[ grunts ]

[ ringing continues ]

[ breathing heavily ]

Hello?KAY: Hi, darling. Oh, did I wake you?

[ sighs ] Hi.

What time are you going to work?

What time is it?

It's almost 3:15. Oh, what time did you get home?

I got in about 4:00 this morning.

Are you okay?

I guess.

Are you...No, no, no. I'm fine. Fine.

How are you two?

Oh, we're fine. But I'm simply starving.

You're always hungry.

[ chuckles ] That's not fair.

I know, I know. Two mouths to feed.

Don't you forget it. When can we see you?

How about 7:00?

Well, Danny, I don't know whether I can wait.

Okay. I love you.

I love you too.

[ sighs ]

[ groaning ]

[ growling ]

[ screaming ]

Over here.

Jesus Christ!

Get an ambulance!

He got the Terror!

DWIGHT: You're gonna be a goddamn hero, O'Brien.

[ popping ]

[ horn honking ]

O'BRIEN: Hey, how are you doing?

[ indistinct chattering ]

TRAINER: Double sets, double sets! Let's go!

[ trainer shouting ]

ROBINSON: You've gotta be shitting me!

[ laughs ]

Hey, Benny, come here.

Help me spot this crazy fool!

What the fuck's he training for, the Olympics?

[ laughs ] Tell me.

BENNY: All right.ROBINSON: All right, you crazy bastard. Go for it.

[ huffing ]

Show me.Now!

It's yours now!

[ growling ]Come on. Don't give up. It's yours.

It's on you. You got it, you got it now!

Come on. Strive! Do something! Come on.Yeah. Yeah!

Jam it up! Jam it up!

Come on, keep pushing.Treat that lady nicely!

You're committed to it. Show me! Treat it like a lady.

[ growling ]Yeah! You got it! Do something with it!

[ both cheering ]

[ groans ]What a cop!

[ laughing ] [ puffing ]

Getting strong. Getting strong. Getting strong!

The fish are running tomorrow.

What time?

5:00 a.m. Early.

I hate fish. Especially at 5:00 in the morning.

Maybe she'll wait.

[ both laughing ]

You like that, don't you? Yeah.

It won't fit.

What did you say, honey?

I said it won't fit!

Oh, relax, I'm going to find plenty of room. You just wait and see.

You wouldn't believe the stuff I threw away!

Yes I would.

Oh, and we shouldn't forget those six boxes in the garage.

Kay, aren't you listening to me? I said they won't fit.

It was a joke, I was joking.

[ laughs ]

Would you do me a favor?

What?

Would you go out and get me something?

What's that?

Your sense of humor, I think you left it in the car.

[ laughs ]

You know, Danny, if you're getting cold feet, I'll unpack.

Cops are allowed to change their minds.

I'm not changing my mind. It's just,

well it's all this junk.

Junk. Junk? This is not junk.

Danny, this is stuff my mother gave me through the years.[ mumbling ]

[ both laughing ]

Okay,

it isn't junk, and it isn't cold feet.

Something's wrong. What is it?

[ sighs ]

It's back.

The nightmare's back.

Oh, Danny, I'm sorry.

I thought you said it'd be over?

I mean, six months of therapy, for what?

You were the best patient I ever had.

Or isn't that obvious?

It's not unusual for this dream to come back from time to time.

But it's been over a year.

I mean, why now?

Because you've been working so hard.

You need to unwind.

And I have the perfect solution.

The mattress is still here.

[ laughs ]

In your condition?

[ laughs ] I'm pregnant. I'm not dead.

You know what I think?

I think you've forgotten how.

Moi?

Yes, you.

You're cute.

I know that. So are you.

Stop teasing.

Mmm.

Who's teasing?

KAY: Oh, my God. You haven't forgotten.

[ machine whirring ]

[ woman chattering on PA ]

Very nice, Simon. Now it's time to go.

Come on.Time to go, Simon. It's time to go.

Thank you. Let's go.

Morning, Dr. Highwater.Hey, how're you doing?

WOMAN ON PA: Orderly Barnes to day room six.

Orderly Barnes to day room six.

That's right. Well, I'll be home real soon.

How's Simon?Fine, sir.

Yeah. Well, I told you once...

[ guard chattering indistinctly ]

[ alarm blaring ]

Hold it right there! Hold it! Hold it!

So I started to get out of bed, and she pulled me back in.

I tried to get out of bed again, and she pulled me back in again.

So that's why I was a few minutes late, all right?

