Yeah, good.
You settling in OK?
Yeah, everything's going really well.
Busy little beaver, aren't you?
(LAUGHS)
Marty, what's...
Don't touch her.
Don't grab her, pinch her or lay your hands on her, you pig.
Got it?
It's just a bit of fun.
Jesus!
No.
Respect her.
OK, OK.
I'm sorry!
To her.
Sorry.
You...
(PANTS)
(PANTS)
Oh, OK.
Whoa!
(GIGGLES)
Your mum will be so pleased.
You're the good daughter, making afternoon tea.
She'll free you.
I hope so!
Mmm.
So good!
(SNIFFS)
|
Are they burning?
No.
Oh.
Yes!
Oh, my God!
Are you OK?
(BOTH GIGGLE)
Look at this mess.
(GROWLS)
I hate you!
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
What's going on?
We're making you scones.
But we burnt them.
Probably time you went, Sue.
She burnt herself.
Martin will drive you home, Sue.
Some of them are good.
You should try them, Mrs Vickers.
Shall I get a plate or eat them off the floor?
Mum, don't be...
A what, Debbie?
MARTIN:
Come on, Sue.
(MOUTHS SILENTLY)
I tried to stop it, Mum.
I tried.
Traitor!
|
(ENGINE REVS, HORN TOOTS)
Hi, sweetheart!
Hi!
Hey, mate.
Jump in.
We'll take you the last bit.
Nah, I'm fine.
We went a little crazy.
We had the most lovely lunch at Tre Scalini.
And then...
The best bit is in the boot.
Yeah?
Sure you don't want a lift?
Nah.
How about a race?
Oh, he's not 12 anymore!
Ferris!
Alright.
Go!
(YVONNE LAUGHS)
(TYRES SQUEAL)
Oh!
Gary!
Gary.
Mmm.
Gary, check it out.
Best colour TV money can buy.
Oh, unreal!
Hey, come on.
Pour yourself a glass of red.
|
Thanks.
So, what do you think?
(LAUGHS) Now, that...
Now, that looks great!
(SINGS HIGH NOTE)
Yeah, you look great, Mum.
(SLAPS BUM) Oh!
(LAUGHS)
Your dad was so funny today, Gary.
I nearly broke in half laughing.
Oh, well, Ferris in form.
She actually suntans, Don.
Do you believe that?
Jesus.
Who knew Bert Newton's head was so orange?
(CAR DOOR CLOSES IN DISTANCE)
Gary?
'Fosphic' is not a word.
Yes, it is, you dummy.
You just haven't learnt it yet.
Did someone take $20 out of my purse?
Don't wanna be a dobber, but starts with 'D' and rhymes with 'avid'.
No!
I didn't.
I...
He was by his bookshelf after he took it.
No, Mum, I swear I didn't.
(CHUCKLES)
David.
Hand out.
|
Ow!
Ah!
(SIGHS) See, David?
We can do that to each other the rest of our time in this nightmare or we can be friends and help each other out.
You have to tell him about this, Rog.
Look at that pervert manhandling my daughter.
Rog!
I know, I just...
Look, every time I go to, I feel sick.
They're my friends.
Then don't do it.
We'll stay.
Do what we do and we'll live happily ever after.
(LAUGHS) What do you say, huh?
(PHONE RINGS)
Doggy style?
Straccy reckons it's pretty great.
Alright.
(SLIDING DOOR OPENS)
Sue, Debbie's on the phone.
Back in a sec.
Danny?
G'day.
You are being a gentleman, right?
A gentleman?
A gentleman.
(SNICKERS)
Is that funny?
A bit. (SNICKERS)
You ever seen a coconut split open?
|
Apparently it's a lot like a human head.
I'll smash ya.
Yeah.
Hey.
You got it?
DEBBIE: (MOANS) I'm a prisoner.
My whole life is passing me by and I haven't even seen Gary.
(GROANS) She's such a bitch!
She's so unhappy she has to make everyone else unhappy.
(MUTTERS) You might wanna talk quieter.
Bugger.
SUE:
I'll come round?
She'll just throw you out again.
Ask her to come and stay if you want.
Mum says you can come stay the night.
I won't be allowed.
They're going out but leaving me here with the little freak.
I'll ask.
Mum...
Can I go to Sue's for the night?
We'll be inside the whole time.
Pam will be there.
I promise not even to have fun.
Please, please, please?
Pam said it's fine.
It sounds OK to...
No.
You're gonna be staying here with David.
Mum!
|
Away.
(SIGHS)
I can't come because my mum is a cow.
I'm so sick of this.
(GROANS)
What did you just call me?
I'm sorry, Mum, but don't you see the state that I'm in?
I know I did the wrong thing.
I know, but I promised I wouldn't do it again.
I can't trust you, and I can't tell you how upsetting that is to me.
I made a mistake!
I'm a kid!
There are some mistakes in life that you can't come back from.
And you don't seem able to judge that.
I saw Darren with his neck broken.
I understand.
I knew it!
Were his eyes rolling around...
David, shut up!
You can hate me, but I have to do what I think is right for you.
I DO hate you.
And I'll hate you forever.
Then I guess I'm doing my job.
(SIGHS)
(SLAMS DOOR)
Hello?
You're not talking?
(WHIMPERS)
Can't even trick you into it by asking you questions?
(SOBS) No!
|
Got you!
(DEBBIE SIGHS)
Please go.
Tell me what you saw.
The boy who died.
(SNIFFLES)
His neck was broken and his eyes were open.
And he was just... ..staring...
..like he was surprised.
Come here.
(SOBS)
You can't stop me from growing up.
(WHISPERS) I can try.
(WHISPERS) I can try.
(ORGAN PLAYS)
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
We're going out, and you're not gonna dob.
Just give me a second.
What are you...
What are you doing?
You ready?
Can I take a Polaroid?
No!
10 seconds.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
So don't dob.
Nuh, I won't.
I can't believe that I flashed your brother!
Neither can I, especially since
I've already done him a deal to let me escape.
|
No!
Yes!
(GASPS) The little shit!
(BOTH GROAN)
Why are we running?
I don't know.
I'm free!
Hey.
Danny's got his dad's car.
What time are your parents getting home?
Not till 8:00.
Yes!
Let's do it.
Let's do it!
Let's do it!
(BOTH GIGGLE)
CHERYL:
Ugh, I thought they were coming in.
It's been ages.
Swell's better, I guess.
The food's getting cold.
I'm starving.
What are you doing?
Well, they're not coming in.
I'm gonna eat it while it's hot.
They're coming in.
Oh, shit!
Does anyone have an extra pie?
Nuh.
Sorry.
|
Saw you in that foamer.
It was great.
Yeah, wasn't it?
Oi, where's me pie?
I'll go get you one.
Where is it?
She ate it.
(SIGHS) You dumb moll!
Sorry.
I'll run. 10 minutes.
You're dropped.
Well, go.
Get it!
(LAUGHTER)
What a stupid moll.
Look at her run.
(SHOUTS) And hurry up!
I'm fucking hungry!
Can't believe that I actually feel sorry for Vicki.
Yeah, I know.
What a deadshit Matty is.
I know.
He kicked her.
Well, she did eat his pie, mate.
(LAUGHS)
Do you think that they'd kick us if we ate their pies?
No way.
What if we ate their Polly Waffles, too?
And snotted in their chocolate Mooves?
Maybe then.
|
(BOTH LAUGH) Eww!
DANNY:
What's so funny?
We should go to Kurnell.
I've missed you.
Me, too.
Hence all the visits.
Thought you were gonna come and sit under my window.
Sorry.
I've been a bit...busy.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I just...
I don't really get it sometimes.
Everyone ends up like our parents, you know?
See this photo of Dad with his toothpick board and smiling,
Mum's dancing with him.
I don't recognise them as the same people.
But it happens to everyone.
Except Darren Peters, I guess.
We're gonna be different, Gary.
We're gonna be amazing.
Really?
(SHOUTS) Amazing!
(YELLS) Amazing!
(LAUGHS) Amazing!
(SIGHS)
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO)
Was that it?
(CLEARS THROAT) What?
|
You just stick it in, wave it around a few minutes, don't even look at me, and it's over?
Shut up.
Do you think it's ever fun for me?
Don't give me any of that femmo shit.
It's just rooting.
It's just rooting.
Sue...
Piss off, Danny.
Sue!
Don't be a bitch.
(DEBBIE AND GARY LAUGH)
What's going on?
Nothing.
Sue?
(CAR ENGINE STARTS)
GARY:
Oh, no way!
SUE:
Arsehole!
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Is Debbie in?
No.
Hi, Cheryl.
Hey, David.
Home alone, huh?
What's your dad drink?
Um, mostly brandy and dry.
(LAUGHS) Brandy makes you randy.
VICKI:
Shit, it's huge.
|
VICKI:
Shit, it's huge.
My folks are gonna be home in an hour.
I'm dead.
(LAUGHS) Wait here.
What are you doing?
Shh.
So?
What did you guys fight about?
I don't know.
I'm just...
I'm so sick of being rooted and grunted at every time I ask a question and just being so incredibly bored.
(HORSE SNICKERS) (LAUGHS)
It's not funny.
Jump on, partners!
Gary!
It's a...it's a horse!
It's good to see you again.
You, too, sprog.
You want some?
It's heaps easier to do shots with vodka than...
So, do you have a girlfriend, young David?
Do you want one of these two?
Do you want some advice on women?
Yes.
I do.
Come here.
(GIRLS LAUGH)
Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen.
But...why would you be mean if you like them?
|
Trust me, it works.
(COUGHS) (KEY TURNS IN DOOR)
(MUTTERS) Oh, shit.
Heya.
Here's the party.
Where the fuck have you been?
You have to go.
Oh, relax.
Seriously.
Her parents will be home soon.
She's already stuck in her room all the time.
Can we take some drinks?
Yep, sure, just...
You know.
Um, D-Deb...
Mum and Dad!
MARTIN:
Why is there a horse on our lawn?
Shit.
Come on!
(GIRLS LAUGH)
At least wait till I stop.
CHERYL:
Hey, Mrs Vickers!
Sue!
You wait right there.
What is going on?
Hurry up!
Get in.
JUDY:
|
Come inside.
(VICKI LAUGHS) Cheers, fuckers!
I know you don't mind Sue roaming the streets with drunk men on horseback, but she needs to leave Debbie out of her misadventures.
Sue, what happened?
Nothing.
Smell her.
What?
Smell her.
Nick off!
Sue!
Charming.
Alcohol and cigarettes and probably marijuana, as well.
She is not to contact Debbie anymore.
OK, Judy, I can understand you're upset, but we can talk calmly about this.
