[gentle music]

Jon, what do we got to wear these suits for?

R.R. Benson.

What's an R.R. Benson?

R.R. Benson is the richest man in the city.

He loves money.

He loves no one, and no one loves him.

So what's the assignment?

Try to keep him alive.

What, is he sick?

Ah, not physically.

A man like that's got a lot of enemies.

What do you mean?

Somebody is going to try to--

Yeah.

They're going to have to get past us to do it.

What do you mean?

I mean, we're going to be his bodyguards.

Oh my God.

[gentle music]

[phone buzzes]

DOTTIE (ON SPEAKER): Mr. Benson, your two

new bodyguards are here.

You checked their IDs?

DOTTIE (ON SPEAKER): Yes, sir.

Send them in.

Well, Smith and Wesson, welcome aboard.

No, that's-- that's Smith and Gordon.

Yeah, whatever, whatever.

These are for you.

Bulletproof.

Oh, thanks, I guess.

Ah, Mr. Benson, I take it you feel someone is going to make

an attempt on your life. - What?

Who, me?

No, no.

Let-- let-- Let me put it this way.

Construction is part of my business,

and it's uncanny how lucky I am at taking

bids away from my competitors.

But just because I'm in cement, so to speak,

doesn't mean to say I want to end up wearing it,

if you get my drift.

Now, it's like insurance.

You take it out, but you don't expect to use it.

But no, no, you don't have any concern.

Mr. Benson, this one's got a hole in it.

Well you wouldn't want to wear it if it

hadn't been tested, would you?

No, I guess not.

That's using the old IQ, son.

Now, if the two of you just stick close to me

like hair on a bear and everything will be just fine.

Ah.

[laughs]

So do you think these vests are really going to work?

What do I care?

I don't need any.

[laughs] Oh.

All right, the first on the agenda is a leak at the R.R.

Benson Chemical Company.

Who's got that?

Uh, [clears throat] uh, me, sir.

Uh, who are you?

Oh, Jim White, director of public safety,

Benson Chemicals. - All right.

Why?

What's the bottom line?

Well, uh, our--

our plant is leaking approximately

3,000 gallons of toxic waste onto Sunrise Beach per day.

What should we do?

Deny it.

JIM: Deny it?

That's right, son.

Lie.

God gave you lips.

Use 'em.

Well, Mr. Benson, excuse me, but I know Sunrise Beach.

Oh.

Because of the pollution your company pumps,

people can't even swim there anymore.

I mean, before you know it, the beach will--

A good idea.

Good-- good-- good thinking, Smith.

Gray?

Yes, sir?

Now, you're in charge of publicity.

Go back in Sunrise Beach history past 50 years,

find out how many people drowned.

And if people can't swim there, they can't drown.

Now, come up with some kind of concept.

You know, mother and child, R.R. Benson Industries keeping

children out of troubled water.

You know what I mean? Good thinking, Smith.

Very good thinking.

Now, what's next?

Uh, Dave Green, community relations.

There's a delegation of tenants here to see you, sir.

They have a, uh, long list of complaints from high rents

to no heat in the buildings, rats,

bad plumbing, leaky roofs.

Yeah, where-- where are they?

In my office, sir.

Well, you keep them there.

I don't like to see the faces of people I cheated.

It's bad for my digestion.

All right, boys.

Let's go.

Now, Benson, those tenements you own, I've seen them, too.

Well, you do get around, don't you, son?

They're a disgrace.

People shouldn't have to live like that.

They should be condemned.

Condemned?

You got a Cracker Jack mind there, Smith.

They will be condemned.

I'll write off a big tax loss, have one of my other companies

snap them up dirt cheap, make a few improvements,

raise the rents, and then we start all over again.

You see, there's money to be made out of poor people.

All you got to know is how to do it.

Uh, Gordon?

Go to the underground parking area there.

That's where I'm going to meet the councilmen.

You're having a meeting in an underground parking lot?

Uh, never make a bribe in public.

That's tacky.

[gentle music]

Well, councilman, there you are.

Now, there's a property down on Third.

Uh, got some kind of garden on it.

The common ground garden?

That's right.

