Original subtitles

I love the ocean.

It fills me up, makes me feel so alive.

But like they always say, you should never swim alone.

So, I'm looking for a guy to swim with me...

and more.

Are you tired of spending

the evening alone again?

Tired of the hustle and hype of the bars and clubs

of the single scene?

I'm trying to make more friends and...

Unwilling to try another blind date?

We just didn't seem to hit it off.

Don't despair.

We can introduce you to the date of your dreams.

Hi, I'm Susan.

I'm Felicity.

Call me Jane.

How did you find out about our service?

Well, a friend of mine, Jay Winston, is a member.

Ah, well, good to have satisfied members.

Here at Dream Date, we have the largest membership pool

of any dating service in the country.

We like to say that we take the time, the trouble,

and the danger out of the singles scene

for young professionals such as yourself.

Well, what danger?

Danger, Gabe, this is the 80s.

All members are required to take bi-annual medical exams.

No exceptions, house rule.

Hey, we only want the best.

Which is why you're here, isn't it?

Oh, no. Actually, I'm here to appease a friend of mine.

who thinks that my situation has become so desperate

that joining will save my life.

-Hey, gorgeous. -Oh god, uhm...

Rob, you're just the man I...

Uh, Maude, this is Gabe. Maude, give him a drink.

How do you do?

-Excuse me for one second. -Sure.

Oh. No, thank you.

I'm sorry, it's just not gonna work out.

Could I steal her away for a moment?

I've got a prospective member I want you to meet.

I didn't tell him what a cock-tease you are.

Well, I won't tell him you can't get it up.

Gabe, this is Bree.

She has one of the more enticing videos in the club.

Hi, Gabe.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Wow.

Need I say more?

Join the club.

You can exchange date tapes with her and who knows?

You might get lucky.

Everything's completely confidential.

Phone numbers, addresses, even last names

are released only by mutual consent

through Dr. Florence, our relationship coordinator.

Now, there's no information given on the tape?

Well, no, nothing that personal, you see...

all the personal, confidential information

is in the master computer file which only I

can get into without asking.

Now, you wanted to see Bree.

Actually, Mickey, I'm not trying to be difficult,

but I really don't think that this is...

Ah, now look Gabe,

why don't you just give me a couple more minutes,

we'll put your bio sheet into the computer and find out

who the computer would match you up with,

what do you say to that? All right, let's see...

To further expand your choices, we can tap into the videos

of any of the regional Dream Date offices

in the country.

We make a selection

with our modem activated transmission system

and just pick them up over the air waves.

So...

the computer matches you up with number 6733,

whoever that is.

Hi, my name's Chris.

I'm just looking for a man who, uhm...

isn't afraid of showing affection and...

showing his emotions.

And you don't have to be gorgeous or rich.

I'm not.

So, just bring along your sense of humor and uhm...

maybe we can have some laughs.

I'm telling you,

if you doctor up your bio a little bit

you'll do a lot better than that.

No, I don't think so.

You don't think so?

Watch this.

I really liked that video, you know?

Well, hang on.

I got something even better. Watch this one.

You know, there's something so sad about eating alone,

especially late at night.

Now, if you're tired of raiding the fridge at midnight,

and you're looking for a friend, call me,

Bree.

I take all major credit cards.

That's great... that's great. Hold it! Right there.

OK. It's perfect.

OK. Whenever you're ready.

Perfect.

That was perfect. Thank you very much.

If you want a copy of the cassette,

you can give me your address and I can mail it to you.

Yeah, right. Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey, Dave. How you doing, buddy? Good to see you.

Gabe's looking for you.

Say hello to Florence for me, OK?

-Here you go. -Good morning, Joan.

You're looking lovely.

-Thank you, see you later. -OK.

Gabe!

Sorry. Girl-watching on company time?

Damnit, Jay.

I have a 5 o'clock deadline. You just made me ruin this.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll knock next time.

Besides you know, I thought you needed to see me.

-I'm outta here. -Wait, no.

It's fine. Sorry.

Ugh. I just wanted to tell you that, uhm...

I finally went in

and I went to that video dating club.

-No. -Yeah.

-Really? - Yeah.

I can't believe this. This is great.

Now you and I, we can go together. Great!

No, no. I said I went. You see, I didn't join.

Gabe...

At this place, you'll meet the type of woman

a guy of your echelon, of your status needs.

