Original subtitles

Kim, you're not supposed to be there. No, you're not. I know you are.

Oh, Kim.

Good. Go for it.

But then Mr. Mouth said, I don't have anything to say to you. And he ran away,

too.

Mr. Nose had said, I won't play with you.

Ms. Ear had said, I won't play with you.

And now Mr.

Mouth wouldn't play with him.

Terrible. Awful.

Wouldn't anybody ever play with him?

But just then, Mr.

Eye turned a corner and came face to face, or rather, eye to eye, with

eye, just like...

Whether I said brightness.

My name is Ms. I.

What's yours?

Jim. Jim?

My name is Mr. I.

Tina, no bumping. Tina, no bumping.

Look at me.

Look at me, Tina.

Thank you for looking at me.

I like it when you do.

Oh,

you have such pretty eyes.

I'll rent Kiss Me Deadly and a double indemnity.

You'll come over, we'll have popcorn. What do you say?

Dan's leaving tonight, but maybe after.

Forget it.

Hi.

You think I want to sit there and look at you? That man is so hot.

Not bad.

I'd give my doctorate for a guy like that.

Tell him to me, please.

Alice.

Susan? Could I see you for a moment? Mm -hmm.

I got a call today about a little boy named Evan Parks.

No way!

Age five, severe aberrational behavior.

I'd like you to evaluate him.

Chris, I'm working with six children as it is. I'm in the middle of my

dissertation. I am swamped. So is everybody else. His parents sent over a

history. I said we'd see them tonight.

Dan's leaving at seven. Sorry. No problem.

I'll call them. We'll make it straight.

You wouldn't believe the progress I've made, Mom.

Yeah, I finally finished the bathroom, and I put up this little wall between...

the, um, sorry, between the office and the dining room.

Of course I'm coming.

Oh, you know, I wouldn't miss your anniversary party for the world.

Hang on, I'll ask him.

Dad wants to know if the Marine is coming.

You tell him. If the Marine can juggle his flight schedule, the Marine will be

there.

He says maybe.

Okay, I gotta go.

I love you.

All right, bye.

You've been married 50 years.

Dad's like a little kid again.

He has rented the Elks Hall for their parties.

Mr. Beans!

You get away from there, kitty.

You're not supposed to do that. No, no, you're not supposed to. You're a piggy.

Don't I feed you enough?

As soon as that fish can take care of himself.

He's a Thai fighting fish.

They eat cats for breakfast.

Is that what they told you when you bought it? Yeah.

It's one of the great things that fly in all over the world. You get great gifts

to bring home to your girlfriend.

Here you go.

Oh, yuck.

Sometimes the skies aren't so friendly.

How long this time?

Just an overnight hop.

I'll be back tomorrow.

I'll miss you.

I'll always miss you.

So marry me.

Whoa.

I'll let you move in here, Buster. What more do you want?

Love, Stephanie.

Evan had just turned four here.

There were quite a few children in the neighborhood and with all the nieces and

nephews. Our doctor then, Dr. Vance, said he thought it would be fine to have

party. Coming up to it.

Watch the bat.

Look at that.

It's a bat.

Look at that, Evan. Look at the bat.

Isn't that nice? Grab the bat, Evan.

Okay, we'll try another present.

the bat away from him before he could hurt any of the kids.

I don't think we need to see any more, Mr. Parks. Thank you.

Has there been any significant change in the way that he relates to you?

He doesn't relate to us.

He doesn't see us.

There's nothing.

I'd like to meet him.

Evan?

Evan, this is Miss Andrews.

My name is Susan, Evan.

It's time, Gumby.

Bag your face.

What about the other people in the store, man?

The other people in the store?

We owned them.

Gross, huh?

Put it in the bag.

You take four eyes on this old lady in the back.

Come on, move!

That's all the money there is.

I swear.

Let's go.

Please, don't kill me.

Please.

Please. Would you get real?

Please. I'm just going to lock you up in the cold room to find some time. Don't

do this.

That's all.

Man. No.