You talk calmly about it.
I don't do that.
I do something about it.
Sue is off the rails and she is not taking Debbie with her.
(FERRIS GROANS)
(GRUNTS)
(SIGHS)
(WHISPERS) That was lovely.
I'm just getting some water.
(SIGHS)
MAN ON TV: 2,300.
..unmanned 'Voyager' spacecraft carry a record... (FERRIS SIGHS)
..just in case they encounter a cosmic neighbour along the way.
(GRUNTS)
I love this TV.
Me, too.
|
Night, mate.
Yeah.
Night, Dad.
You gotta be fearless, OK?
OK, Dad.
OK, Dad.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Interrupting Cow.
Interrupting...
(MOOS)
DEBBIE:
I need $3 for Miss Deirdre.
I'm sick of you rolling your eyes at me.
What?
At my joke.
Well, it was a dumb joke.
Yeah, I know that.
You used to like it, find it endearing that I told dumb jokes.
Well, you know what I want?
I want you to smile at me when I come home.
Just look at me, even, would be nice.
I want you to not act like your life is some interminable trial that you'll only be released from by death.
I want you to remember you chose me.
You chose me.
You better go.
See if your dad's still taking you.
Go on.
(INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF 'LOVIN' YOU' PLAYS)
You let us down last night.
|
You know that, right?
I know.
You're gated for a month.
Dad!
One month.
I'll be out the front at 3:00 on the dot.
I have to leave.
You can't live with them anymore, Deb.
They're crushing your soul.
I know!
My mum is such a cow now.
(SIGHS)
So if I catch a train from Central to Byron,
Gary can surf professionally and we'll travel the world.
And I'll come with Danny on the holidays!
Yes, and we'll all live together and busk to make money.
You can sing some of our songs when you busk.
With you.
When you come.
You will come?
Yeah!
Kenoath!
Let's go find Gary.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
It's him!
Gary!
Gary!
Gary!
Can't believe he's still out there.
|
They're such dickheads, these guys.
Gary!
Can't he hear me?
Deb, we gotta go.
Yeah, I know.

David Coleman.
How bad do you want it?
Whether "it" be a 4.0 GPA, a million bucks..
Or just getting laid.
[ Laughter ]
Ambition drives us all..
What William James called
"the worship of the bitch Goddess success".
Now, Freud would have us believe that all drives stem from the libido.
Sorry, Sigmund.
Success is neurologically determined by one's ability to stay focused on a task, and persistence is a function of an active Limbic System.
Take, for instance, gridiron guy here.
Clearly, his Limbic System isn't firing on all cylinders.
Either that, or his ambition to win The Heisman supersedes his desire..
To pass this class!
- Sorry.
- Morning, sunshine.
Speaking of passing this class, please pass your Midterm papers to Mr. Lewicki here.
His ambition is to read them all..
Tonight.
[ Sighs ]
I don't think any of them even remembered to spell-check.
Persistence, Lewicki.
|
Once in a while, a student surprises you.
Actually, Brian Cahill did.
I don't know who that is.
"Gridiron guy"?
Ah.
Sleeping beauty.
Maybe your lecture wasn't interesting enough to keep him awake, but his paper's actually pretty good.
Too good.
His paper is obviously plagiarized.
There's no way that kid wrote this.
I'm not so sure.
Cahill's been getting pretty good grades.
Clearly from teachers who turn a blind eye to the shortcomings of a "student-athlete".
There's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.
Well, I'm not dazzled by his athletic prowess.
We have an honor system here.
He should be out.
You're getting ahead of yourself, Daniel.
Now, first of all, there's no proof that he cheated.
And let me guess..
Second of all, he's a football star.
I'm not gonna deny having an all-American is good for recruiting.
Not to mention the bottom line.
Look, have you any idea how much we earn in broadcast fees alone?
It's not like my department sees any of that.
No, but you don't have to explain to the board of trustees why you expelled a star linebacker and screwed up a shot at a bowl berth.
- Dean Haley.
- Great.
Great.
So, w..
|
We jettison our academic standards for filthy lucre.
What's next, automatic GPA inflation every time some yahoo scores a touchdown?
Hang on.
I'm gonna have to deal with this later, something's come up.
What's more important than a campus cheating scandal?
A campus murder.
Kate:
Dinner was amazing.
I got the recipe from an ancient Berber woman in Marrakech.
Of course, to be truly authentic, I should have made it with pigeon, but the butcher at Whole Foods was appalled when I asked for it, so we had to settle for chicken.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, it was absolutely delicious.
Thank you.
I pull my own Warka.
The dough.
Of course.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Aah.
Excuse me.
Hello?
I'll be right over.
I have to go.
I'm s..
It's Daniel.
Of course it is.
You look lovely.
I'm sorry if we ruined a special evening.
Oh, no.
Not at all.
The multi-talented Professor Hathaway?
|
I understand you two might be quite an item.
W..
Why don't you tell me, uh, more about the murder?
[ Clears throat ]
Well, campus security discovered a body in Brooks Hall.
A Junior, Christina Lake.
Okay.
Do they have a cause of death?
A broken neck.
Ooh.
That's awful.
But I'm..
I'm sorry.
I'm just, I'm still a little confused as to why I'm here.
I mean, Chicago P.D. will catch this case.
Well, they did.
But I wanted to send a message to the parents and alumni that we're doing everything we can to keep the campus safe.
So I made a request that the FBI investigate.
Well, not to beat a dead cliché, but this is not exactly a federal case.
I mean, it's not terrorism or a school shooting.
So I'll talk to the investigating officer, but he might not like me butting in.
Also, my boss might have an issue with it, but, um..
[ Cellphone rings ]
Excuse me.
Wow.
Speak of the devil.
Moretti.
Yes.
I'm on it.
You called Reardon?
|
I just..
Wanted to remind her the..
How many cases I've helped the Bureau close.
And it would be a shame if I got so busy that I couldn't keep..
Helping.
I don't know whether to be shocked or impressed.
Daniel:
We should start at Brooks Hall, talk to Christina's friends.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is not your case.
There's no "we".
There's no Neurological or behavioral angle here.
What?
Sorry.
One of my students hasn't been showing up to class.
I assumed he was sick, but clearly he's well enough for a night out.
Well, why don't you go deal with him?
That is your job.
After all, you're a Professor, not a cop.
Nice try, Agent Moretti.
This murder happened in my backyard.
You're not kicking me to the curb.
Shall we?
Annie:
My room is right beneath Christina's, so I can hear everything that goes on upstairs.
Hmm.
Did you hear anything tonight?
She was cranking her tunes at full volume.
I had been cramming for my MCATs for three days, and it was nonstop.
Was Christina having problems with anyone?
|
No way.
She had tons of friends.
I mean, you know the type..
All the girls want to be her, all the guys want to be with her.
Was Christina dating anyone?
She just broke up with Billy Mitchell.
I have no idea why.
He's so freaking hot.
So, whose idea was the breakup?
Well, Christina dumped him..
And Billy was not happy.
They'd been arguing about it all week.
You could hear the yelling all over the dorm.
Were they fighting tonight?
All I could hear was the music.
But I..
I did pass Billy in the hall.
Does Billy live in the dorm?
No, in Farnsworth, but I just saw him at the vigil on the quad.
That's Billy.
Billy Mitchell?
FBI.
[ Grunts ]
Billy Mitchell, you're under arrest.
Look, you're crazy if you believe that I'd hurt Christina.
She's been my girlfriend since freshman year in high school.
Yeah, well, from what I've heard, there was trouble in paradise.
What were you kids fighting about?
I told her I was gonna transfer to M.I.T.
Because they have a better chemistry program.
|
She freaked out.
She begged me not to leave Chicago.
So two weeks after I promised I'd stay, she dumps me.
Why?
Because that piece of euro trash messed with her head.
Which piece of euro trash are we talking about here?
This guy Karl.
Some Prussian Prince or something.
Thinks, like, a title makes him better than the rest of us.
This guy is a jerk.
Goes through women like Kleenex in flu season.
Guy stole your girl.
That's got to be rough.
No, no.
This guy's bad news.
I Googled him, found out all sorts of dirt.
That's why I went to see Christina, to tell her not to get mixed up with the guy.
And then when she didn't listen, you got angry.
Yes, but..
But I didn't kill her.
She was alive when I left.
Anybody see you go?
Yeah.
Karl.
Told me to leave Christina alone.
I heard him yelling at her when I left.
You know, maybe that creep killed her.
Yeah, my money's still on you.
I didn't do this.
Then why'd you run?
|
Because I had a joint in my pocket.
I was afraid you were gonna bust me, so I flushed it.
You should be talking to Karl.
Kate: "Prince Karl of Hesse-Brandenberg".
"Third son of a minor German noble family".
So no power left, just titles and castles.
According to "Lifestyles of the rich and infamous"..
Karl is quite the problem child.
Looks like he's been expelled from two boarding schools in England..
Accused of slapping a model in a discotheque in Monte Carlo..
Accused of the rape of a hotel maid in Ibiza, but no charges were ever filed.
I'll bet a very fat check goes a long way to convincing a victim not to prosecute.
The Agent I sent to Karl's condo called in.
Doorman says he left last night for the airport.
I'll call TSA, have them check airline manifests.
You think the playboy of the Western World flies commercial?
He's got a private plane.
Well, he must have filed a flight plan.
To St. Louis.
It never got there.
Reach out to Homeland, State, Interpol.
Maybe somebody knows where this plane really went.
Hmm.
Hey.
Smart guy.
We need to talk.
Yeah, I'm..
Kind of busy.
That's okay.
I've got to get some sleep.
|
I'll catch up with you later.
What the hell are you doing?
- Excuse me?
- You don't come to class, you don't hand in your paper, it's 7:00 A.M., you..
Have you been up partying all night?
Since when is my social life your business?
You're one of the brightest students at this university, and I can't remember the last time I saw you at one of my lectures.
You're blowing your chances at med school.
Who says I want to go to med school?
You're changing your major?
Man..
It's not all about majors and cramming for midterms.
I've got a band, a girlfriend..
And you'll have plenty of time for all of that once you flunk out.
- Look, I'm working on the paper.
- Work faster.
I'm giving you till the end of the day tomorrow to turn in that paper, or I'm failing you.
Now get your ass to class.
Daniel:
Mister Lewicki here tells me that you've been falling asleep in section all week.
- Are we boring you?
- No, Sir.
There's no need to deny it.
I'm sure a student of your perspicacity must be unchallenged by intro to neuropsych.
Y..
Your Midterm paper displays a brilliant grasp of the subject.
I'd love to hear more about your alternative view of the mind-body link.
You remember..
Page 12?
