All language subtitles for Stitchers.S01E03.Connections.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-ECI

Previously on stitchers...

His name was ed clark.
My real father parked me
with him when i was eight.

We're not teammates.
We're not co-workers.

Well, that definitely
is clarifying.

Kirsten:
Has anyone ever
done this before?

Cameron:
Her name's marta.
She couldn't handle it.

-What are you two doing here?
-I'm afraid that's above your
paygrade detective.

Don't tell me
a secret agency
mission, right?

-Is that the roommate?
-Camille, this is linus.

-Woof!
-We're investigating
the death of lisa keller.

-She was murdered.
-How do you know this?

Cause we hacked
into her brain

After she died
and read her memories.

It's called stitching.

You've gotta be
freaking kidding me.

You were under strict orders
only to observe kirsten
and report back to me.

-How long have you
been spying on me for?
-The entire last year.

So, i'm being recruited?

Hey, fisher. Welcome
to the stitchers program.

(people laughing)

Go, go, go.
Move, move, move.

Jewelery, now.

-And the watch.
-Come on, man, not the watch.

Wear it
in good health.

-You too, hurry up.
-Is that why you killed
lilly ross?

-Because she wasn't fast enough?
-Jewelery, now.

Michelle
from the hotel,

What is she? Your wife?
Your girlfriend?

If you turn yourself in,
maybe we can help her.

If i turn myself in,

I'll rot in prison,

And that is not happening!

(theme music playing)

¶ take me inside ¶

¶ take me inside ¶

¶ everything that
you're promised now ¶

¶ it's alright ¶

God. There's 50 boxes
still in the garage.

I'm gonna have to find
a new place to park.

This is all ed's stuff
from his apartment.

Apparently, i am
the closest thing

He has to a living relative,

So... Now it's mine.

Well, great. We can add it

To all the crap he left behind

After the first time
he moved out.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Aren't you just a little curious

What's in all these?

Bringing that stuff into the
house was your idea, not mine.

Yeah, come on, 'cause it's
kind of like a treasure hunt.

Maybe there's an old watch
in one of these you can sell.

I mean, treasure forever
as a family heirloom.

(mutters)
i don't know.

Ooh! See? ¶ pictures! ¶

(gasps) no way.

Do you even know
what this is?

A woman with no
personal boundaries.

This is a classic...
(grunts)

Tube amp stereo system,

And it's super high end.

And super old.

Well, let's fire this baby up.

I've been meaning
to get into vinyl.

Oh. I thought
you were into leather.

Hilarious!
Grab the turntable.

-Mom?
-Huh?

This is a picture
of ed and my mother.

-Whoa.
-Yeah.

The real "whoa,"
however, is...

Who's been ripped
out of the photo?

This is a photo
of ed clark and my mother.

I see you've started
going through ed's things.

They're my things now.
What was the connection
between him and my mother?

Ed, your mother and father
helped develop

The stitchers technology.
They were friends.

-Just friends?
-As far as i know.

And what does this mean?
"remember"?

-I don't know.
-Gosh!

Some days you are just
dripping with information,

And then other days
you don't know anything.

What possible motives
could i have to withhold
information from you?

Three, in descending order
of probability:

One, you know things
about me you don't
want me to know;

Two, you know things about me
i wouldn't want to know;

And three, you legitimately
know nothing.

Four, i'm a machiavellian bitch

Who believes
that knowledge is power

And wants
to retain as much power
over others as i can.

I stand corrected.
Four motives.

Well, it sounds like
you got me all figured out.

Let me know
when you settle on one.

Ed ripped someone
out of this picture.

Any ideas who it was?

No, but i assume
it's someone he didn't
think very highly of.

Keep it. I have a copy.

In the late 1960s,
william zane johnson

Began building modified
st-70 tube systems.

In 1983, he established
the hallmark

Of high definition sound
with the reference 600.

It's 600 watts
of breathtaking
thermionic power

That has no peer.
Ask anyone.

I'm sorry i asked you.

Hey, stretch. Macchiato
with just the subtlest hint
of mexican cocoa?

-Tell me about maggie.
-I think she prefers
chai lattes.

She clearly knows more
about what we do here
than she lets on.

Maggie's inscrutable.
Seriously, she can't be scruted.

So, are you ladies
planning on setting up

That old
tube-based stereo system
all by yourselves?

Of course.

Uh, what?

What if cameron and i
swing by later tonight
and we just do it for you?

