00:00:00I was sitting in on a lecture Auden gave at Harvard about Don Quixote,
00:00:04in which he admitted he never managed to read the novel through to the end,
00:00:08and he doubted whether anyone in the audience could finish the damn thing either.
00:00:14You're through, Austin. I think so.
00:00:16Thank you, Jim.
00:00:17Afterwards, I hung around and invited Auden for tea or sherry or opium, something,
00:00:23and he accepted.
00:00:25And did he seduce you, you old catamite?
00:00:28No, he fell asleep.
00:00:30You know, this poached salmon was a bit off today. How was your veal?
00:00:35Not bad.
00:00:36Isn't that, you know, he's famous?
00:00:39You mean the writer?
00:00:40Yes.
00:00:42Well, they say he tried to poison his second wife.
00:00:45No.
00:00:46I saw you on television.
00:00:48Oh, hawking my wares in the marketplace?
00:00:50I forget what you said. You gave that interviewer a difficult time.
00:00:53She was an idiot.
00:00:55Your new book, I haven't read it, of course,
00:00:58but it's supposed to be wonderful, so I've been told.
00:01:01I told you.
00:01:02I think I'll, uh, do without coffee today, Reg.
00:01:06Let me sign for it.
00:01:07Thanks.
00:01:09My best to Slim and company.
00:01:11I'll pass on the salutations.
00:01:23And your scarf.
00:01:30Have a nice day, sir.
00:01:45You're Austin Blair.
00:01:47Yes.
00:01:49Here you go.
00:01:51Here I go.
00:02:24Here you go.

00:07:04Hi.
00:07:05Hey, I thought we were meeting for lunch today.
00:07:07Oh, I'm sorry. I was, uh, interviewing.
00:07:10Yeah, I figured something was up.
00:07:13So?
00:07:14Who are you working on this time?
00:07:16Austin Blair.
00:07:17I heard somebody shot him.
00:07:19Yeah. Tell her some rich kid.
00:07:21Family won't talk, not even on TV.
00:07:23But if I can get the goods, this could be the one.
00:07:26Meaning?
00:07:27Talk shows, book deals, film rights, you name it.
00:07:30Yeah, this could be the one.
00:07:32I liked his books.
00:07:34Whose?
00:07:34Austin Blair, David. I liked his books.
00:07:36Oh, please.
00:07:37I did. They were very smart, witty.
00:07:40He had great insight into women.
00:07:42Hannah, his books make People magazine look like Proust.
00:07:45When's the last time you read Proust, David?
00:07:47So, okay, maybe I've only read the classics illustrated version.
00:07:50Haven't you made any dinner, I'm starving.
00:08:00This pasta, you know which this is?
00:08:02This pasta, right?
00:08:04Yeah, it's the one in the magazine I showed you.
00:08:07I don't remember.
00:08:08You don't remember?
00:08:09You asked me to make it for you sometime.
00:08:11Oh, now you made it.
00:08:14You're welcome.
00:08:32You never told me you read Austin Blair.
00:08:52Come on in.
00:08:53Hey, let's do it.
00:08:56You're OK.
00:08:57You put it in there.
00:08:57Oh, thank God.
00:08:58It's the monster.
00:09:01The assailant had one flare type pen in his inner jacket pocket.
00:09:04His pants pocket contained a set of keys, 45 cents a loose change, a wallet containing $51, a membership card
00:09:11to a musician's union, a membership card to the Museum of Modern Arts, a social security card, driver's license, two
00:09:18credit cards, no photos, and a pocket tape recorder.
00:09:21Austin Blair appeared on AM New York earlier this week to publicize his latest novel.
00:09:24And a writer. But I am transforming raw material. And people get... Well... Huh? Capote did it. And look what
00:09:37happened to him.
00:09:50Hey, you.
00:09:54What time is it?
00:10:11How's it going?
00:10:13Working on something big.
00:10:15The Blair killing?
00:10:16Uh-huh.
00:10:17You always get the good ones.
00:10:18Kiss my...
00:10:19Good stories.
00:10:20The women.
00:10:20Yeah, but people respect you, Booth.
00:10:24Did you ever read any of Blair's stuff?
00:10:26Not if I could help it.
00:10:27Why would someone want to whack him?
00:10:30Didn't like his prose style.
00:10:32What you got on the killer's family?
00:10:33Still lived at home. With his mother and his father and his sister.
00:10:37But he's the quiet type. Always walking little old ladies across the street.
00:10:41And then he hears dogs talking to him.
00:10:43Where'd he get the gun?
00:10:45He's serious. This is America. Anybody can get a gun. I walk into Safeway, I pick up a gun.
00:10:49Thought there might be something to finding out where he got the gun, but what do I know? I work
00:10:53for another paper.