You didn't write this, did you?
|
No, Sir.
I bought it.
Who from?
Rumor is he's a grad student, but I don't know the dude's name.
Then how'd you get the paper?
A guy on the team gave me an e-mail address.
I sent the assignment and 200 bucks through PayPal.
And a couple days later, the essay showed up in my e-mail.
I..
I'm sorry.
I've..
I've never cheated before.
Oh, come on.
I've seen your grades.
You've been getting a free pass around here.
But not this time, not from me.
I swear, I used to be a good student.
I just..
[ Sighs ]
I can't concentrate any more.
How long have you been feeling like that?
I don't know.
Pretty much all semester.
Look me straight in the eye.
You see this?
See the disparity in pupil size?
It's Anischoria.
What is that?
What are you talking about?
Have you been having trouble breathing?
|
A little.
Headaches?
Yeah.
How did..
How'd you know?
How long have you been playing football?
I mean, I started pee-wee at 8, full contact when I was 9.
Have you been hit harder than usual lately?
I mean, I ended up at the bottom of a dog pile a couple months ago, and my helmet flew off.
I mean, back of my head got stomped pretty hard.
Well, as I suspected, you have a subdural hematoma.
A brain bleed.
Am I gonna miss the game on Saturday?
Yeah.
And every one after that.
I'm out for the season?
You're not getting it.
You can't play football ever again.
If I don't play, I'll lose my scholarship.
It's either that, or risk permanent brain damage.
Your choice.
I found Karl..
In Cabo San Lucas.
And they say there's no such thing as inter-agency cooperation.
I'm glad State came through.
They didn't.
Then who located him?
Homeland?
Interpol?
TMZ.
|
I need you to sign off on a travel voucher so I can go down and pick him up.
We're on an austerity budget.
Let the Mexican police pick him up.
Listen, the Federales aren't exactly known for their..
Integrity.
The money gets into the right hands,
Karl's off to a country where we can't extradite him.
So, where to, chicas?
The beach..
Or the pool?
Adult swim's over, Karl.
Pardon me, ladies.
He's coming with me.
[ Cell door opens ]
You'll never get away with treating me like this!
If I get a slap on the wrist, it's worth it, because I know that you murdered Christina.
I didn't kill her!
Oh, yeah?
Tell me all about it.
I'm not a moron.
I'm not saying anything else without my lawyer.
Then I guess my job here is done.
Oh.
Look at that.
Right in time for the 4:00 flight.
Hmm.
Okay.
Enjoy your stay.
But, you know, I could take you with me.
If you just sign this little waiver of extradition, we could be on our way to the airport.

You could call your lawyer from the plane.
[ Knock on door ]
D.J.:
Dr. Pierce.
I finished the essay with a couple hours to spare.
I'm surprised you put so much time into it.
Hey, it's done, so save the lecture.
Stay.
I'll read it now.
Is this a joke?
Hey, I busted my ass on that paper.
This isn't your work.
Yesterday you told me that I was one of the smartest students here, so you know I don't need to cheat.
I wrote this.
25 years ago, to be exact, when I was an undergrad.
Did you think I wouldn't recognize my own words, or are you just trying to be cute?
I'm telling you I wrote it.
You've just destroyed your academic future.
Fine.
You think I want to sit in a dusty, old office all day, like you?
No freaking way.
Your life is sad and pathetic..
Old man.
Who the hell do you think you are?
Oh, I'm..
I'm sorry.
Did..
Did you forget my name?
It's D.J.
Short for Daniel J. Pierce.
|
I'm you.
Before you cracked up and forgot how to have a life.
Max:
Hey, Doc, we're late.
Are you okay?
How could I not recognize myself?
I didn't make the connection until he told me his name.
You don't remember any of your students' names.
It's always "gridiron guy," "goth girl".
Why do you do that?
Oh, come on, Daniel.
It's psych 101.
It's a defense mechanism.
You keep your students at arm's length because you don't want to remember what it was like to be their age.
That's bullshit.
Is it?
What were you like at 19?
Insufferably cocky.
I thought I was smarter than most of my teachers, didn't care much about my education because it all came so easily.
And what did you want to do with your life?
Travel the world.
Climb Kilimanjaro.
Tour with my band.
You wanted to go to med school.
No.
That was just a fallback, in case I didn't make the cover Rolling Stone by the time I was 25.
Yet for all that ambition and such an active Limbic System, none of that ever happened.
Yeah.
A little thing called paranoid schizophrenia kind of got in the way.
So you got diagnosed, and your dreams died.
|
No wonder you didn't recognize D.J.
You wanted to forget everything that you'd lost when you got sick.
Gee, thank you for making me feel like a complete failure.
- You're missing the point.
- Please, skewer me with it.
Look at what you've accomplished in spite of your diagnosis.
Top of your class in med school, you've written seven books, won the Davenport Prize.
Compared to where you could have ended up, you've truly climbed Kilimanjaro.
So I repressed my tragic past rather than confront my shortcomings.
How very freudian of me.
Tell me, frau doktor, in your hallucinatory opinion, why am I being haunted by the ghost of Christmas past now?
Because your unresolved issues are keeping you from dealing with your students.
- I deal with my students every day.
- You lecture them.
But emotionally, you're totally disengaged.
- I'm a Professor, not a wet nurse.
- Now, what about Brian Cahill?
He had his future taken away because of a brain injury.
You of all people should be able to relate to that.
But, no, you just made the diagnosis and walked away.
Hey, I saved that kid's life.
But was the life you saved the one he wanted?
Brian:
You asked to see me?
I just..
Wanted to apologize.
What for?
I was a little perfunctory about your diagnosis.
I..
I should have done more to help you acclimate to your condition.
|
Have you spoken to your parents?
I..
I could call them.
Ah, no.
It's okay.
I told Dean Haley that your injury was sustained on the field, so your scholarship won't be revoked.
You don't have to play to stay in school.
Um, here's a referral to a therapist who specializes in Neurological issues.
Talking helps.
And don't worry about the paper you bought.
We'll, uh..
We'll let that slide.
Thanks, Dr. Pierce.
I really appreciate it.
Max:
Hey, Doc.
- Oh.
Hey, Brian.
- Hey.
- Oh, right.
- Sorry to interrupt, but, um, Kate called.
She's back from Mexico.
Karl did not kill Christina.
Witnesses place him in her dorm room right before her death.
She was alive when I took off.
Yeah, but you were arguing.
I wanted her to come with me to a party in Mexico, but she thought a Midterm in sociology was more important.
So I left.
Yeah, and you took some of her DNA with you.
We searched your apartment, and we found smears of Christina's blood all over your floor.
|
You must have tracked it in on your shoes.
Give us a moment, would you?
Attagirl.
Thank you.
Last week, Christina was over at my place, and she had a nosebleed.
Why?
Because you backhanded her?
I don't like your attitude, Agent Moretti.
My client has nothing more to say.
That's fine.
I've got enough to hold him.
Yeah, just one small problem, though.
[ Chuckles ]
Karl has an alibi.
I just got a text from my investigator.
He's bringing a witness down now who can prove Karl had nothing to do with this.
I was heading back from the library, and I ran into Karl outside the dorm.
- So you two know each other.
- [ Chuckles ]
Well, he's kind of hard to miss.
He..
He drives a Ferrari.
Okay.
Did you talk to him?
He looked upset, so I asked him if he was okay, and..
He said he just had this big fight with his girlfriend.
Did he say anything else?
No.
He just got in his car and drove off.
So now you know he didn't do it, right?
|
No.
I'm sorry, Shannon.
Your story does not prove that Karl's innocent.
I mean, for all we know, he could have looked upset because he had just murdered Christina.
No way.
She was still alive.
How do you know that?
I saw her yelling out the window at him as he drove off.
I saw her, so Karl couldn't have killed her.
I just don't buy it.
Shannon pops up out of nowhere with an alibi that Karl forgot to mention in Mexico?
So, what's your theory?
The first time the lawyer mentioned a witness was right after he got a text, so I think he had his investigator go out and find somebody who was willing to lie for money.
I mean, it's the Hesse-brandenburg M.O.
Spread a little cash around, make the charges go away.
Break the alibi, Agent Moretti, or your boy's gonna walk.
[ Sighs ]
Okay.
If you've got one of your brilliant Daniel Pierce ideas, I'm all ears.
Search her room.
My guess..
You're gonna find an envelope full of cash.
But I..
I don't have grounds for a warrant.
I mean, without one, I can't so much as open her door.
[ Knock on door ]
Dr. Pierce!
- How can I help you?
- Oh, sorry.
I thought this was Shannon Duquesne's room.
|
I'm her roommate.
Ah.
Well, um.. [ Clears throat ]
I lent Shannon a book.
I didn't know she was in your class.
She isn't, but, uh, she expressed interest in taking it next term, and I suggested she do some reading first, but I need the book for a lecture.
Oh, well, that's Shannon's desk over there.
I'd offer to help, but I'm late for study group.
- Midterm tomorrow.
- I think I can manage.
- All right.
- [ Chuckles ] Won't be a minute.
This is nuts.
You're kidding me.
Kate:
You're obsessed with Karl.
[ Chuckles ]
I don't know what you're talking about.
"My Prince Charming"?
Your scrapbook?
That..
That is private.
You had no right..
You lost the right to privacy when you decided to lie to the FBI.
Now tell us the truth about what happened the night of the murder.
[ Sighs ]
Shannon, you're absolutely right.
I had no business looking at your private things.
But it did make me realize how deeply you care about Karl.
You've obviously felt that way for a long time.
|
Do you remember h..
How it started?
Well, when I was 12, I saw a picture of him playing polo in people magazine.
He was..
All in white, on this gorgeous horse, and..
I just..
I knew he was my destiny.
So you came here to go to school, to be near him.
Well, I was never gonna meet Karl back home in Pittsburgh, so..
I signed up for the same classes, and I gave him my notes a couple of times.
He didn't really notice me.
Um, so I..
I went to this party..
And he was there, and finally..
It happened.
You mean you slept with him.
It was the best night of my life.
But then..
Then he started dating Christina Lake.
I tried to tell him how much I love him, but he said he only slept with me because he was drunk.
I begged him to give me a chance.
I told him that I would do anything for him.
And then when Karl got arrested, he remembered what you'd said and told his lawyer.
The investigator said that Karl was in trouble.
That it would really help him if I remembered seeing him drive away.
Do you know how much trouble you're in for lying to the FBI?
It's worth it.
Now Karl will realize how much I love him.
Kate:
Karl's back on the hook for the murder.
|
He's not the only one.
- You think Shannon could have done it?
- You heard her.
She idolizes Karl.
And he only has eyes for Christina.