The implication
being that women
aren't smart enough

To hook up
stereos themselves?

(fake cough) dumb-ass.

No, no, no.
It's just that high-end audio
is a guy thing.

(fake cough)
double dumb-ass.

It's true.
It has to do
with socialization.

Girls listen
to music for meaning.

Guys listen to music
for sonics.

-(laughs)
-my god.

We're working
with cavemen.

Yeah.
Listen, boys,

I studied electrical engineering
and acoustic wave theory.

I think kirsten and i can handle
setting up an old stereo.

Well, if it's the system
i'm thinking of,

It has 16 separate tubes
that have to be placed
into their proper sockets.

I'd like to see you
"acoustic wave theory"

Your way to figuring
that one out.

-(beeps)
-oh, we're up, guys.

So, what time should
we come over tonight?

(sighs)

You really gotta learn
how to speak to women.

What? I speak
to a woman every night.

Yeah, your mother.

What's your point?

Maggie:
Lilly ross, 25. Newlywed.

Lilly and her husband, scott,
were on their honeymoon,

Walking on santa monica pier.

Scott left her
for a few minutes.

When he returned,
he found her body
in the alley.

Why'd he leave her alone?

He said that he was arranging
a romantic surprise for her.

She died of
blunt force trauma to the head.
Her jewelry was taken.

-Sounds like a random robbery.
-Or made to look like one.

70% of female murder victims
are killed by their boyfriends,
exes, or husbands.

So, why is this
a stitchers case?

There's been
a rash of tourist robberies
around the city.

This is the first one
that's ended in a death.

We don't know
if they're connected,

But if they are,
we might be able
to stop them.

Have the police questioned
the husband?

Briefly, but he was in shock.
He could barely speak.

He's sedated,
and he's back
in his hotel room.

On her honeymoon.
That just sucks.

Why? Dead is dead,
no matter when it happens.

I don't think
i'll ever get used to
that condition of hers.

Man:
Communications online.

Cameron:
I need a go, no-go
for stitch neurosync.

-Life-sci.
-We are a go!

-Cameron: Sub-bio.
-Go.

-Engineering.
-Go!

-Communications.
-Linus: Yeah, we're a go!

-Cameron: Medical.
-Go.

We are go
for stitch neurosync.

Okay, pork chop,
you're on.

I anticipate that
the blunt force trauma
to her head

Will make navigating
lilly's memories tricky.

I'll do what i can
from here, but be prepared
for a bumpy ride.

-Okay.
-Thunderbirds are go.

Initiate stitch neurosync
on my mark.

Three, two,

One...

Mark!

(distorted
carnival music playing)

(people whooping)

What do you say we go
back to the hotel and...

(scoffs)
why does your collar
always do that?

Oh! I left
my phone at the restaurant.
I'll be right back.

They're at
the santa monica pier.

Scott just told lilly
he left his phone

At a restaurant
and left her alone.

-(phone clicks)
-he lied.

He's got his phone.
He's making a call.

I can't hear
what he's saying.

-(gasps)
-someone's grabbing her.

-Cameron: Who?
-(distortion)

Where am i?
Cameron, put me back.
I need to see the rest.

That's the end of the line
for that memory thread.

You're in an earlier memory now.

You know what
i hate about you?

Her memories are
going by too quickly.

I was afraid
this might happen. Sub-bio?

Glutamate levels
are increasing.

Her brain is
depolarizing fast.

Her neurons are fizzling.
We can't slow them down.

What are you doing?

What is that?
You know what
i hate about you?

Show me.

What's all this money for?

I'm bouncing.

-Lights to 100%.
-(gasps)

What'd you see?

Scott had an envelope
filled with cash.

Enough money
to pay someone
to kill his wife.

-Bastard.
-That's what it looks like,

But i feel he's innocent.

So, i guess
fisher's bringing scott in
for questioning in the morning.

-Mm-hmm.
-Damn it! This is
antique technology.

How hard can this be?

Ugh! Okay, fine.

What did you see in that stitch
that makes you think that douche
didn't kill his wife?

It wasn't something i saw.
It was something i felt.

Yeah, but he lied to his wife,

Told her he left his phone
at the restaurant,

Then used it to make a call.
How do you explain that?

I can't.

But it doesn't make sense.

I want to be there
when fisher questions him.

-Why?
-Cognitive dissonance.

Scott's actions
to lilly don't match

The emotions
lilly felt towards him.

Mm-hmm.

