Man's voice:

A WEEK AGO, THE ONLY THING

I THOUGHT WAS

00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400

OUT OF THE ORDINARY WAS

THAT IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY.

Woman on radio:

* I'LL HAVE A BLUE... *



17

00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:30,167

HOW DO I LOOK?



18

00:04:30,167 --> 00:04:33,901

- THE TRUTH?

- I LOOK LIKE

A ROCK STAR, DON'T I?



19

00:04:33,901 --> 00:04:37,000

- YOU LOOK GREAT.

- HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,634

26

00:04:53,267 --> 00:04:55,434

DO YOU HATE ME?



27

00:04:55,434 --> 00:04:57,334

AS MUCH NOW

AS THE DAY I MET YOU.



28

00:04:57,334 --> 00:05:00,868

- YOU KNOW,

I MIGHT BE CONTAGIOUS.

- I COULD BE IMMUNE.



29

00:05:00,868 --> 00:05:04,033

- WHAT ABOUT THE PARTY?

- LIKE THEY'RE GONNA MISS ME.



30

00:05:04,033 --> 00:05:06,968

WHAT ABOUT THE CAKE?



31

00:05:06,968 --> 00:05:09,868

Man's voice:

I'D LIKE TWO WORDS

ON MY TOMBSTONE--



32

00:05:09,868 --> 00:05:11,968

"WHAT IF?"



33

00:05:11,968 --> 00:05:15,200

WHAT IF I HAD SAID

SCREW THE CAKE?



34

00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,834

SINGLE TONIGHT, WALTER?



35

00:05:16,834 --> 00:05:19,133

NOT ACTUALLY, NO.



36

00:05:19,133 --> 00:05:21,701

- OH, HEY!

- OH, COME ON.



37

00:05:21,701 --> 00:05:23,834

WHY DON'T YOU

WAG YOUR TAIL AT ME

IN THE BITCHES' ROOM?



38

00:05:23,834 --> 00:05:25,400

- SYBIL.

- ( laughing )



39

00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,334

Walter's voice:

WHAT IF I HAD BEEN

A BIT MORE...



40

00:05:27,334 --> 00:05:29,067

SYBIL, I WOULDN'T WAG

MY TAIL IN THE BATHROOM



41

00:05:29,067 --> 00:05:32,000

WITH YOU IF YOU WERE

THE LAST BITCH ON EARTH.



42

00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,300

...TACTFUL?



43

00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:38,000

Sybil:

Sparrow, I repeat.



44

00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,534

WE HAVE AN UNIDENTIFIED

SCAVENGER SIGHTING.



45

00:05:40,534 --> 00:05:42,234

IT'S ONE MINUTE

TO 5:00, SYBIL.



46

00:05:42,234 --> 00:05:45,367

THEN WE'RE AGREED

YOU'RE STILL ON DUTY.



47

00:05:45,367 --> 00:05:47,534

( speaking

foreign language )



48

00:05:47,534 --> 00:05:50,534

MM-HMM, YEAH, SURE.



49

00:05:51,667 --> 00:05:54,567

SOUNDS DELICIOUS.

CAN I GET IT TO GO?



50

00:05:56,868 --> 00:05:59,067

RIGHT.



51

00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:02,234

OKAY OKAY.

( sighs )



52

00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,167

( dog growling )



53

00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:09,167

( keys rattling )



54

00:06:12,067 --> 00:06:15,234

( Walter chuckles )

COME TO PAPA.



55

00:06:15,234 --> 00:06:16,934

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE

TO HEAR A STORY.



56

00:06:16,934 --> 00:06:19,367

- ( barks )

- HMM?



57

00:06:19,367 --> 00:06:22,567

YEAH, ONCE UPON A TIME



58

00:06:22,567 --> 00:06:24,701

THERE WAS A DOG



59

00:06:24,701 --> 00:06:26,434

WHO LIVED A LIFE

OF TERROR,



60

00:06:26,434 --> 00:06:29,534

FEARED NO ONE.



61

00:06:29,534 --> 00:06:33,067

BUT ALTHOUGH HIS TEETH

WERE SHARP



62

00:06:33,067 --> 00:06:36,334

AND HIS BELLY FULL,



63

00:06:36,334 --> 00:06:37,934

HIS HEART WAS EMPTY.



64

00:06:37,934 --> 00:06:41,000

HE DECIDED TO GO

ON A JOURNEY



65

00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,868

TO A LAND FAR FAR AWAY,



66

00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:48,400

WHERE HE CAME UPON

A WOODEN SHACK ONE DAY



67

00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,901

WITH A THIN OLD MAN

INSIDE.



68

00:06:51,901 --> 00:06:54,634

AND HE INVITED HIM IN.



69

00:06:54,634 --> 00:06:56,834

THE DOG...



70

00:06:56,834 --> 00:07:00,300

WAS OVERJOYED.



71

00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,234

AND THAT NIGHT



72

00:07:02,234 --> 00:07:05,467

WARM SMOKE BILLOWED

FROM THE CHIMNEY ABOVE,



73

00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:07,667

BUT, OH...



74

00:07:07,667 --> 00:07:10,667

WHAT AN ODD-SMELLING

SMOKE THIS WAS.



75

00:07:10,667 --> 00:07:13,901

YOU SEE,

THE LAND WAS CHINA.



76

00:07:15,067 --> 00:07:17,901

AND IN CHINA,



77

00:07:17,901 --> 00:07:20,968

- THEY EAT DOG.

- ( growling )



78

00:07:20,968 --> 00:07:23,067

- WHOA! OOH!

- ( barking )



79

00:07:24,767 --> 00:07:28,100

LET ME SEE WHO YOUR

IRRESPONSIBLE OWNER IS.



80

00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000

( grunting )

OH, GOD!



81

00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:48,267

DAMN IT!



82

00:07:51,267 --> 00:07:54,534

DIDN'T LIKE MY STORY,

HUH?



83

00:07:54,534 --> 00:07:58,267

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I CAN TAKE CRITICISM.



84

00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,334

( call bell rings )



85

00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:27,968

OH, GOD.



86

00:08:27,968 --> 00:08:29,968

OH, I DON'T BELIEVE

THIS SHIT.



87

00:08:34,167 --> 00:08:37,501

ALL RIGHT, BUDDY,

PICK A SPOT.



88

00:08:41,767 --> 00:08:44,901

NOW WHERE'D YOU GO?



89

00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:37,968

Walter's voice:

DESTINY--



90

00:09:37,968 --> 00:09:40,100

MAYBE THAT'S TOO BIG

A WORD FOR IT.



91

00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,834

IF I'D BEEN NICER TO SYBIL,

SHE NEVER WOULD HAVE SENT ME

AFTER THAT DOG.



92

00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:46,400

I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LATE

TO MEET AGATHA,



93

00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,067

AND NONE OF THIS

WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.



94

00:09:49,067 --> 00:09:50,934

BUT I WAS LATE.



95

00:09:50,934 --> 00:09:53,067

AND THAT'S ALL IT TOOK.



96

00:09:53,067 --> 00:09:54,501

OH!



97

00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,133

- TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

TRY NOT TO THROW UP.

- OH OH, GOD!



98

00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:02,167

"NASTY EVIL DOG"--



99

00:10:02,167 --> 00:10:04,534

THAT'S WHAT "NED"

STANDS FOR.



100

00:10:04,534 --> 00:10:06,801

IF I EVER SEE HIM AGAIN,

HE'S GONNA BE NED

WITH TWO D'S--



101

00:10:06,801 --> 00:10:08,467

"NASTY EVIL DEAD DOG."



102

00:10:08,467 --> 00:10:10,968

- ALL RIGHT, NOW TAKE

A DEEP BREATH.

- DEAD NED.



103

00:10:10,968 --> 00:10:13,267

- THAT'S WHAT HE'S GONNA BE.

- AND REMEMBER,



104

00:10:13,267 --> 00:10:15,234

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY,

OKAY?



105

00:10:15,234 --> 00:10:16,834

- YEAH, I'VE BEEN

THINKING ABOUT THAT.

- MMM-HMM.



106

00:10:16,834 --> 00:10:19,567

WHY IS IT WE GO

AND SEE YOUR FRIENDS

ON MY BIRTHDAY?



107

00:10:19,567 --> 00:10:21,133

UM...



108

00:10:21,133 --> 00:10:23,901

PROBABLY BECAUSE

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY.



109

00:10:23,901 --> 00:10:25,601

- ( laughing )

- OH.



110

00:10:25,601 --> 00:10:27,601

MAKES SENSE.



111

00:10:27,601 --> 00:10:30,334

SO I'M OLDER,

I'M DISFIGURED,



112

00:10:30,334 --> 00:10:32,334

AND I'M SPENDING

AN EVENING IN HELL.



113

00:10:32,334 --> 00:10:35,634

- NO.

- I SUPPOSE I'M BUYING

THAT FOR YOU TOO.



114

00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:37,634

WELL, ACTUALLY,

I'VE HAD A GOOD LONG TIME

TO FLIP THROUGH IT.



115

00:10:37,634 --> 00:10:39,267

WHY DON'T YOU

GIVE IT A TRY?



116

00:10:39,267 --> 00:10:43,167

HAVE SOME WRITER FILL

MY HEAD WITH NONSENSE?

I'LL WAIT FOR THE MOVIE.



117

00:10:43,167 --> 00:10:44,767

YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOU'RE MISSING.



118

00:10:44,767 --> 00:10:47,534

HMM, AND YET

LIFE GOES ON.



119

00:10:47,534 --> 00:10:49,734

"'THE NUMBER 23.'

121

00:10:52,701 --> 00:10:54,200

125

00:11:03,133 --> 00:11:06,100

GET OUT OF HERE.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?



126

00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,167

I'M BUYING THIS

127

00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:09,801

- WOULD YOU GET THE CAKE?

- YEAH.



128

00:11:09,801 --> 00:11:12,601

Walter's voice:

FEBRUARY 3rd, THAT MAKES

ME AQUARIUS.



129

00:11:12,601 --> 00:11:15,834

EXPERTS SAY FRIENDS

ARE VITALLY IMPORTANT.



130

00:11:15,834 --> 00:11:17,467

- NOTHING A KISS WON'T CURE.

- OH!



135

00:11:26,067 --> 00:11:29,234

Walter's voice:

I AM LIVING PROOF OF

THE FALLACY OF ASTROLOGY.



136

00:11:30,267 --> 00:11:32,901

HI. HOW'S YOUR ARM,

- OKAY, YOU'RE NEXT.

- THANK YOU.



144

00:12:03,167 --> 00:12:05,968

Walter's voice:

148

00:12:19,968 --> 00:12:22,434

I NEED A LOT

OF BIRTHDAY SEX.

00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,234

- YOU KNOW WHAT?

- WHAT?



150

00:12:29,234 --> 00:12:30,834

LET'S SIT OUT HERE

FOR A WHILE.



151

00:12:30,834 --> 00:12:33,167

OH-- OH, HONEY.



152

00:12:33,167 --> 00:12:36,033

- COME ON, IT'LL BE ROMANTIC.

- YEAH, BUT IT'S ALSO COLD.



153

00:12:36,033 --> 00:12:38,400

HERE, TAKE MY COAT.



154

00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,734

YOUR JACKET, TAKE IT.

I'LL CALL YOU.



155

00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,667

MOM, DAD. I THOUGHT

I HEARD VOICES.



156

00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:51,334

WELL, YOU KNOW,



157

00:12:51,334 --> 00:12:54,234

IF SOMEONE WAS IN BED

ASLEEP THE WAY THEY WERE

SUPPOSED TO BE,



158

00:12:54,234 --> 00:12:56,534

- THEY WOULDN'T

HEAR ANY VOICES.

- IN BED? OKAY.



159

00:12:56,534 --> 00:12:59,567

YOU'RE SUPPOSED

TO BE IN BED.



160

00:12:59,567 --> 00:13:02,734

OH, DAD. DAD, I, UH,

FORGOT TO GIVE YOU THIS.



161

00:13:02,734 --> 00:13:04,834

- HERE.

- OH, COOL.



162

00:13:04,834 --> 00:13:07,167

- YEAH,

I WRAPPED IT MYSELF.

- YEAH.



163

00:13:07,167 --> 00:13:10,701

I ACCEPT BRIBES ANY TIME

OF THE DAY OR NIGHT.



164

00:13:10,701 --> 00:13:12,567

BACK DOOR?



165

00:13:12,567 --> 00:13:14,400

SHE WENT DOWN THE ALLEY.



166

00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,234

WOW, THAT'S COOL.



167

00:13:16,234 --> 00:13:19,868

ROBIN,

SHE'S A NICE GIRL.



168

00:13:19,868 --> 00:13:21,868

MAKE SURE SHE STAYS

THAT WAY.



169

00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:24,167

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, DAD.



170

00:13:24,167 --> 00:13:26,534

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

- THANKS.



171

00:13:36,868 --> 00:13:40,300

Walter's voice:

"CHAPTER 1: YOU CAN

CALL ME FINGERLING.



172

00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:43,367

IT'S NOT MY REAL NAME.



173

00:13:43,367 --> 00:13:46,200

IT CAME FROM A BOOK

I READ AS A CHILD,



174

00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,801

'FINGERLING

AT THE ZOO.'



175

00:13:48,801 --> 00:13:51,100

PAPER FLAP LONG GONE,



176

00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:54,701

IT HAD A GREEN HARDBACK COVER

AND MOTTLED TEXTURE.



177

00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:58,200

IT WAS POSSIBLY

MY VERY FIRST BOOK.



178

00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,968

FUNNY,



179

00:13:59,968 --> 00:14:03,067

I CAN'T RECALL

WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.



180

00:14:03,067 --> 00:14:05,701

THE ONLY THING

I REMEMBER IS THE NAME--



181

00:14:05,701 --> 00:14:07,667

FINGERLING.



182

00:14:07,667 --> 00:14:10,234

I WISHED IT WAS MINE



183

00:14:10,234 --> 00:14:13,100

AND NOW IT IS."



184

00:14:25,601 --> 00:14:27,400

THIS IS YOUR FIRST BITE?



185

00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,400

FIRST ANIMAL ONE, YES.



186

00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,067

MY WIFE, SHE HAS

THESE GNAWING URGES



187

00:14:32,067 --> 00:14:34,067

IN HER SLEEP AND...



188

00:14:34,067 --> 00:14:36,834

TELL ME ABOUT THIS

CANINE NED.



189

00:14:36,834 --> 00:14:38,901

WHAT WOULD YOU DO

IF YOU CAME ACROSS

HIM AGAIN?



190

00:14:38,901 --> 00:14:42,234

IF I WAS IN MY TRUCK,

I'D ACCELERATE



191

00:14:42,234 --> 00:14:44,267

UNTIL I HEARD A THUD.



192

00:14:44,267 --> 00:14:46,400

( chuckles )



193

00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,567

I'M SORRY.

I'M JUST-- I'M JOKING.



194

00:14:48,567 --> 00:14:50,567

I JUST--

THIS IS JUST SILLY.



195

00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:53,968

MR. SPARROW,

ANIMAL-CONTROL

REGULATIONS STATE



196

00:14:53,968 --> 00:14:56,601

THAT ANY OFFICER SUFFERING

AT THE HANDS OF AN ANIMAL



197

00:14:56,601 --> 00:15:00,033

MUST UNDERGO PSYCHOLOGICAL

COUNSELING WITHIN SEVEN DAYS



198

00:15:00,033 --> 00:15:02,033

TO EVALUATE THEIR

STATE OF MIND.



