1
00:00:04,571 --> 00:00:08,371
The French essayist,
Michel de Montaigne, once said...
2
00:00:08,441 --> 00:00:13,310
"I think there is more barbarity
in eating a man alive...
3
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:15,940
than in eating him dead."
4
00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:19,842
The wisdom of it.
5
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:29,291
When you're a kid
with an open soul...
6
00:00:29,362 --> 00:00:32,422
they tell you the world
consists of good guys and bad guys.
7
00:00:36,736 --> 00:00:39,671
I always liked the bad guys.
8
00:00:41,808 --> 00:00:44,333
Scarface over Superman.
9
00:00:46,913 --> 00:00:51,179
The psychology of depravity was far more
compelling to my Manichaean imagination...
10
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:54,709
than a portrait of benevolence.
11
00:00:59,626 --> 00:01:03,858
The truth is, good and bad
are not so absolute.
12
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:17,092
As for me...
13
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,832
there are times I'd give a thumb
for a little benevolence.
14
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:22,231
You gave me a "D."
I don't get D's.
15
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:25,567
When you do "D" work, you get a "D."
16
00:03:25,638 --> 00:03:27,333
We're fucking, Eli.
17
00:03:27,407 --> 00:03:31,776
- What, you're fucking me for a good grade?
- No.
18
00:03:31,844 --> 00:03:34,836
So I leave you with a question.
19
00:03:34,914 --> 00:03:39,078
A northern California dairy farmer
murders three young girls...
20
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:42,121
performs sexual acts
with their dead bodies...
21
00:03:42,188 --> 00:03:45,021
and then eats portions
of their fleshy thighs.
22
00:03:45,091 --> 00:03:47,150
Is the dairy farmer crazy?
23
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,354
Fuck, yeah.
24
00:03:49,429 --> 00:03:51,795
Let me give you a hint.
This is not a question...
25
00:03:51,864 --> 00:03:55,857
that can be answered
with a "yes" or a "no" or a "fuck, yeah."
26
00:03:57,937 --> 00:04:00,167
Empty. Empty. Empty.
27
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,765
Did you even buy
a cup of coffee today?
28
00:04:05,445 --> 00:04:08,107
Just out of curiosity,
how many days old...
29
00:04:08,181 --> 00:04:10,877
is that raggedy cup
you keep filling with our free milk?
30
00:04:12,385 --> 00:04:15,877
- Hmm. Three.
- So I'm gonna have to confiscate your cup.
31
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:17,479
Oh!
32
00:04:22,395 --> 00:04:26,491
I'm enjoying this...
so much.
33
00:04:31,704 --> 00:04:34,639
Three pages on my desk by Monday.
34
00:04:34,707 --> 00:04:36,698
Thank you all.
35
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:45,181
Just a second, you.
Next time you're late for this class...
36
00:04:45,251 --> 00:04:49,415
you're gonna trip on your way out
and break your shooting thumb.
37
00:04:49,489 --> 00:04:51,218
You get me?
38
00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:54,650
# This world is cold, designed
to corrupt your soul #
39
00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:56,786
# And it will never change #
40
00:04:56,863 --> 00:04:58,728
# This world is cold, designed
to corrupt your soul #
41
00:04:58,798 --> 00:05:00,163
# And it will never change #
42
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:02,701
# This world is cold, designed
to corrupt your soul #
43
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:04,100
# And it will never change #
44
00:05:04,170 --> 00:05:06,434
# This world is cold, designed
to corrupt your soul #
45
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:07,905
# And it will never change #
46
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:10,067
# This world is cold, designed
to corrupt your soul #
47
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:11,667
# And it will never change ##
48
00:05:11,744 --> 00:05:16,681
Right now I am stuck in a deep life rut here.
It's a grave-like trench.
49
00:05:16,749 --> 00:05:20,082
You see, I'm trying
to finish my Ph. D. thesis...
50
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:24,590
and get by on a $35-a-week allowance
from my father, okay?
51
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:28,684
So as much as I would love
to spend the $4.40 on a...
52
00:05:28,761 --> 00:05:31,423
Mocha Spin and a seeded baguette...
53
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:34,694
I am constantly reminded
of the words of Samuel Johnson-
54
00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:37,668
Why would you give
your own lover a "D"?
55
00:05:39,806 --> 00:05:44,709
Beth, I am disappointed that you
would expect preferential treatment.
56
00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:47,769
It's bullshit, Eli.
It's bullshit.
57
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:50,645
You're punishing me.
You are.
58
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:54,551
You're punishing me for sleeping with you.
59
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,453
"There mark what ills
the scholar's life assail-
60
00:05:57,523 --> 00:06:02,119
toil, envy, want,
the patron and the jail."
61
00:06:10,403 --> 00:06:13,463
- Hello. Speaking.
- The office got a call.
62
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:16,531
Seems as though your husband
won the Nobel Prize.
63
00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:22,079
Well, that should cement his ego.
64
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:26,411
Hey, it's not every day
somebody wins the bowling trophy...
65
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:28,852
let alone the Nobel Prize.
66
00:06:28,921 --> 00:06:32,482
Barkley Michaelson,
your father called.
67
00:06:32,558 --> 00:06:34,992
He has just won the Nobel Prize.
68
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,425
Lucky fucking son of a bitch.
69
00:06:42,502 --> 00:06:46,598
Congratulations.
70
00:06:48,541 --> 00:06:51,169
Congratulations, Dr. Michaelson.
You rock.
71
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,843
Thank you. Thank you.
72
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:05,857
If anyone in this room
ever doubted my intellectual superiority...
73
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:09,520
or your great fortune
to be under my incomparable tutelage...
74
00:07:09,595 --> 00:07:13,827
you can now formally
kiss my fine white ass.
75
00:07:21,307 --> 00:07:24,242
- Congratulations, Eli.
- Congratulations, Eli.
76
00:07:25,912 --> 00:07:28,574
Good job.
77
00:07:33,119 --> 00:07:37,488
Well, Eli, I guess this proves
the Nobel's not a popularity contest.
78
00:07:37,557 --> 00:07:39,821
And a good thing, Simon...
79
00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:42,759
'cause if it were, you might
actually have a shot at winning.
80
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:48,196
- Hey, Ma.
- Hey.
81
00:07:48,267 --> 00:07:49,962
- You look great.
- Thank you.
82
00:07:50,036 --> 00:07:52,163
Is this tie all right?
83
00:07:52,238 --> 00:07:56,675
Did someone forget to tell Dad
that this was a semi-formal affair?
84
00:07:56,742 --> 00:07:58,040
He knew.
85
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:01,204
Anything to crystallize
his advantage, huh?
86
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,441
- Hmm.
- Where's the chow?
87
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:06,178
Everyone's very proud of you, Eli.
88
00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:08,777
Well, it's a damn good thing
I won the Nobel...
89
00:08:08,855 --> 00:08:12,256
because now you're gonna
find it hard as hell to fire me.
90
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:15,089
Oh, I never threatened
to fire you, Eli.
91
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:18,790
I'm a scientist, Harvey, and the empirical
evidence I'm looking at around here...
92
00:08:18,865 --> 00:08:21,629
tells me no one loves me anymore.
93
00:08:21,701 --> 00:08:23,896
I loved you.
94
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:30,271
Eli. Look, I'm a scientist too...
95
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:32,743
and my empirical
observations tell me...
96
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:35,303
that someone's gonna shoot you
long before I have to fire you.
97
00:08:35,381 --> 00:08:38,942
Young lady- I'm closing my eyes.
98
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:42,579
Do you really think that little nymph
of a chemistry groupie...
99
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:45,089
is having an affair
with my ancient, tyrannical dad?
100
00:08:45,157 --> 00:08:48,558
- Mom.
- No. Wait.
101
00:08:51,831 --> 00:08:55,096
Nice of you to come, Beth.
Love the outfit.
102
00:08:55,167 --> 00:08:57,533
Final exams are in two weeks.
103
00:08:59,138 --> 00:09:01,606
If I don't get an "A,"
I'm gonna tell the whole world...
104
00:09:01,674 --> 00:09:04,438
about my scandalous affair with you.
105
00:09:04,510 --> 00:09:08,674
Unfortunately, it won't be the first
Nobel Prize winner with a sex scandal.
106
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:12,343
Yes, yes. Dr. Carleton Gajdusek
and his Micronesian boys.
107
00:09:12,418 --> 00:09:15,251
I think he was in another league-
sexually, that is.
108
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:17,482
I'm so totally serious.
109
00:09:19,825 --> 00:09:22,919
An "A" it is.
You earned it.
110
00:09:22,995 --> 00:09:25,930
I like you like this, Beth.
111
00:09:25,998 --> 00:09:28,091
You look naughty.
112
00:09:28,167 --> 00:09:33,195
What I wouldn't do
to tear the clothes...
113
00:09:33,272 --> 00:09:36,537
right off your gorgeous little body
right this very second.
114
00:09:39,912 --> 00:09:42,972
When I get back from Stockholm.
Now, go on. Get out of here.
115
00:09:53,359 --> 00:09:57,921
She feels like I'm abandoning the class
two weeks before their final exam...
116
00:09:57,997 --> 00:10:01,660
which I am in effect doing
by going to Stockholm.
117
00:10:01,734 --> 00:10:04,567
You see, Simon?
At least my students are fond of me.
118
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:06,468
Oh.
119
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:23,055
I'd like to thank you all for coming tonight.
Some of you willingly.
120
00:10:23,122 --> 00:10:27,218
Some of you in spite of yourselves.
121
00:10:27,293 --> 00:10:32,731
Tomorrow I'm off
to claim my Nobel Prize.
122
00:10:33,766 --> 00:10:36,064
Joining me will be my wife, Sarah...
123
00:10:36,135 --> 00:10:38,262
who, I am certain...
124
00:10:38,337 --> 00:10:42,103
has only been able to put up with my manias
and eccentricities all these years.
125
00:10:42,174 --> 00:10:46,577
Because her definition
of "crazy" is so narrow.
126
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:51,709
Hell, she convinced a jury
that Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't crazy...
127
00:10:51,784 --> 00:10:55,345
thus, of course, negating
his insanity defense...
128
00:10:55,421 --> 00:11:00,051
and engineering
his terminal incarceration.
129
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:03,184
Sarah.
130
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:10,761
And we will be accompanied
by my one and only son, Barkley...
131
00:11:10,836 --> 00:11:14,704
who has just about ensured that my work
in single-molecule spectroscopy...
132
00:11:14,774 --> 00:11:17,766
will not have a natural heir.
133
00:11:17,843 --> 00:11:23,213
With his summa cum laude degree
from Princeton under his belt...
134
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:28,447
he has instead turned
his scholarly attentions to cannibalism...
135
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:32,617
and the challenges of Gameboy.
136
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:36,651
Now he just has
to figure out how to make a living...
137
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:40,062
out of such rarefied expertise.
138
00:11:40,132 --> 00:11:42,600
Barkley.
139
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:46,934
In 1975 when "Love Will
Keep Us Together"-
140
00:11:47,006 --> 00:11:50,965
- Go on. I'll cover for you.
- Thanks.
141
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:53,511
Hey, good luck with that girl.
What was her name?
142
00:11:53,579 --> 00:11:55,069
- Nice try, Mom.
- Hey.
143
00:11:55,147 --> 00:11:58,776
Be there at 9:00.
The flight's 11:30.
144
00:11:58,851 --> 00:12:00,910
And it was then that I realized...
145
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:07,353
that it was both possible
and necessary...
146
00:12:07,426 --> 00:12:12,090
to observe the spectra
from single molecules...
147
00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:15,497
in condensed phases.
148
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:20,198
Yes! Yes!
Damp with come.
149
00:12:20,272 --> 00:12:22,263
I fell back onto the bench...
150
00:12:22,341 --> 00:12:26,175
and suddenly I could understand
the woodpeckers.
151
00:12:33,552 --> 00:12:38,182
- Has she- Has she read yet?
- No.
152
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:40,487
Tits! Tits, tits, tits!
153
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,550
Tits.
154
00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:47,521
Thank you.
155
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:03,214
Hello. I'm City Hall.
156
00:13:03,282 --> 00:13:07,480
Tonight I'm going to read
from my "Rat Boy"poems.
157
00:13:14,827 --> 00:13:18,763
In the dark corners
of the more recessed cavities...
158
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:22,323
of Rat Boy's
small and wicked mind...
159
00:13:22,401 --> 00:13:26,701
here is where the parasites of iniquity
gorge themselves.
160
00:13:26,772 --> 00:13:30,264
You might think him a beast,
treat him as pariah.
161
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,833
You feign ignorance at insinuation.
162
00:13:32,912 --> 00:13:35,073
But you know...
163
00:13:35,147 --> 00:13:39,413
in the dark corners of the more recessed
cavities of your own little mind...
164
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:42,010
that your own fetid darkness...
165
00:13:42,087 --> 00:13:45,420
seethes in its unique mental waste.
166
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:06,474
Hey. Um, do you
remember me? Barkley?
167
00:14:06,545 --> 00:14:09,275
I introduced myself a few weeks ago.
168
00:14:09,348 --> 00:14:12,545
That was just-
You're so-
169
00:14:12,618 --> 00:14:15,985
- God- uh, good.
- Thank you.
170
00:14:16,055 --> 00:14:20,492
I am sometimes able to speak
in complete sentences.
171
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:22,754
There. That was one.
172
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:28,733
Suck my lips. Open yourself wide
to the great conquering me.
173
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,792
I'd love to talk to you sometime...
174
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:33,168
about your inspirations
or... whatever.
175
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:36,902
- Okay.
- O-Okay. Like we can talk now?
176
00:14:36,976 --> 00:14:41,675
- Sure.
- Wow. Okay. Yeah.
177
00:14:43,048 --> 00:14:45,573
I wish I could offer to buy you
a hamburger or something...
178
00:14:45,651 --> 00:14:49,087
- but I don't have any money at all right-
- I'm a vegetarian.
179
00:14:49,154 --> 00:14:51,850
That's a good thing,
especially if I ever have to eat you...
180
00:14:51,924 --> 00:14:57,487
because vegetarians,
they taste better than carrion eaters.
181
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:59,861
You see, I'm doing my Ph. D.
thesis in anthropophagy-
182
00:14:59,932 --> 00:15:02,162
- Cannibalism.
- Yeah.
183
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:06,034
- Everybody trivializes it, but there's a lot of-
- Who?
184
00:15:06,105 --> 00:15:09,404
Some cruel, small-minded...
185
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:12,205
Republican parental figure?
186
00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:15,244
He's a Democrat,
but the rest is accurate.
187
00:15:15,377 --> 00:15:16,674
Your father.