I need to be with scott.

Excuse me? You need
to be with this guy?

Not be with him, just...

Be around
when he's questioned.

Okay, just trust me
on this one:

Relationships are
very messy.

Yeah, that doesn't mean
you turn psycho.

You should meet
my last boyfriend.

That's what i'm talking about.
One down, 15 to go. Okay.

-So, what do
you think of linus?
-Linus?

-Mm-hmm.
-He's capable,
good at what he does.

Why?

Are you interested in him?

(laughs) what?

No. I was just...
(clears throat)

No.

-Okay.
-Ooh!

Look what i found.

Okay.

Kirsten.

(door opens, closes)

Okay. You saw me
question him.

What do you think?

I think he's innocent.

(sighs)
i'm not convinced.

Yeah, that's because you didn't
ask the right questions.

You didn't ask about
the envelope full of money,

And you didn't ask about
how he treated lilly
in the hotel room.

Are you serious?
Is she serious?

Almost always.

I can't ask him about things
that you know of

Because you were
in his dead wife's memories.

How do i explain
how i know any of that?

How will you prove
his innocence without asking?

If he's guilty,
eventually we'll figure it out.

He didn't ask for a lawyer.

Guilty people ask for lawyers.
Innocent ones don't.

That's not always the case.

Need more convincing?

Scott took out
a life insurance policy

On lilly one week
before their wedding.

(cellphone ringing)

(sighs)
wait here.

My captain
needs to chew me out
about something.

(door opens, closes)

(chuckles)

He is innocent.
I know it.

You said it yourself:
70% of female murder victims
are killed by men they know.

Not this one.

What are you doing?

(sighs)

This'll end poorly.

Mr. Ross?

-Who are you?
-My name is kirsten clark.

-Are you a cop?
-I want to talk
to you about lilly.

I already told
detective fisher
everything i know.

When are you people
gonna find the man
who killed my wife?

We're working on it.

He thinks that
i killed her, doesn't he?

He isn't sure, but maybe.

Why?

Why would
he think that?

You took out
a life insurance
policy on lilly.

Yeah, and she took
one out on me.

We did it to take care
of each other, just in case...

Look, i already told
the detective all of this.

Why are you making me
go through it again?

Lilly found money
in the hotel room,

Money you were
hiding from her.

It was for a present
for her-- a necklace.

I told the detective
that it was stolen.

Diamond and sapphire.

Lilly was wearing it
when she was attacked,

And you bought it
with that envelope of cash,

So now it's hard
to prove it even existed.

How do you know this?

Why did you say
you hated her?

"you know what
i hate about you?"
you said that to her.

Why--
why did you say that?

Who told you that? Were you--
were you watching us?

-No.
-What kind of cop are you?

-(door opens, closes)
-fisher: Alright, you two.

What the hell
is she doing?

(stammers)

She's interrogating
the witness.

She gonna compromise
the whole case.

I'm just trying
to help you.

You want to help me?

Find the man
who killed my wife.

-Scott.
-No! I am done talking
to you without a lawyer.

Get out!
Leave me alone!

(sighs)
impersonating
a police officer?

Are you insane?

I never said i was a cop.

And he's innocent.
I feel it.

Kirsten, i have
no dog in this fight.

He's innocent,
he's guilty--

I just want the truth.

But you're getting
into something that's
over your head.

What was going on
with you in there?

I don't know. I...

I just felt
this connection.

It's residual emotion.
That's all.

What's residual emotion?

From being stitched.
Kirsten's inherited some traces
of lilly's feelings.

I could sense it--
the way that lilly
understood... Him.

She knew who he was.

There wasn't
any anger or animosity.

It-- it wasn't
that kind of relationship.

She heard him say
that he hated her,
and she knew he didn't.

Okay, well,
maybe he said that
during an argument

Or in the heat of the moment.
Sometimes people get hurt.

-Are we still talking
about lilly?
-What?

Yeah.

What was that about?

Camille: Excuse me.
Everything okay down there?

Yes. Just checking
the nanobot annealing
processor.

Oh. That's interesting.

-We have nanobots.
-Of course.

We use nanobot technology
in the bodies

To bridge their synaptic gaps.

It's the key
into stitching
into their memories.

That's so interesting.
Not really.

So, red or white?

I'm not sure what color
our nanobots are.

-They're microscopic.
-Wine.

Which do you prefer,
red or white?

Actually,
my favorite wine is beer.

