3
00:00:19,053 --> 00:00:20,803
Here you go, kid.
4
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:21,804
Thanks.
5
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,180
You know, I hear
6
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:24,849
a lot of stories
come out of that backseat,
7
00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:26,962
but yours is a doozy.
8
00:00:26,986 --> 00:00:28,936
I haven't told anybody.
9
00:00:29,013 --> 00:00:30,604
I can't believe I told you.
10
00:00:30,681 --> 00:00:31,592
Don't worry, honey.
11
00:00:31,616 --> 00:00:32,968
You're doing the right thing.
12
00:00:32,992 --> 00:00:36,035
And mail that letter...
13
00:00:36,112 --> 00:00:38,412
'Cause life is short.
14
00:00:38,489 --> 00:00:39,934
[Chuckles] I know.
15
00:00:39,958 --> 00:00:42,833
But, um, I'm so late.
16
00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:44,743
Could you...?
17
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:46,128
Yeah.
18
00:00:46,205 --> 00:00:48,609
No problem.
All part of the service.
19
00:00:48,633 --> 00:00:50,583
Taxi. Hey!
20
00:00:50,659 --> 00:00:52,710
Uh, we're going to the Oxford.
21
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:54,762
Well, get in.
22
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,892
[♪♪]
23
00:01:03,839 --> 00:01:06,566
[Woman]: Okay, you're not
going to believe this.
24
00:01:06,642 --> 00:01:08,684
He missed the train.
25
00:01:08,761 --> 00:01:10,839
I know.
26
00:01:10,863 --> 00:01:12,855
No, he'll be okay.
27
00:01:12,931 --> 00:01:16,483
He's going to catch the 2:00,
so I'm just letting you know.
28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,035
I'm fine.
29
00:01:18,112 --> 00:01:18,986
But you'll have to
keep everybody there
30
00:01:19,063 --> 00:01:19,848
until we get back.
31
00:01:19,872 --> 00:01:21,488
Sorry.
32
00:01:21,565 --> 00:01:23,060
Could I mail this letter?
33
00:01:23,084 --> 00:01:24,979
Yeah, whatever.
34
00:01:25,003 --> 00:01:26,118
I don't know.
35
00:01:26,195 --> 00:01:28,162
You can feed them whenever.
36
00:01:28,238 --> 00:01:31,151
Perfect. And there's
some salsa in the fridge.
37
00:01:31,175 --> 00:01:33,050
Do you know...
38
00:01:33,127 --> 00:01:37,713
[♪♪]
39
00:01:37,790 --> 00:01:38,993
Yeah. Okay.
40
00:01:39,017 --> 00:01:41,183
That's great...
41
00:01:48,735 --> 00:01:52,227
[Oliver]: Sometimes, I wonder
who mailed the first letter.
42
00:01:52,304 --> 00:01:55,939
Who was that brave soul
who put a stamp on an envelope,
43
00:01:56,016 --> 00:01:57,858
and released it into the world,
44
00:01:57,935 --> 00:01:59,160
trusting a stranger
45
00:01:59,236 --> 00:02:03,364
to deliver it across the miles
and across time.
46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,791
In this new world
of instant replies
47
00:02:05,868 --> 00:02:06,792
and casual deleting,
48
00:02:06,869 --> 00:02:08,369
what I love about my work is,
49
00:02:08,445 --> 00:02:10,566
I can hold a letter,
a real letter, in my hand,
50
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:13,207
and be that stranger
whose sole mission...
51
00:02:13,283 --> 00:02:14,175
Next!
52
00:02:14,251 --> 00:02:16,052
Yes. Uh...
53
00:02:16,128 --> 00:02:19,088
I'd like a cup of coffee.
54
00:02:19,164 --> 00:02:20,306
"Aspen," Vail," or "Steamboat"?
55
00:02:20,383 --> 00:02:21,994
I'm sorry, I'm not following?
56
00:02:22,018 --> 00:02:24,204
Small, medium, or large?
57
00:02:24,228 --> 00:02:25,770
Oh, large. Large coffee.
58
00:02:25,846 --> 00:02:28,097
Right. Uh...
Which coffee?
59
00:02:28,173 --> 00:02:30,140
Uh, what do you recommend?
60
00:02:30,217 --> 00:02:33,088
Everything's on the board.
61
00:02:33,112 --> 00:02:35,104
This is my first visit.
62
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:36,697
Frankly, I wouldn't
be here at all
63
00:02:36,774 --> 00:02:39,692
if my coffee machine hadn't been
illegally appropriated
64
00:02:39,768 --> 00:02:42,236
after an unfortunate
war of words with my superior.
65
00:02:42,312 --> 00:02:43,696
Well, I wouldn't call her
my superior exac...
66
00:02:43,772 --> 00:02:44,683
Excuse me?
67
00:02:44,707 --> 00:02:45,823
Could I just give him my order
68
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:46,991
while you're reminiscing?
69
00:02:47,067 --> 00:02:48,200
I'll even pay for your coffee,
70
00:02:48,277 --> 00:02:49,576
if you just let me
go ahead of you.
71
00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:51,203
Be my guest.
72
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,610
Sorry. It's just I'm late,
it's my first day at my new job.
73
00:02:54,634 --> 00:02:56,083
Well, at least you're employed.
74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,626
Aspen "skinny" vanilla latte.
75
00:02:57,703 --> 00:02:59,220
Instead of just
sitting over there
76
00:02:59,296 --> 00:03:00,596
staring off into cyberspace.
77
00:03:00,673 --> 00:03:01,909
He'll have
a Steamboat Americano.
78
00:03:01,933 --> 00:03:04,662
What is that?
79
00:03:04,686 --> 00:03:06,560
Large black coffee.
80
00:03:06,637 --> 00:03:08,679
Ah!
81
00:03:08,756 --> 00:03:11,098
Most of those people
actually are employed.
82
00:03:11,175 --> 00:03:13,017
They're just working from home.
83
00:03:13,093 --> 00:03:15,227
Theoretically.
84
00:03:15,304 --> 00:03:17,655
And someone pays them?
Theoretically?
85
00:03:19,224 --> 00:03:20,649
Aspen skinny vanilla latte...
86
00:03:20,726 --> 00:03:23,027
And a Steamboat Americano.
87
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:26,122
Gotta go.
Keep the change.
88
00:03:28,784 --> 00:03:30,001
Thanks.
89
00:03:32,863 --> 00:03:34,288
There it is...
90
00:03:34,364 --> 00:03:36,068
A beacon of hope to those
who still put their faith
91
00:03:36,092 --> 00:03:38,042
in the power of a piece of paper
92
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:40,177
and a 46-cent stamp.
93
00:03:40,254 --> 00:03:41,503
And behind every letter
94
00:03:41,580 --> 00:03:43,505
stand thousands
of dedicated heroes,
95
00:03:43,582 --> 00:03:46,050
who still fight the good fight
through rain and snow
96
00:03:46,126 --> 00:03:48,018
and fiscal cliffs
97
00:03:48,095 --> 00:03:50,054
to deliver every note,
every card, every letter.
98
00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:51,063
Morning, Norman.
99
00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:52,314
Morning, Oliver.
100
00:03:52,391 --> 00:03:54,808
[Oliver]:
And I am one of them...
101
00:03:54,885 --> 00:03:56,018
The few...
102
00:03:56,094 --> 00:03:57,214
The proud...
103
00:03:57,238 --> 00:03:59,405
The postal.
104
00:03:59,482 --> 00:04:02,928
I work for you, whoever you are,
105
00:04:02,952 --> 00:04:04,702
or whoever you were.
106
00:04:06,146 --> 00:04:08,308
I told you, this is a mistake.
107
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:10,750
I'm supposed to be assigned
to direct line operations
108
00:04:10,826 --> 00:04:12,938
as a technical
systems consultant.
109
00:04:12,962 --> 00:04:15,245
It says right here
that you are D.L.O.
110
00:04:15,322 --> 00:04:17,122
Yeah. "Direct
line operations."
111
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:18,332
That's what Washington
is now calling
112
00:04:18,408 --> 00:04:20,375
computer-managed
delivery services.
113
00:04:20,452 --> 00:04:22,252
Well, we're still calling it the
"dead letter office."
114
00:04:22,329 --> 00:04:23,495
Look, if you just
call the PG's office...
115
00:04:23,573 --> 00:04:25,172
- In Washington and...
- That's a good idea.
116
00:04:25,249 --> 00:04:26,910
I'll call the postmaster general
117
00:04:26,934 --> 00:04:30,039
right after I return that call
from the secretary of defense.
118
00:04:30,063 --> 00:04:31,896
Okay. This is ridiculous.
119
00:04:31,972 --> 00:04:33,272
I don't belong here.
120
00:04:33,349 --> 00:04:36,108
You wait right here.
121
00:04:39,897 --> 00:04:41,188
Oliver!
122
00:04:41,265 --> 00:04:43,469
I want you to train this girl.
123
00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:44,867
She's a computer-something
from Washington.
124
00:04:44,944 --> 00:04:45,984
No.
125
00:04:46,061 --> 00:04:47,319
I will fire you.
126
00:04:47,396 --> 00:04:48,779
I have a government
service pay level
127
00:04:48,856 --> 00:04:49,947
higher than you can count.
128
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:51,852
I will take away
your refrigerator.
129
00:04:51,876 --> 00:04:53,867
You will return
my Mr. Coffee.
130
00:04:53,944 --> 00:04:56,212
[Clears her throat]
131
00:04:58,374 --> 00:04:59,957
Done.
132
00:05:00,033 --> 00:05:00,800
Send her in.
133
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,512
McInerney!
134
00:05:09,418 --> 00:05:10,601
It's you.
135
00:05:13,088 --> 00:05:16,014
Mr. Steamboat.
Incredible.
136
00:05:16,091 --> 00:05:17,983
You know each other?
137
00:05:19,078 --> 00:05:20,861
[Both at same time]:
Theoretically.
138
00:05:26,235 --> 00:05:28,744
[♪♪]
139
00:05:37,421 --> 00:05:40,080
Rita, Norman...
Our ranks have been increased.
140
00:05:40,157 --> 00:05:41,373
This is...
141
00:05:41,450 --> 00:05:43,529
This is...?
142
00:05:43,553 --> 00:05:45,210
Is?
143
00:05:45,287 --> 00:05:46,637
I'm Shane McInerney.
144
00:05:48,165 --> 00:05:49,423
[Oliver scoffs]
145
00:05:49,499 --> 00:05:51,967
I can't work
with someone named Shane.
146
00:05:52,044 --> 00:05:53,343
Norman?
147
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:54,928
Tell her why.
148
00:05:55,005 --> 00:05:56,897
I got it.
Because, uh, at some point,
149
00:05:56,974 --> 00:05:59,516
you, Shane, will walk away,
150
00:05:59,593 --> 00:06:02,060
and Oliver
will need you to... return?
151
00:06:02,137 --> 00:06:04,605
Very good, go on.
152
00:06:04,681 --> 00:06:06,565
And Oliver will be
forced to say...
153
00:06:06,642 --> 00:06:09,034
[Theatrically]:
"Shane! Come back, Shane!"
154
00:06:09,111 --> 00:06:11,056
At which point,
you will look at me
155
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,406
with much the same vacancy
with which you stare at me now,
156
00:06:14,483 --> 00:06:16,366
utterly unaware
157
00:06:16,443 --> 00:06:19,161
of the unfortunate
cinematic reference.
158
00:06:19,238 --> 00:06:20,754
Therefore, I shall call you...
159
00:06:20,831 --> 00:06:22,164
Tsk...
160
00:06:22,241 --> 00:06:24,091
[Takes a breath]
161
00:06:25,369 --> 00:06:26,802
"Sheryl."
162
00:06:28,172 --> 00:06:29,588
Sheryl?
163
00:06:29,665 --> 00:06:31,390
Well... [chuckles]
I'm just here temporarily...
164
00:06:31,467 --> 00:06:33,183
And how wise of you
165
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:35,477
to realize such a great truth
so early on in life.
166
00:06:35,554 --> 00:06:37,971
What I mean is,
there's been a mistake.
167
00:06:38,048 --> 00:06:39,334
A merry mix-up, perhaps.
168
00:06:39,358 --> 00:06:41,516
A mistake?
Well, we shall see.
169
00:06:41,593 --> 00:06:43,319
Rita, please file this
in a safe place.
170
00:06:45,156 --> 00:06:46,939
A photographic memory
171
00:06:47,015 --> 00:06:48,866
is a plus in this business.
172
00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:56,531
I believe there are
no coincidences, Ms. McInerney.
173
00:06:56,608 --> 00:07:00,419
Coincidence is
the middle name of the almighty.
174
00:07:01,571 --> 00:07:03,442
You did that?
175
00:07:03,466 --> 00:07:07,084
No. But it is a standard
to which we aspire,
176
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,669
and, one day,
we, too, shall join
177
00:07:08,745 --> 00:07:10,346
the pantheon
of postal excellence. Hmm?
178
00:07:13,092 --> 00:07:14,558
Every letter
179
00:07:14,635 --> 00:07:16,551
that passes through
the United States postal system
180
00:07:16,628 --> 00:07:19,054
represents an act of faith.
181
00:07:19,131 --> 00:07:22,358
Faith that it will
reach its destination
182
00:07:22,434 --> 00:07:23,642
on time and in good condition.
183
00:07:23,719 --> 00:07:26,561
Faith that what was written
by the writer
184
00:07:26,638 --> 00:07:30,324
shall remain private
until read by the...?
185

