(female narrator)
Previously on "Cold Case."

Lil, I'd like you to meet
a friend of mine, Diane Yates.

Agent Yates, FBI.

Shaver enters
the shooting lane..

We have a serial killer.
Last one was 27 years ago.

Your father's a suspect in
a series of unsolved shootings.

Here come the FBI
storm troopers.

[both gasp]

- 'Anything?'
- William Shepard.

What the hell?

[gunshot]

[Townes Van Zandt
singing "Snake Song"]

Keep it steady.

'Don't think.
Just trust your hands.'

'There you go.'

♪ I get lonely.. ♪

'That's it.'

That's a decent Adams.

[chuckles]

See if you catch
any fish with it first

before you go
celebrating too much.

I mean, that's
the problem in life. Pride.

People think
they can't help it.

But man has a choice.

And that's where he's different

from an animal.

That's right.

It's from "East Of Eden."

Only showed it 20 times.

Yeah.

At the drive-in.

Well, I guess you're right,
but it doesn't make it

any less true, take it from me.

They got a "Dirty Harry"
double bill playing in town.

Maybe we could go.

Sure.

'We'll see.'

Hey.

Why don't you go
grab us some firewood.

[instrumental music]

'Paul.'

You're a good kid.

[music continues]

[rattling]

♪ Try to find me ♪

♪ Skin I been through ♪

♪ Dies behind me ♪♪

[gunshot]

Dad?

[intense music]

Dad?

'Dad?'

[Paul screams]
'Dad!'

[indistinct chattering on radio]

We have no sign of the shooter
from the post office

but we found his van abandoned
at an old campground.

Well, cause of death
looks like a single bullet.

Exit wound through
the top of the skull.

- Suicide.
- Bill Shepard.

Killed four people,
then himself back in 1983.

We got a different take, John.

Yates?

You got me, G-man.

You're suspended pending an OPR.

That coming from you or HQ?

Even if I wanted to protect you

I couldn't once
those shots were fired.

And you're about a hundred
miles out of your jurisdiction.

And you'd be about 500 miles

away from this
cabin without her.

No thanks to you
playing keep-away.

Well, such a crack investigator

figured you'd
find it on your own.

Always this
insubordinate, lieutenant?

Not to me.
Can we get on with this?

- Absolutely.
- Yates.

Ryan, when you're done
putting 'em on the table

come and see what we've got.

So, ME estimates Bill Shepard

offed himself
about 30 years ago.

But all that time
someone's been paying

property tax on this cabin
using a local checking account.

Even after Shepard died,
paid up every year.

So, there's checks from
the late '70s, early '80s.

Signatures are different.

They changed somewhere
around the fall of 1978.

From this to this.

Bill Shepard dropped off

the face of the Earth in 1978

but our first body
dropped in 1980.

So, Shepard was dead
before the first murders?

Means someone else
did the killing.

Yeah. Bill's son, Paul Shepard.

Yeah, the bag from
his video store.

Half-empty box of
.25-06 cartridges.

Same as our sniper's ammo.

Paul claimed that
his father ran off

but he's been coming up here.

Makes him what, 16, when
the first murder occurred?

Awful young for a serial killer.

Old enough to pull a trigger.

[cell phone ringing]

Scotty, tell me you
found Paul Shepard.

No, but I sure as hell
know where he's been.

[theme music]

[siren wailing]

[indistinct chattering]

(Scotty)
'Theodore Kutler.'

'Twenty six-year-old
grad student.'

Took a bullet coming out of his

apartment couple hours ago.

Witnesses?

Well, several people
heard the shot and..

...one witness saw a muzzle
flash from that building.

There was a shell
casing found on the roof.

Getting sloppy.

He's on a spree.

I'll take that.

Last I heard, Ninth and Cherry
was still Philadelphia proper.

Well, if you want to get that
evidence processed this year

'we're gonna have
to send it to my lab.'

Unless, of course,
you don't trust me.

Scotty, work the scene, huh?

Not looking for
a jurisdiction war.

It's only a matter of time
before the media finds out

we have an active serial
killer on a rampage.

Well, what do you propose?

Joint task force.
Your guys and mine.

Hey, look, no one's
up to speed like Rush.

- She runs point on this.
- Fair enough.

But we prosecute.

Yates too.

- It's her case.
- No deal.

Yates has already
booked a one-way ticket

to the Anchorage field office.

Cavanaugh. Change of plans.