So you think Shannon could have killed Christina to get her out of the way.
Mm-hmm.
From no suspects to a twofer.
- You just made my day.
- Good.
[ Cellphone ringing ] And because they conspired to lie about Karl's alibi,
I've got enough to hold both of them while I figure out who the killer is.
Moretti.
Wait.
Wait.
Hey.
Hold on.
It's Max.
Yeah.
Lewicki?
What?
Okay.
Bad news?
One of my students got injured playing football.
Try moving your toes.
You're lucky.
After the craniotomy, the paralysis disappeared.
What the hell were you thinking?
I told you I fixed your scholarship.
You didn't have to play.
|
- You don't understand.
- Why would you take a risk like this?
Since I was a little kid, football's been my life.
If I wasn't playing, I was training.
I never wanted to do..
Anything else.
So what the hell am I..
If I'm not a football player?
Kate:
You told Shannon to lie.
Karl:
I haven't told anybody anything.
Yeah, but you talked to your attorney.
And everything we discussed is privileged.
Not if it constitutes a crime.
And manipulating an obviously disturbed young woman into lying to Federal Agents certainly qualifies..
It's obstruction of justice and witness tampering.
We've answered all of your questions, some of them twice.
So either charge my client, or let him go.
[ Door opens ]
You're free to leave.
Nice knowing you.
Not my call.
U.S. Attorney's office declined to file charges.
- I don't believe this.
- I don't like it any more than you do.
But State's getting pressure from the German Ambassador.
They're afraid it might lead to a diplomatic incident.
- Daniel:
What happens to Shannon?
|
- I had to let her go, too.
She lied to a Federal Agent.
That's a crime.
Yeah, but the A.U.S.A. doesn't want to prosecute a lovesick girl for protecting a boy who may very well be innocent himself.
Karl's not innocent.
He's just rich enough to afford immunity.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- What?
Michael:..
The U.N. summit on Africa last month, and I'll tell you what I told him..
That without a paradigm shift, we will never end the famines, no matter how many T-shirts we sell.
Why are you hiding from Professor wonderful?
He's such a nice guy.
And he's funny..
And he's..
Smart, and he cooks.
I mean, he's perfect, but I just..
I keep pushing him away, and I don't know why.
D.J.:
I do.
Because she's into you.
I mean, I just don't know, really,
- how to handle it, you know?
- Listen, tell her to dump him.
- I care, obviously, but I just don't..
- Then you can make your move.
Daniel.
Look at me, how long are you gonna let this go on for?
I can't seem to make up my mind is what I'm trying to say.
- I'm sorry I'm rambling.
|
- She clearly wants you.
She doesn't want Hathaway.
Stop!
- Sorry.
- No.
- Oh, so sorry.
I wasn't trying to..
- I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.
You didn't.
I..
I..
I just meant you should.
You should stop talking to me..
And you should tell Hathaway how you..
How you feel.
I..
I got to go.
Doc, there you are.
I was looking for you.
Why?
What are you so chipper about?
Well, I got to wondering about the whole paper-selling business.
Cahill said it was a grad student, so I took a little initiative.
Oh, you're playing Junior Detective now?
I e-mailed the paper writer, and I told him I needed a paper analyzing Viznevsky's Neurological Anatomy of Psychopathology.
That's a terrible idea.
Nobody would ever do a paper on Viznevsky.
His thinking is totally outdated.
I'm surprised the book's even in print.
It's not.
|
It's not even online.
That's the genius of it.
You knew he'd have to go to the library to get it.
- Lewicki, you sly dog.
- He walked right into my little trap.
The dude's a PHD student in English Lit.
His name's Andre Lustig.
I've been working on my PHD for six years.
I'm $70,000 in debt.
I have no idea how I'm gonna pay that back.
My specialization is in Late Medieval poetry.
Give me a list of every student you wrote a paper for, and I'll allow you to withdraw from CLMU.
But no other school will take me.
I'll never finish my doctorate.
Your M.A. might allow you to get a job at a prep school.
Now, I want a list of those customers.
I don't remember their names.
I've had like 100 clients this semester.
How is that possible?
I churn out a couple papers a day.
D.J.:
Bullshit.
I was a great student before I turned into you, and even I couldn't write two papers a day.
The paper you wrote for Brian Cahill was good.
It's hard to believe you wrote that in a day.
I don't sleep very much.
What do you take, Andre?
Cocaine?
Speed?
Just a study aid.
|
Helps keeps me awake and my brain razor-sharp.
What kind of "study aid"?
It's just some pill some brainiac kid in the Chem Department makes.
Our Chem Department might not be as good as M.I.T.'s, but it turns out some high-end product.
All right.
Who's the dealer, Andre?
I don't know his name.
I do.
What's cooking, Billy?
Wouldn't be a batch of methamphetamine, would it?
- What's going on?
- You claimed that you ran from me to flush some marijuana.
And then I remembered, you're a chemistry major.
Yeah?
So?
What's that got to do with anything?
We all know about your little sideline.
Your magic pills are what went down the drain in that bathroom, am I right?
It's just a study aid.
The pills aren't even illegal.
Then why'd you run?
Trust me, Billy.
You don't want to screw with me twice.
Because I stole the pills.
From who?
Professor Emmett.
They're from an experiment she's been working on.
Alison:
The drug was a major breakthrough.
The rats could run the maze for 36 hours straight, and their problem-solving abilities skyrocketed.
|
Are you in FDA trials?
It wasn't for the open market.
My funding came from the Defense Department.
They wanted a pill that would keep a soldier awake and alert in combat..
Without a negative impact on cognitive ability.
Our government trying to create chemically enhanced super-soldiers.
Why am I not surprised?
- Daniel..
- Oh, it's historical fact.
Hitler revolutionized the production of crystal meth.
Japanese Kamikaze pilots popped Dexedrine so they could fly all the way to Pearl Harbor.
It's true.
Stimulants have always been a part of combat, but the problem is that sleep deprivation diminishes a soldier's ability to make good decisions.
But your rats didn't dumb down.
The Pentagon must be thrilled.
At first, they were over the moon.
But we had to terminate the study when we discovered the pill had some serious side effects.
Which were..
After two days, about 20% of the rats started to attack each other and self-mutilate.
That's one hell of a side effect.
And why we ended the study.
What happened to the pills?
They were destroyed by my lab assistant.
Billy Mitchell.
We're lucky the campus isn't a bloodbath.
Yeah, but why isn't it?
You said on some of the rats became violent?
We isolated the trigger..
The pill made the rats hypersensitive to loud noises.
Auditory stimulation made them snap.
|
The pill would never have worked on the battlefield.
Karl didn't kill Christina.
But I know who did.
Hi.
- Can I help you?
- Yeah.
We just have a few more questions to ask you, Annie.
Sure.
I mean, I'm kind of busy.
I have my biology Midterm tomorrow, and I still have six chapters to cover.
- That's a lot to cram in one night.
- Well, I have to get it done.
Med schools check Midterm grades, so I have to, you know.. [ Book thuds ]
Sorry.
[ Chuckles nervously ]
You're a little jumpy.
Guess I'm just over-caffeinated.
You're taking Billy Mitchell's study aid, aren't you?
He said the pills were legal.
I didn't do anything wrong.
But Billy did, and we need your help to nail him.
I needed an edge for the MCATs, and Billy said that the pills would help me study harder and better than ever.
- Mm-hmm.
- He was right.
I..
I studied for days and remembered everything I read.
Wow.
But did you find that loud noises became unpleasant, like Christina's music?
Mm-hmm.
It was driving me crazy.
|
I had..
I'd been cramming for three days.
And then she started blasting her tunes.
Pretty inconsiderate.
Thank you.
Did you ask her to turn it down?
I went up to her room to talk to her..
[ Loud music playing ]
[ Moaning ]
- Yeah?
- Could you please turn the music down?
- I'm trying to study.
- Whatever.
Ugh.
You must have been upset.
Okay.
All she cared about was partying.
It didn't bother her that she was messing with my life.
And she didn't turn it down, did she?
[ Chuckles ]
She turned it up.
[ Loud music continues ]
Not again.
Stop being such an uptight bitch..
.. And join the party.
Oh, that would have pissed me off.
- Mm.
- What did you do?
Went back to my room and I put in earplugs.
And they didn't work, I'm guessing.
|
[ Chuckles nervously ]
I feel for you, Annie.
I do.
There you are, working on the biggest test of your life, the one that's gonna determine your future.
And there's Christina, just screwing any chance you have of success.
- Yeah.
- Sounds to me like she was the bitch.
- Yeah!
- You were working so hard, the music's blaring, it's driving you nuts.
You can't let her wreck your life.
I mean, you did what you had to do.
Of course.
Of course you did.
[ Music continues ]
I told you to stop bugging me, bitch.
I went back up.
Karl was gone, and Christina was even nastier.
Screw you, Karl!
[ Tires screech ]
I hope you get AIDS banging hookers in Cabo!
Aah!
I took the window, and I slammed it on her neck.
She knew I had the MCATs, and she didn't even care.
What did you do then?
I turned off the music..
[ Music continues ]
[ Music stops ]
.. Went back to my room, and studied.
Without all that freaking noise, I could get a lot done.
Now I knew that I could totally ace the MCATs.
|
Hmm.
And I did.
Her lawyer is arguing that taking the drugs caused "diminished capacity".
Diminished capacity?
She nailed the MCATs, practically got a perfect score.
Okay, so the drugs helped her nail a test, but is it also what made her a stone-cold killer?
Maybe.
Or maybe she's just wired that way.
- Hmm.
- Michael:
Kate!
I don't think you're gonna be able to duck him.
It's okay.
I'm gonna take your advice.
I'm just gonna..
Gonna talk to him.
Good luck.
- Hi.
- I hear you solved the case.
I want to hear all about it over dinner tonight.
I found this amazing new Sushi bar.
They fly in their Uni straight from the Tsukiji market in Tokyo every day..
- It's amazing.
- Michael, um..
I don't think it's gonna work.
Not the Sushi.
I mean the whole..
Us.
Kate..
Maybe it's because I'm technically still married, or maybe because I'm kind of married to my job.
|
I don't know.
- Kate.
- I don't know what's wrong with me.
It's just, you're so nice, you're so smart, and you're handsome and funny.
- I..
- I get it.
You do?
Of course.
But you know what I think?
It's not the job..
Or the divorce.
It's, uh..
It's just that I'm not the guy for you.
Take care, Kate.
What's this?
University catalog.
Astronomy, music theory, modern art..
The world's your oyster.
I'm not sure I'm going back to school.
Listen..
Listen to me, Brian.
When I..
When I was your age, something happened to me..
Too.
