[Lansing] HOLD IT.

WHO KILLED WHO?

RICHARD KILLED HIS WIFE, LAURA.

WE WERE LOVERS.

RICHARD WHO?

YOU'VE GOT TO SEND SOMEONE
UP THERE.

THE CAR IS AT THE BOTTOM

LET'S GO IN HERE.

YOU CAN TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.

A.C.'S OUT.

IT'S A LITTLE STUFFY IN HERE.

OKAY.

SO WHEN DID ALL THIS START?

ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO.

THAT'S WHEN I FIRST MET HIM.

I HAD WORKED LATE ONE NIGHT.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND NEEDED
TO PICK UP A FEW THINGS.

[sound of video games]

[man] ...THIS STUFF.

THE CANDY, MAN.

IT'S THE MUNCHIES.

NO, NO, NACHOS, NACHOS.

[whispering]
It's okay.

THE CASH, THE CASH, GO.

COME ON. COME ON, HURRY UP.

HURRY UP.
COME ON, HURRY UP!

Relax.
Nobody can see us.

clank!

COME ON OUT
OR I'M GONNA KILL YOU. NOW!

I'LL KILL YOU
IF YOU DON'T COME OUT!

SHHH.

HURRY UP! NOW!

We're invisible.

HEY, PUNK!
YOU FORGOT THE BEER!

[gunshot]

[yelling]

OH, GOD. OH, GOD.

THANK YOU.
OH, THANK YOU.

DON'T WORRY, LADY.
IT'S OVER.

OH, GOD.

SO YOU NEVER
SAW HIS FACE, HUH?

I THOUGHT MAYBE I'D RUN INTO HIM
AT THE HEARING,

BUT HE NEVER SHOWED.

UM... CAN I HAVE SOME WATER?

SURE.

THANK YOU.

[man]
They can't see us.

NOBODY CAN SEE US.

YOU FORGOT THE BEER.

SO THE GUY IN THE CONVENIENCE
STORE IS RICHARD MANNHART.

HOW DID YOU
PUT THAT TOGETHER?

I WAS... CLEANING MY HOUSE

AND, UM, THE RADIO WAS ON.

AND I... HEARD THIS VOICE.

[radio announcer]
Here we are with noted mystery novelist and speaker,

Richard Mannhart.

Richard, I hear you also teach?

[Mannhart] Yes, at University extension.

[announcer]
Could we impose on you to read
from one of your novels?

How about a few lines from your best-selling mystery novel,

The Speaker?

[Mannhart]
Our hero wonders if his
political career is over.

He says, "It was as if
I was invisible.

"I knew I was at the podium,

but the audience looked at me like I was an invisible man."

[announcer]
Great.
Thank you so much.

Ladies and gentlemen,
that was Richard Mannhart,

noted mystery novelist
and speaker.

Next onMorning with Words,
we've got...

[Mannhart]
YOU'RE HERE
TO LEARN TO WRITE.

IT'S NOT ABOUT
ALL THAT OTHER CRAP.

FORGET THAT STUFF.

IT'S ABOUT WHAT'S IN HERE...

IN YOUR HEART.

NOW, LET'S SAY...

LET'S SAY THAT YOU'RE INTO A HOT
THING WITH SOMEBODY, RIGHT?

AND THEY TOSS YOU.

IT'S FINISHED.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO?

DO YOU WRITE ABOUT THE AFFAIR?

ABOUT THE BOX OF TISSUES YOU CRIED INTO?

THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE SO MAD AT HIM
THAT YOU COULD KILL HIM.

AND YOU WANT IT SO BADLY

THAT YOU'RE LIKE A TRAIN
OUT OF CONTROL,

BARRELING TOWARD... MURDER.

NOW, YOU DON'T KILL ANYBODY.

BUT YOU WANT TO, RIGHT?

SEE, OUT THERE
IN THE REAL WORLD,

YOU'RE GONNA BOTTLE ALL THAT UP.

IT'S TOO SCARY TO DEAL WITH IT.

BUT IN HERE, IN THIS ROOM,

YOU CAN DO IT ALL:

KILL,

SEDUCE...

ANYTHING GOES.

ANYTHING.

OKAY.
THAT'S IT FOR THIS WEEK.

NEXT WEEK, I WANT A MINIMUM
10-PAGE STORY

ON A PERSONAL MYSTERY.

YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT
THAT MEANS TO EACH ONE OF YOU.

THANKS A LOT.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

[keys clink]

HI.
THANK YOU.

THANKS A LOT.

IT'S YOU, ISN'T IT?

IT'S ME, WHAT?

THE VOICE...
FROM THE MINI-MART?

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME
TO THE HEARING?

ARE YOU IN MY CLASS?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

I'M KATIE GRIFFIN.

LOOK, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU LEFT ME THERE.

I THINK YOU GOT ME CONFUSED WITH
SOMEBODY ELSE, KATIE GRIFFIN.

NO. IT'S YOUR VOICE.