[ laughing ] Meat missile.

[ groaning ] No, but it must be really rough on you, Dan,

with Kay being pregnant and all.

You must be horny as hell.

Yeah, it's been tough.

Okay, these hours are killing me.

Yeah, I second that. This is our what?

Twelfth.Twelfth!

Twelfth damn time!

Listen, my sources assure me...Your sources suck.

No Victor, no drugs, nada.RADIO: News update on the dramatic escape...

Now, wait a minute... ...of Simon Moon...

Listen! Listen. ...also known as the Terror.

From San Bernadino County, Dr. John Highwater,

administrative head of Camden State Hospital, told KFWB News

that Simon Moon had escaped in a stolen laundry van,

but lost control of the vehicle just outside the hospital grounds,

and drove the truck off a 400 foot cliff into the Snake River.

Moon's body still has not been recovered.

Simon Moon had been confined to Camden State Maximum Security

for the past three years.

[ news continues ]DWIGHT: It's about fucking time.

ROBINSON: Yeah, well, he deserved worse.

[ groans ]

Hey, Babo, you catch the Lakers last night?

Nah. I ain't got cable in my neighborhood yet.

What do you mean you don't got cable?

You live on Pluto, my man?

Nah. Tarzana, man.

Tarzana? [ laughs ] Let me tell you, Magic was burning last night.

He was doing a great job.

See over by the boat?Mmm.

See them?Yeah, I see them.

Hey, man,

these are the worst fucking eggs I've ever had.

Wait till you try the toast.

You're full of shit, Vic. Let's get some coffee. I'm cold.

All right.Hey, Joe boy, let's load 'em up!

They're coming.

Relax.

Yo, Raul. Give me some of that famous coffee of yours.

BABO: Black coffee.

Who's your buddy?He's my cousin, Carlos.

Your cousin Carlos?

[ laughs ]

Carlos.

[ speaking in Spanish ]

Si.

Thanks.

Let's go.

GUERRERO: Something stinks here, my friend.

You see two guys in the car down there, Babo?

Only time I ever see that, they're cops or queers.

Shit.Hope they're queers.

Amigo,take off.

Okay. Looks like show time.

See you on the ice.

Hey, I'm with you, brother.

Victor.

You too, pal.GUERRERO: What's going on, man?

You know what. You didn't pay for your coffee.

Lay 'em on the ground. You too.

Drop them, slowly.

GUERRERO: Let's go, come on! Let's get the fuck outta here!

Let's go! Come on!

Get the fuck outta the way!

Move your ass, Victor!

[ grunts ]

Come on, Babo!

Idiot!

Come on. Come on. Oh, fuck!

Well, the way I see it, Victor, you have two choices.

You can swim for it,

or you can give it up.

[ laughs ]

I'm going to break you like a bad habit, numbnuts.

Well, that is a third choice.

[ groans ]

Now do you give up?

How about now?

I'm from the street, man. I'm going to show you what it's like.

Oh, good.

Now?

Fuck you, pal!

That's not a choice.

[ groans ]

I'm gonna die!

[ screaming ]

Eleven months they've been refurbishing this place

and we still won't be ready for tonight.

Eleven months, do you know how long that is?Uh...

That's almost a year. Three people call in sick.

What are they, crazy, or what? Half of the gold leaf is missing.

So, Betty...Betsy.

So, Betsy, you're a reverend's daughter.

So maybe you won't rob me blind.

You know that whole "Thou shall not steal" thing.

Twenty-three years in the business, I've learned one thing,

your help will rob you blind.

Let me ask you a question.

Are you going to steal from me?

Oh, no.Okay.

Go to the office, get a uniform, go upstairs, change, come right back down.

Does this mean I have the job?Yes, it does.

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.You're welcome.

Frank, over to the left, okay?

FRANK: Yeah, okay.I've got a world premiere here in five hours.

I got the job!Would you please just work with me on this? Thank you.

[ phone ringing ]

Hello, manager.

Yes, well, that's good, the champagne.

Of course chilled.

I got the job!

Oh, you're off and running, Bets.

First you get your hair done...[ door opening ]

...then you get a manicure, then you get a boyfriend.

Daddy won't like that!

[ giggling ][ squeaking ]

Little pizzas?

The mayor is not going to consume little pizzas, you understand that?

[ monitor beeping ]

Would you like to know the baby's sex?

You can tell?Sure.

I would, huh?

Okay.

Well, she's...She?

...positioned perfectly.It's a girl?