Rush and I have field
command with your oversight.

According to who?

Well, you, actually.

Just got off
the phone with the SAC.

Let him know your
plans to pursue the case

and he signed off.

Even you don't have
the balls, Yates.

Well, call him yourself,
Ryan, if you don't believe me.

Of course you're gonna have
to explain how I went off

the reservation for a week,
opened this case solo

while you sat in your
corner office clueless.

Don't pout, Ryan.
It causes frown lines.

Bad news is she likes you.

Or maybe she just
cares about the job.

You've known her,
what, three days?

Yates talks a good game...
but she's reckless.

Being told that before our
victim was a grad student

he was the manager at
the Long View Video Store.

That was Paul Shepard's place.

(Kat)
'Anything different
about Paul lately?'

He seem aggravated, depressed?

No. No more than usual.

You-you guys need,
like, a warrant

to be here?
'Cause I'm in charge.

(Will)
'When was the last
time you saw Paul?'

Uh, yesterday?

No, no. Day before.

Uh, no. Thursday.
It was, it was Thursday.

What are you
doing on that thing?

Oh, totally Tweeting all this.

[clangs]

- Dude.
- Hey, Brian, focus.

Tell us about your
relationship with Paul.

Alright, uh, Theo was
the manager, Paul was the owner.

Little more detail. Like why
Theo didn't work here anymore.

He quit? Get fired?

Oh, oh, d-definitely fired.

[Death Cab For Cutie
singing "Pity And Fear"]

[sighs]
What the hell happened, Theo?

- We were robbed.
- Yeah, I can see that.

They wrecked the place.

Windows aren't broken.

The locks are untouched.

The alarm didn't go off.

You see where I'm
going with this, Theo?

I was kind of out
of it last night.

My girlfriend and I
were fighting, and..

'...I went over there.'

- 'Might have neglected to..'
- You might have neglected?

♪ Next to me ♪

Do you understand
what this means, Theo?

The insurance won't pay
if the alarm wasn't on.

♪ Mistake mistake ♪

Maybe I could chip in.

It's-it's not just the money.

I mean, look at this stuff.
It's-it's-it's irreplaceable.

I mean, do you,
do you have any idea

how long it took me
to fix this place up?

'Huh?'

[sighs]

You know what?

Just-just get
the hell out of here!

[thud]

[instrumental music]

Yeah, those repairs
cost, like, a ton.

Paul had to close
the other stores

just to make up the difference.

You know, it's not like the
vid biz is a growth industry.

We're gonna need
access to your safe.

Any financials you have here.

Alright, in the office.

U-um, I-I got..

...tardiness issues.

You think Paul's
gunning for me too?

You might want to
stop Tweeting about it.

[indistinct chattering]

Where is your husband
right now, Mrs. Shepard?

I don't know.

When was the last
time you saw him?

Uh, yesterday morning.

Is that normal?

'Disappearing for
a day and a half?'

What's going on?

We're just looking
to talk to Paul.

If it was just to talk,
then the FBI wouldn't be here.

Well, that's right,
Mrs. Shepard.

The fact is, we
think your husband

may have been
involved in a shooting.

- He own a rifle you know of?
- You think he shot someone?

Claire, I understand how
difficult this is for you

'but Paul's out
there right now..'

'...and no matter what
he did or didn't do'

the best thing for everyone..

...is to bring him back safely.

He's, uh..

...he's been under
a lot of pressure lately..

...with the video stores.

There a place that he goes
to when he's feeling stressed

or under pressure
other than the cabin?

What cabin?

The cabin your husband
owns in Mount Pocono.

Which is where we found this.

That's Bill Shepard,
Paul's father.

His father? Uh--

He ever talk about him?

Oh, my God.

He ever tell you
how his father died?

No.

I found out on my own.

♪ It's a bad man's world ♪

♪ It's a bad man's world ♪

♪ It's a bad man's world ♪

♪ It's a bad man's world ♪

♪ It's a bad man's world.. ♪

(Paul)
What the hell are you doing?

I'm sorry. I, I was
just looking for stamps.

You told me your father
walked out on you.

This is a suicide note.

What's the difference?

Gone is gone.

How did it happen?

He shot himself.

Nothing I could do.

You?

Paul...you were
the one who found him?

You should have just asked
me for the damn stamps.

I'm sorry.

That must have been so hard.

It's something I
will never do to you.

You understand me?

