Transcript

00:00:00I was sitting in on a lecture Auden gave at Harvard about Don Quixote,

00:00:05in which he admitted he never managed to read the novel through to the end,

00:00:09and he doubted whether anyone in the audience could finish the damn thing either.

00:00:14You're through, Austin. I think so. Thank you, Jim.

00:00:17Afterwards, I hung around and invited Auden for tea or sherry or opium, something,

00:00:24and he accepted.

00:00:25And did he seduce you, you old catamite?

00:00:27No, he fell asleep.

00:00:30You know, this poached salmon was a bit off today. How was your veal?

00:13:48You're following me.

00:13:49I could call the police.

00:13:51This is harassment.

00:13:53It's against the law.

00:13:54Believe me, what I do is not against the law.

00:13:56And yes, I was following you.

00:13:57I want to ask you a few questions.

00:13:59I already told you I have nothing to say.

00:14:00I think you've got a lot to tell me.

00:14:02But I'd settle for a few minutes.

00:14:04Look, I don't want to follow you.

00:14:05I'm really terrible at it.

00:14:08I spotted you right away.

00:14:09See?

00:14:10I'd rather talk to you directly.

00:14:15No, I can't.

00:14:18Why do you have to know?

00:14:19It's not me.

00:14:20It's them.

00:14:22Who's them?

00:14:23Everybody buying a paper.

00:14:24It's news.

00:14:25Somebody, and it happens to be your brother,

00:14:27and I'm very sorry that it's him,

00:14:28but he killed somebody.

00:14:29They want to know why.

00:14:30And what about you?

00:14:31Me?

00:14:32It's just a job.

00:14:32It's my business.

00:14:33But if you talk to me,

00:14:34these crowds will go away.

00:14:36See, they just want things put in perspective.

00:14:38Once the mystery is solved,

00:14:40the story's over.

00:14:42I don't have answers.

00:14:45I don't.

00:14:45Let me be the judge of that.

00:14:49Here, you can call me.

00:14:50My name's David Leder.

00:14:51Here's my office number.

00:14:53Please, give me a call, Miss Burgess.

00:14:55Give me nothing better than a crap on the 6 o'clock news.

00:15:08I'm working on it.

00:15:09Close the door.

00:15:10I'm intrigued by this story.

00:15:24I'm willing to play it out to the end.

00:15:27If you don't have something by the end of the day,

00:15:29make it up.

00:15:31Nothing major, nothing outright false,

00:15:33but factual speculation.

00:15:36Factual speculation?

00:15:38You got me where I am today.

00:15:42Well, I got an angle.

00:15:44I'm all ears.

00:15:45It's about justice.

00:15:47Yeah.

00:15:48It's a concept, an abstraction.

00:15:50It can't be defined.

00:15:51Yet we all seek it.

00:15:54A wrong must be righted.

00:15:58Now, vengeance,

00:15:59we don't think of as one of the highest of human emotions.

00:16:03But, if you ask me,

00:16:05vengeance is at the heart of justice.

00:16:08Now, it's not enough to just catch a bad guy

00:16:10and send him or her away.

00:16:11It's never enough.

00:16:12It's got to be finished.

00:16:13It's just killing someone.

00:16:16That finishes it, in a way.

00:16:30Fantasized about killing is normal.

00:16:33We all do it.

00:16:43Have you seen this movie?

00:17:00Yes.

00:17:01No.

00:17:03I don't remember.

00:17:05I should have rented something else.

00:17:06Do you think she's beautiful?

00:17:09I think she's very beautiful.

00:17:11She's flawed.

00:17:12She has a funny little black spot on her lip.

00:17:16Someone should tell her.

00:17:19Why don't you tell her next time you see her?

00:17:21You could find that spot on her lip.

00:17:23I know she could.

00:17:24I know.

00:17:25I know.

00:17:26I know.

00:17:27I know.

00:17:28I know.

00:17:29I know.

00:17:31I know.

00:17:32I know.

00:17:33I know.

00:17:34I know.

00:17:35You drive me wild

00:17:58You make me

00:18:05I knew Elliot through Emma

00:18:22Emma and I

00:18:23It's been a few weeks since we've gotten together

00:18:26We talk on the phone

00:18:28We know each other from school

00:18:29And then we weekend together at the Hamptons

00:18:31And Elliot?

00:18:32Elliot was a very

00:18:34With the wrong person

00:18:36Did you ever talk to him?

00:18:38Always with Emma

00:18:39He was very protective of Emma

00:18:40He would have terrible fights with her father

00:18:42Over Emma?

00:18:47Emma could be

00:18:48I should not be telling you this

00:18:50No, no, no, please, go ahead

00:18:52We used to think Emma was a tease

00:18:58You know, she had that reputation

00:19:00She would, I think she's over this period now

00:19:02Because, but she would lead men on

00:19:05She wouldn't get very serious with any one man

00:19:07And she, so she had this reputation

00:19:10You must think

00:19:14We used to be very close

00:19:19I wouldn't want you to think badly of her

00:19:22No, no

00:19:23Now, do you have that picture?

00:19:27Yeah

00:19:28There it is

00:19:31Like they were a couple

00:19:36Can I have this?

00:19:41Thanks, Annie

00:19:41So, how's it coming?

00:19:55Fine

00:19:55Yeah, you know what you could do for me?

00:19:57What?

00:19:58You know Austin Blair's book is latest

00:20:00You read it?

00:20:01Not yet

00:20:01Maybe you could read it for me

00:20:03You know, skim it

00:20:04Tell me what it's about

00:20:05What, you want like a book report kind of thing?

00:20:07Yeah, I know you want

00:20:08Try five

00:20:09Personally, I can't stomach the guy's stuff

00:20:11So, what do you say?

00:20:13I don't know

00:20:13Thanks, I appreciate it

00:20:15Hello

00:20:20Hi, David, how are you?