00:10:54I gotta get to the mom before the TV slime. Makes great copy of moms. They love me.
00:11:00Oh, my gag.
00:11:03Hello?
00:11:05Yes, I'd like to speak to Mrs. Burgess.
00:11:07Who is this?
00:11:08I'm a reporter for the...
00:11:09I'm not good.
00:11:10A spokesman for our firm will make a statement to the press at the appropriate time.
00:11:15Excuse me, but your son just murdered a prominent...
00:11:17I'm aware of what happened. There will be a statement later.
00:11:36Do I know you?
00:11:40No, I'm a reporter for the...
00:11:42Hey, give me a second, okay?
00:11:44I've got nothing to say.
00:11:46Hold it, wait.
00:11:47Please, I want to understand.
00:11:49There's nothing to understand.
00:11:51A terrible thing happened. My brother did a terrible thing.
00:11:54I don't know how to live with that.
00:12:10I cook for them.
00:12:11I cook the regular dinners.
00:12:13And when they have company, you know, more than four or five, they have somebody extra.
00:12:17Tell me about Elliot.
00:12:20I talked already to the police.
00:12:22Yes, I know.
00:12:23But we have our little arrangement.
00:12:25And I'll bet you could remember a thing or two you forgot to tell them.
00:12:29Well, he'd stay up in his room a long time.
00:12:32Sometimes most of the day.
00:12:34Sometimes he'd be practicing his violin.
00:12:37Other times, nothing.
00:12:39Did you ever see a gun in his room?
00:12:42I never saw a gun.
00:12:44He could raise hell with the father.
00:12:47The two of them always arguing over the sister Emma.
00:12:51Anybody criticize her?
00:12:54That boy explode.
00:12:56Screaming, waving his arms.
00:13:01You want to pay me now?
00:13:26You want to pay me now?
00:13:45Why are you following me?
00:13:47Excuse me?
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 anymore.
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...
00:14:16I 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.
00:14:46Let me be the judge of that.
00:14:48Here, you can call me.
00:14:50My name's David Leader.
00:14:51Here's my office number.
00:14:53Please, give me a call, Miss Burgess.
00:15:05Give me nothing better than a crap on the 6 o'clock news.
00:15:08I'm working on it.
00:15:09Close the door.
00:15:13Close the door.
00:15:23I'm intrigued by this story.
00:15:25I'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.
00:15:37Factual speculation?
00:15:38You got me where I am today.
00:15:41Well, 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.
00:16:14Killing someone.
00:16:16That finishes it, in a way.
00:16:30Fantasize about killing is normal.
00:16:33We all do it.
00:16:55Have you seen this movie?
00:17:00Yes.
00:17:01No.
00:17:02I don't remember.
00:17:05I should have rented something else.
00:17:07Do 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 again.
00:17:23I know we could.
00:17:39I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:41I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:41I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:41I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:41I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:42I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:43I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:43I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:44I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:46I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:46I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:48I know we could find that spot again.
00:17:54You drive me wild, you're made.
00:18:19I knew Elliot through Emma.
00:18:22Emma and I, it's been a few weeks since we've gotten together.
00:18:26We talk on the phone, we know each other from school,
00:18:29and then we weekend together at the Hamptons.
00:18:31And Elliot?
00:18:33Elliot is a very withdrawn person.
00:18:37Did you ever talk to him?
00:18:38Always with Emma. He was very protective of Emma.
00:18:41He would have terrible fights with her father.
00:18:43Over Emma?
00:18:47Emma could be...
00:18:49I should not be telling you this.
00:18:50No, no, no, please, go ahead.
00:18:55We used to think Emma was a tease, you know?
00:18:59She had that reputation.
00:19:01She would... I think she's over this period now because...
00:19:03But 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.
00:19:13You must think...
00:19:15Um...
00:19:18We used to be very close.
00:19:20I wouldn't want you to think badly of her.
00:19:22No, no.
00:19:24Now, do you have that picture?
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:31There it is.
00:19:34Like they were a couple.
00:19:37Can I have this?
00:19:41Thanks, Annie.
00:19:54So, how's it coming?
00:19:55Fine.
00:19:56Hey, you know what you could do for me?
00:19:57What?
00:19:58You know Austin Blair's book, his latest?
00:20:00You read it?
00:20:01Not yet.
00:20:02Maybe you could read it for me, you know,
00:20:03skim it, tell me what it's about.
00:20:05What, you want like a book report kind of thing?
00:20:07Yeah, I'd owe you one.
00:20:08Try five.
00:20:09Personally, I can't stomach a guy's stuff.
00:20:12So what do you say?
00:20:13I don't know.
00:20:13Thanks, I appreciate it.
00:20:19Hello?
00:20:20Hi, David.
00:20:21How are you?
00:20:21Hey, Kathy.