Come on, at the very least,

you'll get somebody for the reunion. Come on.

What do you get, huh?

A kickback for every sucker you lure in there?

No, no. Just a one-year extension.

I know you too well, Jay Winston.

Yes, you do.

But to prove to your cynical little mind

that I am doing this purely out of friendship,

I am gonna take you, my friend,

to the hottest club in this city.

All right, I admit it, I broke my own rule.

Normally I wouldn't lay a hand on any of my customers,

but Bree dated everybody.

She was that kind of girl.

You know what I mean.

I want a list.

A list?

A list?

Pick up a local phone book, man.

I told you, Bree was very popular.

You get the idea.

I feel really uncomfortable here.

Will you lighten up?

-Come on,

how often do you get to see talent like this in a bar?

Uh... Don't look. Be cool.

You're about to score, buddy.

Jay, look, it's her.

See the blond one, right over there,

-sitting on the stool? - Yeah.

That's that girl from the club, the one that I liked.

-Yeah. -Is she really a member?

Yeah, it's Chris.

Don't get too involved, she's looking for a commitment.

That's OK.

I think I'm gonna go introduce myself.

No. You'd be much better off

waiting for the chick over there on the blue dress.

She was undressing you with her eyes. Look at her.

Where?

-Right there? - Yeah.

You're full of shit. She's not even looking at me.

Look, come on.

Buddy, you're still in your warm, sweet-hearted,

humble guy mode.

So what is wrong with that?

There's nothing wrong with that, it's just...

the chicks here, they want guys with cash, panache, condos.

I'm just gonna try to be myself, OK?

That's what I'm afraid of.

Hi.

You're Chris, aren't you?

Yeah.

My name's Gabe.

This is really hard for me, but I just wanted to say hi.

How did you know my name?

Oh, well, you see, I have... Do you mind if I sit down?

No, go ahead.

Thanks.

Now, look, I'm sorry that I couldn't be

more help to you.

If anything comes up, you need to talk to me,

feel free.

Count on it.

Can I ask you something?

Why is someone as charming and beautiful,

and down to earth as you are,

why do you belong to a video dating club?

-Will you do me a favor? - Sure.

Don't give me any more lines like that.

I was just beginning to enjoy talking to you.

That wasn't a line.

Can I do something for you?

No, but I'll call you if I need any furniture moved.

Get lost, pal. The lady is with me.

Lay off, Rick.

Come on, let's get out of here. Now.

I'll check out your video.

Thank you.

-Hi. - Hi.

I'll look at your video too.

If you tell me your name.

-Are you a member? -Uh-huh.

-What's your name? -Susan.

Fight! Fight!

Hi. I'm Susan.

By day, I'm a mild-mannered bank teller.

By night, I'm a little more outgoing.

As you can see.

Especially when I'm cheering for the LA Stars.

So...

if you think you can give me something to...

jump up and down about, call me.

Hey!

- What's the problem?

Are you nuts, lady?

Sorry.

Who are you?

Why are you doing that?

You know, Rick?

This is wrong.

It's been wrong since the beginning.

Now even the sex is bad.

Well, I find that very difficult to believe.

Oh, Rick...

It isn't as good as it was.

But you... you used to say you liked everything about me.

Except your wife and kids.

There's nothing wrong with them.

You're not being fair.

I've always been up front with you.

I just can't leave my family right now.

Boy, have I heard that before.

Don't kid yourself, Chris.

Down deep you're happier with this arrangement than I am.

-Don't start with me. -Well, it's true.

I just can't do this anymore.

I'd like you to leave now.

- Taylor? -Yeah, it's me.

What the hell is going on here?

The press is killing me on this thing!

Stay out of her pants and get to work!

Find him by Friday, or, Taylor,

I'm gonna bust your ass down to a beat.

Understood?

Right, I got it.

What is it?

Oh. Just another murder.

Hi, ladies.

I'm Jay Winston.

I used to wonder what do women really want?

They want the simple things.

Food.

Drink

Shelter.

Clothing.

If you think you need these bare essentials, call me.

Jay Winston.

Is that great?

That's incredible.

See how my buddy Brooks lets me borrow the boat?

Mmm-hmm.

Jay, the tape is complete bullshit.

That's not the point.

What do you mean, that's not the point?

It's the image, the aura, is me.

Do you know how many dates I got after that thing came out?