No.

Hey, no, man. No.

No. No.

Give me a professional opinion, doctor.

Doctor? You're a bit premature, aren't you? You know, Chris, at the rate you're

working me, I'm never going to finish my dissertation.

So, give me your layman's opinion.

Possibly autistic.

Could be emotionally disturbed, but in any event, I'm going to have to run a

diagnostic evaluation.

Your game, then.

Do I have a choice?

None.

Evan Parks, first thing in the morning.

Night, Chris.

Can't believe what you did, man.

You just wasted those people.

You just smoked them, man.

Stop your whining, man.

You're acting like something outrageous happened.

Chunky, man. Freak me out.

Your needles.

you could recognize this guy if you saw him again, Miss Andrews? Yes. I got a

very clear look at him. Okay.

I can't believe the guy just ran away. I mean, what if I'd been hurt?

There are people in this city, miss, who don't care much about your well -being.

Evidently.

You didn't choke, Headbanger.

Extra grease.

Yeah, I was darned.

Like I could eat this stuff while I was still living.

It is.

Ice your face, clown. You look like a splatterflake. I told him. Got all these

Marines up here walking around on lead. Don't be messing with him. What's he do?

Geek.

We gonna get together later?

Maybe go to Venice, bust some heads.

Whatever you want.

You are flying.

I love this.

770 -772.

Same tags hit the market over on Western. It was stolen today down in

City.

What's the final count over there?

Three down with a shotgun.

Same freak in the ski mask?

Yep.

Got his total up to seven.

Suits him for the hell of it.

Picked up the casings.

No prints, no nothing.

Until now.

You find anything?

Found a set of works up under the front seat.

Somebody's gonna miss it.

Find anything else?

What you'd expect.

Sunflower seeds and spit all over the place.

Blood on the steering wheel.

Probably from the wreck.

There's a witness.

Someone saw the wreck?

The driver of the other car.

A lady named Susan Andrews.

She saw the guy who drove this piece?

She saw him.

I mean, you wouldn't be kidding me or anything like that, would you?

She saw him well enough to give me a damn solid description.

Yeah.

Okay, bring him in. We're running through the books. We got this guy.

Lieutenant.

It's just... It's just too bad she's going to have to go through all this.

She's a real nice lady.

Well, there's not a damn thing I can do about that.

Right now, she's a real nice witness.

I ran late. You finished with the preliminaries? What happened?

Oh, it's nothing. I'm fine.

Chris said you were with the police all night?

Some guy ran into my car and then ran away, and the police wanted me to look

pictures.

Logbooks?

Yeah, the police call him a suspect.

Hey,

what happened to you last night? Some guy rams their car and takes off.

No. Somebody wrecked your car?

It's in the repair shop. I have a loaner.

Could you figure the guy?

Yeah, I finger the guy at like 4 a .m. after looking at 3 ,000 pictures.

Men?

Oh, boy. You two don't mind.

Hi, Evan.

Having fun in here?

I was watching it from the other room.

I thought we could do something together.

We could see what sort of colors you like.

Do you like that?

Or else we could just start off by making friends.

Well, that's a start.

Suze, excuse me, you've got a call.

Call them back.

It's the police.

They say it's pretty important.

Miss

Andrews!

Hi. How you doing?

Uh, fine.

It's a lot busier here during the day.

Uh, Sergeant... Belton. Belton. Belton. Sorry.

Well, uh, did you find the guy? Utila. Follow me.

Have a seat.

Thanks. You guys work fast.

Well, city's finest.

What we're going to do is we're going to parade four or five of these guys right

there on the stage.

Now, they can't see you, but I want you to watch them very carefully and see if

you spot the guy that climbed out of that car last night. Okay?

Fine.

Are you scared?

Of course not.

All right, then why don't we get started?

Bring them in.

Second guy from the right.

Number four, step forward.

It's him.

I'm sure of it.

If we could wrap this up, I really need to get back to the center.

Call me Lou.

You're some kind of a doctor, aren't you?

