming off the stage right now.

These are parasites.

Malignant tertian malaria From plasmodium falciparum,

A.K.A. Cerebral malaria.

And that's transmitted By mosquitoes or what?

That's where it starts, As far as I know.

Seems to me

The e.R. Physician Should have recognized it.

Well, it masquerades as flu Until the fever spikes,

And they don't teach Recognition of tropical diseases

Unless you specialize, So maybe she should have,

But I'm willing to bet There's more than a few

Who would have made The same diagnosis.

Who else is at risk here?

Anyone who Traveled with her. I should let dominic know.

Hey, by the way, There was a native woman That was brought in here

Two weeks ago, If you're still looking.

And you didn't perform A post?

According to the tox screen, She died of a heroin o.D.

If no one claims her You're free to use her, But, you know,

You're probably going To need to get permits, Talk to the tribal council,

- all that rigmarole. - yeah, yeah.

I can deal with it. Thank you.

- what's her name? - regina king.

They called her "Queenie".

Regina king...

Didn't we just get An alert recently

On something from ticks,

Not lyme disease, But resembles malaria?

Yeah, babesiosis, But this isn't that.

This is the real deal here.

Had the family Been traveling anywhere?

I have no idea, But here I thought

- that malaria was Pretty much wiped out. - can't wipe it out.

It just mutates, Comes back stronger.

Yellow fever, tb, They're back.

Some bugs never die.

All right. Look, we're not talking About something

That's an immediate threat. This is not, like, Super-contagious.

- we're talking A curiosity here. - yeah, you're right.

It's not the beginning Of an epidemic.

All right. Well, I'll call The center for disease control.

They're going to want you To track down the source.

I'll talk to the parents.

Let me know what you find out.

'kay.

Malaria...

Here we go.

You're sure This is lisa?

Yeah, it's her.

She left the club With curtis last night.

I saw her Get into his car.

What time would That have been

When they left here?

I don't know.

They close up here... Around 2:00.

We hung out here For, like, an hour maybe.

Okay, so 3:00 a.M.

They say What their plans were?

Well, I thought

They were going to go back To curtis's,

But I guess they decided To cruise around.

Did curtis have anybody That might have come after him,

Enemies, drug deals, Like that?

He had a fight With some vietnamese guy

Last night.

He said the guy threatened To come back and blow him away.

Oh yeah? Anybody hear that?

Lots of people.

He threw him out

'cause the guy kept touching One of the dancers,

You know, grabbing at her.

So a lot of people saw that.

Yeah.

They called the police And they arrested him.

Threw him in the wagon And everything.

Well, that's good. They'll have a record Of the guy.

- anybody else? - no.

Curtis was a sweetheart.

Did lisa have A jealous boyfriend,

Or fan, or anybody like that, That might have come after Either one of them?

No.

Lisa didn't generally Like men.

Curtis was the first guy friend She'd had

In a couple years.

Well, you and her Lived together,

But that was platonic, right?

Well, we used to date A long time ago,

But we were just friends now.

You got any idea

How we could get in touch With her family at all?

Yeah.

We were just there At christmas.

She's got Three little sisters.

Picture's On her mirror.

- this is her? This is her table here? - yeah.

I'm going to take a look, If you don't mind.

No, go ahead.

Mrs. Jorgenson. It's dominic da vinci.

Hi. It's me.

You got kicked out Of the number 5 orange.

- yeah. - want to tell us About it?

- they don't like me, I guess. - they don't like you touching The dancers.

I didn't touch any dancers.

Remember the doorman Who tossed you out, The bouncer?

How do you like him?

He kicked me in the head, So I kicked him back.

You told a couple of people You'd like to kill this bouncer.

If I wanted to kill him, I would have done it.

That's interesting.

He was shot Earlier this morning.

Wait a minute. There's no way that was me.

A couple of your buddies Took me down to the cop shop Last night.

- how could I have done it? - yeah, we know.

We also know they processed you At the station

And turned you loose At 3:00 this morning.