Why do you ask?

Just because i'm trying
to figure out what to serve

When you and cameron
come over tonight to help
set up the stereo.

I knew it!
That tube amp system
kicked your scrawny ass!

I'm so sorry.
I'm an idiot.

Firstly, there is
nothing scrawny
about this ass.

Secondly, that thing
has 16 sockets,

Which makes for 298 possible
tube-to-socket combinations.

Make no mistake,
i can do it, but it'll
be faster with your help.

So, come by at 7:00
and tell cameron.

Oh, and i don't think
you're an idiot.

-Thanks.
-You're more of an imbecile.

(shouts)
interesting distinction.

When can i stitch
back into lilly?

We need to prove
scott's innocent.

You are getting
way too close to this.

I thought this was
what we do here--

Catch the bad guys,
clear the good guys.
What am i missing?

You're having trouble
separating lilly's emotions
from your own.

You think she's the first person
who got dead by someone
she desperately loved?

He didn't do it,
and don't talk to me
about emotional voodoo.

What was the deal with you
back at the police station?

-What deal?
There was no deal.
-"sometimes people get hurt."

What was that?

Maybe i was
just waxing poetic.

-(alert buzzing)
-oh! Refractory period's up.

If you wanna
stitch back in,
now's the time.

Stitch neurosync
in three...

Two... One... Mark.

-Talk to me, sunshine.
-I'm getting memory
flashes again.

Okay, we're using
a protocol to slow down

The electrical depolarization
in lilly's brain. Sub-bio?

Glutamate levels are down.
Increasing sodium and
calcium inhibitors.

Her e.P.'s steady.

Can you hold the memories
longer this time?

I'm on it.

Brace yourself.

You know what
i hate about you?

You know what
he hates about her?

What?

-Nothing.
-(chuckles)

Nothing.

What are you doing?

What is that, lilly?
Show me.

What's all this money for?

Oh, babe.

It's for that necklace
you wanted.

It was supposed
to be a surprise.

He did buy her the necklace.

Cameron, he didn't kill her,
i need to see who did.

Time's running out.
You need to bounce.

-Not yet.
-Cameron, she's not marta.

They're on their way
to the lunch.

She wasn't killed
until after.

Put me into that memory.

Bio, how is she?

Her cerebral temp's normal,
but her heart rate is up.

114 beats per minute.
Her b.P. Is 150 over 90.

You don't have time,
make the bounce!

Kirsten, make the bounce!

They took an l.A. Wheels car
to the beach.

We need to find that driver.

Guys, it's a dead end.

Fisher says the lapd questioned
the ross' l.A. Wheels driver.

He was at a sports bar
three miles away
when lilly was killed.

Okay, well, i just hacked
into the l.A. Wheels
mapping system.

This shows the location
of every one of their cars
in los angeles.

That's the pier.

I'm rolling the map back
to saturday between 12:15
and 12:30 p.M.

When scott said
the car dropped them off.

And that's the ross' car?

Yeah. And here it is
at the sports bar.

His alibi holds.

I need-- want to see
scott again.

Ask him about the car service.

We can have
fisher call him.

No, i should do this
in person.

I'll go to his hotel.

I know what you're thinking,
and it's not that.

He already thinks i'm a cop.
Plus, i feel like he'll
talk to me.

I feel...

A connection?

-Yeah,
-that's what
i'm worried about.

All right, stitching affects
you, makes you different
for a little bit.

It doesn't always last,
but it's noticeable.

Okay, maybe you're right.

Stitching does
change me a little.

But, i also can't stop
doing the job i need to do.

-Yeah--
-i'm going to scott's hotel.

I'm telling you
it's a bad idea.

And that's why
you shouldn't come.

If you're worried,
why don't you go with her?

It's obvious she doesn't
want me to.

So, what do we do now?

Well, i guess let's go back
to my place and hook up...

-Yes!
-The stereo.

Right.

That's what i was
excited about.

Yeah, me too.

Is this what torturing
one's self looks like?

When you pulled me
from my cozy research position

And dropped me into
the stitchers program,

You didn't warn me
people could get hurt.

One of the most crucial devices
in our lab, one you
helped design,

Is called
"the corpse cassette."

I didn't think that
i needed to prepare
you emotionally

For what that implies.

I studied neuroscience,
i've been around cadavers
for years.

It's not the already dead
that bother me.

Kirsten is different
than marta. You know that,
don't you?

Yes, but is she
different enough?