199

00:15:02,033 --> 00:15:04,200

I GAVE HIM MY ARM

ON A PLATTER.



200

00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,200

CAN'T BLAME A CREATURE

OF LOWER INTELLIGENCE FOR THAT.



201

00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,367

I MADE A MISTAKE, OKAY?

WRITE THAT DOWN.

I MADE A MISTAKE.



202

00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:13,300

IT'S MY FAULT--

LIKE WHEN I TOLD MY WIFE



203

00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:15,067

SHE COULD CHOOSE THE COLOR



204

00:15:15,067 --> 00:15:17,300

FOR THE LIVING ROOM WALLS,

YOU KNOW?



205

00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:20,000

NOT THAT WOMEN ARE OF

LOWER INTELLIGENCE, JUST...



206

00:15:23,634 --> 00:15:25,767

HAVE A GOOD DAY,

MR. SPARROW.



207

00:15:25,767 --> 00:15:27,033

( laughing )

NO, I'M JUS--



208

00:15:27,033 --> 00:15:29,968

NO, AGATHA IS THE MOST

INTELLIGENT PERSON I KNOW.



209

00:15:31,267 --> 00:15:33,267

WHAT SHE SEES IN ME,

I'M NOT SURE.



210

00:15:33,267 --> 00:15:35,000

LOOK...



211

00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,167

I LOVE MY JOB,

AND I'M GOOD AT IT.



212

00:15:37,167 --> 00:15:39,000

NED GOT AWAY.



213

00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,601

WELL, YEAH, BUT...



214

00:15:41,601 --> 00:15:44,133

DON'T WORRY.

APART FROM A FLAWED

SENSE OF HUMOR,



215

00:15:44,133 --> 00:15:46,367

I'M GIVING YOU

A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.



216

00:15:46,367 --> 00:15:48,067

YOU'RE NOT A DANGER

TO ANYONE.



217

00:15:48,067 --> 00:15:50,968

THAT'S WHY YOU CAN GO

AND HAVE THE WHOLE DAY OFF.



218

00:15:52,133 --> 00:15:54,934

REALLY?



219

00:15:54,934 --> 00:15:56,934

I'LL TAKE IT.



220

00:15:56,934 --> 00:15:58,634

- MR. SPARROW.

- YEAH.



221

00:15:58,634 --> 00:16:01,300

WHAT COLOR DID YOUR WIFE

CHOOSE FOR THE WALLS?



222

00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:03,400

RED, BLOOD RED.



223

00:16:10,267 --> 00:16:12,267

Walter's voice:

"CHAPTER 2:



224

00:16:15,434 --> 00:16:18,667

IMAGINE ME, IF YOU MUST,



225

00:16:18,667 --> 00:16:20,667

AS SOMEONE YOU ONCE KNEW.



226

00:16:22,467 --> 00:16:26,300

SOMEONE PERHAPS

YOU LIKED.



227

00:16:26,300 --> 00:16:29,033

OR BETTER YET,



228

00:16:29,033 --> 00:16:32,334

IMAGINE ME AS YOU.



229

00:16:32,334 --> 00:16:34,968

AS A KID,

I WAS TOP OF MY CLASS,



230

00:16:34,968 --> 00:16:37,400

NOT BECAUSE I LIKED STUDYING,

BUT BECAUSE I REALIZED



231

00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,167

THAT AN EDUCATION WAS

MY BEST SHOT AT GETTING OUT.



232

00:16:40,167 --> 00:16:43,400

SEE, THE STORK DROPPED ME

IN A SMALL DUSTBOWL OF A TOWN.



233

00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,400

THERE WASN'T ANYTHING

WRONG WITH IT.



234

00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,400

AS FAR AS

BORING TOWNS GO,



235

00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,634

I'M SURE IT RANKED

ABOVE AVERAGE.



236

00:16:50,634 --> 00:16:53,501

I HAD FRIENDS, BUT...



237

00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,367

I ALWAYS FELT ALONE.



238

00:16:59,934 --> 00:17:02,167

NO ONE EVER LEFT,



239

00:17:02,167 --> 00:17:04,167

BUT I WASN'T GONNA

DIE HERE.



240

00:17:04,167 --> 00:17:05,901

AS MUCH AS I LOVED HIM,



241

00:17:05,901 --> 00:17:09,100

I DIDN'T WANT

TO BE ANYTHING LIKE MY DAD.



242

00:17:09,100 --> 00:17:13,033

HE SEEMED SO DISTANT

AND SAD.



243

00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:15,834

NUMBERS WERE HIS LIFE.

HE WAS AN ACCOUNTANT.



244

00:17:15,834 --> 00:17:19,200

AND I GUESS HE HAD

EXPECTED ME TO TAKE OVER

THE BUSINESS HE HAD BUILT,



245

00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,267

BUT I HAD OTHER PLANS.



246

00:17:21,267 --> 00:17:23,300

MY MOM WAS TICKLED PINK

ON MY EIGHTH BIRTHDAY



247

00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:26,501

WHEN I ANNOUNCED

I WANTED TO BE A DETECTIVE.



248

00:17:26,501 --> 00:17:28,434

CAN'T SAY THE SAME

FOR MY FATHER.



249

00:17:28,434 --> 00:17:31,400

IT REALLY PUT THE KIBOSH

ON HIS MASTER PLAN



250

00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,100

AND IT FUELED HIS HATRED

FOR THE WIDOW DOBKINS.



251

00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,100

SHE LIVED NEXT DOOR.



252

00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:38,400

- IT SOUNDS ODD,

BUT HER DOG ALFIE...

- ( dog barking )



253

00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,534

IS THE REASON

I BECAME A DETECTIVE.



254

00:17:40,534 --> 00:17:43,167

THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER

ON THE OTHER SIDE,



255

00:17:43,167 --> 00:17:45,234

AT LEAST ACCORDING

TO ALFIE.



256

00:17:45,234 --> 00:17:47,400

THAT'S WHY HE WAS ALWAYS

IN OUR YARD,



257

00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,767

AND IT WAS MY JOB

TO CATCH HIM.



258

00:17:51,634 --> 00:17:55,234

BUT I NEVER CROSSED THE FENCE

INTO THE WIDOW DOBKINS' YARD.



259

00:17:55,234 --> 00:17:57,467

THAT WAS

MY FATHER'S RULE.



260

00:17:57,467 --> 00:17:59,701

ON MY EIGHTH BIRTHDAY,



261

00:17:59,701 --> 00:18:01,701

I BROKE THE RULE.



262

00:18:06,701 --> 00:18:09,434

NOW I MUST ADMIT

THAT MY LONELINESS

AND OBSESSION



263

00:18:09,434 --> 00:18:12,934

WITH DETECTIVE STORIES

HAD FUELED FANTASIES.



264

00:18:12,934 --> 00:18:15,634

SO I'M NOT SURE

OF ALL THE DETAILS,



265

00:18:15,634 --> 00:18:17,801

EXCEPT ONE.



266

00:18:19,801 --> 00:18:21,801

THE WIDOW DOBKINS

WAS DEAD.



267

00:18:29,501 --> 00:18:32,467

IT WAS A WHOLE HOUR

BEFORE THE DOCTOR ARRIVED,



268

00:18:32,467 --> 00:18:34,267

AND IN THAT

UNCERTAIN HOUR



269

00:18:34,267 --> 00:18:36,667

MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD MIND

RACED.



270

00:18:36,667 --> 00:18:39,033

I DECIDED THAT

THE WIDOW DOBKINS

WAS KILLED



271

00:18:39,033 --> 00:18:41,501

BY A MAN

WITH A DERANGED MIND,



272

00:18:41,501 --> 00:18:44,534

A MIND SUCH AS OUR TOWN

HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.



273

00:18:44,534 --> 00:18:47,701

NO ONE WOULD BE SAFE

FROM HIM, NOT EVEN

HIS LOVED ONES.



274

00:18:47,701 --> 00:18:49,834

ESPECIALLY HIS LOVED ONES.



275

00:18:49,834 --> 00:18:52,167

OF COURSE, A DOCTOR

LATER CONCLUDED THAT

IT WAS SUICIDE,



276

00:18:52,167 --> 00:18:54,767

BUT I NEVER BELIEVED IT.



277

00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:58,467

BY THEN,

MY MIND HAD BEEN OPENED

TO A WHOLE NEW EXISTENCE.



278

00:18:58,467 --> 00:19:01,701

FROM THIS,

A DETECTIVE WAS BORN--



279

00:19:01,701 --> 00:19:03,834

DETECTIVE FINGERLING."



280

00:19:08,767 --> 00:19:10,767

THIS HAS PROMISE TOO.



281

00:19:12,067 --> 00:19:14,868

HEY, THERE YOU ARE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?



282

00:19:14,868 --> 00:19:17,300

I'LL CLEAN

THIS UP LATER.



283

00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:19,200

FILLING YOUR HEAD

WITH NONSENSE, ARE YOU?



284

00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,067

- DID YOU READ THIS?

- MOST OF IT.



285

00:19:22,067 --> 00:19:25,367

- IT'S VERY CREATIVE.

- THIS FINGERLING GUY.



286

00:19:25,367 --> 00:19:27,033

YEAH, IT'S A COOL NAME.



287

00:19:27,033 --> 00:19:29,334

YEAH, WHAT DID

YOU MAKE OF HIM?



288

00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:31,734

I LOVED HIM AT THE--

WELL, AT THE BEGINNING

I DID.



289

00:19:31,734 --> 00:19:33,667

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

AT THE BEGINNING?



290

00:19:33,667 --> 00:19:36,534

WELL, HE--

HOW FAR HAVE YOU GOTTEN?



291

00:19:36,534 --> 00:19:38,534

- OH, TWO CHAPTERS.

- OH.



292

00:19:38,534 --> 00:19:41,267

HONEY, WILL YOU MOVE

THIS LADDER FOR ME,

JUST RIGHT OVER HERE?



293

00:19:41,267 --> 00:19:44,801

YOU KNOW, HONEY,

THIS FINGERLING GUY

REMINDS ME OF MY LIFE.



294

00:19:44,801 --> 00:19:46,968

IT'S SO WEIRD.



295

00:19:46,968 --> 00:19:50,968

LIKE, IT'S LIKE

MY CHILDHOOD, MY MEMORIES,

YOU KNOW?



296

00:19:50,968 --> 00:19:52,968

WILL YOU HAND ME

THAT BLUE PAINT?



297

00:19:54,667 --> 00:19:57,734

- HERE.

- FINGERLING'S NOTHING

LIKE YOU.



298

00:19:57,734 --> 00:20:01,067

OH, YEAH,

LOOK AT THAT?



299

00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:04,400

"FINGERLING AT THE ZOO."

MY MOTHER READ IT TO ME

WHEN I WAS A KID.



300

00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,434

I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE

READ THAT AS A KID.



301

00:20:06,434 --> 00:20:08,734

- DID YOU?

- NO.



302

00:20:08,734 --> 00:20:11,534

- HA-AA!

- BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

EVERY TIME I READ A BOOK,



303

00:20:11,534 --> 00:20:15,501

IT'S LIKE, THE AUTHOR

STOLE A PART OF ME THAT

I THOUGHT ONLY I KNEW.



304

00:20:15,501 --> 00:20:18,334

SOMEDAY I'M GONNA WRITE

A BOOK AND I'LL DO IT

TO SOMEBODY ELSE.



305

00:20:18,334 --> 00:20:21,100

I DON'T KNOW, HON.

IT'S-- IT'S JUST REALLY



306

00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:23,567

- KIND OF STRANGE.

- YOU KNOW WHAT?



307

00:20:23,567 --> 00:20:26,968

THERE'S A LOT

OF NEIGHBORHOODS WITH

HOUSES JUST LIKE YOURS,



308

00:20:26,968 --> 00:20:28,934

WITH STREETS

JUST LIKE YOURS.



309

00:20:28,934 --> 00:20:30,801

YEAH?

WITH DOGS NEXT DOOR?



310

00:20:30,801 --> 00:20:33,367

OH, YOUR NEIGHBOR HAD A DOG.

WELL, THAT'S SHOCKING.



311

00:20:33,367 --> 00:20:36,400

( scoffs )

IT WASN'T CALLED ALFIE.

IT WAS CALLED CHIEF.



312

00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,400

"MIS-CHIEF"

MY FATHER CALLED IT.



313

00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,934

HE USED TO ESCAPE ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S WHY I BECAME AN A.C.O.



314

00:20:41,934 --> 00:20:43,434

FINGERLING'S A DETECTIVE.



315

00:20:43,434 --> 00:20:46,334

I USED TO COLLECT

DETECTIVE MAGAZINES.



316

00:20:46,334 --> 00:20:49,267

AND THE WIDOW NEXT DOOR,

MRS. DOBKINS,



317

00:20:49,267 --> 00:20:51,567

WELL, THAT'S LIKE

MY MOM.



318

00:20:53,133 --> 00:20:55,868

SHE DIED

ON MY EIGHTH BIRTHDAY.



319

00:20:55,868 --> 00:20:58,534

LOOK, I GOT

FREAKIN' GOOSE BUMPS.



320

00:20:58,534 --> 00:21:01,300

HONEY, KEEP READING,

OKAY?



321

00:21:01,300 --> 00:21:04,601

SOON YOU WILL DISCOVER

THAT FINGERLING IS

NOTHING LIKE YOU.



322

00:21:04,601 --> 00:21:06,234

SOMEBODY WROTE A BOOK

ABOUT DAD?



323

00:21:06,234 --> 00:21:09,100

- NO.

- YES. YES.



324

00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:12,234

- HOW'S SCHOOL?

- HORRIBLE.



325

00:21:12,234 --> 00:21:14,734

AM I IN IT?



326

00:21:14,734 --> 00:21:16,734

I MEAN, IF THE BOOK'S

ABOUT DAD,



327

00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:18,601

THEN I SHOULD HAVE, LIKE,

A STARRING ROLE OR SOMETHING.



328

00:21:18,601 --> 00:21:20,601

YES, YOU SHOULD,

AND YET YOU DON'T.



329

00:21:20,601 --> 00:21:23,267

NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK

THAT MEANS?



330

00:21:23,267 --> 00:21:25,868

- HMM, JEEZ.

- WHO'S THAT?



331

00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:28,501

- Walter: FABRIZIA.

- Robin: FABRIZIA?



332

00:21:28,501 --> 00:21:30,400

UH-HUH.