00:20:23You know, I was just thinking about you.
00:20:35Thanks, he's so hot.
00:20:36You prize winner.
00:20:37Doesn't have time to read a book.
00:20:39He thinks he's such a hot shot.
00:20:41Don Johnson.
00:20:42You ever notice, like, the source for him is always a woman?
00:20:44Yeah, he uses it.
00:20:45The ways you only dream of.
00:20:48Ain't this true?
00:20:50Does it sound true?
00:20:52Sure.
00:20:53It is true.
00:20:56Gotta admit, though, I'm gonna miss Austin Blair.
00:20:59Really?
00:21:00You ever see him on the talk show?
00:21:02No, he was quick.
00:21:04The way he could rip these guys apart.
00:21:06It's always good for a laugh at someone else's expense.
00:21:29Excuse me.
00:21:36This scene runs the continuous narrative sequence in which there's an intermingling of gods, demigods, and mortals.
00:21:45We now pass from the reading of the ritual and the sacrifice to a complex Dionysiac group which occupies the
00:21:54center panel.
00:21:56In it, the god is reclining upon the lap of his consor Ariadne.
00:22:06Would you all excuse me for a minute?
00:22:12What are you doing here?
00:22:13I'm fascinated by Roman frescoes. Really. I come to this section of the museum once a week.
00:22:17This is intolerant.
00:22:18Lunch. That's all I ask. Let me buy you lunch.
00:22:24I find it refreshing that you work in the museum once a week.
00:22:27Can your father get you the job?
00:22:28My mother, actually.
00:22:31She's on the board.
00:22:33Seems the family's on the board of just about everything.
00:22:38I imagine you have access to our tax returns and phone records?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Maybe you can go looking through our garbage at night.
00:22:45No, no, no. I draw the line at garbage.
00:22:48I personally don't believe this all can be explained by just the facts.
00:22:52Maybe none of us want it explained.
00:22:55Maybe 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, why 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.
00:23:12Or your brother take his own life.
00:23:15Elliot read everything.
00:23:18Novels, history, philosophy.
00:23:21He had a brilliant mind, Mr. Leader.
00:23:26He was brilliant.
00:23:28And disturbed.
00:23:29Look, I'm still trying to understand.
00:23:33I think we should talk again, Miss Burgess.
00:23:36I don't think that's a good idea.
00:23:38I do.
00:23:39Otherwise, who knows what I'll write about your family.
00:23:43I have to come.
00:24:19Have you read this in the paper, what they're saying about Elliot, about that we did nothing
00:24:28to stop him, as if we could, as if we were responsible?
00:24:35I don't wish to discuss this further.
00:24:37Do not give them the satisfaction, dear.
00:24:52Okay, so I looked at Blair's book last night?
00:24:55Uh-huh.
00:24:55Okay, so it was slick but entertaining, Lifestyles of the Decadent, Rich and Famous, you know?
00:24:59And?
00:24:59This woman, Muriel, she's this Deb from this rich family.
00:25:02The family's very old money, very conservative, and she's the black sheep.
00:25:06She's always sleeping around and getting smashed and getting in the newspapers and embarrassing
00:25:10the family.
00:25:11Got 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.
00:25:19It was trashy, but I liked it.
00:25:20Somebody left this for you.
00:25:23Who?
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, and, you know, I read the book for
00:25:37you, and so next time, I'm not gonna help you out.
00:25:43Jerk.
00:25:47Jerk.
00:25:57Simon, little buddy.
00:25:58What do you want?
00:25:59Let's chill out, okay?
00:26:00I'm sorry.
00:26:00All 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.
00:26:10For you.
00:26:11You want to borrow a tape player from me?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Sorry, I don't have one.
00:26:17Okay.
00:26:18Tell the boss if he wants me.
00:26:19I'm working at home.
00:26:26Test.
00:26:27Testing.
00:26:27One, two, three.
00:26:30October 7th.
00:26:31I begin these tapes as a record of the conspiracy I begin to see revealed.
00:26:35I will record the facts.
00:26:37Let the facts speak for themselves.
00:26:40Let the facts speak for themselves.
00:27:02Elliot.
00:27:05Sorry.
00:27:06I, I, I'm...
00:27:08What is it, Elliot?
00:27:11It's all right.
00:27:12I'm letting the world know.
00:27:14I'm setting it down.
00:27:20What are you talking about?
00:27:21I'm reading Austin Blair's new book.
00:27:25Yes?
00:27:26He knows what's going on.
00:27:30October 8th.
00:27:31I finished Blair's book in a rush.
00:27:34I saw what his intention was.
00:27:37Blair has, in some way I've yet to determine, been spying on our lives.
00:27:41He has taken our existence and for his own sinister purposes turned us into grotesques.
00:27:48But this will not go unanswered.