Yeah, well, I'm working on my doctor dissertation.

I'm at the center working with children who have developmental disorders.

Oh, that sounds real nice.

It can be. When I'm there, instead of somewhere else. Can I offer you some

coffee or water? I think we've got some soft drinks around here.

Thank you. I've really got to get back.

Miss Andrews.

This man you identified.

Edward Reeves.

He's under arrest for the murder of seven people.

Murder?

May I get you a little water now?

You can link Edward Reeves to the station wagon that hit you last night.

18 minutes before two men killed three people, got into that same station wagon

and drove away.

You sure you don't want that water now?

There have been four of us.

Sometimes he acts alone, sometimes he brings a friend.

You're certain you can't identify that second man?

I'm playing this trick with you, Susan.

But I've got to know that I can depend on you.

What do you mean, depend on me?

To get this animal off the street.

If you back out now, we've got nothing to hold him on. People don't get

involved. Society breaks down. There is no society with a guy like Reeves.

You don't have to guilt me into anything.

Does he know who I am?

He does it and he won't.

There will be an arraignment set in a day or so, but our seats with that bail

are denied.

You and he won't come face to face until the trial.

Then he's inside.

Forever.

Well, Suze, I think you got every right to be concerned.

I mean, this is serious business.

I'm not really concerned concerned.

All right.

You got this guy for murder, right?

What if he gets out on a technicality? Where do you stand then?

In front of my word processor, unable to work.

Does neurasthenia have one E or two?

Suze, something like this comes into your life, it can change things.

Tyrell won't tell you that because he doesn't want to scare you off.

Not bad, huh?

Deal with tarragon, butter, and sautéed grapes.

Couldn't we just have a hamburger sometime? Could we just talk about this

second, please?

I'm worried about you.

It bothered me a little bit today, but I... Not so much anymore.

I'm doing the right thing.

If more people step forward like this... Here we go again.

It's true.

I know it's true. And I'm very proud of you. I really am. Thank you.

I just don't want you to think that this policeman has everything tied up with a

nice, neat ribbon. I don't. When I was back in the Corps, for instance... Oh,

another fighter jock story.

When I was flying F -4s for Uncle Sammy back in the NAMM... The first thing you

learn out there is that it's just you.

You can't even look to your wing when he's too busy covering his own behind.

We don't live in a jungle, Dan.

I don't believe we're at war.

That kind of talk scares me.

Frankly, I resent it.

This is you, big guy.

Evan?

Evan?

Good job.

It's me.

Very good picture, Josh. Thanks.

Susan.

Susan.

What do

you think?

Will he fit in with our program?

He's a doll.

I'm sure.

But will he fit in with what we do here?

Is he capable of bonding with you?

The bonding process just began.

Suze?

Suze, we've got a visitor.

You would agree, I hope, to think that in our free society, Mr. Reeves deserves

a fair and adequate defense.

Well, yes, Mr. Toner. I... How did you know to find me here?

At the arraignment, I made a motion for discovery, attendant to the prosecutor's

case. And they just gave you my name and address?

Well, how else can I prepare my client's defense?

Now, now we can start it.

He has an entire file on me, Lou.

He knows my name and my address, my phone number.

It doesn't do Reeves any good.

Remember I said his bail would be denied?

Yes. Well, that's exactly what happened.

Reeves is inside.

He's going to stay there until the trial.

And like I said, he's going for good.

Are you sure?

Susan, you do your part, I do my part, then it'll work.

We'll make it work.

Now, I want you to rest easy, and I want you to remember I'm here if you need

me. Okay.

Thanks. Night.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Who is this?

What's happening with your murder case? Oh, it's not my murder case. You were

the chief witness, right?

Alice.

Right, all right.

Gee, Mr.

Wonderful's out of town and it's hormonal changes. Oh, you're incredible,

You're great with kids and you're lousy with adults.

All right.

Been out of town a couple of days.

It's a good thing he's in the bus the way you two live on the phone.

I tried to call eight times last night. Welcome.

Eight times. Busy.