Look, this may be good for you, but, uhm...

I'm not gonna make a video lie.

Will you trust me? Trust me.

Now you got... a look.

-Don't push it. -OK.

I like that. Pose for me, yeah.

Oh, that's real smooth. That's good, that's good.

Look up, look up. Yeah, yeah.

Good, serious.

Yeah, that's nice. I think that...

Oh, come on, I almost got that one.

-OK. -That's it. Natural. Good.

No, that's not it.

That's, it. Look up. Smile.

-Smile? -Oh, man.

- Come on, give me serious. -No, wait.

-Oh, give me... Come on! -I can't do this.

-Come on! -I can't do this!

Come on, hold your back.

I feel stupid... I don't... I don't wanna do this.

Come on, you gotta think that this is like...

an expression of your inner self.

Believe me, this is not what my inner self looks like.

-Hey, buddy, you want Chris? -Yeah!

Well, then you're gonna have to play the game.

Hi, I'm Gabriel.

Let me tell you I am no angel.

Listen, why don't you join me for a drink and, uhm...

maybe a little moonlight cruise later on, huh?

And... cut.

It was timely, it is tasteful, it's great.

It's fa-- It is, it's fabulous. Wasn't that great?

-Very sincere. -Did it look good in there?

Looked great! Great, Gabe.

I've worked hard to get to get to where I am today.

And now, I'm reaping the benefits of my efforts,

and I'm looking for a special woman to, uhm...

to share them with.

Someone I can form a productive partnership with,

which will make us both very happy.

Well, look at the bright side. You got four tapes.

Four responses to those tapes.

That's great fishing on your first cast.

I don't want the others. I wanted Chris.

I mean, that's the only reason I joined this place.

Is that you, Gabe?

Yes. This Gabriel Beck

for Dominique Lizzi.

- I'll be right down. -OK.

-Hi. -Hi.

Was everything satisfied?

Yeah, it was great.

-Can I do anything else for you? -No, thank you.

-Good evening. -Thank you.

Brooksy!

Gabe, there's an old friend of mine, uhm...

Stay here, I'll be back.

Do'.

-You look terrific. -Well, thank you.

There's a terrific party at Jack's place tonight.

-Wanna join me? -I'd love to.

I need to speak to Tom for a minute,

-and then we can leave. -OK.

They're holding my car out front.

-Dominique. Hi. -Hi.

Uh... do you have time to have a quick drink?

No, I don't. Thanks.

-Hi. Good to see you. - Good to see you.

I paid the check.

-Oh, you forgot your purse. -Thanks.

-So, was that your old friend? -Yeah.

Gabe, he's a really important agent.

Look, Brooks will drive me home.

What?

Well, don't cause a scene,

I'm just gonna go home with someone else.

I'm not causing a scene, but you just, you can't do that.

Gabe, take your hands off me, OK?

-Hey, Dominique. -Don't touch me!

Dominique, just listen--

Is that you, Gabe?

You son of a bitch.

Is that what turns you on?

Don't. Please, don't.

Hello, asshole.

I found these in your car.

Remember me?

Yeah, furniture mover.

Wrong. Homicide.

She was fortunate enough to flag down a car and escape.

She says you attacked her, because she rejected you.

And we have witnesses that corroborate her story

that the two of you had a fight at the restaurant.

I swear that is not me.

Look, do I have to watch this thing anymore?

If you give me the cassettes, I can prove it.

-I did not film these videos. -No?

Then, how did these handy little video cartridges

which fit precisely into your camera

find their way into your car?

I told you, I do not lock my car.

Somebody must've put them in there.

And those tapes are generic.

They fit all 8-millimeter cameras.

Who'd want to plant them in your car?

I don't know!

Not good enough Mr. Beck.

I'm booking you for the murders of Bree McCullough and Sue Lyons

and for the attempted rape of Dominique Lizzi.

You don't have enough evidence to hold him here.

I'll have him out on the street in an hour.

I'll be right there waiting for him.

I really appreciate you arranging bail, Annie.

Thank you very much for coming down.

I just don't understand why you won't handle the case.

Good luck finding someone to represent you.

Joanie...

what's wrong with the door?

-They changed the locks. -Why?

Mr. Platt gave strict orders

you're to be shown off the premises.

Rick, it's OK!

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm returning your clothes.

Great.

You son of a bitch!