00:27:57Perhaps you are unaware of what is happening.
00:28:00Are you speaking to me, Elliot?
00:28:02I'm talking to you and Mother.
00:28:04And of what are we unaware?
00:28:07The conspiracy to discredit this family.
00:28:10What conspiracy?
00:28:13What do you people do all day?
00:28:15Oh, my God, there's no need to be...
00:28:17I'm sorry.
00:28:17I just seem to be the only person taking this seriously.
00:28:20He's talking about Austin Blair.
00:28:23The writer?
00:28:24You're a lawyer.
00:28:25You should do something, legally.
00:28:26What are you talking about?
00:28:30In this piece he calls a fiction, he's written a portrait of us, of the family, in highly unflattering terms.
00:28:39I think we have a very solid legal case, and I think we should seek damages.
00:28:43I haven't read this book.
00:28:46Do you have a copy?
00:28:47I destroyed it.
00:28:48I burned it.
00:28:49Elliot, don't be so melodramatic.
00:28:51It's in my room.
00:28:52I'll get it.
00:28:52Please finish dinner.
00:28:53We'll deal with this after dinner.
00:28:57Yes.
00:28:58All right.
00:29:00Yes, yes, yes.
00:29:02Yes.
00:29:16I called the paper.
00:29:17They said you'd left.
00:29:19I wanted to work here.
00:29:21Did you even notice I wasn't here last night, David?
00:29:23Did you?
00:29:24Not really.
00:29:27We're all grown-ups here, aren't we?
00:29:29I'm a grown-up, David.
00:29:32Listen, I hope this important story you're working on is going well.
00:29:35It is.
00:29:37And you don't need my help?
00:29:39No.
00:29:43I know where this is going to go.
00:29:44You do?
00:29:45This story.
00:29:47You're not exactly sure where it's leading, and that's exciting.
00:29:51But I know it's about the girl, David.
00:29:53Your stories like this are always about the girl, and God, this one...
00:29:55Don't throw that at me.
00:29:57Why not?
00:29:58It'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?
00:30:08I'm not up for that.
00:30:09Fine.
00:30:09What's for dessert?
00:30:12Give me a day or two, and I'll have something good.
00:30:15How good?
00:30:15Is every other paper in town's moving the story to the back pages?
00:30:21I'm working on a source.
00:30:22I've got a lead.
00:30:23I've just got to play it out.
00:30:25Your hunch, huh?
00:30:26Now, don't get excited, but I'm working on something that could put us out in front of everybody.
00:30:30I love this guy.
00:30:32Why do I love this guy so much?
00:30:34Because I deliver.
00:30:44Lear!
00:30:45What have you been up to?
00:30:46Where's he been up?
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?
00:30:56When's this happening?
00:30:57Read something besides his sports page you work on, Ray.
00:31:00Really?
00:31:01Somebody shot him?
00:31:03Who's Austin Blair?

00:31:59hello
00:32:03so
00:33:16Who is it?
00:33:17Delivery from Simon at the New York Lowe.
00:33:26October 11th.
00:33:29I present evidence to Emma.
00:33:33I 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.
00:33:41It's my job to observe and, yes, use people, their lives, their 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, well, 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.
00:34:17Wouldn't you like to know what I know?
00:34:23I never read his books, Elliot.
00:34:26It doesn't matter.
00:34:28It doesn't matter?
00:34:29He...
00:34:30What's wrong with you that you don't even...
00:34:32We shouldn't argue about this.
00:34:34We never argue.
00:34:38Yes.
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.
00:35:00I tried to call Austin Blair.
00:35:02His number's unlisted, of course.
00:35:04So now I'm going to write him, stating my objections and asking for an apology.
00:35:09Perhaps he'll be a gentleman.
00:35:10We're smart.
00:35:26Do you have any books by Austin Blair?
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:29He's very popular.
00:35:29Over there is the novel.
00:35:31We have some signed copies left.
00:35:42Yes.
00:36:00Over there is the novel.
00:36:38October 13th.
00:36:40Getting no response from Blair, I take action.
00:36:43I 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
00:37:01important.
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.
00:37:10Do 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.
00:37:24I see her 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.
00:38:09I 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.
00:38:22It's an unofficial club policy.
00:38:24The Burgesses are members here at the club.
00:38:27Yes.
00:38:27No, 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 summer, so...
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.
00:38:47I interviewed her for the story.
00:38:50Oh, yes.
00:38:51Yes.
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.
00:39:03Yes, I'm sure there's a record of when they signed for meals, you know.
00:39:07Well, we sent him a yearly statement.
00:39:08If I could just take a look at...
00:39:10Well, 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.
00:39:24Sailboat?
00:39:25I...
00:39:27Oh, 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.
00:40:06Well, let's go.
00:40:29October 15th.