- you had Plenty of time. - no. Uh-uh.

- plenty of time. - I went straight to My girlfriend's house

And I waited there To get my car out Of the impound.

This what you coming Out here for, a little bump?

- I don't know what that is. - it's in your car.

- hey, you just went in there Without a warrant. - yeah, I did.

I guess we're making A trip down to the lockup. You know where that is.

- it's your time You're wasting, man. - that's all right.

We've got all the time In the world.

So get this.

I go over there To check on mrs. Jorgenson

And she keels over.

Well, maybe you can Call st. Paul's

And see How she's doing.

No, they just... They called in.

She died on the Gurney in emergency.

- she died? - yeah.

She died?

Okay.

I'm sorry. Did you know her?

No.

I never met her until today.

I just feel... Nothing.

I don't know What's going on here.

I just feel Completely flat.

Is there anything I can do?

I don't know what It would be.

Malaise.

Malaise?

It's right beside "Malaria" In the medical dictionary.

Mm-hmm?

"Malaise--

A feeling of discomfort, Uneasiness, indisposition..."

Maybe that's What you've got.

So are you going To call over to st. Paul's

About mrs. Jorgenson?

No. I want You to call over there. You call over there,

And tell them I want to do The autopsy over here,

And see if anybody's got A problem with that.

Okay, and if they do?

They can kiss my blue --

So far, monsieur tran's alibi Is holding up.

His girlfriend's Backing up his story,

And the impound lot Has a record

Of him picking up his car At 8:00.

If that holds up, That clears him.

We've got an appointment With lisa's roommate.

Most of these strip clubs, Well, half of them, anyway,

Are run by the bikers,

So maybe they were just Sending tran a message

That he was on the wrong turf, Just like he said.

Do you want to call Organized crime,

See what's Going on there? Maybe curtis got caught

- on the fringes Of a war or something. - oh, look who's here.

- hi. - hey, how are You doing?

Good. Excuse me, I've just got to Make a call.

Hi.

I just dropped by To see how it was going.

Oh yeah?

We're just calling The organized crime unit

To see if maybe The bikers aren't connected.

Oh, well, I was going over it In my head,

And I was thinking Maybe he wasn't the target.

She was, you mean?

Yeah, we thought about that.

Some of those dancers Turn tricks on the side.

You know, Maybe it's related to that.

Maybe he was trying To turn her out.

You know this dancer?

No, no. I know a little About the scene, you know.

I patrol that circuit.

You get to know people.

Right. Well, that could be the angle.

Hey, have you got time For me to buy you a coffee?

Right now?

We've got to go

Take a statement From a witness.

- I'll take A raincheck, though. - raincheck... Yep.

And any leg work you want Doing, I'm ready and willing,

- and I'm just Downstairs, so... - really?

- thanks. - all right. Later.

Okay.

What the hell's Wrong with you?

Well, you've got A good-looking woman

Practically throwing herself At you there.

- I've got a woman. - yeah, well, it's just good To have a backup.

That's all I'm saying.

We've got to go talk To the stripper, leo.

Yeah, I called the o.C.U.

What'd they Have to say?

They'll Get back to me.

Calling those clowns The organized crime unit,

That's a joke.

I've got a sock drawer

Better organized Than those guys.

When was the last time You heard

About the o.C.U. Doing anything right?

- off the top of my head? - seems to me they spend

All their time trying To bust small-time Dope gardeners.

There's big business In the old weed There, leo.

Well, they've got Their sights set

On the wrong Big business.

What they should be Investigating

Is how come Every gas station

In the universe Raises the price of gas

At exactly the same minute-- You're going to tell me

- that's not price fixing? - that's a conspiracy.

- there's No mystery there-- - you know what

These big oil producers do? You know, they get in a room,

They arrange who's Going to get what territory,

And how much they're going To squeeze the consumer for--

- it's like a dope deal-- - it's exactly like a dope deal.

- the mother Also died of malaria. - I just spoke to the hospital.

Did you find out if they've Been traveling anywhere?