Look at that.

it's the other way around.

00:21:54,005 --> 00:21:56,681
It's not
some woo-woo spiritual journey.
546
00:21:56,757 --> 00:21:58,724
There are more things
in heaven and earth, Horatio,
547
00:21:58,801 --> 00:22:01,130
than are dreamt of
in your philosophy.
548
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:02,353
It's not Horatio, it's Sheryl.
549
00:22:02,430 --> 00:22:04,147
It's Shane!
550
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:06,385
It's Shakespeare, peasants.
551
00:22:06,409 --> 00:22:08,993
You may lack a sense of destiny,
552
00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:11,913
but you have one characteristic
that, if carefully cultivated,
553
00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:13,434
could be helpful.
554
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:16,242
It's something
I like to call curiosity.
555
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:17,335
Mm.
556
00:22:17,412 --> 00:22:19,921
You wanted to know
why we're here?
557
00:22:22,992 --> 00:22:25,301
[♪♪]
558
00:22:27,172 --> 00:22:30,423
I can explain.
559
00:22:30,499 --> 00:22:32,466
Okay, I can't explain,
560
00:22:32,543 --> 00:22:35,011
but I can tell you
that I didn't read it,
561
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:36,145
so, technically...
562
00:22:36,222 --> 00:22:37,458
Unauthorized removal
563
00:22:37,482 --> 00:22:39,932
is a gross violation
of regulation 67K.
564
00:22:40,009 --> 00:22:41,276
Yes, it is.
565
00:22:44,221 --> 00:22:47,323
But in this case...
A convenient one.
566
00:22:48,451 --> 00:22:50,201
What?
567
00:22:59,504 --> 00:23:02,538
I thought you never
broke the rules.
568
00:23:02,615 --> 00:23:04,841
Apparently, we have you
to do that for US.
569
00:23:04,918 --> 00:23:06,292
I, however,
570
00:23:06,369 --> 00:23:08,364
on occasion, must bend the law
571
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:10,880
in order to fulfill
the spirit of the law.
572
00:23:10,957 --> 00:23:13,016
Norman, please retrieve Rita.
She won't want to miss this.
573
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:15,810
Nuts?
574
00:23:20,424 --> 00:23:21,849
Thank you.
575
00:23:21,926 --> 00:23:23,517
For what?
576
00:23:23,594 --> 00:23:26,062
For outing me here
and not back at the office,
577
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:27,438
in front of Andrea.
578
00:23:27,515 --> 00:23:29,010
I prefer to do
as little as possible
579
00:23:29,034 --> 00:23:30,691
in front of Andrea.
580
00:23:30,768 --> 00:23:32,869
[♪♪]
581
00:23:34,647 --> 00:23:36,183
Welcome, Rita.
582
00:23:36,207 --> 00:23:38,978
I assume you remember
where we left off?
583
00:23:39,002 --> 00:23:40,368
[Rita sighs wistfully]
584
00:23:40,444 --> 00:23:42,170
"I'll always cherish
the memory of..."
585
00:23:42,247 --> 00:23:43,316
- Oh, here it is.
- "...That day..."
586
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:44,488
"When we met
587
00:23:44,566 --> 00:23:46,799
and tried so hard
not to fall in love."
588
00:23:49,370 --> 00:23:51,170
There's an art to the perfect
589
00:23:51,247 --> 00:23:52,171
bagel and lox combo.
590
00:23:52,248 --> 00:23:53,506
Okay.
591
00:23:53,582 --> 00:23:55,119
You got your onions,
tomatoes, cream cheese,
592
00:23:55,143 --> 00:23:56,517
all your major food groups.
593
00:23:56,594 --> 00:23:58,344
You eat one of these,
you're good for the day?
594
00:23:58,421 --> 00:23:59,437
Oh, yeah.
595
00:23:59,514 --> 00:24:01,222
And these are...?
596
00:24:01,298 --> 00:24:03,599
Ah. Capers. The key
to the whole enterprise.
597
00:24:03,676 --> 00:24:04,934
Ah! Uh-oh.
598
00:24:05,011 --> 00:24:06,185
The secret is,
599
00:24:06,262 --> 00:24:07,520
you sort of...
600
00:24:07,596 --> 00:24:11,649
Glue the caper into the cheese,
601
00:24:11,726 --> 00:24:14,263
that way, they don't roll off.
602
00:24:14,287 --> 00:24:16,120
And then the salmon,
603
00:24:16,197 --> 00:24:18,155
then the tomato...
604
00:24:18,232 --> 00:24:20,866
And the onion.
605
00:24:20,943 --> 00:24:22,251
And...
606
00:24:27,908 --> 00:24:30,468
[♪♪]
607
00:24:30,545 --> 00:24:33,629
You've...
You've got some...
608
00:24:33,706 --> 00:24:36,215
Right...
609
00:24:36,292 --> 00:24:37,925
There.
610
00:24:38,002 --> 00:24:40,303
[Charlie chuckles]
611
00:24:40,379 --> 00:24:42,138
Great nose, by the way.
612
00:24:42,214 --> 00:24:44,001
People probably
tell you that a lot, right?
613
00:24:44,025 --> 00:24:45,975
Your boyfriend, probably.
614
00:24:46,052 --> 00:24:47,384
You know, forget that.
615
00:24:47,462 --> 00:24:49,562
That's... that's too much
information for a first date.
616
00:24:49,638 --> 00:24:53,533
This is a... date, right?
617
00:24:53,609 --> 00:24:54,325
Sort of?
618
00:24:58,314 --> 00:25:00,239
I have a proposition.
619
00:25:00,316 --> 00:25:01,324
Yes.
620
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,104
Whatever it is...
621
00:25:03,128 --> 00:25:04,544
Yes.
622
00:25:08,407 --> 00:25:10,207
So, no last names?
623
00:25:10,284 --> 00:25:11,751
Right.
624
00:25:11,827 --> 00:25:14,846
No emails, no phone numbers,
no texting?
625
00:25:14,922 --> 00:25:16,200
No tweets.
626
00:25:16,224 --> 00:25:17,506
We just spend one day together,
627
00:25:17,583 --> 00:25:19,078
say whatever we want to say
628
00:25:19,102 --> 00:25:20,593
with no fear, no judgment,
629
00:25:20,669 --> 00:25:22,595
because we won't
see each other again.
630
00:25:22,671 --> 00:25:23,724
Yeah, see,
631
00:25:23,748 --> 00:25:25,440
that's the part
I'm having trouble with.
632
00:25:25,516 --> 00:25:26,460
Well, think about it.
633
00:25:26,484 --> 00:25:27,628
I mean, one day
634
00:25:27,652 --> 00:25:29,171
when you don't
have to worry about
635
00:25:29,195 --> 00:25:30,686
what you do or say
will affect tomorrow.
636
00:25:30,763 --> 00:25:32,188
We're just living...
637
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:33,281
Right now,
638
00:25:33,358 --> 00:25:34,640
today.
639
00:25:34,717 --> 00:25:37,243
Is this part of
your "life is short" philosophy?
640
00:25:38,321 --> 00:25:39,996
Are you in or out?
641
00:25:42,450 --> 00:25:45,659
No texting, no tweeting...
A girl after my own heart.
642
00:25:45,736 --> 00:25:49,121
What about Charlie?
Is he in or is he out?
643
00:25:49,198 --> 00:25:51,193
Well, from the length
of this letter,
644
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:53,542
I assume he bought into
the unorthodox plan,
645
00:25:53,619 --> 00:25:55,303
but if the last pages
yield as few clues
646
00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:56,796
as the first pages,
647
00:25:56,872 --> 00:25:58,380
we're gonna be hard-pressed
to find the writer.
648
00:25:58,457 --> 00:26:00,036
Or the writee.
649
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:01,434
I've got an idea.
650
00:26:01,511 --> 00:26:03,260
Oh, happy day.
651
00:26:03,337 --> 00:26:04,637
In the letter,
652
00:26:04,713 --> 00:26:06,250
it says that they went to a park
together, right?
653
00:26:06,274 --> 00:26:07,752
"Kelly, from Washington Park."
Yeah.
654
00:26:07,776 --> 00:26:08,891
I have a proposition.
655
00:26:08,968 --> 00:26:10,893
No.
656
00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:13,145
Whatever it is, no.
657
00:26:13,222 --> 00:26:14,717
She used a bicycle stamp,
658
00:26:14,741 --> 00:26:17,136
and you said that
she was sentimental, right?
659
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,513
I bet they went to that park
and rented bikes
660
00:26:19,537 --> 00:26:20,653
from Rita's little old man.
661
00:26:20,729 --> 00:26:21,987
- Schwinns.
- Schwinns!
662
00:26:22,064 --> 00:26:23,406
Oh! Schwinns.
663
00:26:23,482 --> 00:26:25,686
I propose...
664
00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:27,701
We go to the park tomorrow,
665
00:26:27,778 --> 00:26:30,107
on our lunch break,
and talk to him.
666
00:26:30,131 --> 00:26:31,506
This is...
667
00:26:31,582 --> 00:26:33,527
Highly irregular.
668
00:26:33,551 --> 00:26:34,717
We're looking for clues
in a love letter
669
00:26:34,794 --> 00:26:36,210
that aren't all going to
be in the letter.
670
00:26:36,287 --> 00:26:38,616
Yeah, and some of US could
really use some fresh air.
671
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,056
Yeah, Oliver!
672
00:26:44,220 --> 00:26:47,063
Are you in or are you out?
673
00:27:00,478 --> 00:27:02,723
[Sighs]: Oh. Oh, no.
674
00:27:02,747 --> 00:27:05,267
I can't believe this.
675
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:07,645
He used to sit right here
and now he's been replaced by...
676
00:27:07,669 --> 00:27:09,585
By this.
677
00:27:09,662 --> 00:27:13,881
Another dreadful example
of unnecessary automation.
678
00:27:13,958 --> 00:27:14,985
Well, shall we continue?
679
00:27:15,009 --> 00:27:16,175
Read on, MacDuff.

