[TIRES SCREECHING]
OK, WHY PROFESSOR NEUMEYER IS NOT DEAD.
SOMEONE WANT TO HAVE A GO AT THE PHYSICS?
OH, COME ON, PEOPLE.
Boy: UH, GRAVITY, SIR?
Girl: TERMINAL VELOCITY.
Second boy: THE SPEED YOU WERE DRIVING.
Third boy: THE DOG.
DOG IS RANDOM. DOG IS DESTINY.
DOG IS THE REASON PROFESSOR NEUMEYER STANDS HERE
INSTEAD OF BEING SKEWERED TO HIS TRUCK SEAT. D-O-G.
THANK YOU, MR. AXELROD.
THIS IS NOT A GRADUATE CLASS.
COULD YOU PLEASE CONFINE YOUR COMMENTS
TO THE APPROPRIATE VENUE?
[AHEM]
MAKE THE MOST OF HIM, KIDDIE-WINKS.
HE IS THE BEST PHYSICS PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER HAVE.
ALL RIGHT, PLEASE OPEN YOUR BOOKS
TO WILLARD, PAGE 16, "PRINCIPLES OF PARTICLES."
SO, I MEANT TO WORK ON REALITY SETS ALL SPRING,
BUT I GOT HIJACKED BY THIS IDEA--
NO OFFICE HOURS TODAY, CARL.
BELIEVE ME, IT'S OK.
HERE. I JUST NEED YOU TO SIGN HERE,
AND I NEED YOU TO SIGN THERE.
NO, I'M NOT YOUR THESIS ADVISER, CARL.
CONDUCTOR POPOVICH--
POPOVICH IS A USELESS COLLECTION OF SUBATOMIC--
THIS ENTIRE LOBOTOMIZED FACULTY--
CARL, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME.
I'M NOT YOUR THESIS ADVISER.
DO YOU KNOW M.I.T. WANTED ME? AND CHICAGO, CAL TECH.
I CHOSE THIS OVERPRICED WIDGET FACTORY
BECAUSE OF YOU. STOCKHOLM--
YOUR REFUTATION OF WITTEN'S STRING THEORY APPLICATIONS,
YOU ANTICIPATED A MEMBRANE. THAT'S--
THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
YEAH, BUT IT IS STILL IN THERE,
AND I WANT THAT.
CARL, YOU CAN BE EXTREMELY ANNOYING.
I CAN?
YES. DO YOU KNOW THAT?
DAMN, CARL. SOCIAL I.Q.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT WHAT TODAY IS...
FOR YOU. I MEAN, THE DEATH OF YOUR WIFE,
THE BIRTH OF YOUR DAUGHTER.
THAT'S ENOUGH. UH-UH-UH.
PERSONAL LIFE OFF LIMITS, CARL.
RIGHT. OK. SO WHEN I RESEARCH A SUBJECT,
I RESEARCH IT.
LIKE THIS IDEA I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
BASICALLY SINCE MARCH.
HERE. YOU FORGOT YOUR JACKET.
WHEN YOU GET A LOOK AT MY SPECIAL PROJECT,
TRUST ME, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
Woman on telephone: DENORVO INSURANCE.
CLAUDIA, IT'S ME. ARE YOU BUSY?
YOU SOUND STRESSED. EVERYTHING OK?
WELL, NOT REALLY.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I'M CALLING ABOUT AN INSURANCE ISSUE.
AND I AM STRESSED.
WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT.
HA HA HA! NO WAY.
IT'S AMAZING, HUH?
OH, MY GOSH.
UH-OH. UH-OH.
COME ON.
IT'S STUCK.
IT'S STUCK. OH!
GLAD IT HAPPENED AFTER YOU DROPPED ME OFF AT SCHOOL.
YEAH. ME, TOO.
THANKS.
DID MY MOM LIKE POP-TARTS?
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
SHE EVER ATE A POP-TART.
BUT...
WOULD SHE LIKE THEM?
YEAH, I THINK SHE WOULD, IF SHE EVER TRIED ONE...
BUT ONLY ON WEEKENDS.
HEY. LOOK.
WHAT IS THAT?
IT LOOKS KIND OF LIKE A LAPTOP.
DON'T TOUCH IT.
HEY, LOOK! IT'S GOT YOUR NAME ON IT.
WHAT? COME ON. PICK IT UP.
COME ON.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
I WANT YOU TO GO STAND BACK THERE.
OK, DAD.
THIS IS, UH...
IT'S LOCKED.
MAYBE SOMEONE KNEW THAT YOU WERE
GONNA BE HERE TO FIND IT.
YEAH.
COME ON, POP.
A BIRTHDAY PUZZLE.
WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT, RIGHT?
IT'S JUST THAT IT'S DIFFICULT
TO OPEN A 6-DIGIT COMBINATION.
SEE THERE?
NOT FOR YOU.
OK. WE'VE GOT TO GET GOING.
WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP THE OTHERS WAITING.
WHY NOT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST NOT A GOOD IDEA
TO KEEP ANYONE WAITING.
BYE, MOM.
OK. YOU ALL SET?
ALL SET.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
OH, HERE THEY COME! QUICK, EVERYONE HIDE!

[STIFLING LAUGHTER]
JESSE LOVES THIS.
YOU MEAN YOU DO THIS FOR HER EVERY YEAR?
YES. IT'S OUR TRADITION.
BY THE WAY, I INVITED CLAUDIA TO THE PARTY.
YOU DID? WHY?
BECAUSE... WAIT A MINUTE.
DAD, YOU KNOW IT ISN'T LOCKED.
WELL, NO. I CAN'T FIND MY HOUSE KEYS.
COME ON.

Woman: CAN I GET YOU A SODA, SWEETIE?
YEAH. WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE A SODA?