00:20:21Hey, Kathy

00:20:22You know, I was just thinking about you

00:20:25He's so hot

00:20:36Prize winner

00:20:37Doesn't have time to read a book

00:20:39He thinks he's such a hot shot

00:20:40Don Johnson

00:20:41You ever notice, like, the source for him

00:20:43Is always a woman?

00:20:44Yeah, he uses it

00:20:45The ways you only dream of

00:20:47Hey, this true?

00:20:50Does it sound true?

00:20:52Sure

00:20:52It's true

00:20:54I gotta admit, though

00:20:57I'm gonna miss Austin Blair

00:20:58Really?

00:21:01You ever see him on the talk show?

00:21:02No, he was quick

00:21:03Boy, he could rip these guys apart

00:21:05It's always good for a laugh

00:21:08At someone else's expense

00:21:09This scene runs the continuous narrative sequence

00:21:39In which there's an intermingling

00:21:41Of gods, demigods, and mortals

00:21:44We now pass from the reading of the ritual and the sacrifice

00:21:48To a complex Dionysiac group

00:21:52Which occupies the center panel

00:21:55In it, the god is

00:21:58Reclining upon the lap of his consort Ariadne

00:22:03Would you all excuse me for a minute?

00:22:12What are you doing here?

00:22:13I'm fascinated by Roman frescoes

00:22:15Really, I come to this section of the museum once a week

00:22:17This is intolerable

00:22:18Lunch, that's all I ask

00:22:19Let me buy you lunch

00:22:21I find it refreshing that you work in the museum once a week

00:22:26Your father get you the job?

00:22:28My mother, actually

00:22:29She's on the board

00:22:32Seems the family's on the board of just about everything

00:22:34I imagine

00:22:38You have access to our tax returns and phone records

00:22:42Yeah

00:22:42Maybe even go looking through our garbage at night

00:22:45No, no, no

00:22:45I draw the line of garbage

00:22:47I personally don't believe this all can be explained by just the facts

00:22:51Maybe none of us want it explained

00:22:53Maybe we would rather just

00:22:56Of course you would

00:22:57But here we are in a cafeteria

00:22:59I'm trying to be pleasant

00:23:00That won't change anything

00:23:02I'd like to know

00:23:03Why Austin Blair?

00:23:05I mean, he's a novelist, for God's sake

00:23:07Nobody shoots a writer

00:23:08I can't imagine anything he'd scribble out would compel someone to shoot him

00:23:11Or your brother take his own life

00:23:13Elliot read everything

00:23:16Novels, history, philosophy

00:23:19He had a brilliant mind, Mr. Leader

00:23:24He was brilliant

00:23:27And disturbed

00:23:29Look, I'm still trying to understand

00:23:32I think we should talk again, Miss Burgess

00:23:35I don't think that's a good idea

00:23:38I do

00:23:39Otherwise, who knows what I'll write about your family

00:23:41I have to go

00:23:49I have to go

00:24:19I read this in the paper

00:24:21What they're saying about Elliot

00:24:24About

00:24:26That we did nothing to stop him

00:24:29As if we could

00:24:32As if we were responsible

00:24:35I don't wish to discuss this further

00:24:37Do not give them the satisfaction, dear

00:24:40Okay, so I looked at Blair's book last night

00:24:54Uh-huh

00:24:55Okay, so it was slick but entertaining

00:24:57Lifestyles of the decadent rich and famous, you know

00:24:59And?

00:24:59This woman, Muriel

00:25:00She's this dev from this rich family

00:25:02Family's very old money

00:25:03Very conservative

00:25:04And she's the black sheep

00:25:06She's always sleeping around

00:25:07And getting smashed

00:25:08And getting in the newspapers

00:25:09And embarrassing the family

00:25:10Got it

00:25:11But in reality, she just wants to be loved

00:25:13She's even sleeping with her brother, I think

00:25:15Oh, and I figured out who some of the other characters are supposed to be

00:25:17One of them is Jackie, I think

00:25:18It was trashy, but I liked it

00:25:20Somebody left this for you

00:25:21Who?

00:25:24Who?

00:25:25Who?

00:25:26This woman

00:25:27What's she look like?

00:25:28What's she look like?

00:25:29What are you, a friggin' parrot?

00:25:32You know, I tell you this woman leaves this thing

00:25:35And, you know, I read the book for you

00:25:37And so next time, I'm not gonna help you out

00:25:39Jerk

00:25:43Jerk

00:25:47Simon, little buddy

00:25:58What do you want?

00:25:59Let's chill out, okay?

00:26:00I'm sorry, all right?

00:26:01Thanks

00:26:01Thank you for your help

00:26:03It's all right

00:26:04So, uh, you got a tape player?

00:26:06Like, do I have one on me?

00:26:09Yeah

00:26:09For you

00:26:11You want to borrow a tape player from me?

00:26:13Yes

00:26:14Sorry, I don't have one

00:26:17Okay

00:26:17Tell the boss if he wants me

00:26:19I'm working at home

00:26:20Test, testing

00:26:27One, two, three

00:26:28October 7th

00:26:31I begin these tapes as a record of the conspiracy

00:26:33I begin to see revealed

00:26:34I will record the facts

00:26:37Let the facts speak for themselves

00:26:39Let the facts speak for themselves

00:26:42Sorry, I-I'm...

00:27:07What is it, Elliot?

00:27:09It's all right

00:27:12I'm letting the world know

00:27:13I'm setting it down

00:27:15What are you talking about?

00:27:21I'm reading Austin Blair's new book

00:27:23Yes

00:27:25He knows what's going on

00:27:28October 8th

00:27:31I finished Blair's book in a rush

00:27:33I saw what his intention was

00:27:36Blair has, in some way I've yet to determine

00:27:39Been spying on our lives

00:27:41He has taken our existence

00:27:43And for his own sinister purposes

00:27:45Turned us into grotesques

00:27:47But this will not go unanswered

00:27:51Perhaps you are unaware of what is happening

00:27:59Are you speaking to me, Elliot?

00:28:02I'm talking to you and Mother

00:28:03And of what are we unaware?

00:28:07The conspiracy to discredit this family

00:28:09What conspiracy?

