Original subtitles

All right, at the top of the hour

this is Shock Jock Jacques

with another episode of "Confess Your Crime."

It's time for all you scumbags out there

to clear your conscience for another week

until ya fuck up again.

Father Jacques will hear your confessions now.

The lines are open.

Who is our first brave soul?

All right, on line one we have Kelly from Newark.

What'd ya do, Kelly?

I shoplift all the time.

Oh, is this Winona Ryder?

What?

Winona, when are you gonna start making good movies again?

I mean seriously, I need 'em.

My name is not Winona, it's Kelly.

It was an attempt at humor, Kelly,

but thank you for your call.

Who else we got?

All right, let's see.

On line two, we have Anthony from Queens.

What'd ya do, Anthony?

Whoa, I can't believe I actually made it on!

All right, check this out, guys.

I masturbated on a public bus.

You mean, in the bathroom stall?

No, no, no, I mean like, right in my seat.

Like, I used my coat as a cover

and, like, the girl next to me was asleep, so...

Dear God, Anthony, I feel like there is another show

that you should be calling right now.

Wait, wait, wait, Anthony, Anthony,

I don't know why, I have to ask you this right now

or I'm gonna die of morbid curiosity.

What's that?

Oh, I don't wanna do this.

How old was the girl you were sitting next to?

I mean, I think she was 15 or 16...

- Okay! - Oh, and that is the end

of that conversation.

Thank you for calling in, Pee Wee.

Who else we got?

All right, let's see, okay, line three,

we have Dean from Brooklyn.

What'd ya do, Dean?

Ya there, Dean?

Dean?

Yeah, yeah, this is Dean.

I'm already intrigued.

You gonna confess your crime, Dean?

The suspense is killing us.

I met a girl at a club one night.

She came back to my house with me

and we started to have sex.

I wanna cut you off Dean,

but I just can't bring myself to hit the button.

I don't think...

What happened next?

Well, things went fine at first,

but then things started to get a little rough.

She didn't like that very much.

She wanted to leave.

Then what?

Well, as you could imagine,

I was pretty upset.

I started to hit her.

You beat her up?

Yeah, I...

No, no, I, I don't think she made it.

Dean,

did you kill her?

I don't know, I...

Yeah, yeah I did.

I know I did.

How long ago was this, Dean?

I dunno, maybe, I dunno, about five years ago.

Dean, Dean, have you told anyone else about this?

No, no, look, I really gotta go.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Goodbye.

Uh, Dean...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, that just happened.

What are you doing?

Did you notice that

we passed Janice's store on Woodlawn today?

We passed many stores on Woodlawn.

The clothing store.

And?

That was where you bought the white for me, from Janice.

And?

Do I need to spell it out for you?

I want you to buy the white dress for me again.

I don't think so.

Why not?

I don't think it's a good idea.

So you're not gonna do it?

I'm saying that

we don't need to spend the money right now.

So we're broke?

No, we're not broke, we're actually doing very well,

But it's not exactly a necessary purchase, now is it?

I think it is.

I'm hungry.

Yeah.

You know what you're getting?

Not yet.

Yeah, well, pick fast, I wanna make this a quick bite.

I don't want it to be a quick bite.

I want a nice, relaxing lunch.

Okay, we can have a relaxing quick bite.

Okay, why don't you just pick for me?

Is there something wrong?

Is there something you'd like to tell me?

Come on, tell me.

I thought I saw him again,

like the last time we were out here.

And?

And I thought I saw him.

Okay, what did he look like?

What do you mean what did he look like?

He looked...

You know what he looks like.

Yeah, but he'd have to be much older now,

his mid-60s, probably.

He looked exactly the same.

So he hasn't aged at all?

He looked the same.

Did he see you? Did he say anything?

No.

Anything else?

He was wearing the same suit.

Why?

What do you mean why?

Why would he be wearing the suit?

I don't know why he would be wearing the suit,

but he was wearing the suit.

What, he was just taking a stroll

through town wearing a suit?

What, did he just get out of a wedding or something?

Can I come in?

Christine, Christine, wake up, wake up.

It's okay. It's okay.

You were just having a bad dream.

Just a bad dream, sweetheart, that's all.

I'm here.

Oh God. Oh God, Christine, what did you do?

Christine, sweetheart, what'd you do?

Christine, sweetheart, what'd you do?

Christine? Christine?

Good morning.

I'm just gonna take your blood pressure.

Thank you. Just lift your arm for me.

Perfect. 120 over 67.

And then just your pulse.

