[Max] This is my boss, Jonathan hart,

a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max. I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy,

'cause when they met, it was murder.

[Theme music playing]

[Barking]

[Jennifer] Mmm.

That's delicious.

What did you put in it, fresh mint?

Candy cane, stirred to perfection. Ah.

Don't you love Christmas?

Everything takes on such a special glow.

Yeah, the air is crisp.

Snuggling by an open fire.

People hurrying home, loaded down with packages, bundled up tight.

Hot chocolate and whipped cream. [Chuckles]

And freshly baked cookies.

Which reminds me,

where are the cookies?

Max!

Are the cookies ready yet?

Here they are, fresh from the oven.

Something wrong?

Did I get something on me?

Why are you dressed like that?

I'm going to palm Springs next weekend.

Ninety-two degrees, a lounge at the pool,

and a pina colada.

But, Max, it's Christmas!

Yeah. Christmas in California.

Don't you just love it?

Here, try one of these, they're great.

No, thanks. Maybe later.

Okay, but I only make them once a year.

[Phone rings]

I'll get it.

Hart residence.

Just a second, please.

It's for you, Mrs. H. Dr. Stope.

Oh.

Ah. Hello, Mark.

What?

She is?

We'll be right there.

It's about Lisa.

She's coming around.

Oh.

[Man] Cold for the count of three, followed by the hot compress.

Come on, Lisa.

You just moved it without my help.

Try again.

Come on through, Lisa.

Just squeeze my hand.

Light.

Dark.

Those are your choices, Lisa.

Choose the light.

Look at the light.

[Knocking on door] Come in.

Doctor?

Mrs. Hart, Mr. Hart.

[Sighs]

How is she?

She's just on the edge.

But I thought you said she was coming out of it.

[Dr. Stope] She is, but she's slipping.

Mrs. Hart, would you try talking to her?

She's used to your voice.

Of course.

Lisa?

Lisa, it's Jennifer hart.

Can you hear me?

You're very, very close.

All you have to do is come a little farther.

We're gonna try and help you.

I'll bring the light out further.

Keep talking to her, Mrs. Hart.

Lisa.

Lisa, look at the light.

Look at the light, try to see the light.

Focus on the light, listen to me.

Try to move into the light.

Try to come into the light.

Come on, Lisa.

Try.

Lisa.

There're a lotta people out here who love you.

Try.

That's it.

That's it.

I lo...

Love you, too.

Oh.

You...

[Chuckles]

[Reporter] The miracle of love may have been the medicine for 19-year-old Lisa kerrigan,

the patient who's occupied room 410, here at crestview hospital,

for the last seven years.

In a tragic automobile accident that killed her parents,

Lisa was thrust into darkness, and for all practical purposes, for five years

she was considered dead.

For the last two years, volunteers and professionals

with the Jonathan hart neuro-physiological program here never lost hope.

They fought, they loved, they tried new techniques, they stayed by Lisa's side.

Until today, in a story appropriate for the season,

they won that long fight.

Lisa kerrigan came out of her dark night.

Her doctor, Walter sherin reports that Lisa's memory is still vague,

but the prognosis is excellent.

She has made a miraculous recovery, and will have the rest of a happy, healthy life

to piece together the past, and to make up for those tragic lost years.

For kbla, this is Clay Garrett.

[Gasps]

It's all right, Lisa, it's all right.

It's all right. You just had a bad dream.

But...

It seemed so real.

You wanna tell me about it?

It was mom and dad. The...

I don't remember.

Can you get back to sleep?

I think so.

[Softly] Okay.

Mark...

[Softly] What?

Will you stay?

Oh, sure.

[Softly] Okay, now, close your eyes.

Think of something beautiful.

[Whispering] Now, get some rest.

[Lisa] Is the merry-go-round still up by the zoo?

[Jennifer] In Griffith park? I think so.

What about that statue?

Oh, and the place where they keep the horses.

You know, I haven't been there in a long time, I don't really know.

Maybe we should plan a trip and find out if it's still there.

They're so pretty.

The flowers? Aren't they beautiful?

Do you think I could pick one?