Boy: YEAH. DO YOU HAVE ROOT BEER?
YES, I DO.
UM, CLAUDIA...
YEAH?
MAYBE WE SHOULD RETHINK THESE.
WHY?
THEY'RE TOY GUNS.
OH, COME ON. IT'S A BIRTHDAY PARTY.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.
WELL, ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT JUST A BIRTHDAY PARTY.
IT'S ALSO THE ANNIVERSARY...
OF KATHERINE, JESSE'S MOM.
PERHAPS YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
NO, I...KNOW THAT.
IT'S ALWAYS A TOUGH DAY FOR J.T.
RIGHT. OK. WELL, WHY DON'T WE ASK HIM?
OK.
J.T.--
[SCREAMS AND LAUGHTER]
COME ON. COME ON. COME ON.
AH.

[DOOR OPENS]
HEY, YOU.
OH, HEY. HEY.

ENERGY. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY.
SHE HAS GREAT ENERGY.
YEAH, SHE DOES.
SO, YOU GOT A NEW GIRLFRIEND.
YOU GOT A NEW BRIEFCASE.
IS THIS A NEW J.T. SIGHTING? WHAT'S NEXT?
NO, NO. I DIDN'T BUY THIS.
SOMEBODY LEFT THIS AT KATHERINE'S GRAVE.
SOMEWHAT BIZARRE.
YEAH.
WHO KNEW YOU WERE GONNA BE THERE? I MEAN, BESIDES US?
UH, NOBODY.
WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE, ACTUALLY.
YOU REMEMBER THAT GRAD STUDENT OF MINE--CARL AXELROD?
[SCREAMS AND LAUGHTER]
OK, LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN TO ME.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING, ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
EVERY CONVERSATION, EVERY IMPRESSION.
AND GET WITNESS STATEMENTS IF YOU CAN GET THEM.
YOU'RE WATCHING TOO MUCH COURT TV.

OH, MY GOSH! LOOK!
WHOO!
JESS.
WHOA! HOLY COW!

IT'S A TELESCOPE!
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
Girl: SHE'S A BEAUT!
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, PAPA.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
POP, LET'S SET UP MY TELESCOPE.
I'VE GOT TO GO OUT FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT, JESS.
I CANNOT FIND MY HOUSE KEYS.
THEY'RE ON THE INFINITY RING.
WHY ARE YOU TAKING THE CASE, POP?
OK, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO, JESS.
WHEN I GET BACK, WE ARE GONNA SET UP THE TELESCOPE TOGETHER.
AND WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT THE STAR NURSERY IN ORION.
PROMISE? PROMISE.
HOLD YOU TO IT.
THANKS FOR STAYING, CLAUDIA.
HEY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
SHOULD I BE TAKING THIS PERSONALLY,
OR IS IT JUST THE WHOLE DAY?
NO, NO. YOU'VE BEEN GREAT.
NO, I JUST... I...I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.
AND IT CAN'T WAIT TILL MORNING?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. I WILL TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT IT TONIGHT IN BED.
IN BED HERE?
MM-HMM.
[CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY]
HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HER?
NO, BUT...
I THINK SHE'LL BE OK ABOUT IT.
WELL, I'D LIKE TO KNOW SHE'LL BE OK ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE IF SHE'S NOT, A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF...
HOT DATING IS ALL WE'RE EVER GONNA BE.
WELL, I AGREE, AND I THINK WE SHOULD PLAY IT SAFE,
AND LISTEN, I DON'T WANT TO BLOW THIS EITHER.
ALL RIGHT? WE'LL JUST BE CAREFUL.
SEE YOU LATER, SQUIRREL.
Jesse: BYE, POP.
[BEEPING]
[WHIRRING]
LIKE THIS IDEA THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
BASICALLY SINCE MARCH.
HERE. YOU FORGOT YOUR JACKET.
WHEN YOU GET A LOOK AT MY SPECIAL PROJECT,
TRUST ME, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
[BRIEFCASE WHIRRING]
[CRASH]
[INDISTINCT VOICES]
[CAR ALARM IN DISTANCE]
Carl on speaker: WHO IS IT?
PROFESSOR NEUMEYER.
WE NEED TO TALK RIGHT NOW.
STEP BACK FROM THE DOOR.
YOUR SPECIAL PROJECT, CARL--
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.
STEP BACK FROM THE DOOR.
YOU CROSSED THE LINE, CARL.
WHO IS IT?
[WHIRRING]
ALL RIGHT, CARL.
HOW ABOUT I TAKE THIS TO CAMPUS SECURITY
AND LET THEM DEAL WITH YOU?
STEP BACK FROM THE DOOR.
WHO IS IT?
[CLOCK CHIMING]
DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME IT'S EASY, OK?
FORGET THE PICTURE. JUST LOOK AT THE SHAPES.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HERE.
[MEOWING]
COME HERE.
[RING]
NORTHWEST PSYCHIC HOTLINE.
HEY, IT'S ME.
DID YOU OPEN THE CASE?
LISTEN, I'M GONNA BE A LITTLE LONGER.
WILL YOU TELL CLAUDIA?
I'M STOPPING BY BRAD AND CHANTAL'S, AND THEN I'LL BE HOME.
YOU PROMISED TO SET UP MY TELESCOPE.
SO I'M GONNA WAIT FOR YOU,
SCHOOL NIGHT AND ALL.
OK. DEAL.
[SIGHS]
DAD'S GONNA BE LATE.
NO BIGGIE.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
HA!
[BEEPING]
[WHIRRING]
WHOA! JEEZ!
HA HA HA!
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE.
OH, YOU BASTARD.
HA HA HA.
HEY, I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS.
YOU'VE GOT TO READ THIS.
WHAT IS IT?