333

00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,834

( rock music playing )



334

00:21:38,067 --> 00:21:40,100

* GOT A BIG PLAN,

THIS MINDSET *



335

00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:43,267

* MAYBE IT'S RIGHT

AT THE RIGHT PLACE

AND RIGHT TIME *



336

00:21:43,267 --> 00:21:45,200

* MAYBE TONIGHT

AND THE WHISPER *



337

00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,501

* OR HANDSHAKE

SENDING A SIGN *



338

00:21:47,501 --> 00:21:49,467

* WANNA MAKE OUT

AND KISS HARD? *



339

00:21:49,467 --> 00:21:50,667

* WAIT, NEVER MIND *



340

00:21:50,667 --> 00:21:52,834

* LATE NIGHT AND PASSING *



341

00:21:52,834 --> 00:21:54,868

* MENTION IT FLIPPED

HER BEST FRIEND *



342

00:21:54,868 --> 00:21:56,701

* WHO KNOWS SAYING

MAYBE IT SLIPPED *



343

00:21:56,701 --> 00:21:59,200

* BUT THE SLIP TURNS TO TERROR

AND A CRUSH TO LIGHT *



344

00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,767

* THEN SHE WALKED IN,

HE THROWS UP *



345

00:22:01,767 --> 00:22:04,767

- * BELIEVE IT'S THE FRIGHT,

IT'S CUTE IN A WAY... *

- ( camera clicking )



346

00:22:04,767 --> 00:22:08,033

* TILL YOU CANNOT SPEAK

AND YOU LEAVE TO HAVE

A CIGARETTE *



347

00:22:08,033 --> 00:22:11,033

* YOUR KNEES GET WEAK,

ESCAPE WAS JUST A NOD *



348

00:22:11,033 --> 00:22:14,000

* AND A CASUAL WAVE,

OBSESSED ABOUT IT *



349

00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,934

* HEAVY FOR THE NEXT

TWO DAYS *



350

00:22:15,934 --> 00:22:19,234

* IT'S ONLY JUST A CRUSH

IT'LL GO AWAY *



351

00:22:19,234 --> 00:22:22,133

* IT'S JUST LIKE ALL

THE OTHERS, IT'LL GO AWAY *



352

00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:25,300

* OR MAYBE THIS IS DANGER

AND YOU JUST DON'T KNOW *



353

00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:28,834

* YOU PRAY IT ALL AWAY

BUT IT CONTINUES TO GROW *



354

00:22:28,834 --> 00:22:32,868

* I WANT TO HOLD YOU CLOSE *



355

00:22:32,868 --> 00:22:35,200

* SKIN PRESSED

AGAINST ME TIGHT *



356

00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,601

* LIE STILL,

CLOSE YOUR EYES, GIRL *



357

00:22:37,601 --> 00:22:39,734

* SO LOVELY

IT FEELS SO RIGHT. *



358

00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:49,567

( thunder rumbles )



359

00:22:53,467 --> 00:22:55,601

( sighs )



360

00:23:38,467 --> 00:23:40,300

( Walter sighs )



361

00:23:50,701 --> 00:23:53,067

Walter's voice:

"CHAPTER 5:



362

00:23:53,067 --> 00:23:55,300

I MEET

THE SUICIDE BLONDE."



363

00:24:29,434 --> 00:24:31,667

I GOT A TIP FROM YOUR

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.



364

00:24:31,667 --> 00:24:33,868

I KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE UP TO.



365

00:24:33,868 --> 00:24:37,067

THIS BEFRIEND-ME CRAP,

IT WON'T WORK.



366

00:24:37,067 --> 00:24:39,067

COME ANY CLOSER

AND I'LL DO IT.



367

00:24:41,934 --> 00:24:43,868

WELL, I HOPE YOU DON'T.



368

00:24:43,868 --> 00:24:45,901

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY.



369

00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:48,367

YOU END UP HANGING

YOURSELF, IT'LL BE

THE WORST ONE EVER.



370

00:24:48,367 --> 00:24:51,133

YOU'RE PATHETIC.



371

00:24:52,901 --> 00:24:56,367

- I'M SERIOUS.

I'LL DO IT.

- HANGING--



372

00:24:56,367 --> 00:24:58,434

IT'S A PAINFUL THING.



373

00:24:58,434 --> 00:25:00,601

MOST PEOPLE GET

THE NOOSE WRONG,



374

00:25:00,601 --> 00:25:03,100

END UP WALKING AROUND

WITH A PERMANENT NECKLACE...



375

00:25:05,634 --> 00:25:08,868

AGONIZING REMINDER

OF HOW FUCKING PITIFUL

THEY ARE.



376

00:25:10,734 --> 00:25:12,734

COME ON, LET'S TALK.



377

00:25:14,267 --> 00:25:17,033

IF YOU'RE STILL BUMMED,

I'LL PUT ONE RIGHT

BETWEEN YOUR EYES.



378

00:25:20,534 --> 00:25:22,434

I'M A GOOD SHOT.



379

00:25:27,133 --> 00:25:28,901

IS IT REALLY

YOUR BIRTHDAY?



380

00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,334

Walter's voice:

"THE SUICIDE BLONDE TELLS

ME SHE WAS A GOOD PERSON ONCE,



381

00:25:43,334 --> 00:25:44,834

BUT NOW..."



382

00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:47,200

I'M A BAD PERSON.



383

00:25:48,534 --> 00:25:51,200

I DON'T WANNA

MAKE YOU BAD.



384

00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,601

YOU DON'T HAVE

THAT POWER.



385

00:25:55,133 --> 00:25:57,868

GO SEE MY EX-BOYFRIEND.

HE'LL SHOW YOU.



386

00:25:57,868 --> 00:25:59,968

Walter's voice:

"I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN

OUT OF THERE



387

00:25:59,968 --> 00:26:03,934

RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT,

BUT THEN SHE SAID..."



388

00:26:03,934 --> 00:26:05,767

IT'S THIS NUMBER!



389

00:26:05,767 --> 00:26:09,067

THIS FUCKING

NUMBER-- 23.



390

00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:10,801

IT RULES MY WORLD.



391

00:26:10,801 --> 00:26:12,801

IT'S MY FATHER'S FAULT.



392

00:26:12,801 --> 00:26:15,334

HE SAID HE'D FOUND

A WAY TO BEAT THE NUMBER,



393

00:26:15,334 --> 00:26:18,067

THAT HE'D BEAT IT,

THAT I WAS SAFE.



394

00:26:19,667 --> 00:26:22,801

HE SAID, "DADDY LOVES YOU.

AND HE'S GONNA DO SOMETHING...



395

00:26:22,801 --> 00:26:25,734

Both:

...TO GUARANTEE THAT YOU

WON'T INHERIT THE CURSE."



396

00:26:29,334 --> 00:26:31,133

( gunshot )



397

00:26:31,133 --> 00:26:33,734

HE WAS WRONG.



398

00:26:33,734 --> 00:26:36,334

HIS GUARANTEE WASN'T

WORTH THE BLOOD IT

WAS WRITTEN IN.



399

00:26:41,801 --> 00:26:44,601

I GUESS DADDY

DIDN'T LOVE ME ENOUGH.



400

00:26:47,567 --> 00:26:50,267

IT'S EVERYWHERE--

DATES, TIMES,



401

00:26:50,267 --> 00:26:53,100

LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS,

PAGES OF BOOKS,



402

00:26:53,100 --> 00:26:54,767

EVEN ELEVATOR

FLOOR LIGHTS.



403

00:26:54,767 --> 00:26:58,234

SOON I FOUND IT WAS

IN MY NAME. IT WAS IN

THE WORDS I SPOKE.



404

00:26:58,234 --> 00:27:01,467

NOTHING, NOTHING

IS SAFE.



405

00:27:01,467 --> 00:27:04,234

PINK IS MY FAVORITE COLOR.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT PINK IS?



406

00:27:08,267 --> 00:27:10,300

RED 27, WHITE 65.



407

00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:12,901

65 PLUS 27-- 92.

PINK HAS FOUR LETTERS.



408

00:27:12,901 --> 00:27:15,467

92 DIVIDED BY FOUR.



409

00:27:15,467 --> 00:27:17,467

TWENTY-FUCKING-THREE!



410

00:27:18,901 --> 00:27:20,734

Walter's voice:

"I'LL BE HONEST--



411

00:27:20,734 --> 00:27:22,767

I DIDN'T GET IT.



412

00:27:22,767 --> 00:27:25,334

I ASKED HER

THE ONLY QUESTION

I COULD MUSTER."



413

00:27:25,334 --> 00:27:27,434

ANY MORE COFFEE?



414

00:27:27,434 --> 00:27:30,434

Walter's voice:

"IT WAS IMPORTANT TO KEEP

HER TALKING,



415

00:27:30,434 --> 00:27:33,501

SO I TELL HER A STORY."



416

00:27:33,501 --> 00:27:38,367

Fingerling:

I HAD THIS UNCLE,

HIS NAME WAS CHARLIE.



417

00:27:38,367 --> 00:27:40,868

AND, UH, ONE DAY,

HE READ IN HIS STARS



418

00:27:40,868 --> 00:27:42,868

THAT HE WAS

GONNA FALL IN LOVE



419

00:27:42,868 --> 00:27:45,033

WITH A WOMAN IN RED.



420

00:27:45,033 --> 00:27:47,901

SO HE WENT OUT

LOOKING ALL DAY LONG



421

00:27:47,901 --> 00:27:49,968

AND HE FOUND ONE.



422

00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:51,968

SIX MONTHS LATER,

THEY WERE MARRIED.



423

00:27:51,968 --> 00:27:53,200

YOU'RE LYING.



424

00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,367

TWO YEARS LATER,

THE WOMAN IN RED

DIVORCES MY UNCLE,



425

00:28:00,367 --> 00:28:02,234

TAKES HIM FOR

EVERYTHING HE'S GOT.



426

00:28:04,334 --> 00:28:07,167

HE'S OUT THERE

RIGHT NOW



427

00:28:07,167 --> 00:28:09,267

AT THIS VERY MOMENT...



428

00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,400

STILL LOOKING

FOR THE WOMAN IN RED.



429

00:28:16,033 --> 00:28:17,868

FIGURES HE JUST GOT

THE WRONG ONE.



430

00:28:19,334 --> 00:28:22,033

AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE

ME FEEL BETTER HOW?



431

00:28:22,033 --> 00:28:24,767

YOU LOOK SMARTER

THAN MY UNCLE CHARLIE.



432

00:28:25,767 --> 00:28:27,934

( chuckles )



433

00:28:27,934 --> 00:28:30,968

Walter's voice:

"SHE HAS A FACE MEANT

TO SMILE.



434

00:28:30,968 --> 00:28:32,834

AND AS I EXIT THE BUILDING,



435

00:28:32,834 --> 00:28:34,767

I FIGURE IT'S ANOTHER JOB

WELL DONE.



436

00:29:01,801 --> 00:29:04,200

THE NEXT DAY I TRACED

THE EX-BOYFRIEND



437

00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,834

SUICIDE BLONDE

MENTIONED.



438

00:29:06,834 --> 00:29:08,834

BURNING COFFEE GROUNDS

IS AN OLD TRICK



439

00:29:08,834 --> 00:29:12,601

COPS USE TO TAKE AWAY

THE SMELL OF DEATH

AT A CRIME SCENE.



440

00:29:12,601 --> 00:29:15,601

BUT SOMEBODY HAD USED

ALL THE COFFEE.



441

00:29:29,767 --> 00:29:33,067

WHEN I TELL FABRIZIA

ABOUT THE SUICIDE BLONDE,



442

00:29:33,067 --> 00:29:36,334

SHE BEGS ME TO TAKE HER

TO THE APARTMENT.



443

00:29:36,334 --> 00:29:39,033

HER REACTION

IS PURE FABRIZIA.



444

00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,000

DEATH AND SEX--



445

00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000

WHAT A TURN-ON.



446

00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,267

AS THE PAGES FELL

FROM THE WALLS,



447

00:29:47,267 --> 00:29:51,467

THE SCOPE

OF THE SUICIDE BLONDE'S

OBSESSION BECAME CLEAR.



448

00:29:51,467 --> 00:29:54,901

SHE HAD REDUCED

EVERYTHING TO 23."



449

00:29:54,901 --> 00:29:58,000

Suicide Blonde's voice:

IT'S EVERYWHERE--

DATES, TIMES,



450

00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,901

LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS,

PAGES OF BOOKS,



451

00:29:59,901 --> 00:30:02,834

EVEN ELEVATOR FLOOR LIGHTS.

SOON I FOUND IT WAS

IN MY NAME.



452

00:30:02,834 --> 00:30:04,701

IT WAS

IN THE WORDS I SPOKE.



453

00:30:04,701 --> 00:30:07,300

IT WAS IN MY NAME.

IT WAS IN MY NAME.



454

00:30:07,300 --> 00:30:09,334

IT WAS IN THE WORDS

I SPOKE.



455

00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:13,634

Walter's voice:

"WHEN I FOUND OUT WHAT

HER NAME WAS,



456

00:30:13,634 --> 00:30:16,100

THAT ADDED UP TOO.



457

00:30:16,100 --> 00:30:18,400

MAYBE IT WAS

JUST A COINCIDENCE.



458

00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,067

I MEAN, A NAME IS

JUST A NAME.



459

00:30:22,067 --> 00:30:25,000

AND A NUMBER IS

JUST A NUMBER.



460

00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,667

ISN'T IT?"



461

00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,000

IT'S SELF-PRINTED,



462

00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,267

SELF-PUBLISHED,



463

00:30:50,267 --> 00:30:52,701

AND IT'S BY AN AUTHOR

I NEVER HEARD OF.



464

00:30:52,701 --> 00:30:55,701

( typing )



465

00:30:59,033 --> 00:31:01,434

LOOKS LIKE OLD TOPSY HERE

HASN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING



466

00:31:01,434 --> 00:31:03,501

BEFORE OR AFTER SINCE.



467

00:31:03,501 --> 00:31:05,501

( inhales )



468

00:31:10,667 --> 00:31:12,834

Agatha:

WALTER, WHAT ARE

YOU DOING?



469

00:31:12,834 --> 00:31:15,601

CHECK THIS OUT.



470

00:31:15,601 --> 00:31:17,601

WALTER SPARROW

DOESN'T WORK.



471

00:31:17,601 --> 00:31:20,534

BUT IF I USE

MY MIDDLE NAME...



472

00:31:20,534 --> 00:31:23,133

- WALTER.

- 5-1-1-9-7.



473

00:31:23,133 --> 00:31:25,133

- ISN'T THAT AMAZING?

- WHAT?



474

00:31:26,367 --> 00:31:29,033

IT'S ALL 23.

MY BIRTHDAY-- 2/3,



475

00:31:29,033 --> 00:31:31,534

DRIVER'S LICENSE,

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER--

EVERYTHING.



476

00:31:31,534 --> 00:31:35,501

I WAS BORN AT 11:12 P.M.

11 PLUS 12.



477

00:31:35,501 --> 00:31:39,100

IT'S LIKE

IT'S IMITATING

MY LIFE.



478

00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:40,767

YOU CAN'T BE

SERIOUS.



479

00:31:40,767 --> 00:31:42,434

THE AUTHOR KNOWS

SO MUCH ABOUT ME.



480

00:31:42,434 --> 00:31:44,100

IT'S AS IF

HE CHOSE ME.



481

00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:45,934

IS THIS WHAT YOU'VE

BEEN DOING ALL DAY?



482

00:31:45,934 --> 00:31:48,200

- HAVE YOU

FINISHED THE BOOK?

- NOT YET.



483

00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,300

YOU'VE CONCERNED

YOURSELF WITH MINUTIA



484

00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:52,634

AND YOU'VE DRAWN WILD

CONCLUSIONS FROM THEM.



485

00:31:52,634 --> 00:31:54,868

WHAT ABOUT

THE FACT THAT FINGERLING

BECOMES A KILLER?



486

00:31:54,868 --> 00:31:56,901

- A KILLER?

- AND JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE

HAVE YOU KILLED?



487

00:31:56,901 --> 00:31:59,234

WAIT, WHO GETS

KILLED?



488

00:31:59,234 --> 00:32:00,901

ASK MR. FINGERLING.



489

00:32:00,901 --> 00:32:02,767

I'M SORRY, HONEY.



490

00:32:06,334 --> 00:32:08,000

WHY THIS COLOR?



491

00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,667

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE

THIS COLOR?



492

00:32:10,667 --> 00:32:12,634

I DON'T KNOW,

YOU TELL ME.