I'll have the phone off.

I had some trouble with people calling up.

Yeah.

I'll go out there.

Hi, Susan.

I'm going to call the police.

What's the matter?

Some guy by Susan's car.

I'll take care of it.

Cora, I can call the police. No, that's all right. They don't belong on center

property. I'll take care of him.

I'm all right.

I'm all right. What happened?

Some guy jumped him in the parking lot.

I'll get the police.

Thanks,

I'm okay.

I'm all right, I'm all right.

He said I wouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing.

He said there was no way this maniac could find out who I was before the

hearing.

Reeves is still in jail. No, his friends are.

How'd they find out about me?

There was a break -in at Tony's office. Your files were rifled.

Oh, that's great. That's just fabulous.

They know who I am. They know where I am.

They even know my bra size.

I'm sorry.

I've been having some phone calls.

I've had to take the phone off, though.

Look, is there any place you can go, any place you can stay?

Move?

Well, uh... No.

I mean, I can't just up and leave.

I have a life to maintain.

Well, that's not helping me get my job done, is it?

Am I supposed to stick my head in the sand?

No.

I'll have a black -and -white cruise in your apartment every hour or so.

There's two numbers here.

One is an emergency response number. We'll get you two blue suits if you need

them right away.

The other number is to me at my home or at my office. You can get me.

Is there a trial date yet?

Any date.

I'm all right.

Lieutenant Tyrell says he can take care of it.

What he says he can do and what he does are two different things.

Okay, sweetheart, you got to ditch the digs and go stay with Alice or some

safe place.

See?

What could be safer than here?

Susan, come on. You come on.

You're beginning to sound like my mother.

I've good locks on the doors. I have police coming up and down the block all

night long.

This is my home.

Then back away from this thing. Tell the cops you won't testify.

I can't do that.

Why not?

Because I'm in it now.

Besides, what I'm doing is right.

It's my responsibility.

Okay, okay, then go to a place called Harris Guns and see Pete Sims.

Just a little .25, a purse gun, you won't even know yet.

This isn't helping me. It really isn't.

Suze, I love you.

I'm just worried, that's all.

Suze?

I love you, too.

Sure sign that a daughter loved her parents an expensive anniversary gift.

You don't understand.

My grandmother gave up all exactly like this to my mother for a wedding gift.

Only when I was six there was this accident. Oh, no.

You broke it. And now, all these years later, after a six -month search, you're

replacing it. How utterly sacking.

You're perfect at me, isn't it?

I can't get to court that day. No, my parents' 50th wedding anniversary.

50!

The whole family... I understand.

I understand that...

Can't you reschedule?

Can't you at least try?

I know the courts are crowded. My whole life is crowded.

Oh, Zeus.

All rise.

Department 114 of the Superior Court of the State of California is now in

session. The Honorable Robert Anson presiding.

Be seated. Come to order.

The first case to be assigned, the people versus Edward James Reed.

Your Honor.

Now, how can you continue this without the blood test? It's ridiculous because

I have to see it, Your Honor. I don't understand. How can I go to trial if I

don't have the evidence that the district attorney is supposed to supply?

I don't believe this.

Next case, state of California versus Market and Fremantle.

You're continued.

What? Tona has to judge for continuance in the gratitude.

Now listen, Susan, you're going to have to go through this whole thing all over

again. The DA did what he could to stop this, but it happens. Now you receive a

subpoena and they'll file you over your next court date. Now what?

Dan? Would you bring me a glass of water, please?

Dan.

This is a joke. I'm going to clip your wings.

Get in.

No!

Oh, I couldn't believe the dreams I just had.

Just try me.

It really broke my heart.

It lays on me as soon as I saw it.

With what you pay, I would say that's an appropriate choice of words.

Gonna need some more wood screws, girls.

Girls?

And a clobber, would you mind? Sure, thanks.

So there you go.

A pro couldn't do a better job, could he? Eh, not bad.

Like it to you, you're good in bed.

Yeah!