Yes, it is.

It is a girl. Look!

[ both laughing ]

And she's healthy as a horse.

[ chuckles ]

Yes, I knew that by the way she was kicking.

What I would like to know is when.

DOCTOR: Well, anytime now.

You said that last week.

That's what I thought last week.

But then it's not up to me, it's up to her.

And she's being a bit stubborn.

It runs in the family.

Listen, take her out shopping.

It'll take her mind off everything.

It always does.

Aw.

GEORGE: Ms. Hammond? Ms. Hammond? Are you in there?

Ms. Hammond?

Damn these kids.

If you can't trust a Reverend's daughter, who can you trust?

Well, we're going to have to think of a name now.

How about "Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien?"

I was talking about our daughter.

I was talking about us.

Oh, Danny. We've had this discussion.

You know how difficult it is for me to make decisions.

It's always been a problem.

I mean look what it took for me to decide to have the baby.

And then you asked me to move in with you...

Now marriage?

We have all this backwards, don't we? [ laughs ]

Backwards, forwards, what difference does it make?

I'm sure we'll both know when it's the right time to say "I do."

Oh. Ah!

Oh, my God. Oh!

I'll be right back.

You really want that dress?

Yes, I do.

It's a beautiful dress, but...Yes, it is.

It's very fitted, you know?Oh, well, I'll wear it soon.

Uh, do you take credit cards?

Yes. Do you want a belt too?Yes, please.

Okay. And you know you can wash it yourself.

It is a beautiful dress.KAY: Yes, it is.

We've been very successful with it.

And it's 100% cotton.Oh, good.

[ siren blaring ]

MAN: Hey, watch it!

[ tires screeching ]

Okay, thanks.

You have the right to remain silent...Thanks.

Oh, here, you do it.

What'd he do?

He ran north instead of south.

[ crowd cheering ]

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen! The lovely Ms. Ginger Franks!

[ crowd cheering ]

Please welcome His Honor, the Mayor of Los Angeles!

Well, sir, the old neighborhood will never be the same thanks to you.

No. It certainly wasn't easy, was it, Sal?

Let's get on with it.

[ cheering continues ]

Hello. The new movie, War and Love,what will we see in it?

Well, it's a very exciting, thrilling movie. I'm very thrilled about it.

Thank you.

What about the rumors of you and your leading man?

[ scoffs ] Well, you know how the media exaggerates.

[ laughs ] I look forward to seeing it.

Thank you.Thank you.

Bye bye.Your Honor. The Mayor of Los Angeles.

Your Honor, what an exciting night.

Can you tell us how you feel?

Well, Bill, tonight we celebrate an enormously successful joint venture

between the generous citizens of this city and its government.

Once in a state of utter decay,

we have restored the Wiltern to its former beauty.

GEORGE: How are you. Good to see you.

Enjoying your evening?

Good to see you again, fellas, how are you?

Enjoying the champagne?

Thank you.

Ginger.[ laughs ]

We did it. We did it! Congratulations!

Whoo! You've done me good, babe. [ laughs ]

Hanson come in and see you this afternoon?

Ah, yeah. It's not gonna work out.

Ah, damn it. He's a pinhead anyway.

How are you?This is George, He's the manager of the theater.

It's a pleasure to meet you. It really is.

[ laughs ]You look outstanding.

Why thank you.

Listen, hold this for a minute.

Why?I have to pee.

All right, but the show's gonna start in about five minutes.

Keep your hair on, babe.

It's imported champagne. So please enjoy it. It's from...

From France?No, Indiana. It's from Indiana.

How are you?MAN: Fine. How are you doing?

Good to see you.Listen, Kozlowski's across the room from us.

You want me to bring him over and see you?

Not on an empty stomach.Mr. Mayor, you need to see the man.

How are you? My pleasure.MAN: Fantastic, thank you.

Yeah...

Oh, the hell with him. Let him swing in the breeze.

[ women gossiping ]

[ indistinct chattering ]

Hello, how are you?WOMAN: Mr. Mayor, how are you?

I'm fine.It's a pleasure seeing you.

Okay.[ bell dings ]

It's time to go in, everybody.

Fantastic to see you again.

[ bell dings ]

[ women muttering ]

What's the hurry? These things never start on time.

Look what happened to 14 million on this joint.

But don't worry. It couldn't stand that and the rats. Come on.

[ bell dings ]

[ squeaking ]

[ rattling ]

[ gasping ]

I don't care what it is.