A GRAD STUDENT'S SUMMER PROJECT.
STICK 'EM UP.
HA HA HA!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
LOOK AT THIS BULLET HOLE.
THERE'S SUCH A THING AS GRAD SCHOOL FOR PHOTO SHOP?
HA HA. YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT FLAWLESS, YOU KNOW.
I DON'T HAVE A BLUE PARKA.
I DON'T OWN A GREEN JEEP CHEROKEE,
AND THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD EVER STEP FOOT
INTO A REDNECK BAR CALLED BUCK NAKED.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
TURN IT OVER TOMORROW TO CAMPUS POLICE.
CAMPUS POLICE? UH-UH. YOU NEED THE REAL THING.
COME ON, J.T. THIS IS REALLY SICK.
THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR.
THIS GUY IS DERANGED.
THIS GOES WAY, WAY BEYOND STALKING.
YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE THIS STUFF DOWNTOWN TONIGHT
AND LET THE POLICE DEAL WITH CARL.
THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE HE DID IT.
WELL, IS HE SMART ENOUGH OR CRAZY ENOUGH?
YOU KNOW WHAT HE IS? HE'S A RELIGIOUS FANATIC
WHOSE RELIGION HAPPENS TO BE QUANTUM PHYSICS.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
LOOK AT THIS.
I'M ON YOUR SUSPECT LIST,
AND HE'S GOT MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.
MY GOD. THIS COULD BE IDENTITY THEFT.
IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA CALL,
I'M GONNA DO IT RIGHT NOW.
WAIT. HOLD ON.
I GOT A BETTER IDEA.
THERE'S A DETECTIVE HERE--
DETECTIVE IRWIN SIKORSKI.
[SIREN AND INDISTINCT RADIO TRANSMISSIONS]
GIVE ME TAPE, LOTS OF TAPE.
GIVE ME ROOM TO LIVE AND BREATHE.
WHEN YOU GOT HERE, WHAT DID YOU DO?
NOTHING MUCH.
CHECKED FOR A PULSE, BUT HE WAS FLAT-LINED.
DIALED YOU STRAIGHT UP, DETECTIVE.
WELL, LET'S SEE WHAT WE HAVE.
AUTOPSY'S GONNA FIND THAT--
OR WHAT'S MISSING FROM THAT--
STUCK IN HIS ESOPHAGUS.
EITHER ASPHYXIATED, WENT CARDIAC, OR BOTH.
NO FOUL PLAY. NO FUN FOR ME.
TELL DONUT DAN TO LAY US OUT
A FEW DOZEN MURDER WEAPONS
BEFORE I EAT THAT EVIDENCE, WOULD YOU?
YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
STAND BACK!
I LIVE RIGHT THERE!
EXCUSE ME.
HEY, UNLESS YOU'RE THE NEW EVIDENCE MAN,
GET THE HELL OUT OF MY CRIME SCENE.
DETECTIVE SIKORSKI, J.T. NEUMEYER.
I JUST NEED A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME.
I'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT IN MY HOLDING TANK, NEUMEYER.
NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE.
[LAUGHTER]
[MEOW]
YOU KNOW, IF THAT GUY OUT THERE
CHEWED LIKE HIS MOTHER TAUGHT HIM,
HE'D BE HOME WATCHING THE NEWS BY NOW.
HOW DID YOU FIND ME?
I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS AT A NEWSPAPER.
THEY HAVE A SCANNER. THEY KNEW YOU'D BE HERE.
AND THEY KNEW YOU HAD A WEAKNESS FOR PASTRAMI.
HA HA HA. I GOT
A LOT OF WEAKNESSES, BELIEVE ME.
SO, UH...
YOU'RE SCHEDULED TO DIE ON FRIDAY, HUH?
WELL, I HOPE NOT. IT'S INCONVENIENT.
ALWAYS IS.
HAND THEM OUT TO THOSE GUYS OVER THERE.
SO, YOU GOT ANYBODY IN MIND FOR THIS?
IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOMEBODY YOU KNOW.
YOU MUST HAVE SOME IDEA.
THERE'S A GRADUATE STUDENT NAMED CARL AXELROD.
SO, THAT'S A START.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL THIS TO CAMPUS POLICE?
THEY LIVE FOR THIS KIND OF CRAP.
DOESN'T IT BOTHER YOU THAT YOUR NAME'S ON IT?
WELL, IF IT HAS TO DO WITH HOMICIDE, IT BETTER BE.
I'M SORRY, PROFESSOR. I DON'T DO HOAXES,
ESPECIALLY ONES FULL OF HOLES.
HOLES?
NOW, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
IT SAYS HERE I DIDN'T ATTEND THE AUTOPSY.
SEE? RIGHT THERE.
"TUESDAY, JUNE 15th, 2 P.M.,
INVESTIGATING OFFICER IS NOT PRESENT."
YOU KNOW THE LAST TIME I MISSED AN AUTOPSY?
HMM-MM.
NEITHER DO I.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW YOU
FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND,
BUT YOU DON'T LOOK THE TYPE TO ME
THAT HANGS OUT IN A SLEAZE PIT LIKE BUCK NAKED.
HA HA. NO.
IT'S JUST A PRANK,
SOME JUNIOR EGGHEAD JUST TRYING TO SCREW WITH YOU A LITTLE.
A LITTLE, HUH?
I SEE PEOPLE GET SCREWED WITH A LOT.
THIS IS A LITTLE.
IT'S JUST PAPER.
WHY DON'T YOU... GO HOME
AND JUST BE THANKFUL YOU DIDN'T DIE
WITH A PIECE OF DONUT CLOGGED IN YOUR THROAT.
THANKS FOR THE PASTRAMI.
HEY.
OH, HEY.
WHEN DID YOU GET BACK?