188
00:15:16,745 --> 00:15:18,372
Mm-hmm.
189
00:15:18,447 --> 00:15:20,938
I had a father.
190
00:15:21,016 --> 00:15:24,713
He found my journals
when I was 15, and he burned them.
191
00:15:26,922 --> 00:15:29,322
My poems. My thoughts.
192
00:15:29,391 --> 00:15:32,087
My drawings.
Everything I was.
193
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,151
Incinerated.
194
00:15:34,229 --> 00:15:36,220
Oh, my God. H-
195
00:15:37,666 --> 00:15:40,829
- How did you ever look at him again?
- I didn't have to. He died.
196
00:15:47,276 --> 00:15:50,973
"Love and pain become one and the same
in the eyes of a wounded child."
197
00:15:53,148 --> 00:15:56,584
"Hell is for Children."
Pat Benatar?
198
00:16:02,691 --> 00:16:04,682
My bike.
199
00:16:05,761 --> 00:16:07,353
Shit.
200
00:16:07,429 --> 00:16:10,262
I have a car.
201
00:16:19,574 --> 00:16:23,442
- Halloween?
- Originally.
202
00:16:23,512 --> 00:16:25,878
Now I just wear them
to freak people out at stoplights.
203
00:16:25,947 --> 00:16:27,938
All right.
204
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:34,046
- A gift from me to you.
- No. It's too generous. I couldn't possibly accept.
205
00:16:34,122 --> 00:16:38,183
Don't take that off!
I- I gave it to you.
206
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:40,694
You have to wear it.
207
00:16:57,312 --> 00:17:00,042
- So you're really broke?
- Yes.
208
00:17:00,115 --> 00:17:03,107
Prove it.
I wanna see your balance.
209
00:17:03,185 --> 00:17:06,120
- You're kidding, right?
- No.
210
00:17:07,889 --> 00:17:11,052
But you got to wear the mask.
211
00:17:11,126 --> 00:17:13,720
- I gave it to you. Come on.
- This is crazy. What?
212
00:17:15,964 --> 00:17:17,955
Crazy's just a choice, Barkley.
213
00:17:18,033 --> 00:17:20,228
O- Okay, okay.
214
00:17:21,636 --> 00:17:24,503
Hurry up, Barkley!
I'm hungry!
215
00:17:31,646 --> 00:17:34,171
You didn't lie to me, Barkley.
216
00:17:44,326 --> 00:17:46,487
Let's go back to my house.
217
00:17:46,561 --> 00:17:48,961
We could order some moo shu.
I'll pay.
218
00:17:54,369 --> 00:17:56,269
Wow.
219
00:18:08,283 --> 00:18:12,686
Do you have any idea
how talented you are? Uh-
220
00:18:13,955 --> 00:18:15,422
Okay.
221
00:18:27,869 --> 00:18:30,167
Wow.
222
00:18:32,441 --> 00:18:35,171
This is pretty, uh-
223
00:18:39,681 --> 00:18:44,641
You don't taste so bad to me,
carnivore that you claim to be.
224
00:18:47,422 --> 00:18:49,652
I promise you taste better.
225
00:18:50,724 --> 00:18:51,919
Whoa!
226
00:18:54,062 --> 00:18:56,826
Meet Marvel.
He's a thief.
227
00:18:58,033 --> 00:19:01,230
- Who morphs into a cat by night?
- No.
228
00:19:01,303 --> 00:19:03,294
He's a cat thief.
229
00:19:03,371 --> 00:19:07,205
He steals anything you leave lying around,
and then you never see it again.
230
00:19:07,275 --> 00:19:10,438
That would make me somewhat anxious.
231
00:19:15,183 --> 00:19:16,616
Barkley.
232
00:19:19,387 --> 00:19:21,412
Am I beautiful?
233
00:19:21,490 --> 00:19:23,185
God, yes.
234
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:26,550
Don't hurt me.
235
00:19:27,929 --> 00:19:31,387
I won't, City.
I promise.
236
00:19:32,734 --> 00:19:35,464
# Just ease your mind #
237
00:19:49,584 --> 00:19:52,018
# Just ease your mind #
238
00:19:53,021 --> 00:19:56,457
# Just ease your mind #
239
00:19:56,525 --> 00:19:59,153
# Just ease your mind ##
240
00:20:26,054 --> 00:20:29,683
Whoo-hoo!
241
00:20:29,758 --> 00:20:31,191
Oh.
242
00:20:43,104 --> 00:20:45,800
- I have to go.
- No, no, no, no.
243
00:20:45,874 --> 00:20:49,605
I have to go to Stockholm today.
I'll call you before I get on the plane, okay?
244
00:20:49,678 --> 00:20:51,669
Or from the plane.
Or both.
245
00:20:51,746 --> 00:20:53,907
Stay, stay, stay, stay.
246
00:20:53,982 --> 00:20:58,510
Just touch me like you did last night.
Please, Barkley.
247
00:20:58,587 --> 00:21:00,578
Okay, half hour.
Half hour I got to go.
248
00:21:00,655 --> 00:21:02,646
Mmm.
249
00:21:05,961 --> 00:21:08,657
I hope nothing's happened to him.
250
00:21:08,730 --> 00:21:12,291
Nothing happened to him.
He probably just found a way to get laid.
251
00:21:12,367 --> 00:21:14,801
This is so typical of that kid.
252
00:21:14,869 --> 00:21:17,997
It's not typical of him.
He hasn't dated anyone since Meredith.
253
00:21:18,073 --> 00:21:22,032
And that cost me $20,000
for a marriage that lasted three minutes.
254
00:21:22,110 --> 00:21:24,943
They were married for over a year.
255
00:21:26,815 --> 00:21:31,184
Ah, to hell with him. If he's going to be
this irresponsible, we're going without him.
256
00:21:31,252 --> 00:21:33,243
Oh, Eli.
257
00:21:33,321 --> 00:21:35,414
I got rid of all my wallpaper.
258
00:21:37,459 --> 00:21:39,859
- I like it without the wallpaper.
- The thing is...
259
00:21:39,928 --> 00:21:42,522
I found out that wallpaper glue...
260
00:21:42,597 --> 00:21:45,760
promotes the growth
of microorganisms.
261
00:21:45,834 --> 00:21:48,564
Hmm. The place
looks terrific, George.
262
00:21:48,637 --> 00:21:52,505
I like it. And the flowering plants,
they really cheer the place up.
263
00:21:52,574 --> 00:21:55,134
I'm living with pollen.
264
00:21:55,210 --> 00:21:57,701
I'm so-
The limo's here, and we're off now.
265
00:21:57,779 --> 00:21:59,974
I'll water the plants...
266
00:22:00,048 --> 00:22:02,710
tend to the garbage...
267
00:22:02,784 --> 00:22:05,617
and I'll make sure
that the outside lights are out.
268
00:22:05,687 --> 00:22:09,418
- Okay.
- And I'll make you a detailed report.
269
00:22:09,491 --> 00:22:12,790
Oh, thank you, George. Um-
270
00:22:12,861 --> 00:22:15,523
Could you just do me
one other small favor?
271
00:22:15,597 --> 00:22:19,533
Wha-Wha-wha-what was that favor?
272
00:22:19,601 --> 00:22:22,729
If you see Barkley, could you tell him
that his tickets are on the table...
273
00:22:22,804 --> 00:22:25,102
by the phone in the kitchen?
274
00:22:25,173 --> 00:22:27,164
Bar- But isn't he coming with you?
275
00:22:27,242 --> 00:22:31,144
Well, we can't seem to locate him.
I'm sure he's gonna be home any minute.
276
00:22:31,212 --> 00:22:33,578
He can take the car
and drive it to the airport.
277
00:22:33,648 --> 00:22:37,209
He can park it there.
Tell him I'll pay for the parking. Okay?
278
00:22:38,953 --> 00:22:41,717
Look, I'll look-
I'll look out for him.
279
00:22:41,790 --> 00:22:45,385
- Okay. Thank you.
- But I usually hear him come in with his bicycle.
280
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:50,090
Because when he hangs it
on those hooks, the whole floor shakes.
281
00:22:50,165 --> 00:22:53,566
- Okay. Thank you, George.
- I have to leave in 74 minutes.
282
00:22:53,635 --> 00:22:56,229
- Okay.
- Sarah. Sarah.
283
00:22:57,572 --> 00:22:59,233
What if I don't hear him?
284
00:23:07,315 --> 00:23:10,409
Ah, shit.
285
00:23:13,088 --> 00:23:14,919
Shoes. Shoes.
286
00:23:23,498 --> 00:23:25,523
Pasadena. City Cab.
287
00:23:50,725 --> 00:23:53,660
Taxi! We got to go now.
288
00:23:55,096 --> 00:23:57,690
Ten.
289
00:24:00,468 --> 00:24:02,459
Keep the change.
290
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:14,344
Mom? Dad?
291
00:24:17,786 --> 00:24:19,447
Hello!
292
00:25:25,453 --> 00:25:29,184
Hey, you've reached the Michaelsons.
Leave it at the beep.
293
00:25:29,857 --> 00:25:31,725
Barkley, this is City.
294
00:25:31,793 --> 00:25:35,422
I already know you're not gonna call me
like you promised because I know you're a liar.
295
00:25:35,496 --> 00:25:37,964
You swore you didn't
have any money last night...
296
00:25:38,032 --> 00:25:40,023
and yet, you hired a cab
this morning.
297
00:25:40,101 --> 00:25:42,069
I saw it, Barkley, from my window.
298
00:25:42,136 --> 00:25:44,001
If you lied about that,
you probably lied about everything...
299
00:25:44,072 --> 00:25:46,734
and I just wanna end it right now.
300
00:25:46,808 --> 00:25:49,834
I won't be hanging around, okay?
Good-bye, Barkley.
301
00:25:52,914 --> 00:25:55,109
Hey, you've reached the Michaelsons.
Leave it at the beep.
302
00:25:55,583 --> 00:25:56,844
You're laughing.
303
00:25:56,918 --> 00:26:01,014
I can hear it in your voice.
You've lost your shadow, Barkley, your soul.
304
00:26:01,089 --> 00:26:04,957
That's how you can be such a monster
to me now and feel nothing.
305
00:26:06,026 --> 00:26:08,086
Hey, you've reached the-
306
00:26:08,162 --> 00:26:10,596
Enough! Will you shut
the fuck up already!
307
00:26:10,665 --> 00:26:12,792
Barkley, this is your father,
and I'm angry.
308
00:26:12,867 --> 00:26:15,335
I just hope that whatever you're getting
out of your invidious behavior...
309
00:26:15,403 --> 00:26:17,598
- is worth it.
- Oh, you're angry.
310
00:26:17,672 --> 00:26:19,765
Well, fuck you, Eli.
I'm angrier.
311
00:26:19,841 --> 00:26:23,800
And my invidious behavior
is going to be well worth it.
312
00:26:32,952 --> 00:26:33,887
Shh.
313
00:26:38,693 --> 00:26:41,127
George Gastner...
314
00:26:41,195 --> 00:26:43,857
reformed obsessive-compulsive...
315
00:26:43,932 --> 00:26:46,196
now faces a great
personal challenge.
316
00:26:46,267 --> 00:26:50,068
You can do it, George. You can do it.
317
00:26:51,139 --> 00:26:55,303
Forget Barkley.
Forget his worried mother.
318
00:26:55,376 --> 00:27:00,678
Get in your non-polluting electric car
and go to work.
319
00:27:03,785 --> 00:27:06,083
Bravo, George.
Bravo.
320
00:27:06,154 --> 00:27:08,816
All those years at the
Billingsworth Psychiatric Hospital...
321
00:27:08,890 --> 00:27:11,188
must have really paid off.
322
00:27:48,329 --> 00:27:52,129
If it's busy, then he's there.
323
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,431
Damn it, Eli.
I told you we needed call waiting.
324
00:27:55,503 --> 00:27:59,098
- We really should be boarding, Mr. Michaelson.
- Doctor.
325
00:27:59,173 --> 00:28:02,631
Ms. Sighvatsson
is politely hinting...
326
00:28:02,710 --> 00:28:05,110
that the plane is leaving.
327
00:28:05,179 --> 00:28:08,273
And I, for one,
would like to be on it.
328
00:29:03,704 --> 00:29:05,695
Hello.
329
00:29:07,175 --> 00:29:09,166
Dr. Michaelson...
330
00:29:09,243 --> 00:29:13,475
the captain would like to say
how very pleased he is...
331
00:29:13,548 --> 00:29:16,642
to have you on board, sir.
332
00:29:16,717 --> 00:29:18,810
Because I won the Nobel Prize...
333
00:29:18,886 --> 00:29:23,550
or because I inspire
his latent homoerotic wet dreams?
334
00:29:25,026 --> 00:29:27,017
I'm so sorry.
335
00:29:27,095 --> 00:29:31,031
You see, the genius part
of his brain is so big...
336
00:29:31,099 --> 00:29:34,591
that it's just swallowed up
the civilized part of his brain...
337
00:29:34,669 --> 00:29:38,537
causing this monstrous
antisocial behavior.
338
00:29:41,309 --> 00:29:43,402
Take me to my captain.
339
00:29:43,478 --> 00:29:45,503
He can tell me in person.
340
00:29:45,580 --> 00:29:48,378
Please take your seat, sir.
341
00:29:48,449 --> 00:29:52,215
The seat belt sign is illuminated.
342
00:29:53,921 --> 00:29:56,412
Congratulations on your award.
343
00:30:11,005 --> 00:30:12,336
# Stay #
344
00:30:12,406 --> 00:30:13,532
# Away #
345
00:30:13,608 --> 00:30:15,599
# Single, enthused #
346
00:30:17,211 --> 00:30:19,111
# See how we dance #
347
00:30:19,180 --> 00:30:20,772
# Feel how it goes #
348
00:30:20,848 --> 00:30:22,816
# Straight to your soul #
349
00:30:29,353 --> 00:30:31,344
Whoa.
350
00:30:34,758 --> 00:30:36,453
# It's all right #
351
00:30:36,527 --> 00:30:38,893
# It's so clear #
352
00:30:38,962 --> 00:30:40,520
# It's too late #
353
00:30:42,032 --> 00:30:43,556
# It's all right #
354
00:30:43,634 --> 00:30:45,465
# It's so clear #
355
00:30:45,536 --> 00:30:47,299
# It's too late #
356
00:30:47,371 --> 00:30:48,702
# It's so clear #
357
00:30:48,772 --> 00:30:50,763
# It's all new #
358
00:30:50,841 --> 00:30:54,038
# What you feel
It's too late #
359
00:30:55,546 --> 00:30:57,241
# It's all right #
360
00:30:57,314 --> 00:30:59,441
# It's all right ##
361
00:31:24,975 --> 00:31:26,069
Hey, buddy.