Beautiful, 75.

Call me if you need anything.

She's awake, you can go see her now.

Tom...

Edie and I are here for you.

Anything you need, don't hesitate to ask.

Has she given any indication

that she might do something like this

over the last few days?

You know, Tom, for the longest time

I hoped she wouldn't turn out like her mother.

Now I realize she is her mother's daughter.

Dylan, you're not gonna like what I'm gonna say next,

but, I think it's something that needs to be said.

I think it's time you looked into finding

some sort of facility that you can send her to,

just for a little while...

Dylan...

Dylan...

Hello?

Dylan, hi, how are you?

Janice, hi. Um...

Janice, look, do you remember about five years ago,

I asked you to make a dress for me?

Oh, yes, I remember, the one your mother wore.

Yes, well, it turns out,

Christine seems to have misplaced it.

Could you possibly make another one for me?

Let me see if I still have the pattern, okay?

Okay.

And I do. I can make it for you.

Oh, great.

And I'll call you when it's done.

Well, thank you so much, you have a good day now.

Thank you, you too.

- All right, bye. - Bye, Dylan.

Can I help you?

Hi, I'm here to see Michael Hampton and Tyler Hull.

They said they would see me.

Sure, what's your name?

Rich Holstein.

There's a Rich Holstein here to see you. Great.

He'll be right down.

Okay. I'll just wait.

So my studio manager has been giving me

a lot of heat the last couple days,

because you have been calling him nonstop about our show.

Mike, my fiancee went missing five years ago.

This happens all the time.

We get a couple of college students.

They're staying up late, they're drinkin',

one thing leads to another,

and they call in our radio station,

acting like they're some murderer.

They're just trying to scare people.

I mean, that's what they did with you.

I mean, they got you to believe

that they murdered your fiancee.

- What was her name? - Sarah.

Sarah. They made you think that they killed Sarah.

That's all it is, a couple of shithead kids.

- It's a hoax. - I know it was him.

Okay? I'm positive it was him.

I just need some help because I know she's alive.

Have you gone to the police with this?

No, no, no, I didn't go to the police,

that's why I'm here.

Maybe there's a way that you guys could triangulate the call, or...

Look, I've gotta be on in 10.

Whenever you get a chance,

Zach wants to see you in his office.

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

Take a seat, how are ya, Rich?

I hate it when you say it like that.

Why?

Because it makes me feel like

I should be lying on a couch.

Well, I'm sorry if you're offended

by my concern for your well-being.

I understand you've taken a leave of absence.

You understand correctly.

How long do you intend for this leave of absence to be?

Two weeks.

You sure that's how long it's gonna be, Rich?

What are you trying to say?

Did I fuck up, I mean, the reports or something?

'Cause if not, I'd like to finish my Friday in peace.

Yeah, well, it's not your work performance.

It's you we're worried about.

Zach, have you ever thought that

this is something that I need to do for me?

You can call me an insensitive prick if you want to,

but maybe I thought that you could work it out here,

and work it out at home, do both.

Goodbye, Zach.

Rich...

Rich, if you walk out of here,

I'm not sure there's gonna be anything here

for you when you come back.

- Goodbye, Zach. - Rich...

I think the guy who called in

may have really done something unsavory.

You know that wasn't a fucking hoax, hmm?

Look, in the '70s, a guy called a radio station

posing to be the Zodiac killer.

Yes, and the call was traced to an insane asylum.

Nevertheless, ever since then,

the police required that every radio station

have some sort of tracking device on the sound board

in case Ted Bundy or Osama bin Laden calls in.

Did you get an address?

He wasn't on long enough.

Mike and I tried to keep him on the phone, you know,

but, he hung up before we could get an exact location.

We were, however, able to pinpoint the call

to one general area.

Do the police know about this?

No monsters in the closet, remember?

This is honestly all I can give you.

Good luck.

I just came back to pick up

a couple of things that I missed.

I'm sorry.

About the other night, I apologize.

Waiting for you to stumble in wasted

at 2 o'clock every morning, Rich,

is just not something I can handle anymore.

I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Can we just forget about it?

I told you not to listen to the radio station, I...

Didn't I tell you it would fuck with your head?

What do you want me to do?

Do you want me to pretend I never heard his voice,

- because that was him, - Rich, Rich, Rich...

and you don't believe me.

You don't believe me,

- is that it? - Rich, when is it gonna end?

I don't know.

It has nothing to do with us,

it's just these dreams that keep...

- Always with the dreams, Rich. - Yes.