00:40:30I do not know whether Blair ever met my sister or not.
00:40:33It doesn't matter.
00:40:35He admitted to the public at large that it was his job, his profession,
00:40:38his art to turn life into fiction.
00:40:40But there is a cost.
00:40:42Austin Blair should know the cost of his fiction.
00:40:44And he will.
00:40:46I now believe that Blair is trying to fake a case against me
00:40:49or do me serious bodily harm.
00:40:51Or both.
00:40:55Last night about 10 o'clock, I was looking out my window
00:40:58when I noticed an attractive young woman
00:41:00standing at a second-story window across from me.
00:41:03This woman was 20 years old.
00:41:05She smiled over at me and a pointed man.
00:41:07And on catching sight of me, she lifted her hand and waved it.
00:41:11I could not decide if this was an involuntary motion of interest on seeing me
00:41:15or was meant as a sign of encouragement for me to start flirting with her.
00:41:18A man then came inside.
00:41:20It was Austin Blair.
00:41:22I think the woman was a relative of Blair's
00:41:24and the two of them were amusing themselves at my expense.
00:41:26I think the woman was a relative of the love of the love of the love of the love of
00:41:44the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love
00:41:44of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the
00:41:44love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of
00:41:44the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love
00:41:44of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the
00:41:44love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of
00:41:44the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love
00:41:44of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the
00:41:44love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of
00:41:47the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love of the love
00:41:55of
00:42:04The fact is stranger than fiction, they say.
00:42:08Is that what they say?
00:42:10She wants me to know.
00:42:11Know what?
00:42:13What was happening in the family.
00:42:15But these tapes, they only cover a week.
00:42:18Maybe not.
00:42:19Oh, there's more.
00:42:21She's doing it just how I want.
00:42:23Unless she's doing you.
00:42:32We need to go somewhere.
00:42:34I've read Austin Blair's novel.
00:42:36I liked it very much.
00:42:38Those 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.
00:42:45I'm doing that for you.
00:42:46I'm doing that for you.
00:43:02They are 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 work for the mayor.
00:43:22I 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?
00:43:53Blair's ignoring that my last letter is itself a confession of guilt.
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.
00:44:09Yes?
00:44:11I think maybe it would help if you talk with someone.
00:44:17I 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
00:44:28of this.
00:44:33I think it...
00:44:35Yeah.
00:44:39Maybe I'll lie.
00:44:52I haven't read this particular book.
00:44:55Then I wonder how qualified you are to continue this discussion.
00:44:59Well, I...
00:45:03I feel I'm qualified to talk to you about this, uh...
00:45:06Feeling that you're followed by agents of, uh...
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 in any detail?
00:45:39I mean, what it was exactly that made him feel...
00:45:43Well, you know, I finally read this novel of his, of Blair's, and I didn't understand what all the, uh...
00:45:50I 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.
00:45:58Elliot read to the point where fiction and fact blurred.
00:46:01I 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.
00:46:09Of course not.
00:46:11October 17th.
00:46:14Here are some thoughts I've written down.
00:46:15For titles.
00:46:17Poems or articles.
00:46:19Dreams in the dark.
00:46:22Love and pain.
00:46:23The 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.
00:46:34Show them to me when you do.
00:46:36Send them to you first.
00:46:39You'll send them.
00:46:41I'll show them to you.
00:46:43Did I say send them?
00:46:44Oh.
00:46:45That's funny.
00:46:51That doctor, the one that I said I've been going to?
00:46:53Uh-huh.
00:46:55I don't go there.
00:46:58You don't?
00:47:00No.
00:47:01I go to the movies.
00:47:04I go to the movies and then I come home.
00:47:06And 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'll play for you, though.
00:47:15You love me and I say you love me.
00:47:16Stop this.
00:47:41I'll play for you.
00:48:03October 30th.
00:48:08October 30th.
00:48:36They're spying on me.
00:48:39They're spying on me.
00:48:54Elliot.
00:48:57What are you doing on the floor?
00:49:00What?
00:49:01Were you sleeping on the floor?
00:49:03No. It was, I was exercising. It was concentration exercises, eastern mind expansion techniques.
00:49:11Oh, how interesting.
00:49:17I've never done this before. I appreciate your help.
00:49:22Oh, you'll need to fill out these applications for a license.
00:49:26They'll take about two weeks. Not in that much of a hurry.
00:49:30Don't wait for me till then.
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:55It's beautiful.
00:49:59It's just...
00:50:02It's been some time since...
00:50:04I'm sorry.
00:50:05Don't be sorry.
00:50:34November 2. Bliss is an effervescence. Joy a flood. Happiness is golden.
00:50:58November 11.
00:51:01Armed, I feel great power. I feel invincible. This is what the common criminal must feel. This lack of power
00:51:09transformed by the gun in the pocket. Does that make me a common criminal?