362
00:31:28,145 --> 00:31:30,342
I can't understand what you're saying.
363
00:31:31,415 --> 00:31:32,609
What?
364
00:31:35,452 --> 00:31:39,252
The phone's traceable to a house
about four miles from here.
365
00:31:39,323 --> 00:31:42,121
Damn I'm good.
366
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:50,189
I hope you like oranges.
There's a tree out back.
367
00:31:50,267 --> 00:31:54,101
We got-We got lots of oranges.
368
00:31:54,171 --> 00:31:55,604
Ooh.
369
00:31:55,672 --> 00:31:58,140
Nice try. Here.
370
00:32:00,344 --> 00:32:04,781
You got to-
You got to dive for it.
371
00:32:04,848 --> 00:32:06,839
Dive for it.
372
00:32:22,132 --> 00:32:25,499
Hello.
Dr. Eli Michaelson, please.
373
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:27,730
Please help! Help me, somebody!
Help me, please!
374
00:32:27,805 --> 00:32:29,204
- Hey.
- Help me, please!
375
00:32:29,273 --> 00:32:31,434
Could you hold on a second?
376
00:32:32,743 --> 00:32:35,143
Hey! Help me!
Somebody help me, please!
377
00:32:39,782 --> 00:32:41,216
Don't do that again.
378
00:32:41,285 --> 00:32:43,276
The press interview is at 4:00...
379
00:32:43,353 --> 00:32:46,151
and it's being held
at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
380
00:32:46,223 --> 00:32:50,489
And then we're going
to a reception at the Swedish Academy...
381
00:32:50,561 --> 00:32:52,552
and then cocktails
at the Royal Swedish Academy.
382
00:32:52,629 --> 00:32:56,531
- And then we're expected for dinner-
- Fine. Fine. Drag us wherever.
383
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,660
I just have one question.
384
00:32:59,736 --> 00:33:02,204
Who pays for the stuff
in the little fridge here?
385
00:33:02,272 --> 00:33:04,900
Me or the apologetic
inventor of dynamite?
386
00:33:08,612 --> 00:33:12,173
Eli Michaelson, Nobel laureate.
387
00:33:12,249 --> 00:33:15,446
Hello.
I have your son, Doctor.
388
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:20,479
He will only survive
if I receive two million unmarked bills.
389
00:33:20,557 --> 00:33:25,517
Oh, bull. Cut the shit, Barkley,
and get your ass on a plane to Sweden.
390
00:33:27,598 --> 00:33:30,726
- I wanted to talk to him.
- Sorry.
391
00:33:33,270 --> 00:33:37,036
Well, if we're going to be prompt,
we'd best get a move on.
392
00:33:41,511 --> 00:33:43,411
He hung up.
393
00:33:50,187 --> 00:33:51,882
I need your thumb.
394
00:33:51,955 --> 00:33:54,981
- What?
- We send him your thumb.
395
00:33:55,058 --> 00:33:57,788
- He'll understand the magnitude of the situation.
- No.
396
00:33:57,861 --> 00:33:59,954
No. No.
397
00:34:00,030 --> 00:34:02,021
The thumb. No.
398
00:34:02,099 --> 00:34:04,499
That's-That's the opposable digit.
399
00:34:04,568 --> 00:34:08,299
It's not just a finger.
It's what separates man from beast.
400
00:34:08,372 --> 00:34:10,431
No! No, please!
401
00:34:10,507 --> 00:34:13,271
Please. Look, I'm begging you.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
402
00:34:13,343 --> 00:34:16,642
Hey. No. Look, look, look.
Let me call him. Let me call him.
403
00:34:16,713 --> 00:34:18,704
He's my dad.
He'll listen to me.
404
00:34:18,782 --> 00:34:22,013
My dad's a bastard, but he'll listen to me.
Let me talk to my dad. Please.
405
00:34:22,085 --> 00:34:25,486
He's an asshole. He is.
But he'll listen. Please, let me call him.
406
00:34:25,555 --> 00:34:28,820
I'll let him know how serious this is,
how serious you are. I will.
407
00:34:40,101 --> 00:34:41,832
What is that?
408
00:34:51,448 --> 00:34:53,780
- Hello.
- Dad! Dad! Do not hang up.
409
00:34:53,850 --> 00:34:56,648
Oh, much better without
the voice modulator.
410
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:59,120
No, that wasn't me.
That was-
411
00:34:59,189 --> 00:35:01,180
m- my kidnapper.
412
00:35:01,258 --> 00:35:04,227
Please, just listen to me, okay?
413
00:35:04,294 --> 00:35:07,161
I am being held hostage
by a very brutal man...
414
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:09,755
who's going to cut off my thumb
and kill me...
415
00:35:09,833 --> 00:35:12,324
if you do not agree
to his terms, okay?
416
00:35:12,402 --> 00:35:15,394
Dad, I'm in trouble.
417
00:35:15,472 --> 00:35:17,463
Trouble? You bet.
418
00:35:17,541 --> 00:35:19,805
Do you realize
how much I'm gonna have to pay...
419
00:35:19,876 --> 00:35:22,674
to change what was supposed
to be a free ticket to Stockholm?
420
00:35:22,746 --> 00:35:24,111
I'm scared.
421
00:35:24,181 --> 00:35:28,379
Stop fucking with me
and get your ass on a plane.
422
00:35:28,452 --> 00:35:29,851
A.S.A.P.
423
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,684
What are you doing in church?
424
00:35:32,756 --> 00:35:35,418
- Is Mom there? I wanna talk to Mom.
- What are you-
425
00:35:35,492 --> 00:35:37,256
Dad? Dad.
426
00:35:41,498 --> 00:35:43,489
Thumb time?
427
00:35:43,567 --> 00:35:46,127
- That was Barkley, wasn't it?
- He's on his way.
428
00:35:46,203 --> 00:35:49,434
- Hopefully, he'll make it in time.
- He's really on his way?
429
00:35:49,506 --> 00:35:51,770
He sends his love to you, Sarah.
430
00:35:51,842 --> 00:35:54,003
What was he doing in church?
431
00:35:55,579 --> 00:35:58,275
What kind of father treats
his own flesh and blood like that?
432
00:35:58,348 --> 00:36:01,044
Oh, he's a bad one.
Now that he's got the Nobel Prize...
433
00:36:01,118 --> 00:36:04,212
- he's only gonna be worse.
- The Nobel Prize he does not deserve.
434
00:36:04,287 --> 00:36:07,381
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm sure there's
all kinds of more worthy candidates.
435
00:36:07,457 --> 00:36:09,948
No! It was not
his technique. He stole it.
436
00:36:10,027 --> 00:36:14,691
He probably did.
You know, he is a scumbag.
437
00:36:14,765 --> 00:36:17,495
Who did he steal it from?
438
00:36:19,036 --> 00:36:21,596
- Harriman James.
- Who?
439
00:36:21,671 --> 00:36:24,970
Dear friend of your father's.
He's dead.
440
00:36:26,109 --> 00:36:30,273
Harriman James was my father.
441
00:36:30,347 --> 00:36:31,780
Sorry.
442
00:36:31,848 --> 00:36:33,281
I am.
443
00:36:33,350 --> 00:36:36,080
- I know what a shit my father can be.
- You have no idea.
444
00:36:36,153 --> 00:36:38,246
You have no idea what a shit he is.
445
00:36:44,094 --> 00:36:46,119
Fuck.
446
00:36:46,196 --> 00:36:51,065
Janet Polanyi, Cal-Sci undergrad.
September 2005.
447
00:36:52,702 --> 00:36:58,334
Rema Lahmani, professor of geobiology.
January 2006.
448
00:36:58,408 --> 00:37:02,640
Heather Phillips?
She's in administration.
449
00:37:02,712 --> 00:37:04,077
No.
450
00:37:04,147 --> 00:37:07,913
Beth Chapman.
That was taken three weeks ago.
451
00:37:07,984 --> 00:37:10,578
That man is a beast.
452
00:37:14,724 --> 00:37:16,919
That was my mother.
453
00:37:16,993 --> 00:37:21,157
She was married to Harriman James
at the time.
454
00:37:21,231 --> 00:37:24,530
He was a grad student
in chemistry at Harvard...
455
00:37:24,601 --> 00:37:28,298
who had a radical notion
that one could use laser excitation...
456
00:37:28,371 --> 00:37:31,306
with wide-field microscopy...
457
00:37:31,374 --> 00:37:34,969
in order to observe fluorescence emission
in a single molecule.
458
00:37:37,214 --> 00:37:40,980
This is Harriman's lab book,
September '72.
459
00:37:41,051 --> 00:37:45,545
Pages nine through 16.
460
00:37:45,622 --> 00:37:48,455
The genesis of single-molecule
spectroscopy?
461
00:37:48,525 --> 00:37:49,618
Yeah.
462
00:37:50,694 --> 00:37:54,721
Harriman James and Eli Michaelson
were best friends.
463
00:37:54,798 --> 00:38:00,293
So my father and your mother,
they had an affair?
464
00:38:00,370 --> 00:38:03,806
When my mother got pregnant...
465
00:38:03,874 --> 00:38:05,865
Harriman James killed himself.
466
00:38:07,244 --> 00:38:11,305
See, he knew he was sterile.
467
00:38:11,381 --> 00:38:14,680
- Does my father know this?
- Of course he knows it.
468
00:38:14,751 --> 00:38:18,152
- Do you know him? Have you met him?
- No.
469
00:38:18,221 --> 00:38:20,712
Wait. So you're my...
brother.
470
00:38:20,790 --> 00:38:23,384
Half brother.
471
00:38:23,460 --> 00:38:25,928
What's your name?
472
00:38:25,996 --> 00:38:28,191
Thaddeus...
473
00:38:28,265 --> 00:38:30,256
James.
474
00:38:30,333 --> 00:38:34,429
Look, I understand where
you're coming from, Thaddeus...
475
00:38:34,504 --> 00:38:38,702
and I even think that you're,
I mean, somewhat justified.
476
00:38:38,775 --> 00:38:40,709
Taking his Nobel Prize money.
477
00:38:40,777 --> 00:38:42,870
That seems like
the appropriate way...
478
00:38:42,946 --> 00:38:48,350
to avenge the memory of your fath-Thad-
uh, Harriman. Harriman James.
479
00:38:48,418 --> 00:38:54,288
You know what? Better yet, let the world
know who rightfully deserves the credit.
480
00:38:54,357 --> 00:38:56,951
- Right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
481
00:38:58,027 --> 00:39:00,485
All in good time, Barkley.
482
00:39:00,564 --> 00:39:03,931
- But now I'm gonna need your thumb.
- Thaddeus, we're brothers.
483
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,696
- No. We're half brothers.
- Please, no, hey!
484
00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:09,398
I wanna work with you on this.
I am on your side.
485
00:39:09,472 --> 00:39:13,602
Together. Partners.
Don't. Don't. Don't take my thumb!
486
00:39:57,887 --> 00:39:59,878
God.
487
00:40:03,727 --> 00:40:08,858
I bet the king farts
in the privacy of his own limo.
488
00:40:08,932 --> 00:40:12,265
And a lot of other places
if he eats like that every night.
489
00:40:12,335 --> 00:40:14,326
I bet he has a manservant...
490
00:40:14,404 --> 00:40:18,272
whose sole responsibility
is to take the blame for the king's farts.
491
00:40:27,517 --> 00:40:29,144
What's this?
492
00:40:29,219 --> 00:40:33,781
That came for Mrs. Michaelson
this afternoon, Doctor.
493
00:40:33,857 --> 00:40:38,260
Really? I'm not expecting anything.
494
00:40:38,328 --> 00:40:41,786
Well, open it.
The Unabomber is in jail.
495
00:40:44,067 --> 00:40:46,058
You open it.
496
00:41:24,741 --> 00:41:26,732
Hello.
497
00:41:28,778 --> 00:41:30,769
Oh, my God.
498
00:41:38,254 --> 00:41:40,722
Oh, yes.
This is subtle.
499
00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:43,816
I talked to Johannson in Stockholm.
500
00:41:43,893 --> 00:41:47,056
They're not gonna release the thumb
until they've run their own tests.
501
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:49,655
- How long will that be?
- I don't know.
502
00:41:49,733 --> 00:41:51,792
You might wanna find
a new hiding place.
503
00:41:51,868 --> 00:41:54,200
Under the flowerpot's too easy.
504
00:41:54,270 --> 00:41:56,966
- We've hid it there for 20 years.
- Okay.
505
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,032
So you've been lucky
for 20 years, Eli...
506
00:42:00,110 --> 00:42:02,101
and your luck just ran out.
507
00:42:02,178 --> 00:42:06,638
It was 10:15 when I went.
I was already late.
508
00:42:06,716 --> 00:42:12,552
I have to leave the house
at-at-at 10:09 to get to work.
509
00:42:12,622 --> 00:42:16,956
I waited.
I waited until 10:15.
510
00:42:17,026 --> 00:42:20,655
I usually leave at 10:09.
511
00:42:24,367 --> 00:42:26,597
I thought they said no cops.
512
00:42:26,669 --> 00:42:29,467
- Sir, do you have call waiting?
- No!
513
00:42:29,539 --> 00:42:31,769
Just a question.
514
00:42:31,841 --> 00:42:33,399
- Detective.
- Relyea.
515
00:42:33,476 --> 00:42:36,570
We checked every operating church
in San Gabriel Valley and came up empty.
516
00:42:36,646 --> 00:42:39,171
- Sorry, ma'am.
- Bill, we gotta go through these leads.
517
00:42:39,249 --> 00:42:42,116
I've been over
and over this in my head.
518
00:42:42,185 --> 00:42:46,417
I'm sure that's what he said. He was going
to Equator Books to meet a girl.
519
00:42:46,489 --> 00:42:50,255
Her name is...
Capitol Hill or something.
520
00:42:50,326 --> 00:42:52,317
Let's try the Equator Books thing.
521
00:42:52,395 --> 00:42:56,695
I didn't hear the bicycle.
I didn't hear him come in.
522
00:42:56,766 --> 00:42:59,997
I listened, Sarah.
I listened.
523
00:43:41,311 --> 00:43:45,145
Let me make you something to eat.
You haven't eaten all day.
524
00:43:45,215 --> 00:43:48,345
Max, I'm- I'm not hungry.
525
00:43:49,419 --> 00:43:55,187
The smell of Max Mariner's world-famous
scrambled eggs and burnt toast...
526
00:43:55,258 --> 00:43:57,556
will make you hungry.
527
00:43:58,928 --> 00:44:01,055
Does it have to be burnt?