ABOUT A HALF-HOUR AGO.
DID YOU GET EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF?
YEAH... FOR TONIGHT ANYWAY.
I'M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT WAS TIME WELL SPENT.
SHE'S A GOOD KID. WE HAD FUN.
WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU RUN A BATH
AND WE HAVE A LITTLE FUN, TOO?
HMM?
I'LL BE RIGHT UP.
I'M JUST GONNA SHOW JESSE THE ORION NEBULA.
THOSE ARE BABY STARS, JESS,
MADE UP FROM GASES AND SPACE DUST.
YOU KNOW THE LIGHT WE'RE SEEING TONIGHT
WAS EMITTED 1,500 YEARS AGO?
WOW.
YOU OPENED THE CASE,
DIDN'T YOU?
[KNOCKS SOFTLY]
ENTREZ.
CARE TO JOIN ME?
ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT?
WELL, FOR BEING HERE,
FOR BEING SO GOOD TO JESSE.
BUT MOST OF ALL,
FOR BEING NAKED IN THIS BATHTUB.
HA HA HA.
WANT TO WASH MY BACK?
TEASE.
ABSOLUTELY.
I'VE GOT A PRESENT FOR YOU.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR YOU, SO...
WHAT DID YOU DO?
DO YOU LIKE IT?
WHAT'S WRONG?
BUT I JUST BOUGHT IT, J.T.
HOW COULD CARL KNOW,
RIGHT DOWN TO THE COLOR?
YOU KNOW, I MEAN...
EVERY SECOND PARKA IS BLUE.
IT'S A COINCIDENCE. IT'S...
I MEAN...HA HA HA.
LOOK. LOOK. YOU WEREN'T EVEN AT MY FUNERAL.
YOU WOULDN'T MISS THAT, WOULD YOU?
I MEAN, IT'S...
CLAUDIA, LOOK. I'M A PHYSICS TEACHER.
I'M A SINGLE DAD.
I DO JIGSAW PUZZLES, FOR GOD'S SAKES.
WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL ME?
I'M TOO DAMN DULL.
DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?
NO.
DO YOU THINK BRAD WANTS TO KILL ME?
WHY WOULD BRAD WANT TO KILL YOU?
HE'S YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW.
YEAH. WELL, BUT I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING HERE.
YOU'RE BOTH ON THE SUSPECT LIST.
WOW. I'M A SUSPECT.
YEAH, ALONG WITH CARL,
WHO WORSHIPS ME FOR SOME REASON.
AND THEN THERE'S SOME GUY I NEVER HEARD OF.
WHO?
ROY BREMMER.
[CHUCKLES]
ALL RIGHT. THIS IS REALLY UNROMANTIC.
I THINK WE NEED TO JUST PUT THIS AWAY.
LET'S TAKE A RAIN CHECK.
WELL, NOW, I MEAN, CLAUDIA,
YOU COULD STILL STAY.
ANOTHER TIME.
CLAUDIA, WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING'S WRONG.
I MEAN, I KNOW THIS WHOLE THING
IS KIND OF SPOOKY,
BUT...
NOTHING'S WRONG. I JUST THINK
IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE DID IT ANOTHER TIME, THAT'S ALL.

Jesse: SO, WHEN DID CLAUDIA GO HOME?
OH. HA HA. UH...LAST NIGHT.
I THOUGHT...
HMM. NEVER MIND.
HEY, JESS. UH...
YOU KNOW, NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME
TO TALK ABOUT CLAUDIA AND US.
IT'S OK.
I THINK I'M GONNA...
GO AND GET DRESSED, YOU KNOW.
OH.
JESS.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S IN THE CASE,
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU OPENED IT.
STUFF...FOR ME.
WELL, I FOUND IT. SO I THINK
THAT I HAVE A RIGHT TO LOOK.
NO. IT HAS MY NAME ON IT,
AND THE STUFF INSIDE IS CLEARLY MEANT FOR ME.
SO ONCE I FIND OUT WHAT IT ALL MEANS
AND IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SHOW IT TO YOU,
I WILL.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
OH, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT PROBABLY IS?
THAT'S PROBABLY OUR LOANER.
SWEET!
[KNOCKING]
EXCUSE ME.
WHOA.
MR. NEUMEYER?
YEAH. SORRY ABOUT OUR RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC.
I'M HERE TO TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO THE REPAIR SHOP.
OH. UH... THERE YOU ARE.
[MUSIC BLARING] I GUESS SHE'S FOUND THE RADIO.
ENJOY IT.
THANKS. I'M SURE WE WI--
[MUSIC BLARING]
ALL RIGHTY.
NOW YOU REALIZE, ONCE THE TRUCK IS FIXED,
WE ARE BACK TO PLEBE STATUS?
I KNOW. IT'S JUST FUN HAVING NICE THINGS.
I MEAN, REALLY NICE THINGS,
LIKE "UNCLE BRAD, AUNT CHANTAL" NICE.
LOVE YOU. OH, I SEE.
LOVE YOU. BYE. SEE YOU LATER.
BE CAREFUL.
[BEEP]
[TELEPHONE DIALING]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
HEY, CLAUDIA.
UH, LISTEN.
I WANT TO TAKE A RAIN CHECK ON LAST NIGHT,
BUT THAT'S NOT WHY I'M CALLING.
I GOT A QUESTION ABOUT THE RENTAL CAR YOU ARRANGED FOR US.
[SIREN]
SEE, THE THING IS--
WAIT. I'D BETTER GO HERE.
PROFESSOR.
YOU GOT THAT FILE ON YOU?
SO, WHAT MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?
CARL AXELROD-- HE'S A STUDENT, RIGHT?
THE ONE YOU PEGGED FOR THIS?