I KNOW IT IS.
IT'S THE SAME VOICE.

OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU
NEXT WEEK IN CLASS.

EXCUSE ME.

[siren wailing]

[phone rings]

LANSING.

UH-HUH.

MM-HMM.

OKAY.

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT
UP ON VIEW RIDGE,

RIGHT WHERE YOU SAID.

I AM SUCH A FAN,
MR. MANNHART.

GOOD. THAT'S NICE.

I HEAR YOU HAVE
A NEW BOOK COMING OUT.

SURE DO... ABOUT FOUR MONTHS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE
FOR A YOUNG WRITER?

WELL, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT
TO ERNEST HEMINGWAY,

DO YOU LIKE DEFROSTING YOUR
FRIDGE OR PRUNING YOUR ROSES?

BECAUSE AS A WRITER,
YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME...

MR. MANNHART?

I'M DETECTIVE ROLLINS;
THIS IS DETECTIVE KING.

WE'D LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU.

SURE.

WHY?

WELL, IT SEEMS YOUR WIFE
HAS BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

IS SHE DEAD?

WE DON'T KNOW, SIR.

WE ONLY KNOW
THAT IT'S BAD.

WE'LL TAKE YOU
TO THE HOSPITAL.

I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
WHICH ONE?

SIR, OUR JOB
IS TO ESCORT YOU.

COME ON.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
WHERE TO FIND ME?

YOUR MISTRESS.

MY WHAT?

KATHERINE GRIFFIN.

WHY, THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

WHAT DOES SHE HAVE
TO DO WITH THIS?

SHE'S TELLING OUR BOSS
ALL ABOUT YOU.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME.

NO ROMANCE?
NO AFFAIR?

NO FLING?

NO, SHE TOOK MY CLASS.

THAT'S IT?

HUH.

THIS WAY.

MULTI-MART ON OLYMPIC...
LAST SPRING.

MM-HMM.

OH, AND BRING A DINNER FOR TWO.

MM-HMM.

I'M NOT HUNGRY.

AH, IT'S MY TREAT.

SO THEY PICKED UP
YOUR BOYFRIEND.

FUNNY THING IS...

HE SAYS HE AIN'T YOUR BOYFRIEND.

HE PROBABLY TOLD THEM
I MADE THE WHOLE THING UP.

MM-HMM.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

[humming]

SEE?

YOU SHOULD HAVE BELIEVED ME.

WANT ME TO START OVER?

NAH.
WE'LL JUST KEEP GOING.

SO TELL ME, KATIE,
WHAT DO YOU DO?

WHAT KIND OF WORK DO YOU DO?

JUST FOR THE RECORD.

[machine clicking]

[Katie]
I CUT FILM.

I LOVE THE FEEL OF IT,

THE TEXTURE,
AND EVEN THE SMELL.

She's adapting so well now.

Finally starting to think of me as family.

HI.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

CLASS REGISTRATION FORM.

UM... CAN I GET YOU
ANYTHING?

NAH.
GO AHEAD AND WORK.

I LIKE WATCHING YOU.

[clears throat]

YOU LOOKING FOR THIS...

KATIE?

WOULD YOU SIGN THIS
FOR ME?

NOT NOW.

WHAT DO YOU DO...
ALL DAY,

ALL ALONE...
IN THE DARK?

HOW COME YOU LEFT
THE STORE THAT DAY?

I DON'T LIKE
TO GET INVOLVED.

GOT TO GO.

[women laughing]

OH, BOY.

YOU READY FOR TONIGHT?

OH, I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T GO.

I'VE HAD THESE TICKETS
FOR MONTHS.

TONIGHT'S MY LAST CLASS,
AND I CAN'T MISS IT.

YOU'RE BURNING A $75 TICKET.

THERE'S THIS GUY.

WELL, OF COURSE.
WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE TICKET?

OH, I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

I PROMISE.

I KNOW YOU WILL.

SEE? ISN'T IT
LIKE I TOLD YOU?

IT ALWAYS HAPPENS
WHEN YOU ARE NOT LOOKING.

COME ON; LET'S GO
TO THE TOP OF THE HILL.

[reading]
"IT WAS FOOLISH.

"SHE KNEW IT WAS.

"THE SAFEST BET WAS THE ONE
SHE DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT:

"TURN AND GET THE HELL
OUT OF THERE.

"BUT SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE...

"NOT FROM THE MOMENT
HE GRABBED HER FROM BEHIND,

"CLAMPED HIS HAND
OVER HER MOUTH,

AND WHISPERED IN HER EAR,
WE'RE INVISIBLE."

WOW. TERRIFIC.

[applause]

OKAY.

THAT'S IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE
TO SAY TO YOU ALL,

EXCEPT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN GREAT.

I THINK YOU'VE ALL COME
A LONG WAY,

AND IT'S BEEN
A WONDERFUL TEN WEEKS.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU

AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.