Well, anything you do find,

I want to let me know about it as soon as possible.

Okay? I don't care what it is, what you think it might be.

You get back to me, no matter what it is.

I want you to check that outer perimeter especially.

Hey, buddy.What's up, Scottie?

Ah, I got an actress named Ginger Franks.

She was across the street at the premiere last night.

Her manager saw her go into the john.

That's probably the last time he saw her.

Hey, Hero. I need to talk to you.

What does he want?I'm gonna let him tell you.

Look familiar?

Hey, you think I can go home now?

Who's he?

Some manager.

Damn it, Hero. I said I need to talk to you.

Sal, if you call me "Hero" one more time,

I'm going to pull your tongue out.

What are you getting so upset about?

What do you want?

The Mayor wants you down here.

The M.O. on this girl is the exactly the same as Simon Moon's.

Simon Moon is supposed to be dead, Sal.

You know that, and I know that,

but it don't make a difference what we think.

The press is beginning to smell Simon Moon

and the mayor wants this shit stopped in its tracks.

The city just sunk $14 million

into that theater trying to restore the neighborhood.

So what does he want?

He's scheduled a press conference at 5:00 p.m.

Be there by 4:30 so he can brief you on what to say.

That's what he wants.

[ sighs ]

[ sighs ]

Check and see if the girl's been sexually molested, okay?

Sure. Listen Danny, I'm sorry they're putting you through this.

I know you had enough of this fucking guy.

Apparently not enough.

You know the nice thing about it...

It allows them to feel that it's not a sin to be a victim of a sociopath...

I can guess why you called.

I saw the TV. You think he's back.

Yeah.

I know.

Do you think he died in the crash?

I prayed he did.

But when they told me they couldn't find his body,

then something inside me knew that nothing so evil could die so easily.

Terrifying, isn't it?

Hell, remember all those stories about you capturing Simon...

Then denying you'd done anything heroic at all.

I believed you.

You're one of the few.

Christ, it must have scared the shit out of you.

Yeah.

You know, why do men have such a hard time communicating...

Expressing fears? There's nothing wrong in being afraid, O'Brien.

You came up against a monster and he beat you.

That's heavy shit.

Why doesn't he rape them?

It's not sexual with him. He just loves to kill.

Why just women?

Well, it's my theory that he was abused as a child.

Probably even sexually molested by his mother and killing all those women...

That's his way of getting back at her.

There's one thing I know for sure though.

I gave him every test imaginable and they all came up zero.

He's got no thought processes. It's all pure instinct.

So he sees something he likes, kills it, and takes it home.

That's about it.

Listen, sorry that I couldn't be more help.

Yeah. Well, thanks for your time, Doc.

Yeah. Oh, listen, one thing.

Don't forget Simon's an animal

and like all animals he has got to have a place to hide,

someplace where he feels protected.

He can play with his victims.

Let's say for a minute that you're right about that fear stuff.

How do you shake it?

Don't even try. We've all got demons. Just live with it.

Hey, Doc, what if you can't?

What other choice you got?

What is this?O'BRIEN: Hi, how's it going?

Oh, great. I am having the greatest day.

Listen, I know I've told you this before, but,

if you want to make any changes around the house, go ahead and do it.

Oh, honey, how sweet of you. I hadn't thought of that.

The crib came.

It is so adorable I can't wait for you to see it.

How's your day going?

Fine. Any pains or anything?

Only from your daughter using my bladder as a punching bag all day.

She just wants out, that's all.

Look, I've got to go. Get some rest for this evening, okay?

Okay. Hurry home.

I love you.

I love you too. A lot. Bye.

[ carnival music playing ]

WOMAN: You want to go for a ride?

No, thanks.

Fine.

Damn it, Dwight! You scared the shit out of me!

Scared the shit out of you?Where have you been anyway?

[ sighs ]

All hell broke loose down at the precinct.

Some Reverend's running around like crazy screaming about his missing kid.

Guess where she was last seen?

At the Wiltern.

Detective O'Brien, can't you give us some details?

Hero, is the Terror back?

Come on, Danny, the public has a right to know.

Come on, Hero, we've always been good to you.

REPORTER: The people have a right to know.

We can't keep the press waiting forever.

Could you give him a break on the makeup?

Where is he, Sal?

...to the theater. Oh, great. Hi, Danny. Go right in.

Yeah, well I have the black dress...

Jesus Christ, O'Brien, where the hell have you been?

Yeah, okay Frank. Okay, Harriet, tell them we'll be out in a minute.