WELL, IF HE DID IT, HE PUT HIMSELF ON THE SUSPECT LIST.
IS HE REALLY THAT CRAZY?
HE'S, UM... UNTIL YESTERDAY,
I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST WEIRD.
HE'S ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST STUDENTS I'VE EVER HAD.
SOCIALLY INEPT, A LITTLE CREEPY,
BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.
I'LL CHECK HIM FOR PRIORS,
SEE WHO ELSE CARL HAS BEEN MESSING WITH HERE.
PROFESSOR BRADLEY HUME?
THAT'S MY LATE WIFE'S BROTHER.
HE'S A FRIEND, COLLEAGUE,
GOOD SCIENTIST, BETTER STOCK PICKER,
BUT HE WOULDN'T BE A SUSPECT
EVEN IF THIS THING WAS REAL.
7 OUT OF 10 MURDERS ARE COMMITTED
BY FRIENDS OR FAMILY OF THE VIC.
OH?
WHAT ABOUT CLAUDIA WHITNEY?
UH...MY GIRLFRIEND.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE WOULDN'T WANT TO KILL YOU.
HELL, MY WIFE, SHE TRIES
TO WRING MY NECK AT LEAST TWICE A DAY.
WELL, IMAGINE THAT.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN HER?
4 MONTHS. WE MET OVER TERM LIFE.
SHE'S MY INSURANCE AGENT.
YOUR GIRLFRIEND HANDLES YOUR LIFE INSURANCE? [CHUCKLES]
DID YOU NAME HER EXECUTOR OR INCLUDE HER IN YOUR WILL?
NO. MY DAUGHTER IS MY SOLE BENEFICIARY.
THIS IS INTERESTING.
WHAT?
IT SAYS THAT THEY FOUND AN UNSPENT BULLET
ON YOUR BODY.
IT'S LIKE A CALLING CARD, A PRO THING.
I GUESS CARL'S BEEN WATCHING TOO MUCH TV.
WHO'S ROY BREMMER?
I HAVE NO IDEA, NO IDEA WHO THAT IS.
HAVE TO ASK CARL.
I'LL DO THAT.
CAN I KEEP THIS?
I'LL MAKE YOU A COPY. I NEED TO KEEP THIS ONE.
BECAUSE I'M GONNA PROVE THIS WHOLE THING
IS JUST, YOU KNOW, A HOAX.
WELL, OF COURSE IT'S A HOAX.
WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, I PROBABLY SHOULD MENTION THIS.
YESTERDAY, I WAS GIVEN A BLUE PARKA,
JUST LIKE IN THE FILE,
AND TODAY, THIS MORNING, THE RENTAL-CAR COMPANY
DROPS OFF A GREEN CHEROKEE--
JUST LIKE IN THE FILE.
YOU ASKED ME WHY I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT THIS THING.
WHEN I GOT HOME LAST NIGHT,
MY WIFE, SHE TOLD ME
I HAD A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK.
I'VE BLOWN OFF A COUPLE ALREADY.
SO IF I MISS THIS ONE,
SHE REALLY WILL WRING MY NECK.
NEXT TUESDAY, 2:00.
SAME TIME AS THE AUTOPSY.
SO YOU MISS THE AUTOPSY.
GET ME A COPY OF THIS, WILL YOU?
YEAH.
SOON AS YOU CAN.
THANKS.

OH, HEY, DAN.
DAN.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I NEED A FAVOR.
A STRESS TEST MAYBE? SOME OXYGEN?
NO. CAN YOU CHECK THE BLOOD ON THIS AGAINST MINE?
WHAT'S THIS?
IT'S A BULLET FRAGMENT.
WHERE WOULD YOU GET A-- WAIT A SECOND.
WHY WOULD THE BLOOD MATCH YOURS?
I'LL EXPLAIN LATER. I JUST...
I NEED IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THANKS.
THAT'S GREAT, MAN. I APPRECIATE THAT.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS I CAN.
I KNOW. THAT WAS GOOD. THANKS.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. SPECTACULAR WORK.
HOW CAN I PROVE IT WAS PHOTO-SHOPPED?
YOU MEAN ASIDE FROM YOU STANDING THERE BREATHING?
YOSHI'S GOT THIS BIG VOODOO MACHINE DOWN IN COMPOSING.
HE CAN SCAN IT FOR TAMPERING.
GOOD.
EVER HEARD OF THIS GUY--
ROY BREMMER?
NO. HEY, HOW COME I'M NOT ON THIS LIST?
I'M A CLOSE FRIEND, AND I'M DEFINITELY
BADDER THAN BRAD OR CLAUDIA.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHO HE IS?
WELL, I COULD SEARCH OUR DATABASE.
HEY, LIGHTEN UP, SON.
HOW COME YOU'RE SO WORKED UP ABOUT THIS?
YOU WENT TO THE POLICE. THEY'RE ON IT, RIGHT?
RIGHT. RIGHT. YEAH. CAN I USE YOUR COPIER?
YEAH.
Woman: DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THE SUNSHINE TODAY?
Second woman: IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
WE SHOULD GO FOR DRINKS ON THE PATIO AFTER WORK.
THAT SOUNDS NICE.

Woman: DENORVO INSURANCE.
HI, AMY. J.T. IS SHE THERE YET?
SORRY, J.T. AS SOON AS SHE GETS IN,
I'LL HAVE HER CALL YOU, OK?
OK. THANKS.
Woman on television: YOU'LL PROBABLY JUST WANT A LIGHT JACKET.
THAT WRAPS IT UP FOR THE SEATTLE AREA--
PARTLY CLOUDY WITH MOSTLY COOL BREEZES.
OH, THIS JUST IN.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SUNNY LONG, ACCORDING TO THE DOPPLER.
WE HAVE A STORM COMING IN OFF THE COAST.