I will never leave you.

Or the family we're making.

Well, what if we
can't make a family?

♪ It's a bad man's world.. ♪

We've been trying
for two years.

Then we keep trying.

- It's so expensive.
- Oh, come on.

You let me worry
about that, okay?

[Paul chuckles]

♪ I'm a bad bad girl ♪

♪ It's a bad man's world ♪♪

He never liked to
talk about his family.

That part of him
was...closed off.

You really have no idea
who your husband is, do you?

(Lilly)
'"I can't do this anymore.'

'"I am nothing.'

"Less than nothing.

"This world is full
of people willing

"to kick you when you're
down, like the secretary

"too blind to realize
she works for thieves.

"Like the repo men, devoid
of common human decency.

'"Like the judgmental
bus driver'

"who offered nothing but pity.

"And finally, to my son Paul..

"...I'm sorry, but I'm too
weak to take you with me.

'"I tried to make
something special'

but nobody seems to care.
Nobody ever will."

Suicide note written
by Bill Shepard in 1978.

We believe his son
Paul used this note

as a blueprint for revenge.

Barry Jensen, Felicity Andrews,
Preston Schmall, Fred Norris..

...killed between 1980 and '83.

Mel Shaver,
Walt Granville, Theo Kutler

cut down within
the last five months.

He's not haphazard.

Not in it for the thrill.
Shepard has an objective.

'There was a pattern
to his first killings.'

Well, figure out
the pattern today

maybe we catch him
before he kills again.

We were able to remotely
clone Paul Shepard's cell phone.

Anything he hears
or says, we pick it up.

Got this five minutes ago.

(Paul on speaker)
'Hey, it's Paul.'

'I was, uh, hoping,
you guys were around.'

'I wanted to drop by.'

'Tonight's lasagna
night, right?'

[sighs]
'A-anyway, I-I'll
try again later.'

Number belongs to
Charles and Rita Gleason

of Morristown, New Jersey.

Shepard's aunt
and uncle raised him

after his father died.

(Ryan)
Turned his phone off after that.

But we were able
to pick up a GPS signal.

[beeping]

'Right outside
the Gleasons' house.'

There's no sign of Paul Shepard.

Aunt and uncle
were at a neighbor's.

Came back, their
car was missing.

He took their car?

So, how'd he get here?

[intense music]

We're clear.

[music continues]

(John)
'What do you got?'

ID on that dead truck
driver. Ned Cotner.

Reported missing last night.

Up near Paul Shepard's cabin.

(John)
'Shepard must
have carjacked him.'

Left the truck
and the body at his

aunt and uncle's place,
took their car.

We may have a line
on the next victim.

Now, most of Paul Shepard's
original victims

were mentioned in his
father's suicide note.

Bill Shepard killed
himself when he was 45.

Paul Shepard turned 45
in October last year.

Well, children of
suicides dread reaching

the age of their parent's death.

Paul got revenge
on the people he

blamed for his father's failure.

Well, now, he's getting
revenge on the people

he blames for his own.

Felicity Andrews,
killed in 1981.

'She neglected to
file loan paperwork.'

Bill Shepard
blamed her for losing

his drive-in when he defaulted.

Theo Kutler forgot to lock up

Paul's video store,
resulting in a break-in.

The loss crippled his business.

Then there's Preston Schmall
repo man, shot in '82.

Took his dad's car, disabling
his ability to go to work.

According to witnesses,
Paul's father begged Schmall

to give him another week.

Even suggesting they
shared a brotherhood..

'...both former marines.'

Been looking through
Paul's correspondence.

Found a dozen letters from
his accountant, Kenneth Hoag.

"Paul, you have to face facts.
The IRS will not go away.

I won't be able to stop
them from taking your store."

You think this accountant
is a matchup for the repo man?

Guy's not just
Paul's accountant.

They went to college together.

Fraternity brothers.

Well, let's pick him up
before Paul picks him off.

Is Paul in some kind of danger?

He may be, Mrs. Gleason.

That's why we need your help.

Any idea why he came here?

H-he's my nephew.

I practically raised him.

He doesn't need a reason.

When's the last
time you saw him?

Uh, not since Thanksgiving.

Did something happen
on Thanksgiving?

What does that have to do
with a dead body out there?

Just trying to find your nephew.

Well, nothing happened
at Thanksgiving.

Obviously, I-I-I don't
know where Paul is.

Clearly, you don't either.