I'm not looking.

I think I'll give it to Mark.

That's okay, isn't it?

He'd love it, I'm sure.

[Chuckles] We had lots of flowers at our house.

You did?

Dr. Sherin told me the house burned down after the accident.

Oh.

You know, we have a beautiful garden at our house.

Perhaps one day you would like to come and visit.

Think it would be okay?

Oh, I think I could talk to Dr. Sherin.

Then you could have the distinct pleasure of meeting our dog, freeway.

Freeway? Uh-huh.

He's really big? No, no.

He's at a medium.

Well, what breed is he?

That's a very good question.

I tell you what. You come, you take a look at him

and you tell us. [Chuckles]

[Jennifer] Isn't that lovely? [Lisa] Mmm-hmm.

[Jennifer] You know the name of that?

Jennifer's become very attached to Lisa.

It's hardly surprising.

She sat with Lisa for almost two years, two, three times a week.

What is Lisa's prognosis?

Well, physically she's as healthy as any 19-year-old girl.

The problem is, she is missing seven years of her life.

Mark said that she's experiencing nightmares?

She's trying to remember what happened.

And at the same time, she's scared.

Yesterday, she woke up, and found out about her parents.

But I think the dreams will fade as the memory returns.

Does she know about the house?

I told her about the fire.

She wants to go back.

I think it's too soon.

Going over that cliff,

she's not ready to remember that.

Would it be better if she didn't remember?

[Dr. Sherin] In Lisa's case, remembering is the best thing.

But, at the proper time.

[Jennifer] There's so much she's trying to recapture.

She's like a little bird.

Anything else, Mr. Hart? Darling?

Just some coffee. Two coffees, please.

Thank you.

She needs so much, darling.

They've got her in a bungalow at the hospital.

She needs to get away from the hospital and all the doctors, move into a home.

Maybe even have a tutor, someone who can help her catch up.

She's, inside, like a 12-year-old girl.

She needs someone to help teach her she's a woman.

What is it?

You're one of a kind, you know that?

I prefer to think of us as a matched pair.

Well, what do you think?

What do I think?

About what?

About having Lisa move in with us for a while.

I think that's a very good idea.

As long as you don't get too emotionally involved.

I'm already emotionally involved.

With you.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We had some trouble in Lisa's room last night.

[Jennifer] Is she all right? Ah, she's fine.

She stayed in the bungalow.

We needed the room for another patient.

I have some good news for you.

I spoke to the social worker on Lisa's case.

She sees no reason why Lisa shouldn't stay with you until formal arrangements can be made.

There are some distant relatives in the east that have to be notified.

Well, that sounds exactly like what Lisa needs.

A change of environment with the holidays coming up. [Jennifer] Mmm.

Come in.

Hi, Jennifer.

Mr. Hart.

Ms. Kerrigan.

I think you better call me Lisa.

I think you better call me Jonathan.

Okay.

Well, Mark said you wanted to see me.

Would you like to come and stay with us for a while?

It's okay?

It's up to you.

When?

Soon as we get you packed up.

Great! [Chuckles]

I'll tell you what. We'll meet you at the front desk.

All right, dear. See you later, Mr... Um, Jonathan.

Okay, Lisa.

[Jennifer] This is it?

This is all your clothing?

Yeah, Mark gave it to me.

I didn't need too many clothes just lying in bed.

Well, that means the first order of business, is we go shopping.

[Giggles] [Laughs]

[Knocking]

Come in.

Hi, Mark.Hi. Oh.

Am I interrupting something? No, no, no.

We were just discussing Lisa's wardrobe.

Oh.

You haven't opened your Christmas present.

Well, I thought I should wait.

No, go ahead. I'm not going to be with you on Christmas day.

[Giggling]

Oh, look at that! Isn't that great?

This is for me?

Mmm-hmm.

Merry Christmas.

Far out!

Oh...

I mean...

Aw, it's great.

Thanks.

You're not going to forget us now, are you?

[Jennifer] Hi. [Lisa] I'm ready.

[Orderly] Here she is.

I think you're about one signature away from parole.