Well, it's a 12 -gauge skeet gun. I used to do some of that.

Why is it here?

Well, I was going through some stuff I keep in storage, you know, and I thought

I'd clean this thing up.

I figured it might come in handy.

Well, how does it work?

Oh, well, it's simple, really.

Speed the shells in here to load it.

Pump the action.

It's a lot like the shotguns the police use, you know? Pump action like this.

I asked a buddy of mine once why the cops never went to automatic weapons. He

said, you lose the sound.

You're on the wrong end of that sound, it's like death tapping you on the

shoulder.

Susan, maybe you should have something like this.

I want that thing out of here.

Now, can you build these shelves or not?

Is there any reason in this place?

Rogers and Juby said we just picked up here about eight, nine times as a kid.

If he's got any friends, they're bound to be around here.

I want to undercover cop in there. Pick up a few names.

You ever think, we got a bunch of monsters out there, dudes who go through

doing the most outrageous things, and we don't have a clue.

You think about something.

Here, this woman's spending her whole time trying to get little kids to talk.

Now somebody's trying to shut her up. Think about that.

I'm going to ring a few bells. You stay right here.

You get burned doing something like that.

I got a witness whose life is going to hell. Who's looking after her?

You better stay here. Get it.

If someone saw this picture in a magazine,

I bet they'd say, look at that girl.

Her name is Susan.

Look at that little boy.

I bet his name is Evan.

You look like an Evan, don't you?

Well, I know how you feel.

Sometimes I feel like sticking my hands in the sand, too.

Sometimes I feel like putting my whole head in the sand.

You want to come inside for a little group work with the other kids?

Oh. Uh, no, I think we're doing okay here.

Might want to bring some of the other kids outside.

Oh, oh, oh!

What? Oh, oh, oh! Oh, no!

Congratulations.

Doctor. Oh.

Hurry!

Yeah?

Alice said I had a phone call.

Um, yeah, it's Mr. Tyrell, line two.

Lieutenant, even you aren't going to ruin today for me.

I went over to Eddie Mack's part of town and I put out a strong warning.

He says a friend should leave you alone now.

The word should inspire such confidence.

The wheels of justice may be slow, but they turn.

You got a court date, Susan.

Oh, great.

All right.

Yeah.

Bye.

Mr.

Beans! Get down from there, you bad boy! Bad boy!

Sorry, Mom. Sorry.

Yes, my new number. It's 555... No, 5... Okay, 8581.

Oh, I just had to change it, that's all.

I only have about a million people to call.

Yes! We set a new trial date today.

Oh, it'll all be over soon. Thank God.

and I will set the date when we are both ready.

Yes, Mother, I know.

A bird in the hand is worth a whole flock in the bush.

Are you okay? Yeah, I'm all right. Good.

This is all over. Lunch is on me. Lunch? I'll expect dinner. Something

expensive.

I need to see you.

Um, I'll see you inside.

I just spoke to the lab. They said the blood tests were on their way. They said

that two weeks ago. I'm still waiting.

I'm on in five minutes, and I've got nothing. You've got an eyewitness.

I've got to show that the blood in that car came from Edward Reed.

That's called physical evidence.

I've got no physical evidence. I've got nothing.

Oh, man.

You testified that after the collision, you got a clear look at the driver of

the vehicle that hit you. Is that correct?

Yes, sir.

Were you hurt at all? I saw pictures of cars.

It must have been a pretty nasty hit.

No.

You were just shaken up a little, I guess?

Yes, sir.

Just shaken up.

The police report said the suspect vehicle was over 200 feet from you when

crashed into the other cars.

The man that you saw, the man that was running away, how long was his face

turned toward you?

Just, um, a couple of moments.

It would sure help me, ma 'am, if you could be a little more specific.

Well, uh, maybe just one second. You don't stop to look, Mr.

Toner. You just see.

Yes, that's right. See.

You were admittedly shaken after the accident.

At night, 200 feet from a man running away.

That's almost 70 yards.

That's nearly two -thirds the length of a football field.