528
00:44:01,130 --> 00:44:03,598
For you, I'll make an exception.
529
00:44:07,704 --> 00:44:10,104
- You're a good guy, Max.
- No.
530
00:44:10,173 --> 00:44:14,200
Not to everyone.
But I'm crazy about you.
531
00:44:16,913 --> 00:44:19,541
Sorry.
532
00:44:25,755 --> 00:44:28,223
But I would be worried.
533
00:44:28,291 --> 00:44:31,454
The thumb and, you know,
the violence of the act.
534
00:44:31,528 --> 00:44:36,261
But it's a real possibility
that it's not Barkley's thumb at all.
535
00:44:36,332 --> 00:44:41,395
There were four thumb-related
crimes in the L.A. area...
536
00:44:41,471 --> 00:44:43,871
in the last three weeks.
537
00:44:43,940 --> 00:44:45,703
Huh.
538
00:44:45,775 --> 00:44:49,108
I hope it is his thumb.
539
00:44:52,582 --> 00:44:56,109
If it's somebody else's thumb...
540
00:44:56,185 --> 00:45:01,350
then this kidnapper is
a calculating psychopath.
541
00:45:02,592 --> 00:45:05,220
He's thinking it through
step by step.
542
00:45:06,930 --> 00:45:10,957
And he doesn't wanna deal
with a suffering, hysterical captive.
543
00:45:11,034 --> 00:45:15,130
So he very rationally went out...
544
00:45:15,204 --> 00:45:17,900
and amputated someone's thumb...
545
00:45:17,974 --> 00:45:20,534
some random victim.
546
00:45:20,610 --> 00:45:23,378
Made his life a whole lot easier.
547
00:45:23,511 --> 00:45:25,775
On the other hand...
548
00:45:25,847 --> 00:45:28,441
if it is Barkley's thumb...
549
00:45:30,685 --> 00:45:32,676
then they're sloppy.
550
00:45:34,589 --> 00:45:36,580
And they are holed up somewhere...
551
00:45:36,657 --> 00:45:42,289
with my very bloody, hysterical son.
552
00:45:42,363 --> 00:45:46,129
And his anguish...
553
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:50,398
and his...
profuse bleeding...
554
00:45:50,471 --> 00:45:52,837
are making them crazy...
555
00:45:52,907 --> 00:45:55,569
and they are gonna be
a whole lot easier...
556
00:45:55,643 --> 00:45:59,306
to find or thwart or-
557
00:46:01,516 --> 00:46:03,507
or something.
558
00:46:05,186 --> 00:46:09,486
And Barkley will
never be good at golf.
559
00:46:11,959 --> 00:46:13,950
Requires thumbs.
560
00:46:16,364 --> 00:46:22,200
I lay there in a bath
of my own excrement...
561
00:46:22,270 --> 00:46:24,363
inhaling the pungent aroma...
562
00:46:24,439 --> 00:46:27,237
the smell of life's bottom line.
563
00:46:29,510 --> 00:46:32,604
The morning light bled
through the angry slats.
564
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,841
I feel like I need a shower.
565
00:46:34,916 --> 00:46:36,907
Powerful, isn't it?
566
00:46:36,984 --> 00:46:39,316
Capitol Hill.
567
00:46:39,387 --> 00:46:41,821
Does that name ring a bell?
568
00:46:41,889 --> 00:46:44,380
- There's a City Hall who sometimes reads.
- Hmm.
569
00:46:44,459 --> 00:46:48,020
- Provides to the craven and needy.
- Do you recognize this guy?
570
00:46:48,095 --> 00:46:50,529
Oh, yes.
That's Barkley Michaelson.
571
00:46:50,598 --> 00:46:52,589
That's his table.
572
00:46:52,667 --> 00:46:54,658
He sits there day after day...
573
00:46:54,735 --> 00:46:58,535
playing with his, uh, Gameboy
and daydreaming about cannibals.
574
00:46:58,606 --> 00:47:01,234
- Cannibals?
- Yes. His thesis.
575
00:47:01,309 --> 00:47:03,300
Strange chap, you know.
576
00:47:03,377 --> 00:47:07,871
I tell him that his father has won the Nobel
Prize, and do you know what he says?
577
00:47:07,949 --> 00:47:11,908
"That lucky fucking son of a bitch."
Can you believe that?
578
00:47:11,986 --> 00:47:14,853
Yeah. Well, you'd believe that
if you ever met his father.
579
00:47:15,922 --> 00:47:17,823
Anything else?
580
00:47:17,892 --> 00:47:20,360
Um, there's a bike, yes.
581
00:47:20,428 --> 00:47:23,226
It's been out there for days now.
I think it's his.
582
00:47:23,297 --> 00:47:26,232
- Thank you.
- Me?
583
00:47:26,300 --> 00:47:28,325
Excuse me.
584
00:47:31,072 --> 00:47:34,530
Hello. My name is Clifford...
585
00:47:34,609 --> 00:47:39,069
any my poem today is called
"Death by Drano."
586
00:47:39,146 --> 00:47:42,547
Byron was four
when he took his first sip.
587
00:47:48,322 --> 00:47:52,088
- There's maybe, like, 75 ahead of you.
- Decaf, nonfat...
588
00:47:52,159 --> 00:47:54,593
no foam, extra hot latte...
589
00:47:54,662 --> 00:47:57,324
and a box of Krispy Kremes.
590
00:47:58,833 --> 00:48:03,270
- Do I look cheap to you?
- Cheap? I spent 8.83 on that.
591
00:48:05,606 --> 00:48:07,631
All right.
What do you need?
592
00:48:07,708 --> 00:48:11,576
She goes by City Hall.
It's got to be an alias or something.
593
00:48:11,646 --> 00:48:13,511
You think?
594
00:48:54,055 --> 00:48:56,148
Merry fucking Christmas.
595
00:48:56,223 --> 00:48:58,657
I got something under the tree
for you, asshole.
596
00:48:58,726 --> 00:49:01,058
Santa's got a raging hard-on
for you, baby.
597
00:49:01,128 --> 00:49:04,359
Why don't you take
my Yule log up your chimney?
598
00:49:04,432 --> 00:49:08,368
Suck my North Pole, baby. You looking
at me, asshole? Merry Christmas.
599
00:49:08,436 --> 00:49:12,065
Fuck off, asswipe.
Come on and sit on Santa's lap.
600
00:49:12,139 --> 00:49:14,903
Naughty little girls make
my St. Nick stand at attention.
601
00:49:14,976 --> 00:49:17,206
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Hey, you bald motherfucker.
602
00:49:17,278 --> 00:49:19,906
What are you looking at,
shithead? Shithead. Shithead.
603
00:49:19,981 --> 00:49:22,313
Shithead.
Shithead. Shithead.
604
00:49:26,220 --> 00:49:31,351
Let's do a two-way. This Claus
likes it nasty. Suck my reindeer dick.
605
00:49:31,425 --> 00:49:34,656
Bend over and let me
fill your sock with my stuffing.
606
00:49:34,729 --> 00:49:37,357
Have a great holiday season.
607
00:50:05,860 --> 00:50:07,623
Hello.
608
00:50:07,695 --> 00:50:10,528
- Hi, Sarah.
- Oh, hi, Meg.
609
00:50:10,598 --> 00:50:13,398
I can't talk right now.
610
00:50:33,521 --> 00:50:36,081
- Hello.
- Listen to me carefully.
611
00:50:36,157 --> 00:50:38,148
I'm only gonna say it once.
612
00:50:38,225 --> 00:50:40,955
You are to put two million
in unmarked, untraceable bills...
613
00:50:41,028 --> 00:50:43,121
in the trunk
of the red Mini Cooper...
614
00:50:43,197 --> 00:50:46,394
in the atrium of the Puente Hills mall
on Sunday morning...
615
00:50:46,467 --> 00:50:48,992
at precisely 9:00 a. m.
616
00:50:49,070 --> 00:50:51,368
You are then to go straight home
and wait for instructions...
617
00:50:51,439 --> 00:50:53,839
on where to collect
your whining, miserable son.
618
00:50:53,908 --> 00:50:57,935
I see any cops,
the deal's off and Barkley's dead.
619
00:50:58,012 --> 00:51:00,344
- I need to talk to him before I deal with you.
- He's fine.
620
00:51:00,414 --> 00:51:02,746
I wanna talk to him.
I wanna talk to my son.
621
00:51:12,093 --> 00:51:14,084
- Mom?
- Barkley!
622
00:51:14,161 --> 00:51:16,356
Get me out of this.
Get me out of here, Mom.
623
00:51:18,732 --> 00:51:19,666
Got it.
624
00:51:19,734 --> 00:51:21,361
We're going to.
Bar-Barkley!
625
00:51:26,306 --> 00:51:29,605
I sent your parents
a severed human thumb.
626
00:51:31,377 --> 00:51:33,641
You sent my parents a thumb?
627
00:51:33,713 --> 00:51:38,047
Well, did you really think
we'd get their undivided attention...
628
00:51:38,118 --> 00:51:41,451
with just a picture of you
holding a newspaper?
629
00:51:41,521 --> 00:51:42,886
Whose thumb?
630
00:51:42,956 --> 00:51:46,050
Look, if I had actually
cut off your thumb...
631
00:51:46,126 --> 00:51:48,219
you would've been bloody.
632
00:51:48,294 --> 00:51:51,024
You would've been hysterical and
completely useless to me as a partner.
633
00:51:52,899 --> 00:51:57,666
It's okay to eat the dead
but not to amputate a finger?
634
00:51:57,737 --> 00:52:00,797
Confusing set of rules
you live by, Barkley.
635
00:52:02,609 --> 00:52:05,510
- I'm going to hell for this.
- "Hell is for Children."
636
00:52:06,646 --> 00:52:09,114
- What?
- Pat Benatar.
637
00:52:10,583 --> 00:52:14,679
If they let us trace them,
then they're sloppy. Let's go, guys.
638
00:52:16,289 --> 00:52:20,521
- What exactly does that mean?
- Barkley lost his thumb.
639
00:52:20,993 --> 00:52:22,561
I thought we already knew that.
640
00:52:22,629 --> 00:52:27,931
So here's how it's gonna go. While
your father is pacing in his living room...
641
00:52:28,001 --> 00:52:30,492
wondering if life
is better without you...
642
00:52:30,570 --> 00:52:33,334
Pasadena's finest will
storm the wrong house.
643
00:52:35,941 --> 00:52:37,068
All right. Stay down!
644
00:52:38,143 --> 00:52:40,579
We've, uh, made a mistake.
645
00:52:40,647 --> 00:52:42,842
Meanwhile, at the mall-
646
00:52:44,384 --> 00:52:45,874
Goddamn it.
647
00:52:45,952 --> 00:52:50,082
I told them, no merchandise deliveries
until we finish the framing.
648
00:52:51,257 --> 00:52:53,282
What am I gonna do
with all this shit?
649
00:52:53,359 --> 00:52:55,259
Construction crew
is just looking forward...
650
00:52:55,328 --> 00:52:57,626
to a few Saturday night
brews with the boys...
651
00:52:57,697 --> 00:52:59,927
and Sunday off with the kids.
652
00:52:59,999 --> 00:53:02,194
No, no, no.
I got this, fellas.
653
00:53:06,105 --> 00:53:11,202
The Mini was lowered
into the Atrium by helicopter.
654
00:53:11,277 --> 00:53:15,213
...while the police devise an offensive
so as not to be humiliated.
655
00:53:15,281 --> 00:53:18,307
From where it sits,
there's no driving it out of there.
656
00:53:18,384 --> 00:53:22,218
There's no access and no doorway
that's wide enough to drive through.
657
00:53:24,023 --> 00:53:29,256
At exactly 7:45 a. m., the southwest doors
will open for employees only.
658
00:53:29,329 --> 00:53:32,821
That leaves me with approximately
one hour to rebuild the car.
659
00:53:32,899 --> 00:53:34,594
No. I got nothing.
660
00:53:34,667 --> 00:53:39,161
Under no circumstances do we reveal
ourselves as officers of the law.
661
00:53:42,375 --> 00:53:47,438
Barkley Michaelson's life depends
upon our precision and restraint.
662
00:54:34,894 --> 00:54:36,953
What's he doing?
663
00:54:37,030 --> 00:54:39,328
The fuck if I know.
664
00:54:39,399 --> 00:54:41,458
Hey! No! Go get her.
665
00:54:50,143 --> 00:54:52,270
- I'm delivering it.
- Wai-
666
00:54:52,345 --> 00:54:54,336
Wait a minute, Sarah.
667
00:54:56,749 --> 00:54:59,115
Do you really feel comfortable
carrying it across a mall...
668
00:54:59,185 --> 00:55:03,417
and leaving it in the trunk of a car that
thousands of people are tossing raffle tickets into?
669
00:55:03,489 --> 00:55:05,753
It's everything we have, Sarah.
670
00:55:05,825 --> 00:55:09,591
It is not everything we have.
We have our son...
671
00:55:09,662 --> 00:55:12,995
who we love more than
any amount of money in the world.
672
00:55:13,066 --> 00:55:15,398
- There are no alternatives, Eli.
- Sarah-
673
00:55:15,468 --> 00:55:18,096
Damn it.
674
00:55:18,171 --> 00:55:20,469
I'll tell you.
675
00:55:20,540 --> 00:55:22,531
It's lonely at the top.
676
00:55:22,608 --> 00:55:23,870
Sir?
677
00:55:25,912 --> 00:55:28,278
You're lucky you're not a genius.
678
00:55:28,348 --> 00:55:31,749
If we get your son back alive,
Dr. Michaelson, we're all geniuses.
679
00:55:31,818 --> 00:55:34,184
At exactly 9:00 a. m...
680
00:55:34,253 --> 00:55:37,950
you will join the other 200
screaming families as they enter...
681
00:55:38,024 --> 00:55:42,859
and try to be the first 100
to receive their free MP3s.
682
00:56:53,766 --> 00:56:57,759
Once the drop is made,
let the fun begin.
683
00:56:59,839 --> 00:57:02,307
# It was just
one of those things #
684
00:57:02,375 --> 00:57:05,811
# Just one of those
crazy flings #
685
00:57:09,749 --> 00:57:11,273
# Just one of those things #
686
00:57:11,350 --> 00:57:14,808
# It was just
one of those nights #
687
00:57:14,887 --> 00:57:18,721
# Just one of those
fabulous flights #
688
00:57:21,027 --> 00:57:22,153
Whoa!
689
00:57:22,228 --> 00:57:24,196
# Just one of those nights #
690
00:57:27,633 --> 00:57:30,033
How could that be?
691
00:57:30,103 --> 00:57:32,367
Sir, it's driving away.