What are you trying to pin this on me for?

-What are you talking about? -Taylor hassled me.

I'm sorry.

Look, I wasn't trying to pin anything on you.

What happened was,

he asked me if anybody else in the office

belonged to Dream Date, right?

-Yeah. -What was I supposed to say?

What? I mean should I have lied?

That was it. That's all that happened.

The guy's a maniac.

What are you so worried about?

They're totally convinced I'm the killer, not you.

Well, are you?

Thanks a lot.

Come on, I believe you, you schmuck.

-You sure? -Yeah, you dope.

Oh, my God.

God.

The high school reunion.

I totally forgot about this.

It's back over at Catalina. Gonna take the boat?

"Come with your original prom date and dance till dawn."

Wow.

Gonna take some really hot chick from D.D.

You should come.

No, I don't think so.

All right, let's stop talking about this reunion OK?

What are you gonna do?

Talent.

Definite talent.

What if somebody dropped the Tapes in your car

while you were in the restaurant?

Mmm. No. It's impossible.

The lot is guarded 24 hour a day.

It had to be at the office.

-You were there, weren't you? -Yeah.

Well, how late did you stay?

I was there about till 6, then Rob came to pick me up.

No, wait, wait. Rob Sklar? That guy from Dream Date?

Yeah, but he's OK, man, don't even consider it.

I didn't leave till 7:30 p.m.

Hey, look, I don't want Taylor jumping all over Rob

-the way he jumped over me. -Goddamnit Jay. Please.

Come on, this is my life we're talking about.

I don't give a shit about protecting Rob.

Why don't you protect me, huh? Help me.

All right, all right. Calm down. Sit down, come on, sit.

Now, I'm gonna fill you in on everything I know, OK?

Rob came to pick me up. I showed him around the place.

Right.

I told him you were also a member...

What?

Well, there's one thing. When I...

told him that you were seeing Dominique,

he said, "what a coincidence," and, uhm...

laughed about it, I mean it's not...

No. It had to be Rob. It had to be Rob.

-Slow down, pal. -I don't have time to slow down.

I gotta figure out if Rob was involved with those women.

-How are you gonna do that? -Maybe somebody

at Dream Date will tell me. Mickey, I don't know.

Don't count on it.

Look, I'll call you if I need anything.

Good luck, all right?

God.

Okay, Gary, I'm ready. You can come in now.

I think you better come out here.

-Gabe. -God, Mickey.

I'm glad you're here.

Oh, boy.

Listen, I need to talk to you about something.

Fine. Let's go in my office where we can have some privacy.

-Thanks. -Maude, hold my calls.

I really appreciate this, Mickey.

You know, Gabe, you've got a hell of a nerve

coming back here after all this.

I'm running a class fucking operation here,

not a supermarket for psychopaths.

It wasn't me, Mickey.

I swear it.

Now look, all I want

is the chance to go through these files

so I can find out who the real killer is.

Is that possible?

Sure.

Sure.

-Really? -Why not? Why not?

Thank you.

In fact, why don't I just, uhm...

why don't I just give you run of the place.

Here, you know what this is? See that?

That's your membership file, Gabe.

I already deleted you from the computer files.

Now what have we got over here?

Yeah, there it is, see that?

That's your video tape, pal.

Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt,

but do either one of you belong to Dream Date?

OK.

Do you guys belong to Dream Date?

Wait a second, I saw you, I saw your tape there.

Thank you. Thanks for the help.

Looks like you could use a friend.

Well, isn't this an honor?

I just thought you'd like somebody to talk to.

Look, aren't you afraid?

I mean, I'm sure your boyfriend, detective Taylor

told you how dangerous I am, didn't he?

He's not my boyfriend.

And I'm not afraid.

You're very brave. That's all I can say.

No, I'm not being brave.

I'm just not convinced.

Why not?

Because you just don't seem like a killer to me.

Thank you.

Tell you what, my girlfriend stranded me here.

If you give me a ride home, I'll tell you what I can.

Thanks for trying to help

You know...

When this is all over, maybe we could, uhm...

go on a real date.

I'd like that.

Ah, hell, why wait?

Do you want to come up?

Are you sure you want

the video killer in your apartment?

Yeah. I like to live on the edge.

I meant to throw that out.

Thanks.

No, it's, it's fine.

Actually, you know, this place is uhm...

it's sort of what I'd expect from your tape.