Of course, there's been some nights that I wish Jim Plunkett had eyes like that.

Mr. Turner.

Oh, my apologies, Ms. Andrews. I didn't mean anything by that.

Oh, just one last question, Ms. Andrews, and then you can get down.

The traffic officer who came to the scene that night...

Did he give you a field sobriety check?

Objection. Sustained. No, of course not. No more questions, Your Honor.

Why would he?

Mr. District Attorney.

Your Honor, we request a five -minute recess to evaluate new evidence.

Thank you, Miss Andrews. You may step down.

Five -minute recess.

You want a case?

Find me the other guy in the car.

Why don't you just play the hand you dealt with and convict this guy?

Andrew says that Reeves was driving. We have blood tests here that don't match

Reeves. And I should have had that information two weeks ago. All right,

screwed up. It was an accident. I want you to kick tail down at that lab.

You got an eyewitness that put Reeves in the car. Use her. It's somebody else's

blood. It's a junkie's blood.

The defense will say someone else was driving the car.

You know what, Reeves?

Give me something I can work with.

Right now, it's over.

As much as it may pain the court to do so, I must now act upon a motion from

prosecutor and call this case and all charges against Edward Reeves dismissed.

Spend on his release from custody.

That guy was supposed to go to jail, and this whole thing would be over.

If we'd have prepped there with a trial, we would have lost. And if we found

more evidence, we wouldn't have been able to retry.

I know about double jeopardy.

What's supposed to happen to me now?

You know what's been happening.

This maniac is now set free, and he knows my face. He has my address.

Believe me, by tomorrow morning, this cretin won't even be in town.

Yeah, but he said something to me.

He said, you and me now, babe. I'm going to talk to him. You stay the hell away

from him. Don't tell me to stay away from him. I'm going to talk to him.

am not going to have any future action prejudice by you. What do you mean

prejudice by me?

Great.

Look,

it isn't always like this.

You're seeing the part of the system that's slow and painful.

But it does work.

Hang in there.

Please.

I'm going to send some black and white throughout to the apartment.

I'll even come by myself.

I know this is scary for you now, but I want you to take it easy, all right?

Please. Come on.

until I get you back in here another day.

You go around that woman again and you're mine.

Dan. Sure, darling.

I could be Dan.

How'd you get this number?

This is a new number.

Oh, it's in your apartment.

That's how.

I just went right in there, copied it off the phone.

I'll be coming in there again.

Lieutenant Tyrell, please. Hurry!

These best for meat.

The regular or the serrated.

There's a man back there, Eddie Reeves. He has a knife in him. He's very

dangerous. I want you to call him. Please, where's your phone?

That's great.

It's great.

Thank you.

Well, I got time for most of the shower before I leave for the airport.

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

I'm worried, you know.

I feel really rotten going off and leaving you here all alone.

Well, uh, I have Mr. Beans, and I have a fish,

a Thai fighting fish.

I'm okay.

Okay.

I wish you'd keep my gun.

This is really wearing thin. Suze, why not?

Because I'm afraid of guns, okay?

Besides, if I had your gun, you'd be defenseless against the Ayatollah.

Look out, Tyrell.

Come in. I hope this isn't too late. No, it's all right.

Dan Edwards, Lieutenant Tyrell, Lou, Dan.

Yeah, do you want some coffee? I'd love a cup. Thank you very much.

Hey, Joseph.

Maria's, huh?

Yeah. Well, I've got one myself, but I don't dare show it in the flight

I came by myself personally to tell you that I talked to the people in the store

and nobody ID'd Eddie Reeves.

Of course.

How do you take it?

Oh, black.

Thank you.

Lieutenant, is Susan safe?

As safe as anybody.

I didn't see these locks.

These are very good locks.

Yeah, Greg. I have a few patrol cars making their way.

The thing to do now is to relax.

Don't panic.

And most of all, use common sense.

In other words, she should look after herself.

Dan wants me to get a gun.

Let me tell you what we've got going here.

