LOUD SPEAKER:
Attention, subway patrons.

The last westbound train

will leave this station
in 45 minutes.

The last westbound train
leaves in 45 minutes.

Come on, Johnny-O. Hurry.

You can do it, man.

Wow.

Uh-huh, uh-huh?

Hey, let's see it.

Does it work?
Yeah?

(cans clattering)

Yeah! All right.
Perfect.

You're a genius.
Thank you.
Whoo!

(playing slow jazz)

A 20.

Hey, man, thanks.

(groans)

LOUDSPEAKER:
Attention, subway patrons.

We have a delay of traffic
southbound from the Central Line

due to a disabled train.

Regular service
will resume shortly.

Thank you.

(laughing)

(sudden silence)

Wonderful! We get two
blocks from the store

and the car breaks down.

Hey!
Serves me
right.

It's not your
fault it broke.

Sure it is. I'm the
one who let you drive.

What?! Wait a second.
You're not blaming me?

All I know is that every
time I'm behind the wheel,

it runs fine.
Every time I...

You are... You!

I drive better on my
worst day than you do.

Look, all I know is
that we have to get

the Chalice of
Sakmar by 5:00.

You got money
for a cab?

I think it's time
to take the subway.

(ticking)

Sweetheart, I'm home!

Oh, there you are.

(laughing)

Daddy brought you
some more goodies.

What the hell are
you doing with this?

Uh! Uh, nothing, Henry.
I was just...

Keep your hands off this,
do you understand?!

This was a present
from my father!

I'm sorry, Daddy.

I didn't know.

Daddy's tempted to...

give you a little
spanking... princess.

Can I have my presents first?

Please, Daddy.

(indulgent chuckle)

If you promise to be good.

A letter opener.

Solid platinum.

Ohh...

I even had your
name engraved--

Mrs. Henry Wilkerson.

Mmm.

You said "presents."

What else did you buy me?

(chuckling)

I hope you like
the color.

Oh...

Oh!

(Henry chuckles)

Oh, Henry!

Oh.
(laughing)

Oh, it's beautiful.

You just keep giving
Daddy what he likes.

You are the most generous
man I have ever met.

I feel so guilty.

How can you afford
to give me all those gifts?

Don't concern yourself
with how I can afford it.

Just don't forget how
lucky you are to have me.

Go on.

Say it!

Say it for Daddy.

I'm the luckiest
little girl in the world.

Eric. Eric,
we've got to stop.

You gotta listen
to me for a minute.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Murder
and magic watches.

I know. We've been
through this before, baby.

Now, come on.

I followed him.

I saw him kill that guy.

Reatha, you keep
talking like this,

someone's gonna check
you into a rubber room.

I'm not crazy!

I saw it!

Now I can leave him.

If you leave him,
we wind up with zip!

You're not
going anywhere!

Now, shut up.

I will not shut up!

That watch can give us
everything we wanted.

Okay. I-I don't need
this aggravation.

You know, the cops came
by for another chat.

They said they're gonna send me
up for, uh... real estate fraud.

I thought they didn't
have any evidence.

They do if the
old lady recovers.

Eric, it's not your fault
if she had a stroke.

No, I just cheated the
old lady out of her house.

Now, my stinking lawyer wants
another... another installment,

and... I don't
even have the rent

for this rat
hole I live in.

Did you... did you
pawn the, uh... stuff

the old man gave you?

Yeah.

Maybe it'll all work out...

and... maybe she'll
just... die.

This is not
nearly enough.

You're gonna have to
do much, much better

or I'm gonna do
five to ten. Hey.

Hey!

Take my advice.

Don't leave your
sugar daddy just yet.

Keep those presents
coming in.

Don't blame me for how
long this is taking.

This wouldn't even have
happened if you hadn't...

If I hadn't what?

All right, all
right, all right.

The car broke down
all by itself.

Okay, so how far
away's the train?

No, don't worry
about it man.

We got about another
two minutes. Come on.

Okay. The whole
platform. No slips.

My last buck against a buck
from each of you guys.

All right.
All right.
Come on!