00:28:12What do you people do all day?

00:28:15Oh, my God, there's no need to be a...

00:28:17I'm sorry, I just seem to be the only person taking this seriously

00:28:19He's talking about Austin Blair

00:28:21The writer?

00:28:24You're a lawyer, you should do something, legally

00:28:26What are you talking about?

00:28:30In this piece he calls a fiction

00:28:32He's written a portrait of us

00:28:34Of the family

00:28:36In highly unflattering terms

00:28:37I think we have a very solid legal case

00:28:41And I think we should seek damages

00:28:42I haven't read this book

00:28:45Do you have a copy?

00:28:47I destroyed it

00:28:48I burned it

00:28:49Elliot, don't be so melodramatic

00:28:50It's in my room, I'll get it

00:28:52Please finish dinner

00:28:53We'll deal with this after dinner

00:28:55Yes

00:28:57All right

00:28:58Yes, yes, yes

00:29:01Yes

00:29:03I called the paper

00:29:17They said you'd left

00:29:18I wanted to work here

00:29:20Did you even notice

00:29:22I wasn't here last night, David?

00:29:23Did you?

00:29:24Not really

00:29:25We're all grown-ups here, aren't we?

00:29:29I'm a grown-up, David

00:29:31Listen, I hope this important story you're working on is going well

00:29:35It is

00:29:36And you don't need my help?

00:29:40No

00:29:40I know where this is going to go

00:29:44You do?

00:29:46This story

00:29:46You're not exactly sure where it's leading

00:29:49And that's exciting

00:29:50But I know it's about the girl, David

00:29:53Your stories like this are always about the girl

00:29:55And God, this one

00:29:55Don't throw that at me

00:29:56Why not? It's the truth

00:29:59Well, back off, okay?

00:30:00What do you want from me?

00:30:02You know what? I've decided

00:30:03What?

00:30:04I don't want to be just another chapter in your big story, you know

00:30:07I'm not up for that

00:30:08Fine

00:30:09What's for dessert?

00:30:12Give me a day or two and I'll have something good

00:30:14How good?

00:30:15There's every other paper in town's moving the story to the back pages

00:30:18I'm working on a source

00:30:22I've got a lead

00:30:23I've just got to play it out

00:30:24Your hunch, huh?

00:30:26Now, don't get excited

00:30:27But I'm working on something that could put us out in front of everybody

00:30:29I love this guy

00:30:31Why do I love this guy so much?

00:30:34Because I deliver

00:30:35Lena!

00:30:45What have you been up to?

00:30:46What's he been up to?

00:30:47Are you kidding?

00:30:48Is he kidding?

00:30:49I'm only doing the biggest story in town

00:30:51Austin Blair

00:30:52What about Austin Blair?

00:30:53About him being shot

00:30:55Austin Blair was shot when this happened?

00:30:57Read something besides his sports page you work on, Ray

00:31:00Really? Somebody shot him?

00:31:03Who's Austin Blair?

00:31:04You got a car?

00:31:08Why do you need a car?

00:31:10Uh-oh

00:31:11Why do you need a car?

00:31:15Get the hell out of New York

00:31:16Where are you gonna go?

00:31:18You hate the rest of the country

00:31:19I don't appreciate it

00:31:20Here

00:31:20We should all have your problems

00:31:22You know, it's too bad that you work for that rag

00:31:25We should be working together

00:31:27You're too good to be working for another

00:31:30You know what?

00:31:34What?

00:31:36It's lonely at the top, leader

00:31:37Hello?

00:32:00Hello?

00:32:07Hello?

00:32:08Hello?

00:32:09Hello?

00:32:10Hello?

00:32:11Hello?

00:32:12Hello?

00:32:13Hello?

00:32:14Hello?

00:32:15Hello?

00:32:16Hello?

00:32:17Hello?

00:32:18Hello?

00:32:19Hello?

00:32:20Hello?

00:32:21Hello?

00:32:22Hello?

00:32:23Hello?

00:32:24Hello?

00:32:25Hello?

00:32:26Hello?

00:32:27Hello?

00:32:28Hello?

00:32:29Hello?

00:32:30Hello?

00:32:31Hello?

00:32:32Hello?

00:32:33Hello?

00:32:34Hello?

00:32:35Hello?

00:33:06Who is it?

00:33:17Delivery from Simon at the New York Globe.

00:33:27October 11th.

00:33:29I present evidence to Emma.

00:33:30I taped a number of appearances on these talk shows.

00:33:37Look, this is...

00:33:39Yeah.

00:33:40I do.

00:33:40Here, he admits it.

00:33:42It's my job to observe.

00:33:44And yes, use people.

00:33:48Their lives.

00:33:50Their personal lives.

00:33:51That's what makes good fiction.

00:33:53Well, fiction that sells.

00:33:56But then, isn't what you're doing, isn't it more a job of reporting?

00:34:00Oh, you could say that, of course.

00:34:02But I am transforming raw material, and these people get...

00:34:06Well, Capote did it.

00:34:08Look what happened to him.

00:34:09But like him...

00:34:10Oh, I know these people.

00:34:12I know their world.

00:34:14I know their dirty little secrets.

00:34:16Wouldn't you like to know what I know?

00:34:23I never read his books, Elliot.

00:34:26It doesn't matter.

00:34:27It doesn't matter?

00:34:29He...

00:34:29What's wrong with you that you don't even...

00:34:32We shouldn't argue about this.

00:34:34We never argue.

00:34:35Yes.

00:34:53I know.

00:34:55I now believe I'm being followed by detectives.

00:34:58Or some person seeking to do me harm.

00:35:01I tried to call Austin Blair.

00:35:02His number's unlisted, of course.

00:35:04So now I'm going to write him...

00:35:06Stating my objections and asking for an apology.

00:35:09Perhaps he'll be a gentleman if we're smart.

00:35:26Do you have any books by Austin Blair?

00:35:28Yeah.

00:35:29He's very popular.

00:35:30Over there is a novel.

00:35:31We have some signed copies left.