What do you mean by that?

Well, it's just that, uhm...

This is all coming out wrong.

What I mean is just that...

You're different.

You know? That's what I like about you.

You're offbeat, I mean...

It's like I've always been weird, people... you know?

I think that's... It's probably why.

I think that's probably why we're lonely.

Who says I'm lonely?

Well, you do.

No, I...

I don't mean you say that you're lonely,

I mean that's just what I get, you know?

Yeah, and what about you?

You're certainly not the ladies' man in your video.

Yeah, you're right about that.

Why not? Have a little problem?

-Thanks for the beer-- -No, wait.

Gabe, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it. It was really out of line.

Yeah, it was.

I can't believe I even said that.

I can.

You just...

you hit a little too close to home.

And I'm not completely at ease with you.

You really don't trust me, do you?

I'm trying to.

Get your hands off of her or I'll blow your head off!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Backing up my partner.

I didn't ask for any back-up, did I?

I heard something crash.

It was a bottle!

You're a cop.

And you've been setting me up all this time, huh?

None of this has been real?

-No, wait Gabe... -Don't lie to me!

Go ahead, asshole. Show her how you really feel.

Save the taxpayers some money.

Go to hell!

Gabe, please, listen to me.

Don't.

I don't want you to even talk to me anymore.

I owe you one.

Hey, what are friends for, buddy, right?

Besides, I'm starting to worry about you.

Damnit!

Forget it. It's protected.

Yeah, they got a scrambler on it.

You know, I think I can defeat it.

With what?

With a piece of code that I kludged up last year.

OK.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Come on.

You're unbelievable.

And, we're screwed.

How do you know the password?

I saw it in Mickey's office one day.

Yeah, well I wouldn't tell the cops about it if I were you.

Jesus.

That's right.

One thousand shares of Bioclone.

Fabulous.

Hi, I'm Rob.

And as you can see, my life is very busy.

But I make time for that special woman.

Here's a good tip.

Give me a call. I've got a lot to offer.

Do you believe this crap? I mean, the guy runs a gym.

Bree McCullough.

Dominique Lizzi.

Susan Matley.

Son of a bitch! I was right.

Let's see what Taylor has to say about this.

Hey, what he's probably gonna say

is that we broke into private property.

We illegally accessed confidential files

and then we found a member who happened to date

all three victims.

Shit. You're right.

The only way we can nail him is by catching him in the act.

So let's find out who his next victim's gonna be.

Freeze!

Can't even wait till she gets home, can you?

How long have you been following me this time?

Long enough to catch you here.

You bring your backup with you, officer?

What makes you think I need him?

I don't know. Conning is always more fun in pairs, isn't it?

You never gave me a chance to explain.

Save it! I'm trying to prevent another murder

and save my ass, OK?

So now you're the good guy, huh?

Look. Just listen to me, OK?

I ran a check on all the guys

who dated the Dream Date victims.

Well, Rob Sklar, the guy who's with Annette

he dated them all.

How did you find that out?

Never mind.

The important thing is that you keep an eye on him.

Never mind?

What do you mean, never mind?

I could take you in just for following her.

What, and let him kill Annette while you're doing that?

Is that the idea, officer?

Look, you're gonna tell me more,

but I swear to God, if you're lying to me...

Well, then, we'd be even, wouldn't we?

If you think for one minute

that I would consider...

Good night, Rob.

Well, here we go.

I know where he's going so let me drive.

This better be good.

Oh good, he's got a red light.

He's heading right toward Annette's apartment.

She's on Windward, just off of Lincoln.

Hey, there's his car.

The Brig, huh? Does Annette live upstairs?

Tough night?

Oh, God.

You think I'm out of my mind, don't you?

Well, your suspicions about Sklar

are starting to look a little shaky.

Thank you.

And that leaves me, right?

Woo-woo.

It's been swell.

You stiffin' me for a beer again, Beck?

You take care of that thing.

Hey, get your fucking hands off of her!

Says who?

Oh, oh.

-Says me. -Oh yeah?

Punk, what do you think of that?

Hey!

Come on baby, shake those things.

That was the biggest mistake of your life, boy.

Get in here!

Hey, pal, go get them!

Drop the knife!

Why the fuck should I?

Because it just might get your face blown off!

Now get up!

Put your arms back.

What do you think you're looking at?