Marta is in this condition
because she couldn't separate

Her emotions from the sample
that she stitched into.

I'm worried kirsten
is falling into the same trap.

Cameron?

I know that you don't like me.

No, it-- it's okay.
You don't need to.

And you don't trust me.

But the things that
we are doing have
a noble purpose,

And anything with
a noble purpose has risks.

Now, i can't tell you everything
about the stitchers program,

But when we are done,

You will look back
and know that you were part
of something very important.

I can promise you that.

What i can't promise you

Is that no one else
will get hurt.

(kirsten knocking)
mr. Ross?

Oh, it's you.

Do you have any news
or anything?

May i come in?

Do you know
who killed lilly?

No.

You're not even
police, are you?

No.

But, i do work
with them.

They still think
i'm guilty.

But i don't.

And how are you
gonna prove that?

The night that lilly
was murdered, you took
an l.A. Wheels car to the beach.

Yeah, the concierge
arranged it.

Michelle.
She had red hair.

Lilly looked
so beautiful that night.

I know.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to help you.

The police are right.

I killed lilly.

No.

That's impossible.

You act like you know me,

But you don't know anything.

I did kill lilly!

I left her on that pier.

She was--
she was murdered
because i wasn't there...

Because i snuck off
to call the hotel

Just so they could send up
a stupid bottle
of champagne!

-Scott.
-Get out.

You are not lilly.

You're not anyone.

Get out.

Hey, how do you
like your beer?

In my mouth
and then in my stomach.

Yeah, i meant
bottle or glass?

-Bottle's fine.
-Great.

So, what time
is cameron coming over?

I have no idea.
He left the lab all
mysterious about something.

He does that sometimes.
He doesn't tell me
where he goes.

He doesn't tell you?
That's weird. I thought
you guys were friends.

Oh, we are.
We're like besties.

Really? What's he do
on the weekends?

I have no idea.

What kind of music
is he into?

-You got me.
-Is he seeing anyone?

Okay, i barely
know the guy.

-(laughs)
-jeez.

It's the same
with me and kirsten.

Look, we live together,

We went to school together,
now we work together,

And i still don't really
know that much about her.

Everyone's connected 24/7

With status updates
and texting,

But no one
is really connected.

It's sad.

It's so sad.

So very...

Very...

Unbearably sad.

Okay! Uh...

Looks like
this is all set up.

Let's light
this candle.

Yeah, let's do something.

Whoa.

That thing's drawing
a ton of power.

Yeah, let's kill the lights,
give it more juice.

Okay.

¶ till the sun goes down
and i unwind ¶

¶ i'm out looking for thrills
while you're lost in
your dreams ¶

¶ i'm spinning out of control ¶

¶ someone slow me down
bring me back again ¶

I told you i wanted
to do this alone.

Actually, you said
you needed to,

Which is pretty much
the reason i'm here.

You find out
anything from scott?

Yes.

The concierge arranged
the car that took them
to the beach.

You sure?

Yeah.

And lilly was wearing
a lot of jewelry,
she looked like a target.

Does the agency
give us an expense account?

¶ i've been working,
i've been working so hard ¶

¶ i've been losing,
i've been losing my mind ¶

I didn't know you could
max out an n.S.A. Credit card.

We have just bankrupted
the u.S. Government.

I've always liked
patek philippe watches, though.

You know you have
to return it, right?

Eh, within seven days,
assuming that your plan
doesn't get us killed.

You sure we didn't overdo it
a little? We're not
exactly subtle.

We're not trying to be subtle,
we're trying to be targets.

Mmm, i liked it
better when we were shopping.

Hi.

We're thinking of grabbing
dinner somewhere,

Maybe someplace
by the santa monica pier?

Can you call us
a cab?

Are you guests
of the hotel?

Uh, not yet.
We'll be checking in...

Later-ish.

The hotel has an account
with a car service.
I'll call them.

Sounds perfect.

You don't have to do this.

I'm not letting
you go alone.

L.A. Wheels?

Santa monica pier, please.

(phone buzzing)

You sure this is
the right place?

Yeah, just head down that way,
make a right, and you'll see it
on your right-hand side.

It doesn't make sense.

You're not
seriously complaining

Because the guy
didn't attack us?

I saw him in the stitch.
It was the same guy.

Maybe he's just
a driver?

If he was gonna rob us,
he would have.

Excuse me,
do you have the time?

Oh, yeah, sure, it's--

Don't make a sound.