- Why don't you come inside? - No.

Did you ever think if you just allowed yourself to be happy

then maybe the dreams would go away?

Do what you need to do.

Just... Just find a way to finish this, okay?

Recess!

- You look... - Like shit?

Like crap?

Are we not allowed to say that either?

Just wait till you drop the F-bomb,

then you can worry.

Did that actually happen?

It's hard to control what you say

when you drop a textbook on your toe.

Ouch.

So what'd you do for their silence, bribe them with candy?

Luckily, only a couple of them heard me

and they both like me, so...

Some of them like you?

Yeah, can you believe it?

I can't.

So how's...

- Peter? - Peter, yeah.

How is he?

He's, good.

Good, good.

Oh, God.

Yeah, go.

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Come on. Come on, let's go to the office.

Remember, the subject is what is doing the action

in the sentence.

The actual action is the predicate,

that is what the subject is doing.

The object of the action is called the direct object,

it is receiving what the subject is doing, okay?

Circle the direct object.

Come on, Lisa. You can do this.

No, I can't.

Why not?

Because I'm stupid.

You are not stupid.

I don't wanna hear you say that.

You are not stupid.

Who says that you're stupid?

My daddy.

Well, I'm sure your daddy doesn't mean it.

Can I go home with you, Mr. Beaufort?

No, you can't go home with me.

You gotta go home with your mommy and daddy.

I don't wanna go home.

How come you don't wanna go home?

I just don't.

You're still here?

So are you.

I told him I was gonna see my sister

in the city for the weekend.

I left an hour ago.

So why don't you ever eat in the teacher's lounge?

Bunch of 40-somethings laughing over

which of their kids are gonna wind up in jail first,

it gets kinda depressing after a while.

Besides, I guess I like comfortable silences.

I can see that.

What do ya mean?

I mean, this whole setup you got here.

It's kinda perfect for that.

Yeah, I guess.

So why'd you wanna be a teacher?

Why, is there something else I should be doing?

I dunno. Something bigger.

Something that makes a lot of money.

Something that makes more than what we get.

You know, I came from money.

And I bet they remind you of that every day.

Actually, my father walked out on me when I was two.

And my mother committed suicide my senior year in college.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

Fortunately, I had a trust fund to fall back on.

I was an only child.

Got my master's.

Found this old place.

After everything that happened,

the simple life seemed like the most attractive one.

Simple lives aren't always happy ones.

Wait...

What?

I wanna watch you undress.

There's a white dress in the bathroom.

I saw it in a store window a few weeks ago,

and I thought you'd look amazing in it.

I want you to go into the bathroom, put the dress on,

and then come out here and strip out of it for me.

Okay.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah!

Sarah!

Thank you.

- Good luck, Christine. - Bye.

Did you buy the dress?

I did a bit more than that.

Do you think I'm lying?

Mr. Holstein...

Okay, I just need you to listen to this.

Okay? I need you to listen to this recording.

It's a guy that lives around here.

Mr. Holstein...

Please, would you just listen to this?

Look, this is a nice, clean-cut town.

What exactly are you expecting to find here?

I just need you to listen to this. Please.

Please.

If I get a minute, I'll let you know.

Thank you.

Hello?

Yeah?

What do ya want?

You need some work done or...?

No, I...

My sister, she has this golden retriever,

she has a red tag,

I don't know if you saw her around the area...

- You think I took your dog? - No, I'm not saying that.

Maybe you just saw it around the area...

Get the fuck off my property.

No, I mean like, actually in my seat.

Like, I used a coat as a cover,

and there's a girl sleeping next to me, so...

Oh, dear God, Anthony,

I feel like there is another show

that you should be calling right now.

Hey, Anthony, Anthony,

I gotta ask you a question

or I'm gonna die of just curiosity here on this one.

Um, how old was the girl you were sitting next to?

Hmm. I think she was about like 15 or...

Whoa, and that is the end of that conversation.

Thanks for calling in, Pee Wee.

- Who else we got? - All right, let's see.

Line three, we have Dean from Brooklyn.

What'd ya do, Dean?

You there, Dean?

Dean?

Oh, Dean, hello?

Yeah, this is Dean.

Oh, I'm already intrigued.

You gonna confess your crime, Dean?

The suspense is killing us.

I met a girl at a club one night.

Okay, now you've definitely got our attention.

She came back to my house with me,

and we started to have sex.

Okay, I don't think...

I wanna cut you off Dean,

but I just can't bring myself to hit the button.

What happened next?

Well, things went fine at first,

but then things started to get a little rough.