-Thanks. -Call the police.

I just love to curl up with a good book in bed.

But there are lots of other things

I like to do too.

And, uhm... most of them require a friend.

Thanks for the tip, lady.

Where the hell have you been?

-What happened to your car? -Lay off, Rick.

What happened?

Oh, your boyfriend just erased another young lady's video.

Rape murder. Same M.O.

-Annette? -How did you know?

Give me a ride home.

My pleasure.

I'm serious, Chris, the separation's official,

but it's really hard.

Can I come in?

Oh, listen, Rick, I'm sorry.

I'm just really dead.

We'll talk tomorrow, OK?

Damnit Chris.

I know you think you know what you're doing

with that guy, but it's stupid behavior.

Now, cut it out before you get hurt.

That guy really doesn't like me, does he?

Freeze!

Chris. It's only me.

Put your hands up.

Come on, you can't be serious.

I'm very serious. Put your hands up.

-That was some disappearing act. -All right, look,

I admit I was wrong. It wasn't Rob.

No shit!

Look, I wanted to explain to you why I left.

I don't want to hear it.

Where's my car, you son of a bitch?

I parked it around the corner.

Look, when I realized it wasn't Rob,

I knew Annette was in danger, that's why I left.

I never should've believed you.

She was dead when I got there.

I'm the one who called the police and the ambulance.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one...

It wasn't me.

I don't know what else to say.

OK, I'll be right down.

Morning.

Chris, why don't you come back to bed?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

What's going on?

Hey, I thought last night was pretty great.

I mean it was great, wasn't it?

Yes, it was great.

Do you need to ask?

Well, then, what is going on?

I mean... what...

Why are you acting like this?

Because I'm confused!

What are you confused about?

I can only work on one thing at a time.

I see.

I didn't know you were working on me.

Look, Gabe.

You are in the way of a murder investigation.

And I don't think you're telling me everything you know.

Why the hell does everyone think I know more than I do?

Well, maybe, I'll just have to find out

what it is I'm supposed to know.

Oh, and just how are you going to do that?

I've got that Common Denominator Sort that you requested.

They did have something in common.

They were all cheerleaders.

How'd you guess?

I didn't guess.

I just did some good old-fashioned police work.

Who would come here on a Saturday?

Hey, thanks for sticking your neck out again for me.

Hey, no problem, bud.

Well, I'll tell you one thing, they were all gorgeous.

And young.

Let's see, "West L.A.", "intimate", "sensual".

These words all appear in their files

that they individually wrote.

"Dancer". "Cheerleader".

Yeah, but now what do we do?

I do a full tech search which read all records

containing a few of those common key words.

Let's say, uhm...

Cheerleader. West L.A.

Dancer.

Only one of them matches the other four girls.

Come join me for a workout sometime.

I'm Felicity.

- Fits right in. - So, when's her next date?

It's tonight, with a guy named...

Sam.

What do you have?

What makes you think I have anything?

Oh, that big light bulb over your head.

You still can't see that's Beck, huh?

I'll tell you what.

At least leave your evidence for me

in a sealed envelope, OK?

Then I can nail the prick after he kills you.

What?

Come in. You look different.

I like it.

Thank you.

So what is it you wanna add?

Oh, just that I was a cheerleader at Stanford.

I kinda went through a time

when I looked down on that stuff and, uhm...

now I realize that guys...

seem to find it a turn on, don't they?

Works every time. What is your membership number?

Felicity?

Hello?

Felicity? Hello?

Felicity.

Yeah, I need an ambulance

-at 1300 North Sycamore.

Felicity?

Felicity?

Felicity, this is Sam.

I thought maybe I'd come by early

so we could catch happy hour.

Can I come in?

She... She's in trouble.

I already called the ambulance and I gotta go.

-You're not going anywhere, man.

You're the fucking rapist.

Look, I'm getting out of here!

Impound that car!

Search the area.

He can't be very far from here.

It was the guy on the news, the video rapist.

Gabriel Beck?

Young, dark?

Yeah, that's him.

I tried to stop him, but he got away.

Now what do you think of your buddy Gabe?

Hold it!

Jay!

I gotta lie low until tonight. They took my car.

So, I'm gonna have to find a way to rent another one.

Hey, listen, I have to reach Chris.

And I can't find her. Will you...

will you arrange with her to meet me at your place

at, let's say 12 o'clock?