00:35:34Yes.

00:35:42Yes, sir.

00:36:12Yes, sir.

00:36:42I go to City Hall.

00:36:53May I help you?

00:36:54Elliot Burgess. I'm here to see the mayor.

00:36:57Mayor?

00:36:58Yes, the mayor of New York City. This is where his office is. I'd like to see him. It's very important.

00:37:02I'm afraid you can't come here.

00:37:04Yes, of course. I didn't make an appointment.

00:37:08Perhaps I can make an appointment.

00:37:09Do I need to do that? Could you do that for me?

00:37:12Well, there is an assistant available to help you.

00:37:14That's terrific. That'd be great. Can I talk to him?

00:37:17Mr. Burgess, I still don't see what this has to do with the office of the mayor.

00:37:21Well, I believe I said Austin Blair has hired people to follow me.

00:37:24They're from...

00:37:27They follow me.

00:37:28Sometimes there are two of them.

00:37:31You just think I'm...

00:37:31It does seem to be an overreaction.

00:37:33I don't understand why a writer of Mr. Blair's reputation...

00:37:35I'd like to point out that my father is a very prominent attorney in this city.

00:37:38I'm aware of who your father is.

00:37:40I'm also aware of how helpful he was in the mayor's re-election campaign.

00:37:44Why don't you let me look into this?

00:37:45I appreciate that, Mr. Adamson.

00:37:54I read sections of this novel you've been ranting about, Elliot.

00:37:59There are really no legal grounds for action, as far as I can see.

00:38:04Besides, isn't there an Austin Blair at our club?

00:38:07We all met him.

00:38:08I don't remember that.

00:38:11Well, I'm sure if he's a member, he would never write about us.

00:38:15Thanks for taking the time to see me, Mr. Wilson.

00:38:17Not at all.

00:38:18Though I generally don't make it a habit to talk to the papers.

00:38:21It's an unofficial club policy.

00:38:24The Burgesses are members here in the club.

00:38:27Yes, well, they don't seem to make it out here to the island as often as they used to.

00:38:31Now they're out here two, three weeks during some of its own.

00:38:35But they come out here on occasion.

00:38:38Yes, Emma, I've seen a few times.

00:38:40She shows up.

00:38:43She's a real charmer.

00:38:45You've met Emma Burgess?

00:38:47Yes, I interviewed her for the story.

00:38:49Oh, yes, yes.

00:38:51What about Elliot and the...

00:38:53You know, it's best not to talk too much about that one yet.

00:38:57I've always thought he was a bit...

00:38:59You wouldn't have a register, something like that, that tells when the family was here?

00:39:03Oh, yes, yes.

00:39:04I'm sure there's a record of when they signed for meals, you know.

00:39:07We sent him a yearly statement.

00:39:08If I could just take a look at...

00:39:10No, I don't know about this.

00:39:12Members like their privacy, you know.

00:39:16I understand.

00:39:18But I'd really like to help out on the down payment of that sailboat you've been eyeing.

00:39:22Sailboat, I...

00:39:25Oh, yes, that one.

00:39:29Well, she's a real beauty, sir.

00:39:32Just a few hundred for the...

00:39:34Tell me, how'd you know I was the sailing sort?

00:39:38It's my job.

00:39:39Is it all right?

00:39:39Well, you know, it's been around a lot.

00:39:40I'm sure we've arrived here.

00:39:41I'm sure you have to try it.

00:39:42I can't find his friend in the back.

00:39:43I don't know.

00:39:43I'm sure you've got any people.

00:39:44I know.

00:39:45I don't know.

00:39:45I know.

00:39:46I know.

00:39:46But I know.

00:39:46I know.

00:39:47I know.

00:39:48I know.

00:39:49I know.

00:39:50I know.

00:40:21October 15th. I do not know whether Blair ever met my sister or not. It doesn't matter. He admitted to the public at large that it was his job, his profession, his art to turn life into fiction. But there is a cost. Austin Blair should know the cost of his fiction.

00:40:44And he will.

00:41:14And he will.

00:41:16I will.

00:41:18A man then came inside. It was Austin Blair. I think the woman was a relative of Blair's and the two of them were amusing themselves at my expense.

00:41:26A man then came inside.

00:41:32A man then came inside.

00:41:39The fact is stranger than fiction, they say.

00:42:08Is that what they say?

00:42:09She wants me to know.

00:42:11Know what?

00:42:12What was happening in the family.

00:42:14But these tapes, they only cover a week.

00:42:17Maybe not.

00:42:18Oh, there's more.

00:42:20She's doing it just how I want.

00:42:22Unless she's doing you.

00:42:31We need to go somewhere.

00:42:33I've read Austin Blair's novel.

00:42:35I liked it very much.

00:42:37Those tapes, I could have printed them.

00:42:39Don't you understand?

00:42:40I could have done that.

00:42:41But I'm breaking the rules.

00:42:44I'm doing that for you.

00:42:46There's no one with mustard and, uh...

00:42:49That's great.

00:42:50There's no one with mustard and, uh...

00:42:51that's great.

00:42:53They're everywhere now.

00:43:17I know who you are.

00:43:19Why are you doing this?

00:43:20I said I know who you are.

00:43:21You're working for the mayor.

00:43:21I think it would be best if you went back to your table.

00:43:24I recognize who you are.

00:43:26Well, I'm not in my office now.

00:43:27I'm trying to.

00:43:29People are looking at us.

00:43:34I give these facts for what they may be worth.

00:43:43Called again last night on Blair.

00:43:44They said he had gone, so my trouble has been in vain.

00:43:48Is he at home now?

00:43:50Is Blair watching me?

00:43:52Blair is ignoring it.

00:43:53My last letter is itself a confession of guilty.

00:43:58A man who has done nothing wrong will listen to a man who claims that he has.

00:44:03Also, the whole tone of my letter showed that my intentions were as amicable as he would let them be.

00:44:07Elliot.

00:44:08I think maybe it would help if you talk with someone.

00:44:14I love you, Emma.