I only had one day to spend.

I used to cross
this bridge every day

on the way to school.

But you see this creek?
705
00:28:41,179 --> 00:28:42,907
All the kids would swing across
706
00:28:42,931 --> 00:28:44,713
on that rope
707
00:28:44,790 --> 00:28:46,090
instead of taking the bridge.
708
00:28:46,166 --> 00:28:47,591
But you took the bridge?
709
00:28:47,668 --> 00:28:50,636
I tried to
swing across at first.
710
00:28:50,713 --> 00:28:52,271
I'd grab the rope, but...
711
00:28:52,348 --> 00:28:53,814
Something always made me
put on the brakes
712
00:28:53,891 --> 00:28:54,974
at the last second.
713
00:28:55,050 --> 00:28:57,796
God, it was embarrassing.
714
00:28:57,820 --> 00:28:59,423
All the kids would be
on the other side,

yelling, "come on, Charlie!
You can do it."

After awhile, they stopped
expecting me to even try.
719
00:29:13,777 --> 00:29:15,244
So do it today.
720
00:29:15,321 --> 00:29:16,870
What?
721
00:29:16,947 --> 00:29:18,831
Swing! What
are you waiting for?
722
00:29:18,907 --> 00:29:20,736

00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,293
Okay.

You wait here.

00:29:27,475 --> 00:29:28,827
Hey, you may want a record
of this someday.
728
00:29:28,851 --> 00:29:30,220
Someday?
729
00:29:30,244 --> 00:29:31,872
Now, if there's a chance
we could have a "someday,"
730
00:29:31,896 --> 00:29:33,637
that's worth
risking my life for.
731
00:29:33,714 --> 00:29:35,481
Or my pride.
732
00:29:52,691 --> 00:29:55,334
Three! Two! One...
733
00:29:56,653 --> 00:29:58,454
[Roaring]: Ahh!
734
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:00,247
Whoo!
735
00:30:00,324 --> 00:30:01,874
[Laughing victoriously]
736
00:30:01,950 --> 00:30:03,445
Yes! Whoo!
737
00:30:03,469 --> 00:30:04,752
- Yeah!
- Oof!
738
00:30:04,828 --> 00:30:06,323
- [Both gasping]
- [Thudding]
739
00:30:06,347 --> 00:30:08,806
- Are you alright?
- Yeah, I'm good.
740
00:30:08,883 --> 00:30:10,591
Sorry!
741
00:30:10,667 --> 00:30:11,592
[Resumes laughing]
742
00:30:11,668 --> 00:30:13,052
Yes!
743
00:30:13,128 --> 00:30:15,396
Whoo! That was amazing!
744
00:30:15,473 --> 00:30:17,514
- Are you okay?
- Did you see that? Yeah!
745
00:30:17,591 --> 00:30:19,628
Pride goeth before
a fall, I guess.
746
00:30:19,652 --> 00:30:21,380
You lost a button, though.
747
00:30:21,404 --> 00:30:22,548
A small sacrifice
748
00:30:22,572 --> 00:30:24,563
for the leap of a lifetime.
749
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,634
Well, you were awfully nice
to that guy,
750
00:30:25,658 --> 00:30:27,033
considering he knocked you down.
751
00:30:27,109 --> 00:30:30,361
Well, life is short.
752
00:30:30,437 --> 00:30:31,695
That was so fun!
753
00:30:31,772 --> 00:30:34,165
[Contented sigh]
Ah! Whoo!
754
00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:39,462
[Kelly, writing]:
"I think that was the moment
755
00:30:39,538 --> 00:30:41,859
"I realized
how much I wanted to live.
756
00:30:41,883 --> 00:30:45,042
"How much I needed to believe
in a "someday" with you in it.
757
00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:48,490
"Maybe that's how it feels
to fall in love, Charlie...
758
00:30:48,514 --> 00:30:51,507
When you can't wait
for tomorrow."
759
00:30:51,583 --> 00:30:53,620
I just want to take
a couple of pictures.
760
00:30:53,644 --> 00:30:54,718
It's so pretty here.
761
00:30:54,795 --> 00:30:55,811
Go for it.
762
00:30:59,850 --> 00:31:02,401
[♪♪]
763
00:31:14,957 --> 00:31:17,833
So, am I ever gonna
see any of these pictures?
764
00:31:19,570 --> 00:31:21,495
I mean, if we're not gonna
see each other again,
765
00:31:21,572 --> 00:31:22,746
you could at least
766
00:31:22,823 --> 00:31:25,582
upload them to
the Charlie-and-Kelly website.
767
00:31:25,659 --> 00:31:28,552
Oh, now you want me
to break the rules?
768
00:31:29,806 --> 00:31:31,305
Why do you like taking pictures?
769
00:31:33,083 --> 00:31:34,912
Uh, let me see.
770
00:31:34,936 --> 00:31:35,746
Well, um...
771
00:31:35,770 --> 00:31:37,623
I know, in some cultures,
772
00:31:37,647 --> 00:31:39,500
people think taking
a photograph of something
773
00:31:39,524 --> 00:31:41,682
is like stealing
a piece of its soul.
774
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:43,150
But for me,
775
00:31:43,227 --> 00:31:48,467
taking a picture of someone
or something is a way to...
776
00:31:48,491 --> 00:31:50,302
I don't know...
To honor a soul.
777
00:31:50,326 --> 00:31:52,805
It's my way of saying,
778
00:31:52,829 --> 00:31:54,473
"Here you are, tree...
779
00:31:54,497 --> 00:31:56,989
"Here you are, sky...
780
00:31:57,065 --> 00:31:59,450
Here you are, Charlie."
781
00:31:59,526 --> 00:32:03,963
And...
For just a moment
782
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:07,466
I get to stop time
and really see you.
783
00:32:14,625 --> 00:32:16,392
[Shutter snaps]
784
00:32:17,770 --> 00:32:19,520
[Chuckles]
785
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,609
What?
What are you thinking?
786
00:32:29,139 --> 00:32:31,240
I'm just reading
this article here
787
00:32:31,317 --> 00:32:34,952
about "Roger Piperson, age 61,"
788
00:32:35,029 --> 00:32:38,581
a baker
who won the lottery last week.
789
00:32:38,657 --> 00:32:40,282
I bet everybody thinks
790
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:42,187
he's the luckiest guy
in the world.
791
00:32:42,211 --> 00:32:43,952
And yesterday,
I would have, too.
792
00:32:44,029 --> 00:32:45,588
But today,
793
00:32:45,664 --> 00:32:48,749
I think
the luckiest guy in the world
794
00:32:48,826 --> 00:32:50,301
is me.
795
00:32:57,042 --> 00:32:58,675
Click.
796
00:32:58,752 --> 00:33:00,552
[Norman]: Uh, on
the other side of this park,
797
00:33:00,629 --> 00:33:02,207
there is an exact replica
of Martha Washington's garden
798
00:33:02,231 --> 00:33:03,972
at Mount Vernon, Virginia.
799
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:05,399
I'm a direct descendant
800
00:33:05,476 --> 00:33:07,902
of George Washington's
accountant.
801
00:33:09,655 --> 00:33:12,856
I don't see the purpose
in continuing this field trip.
802
00:33:12,933 --> 00:33:15,234
Just a little bit longer,
Oliver, please?
803
00:33:15,310 --> 00:33:17,236
Just read a little bit more.
804
00:33:17,312 --> 00:33:18,695
There's got to be something
in that letter
805
00:33:18,772 --> 00:33:20,039
that will help US
806
00:33:20,115 --> 00:33:21,740
if we put ourselves
in Charlie and Kelly's place.
807
00:33:21,817 --> 00:33:23,450