493

00:32:12,634 --> 00:32:15,667

RED NUMBER FIVE--

R-E-D IS 27,



494

00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:17,300

PLUS FIVE IS 32

WHICH IS--



495

00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:19,601

YOU'RE REACHING NOW.



496

00:32:19,601 --> 00:32:21,601

SURE, THERE ARE

DIFFERENCES.



497

00:32:21,601 --> 00:32:23,834

FINGERLING'S A DETECTIVE,

I'M A DOG CATCHER;



498

00:32:23,834 --> 00:32:26,167

HE MET FABRIZIA

WHEN HE WAS 32,



499

00:32:26,167 --> 00:32:27,634

WHEREAS I MET YOU

WHEN I WAS--



500

00:32:27,634 --> 00:32:30,634

- 23.

- AND THE DAY

WE MET WAS?



501

00:32:30,634 --> 00:32:33,300

- SEPTEMBER 14th.

- 9/14.



502

00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:36,767

- 14 PLUS 9 IS?

- 23!



503

00:32:36,767 --> 00:32:40,200

( sighs )

WE MARRIED

OCTOBER 13th--



504

00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,167

10/13, 23.



505

00:32:43,167 --> 00:32:44,934

SUICIDE BLONDE SAID

IT RULED HER WORLD.



506

00:32:44,934 --> 00:32:47,701

SHE KILLED BECAUSE OF IT.

THEN SHE HANDED IT

ON TO FINGERLING



507

00:32:47,701 --> 00:32:50,100

ON HIS 32nd BIRTHDAY--

23 REVERSED.



508

00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:52,734

FINGERLING CALLED IT FATE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT FATE IS?



509

00:32:52,734 --> 00:32:55,133

( whispers )

32.



510

00:32:55,133 --> 00:32:56,868

I REST MY CASE,

YOUR HONOR.



511

00:32:59,167 --> 00:33:01,334

- HONEY, I THINK YOU'RE

TAKING THIS TOO SERIOUSLY.

- WAIT WAIT WAIT



512

00:33:01,334 --> 00:33:03,434

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

WE LIVE AT 1814.



513

00:33:03,434 --> 00:33:05,934

I MEAN, 18 IS

ONE PLUS EIGHT

WHICH EQUALS NINE.



514

00:33:05,934 --> 00:33:08,501

AND NINE PLUS 14

IS ALSO 23.



515

00:33:08,501 --> 00:33:11,167

14 IS ONE PLUS FOUR

WHICH EQUALS FIVE.



516

00:33:11,167 --> 00:33:13,234

AND FIVE PLUS

18 IS 23 TOO.



517

00:33:13,234 --> 00:33:15,467

- OH MY GOD.

- ALL RIGHT, ROBIN,



518

00:33:15,467 --> 00:33:17,033

PLEASE DON'T YOU

START THIS NONSENSE.



519

00:33:17,033 --> 00:33:21,434

THIS IS NOT NONSENSE!

I-I MEAN, FIVE PLUS

18 IS 23.



520

00:33:21,434 --> 00:33:24,133

WELL, IF THE BOOK

WERE 27 OR 150,



521

00:33:24,133 --> 00:33:26,300

YOU COULD DO

THE SAME THING.



522

00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:29,601

18 PLUS 14 IS 32.



523

00:33:29,601 --> 00:33:31,801

23 REVERSED.

( sighs )



524

00:33:31,801 --> 00:33:33,467

SPOOKY, HUH?



525

00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,367

Walter's voice:

"CHAPTER 7:



526

00:33:38,367 --> 00:33:42,601

THE SUICIDE BLONDE HAD

GIVEN FABRIZIA A TASTE

FOR NEW THRILLS.



527

00:33:42,601 --> 00:33:44,567

I PLAYED ALONG,



528

00:33:44,567 --> 00:33:47,567

BUT ALL I COULD THINK

ABOUT WAS THE NUMBER."



529

00:33:47,567 --> 00:33:49,734

THANKS.



530

00:33:49,734 --> 00:33:51,734

Walter's voice:

"I DIDN'T TELL HER



531

00:33:51,734 --> 00:33:53,801

THAT THE CLOCK BEHIND

THE DESK READ 9:14.



532

00:33:55,801 --> 00:33:59,434

( both moaning )



533

00:33:59,434 --> 00:34:01,901

JUST RIP IT OPEN.

JUST RIP IT OFF.



534

00:34:03,701 --> 00:34:05,901

( moaning )



535

00:34:10,701 --> 00:34:13,634

PRETEND YOU HAVE A KNIFE.

PRETEND YOU HAVE A KNIFE.



536

00:34:13,634 --> 00:34:15,267

( whispers )

COME ON.



537

00:34:15,267 --> 00:34:17,734

( gasps, moans )



538

00:34:17,734 --> 00:34:20,734

( moaning )



539

00:34:23,167 --> 00:34:26,834

I KNOW YOU'RE

GONNA HURT ME.



540

00:34:26,834 --> 00:34:29,367

( whispers )

YOU SHUT UP, BITCH,



541

00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:31,701

OR YOU DIE.



542

00:34:31,701 --> 00:34:34,234

Walter's voice:

"OF COURSE I WOULD NEVER

REALLY HARM FABRIZIA.



543

00:34:34,234 --> 00:34:37,801

I LOVED HER.

AND I THOUGHT SHE LOVED ME."



544

00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:42,801

( both moaning )



545

00:34:56,634 --> 00:34:59,000

( heavy metal music playing )



546

00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,868

Walter's voice:

"BUT I STARTED HAVING

TERRIBLE NIGHTMARES."



547

00:35:45,167 --> 00:35:48,501

( exhales )



548

00:36:11,701 --> 00:36:16,300

( whispers )

EIGHT, NINE, 10,

11, 12, 13--



549

00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:18,267

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?



550

00:36:19,434 --> 00:36:21,734

READING.



551

00:36:21,734 --> 00:36:24,901

YOU'RE INSANE.



552

00:37:13,834 --> 00:37:16,567

( dialing )



553

00:37:19,267 --> 00:37:21,934

- ISAAC?

- Isaac: SIMPLY PUT,



554

00:37:21,934 --> 00:37:23,667

IT'S A BOX

THAT COLLECTS



555

00:37:23,667 --> 00:37:26,767

ORGONE ENERGY.

( laughs )



556

00:37:26,767 --> 00:37:31,033

WE'LL TALK ABOUT

WILHELM REICH NEXT WEEK.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.



557

00:37:31,033 --> 00:37:34,033

WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE

A FASCINATING READ.



558

00:37:34,033 --> 00:37:36,000

OF COURSE THERE EXIST

FAR TOO FEW BOOKS



559

00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,834

WHERE THE MAIN

CHARACTER PLAYS

THE SAXOPHONE.



560

00:37:38,834 --> 00:37:40,801

I WASN'T AWARE

YOU ALSO PLAYED.



561

00:37:40,801 --> 00:37:43,100

I DON'T.

THAT'S JUST IT,

IT DOESN'T ALL MATCH.



562

00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:46,434

IT'S THE NUMBER.

I'M SEEING IT EVERYWHERE.



563

00:37:46,434 --> 00:37:48,934

WELL, CONSPIRACY BUFFS

WOULD SAY, "OF COURSE.



564

00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:52,033

AFTER ALL, THE WORLD

SPINS IN AN AXIS OF 23°."



565

00:37:52,033 --> 00:37:54,501

WHEN YOU TELL THEM IT'S

ACTUALLY 23.5, THEY SAY



566

00:37:54,501 --> 00:37:57,567

FIVE IS SIMPLY TWO PLUS THREE.



567

00:37:59,801 --> 00:38:03,067

( chuckles )

23 IS VERY GOOD

AT THIS PARTICULAR GAME.



568

00:38:03,067 --> 00:38:06,033

- GAME?

- YEAH, PARANOIA.



569

00:38:07,901 --> 00:38:10,968

- THERE'S A FAIR BIT OF

LITERATURE ON THE 23 ENIGMA.

- THERE IS?



570

00:38:10,968 --> 00:38:14,133

THERE ARE 23 AXIOMS

TO EUCLID'S GEOMETRY.



571

00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,801

THE HUMAN BODY CONSISTS

OF 46 CHROMOSOMES--



572

00:38:18,801 --> 00:38:21,100

23 FROM EACH PARENT.



573

00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:24,801

BLOOD TAKES 23 SECONDS

TO CIRCULATE.



574

00:38:24,801 --> 00:38:26,901

THE MAYANS BELIEVED

THE END OF THE WORLD



575

00:38:26,901 --> 00:38:30,367

WOULD OCCUR DECEMBER

12th, 2012.



576

00:38:30,367 --> 00:38:32,467

20 PLUS 12 IS?



577

00:38:32,467 --> 00:38:34,701

23 REVERSED.



578

00:38:34,701 --> 00:38:37,234

OR 20 PLUS ONE

PLUS TWO.



579

00:38:37,234 --> 00:38:38,968

SO WHAT IS THIS?



580

00:38:38,968 --> 00:38:41,567

WHAT IS 23?



581

00:38:41,567 --> 00:38:44,434

IS IT...



582

00:38:44,434 --> 00:38:46,501

GOD?



583

00:38:46,501 --> 00:38:48,267

Isaac:

TWO DIVIDED BY THREE--



584

00:38:48,267 --> 00:38:50,634

.666.



585

00:38:50,634 --> 00:38:54,167

666, THE NUMBER

OF THE DEVIL.



586

00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:57,267

THERE ARE ONLY 22 CHAPTERS

IN THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS.



587

00:38:57,267 --> 00:39:00,801

WE ALL KNOW

HOW THAT ENDS.



588

00:39:00,801 --> 00:39:03,100

SO IS 23

A BLESSING OR A CURSE?



589

00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:05,267

WHAT'S TRUE IS THAT

THERE'S A SELECT GROUP

OF PEOPLE



590

00:39:05,267 --> 00:39:09,000

THAT TAKE DELIGHT

IN PERPETUATING

THE NUMBER'S INFAMY.



591

00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,834

LUCKY SEVEN,

UNLUCKY 13,



592

00:39:11,834 --> 00:39:14,167

BALLPLAYERS,

LUCKY SHOES.



593

00:39:14,167 --> 00:39:17,868

PEOPLE ONLY PRAY

BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT GOD

WILL HELP THEM IF THEY DO.



594

00:39:17,868 --> 00:39:20,667

THIS IS MAGICAL

THINKING,



595

00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:23,067

NON-SCIENTIFIC

CAUSAL REASONING.

NOW YOU'RE--



596

00:39:23,067 --> 00:39:26,000

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR 23

SO YOU'RE FINDING IT.



597

00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,033

( chuckles )

AGATHA THINKS

I'M NUTS.



598

00:39:30,033 --> 00:39:32,801

( laughs )

FINISH THE BOOK.



599

00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,501

AND IF AFTER READING IT

IN ITS ENTIRETY,



600

00:39:36,501 --> 00:39:38,100

YOU STILL BELIEVE

THE SUBJECT TO BE YOU,



601

00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:39,767

THEN WHOEVER WROTE IT

KNOWS YOU VERY WELL.



602

00:39:39,767 --> 00:39:42,434

AND ONLY THEY CAN

GIVE YOU YOUR ANSWER.



603

00:39:42,434 --> 00:39:44,968

- THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

- AND IN THE MEANTIME



604

00:39:44,968 --> 00:39:47,067

I CAN SPEAK TO AGATHA,

IF YOU LIKE.



605

00:39:48,767 --> 00:39:50,534

HMM.



606

00:39:50,534 --> 00:39:53,367

( moaning )



607

00:39:55,701 --> 00:39:58,100

Walter's voice:

THE NUMBER WAS EVERYWHERE.



608

00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:01,501

YOU HAVE 23 PAIRS

OF SHOES.



609

00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,601

YOU'RE COUNTING

MY SHOES?



610

00:40:14,767 --> 00:40:16,767

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- READING.



611

00:40:16,767 --> 00:40:18,567

YOU'RE INSANE.



612

00:40:32,767 --> 00:40:36,467

Walter's voice:

"NIGHT AFTER NIGHT I KILLED

FABRIZIA IN MY DREAMS.



613

00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:40,334

I EXPLAINED TO THE DEPARTMENT

SHRINK WHAT HER FULL NAME

ADDED UP TO."



614

00:40:40,334 --> 00:40:43,300

- 23.

- WHAT DO YOU THINK

THAT MEANS?



615

00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,701

I DON'T KNOW,

MILES.



616

00:40:47,801 --> 00:40:50,767

MAYBE I SHOULD BE

A FUCKING ACCOUNTANT.



617

00:40:50,767 --> 00:40:54,601

Walter's voice:

"THE WISE DR. PHOENIX

RECOMMENDS I TAKE A BREAK."



618

00:40:54,601 --> 00:40:57,133

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

TAKE A BREAK.



619

00:40:57,133 --> 00:40:59,133

Walter's voice:

"LIKE TIME IS GONNA

HEAL ME."



620

00:40:59,133 --> 00:41:01,801

TIME IS A--

A GENTLE MAN.



621

00:41:01,801 --> 00:41:04,200

Walter's voice:

"TIME IS JUST A COUNTING

SYSTEM,



622

00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,801

NUMBERS WITH MEANING

ATTACHED TO THEM.



623

00:41:06,801 --> 00:41:10,567

STILL, A BREAK

IS WHAT HE PRESCRIBES.

HE CALLED IT--"



624

00:41:10,567 --> 00:41:13,234

EMOTIONAL LEAVE.



625

00:41:13,234 --> 00:41:16,234

SO YOU'RE NOT

A DETECTIVE ANYMORE.



626

00:41:16,234 --> 00:41:19,234

Walter's voice:

"FABRIZIA WAS NOT IMPRESSED."



627

00:41:19,234 --> 00:41:21,868

I'M A DETECTIVE

ON VACATION.



628

00:41:24,467 --> 00:41:27,133

- ( sniffs )

- AND YOU DON'T

HAVE A GUN?



629

00:41:29,968 --> 00:41:31,467

I STILL HAVE THESE.



630

00:41:31,467 --> 00:41:33,567

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

JUST GET SOME SLEEP

TONIGHT.



631

00:41:47,367 --> 00:41:49,734

Walter's voice:

"THE NUMBER WAS EVERYWHERE.



632

00:41:49,734 --> 00:41:51,467

AT THIS POINT,



633

00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:53,868

I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU



634

00:41:53,868 --> 00:41:55,300

HOW MANY PAIRS

OF SHOES SHE HAD.



635

00:42:09,267 --> 00:42:12,133

WHAT ARE THESE SHOES

DOING IN THE TRASH?



636

00:42:13,801 --> 00:42:16,400

DID YOU KNOW

YOU HAD 23 PAIR?



637

00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,868

OH!



638

00:42:18,868 --> 00:42:21,200

YOU'RE INSANE!



639

00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,534

THE HIROSHIMA BOMB

WAS DROPPED AT 8:15.



640

00:42:24,534 --> 00:42:28,300

EIGHT PLUS 15 IS 23.



641

00:42:28,300 --> 00:42:30,300

WACO, TEXAS,

AND THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING



642

00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:32,734

BOTH HAPPENED

ON APRIL 19th.



643

00:42:32,734 --> 00:42:35,167

FOUR PLUS 19 IS 23.



644

00:42:35,167 --> 00:42:38,567

TROPIC OF CANCER,

23.5° NORTH;



645

00:42:38,567 --> 00:42:41,167

CAPRICORN 23.5° SOUTH.