00:44:18I won't let anyone do anything to disgrace you.

00:44:21I would never let them.

00:44:22I know, Elliot.

00:44:22I just...

00:44:24Maybe it would be good if you talk with someone who doesn't know us who could be objective about all of this.

00:44:29Do you think he...

00:44:33Oh, yeah.

00:44:37I don't know.

00:44:39I don't know.

00:44:40I don't know.

00:44:41I haven't read this particular book.

00:44:54Then I wonder how qualified you are to continue this discussion.

00:44:59Well, I...

00:45:00I feel I'm qualified to talk to you about this feeling that you're followed by agents of...

00:45:12Blair.

00:45:13Austin Blair.

00:45:14I do not know conclusively that they work for him.

00:45:17I do not have proof.

00:45:18Yes.

00:45:19Yeah.

00:45:24Yeah, sure.

00:45:32I found Elliot a very stimulating case.

00:45:35Very stimulating.

00:45:36Did he...

00:45:37Did he ever talk about it in any detail?

00:45:40I mean, what it was exactly that made him feel...

00:45:43Well, you know, I finally read this novel of his, of Blair's,

00:45:47and I didn't understand what all the, uh...

00:45:50I mean, I didn't find it particularly well-written or insightful.

00:45:53Exactly.

00:45:54Don't read much fiction myself.

00:45:56Don't have the time.

00:45:57But Elliot...

00:45:58Yes.

00:45:59Elliot read to the point where fiction and fact blurred.

00:46:02I tried to impress on Elliot the need to stick to the facts.

00:46:05Like you do.

00:46:06As a newspaper reporter, you can't print lies, can you?

00:46:08No, of course not.

00:46:10October 17th.

00:46:12Here are some thoughts I've written down for titles, poems, or articles.

00:46:19Dreams in the dark.

00:46:22Love and pain.

00:46:24The vulture.

00:46:25Let me see them.

00:46:27Well, I haven't actually written them yet.

00:46:30Poems.

00:46:31But I have every intention of doing so.

00:46:34Sheldon, dream when you do.

00:46:36I'll send them to you first.

00:46:38I'll show them to you.

00:46:43Did I say send them?

00:46:44Oh, that's funny.

00:46:51That doctor, the one that I said I've been going to?

00:46:53Uh-huh.

00:46:54I don't go there.

00:46:58You don't?

00:47:00No.

00:47:01I go to the movies.

00:47:03I go to the movies and then I come home.

00:47:05And I practice.

00:47:07I practice the violin.

00:47:08I know I haven't played in a while.

00:47:11Violin.

00:47:12I play for you, though.

00:47:15You love me and I say you love me.

00:47:16Stop this.

00:47:17Stop this.

00:47:17I don't know.

00:47:18You're listening to me.

00:47:35But we're not trying to do so.

00:47:44October 30th.

00:48:05October 30th.

00:48:14They're spying on me.

00:48:38Elliot?

00:48:43What are you doing on the floor?

00:48:46What?

00:48:47Were you sleeping on the floor?

00:48:50No.

00:48:51I was exercising.

00:48:52It was concentration exercises.

00:48:57Eastern mind expansion techniques.

00:49:00Oh, how interesting.

00:49:04I've never done this before.

00:49:18I appreciate your help.

00:49:20Well, you'll need to fill out these applications for a license.

00:49:25They'll take about two weeks.

00:49:27Not in that much of a hurry to wait for me till then.

00:49:30Yeah.

00:49:55It's beautiful.

00:49:58It's just...

00:50:01It's been some time since...

00:50:03I'm sorry.

00:50:04Don't be sorry.

00:50:06Okay.

00:50:23I'm sorry.

00:50:28November 2

00:50:35Bliss is an effervescence

00:50:37Joy a flood

00:50:38Happiness is golden

00:50:58November 11

00:50:59Armed, I feel great power

00:51:03I feel invincible

00:51:04This is what the common criminal must feel

00:51:07This lack of power transformed by the gun in the pocket

00:51:11Does that make me a common criminal?

00:51:21I would like to talk to someone from the Metropolitan Section

00:51:24Who are you?

00:51:26I have some information about

00:51:27What about a news story?

00:51:30What news story?

00:51:33Well, it hasn't actually happened yet

00:51:35We're all pretty busy right now

00:51:38Why don't you leave me your name and phone number

00:51:39When this story actually happens

00:51:41We'll get in touch with you

00:51:42Thank you

00:51:53Phone you later

00:51:54Elliot

00:52:08Do you think that that doctor has been of any help?

00:52:12A great deal

00:52:13He puts so much in perspective

00:52:15You ought to, it costs enough

00:52:16Since when do you worry about what things cost?

00:52:19I just don't like to be hustled

00:52:21He is very well respected in his feet

00:52:24If you believe in that sort of thing

00:52:27But I never had to go and talk about my childhood or my dreams to some total stranger

00:52:32I'm doing just fine

00:52:35Thank you very much

00:52:36Elliot stays in the house too much

00:52:40If you don't really

00:52:41I don't think he does

00:52:42I think the solution

00:52:44Is it reads less fiction, more history

00:52:47I was a history major before law school

00:52:51Civil war

00:52:53Now that's a fascinating subject

00:52:57You have to look to the future

00:53:05Yes

00:53:06Maybe going back to school

00:53:09And do what?

00:53:10Law

00:53:11Perhaps you could find a place in there

00:53:13No thank you

00:53:14Being an attorney doesn't appeal to me

00:53:15Elliot, you have to do something

00:53:18Maybe I'll run for office

00:53:19Political office

00:53:21That would be exciting

00:53:22He's not serious

00:53:23I talked to the mayor the other day

00:53:26No one would vote for you

00:53:28You could make them vote for me, father

00:53:30Can I help you?

00:53:52Oh, where's the dining room?

00:53:54Are you a member, sir?

