00:00What have you been doing since the station closed out?

00:03I've been looking for work, taking care of my mother, thinking.

00:11What are you thinking about?

00:12There are so many accidents here in Carmack.

00:17So that's why we have to hire a middleman.

00:20Are you aware of what the position involves?

00:23I think I have a pretty good idea.

00:25I'm proud of you, Frank. Carmack's new middleman.

00:27Good morning, Frank. Here are your business cards.

00:32I've got my own secretary.

00:33Secretary!

00:34Each person has their own way of grieving, and no two people's grief is the same.

00:38You only get one chance. That means you say as little as possible.

00:41You'll have to meet people face to face at the most difficult times.

00:46What can middleman do?

00:47A middleman brings people news.

00:49What happened?

00:50They were hit by the train.

00:52What are you telling me?

00:53He just walks around the house in his black suit all the time.

00:59Yeah. No accidents for weeks now.

01:01That's good.

01:02Don't want to be out of a job just because people were lucky for a few days.

01:05You're bound by confidentiality.

01:07Even if we don't say anything, that's confidential too.

01:09Got it?

01:10Yep.

01:10I don't know if you only knew, Steve.

01:12If I only knew what?

01:13I'm sworn to secrecy. I'm sorry. I can't.

01:16Frank Pirelli is here, looking for casualties.

01:18Yeah. What are you going to do?

01:23You're not a middleman now, Frank. You're a witness.

01:27Something bothering you, Frank?

01:28You think I look like someone who brings people bad news?

01:31Maybe there's something inside you that feels something.

01:34I haven't slept a wink. I've been so worried about you.

01:37I don't know who you're keeping company with anymore.

01:40You're just testing you, Frank.

01:42It was too easy.

01:44It was just...

01:45There are enough loose ends to make a flying carpet.

01:49Sometimes I wonder, what are accidents, really?

01:52Where have you been?

01:53None of your business.

01:54Frank, this time you're the one receiving the news.

01:57It's your fault, the whole thing.

01:58You're bad luck, Pirelli.

02:00Frank, what have you done?

02:02You're bad luck.

02:03Bye.

02:04Bye.

02:05Bye.