[applause]

THAT WAS EXCEPTIONAL.
THANK YOU.

[camera clicks]

HI.

SO YOU REALLY LIKED
WHAT I WROTE?

YEAH.

HOW COME
IT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

WE WERE STILL IN CLASS.

WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH THE FACT THAT
YOU'RE MARRIED, WOULD IT?

HEY,

ALL THE GOOD ONES
ARE TAKEN.

WHAT?

[reading]
"TO A SPECIAL, INCREDIBLE,
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

LOVE, RICHARD."

WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.

THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT?

TEACH ME.

WHAT?

EVERYTHING.

CLASS IS FINISHED.

YOU'RE STILL MY TEACHER.

WELL, YOU'LL GET OVER IT.

LISTEN.

I GO FROM HOME TO WORK AND BACK
WITH NOTHING IN BETWEEN.

JUST... TEACH ME.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

YES, YOU DO.

I READ IT.

I WROTE THAT
OVER TEN YEARS AGO.

SO WHAT?

I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING
IN FIVE YEARS.

WELL, WHY NOT?

RICHARD, TALK TO ME.

IT DRIED UP.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.
IT DRIED UP.

IT JUST DID.
DON'T YOU GET IT?

THAT'S WHY I DO THIS.

I JUST...

I JUST WANT
TO FEEL SOMETHING AGAIN.

LET ME HELP YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO...
IS JUST TEACH ME.

I'M SURE.

HE SAYS
HE NEVER TOUCHED YOU.

SECOND ONE?

RICHARD TEACHES A CLASS

WELL, WHY DID YOU DO THAT...
TAKE A SECOND CLASS?

BECAUSE I KNEW THAT I COULD
SEE HIM ALL THE TIME.

[Richard]
NOW, THE GREATEST WRITERS,

THEY ALWAYS WROTE
ABOUT THEIR OWN LIVES...

WHAT THEY KNOW.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY, THOMAS WOLFE,
PEOPLE LIKE THAT...

THEY USED THEIR OWN LIVES.

ANYWAY, JUST KEEP TRYING.

PERSEVERANCE, RIGHT?
DON'T GIVE UP.

I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

HI.

[Richard] YOU TAKING MY COURSE?

I WISH I COULD.

I WISH YOU WERE IN IT.

[woman] I LOVED THAT CLASS.

HOW'S THE INTERMEDIATE WRITING CLASS GOING?

[Richard] IT'S NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU.

SHH. DON'T MOVE.

DON'T SAY A THING.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU.

[heavy breathing]

RIGHT HERE.

[birds chirping]

[woman]
KATIE?

KATIE.

JUST DELIVERED.

[Richard]
"IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES;

IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES"...

ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS
SENTENCES

IN ALL
OF ENGLISH LITERATURE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I HOPE TO
HELP YOU LEARN FROM THIS CLASS

IS WHY THAT SENTENCE
IS SO POWERFUL,

WHY THAT SENTENCE IS TRULY

PERHAPS THE MOST POWERFUL
BEGINNING

OF ANY NOVEL
IN THE ENGLISH LITERATURE.

AND HOPEFULLY, LEARN
HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF.

SO LET'S GET STARTED.

[phone rings on other end]

[woman]
Hello?

Hello.

YOU OKAY?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

WHY CAN'T WE EVER GO OUT
DURING THE DAY?

I WORK.
SO DO YOU.

LISTEN.

HMM?

I HAVE AN IDEA.

LET'S GO GET SOME COFFEE
OR SOMETHING.

I CAN'T.

COME ON.
SHE'S WAITING.

IS SHE WAITING AT THE FRONT DOOR
WITH A STOPWATCH?

I SAID I'D BE HOME BY 10:00.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY
AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT?

I'LL DO... WHATEVER YOU WANT.

[giggling]

OHH.

COME ON.

OHH.

[breathing heavily]

WE'RE INVISIBLE.

WE'RE INVISIBLE.

[machine clacking]

BROWN-BAGGING TODAY?

[Katie] NOPE.

I THINK I'M GOING
TO GET SOME FRESH AIR.

[Laura]
THANK YOU.

THIS WAY, MA'AM.

ENJOY YOUR MEAL.

WELL?

THAT'S YOUR ANSWER?

OKAY.

FINE.

IS SHE A HOT LITTLE NUMBER,
RICHARD?

REALLY LIMBER, FLEXIBLE?

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT
TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS, LAURA,

YOU JUST GO RIGHT AHEAD.

OH, I WILL.

THEY'LL LOVE IT. THEY ALWAYS DO.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

I AM NOT WORTHY.

I AM NOT WORTHY.

I AM NOT WORTHY.

THAT'S BETTER.

[Richard]
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

[Laura]
REALLY?

NO GOLDEN GEMS FROM
THEMANNHART MANIFESTO?

WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS AGAIN, LAURA?

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS THINK

I USE MY CLASS
AS SOME KIND OF TALENT POOL?