00:51:21I would like to talk to someone from the metropolitan section.
00:51:24I would like to talk to someone from the metropolitan section.
00:51:24Who are you?
00:51:26I have some information about... about a news story.
00:51:30What news story?
00:51:33Well, it hasn't actually happened yet.
00:51:36We're all pretty busy right now. Why don't you leave me your name and phone number. When this story actually
00:51:40happens, we'll get in touch with you.
00:51:42Well, thank you. Phone you later.
00:52:08Elliot, do you think that that doctor has been of any help?
00:52:12A great deal. He puts so much in perspective. You ought to, it costs enough.
00:52:17Since 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.
00:52:25If 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.
00:52:33I'm doing just fine. Thank you very much.
00:52:38Elliot stays in the house too much.
00:52:40You don't really.
00:52:42I hope you don't.
00:52:43I think the solution is read less fiction, more history.
00:52:48I was a history major before law school.
00:52:52A civil war.
00:52:55Now that's a fascinating subject.
00:53:02You have to look for the future.
00:53:06Yes.
00:53:07Maybe 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. Being an attorney doesn't appeal to me.
00:53:16Elliot, you have to do something.
00:53:18Maybe I'll run for office.
00:53:20Political office.
00:53:21That would be exciting.
00:53:22He's not serious.
00:53:24I 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.
00:53:51Can I help you?
00:53:52Oh, where's the dining room?
00:53:54Oh, 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, but if you know a member of the club, you could have a drink
00:54:01as a guest.
00:54:02I'm a reporter doing a story on Austin and Blair.
00:54:05Oh.
00:54:06I see.
00:54:07Well, I think perhaps it might.
00:54:08It's all right.
00:54:09He'll be my guest.
00:54:11Well, thank you.
00:54:12You're welcome.
00:54:13I'm Reggie Shaw.
00:54:14Let me get you a drink.
00:54:16God knows I need one.
00:54:18Well, it's dinnertime in London, so somebody must be toasting me.
00:54:22Austin.
00:54:28Look around you here.
00:54:30The average age of the members of this club is the same as room temperature.
00:54:35And 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.
00:54:45What about Blair?
00:54:46Well, he only married three or four times.
00:54:48And I could drink him under the table.
00:54:52No, he's a nice fellow.
00:54:54Actually, you know, I miss him a very great deal.
00:54:57He was so wonderfully nasty.
00:54:59But nasty in a very witty way.
00:55:02I miss that here.
00:55:03And you had lunch with him that afternoon?
00:55:05That afternoon he was shot.
00:55:06Yes, 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.
00:55:17How 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.
00:55:25Well, he's a public figure and someone disagrees with you.
00:55:29It does happen.
00:55:30Well, who knows?
00:55:30Someone may be stalking you right now.
00:55:32Well, me?
00:55:33Somebody 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.
00:55:48I don't suppose you have a price?
00:55:51Everybody's got a price.
00:55:53What's yours, young man?
00:55:56Good lunch at a fancy private club.
00:55:59With a charming old fart like me.
00:56:49What are you doing?
00:56:50I had a gun.
00:56:52You 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.
00:57:02That's good for me.
00:57:04Have a nice day.
00:57:12Why does somebody kill?
00:57:14To 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?
00:57:23We all fantasize about the ability to kill.
00:57:28It's normal.
00:57:29The actual realization is abnormal.
00:57:33But we, all of us, at some time, fantasize about killing somebody.
00:57:38For example, for example, for example, I 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, I'm a failure.
00:57:53The child in me wants to kill him.
00:57:57But do I?
00:57:58No.
00:57:59But the wish is there.
00:58:05You ever want to kill somebody?
00:58:07Sure.
00:58:09Sure, 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.
00:58:17Sure.
00:58:19Of course, somebody could feel that way about you.
00:58:28November 20th.
00:58:32I have decided to confront Blair.
00:58:40Are you lost in Blair?
00:58:43No.
00:58:44Sorry, I thought you might have been someone else.
00:58:50I received a phone call today at my office.
00:58:55I imagine you receive 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.
00:59:08The man's an idiot.
00:59:09He's a non-entity.
00:59:10I think that you should talk to this person.
00:59:14We are concerned about you.
00:59:16I'm really very capable.
00:59:18I will not be humiliated.
00:59:19I have a position.
00:59:20You will see this doctor tomorrow.
00:59:24That's understood.
00:59:29I go to another doctor so that they will feel this might deter me.
00:59:33It won't.
00:59:34You can fool them.
00:59:35They like to hear themselves talk, the doctors.
00:59:38You pay them to hear them talk.
00:59:39Then you talk.
00:59:40Then they talk.
00:59:41And then you go home.
00:59:43I'd like to recommend some medication.
00:59:45Perhaps 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.