You are done.

[ sighs ]

Of course you know everyone here.

[ sighs ] As you can guess, the press is driving me nuts

with all this Simon Moon crap.

Now since you're the guy who caught him, all I need for you to do

is go out there and tell them that this starlet stuff is not his work.

I can't do that.

Why the hell not?Because I think he's back.

Come on, O'Brien. You can't be serious.

Wait a minute, now. There's only been one killing.

The police haven't established a thing.

You asked for my opinion. You got it.

Based on what, O'Brien?

On my observation of the body.

That's it?

And the disappearance of a girl yesterday,

both of whom were last seen at the Wiltern Theater.

That proves zip!

Fine. Then you go play Meet the Press.

No. No, damn it. They want to hear from you.

Danny, this is for you. I'm sorry Mr. Mayor, but they said this is urgent.

[ sighs ]

The lab report says the actress wasn't sexually molested.

There's no doubt in my mind.

It has to be Simon Moon.

You told me this morning... You said he was dead.

I said "supposed to be dead."

Now if he survived,

the man's a lunatic, there's no way he would wait this long

before he strikes again.O'BRIEN: Who says he waited?

He's probably got a playpen full of corpses stashed somewhere.

Then why was that actress left in the park?

Because he didn't like her.

Who the hell knows? Maybe in his sick mind,

she didn't fit in. I don't know.

You are painting a very depressing scenario, O'Brien.

I'll paint one you'll like even less.

A few months ago, Simon Moon comes limping back into LA,

wet,

hurt,

looking for someplace to hide.

He stumbles across the Wiltern Theater,

deserted, boarded up.

Just like Sinbad's.

He finds a way in.

Sets up house.

Just gets settled,

when what happens?

You, Mr. Mayor,

decide to blow 14 million bucks sprucing up his house.

Throw open the doors and invite the whole city

right into the bastard's living room.

How's that one?

Mr. Mayor, please. They're waiting.

Damn it, Harriet. In a minute!

[ door closes ]

[ sighs ]

Okay. All right.

Look...

We've got to come to some accord on this, O'Brien.

If the English translation for accord is "we lie," I pass.

What are you,

one of those cops who think that all that politicians care about are votes?

We all have our priorities.

Well just what do you think are my priorities, O'Brien?

Fourteen million, and your renovation project.

Well you're full of shit!Goddamnit, O'Brien, that's the Mayor you're talking to!

If it'd save a single woman's life,

I'd burn that theater to the ground tomorrow!

I'm not concerned about money, I'm concerned about copycats.

Three years ago Simon Moon slaughtered 22 women,

but 12 more were killed by whackos trying to grab a headline.

So if, and I say if you're right, if that maniac is back again,

this time I propose that we isolate him.

Tell the world he's dead. Keep the blood on his hands.

Keep those loonies off the streets.

It's a plan to save lives, O'Brien, and I don't need your half-assed moralizing,

I need your help.

All right. On one condition.

What's that?

We station an officer at the Wiltern Theater.

You got it.[ door opens ]

Mr. Mayor...

All right, all right. Come on,

let's get this damn thing over with. Come on.

Mayor Bronson has been joined by his assistants

Sal Cappelli and Detective Danny O'Brien

at this afternoon's press conference.

Of great concern, is Simon Moon,

or the Terror as he's sometimes called,

back in Los Angeles?

All right, let's open the floor for general questions.

MALE REPORTER: Mr. Mayor?FEMALE REPORTER: Your Honor?

Well, goodness, one at a time.

Uh, Mary Lou, from the Times.

Thank you.

Mr. Mayor, there are persistent rumors

that the young actress found murdered early this morning

near the Wiltern Theater was a victim

of Simon Moon, the Terror.

Is this true?

Well, as most of you know,

I've invited Detective Danny O'Brien in on this case,

and frankly, I haven't had a chance

to discuss his findings with him yet myself,

so, why don't I just call Detective O'Brien up here,

and we'll all learn the answers to these questions together.

Detective O'Brien.

[ reporters chattering ]

[ all clamoring ]

Did you see the body, Detective O'Brien?

Is it Simon Moon? Was it him who killed that girl at the Wiltern?

No.

Is that it?

Yes.

[ all clamoring ]

Your mom called today to wish me a happy birthday.

O'BRIEN: That's nice.

This is really sweet of you I'm really excited about tonight.

You know, you were right about this place, Danny.

There's not enough room for everything.

I told you.

Okay. So tell me how I look.