692
00:57:34,807 --> 00:57:38,140
# It was just
one of those things #
693
00:57:40,947 --> 00:57:43,040
It's a trap.
What are they do-
694
00:57:43,116 --> 00:57:47,348
# Now and then rings
Just one of those things #
695
00:57:47,420 --> 00:57:49,854
# It was just
one of those nights #
696
00:57:49,922 --> 00:57:53,551
# Just one of those
fabulous flights #
697
00:57:53,626 --> 00:57:58,723
# It was great fun, but it was just
one of those things #
698
00:57:58,798 --> 00:58:01,926
I think it's going
to the northwest entrance.
699
00:58:16,115 --> 00:58:18,583
We got him.
There's no way out.
700
00:58:18,651 --> 00:58:21,279
Who is "he" if nobody's
driving the car?
701
00:58:36,469 --> 00:58:38,960
# It was just
one of those things #
702
00:58:43,042 --> 00:58:45,772
Slow down! No!
703
00:58:45,845 --> 00:58:48,973
# One of those things #
704
00:58:49,048 --> 00:58:52,449
# It was just
one of those nights #
705
00:58:52,518 --> 00:58:55,214
# Just one of those
fabulous flights #
706
00:58:55,288 --> 00:58:57,882
# Trip to the moon #
707
00:58:57,957 --> 00:59:00,824
# Just one of those things #
708
00:59:00,893 --> 00:59:03,987
# It was just
one of those things #
709
00:59:04,063 --> 00:59:07,464
# Just one of those crazy flings #
710
00:59:07,533 --> 00:59:11,833
# One of those bells
that now and then rings #
711
00:59:11,904 --> 00:59:16,432
# Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights #
712
00:59:23,583 --> 00:59:25,574
- Holy-
- Uh-
713
00:59:47,306 --> 00:59:50,833
# It was just
one of those things #
714
00:59:50,910 --> 00:59:54,038
# Just one of those
crazy flings #
715
00:59:54,113 --> 00:59:57,241
# One of those bells
that now and then rings #
716
00:59:57,316 --> 00:59:59,477
# Just one of those things #
717
00:59:59,552 --> 01:00:03,147
# It was just
one of those things #
718
01:00:03,222 --> 01:00:05,782
# Just one of those
crazy flings #
719
01:00:05,858 --> 01:00:09,350
# One of those bells
that now and then rings #
720
01:00:09,428 --> 01:00:11,862
# Just one of those things #
721
01:00:11,931 --> 01:00:15,094
# It was just
one of those nights #
722
01:00:15,167 --> 01:00:18,068
# Just one of those
fabulous flights #
723
01:00:18,137 --> 01:00:22,108
# It was great fun, but it was just
one of those things ##
724
01:00:25,511 --> 01:00:27,502
I fixed the fluorescents.
725
01:00:28,981 --> 01:00:31,745
They were flickering.
726
01:00:57,576 --> 01:01:00,841
Back, back, back, back, back. Okay.
727
01:01:00,913 --> 01:01:02,904
We got him.
728
01:01:07,753 --> 01:01:10,415
Sir, you're gonna wanna see this.
729
01:01:30,142 --> 01:01:33,578
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
730
01:01:33,646 --> 01:01:37,138
# So you are the chosen one #
731
01:01:37,216 --> 01:01:40,811
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
732
01:01:40,886 --> 01:01:44,049
# So you are the chosen ##
733
01:01:58,003 --> 01:02:00,233
It's all there.
734
01:02:00,306 --> 01:02:05,334
One million dollars apiece.
735
01:02:05,411 --> 01:02:08,778
Holy shit, that's a lot
of fuckin' money!
736
01:02:08,847 --> 01:02:11,680
This is definitely one of the high points
of my entire life. Really.
737
01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:15,447
I mean, this- this ranks higher
than my first blow job by Eileen Salzer.
738
01:02:15,521 --> 01:02:17,751
She was the redheaded tuba player
in the 10th grade band.
739
01:02:17,823 --> 01:02:20,519
Higher than my first car.
740
01:02:20,593 --> 01:02:23,687
Higher than my second blow job. But that
doesn't really count, 'cause my mom walked in-
741
01:02:23,762 --> 01:02:27,289
Does it rank higher than your wedding
to the blue-eyed Russian studies major...
742
01:02:27,366 --> 01:02:29,834
Meredith Ma-a-a-s?
743
01:02:29,902 --> 01:02:33,201
- How the fuck did you know about Meredith?
- I just know.
744
01:02:33,272 --> 01:02:35,797
- What the fuck do you know?
- I know...
745
01:02:35,874 --> 01:02:39,207
that you couldn't get it up,
so basically she went shopping elsewhere.
746
01:02:39,278 --> 01:02:41,473
That covers it, right?
747
01:02:43,515 --> 01:02:47,575
Huh?
748
01:02:49,221 --> 01:02:51,951
- Brothers shouldn't have secrets, Barkley.
- Fuck you!
749
01:02:52,024 --> 01:02:53,558
God!
750
01:02:54,026 --> 01:02:56,221
"Fuck you. Fuck you."
751
01:02:56,295 --> 01:02:58,229
I'm taking my money,
and I'm going home.
752
01:02:58,297 --> 01:03:01,198
Oh, you go home.
753
01:03:01,267 --> 01:03:03,531
I'll kill you first.
754
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,000
Oh, you'd kill me?
755
01:03:11,076 --> 01:03:13,510
But you wouldn't eat me.
756
01:03:13,579 --> 01:03:15,206
Would ya?
757
01:03:32,731 --> 01:03:36,360
- Where'd you get the car?
- Same place I got the last one.
758
01:03:36,435 --> 01:03:39,734
Church. Sunday Mass,
everyone's busy praying.
759
01:03:39,805 --> 01:03:42,603
- You stole it?
- You make it sound like it's a crime.
760
01:03:42,975 --> 01:03:44,836
Come on.
761
01:03:59,358 --> 01:04:00,622
Howdy.
762
01:04:09,535 --> 01:04:11,526
So-
763
01:04:12,771 --> 01:04:14,762
- Swallow it.
- What?
764
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,502
When they pick you up,
they're gonna search every inch of you.
765
01:04:17,576 --> 01:04:20,443
Just swallow it
and wait for it to poop itself out.
766
01:04:21,947 --> 01:04:24,211
Fuck you.
767
01:04:24,283 --> 01:04:26,751
Either you swallow it
and go on stool patrol...
768
01:04:26,819 --> 01:04:28,912
or I'm gonna shove it
up your ass for you.
769
01:04:28,987 --> 01:04:30,978
Your choice.
770
01:04:46,905 --> 01:04:48,839
You spend a dime of that money...
771
01:04:48,907 --> 01:04:51,569
they'll track you down faster
than you can digest milk.
772
01:04:51,643 --> 01:04:56,342
I don't think we should talk to each other
again for at least two years- if ever.
773
01:04:57,483 --> 01:04:59,849
Can't say I'll miss you.
774
01:04:59,918 --> 01:05:01,852
It's been interesting
having a brother.
775
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,787
I never needed a brother.
I needed a father.
776
01:05:04,857 --> 01:05:07,655
Trust me.
You're better off without Eli.
777
01:05:07,726 --> 01:05:10,991
My mother hated me
because I reminded her of him.
778
01:05:11,063 --> 01:05:13,122
Okay. Well-
779
01:05:14,066 --> 01:05:15,761
Yeah.
780
01:05:17,703 --> 01:05:19,796
What the-
781
01:05:40,159 --> 01:05:42,627
You don't want 'em to think
you faked the kidnapping, do ya?
782
01:05:48,934 --> 01:05:50,902
Whoa.
783
01:05:54,373 --> 01:05:58,309
I'm Kelly Lange, and I'm standing in front
of the home of Dr. Eli Michaelson...
784
01:05:58,377 --> 01:06:01,437
who was just awarded
the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
785
01:06:01,513 --> 01:06:05,176
Now, it has been a week
of highs and lows for the Nobel laureate...
786
01:06:05,250 --> 01:06:09,050
who had to cut short his celebrations
with the king and queen of Sweden...
787
01:06:09,121 --> 01:06:12,215
to come back here and face
the iniquitous kidnapping of his only son.
788
01:06:12,291 --> 01:06:15,351
First you lose my money,
which is supposed to lead us to Barkley...
789
01:06:15,427 --> 01:06:18,419
then there's no word from Barkley,
who might very well be dead...
790
01:06:18,497 --> 01:06:21,489
and now I can't even leave the house
because there's a media zoo outside.
791
01:06:21,567 --> 01:06:23,194
Who informed them?
792
01:06:25,068 --> 01:06:26,066
Hello?
793
01:06:26,138 --> 01:06:28,265
This is Kelly Lange from KLPK.
794
01:06:29,641 --> 01:06:32,201
Ms. Lange,
are you standing in front of my house?
795
01:06:32,277 --> 01:06:34,507
I am indeed.
796
01:06:36,114 --> 01:06:38,048
Sarah, put the gun down.
797
01:06:38,116 --> 01:06:40,482
I think I have Mrs. Michaelson
on the line now.
798
01:06:40,552 --> 01:06:43,851
She's the mother of the boy who was
kidnapped, and we're told that she was very-
799
01:06:43,922 --> 01:06:45,856
- Ms. Lange.
- Yes?
800
01:06:45,924 --> 01:06:48,415
I have a handgun
pointed at your head.
801
01:06:48,494 --> 01:06:50,359
If you don't get the fuck...
802
01:06:50,429 --> 01:06:53,193
off my lawn right now,
I'm gonna use it.
803
01:06:53,265 --> 01:06:54,358
Look! She's got a gun!
804
01:07:00,639 --> 01:07:03,472
If we had call waiting,
it would be another story.
805
01:07:08,813 --> 01:07:10,407
Hello?
806
01:07:37,809 --> 01:07:41,506
Your mother and I would very much
like you to go to the hospital.
807
01:07:41,580 --> 01:07:45,573
- We'd just like to make sure nothing's broken.
- No. I want to go home.
808
01:07:45,651 --> 01:07:48,586
Okay. Okay. We're going home.
809
01:07:48,654 --> 01:07:51,623
Oh, God. I'm so happy
to have you back.
810
01:07:53,292 --> 01:07:55,351
I'm happy to see you too, Mom.
811
01:07:58,830 --> 01:08:00,821
Why does he have both thumbs?
812
01:08:00,899 --> 01:08:05,598
Eli, would you have felt better
about the two million dollars if he lost one?
813
01:08:05,671 --> 01:08:07,662
Lose the edge, Sarah,
and explain to me...
814
01:08:07,739 --> 01:08:11,835
whose thumb was sent to us in Stockholm
if Barkley has both of his.
815
01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:13,969
They threatened to cut off my thumb.
816
01:08:14,046 --> 01:08:16,412
How many of them were there?
817
01:08:16,481 --> 01:08:18,449
Two.
818
01:08:18,517 --> 01:08:21,384
Can you describe 'em?
819
01:08:21,453 --> 01:08:25,389
They had this thing over my head.
820
01:08:25,457 --> 01:08:29,154
Burlap sack.
It was dark.
821
01:08:29,227 --> 01:08:33,391
I was thirsty, and they gave me water.
I couldn't even swallow it.
822
01:08:33,465 --> 01:08:37,902
So, tell me, Barkley.
What was City Hall's role in all this?
823
01:08:38,937 --> 01:08:40,871
City?
824
01:08:40,939 --> 01:08:44,636
She didn't have anything to do with it.
She probably hates me right now.
825
01:08:44,710 --> 01:08:46,678
Can we just do this tomorrow, Max?
826
01:08:46,745 --> 01:08:50,841
We're never gonna catch these guys anyway.
I'm sure they're long gone by now.
827
01:08:50,916 --> 01:08:52,850
Gone where?
828
01:08:52,918 --> 01:08:56,820
How would I know? It's not like they discussed
their travel plans with me. Look at me.
829
01:08:56,888 --> 01:08:59,516
- Oh.
- See?
830
01:08:59,591 --> 01:09:01,650
- Oh, I hadn't-
- Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow.
831
01:09:01,727 --> 01:09:03,661
So, tell me.
832
01:09:03,729 --> 01:09:07,187
Do you even know City's real name?
833
01:09:07,265 --> 01:09:09,631
Yeah. Sharon Hall.
834
01:09:09,701 --> 01:09:12,226
Please, don't involve her, Max.
835
01:09:12,304 --> 01:09:14,238
She's really sensitive.
836
01:09:14,306 --> 01:09:17,139
And she's furious with me.
I promised I'd call her, and I didn't...
837
01:09:17,209 --> 01:09:19,541
'cause I fucking got kidnapped.
838
01:09:19,611 --> 01:09:24,173
- Please, will you promise me?
- You were kidnapped outside City's house, right?
839
01:09:24,249 --> 01:09:26,012
No. Here.
840
01:09:26,084 --> 01:09:27,449
Here?
841
01:09:29,154 --> 01:09:31,952
Bill, we gotta bring in
the forensics crew right now.
842
01:09:32,024 --> 01:09:34,549
- Here? Why?
- We messed up.
843
01:09:34,626 --> 01:09:37,527
Uh, Barkley was abducted
from this house...
844
01:09:37,596 --> 01:09:39,530
probably right after
you took off for-
845
01:09:39,598 --> 01:09:42,066
The kidnapper was in this house?
846
01:09:42,134 --> 01:09:45,900
Don't tell me that key's back
under the flowerpot.
847
01:09:45,971 --> 01:09:47,962
This is Sergeant Canepa.
Get me Forensics.
848
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,066
- 9.99.
- Viagra changed my life.
849
01:09:51,143 --> 01:09:55,978
I work neighborhood patrol
for Westec in the San-San Gabriel Valley.
850
01:09:56,048 --> 01:09:58,313
And I needed some cash-
851
01:09:59,384 --> 01:10:02,114
to get a burger from Tommy's-
it's open all night.
852
01:10:03,487 --> 01:10:05,281
Tell-Tell our audience.
853
01:10:05,357 --> 01:10:07,382
Tell our audience
what happened next.
854
01:10:07,459 --> 01:10:09,893
I was at the A.T.M.
on Colorado and Lake...
855
01:10:09,961 --> 01:10:15,490
when I was attacked by a man
in a paper bag mask with a butcher knife...
856
01:10:15,567 --> 01:10:17,127
who took all my money.
857
01:10:18,203 --> 01:10:20,262
And my thumb.
858
01:10:20,338 --> 01:10:22,966
What kind of- Paper bag mask?
859
01:10:25,043 --> 01:10:26,977
A grocery bag with these...
860
01:10:28,313 --> 01:10:31,771
stars for eyes and, uh...