BECAUSE I WAS
YOUR STUDENT, RICHARD.

I WAS IN YOUR CLASS TOO.
REMEMBER?

SO THE FIRST TIME
YOU EVER SAW LAURA MANNHART

WAS IN THAT RESTAURANT, HUH?

YEAH.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD, HUH,
TO SEE HER WITH RICHARD?

YEAH, IT WAS...

FOR BOTH OF US.

WHERE YOU BEEN, HMM?

STOP IT.

WHAT'S WRONG?

I SAW YOU TODAY...
AT A RESTAURANT.

WAS THAT YOUR WIFE?

I DON'T WANT
TO SHARE YOU ANYMORE.

I THOUGHT I COULD DO THIS,

BUT I CAN'T.

AHH, WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

WHY ARE YOU CHANGING THE RULES
ALL OF A SUDDEN?

OH, KATIE, KATIE.
LISTEN TO ME.

I'M WRITING AGAIN,
AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

YOU HEAR ME?

KATIE, COME ON.

YOU'RE THE ONLY THING
THAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ANYMORE.

KATIE...

I NEED YOU.

OH, GOD.

PLEASE?

PLEASE.

I NEED YOU.

[Richard]
PLEASE. I NEED YOU.

[knock at door]

YEAH.

THE MULTI-MART STORY
CHECKS OUT,

EXCEPT FOR THE UNIDENTIFIED
WITNESS WHO PROTECTED YOU

WHO NEVER CAME FORWARD.

I TOLD YOU THAT.

THE GUY'S WIFE...

LAURA.

YEAH, LAURA MANNHART.
SHE'S ALIVE.

SHE'S GONNA BE OKAY... I HOPE.

[machine beeping]

[Rollins] YOU WANT A LAWYER?

WHY?

WE NEED TO ASK
SOME MORE QUESTIONS,

AND YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO ONE.

[Richard]
NO, I DON'T
WANT A LAWYER.

[Rollins] ALL RIGHT.

TELL US
ABOUT KATHERINE GRIFFIN.

SHE'S THE TYPE

THAT THINKS THAT
IF YOU'RE HER INSTRUCTOR,

YOU'RE A PERMANENT
PART OF HER LIFE.

MEANING?

MEANING THAT
SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND

THAT CLASS MET ONCE A WEEK
FOR THREE HOURS

FOR TEN WEEKS,
AND THAT'S IT.

SO NOTHING HAPPENED
BETWEEN YOU AND THIS WOMAN.

THAT'S MY WIFE IN THERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LOOK, WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS
IF YOU SAW HER OUTSIDE OF CLASS.

NO.

YOU KNOW,
FOR SOMEBODY

THAT YOU ONLY SAW
ONCE A WEEK IN CLASS,

SHE SEEMS TO KNOW YOU
QUITE WELL.

TELL ME, HOW DOES IT FEEL

TO HAVE YOUR WIFE
PUT YOU ON AN ALLOWANCE?

HMM?

IT'S FROM KATHERINE, MAN.

HOW WOULD SHE KNOW THAT?

MAYBE I MENTIONED IT
IN CLASS.

YEAH, MAYBE.

[Rollins]
SHE EVER
COME ON TO YOU?

LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY.

I DON'T THINK
SHE WAS STUDYING WRITING.

I THINK SHE WAS STUDYING ME.

BUT YOU NEVER WENT
OVER TO HER PLACE.

YOU NEVER WANTED
TO CHECK HER OUT?

HOW DID SHE
COME ON TO YOU?

AT THE END
OF THE FIRST COURSE, SHE...

SHE ASKED ME
IF SHE COULD TAKE MY PICTURE,

AND I SAID SURE.

I WAS FLATTERED.

[King] THAT'S IT?

[Richard]
NO.

LAURA AND I
HAD LUNCH ONE DAY,

AND I SPOTTED KATIE
IN THE RESTAURANT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS
A COINCIDENCE, BUT...

WAS IT?

[Richard]
NO, I DON'T THINK
IT WAS.

I THINK
SHE FOLLOWED US.

SHE MADE A SCENE;

STARTED SCREAMING AT LAURA,
YOU KNOW, SAYING,

"OH, SO YOU'RE
THE ICE QUEEN.

"YOU'RE THE REASON
THAT HE CAN'T WRITE.

WHY DON'T YOU LET HIM GO,
LET HIM BE FREE?"

IT WAS WEIRD.

SO YOU DIDSEE HER
OUTSIDE OF YOUR CLASS.

YEAH, I GUESS
YOU COULD SAY THAT.

HEY, DID YOU EVER CALL YOUR WIFE
AN ICE QUEEN?

SURE; IT WAS
A JOKE BETWEEN US.

[Rollins]
IN CLASS?

UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT YOU AND
KATHERINE GRIFFIN
NEVER WENT OUT

OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT?

BRENDA... LOOK.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

YES.

HOW COME I HAVEN'T
MET HIM?
YOU WILL.