Uh-huh. Mmm-hmm.

There you are. Merry Christmas.

You too.

[Jennifer] I think we're home free.

[Lisa] Did you bring freeway? [Jennifer] Ah, no, he's at home.

[Max] She's a gem, Mr. H. A real doll.

She told me I was adorable.

Was that before or after the third piece of mince pie?

Hey, a kid's gotta eat!

She gave freeway a workout, too. I don't think he's chased a ball so much since he was a kid.

Ah, she's out like a light.

Want some milk, Mrs. H?

No, thanks, Max. Ijust wanna relax for a minute.

You're the one who looks like they're out like a light.

I haven't answered so many questions since I left high school.

Why don't you take the day off tomorrow, Mrs. H?

I could take Lisa out to the track.

Gotta meet some buddies there, and I got a sure thing in the third. It's a claiming race.

Uh, Max, I think she'd prefer to go on a picnic.

At the moment, I think bed is in order.

Good night, Max. Good night, Max.

Thanks for all the extra help. Good night, folks.

Freeway, I know just how you feel. [Freeway whimpers]

[Screams]

[Jennifer] Lisa? [Door opens]

Lisa.

Ooh, it's all right, sweetheart.

[Sobbing] I saw a man.

He was hitting them.

[Sighs] It's only a nightmare.

Everything's all right. You're perfectly safe here.

He was going to hurt us.

Shh...

No one's going to hurt you, Lisa.

We're here together.

[Freeway barking] [Max] Everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine, Max.

Just a little nightmare.

It's fine now, isn't it? Hmm?

Look, we're all here. Even freeway.

[Chuckles]

Ah, you see, there's that smile.

[Chuckling]

You see, it is better now, isn't it?

Do you think you could get some sleep?

Yeah. Good.

Then I think you ought to try, because

tomorrow we're going to go and we're gonna clean out those stores.

[Both chuckle]

Night, night.

Good night.

Sleep tight.

Good night, Lisa. Good night.

Come on, boy. Come on.

[Barking]

Good night.

Good night, Lisa. Good night.

[Door closes]

[Jonathan] If you keep feeding them, they're gonna be too heavy to fly.

[All laughing]

[Lisa] No, I think they're really hungry.

Well, they're not the only ones. I'm starving.

Mmm, what's for lunch?

Let's see, we have cheese, cold sausage,

and beautiful pate.

Pate? What is it?

It's a lot of different kinds of liver

all ground up together with herbs and spices.

Something tells me that you'd rather have a hot dog. Am I right?

No, it... it's okay. I'll eat it.

[Jonathan] Look, wait, wait, wait, hold it. Hold it.

We'll get some hot dogs,

and some sodas, all right? All right.

You wanna come with us?

I think I'll stay and feed the pigeons some more.

[Jennifer laughs] Okay.

Look out!

[Jonathan] Lisa! Lisa.

It's all right.

You're fine now.

I heard him yell, but I got scared.

I think we owe you some thanks.

I'm Jonathan hart.

This is my wife, Jennifer, and this is Lisa kerrigan.

There's no thanks necessary. I'm just glad to see she's all right.

Jeff Brogan.

I think we've had enough picnic for one day.

What about my hot dog?

I'm sure Max would be delighted to make you one at home.

You're more than welcome to join us for lunch, if you'd like, Mr. Brogan.

Well, if it's no imposition.

I would like to talk to you.

It's no imposition. But, uh...

Let's do it at home.

I'll be honest with you, Mr. Hart,

I have a professional interest in Lisa.

Professional?

I'm a psychologist affiliated with the university.

I've been doing extensive research on amnesia victims.

And when I saw her at the hospital, I decided to follow you.

Lisa's got seven years to make up.

I'd love to be there when she does it.

Well, um...

She's had quite a remarkable recovery already.

As a matter of fact, her doctors think that

for certain she's going to get her memory back.

It's more when than if.

Well, don't rush it.

Pushing her into remembering too fast

can be just as traumatic as the amnesia itself.

Well, I agree with that.

You, obviously, want to get involved in some way, is that right?

Well, Lisa's going to need a tutor.