Has Paul had any
trouble recently?

Paul doesn't get in trouble.

Don't you find it strange
that he took your car

and he left a truck
with a corpse in it?

You're suggesting he had

something to do
with the dead body?

Yup, that's what I'm suggesting.

That's ridiculous.

You said that you
practically raised him.

How did he end up living here?

Oh, my sister Martha died
when he was very young.

And then his father left.

We were all he had.
Poor boy.

You don't know what he was
like when he first came here.

(Rita)
'Paul.'

Paul.

Darling, are you alright?

It's "East Of Eden,"
Aunt Rita.

James Dean, Raymond Massey.

Directed by Elia Kazan.

[chuckles]
You've seen it before?

Dozens of times.

My dad showed it every year.

That's nice, dear,
but you're not eating.

You must be hungry.

You don't have to
wait to be served.

You're family.
One of us, okay?

[intense music on TV]

He was so forlorn.

A glass half-empty kind
of kid for a long time.

- But he adapted?
- He was a good student.

Got a job after school,
volunteered at the church.

And you weren't
curious where he'd

disappear to all
those weekends?

He went camping a lot.

No. No, not camping.

No, see, while you were
here baking pies, Aunt Rita

he was out there
dropping bodies.

- Yates, Yates--
- You think Paul killed someone?

Ma'am, we just
want to talk to him.

- 'So, if you could tell us--'
- H-he couldn't even hurt a fly.

Felicity Andrews.
Preston Schmall, Fred Norris.

'Barry Jensen, and that's
just on your watch.'

- It's a lie.
- No, it's not a lie.

'You look at Barry.
You see that blood?'

Now you tell me who's
living the lie, sister.

Yates.

Mr. Hoag, I'm
Lieutenant Stillman.

We need to talk
about Paul Shepard.

Yeah, I'll tell you what
I told your detective.

I don't discuss my clients.

I understand,
but this is urgent.

I don't care if it's
a matter of national security.

I won't talk without my lawyer.

And don't try to scare
me with some federal BS.

'I eat the IRS for breakfast.'

Sir, we believe Paul Shepard
is a serial killer

'and you're his next target.'

But if you want to take your
chances out there, be my guest.

Must have been hard...
having Paul move in with you.

This 14-year-old stranger
comes to your house.

You got your own
son to consider.

Oh, we made do.

Smooth sailing
from the word go?

Well, between you and me,
the kid was always half queer.

Rita's blood...not mine.

- Queer how?
- Huh, never into sports.

Not a lot of friends. He'd, uh,
sit and watch movies on the TV.

Disappear for days.

Sounds sketchy.

Well, he outgrew it, though.

He, uh..

...turned his obsession
with movies into a living.

And he always looked
out for my son Tom.

They were tight...
for a long time.

They were tight?

Always said you don't
do business with family.

[indistinct chattering on TV]

I've had some
setbacks, Tom.

Cash flow.
You know how it is.

You said that last
month, month before.

So, I want to
know when, Paul.

Shh.

I have partners,
and they won't wait anymore.

So, what?

You're gonna kick me out?

It's me, Tom.

I used to baby-sit you, take
you to the movies. We're family.

I-I got my own family
to consider, Paul.

Rosie's pregnant.

Oh.

Again?

Hey.

It's good news, right?

Yeah. Uh, of course.

I'm sorry. Congratulations.

'I'll, um..'

...I'll find another
way out of this.

I'm sorry, Paul.
Yeah. I know you will.

You still own that
first store of yours.

Got to be worth something.

I don't know
what hurt him worse.

Losing the stores or..

...finding out Tom
was having another kid.

You know where your son is now?

Oh, he was supposed to come by
this afternoon, Sunday dinner.

Uh, he should be here now.

Excuse us.

(Ryan)
'Thank you.'

[intense music]

[knocking on door]

(Kat)
'Tom Gleason.'

'Philadelphia Police.'

[knocking on door]

'We're coming in, Mr. Gleason.'

[thud]

[indistinct chattering on TV]

[intense music]

[indistinct chattering on TV]

[beeping]

We're going to have to go.

Well, is that about Paul?

'Did you find him?'

We'll be in touch.

[sighs]

You'll look out for him, right?

I don't want to
see him get hurt.

Yeah, we'll take care of him..

...just like he
took care of Barry

just like he took
care of your son too.

Tom?

What do you mean?
What happened?