00:53:55Actually, I was wondering if I could just look at your dining room

00:53:58Well, I'm afraid it's members only

00:53:59But if you know a member of the club

00:54:00You could have a drink as a guest

00:54:02I'm a reporter

00:54:03Doing a story on Austin and Blair

00:54:05Oh

00:54:06I see

00:54:07Well, I think perhaps it's

00:54:08It's all right

00:54:09He'll be my guest

00:54:10Well, thank you

00:54:11You're welcome

00:54:12I'm Reggie Shaw

00:54:14Let me get you a drink

00:54:15God knows I need one

00:54:17Well, it's dinner time in London

00:54:19So somebody must be toasting me

00:54:21Austin

00:54:22Look around

00:54:29The average age of the members of this club is the same as room temperature

00:54:34And we're all disgustingly rich

00:54:37We have more money than we know what to do with

00:54:39So most of us marry six times or drink

00:54:44What about Blair?

00:54:46Well, he only married three or four times

00:54:48And I could drink him under the table

00:54:51No, he's a nice fellow

00:54:54Actually, you know, I miss him a very great deal

00:54:56He was so wonderfully nasty

00:54:59But nasty in a very witty way

00:55:01I miss that here

00:55:03And you had lunch with him that afternoon?

00:55:05The afternoon he was shot, yes I did

00:55:07You know what I remember most?

00:55:09What?

00:55:11The poached salmon was off

00:55:13Now, the poached salmon is never off

00:55:16Should have been a warning

00:55:17Well, how could you have known?

00:55:18Well, I couldn't really

00:55:19But he did mention various letters and phone calls

00:55:22Well, he did get those sometimes

00:55:24Well, he's a public figure

00:55:26And someone disagrees with you

00:55:29It does happen

00:55:30Well, who knows?

00:55:30Someone may be stalking you right now

00:55:32Me?

00:55:33Yeah, somebody who doesn't especially like the way you've been nosing around so much

00:55:37Now, the thing that I have learned about the people who join clubs like this

00:55:41Yes?

00:55:42They like quiet

00:55:43And they're willing to pay for it

00:55:45I don't suppose you have a price?

00:55:51Everybody's got a price

00:55:52What's yours, young man?

00:55:56Good lunch at a fancy private club

00:55:58With a charming old fart like me

00:56:22What are you doing?

00:56:50If I had a gun, you know how easy it would be to kill you?

00:56:53Really easy?

00:56:54Are you robbing me of something?

00:56:56Oh, no

00:56:56No, not at all

00:56:56I'm imagining what it'd be like to walk up to someone you don't know and shoot them

00:57:00Uh, I don't have a gun

00:57:02Looks good for me

00:57:03Have a nice day

00:57:04Why does somebody kill?

00:57:13To be God

00:57:15The power of life and death

00:57:17But then why does he kill himself?

00:57:19Guilt over exercising that power

00:57:21He must punish himself

00:57:23Huh?

00:57:24We all fantasize about the ability to kill

00:57:27It's normal

00:57:28It's normal

00:57:28The actual realization

00:57:31Right

00:57:31Is abnormal

00:57:33But we, all of us, at some time, fantasize about killing somebody

00:57:38For example

00:57:39For example

00:57:41I might think about killing my father

00:57:45I did think about killing him

00:57:48In his eyes, I constantly fail

00:57:51No matter what

00:57:52I'm a failure

00:57:53The child in me

00:57:55The unconscious

00:57:55Wants to kill him

00:57:57But do I?

00:57:59No

00:57:59But

00:58:00The wish is there

00:58:01Yeah

00:58:02You ever want to kill somebody?

00:58:07Sure

00:58:08Sure, someone I don't like

00:58:10Someone who makes more money than I do

00:58:12Someone that I think doesn't deserve the recognition they have

00:58:16Sure

00:58:17Of course

00:58:20Somebody could feel that way about you

00:58:22November 20th

00:58:30I have decided to confront Blair

00:58:34Are you lost in Blair?

00:58:43No

00:58:44Sorry, I thought you might have been someone else

00:58:46I received a phone call today at my office

00:58:54I imagine you received several every day

00:58:57But I suppose this pertained to me

00:58:59Well, it was from this doctor, the one you were supposedly seeing

00:59:02Now he says you break appointments or you don't show up

00:59:06You've lied to us

00:59:07The man's an idiot

00:59:08He's a non-entity

00:59:10I think that you should talk to this person

00:59:13We're concerned about you

00:59:16I'm really very capable

00:59:17I will not be humiliated

00:59:19I have a position

00:59:20You will see this doctor tomorrow

00:59:23That's understood

00:59:25I go to another doctor

00:59:30So that they will feel this might deter me

00:59:32It won't

00:59:34You can fool them

00:59:35They like to hear themselves talk, the doctors

00:59:37You pay them to hear them talk

00:59:39Then you talk

00:59:40Then they talk

00:59:41And then you go home

00:59:42I'd like to recommend some medication

00:59:44Perhaps that might be just

00:59:46You think I should

00:59:47Well, let's just be safe, shall we?

00:59:51See you Thursday

01:00:12I'm glad that you're seeing this

01:00:27Dr. Leonard

01:00:29Yes, he's very good

01:00:30He agrees we have a case, Father

01:00:32He does

01:00:33Why couldn't God have made things move as quick as light

01:00:40Rather than as slow as planets?

01:00:42I wish I could have been introduced to Austin Blair some time ago

01:01:04Things would have turned out so differently

01:01:07I noticed something today, Father

01:01:11I noticed on a legal pad in your office

01:01:15That you had written your name five times to form a star

01:01:18And that once you had written your name in a circle

01:01:20That doesn't mean anything

01:01:22And also I noticed that you had a habit of writing your name

01:01:25On little slips of paper

01:01:27Torn from book margins, fly leaves, and the backs of bills

01:01:29It indicates to me a type of compulsive behavior that surprised me

01:01:33Perhaps they would help you to talk to someone about this

01:01:36The doctor has put him on medication

01:01:38Please don't whisper about me, it's very rude

01:01:41You're right, we're sorry

01:01:43Emma, are you going out later?