Someone to help her catch up on all that missed school work.

It will be good for Lisa, and it will help me with my research.

[Jennifer] Well...

What do you think?

[Whistles]

You like it?

[Jonathan] Oh, you look beautiful.

Absolutely, a knock-out.

Jennifer did my hair

and she showed me how to highlight. [Chuckles]

Ah, darling, you're a master artist.

Well, I didn't have all that much to do. Look at the subject.

[Jonathan] It's hard not to.

Do you want to see my other dresses?

I could go upstairs and change.

Sure. [Jennifer] Why don't we keep them guessing?

Besides, I think they've had about as much as they can take for one day.

[Lisa giggles] Soup's on.

Holy cow! Who's that?

It's me.

The voice is familiar, but it don't look like "me."

No, it's "me" me.

Okay, "me me." Come on, your hot dog awaits.

[Jennifer] Darling. What do you think?

Well, it's terrific. Like it?

What's the occasion?

The murder-mystery movie premiere tomorrow night.

I thought we picked out black for that?

Well, you picked out black, but I thought the black was too black.

Anyway, in time you'll learn to love my blue chiffon.

Correction...

In time I'll learn to love you in your blue chiffon.

Not out of it?

Oh, that could be arranged.

Good.

By the way, I talked to the university today.

[Jennifer] Good!

Yeah, Jeff's credentials are very impressive.

[Jennifer] Oh, that's wonderful.

Did you say anything to Lisa?

She thought it was a terrific idea.

But then of course...

She would think it was a terrific idea if Max was going to be her teacher.

Now, that's not a bad idea. Oh.

Max is a good teacher.

I suppose, if you wanted to learn that a full house beats a royal flush.

It's the other way around.

It is?

Don't you believe me?

I always thought a full house beat a royal flush.

Maybe you're the one that should take the lessons.

[Phone ringing]

Hello. [Jonathan] Jeff? This is Jonathan hart.

Oh, hello. How's Lisa?

Oh, she's doing fine.

We told her about your idea of your wanting to tutor her,

and she seemed very excited about it.

When can you be here?

Well, give me a couple of hours.

I'll see you then. Bye-bye.

[Jennifer] We won't be late, Max.

Now, Max has all the telephone numbers, whatever you need.

The police, the fire department, everybody.

Uh, darling, we better go.

Oh, right, uh...

Oh, by the way, there's leftover chicken from the barbeque in the refrigerator.

Anybody gets hungry, just help yourself.

Mrs. H, the movie's only two hours long.

I know, I just want everybody to be happy.

[Chuckles] Enjoy the film. Thank you.

Bye. Good night.

[Jennifer] Night, night. [Jonathan] Night, Max.

[Crowd cheering]

Why do I feel I've seen this picture before?

You have, about a thousand times.

[Music playing]

Oh, hi, Jeff. I didn't hear you.

Is everything all right?

What do you know about the eagles?

Eagles, uh, birds of prey.

The bald eagle is the American national bird.

Not the bird, the music.

The group, the eagles.

Hmm, not much, I'm afraid.

The past 10 years I've spent with my nose buried in a book.

Is that what I'm going to be doing?

You'll still have plenty of time to listen to your tapes.

I'll check back with you later. Okay.

[Increases volume]

[Man in movie chuckling]

[Woman in movie] I know you're joking, but hypothetically,

could you kill someone?

[Man] Of course. Just joking, that is.

He's not joking.

[Woman] What makes a man think like a killer?

[Man] I'm surprised that you would ask that, my dear.

She's setting him up.

She did it. [Audience member] Shh.

[Woman] Hmm, I was thinking the same of you. [Audience member] Shh...

I'm telling you, professor, she really is something else.

I thought that old fish pond out back was long dead.

But she kind of leaned over it,

talked, and said something,

and two fish popped up. [[Laughing]

Well, she certainly is a charmer.

Christmas fudge cookies.

Mrs. H made them.

One million calories apiece.

But I don't suppose one or two would kill me.

Go ahead, help yourself.

Well, you only live once.

[Woman] Tell me the truth.