Yeah!
It's easy money, man!

Okay.
Okay.
This'll be fun.

(shouting encouragement)

Come on!

(clapping, cheering)

Look at that.

Go! Go! All right!
Good one!

Aren't those tracks
electrified?!

No, just the third rail,
but if she falls, she's dead.

50 seconds.

Yeah! Yeah!

Hey, don't!

(shrieks)

Take this.
What are you doing?

I gotta get
her out of there.

Come on, get up!

Hurry!

20 seconds.

(laughing)

You're supposed to wait
on the platform, man.

(train horn blaring)

Hurry!

Are you all right?

Hey! Hey, hey! You could've
gotten us both killed!

Hey. I didn't hear
anybody ask you for help.

Did you guys
hear anything?

ALL:
No!

(laughing)

Come on.
Damn!

(Johnny-O laughing)

Life is just
wonderful, you know.

(laughing)

Did you think
I was hurt?

Yeah.

Did you?
Mm-hmm.

Oh, it was
so excellent!

It was so good.

Man, did you see
the look on his face?

What? We must've taken about
ten, 20 years off of him.

Oh, it was the best
buck I ever lost.

(laughing)

Almost makes up for
having to dine at the Ritz.

Mmm. Come on.

I'm getting tired.
Come on, let's go.

Sleep's for wimps.

What do you do,
you're going to sleep?

Yeah.
Okay, go. I'm
gonna stay here

and see what I
can hustle up.

Okay. That's mine.

Ow!
What?

(both laughing)

Henry!

Reatha?

What the hell are
you doing here?

REATHA:
I followed you, Henry.

I have a right to know

where my husband goes in
the middle of the night.

That's none of
your business!

Now, you get on home!

This isn't the first time

I've followed you, Henry,

I saw you kill that
guy in the alley.

I saw you use
the watch.

I only did it
for you, princess.

Oh, I know that, Daddy.

I won't tell a soul.

Come on, let
me see it.

Mmm...

It's beautiful.

You have to take care
of somebody, right,

and then be
in the subway?

The Castle Hill station

at exactly 1:00 a.m. and
time will stand still.

Our little secret,

Henry. I promise.
(chuckling)

(cries out)

? ?

? ?

(footsteps)

It works.

My God.

(footsteps)

Mind if I borrow this?

Thanks.

(alarm ringing)

JOHNNY-O
Skye, there's a dead
man in the alley.

You have to
tell somebody.

SKYE:
Who?

This is a murder.
Tell the cops.

No! Man, look, they'll find
out we live on the street

and send us right back
to the Youth Authority.

It's like I've always
told you, Johnny-O.

We don't live
in their world.

They don't care what
the hell happens to us,

and we sure don't care
what happens to them.

Yeah, but, hey,
man, she saw you.

She could come
looking for you.

We have to
tell somebody.

No.

Look, we're
the only family we got.

We don't need
anybody else.

That's just the way it is.

RYAN:
Good morning!

You know, after what
happened, I thought

I'd have nightmares all night,
but I slept like a log.

What's the matter
with you guys?

You both look like
somebody just died.

Somebody did.

There was a murder

near the Castle Hill
subway station last night.

W-what time?

Right after we left
it, at around 1:00.

Something
else. Look.

A jewelry store,
a drugstore and a furrier nearby

were burglarized
at the same time.

You think it has something
to do with one of our objects?

I don't know.

There's something
very odd going on.

There was a policeman standing
right outside that jewelry store

and he didn't
see a thing.

What makes you think
there's a connection

between that
and the murder?

There was another murder
near the Castle Hill station

a few days ago--

also at
1:00 a.m.

And another burglary,
also inexplicable.

So what could we
be looking for?

Perhaps something
connected to a burglary

or, or something to
do with the subway?

I don't know, Micki,

but surely there's
gonna be some kind of...

Ryan.

Hand me that newspaper,
will you?

What? What is it?
What have you got?

Last night's victim
was a Henry Wilkerson.

Now, look at this.

Three years ago, a
pocket watch was sold

to a Bart Wilkerson.