01:00:00See you Thursday.
01:00:25I'm glad that you've seen this.
01:00:28Dr. Leonard.
01:00:29Yes, he's very good.
01:00:30He agrees we have a case, Father.
01:00:33He does.
01:00:37Why couldn't God have made things move as quick as light rather than as slow as planets?
01:01:00I wish I could have been introduced to Austin Blair some time ago.
01:01:05Things would have turned out so differently.
01:01:09I noticed something today, Father.
01:01:13I noticed on a legal pad in your office that you had written your name five times to form a
01:01:17star.
01:01:18And that once you had written your name in a circle.
01:01:21That doesn't mean anything.
01:01:22Ah, and also I noticed that you had a habit of writing your name on little slips of paper torn
01:01:27from book margins, fly leaves, and the backs of bills.
01:01:30It indicates to me a type of compulsive behavior that surprised me.
01:01:34Perhaps it would help you to talk to someone about this.
01:01:36The doctor has put him on medication.
01:01:39Please don't whisper about me.
01:01:41It's very rude.
01:01:41You're right.
01:01:42We're sorry.
01:01:44Emma, are you going out later?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:49I'm meeting a friend from school.
01:01:51Oh, you remember Ann Hodges.
01:01:53Oh, yes, of course.
01:01:55She's a cow.
01:01:56She's also rumored to be bisexual.
01:01:57A bisexual bovine.
01:01:58I cannot finish this food.
01:02:20Can 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 here.
01:02:32Do you know who you're talking to?
01:02:35Listen, get out of my face before I call the cops.
01:02:39You tell him Elliot Burgess was here.
01:02:41You tell him.
01:02:44Idiot.
01:03:03You shouldn't have this.
01:03:05Feel how heavy it is?
01:03:07It's much heavier than I imagined.
01:03:08The man in the store said it was one of the better models.
01:03:11It would do the job.
01:03:13Promise me you'll never use this.
01:03:17I should never have showed you.
01:03:20I've lost you, Emma.
01:03:22I've lost you to somebody else.
01:03:26Nothing matters if I've lost you.
01:03:47A man in the world who does just about as he pleases is liable to be a social outcast, a
01:03:51member of the top 400, or both.
01:03:55Perhaps the blue pinstripe, Elliot.
01:03:57I can do this myself, Mother.
01:03:59Of course.
01:04:00But it's very important, the picture you give to the world.
01:04:02I'm old enough to pick out my own clothes.
01:04:05You'd be lost without me.
01:04:07Don't patronize me, Mother.
01:04:09Please, don't.
01:04:11I look for Austin Blair.
01:04:13In the park.
01:04:14At his club.
01:04:15Outside his home.
01:04:17It's time.
01:04:30The world is beautiful.
01:04:31I carry the gun with me.
01:04:33Just in case.
01:04:55I'm going to talk to her.
01:04:58But she's...
01:04:59Trouble.
01:04:59This woman sounds like trouble.
01:05:01I know it's wrong, but I got to.
01:05:04What's so special about this one?
01:05:05If you saw her, you wouldn't ask.
01:05:08Really?
01:05:10Really.
01:05:11I'm going to see this out.
01:05:12If you were me, you would, too.
01:05:13I know you.
01:05:17The lawyer said I shouldn't be seeing you.
01:05:19Those tapes Elliot made, you 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, and you knew I'd use them.
01:05:27And I'll use them, but not how you meant for me to.
01:05:29Shall I go on?
01:05:32All right.
01:05:32At first, when I figured it was you who left me the tapes, I couldn't answer a big question.
01:05:37Why drop this stuff in my lap?
01:05:39I couldn't see it as some compulsion to have the world know the truth.
01:05:41Far from it.
01:05:42After all, you'd been acting all along like I was some sort of vampire, taking your family
01:05:46and your life and putting them in the papers.
01:05:48It's your job, Mr. Later.
01:05:49So I come back to why.
01:05:50Why the tapes, and why me?
01:05:53Because, to anyone listening to the tapes, they proved that Elliot was insane.
01:05:57That he was convinced that 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, what Elliot thought was true, was true.
01:06:09What exactly is that?
01:06:10That, in fact, Austin Blair was writing about you.
01:06:14That you told him everything he needed.
01:06:15That you slept with Blair.
01:06:18Elliot wasn't fantasizing.
01:06:19Not as much as you want people to believe.
01:06:21You did know him.
01:06:23I 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.
01:06:33You 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.
01:06:53I don't believe that.
01:06:54Look.
01:06:55You don't either.
01:06:56Why don't you get out of my life?
01:06:58I'm not in your life.
01:07:00It's not true.
01:07:02None of what you say is true.
01:07:06I...
01:07:07How can you live with yourself when you do this to people?
01:07:13Sometimes I can't.