I am not going to swing
across the creek.
808
00:33:23,527 --> 00:33:25,118
Fine.
809
00:33:25,195 --> 00:33:27,922
And tomorrow,
everything goes back to normal.
810
00:33:27,998 --> 00:33:31,050
Mm-hmm. If that's
what you consider normal.
811
00:33:32,703 --> 00:33:33,961
[Sighs]
812
00:33:34,037 --> 00:33:35,908
"I wanted to tell you everything
813
00:33:35,932 --> 00:33:37,214
right then, Charlie..."
814
00:33:37,291 --> 00:33:39,828
But I didn't want
to break the spell."
815
00:33:39,852 --> 00:33:41,602
[Kelly]:
"I've always been good at
816
00:33:41,679 --> 00:33:42,581
putting off the hard stuff."
817
00:33:42,605 --> 00:33:43,395
[Shutter snaps]
818
00:33:45,224 --> 00:33:48,141
I think we ought
to do something.
819
00:33:48,218 --> 00:33:49,643
Something
to commemorate this day.
820
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,798
Something
that makes a difference.
821
00:33:51,822 --> 00:33:53,138
We could get married.
822
00:33:53,215 --> 00:33:55,691
Tempting, but I don't marry
on the first date.
823
00:33:55,767 --> 00:33:57,734
Good point.
824
00:33:57,811 --> 00:33:58,953
Alright. Uh...
825
00:33:59,029 --> 00:34:00,821
Let's see.
826
00:34:00,897 --> 00:34:02,559
I got it!
827
00:34:02,583 --> 00:34:03,991
You saved my life today.
828
00:34:04,067 --> 00:34:06,001
Let's save some more.
829
00:34:07,338 --> 00:34:08,690
[Kelly]:
You want to give blood?
830
00:34:08,714 --> 00:34:11,415
Yeah. They give you cookies,
831
00:34:11,491 --> 00:34:13,612
and you get to lie down,
and it's free.
832
00:34:13,636 --> 00:34:16,128
I don't really
give blood anymore, so.
833
00:34:16,204 --> 00:34:18,505
Come on! They do it
once a year here in the park
834
00:34:18,582 --> 00:34:20,135
and it makes you feel great.
835
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,101
You won't swing across a creek,
but needles are no problem?
836
00:34:22,177 --> 00:34:23,561
I know. Go figure.
837
00:34:23,637 --> 00:34:25,104
I used to do it
all the time in college.
838
00:34:25,180 --> 00:34:28,056
I think I still have
my old donor card...
839
00:34:28,133 --> 00:34:30,225
What's the matter?
840
00:34:30,302 --> 00:34:33,186
Oh, man.
I think I, uh...
841
00:34:33,263 --> 00:34:35,884
I think I lost my wallet.
842
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:38,317
[Kelly sighs]
843
00:34:38,393 --> 00:34:41,945
I can't believe you lost
your job and your wallet
844
00:34:42,022 --> 00:34:44,017
on the same day.
845
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:46,033
Found your button, though.
846
00:34:46,109 --> 00:34:48,911
To be accurate, I quit my job.
847
00:34:48,987 --> 00:34:51,213
I did lose my wallet,
848
00:34:51,290 --> 00:34:53,206
but I found
the girl of my dreams,
849
00:34:53,283 --> 00:34:55,759
so I think it all balances out.
850
00:34:57,513 --> 00:34:58,921
Except...
851
00:34:58,997 --> 00:35:01,131
When I wake up tomorrow morning
852
00:35:01,208 --> 00:35:03,100
and realize
that I lost the girl.
853
00:35:09,132 --> 00:35:11,099
I'm sorry, Charlie, it just...
854
00:35:11,176 --> 00:35:13,819
It has to be this way.
855
00:35:15,222 --> 00:35:16,855
Promise me...
856
00:35:16,932 --> 00:35:19,691
You'll go home tonight,
857
00:35:19,768 --> 00:35:22,119
and you'll sew this button
back on your blazer
858
00:35:22,196 --> 00:35:24,613
and you'll find yourself
the job of your dreams
859
00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:27,616
and you'll meet
somebody wonderful
860
00:35:27,693 --> 00:35:30,606
and have lots of babies
and grandchildren,
861
00:35:30,630 --> 00:35:33,413
and make dozens of paper boats
for them
862
00:35:33,490 --> 00:35:35,958
every time you take them
for walks in the park,
863
00:35:36,034 --> 00:35:38,969
and when you set them sailing,
864
00:35:39,046 --> 00:35:41,055
you'll think of me.
865
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,858
Or you could come by tomorrow
and sew the button on yourself.
866
00:35:53,969 --> 00:35:55,339
[Chuckles sadly]
867
00:35:55,363 --> 00:35:58,355
Are you trying to tell me
you can't sew?
868
00:35:58,432 --> 00:36:01,158
I don't think I could do
anything without you now, Kelly.
869
00:36:06,106 --> 00:36:08,832
[♪♪]
870
00:36:15,916 --> 00:36:18,125
One more thing.
871
00:36:18,201 --> 00:36:20,552
Okay?
Just one more.
872
00:36:22,831 --> 00:36:24,339
If you swing really high...
873
00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:27,162
Over the trees...
874
00:36:27,186 --> 00:36:29,636
You see the big
apartment building?
875
00:36:29,713 --> 00:36:31,012
I see it.
876
00:36:31,089 --> 00:36:33,043
Okay, now look to the right.
877
00:36:33,067 --> 00:36:34,920
You see the rooftops?
878
00:36:34,944 --> 00:36:36,963
You see 'em?
879
00:36:36,987 --> 00:36:39,062
- Yep!
- Okay.
880
00:36:39,139 --> 00:36:43,650
Now look for a blue gate
with a flag above it.
881
00:36:43,727 --> 00:36:46,078
Yes! There it is. I saw it.
882
00:36:46,155 --> 00:36:48,030
That's me. The blue gate.
883
00:36:48,106 --> 00:36:49,351
That's where I live.
884
00:36:49,375 --> 00:36:51,353
Char...
You're breaking the rule!
885
00:36:51,377 --> 00:36:53,160
Yeah, well, you're
breaking my heart.
886
00:36:53,236 --> 00:36:55,454
Come on, promise me
that tomorrow morning
887
00:36:55,530 --> 00:36:57,776
I'm gonna wake up, and you'll
be sitting on my front steps.
888
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,416
Charlie, I...
889
00:36:59,493 --> 00:37:01,043
You're not comin' down
until you do!
890
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:02,636
[Kelly yelps and laughs]
891
00:37:02,713 --> 00:37:04,638
Higher!
892
00:37:09,845 --> 00:37:11,123
There it is!
893
00:37:11,147 --> 00:37:12,146
What? The blue gate?
894
00:37:12,222 --> 00:37:13,764
Yeah!
895
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,483
The blue gate.
896
00:37:18,929 --> 00:37:19,570
Let's go.
897
00:37:19,646 --> 00:37:20,854
Wait!
898
00:37:20,931 --> 00:37:22,355
Did Kelly go?
899
00:37:22,432 --> 00:37:25,108
Did she show up tomorrow...
Last year?
900
00:37:25,185 --> 00:37:27,319
It's not up to US
to decide what...
901
00:37:27,395 --> 00:37:29,029
[Sighs]
902
00:37:29,105 --> 00:37:30,956
"And then even though
I wanted to come back
903
00:37:31,033 --> 00:37:32,436
"and find you there,
904
00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:34,743
"waiting for me on the steps
by the blue gate,
905
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:35,827