861
01:10:31,850 --> 01:10:34,341
like, big carpet eyebrows...
862
01:10:34,419 --> 01:10:38,412
and this big, bulbous red nose.
863
01:10:43,895 --> 01:10:45,829
Barkley.
864
01:10:45,897 --> 01:10:47,592
The kind you'd make in summer camp.
865
01:10:47,666 --> 01:10:50,430
Barkley? Honey,
is everything all right?
866
01:10:50,502 --> 01:10:53,198
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm fine.
867
01:10:55,907 --> 01:10:58,808
How is Barkley?
868
01:10:58,877 --> 01:11:01,607
Honestly, he looks like shit.
869
01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:03,614
Oh.
870
01:11:03,682 --> 01:11:06,617
Well, if there's anything Pam and I can do,
don't hesitate.
871
01:11:06,685 --> 01:11:09,813
My son Ethan, who's at Oxford now
t- teaching linguistics...
872
01:11:09,888 --> 01:11:11,879
read about it in the London Times.
873
01:11:11,957 --> 01:11:13,891
He's- He's terribly upset
for Barkley.
874
01:11:13,959 --> 01:11:17,486
Re- Remember how they used to play
together when they were little boys?
875
01:11:17,562 --> 01:11:23,000
And remember when they were hauled in for
riding their bikes in the Thompson K-K-Koi Pond?
876
01:11:23,068 --> 01:11:27,562
Slow Ethan's teaching
linguistics at Oxford?
877
01:11:27,639 --> 01:11:30,540
Dr. Michaelson, I'm so sorry.
878
01:11:30,609 --> 01:11:32,133
Thank you.
879
01:11:37,082 --> 01:11:40,574
- Look at that.
- Oh! Come on, come on, come on.
880
01:11:40,652 --> 01:11:42,246
Sharks and vermin.
881
01:11:45,290 --> 01:11:47,850
- These are nice.
- I was so cruel.
882
01:11:47,926 --> 01:11:50,827
I left those savage
messages on his machine.
883
01:11:51,830 --> 01:11:53,821
I was so hurt when he didn't call.
884
01:11:55,267 --> 01:11:57,929
He promised to call.
885
01:11:58,003 --> 01:12:01,837
And then when he didn't call,
I wanted to hurt him because...
886
01:12:01,907 --> 01:12:03,738
I was so hurt.
887
01:12:04,910 --> 01:12:07,470
He would have called.
888
01:12:07,546 --> 01:12:09,537
Don't you think, Detective?
889
01:12:09,614 --> 01:12:12,105
Uh, yeah.
890
01:12:12,184 --> 01:12:13,583
Yeah, probably.
891
01:12:13,652 --> 01:12:16,485
- He liked me, didn't he?
- Oh, yeah.
892
01:12:18,123 --> 01:12:20,114
He liked my mind.
893
01:12:21,993 --> 01:12:23,927
- My art.
- Mmm.
894
01:12:25,864 --> 01:12:28,765
Oh, my God.
He liked my breasts.
895
01:12:32,938 --> 01:12:38,740
Uh, did you and Barkley plan to have
a date on the night of December 8?
896
01:12:38,810 --> 01:12:42,541
No. His bike was stolen from the Equator
and he needed a ride home.
897
01:12:42,614 --> 01:12:45,276
Stolen, huh?
898
01:12:45,350 --> 01:12:48,945
- And did you take him home?
- No.
899
01:12:50,355 --> 01:12:53,620
It was like we kissed...
900
01:12:55,460 --> 01:12:58,793
and suddenly we were consumed...
901
01:12:58,864 --> 01:13:01,662
by this raging...
902
01:13:01,733 --> 01:13:03,894
fire of passion...
903
01:13:03,969 --> 01:13:05,994
that just obliterated...
904
01:13:06,071 --> 01:13:08,403
the entire world around us and...
905
01:13:08,473 --> 01:13:11,499
the hunger and...
906
01:13:11,576 --> 01:13:14,841
thirst and desire
that we felt for each other.
907
01:13:14,913 --> 01:13:17,609
Right. Right.
And then afterwards-
908
01:13:17,682 --> 01:13:22,176
It was in the morning then
that you brought him home.
909
01:13:22,254 --> 01:13:24,154
That's the weird thing.
910
01:13:24,222 --> 01:13:27,157
- What?
- He took a cab.
911
01:13:29,995 --> 01:13:31,929
Why is that weird?
912
01:13:33,498 --> 01:13:37,400
If he had no money at all
the night before...
913
01:13:39,204 --> 01:13:41,434
where'd he get the money
for the cab?
914
01:13:41,506 --> 01:13:42,974
Hmm.
915
01:13:45,843 --> 01:13:47,711
I'm really sorry to bother you, Miss Hall.
916
01:13:47,779 --> 01:13:50,179
Thank you very much
for taking the time.
917
01:14:00,525 --> 01:14:02,686
City Hall original.
918
01:14:02,761 --> 01:14:04,991
Do you think she had something to do
with the kidnapping?
919
01:14:05,063 --> 01:14:07,031
It's pretty psychotic.
920
01:14:07,098 --> 01:14:09,225
But I'll tell ya.
It's not nearly as fucked-up...
921
01:14:09,301 --> 01:14:12,668
as the shit I saw at the poetry
reading at Equator Books.
922
01:14:12,737 --> 01:14:15,729
"Rats live on no evil star."
923
01:14:15,807 --> 01:14:18,207
That's Anne Sexton's epitaph.
924
01:14:20,276 --> 01:14:22,042
It's a palindrome.
925
01:14:23,415 --> 01:14:25,679
It is indeed.
926
01:14:35,460 --> 01:14:36,825
Oh!
927
01:14:36,895 --> 01:14:38,886
I'll have the chicken salad.
928
01:14:38,964 --> 01:14:41,194
It's on the house today,
Dr. Michaelson.
929
01:14:41,266 --> 01:14:43,860
After all you've been through,
it's the least we could do.
930
01:14:43,935 --> 01:14:46,597
Then I'll have the T-bone, rare.
Thank you.
931
01:14:48,139 --> 01:14:50,869
- He's coming to sit with us.
- Slide that chair away.
932
01:14:50,942 --> 01:14:53,376
Give him a break, will ya?
Guy's been to hell and back.
933
01:14:53,445 --> 01:14:55,913
Eli. Let me buy you lunch.
934
01:14:55,981 --> 01:14:59,508
Ruby got it already.
How about I take you up on it tomorrow?
935
01:15:03,989 --> 01:15:07,789
Oh. I saw all the reporters out
in the courtyard just now.
936
01:15:07,859 --> 01:15:10,589
Any more of that publicity
and you will be ensured a place...
937
01:15:10,662 --> 01:15:12,596
on the lucrative lecture circuit.
938
01:15:12,664 --> 01:15:17,867
You'd think the Nobel Prize alone would
ensure you that kind of notoriety. I-
939
01:15:22,838 --> 01:15:25,534
The snails are eating my basil.
940
01:15:25,608 --> 01:15:27,371
Look at- Scarred leaves.
941
01:15:27,443 --> 01:15:30,037
A week ago, these leaves...
942
01:15:30,112 --> 01:15:34,048
were plump, moist, unblemished.
943
01:15:34,116 --> 01:15:36,880
So, you never heard anything.
944
01:15:36,952 --> 01:15:38,943
I was listening for the bicycle.
945
01:15:39,021 --> 01:15:41,819
But you never heard
a struggle or anything like that.
946
01:15:41,891 --> 01:15:44,257
I wasn't listening for a struggle.
If I was listening for a struggle...
947
01:15:44,326 --> 01:15:46,123
then I would have heard
the struggle.
948
01:15:46,195 --> 01:15:49,062
- Maybe I didn't hear it.
- Right.
949
01:15:49,131 --> 01:15:50,758
I have to kill 'em.
950
01:15:50,833 --> 01:15:52,960
Who?
951
01:15:53,035 --> 01:15:56,937
The snails.
They have to die.
952
01:15:59,642 --> 01:16:01,007
Uh-
953
01:16:01,076 --> 01:16:03,476
Just a minute.
954
01:16:03,545 --> 01:16:05,479
Hey.
955
01:16:05,547 --> 01:16:08,482
You told City Hall
your bike was stolen.
956
01:16:08,550 --> 01:16:10,916
It was stolen.
957
01:16:10,986 --> 01:16:12,920
Your bike's in the garage.
958
01:16:12,988 --> 01:16:16,082
I brought it home
from Equator Books myself.
959
01:16:16,158 --> 01:16:18,023
No, I'm telling you it was stolen.
960
01:16:18,093 --> 01:16:21,893
Well, I'm telling you...
961
01:16:21,964 --> 01:16:26,594
you wouldn't be the first guy that told
a white lie to get a girl into the sack.
962
01:16:26,669 --> 01:16:29,467
Max, I asked you to leave her alone.
963
01:16:29,538 --> 01:16:32,166
Hey. She's crazy about you.
964
01:16:32,241 --> 01:16:34,539
She cried, carried on
when she heard what happened.
965
01:16:34,610 --> 01:16:37,101
So I wouldn't worry about it.
966
01:16:37,179 --> 01:16:39,773
Unless there's somethin'
to be worried about.
967
01:17:02,037 --> 01:17:04,665
Yeah, I remember.
968
01:17:04,740 --> 01:17:06,640
Kid's only got a 20.
969
01:17:06,709 --> 01:17:10,645
I don't got no singles.
I gotta count out 14 bucks of coins.
970
01:17:10,713 --> 01:17:13,147
He's anxious, jumpy and shit.
971
01:17:13,215 --> 01:17:15,183
I keep losing count.
972
01:17:19,655 --> 01:17:21,646
George Gastner?
973
01:17:21,724 --> 01:17:23,692
If he didn't have
the bicycle with him...
974
01:17:23,759 --> 01:17:25,920
I was listening for the wrong thing.
975
01:17:25,995 --> 01:17:27,986
George Gastner...
976
01:17:28,063 --> 01:17:30,930
formerly of Billingsworth
Psychiatric Hospital...
977
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,969
by way of Cheski-Vacuri
Psychiatric Hospital...
978
01:17:34,036 --> 01:17:36,596
with a brief stint in
the Fraser Scott Psych Ward?
979
01:17:36,672 --> 01:17:40,267
You're not here
about the bicycle, are you?
980
01:17:42,845 --> 01:17:44,836
# Would you like to
come in now #
981
01:17:46,482 --> 01:17:48,609
# Would you like to
come inside #
982
01:17:49,785 --> 01:17:52,083
# Would you like to
come in now ##
983
01:17:54,356 --> 01:17:56,290
City.
984
01:17:56,358 --> 01:17:59,725
I thought you weren't gonna show.
985
01:17:59,795 --> 01:18:03,526
- Sorry.
- Me too.
986
01:18:05,801 --> 01:18:07,769
I want to fuck you so bad.
987
01:18:07,836 --> 01:18:11,272
Ho, ho. I was hoping you'd
say something like that.
988
01:18:12,975 --> 01:18:14,966
But...
989
01:18:15,044 --> 01:18:17,035
I can't.
990
01:18:17,112 --> 01:18:19,103
No. We'll go somewhere.
991
01:18:20,349 --> 01:18:22,442
I'm with someone else now.
992
01:18:22,518 --> 01:18:24,145
What?
993
01:18:25,654 --> 01:18:28,452
Why did you even come here then?
994
01:18:29,525 --> 01:18:32,221
I wanted to say I'm sorry.
995
01:18:32,294 --> 01:18:35,661
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
996
01:18:35,731 --> 01:18:38,894
# So you are the chosen one #
997
01:18:38,967 --> 01:18:42,459
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
998
01:18:42,538 --> 01:18:45,166
# So you are the chosen ##
999
01:18:50,979 --> 01:18:52,970
Barkley.
1000
01:18:54,149 --> 01:18:56,140
What?
1001
01:19:06,028 --> 01:19:08,462
Why didn't I see this coming?
1002
01:19:21,510 --> 01:19:24,536
It's, um- It's right this way.
1003
01:19:28,517 --> 01:19:32,578
It's the, um, fireplace
and kitchen...
1004
01:19:32,654 --> 01:19:34,849
and, uh, bath.
1005
01:19:34,923 --> 01:19:38,415
Uh, I wasn't gonna
rent it out so soon after...
1006
01:19:38,494 --> 01:19:41,122
but we really do need
the money right now.
1007
01:19:44,766 --> 01:19:46,859
He seems like a nice young man.
1008
01:19:46,935 --> 01:19:49,904
- Hmm.
- Solid, works in used cars.
1009
01:19:49,972 --> 01:19:51,963
Cool.
1010
01:19:53,375 --> 01:19:55,809
And maybe you should offer
to help him unload.
1011
01:20:11,927 --> 01:20:13,861
He seems to have it
all under control.
1012
01:20:13,929 --> 01:20:16,864
Well, Barkley,
that's not very welcoming.
1013
01:20:16,932 --> 01:20:20,834
It's just, uh, my back's
been spasming all day.
1014
01:20:20,903 --> 01:20:25,237
It still hurts from when I was kidnapped,
so I really don't think I can help him.
1015
01:20:25,307 --> 01:20:29,607
You know, I- I did tell him about George's
suicide, but it didn't seem to bother him.
1016
01:20:29,678 --> 01:20:33,079
Hmm. Yeah. Some people
are just practical.
1017
01:20:33,148 --> 01:20:37,585
He has a lovely girlfriend
that lives in town. Oh. She's there.
1018
01:20:48,030 --> 01:20:50,260
Barkley! Oh, my God!
1019
01:20:50,332 --> 01:20:52,323
Um, I'm okay.
1020
01:20:53,635 --> 01:20:56,229
Cute couple.
1021
01:21:01,243 --> 01:21:04,144
- You think so?
- Yeah.
1022
01:21:04,213 --> 01:21:06,147
Yes.
1023
01:21:06,215 --> 01:21:08,740
It seems to have
hit its stride, really...
1024
01:21:08,817 --> 01:21:13,914
with all these options for making
quantum dots biocompatible...
1025
01:21:13,989 --> 01:21:17,823
therefore allowing
individual molecules...
1026
01:21:17,893 --> 01:21:19,884
to be traced in living cells.
1027
01:21:21,430 --> 01:21:25,059
And you sell used cars for a living?
1028
01:21:26,235 --> 01:21:29,568
I was a chemistry major
at Ohio State, but...
1029
01:21:29,638 --> 01:21:30,871
I didn't-
1030
01:21:31,139 --> 01:21:34,575
I didn't have the funds
to finish my degree, so-
1031
01:21:34,643 --> 01:21:36,634
Yeah. Now I'm in cars.