Please choose your words carefully.

You look great. I mean it.

You really look good.

If you like big.

[ laughs ]

We better go.

Oh, oh, is that your press conference?

...frankly, I haven't had a chance to

discuss his findings with him yet myself,

so, why don't I just call Detective O'Brien up here,

and we'll all learn the answers to those questions together Detective O'Brien.

[ reporters clamoring ]

FEMALE REPORTER 1: Did you see the body, Detective O'Brien?

FEMALE REPORTER 2: Is it Simon Moon?

Was it him who killed that girl at the Wiltern?

No.

REPORTER: Is that it?

O'BRIEN: Yes.

[ all clamoring ]

You have a wonderful way with words.

And so we get the official word from a man who ought to know,

Detective Dan O'Brien, who you may recall,

nearly three years ago earned the nickname "Hero"

when he single-handedly apprehended Simon Moon,

also known as the Terror.

I'm Tiiu Leek reporting live for Channel 5, now back to the studio.

I wish they'd stop that "Hero" crap.

People need heroes.

They picked you. Why are you letting it bother you so much?

Because it's making me out to be something I'm not.

You've earned that nickname 100 times since then and everybody knows it.

Now let's drop that subject or I'm not going to go out for dinner.

I refuse to spend the evening

listening to my future husband put himself down.

You're a feisty little bugger for someone so pregnant.

You know us Welsh.

[ both laughing ]

Good evening.KAY: Hello.

Uh, it's a little hard for me.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Ah!No problem.

What do you think?Mmm. Very impressive.

That's the whole idea.

Good evening.Good evening.

O'Brien.

Mr. O'Brien, of course.

Good evening, madam.Good evening.

Your table is ready for you, sir. Please follow me.

Excuse me.

Sir? Excuse me.

The lady. A little bit more please.

Just a little bit more, please.

Thank you.

Sorry. Sorry.

Enjoy your dinner.Thank you.

Have a pleasant evening, sir.Thank you.

Like them?

Oh, Danny. Oh, they're beautiful.

Read the card.

[ laughs ]

"I love you." Ooh, a secret admirer.

A secret admirer.

Well, whoever he is, he's ordered champagne too.

Oh!

Well I guess my secret admirer forgot that I shouldn't have champagne in my condition.

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, I...

I'll have a sip.

Happy birthday, honey.

WOMAN: Hi, stranger. You look great.

[ sighs ]

You okay?

I'm fat, ugly, and getting old.

Other than that, I'm terrific.

Honey, you're pregnant.

You're supposed to be fat.

But you look awful beautiful.

Honestly.

Thank you.

Well, let's order. I always feel better with food.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Honey, that was a great meal.

It's not over yet.

[ patrons gasping ]

[ piano music playing ]

ALL RECITING: Birthdays come but once each year,

so we send this message clear,

happy birthday, Kay my dear,

happy birthday till next year.

[ all laughing ]

WOMAN: Happy birthday.MAN: Happy birthday.

Okay, make a wish.

What are you looking at?

The sprinklers. I know they're going to go off any minute.

[ laughs ] Come on honey, make a wish. Blow out the candles.

Could you ask them to take this away, please?

You don't like it?

Honey, I love it.

It's me I don't like.

I'm just feeling very confused.

I never thought I could feel this confused.

I'm a shrink for Christ's sake.

[ laughing nervously ]

[ laughs ]

Come on honey, blow out the candles. Make a wish, though.

I wish I wasn't feeling so confused. That's what I wish.

I wish...

I wish I hadn't given up my cozy little apartment,

that was my independence.

I wish I hadn't taken a sabbatical.

I think I really need to work, Danny, don't you?

I wish I could turn the calendar back, but I can't.

I wish I wasn't 36.

But I am.

I wish I didn't have to worry so much if this kid was going to be normal.

[ crying ]

And I wish I didn't look like the Goodyear blimp.

That's a lot of wishes for one birthday.

[ both laughing ]

Everything will be fine, I promise.

You promise?

Cross my heart.

KAY: I'm hungry again.

You're always hungry.

[ laughs ]

Oh, I'm so happy they didn't do the typical LA number and tear this place down.

It's beautiful. Look at that, isn't it beautiful?

Yeah, it is.

We won't be here long, I just gotta talk to Bill for a second.

Well, well. A guy and a girl, and me and a ghetto blaster.

You figure it out, cause I sure can't.

[ laughs ] Hiya, Kay.

Oh, it's good to see you.You too, dear.