Sweet Paul just put
a bullet between his eyes.

[crying]
No.

What the hell
was that about?

- Oh..
- You'll be alright.

- Come on. Let's go inside.
- Come on.

Who's Barry?

- One of our victims.
- No.

He's more than that.

Oh, you're so freaking smart?

Well, you call him Barry.

All the others you
call by their last names.

You keep calling him Barry.
Like you know him.

I don't need to explain myself.

Yeah, well, I'm
done unless you do.

I'm not going down
on your sinking ship

till you tell me
what's going on.

Look, I was there.

I was 18 years old.

His body just
fell into my lap.

[gunshot]

[Yates screaming]

Oh, my God! Ah!

One day you're a kid
at the movies and..

And then you're not.

It still keeps me up at night.

I mean, why?

- Why Barry?
- Well, why not me?

Why not anybody
else there that night?

And now he's killing again.

And I am so close.

I'm going to find out
why he murdered Barry..

...and then I'm gonna
put a bullet in him.

(Scotty)
'Paul Shepard's out there, okay'

'with a high-powered rifle'

waiting for us to release you.

Hoag's either too stupid to
talk or he's hiding something.

(Scotty)
'Now, you won't cooperate,
we can't keep you.'

He's a dead man walking,
don't even know it.

If I'm so important, you
won't let me out of your sight.

So, why protect him?

Huh, some...fraternal code,
secret handshake crap?

I'm just going to
wait for my attorney

if it's all the same with you.

Well, it's your funeral, pal.

Come on. Let's go.

Sit down, Kenneth.

Ryan Cavanaugh, FBI.

I understand you're
reluctant to cooperate.

Protecting your client.

I respect that, but I'm not here

to talk about Paul Shepard.

I'm here to talk about you.

I know everything
about you, Kenneth.

Took me no more than an hour
to download your entire life.

You don't scare me.

'Those Web sites you frequent?'

You're one sick pup, Kenny.

And then there's the hooker
in Atlantic City five years ago.

'Used your company credit card.'

Not to mention the inside
trading in the '90s.

- That's illegal.
- 'Maybe.'

But when your wife
and your clients find out..

...who's really going to care?

(Scotty)
Tell us about
Paul Shepard and we'll..

...keep this to ourselves.

Absolutely.

We went to school together

like, a hundred years ago, okay?

I've been trying to
dig him out of a hole.

He'd been hemorrhaging cash,
he didn't file his tax returns.

Problems with the IRS?

I told him declare bankruptcy

but he said he was
starting a family

and he didn't want
to lose his house.

So, you tried
to help him out.

I felt bad for the guy.

Hooked him up with
an associate of mine..

...someone interested
in buying the store.

A guy named Mel Shaver.

[The National
singing "Start A War"]

You know, when I was a kid,
movies were everything.

More than entertainment.
They were...like an escape.

I wanted to share that vision,
and that's The Long View.

For 15 years we've
been the premier

video store in Philadelphia.

I'd like to think that we're

more than just a business.

We're a beacon for
the community, a refuge.

I can see it's working great.

Yeah, it's been a rough year.

But we've seen
tough times before.

We've always bounced back.

People love movies.

There's nothing you
offer I can't get better

and cheaper on the Web.

Bottom line, I want the space

and I'll take the inventory
and sell it off.

You know, you're wrong
about my business.

People want
face-to-face interaction.

They appreciate what we do.

Paul, you seem like a nice
guy, but let's be honest.

Nobody cares about that crap.

♪ I'll get funny again.. ♪

Not anymore.

♪ Walk away now ♪

♪ And you're
gonna start a war ♪♪

Now, he said, "Nobody cares?"

(Kenneth)
'Yeah.'

I thought it was kind of harsh.

You don't hit
a guy when he's down.

That's the same words
Bill Shepard's

suicide note ended with.

Why he shot Mel Shaver.
Echoing Paul's father.

Paul ever talk to Shaver again?

Why don't you ask Shaver?

Well, he's a little
dead right now.

- Yeah.
- Paul needed to sell.

He didn't have a choice.
Bled the business dry.

'He was writing checks
20 grand at a time.'

Company called LifeSpring.

You know what that was?

Fertility clinic.

'He couldn't afford
the treatments.'

'So, he used company money.'

Look, Paul was ducking me

when it got bad, okay?

I had to track him down
at this coffee place.

He would sit there all
day at this computer.