1085
00:45:46,019 --> 00:45:49,028
So you think I am
that predictable, hmm?
1086
00:45:49,105 --> 00:45:52,949
No. I think you're that invested
in your work,
1087
00:45:53,026 --> 00:45:54,729
and an employee
with that much commitment
1088
00:45:54,753 --> 00:45:56,703
should not be allowed
to self-terminate,
1089
00:45:56,779 --> 00:45:59,289
or drink sub-standard
swill, for that matter.
1090
00:45:59,365 --> 00:46:00,290
[Cups bonk]
1091
00:46:00,366 --> 00:46:01,258
Thank you.
1092
00:46:01,334 --> 00:46:02,542
My pleasure.
1093
00:46:02,618 --> 00:46:03,613
Shouldn't be long now.
1094
00:46:03,637 --> 00:46:05,156
Mailman's around the corner.
1095
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:06,324
Just think.
1096
00:46:06,348 --> 00:46:07,338
In five minutes,
1097
00:46:07,415 --> 00:46:08,673
he could be opening up a letter,
1098
00:46:08,750 --> 00:46:09,786
and finding out that he has
1099
00:46:09,810 --> 00:46:11,384
a date on Friday
1100
00:46:11,461 --> 00:46:13,052
with the love of his life.
1101
00:46:13,129 --> 00:46:16,042
Or perhaps he has since met
1102
00:46:16,066 --> 00:46:17,649
a waitress from Olive Garden,
1103
00:46:17,726 --> 00:46:18,984
and is expecting twins,
1104
00:46:19,060 --> 00:46:20,268
and taken up work
1105
00:46:20,345 --> 00:46:22,478
as a grouter of bathroom tile.
1106
00:46:22,555 --> 00:46:24,522
Mm-mm, no. Not a chance.
Not our Charlie.
1107
00:46:24,599 --> 00:46:26,566
Oh. [Chuckles]
1108
00:46:26,642 --> 00:46:28,721
Mm. There it is.
1109
00:46:28,745 --> 00:46:30,556
[♪♪]
1110
00:46:30,580 --> 00:46:31,933
[Shane sighs wistfully]
1111
00:46:31,957 --> 00:46:34,115
Once again,
civilization prevails.
1112
00:46:34,192 --> 00:46:35,853
Wait, wait. Don't
you want to see him...
1113
00:46:35,877 --> 00:46:37,869
Open it...
1114
00:46:37,945 --> 00:46:40,213
[♪♪]
1115
00:46:50,416 --> 00:46:53,176
[Shane]: Who is that?
1116
00:46:53,252 --> 00:46:55,498
Wait...
1117
00:46:55,522 --> 00:46:58,251
What is she doing?
1118
00:46:58,275 --> 00:47:00,016
What is she doing?
1119
00:47:00,093 --> 00:47:01,337
What is she doing?
1120
00:47:01,361 --> 00:47:03,478
Uh... excuse me!
1121
00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:04,687
Miss Mc...
1122
00:47:04,764 --> 00:47:06,426
Uh, excuse me!
1123
00:47:06,450 --> 00:47:09,609
Hi! Uh... ma'am?
1124
00:47:09,685 --> 00:47:12,487
Uh, excuse me?
Um... hello.
1125
00:47:12,563 --> 00:47:15,531
I am from the United States
Postal Service.
1126
00:47:15,608 --> 00:47:17,687
I'm a direct line operations
systems consultant,
1127
00:47:17,711 --> 00:47:18,918
and I am conducting a...
1128
00:47:18,995 --> 00:47:20,953
Mail investigation.
1129
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:22,291
I don't get it.
1130
00:47:22,315 --> 00:47:24,791
You just removed that envelope
from the mailbox.
1131
00:47:24,867 --> 00:47:27,960
So? You don't have to make
a federal case out of it.
1132
00:47:28,037 --> 00:47:30,338
Actually, mail theft
is a federal case, ma'am.
1133
00:47:30,415 --> 00:47:31,923
[Laughs] I'm not stealing it.
1134
00:47:31,999 --> 00:47:34,175
I'm returning it.
1135
00:47:34,252 --> 00:47:37,095
Charlie Riggs
has been gone for a year,
1136
00:47:37,171 --> 00:47:38,938
and I don't think
he's coming back.
1137
00:47:42,260 --> 00:47:45,311
I'm going to
have to confiscate this.
1138
00:47:45,388 --> 00:47:46,863
Confiscate away, honey.
1139
00:47:46,940 --> 00:47:49,449
Thank you.
1140
00:47:49,526 --> 00:47:51,409
What?
1141
00:47:54,564 --> 00:47:55,892
[Sighs quietly]
1142
00:47:55,916 --> 00:47:57,615
What are you doing
with that letter?
1143
00:47:57,692 --> 00:47:59,209
You can't just...
1144
00:47:59,285 --> 00:48:00,868
Read it.
1145
00:48:00,945 --> 00:48:03,066
[♪♪]
1146
00:48:03,090 --> 00:48:04,956
[Norman]:
What do you mean he's in jail?
1147
00:48:05,032 --> 00:48:07,834
I mean his neighbor wrote
"not at this address. In jail."
1148
00:48:07,910 --> 00:48:09,552
On the envelope.
1149
00:48:09,629 --> 00:48:12,713
You intercepted the letter
at the point of delivery?
1150
00:48:12,790 --> 00:48:14,349
Yep.
Although 25 minutes earlier...
1151
00:48:14,426 --> 00:48:16,384
She had tendered
her resignation,
1152
00:48:16,461 --> 00:48:18,553
so, technically, she had
yet to be reinstated
1153
00:48:18,629 --> 00:48:20,012
as a government servant.
1154
00:48:20,089 --> 00:48:22,473
It's sheer luck I was there
in time to intercept it.
1155
00:48:22,550 --> 00:48:24,442
Luck is the religion
of the lazy.
1156
00:48:25,837 --> 00:48:27,937
Guess what? I found it.
I stopped it just in time.
1157
00:48:28,014 --> 00:48:29,280
Your card.
1158
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,411
It's from your dad, right?
1159
00:48:35,555 --> 00:48:38,873
And the handwriting is male,
late 40s, early 50s.
1160
00:48:42,712 --> 00:48:43,953
Aren't you going to open it?
1161
00:48:44,030 --> 00:48:45,066
Maybe later.
1162
00:48:45,090 --> 00:48:47,081
Gotta find Charlie Riggs first.
1163
00:48:47,158 --> 00:48:49,153
Charlie? Kelly's Charlie?
1164
00:48:49,177 --> 00:48:51,197
Yeah, Charlie-in-jail-
for-something Charlie.
1165
00:48:51,221 --> 00:48:52,907
Knew there was something
fishy about that guy.
1166
00:48:52,931 --> 00:48:54,213
Shh! I'm Googling.
1167
00:48:54,290 --> 00:48:56,466
But "Charlie Riggs"
is such a nice name.
1168
00:48:56,542 --> 00:48:58,101
- Oh, my god!
- What?
1169
00:48:58,178 --> 00:49:00,052
Do you remember
the baker Roger Piperson,
1170
00:49:00,129 --> 00:49:01,624
who won the lottery?
1171
00:49:01,648 --> 00:49:03,306
He's "the luckiest man
in the world."
1172
00:49:03,382 --> 00:49:05,475
Roger Piperson was murdered...
1173
00:49:05,551 --> 00:49:08,478
By a man named Charlie Riggs.
1174
00:49:08,554 --> 00:49:11,281
[♪♪]
1175
00:49:16,738 --> 00:49:17,704
It's impossible.
1176
00:49:17,780 --> 00:49:19,864
Wait! I remember.
1177
00:49:19,941 --> 00:49:22,241
I read an article
about the baker in Park Hill.
1178
00:49:22,318 --> 00:49:23,784
He was going to give away
all of his lottery money
1179
00:49:23,861 --> 00:49:25,077
to an orphanage
1180
00:49:25,154 --> 00:49:26,746
in Loreto Heights,
where he grew up.
1181
00:49:26,822 --> 00:49:28,756
They said that he was
a real self-made man.
1182
00:49:28,833 --> 00:49:30,278
He used to give cookies
1183
00:49:30,302 --> 00:49:32,084
to the kids every day
after school.
1184
00:49:32,161 --> 00:49:32,844
But then Charlie...
1185
00:49:32,921 --> 00:49:34,795
Not Charlie.
1186
00:49:34,872 --> 00:49:36,380
Right!
1187
00:49:36,457 --> 00:49:38,661
Someone, somebody,
went into the bakery,
1188
00:49:38,685 --> 00:49:40,435
shot the baker, and...
1189
00:49:42,046 --> 00:49:43,429
And what?
1190
00:49:43,506 --> 00:49:45,598
I stopped reading.
1191
00:49:45,675 --> 00:49:47,767
It was just too sad.
1192
00:49:47,843 --> 00:49:50,923
Well, I don't believe it.
1193
00:49:50,947 --> 00:49:52,605
Not our Charlie.
1194
00:49:52,682 --> 00:49:54,699
[Oliver]:
He's not "our Charlie."
1195
00:49:54,776 --> 00:49:55,942
And if it's true,
1196
00:49:56,018 --> 00:49:57,763
then perhaps Kelly made
the right decision
1197
00:49:57,787 --> 00:49:59,237
when she decided to walk away.
1198
00:49:59,313 --> 00:50:02,031
I can't believe
you just said that.
1199
00:50:02,108 --> 00:50:04,158
I know you want
these two to be happy...
1200
00:50:04,235 --> 00:50:06,022
No. Wait. Here it is.
1201
00:50:06,046 --> 00:50:07,982
Detective Arthur Kimsey of
the criminal investigation unit
1202
00:50:08,006 --> 00:50:09,956
said it was the shortest
murder investigation
1203
00:50:10,032 --> 00:50:11,916
"in his 12 years on the force."
1204
00:50:11,993 --> 00:50:13,613
[Detective]:
We just went to his house
1205
00:50:13,637 --> 00:50:15,253
"and waited for him
to come home."
1206
00:50:15,329 --> 00:50:16,462
[Reporter]:
According to Detective Kimsey,
1207
00:50:16,539 --> 00:50:17,931
Riggs was easily apprehended
1208
00:50:18,007 --> 00:50:19,140
because he not only matched
1209
00:50:19,217 --> 00:50:20,758
the description
of the alleged gunman,
1210
00:50:20,835 --> 00:50:21,851
but also because,
1211
00:50:21,928 --> 00:50:23,803
in his haste
to escape the scene,
1212
00:50:23,879 --> 00:50:26,147
he dropped his wallet
and identification behind.
1213
00:50:26,224 --> 00:50:28,461
Oh, no.
It is our Charlie.
1214
00:50:28,485 --> 00:50:30,026
Ah, he's not bad-lookin'.
1215
00:50:30,103 --> 00:50:32,070
[Shane]: "Riggs was
taken into custody and charged"
1216
00:50:32,146 --> 00:50:33,279
"with second-degree murder
1217
00:50:33,356 --> 00:50:34,759
"during the commission
of an armed robbery.
1218
00:50:34,783 --> 00:50:36,677
"He's pleaded "not guilty"
1219
00:50:36,701 --> 00:50:38,818
"and remains
incarcerated without bail,
1220
00:50:38,894 --> 00:50:40,861
and is awaiting trial."
1221
00:50:40,938 --> 00:50:43,406
Well...
1222
00:50:43,482 --> 00:50:45,032
There it is.
1223
00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:47,126
[Lid claps shut]
1224
00:50:48,446 --> 00:50:51,005
Kelly didn't say anything
in her letter
1225
00:50:51,082 --> 00:50:52,799
about him being clumsy.
1226
00:50:52,875 --> 00:50:54,875
[Oliver]: Or homicidal.
1227
00:50:54,952 --> 00:50:57,795
Wait. What date was that?
1228
00:50:57,872 --> 00:51:00,673
Last year.
I think this month...
1229
00:51:00,750 --> 00:51:01,744
Oh... wow.
1230
00:51:01,768 --> 00:51:02,883
Oliver.
1231
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,727
It happened a year ago
on the 26th.
1232
00:51:06,922 --> 00:51:08,606
I need a yoo-hoo.
1233
00:51:09,967 --> 00:51:10,891
What's going on?
1234
00:51:10,968 --> 00:51:12,310
Norman, don't you get it?
1235
00:51:12,386 --> 00:51:13,506
Charlie was with Kelly that day,
1236
00:51:13,530 --> 00:51:15,521
all day,
and he dropped his wallet,
1237
00:51:15,598 --> 00:51:18,065
so whoever picked it up
probably shot the baker.
1238
00:51:18,142 --> 00:51:19,525
He's a lot taller
than I thought he would be.
1239
00:51:19,602 --> 00:51:20,577
I was in a jail once.
1240
00:51:20,653 --> 00:51:21,947
I was visiting a cousin
1241
00:51:21,971 --> 00:51:23,821
who was doing 10 days
in Quartzville, Arizona...
1242
00:51:23,898 --> 00:51:25,832
- For tipping cows.
- Norman, please stop talking...
1243
00:51:25,908 --> 00:51:27,742
And I mean it from the very
bottom of my heart, okay?
1244
00:51:27,818 --> 00:51:31,296
"Riggs faces life
in lottery-winner shooting."
1245
00:51:31,372 --> 00:51:33,080
Oh, my gosh! He goes
to trial next week.
1246
00:51:33,157 --> 00:51:34,874
What are we going to do?
1247
00:51:34,950 --> 00:51:36,593
We're going to
re-address the letter
1248
00:51:36,669 --> 00:51:38,544
to Charlie, care of
the county jail.
1249
00:51:38,621 --> 00:51:41,055
That's it?
He needs our help!
1250
00:51:41,132 --> 00:51:42,882
Well, clearly, he
needs someone's help,
1251
00:51:42,958 --> 00:51:44,579
like his lawyer, for example,
1252
00:51:44,603 --> 00:51:45,977
but the U.S.
Postal system
1253
00:51:46,054 --> 00:51:47,832
is not in the habit
of defending murderers.
1254
00:51:47,856 --> 00:51:49,397
He's not a murderer!
1255
00:51:49,474 --> 00:51:50,876
That's right, and we know that,
so we need to do something.
1256
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:51,919
Well, the truth is,
1257
00:51:51,943 --> 00:51:53,225
we don't know anything
1258
00:51:53,302 --> 00:51:54,485
beyond what's in the letter.
1259
00:51:54,562 --> 00:51:55,548
Voila!
1260
00:51:55,572 --> 00:51:56,982
What is this?
1261
00:51:57,006 --> 00:51:58,898
This is Jerry Polevich,
Charlie's public defender,
1262
00:51:58,974 --> 00:52:01,117
and he happens to be
on a dating website.