646

00:42:41,167 --> 00:42:44,934

10886 IS THE NUMBER

AL CAPONE WORE



647

00:42:44,934 --> 00:42:48,234

ON HIS UNIFORM

IN PRISON.



648

00:42:48,234 --> 00:42:51,467

TED BUNDY WAS EXECUTED

ON THE 23rd OF JANUARY.



649

00:42:56,334 --> 00:42:58,601

IT'S ALL 23.



650

00:42:59,834 --> 00:43:02,067

Walter's voice:

"SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND,



651

00:43:02,067 --> 00:43:04,834

WHICH WAS FINE

BECAUSE NEITHER DID I.



652

00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,501

ALL I KNEW WAS



653

00:43:08,501 --> 00:43:10,934

THE NUMBER HAD GONE

AFTER SUICIDE BLONDE,



654

00:43:10,934 --> 00:43:13,133

ISABEL LYDIA HUNT.



655

00:43:17,634 --> 00:43:19,901

NOW IT WAS COMING

AFTER ME."



656

00:43:19,901 --> 00:43:22,901

I CAN SPEAK TO FABRIZIA

IF YOU LIKE.



657

00:43:25,968 --> 00:43:29,033

Walter's voice:

"I BELIEVE HE SAID IT

IN TOTAL INNOCENCE AT THE TIME.



658

00:43:50,434 --> 00:43:52,434

BUT LOOKING BACK..."



659

00:43:52,434 --> 00:43:54,934

I CAN SPEAK TO FABRIZIA

IF YOU LIKE.



660

00:43:54,934 --> 00:43:56,767

"...I WISH I HAD

REACTED DIFFERENTLY."



661

00:43:59,634 --> 00:44:02,467

( screams )



662

00:44:27,534 --> 00:44:29,834

"I SHOULD HAVE REALIZED

THE TRUTH.



663

00:44:29,834 --> 00:44:32,968

I KNOW IT'S ABSURD,



664

00:44:32,968 --> 00:44:35,868

- BUT EVEN THE COLOR

OF HIS TIE BETRAYED HIM."

- ( spits )



665

00:44:41,801 --> 00:44:43,534

DO YOU KNOW

WHAT PINK IS?



666

00:44:43,534 --> 00:44:46,934

RED 27, WHITE 65.

65 PLUS 27-- 92.



667

00:44:46,934 --> 00:44:49,667

PINK HAS FOUR LETTERS.

92 DIVIDED BY FOUR...



668

00:44:49,667 --> 00:44:52,267

TWENTY-FUCKING-THREE!



669

00:44:53,667 --> 00:44:57,634

IN THE MEANTIME,

I CAN SPEAK TO AGATHA

IF YOU LIKE.



670

00:44:57,634 --> 00:45:00,634

( Isaac's voice overlapping )

PARANOIA. 23 IS VERY GOOD

AT THIS...



671

00:45:00,634 --> 00:45:02,467

PARANOIA, PARANOIA.



672

00:45:02,467 --> 00:45:04,501

IN THE MEANTIME,

I CAN SPEAK TO AGATHA



673

00:45:04,501 --> 00:45:06,534

IF YOU LIKE.



674

00:45:06,534 --> 00:45:09,501

...OF AN AXIS OF 23°.

WHEN YOU TELL THEM IT'S

ACTUALLY 23.5,



675

00:45:09,501 --> 00:45:12,767

THEY SAY FIVE IS SIMPLY

TWO PLUS THREE.



676

00:45:35,734 --> 00:45:39,167

Isaac:

IN THE MEANTIME,

I CAN SPEAK TO AGATHA



677

00:45:39,167 --> 00:45:41,601

- IF YOU LIKE.

- ( glass shatters )



678

00:45:51,868 --> 00:45:54,167

Walter's voice:

"CHAPTER 21..."



679

00:46:10,934 --> 00:46:14,067

( panting )



680

00:47:19,434 --> 00:47:21,334

( clicks )



681

00:47:42,801 --> 00:47:45,334

( water running )



682

00:47:50,534 --> 00:47:52,300

( shatters )



683

00:48:19,767 --> 00:48:21,834

OH, GOD!



684

00:48:24,634 --> 00:48:26,133

AG!



685

00:48:27,267 --> 00:48:30,167

OH, GOD!

OH, GOD!



686

00:48:35,634 --> 00:48:37,901

IT'S A NIGHTMARE.

IT'S A NIGHTMARE.



687

00:48:37,901 --> 00:48:40,968

IT'S A NIGHTMARE.

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.



688

00:48:40,968 --> 00:48:43,334

NO!



689

00:48:43,334 --> 00:48:44,767

NO!



690

00:48:44,767 --> 00:48:46,567

( gasps )



691

00:48:46,567 --> 00:48:48,934

( panting )



692

00:49:04,133 --> 00:49:06,601

- ( sighs )

- ( clicks )



693

00:49:24,934 --> 00:49:27,434

( car starts )



694

00:49:45,033 --> 00:49:47,734

Walter's voice:

AG, I DON'T WANT YOU



695

00:49:47,734 --> 00:49:49,734

TO BE WORRIED.



696

00:49:49,734 --> 00:49:52,400

I JUST NEED ONE NIGHT

TO CLEAR MY HEAD.



697

00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,400

PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP

ON ME.



698

00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,868

YOUR LOVING

DOG-CATCHING HUSBAND,



699

00:49:58,868 --> 00:50:00,501

WALTER.



700

00:50:18,601 --> 00:50:20,467

Walter's voice:

WHY THAT STREET?



701

00:50:20,467 --> 00:50:22,934

WHY THAT HOTEL?



702

00:50:24,133 --> 00:50:26,300

LIKE IT WAS MY CHOICE.



703

00:50:50,334 --> 00:50:52,634

- MORNING.

- WHAT CAN I DO

FOR YOU?



704

00:50:52,634 --> 00:50:55,934

YEAH, UM, I'D, UM...

( clears throat )



705

00:50:55,934 --> 00:50:58,033

LIKE A ROOM.



706

00:50:58,033 --> 00:50:59,834

SIGN THE REGISTER.



707

00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,400

27'S THE QUIETEST.



708

00:51:09,801 --> 00:51:12,400

WHAT ABOUT 23?



709

00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,234

WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING

SOME PLUMBING PROBLEMS

WITH 23.



710

00:51:47,434 --> 00:51:50,834

Walter's voice:

CHAPTER 22 WAS AS I FEARED.



711

00:52:22,067 --> 00:52:24,067

( gasps )



712

00:52:39,901 --> 00:52:41,934

( police radio chatter )



713

00:52:56,868 --> 00:53:00,234

( muttering )



714

00:53:10,434 --> 00:53:13,701

TROPIC OF CAPRICORN.



715

00:53:35,767 --> 00:53:38,467

Walter's voice:

IT WASN'T THE HAPPIEST

OF ENDINGS.



716

00:53:38,467 --> 00:53:40,334

IT WASN'T AN ENDING

AT ALL.



717

00:53:40,334 --> 00:53:43,501

AFTER CHAPTER 22,

THERE WAS NOTHING



718

00:53:43,501 --> 00:53:45,934

BUT THE QUESTION.



719

00:53:45,934 --> 00:53:48,934

DID THE NUMBER LIVE

TO KILL ANOTHER DAY?



720

00:53:48,934 --> 00:53:50,701

THE NUMBER HAD

GONE AFTER FINGERLING.



721

00:53:52,567 --> 00:53:55,968

- AND NOW IT WAS

COMING AFTER ME.

- ( dog barks )



722

00:53:59,434 --> 00:54:01,434

YOU.



723

00:54:04,334 --> 00:54:07,434

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.

IF YOU HADN'T MADE ME LATE...



724

00:54:30,167 --> 00:54:33,200

ALL RIGHT,

THIS SUITS ME FINE.



725

00:54:37,267 --> 00:54:40,267

A PLACE TO REST IN PEACE.



726

00:54:40,267 --> 00:54:42,167

( growls )



727

00:54:42,167 --> 00:54:44,801

YES!



728

00:54:48,067 --> 00:54:50,934

I GOT YOU,

YOU SON OF A BITCH.



729

00:54:50,934 --> 00:54:52,934

IT'S OKAY, BOY.



730

00:54:52,934 --> 00:54:55,200

YOU'LL GET UP

IN A COUPLE OF HOURS

WITH A BAD HEADACHE.



731

00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,334

THAT'S ALL.



732

00:54:58,634 --> 00:55:02,234

NOT SO TOUGH NOW,

ARE YOU, NASTY EVIL DOG?



733

00:55:03,667 --> 00:55:06,434

NED.



734

00:55:06,434 --> 00:55:09,701

L, M, N-- 14.



735

00:55:09,701 --> 00:55:13,234

A, B, C, D, E...



736

00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,000

SHIT.



737

00:55:21,234 --> 00:55:24,067

Man:

NED, NED!



738

00:55:24,067 --> 00:55:25,567

I'M FATHER SEBASTIAN.



739

00:55:25,567 --> 00:55:27,300

I TRUST THERE'S

AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS.



740

00:55:27,300 --> 00:55:30,400

HE'S JUST SLEEPING,

FATHER. I'M AN ANIMAL

CONTROL OFFICER.



741

00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,534

- IS THIS YOUR DOG?

- IT BELONGS TO BARNABY,

MY GARDENER.



742

00:55:33,534 --> 00:55:36,834

DON'T WORRY,

BARNABY, HE'S ALL RIGHT.

HE'S JUST SLEEPING.



743

00:55:42,667 --> 00:55:44,868

- WHY DID YOU NAME HIM NED?

- Sebastian: HE DIDN'T.



744

00:55:44,868 --> 00:55:46,734

HE-- HE TOOK NED IN

AS A STRAY.



745

00:55:46,734 --> 00:55:50,734

HE LIKES GRAVEYARDS.

HE SITS AND WATCHES

THE STONES



746

00:55:50,734 --> 00:55:53,634

LIKE HE WAS WATCHING

OVER THEM.



747

00:55:53,634 --> 00:55:57,033

THAT'S HOW HE

GOT HIS NICKNAME--

GUARDIAN OF THE DEAD.



748

00:55:57,033 --> 00:55:59,234

LATELY IT'S BEEN

THIS ONE.



749

00:56:03,767 --> 00:56:06,434

OH, NO WAY.



750

00:56:06,434 --> 00:56:08,734

WHAT'S WRONG, SON?



751

00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,467

SHE DIED

ON HER 23rd BIRTHDAY.



752

00:56:12,467 --> 00:56:14,267

WELL, WE CAN

ONLY ASSUME.



753

00:56:14,267 --> 00:56:17,534

- WHAT?

- THAT SHE DIED.



754

00:56:17,534 --> 00:56:20,701

THEY NEVER FOUND HER BODY.

THIS IS ONLY A MARKER.



755

00:56:20,701 --> 00:56:24,067

- WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

- LIBRARY. IT'S NOT

JUST A BOOK.



756

00:56:24,067 --> 00:56:27,300

IT'S TRUE, THE NUMBER

SCREWS WITH YOUR MIND,



757

00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:30,000

MAKES YOU DO...



758

00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,667

TERRIBLE THINGS.



759

00:56:31,667 --> 00:56:34,501

PERHAPS I SHOULD

BE GOING.



760

00:56:34,501 --> 00:56:38,100

NO, I WANT YOU

TO SEE THIS, ALL OF YOU.



761

00:56:38,100 --> 00:56:41,634

THERE WAS A COLLEGE GIRL

NAMED LAURA TOLLINS

WHO WAS MURDERED.



762

00:56:41,634 --> 00:56:43,834

THEY NEVER FOUND HER BODY,



763

00:56:43,834 --> 00:56:47,000

BUT HER BED WAS SOAKED

IN SO MUCH BLOOD.



764

00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,601

THIS IS THE MAN

WHO KILLED HER, KYLE FLINCH.



765

00:56:49,601 --> 00:56:52,467

POLICE FOUND

A MURDER WEAPON,

A BUTCHER'S KNIFE,



766

00:56:52,467 --> 00:56:54,467

WITH HIS PRINTS

ALL OVER IT.



767

00:56:54,467 --> 00:56:56,634

WELL, WALTER,

THIS WAS NEARLY

15 YEARS AGO.



768

00:56:56,634 --> 00:57:00,634

AG, HE WASN'T JUST

HER PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR.

THEY WERE LOVERS.



769

00:57:00,634 --> 00:57:03,868

EVERYTHING THEY DID

TOGETHER SEXUALLY



770

00:57:03,868 --> 00:57:05,868

WAS EXACTLY LIKE

THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK.



771

00:57:05,868 --> 00:57:08,667

HE SAID IT WAS HER IDEA

TO BUY THE KNIFE.



772

00:57:08,667 --> 00:57:12,467

SHE WANTED

TO FAKE AN ATTACK.



773

00:57:12,467 --> 00:57:16,467

KYLE FLINCH

IS TOPSY KRETTS.



774

00:57:16,467 --> 00:57:19,167

THE BOOK IS HIS...



775

00:57:19,167 --> 00:57:22,067

WARPED LITERARY

CONFESSION.



776

00:57:24,133 --> 00:57:27,000

AGATHA SAID A-A DOG

TOLD YOU THIS.



777

00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,234

NED ISN'T JUST A DOG.



778

00:57:30,234 --> 00:57:32,300

HE'S THE GUARDIAN

OF THE DEAD.



779

00:57:33,634 --> 00:57:35,300

Robin:

BUT WHAT ABOUT

ALL THESE 23s



780

00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:36,901

IN-IN-IN YOUR NAME

AND EVERYTHING?



781

00:57:36,901 --> 00:57:39,634

- IS IT ALL

JUST A COINCIDENCE?

- I DON'T KNOW.



782

00:57:41,033 --> 00:57:42,901

BUT I KNOW

WHO CAN TELL ME.



783

00:57:48,067 --> 00:57:50,234

( cell door opening )



784

00:58:01,167 --> 00:58:03,801

WELL, YOU'RE

TWO DAYS EARLY.



785

00:58:05,868 --> 00:58:07,567

YOU KNEW

I WOULD COME?



786

00:58:12,567 --> 00:58:14,834

REPORTERS ALWAYS

COME ON THE 10th.



787

00:58:14,834 --> 00:58:16,667

THE DAY YOU KILLED

LAURA TOLLINS.



788

00:58:16,667 --> 00:58:19,501

THE DAY SHE WAS

TAKEN FROM ME.



789

00:58:19,501 --> 00:58:22,901

I'M NOT A REPORTER.

MY NAME IS WALTER SPARROW.



790

00:58:22,901 --> 00:58:25,200

I WAS BORN FEBRUARY 3rd.



791

00:58:26,767 --> 00:58:30,267

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY.



792

00:58:30,267 --> 00:58:33,067

FEBRUARY 3rd.

2/3.



793

00:58:33,067 --> 00:58:36,834

- YEAH.

- DON'T PRETEND

YOU DON'T KNOW,



794

00:58:36,834 --> 00:58:39,667

TOPSY KRETTS.

I READ YOUR BOOK.



795

00:58:39,667 --> 00:58:42,300

TELL ME

ABOUT THE NUMBER.



796

00:58:42,300 --> 00:58:44,367

IS THAT WHY

YOU KILLED HER?



797

00:58:44,367 --> 00:58:47,067

I NEED TO KNOW.

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME.



798

00:58:52,267 --> 00:58:55,834

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

I'M AFRAID IT'S HAPPENING TO ME.



799

00:58:55,834 --> 00:58:58,033

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?



800

00:59:02,868 --> 00:59:05,934

YOU WANT TO KNOW

THE WORST THING ABOUT

BEING IN PRISON?