01:01:48Yes, I'm meeting a friend from school

01:01:51Oh, you remember Ann Hodges?

01:01:53Oh, yes, of course

01:01:55She's a cat out

01:01:56She's also rumored to be bisexual

01:01:57A bisexual bovine

01:01:58And I cannot finish this food

01:02:00Can I help you?

01:02:23Yes

01:02:23Does Austin Blair live here?

01:02:25Yes

01:02:26Do you know what time it is?

01:02:28I'm aware of the time I would like to see Austin Blair

01:02:30Well, he's not in here

01:02:31Do you know who you're talking to?

01:02:35Listen, get out of my face before I call the cops

01:02:38You tell him Elliot Burgess was here

01:02:41You tell him

01:02:42Idiot

01:02:56You shouldn't have this

01:03:04Feel how heavy it is?

01:03:07It's much heavier than I imagine

01:03:08The man in the store said it was one of the better models

01:03:11It would do the job

01:03:12Promise me you'll never use this

01:03:15I should never have showed you

01:03:18I've lost you, Emma

01:03:21I've lost you to somebody else

01:03:23Nothing matters if I've lost you

01:03:27A man in the world who does just about as he pleases

01:03:49Is liable to be a social outcast

01:03:51A member of the top 400

01:03:52Or both

01:03:53Perhaps the blue pinstripe, Elliot

01:03:57I can do this myself, Mother

01:03:58Of course

01:04:00But it's very important

01:04:01The picture you give to the world

01:04:02I'm old enough to pick out my own clothes

01:04:04You'd be lost without me

01:04:07Don't patronize me, Mother

01:04:08Please, don't

01:04:10I look for Austin Blair

01:04:12In the park

01:04:14At his club

01:04:15Outside his home

01:04:16It's time

01:04:18The world is beautiful

01:04:31I carry the gun with me

01:04:33Just in case

01:04:34I'm going to talk to her

01:04:56But she's

01:04:58Trouble

01:04:59This woman sounds like trouble

01:05:01I know it's wrong

01:05:02But I got to

01:05:03What's so special about this one?

01:05:05If you saw her, you wouldn't ask

01:05:07Really?

01:05:10Really

01:05:10I'm going to see this out

01:05:11If you were me, you would too

01:05:13I know you

01:05:14The lawyer said I shouldn't be seeing you

01:05:19Those tapes Elliot made?

01:05:20You left them for me

01:05:21You have no idea

01:05:23Give me a little credit

01:05:24You left me the tapes

01:05:25You knew I'd have to listen to them all

01:05:26And you knew I'd use them

01:05:27And I'll use them

01:05:28But not how you meant for me to

01:05:29Shall I go on?

01:05:30All right

01:05:32At first, when I figured it was you

01:05:34Left me the tapes

01:05:35I couldn't answer a big question

01:05:36Why drop this stuff in my lap?

01:05:39I couldn't see it as some compulsion

01:05:40To have the world know the truth

01:05:41Far from it

01:05:42After all, you'd been acting all along

01:05:44Like I was some sort of vampire

01:05:45Taking your family and your life

01:05:46And putting them in the papers

01:05:47It's your job, Mr. Leader

01:05:49So I come back to why

01:05:50Why the tapes

01:05:51And why me?

01:05:53Because

01:05:53To anyone listening to the tapes

01:05:55They proved that Elliot was insane

01:05:56That he was convinced

01:05:58That Austin Blair was writing about you

01:05:59That somehow he'd found out your dirty little secrets

01:06:02And Elliot loved you too much to let that go

01:06:04But the truth is

01:06:05That what Elliot thought was true

01:06:06Was true

01:06:07What exactly is that?

01:06:10That, in fact, Austin Blair was writing about you

01:06:13That you told him everything he needed

01:06:15That you slept with Blair

01:06:17Elliot wasn't fantasizing

01:06:19Not as much as you want people to believe

01:06:21You did know him

01:06:22I went out to your club

01:06:24And the record showed when you were there the summer before

01:06:26And I did a little further looking

01:06:28And I found out when Austin Blair was there too

01:06:30There were enough times in common to draw some conclusions

01:06:32You can't prove anything

01:06:34I don't have to

01:06:35I'm not a lawyer

01:06:36I'm a reporter

01:06:37I work for a newspaper

01:06:39You're guilty until proven innocent

01:06:41All I have to do is say it

01:06:42And it's true

01:06:43And I think you know that

01:06:44Which is why you left me the tapes

01:06:46But I didn't come up with the story you needed

01:06:48Why are you doing this to me?

01:06:51You're just a story, Emma

01:06:52I don't believe that

01:06:54Look

01:06:55You don't either

01:06:55Why don't you get out of my life?

01:06:58I'm not in your life

01:07:00It's not true

01:07:01None of what you say is true

01:07:04I...

01:07:07How can you live with yourself when you do this to people?

01:07:12Sometimes I can't

01:07:18Ella, you should know I've directed the, uh, firm

01:07:36To continue libel proceedings against the paper

01:07:38I don't think that's necessary

01:07:40You don't?

01:07:43No

01:07:43I'm taking care of this on my own

01:07:45We don't need to involve the firm

01:07:48I'll see it through

01:07:50And it'll be settled our way

01:07:51December 1st

01:08:13Emma

01:08:26In my room

01:08:28I've kept a record of what's happened

01:08:30On tape

01:08:31I've put down the facts

01:08:33And my thoughts

01:08:35I don't think that's...

01:08:37It's important that everything be documented

01:08:40I'm leaving it for you

01:08:41I don't want this, Elliot

01:08:52Even if we were awarded a decision

01:08:54It wouldn't be enough

01:08:55Vengeance is at the heart of justice

01:08:56I'm just completing something Blair started

01:08:59Your scarf, sir

01:09:14Have a nice day, sir

01:09:25Yes

01:09:39Here you go

01:09:41Here I go

01:09:45Yes, Keneally there

01:10:52You were standing out and I was like...

01:10:53I know, I know I shouldn't have come here.

01:10:56I had to. I was afraid to call you.