HAVE YOU SET THE DATE YET?

AS SOON AS THE DIVORCE
IS FINAL.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

OH. DO YOU MIND?

I'M ALLERGIC.

OH, OKAY.

THANKS.

SO IS RICHARD.

LAURA'S A SMOKER.

HE HATED THAT ABOUT HER.

SHE EVEN SMOKED IN THE HOUSE.

MM-HMM.

WERE YOU EVER THERE?

OH, I LOVE YOUR
BEING HERE WITH ME.

[Richard]
LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.

[Katie giggles]

RICHARD.

BYE-BYE, LAURA.

PUT ME DOWN.

STOP IT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
STOP IT.

PUT ME DOWN.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

[laughing]

THAT'S NOT FUNNY.

RICHARD, YOU READY?

[Richard]
SHH.

[Laura]
RICHARD?

I CHANGED MY MIND.

I'M NOT GOING.

WHAT?

I'M NOT GOING.

I ALREADY TOLD EVERYBODY
YOU'D BE THERE;

MAYBE SIGN SOME BOOKS.

THAT'S WHY I'M NOT GOING.

I'M TIRED OF YOU PUTTING ME
ON DISPLAY ALL THE TIME.

IT'S INSULTING.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

GET DRESSED. WE'RE LATE.

MM-HMM.

SO WHAT ABOUT THE DIVORCE?

WELL... I DIDN'T HEAR
FROM HIM FOR DAYS.

[Richard]
THAT'S IT
FOR ANOTHER WEEK.

I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

DON'T FORGET TO HAVE
THAT ASSIGNMENT.

UM, KATIE, CAN YOU HANG ON
FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE?

HEY, WHY DIDN'T YOU
CALL ME?

NOTHING'S CHANGED,
HAS IT?

YOU'RE STILL LIVING
WITH HER.

OH, COME ON.

YOU DON'T WANT TO NAG ME
BEFORE WE EVEN
GET MARRIED, DO YOU?

HMM?

THERE YOU GO.
GOOD GIRL.

COME HERE.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NO, COME ON.

RICHARD.

AW, COME ON.
DO THIS FOR ME, HMM?

NOT HERE. RICHARD.

RICHARD, STOP IT.
STOP IT!

[door slams]

[suspenseful music]

[alarm chirps off]

[alarm chirps on]

I DIDN'T GIVE YOU
PERMISSION TO READ THAT.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE
HOW YOUR WORK WAS COMING.

HOW FAR DID YOU GET?

FAR ENOUGH.

SURE WAS REAL.

YOU SEE? I TOLD YOU
YOU WERE GOOD FOR ME.

YOU'RE THE ONLY REASON
I CAN DO THIS, YOU KNOW.

THEN WHY ARE YOU
STILL WITH HER?

THESE THINGS TAKE TIME.

HOW MUCH TIME?

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THAT IT WAS FINISHED.

WELL, IT'S NOT
QUITE FINISHED.

WHAT'S LEFT?

THE MONEY.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S GOT
ALL THE MONEY.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOOKS?

DOES SHE EVEN KNOW ABOUT US?

YOU JERK.

[phone rings]

[Katie on answering machine]
We're not here right now,
so please leave a message.

[Richard on answering machine]
Sorry about
the other night, Katie.

Listen, I finally told her.

In fact, she wants the divorce.

Quickly, as soon as possible.

So set the date.

[hangs up]

[giggling]

SO I'M FINALLY GOING
TO MEET MR. WONDERFUL.

YUP.

HE'S GOING TO BE HERE
IN ABOUT AN HOUR,

AND WE'RE GONNA GO LOOK
AT A COUPLE WEDDING CHAPELS.

OH, MY.

I JUST... I DON'T GET IT.

LET'S JUST CALL HIS HOUSE.

[phone rings]

HELLO.

WHY AREN'T YOU HERE?

Who is this?

WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS?

IT'S KATIE.

WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
WHAT HAPPENED?

OUR WEDDING PLANS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

Doing what?

KATIE, LOOK.
YOU ARE MY STUDENT.

I'LL SEE YOU IN CLASS.
ALL RIGHT?

HE'S NOT COMING.

[crying]

WHY DO YOU THINK
HE PUT YOU THROUGH THAT?

I WISH I KNEW.

[remembering]
DOES SHE EVEN KNOW ABOUT US?

[Richard]
MONEY.
SHE'S GOT ALL THE MONEY.

[humming]

[Rollins] AND THAT WAS APRIL 12th, RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

RICHARD,
CONVENIENCE STORE CLERK

KILLED A WANNA-BE BAD GUY
APRIL 12th OF LAST YEAR.

YOU GOT ANY KNOWLEDGE
OF THAT?

NO.

LISTEN, YOU GUYS.
I TOLD YOU.

KATIE WAS JUST MY STUDENT.

SHE WAS A WALLFLOWER,

A BACK-OF-THE-ROOM TYPE.

SHE BARELY SAID A WORD.