No. They never Left the country.

I spoke To the father myself.

So how else Do you contract malaria

If you don't get it From mosquito bites?

Well, the only other way Is blood transference.

Right, blood to blood--

Blood to blood,

Through A shared needle,

Transfusion, Or an open cut--

Well, I'm pretty sure

There was no Blood transfusion,

On her chart,

And I don't think She was sharing needles,

So did you find Any major cuts?

Any evidence Of anything like that?

No, but depending on when She contacted the disease,

The cuts May have healed,

And they Wouldn't need to be major,

You know, A minor scrape would be enough.

We weren't looking For healed minor abrasions,

So it's possible We missed one--

Okay. All right.

So, she had a cut,

Mummy or daddy had a cut, Or vice versa.

It wouldn't necessarily

Even have to be Mom or dad.

It could be someone At her daycare,

A babysitter,

Anyone who came In contact with her.

All right. Anyhow...

Was the father Tested for malaria?

Doesn't have it.

They had to Catch it from somebody.

- that's right, doctor. - dominic--

How are you doing?

I got mr. Steadman In my car outside.

I think You'd better come out.

He's pretty agitated,

Um, I think He had a few drinks.

He's sober now, but--

You know, He was asking for you.

Okay, So what happened?

Well, he was over At the house there

Where his daughter died In that fire.

Where is he?

He's right there.

He wanted in,

The people Who live there now

Wouldn't let him in,

So he kicked up A ruckus.

It's not the first time It's happened.

Are they going To press charges?

- no, not this time. - that's good.

- I figured you'd Want to talk to him. - yeah, okay.

You got it, man.

Mr. Steadman? Hello?

You all right?

I want My daughter's property.

What property is that, Mr. Steadman?

They still got Some of the stuff

- over there In the apartment. - I don't know if they do.

I think we got Everything out of there.

We did that together, Remember?

But there's still Some things

I can't find.

- yeah. - some books...

That she had That I gave her.

Well, Some of that stuff

Got pretty severely Damaged in the fire,

You know? We went through Everything together.

You don't Remember that?

And I was thinkin' too, About that broken window.

See, I wanted to take A measurement

From the bed To the window.

See how far that is.

I've got that Measurement already, okay?

We've already Been through this.

But how did She get to the window

If the apartment Was full of smoke?

I don't know. We just don't know.

We know That she did, though.

She did.

I guess I'm makin' A nuisance of myself,

But I guess I don't care.

I can't help myself.

That's all right. You want to take A walk with me

Around the block?

I'm all right.

I need the exercise, Come on.

I could use The company, too. Let's go.

Here we go, One, two, three...

Hey, let's go Down by the water. You want to?

It'll be nice there. Come on.

Then we'll go around, Right by, uh...

Where the bridge is.

I, uh, didn't touch Anything in her room

Like you said,

And I left All the phone messages On the service.

That's good. We appreciate that.

This is a really nice place You got here.

It's a nice building.

It's quiet, you know.

Everyone kind of Keeps to themselves.

Mind if I...

Oh, go ahead.

There's a couple of questions That we've got to ask you About lisa,

Because we're thinking That maybe she was the target Of this here homicide.

I've been Thinking about it,

Over and over and...

Did she ever talk to you About somebody stalking her?

We talked about That kind of stuff all the time.

People see you Naked and intimate on stage,

And all of a sudden,

They think you want Some kind of relationship.

Anybody In particular?

Well, let me think a sec.

Was she hooking That you know of?

No. Never.

- lisa wasn't into that at all. - we need to know if There was anybody

Who stands out In your mind at all

As a possible stalker.

Well, that's kind of hard To say,

Because what does A stalker look like?

What about in the last week? Anybody at all stand out?

There was this one guy That was just kind of into her.

He used to bring her Teddy bears all the time.

Oh yeah? Who's he?

He'd buy those cheap Carnival teddy bears

And toss them out on stage While she was dancing.

There was one time

Where she didn't Pick it up,

And another dancer did,

And he got All bent out of shape,

And I think He got thrown out.