801

00:59:05,934 --> 00:59:09,701

YOUR FAMILY, YOUR SISTER,

YOUR PARENTS,



802

00:59:09,701 --> 00:59:12,000

THEY COME TO VISIT YOU.



803

00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,534

OVER TIME, THOUGH,

THE VISITS GET LESS



804

00:59:14,534 --> 00:59:16,601

AND YOUR SISTER STOPS

COMING AT ALL.



805

00:59:18,367 --> 00:59:21,501

THEN YOU START TO NOTICE

YOUR MOTHER WON'T LOOK YOU

IN THE EYE.



806

00:59:21,501 --> 00:59:24,567

PRETTY SOON,

SHE STOPS COMING TOO.



807

00:59:26,100 --> 00:59:27,601

EVENTUALLY, YOUR--



808

00:59:27,601 --> 00:59:30,567

YOUR FATHER TELLS

YOU YOUR SISTER

HAD A BREAKDOWN...



809

00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,734

UNABLE TO DEAL

WITH HAVING A MURDERER



810

00:59:34,734 --> 00:59:36,667

FOR A BROTHER.



811

00:59:36,667 --> 00:59:39,067

NOW THERE'S TEARS

IN HIS EYES WHEN

HE SAYS THIS,



812

00:59:39,067 --> 00:59:42,467

BUT HE'S NOT SAD.



813

00:59:42,467 --> 00:59:45,000

HE'S ANGRY.



814

00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,834

THAT'S THE LAST TIME

YOU EVER SEE HIM.



815

00:59:50,334 --> 00:59:53,567

I DIDN'T KILL LAURA.



816

00:59:53,567 --> 00:59:55,701

I LOVED HER.



817

00:59:55,701 --> 00:59:58,701

AND I DIDN'T WRITE A BOOK

ABOUT A NUMBER.



818

01:00:01,601 --> 01:00:04,267

YOU'RE LYING.



819

01:00:04,267 --> 01:00:08,234

I'M IN PRISON FOR A CRIME

I DID NOT COMMIT,

MR. SPARROW.



820

01:00:10,868 --> 01:00:13,901

BUT SOMEHOW I THINK

YOUR PROBLEMS ARE

BIGGER THAN MINE.



821

01:00:16,868 --> 01:00:19,701

FUCKING LIAR!



822

01:00:21,934 --> 01:00:24,501

NO.

YEAH, NO.



823

01:00:27,601 --> 01:00:29,901

IF I WAS

TO WRITE A BOOK,



824

01:00:29,901 --> 01:00:33,567

I WOULDN'T USE A RIDICULOUS

NAME LIKE "TOP SECRETS."



825

01:00:40,968 --> 01:00:42,968

( buzzer sounds )



826

01:00:44,968 --> 01:00:47,033

( door closes )



827

01:00:57,434 --> 01:00:59,734

HE WAS REAL CONVINCING

ABOUT HIS INNOCENCE.



828

01:00:59,734 --> 01:01:01,667

WELL, KILLERS

USUALLY ARE.



829

01:01:01,667 --> 01:01:03,868

HIS FINGERPRINTS WERE

ON THE KNIFE.



830

01:01:03,868 --> 01:01:06,167

HER BLOOD WAS

ON HIS HANDS WHEN

HE DIALED 911.



831

01:01:06,167 --> 01:01:09,734

- NO, HE'S INNOCENT.

- ( buzzer sounds )



832

01:01:12,567 --> 01:01:14,934

ALL BECAUSE HIS NAME

DOESN'T ADD UP TO 23?



833

01:01:14,934 --> 01:01:17,767

THE REAL KILLER,

THE AUTHOR, HE'S STILL

OUT THERE.



834

01:01:17,767 --> 01:01:20,000

I HAVE TO FIND HIM.



835

01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,434

WAIT, I--I--I--I KNOW

HOW YOU CAN FIND HIM.



836

01:01:29,300 --> 01:01:32,167

Robin:

LAST NIGHT W-WHEN I WAS

READING THE BOOK,



837

01:01:32,167 --> 01:01:34,968

I FOUND A P.O. BOX

ADDRESS IN THE BACK.



838

01:01:42,767 --> 01:01:45,834

- ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T

WANT ANYTHING IN THIS?

- JUST THE SNOW.



839

01:01:45,834 --> 01:01:48,868

- WHEN DO YOU WANT IT

TO GET THERE?

- TOMORROW MORNING.



840

01:01:48,868 --> 01:01:51,367

- IT'LL HAVE TO GO EXPRESS.

- FINE.



841

01:01:51,367 --> 01:01:52,934

IS THAT ALL?



842

01:01:52,934 --> 01:01:54,968

NO NO, WE WANT A--



843

01:01:54,968 --> 01:01:57,534

WE WANT 23 OF THEM.



844

01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:04,701

I DREAMT THAT

I KILLED YOU, AG.



845

01:02:04,701 --> 01:02:08,234

- FINGERLING HAD

THE SAME DREAM ABOUT--

- SHH.



846

01:02:08,234 --> 01:02:11,133

I'M GOING

WITH YOU TODAY.



847

01:02:11,133 --> 01:02:13,701

AND ALL THIS

IS GONNA COME TO AN END.



848

01:02:15,701 --> 01:02:17,801

YOU WOULDN'T HURT ME,

WALTER.



849

01:02:19,767 --> 01:02:23,200

YOU WOULDN'T HURT

ANYONE EVER.



850

01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,100

HOW DO YOU KNOW?



851

01:02:37,968 --> 01:02:40,033

THERE'S YOUR BOXES,

KIDDO.



852

01:02:40,033 --> 01:02:42,868

NOW WE'LL SEE

IF SOMEBODY SHOWS UP.



853

01:02:44,334 --> 01:02:47,534

THIS MAY NOT BE THE AUTHOR.

HE MAY NOT EVEN BE A MAN.



854

01:02:48,601 --> 01:02:52,133

WELL, WE'LL KNOW

SOON ENOUGH.



855

01:03:15,534 --> 01:03:17,534

- WALTER, LOOK.

- HUH?



856

01:03:17,534 --> 01:03:19,534

SOMEBODY'S GONE IN.



857

01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,234

Robin: THAT'S HIM.

I-IT'S GOTTA BE HIM.



858

01:03:24,234 --> 01:03:27,701

- Walter: YOU THINK?

- YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK AT HIM.



859

01:03:27,701 --> 01:03:29,734

IT'S GOTTA BE HIM.



860

01:03:36,133 --> 01:03:38,167

GAME'S OVER,

TOPSY KRETTS.



861

01:03:48,767 --> 01:03:51,934

YOU SH--

SHOULD BE DEAD.



862

01:03:53,667 --> 01:03:55,534

YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!



863

01:03:58,033 --> 01:04:01,234

- WALTER, NO!

- I'M CALLING THE COPS!



864

01:04:01,234 --> 01:04:04,234

STOP!

WHO ARE YOU?



865

01:04:04,234 --> 01:04:06,767

THE NUMBER,

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?



866

01:04:06,767 --> 01:04:09,334

I THINK YOU KNOW.



867

01:04:09,334 --> 01:04:12,868

( groans )



868

01:04:12,868 --> 01:04:14,601

- OH MY GOD.

GET AN AMBULANCE!

- WATCH OUT!



869

01:04:14,601 --> 01:04:18,567

- DEAR GOD.

- GET AN AMBULANCE!



870

01:04:18,567 --> 01:04:20,367

Walter:

DON'T YOU DIE ON ME.



871

01:04:20,367 --> 01:04:22,801

YOU HEAR ME?

DON'T YOU DIE.



872

01:04:22,801 --> 01:04:24,767

WALTER, PLEASE.



873

01:04:24,767 --> 01:04:27,968

HE'S THE ONLY PERSON

THAT CAN HELP US GET

BACK TO NORMAL.



874

01:04:27,968 --> 01:04:29,901

HONEY, YOU'RE NOT

HELPING, OKAY?



875

01:04:29,901 --> 01:04:32,601

NOW I WANT YOU

TO TAKE ROBIN

AND GO HOME.



876

01:04:32,601 --> 01:04:34,467

THIS MAN NEEDS

A HOSPITAL.



877

01:04:34,467 --> 01:04:37,734

- I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

- BUT HE KNOWS, HON.



878

01:04:37,734 --> 01:04:39,901

TAKE ROBIN

AND GO HOME.



879

01:04:39,901 --> 01:04:43,701

I SAID I'LL TAKE CARE

OF IT.



880

01:04:49,100 --> 01:04:50,634

HE KNOWS.



881

01:04:50,634 --> 01:04:52,734

SHIT!



882

01:04:52,734 --> 01:04:54,834

HARD TO GET RID OF...



883

01:04:54,834 --> 01:04:57,767

- WHAT?

- I WAS INSANE.



884

01:04:57,767 --> 01:04:59,434

WHAT WAS DRIVING

YOU INSANE?



885

01:04:59,434 --> 01:05:02,267

HARD...



886

01:05:02,267 --> 01:05:05,067

TO GET RID OF...



887

01:05:05,067 --> 01:05:07,467

( gasps )



888

01:05:07,467 --> 01:05:09,901

THE INSTITUTE.



889

01:05:09,901 --> 01:05:13,000

GO THERE.



890

01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,667

YOU'LL SEE.



891

01:05:14,667 --> 01:05:17,300

OH MY GOD.



892

01:05:17,300 --> 01:05:19,567

( siren wailing )



893

01:05:25,667 --> 01:05:29,234

( telephone rings )



894

01:05:29,234 --> 01:05:31,734

- AGATHA.

- WALTER, HE DIDN'T MAKE IT.



895

01:05:31,734 --> 01:05:33,334

I'M SO SORRY.



896

01:05:33,334 --> 01:05:35,534

Well, did he say

anything?



897

01:05:35,534 --> 01:05:38,501

NO, I'M SORRY.



898

01:05:38,501 --> 01:05:41,133

DID YOU FIND OUT

WHO HE WAS?



899

01:05:41,133 --> 01:05:43,701

No.



900

01:05:43,701 --> 01:05:46,868

I'LL BE HOME

IN A LITTLE WHILE.



901

01:05:46,868 --> 01:05:49,000

( hangs up )



902

01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,667

( water dripping )



903

01:06:44,667 --> 01:06:47,400

- ( wings flapping )

- ( gasps )



904

01:07:19,067 --> 01:07:20,467

OH, SHIT!



905

01:07:20,467 --> 01:07:23,133

YOU GOTTA BE

KIDDING ME.



906

01:07:25,567 --> 01:07:27,567

ROBIN!



907

01:08:25,701 --> 01:08:28,534

EVERY 23rd WORD

ON EVERY 23rd PAGE:



908

01:08:28,534 --> 01:08:32,367

"VISIT CASANOVA SPARK,

DIG BENEATH THE STEPS

TO HEAVEN."



909

01:08:33,734 --> 01:08:36,701

- WHO'S CASANOVA SPARK?

- IT'S NOT A PERSON.



910

01:08:36,701 --> 01:08:39,200

"I WARN YOU, HELL IS

WAITING, SPARROW MAN."



911

01:08:41,067 --> 01:08:43,334

WE NEED TO GO.



912

01:09:04,701 --> 01:09:07,234

( mumbling )



913

01:09:15,901 --> 01:09:19,734

( mumbling )



914

01:09:19,734 --> 01:09:21,734

Man: 23!



915

01:09:27,067 --> 01:09:30,234

( mumbling )



916

01:09:35,133 --> 01:09:37,634

Agatha:

WHAT WAS DRIVING YOU INSANE?



917

01:09:58,033 --> 01:09:59,801

( gasps )



918

01:10:10,267 --> 01:10:12,901

WANNA TAKE BETS THAT

THERE'S 23 OF THEM?



919

01:10:18,934 --> 01:10:21,801

20, 21, 22...



920

01:10:26,501 --> 01:10:28,501

ARE YOU SURE

YOU WANNA DO THIS?



921

01:10:31,133 --> 01:10:34,667

WHAT IF MOM WAS RIGHT?



922

01:10:34,667 --> 01:10:36,501

WH-WH-WHAT IF-- WHAT IF

THE MAN WASN'T THE AUTHOR?



923

01:10:36,501 --> 01:10:39,901

WHAT-- WHAT IF HE WAS

JUST THE GUY'S FATHER

OR SOMETHING?



924

01:10:39,901 --> 01:10:42,334

SOUNDS LIKE A LOT

OF WHAT IFS.



925

01:10:42,334 --> 01:10:45,601

WOULDN'T THAT MEAN

THAT THE REAL KILLER'S

STILL OUT THERE?



926

01:10:53,434 --> 01:10:56,467

Robin:

DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?



927

01:10:57,601 --> 01:10:59,801

YOU'RE STARTING

TO SOUND LIKE ME, KIDDO.



928

01:11:00,934 --> 01:11:02,934

( clangs )



929

01:11:07,267 --> 01:11:10,000

GIMME THE LIGHT.

GIMME THE LIGHT.



930

01:11:12,701 --> 01:11:16,133

( gasps )

OH, MY--



931

01:11:23,267 --> 01:11:27,167

OKAY, WE GOTTA GO.

GO!



932

01:11:27,167 --> 01:11:30,133

GIVE ME THE LIGHT.

LET'S GET OUT

OF HERE.



933

01:11:39,567 --> 01:11:42,400

- Robin: THERE'S ONE

RIGHT THERE.

- WHERE?



934

01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,367

( tires screech )



935

01:11:46,868 --> 01:11:48,934

YOU STAY HERE!



936

01:11:50,934 --> 01:11:53,601

Woman: 911.

What's your emergency?



937

01:11:53,601 --> 01:11:55,801

YOU NEED TO SEND SOMEONE



938

01:11:55,801 --> 01:11:57,801

TO CASANOVA'S PARK.



939

01:12:02,133 --> 01:12:05,367

IS THIS YOUR IDEA

OF A JOKE?



940

01:12:05,367 --> 01:12:07,501

IT'S EMPTY.



941

01:12:11,267 --> 01:12:12,834

WHAT?



942

01:12:14,734 --> 01:12:17,067

IT WAS RIGHT THERE.



943

01:12:17,067 --> 01:12:20,767

WE'RE NOT CRAZY.

WE CIRCLED EVERY 23rd WORD

ON EVERY 23rd PAGE



944

01:12:20,767 --> 01:12:22,367

- AND IT TOLD US

TO COME DOWN HERE.

- YEAH.



945

01:12:22,367 --> 01:12:25,033

AND I SOUND

COMPLETELY CRAZY,

DON'T I?



946

01:12:25,033 --> 01:12:26,767

Policeman:

JUST GET SOME SLEEP, OKAY?

WE'RE DONE HERE.



947

01:12:26,767 --> 01:12:29,067

10-23, U.T.L.



948

01:12:32,434 --> 01:12:34,200

MOM.



949

01:12:36,067 --> 01:12:38,367

OH, HONEY.



950

01:12:45,667 --> 01:12:48,968

- LET'S GO HOME, OKAY?

- YEAH.



951

01:12:58,434 --> 01:13:01,033

SKELETONS CAN'T JUST

GET UP AND WALK AWAY.



952

01:13:01,033 --> 01:13:03,601

YOU WERE RIGHT.

THAT MAN WASN'T THE KILLER.



953

01:13:03,601 --> 01:13:05,400

THE REAL KILLER

IS STILL OUT THERE



954

01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,467

AND HE KNOWS DAD'S

ONTO HIM.