I was..
I was locked in a hospital, and I thought my life was over.
All my dreams went out the window.
What did you do?
I found a new dream.
Came to say goodbye.
|
My hallucinations don't usually have such good manners.
I'm going away.
Time to travel, see the world.
First stop is Africa, to climb Kilimanjaro.
I'm sorry you didn't get to go, but..
You know, sometimes plan "B" turns out pretty good, too.
Our ambitions and our dreams..
Give us a glimpse of a beautiful someday.
And they can help us get through a sometimes less-than-beautiful today.
It's a tricky thing, though, ambition.
It can blind us to the price of success.
It can consume us..
Leading to dangerous obsessions..
Or empty hedonism.
But no matter how much we're fueled by this natural Neurological impulse.
Ambition isn't carved in stone.
Dreams change.
And even if we don't get to climb mountains..
There's still a chance that we can move them.
In the words of those old english poets..
You can't always get what you want.
But if you try sometime..
You might find you get what you need.
What are you doing, man?
What are you doing?
- Let's go!
- I'm gonna put my hands all over that pretty face of yours.
Mess you up!
That the best you got, Billy?
|
It's not so bad for a little guy, but come on!
(thump)
(groaning)
Stay down!
Get up!
Suck it up!
Who's little now, Spears?
- I just need a change.
- What kind of change?
I don't know.
Something.
Something's got to change.
- (Sighing):
Like what?
- I don't know!
You want me to repaint the bedroom walls,
- or what are we talking about?
- I could cut my hair.
Oh, yeah.
I'll hide your gun when you look at yourself in the mirror the next morning.
You don't think short hair is sexy?
You have a great neck, sweetheart.
I think you'd look terrific in short hair.
- I'm not going to cut my hair.
- You can cut your hair, Jess.
I didn't realize I needed your permission.
Is it our relationship that we're talking about or what?
- I didn't say that.
- Right, which is why
I'm wondering if that's what we're talking about, because you tend not to talk about anything that's important.
|
(honking) (screeching tires)
What?
What?
You're out of control!
Where do you think you're going, you inflated speed freak!
Son of a bitch!
Good for her!
- Hey!
You're hitting my car!
- Yeah, you're damn right!
How do you like it?
- Stop it!
- Here's another one!
- Jess, call a uniform, OK?
Don't...
- Hey, hey!
- How dare you throw rocks at my car?
- All right, police officer.
You freak!
Police officer!
OK, sweetheart, hold on.
Let's all calm down.
Arrest this crazy bitch!
I was trying to cross the street!
You were having a stupid freaking nap in the middle of the street.
(cell phone ringing) She threw rocks at my car!
- Ladies!
Chief?
- I want her arrested.
- I want charges!
|
- I have every right to defend myself, don't I?
One of you arrest this cow, or I'm going to send this video to the press and you're going to regret it!
Smile for the camera!
(jumbled shouting)
- Get your hands off!
- Calm down!
You too!
Stop!
- You're just protecting her because she's old!
- I'm buggering off!
- Come here, I got to keep you.
- Danny, I got to get in to see the chief.
- Oh!
- You guys saw that!
Assault!
I want my phone back.
We'll to have to arrest her.
You arrest her.
You guys are married, huh?
How about we do it together, OK?
How about that?
Would that be a change?
Here.
You're under arrest, OK.
Yeah, whatever.
- All right.
Come with me.
- And what about my car?
What about my car?
I don't care!
|
I'm going to sue your pensioner ass, bitch!
It's an ugly car anyway!
Special delivery.
I don't have any valuables!
And don't touch my rocks!
Do you know how hard it is to find good throwing rocks in this city?
Everything's like gravel and pebbles.
Margie, you need to take a breath.
Honey, I try to breathe every day.
Oh!
Do you like my coat?
I put special pockets in it for my stones.
Cool, huh?
Is that the chief?
Hey, chief!
Whoa!
Whoa!
I just want to tell you, these people did a hell of a job.
- Glad to hear it.
- Five more minutes and I would've been up for attempted murder.
- Appreciate the feedback.
- Yeah, no problem!
- Homicide's a mess.
- OK.
Gonna have to launch an internal review.
It's a mess.
You going to tell me why or is it top secret?
The Hoisington trial is being shut down.
- What?
What happened?
|
- Conroy's been accused of falsifying evidence.
Lawyers stretch things, they call it vigorous defence.
We do it, they call it...
Forgery.
Now every guy and his uncle is going to lawyer up, claiming his homicide officer lied under oath.
Do you need us to take the next homicide?
- Could help.
- Just call us when it comes in.
- It has come in.
- Oh!
OK.
- Murder suicide.
Who's the lady in Booking?
Danny and I were forced to make an arrest on the way in.
- Jessica King, crime fighter.
- Her name's Margie.
Interesting lady.
Crazy lady.
- Interesting, crazy lady.
- I know a few of those.
♪ Hey, yeah ♪
♪ Oh, whoa ♪
Moving a little slow over there.
You all right?
Fixing a pipe at home, twisted something, I guess.
Should leave that up to the guys with the green shirts.
You know, the ones with tools.
I have tools.
Just saying, any more plumbing, and we're going to have to get you handicap parking.
Suit up, Spears:
|
Got a couple of dead ones.
What, the rest of us aren't invited?
It's domestic, so should be quick.
Any of you guys mixed martial arts fans?
- I follow it a bit.
- Jared Cooper, ring any bells?
- Yeah, local guy, up-and-comer.
- Not any more.
Shot his wife, then himself.
Actually, Spears, you stay with Ingrid.
Martin, you're up.
Really?
Uh...
Great.
Just trying something different.
Change, it's as good as a rest.
Let's go!
Ah, nice!
We get to spend some quality time together.
- I hope you don't mind me saying boss: you and Spears, it strikes me as a pretty complicated relationship.
- Spears is still my number two.
- Oh, I know.
Yeah.
I just felt like changing things up.
Of course!
I have complete faith in Spears.
- That's pretty clear.
- I need him where I'm not.
That's where number two is supposed to be, right?
I mean, where number one isn't.
|
It's nice to work with fresh eyes.
You have fresh eyes.
What a nice thing to say.
Spears has dark and cloudy eyes.
Forget I said that.
I never said that.
Jared Cooper.
No one heard the gunshots?
The UNI says all the neighbours heard was loud music.
- So who called it in?
- Ted Bundy.
- "Ted Bundy"?
- Next-door neighbour's pug.
It wouldn't stop barking.
Dog's owner took the hint and called 911 after no one answered the door this morning.
And...
Where's Stacy Cooper?
Mixed martial arts meets... newlywed chic.
They look happy.
So, Jared pulls out the gun,
Stacy runs in through here, probably trying to make her way to the back door, through there.
Jared fires once, misses.
Uh... then...
Don't think about the kinetics,
Martin.
Who are they?
What was their relationship like?
Why did this happen?
She's not wearing a wedding ring.
Possible marriage problems.
|
Good.
And?
Stacy's pay stubs:
Two jobs.
Maybe they argued about money.
Stacy's been supporting Jared's fight career.
It's been killing her.
Everything's always about him.
When is she going to get a chance to work on herself?
Jared gets mad, defensive, promises to make a change.
Stacy: no, she's done.
It's over.
When the pleading's not working, then he threatens her.
Pulls out the gun...
Jared's a fighter.
Why wouldn't he just kick the crap out of her?
She pulled the gun out on him.
He took it from her, then shot her?
And being filled with remorse and realizing that he loves her, he walks back into the other room, is surrounded by the detritus of his life.
(She snaps her fingers.) Shoots himself in the head.
Beauty and the beast, the version you don't want to tell your kids.
Thank you.
Found Stacy's mother in Newfoundland.
Help me out, here, Spears:
What's the attraction of watching two people kicking and punching each other into a pulpy mess?
Give me one good reason why MMA shouldn't be banned.
Ban MMA?
Might as well ban hockey or football.
- That's ridiculous.
- It's a sport, Ingrid.
|
Not a crime.
A sport where the intent is to draw blood and break bones?
There's no intent to injury in hockey.
Are we watching the same games?
How do you think it's going in there?
A father's worst nightmare.
Were you and your son close, Mr. Cooper?
Mr. Cooper.
Close?
I don't know.
We weren't talkers, exactly.
(sigh)
Did Jared and Stacy have any marital issues that you know of?
Yeah, they had their problems.
Sure.
Jared was training and training's expensive.
He quit his job in the body shop to fight full time.
Stacy was trying to manage his career.
Worked two jobs.
Sounds like a pretty stressful situation.
- She surprised me.
- What do you mean?
I thought, you know, not much there, except a nice set of...
She straightened him out.
How so?
Jared grew up watching me fight.
He slept in a few dressing rooms.
He had his diapers changed by ring girls.
He was a pretty angry kid.
When was the last time you talked to your son?
|
(short pause) After his last fight.
Did he seem depressed at all?
Did he talk about harming himself in any way?
No.
I was trying to give him some advice.
He didn't care much for what I had to say.
I told him he was slow, his injuries were catching up with him.
I told him he was lazy.
He wasn't.
I don't know why I said that.
- Does he have any other family?
- No.
- Mother?
- Long gone.
You're going to do an investigation, right?
- That's why we're here.
- When you find who did it, let me have a crack at him before you lock him up.
- Mr. Cooper...
- Jared was a lot of things, but he didn't kill that girl or himself.
You may have to prepare yourself for the possibility that your son wasn't exactly who you thought he was.
Yeah.
We'll keep you posted of any developments in the case.
(cell phone ringing)
Martin, could you see Mr. Cooper out, please?
Of course.
(cell phone ringing) (sigh) Danny.
Hey!
So, Margie Reynolds has priors.
Murder?
Break and enter?
|
She smuggled fruit back from Florida, what?
Apparently, she's making a habit of throwing rocks at cars.
Been charged twice with mischief, once with vandalism for keying a car.
I only went back five years.
- Does she have a lawyer?
- She wants to represent herself.
- And you let her?
- We barely know this woman.
- Where is she?
- She's in holding.
Jess, don't make her your little project, OK?
I got to go.
OK.
Fair warning.
As my arresting officer, I intend to tear you apart on the stand.
- You can't represent yourself.
- Why not?
You have three convictions.
You're going to have to shoot your way out of the courtroom if you don't want to go to jail.
I'll get bail and the system will lose track of me...because I'm old.
Are you retired?
I play piano.
You know, recitals, dance classes, malls.
Don't like the malls much, but...
Is there anyone you can call?
I've had four husbands, but not one of them would want to pick me up.
You know, three, you can blame the man.
Four, you got to start thinking it's you.
Any kids?
Now, how many husbands have you had?
|
What number are you on?