You are the most beautiful pregnant lady I have ever seen.

I bet you say that to all the pregnant ladies.

No, normally I run when I see one.

[ all laughing ]No,

I'm not gonna hug you. The last time I hugged you, you almost strangled me.

I want you to meet George Dankis.

He's the manager of the theater.

How do you do.How do you do.

KAY: Hello.Hello.

Well, I hear I have you to thank for this overtime.

Don't thank me.

I just asked for the dumbest guy they knew, and they sent you.

[ all laughing ]

Kay, how do you put up with this guy?

Not easily.I understand.

Anybody care for a cup of coffee?

Not for me, thanks. How about you, hon?

I'd like some water, if that's all right?

Certainly, well, right this way. Excuse us please?

Let's take a walk.

Okay. What's up?

We're looking for Simon Moon.

Simon Moon?

What makes you think he's going to show up here?

I don't think he'll show up here. I think he is here.

How do you know that?

Just a feeling.

When was it built?Well, it was completed in 1931.

I'm... I'm very happy for you.Thank you.

My wife had a C-section, but she sailed right on through it,

and the baby came out, well, she looks like an angel.

Nothing like me.

[ both laughing ]

I have a photograph if you'd like to see?

Sure.I was hoping you'd ask.

There she is. Isn't she a beauty?Mmm.

What a beautiful baby.

Yeah, well, all baby's are beautiful.[ phone ringing ]

Your baby's going to be beautiful too. Just excuse me for a second.

Hello, Manager.

No, you're supposed to...

Weren't you supposed to be...Excuse me, the ladies room?

Ladies room? Upstairs to the right.Okay.

My friend,

you mean to tell me that I'm missing a warm bed and a hot body

just because of a feeling?

If you don't like it, Bill, I can get somebody to replace you real quick.

Take it easy, Dan. I'm just joking.

Then I want you to take this assignment goddamn seriously.

All right, I will.

I will, I promise.

Okay. Buzz me if you hear anything.

Yeah, right.

I mean anything.

The slightest noise.

Okay?

Huh?

Kay. What the hell...

Oh. [ sighs ]

This is... This is no time to tell me...Where's Kay?

She went to the ladies room right up there.

Tell me you'll be here...

Oh! Oh...

Do you have to go to the bathroom?

Yes.

Do you mind if I go in with you?

Danny?

I'll wait by the door then.

I'll just wait till I get home then.

Okay.

You going to tell me what's going on?

What do you mean?

Well, you're acting really weird.I'm acting weird?

Yeah.I didn't throw my birthday cake at the waiter.

I didn't do that.No, but you were thinking it.

ROBINSON: So how did you get into this business?

GEORGE: My wife's father owns the theater.

ROBINSON: Figures.

You don't have a spare key to this place, do you?

Oh. Yeah.

Remember, if you hear anything, Bill...

Kay, will you take this guy home, please?

There you go.

All right. We're going.

Good night.Good night.

Bye.Good night.

Uh, should I leave all the lights on, just in case, or...

Just the work lights.The work lights will be fine.

Oh.

What kind of music do you dig?Mozart.

[ laughs ]

Mozart.

Yeah. Uh. Yeah, well, good night.

Good night.

This is about Simon Moon, isn't it?

You want, uh, do you want to tell me about it?

Yeah.

[ groans ]

You okay?

Ooh!

Oh, Danny!

Oh, shit!

[ tires squealing ]

Breathe, honey, breathe.

[ breathing deeply ]

That a girl, that's it, there you go.

[ whistling ]

[ classical music playing ]

O'BRIEN: Breathe now, breathe. [ shushing ]

KAY: Okay, I think they're about five minutes apart. Let's just be careful.

Let's relax.

Okay, we're at the hospital.Stay calm, stay calm.

KAY: All right. Danny, Danny?

Where the hell is everybody?

KAY: Danny, I'm going to need some help.

Damn it.

Ohh. Ahh.Okay, easy. Okay. Stay calm.

Okay, we're here. We're here. Breathe.

[ puffing ]

They're three minutes apart! We're expecting a baby! Call the doctor right now!

What's the doctor's name?

Doctor, uh...

Just stay calm...Doctor, uh, it's a woman. Doctor, uh...

Haskins.Haskins. Doctor Haskins.

They're starting again.Okay.

[ moaning ]

I will never do this again!

NURSE: Dr. Haskins, please.Breathe.

[ both puffing ]

What's the patient's name, please?Uh, O'Brien. I mean Kay, uh...