Now, I want that rezoned.

I got plans for that property.

Well, common ground garden is awfully

popular with the people.

Yeah, well, we make it unpopular.

Let's say that it's a hangout for drug pushers.

It'll make the streets safe for the citizens.

You bulldoze that damn thing.

If you can't handle this, I'll bribe somebody else who can.

How I ever let you get your hooks into me, I'll never know.

Well, the hook is in, and you're on it.

Now, I can either destroy you or pay you off.

It's up to you.

Maybe I should let you destroy me.

It might be worth it not to have to feel like scum.

Oh, yeah.

That's great.

I can just see your wife, and your kids,

and your grandchildren coming down to see you behind bars.

Now, take the money and get out of here.

You don't have to do this, Councilman.

You could use your power to do an awful lot of good.

The choice is yours.

That's right.

Now, you listen to my man here.

He's right.

You've got-- you've got your choice.

Of course, you won't do anybody any good behind bars.

[chuckles]

Good thinking, Smith.

These old guys, you got to give them strokes,

but he'll come around.

I think I'll start bribing younger politicians.

You know, buy them young, buy them cheap.

That's what I always say.

Well, Mr. Benson, so far today,

you've managed to guarantee the continued

pollution of a public beach.

You've sidestepped the health and safety laws

on one of your tenement buildings,

and now, you bribe a councilman, things

that affect thousands of people whose faces you never see.

So what's your point?

My point is, doesn't this mean anything to you?

And doesn't all this mean anything to all of you?

It just means that I've been working hard all day.

Time for a break.

Let's get going.

There's a cocktail party in my honor.

Let's go have a little fun!

[laughs]

[engine starts]

Get moving!

[gentle music]

Hi, baby.

Hi, Honey.

Ah.

Honey, this is Smith and Gordon here.

Boys, this is Honey.

HONEY: I was lonesome without you, baby.

Yes, I know, I know.

She loves me.

What can I tell you?

I love him.

I'm going to go over and talk to those two gents over there.

They're my partners, or at least until I buy them out.

So you guys just stay here and keep an eye

out for anybody suspicious.

Well, at least now I know what R and R stands for,

Really Rotten.

Come on, Jon, why don't we blow this assignment?

I mean, why are we trying to keep this guy alive?

Come on, Mark.

I mean it, Jon.

You spent all day long trying to get through to this guy.

You haven't made a dent.

I mean, certain people cannot be turned around, especially

with a subtle approach.

You may be right about that.

Tonight, I think we'll try the direct approach.

What do you mean?

Well, just tell him who we are, why we're here,

and it's up to him.

I tell ya, I have a feeling this just may be his last chance.

All right, boys.

That's all for tonight.

I'll see you in the morning.

Look, uh, Mr. Benson?

I'd like to talk to you for a minute.

Yeah, well, I don't care what you like.

You're working for me now, and I'm going to bed.

Well, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Benson.

We're not working for you.

What?

What is this?

What a minute.

Some kind of setup?

Who do you work for?

God.

God?

Yes, God.

My boss is God.

I'm an angel.

Oh, you had me scared there for a second.

I'll see you in the morning.

What?

How did--

I told you.

I'm an angel.

[dramatic music]

No place to run, Mr. Benson.

All right, what do you want, money?

I got money. - Come on.

I'm an angel.

You can't buy me off or rent me.

All you can do is listen.

All right, OK, I'm listening.

You just stay where you are.

We all have to choose, Mr. Benson, what kind of life

we lead.

And ultimately, we're responsible for the choices

we make.

You've made some very bad choices in your life,

but there's still time.

It's up to you the way you use it, your responsibility.

You're a kook, a couple of religious kooks.

Ah.

I don't know how you did this.

Power of suggestion, or mirrors, or a light

projector, or whatever.

You slipped me something.

That's it, isn't it? - Yeah, right.

That's what we did. Now, come on, Jonathan.

Let's get out of here.

This guy's a lost cause.

Do yourself a favor.

Mr. Benson.

Read this.

You just might learn something.

Kooks!

That's what you are, religious kooks.

I want you out of this house in the morning.

And if you're not out, I'll have you arrested!