You think that I'm the pantyhose murderer? It's him.

[Man] I'm sorry, but, yes, I do.

He's right.

[Woman] I assure you... She did it.

You have nothing to worry about.

Max?

[Barking]

Beg your pardon?

Come along, my sweetheart.

I have a nice surprise for you.

Darling, I think I'll call home and see if Lisa's okay.

Darling, she's got two of the best babysitters in the world with her.

I'm sure she's fine.

I know, I just would feel better if I checked on her.

[Woman] I don't like it. It frightens me.

[Man] So much seems to frighten you, recently.

[Woman] Let's talk about us for a moment, shall we?

[Man] There is no us...

and there never can be.

Darling, you didn't have to come out here, you'll miss the movie.

About a pantyhose killer? Sheer nonsense.

[Scoffs]

[Phone ringing]

Nobody's answering.

[Music playing]

You scared me. You keep doing that.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I just...

Would you dance with me?

It would be my pleasure.

Something the matter?

I'm not sure.

[Vehicle approaching]

Someone's here.

What's wrong?

Uh...

I'm not sure, but I feel very peculiar.

Uh, you wait here.

Lisa?

[Jennifer] Lisa?

Lisa.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

What's wrong?

[Police radio chatter]

She finally managed to get to sleep.

I'm about to let you all do the same.

Nothing more to add?

[Max] Nothing.

I was talking to Jeff here, and...

That's all she wrote.

It's about the same for me, lieutenant.

I, uh, went upstairs to check on Lisa,

got dizzy, managed to get down here and...

[Max] Freeway got the worst of it.

He got shoved into the utility closet.

Nothing missing from the house.

No damage done, except the back door lock.

I don't think it was an attempted robbery, lieutenant.

Why do you say that, Mr. Hart?

Because burglars don't usually use drugs on the people that they Rob.

That's right. They don't.

So, what do you think it's all about?

There're a few things I wanna look into.

I'll get back to you in the morning. I'll show you out.

Thank you. Good night.

Good night. Good night, lieutenant.

Darling, let's check on Lisa.

[Jennifer] Lisa?

Hi.

I thought you would be asleep.

It wasn't an accident.

What wasn't?

My parents' death.

He hurt them.

He hit them with something.

Who hit them?

I don't know.

He was in our house, and daddy walked in.

He was angry.

I can't remember.

It was in a car, and it was an accident.

No, no, that was later. He was there.

He hit them in the house!

I want to go home.

Lisa... I want you to take me home.

Please...

We'll take you home in the morning.

I just talked with the hospital

and Dr. Sherin's in the operating theater and they don't seem to be able to find Mark.

Well, at least you've had experience with things like this.

Well, just keep the shock to a minimum, don't try to force anything.

Uh, Max, if lieutenant hucko wants me tell him we're out at the kerrigan place, will you?

Will do. See you later.

He pushed us!

He pushed the car off the road!

Your father lost control of the car, Lisa.

No!

[Sniffles] Um...

The playroom was down here.

And, uh...

My room was over there.

And, um...

Up in here was the living room.

Daddy knew him.

He knew him from the college.

He was trying to steal our money and he...

He killed them!

Oh, he killed them!

It was you.

You killed them!

You're confused. You're mixing things together.

[Crying] Oh, god. You killed them.

You hit them and then you put us in the car.

Back off! I'll kill her.

The patient who died in Lisa's old hospital room was murdered.

Don't try to follow us. I've got nothing to lose.

You can't run.

For the girl's sake, you better hope you're wrong.

[Engine starts]

[Horn honking]

Hang on.

[Tires screech]

Here you are. Oh...

Thanks, darling.

What's the matter?

Oh, I don't know, it seems so quiet around here.

Mark and Lisa are at the stones concert.

Max is probably getting a great tan in palm Springs.

Just doesn't seem like Christmas without his fruitcake.

[Scratching sounds] What was that?

What was what?

I thought I heard something at the front door.

Oh, I didn't hear anything.

Did you let freeway out?

Yes.

Oh, maybe it was him. Let's take a look.

Open the door.

[All] ♪ silent night ♪ oh!