955

01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,601

THE BOOK, IT'S GOT

ALL THESE-- THESE--



956

01:13:11,601 --> 01:13:13,601

THESE SECRET MESSAGES

EVERY 23rd PAGE.



957

01:13:13,601 --> 01:13:15,601

- HE'S RIGHT, EVERY 23rd

PAGE IN THE BOOK.

- Agatha: STOP IT!



958

01:13:15,601 --> 01:13:17,868

- YES.

- BOTH OF YOU, STOP IT!

NOW LISTEN TO ME.



959

01:13:17,868 --> 01:13:21,133

23 IS A NUMBER, OKAY?

THERE'S NO MAGICAL MEANING.



960

01:13:21,133 --> 01:13:22,701

ONLY PEOPLE CAN

GIVE IT THAT.



961

01:13:22,701 --> 01:13:25,434

AND I DON'T CARE

HOW MANY LUNATICS

ARE FANTASIZING ABOUT 23.



962

01:13:25,434 --> 01:13:27,601

THEY'RE WRONG!

THERE'S NO CURSE.



963

01:13:27,601 --> 01:13:30,467

THERE'S NO KILLER

RUNNING AROUND OUT THERE.



964

01:13:30,467 --> 01:13:32,300

- ( brakes squeal )

- Walter: JESUS.



965

01:13:37,234 --> 01:13:39,067

IT'S HIM.



966

01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,834

THAT'S NED.



967

01:13:48,300 --> 01:13:51,834

NASTY EVIL DEAD DOG.



968

01:13:56,334 --> 01:13:59,667

- DAD!

- WALTER!



969

01:13:59,667 --> 01:14:01,334

( screeching )



970

01:14:07,534 --> 01:14:10,801

( panting )



971

01:14:26,467 --> 01:14:28,467

YOU.



972

01:14:30,033 --> 01:14:32,667

IT WAS YOU.



973

01:14:32,667 --> 01:14:34,667

YOU MOVED THE SKELETON.



974

01:14:36,567 --> 01:14:37,834

PLEASE DON'T DO

THIS, WALTER.



975

01:14:37,834 --> 01:14:39,701

THEN HOW DID YOU KNOW,

UNLESS...



976

01:14:44,467 --> 01:14:46,734

YOUR MAIDEN NAME

IS PINK.



977

01:14:46,734 --> 01:14:48,501

DO YOU KNOW WHAT

PINK IS?



978

01:14:48,501 --> 01:14:51,701

RED AND WHITE,

92 DIVIDED BY 4.



979

01:14:53,667 --> 01:14:56,200

SOMEDAY I'M GONNA WRITE

A BOOK AND I'LL DO IT

TO SOMEBODY ELSE.



980

01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,234

- WALTER.

- OH, GOD.



981

01:14:58,234 --> 01:14:59,767

WHOEVER WROTE IT

KNOWS YOU VERY WELL,



982

01:14:59,767 --> 01:15:01,501

AND ONLY THEY CAN GIVE

YOU YOUR ANSWERS.



983

01:15:01,501 --> 01:15:04,767

YOU WROTE IT.



984

01:15:06,367 --> 01:15:07,968

ISAAC KNEW ALL ALONG,

DIDN'T HE?



985

01:15:07,968 --> 01:15:11,267

WALTER, JUST LET IT

BE, PLEASE.



986

01:15:11,267 --> 01:15:13,067

YOU'RE TOPSY KRETTS.



987

01:15:13,067 --> 01:15:14,567

HE MAY NOT

EVEN BE A MAN.



988

01:15:14,567 --> 01:15:17,868

- DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS.

- WHY, AG?



989

01:15:20,434 --> 01:15:22,467

WHY'D YOU DO THIS?



990

01:15:23,968 --> 01:15:27,601

- WHO HAVE I BEEN

LIVING WITH?

- WALTER.



991

01:15:29,701 --> 01:15:32,100

( chuckles )



992

01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,734

WHAT'S THIS FOR, AG?



993

01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:40,367

WHAT WERE YOU

GONNA DO WITH THIS?



994

01:15:40,367 --> 01:15:42,234

I--



995

01:15:42,234 --> 01:15:44,734

I TOOK IT

TO PROTECT US



996

01:15:44,734 --> 01:15:48,434

FROM WHOEVER WE WERE

GONNA MEET AT THE MAILBOX

FACILITY.



997

01:15:48,434 --> 01:15:51,567

INTENDING TO KILL THAT

POOR OLD MAN WHO YOU GOT

TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK



998

01:15:51,567 --> 01:15:53,467

AND PROTECT

YOUR LITTLE SECRET?



999

01:15:53,467 --> 01:15:57,434

- I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

- HE WAS ALIVE BEFORE

YOU SENT US AWAY.



1000

01:15:57,434 --> 01:16:00,634

- ROBIN WILL HEAR YOU.

- OH, WE WOULDN'T WANT THAT,

WOULD WE?



1001

01:16:00,634 --> 01:16:03,901

WOULDN'T WANT OUR SON

TO KNOW THE HORRIBLE TRUTH

ABOUT HIS MOTHER.



1002

01:16:03,901 --> 01:16:05,834

MOM, DAD, WHAT'S GOING ON?



1003

01:16:05,834 --> 01:16:07,801

SHE'S TOPSY KRETTS.

SHE WROTE THE BOOK.



1004

01:16:07,801 --> 01:16:11,734

NO, IT'S NOT TRUE.

NOW YOUR FATHER'S GONNA

PUT DOWN THE KNIFE.



1005

01:16:11,734 --> 01:16:14,434

- AREN'T YOU, WALTER?

- TELL HIM THE TRUTH.



1006

01:16:14,434 --> 01:16:17,567

- WALTER.

- TELL HIM HOW YOU TOOK

THE SKELETON.



1007

01:16:17,567 --> 01:16:20,734

YES, ISAAC AND I

TOOK THE SKELETON.



1008

01:16:20,734 --> 01:16:23,033

- YOU DID?

- AND I'D DO IT AGAIN.



1009

01:16:23,033 --> 01:16:25,067

BUT I DID NOT

WRITE THE BOOK.



1010

01:16:25,067 --> 01:16:27,567

DON'T LIE.

13 YEARS, AG.



1011

01:16:27,567 --> 01:16:28,968

13 YEARS OF LIES!



1012

01:16:28,968 --> 01:16:31,100

- NO MORE.

- DON'T DO THIS TO US, WALTER.



1013

01:16:31,100 --> 01:16:33,767

- MOM, WHO WROTE THE BOOK?

- TELL HIM WHO WROTE IT.



1014

01:16:33,767 --> 01:16:36,601

TELL HIM.



1015

01:16:36,601 --> 01:16:39,100

YOU WROTE THE BOOK,

WALTER.



1016

01:16:51,267 --> 01:16:54,133

I FOUND THIS

WITH THE OLD MAN'S THINGS.



1017

01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,801

YOU PUT MY NAME

ON THIS.



1018

01:17:06,801 --> 01:17:08,367

NO.



1019

01:17:09,467 --> 01:17:11,801

NO NO NO NO NO.



1020

01:17:11,801 --> 01:17:13,434

YOU'RE LYING.



1021

01:17:13,434 --> 01:17:17,000

SHE'S LYING.

I DIDN'T-- I DIDN'T

WRITE THAT.



1022

01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,834

THEN WHO DID?



1023

01:17:20,701 --> 01:17:22,334

YOU.



1024

01:17:24,434 --> 01:17:28,300

IT WAS BOTH OF YOU

ALL THE WAY ALONG,

WASN'T IT?



1025

01:17:28,300 --> 01:17:30,667

- NO.

- WHAT IS THIS?



1026

01:17:30,667 --> 01:17:32,667

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?



1027

01:18:00,033 --> 01:18:01,801

Robin: DAD.



1028

01:18:03,767 --> 01:18:05,033

DAD, WHAT'S HAPPENING?



1029

01:18:08,834 --> 01:18:11,434

WALTER, WE CAN

GET YOU HELP.



1030

01:18:13,701 --> 01:18:15,434

Fingerling:

THE WOMAN IN RED.



1031

01:18:15,434 --> 01:18:17,701

Suicide Blonde:

AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE

ME FEEL BETTER HOW?



1032

01:18:22,300 --> 01:18:25,133

OH MY GOD.

SHIT!



1033

01:18:30,033 --> 01:18:31,601

WALTER.



1034

01:18:40,300 --> 01:18:44,133

NO!

GET OUT OF HERE!



1035

01:18:44,133 --> 01:18:45,901

GET YOUR CAR.

COME ON.



1036

01:18:45,901 --> 01:18:48,300

- Robin: LET'S GO.

- COME ON, HONEY.



1037

01:18:55,767 --> 01:18:58,501

( typewriter bell dings )



1038

01:19:36,100 --> 01:19:38,601

( gasps )



1039

01:20:11,033 --> 01:20:13,701

Walter's voice:

"CHAPTER 23:



1040

01:20:13,701 --> 01:20:16,801

YOU CAN CALL

ME FINGERLING,



1041

01:20:16,801 --> 01:20:20,367

BUT MY REAL NAME

IS WALTER.



1042

01:20:20,367 --> 01:20:24,167

WALTER PAUL SPARROW.



1043

01:20:24,167 --> 01:20:27,501

WHAT YOU HAVE READ SO FAR

IS NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH.



1044

01:20:27,501 --> 01:20:31,167

MUCH HAS BEEN CHANGED

TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT



1045

01:20:31,167 --> 01:20:33,200

AND THE GUILTY.



1046

01:20:38,934 --> 01:20:41,434

I ONCE READ THAT

THE ONLY PHILOSOPHICAL

QUESTION THAT MATTERS



1047

01:20:41,434 --> 01:20:44,167

IS WHETHER OR NOT

TO COMMIT SUICIDE.



1048

01:20:45,734 --> 01:20:48,100

I GUESS THAT MAKES ME

A PHILOSOPHER.



1049

01:20:50,567 --> 01:20:53,067

YOU COULD SAY

IT WAS MY INHERITANCE.



1050

01:20:53,067 --> 01:20:55,567

AFTER MY MOTHER'S DEATH



1051

01:20:55,567 --> 01:20:57,767

MY FATHER COULDN'T COPE.



1052

01:20:57,767 --> 01:20:59,834

( gunshot )



1053

01:21:02,734 --> 01:21:04,701

HE DIDN'T LEAVE A NOTE.



1054

01:21:06,100 --> 01:21:07,968

JUST A NUMBER.



1055

01:21:10,133 --> 01:21:13,200

THAT NUMBER FOLLOWED ME

FROM FOSTER HOME

TO FOSTER HOME,



1056

01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,934

TILL COLLEGE

WHEN I MET HER.



1057

01:21:15,934 --> 01:21:17,934

( chuckles )



1060

01:21:37,067 --> 01:21:38,701

DO IT TIGHT.



1061

01:21:41,567 --> 01:21:44,334

PRETEND THAT

YOU HAVE A KNIFE.



1062

01:21:44,334 --> 01:21:46,234

I GOT A KNIFE.



1063

01:21:46,234 --> 01:21:48,133

CUT MY SHIRT.



1064

01:21:48,133 --> 01:21:50,300

- I'LL CUT YOU SOME MORE.

- ARE YOU?



1065

01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:51,567

YEAH, I'LL CUT YOU.



1066

01:21:56,834 --> 01:21:59,167

( panting )



1067

01:22:04,834 --> 01:22:07,434

CUT ME.

CUT ME.

01:22:07,434 --> 01:22:10,834

Walter's voice:

"I LOVED HER."



1069

01:22:10,834 --> 01:22:13,267

ONE LITTLE-KNOWN...



1070

01:22:13,267 --> 01:22:15,434

Walter's voice:

"AND I THOUGHT SHE LOVED ME."



1071

01:22:15,434 --> 01:22:18,000

...ESOTERIC PROCESSION

OF THE NUMBER 23.



1072

01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,534

DOES A THING ITSELF

HAVE A MYSTICAL POWER?



1073

01:22:20,534 --> 01:22:23,133

- DOES THAT EQUATE?

- YES, THAT-- THAT'S--

THAT'S THE...



1074

01:22:23,133 --> 01:22:26,567

Walter's voice:

"UNTIL MY FATHER'S NUMBER

RETURNED TO HAUNT ME."



1075

01:22:40,667 --> 01:22:42,734

ARE YOU INSANE?



1076

01:22:42,734 --> 01:22:45,067

Walter's voice:

"THAT FUCKING NUMBER."



1077

01:22:48,367 --> 01:22:51,934

( moaning )



1078

01:23:06,734 --> 01:23:09,634

"WHEN I CIRCLED EVERY

23rd LETTER OF HER NOTE...



1079

01:23:11,534 --> 01:23:14,367

IT BECAME CLEAR."

GONE AFTER ME.

- AND NOW IT WANTED HER."

- ( knocking on door )



1083

01:23:28,300 --> 01:23:30,467

LAURA, THIS ROOM--

YOU GOTTA GET OUT.



1084

01:23:30,467 --> 01:23:32,467

- IT'S COMING FOR YOU.

I CAN'T STOP IT.

- WHAT?



1085

01:23:32,467 --> 01:23:35,400

- WHAT?

- THE NUMBER.



1086

01:23:36,767 --> 01:23:40,234

- NO NO NO NO NO.

- LEAVE ME ALONE.



1087

01:23:42,834 --> 01:23:45,501

YOU THINK YOU HAVE

THE GUTS TO USE IT?



1088

01:23:45,501 --> 01:23:48,501

GO AHEAD.



1089

01:23:48,501 --> 01:23:51,167

KILL ME.



1090

01:23:54,834 --> 01:23:56,834

I LOVE YOU.



1091

01:23:59,100 --> 01:24:02,501

I NEVER LOVED YOU,

EVER.



1092

01:24:02,501 --> 01:24:06,100

HOW COULD I?



1093

01:24:06,100 --> 01:24:08,434

HOW COULD ANYONE?



1094

01:24:08,434 --> 01:24:10,367

YOU'RE PATHETIC.



1095

01:24:11,834 --> 01:24:13,968

JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER.



1096

01:24:16,300 --> 01:24:17,834

- GET OUT!

- ( screams )



1097

01:24:27,901 --> 01:24:29,868

LAURA.



1098

01:24:29,868 --> 01:24:32,501

LAURA!



1099

01:24:32,501 --> 01:24:35,000

LAURA!

LAURA!



1100

01:24:40,133 --> 01:24:43,100

LAURA!

LAURA!



1103

LAURA! LAURA!



1104

LAURA!



1105

01:24:51,100 --> 01:24:53,200

Walter's voice:

I WAS RIGHT.



1106

01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,434

SHE WAS IN DANGER.



1107

01:24:55,434 --> 01:24:58,501

I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE

THE DANGER WAS ME."



1108

01:25:00,934 --> 01:25:03,567

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.



1109

01:25:06,534 --> 01:25:09,701

I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE

THE DANGER WAS ME."



1110

01:25:09,701 --> 01:25:11,701

( sobbing )



1111

01:25:15,934 --> 01:25:18,968

( panting )



1112

01:25:26,033 --> 01:25:28,501

HEY, LAURA.



1113

01:25:33,133 --> 01:25:35,133

LAURA?



1114

01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:15,801

Walter's voice:

"WHAT BEGAN AS A SUICIDE NOTE



1115

01:26:15,801 --> 01:26:17,367

TURNED INTO

SOMETHING MORE..."

( mumbling )



1120

01:26:34,901 --> 01:26:36,901

23.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.



1121

01:26:36,901 --> 01:26:38,934

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.