1274
00:52:29,314 --> 00:52:31,138
That's quite enough "Googling,"
Ms. McInerney.
1275
00:52:31,215 --> 00:52:32,398
I'm calling the receptionist

Jerry Polevich, Esquire?
1280

If personal injury's your plan,
Polevich is your man.
1281
00:52:41,475 --> 00:52:43,275
Uh, I will keep that
in mind, sir,
1282
00:52:43,352 --> 00:52:46,182
but I'm not calling
to solicit your services.
1283
00:52:46,206 --> 00:52:48,572
I am calling from
the main post office down...
1284

Ah! Great!
You found 'em!
1285
00:52:50,025 --> 00:52:51,668
I don't know how you guys
could manage to lose
1286
00:52:51,744 --> 00:52:54,495
60 pounds of mail-order steak
on dry ice.
1287
00:52:54,572 --> 00:52:57,456
The United States Post Office
does not "lose" things, sir.
1288
00:52:57,533 --> 00:52:59,028
Look, if-if you don't
wanna sue anybody,
1289
00:52:59,052 --> 00:53:00,167
you don't got my steak,
1290
00:53:00,244 --> 00:53:01,260
what do ya want?
1291
00:53:01,337 --> 00:53:04,639
Well, I'm calling
with information
1292
00:53:04,716 --> 00:53:05,715
about the man who killed...
1293
00:53:05,791 --> 00:53:07,058
Allegedly!
1294
00:53:07,135 --> 00:53:10,228
Allegedly killed Roger Piperson.
1295
00:53:10,304 --> 00:53:11,145
Who?
1296
00:53:11,222 --> 00:53:12,513
Charles Riggs.
1297
00:53:12,590 --> 00:53:14,974
You are his public defender,
are you not?
1298
00:53:15,050 --> 00:53:18,069
Charles Riggs?
Well, then who's Roger Piperson?
1299
00:53:18,146 --> 00:53:19,507
The baker!
1300
00:53:19,531 --> 00:53:21,814
Who was unfortunately
dispatched... last year.
1301
00:53:21,891 --> 00:53:23,357
Oh, right, right, right, right.
1302
00:53:23,434 --> 00:53:25,109
The Piperson bakery.
1303
00:53:25,186 --> 00:53:26,402
Oh! I loved that bakery!
1304
00:53:26,479 --> 00:53:27,945
I haven't had
a decent bearclaw since.
1305
00:53:28,022 --> 00:53:28,871
What about him?
1306
00:53:28,948 --> 00:53:30,415
Well, I have proof...
1307
00:53:30,491 --> 00:53:32,291
A letter detailing
Charles Riggs' activities
1308
00:53:32,368 --> 00:53:34,168
the day the baker was dispatched
1309
00:53:34,245 --> 00:53:36,746
which proves his innocence
incontroverti...
1310
00:53:36,822 --> 00:53:38,297
Look, look, pal.
Anybody can write a letter.
1311
00:53:38,374 --> 00:53:40,082
Do you got any pictures? Video?
1312
00:53:40,159 --> 00:53:41,843
No.
1313
00:53:41,919 --> 00:53:43,177
Well, that's what
I'm gonna need.
1314
00:53:43,254 --> 00:53:45,379
You get me my visuals
and my 60 pounds of steak,
1315
00:53:45,456 --> 00:53:47,181
then we'll talk.
1316
00:53:48,334 --> 00:53:50,226
You still wanna
do nothing, Oliver?
1317
00:53:50,303 --> 00:53:52,845
You wanna leave it up
to the crack legal mind
1318
00:53:52,922 --> 00:53:54,430
of a man who buys his meat
through the mail?
1319
00:53:54,507 --> 00:53:56,348
No, of course not,
but we have no alternative.
1320
00:53:56,425 --> 00:53:58,087
Wrong.
1321
00:53:58,111 --> 00:54:00,019
The other day,
1322
00:54:00,095 --> 00:54:01,320
you said that we are responsible
1323
00:54:01,397 --> 00:54:03,022
for what little truth we have.
1324
00:54:03,098 --> 00:54:04,385
Well, the truth is,
1325
00:54:04,409 --> 00:54:06,400
Charlie Riggs is innocent
and we can prove it.
1326
00:54:06,477 --> 00:54:07,952
Possibly.
1327
00:54:08,029 --> 00:54:08,995
Possibly? Probably!
1328
00:54:09,071 --> 00:54:10,371
And we have a moral obligation
1329
00:54:10,448 --> 00:54:11,934
to at least try.
1330
00:54:11,958 --> 00:54:13,452
What are you proposing?
1331
00:54:13,476 --> 00:54:16,786
We know Polevich won't do
anything with the letter, right?
1332
00:54:16,862 --> 00:54:20,359
But if we deliver
the letter to Charlie in person,
1333
00:54:20,383 --> 00:54:23,417
maybe he can tell US something
that we can do to help him.
1334
00:54:23,494 --> 00:54:25,219
Charlie needs this letter.
1335
00:54:27,122 --> 00:54:29,048
He needs to keep
that date with Kelly
1336
00:54:29,124 --> 00:54:31,350
and he needs a friend.
1337
00:54:31,427 --> 00:54:33,853
I know it's risky,
1338
00:54:33,930 --> 00:54:35,554
but...
1339
00:54:35,631 --> 00:54:38,015
Sometimes, you just
have to take the leap.
1340
00:54:38,092 --> 00:54:40,309
- It's a compelling proposition.
- Look...

Me too! I didn't get in.
1350

There's also the problem
of Andrea, of course.

She'll want to know
what we're up to.
1352
00:55:04,210 --> 00:55:06,460
Well, we simply tell her
that we are fact-gathering

of letters

Do I know you?
1438
00:58:31,450 --> 00:58:32,486
No, Charlie, you don't,
1439
00:58:32,510 --> 00:58:33,250
but we're here to help you.
1440
00:58:33,327 --> 00:58:34,760
Finally.
1441
00:58:34,837 --> 00:58:36,429
You're from the state legal
assistance office, right?
1442
00:58:36,505 --> 00:58:38,431
Actually, we're from
the U.S. Post office.
1443
00:58:40,918 --> 00:58:42,551
[Quiet gasp]
1444
00:58:42,628 --> 00:58:44,219
I knew something was wrong.
1445
00:58:44,296 --> 00:58:47,314
I knew she would've come forward
if she could've.
1446
00:58:50,403 --> 00:58:53,173
Everybody thought I made her up,
1447
00:58:53,197 --> 00:58:55,551
but now I've got proof.
1448
00:58:55,575 --> 00:58:58,192
Only proof that
she loved you, I'm afraid.
1449
00:58:58,268 --> 00:59:00,736
And I'm afraid
you can't prove anything else
1450
00:59:00,813 --> 00:59:01,907
about that day
1451
00:59:01,931 --> 00:59:04,782
without her
and the pictures she took.
1452
00:59:04,858 --> 00:59:07,910
[Shane]: All you need is one
photo with Kelly from that day.
1453
00:59:07,986 --> 00:59:11,422
Maybe one with the Bloodmobile
that only happens once a y...
1454
00:59:11,499 --> 00:59:13,485
Once a year in the park!
That'd be perfect.
1455
00:59:13,509 --> 00:59:15,209
Now, on the 26th...
1456
00:59:15,285 --> 00:59:16,552
On the 26th, I'll still be here.
1457
00:59:17,955 --> 00:59:19,783
Then we'll go for you.
1458
00:59:19,807 --> 00:59:21,682
We'll keep that date
on the bridge.
1459
00:59:21,759 --> 00:59:23,133
We'll meet Kelly,
1460
00:59:23,210 --> 00:59:24,676
and we'll get the pictures,
and we'll let you know
1461
00:59:24,753 --> 00:59:26,479
as soon as we get them.
1462
00:59:27,815 --> 00:59:29,501
I just want to know
if she's okay.
1463
00:59:29,525 --> 00:59:32,212
I wish I knew
what was wrong with her.
1464
00:59:32,236 --> 00:59:34,298
We could make some...
1465
00:59:34,322 --> 00:59:35,799
Discreet inquiries.
1466
00:59:35,823 --> 00:59:37,676
Is there anything else
you can tell us about her
1467
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:39,617
that wasn't in that letter?
1468
00:59:41,529 --> 00:59:44,321
Well, I remember
when she got on the elevator,
1469
00:59:44,398 --> 00:59:46,156
she had these beautiful eyes.
1470
00:59:46,233 --> 00:59:47,366
Charlie, do you remember
1471
00:59:47,442 --> 00:59:49,855
what floor
she got on in the elevator?
1472
00:59:49,879 --> 00:59:53,400
I... I think
it was the third floor.
1473
00:59:53,424 --> 00:59:54,706
That was the Colorado bank
building, right?
1474
00:59:54,783 --> 00:59:56,509
Yeah, I think. Why?
1475
00:59:56,585 --> 00:59:59,336
Just give me a second.

the pony express exhibit.