Kennedy.

Yes. I have your patient here, a Mrs. Kennedy.

Yes, she's in active labor now. Thank you.Breathe, breathe. Breathe.

She's on her way, sir.Okay. Breathe.

Breathe.

Danny!

[ classical music playing ]

[ breathing heavily ]

Where the hell's the doctor?She'll be here soon.

Where does she live, New Jersey?

Calm down, she's on her way.

Hold her hand. Tell her how proud of her you are.

Honey, I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud.

It'll be over before you know it.

Easy, don't rub her skin off.

[ groaning ]

[ breathing heavily ]

[ sighs ]

What is this shit?

Okay, my friend, uh, look, I'm sorry, okay?

I didn't expect anybody to be here.

Just thought I'd come in and, uh, sneak in and get a work out,

without disturbing anyone. You know what I mean?

Hey, look now, I don't want any trouble, and I know you don't.

I hope you don't.

So, let me just get my gear, okay?

You and I can call it a draw and, uh,

I'll just leave you alone in this place and...

...nobody will bother you, okay?

[ Robinson groans ]

[ wailing ]

DOCTOR: Gently does it.

Oh, she's so cute. Oh...

She's beautiful.

My two beautiful ladies.

Born on the same day.DOCTOR: Dan, hold her head.

What do you think of Angela?

Angela?

Angela.

DOCTOR: Dan, Kay needs some rest now.

You go home, relax, get some sleep.

Um, I'll just get some coffee.

It's all right. Why don't you go on home. I'll be fine.

I'm not tired, really. I feel fine.

[ radio static ]

Hello, Bill?

Danny, it's Dwight.

[ indistinct chattering ]

[ siren blaring ]

Danny, I'm sorry.

Did you check the theater?

Bridges has an army of his men in there now.

Danny, we found his shoulder holster draped over a seat.

Come on guys, let's bring him in.

God. Why didn't you listen?

Nothing. There's nothing there. The whole goddamn theater is empty.

I've got all the men searching the neighborhood now.

I want the theater checked again.

O'Brien, we have checked it from top to bottom.

Now check it from bottom to top.

Oh, shit.

Come on. Let's go get the men.

BRIDGES: All right, everybody, back in.COP: All right, guys, let's go.

Back in there again, let's go!

COP 1: Somebody hit the lights!COP 2: I got 'em!

BRIDGES: All right, get every seat up flat.

[ cops chattering indistinctly ]

All right, keep your eyes sharp. Come on, you guys, let's go.

Jim, Todd. You guys look over there.

Can I borrow that light?

Oh, shit.

Want me to go with you?

No, wait here.

[ gasps ]

BRIDGES: What am I... Check over there to the right.

Yeah, and then the center also.

I want those exit doors checked.

Hey, one of you guys hand me a flashlight over here.

COP: Here you go.

COP 2: Be careful, man.

COP 3: Be careful.

All right, I want you to search these bins in here.

COP: Yeah, the view's great.

BRIDGES: Watch your ass, O'Brien.

Tell me about it.

Nothing.

You know, you think you'd get used to this stuff.

Hey, good night, partner.

Don't worry, buddy, we'll get him.

[ elevator dings ]

[ screams ]

[ horn blaring ]

HIGHWATER: Oh, listen, one thing.

Don't forget Simon's an animal,

and like all the animals, he needs someplace where he can hide,

where he can feel protected, and play with his victims.

Danny, this is all we got left on the Wiltern.Thanks.

There you are, you son of a bitch.

[ baby gurgling ]

She looks like you, doesn't she?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

[ baby cooing ]

What's wrong, Danny?

I know where he is.

You found Simon Moon?

Do you have to go?

[ laughs ]

That was a stupid question.

You're right.

Angela is a beautiful name.

I love you.

Yeah. Dwight!

Yeah?O'BRIEN: Dwight, it's me.

Hey, hey, Danny, where are you?

I'm on my way to the Wiltern.

Not again?

He's there. Who's there?

[ cocking gun ]Simon Moon.

What? Listen there's a room upstairs,

used to be a prop room room during the old vaudeville days.

It's been plastered over for years.

Get a squad there and I'll meet you there in half an hour.

Yeah, sure.

Right away.

Danny, you wait there, okay?

You wait for your back-up.

Danny?

DWIGHT: Danny! Danny!

Jesus.

COP: Don't touch anything.

You all right?

You gotta get to a hospital.

COP 2: We don't need an ambulance, we need a coroner.