01:07:33Ella, you should know I've directed the firm to continue libel proceedings against the paper.
01:07:39I don't think that's necessary.
01:07:41You don't?
01:07:43No.
01:07:44I'm taking care of this on my own.
01:07:46We don't need to involve the firm.
01:07:49I'll see it through and it'll be settled our way.
01:08:16I'll see it through and it'll be settled our way.
01:08:25I'm in my room.
01:08:28I've kept a record of what's happened on tape.
01:08:32I've put down the facts and my thoughts.
01:08:36I don't think that's...
01:08:37It's important that everything be documented.
01:08:40I'm leaving it for you.
01:08:50I don't want this, Elliot.
01:08:52Even if we were awarded a decision, it wouldn't be enough.
01:08:55Vengeance is at the heart of justice.
01:08:57I'm just completing something Blair started.
01:09:13You know, Scott, what's up?
01:09:23Have a nice day, sir.
01:09:39Yes.
01:09:40Here you go.
01:09:44Here I go.
01:10:11Yeah, it's Keneally there.
01:10:13Here I go.
01:10:48What are you doing here?
01:10:52You were standing out...
01:10:53No, I know I shouldn't have come here.
01:10:55I had to.
01:10:56I was afraid to call you.
01:11:04My family...
01:11:06They don't know.
01:11:08About 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.
01:11:17Look, 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?
01:11:36Tonight with you, I want to sleep with you.
01:11:44You wanted it too.
01:11:49Didn't you?
01:11:51Yes.
01:11:54I knew that.
01:11:57I knew that.
01:11:57Otherwise, I wouldn't have come.
01:11:59I knew you wanted me.
01:12:15How much did you think about this happening?
01:12:18Too much.
01:12:19You won't let me go until you do this.
01:12:22No.
01:12:35I'm sorry.
01:13:37I'm thinking about taking some time off.
01:13:39Time 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.
01:13:55What are you saying here, Dave?
01:13:57I'm saying 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?
01:14:12Is 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 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...
01:14:39We've been here before, Leader.
01:14:40We've reached this point.
01:14:43Is the story blue ribbon or is it a bust?
01:14:45You told me.
01:14:46You said, give me a few days.
01:14:47I 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.
01:15:04Um...
01:15:05The 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.
01:15:16We can beat it.
01:15:25We can beat it.
01:15:29We can beat it.
01:15:33We can beat it.
01:15:52I'm off the story.
01:16:05You are?
01:16:10I 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. I don't want...
01:16:23I'm thinking of you.
01:16:35Tell my father to drop the suit.
01:16:39Stop legal proceedings against the paper.
01:16:44He's not.
01:16:48If I refuse to testify, there is no case.
01:17:07You are.
01:17:16You are.
01:17:19You are.
01:17:47We can't do this again.
01:17:50I can't.
01:17:53Brenda, I don't trust you.
01:17:58It's the problem.
01:18:07What if I gave you something?
01:18:12What?
01:18:16Something valuable.
01:18:18What?
01:18:21What?
01:18:21What?
01:18:25What?
01:18:26What?
01:18:26What?
01:18:34What?
01:18:36What?
01:18:41What?
01:18:43What?
01:18:43What?
01:18:45What?
01:18:56What?
01:18:59What?
01:20:23Come back to bed, Elliot.
01:20:25Come back to bed.
01:20:56Let's go away.
01:20:58Be serious.
01:21:00I am serious.
01:21:01You told the paper you want time off?
01:21:04Spend it with me.
01:21:05I intend to.
01:21:07But we can't just disappear.
01:21:09How's it going to look?
01:21:11Do you care how things look?
01:21:13No.
01:21:14The story's over.
01:21:15I mean, you're finished with it, right?
01:21:17Right.
01:21:18And it ends with Elliot.
01:21:20Elliot was crazy, just what we said.
01:21:22Just like we said.
01:21:26So go away with me.
01:21:29I want to.
01:21:32All right.
01:21:34I'll make theory.
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, um, 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.
01:22:35Hi.
01:22:35We're on Northwest Flight 763.
01:22:38Meet me at JFK at 4 p.m.
01:22:40Everything is ready.
01:22:43I bet you don't have yours at Washington Shuttle Flight 419.
01:22:47There is a big change.
01:22:48Hello?
01:22:49I'm here to pick up some tickets, Flight 763.
01:22:51Your name?
01:22:52David Leader.
01:22:53And one should be under Burgess, Emma Burgess.
01:22:57Mr. Leader, we have your reservation,
01:23:00but 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.
01:23:13Look, I'm meeting someone here, and there's gotta be...
01:23:16Sorry.

01:24:47Well, I'm not quite finished.
01:24:50Yes, you can clear, Jean.
01:24:52We're done now.
01:24:53You can take it away.