01:11:04My family.

01:11:06They don't know.

01:11:08What about you and Blair?

01:11:09No.

01:11:10And they're proceeding with this lawsuit.

01:11:13When what you know comes out, it's going to ruin our family.

01:11:16Look, I don't care about myself.

01:11:20I don't care what anybody has to say about me.

01:11:23I have done these things.

01:11:26I live in this world if anybody does these things.

01:11:30Maybe when you have money, you get bored, huh?

01:11:32Huh?

01:11:36Tonight with you,

01:11:37I'm going to sleep with you.

01:11:44You wanted it too.

01:11:49Didn't you?

01:11:51Yes.

01:11:54I knew that.

01:11:57Otherwise I wouldn't have come.

01:11:58I knew you would have made me.

01:12:16How much did you think about this happening?

01:12:18Too much.

01:12:19You won't let me go until we do this.

01:12:21No.

01:12:35I'm sorry.

01:13:37I'm thinking about taking some time off.

01:13:40Time off from what?

01:13:41From the paper.

01:13:42I want to spend time with her.

01:13:45It's important I do that, you know.

01:13:49So you're taking time off for the broad?

01:13:52Yes.

01:13:54What are you saying here, Dave?

01:13:57I'm saying that the story is there is no story.

01:14:00This kid, Elliot, was crazy.

01:14:02He gets an idea that this book was written about him and his family, and he's nuts.

01:14:06And it was a waste of time.

01:14:08I didn't find out anything new.

01:14:10What's this about?

01:14:11Is this about more money, Mr. Al?

01:14:14Is this about you need to make more money?

01:14:16What, the Trib wants you over there?

01:14:17I work for the Trib.

01:14:18They're scum.

01:14:19You're better off staying here.

01:14:20It's not about money.

01:14:22You told me you were on to something.

01:14:24Well, I was wrong.

01:14:26I don't know.

01:14:27You don't know?

01:14:28You don't know what?

01:14:29You're on drugs?

01:14:31This is a series.

01:14:32It's good.

01:14:33Okay, you're stuck a little.

01:14:34People aren't talking.

01:14:35You feel you deserve a higher salary.

01:14:37It's got nothing to do with...

01:14:38We've been here before, Leader.

01:14:40We've reached this point.

01:14:43Is the story Blue Ribbon, or is it a bust?

01:14:46You told me.

01:14:46You said, give me a few days.

01:14:48I got something.

01:14:49I held you in reserve.

01:14:51Now it's time off?

01:14:51I can't finish it.

01:14:53Tell me something else.

01:14:54Get someone else.

01:14:55God help me.

01:14:56Get Simon.

01:14:57Better yet, just let it die.

01:14:59Oh.

01:15:00Um...

01:15:01The lawyer's been talking to you?

01:15:06No.

01:15:10Well, any libel thing, the paper, behind you, it's all...

01:15:14We can beat it.

01:15:14That's it.

01:15:15I'm done with it.

01:15:16My dad is telling you.

01:15:22And I swear by my dad.

01:15:32Good

01:15:32And I swear by me, I said to you.

01:15:33God help me.

01:15:34So I'll get to you.

01:15:36And I swear by my dad's friend, I swear by my dad is closing myです.

01:15:40I'm off the story.

01:16:05You all right?

01:16:06I thought you should know.

01:16:12I told them there was no more story.

01:16:17I don't want... I don't know what exactly.

01:16:19I don't want...

01:16:22I'm thinking of you.

01:16:24I told my father to drop the suit.

01:16:39Stop legal proceedings against the paper.

01:16:44He's not.

01:16:45If I refuse to testify, there is no case.

01:16:51If I refuse to testify, there is no case.

01:17:15links in other words,

01:17:19And I'll let you...

01:17:50We can't.

01:17:53Why not?

01:17:55I don't trust you.

01:17:59It's the problem.

01:18:07What if I gave you something?

01:18:11What?

01:18:16Something variable.

01:18:19What?

01:18:41What?

01:21:08Disappear? How's it going to look?

01:21:11Do you care how things look?

01:21:13No.

01:21:14The story's over.

01:21:15You mean you're finished with it, right?

01:21:17Right.

01:21:18And it ends with Elliot.

01:21:20Elliot was crazy, just what they say.

01:21:23Just like we said.

01:21:26So go away with me.

01:21:29I want to.

01:21:30All right.

01:21:34I'll make the year angels.

01:21:36Come on.

01:21:41What's this?

01:21:42I'm leaving, Simon.

01:21:43Another assignment, huh?

01:21:44Taking some time off.

01:21:46Couldn't finish that great American novel you've been struggling with, right?

01:21:49Yeah, that's it.

01:21:50Well, good luck.

01:21:52Thanks.

01:21:53Hey, you can have this.

01:21:54It's not bad.

01:21:57I quit the paper.

01:21:59It was everything I ever wanted, and I just tossed it.

01:22:02Funny you should bring this up.

01:22:04Guess who calls me today?

01:22:06Who?

01:22:07Keneally.

01:22:09Really?

01:22:10Yeah.

01:22:10Asks if I want to work with him.

01:22:12Says he's always had his eye on me.

01:22:14Says he thinks I could go the distance.

01:22:17Offers me your job.

01:22:19So I take it.

01:22:21What can I say?

01:22:22I congratulate you on this career move.

01:22:24I do.

01:22:25I gotta say, I don't know what you're doing.

01:22:28Neither do I.

01:22:29But it's too late.

01:22:31It's out of my hands.

01:22:53And one should be under Burgess, Emma Burgess.

01:22:57Mr. Leader, we have your reservation, but there's no Burgess, no Emma Burgess.

01:23:03Might it be under some other name?

01:23:05Check it again.

01:23:06Burgess.

01:23:06B-U-R-G-E-S-S.

01:23:12Nothing under that.

01:24:52We're done now.

01:24:53You can take it away.

01:24:59I'm not quite finished.

01:25:08Here we go.

01:25:10I'm going to take it away.

01:25:14I'm not going to take it away.