Really? Who tossed him out?

I think it was curtis, As a matter of fact.

You could Recognize this guy

If you saw him again?

I think so.

I think some Of the bar staff Might know him.

He's a regular-- Or he was a regular.

I don't know If he will be now.

Sunny told me

You've had a couple Of malaria deaths.

Yeah, malaria.

I had a guy who died Of malaria last month.

What?

You had a malaria death Last month,

And I'm just Hearing about it now?

It wasn't A coroner's case.

Oh, it wasn't A coroner's case.

Well, how were you Involved?

Well, he was In the hospital, right,

And they already had A diagnosis of malaria

Prior to the guy dying,

So they wanted the autopsy To confirm the diagnosis.

And you ordered the post?

After you approved it.

If we'd done that autopsy, I'd remember it, winston.

We didn't do the autopsy.

The hospital did it.

So you went to the guy's house And you checked him out.

What do you have To tell me about that?

Why should I Go to the guy's house? It wasn't my case.

Okay, next time You've got something to tell me,

Something like that,

You just make damn sure I'm paying attention.

What's personal?

What I said, what she said, Our conversation,

It was personal, you know, Not to be--

It was between us.

Tell us about These teddy bears.

What about them?

There was an incident With the teddy bears and lisa.

Tell us about that.

Somebody tried to take it, Another dancer.

She tried to rip it off, And I tried to get it back,

And so, you know, There was a little incident.

Tell us about that.

I got-- I got into a fight With the dancer

Over the bear,

And then the bouncer, He threw me out.

You hit him with something, Right?

Something hard Like a beer mug,

Cracked him in the head, Gave him stitches?

I was defending myself.

I mean, he was trying To crush my throat,

I couldn't breathe, So, yeah, I hit him

With what I had in my hand, Which was a beer glass.

The officer that was there Can testify to that.

It was self-defense.

- an officer was called To the incident? - yeah.

I was going To charge him, The bouncer, with assault,

But she talked me out of it.

He just grabbed me by my throat And lifted me up.

I was, you know, passing out.

So you were going To put charges on him.

Yeah, and the bar,

For going after me like that Unprovoked.

A guy buys a teddy bear For somebody,

He doesn't expect to get choked And beaten.

And the officer Who was there,

You told her that You were going to press charges?

I had witnesses Willing to come forward

And everything,

But she got it all quashed.

And who was that? Who was the officer?

You know, I don't remember her name,

But that's her patrol Down there.

She's down there Almost every night.

Real good-looking.

- is josie hutchins her name? - that's it. Yeah, that's it.

She knew the bouncer?

Oh yeah, yeah. They were friends.

She said They were friends...

You know, Said it would ruin his career,

Him wanting to be a cop And everything.

Mom's an I.V. User.

Yeah? Where?

Here, Between the toes.

- she's a regular user? - I'd say so,

From the number of scars Behind her knees,

Up in the thigh area, Concealed areas.

Obviously trying To hide it.

Okay, so mom's A junkie.

So she's got malaria

By sharing a needle With an I.V. User

Who's also Infected with malaria. That's possible.

She's a user. You can see it.

Probable.

Now, the daughter Over here

Has also got malaria, But got heroin In her system.

So what's the story, The mother's shooting up The daughter?

I found a possible Injection site On the child.

Great.

Hi.

Hi. How are you doing?

Good. What's going on?

We just wanted To ask you something.

Hey, do you remember An incident

In which you were called down To the number 5,

And there was A fight going on,

And the guy, he wanted to sue The bouncer and bar?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I remember that.

He was pretty Steamed at curtis.

Yeah, he was pretty Pissed off.

He thought

That had curtis attacked him For no reason.

Did he?

Well, not according to curtis.

- what was going on? What was the fight about? - yeah, it was...

It was about This teddy bear

That this guy Had bought for lisa,

And lisa had, I guess, Left it on the stage

When she finished her act, And this other dancer, She picked it up.