She didn't like that very much.

She wanted to leave.

Then what?

Well, as you can imagine, I was pretty upset. I...

I started to hit her.

You beat her up?

Yeah, I...

No, I... I don't... I don't think she made it.

Dean, did you kill her?

I... I dunno, I...

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

I know I did.

How long ago was this, Dean?

I dunno, maybe, I dunno, about five years ago.

Dean, have you told anyone else about this?

No, no, look, I really gotta go.

I'm sorry. Goodbye.

Hey...

Can I just ask you one thing?

What makes you so sure that

this is gonna work this time around?

Doesn't really matter, does it?

Chocolate chip pancakes?

Sure.

Stay in this room.

- What? - Don't come out.

Tom! How are you?

It's good to see you, Dylan.

It's good to see you, too.

Um, can we talk for a bit?

Could we talk out here?

- Yeah, sure, sure. - Okay.

You get smaller every time I see you.

What's Edie been feeding you?

A lot of the green stuff.

Um, I got something to ask you.

Okay.

Where's, uh...

Oh, she's upstairs sleeping.

Make sure she gets plenty of that.

I will.

And make sure she gets plenty of fresh air.

Yeah.

You're both gonna get through this.

You would know.

I would.

Um...

How are ya?

I'm doin'.

You're a strong man, Dylan.

I've known you since you were just a little boy.

I remember driving by your mother's house

and seeing you sitting on the porch eating ice cream.

I'd wave and you'd wave back.

When I think of all the things you've been through...

Tom, you're creeping the hell out of me right now.

Whatever this is, out with it.

It's, it's idiotic.

Tom...

All right, look.

Fella came to the station,

real crazy-lookin' fella came to the station.

I'm sure you got a lot

of crazy-looking fellas coming to the station.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, apparently, there's this cockamamie radio station

in New York City where people can call in

and confess what crimes they've done.

And, this crazy-lookin' fella's got a recording

of somebody confessing to taking a girl home

and raping and murdering her.

The crazy fella thinks it's his fiancee

who disappeared five years ago.

And?

And, the voice on the recording,

well, I'd be less than honest

if I didn't say it sounded like you.

What are you saying, Tom?

I don't know.

Tom, haven't I suffered enough?

Haven't you seen me suffer enough?

For you to come over here, and even suggest

that I could be capable of doing something like that.

What's wrong with you?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

I don't suppose the voice on the recording sounded

anything like you after all.

At my age, I can hardly hear anything anymore.

I'm sorry, Dylan. I'm really sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

I don't want you to give this another moment's thought.

I won't, and I don't want you to, either.

I won't.

Well, I guess I better go on.

Got a lot more crazy-lookin' fellas to deal with.

Ones not accusing me of murder, I hope?

No, I think we've had enough of that for one day.

Tom?

You and Edie enjoy that blueberry pie I baked for you?

We ate every crumb.

Dean, did you kill her?

I dunno, I...

Yeah, Yeah, I did.

I know I did.

How long ago was this, Dean?

I dunno, maybe, I dunno, about five years ago.

Dean, Dean,

um, have you told anyone else about this?

No, no, look, I really gotta go.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Goodbye.

Dean...

Who are you?

I'm Rich.

You didn't knock.

The door was open.

I thought that you were him

and if I didn't answer you would go away.

No, no, don't turn on the freaking light!

If you turn the light on, he's gonna know that we're here!

You can't turn the light on, he's gonna see us.

There's no one outside.

Yes there is.

I know, I know that there's somebody outside.

Can you sit next to me, please?

Just... sit next to me?

Is it okay?

You're alone?

- Yes. - Okay.

All right, maybe we should go to the cops right now.

No, we can't go right now.

We'll do it when it's light outside.

We can go when it's light outside,

we can't go when it's dark.

- We should... - No, please,

just stay with me.

No, stay with me until it's light outside, please!

Okay, okay.

Just wait with me.

Will you wait with me?

Just hold me, please.

Okay.

The light...

It's all right. Hey...

The light needs to be on.

He can feel us in the dark.

He knows the dark, the light...

You said it needed to be off.

No, but he knows the dark, he can find us,

I can feel that he's out there.

Do you wanna fuck me?

What's wrong, do you not think I'm pretty?

No, you're beautiful.

So do you wanna fuck me?

Yes, yes.

He used to hold me like this when I had nightmares,

and then they'd go away.

And then he stopped holding me and they came back.

Do you have bad dreams?

Yes.

What's the worst one?