SORRY, FOLKS. GET OUT THE RAIN GEAR.
[BEEP]
J.T.: CLAUDIA, IT'S ME. WHERE ARE YOU?
I TRIED YOUR OFFICE. I TRIED YOUR CELL.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE FILE.
CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THIS, OK?
[BEEP]
[BELL TOLLING]
[WHIRRING]
BLOWING UP STUFF FOR GRADES.
NOW, HOW COOL IS THAT?
J.T., YOU JUST MISSED IT.
I AM SO CLOSE--
A TRANSPARENT MATERIAL
CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING 170 G's.
BRAD--
IT'LL REPLACE EVERY WINDOW IN THE FIRST WORLD.
I WOULDN'T MIND OWNING THE PATENT ON THAT ONE.
LISTEN, HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE POLICE YET?
YEAH. WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS THING IS MADE OF.
SO YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHO SENT IT TO YOU.
YEAH, YEAH.
OK, LET'S DO IT. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THIS IS REALLY NICE.
PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO TAKE A SHAVING FROM THIS.
YEAH. DO WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT TO DO.
YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE?
WELL...DEPENDS.
[MUTTERS]
CAN I BLOW IT UP?
KIDDING.
CALL ME.
I WILL. HA HA.
IF HE WAS STEALING?
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
WHAT'S GOING ON, GUYS?
THIS BIG COP JUST DRAGGED
THAT CARL GUY OUT OF HERE.
EMPHASIS ON "DRAGGED."
I'M GONNA HAVE TO CANCEL TODAY. I'M SORRY.
I'LL MAKE IT UP. DOUBLE SESSION ON THURSDAY.
GET CLOSER TOGETHER.
CLOSER TOGETHER, KIDS. THERE YOU GO.
ALL RIGHT, READY? SMILE.
Girl: SMILE.
CHEESE! CHEESE! CHEESE!
Carl: DO NOT TOUCH ME!
COME BACK HERE AND SIT.
I'VE SEEN THOSE SHOWS WITH THE GOOD COP/BAD COP!
YOU'RE GONNA KNOCK ME AROUND!
PROFESSOR. YOU GET THE COPIES?
WHY AM I HERE?
TRY CRIMINAL HARASSMENT,
WHICH IS GONNA LAND YOU IN PRISON,
WHERE YOU'LL ACQUIRE
A WHOLE NEW DEFINITION OF PHYSICS.
WHAT IS THAT?
NO ONE'S GONNA HURT YOU, CARL.
JUST TELL US WHY YOU DID IT.
CARL, IS THAT THE SPECIAL PROJECT
YOU SAID WOULD BLOW MY MIND?
NO.
ANY MOPE CAN MAKE A THREAT,
BUT A GENIUS NEEDS A GENIUS TWIST,
AND YOU'RE A GENIUS, AREN'T YOU, CARL?
WHERE'D YOU GET THE PAPERWORK?
SOMEONE IN THIS DEPARTMENT?
THIS ISN'T MY HANDWRITING.
YOU FORGED MY SIGNATURE TO MAKE IT LOOK REAL.
WHO HELPED YOU, CARL? GIVE ME A NAME.
IT'S DATED...FRIDAY?
MAYBE IT WASN'T EVEN YOUR IDEA.
YOU WERE JUST A DUPE.
THAT IS SO WEIRD.
SO WEIRD.
I'M GIVING YOU ONE CHANCE
TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF THIS, CARL.
LOOKY, LOOKY, LOOKY, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.
HE DIDN'T DO THIS.
[DOOR OPENS]
[WIND BLOWING]
[EXCITED CONVERSATION]
IT'S ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY. LET'S COME ON INSIDE.
COME ON. COME ON. LET'S GO.
[EXCITED CONVERSATION]
AH, CLAUDIA. BANKER'S HOURS.
DID MICHAEL CUT THE PAYCHECKS YET?
NO. HE'S WORKING ON THEM RIGHT NOW.
FORGET TO PAY THE ELECTRIC AGAIN?
YOU KNOW ME.
Man: TYPICAL NASTY WEATHER.
[WOMAN LAUGHS]
COME ON.
NO.
YES.
VICTORIA JAMIESON.
VICKY.
VICKY JAMIESON.
MY NEW IDENTITY.
OH...YOU'RE A LIFESAVER.
MARGARITAS FOR DINNER?
MY TREAT.
I STILL OWE YOU FOR LAST TIME.
YOU KNOW WHAT, AMY? I CAN'T TONIGHT.
I REALLY NEED TO GET GOING.
BUT YOU KNOW, UM... I THINK YOU'RE GREAT,
AND I WOULD LOVE TO, BUT I CAN'T.
SALTED RIMS, LIMES...NACHOS!
I CAN'T.
SAY HI TO BILLY. OK, SEE YOU TOMORROW.
OK.
UH! CLAUDIA.
IT'S OK.
I'M GLAD I FOUND YOU.
I NEED YOU TO PICK UP JESS TODAY.
YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS, RIGHT? IT'S AN EMERGENCY.
NO, I-- I'LL EXPLAIN LATER.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
[CREAKING]
[CHIMES RINGING]
[KNOCKING]
HELLO!
HELLO! HELLO!
[POUNDING ON WINDOW]
[MUSIC PLAYS]
[DOG BARKING]
[MUSIC PLAYS]
YEAH?
THE OAK TREE-- IT'S GONNA FALL!
YOU'VE GOT TO GET OUT NOW!
THIS TREE'S BEEN THROUGH A LOT WORSE THAN THIS.
I KNOW, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME.
HEY, BUTCHIE, SHUT UP!
THERE'S NOT MUCH TIME! COME ON!