1032
01:21:36,712 --> 01:21:40,443
But you seem
to have knowledge that...
1033
01:21:40,515 --> 01:21:43,609
far exceeds the reaches
of undergraduate chemistry.
1034
01:21:43,685 --> 01:21:46,279
Thaddeus is like a star.
1035
01:21:46,355 --> 01:21:49,017
His brilliance is baffled...
1036
01:21:49,091 --> 01:21:53,221
by the congesting circumstance
of impeding planets.
1037
01:21:54,396 --> 01:21:56,830
Sharon is a poet.
1038
01:21:56,898 --> 01:22:00,299
But I'm a bit of an autodidact,
which I gotta- I gotta tell ya...
1039
01:22:00,369 --> 01:22:04,135
is one of the reasons I was very excited
when I learned my new landlord...
1040
01:22:04,206 --> 01:22:07,039
was Dr. Eli Michaelson.
1041
01:22:10,846 --> 01:22:13,076
Barkley doesn't even know...
1042
01:22:13,148 --> 01:22:15,548
how big a single molecule is.
1043
01:22:16,918 --> 01:22:18,681
Do you, Barkley?
1044
01:22:18,754 --> 01:22:20,016
Yes.
1045
01:22:24,259 --> 01:22:25,351
Generally.
1046
01:22:25,927 --> 01:22:27,361
Well...
1047
01:22:27,429 --> 01:22:29,863
obviously it depends
on the structure...
1048
01:22:29,931 --> 01:22:34,561
and the number of atoms
in the molecule.
1049
01:22:34,636 --> 01:22:38,868
On the small end of the range, it's of the
same order as the bond lengths, Barkley.
1050
01:22:38,940 --> 01:22:40,464
Oh.
1051
01:22:40,542 --> 01:22:42,476
Typically...
1052
01:22:42,544 --> 01:22:44,478
one to two angstroms.
1053
01:22:44,546 --> 01:22:47,344
Good boy.
1054
01:22:47,416 --> 01:22:50,010
Why don't you come visit me
at the lab sometime?
1055
01:22:50,085 --> 01:22:52,053
I think you'll find it enlightening.
1056
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:54,179
Are you serious?
1057
01:22:56,325 --> 01:22:58,418
That would be great.
1058
01:23:12,641 --> 01:23:14,700
What the fuck are you doing, man?
1059
01:23:14,776 --> 01:23:17,336
- That is a great man.
- What?
1060
01:23:17,412 --> 01:23:19,846
I could have made him so proud.
1061
01:23:19,915 --> 01:23:22,281
I would have followed
in his footsteps...
1062
01:23:22,351 --> 01:23:24,615
worked by his side.
1063
01:23:24,686 --> 01:23:29,419
- Carried on his life's work.
- Thaddeus, this isn't part of the plan. Leave.
1064
01:23:29,491 --> 01:23:32,790
He would have loved me
like a father should love a son.
1065
01:23:34,663 --> 01:23:36,927
Sorry, Bro.
I'm not going anywhere.
1066
01:23:36,998 --> 01:23:39,296
I'm gonna-
1067
01:23:43,939 --> 01:23:45,464
"Leave."
1068
01:23:46,541 --> 01:23:48,475
Maybe you should leave.
1069
01:24:34,156 --> 01:24:36,989
Hurry up. I'm hungry.
1070
01:24:39,327 --> 01:24:41,795
Hurry up, Barkley.
I'm hungry.
1071
01:24:44,366 --> 01:24:46,596
Hurry up, Barkley.
I'm hungry.
1072
01:25:25,406 --> 01:25:26,831
Yeah.
1073
01:25:26,908 --> 01:25:30,537
Hello. Good morning, Doctor.
1074
01:25:32,781 --> 01:25:35,181
- Yeah.
- Wow.
1075
01:25:35,250 --> 01:25:37,650
- Look at this.
- No. Actually, why don't you sit there?
1076
01:25:37,719 --> 01:25:39,653
Doctor.
1077
01:25:40,722 --> 01:25:42,883
Wow.
1078
01:25:42,958 --> 01:25:46,155
- This is a treat. Thank you, Thaddeus.
- It's my pleasure, Doctor.
1079
01:25:46,228 --> 01:25:48,196
Call me Eli.
1080
01:25:50,131 --> 01:25:52,395
Mmm.
1081
01:25:52,467 --> 01:25:56,597
Wow. I'd love the recipe.
1082
01:25:56,671 --> 01:26:01,040
- Unless it's a family secret.
- I like to think of us as family.
1083
01:26:05,914 --> 01:26:08,246
Does that include me?
1084
01:26:13,488 --> 01:26:15,047
Going somewhere?
1085
01:26:17,125 --> 01:26:19,252
It seems...
1086
01:26:19,327 --> 01:26:23,263
that you visited a cash machine
on the night in question.
1087
01:26:23,331 --> 01:26:24,889
Look...
1088
01:26:24,966 --> 01:26:27,901
I had one 20,
and I took it from City's wallet.
1089
01:26:27,969 --> 01:26:33,373
Because you found out
you only had $2.57 in your account.
1090
01:26:33,441 --> 01:26:35,705
I checked the bank records.
1091
01:26:35,777 --> 01:26:38,405
You're saying that
you stole 20 from City?
1092
01:26:38,480 --> 01:26:41,244
- I didn't steal it. I left an I.O.U.
- She never said...
1093
01:26:41,316 --> 01:26:45,116
anything to me about an I.O.U.
1094
01:26:45,186 --> 01:26:47,711
You know her cat?
1095
01:26:49,024 --> 01:26:51,584
She's got this cat.
It's a- It's a thief.
1096
01:26:51,660 --> 01:26:53,958
- That's funny.
- What's funny?
1097
01:26:54,029 --> 01:26:58,398
A certain Wil Cavalere was assaulted
at an A.T.M. on the same night.
1098
01:26:58,466 --> 01:27:03,768
His attacker arrived
wearing a paper bag mask...
1099
01:27:03,838 --> 01:27:06,773
and departed with
Wil Cavalere's thumb.
1100
01:27:06,841 --> 01:27:10,902
- So?
- Bits of a paper bag and pieces of a bulbous nose...
1101
01:27:10,979 --> 01:27:15,040
were found in the middle
of the living room fireplace...
1102
01:27:15,116 --> 01:27:18,449
bearing traces
of Mr. Cavalere's blood.
1103
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,614
There was a fire going on in the fireplace
when I got home that morning.
1104
01:27:21,690 --> 01:27:24,523
- I told you this before, Max.
- Oh, God!
1105
01:27:24,593 --> 01:27:26,254
I mean- Look at me.
1106
01:27:26,328 --> 01:27:30,662
You don't- You- You don't think that
I'm actually capable- Wha-
1107
01:27:30,732 --> 01:27:34,168
It sounds like a tall tale to me.
1108
01:27:34,235 --> 01:27:36,795
Look...
1109
01:27:36,871 --> 01:27:39,362
your red Doc Martens...
1110
01:27:39,441 --> 01:27:43,377
turned up with traces
of Wil Cavalere's blood.
1111
01:27:43,445 --> 01:27:45,345
- I lost those shoes.
- When?
1112
01:27:45,413 --> 01:27:47,813
That night.
That night at her apartment.
1113
01:27:47,882 --> 01:27:50,146
- That's funny.
- What's funny?
1114
01:27:50,218 --> 01:27:53,585
We found those shoes
in your closet...
1115
01:27:53,655 --> 01:27:55,623
in a shoe box...
1116
01:27:55,690 --> 01:27:57,624
buried in the back.
1117
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:00,951
How can that be?
1118
01:28:10,772 --> 01:28:13,639
Barkley, honey, we need to talk.
1119
01:28:17,812 --> 01:28:20,576
Okay.
1120
01:28:20,649 --> 01:28:24,050
There is no love like a mother's love.
1121
01:28:24,119 --> 01:28:28,351
Mom convinced Max
to give me a chance to prove myself...
1122
01:28:28,423 --> 01:28:30,891
maybe to even help us.
1123
01:28:30,959 --> 01:28:34,417
Now I just had to figure out
a way to get Thaddeus to crack.
1124
01:28:34,496 --> 01:28:36,157
I could have loved her.
1125
01:28:37,265 --> 01:28:39,165
What are you doing here? Huh?
1126
01:28:39,234 --> 01:28:41,395
She unlocked something
deep inside of me.
1127
01:28:41,469 --> 01:28:43,403
You knew that...
1128
01:28:43,471 --> 01:28:46,702
and you took her away from me.
1129
01:28:53,848 --> 01:28:55,339
Uh-
1130
01:29:06,761 --> 01:29:09,093
Sarah.
1131
01:29:09,164 --> 01:29:11,064
Um-
1132
01:29:12,767 --> 01:29:15,565
Will you tell Barkley...
1133
01:29:15,637 --> 01:29:17,730
to stay out of my apartment?
1134
01:29:18,740 --> 01:29:20,731
He- He went into your apartment?
1135
01:29:20,809 --> 01:29:21,935
Yeah.
1136
01:29:22,010 --> 01:29:24,444
You told me a guy
killed himself in there.
1137
01:29:24,512 --> 01:29:28,141
- You didn't tell me your son was unstable.
- Wh-What did he do?
1138
01:29:28,216 --> 01:29:30,480
He threatened me.
1139
01:29:34,856 --> 01:29:37,347
You know what?
I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
1140
01:29:37,425 --> 01:29:40,258
I'll talk to him. Okay?
I promise.
1141
01:29:40,328 --> 01:29:43,593
Sorry.
Can you hand me the measuring cup?
1142
01:29:43,665 --> 01:29:45,098
Sorry.
1143
01:29:51,306 --> 01:29:54,742
I really like living here.
He's spoiling it.
1144
01:30:01,549 --> 01:30:04,609
Hey. I need some prints run on this.
1145
01:30:04,686 --> 01:30:07,520
No "hello"? No "how are you?"
1146
01:30:08,590 --> 01:30:12,082
I'm not big on foreplay,
but you treat me this way, I feel dirty.
1147
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,856
I need it A.S.A.P.
1148
01:30:14,929 --> 01:30:19,264
There you are.
Sweet-talk me, and I'm a pushover.
1149
01:30:28,573 --> 01:30:30,507
Three years ago, Sharon...
1150
01:30:30,575 --> 01:30:33,567
a. k.a. City Hall...
1151
01:30:34,912 --> 01:30:38,075
escaped from
the Gilissen Hospital...
1152
01:30:38,149 --> 01:30:40,515
for the Criminally Insane.
1153
01:30:40,585 --> 01:30:43,179
She was committed for
burning her father alive.
1154
01:30:43,254 --> 01:30:45,552
That's where she met
fellow patient...
1155
01:30:45,623 --> 01:30:47,614
Thaddeus James.
1156
01:30:49,694 --> 01:30:52,959
And it seems your father and I...
1157
01:30:53,031 --> 01:30:56,159
knew the James family
once upon a time.
1158
01:31:06,878 --> 01:31:09,642
It's F.B.I. business.
You know I can't talk about it.
1159
01:31:09,714 --> 01:31:11,648
When will you be back?
1160
01:31:11,716 --> 01:31:13,707
Couple of days.
1161
01:31:13,785 --> 01:31:16,185
We have cocktails
at the Pedersens' Friday night.
1162
01:31:17,855 --> 01:31:20,756
If I'm not back,
take your little friend Beth.
1163
01:31:20,825 --> 01:31:23,851
For God sakes.
1164
01:31:23,928 --> 01:31:27,728
I'm just helping her out.
She's having a hard time keeping up.
1165
01:31:33,404 --> 01:31:36,840
Thaddeus James.
Detective Mariner.
1166
01:31:38,109 --> 01:31:40,543
Well, is there a-anything
I can do for you, Detective?
1167
01:31:40,611 --> 01:31:42,841
Barkley Michaelson threatened you.
1168
01:31:45,783 --> 01:31:48,081
His mother, Sarah Michaelson,
told us about it.
1169
01:31:48,152 --> 01:31:50,882
Look, you know, the kid-
1170
01:31:50,955 --> 01:31:53,423
he seems harmless, but...
1171
01:31:53,491 --> 01:31:57,018
I'm here to tell you he's not.
1172
01:31:57,095 --> 01:31:58,790
History can't be denied.
1173
01:31:58,863 --> 01:32:02,424
I- I know that you're seeing...
1174
01:32:02,500 --> 01:32:06,698
that Sharon Hall that
Michaelson is obsessed by.
1175
01:32:06,771 --> 01:32:09,137
If you care for her...
1176
01:32:09,207 --> 01:32:13,234
I would take her very far from here.
1177
01:33:52,477 --> 01:33:54,411
Hello, Brother.
1178
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:59,473
By now, you should have found
a sampling of City's love juice.
1179
01:33:59,550 --> 01:34:01,484
She did put up a fight, but...
1180
01:34:02,553 --> 01:34:04,748
she's since been, let's just say...
1181
01:34:04,822 --> 01:34:06,756
subdued.
1182
01:34:08,493 --> 01:34:12,327
Look, I've kidnapped dear old dad...
1183
01:34:12,396 --> 01:34:14,523
and I want a million
for his release.
1184
01:34:14,599 --> 01:34:17,830
You can think about it.
I am patient.
1185
01:34:17,902 --> 01:34:21,429
Oh, yeah. I can subsist
for weeks dining on City Hall.
1186
01:34:21,506 --> 01:34:26,068
But if I do not receive the money
by the time City's flesh has been consumed...
1187
01:34:26,143 --> 01:34:29,044
well, at that point
I'm gonna have to embark...
1188
01:34:29,113 --> 01:34:34,073
on the less savory task
of consuming our father.
1189
01:34:34,151 --> 01:34:36,779
I'm gonna need some
pretty heavy marinade for that.
1190
01:34:53,104 --> 01:34:56,631
Have you lost your mind, Barkley?
1191
01:34:56,707 --> 01:34:59,642
You needed to know
what it feels like to be kidnapped.
1192
01:35:11,622 --> 01:35:13,556
So...
1193
01:35:14,926 --> 01:35:17,087
Harriman James.
1194
01:35:17,161 --> 01:35:21,257
You fucked his wife,
stole his theories, drove him to suicide.
1195
01:35:21,332 --> 01:35:23,323
Oh, bullshit.
1196
01:35:25,703 --> 01:35:30,402
Glynnis James was cute and she screwed
a lot of men, but I was not one of them.
1197
01:35:30,474 --> 01:35:32,635
So how do you explain
all the checks?
1198
01:35:33,511 --> 01:35:35,274
What checks?
1199
01:35:36,747 --> 01:35:40,683
All the checks that you sent her
throughout the years. Hmm?