Hi, Jay. How are you?

Hi. How was Club Med?

-Oh, it was great. -Yeah, you look great.

- Jay? -Hi, uh, Chris?

-Yeah. -Nice to meet you.

-I'm sorry I'm late. -No problems.

Where's Gabe?

We better not talk about it here,

but I'll take you to him in just a bit.

I wanna make sure we're not being followed, you know?

Listen, Gabe said that he can't surface in public

until he finds out who the real guy is.

So, uhm...

What are you drinking?

Now, if I pick just one field, maybe I'll get more names.

Chris?

Hi, this is Chris, I'm not here so, uhm...

Of course you're not there, you're on your way to Jay's.

That's great.

What, are you going steady?

Who wants to know?

Just a friend.

Jay!

Chris!

Oh God, the high school reunion's tonight.

"At the Catalina Casino till dawn." Tonight.

Nice car.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Welcome aboard.

Let me just...

Is that you, Gabe?

Hi, Jay. It's Chris.

I'm just calling to confirm for tonight at the club.

I'll see you there, OK? Thanks.

For you. Look, let me just take this.

Put this away for you. Keep it nice and safer in here.

-To Gabe. -To Gabe.

Speaking of Gabe, where is he?

What are you doing?

I'm gonna take you to see Gabe.

Relax, relax. Go sit down, come on.

Jay!

Wait!

Wait!

Can I smoke?

Not in here, but go on outside.

We're almost to the end of the marina.

Just how far are we going?

Gotta turn around, captain.

Aye, aye, mate.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

I'm just taking you on a cruise to see Gabe.

A cruise my ass, stop this boat right now!

Look, I'm sorry if I scared you. l was...

What do you think? I'm kidnapping you?

We just thought you'd like our surprise.

Oh, terrific. So, where are we going for this little surprise?

Catalina Island.

Look, I can't do this. I've gotta go back.

You do wanna help Gabe, don't you?

Of course I do.

Where's the bathroom?

Down there. Wait a minute, uhm...

I have a sweater and skirt for you to wear.

To the reunion, I mean.

I mean everybody's going

in their favorite high school uniform.

I'm gonna wear my letterman's sweater. So...

Why don't you just go down there and try it on?

Oh, OK. Why not?

Showtime.

Rah-rah-rah.

What do you think?

Pretty kinky, huh?

Wendy.

Who's Wendy?

Put this on.

Jay, I'm not Wendy.

Don't disappoint me!

So, where's Gabe?

Hey, listen, uhm... Would you play something for us?

Hey, bub, I'm outta here.

What do you want, a 20?

Do you understand English, mister?

I'm through for the night. Kaput.

Going home to bed.

You should take that pretty cheerleader home too.

No, you don't understand, bub.

Play something for us.

That's right.

Nice and slow.

Don't move!

I'll blow her brains out.

I'm not moving.

I'm not moving, you see?

Now let her go, Jay.

You see?

-Told you he'd be here. -Jay, come on.

Jay, come on. Just let her go.

And we'll talk about it, OK?

Isn't that weird?

I mean, how this place hasn't changed

in all these years?

Yeah, but you see, some things do change.

Think tonight she's going away with me. She's dumping you

She wants me. She doesn't want you.

That's fine, Jay. That's fine.

You're so self-righteous, aren't you?

Get everything you want?

Even Wendy!

-Wendy? -Wendy loved me!

And you took her away!

Is that what this is all about?

You have been setting me up all this time,

because you think that I took Wendy away from you?

Is that it?

It's all in your head!

I never took Wendy away from you.

I never had anything to do with Wendy.

We were friends.

And you're living in a daydream.

Because Chris isn't in love with you, man.

Chris is a cop.

You fucking--

Are you OK?

Don't let him get away.

Jay!

Shit!

All right!

Jay, stop the boat!

Gabe!

Don't make me do this!

Jay!

A month ago, I wouldn't have been caught dead doing this.

But life is change, and, hopefully, growth,

even though it does get a little difficult sometimes and painful.

Somebody I value very much met a pretty terrific guy this way.

I figure having blown it with her,

the least I could do is benefit from her experience.

Hell, if you can't beat them, join them, right?

So...

if you're looking for someone

who's suffering some growing pains,

but loving every minute of it,

give me a call.

I'm Rick.

Number 3579.

You get that?

Hi.

Hi.