- Three.
- Whoa!
Only got one more in you.
Best before date kind of creeps up, though.
You know, better make the change soon before you become invisible.
- Let me get you a lawyer.
- I don't want a lawyer!
Just drop the charges and give me a ride home!
Well, I can't...
(Her cell phone vibrates.)
An old lady should be able to cross the street without fearing for her life.
I have to...
OK.
Let me see what I can do.
Great, thanks!
I'll just wait here.
- What's going on in there?
- Personal project.
What's up?
Preliminary autopsy report.
No recreational drugs, but Jared was juiced.
- Steroids.
Side effect: rage.
Ah, for the days of a multivitamin and a good inight's sleep.
I don't remember the last time I had a root beer.
(sigh) I train at the same gym as Jared Cooper.
What?
I started training in MMA techniques a while back.
I needed to shake things up, so I started...
|
Fight crime with your bare hands?
What else did the report say?
Jared had two broken knuckles and a recently torn ligament in his shooting hand.
There is no way he could have pulled the trigger at that angle.
- Jared's father called it.
- It's a double murder.
The gym thing.
I can recuse myself from the case.
Did you know Jared Cooper?
- Saw him around a bit, but...
- What about Stacy?
- No.
- It's all good.
Jess.
No one there knows I'm a cop.
Well, that's about to change.
Don't worry, Spears:
Change, it's a good thing!
So if Stacy and Jared were murdered, first question: who was the primary target?
Stacy was shot in the back, trying to run away.
She had no priors, no known criminal connections.
Jared's bullet wound was a clear and deliberate killing path.
No struggling, no flinching.
- He didn't see it coming.
- Or he know it was coming and just accepted his fate.
Which means it was either an execution or a friend.
Or an execution by a friend.
- Jared was our primary target.
- And Stacy came home at the wrong time.
And the killer staged it to look like a murder suicide.
|
The MMA fight scene's littered with gangs: it could be connected.
Get Ident to take apart the gun, do a DNA swab in the parts and the bullet casings.
Maybe the shooter left something behind.
Uh, Stacy's most recent phone calls were to a Clover Harcourt.
Clover?
That's a nice name.
We called and sent unis over to her place, but she hasn't been home.
- OK.
Let's drill down on Jared Cooper: who were his friends, his enemies, both inside and outside the ring.
- Cage.
- Oh!
Cage.
Spears, check out Jared's gym.
You know where it is, right?
Martin, Ingrid:
Head back to the house, have another look around.
- What are you going to do?
- Floss.
After that, I have to deal with a... (Sighing):
A personal project.
I already gave you a statement.
I want your permission now as the prosecution to drop the charges.
- No way!
- She's a lonely, old woman.
...Who's a danger to society.
OK.
What if it were your mother?
I'd throw rocks right back at her.
It took me four years to save up and buy that car.
- I know.
|
- Now, there are chips in it.
In the paint.
I know.
- It's going to oxidize.
- What?
It's going to rust.
Those chips turn to rust.
You know, rust!
OK!
So that's why you want to throw an old woman in jail?
Rust?
She assaulted me.
OK, Carmen: you really want to go through a whole court care?
Because the law favours pedestrians over cars.
And juries love little old ladies.
Which is ageism:
Totally unfair!
OK.
What if I bring Miss Reynolds here and she apologizes?
Would that do it?
Whatever
- This part depresses me.
- What's that?
Opening fridges at crime scenes.
Forgotten food in the crisper, jar of milk, fresh vegetables that will never get cooked.
Busy girl:
Workout, jobs, meetings.
Pff!
Premix protein shakes, soy milk.
Now, what are you?
|
Broken.
Look at this curious thing.
What do you suppose that is?
It's a... an airbag.
Put your hand on the bicep, put the hand behind the head.
Then, basically, you just break the neck.
- Billy, you got a minute?
- You get laid off or something?
- No.
- Never seen you here in the middle of the day.
You're a narc?
Major crimes task force.
I need you to open up Jared Cooper's locker for me..
I'll get the clippers.
Why?
Why should I apologize?
Because you don't want to go to jail.
- Says who?
- Margie!
Would you apologize?
- Probably not.
- Didn't think so.
- Yeah, but I wouldn't get caught, either.
- Ha!
(short pause) Yeah, I hate prison.
OK, I'll say I'm sorry.
Good.
I'll get Danny to take you out there.
I'd love to ride around with him!
(snorting)
|
Uh, why are you doing this?
I'm just like, you know, some old lady.
Whose daughter was hit and killed by a car.
At a crosswalk.
I checked back in the system.
Why didn't you say something?
Talking doesn't help.
- Throwing rocks does?
- And music.
So you...
you have no kids?
(short pause) No.
But you have your work and a very handsome husband.
Still lonely sometimes though, huh?
Yeah.
Guys, clear out.
Here it is.
You're investigating Jared's murder.
Heard it all over the news.
- Did you ever spar with him?
- Yeah.
Kicked my ass.
When was the last time you saw him?
Last week.
Did he say or do anything unusual?
Talked to us about his last fight.
That's about it.
I thought you were here about those pills.
What pills?
(Spears clears his throat.)
|
You tell me you're a cop upfront before you join my club, cool.
You don't tell me,
I and everyone else will figure that you're undercover.
Not cool.
I'm just a guy trying to learn a few new moves.
Excuse me.
Yeah, well.
Watch your back next time you step into the cage.
Billy.
Mr. Cooper.
Sorry about... you know.
I heard the news.
Jared said...
He said he did some work for someone, like doing some things on the side.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's just...
Who was he working for?
Go home, Mr. Cooper.
Help me out here, man.
Who was it?
What's his name?
No...
Mr. Cooper!
Hey.
(shouting) What's your problem, huh?
Wanna mess with me?
Hey!
Hey!
Break it up!
What do you think you're doing, huh?
|
- Self-defence, man.
It was just self-defence.
He killed my son!
He killed my son!
Stay there.
I sat in that chair right there and told you he was murdered, but you didn't listen!
- Mr. Cooper!
- As soon as we got the autopsy results, we shifted the investigation.
Yeah, but I knew.
I knew.
Here.
Tell us about Aaron Dixon.
- Aaron Dixon?
That's his name?
- What happened at the gym?
Jared said he worked for... he did some work for some gang banger he met at the dog pound.
- What kind of work?
- Mr. Cooper.
Stacy was doing too much already.
Jared said he just wanted to make some dough fast to help out.
Dixon did it, you know that, right?
- What kind of work was your son doing for him?
- I don't know.
Whatever it was...
Stace made him quit.
Sarah said that Dixon was really pissed.
Aaron Dixon's been up on weapons charges twice, one conviction.
Calls his crew the North Side Boys.
They have a reputation for gun violence.
And we know his crew spends a lot of time at the dog pound.
|
Find anything in Jared's locker when you were there?
Nothing.
[Sultrily]:
Of all the gyms in the city, Spears, you join that one.
I train and I leave, that's it.
And you ignore the gangsters and the drugs.
When I run into some kid on a call, and I'll be ready.
It's a new world out there.
- So those 8 minutes in the ring...
- Cage.
- Whatever.
That's your fountain of youth?
You should try a spa.
- Hey, boss.
- How'd it go at the house?
- We kyboshed.
We came up with nothing new.
But we got some air bags.
Jared and Stacy own the car, but all the air bags are still in place.
So, what?
Jared was selling black market air bags for Dixon?
- You can get $1,500 a pop for some models.
- Call Robbery and see if they know anything that can help us out.
Where are we at with finding Stacy's friend, Clover?
Nothing yet.
Look harder.
She disappeared after the murders, that might say something.
Somebody just tried to kill me, and you're acting like I'm guilty?
I didn't have to come here.
I appreciate it very much.
|
It's all right.
The old man?
He's pretty messed up.
Seemed to connect pretty good.
Yeah, Jared said his pops had fast hands back in the day.
- So you knew Jared Cooper?
- Yeah, man.
Everyone at the gym knew Jared.
He was a fierce man.
His father seems to think that Jared was working for you.
Nah.
Jared was all about the ring.
Didn't have time to work for me.
So why would his father say something like that?
You'll have to ask him.
- Could someone confirm your whereabouts last night?
- Yeah, I got my crew.
We were at my place, watching the fights.
- Did you know Stacy Cooper, Jared's wife?
- Yeah, man.
She was cool.
She used to be a ring girl, right?
Jared lucked out with that one.
Sad about her, too.
Do you recognize these?
Nah.
Is that some kind of parachute or what?
Hey, you got an extra pole and a hat?
- What?
- If you're just fishing, I need my own fishing rod and cap.
|
You know, keep the sun out my eyes.
Can I go?
How'd it go with Margie today?
(He laughs.)
Fine.
She, uh...
She seemed genuinely sorry that she chipped the paint on the car.
So...
Hey, uh...
What's the word in Homicide?
Not good.
Graci's pretty peeved.
Hm.
You think he'll be cleaning house or...?
- Do you wanna make a move?
- I just...
If a spot opens up, I mean, why not?
It would be pretty difficult if we had a kid, both of us working 24/7.
Right.
Well, I didn't...
See, I didn't know that was still possibly a plan, Jess.
- I've been thinking about adoption.
- What?
- Wait, wait.
There's Graci.
- No, can...
When any individual intentionally misleads the court, it does tremendous damage to our justice system.
Perjury...
- Why is this so difficult to talk about?
- I don't know.
|
Well, maybe that's what needs to change.
Maybe we'll be okay without kids, wandering the streets alone...
You are not alone.
And Margie is only alone because she's crazy.
I like her coat.
Those deep pockets?
You could stash 3 pairs of shoes and a change of clothes in those things.
(He laughs.)
Hey, uh...
How long have you been thinking about adoption?
- Stash box.
- What?
The air bags.
Jared was building stash boxes.
What?
Where's my mug?
That's the work he was doing with Dixon.
He was removing air bags, installing dummy gas tanks, customizing the cars so that...
So Dixon and his boys could smuggle...
Drugs, guns, whatever.
If Jared built all of Dixon's stash boxes, then he would know all of Dixon's hiding places.
And if he just up and left, then Dixon wouldn't necessarily love the idea that he was walking out with company secrets.
Dixon had Jared killed and made it look like a suicide.
- How are we gonna prove that?
- We start by looking in all of Dixon's hiding places.
♪
So, how's about we bring Aaron Dixon back in?
We found these pills all tucked away safe and sound in your 4x...
- I don't know who put those there, but...
- You put them there, Aaron.
|
In the stash boxes that Jared Cooper built.
It's just 'roids, man.
You might as well arrest me for drinking beer on a sidewalk.