1200
01:35:47,825 --> 01:35:51,386
Harriman James was my friend.
1201
01:35:51,462 --> 01:35:53,987
He left his pregnant wife...
1202
01:35:54,065 --> 01:35:56,056
penniless.
1203
01:35:56,133 --> 01:35:59,967
When I could, I helped her out.
1204
01:36:00,037 --> 01:36:02,437
That's really touching.
It is.
1205
01:36:02,506 --> 01:36:05,134
I just don't understand why
you would be nice to her...
1206
01:36:05,209 --> 01:36:07,803
when you've never been nice
to anyone in your entire fuckin' life!
1207
01:36:07,878 --> 01:36:10,403
Because I do not believe
in helping those...
1208
01:36:10,481 --> 01:36:13,177
who can help themselves,
like you, for instance.
1209
01:36:13,250 --> 01:36:16,310
Oh, I have a mountain of anger...
1210
01:36:16,387 --> 01:36:21,654
and, uh, I'd say a fair amount
of despair that informs...
1211
01:36:21,726 --> 01:36:23,717
pretty much everything that I do.
1212
01:36:23,794 --> 01:36:26,388
Do you know where that stems from?
1213
01:36:26,464 --> 01:36:30,400
Being born the son
of an asshole like you.
1214
01:36:30,468 --> 01:36:32,732
- What are you talking about?
- Harriman James...
1215
01:36:32,803 --> 01:36:36,830
had nothing to do with your Nobel Prize-winning
work in single-molecule spectroscopy?
1216
01:36:36,907 --> 01:36:39,307
He piddled around in it.
I made it work.
1217
01:36:39,377 --> 01:36:41,004
Do you really think...
1218
01:36:41,078 --> 01:36:44,878
that holding me for ransom
is gonna accomplish anything?
1219
01:36:44,949 --> 01:36:48,510
And besides, who do you think is gonna pay?
Your mother is broke, Barkley.
1220
01:36:48,586 --> 01:36:50,884
Thaddeus is going to pay.
1221
01:36:50,955 --> 01:36:53,423
- Thaddeus?
- Thaddeus James.
1222
01:36:53,491 --> 01:36:55,425
Your son.
1223
01:36:57,495 --> 01:37:00,862
Even if he was my son,
which he is not...
1224
01:37:00,931 --> 01:37:02,865
how is he gonna pay?
1225
01:37:02,933 --> 01:37:06,494
He's a used car dealer, huh? Where's
he gonna come up with that kind of money?
1226
01:37:06,570 --> 01:37:08,663
Uh, Thaddeus was my kidnapper.
1227
01:37:09,974 --> 01:37:13,034
If any of this is true...
1228
01:37:13,110 --> 01:37:15,374
why are you telling me this now?
1229
01:37:20,017 --> 01:37:22,713
Because up until now,
Thaddeus held all the cards.
1230
01:37:22,787 --> 01:37:25,722
Until I realized
that he wasn't lying...
1231
01:37:25,790 --> 01:37:28,350
about you and Harriman.
1232
01:37:28,426 --> 01:37:31,395
Look at this.
Recognize this?
1233
01:37:31,462 --> 01:37:33,862
Oh, yeah. I scanned it.
1234
01:37:33,931 --> 01:37:36,627
And I can have it all over
the Internet in seconds.
1235
01:37:40,971 --> 01:37:43,030
Your little talk didn't work.
1236
01:37:49,580 --> 01:37:53,516
Well, Barkley is my son,
and I love him...
1237
01:37:53,584 --> 01:37:56,144
but I think we should
call the police.
1238
01:37:56,220 --> 01:37:58,211
No police.
1239
01:37:58,289 --> 01:38:00,985
He's gotta be-
1240
01:38:01,058 --> 01:38:02,992
He's gotta be bluffing.
1241
01:38:07,465 --> 01:38:10,491
Uh, delivery for Thaddeus James.
1242
01:38:11,869 --> 01:38:13,860
Hey. Just sign here.
1243
01:38:16,974 --> 01:38:19,033
Good night.
1244
01:38:26,183 --> 01:38:28,174
I didn't order anything.
1245
01:38:44,635 --> 01:38:46,626
"Preheat oven to 350.
1246
01:38:46,704 --> 01:38:49,172
Cook for 20 minutes
or until golden brown."
1247
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:51,231
What?
1248
01:39:04,487 --> 01:39:05,449
What is it?
1249
01:39:05,523 --> 01:39:07,218
Oh, God.
1250
01:39:07,291 --> 01:39:10,783
The sick fucker.
1251
01:39:11,695 --> 01:39:13,959
I think it's City.
1252
01:39:16,031 --> 01:39:17,228
Not again.
1253
01:39:17,301 --> 01:39:19,667
He threatened
to do this to Meredith...
1254
01:39:19,737 --> 01:39:21,967
but I never thought
he would actually-
1255
01:39:22,039 --> 01:39:24,030
I just found my dad.
1256
01:39:24,108 --> 01:39:27,202
I'm not gonna let
that crazy bastard eat him.
1257
01:39:32,850 --> 01:39:36,013
- Hello?
- Hello, Brother.
1258
01:39:36,086 --> 01:39:39,351
Want the recipe?
It's an old family secret.
1259
01:39:39,423 --> 01:39:41,220
Put the money...
1260
01:39:41,292 --> 01:39:43,192
in Aunt Lillie's old beige carry-on.
1261
01:39:43,260 --> 01:39:45,194
Mom will find it for you.
1262
01:39:45,262 --> 01:39:48,060
Go to the bus station in
Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley.
1263
01:39:48,132 --> 01:39:50,692
It'll take you
six hours by car.
1264
01:39:50,768 --> 01:39:55,000
Put the money in locker number 126.
1265
01:39:55,072 --> 01:39:56,835
Close it. Lock it.
1266
01:39:56,907 --> 01:39:59,899
Get in your stolen car and go home.
1267
01:40:10,254 --> 01:40:13,280
At 7:00 sharp, answer your phone...
1268
01:40:13,357 --> 01:40:16,952
- or else dear old dad is cooked.
- Fuck!
1269
01:40:27,104 --> 01:40:30,301
"Among the anthropophagi...
1270
01:40:30,374 --> 01:40:32,309
"people's friends are people's sarcophagi."
1271
01:41:44,048 --> 01:41:46,016
Now what?
1272
01:41:46,083 --> 01:41:48,881
Photographs,
courtesy of Thaddeus James.
1273
01:41:51,422 --> 01:41:54,448
Far too many shots
of your philandering penis for my taste.
1274
01:41:54,525 --> 01:41:55,822
Mom deserves better.
1275
01:42:02,599 --> 01:42:04,624
Ain't that the truth.
1276
01:42:04,702 --> 01:42:07,535
But I'll always love you, Eli,
'cause you gave me Barkley.
1277
01:42:07,604 --> 01:42:09,504
Please believe me.
1278
01:42:09,573 --> 01:42:13,373
You are the only woman I ever loved.
1279
01:42:13,444 --> 01:42:17,642
We're getting divorced, Eli,
and I'm taking you to the cleaners.
1280
01:42:17,715 --> 01:42:19,683
Well...
1281
01:42:19,750 --> 01:42:21,684
good luck.
1282
01:42:21,752 --> 01:42:24,016
I don't need luck.
1283
01:42:24,088 --> 01:42:27,319
A D.N.A. test will link you
to Thaddeus's paternity.
1284
01:42:27,391 --> 01:42:32,260
And Harriman's papers will bring the merits
of your Nobel Prize into question.
1285
01:42:33,330 --> 01:42:35,355
Imagine the humiliation.
1286
01:42:39,870 --> 01:42:45,172
I bet it was your idea,
this whole kidnapping thing, wasn't it?
1287
01:42:45,242 --> 01:42:48,006
No. Actually, it was all Barkley.
1288
01:42:49,079 --> 01:42:52,048
Clever kid,
that son of ours.
1289
01:42:52,116 --> 01:42:55,279
Guess I really do
take after you, Dad.
1290
01:43:11,101 --> 01:43:14,798
I can't believe I'm getting money-laundering
instructions from my mother.
1291
01:43:14,872 --> 01:43:17,568
We're splitting that money 50-50.
1292
01:43:25,682 --> 01:43:27,309
Max?
1293
01:43:29,987 --> 01:43:32,547
It's your one mil.
1294
01:43:32,623 --> 01:43:35,490
Figured if I returned it
to you legitimately...
1295
01:43:35,559 --> 01:43:37,790
Eli would be getting 50% in the divorce, so-
1296
01:43:38,862 --> 01:43:41,558
And this way...
1297
01:43:41,632 --> 01:43:43,566
you could share it with me.
1298
01:43:45,335 --> 01:43:47,769
We could live pretty well
on this in Montana.
1299
01:43:51,141 --> 01:43:54,599
I'm not leaving my job.
1300
01:43:54,678 --> 01:43:55,667
That'd be fine.
1301
01:44:05,856 --> 01:44:07,517
Hi, Barkley.
1302
01:44:10,194 --> 01:44:12,287
Max.
1303
01:44:12,362 --> 01:44:15,593
Surveillance tape from the mall.
1304
01:44:18,202 --> 01:44:20,329
Nice disguise.
1305
01:44:21,939 --> 01:44:24,169
But I gotta ask you.
1306
01:44:25,242 --> 01:44:28,006
The breast...
1307
01:44:28,078 --> 01:44:30,205
with the string beans on the side.
1308
01:44:31,281 --> 01:44:34,182
Marzipan.
1309
01:44:34,251 --> 01:44:36,185
A marzipan breast.
1310
01:44:36,253 --> 01:44:39,188
A gallon of blood.
You can buy anything in L.A.
1311
01:44:39,256 --> 01:44:41,850
As for City,
Mom arranged for her to go back...
1312
01:44:41,925 --> 01:44:44,587
to the Gilissen Hospital
for the Criminally Insane...
1313
01:44:44,661 --> 01:44:46,677
where I am sure that her artwork
will never fully be appreciated.
1314
01:44:46,712 --> 01:44:48,694
where I am sure that her artwork
will never fully be appreciated.
1315
01:44:48,763 --> 01:44:52,290
We make our choices, don't we, City?
1316
01:44:55,402 --> 01:44:58,098
Sometimes they're made for us, baby.
1317
01:45:02,710 --> 01:45:05,645
I finished my thesis.
1318
01:45:05,713 --> 01:45:07,305
I even got it published.
1319
01:45:08,916 --> 01:45:11,783
To quote the jacket cover:
1320
01:45:11,852 --> 01:45:14,377
"It isn't evil to eat the dead.
1321
01:45:15,456 --> 01:45:17,447
"It's recycling.
1322
01:45:19,126 --> 01:45:22,755
"True evil is to eat a man alive."
1323
01:45:53,527 --> 01:45:55,518
Dr. Michaelson?
1324
01:45:55,596 --> 01:45:57,587
Mm-hmm.
1325
01:45:57,665 --> 01:46:00,725
I'm- I'm having trouble
understanding...
1326
01:46:00,801 --> 01:46:03,065
how to derive
the transition kinetics...
1327
01:46:03,137 --> 01:46:07,233
from the autocorrelation function
using the photon counting measurements.
1328
01:46:09,076 --> 01:46:11,067
Ah.
1329
01:46:12,346 --> 01:46:15,543
Kinetics. Yes.
1330
01:46:19,787 --> 01:46:24,247
Just like a measly molecule,
man can so swiftly go...
1331
01:46:24,325 --> 01:46:28,785
from a glorious state
of high energy...
1332
01:46:28,863 --> 01:46:32,196
to an ignominious one of isolation.
1333
01:46:38,739 --> 01:46:41,105
But then again...
1334
01:46:41,175 --> 01:46:47,045
a molecule that interacts
with other molecules...
1335
01:46:48,883 --> 01:46:51,875
has a much greater potential...
1336
01:46:54,388 --> 01:46:56,356
to luminesce.
1337
01:46:56,423 --> 01:46:58,618
Sir?
1338
01:46:58,692 --> 01:47:00,956
I'm free tonight.
1339
01:47:04,298 --> 01:47:06,289
And you?
1340
01:47:19,079 --> 01:47:22,947
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
1341
01:47:23,017 --> 01:47:26,714
# So you are the chosen one #
1342
01:47:26,787 --> 01:47:30,450
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
1343
01:47:30,524 --> 01:47:33,357
# So you are the chosen #
1344
01:47:33,427 --> 01:47:35,588
# Nobel son #
1345
01:47:48,375 --> 01:47:50,536
# Nobel son #
1346
01:48:20,507 --> 01:48:24,273
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
1347
01:48:24,345 --> 01:48:28,076
# So you are the chosen one #
1348
01:48:28,148 --> 01:48:31,948
# Oh, you're such
a twisted one #
1349
01:48:32,019 --> 01:48:34,544
# So you are the chosen #
1350
01:48:34,621 --> 01:48:36,680
# Nobel son ##
1351
01:48:51,205 --> 01:48:53,833
# You started off empty #
1352
01:48:53,907 --> 01:48:56,740
# But didn't know why #
1353
01:48:56,810 --> 01:48:59,278
# I tried to be honest #
1354
01:48:59,346 --> 01:49:02,008
# So you wouldn't cry #
1355
01:49:02,082 --> 01:49:04,516
# You gave me your heart #
1356
01:49:04,585 --> 01:49:08,783
# I gave you my soul #
1357
01:49:08,856 --> 01:49:12,587
# We promised
not to lose control #
1358
01:49:12,659 --> 01:49:15,127
# We gave up so much #
1359
01:49:16,196 --> 01:49:17,823
# That life had to live #
1360
01:49:17,898 --> 01:49:20,389
# We gave up so much #
1361
01:49:20,467 --> 01:49:22,867
# That we shouldn't give #
1362
01:49:22,936 --> 01:49:24,870
# We're both lonely now #
1363
01:49:24,938 --> 01:49:28,169
# Afraid to trust
in who we are #
1364
01:49:28,242 --> 01:49:30,938
# The love that
brought us together #
1365
01:49:31,011 --> 01:49:33,980
# It's now tearing us apart #
1366
01:49:34,048 --> 01:49:36,676
# If you feel it in your soul #
1367
01:49:36,750 --> 01:49:39,344
# And you want to be alone #
1368
01:49:39,420 --> 01:49:41,820
# If you're losing all control #
1369
01:49:41,889 --> 01:49:44,517
# Then you've got to let go #
1370
01:49:44,591 --> 01:49:47,458
# You can't lie here anymore #
1371
01:49:47,528 --> 01:49:50,088
# Pretending you don't feel #
1372
01:49:50,164 --> 01:49:52,724
# Either lose me
in your dreams #
1373
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:55,598
# Or let me be real ##