Let's go.

The driver
has a partner.

Now it makes sense.

Wow.

Look at this place.

You are deceptively athletic
for someone of your stature.

-Ugh.
-Mm-hmm.

Tomorrow, you will
reflect on that comment

-And cringe.
-Ah?

Yeah.

Oh, damn.

Go, go, go.
Move, move, move.

Jewelery, now.

And the watch.

Come on, man,
not the watch!

Wear it
in good health.

You too.
Hurry up.

Is that why you killed
lilly ross? Because she
wasn't fast enough?

What?

You threw her down,
she hit her head.

Stop talking!

So, the concierge
calls the car,

The driver takes the victim
somewhere you're waiting,
and then you rob them.

I said shut up!

I don't think
he's in the mood
for chit-chat.

People spend their whole lives
trying to find someone,

To connect
with someone,

And you destroyed that.

Kirsten, stop talking.

You should listen
to your girlfriend.

Ouch.

Jewelery, now.

Now!

Michelle from
the hotel.

What is she?
Your wife? Your girlfriend?

If you turn yourself in,
maybe we can help her.

If i turn myself in,
i'll rot in prison,

And that is not happening!

-(clacks)
-(carnival music playing)

(sirens blare)

Wow.

Thunderbirds are go.

Thank you.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
i must go vomit.

What about the driver?

We put out an a.P.B.
He won't get far.

Turns out he and his
two buddies were running
the same scam for weeks.

Concierge booked the driver
for affluent hotel guests,

He dropped them off,
set up his alibi,

And his partner would rob them.

Kirsten, you were
right about scott.

I almost misread him,
but you didn't.

I had an unfair advantage.

Yeah. Residual emotions.

Good work.

And you...

Taking down a perp
by smacking him
with a bucket.

Very impressive.

Thanks.

Hey, so maybe
you and i can go
grab a beer sometime?

No.

I owe you an apology,
and a thank you.

No, you don't
owe me anything.

You're the only person
who believed that
i was innocent,

And i still don't
know why.

You know what
lilly hated about you?

Nothing.

¶ without exception,
it's a cruel world ¶

Camille:
I just can't wait
for the b-side, you know?

Totally.

Oh my god, i'm so sorry
i didn't see your text sooner.

Oh, it's fine.

It's not like we were
held at gunpoint or anything.

I'm sorry, man.
Look, it's my fault.
We were hooking up the stereo.

We were totally
hooking up...

The stereo.

What's going on
with you two?

Going on? Nothing.

Yeah, i mean, come on.
We're just a couple
of co-workers

Hanging out
in a benign social atmosphere

While occasionally discussing
job-related matters.

-I'm gonna get more beer.
-I will come with.

(giggles)

(music playing)

Um, good night, linus.

Thanks for
setting up the stereo.

Yeah, it was
very pleasurable.

I mean...

(coughs)

Well, i'm beat.

I'm gonna turn in.

¶ you got to call me, baby ¶

You gonna be okay?

Peter and julie,

And now scott and lilly.

Is this what love is?

Intense connection
and then heartbreaking loss?

Maybe.

Is it worth it?

¶ you got your limit,
baby, i have mine ¶

"'tis better to have loved
and lost than to never
have loved at all."

Tennyson.

Do you think he's right?

¶ i need you to pick up
that telephone ¶

I don't know.

But, if you figure it out,
tell me.

Hey.

You did good today, stretch.

You too, girlfriend.

¶ i need to hear
your sweet voice ¶

¶ let me, let me, let me,
let me hear you again ¶

¶ i need you,
i need you ¶

(music stops)

Kirsten?

I made you a tape.

It's a recording of me
reading three of your
favorite stories--

One for each night
for when i'm gone.

And you can play it
on my special stereo.

But, i thought you said
i wasn't allowed to use it?

Well, this time you can.

(car honks)

That's my ride.

(music box playing)

Ed: Hi, kirsten.

I'm sorry i had to leave you,

But i want you to know
that even though i'll be gone
for a while,

I'll be watching out for you.

So, tonight's story
is "sleeping beauty."

You ready?

Once upon a time,

There lived
a king and queen.

They longed very much
for a child,

And when at last,
they had a little daughter,

They were both delighted,

And great rejoicings
took place.

But...

The angry fairy confronted
the king and queen

And said,

"when the princess
is 15 years old,

"she shall prick her finger
with a spindle,

"and die."

(gasps)