- Coffee joint got a name?
- Alfonso's.

'It's just up the block
from his video store.'

He..

Manager says Paul was
a fixture at Alfonso's.

He was there this morning.

A public computer, a perfect
place to profile his victims.

Alright, let's see what we got.

Looks like he
cleared the browser.

(Ryan)
'Cleared, maybe. Erased, no.'

Credit report, background check,
and a Facebook page for..

'"...Juanita Renaldo."'

(Lilly)
'His next victim?'

According to Facebook

she works
at LifeSpring Fertility.

- You got a number for her?
- Yeah.

[phone beeping]

Juanita Renaldo?

My name's Detective Rush,
Philadelphia Police.

I need to know where she is now.

- 'Map and train schedule.'
- 'Today?'

Okay, thank you.

Juanita Renaldo
has been out of town.

Yoga retreat. Comes back today.

On a train into
30th Street Station.

[indistinct announcement on PA]

[indistinct chattering]

There she is.

(Yates)
'We've got her.
Bring the van around.'

Juanita Renaldo.

We need you to
come with us now.

- What's going on?
- We don't have time to explain.

- We got to move.
- I don't understand.

[gunshot]

You understand now?

[all screaming]

[intense music]

He's heading to the subway.

I got him.

Cavanaugh.

[grunts]

[panting]
You move a muscle..

...I'll blow your
freakin' head off.

[sighs]

(Juanita)
I don't get it.

Who'd want to kill me?

You recognize the name
Claire Shepard?

She's been a patient at
the clinic for a couple years.

Her husband Paul.

Oh, God, this guy?

Did something
happen between you?

I was just trying to help him.

I'm sorry. This is declined too.

Well, i-i-it must be
some sort of mistake.

I'm sure it is.

Well, could you maybe
try, uh, splitting it

across a couple of these?

I-I can't do that, sir.

Please, y-you
have to help me.

My wife and I have been
coming here for months.

We've tried and tried.

Don't turn us away.

Dr. Shandir sponsors
these experimental trials.

It's an option if you
can't afford the cycle.

I can afford it.

I've been affording it.
It just hasn't worked!

Please, don't raise
your voice to me.

'I'm just trying to help.'

Is there a problem, Paul?

(Paul)
'No, no, no, sweetheart.'

There's no problem.

Right?

Sir, just take
the card and go home.

Come on, sweetie.

A lot of people come
through that clinic.

It was sad.

Guy really wanted a child.

What about
the experimental trial?

Supposed to start last month.

He calls up
and cancels just before.

I told him he couldn't
get back in the program

if he changed his mind.

Did he threaten you?

No.

Just said it didn't matter.

Nobody cared anyway.

So Juanita was supposed
to be target number four

just like Fred Norris
who pitied his father.

But he failed.

Juanita's in protective custody.

So, what's his next move?

Take himself out,
just like dad.

What's Bill say to
his son in that note?

"To my son Paul..

...I'm sorry I'm too
weak to take you with me."

I keep thinking
about what Claire said

that Paul would
never leave her behind.

All he ever wanted
was a family.

He was willing to
give up his business

if it meant having a child.

But he cancels his appointments
at the...fertility clinic.

- "Nobody cares."
- Yeah, he's done.

He's gonna take himself out
and take Claire with him.

- No answer at Claire's house.
- Agent's not responding either.

Paul's already there.

[dogs barking]

[intense music]

Officer down. Shots fired.

[indistinct whispering]

[indistinct whispering]

(woman on TV)
'I think you can
understand me, though.'

'I think behind
your eyes you're..'

'...you're just
as alert as ever..'

They're going to say
things that aren't fair.

Blow them out of proportion.

But you know me.
You've always known me.

[Dave Matthews Band
singing "Crash Into Me"]

So, uh, why do you
want to work here?

The hours are long.
We don't pay very well.

The boss is a stickler.

[chuckles]
I like movies.

Who doesn't?

I get lost in movies.

It's like...dreaming
while you're awake.

I don't know. I just
wanted to be closer to it.

I get that.

♪ Your heart I'll beat again.. ♪

"East Of Eden."

Oh, yeah.

- Y-you like it?
- Yeah.

Not bad for a melodrama.

[chuckles]
Well, it's a little
more than a melodrama.

That's debatable.

[laughs]
Not really.

I mean, it's Steinbeck.

Oh.

Okay, smart man.

Convince me.