We checked your crew's cars too, found more HGH and a gun.
Caron, the guy with the gun?
You can't stop that guy from talking.
- Nothing to do with me.
- Not true.
Got you for importation of a controlled substance... 1 to 5 years for a first of fence.
Given your record,
I can do a lot more.
You're one of those overachieving types, I guess.
The higher the heel, the happier I am.
So Jared, what?
He tried to blackmail you or he just wanted out?
Making up another one of your stories?
I think you killed Jared.
And Stacy, she just came home at the wrong time.
- Uh-uh.
I didn't commit no murders, lady.
- Lately?
Lady.
I said lady.
It's all gonna start to unravel, Aaron, you know that.
First your crew rolls you on the steroids, then they finger you on the murders of Stacy and Jared Cooper?
It's just a matter of time.
If I give you a hot tip, like a really smoking hot piece of social media information, maybe you and I could do a deal.
- I don't deal with murderers.
- That's the thing.
I didn't do these things that you accuse me of... but I might know someone who knows someone who did.
|
- I'm gonna need more than that.
- What's my deal?
Plead to the drug charge, I recommend 2 years less a day.
Nope.
Conditional discharge probation.
I get to throw you back in for hard time if you lie to me or misbehave.
Misbehave?
Mmm!
You going all hot schoolteacher on me now?
You got 10 seconds.
You're looking for Clover, right?
- Stacy's friend?
- I know where you can find her.
- And how would that help me?
- 'Cause she asked me to protect her.
Protect her from who?
Somebody trying to kill her.
- How's your plumbing problem?
- What?
Twisted something?
All good, no leaks?
Was it your back, your shoulder?
- Who is it?
- Aaron Dixon sent us.
Clover?
You need to come with us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stacy and me, we... we met when we were both ring girls.
This one day at an event, they tell us they want us to wear just body paint, nothing else.
|
That was that.
I decided to train myself, took up women's boxing.
But Stacy and me, we stayed friends.
How would you describe
Jared and Stacy's relationship?
Uh, good.
I guess.
You guess?
They were...
Stacy had to manage more than Jared's career, you know, he...
He was pretty up and down.
Aaron Dixon told us that you needed protection.
I guess, yeah.
From who?
Clover, two people have been murdered.
You need to tell me what's going on.
Jared was nice.
I mean scary, right, in the cage, but... sweet.
You and Jared were sleeping together?
Yeah.
- When was the last time you saw him?
- A few days ago.
And Stacy was your best friend?
Yeah.
Clover, do you know who killed Jared and Stacy?
Little Billy.
He found out about me and Jared.
He got pretty pissed off.
He said he was gonna lay some hurt down on him.
He was gonna kill him.
|
Are you afraid he's gonna hurt you?
He said he was gonna kill me.
William Ridge, otherwise known as Little Billy,
MMA trainer at the dog pound.
You know him?
- We sparred a few times.
He's got a pretty long sheet:
Sale of cocaine, ss a bad temper.
There's an old restraining order: he assaulted a pregnant girlfriend 3 years ago.
- And you got to hit him.
- If I knew about this, I would've hit him harder.
Where's Clover now?
Protective custody.
You think Little Billy could've done it?
- Yeah.
You?
- With a name like Little Billy, he's gotta be guilty of something.
So how did he do it?
Were Little Billy and Jared even friends?
They sparred once in a while.
Not sure if they ever hung out.
- Billy would've had to have gone over to Jared's house.
- Steroids.
- What about them?
- Little Billy deals them out of the club for Dixon.
- Jared was juiced.
- Little Billy made a home delivery.
- That would get him inside.
- And Jerry wouldn't see it coming.
OK, let's go with that.
|
Spears, get back over to the dog pound to see...
Hang on.
Danny.
Yeah?
We didn't find any steroids at Jared's house.
She what?
I know, but I...
Jared built stash boxes for everyone else;
Maybe Jared built a stash box for himself.
I'm on my way down.
No, yeah.
I think I know who it is.
You guys head back over to the house and see if you can find where Jared stashed his little green pills.
Spears, we got trace DNA on the unused bullets and the gun.
See if you can convince Billy to give us a sample.
I gotta... head downstairs and deal with an interesting crazy lady.
You threw rocks at another car.
No, another car almost ran me over.
Cause and effect.
- I went to bat for you.
- I didn't ask you to.
- So you do want to go to jail.
- No.
Then why?
You need to stop, Margie.
Maybe I wanted to get to know you better.
- You have my card, you could have called.
- I was just kidding.
- Let me get a lawyer for you.
- I got smarts, I got money for my own bail.
|
What about you?
What?
You got a way to bail yourself out?
- I'm not...
- Maybe you should.
Wow, I'm really confused.
What are we talking about here?
- Do you really wanna know?
- Yes, please.
- You.
You need to breathe.
Should we step into my office?
(electronic signal)
Thanks.
- Every fighter needs his bag of frozen peas, right?
- Mm-hmm?
Ice cubes to make your shakes.
Freezer's broken.
OK, so those are steroids.
But how do we know Little Billy delivered them the night of the murder?
Dixon said there was a brand new shipment.
Billy must've delivered them that night.
Billy!
Detective sergeant Spears.
I need to ask you a few more questions.
- You wanna talk, step in the cage.
- Let's go, get out.
What you gonna do, shoot me?
You're a person of interest in a murder case.
Let's go.
|
You step up, and I answer every question and talk as long as you want.
You don't, I lawyer up and you never get the answers you're looking for.
You want something from me, huh?
Come and get it.
There are easier ways to get a suspect's DNA, but... they're not as much fun.
(rap music)
Should we let him shower before we bring him in?
(panting)
Yeah, really appreciate you cooperating with us to help us nail down the guy who killed Jared and Stacy Cooper.
So you know who it was, huh?
- How well do you know Aaron Dixon?
- I see him at the club.
- Yeah, we think Dixon did the murders.
- Nothing surprises me.
Dixon, he's trying to box you in for the murders.
Yeah, I know.
He sent us to, uh...
Clover Harcourt?
And she said that you and her had a thing...
Clover?
Never nothing serious.
We're both... free agents.
Hmm.
I just gotta tie up a few loose ends here.
(She clears her throat.) So we got this sworn statement from Clover and she says you made death threats?
I say some things in the moment, you know how you do.
Uh...
Clover also said that you made death threats to Jared Cooper?
Yeah, well...
So you did.
|
And we know that you gave Jared Cooper steroids acquired from Dixon.
We know that.
Your man Spears tell you that?
I mean, he would know.
I sold him some, too.
And you dropped the steroids off to Jared the night he and Stacy were killed.
My job is hard.
Murderers getting smarter all the time, no witnesses, doing a really clean job of cleaning the murder weapon...
It's almost like we got nothing to go on.
But... you'd be surprised how many smart murderers forget to wear gloves when they load their guns.
And DNA on bullets, that's a lot to go on.
I'm thinking we're gonna find your DNA on those bullets, Billy.
And we've got your DNA on Detective sergeant Spears, in your blood from the fight.
I'd say today's a pretty good day.
You think I need this?
Seriously, do you think
I need this?
Sir, I really...
King, did you know that Spears had a relationship with this Little Billy?
- It wasn't relevant, sir.
- It is now.
You've charged him with murder.
Spears, I'm going to ask you once, did you buy steroids or any controlled or illegal substance from that man?
- No.
- And you'll testify under oath to that fact?
- Yes, sir.
- And that testimony will be truthful?
- Chief, you've asked him more than once.
- Yes, sir.
Billy is lying, sir.
|
- And your case is solid?
- Planned and deliberate.
First degree times two.
Then you bury him, I need some good press.
Get the hell out of here.
- Jess...
- You better not.
(Ding!
)
That was such a case...
What are you going to do?
Good night, girls, see you next week.
(girls giggling)
Ah, there she is.
Hi.
This is very unprofessional.
I'm just a piano player, Your Honour.
You should put your hair up.
I should cut it all off.
No, you shouldn't!
I haven't done this since... well... maybe ten.
Well, sometimes you need to go back to go forward.
(steps approaching) Ah, David, this is Jessica King.
The Detective.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Yeah, don't get your hopes up, he just got married.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
And he and Fraser are gonna be very happy as soon as Fraser gets off his fat arse and gets a job.
|
Okay, Margie, we should...
- Yes, okay, fine.
- Would you like to begin?
Yeah.
Um, you tell anyone who I am and what I do, I'll shoot you.
Okay?
Seriously.
♪
(police siren)
you might even laugh from it.
You will say that something so strange is impossible.
But this is certainly my mother's story. was a wolf-man.
My mother was a student in a national university on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Her scholarship covered her school fees.
And for her living expenses she had a part-time job at the same time. but also on miscellaneous subjects. they had no knowledge about Areté.
my mom saw my father for the first time. taking notes without a textbook on nothing but a notebook.
She thought he was very different from the other students.
Please wait.
This is the attendance ticket.
If you don't sign and turn it in you won't be marked present.
So...
I'm...
Not a student here.
What?
I won't be coming again.
Who's that?
Please wait. but at that lecture you didn't have a textbook so I thought it would be a bit hard to study.
Why don't we share mine?
Welcome.
|
It will be done by Friday.
Thank you for your patronage.
Sorry for the wait.
Welcome.
Let's be careful with this.
this way.
Where should I place this?
here.
Come in.
come. and the sophist Lycon.
but Anytus was the one behind the prosecution.
What do you do for fun?
What kind of food do you like?
What kind of person do you love?
Why are you called "Hana"?
My name?
Yeah.
When I was born the cosmos flowers in the backyard were blooming.
they were blooming naturally.
When my father saw them he immediately thought:
that won't fade away. then we'll be able to overcome almost anything.
I was smiling the whole time.
My relatives were all thinking "What an indiscretion".
That made me really angry.
But...
Maybe that was an indiscretion after all... it wasn't.
I'm glad.
but each one is different inside. and homes with only elders.
It would be nice to have a home.
Saying "I'm home" when you arrive. and sit yourself comfortably on a chair.
|
That would be great.
I would build a shelf.
Fill it with books and then build another shelf. your own home.
And I'll say "Welcome home" when you arrive.
Hana...
What?
There's something I must tell you...
Speak your mind.
The truth is...
Let's do this again tomorrow.
Okay.
Hana...
Hana.
I messed up.
It's something I never told anyone before. because you might leave me.
I should have told you sooner.
I should have shown you.
Shown me?
Could you close your eyes for a moment?
A bit longer.
Can I open them?
Hana...
What do I look like? and attacking people was known as just a legend.
The world is full of things unknown to me.
that's probably what my mother thought.
Did I shock you?
Should we stop meeting?
But you're trembling.
Are you scared?