1122

01:26:46,501 --> 01:26:49,267

23. 23.

23, 23.

FUCK IT, FUCK IT.



1125

01:26:53,601 --> 01:26:54,968

I CAN SEE IT.

IT'S EVERYWHERE.



1126

01:26:54,968 --> 01:26:58,300

IT'S EVERYWHERE.

IT'S EVERYWHERE.



1127

01:26:58,300 --> 01:27:00,400

NO MORE FUN AND GAMES.



1128

01:27:01,634 --> 01:27:03,901

LAURA.

SHIT!

THIS FUCKING...



1131

01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,033

IT'S NOT TRUE.



1132

01:27:20,033 --> 01:27:22,067

IT'S NOT

TRUE.



1133

01:27:22,067 --> 01:27:24,968

HE DOES NOT--

DOES NOT--



1134

01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,267

I LOVE YOU...



1135

01:27:31,267 --> 01:27:32,868

MORE THAN ANY OF...



1136

01:27:32,868 --> 01:27:35,601

PERIOD, EXCLAMATION.



1137

01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,033

REMEMBER THIS?



1138

01:28:11,934 --> 01:28:14,167

( glass shatters )



1139

01:28:34,501 --> 01:28:36,767

Walter's voice:

"THEY THOUGHT IT WAS

THE FALL..."



1140

01:28:36,767 --> 01:28:40,667

HE DOESN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON IN CASES

OF SUCH SEVERE HEAD INJURY.



1141

01:28:40,667 --> 01:28:43,934

HE COULD RECOVER

HIS MEMORY TOMORROW

OR NEVER.



1142

01:28:43,934 --> 01:28:46,067

WELL, OF COURSE YOU

HAVE TO FACTOR IN THE HISTORY



1143

01:28:46,067 --> 01:28:48,634

OF MENTAL INSTABILITY

OF THE PATIENT'S FAMILY.



1144

01:28:48,634 --> 01:28:50,634

HIS OWN FATHER

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.



1145

01:28:50,634 --> 01:28:54,100

HE JUST MANAGED

TO BE A LITTLE MORE

SUCCESSFUL AT IT.



1146

01:28:54,100 --> 01:28:57,868

Walter's voice:

"...BECAUSE THE TRAUMA OF LAURA

APPEARED TO BE FICTION."



1147

01:28:57,868 --> 01:29:00,767

- AND ALL THAT SCRIBBLING?

- SEVERE GRAPHOMANIA.



1148

01:29:00,767 --> 01:29:02,767

THE RANTINGS

OF A DELIRIOUS MIND.



1149

01:29:02,767 --> 01:29:04,767

SOME SORT OF A SURVIVOR'S

GUILT MIXED UP



1150

01:29:04,767 --> 01:29:06,367

WITH A NUMEROLOGY

OBSESSION.



1151

01:29:06,367 --> 01:29:09,467

YOU HAVE YOUR

HANDS FULL, DOCTOR.



1152

01:29:09,467 --> 01:29:12,100

MMM.

I'LL DO WHAT I CAN.



1153

01:29:13,234 --> 01:29:16,267

SAY, UH, MAY I

HAVE THIS BOOK?



1154

01:29:16,267 --> 01:29:18,734

THANK YOU.



1155

01:29:18,734 --> 01:29:20,868

Walter's voice:

"MY NOVEL,



1156

01:29:20,868 --> 01:29:22,834

MY CONFESSION,

01:29:22,834 --> 01:29:26,734

- I NEVER SAW IT AGAIN."

- MY NAME IS DR. NATHANIEL.

"SOME INJURIES

CAN BE HEALED OVER TIME.



1159

01:29:29,767 --> 01:29:33,167

SOME ARE JUST

TOO HARD TO DEAL WITH.



1160

01:29:33,167 --> 01:29:34,767

SO MY BRAIN

JUST BLOCKED OUT



1161

01:29:34,767 --> 01:29:37,400

THE TERRIBLE THING

I HAD DONE



1162

01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:39,400

AND THE REASONS WHY."



1163

01:29:40,634 --> 01:29:42,734

- TAKE CARE.

- I HOPE I NEVER

SEE YOU AGAIN.



1164

01:29:42,734 --> 01:29:45,901

- I HOPE NOT. I HOPE NOT.

DON'T COME BACK, FELLA.

- OKAY.



1165

01:29:54,968 --> 01:29:57,868

- OOH! OH MY GOD.

I'M SO SORRY.

- OH!



1166

01:29:57,868 --> 01:29:59,434

OH, NO.



1167

01:29:59,434 --> 01:30:01,767

Walter's voice:

"AGATHA KNEW NOTHING

ABOUT MY PAST."



1168

01:30:01,767 --> 01:30:03,567

OH, YOU OWE ME

A CAKE.



1169

01:30:03,567 --> 01:30:06,033

Walter's voice:

"THAT MADE TWO OF US.



1170

01:30:06,033 --> 01:30:08,534

I WAS FREE FOR NOW,



1171

01:30:08,534 --> 01:30:11,100

BUT THE NUMBER

FOUND A NEW VICTIM.



1172

01:30:11,100 --> 01:30:13,934

THE NUMBER LEFT ME ALONE

FOR 13 YEARS...



1173

UNTIL THE NIGHT

SHE FOUND MY BOOK,



1174

01:30:19,567 --> 01:30:21,701

OR THE BOOK

FOUND HER."



1175

01:30:45,767 --> 01:30:47,868

THIS IS WHERE

I WROTE IT ALL.



1176

01:30:47,868 --> 01:30:51,100

IT WAS ME.



1177

01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:53,434

I'M A MURDERER.



1178

01:30:58,033 --> 01:31:01,334

I DON'T KNOW WHAT

HAPPENED TO YOU,

BUT I DO KNOW THIS:



1179

01:31:03,234 --> 01:31:05,701

YOU WEREN'T A BAD PERSON

WHO GOT BETTER;



1180

01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:10,000

YOU WERE A SICK PERSON

WHO BECAME WELL.



1181

01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:13,167

I KILLED

LAURA TOLLINS.



1182

01:31:16,033 --> 01:31:18,734

THERE'S AN INNOCENT MAN

IN PRISON BECAUSE OF ME.



1183

01:31:20,467 --> 01:31:22,968

YOU'RE A WONDERFUL

HUSBAND,



1184

01:31:22,968 --> 01:31:26,968

AND YOU'RE THE BEST FATHER

A SON COULD EVER HAVE.



1185

01:31:26,968 --> 01:31:29,567

AND WHAT WOULD ROBIN DO

WITHOUT YOU?



1186

01:31:31,100 --> 01:31:34,200

YOU KNOW I CAN'T LET

AN INNOCENT MAN GO

ON SUFFERING



1187

01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,100

FOR MY HORRIBLE SIN.



1188

01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:40,701

WE'RE ALL BROKEN,

WALTER.



1189

01:31:40,701 --> 01:31:42,701

REMEMBER, YOU TOLD ME

YOUR LIFE STARTED



1190

01:31:42,701 --> 01:31:44,701

WHEN YOU MET ME?



1191

01:31:44,701 --> 01:31:47,334

WELL, MY LIFE



1192

01:31:47,334 --> 01:31:50,167

- BEGAN THAT DAY, TOO.

- YOU DIDN'T KNOW

WHO I WAS.



1193

01:31:50,167 --> 01:31:52,701

I DIDN'T KNOW

WHO I WAS.



1194

01:31:52,701 --> 01:31:55,400

- I WANT YOU

TO LEAVE, AG.

- NO.



1195

01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,868

- YOU NEED

TO LEAVE BEFORE...

- NO.



1196

01:31:57,868 --> 01:32:00,367

BEFORE WHAT?



1197

01:32:04,634 --> 01:32:06,634

BEFORE YOU KILL ME?



1198

01:32:09,067 --> 01:32:11,567

DAMN IT, WALTER.



1199

01:32:11,567 --> 01:32:13,734

LOOK, THIS...



1200

01:32:13,734 --> 01:32:15,734

THIS IS WHO YOU WERE.



1201

01:32:15,734 --> 01:32:17,934

THIS IS NOT

WHO YOU ARE.



1202

01:32:19,634 --> 01:32:21,934

- THIS IS NOT

WHO YOU ARE!

- I'M A KILLER!



1203

01:32:23,601 --> 01:32:26,868

I HAVE KILLED SOMEONE.



1204

01:32:26,868 --> 01:32:29,634

I KILLED SOMEONE.



1205

01:32:29,634 --> 01:32:31,634

I COULD DO IT AGAIN.



1206

01:32:31,634 --> 01:32:34,601

YOU THINK YOU COULD

DO IT AGAIN? YOU THINK

YOU'RE A KILLER?



1207

01:32:35,634 --> 01:32:37,000

HERE, THEN TAKE THIS.



1208

01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,000

YOU GO AHEAD AND DO IT.



1209

01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,067

IF YOU'RE A KILLER,

THEN KILL ME!



1210

01:32:41,067 --> 01:32:42,667

LOOK AROUND AT ALL

THE BEAUTIFUL 23s.



1211

01:32:42,667 --> 01:32:45,167

YOU DON'T WANT

TO DISAPPOINT THEM,

DO YOU?



1212

01:32:45,167 --> 01:32:47,067

DO IT!



1213

01:32:47,067 --> 01:32:49,567

( crying )



1214

01:32:49,567 --> 01:32:51,534

I LOVE YOU.



1215

01:32:51,534 --> 01:32:54,567

NO, DON'T YOU SAY THAT.



1216

01:32:56,167 --> 01:32:59,167

- I LOVE YOU.

- NO, YOU CAN'T!



1217

01:33:03,300 --> 01:33:05,367

NOBODY CAN.



1218

01:33:33,601 --> 01:33:35,934

( horn honking )



1219

01:33:43,067 --> 01:33:45,133

DAD!



1220

01:33:54,634 --> 01:33:56,300

Walter's voice:

THERE'S NO SUCH THING

AS DESTINY.



1221

01:33:58,133 --> 01:34:00,133

THERE ARE ONLY

DIFFERENT CHOICES.



1222

01:34:18,033 --> 01:34:20,567

IT'S JUST A NUMBER.



1223

01:34:20,567 --> 01:34:23,601

Walter's voice:

SOME CHOICES ARE EASY;



1224

01:34:23,601 --> 01:34:25,501

SOME AREN'T.



1225

01:34:25,501 --> 01:34:28,400

THOSE ARE THE REALLY

IMPORTANT ONES,



1226

01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,734

THE ONES THAT DEFINE US

AS PEOPLE.



1227

01:34:31,734 --> 01:34:34,801

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD.

THERE IS NOTHING I LACK.



1228

01:34:34,801 --> 01:34:37,434

IN GREEN PASTURES,

YOU LET ME GRAZE.



1229

01:34:37,434 --> 01:34:41,100

TO SAFE WATERS, YOU LEAD ME.

YOU RESTORE MY...



1230

01:34:41,100 --> 01:34:43,601

Walter's voice:

13 YEARS AGO I MADE

THE WRONG CHOICE...



1231

01:34:43,601 --> 01:34:45,901

GUIDE ME ALONG

THE RIGHT PATH FOR THE SAKE...



1232

01:34:45,901 --> 01:34:49,100

Walter's voice:

I NEEDED TO PUT IT RIGHT,



1233

01:34:49,100 --> 01:34:51,167

AND NOT JUST

FOR MY SAKE.



1234

01:35:07,601 --> 01:35:11,467

TO DIE THERE IN THE STREET

WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY,



1235

01:35:11,467 --> 01:35:14,434

BUT IT WOULDN'T

HAVE BEEN JUSTICE,



1236

01:35:14,434 --> 01:35:18,067

AT LEAST NOT THE JUSTICE

FATHERS TEACH THEIR SONS ABOUT.



1237

01:35:26,534 --> 01:35:29,234

I'LL BE SENTENCED

IN A WEEK OR SO.



1238

01:35:29,234 --> 01:35:31,534

MY LAWYER SAYS

THE JUDGE WILL LOOK

KINDLY UPON ME



1239

01:35:31,534 --> 01:35:34,000

FOR TURNING MYSELF IN.



1240

01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:36,701

MAYBE IT'S NOT

THE HAPPIEST OF ENDINGS,



1241

01:35:36,701 --> 01:35:39,167

BUT IT'S THE RIGHT ONE.



1242

01:35:40,834 --> 01:35:42,968

SOMEDAY I'LL BE UP

FOR PAROLE



1243

01:35:42,968 --> 01:35:44,968

AND WE CAN GO ON

LIVING OUR LIVES.



1244

01:35:44,968 --> 01:35:47,734

IT'S ONLY A MATTER

OF TIME.



1245

01:35:47,734 --> 01:35:49,734

OF COURSE, TIME'S JUST

A COUNTING SYSTEM--



1246

01:35:49,734 --> 01:35:51,901

NUMBERS...



1247

01:35:51,901 --> 01:35:53,901

WITH MEANING ATTACHED

TO THEM.



1248

01:35:53,901 --> 01:35:57,300

( ticking )



1249

01:35:57,300 --> 01:36:00,000

ISN'T IT?



1250

01:36:10,267 --> 01:36:13,334

( rock music playing )



1251

01:36:16,701 --> 01:36:19,634

* I'VE GOT ME

A BADGE *



1252

01:36:19,634 --> 01:36:23,634

* A BRIGHT, SHINY

BADGE *



1253

01:36:23,634 --> 01:36:25,400

* I'M PAINTING

THE CREST *



1254

01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:28,567

* IN YELLOW

AND BLUE *



1255

01:36:30,300 --> 01:36:33,300

* I'VE GOT ME A CLUB *



1256

01:36:33,300 --> 01:36:35,634

* AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB *



1257

01:36:37,667 --> 01:36:41,567

* DOESN'T INCLUDE A PLACE

FOR YOU *



1258

01:36:44,067 --> 01:36:47,234

* HEY *



1259

01:36:48,834 --> 01:36:50,968

* HELLO, NEIGHBOR *



1260

01:36:57,667 --> 01:37:00,667

* HEY *



1261

01:37:02,467 --> 01:37:04,734

* HELLO, NEIGHBOR *



1262

01:37:06,801 --> 01:37:08,801

* RIGHT YOU ARE *



1263

01:37:10,334 --> 01:37:14,033

* IT'S IN THE WAY

THAT YOU WALK *



1264

01:37:14,033 --> 01:37:17,968

* ALL OF THE CHANGES,

ALL THE MISTAKES *



1265

01:37:17,968 --> 01:37:19,868

* IT'S IN THE DEMANDS *



1266

01:37:19,868 --> 01:37:22,601

* YOU CONSTANTLY MAKE *



1267

01:37:23,968 --> 01:37:26,901

* IT'S IN THE WAY

THAT YOU GRIEVE *



1268

01:37:28,267 --> 01:37:31,634

* ALL OF THE LOSS *



1269

01:37:31,634 --> 01:37:35,501

* YOU DON'T KNOW

WHEN YOU'RE BETTER OFF *



1270

01:37:37,501 --> 01:37:40,067

* OR AT WHAT COST *



1271

01:37:44,868 --> 01:37:47,133

* YOU'VE GOT IT GOOD *



1272

01:37:53,567 --> 01:37:55,968

* THE BANALITY *



1273

01:37:55,968 --> 01:37:58,968

* OF EVIL *



1274

01:37:58,968 --> 01:38:00,968

* BENEVOLENT MOTHER *



1275

01:38:00,968 --> 01:38:02,868

* SMOTHER THE CHILD *



1276

01:38:02,868 --> 01:38:06,234