Here we go again.

"Evil events
from evil causes spring."

Aristophanes said that.

(telephone ringing)

Curious Goods.

Oh, hello, Guido.
How you doing?

All right. Yeah,
thanks a lot, bud.

Limo's fixed.

Very good. Well, then,
you two can pay a visit

to the widow
of Henry Wilkerson.

See if she knows anything
about the pocket watch,

and I'll check
into this Bart Wilkerson.

Do you like it?

How'd you get a
watch like this?

Never mind.

Is this so I can keep track of
all the time I'm gonna do? Huh?

No! I want
to make sure

we don't spend
another minute apart.

I am gonna get rid
of all of your problems.

Is that right?

Well, the cops came
by my house last night

to hassle me again.

They said the old woman looks

like she's gonna
recover from that coma.

If she makes a statement...

It won't

make any difference.
Not now.

Really? And just what
are you gonna do?

The only way I'm gonna get
out of this is if she croaks,

and there's a guard
on her door 24 hours a day.

What's that?

Hypodermic.

I picked it
up last night,

along with this.

You're gonna kill her?

Why not?

I killed Henry.

Whoa. Would you look at this?

That's what I call a car.

You know, if we had this,
we'd probably never

have to worry
about breakdowns again.

Come on, Ryan, huh?

(doorbell chimes)

Yes?

Mrs. Wilkerson?

REATHA:
Yes.

MICKI:
We were so sorry to hear
about your husband.

Were you friends
of Henry's?

No. Not exactly.

Actually, uh, we
were wondering

if your husband owned
an antique pocket watch.

I, I really
don't know.

What's this about?

You see, someone
called Bart Wilkerson

bought it from our uncle and
we're trying to recover it.

Oh.

Well... I'm very sorry,

but I really don't
know anything about it.

(tearfully):
You see...

Henry and I were only married
for a little over a month.

If you do happen to
come across it...

perhaps you could
give us a call.

Certainly.

I-I'm very sorry, but
you'll have to excuse me.

Sorry to have
disturbed you.

The watch.

The one you've
been talking about.

Yeah.

(laughing)

I told you there was
nothing to worry about.

Dead end.

I think it's time to
take another subway ride.

We've covered every
station in the district.

Those kids might
have seen something.

We gotta talk to them.

What makes you think
they'll talk to us?

We'll figure that out
when we find them.

I think we just did.

Catch you
later, Johnny-O.

See ya, man.

Later.

Come on.

Well, it isn't every day

I bump into a pretty
woman on the subway.

Shall we take a
walk this way?

Hmm?
Sure.

Thanks again.

A single girl can't
be too careful

in this kind
of neighborhood.

It's my pleasure.

My name's Bob.
Bob Barnett.

Nice meeting you, Bob.

You stay here all night?

Maybe.

You're worried about
that woman, aren't you?

Do I look worried?

Yeah.

(metal door clangs)

It's okay. It's okay.

What do you want?

We just want to talk to you.

I've never done anything
like this before,

but I had something
else in mind

when I asked you
for that escort.

You are a very
handsome man.

Oh, please tell me
if I'm being too forward?

No, not at all.

I've, uh...
got some time.

Feel like being a
little adventurous?

So you didn't see
anything at all?

RYAN:
Come on you guys.

You live down here--
you had to see something.

Look, if you can help us,

we might be able
to help you.

Okay. You got 20 bucks?

Okay, so what'd you see?

It was dark.

So she didn't
see nothing.

(both laughing)

You guys think you're
pretty smart, don't you?

Mm-hmm.
Well, if you're
so damn smart,

what the hell
are you doing living here?

Come on, Micki.

These guys aren't
going to help us out.

Okay. If you see
anything give us a call.

Please.

Hey, maybe we should
get a hotel room.

We don't have time...

(chuckles)

It'll be our
little secret, hmm?

(gasps)

They know more
than they're saying.

Just give them time.

Why should they
trust people like us?

You think I was a
little hard on them?

Isn't that Mrs. Wilkerson?

Yeah. Yeah!