UNTIL THE LETTERS STARTED.

YEAH, TELL US
ABOUT THE LETTERS AGAIN.

SHE WROTE ME
A LOT OF LONG LETTERS.

HOW LONG?

10, 12 PAGES.

AND WHAT DID THEY SAY?

SHE SAID THAT SHE THOUGHT

THERE WAS SOME KIND OF
SPECIAL BOND BETWEEN US,

SOME MYSTICAL CONNECTION.

DID YOU KEEP
ANY OF THEM?

NO. WOULD YOU?

ANYTHING ELSE, RICHARD?

WELL, THERE WAS THE TIME

THAT I FOUND HER GOING THROUGH
MY BRIEFCASE AFTER CLASS.

HOW DID SHE GET THAT?

[Richard] I LEFT IT IN THE ROOM.

[King] WHAT WAS IN IT?

JUST SOME WORK,
MY APPOINTMENT BOOK...

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING I NEEDED
DAY-TO-DAY.

THEN IT WAS AFTER THAT
THAT THE PHONE CALLS STARTED.

WHERE DID SHE
CALL YOU?

AT HOME.

WAS LAURA THERE?

YEAH, LAURA WAS THERE.

WHAT KIND OF CALLS?

OH, WEIRD, CRAZY STUFF,
YOU KNOW.

ONE NIGHT SHE CALLED ME UP,
SCREAMING AT ME

BECAUSE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
OVER AT HER PLACE

TALKING ABOUT
OUR WEDDING PLANS.

[Rollins] THIS KIND OF THING HAPPEN TO YOU A LOT, RICHARD?

[monitors beeping]

WELL, STUDENTS GET INFATUATED
WITH THEIR TEACHERS.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS
AT FIRST, YOU KNOW...

JUST A HARMLESS CRUSH.

I TRIED TO LAUGH IT OFF.

I'LL BET
LAURA WASN'T LAUGHING.

NO, EVEN SHE COULDN'T HELP
BUT WONDER ABOUT IT.

YOUR WIFE SUSPICIOUS
OF AN AFFAIR?

NO. SHE WASN'T.

WELL, YOU JUST SAID
SHE QUESTIONED THE SITUATION.

THE TRUTH
WAS HARD TO BELIEVE.

[King]
WELL, WHAT IS THE TRUTH,
MR. MANNHART?

THE TRUTH IS THAT KATIE
WAS JUST MY STUDENT.

BUT LAURA WASN'T SO SURE
ABOUT THAT, WAS SHE?

YOU AND LAURA EVER FIGHT

ABOUT ANY OF THIS?

WE HAD... DISAGREEMENTS.

HOW BAD?

WELL, LAURA'S...
LAURA'S THE JEALOUS TYPE,

SO THIS KATIE THING
DIDN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER.

[Rollins]
YOU AND YOUR WIFE
EVER TALK DIVORCE?

[King]
DID YOU?

[woman]
I'M VERY SORRY.

YOUR WIFE PASSED AWAY
A FEW MINUTES AGO.

[sighs]

[phone rings]

YEAH.

RIGHT.

MM-HMM.

OKAY.

RIGHT.

LAURA MANNHART DIED.

NOW HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYBODY.

FEEL SORRY FOR HIM?

WHAT ABOUT LAURA?

OF COURSE
I FEEL SORRY FOR LAURA.

STILL LOVE HIM, DON'T YOU?

YOU KNOW,
I'M JUST WONDERING,

WHY DIDN'T YOU BREAK IT OFF,
END IT ONCE AND FOR ALL?

WHAT WAS I
SUPPOSED TO DO?

HE KEPT CALLING AND CALLING.

HE WOULDN'T GO AWAY.

NO, SWEETHEART.
I DON'T THINK YOU DO.

YOU FINISHED THE BOOK.

MM-HMM.
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

I WANT YOU TO READ IT.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

I NEED YOU TO HELP ME.

PLEASE?

WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING.

PLEASE.

I MET WITH HIM.

WHY?

TO FINISH IT.

DID YOU?

WHAT HAPPENED?

WE TALKED.
I READ HIS BOOK.

HE WANTS ME TO HELP HIM
GET RID OF LAURA.

THAT'S INSANE.

GO TO THE POLICE.

HE DOESN'T MEAN IT.

WHAT IF HE DOES?

NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

IF YOU DON'T

I AM. YOU.

SO?

IT WAS PRETTY SCARY STUFF.

LIKE WHAT?

YOUR AFFAIR.

KATIE, I NEED YOU

THEY'LL FIND OUT

NO, THEY WON'T, HONEY.

YOU'RE JUST MY STUDENT.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT MEANS THAT IF YOU TELL
ANYONE ABOUT THIS,

THE LETTERS.

[steady beep]

I'M SORRY, BABY.

I'M SORRY, SWEETHEART.

SO, UM...
THIS YOUR FIRST MARRIAGE?

MY THIRD.