We've got the cops. We've got the courts. None of it's perfect.

None of it's perfect.

But people start losing faith. And when they start losing faith, they go out and

get guns and laying booby traps, and they end up hurting innocent people. You

understand what I'm talking about?

Well, faith's got to be earned, doesn't it?

Damn. Well, it does.

Your faith gets broken in the cops, in the police.

And you've got to find another source of faith, don't you?

Oh, what does that sign say?

Forget the dog and beware the owner.

The premises is protected by Smith and Wesson.

Prepare for an armed response, is that it? No, I'm not talking easy answers,

just personal responsibility.

Listen, mister, I don't know anyone like Charles Bronson from Death Wish.

The guy that goes out and gets a gun to protect himself ends up shooting himself

in the foot or getting some poor innocent cop killed like me.

Our gun is an accident waiting to happen.

Leave the guns in the hands of the police.

I intend to.

I'm sorry I intruded in the evening.

It's all right.

I'm going to get a hold of this Reeves so I can put a scare in him.

Yeah, we'll look forward to your getting Reeves off the streets.

Count on it.

And just a phone call, will you, Hammy?

Thank you.

You better get in the shower, Emily.

Damn it.

Good

guy.

We'll see what the other kids are doing, okay?

Yes.

He's almost certain to react to it. I don't let my personal life affect the

children. I've never allowed that.

I just wanted to mention it, that's all.

You've worked wonders with Evan so far.

Thank you.

Maybe today was just an off day.

So, uh, you want to come over? Call me.

There's a man standing in the Bangkok International Airport who desperately

wants to lick your neck.

This man will be home in two days.

Watch out for him. He's dangerous.

Yeah, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Come on, kitty.

Mr. Beans?

He wants you to tell me how this could happen.

Come on. You've got to come.

I cooperated with you.

I did the right thing.

Do you believe that?

God, oh, God.

God, he's here in my apartment.

Everything, his sheets, my silverware.

You really can't do anything, can you?

until I get him in jail.

Excuse me, Lieutenant, if I don't wait for you.

You're kidding.

Danny! It's been a while.

Susan Andrews, Pete Sims.

Pete, I'm trying to fix Susan up with something she can depend on.

I think we can help out.

Now, if you're looking for something in the way of home defense, you owe it to

yourself to consider one of these.

Pete, we were thinking in terms of a handgun.

I know. Just a little gun shop humor.

Come on over here.

How about a .380, a four -inch barrel, nine -shot clip?

What about that one?

It's a waste of time.

25 caliber purse gun.

Oh, it's all right if you want to get up next to some guy and lay four right in

his gut, but that's not all.

Pete, will you give her a break with that?

I was thinking nine millimeter, you know, something compact.

What's that?

It's a diamond or the bullet. Come over here.

This one takes nine millimeter carabellum bullet. That's a high

with plenty of knockdown power.

Oh, knockdown means that this bullet produces enough striking force to take a

big man off his feet.

Oh, it's too heavy.

Well, it's going to need really nine millimeter automatic.

Steel frame, 14 rounds, good clip for a little extra firepower.

Look, if you guys want to go revolver, I've got a beauty from Brazil.

Dan, I thought we'd just come here, get a gun. I didn't think we'd have to go

through all this.

Pete, let her see that one.

Danny, it's a .32.

It's no stopping power. See it, all right?

What do you think?

Uh... What about the stopping power?

There are ways I can help that.

Suze, if you're comfortable with this gun, then let's get it.

Really should.

I guess I should.

Good, that's it. Take a deep breath.

Sit out.

Still yourself.

Fire.

Hardly kicked at all.

That's because of the bullet?

No, one more time.

Imagine there's a bad guy coming after you.

Hey, there he is. He's coming. Come on.

Let him have it.

Feels good.

What did you mean when you said you could help, son?

Well, when you learn how to use it, then.

I'll get you a box of hollow point. Yeah.

Hollow point has a little hole in the tip.

That way the bullet hits something in mushrooms.

All right.

Yeah? Well, you should see what I'm looking at.