01:05:15,937 --> 01:05:18,622
she wasn't there anymore.

of being married
to a government official,
1602
01:05:56,895 --> 01:05:59,663
and she figured,
since she was in Washington, DC,
1603
01:05:59,740 --> 01:06:01,948
it was the closest
she had ever been to Paris,
1604

on her message was,

"I'll send you
my forwarding address.

"or rev-or."

01:06:33,431 --> 01:06:38,452
But I assume her accent's
much improved by now.
1616
01:06:42,666 --> 01:06:45,792
Don't you think you've waited
for her long enough?
1617
01:06:47,087 --> 01:06:49,838
I believe in keeping promises.
1618
01:06:51,366 --> 01:06:53,592
I am, after all, a gentleman.
1619
01:06:56,997 --> 01:06:59,515
That you are.
1620
01:07:06,756 --> 01:07:09,182
Oliver?
1621
01:07:09,259 --> 01:07:11,944
Would you like to dance?
1622
01:07:13,096 --> 01:07:14,988
[Laughing]
1623
01:07:19,561 --> 01:07:21,620
[♪♪]
1624
01:07:29,070 --> 01:07:32,172
Have you ever thought
about just going to Paris?
1625
01:07:33,783 --> 01:07:36,510
Sadly, I lack
the proper luggage.
1626
01:07:36,587 --> 01:07:38,637
Or you could
just give me her name
1627
01:07:38,714 --> 01:07:40,130
and I'll look her up
in 10 seconds,
1628
01:07:40,206 --> 01:07:42,953
and then you'd finally know.
1629
01:07:42,977 --> 01:07:45,644
I suppose I would.
1630
01:07:48,932 --> 01:07:51,558
You know, I bet that's it.
1631
01:07:51,635 --> 01:07:53,977
You eschew the electronic age,
1632
01:07:54,054 --> 01:07:56,187
because if you knew...
1633
01:07:56,264 --> 01:07:58,740
Love that word. "Eschew."
1634
01:08:01,203 --> 01:08:03,328
[♪♪]
1635
01:08:05,749 --> 01:08:08,667
You reject it all,
1636
01:08:08,744 --> 01:08:12,704
because if you knew
how to Google and Skype
1637
01:08:12,781 --> 01:08:15,248
and tweet and that stuff,
1638
01:08:15,325 --> 01:08:16,833
you would no longer
have an excuse
1639
01:08:16,910 --> 01:08:18,543
for not facing the truth.
1640
01:08:18,620 --> 01:08:21,950
Please don't psychoanalyze
the section leader.
1641
01:08:21,974 --> 01:08:23,965
Besides, you're one to talk.
1642
01:08:24,042 --> 01:08:26,217
What do you mean?
1643
01:08:26,294 --> 01:08:30,731
Well, why haven't
you opened your card yet?
1644
01:08:30,807 --> 01:08:32,232
Hmm?
1645
01:08:32,309 --> 01:08:34,651
You should open it.
1646
01:08:34,728 --> 01:08:37,103
My guess is a birthday card
1647
01:08:37,180 --> 01:08:39,718
from daddy with a...
1648
01:08:39,742 --> 01:08:40,760
20 in it.
1649
01:08:40,784 --> 01:08:43,285
[♪♪]
1650
01:08:46,940 --> 01:08:48,624
You are good.
1651
01:08:51,403 --> 01:08:56,089
Yeah. He always sent me
$20 for my birthday.
1652
01:08:57,826 --> 01:08:59,551
Sent.
1653
01:08:59,628 --> 01:09:01,011
Not gave?
1654
01:09:03,456 --> 01:09:06,600
He left us when I was 10.
1655
01:09:07,919 --> 01:09:10,553
He always promised
to come to my birthday,
1656
01:09:10,630 --> 01:09:13,848
but all I ever got was
a card and some money.
1657
01:09:13,925 --> 01:09:15,253
That's why...
1658
01:09:15,277 --> 01:09:18,798
Making sure Kelly and Charlie
kept that date
1659
01:09:18,822 --> 01:09:19,938
meant so much to you.
1660
01:09:20,014 --> 01:09:22,282
Yeah, maybe.
1661
01:09:25,603 --> 01:09:28,997
I know what it's like to wait
for someone who never comes.
1662
01:09:31,818 --> 01:09:34,836
[Whispers]:
I'm sorry for you.
1663
01:09:36,256 --> 01:09:40,083
Life is short,
Ms. McInerney.
1664
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,510
[Sniffles deeply]
1665
01:09:41,586 --> 01:09:43,698
Perhaps your father's
sending you a message,
1666
01:09:43,722 --> 01:09:44,908
an olive branch that...
1667
01:09:44,932 --> 01:09:46,618
"Life is short."
Oliver...
1668
01:09:46,642 --> 01:09:47,757
Oliver, that's it!
1669
01:09:47,834 --> 01:09:49,184
[Slapping him]
1670
01:09:49,261 --> 01:09:50,747
She was sending him a message!
1671
01:09:50,771 --> 01:09:52,813
Rita! Norman!
1672
01:09:52,889 --> 01:09:54,815
Let's go!
1673
01:09:56,810 --> 01:09:58,860
[♪♪]
1674
01:10:00,823 --> 01:10:01,938
[Shane]: There's a reason
1675
01:10:02,015 --> 01:10:04,065
she never wanted him
to forget that...
1676
01:10:04,142 --> 01:10:05,692
It was her way
of breaking the rules,
1677
01:10:05,769 --> 01:10:07,285
a way for him to find her.
1678
01:10:07,362 --> 01:10:08,903
She was sending him a message?
1679
01:10:08,980 --> 01:10:10,780
"Life is short."
1680
01:10:10,857 --> 01:10:13,125
Filter for "Kelly."
1681
01:10:13,201 --> 01:10:14,751
"Kelly and Charlie..."
1682
01:10:14,828 --> 01:10:18,024
Kelly... Kelly S.
1683
01:10:18,048 --> 01:10:19,706
Yes! [Stomps foot]
1684
01:10:19,783 --> 01:10:23,343
Oh! Look at her.
She was so beautiful.
1685
01:10:23,420 --> 01:10:25,198
[Norman]: "Charlie,
if you find this page",
1686
01:10:25,222 --> 01:10:27,380
"you must have really
wanted to find me.
1687
01:10:27,457 --> 01:10:28,840
"And in case I don't
make it to the bridge,
1688
01:10:28,917 --> 01:10:30,258
"I wanted you to have
these pictures
1689
01:10:30,335 --> 01:10:32,205
to remember the last
best day of my life."
1690
01:10:32,229 --> 01:10:33,887
There's Charlie by the lake.
1691
01:10:33,963 --> 01:10:35,250
There he is sailing the boat.
1692
01:10:35,274 --> 01:10:37,390
What about Charlie
and the bloodmobile?
1693
01:10:37,467 --> 01:10:38,475
They have to be
in the same picture
1694
01:10:38,551 --> 01:10:39,809
in order
to establish time and place.
1695
01:10:39,886 --> 01:10:42,228
Okay, there he is,
swinging across the creek,
1696
01:10:42,305 --> 01:10:43,229
landing on the other side,
1697
01:10:43,306 --> 01:10:44,647
there he is running.
1698
01:10:44,724 --> 01:10:46,845
No, that's the jogger
that ran into Charlie!
1699
01:10:46,869 --> 01:10:48,392
No, wait.
Or is that Charlie?
1700
01:10:48,470 --> 01:10:50,162
No. That's the jogger. It just
sort of looks like Charlie.
1701
01:10:50,238 --> 01:10:51,780
It looks a lot like Charlie.
1702
01:10:51,856 --> 01:10:54,324
Same hair, same build.
1703
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:55,700
So Charlie was
knocked down by someone
1704
01:10:55,777 --> 01:10:56,960
who looked
a great deal like him.
1705
01:10:57,037 --> 01:10:58,920
Right before he lost his wallet.
1706
01:11:04,327 --> 01:11:06,762
[♪♪]
1707
01:11:18,725 --> 01:11:20,892
[♪♪]
1708
01:11:20,969 --> 01:11:22,714
There! There he is!
He's on the move.
1709
01:11:22,738 --> 01:11:25,730
Well, get in!
Come on.
1710
01:11:25,807 --> 01:11:28,366
[♪♪]
1711
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:34,239
Oliver, can't this thing
go any faster?
1712
01:11:34,315 --> 01:11:35,916
My foot's all the way down.
1713
01:11:38,862 --> 01:11:40,745
- Oh, he's over there!
- Ow.
1714
01:11:40,822 --> 01:11:42,088
Okay, here we go.
1715
01:11:42,165 --> 01:11:44,382
- Oh! Look out!
- Sorry!
1716
01:11:44,459 --> 01:11:45,834
There he is... 1:00.
1717
01:11:45,910 --> 01:11:48,595
Hang on, Rita!
1718
01:11:50,123 --> 01:11:51,598
Hey! Ho!
1719
01:11:51,675 --> 01:11:52,911
You jerk.
1720
01:11:52,935 --> 01:11:54,217
What are you doing?
1721
01:11:54,294 --> 01:11:55,293
Sorry, sir.
1722
01:11:55,370 --> 01:11:56,831
The 18th hole is
currently off-limits
1723
01:11:56,855 --> 01:11:58,972
due to some suspicious
ground squirrel activity.
1724
01:11:59,048 --> 01:12:00,168
What the hell is going on?
1725
01:12:00,192 --> 01:12:01,211
A moment of your time, Jerry.
1726
01:12:01,235 --> 01:12:02,392
Who are you people?
1727
01:12:02,468 --> 01:12:04,589
Loyal Americans dedicated
1728
01:12:04,613 --> 01:12:05,821
to the highest standard
of mail delivery.
1729
01:12:05,897 --> 01:12:08,439
We have some information
of the utmost importance
1730
01:12:08,516 --> 01:12:09,524
we want to bring
to your attention.
1731
01:12:09,601 --> 01:12:11,201
I gotta sink this putt
1732
01:12:11,278 --> 01:12:12,972
and be back in court
in half an hour.
1733
01:12:12,996 --> 01:12:16,114
We have
a double-double Reuben on rye
1734
01:12:16,190 --> 01:12:17,368
from the mile-high deli
1735
01:12:17,392 --> 01:12:19,479
that says you wanna hear
what we have to say.
1736
01:12:19,503 --> 01:12:20,869
[Oliver]: You are
the public defender
1737
01:12:20,945 --> 01:12:22,370
for Mr. Charles Riggs,
1738
01:12:22,447 --> 01:12:24,631
and this is the information
that proves he is innocent.
1739
01:12:26,367 --> 01:12:28,001
You're the guy that called me.
1740
01:12:28,077 --> 01:12:30,679
Photos taken the same day
the crime took place.
1741
01:12:30,755 --> 01:12:34,599
Note the Bloodmobile,
a once-a-year afternoon event.
1742
01:12:34,676 --> 01:12:36,259
Please pay particular attention
to this photo
1743
01:12:36,336 --> 01:12:39,470
of a man who bears
a remarkable resemblance
1744
01:12:39,547 --> 01:12:41,431
to Mr. Charles Riggs.
Please note his hand
1745
01:12:41,507 --> 01:12:43,775
suspiciously close to
Mr. Riggs' back pocket.
1746
01:12:43,852 --> 01:12:45,059
I submit to you
1747
01:12:45,136 --> 01:12:46,477
that he is stealing
the very wallet
1748
01:12:46,554 --> 01:12:48,438
that the murderer
of Roger Piperson
1749
01:12:48,514 --> 01:12:49,939
purposely dropped at
the scene of the crime...
1750
01:12:50,016 --> 01:12:51,302
That's ridiculous.
1751
01:12:51,326 --> 01:12:53,012
I know it seems
a bit far-fetched,
1752
01:12:53,036 --> 01:12:53,943
until I point out to you
1753
01:12:54,020 --> 01:12:57,071
the man accosting
Mr. Riggs,
1754
01:12:57,148 --> 01:12:58,268
removing his wallet,
1755
01:12:58,292 --> 01:12:59,332
is Eugene Mossley,
1756
01:12:59,409 --> 01:13:00,333
the cousin
1757
01:13:00,410 --> 01:13:02,327
and sole living relative
1758
01:13:02,403 --> 01:13:03,536
of the deceased millionaire.
1759
01:13:03,613 --> 01:13:05,630
Look him up.
He's on the Internet.
1760
01:13:05,707 --> 01:13:06,956
Oh.
1761
01:13:07,033 --> 01:13:08,207
Follow the money,
Mr. Polevich,
1762
01:13:08,284 --> 01:13:10,168
and I imagine you will
find the murder weapon
1763
01:13:10,244 --> 01:13:12,971
and a man who has just
inherited the millions
1764
01:13:13,048 --> 01:13:15,201
his cousin had
promised to an orphanage.
1765
01:13:15,225 --> 01:13:17,579
Okay, well,
I'm gonna give, uh, all this
1766
01:13:17,603 --> 01:13:19,552
some real thought.
1767
01:13:19,629 --> 01:13:22,597
No. You're gonna give that
to the district attorney
1768
01:13:22,674 --> 01:13:23,768
and you're gonna get
1769
01:13:23,792 --> 01:13:24,933
the charges against
Mr. Riggs dropped.
1770
01:13:25,009 --> 01:13:26,351
Immediately.
1771
01:13:26,427 --> 01:13:28,102
What is that?
Some kind of threat?
1772
01:13:28,179 --> 01:13:29,854
No.
1773
01:13:29,931 --> 01:13:32,065
But this is.
1774
01:13:32,141 --> 01:13:34,304
Have you ever seen
what happens to Montana steaks
1775
01:13:34,328 --> 01:13:37,037
when they've been rerouted
for additional postage?
1776
01:13:39,124 --> 01:13:41,750
[Takes a deep breath, sighs]
1777
01:13:44,570 --> 01:13:47,172
Well played, sir.
1778
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,387
[♪♪]
1779
01:14:03,649 --> 01:14:05,501
That's right, Parker.
1780
01:14:05,525 --> 01:14:07,067
The remarkable way
in which this new evidence
1781
01:14:07,143 --> 01:14:08,485
came to light
1782
01:14:08,561 --> 01:14:10,603
certainly contributed
to Riggs' speedy release,
1783
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,240
which we expect to take place...
Any minute now.
1784
01:14:15,452 --> 01:14:16,993
So this it?
1785
01:14:17,070 --> 01:14:19,682
It's really over?
1786
01:14:19,706 --> 01:14:21,823
Before you know it,
1787
01:14:21,899 --> 01:14:24,437
we'll be back at the D.L.O.,
packing our proverbial bags,
1788
01:14:24,461 --> 01:14:27,120
and transferring to Pueblo.
1789
01:14:27,196 --> 01:14:30,173
Or Meeker.
Or East Tincup.
1790
01:14:31,510 --> 01:14:34,219
Our days of rule-breaking