[bible thuds]

Kooks!

[gentle music]

What the hell is going on here?

[gentle music]

Ah.

[gentle music]

[tense music]

[gun cocks]

[gun fires]

What was that?

A shot upstairs.

[dramatic music]

Stop that man!

Somebody stop him!

Where the hell have you two been?

Somebody just tried to kill me!

Thank God he missed.

He didn't miss, Mr. Benson.

The hell are you talking about?

I'm fine.

Take a look.

[dramatic music]

You see, Mr. Benson, you're dead.

[somber music]

[gentle music]

All right, this is some kind of crazy dream, huh?

OK, all right.

I-- I'll go along with that.

Does it feel like a dream, Mr. Benson?

Have you ever had a dream that felt like this before?

I-I-- I'm open to new experiences.

Yeah, well your new experience says you were just shot

in the chest at point-blank range, and that's your body

lying there. Do you understand?

Mm.

Yeah, but what's your point?

The point is you're deader than a doornail.

RICHARD: I am?

You are.

All right, all right.

Then I'm dead.

OK, and what happens now?

Judgment.

Judgment.

Well, I'm not ready for judgment.

What do you mean, you're not ready?

RICHARD: Well, I have to have time to prepare, don't I?

I mean, I have to have a lawyer, don't I?

There's got to be a lot of good lawyers

who have croaked since they began handing out parchment.

Darrow.

What's Clarence Darrow doing? No, no.

I tell you what.

I'll plead no contest.

You know, maybe that isn't such a bad idea.

Why, shoot, son.

That's a great idea.

Maybe he'll just, uh, give me a fine

and a little public service.

And well, you know what I mean.

No, no.

I wasn't talking about the lawyer.

I was talking about time to prepare.

Now, maybe it's time you saw the faces of some of the people

you've cheated and hurt just over the last week.

Well, actually, that's not what I had in mind.

Oh, I'm sure it wasn't, but that's

the way it's going to be.

It's time to go, Mr. Benson.

Go?

[gentle music]

Jonathan?

Juh-- Hey, Boss, uh, why don't you let me tag along, huh?

You know I won't get in the way.

I promise I--

Ah.

[dramatic music]

My God, it smells awful bad around here.

Hi!

Oh.

Well, that-- that answers it.

That smell is from your chemical plant, Mr. Benson.

It is?

Yeah.

Take a good look.

This beach used to be filled with families,

children playing.

There used to be fishing boats out there.

But now all there is a sludge.

Well, there's more than one fish in the sea.

What's the big deal?

Where are you going to buy another ocean, Mr. Benson?

Once you turn this one into a sewer,

where do you get another one?

Go on, take a closer look.

Not a pretty sight, is it?

You know, you sit up there in your corporate offices.

Instead of coming up with a solution,

you come up with a PR campaign.

Well, here's the real bottom line,

Mr. Benson, a piece of your planet that you poisoned.

This is only the beginning.

We've just begun.

[gentle music]

[dramatic music]

Look at the way these people live.

You can't blame this on me.

- Oh, really? - Yeah.

They're deadbeats.

They want to live this way.

Nobody wants to live like this.

Go on, take a look at the baby's arm.

See the bandages?

They're from rat bites.

They can't use the toilet in their own apartment

because the plumbing doesn't work.

They can't drink the water because there's

rust in the pipes.

And when they come to you, when they

beg you to do some repairs, you send out your goons

to threaten, or you hire your lawyers to stall them

with red tape and hearings.

But I-I-I run a business, not a welfare office.

These people aren't my problem.

Oh, you know how kids turn out who

are raised in places like this?

I was a cop, pal.

When these kids grow up, get their strength,

then they mug you.

Well, then you go screaming to the cops.

Then it is your problem.

And they're supposed to solve that problem 20 years

after you plant the seeds.

Nobody put a gun to their head.

They don't have to rent here!

They don't have any choice!

Not their choices, Mr. Benson.

They were yours to make and you made them.

It's time to go.

Go where?

To see some more of your accomplishments.

[dramatic music]

What place is this?

Ah, it used to be just a vacant lot full

of trash and garbage till that woman came along.