I'm not.
|
Because it's you. that went extinct about a hundred years ago.
The last being that inherited a blood mix of humans and wolves.
the history of their family's destruction.
and died after. faced many troubles and grew up into an adult.
He got a driver's license and moved to the city to look for a job.
and had no one to look back on.
Until that point he had taken care to live in secret and in hiding.
That's what my father said.
Gentle to Heart and Body Natural Birth
Mom gave birth to me in that small apartment.
It was a snowy day. only by themselves... the doctors would be shocked.
I'm glad she was born safely.
But things are just starting now.
Will she grow to be a gentle child?
She will probably be a very smart kid.
I wonder what kind of adult she'll be.
I want her to work on whatever she likes. to become a happy and healthy child.
We'll watch over her until she grows up.
Yeah.
My little brother was born in the spring of the following year.
It was a rainy day.
my father had disappeared.
I don't know... what my father was thinking that day.
It was probably the instinct of hunting food for the baby at work.
something nutritious to eat.
[TN:
That's a driving license]
I leave the children in your care.
My mother heard it like he said that.
Leave it to me.
|
I'll raise them well.
After that I don't remember my mother ever thinking about anything serious.
Rice!
Yuki.
Rice!
Just a bit more.
Rice!
Yuki!
She said that whenever I got angry and grumbled my fur would grow out and I would turn into a wolf.
I guess it can't be helped.
Have a biscuit before lunch. crying out and searching for food from morning until night.
I was very different from my brother who ate little and was weak.
My mother took a suspension from college to raise us.
She also had to quit her part time job.
That was close.
The small savings my father left us were enough to sustain our living.
That was close.
she was wondering whether to have us live as humans or wolves.
She was at a loss over it.
Oh my. so she had to study everything by herself in books.
she had to breastfeed for two whole hours.
Whenever her breast didn't produce milk she used skim milk instead.
Living with Wolves she stayed up all night holding him and caressing his back.
Because of that my mother would always be dozing off once in a while.
It's alright. even if she just closed her eyes for a short moment.
Mommy.
What?
The problem was when we got sick.
Yuki?
Yuki?
|
Yuki!
She was conflicted between going to the pediatrics or the vets...
My child ended up eating drying agent by mistake.
She is two years old.
she vomited.
There was no blood in it.
It has "Silica Gel" written on it.
But...
Are there any complications?
Huh?
Her appetite?
I'm hungry.
I see...
It's alright...
My mother regrets never asking how my father was raised when he was a kid.
Walk.
that's...
Walk!
You've been in bad health the past few days.
So we...
WALK!
I get it.
Gee... hide your ears.
let's go for a walk.
But watch your ears!
They are showing again!
Okay!
Good afternoon.
How cute.
he called you cute.
|
S- sorry.
No...
But that wasn't the only problem.
What time do you think it is?
Stop with the noise!
I'm so sorry.
for crying out loud!
I'm truly sorry for this.
Teach them some discipline!
there.
It's alright.
It's written in the lease that pets are prohibited in the apartment.
We don't have any.
Don't lie.
We'll find out about it. you're more than welcome to go someplace else you prefer.
From the child consultation center?
the neighbors are worried the children are in peril.
What do you mean?
Our research shows your children never had a medical checkup did they?
It's alright.
They are healthy.
we would at least like to take a look at them.
that's...
It's just for a second.
It is just to confirm what you are saying is true.
T- that's not possible.
we'll have no choice but to suspect you of ill-treatment and neglect.
Please go away!
Slooow!
Hey.
|
mom?
What do you want from now on?
or wolves? to someplace you can choose whatever you want.
We'll start with the vacant houses by the town hall. but they don't stay long.
there isn't much around here. it's a two and a half hour one-way bus and train ride.
A round trip is five hours!
Even if you say you want to raise your kids in a good environment...
I'd say the city is a much more convenient place.
It's huge... the price for repairs would be insane.
Since it's an abandoned house... it's okay to keep your shoes on.
This place is practically dilapidated.
But at least the electricity still works.
And the stream water hasn't dried up.
And the things from the shed are also okay to use.
right?
this place is not suited for self-sufficiency.
Animals come down from the mountain and damage the fields.
they'd just eat them all.
The houses in this area became empty because the humans around here were driven out by them.
So the neighborhood?
Neighborhood?
No one ever comes down so you won't see them.
Would you like to see someplace else?
Around the village would be more practical...
I'll take it.
What?
I'm taking this house.
Why?
Where are we?
Our new house.
|
It's slanting!
ants!
What is this?
!
Step!
Step!
Help!
So?
Do you guys like it?
I like it!
Let's go back.
She wanted someplace where there was nobody living around.
She was a bit eccentric.
And her husband?
Who knows.
Any income?
Who knows.
So how does she plan on providing for her and her children?
Gramps Nirasaki!
Please be gentle on them this time!
3... 2... look!
Come down.
Come down.
Here.
come.
Here.
Age 4
Age 5
Thank you very much.
Come again.
|
Good evening.
Good evening.
come here.
Is that the woman from the rumors?
From now on I'll have to start saving as much as possible.
S-a-v-i-n-g?
That means we will have to do things like planting our own vegetables.
too!
okay?
Okay.
I'll take these.
Sure.
Those too.
Yuki!
Yuki and Ame being wolf children is our little secret.
Yeah. everyone would be shocked.
That's why they could never turn into wolves in front of other people.
Right?
It's our promise.
Got it.
One more thing. don't be arrogant with them.
Why?
Because that would make you father sad.
Right?
You get it?
We get it!
We won't forgive you!" said the very angry villagers as they chased the wolf with their guns.
I'm sorry!
I won't do it anymore" cried the boasting wolf while running away.
Why?
|
Why indeed?
Hey!
Excuse me.
Huh?
May I take the fallen leaves from the woods?
What?
The fallen leaves.
You don't have to ask anybody to take those.
Thank you very much.
How long will she keep it up?
She has been quite the talk around the convenience store and the karaoke place.
I don't doubt it.
This time for sure.
Mom...
Ame!
What happened?
A tortoiseshell cat.
it had its eyes on him since he's weak.
Those are just scratches.
They are nothing
You won't survive with those!
Yuki.
Will you comfort me?
You will be alright.
You sure will.
not even for a boar!
You saw a boar?
I did!
I also saw a monkey and a wild goat.
But I wasn't scared at all!
|
It was fun when I started chasing them and they ran away!
Also-
Yuki.
when I peed... you can't be self-important around other animals.
But...
Please.
Okaaay.
Thank you.
Can you comfort me again?
it's fine.
But surely...
How does a wolf child become an adult?
Yuki!
Wait.
Pick me up.
Already?
You're slow.
Hurry up!
Wolves start hunting only four months after they are born.
First they start with small game like rats.
they team up with adult wolves and...
TEAM!
No way...
I didn't want to anyway.
Don't go too far away.
Sure.
let's go back?
Ame.
Do you think we can eat this plant?
Hm...
|
Got it!
Caught it!
look Ame.
It's alright.
It will be fine.
look!
It's a great cormorant.
There's a stream on the other side and...
Mom...
Why are wolves always the bad guys?
Is it because... of that picture book?
Everyone hates him and he gets killed at the end.
That's why I...
I hate being a wolf.
I see.
But...
Your mother loves wolves. even if just by herself.
Moom.
Mooom.
What happened?
They are withering again.
A disease?
In all of them?
No way...
Mom.
What's going to happen to us now?
It's no use.
Your mother still has to study much more.
Will you help me again?
I will.
|
Thank you.
Get inside.
Sure.
Good evening. but with all the commotion... right?
Even though I did everything in the books it just ends up failing.
isn't it?
Full of nature.
What's so natural?
will it?
it's always the same.
Isn't that what you were thinking?
T- that's...
Don't smile.
Why are you smiling?
Smiling won't do anything about it.
That man is scary.
No.
I don't know how to do this and I'm hopeless.
Even though you're an adult?
I regret not asking your father about more various things.
This is bad.
So bad.
Good afternoon.
Um....
Here.
This is to you.
What is it?
Seed potato.
And you plant these in the fields?
You can use it to do many more things.
|
but don't worry.
That's just his personality.
that was my fault.
Good afternoon!
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
Here.
Old man Nirasaki.
Thank you for the seed potatoes.
Do you plan to let them go to waste?
Start over from the earth.
You can't dig like that.
I'm sorry.
Er...
What about fertilizers?
Did you bury the dry leaves there?
Yes.
Then you don't need it.
work the soil up here too.
It doesn't need to go that far.
It's just for me and my two children to eat.
Didn't you hear me?
I did.
Create the rows.
Yes.
Leave more space between them.
Yes.
make them higher.
Yes.
plant the cut part facing down.
|
just leave them.
Um...
Thanks for teaching me so much... are you okay?
Good afternoon.
Come here.
Huh?
just come here.
Hm?
come on.
you.
Yes?
Those are chamomile and cabbage.
it will make a taste bugs don't like.
don't!
Celery is much better with cabbage.
Not it isn't.
For beginners this is better.
no.
Is chamomile even gonna fill anyone's stomach?
not deep.
You're wrong.
You first need to soak the hole with water.
no.
you need to plant first.
wrong.
You can sprinkle the fertilizer this way.
If you add too much the insects will flock here.
No.
Give me that.
Be more daring with it.
|
Wrong.
You need to add just a bit.
You will definitely go wrong if you follow his advice.
That's your advice!
What?
Vinegar wood polish?
It's made from charcoal-roasted smoke.
Then then treated poultry manure is added to it.
Thanks for everything.
thank you.
Sorry for intruding so inadvertently and surprising you.
no.
It must have been hard to work a land so raw.
so I had to study everyday. but they always gave up and went back soon after.
Were there others as young as me?
they were old men who had retired.
It's funny how mental and weak they were. this is no land that makes living off it easy.
The drainage is bad.
There's a ton of snow.
We have to help each other.
We thought you weren't one to socialize with your neighbors.
There aren't many young mothers around here.
So it's really reassuring to have one more of us here.
Ask anything you want.
then...
What?
You live off your savings?
!
but they will soon run out.
It's hard to find a job.
|
Everyone leaves their children at the nursery school and goes far away to work.
What kind of place is a "nursery school"?
Why don't Yuki and Ame go there?
That's because...
Yuki wants to go to the nursery school!
No way.
I will go!
No way!
I will!
I will!
I will!
I will!
I will!
I will!
I will!
I will...
I'LL GO!
I want to!
I want to!
I want to!
I want to!
hurry up and eat your food.
I know it's about our secret.
But I'll be careful.
But you see...
I'll be careful.
Y
- Yuki... do you own a dog?
err...
Well...