NO KIDDING.

HOW LONG?

FIVE YEARS.

FIVE GREAT YEARS.

NOT LIKE THE OTHERS, HUH?

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
KEEPS GOING WRONG?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOUR BATTING AVERAGE
IS NOT TOO GOOD, MAN.

MAYBE NOT,
BUT I LOVE HER.

YEAH, TOO BAD
SHE CAN'T VERIFY THAT.

MAYBE THIS WAS A LITTLE EASIER

THAN DIVIDING UP
ALL THAT COMMUNITY PROPERTY.

YOU GO TO HELL!

TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?

WHY ARE YOU SO SORRY?

WHAT ARE YOU SO SORRY ABOUT?

BECAUSE I DIDN'T PROTECT HER!

[King]
AS IF THERE WAS ANY DANGER.

I NEED MORE.

COME ON, KATIE.

I NEED MORE EVIDENCE...

SOMETHING THAT PROVES
THE TWO OF YOU WERE TOGETHER.

LIKE WHAT?

ANYTHING.

HOW ABOUT
SOMETHING HE TOLD YOU?

COME ON, KATIE.

YOU WERE HIS LOVER.

HE TOLD YOU
HIS SECRETS, RIGHT?

YES.

WELL, TELL ME ONE.

THEY COULDN'T HAVE CHILDREN.

WHY NOT?

LAURA HAD EARLY MENOPAUSE,

AND HE THOUGHT
MAYBE WITH ME, YOU KNOW?

GOOD. GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD.

I NEED MORE.

[car door closes]

SO CUTE.

HUH?

YES.

DARLING.

HELLO, LAURA.

I'M SORRY.

DO I KNOW YOU?

OH, FROM THE SIDEWALK
BY THE BABY SHOP.

HOW DID YOU KNOW
MY NAME?

I'VE BEEN HAVING AN AFFAIR
WITH YOUR HUSBAND.

I'M KATIE GRIFFIN,

ONE OF RICHARD'S STUDENTS.

YOU'VE CALLED AT THE HOUSE,
HAVEN'T YOU?

YOU HAVE
TO LEAVE RICHARD.

I THOUGHT MAYBE WE WERE HEADED
IN THAT DIRECTION.

I'M SERIOUS.

THIS IS
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

OH, YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS
FOR MY OWN GOOD.

YES.

RICHARD IS PLANNING
TO HURT YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR CONCERN,

BUT I'M AFRAID

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TERMINATE
THIS DELIGHTFUL DISCUSSION.

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM HIM.

YOU KNOW, RICHARD'S
TOLD ME ALL ABOUT YOU.

I CAN SEE HE WAS RIGHT.

[phone ringing]

HELLO.

IT'S RICHARD MANNHART.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

I HAD TO WARN HER.

How dare you say those things

TO MY WIFE?

THIS HAS GONE FAR ENOUGH.

YOU ARE NEVER
TO TALK TO HER AGAIN

OR DISTURB US IN ANY WAY.

IS THAT CLEAR?

DO YOU HEAR ME?

YES.

PROMISE ME THAT
THIS IS THE END OF IT.

OKAY, LET'S SEE.

UM, WHAT ELSE?

WHAT ELSE?

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT
PAPER FINISHED BY NEXT WEEK,

BECAUSE WE'VE GOT, UM...

ONE SESSION LEFT, I THINK,

OR TWO SESSIONS,
I GUESS IT IS.

WHATEVER IT IS,

JUST GET IT DONE
BY NEXT WEEK, OKAY?

I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
LET'S GO.

RICHARD.

WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

CAN WE TALK?

KATIE, HAVEN'T YOU
DONE ENOUGH?

I THOUGHT
I MADE IT CLEAR TO YOU

THAT I DO NOT WANT YOU BOTHERING
ME OR MY WIFE EVER AGAIN.

WHAT?

NOW, YOU'RE
MY STUDENT, KATIE.

THAT'S IT.

STOP THIS INSANE OBSESSION.

IT WAS JUST LIKE IT WAS
IN HIS MANUSCRIPT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER COME
TO THE POLICE BEFORE?

I TOLD YOU.

TELL ME AGAIN.

WHY WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME
WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD?

IS THERE
ANYBODY AT ALL,

ANYBODY WHO CAN VERIFY
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TELLING ME?

I DON'T...

I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON.

BRENDA.

MY FRIEND BRENDA.

BRENDA SLAGEL.

NAME AND ADDRESS?

YEAH.

ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER.

YEAH.

BRENDA... BRENDA SLAGEL.

SHE CAN... SHE CAN VERIFY IT.

OKAY.

[pencil scratching]

I'M SORRY, SIR;
NECESSARY PAPERS.

YOU EVER REALLY THINK
IT WOULD COME TO THIS?

YOU GOT ANY REGRETS,
RICHARD?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, THERE'S
ALWAYS REGRETS.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
ANY KIDS, RIGHT?