And she's got the watch.

(train rumbling)

(rumbling slows)

(heart beating)

(heart beating)

(echoing footsteps)

? ?

(electronic beeping)

(gasps)

(muffled scream)

(rapid beeping)

(steady tone)

You wouldn't
believe it, Jack...

everything was frozen in time,

like some black
and white photo.

Thanks.

Yeah, and I didn't
see anything at all.

One second Ryan was
running after her,

the next he was lying
by the tracks.

There was no sensation
of time stopping at all.

When exactly did
this happen?

Well, it's, like,
3:00 now, so...

Uh-uh, it's 2:00.
Your watch must be fast.

I've got 2:00 as well.

Well, I'm an hour
ahead of you.

What?

No, Micki,
he's right.

Touching Mrs. Wilkerson
and that watch

must have drawn Ryan
into the force field.

So that he was moving through
time just as she was,

as the rest
of the world stood still.

The curse lasts
exactly one hour.

Yes, and I'll wager that
that hour begins at 1:00 a.m.,

like the others.

It's a time known in
the occult as 13 o'clock.

JOHNNY-O:
Skye, come on, you got
to tell somebody.

SKYE:
I'm not going to go
over this again, Johnny-O.

My mind's made up.

JOHNNY-O:
But what if she comes
looking for you?

SKYE:
We'll lose her the same way
we've lost everybody else

who's come looking for us.
Now, drop it.

JOHNNY-O:
Okay, fine. Fine.
I'm just worried, that's all.

SKYE:
Okay.
Fine.

SKYE:
So what are we
going to do tonight?

Why don't we see if Rachel
and Marge are at the subway.

She didn't say
nothing to nobody.

She obviously said
something to you.

Look, leave my brother
out of this!
Fine.

It'll be our
little secret.

(screaming)

Run, Skye! Run!

Run, run, run!

Johnny-O, I'm hurt.

Go ahead.

Tonight it won't matter
how fast you run.

Bart Wilkerson was a switcher
at the Castle Hill Station.

He was fired for
drinking on the job.

Swore he'd get even with
the subway system, of course.

Lewis' records show that
Bart pawned the watch here.

Yes, shortly after
he was fired.

Then about a year later,
he bought it back.

With a curse thrown in
at no extra charge.

That also explains
why the curse is centered

around the Castle Hill
Station, too, hmm?

Yes.

Lewis conveniently
handed him a way

to change his destiny,
didn't he?

The ability to stop time

and have everything
you want for one hour.

Yes, must have been
very tempting for him.

Well, Bart died a couple
of months ago.

So son Henry must have
inherited the watch.

Along with almost
unlimited wealth.

I think he inherited a little
bit more than he bargained for.

Yeah, like a gold-digging wife.

Make that grave-digging.

"The evil that men do
lives after them,

the good is often interred
with their bones."

Shakespeare.

So how do we stop her, Jack?

I have no idea.

It seems she has to
be in that station

to be able to use the watch

and we certainly

know when she's going to strike.

But there's no way
the three of us

can cover all
those entrances

and all the incoming trains.

(phone ringing)

Curious Goods.

Yes. Just a moment please.

It's for you, Micki.

MICKI:
Hello.

Yeah. My name's Johnny-O.

We met today.

Um...

I think we're ready
to talk to you now.

ERIC:
This is unbelievable.

"Massive coronary.
Died of natural causes."

Nobody suspects a thing.

I told you.

We can have anything
we ever wanted,

accomplish anything
we've dreamed of.

We can pull off
that big score

you always wanted to
and retire to Brazil.

And... what would my future
wife like to do tonight, huh?

Withdraw a million dollars
from the bank?

Browse around Fort Knox?

You name it.

All of the above.

First I have to get
rid of that kid.

Those bad guys are tougher
then you thought, huh?

Okay.

I can patch this up
for now, but you're going

to have to see a real
doctor in the morning.

I'm fine.

You ever had a room like this?

I don't remember.

Who cares?

I saw your

routine in the subway.

You're quite
the acrobat.

I'd give your
walkover technique a 5.7.