WHAT ARE YOU, SOME SORT OF A CITY-WORKS GUY
OR A TREE MAINTENANCE GUY OR SOMETHING?
NO, I'M A PHYSICIST, BUT--
OH, YOU'RE A PHYSICIST.
LISTEN. LISTEN! THAT OAK TREE!
IT'S NOT GONNA SURVIVE THE STORM!
IT'S GONNA FALL, MANDY--
HOW DID YOU KNOW MY NAME?
GET OFF MY PORCH!
NO! WAIT! YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME!
[SHOUTING, WORKOUT MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOG BARKING]
WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!
NOW!
[SHOUTING]
TAKE IT EASY. TAKE IT EASY.
[CREAKING]
WILL YOU LET GO OF ME?!
AAH!
[LOUD CREAKING]
AAH!
OH, MY GOD!
YOU SAVED MY LIFE! HOW CAN I EVER THANK YOU?
IT'S REAL.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
[CHILDREN SHOUTING]
[HORN HONKING]
YOU'RE PICKING ME UP? WHERE'S DAD?
SOMETHING CAME UP.
YOU'RE GETTING WET.
[BEEP]
J.T.'s voice: CLAUDIA, IT'S ME. WHERE ARE YOU?
I TRIED YOUR OFFICE. I TRIED YOUR CELL.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE FILE.
CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THIS.
Man: IS THERE SOME KIND OF MECHANICAL PROBLEM?
NO, NO, NOT AT ALL.
YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY IT HANDLES?
IT HANDLES GREAT. EVERYTHING IS, UH...
YOU REALIZE IT'S THE TOP OF THE LINE?
LEATHER INTERIOR, CHERRY SOUND SYSTEM,
G.P.S.
MISS WHITNEY SPECIFICALLY ORDERED IT FOR YOU.
WAIT. WHAT DID SHE ASK FOR EXACTLY?
SHE SAID, "GIVE ME THE BEST ONE ON THE LOT."
WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU DID THAT. I THANK YOU.
NOW I WANT SOMETHING ELSE.
OK. I'LL PUT THAT ON YOUR VISA.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
IS THAT COP WITH YOU?
NO, HE ISN'T, CARL. I'M ALONE.
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, PLEASE.
YOU STILL HAVE THOSE PAPERS, CARL--
THE THESIS ADVISER CONSENT FORMS?
UH-HUH.
YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU GET THEM?
AND...
OK. I AM NOW YOUR THESIS ADVISER.
AND THIS...
IS YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
AND I'M SURE THAT YOU WON'T BE AFRAID
OF WHEREVER THAT MIGHT LEAD YOU.
I AM ALREADY THERE.
THE SHADOW ON THE FORM FROM THE PAPER CLIP...
AND OTHER THINGS.
BUT IT TAKES TIME TO CREATE
A MARK LIKE THAT, RIGHT? YEARS. DECADES EVEN.
AND THE FORMS ARE CURRENT,
BUT THE PAPER IS OLD AND CRUMBLY,
WHICH MEANS SOMEBODY EITHER MANUFACTURED THE EFFECT
OR THAT...
OR...
OR...IT'S FROM THE FUTURE.
HA.
OK. DO YOU HAVE PROOF?
IT PREDICTED A RANDOM EVENT,
WHICH HAPPENED THIS AFTERNOON.
I KNEW IT. I KNEW THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE.
CARL.
IT PROVES THE THEORY
OF INFINITE PARALLEL UNIVERSES.
OK, NOW STAY WITH ME. I NEED YOU.
I WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENED.
SHOW ME THE MATH, THE PHYSICS,
THE IMPLICATIONS OF TRANSFERRING AN OBJECT
THROUGH SPACE AND TIME.
OK. DID IT JUST SHOW UP ON YOUR DESK?
WAS IT IN ANYTHING?
IT WAS IN A METAL BRIEFCASE.
WE'RE ANALYZING THE COMPOSITION RIGHT NOW.
LIGHTWEIGHT BUT VERY STRONG.
SO THE FILE IS INSIDE THE CASE.
INSIDE THE FILE ARE WRITTEN DOCUMENTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?
MY LOST KEYS. I HAD THEM YESTERDAY MORNING,
BUT BY THE AFTERNOON, THEY WERE GONE.
BEFORE OR AFTER YOU GOT THE CASE?
AFTER.
ANYTHING ELSE?
YES. SPENT BULLET WITH DRIED BLOOD ON IT.
AND ALSO A WHOLE BULLET,
WHICH WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE.
WAIT. BULLETS?
OH, YEAH. YOU DIE ON FRIDAY.
WELL...NOT IF I CAN HELP IT, CARL.
ALL RIGHTIE.
IT'S ALL HERE. GOOD LUCK.
HEY, YOU KNOW...
MAYBE YOU CAN'T HELP IT. MAYBE IT'S YOUR DESTINY.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
BELIEVE?
SEE, CARL, JUST THINK ABOUT
ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED
SINCE THAT CASE ARRIVED.
I'M NOW YOUR THESIS ADVISER,
FOR ONE.
I KNEW A SCIENTIST WHO USED TO TELL STUDENTS
TO CHECK THEIR BELIEFS AT THE LAB DOOR,
AT LEAST UNTIL THEY COULD BE PROVEN.
WELL, I NOW BELIEVE THAT SCIENTIST
WAS WRONG, CARL.
DAD, LOOK. YOU GOT SOME FLOWERS.
I'VE GOT TO MEET A CLIENT.
I GOT TO GO.
CLAUDIA, CAN YOU COME BACK LATER? I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU.
IT'S ABOUT SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT.
J.T., YOU SON OF A BITCH!
HEY, GIRLS.
TURN ON THE TV. YOUR DAD IS ALL OVER THE NEWS.
WHY? HE'S A DAMN HERO.