YOUR WIFE
HAD A PROBLEM?

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?

KATIE TOLD
DETECTIVE LANSING.

HOW WOULD SHE
KNOW THAT?

YOU DIDN'T MENTION THAT
IN CLASS, DID YOU?

NO.

EXCUSE ME?

NO, I DIDN'T.

THEN HOW DID SHE KNOW?

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE FOUND OUT.

SHE'S GOT A CRYSTAL BALL.

SHE'S A WITCH.

HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW?

[gasps]

RICHARD?

RICHARD?

[Richard]
IT'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.

RELAX.

NOBODY CAN SEE US.

WE'RE INVISIBLE.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, MAN, IT LOOKS LIKE
WE HEAD ON BACK TO THE STATION.

RICHARD, THINGS MIGHT
BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT

WHEN WE GET
BACK THERE.

WE GOT KATIE GRIFFIN'S
STATEMENT,

AND THEY'RE PROBABLY
GOING TO WANT TO
PUT YOU IN CUSTODY

BEFORE THEY DO
ANYTHING ELSE.

YOU MEAN ARREST ME?

[Rollins]
YUP.

NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME
FOR YOU TO TRY TO REMEMBER

ANYTHING
THAT YOU'VE FORGOTTEN.

THERE'S NOTHING.

LOOK, MAN.
YOU'RE WHIPPED, HUH?

I'M WHIPPED.

YOUR NEW BOOK,
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

IT'S A MURDER MYSTERY
ABOUT A MAN WHO KILLS HIS WIFE.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WRITE:
MYSTERIES.

KIND OF LIKE
WHAT KATIE SAID YOU DID.

NO. IT'S FICTION.

OH, YEAH?

YOU THINK I'D ACTUALLY
PUT IN A BOOK

SOMETHING I DID
OR WAS GOING TO DO?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF AT ALL
TO VERIFY YOUR STORY?

HOW CAN I PROVE SOMETHING
THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN?

COME ON;
THINK, RICHARD.

OHH, I DON'T KNOW.

MY... MY CLASS.

I, UM, I YELLED AT HER
IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS...

TOLD HER
THAT SHE WAS CRAZY.

YOU ASK THEM ABOUT IT.

OKAY.

NOW, ABOUT
OTHER AFFAIRS.

THIS WASN'T AN AFFAIR.

THIS WAS AN ABERRATION,
A DELUSION.

WELL, THIS SORT OF DELUSION
EVER HAPPEN TO YOU BEFORE,
PROFESSOR?

GOOD-LOOKING MAN
LIKE YOU, SPEAKS WELL.

BET THEY'RE
THROWING THEMSELVES
AT YOU ALL THE TIME.

COULDN'T BE THE REASON
YOU'RE ON WIFE
NUMBER THREE, COULD IT?

NO.

IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE,
HASN'T IT?

IF YOU LIE TO US
NOW, RICHARD,

IT WILL NOT
LOOK GOOD.

I'M NOT LYING.

IT'S EASY TO CHECK.

NOW, IT'S HAPPENED
BEFORE, HASN'T IT?

IT'S ONE OF THE PERKS
OF THE JOB.

NO.

DON'T BE
STUPID, MAN.

THIS IS STUPID.

LOOK.

IT'S NO BIG DEAL,

BUT IT IS
IF YOU LIE ABOUT IT.

THEY KNEW I WAS MARRIED.

IT WAS NEVER A BIG DEAL.

BUT THIS KATIE THING...

THIS KATIE THING
IS NOT ONE OF THEM,

I SWEAR TO YOU.

WAS LAURA A STUDENT?

WERE YOU ON WIFE NUMBER TWO
WHEN SHE TOOK YOUR CLASS?

I MAY HAVE BEEN A LITTLE HASTY
IN REJECTING COUNSEL.

[Lansing]
YOU WENT TO BRENDA,

WENT TO LAURA,

BUT YOU NEVER
CAME TO US.

I KNEW
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME.

BRENDA DID.

YOU REALIZE
HOW BAD THIS LOOKS?

I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GOING
TO GO THROUGH WITH IT.

THEN WHY DID YOU
GO TO LAURA?

I REALIZE THAT WAS WRONG.

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO US?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE...

MAYBE YOU WERE HOPING

HE'D DO IT.

NO.

NO.

ONE OF OUR MEN
TALKED TO BRENDA.

AND?

SHE VERIFIES YOUR STORY.

YOU SEE?

THERE'S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.

SHE NEVER SAW YOU
WITH RICHARD.

I NEVER SAID SHE DID.

NO ONE CAN CORROBORATE
YOUR STATEMENT.

HE WANTED IT TO BE THAT WAY
SO NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE ME.

I NEED MORE, KATIE.

HE TOLD YOU HE WOULD KILL HER.

WHAT ELSE DID HE SAY?

NOTHING.
THAT'S ALL I KNEW.

I KNEW WHEN HE WAS GOING
TO DO IT, AND THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.