I put a necklace on this girl...

in front of a mirror.

That doesn't sound like a bad dream.

The last day I saw Sarah,

I put a necklace on her, in front of a mirror.

That was five years ago,

and the dreams just don't stop.

Maybe if you had the necklace

the bad dreams would go away.

Yes, yes.

Maybe you'll find the necklace

and the bad dreams will go away then.

I don't wanna dream this.

I don't wanna dream this anymore.

Will you help me?

Will you help me?

Please?

Please?

My name is Dylan Beaufort.

I'm the man you're looking for.

Where's Christine?

She went back to the house.

You used her to lure me?

Yes.

Why didn't you kill me?

Because the game's changed now.

In what way?

I think I know how I can make your bad dreams go away.

But here is not the time or the place to tell you.

I'll give you till the morning,

and then I'll be waiting for you outside.

I think it would be better if I drove.

Did I not already say that if I wanted to kill you

I would have done it already?

I'm here to help you.

Do you know the story of "Hansel and Gretel?"

What?

The Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel,"

do you know it?

Yes.

Well, in the version that I know, the one that I prefer,

while Hansel and Gretel are trapped in the witch's house,

the father back home realizes he's made a terrible mistake.

He tries to go back into the woods to get them,

the mother stops him.

He kills her, goes back into the woods,

finds Hansel and Gretel, and he brings them home.

Let's start with a man and a woman

who don't teach their daughter love,

but do teach her that no one can be trusted.

That daughter grows up to be a woman incapable of love,

who drives away the father of her two children,

a son and a daughter,

a woman incapable of letting anyone into her heart.

And when there was no man to satisfy

the needs that all woman have,

turned to her two children for them.

The both of you?

Some nights it was me.

Other nights it was Christine.

I guess we felt at the time

that it was our responsibility, like a chore, almost.

I guess that's how kids think in situations like that.

Yeah.

How long did that go on for?

Really wasn't the kind of thing we kept track of.

Minutes turn into centuries in times like that.

But it did stop for a while when he came.

We're off in a little while, guys.

We don't have to be there for another hour.

Your mom wants us to be early.

And we're gonna meet her there.

It's good to see one person excited

for one of mother's socialite freak shows.

It's a charity event and it means a lot to her,

so let's try to put on a good face, all right?

What's her problem?

I told her there'd be dancing at this event.

So what's the big deal?

She doesn't know how to slow dance.

Shut up, Dylan.

You said we have another hour before we have to go, right?

Yeah.

I think this gives us enough time.

Christine Beaufort, may I have this dance?

Okay, we're gonna start with a simple step-touch motion.

Step-touch, step-touch, step-touch.

Come on, do it with me.

Just glide, glide with me.

Step-touch, step-touch, step-touch.

That's it. Now, give me your hand.

Like that, and just back-and-forth,

step-touch, step-touch...

We played Greg and Marsha Brady for him,

so he would never suspect anything.

I took him aside one night and I told him everything.

He was gone the next morning.

No note, no phone call, he didn't even pack.

A son and a daughter left with a mother

who couldn't deal with it a second time.

A mother who took her own way out with a razor

and a tub full of water.

Bleeding out in a bathtub

is a relatively painless way to die.

She never got the execution that she deserved.

It was at that moment that I realized

I had to give Christine the execution she never got.

Everything was planned down to the last detail.

Nothing could be overlooked.

The suit he wore, the dress she wore,

the razor she used, the song...

I was about to leave when I saw her.

We had some drinks, we talked about you,

and then I asked her to come back to my place with me.

She came willingly.

The rest was clockwork.

If it's any consolation at all,

I made it as quick as I could.

Why'd you call the radio station?

Oh, who knows?

Maybe it was the last lingering thread of guilt left in me

or the perverse idea of being able to tell everyone

and no one at the same time.

Or maybe I called so that you'd listen.

It was meant to be for me to run into Sarah that night,

just as it's meant to be that

you and I are in this car together now.

You know, for a while I wondered why

it didn't work the first time.

At first I thought it was because Sarah was too young.

But now I realize

it never should have been me holding the razor.

An actor can't be an actor

and a spectator at the same time.

I need to sit next to Christine and hold her hand

while someone else holds the razor.

We have the evil mother, now we need the good father.

Christ...

How do I know you still have the necklace?

Silver pearl, steel chain, diamond shavings.

I was gonna give it to Christine on her wedding day.

I know, go figure, right?

Why is it so important to you?

Because he was the good father.

He was the one who was supposed to come

and take us out of the woods.