She starts using it In her act,

And the guy got upset And he tried to take it From her.

Doesn't seem like anything To get that upset about.

You think this guy Might be good for it?

Yeah, it could be. I don't know.

Have you got Some old notebooks?

Maybe you could Go through them,

If you do,

And see if You can remember

What the guy was saying To curtis.

Yeah, I know he was saying All kinds of things, you know,

About how He was going to hurt him.

I remember that.

Oh, and the guy said also

That you presented yourself As a friend of curtis's.

Well, I'd seen him around, Sure,

But I was basically Just trying

To take the heat Out of the situation, so...

Okay, good. Could you drop Those notebooks off?

- we'd appreciate it. - okay, yeah.

Maybe we could Get that coffee When you bring it by,

If you want, If you're still Into it, or...

- all right. - yeah? Okay.

Yeah, all right.

Yes, honey.

I've got to take This other call right now,

So let me get off the phone, Okay?

Can't we just decide that When you get down here?

Okay?

All right.

Probably, probably.

Okay, I'll be done in time.

I'm pretty 100% sure At this point.

Okay?

I've got to go.

I got the police report On the other malaria victim,

The case winston Was working on.

He's a known pedophile And an intravenous user.

Sorry? What?

He was convicted in 1983

Of sexually molesting A 10-year-old girl.

There's evidence

That's linking him With cynthia jorgenson?

He was her uncle, Mrs. Jorgenson's brother.

All right, well, I guess

You'd better get hold of sunny Downstairs there

And get her to check cynthia

For signs Of sexual interference.

I know She was using before-- Before cynthia was born,

But that was years ago.

That was maybe 10 years.

We found evidence Of needle use.

Old scars.

She wasn't using.

We should look at this situation Realistically.

You know, I can't begin to fathom

What you-- What you think happened.

Here's my theory So far, okay?

Your wife was chipping, She was using now and then.

She comes into contact With somebody who is A malaria carrier,

And they share A needle, right,

And through some Exchange of blood,

She passes it on To your daughter.

That's how it happens,

And that's the scenario We're looking at.

Now, there's only one other Death in the province

Related to malaria.

That's a gentleman By the name of jim teague.

Jim teague...

That's my brother-in-law.

That's your wife's brother?

Well, yeah, step-brother,

But he died a month ago Of a heart condition.

Malaria,

- and he's An I.V. User-- was. - still...

They wouldn't have had contact. I wouldn't have allowed that.

How's that?

Because he-- he, uh...

He and my wife were...

Very young.

They had a rough upbringing,

And they were very young When they were....

Victims of...

Of abuse by relatives.

Okay.

He had some convictions For child molesting,

And I wouldn't have allowed My daughter anywhere near him.

You know,

You know how these people Have a tendency...

You know, the things That are done to them,

They have a tendency To repeat.

Well, that's the evidence

That, you know, That's in front of me here,

And I'm forced To consider

Some pretty Unpleasant...

Is there nobody,

A relative Or somebody

Who can come by Or you can go there?

Well, you know what?

I'm going to hang around A little bit, I think, myself.

I've got Kind of a clear afternoon.

Maybe I'll make us A pot of coffee.

Do you feel like A coffee?

Hey, dad.

Hey, honey.

- how are you? - I'm okay.

I'll be with you In one second.

Are you okay? You seem a little down.

No, I'm not down.

It's okay To be down.

Well, maybe you're just--

Okay, you're not-- You're not down.

You're just a little reflective Or something.

Reflective?

Yeah, that's me all over.

Reflective, yeah.

So it's going to be dinner, It's going to be a movie.

What about dinner And a movie?

Okay, sure.

'cause you haven't done that In a while.

What's that supposed To mean?

It doesn't mean anything.

It's just an observation.

An observation? Meaning what?

Maybe you're a little lonely, That's what.

Lonely?

Yeah.

I'm not lonely. Lonely...

How could I be lonely Around here?

Okay, well, Then, I don't know.

Maybe you're feeling A little alienated.

Yeah, maybe A little alienated.