WHAT DID YOU DO, DAD?
OH, NOTHING MUCH.
JUST SAVED A WOMAN'S LIFE.
WHAT?
Man on television: HERE WE ARE
AT THE TOWN OF EVERETT'S FAMOUS LANDMARK, THE WEATHERBY OAK.
WELL, THE OAK IS NO MORE, AS THEY SAY.
MAYBE IT'S THE ACORN. MANDY, WE HEAR YOU LOST YOUR HOUSE.
MANDY MURPHY. THAT'S WHO THE FLOWERS ARE FROM.
I GOT SOMETHING ELSE FOR YOU, TOO.
IT'S ABOUT THAT BREMMER CHARACTER.
THIS IS HIM.
ALL RIGHT. SO WHO IS HE?
ALL THE ACTION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO
IS CONTROLLED BY A HANDFUL OF GUYS.
SO HE'S ONE OF THEM.
NO. HE CONTROLS THE HANDFUL OF GUYS.
VERY PRIVATE. VERY CONNECTED.
CLAUDIA, YOU'RE FROM CHICAGO.
YOU EVER RUN INTO THIS CHARACTER?
YEAH. WE USED TO PARTY ALL THE TIME--
HIM, ME, AND THE MAYOR.
OH, YEAH, RIGHT.
HA HA HA.
I'VE GOT TO RUN. I'M LATE.
CAN I SEE YOU FOR A SEC?
YEAH.
WHAT'S UP?
Mandy: AND I'M JUST HAPPY THAT WE'RE OK.
MAN'S BEST FRIEND AND HIS MOM,
AND I GUESS YOU'RE BOTH OK. SO WE'RE GLAD FOR THAT.
OK, MANDY, YOU TAKE CARE.
BYE, J.T.
WHOO!
WHAT DID YOU DO TO DESERVE HER?
[HORNS HONKING]
[MEOW]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO.
Claudia: I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
CLAUDIA, WHERE ARE YOU?
LOOK OUTSIDE.
WHAT?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE?
WHY DON'T YOU COME IN?
NO. I NEED YOU TO COME OUT HERE, J.T.
ALL RIGHT.
JESS, STAY HERE.
CLAUDIA?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IS IT THE FILE?
LOOK, IF IT'S ABOUT THE FILE, I WISH I COULD TELL YOU
THAT THERE'S NOTHING TO IT, BUT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TODAY--
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FILE.
J.T., JUST LISTEN TO ME, OK?
WHAT?
I KNOW ROY BREMMER.
[DOOR CLOSES]
YOU KNOW ROY BREMMER?
WAIT A MINUTE. WELL, I DON'T--HOW?
IS HE A CLIENT OF YOURS OR...
NO, HE'S NOT A CLIENT.
WELL, WHAT IS HE?
DID SOMETHING HAPPEN IN CHICAGO?
DID YOU CROSS THE GUY IN SOME WAY?
DID YOU TESTIFY AGAINST HIM? I DON'T...
CLAUDIA?
I MARRIED HIM.
AND I'M STILL MARRIED TO HIM.
I'M SORRY.
OH, SO YOU THINK THAT NOT TELLING ME...
HOW...WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL ME?
I'VE LIVED IN 5 DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.
AND I'VE CHANGED MY IDENTITY 3 TIMES.
I'M ABOUT TO CHANGE IT AGAIN.
I ONLY CAME BACK HERE TO WARN YOU.
WHY WOULDN'T YOU DIVORCE HIM?
ROY TAKES THAT "TILL DEATH DO US PART" CLAUSE LITERALLY.
OH, DAMN IT.
JESSE.
I DON'T LIKE BEING LEFT OUT!
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!
NO. THAT'S ENOUGH.
LISTEN, HERE IS THE DEAL.
YOU'RE THE CHILD. I'M THE PARENT.
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
I WILL DECIDE THAT. END OF STORY.
NOW GO UPSTAIRS. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
[SIGHS]
I NEVER LET MYSELF...
GET TOO CLOSE TO ANYONE
BECAUSE...
I KNOW, SOONER OR LATER,
I'M GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE.
I MADE A MISTAKE WITH YOU.
I COULDN'T RESIST.
THIS WAS...
THE BEST...
SWEETEST THING...
I HAVE EVER HAD...
EVER.
I RUINED MY LIFE WHEN I MARRIED ROY.
AND NOW I'VE RUINED YOURS.
AND I'M SORRY.
I JUST DIDN'T EXPECT TO MEET YOU.
I...I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WANTED IN A MAN
UNTIL I MET YOU,
AND I DON'T KNOW, BUT...
I FEEL LIKE MAYBE I WOKE UP SOMETHING IN YOU
THAT'S BEEN ASLEEP A LONG TIME.
NO, CLAUDIA. NO.
UM...
THIS IS FOR YOU. YOU NEED TO TAKE IT.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
J.T., ROY ISN'T ONLY POWERFUL AND RUTHLESS.
HE'S INSANELY JEALOUS.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH A GUN?
YOU NEED TO TAKE IT. YOU NEED TO TAKE IT.
YOU'RE IN DANGER. JESSE IS IN DANGER.
NO, I'M NOT GONNA KEEP A GUN IN MY HOME.
J.T., JUST TAKE IT.
J.T., TAKE IT.
CLAUDIA.
LISTEN. LISTEN.
NO.
DON'T GO.
DOES HE ALWAYS FIND YOU?
YEAH, BUT HE HASN'T CAUGHT ME...YET.
DON'T GO.
COME HERE.
YOU JUST SAID HE ALWAYS FINDS YOU.
SOONER OR LATER, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FACE HIM.
SO, WHY DON'T WE FACE THIS TOGETHER?
I MEAN IT.
COME ON.
HEY.
OH, BROTHER.