If mushrooms, you get more striking power.

Terrific. Isn't that illegal?

No, you can buy them.

When I was a kid, we used to make our own by knocking them with our knives.

Lovely. But don't you think about that.

You just concentrate on learning to use that gun safely.

The gun you can trust.

I'm going to miss you.

Well, then marry me.

You said we were going to set the date. I know.

I know. I just need my life to settle.

Come on.

Come on.

Well, at least you got this thing. I'll rip better.

It matters, doesn't it?

Yep. One thing about a gun.

It matters.

Still coming.

Empty the clip.

I bought a gun.

You really bought a gun? Your own gun?

I thought you were all for it.

Well, I am. I just... Can

I see it?

Not in front of the kids.

You brought it here?

He's out there.

Like some sort of animal.

Maybe someone could just talk to him.

Scare him.

You know, you can't carry that without a license. It's illegal.

I can't just sit.

Hi, Alice?

It's me.

I'm not going to make it to the center tomorrow, okay?

Oh, I'm just not feeling very well.

Would you tell Chris?

Okay.

Thanks.

Bye.

Thank you.

Bye.

What did you do?

Stake out your house until I showed up?

Then you followed me?

I want you to leave me alone.

You've been sniffing glue?

I want you to know you cannot do these things to me anymore.

And if you try, I have got this.

It is a .32 automatic.

I have got nine bullets in here, and I will put every last one of them into

One tough bin bed, huh?

That's a rush.

I want you to leave.

We'll see.

Susan?

Could I talk to you, please?

I'm, uh, fine.

Really.

Uh, police say it's going to be over any day now.

I know.

I trust in that.

I know you have a gun now, Susan.

That's all the others want to talk about.

I won't ask you if it's in there.

I'm assuming you have better sense than to bring it to the center.

Well, I'm more than willing to make certain changes, Chris.

You said it yourself.

The strain I've been under is enormous.

Yes, I'm glad.

I'm relieved that you're willing to consider changes.

Susan, I think you should take a leave of absence.

Chris, no.

I can't stop working.

I can't just leave the kids.

What about Evan?

I'm letting Alice take Evan.

I'm working with Evan.

We're making progress.

Evan is regressing.

He can't help but react to what you're going through. Any child would. Please.

Evan, perhaps more so. Don't take Evan from me.

Susan. This is exactly what this maniac wants.

Do you see that?

He's taking everything from me, and you're playing right into his hands.

Do you get it?

He's filling my life. He's taking everything.

And now... I know what this man has been putting you through.

All right.

Take the time off. Go away for a while.

Finish the dissertation.

Susan, I can't take the chance that Reeves might bring his vendetta here.

To the center.

to the children.

Give me names.

Give me anyone that Eddie hung with.

Start with the junkies.

If you could leave a message for him at the flight operations desk.

Ask him to call Susan.

I called the hotel where he's supposed to be laid over, but he wasn't

registered.

Yes.

Well, I appreciate you doing whatever you can.

Hi, Mom.

It's me.

I thought I'd come home and visit for a little while.

I want to finish the dissertation.

Yeah.

Things have slowed down a little bit at work.

Especially as I missed your anniversary.

I thought I'd come home and visit.

Where you been?

Hanson told me you're going to be on the race run this week. I called in a

couple of favors so I get back into town.

Ride in with me. I want to talk to you about buying that rattletrap Corvette of

yours.

Guess who?

Me alone.

So I say, come on over for a while.

Leave me.

Go away!

Junkie! Been looking for you!

Betty boy!

You're going down for murder!

Where's Edward Reed?

Come on, Junkie!

You don't want to know it, then, little skinny junkie boy!

Where's Edward?

Where?

You told me he may be over here, boy! It's all bad on you!

The girl.

What?

It's going to happen.

Give me the gun.

I want the gun anymore.

Just give me the gun.

You're not there, baby.

We've got a solid case.

We're going to recharge them with the murders and that's the end.

No. No.

William.

We still want you to testify.

William.