So?

I used to be a gymnast.

You did?
Yeah.

But I don't think I had
quite the talent that you do.

I'm not that great.

I fall a lot.

Yeah. Well, all the pros do.

That's how they get
to be so good.

There you go, guys.

Um... thanks.

Thanks for not telling
the cops about us.

Yeah.

What you guys
asked about?

SKYE:
I saw everything.

I saw this woman kill
an old guy in an alley.

Stabbed him.

But you gotta swear
you won't tell the cops.

They'd never
believe us anyway.

I'm not sure you would either.

Try us.

All right.

This lady has a pocket watch
with the power to freeze time.

RYAN:
But she has to kill
somebody before it works.

Yeah. Right. Sure.

Anything's possible.

Yeah. Sure.
Why do you guys want her?

As long as she has that watch,
she can find any of us

during that hour
when time stands still.

We're all targets.

Especially you.

Why do you care
what happens to us?

Well, believe me, we do.

Maybe we can do
something to help.

Maybe you can.

Skye said she will
meet me upstairs,

and Johnny will
meet you at the platform.

Right.

I'll take the
rear entrance.

Between the three of us
and their friends,

we should have
the station covered.

If she doesn't find another way.

If she gets that watch there
by 1:00, Skye's as good as dead.

Yeah, and so are we.

See? The board, here,
flashes a light pattern

for every single train
leaving every single station,

so we'll have
a couple minutes' warning

before she pulls in,
so we can be ready.

Good. Micki and
Jack should have

the upstairs entrance
covered by now.

She's not going to get in
without one of us seeing her.
Right.

Come on. Just down here.

It'll be our
little secret.

(man chuckling)

How's your arm?

It's okay.

So what are we supposed
to do if we see her?

The best we can.

Gotta get that watch.

(man groaning)

We have your brother.

Scream,
and we'll break your neck.

You hear me? Huh? Huh?

Okay. Good girl. Come on.

Skye?

Skye!

She's not on this one,

but there's one more
train due before 1:00.

If she's coming,
it'll be anytime now.

One word, and you'll
never see your brother again.

You better not hurt him.

Aw...

You're a pretty girl.

You could
have gone places.

When I was
on the streets,

I learned to
cooperate real fast.

Go to hell!

Shut up.

Let's take her
someplace quiet.

We have to wait
until time stops.

I don't want to leave
any more witnesses.

Skye!

Oh!

? ?

Get her!

Ryan!

MICKI:
She's on the train!
She's got Skye!

How long does it take the train
to get to the next station?

Minute and a half.

Is there any other
way to stop it?

Well, there's an
emergency switch.

Where?
Down there!

Come on!

Help! Help me! Help me! Help!

Help! Stop them! Stop them!

You little bitch.

What's happening?

Somebody must
have cut the power!

There! Go ahead! Take it!

You can't even use it
if you're not in the station!

Johnny-O, no!

Stay with Micki.

Wait! No! My sister!

Come here!
Eric!

Forget about her!

We've got to get back
to the station.

Come on!

(sobbing)

ERIC:
We've got two minutes!

(Eric groaning)

(grunting)

Eric, come on!

We've got less
than a minute left!

Micki, look!

Come on!
Ryan!

Come on, Ryan!

Come on!

No!

JOHNNY-O:
Hey, thanks.

No one has ever done this kind
of stuff for us before.

MICKI:
I just wish you'd
let us do more for you.

Johnny-O and me, we're at
home on the street, you know?

I mean, we just wouldn't
fit anywhere else.

JACK:
Nobody said
you have to.

A friend of mine has a
youth shelter over on 44th.

He has food, clothing--
the works.

It's not as much
as you should have,

and it's not the best
place you could be,

but at least you
can be together.

You sure this guy's okay?

Yes, Skye.
Some people do care.

MICKI:
Well, what do you
think about that?

Yeah. Let's check
it out. Jack?

You got the keys
to the car?

"Old wood best to burn,
old wine best to drink,

old plugs best to change."

Who said that?

The gentleman
driving the tow truck.