1795

Before it's all over,
I'd like to know why.
1796
01:14:47,133 --> 01:14:50,685
Shane McInerney, why are you
such a revolutionary?
1797
01:14:50,762 --> 01:14:53,154
Well...
1798
01:14:53,231 --> 01:14:55,573
Since you called me
by my real name,
1799
01:14:55,650 --> 01:14:58,451
I'm going to tell you,
Mr. O'Toole.
1800
01:15:00,330 --> 01:15:02,321
I always followed the rules.
1801
01:15:02,398 --> 01:15:04,249
Drove the speed limit.
1802
01:15:04,325 --> 01:15:06,409

five feet away

off furniture.

So...
1806
01:15:16,871 --> 01:15:21,641
One night, when
I went to a hospital,
1807
01:15:21,718 --> 01:15:23,018
and they told me
1808
01:15:23,094 --> 01:15:24,539
that visiting hours were over,
1809
01:15:24,563 --> 01:15:27,439
I said "thank you.
I will come back tomorrow."
1810
01:15:28,674 --> 01:15:30,400
But when tomorrow came...
1811
01:15:32,237 --> 01:15:35,605
I didn't have anyone
to come back to.
1812
01:15:35,681 --> 01:15:40,693
My dad had died in the night,
1813
01:15:40,770 --> 01:15:44,873
and I never got to the chance
to work things out with him.
1814
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:49,252
You two were at odds?
1815
01:15:50,230 --> 01:15:55,083
He had called
a couple of months before,
1816
01:15:55,159 --> 01:15:56,612
and said that he was sick
1817
01:15:56,636 --> 01:15:58,920
and he wanted to spend
my birthday with me
1818
01:15:58,996 --> 01:16:01,409
before he died.
1819
01:16:01,433 --> 01:16:03,758
I said...
1820
01:16:03,835 --> 01:16:06,186
That he had been gone so long,
1821
01:16:06,262 --> 01:16:09,355
that he was dead to me already.
1822
01:16:14,696 --> 01:16:15,853
But he was your dad.
1823
01:16:15,930 --> 01:16:18,323
I'm sure he knew
you didn't mean it.
1824
01:16:20,110 --> 01:16:22,535
He knew that I did.
1825
01:16:24,272 --> 01:16:26,309
Interesting.
1826
01:16:26,333 --> 01:16:28,333

uh, I am a man a faith.

any indication
1835
01:16:50,423 --> 01:16:51,889
that I believe in God
and redemption
1836
01:16:51,966 --> 01:16:53,391

that card away right now.

You're hoping...
1845

That when you
finally find the courage
1846
01:17:22,881 --> 01:17:25,673
to trust that your father
never stopped loving you,
1847
01:17:25,750 --> 01:17:30,595
and you tear open that pain
you've been carrying around,
1848

01:24:27,171 --> 01:24:29,638
[Doors swing open]
1972
01:24:29,715 --> 01:24:31,015
Come and get 'em!
1973
01:24:31,091 --> 01:24:33,921
I got three
skinny vanilla lattes
1974
01:24:33,945 --> 01:24:35,769
and one Steamboat Americano.
1975
01:24:35,846 --> 01:24:39,106
We have a lot of mail to sort
through today, people, so...
1976
01:24:39,183 --> 01:24:41,567
That was very nice of you.
1977
01:24:41,644 --> 01:24:45,121
Well, I found
an extra $20 in my purse.
1978

01:25:06,936 --> 01:25:09,248
[Oliver]: Yes,
the thoughtfully-composed,
1980
01:25:09,272 --> 01:25:10,763
well-considered, addressed,
1981
01:25:10,839 --> 01:25:12,668
stamped,
professionally postmarked,
1982
01:25:12,692 --> 01:25:15,225
and personally-delivered letter
1983
01:25:15,302 --> 01:25:17,945
is still the gold-standard
of human intercourse.
1984
01:25:18,022 --> 01:25:20,105
God is in his universe,
1985
01:25:20,182 --> 01:25:22,816
and all is right with the world.
1986
01:25:22,893 --> 01:25:24,869