♪ Oh when you come crash ♪

♪ Into me ♪♪

What you said about the movies,
about living in a dream..

...that's how you've made
me feel all these years.

- Paul, please..
- Shh.

(woman on TV)
'Excuse me, Mr. Trask..'

This part's great.

(woman on TV)
'...daring to speak
to you this way, but..'

(Paul and woman on TV)
...it's awful not to be loved.

(Paul and woman on TV)
It's the worst thing
in the world.

It makes you mean
and violent and cruel.

(woman on TV)
'And that's the way Cal has
always felt all his life.'

We're in the middle
of something here.

Put the gun down.

You know that's
not going to happen.

How you doing, Claire?

You hanging in there?

Yeah.

(Yates)
'You hear that, Paul?'

You're terrifying your wife.

Why don't you be a good
husband and let her go?

- It'll be over soon.
- 'Is that the master plan?'

Eat a bullet,
just like your father?

My father built something

and it was ripped
from his hands.

I just tried to correct
the mistakes of the past.

- Murdering all those people--
- Tying up his loose ends.

Balancing the books.
But it didn't matter.

(Lilly)
'Your father's not
a touchstone, Paul.'

He was bad in business,
and he blamed everyone else.

'He could have tried again.'

He could have made
an effort, for his son.

You think I don't know that?

The man shot himself
30 yards from me.

You see his note?

It said, "Nobody cares."

But I cared.

Why couldn't he see that?

Like...like I
didn't even matter.

I mean, every
step of the way

I just tried to build
something that would last.

He had the drive-in,
so you got

the video stores
to prove him wrong.

- But it ends the same.
- Easy, now, Paul.

Forty five years old, and I'm
every inch the failure he was.

You're wrong.

You've got something he never
had. You've got a real family.

You've got a beautiful wife

'sitting there
right next to you.'

You've got a child.

Juanita from
the fertility clinic..

'...that's what she told us.'

Claire here is pregnant.

- How?
- 'Experimental treatments.'

You canceled the appointment..

Claire went anyway.

Claire?

I...I..

...I just really
wanted to make you happy.

You should have told me.

I was waiting until
I knew it was for sure.

[instrumental music]

(Paul)
"Man has a choice, and it's..

...the choice is
what makes him a man."

(Yates)
'That's right.'

[gasps]

Alright. Sending Claire up!

[hurried footsteps]

[grunts]

- He's secure.
- I don't care.

What are you doing?

I want to know why.

Why did Barry Jensen
have to die?

[scoffs]
Why do you care?

I'm the one who was with him.

Oh, yeah.

I remember you.

Your phone number, right?

Well, if you didn't
care about that guy

before I shot him,
why do you care now?

We were kids.
He didn't deserve it.

Now, I want an answer. why?

Take it from me.

- Answers...they're overrated.
- I want an answer!

Diane, don't do this.
He's not worth it.

Don't you get high
and mighty with me.

Roles reversed,
you'd do the same.

What do you prove
by shooting him?

He's got nothing to lose.

Except my child, right?

Nothing to lose
except my unborn chi..

Claire isn't pregnant.

It's a lie.
Go ahead. Shoot me.

You pull that trigger
and you're doing him a favor.

- That's all you'll accomplish.
- 'Shoot.'

I've waited 30 years to find out

why that kid died in my lap.

Now, you're going to tell me
and in exchange for that..

...I'm going to give
you what you want.

End your miserable life.
Is that a deal?

- Diane, we are not--
- This is happening, detective!

Whether you like it or not.

- I had to prove him wrong!
- Barry?

My father.

Said he was nothing when
he died. Less than nothing.

But to me, he was everything.

Barry didn't know your father.

He wasn't paying
attention to the movie.

Just wanted to get
inside your pants.

Would have been
fine any other day.

[instrumental music]

But they were playing
"East Of Eden" that night.

And your boyfriend...
just didn't get it.

Man, I'm telling you,
she's good to go.

I got the peach schnapps,
couple ludes.

- Tonight's the night.
- Excuse me!

Just need a small popcorn.

Easy, little man.

Anyway, she's waiting for me.

Come on. Movie's
about to start.

Dude, so what?

It's "East Of Eden."
It's a classic.

Yeah, if you say so.

They've played it every year

since this theater opened.

Kid, look around you.

No one's here to see the movie.

[screaming]

If you wanna movie,
go to the cineplex.

Nobody here cares.

Nobody cares.