Now, it's the common ground garden.

The one you bribed the councilman to get rid of.

Now, you come here every day after school,

and I'll show you how to take care of these.

And then, uh, when they grow up, you can keep them.

For keeps?

Well, sure.

You're the one who's going to grow them.

You're the one who's doing the work.

That's neat.

Yeah.

What do you want to grow?

Carrots.

Carrots?

OK, we can grow carrots.

How about some tomatoes?

OK.

OK?

And some lettuce?

OK.

- It's just amazing, huh? - Yeah.

It's amazing!

Take a good look, Mr. Benson.

There's someone using her talent to be part of the solution.

They don't just grow vegetables and flowers here.

They grow friendships and self-respect.

What's in it for her?

The joy of giving.

I don't understand.

You wouldn't, Mr. Benson.

You've never tried.

Ms. Kate Larson?

Yes, that's right.

Dan Perkins.

I'm from the City Zoning Commission.

I'm sorry, but the council has decided to rescind your permit.

We're going to rezone this block.

Why would you rescind our permit?

Oh, we've heard about drug dealers on this premises.

KATE: [chuckles] Do these people look

like drug dealers, Mr. Perkins?

I can only tell you what the council has heard.

From whom?

From the people who work for R.R. Benson?

It is R.R. Benson, isn't it?

If I could only talk to him.

Save your breath.

The slime doesn't have ears.

Oh, slime.

Huh.

Yeah, not very nice.

I know he's sore because he knows it's a payoff

and he's not in on it.

Time to go.

All right by me.

I don't like crummy neighborhoods.

[upbeat music]

Oh.

Now, this is more like it.

There's, uh, or what's her name?

I thought her name was Honey.

Yeah, Honey, Sweetheart.

I can't keep track of them all, you know?

[humming]

She looks happy.

Probably hasn't heard about my untimely demise yet.

Oh, yes, she has.

That's why she looks so happy.

Don't give me that, smart-alecky angel.

That girl loves me.

She worships the ground I walk on.

Here you go.

Thank you, Honey.

Oh, Johnny.

I'm so glad he's finally dead.

It's been hell just seeing you whenever he was too

busy to see me this past year.

This past year?

She's been seeing him the whole time?

A cheap tramp.

How long do you think it'll take before we get the money?

Not long, darling.

My lawyer's filing the palimony suit against his estate

tomorrow.

We'll take him for every cent they've got.

Well, I'm sh-shocked at--

after all I did for that bimbo.

Time to go, Mr. Benson.

Well, where are we going now?

To meet your maker.

No.

No, no.

No, no, no.

Listen.

Give me another chance.

To do what?

At-- at life, to-- to-- to do it different, to do it the way

I should have all along.

I'm sorry.

It's a little late for that now.

No, it isn't.

It can't be.

Sure it can.

You're dead.

Remember?

I-- uh, it-- it's not for me.

Uh, f-for-- for the sake of the people that I've hurt.

Uh, the people that I've cheated.

Please!

Please.

Even if I believed you, I don't

have the power to do that.

It's time to go.

Please.

Please, one more chance.

I'll do it right this time, I swear it.

[phone buzzes]

DOTTIE (ON SPEAKER): Mr. Benson?

Your two new bodyguards are here.

What?

Your new bodyguards, Smith and Gordon.

I've already checked their IDs.

He did it.

He did it.

DOTTIE (ON SPEAKER): Shall I send them in, sir?

Yes.

Send them in.

Jonathan, I can't thank you enough.

I can't.

Mark, thank you.

Now, just save it.

If it was up to me, you'd be on a spit.

- [chuckles] - Look, this wasn't our idea.

It was the boss's.

He's decided to let you live the last week of your life over

again. - Another week?

That's fine. That's fine.

I'll take it.

It's a deal.

Tell Him it's a deal.

Look, I want you to understand exactly what's happening here,

Mr. Benson.

Yeah, I understand completely.

It's another chance to good this week and all is forgiven.

Wrong.

Wrong?

Yeah, wrong.

All he's giving you is a chance to live the last week

of your life over again.

Seven days from now, at exactly 10 minutes

after 1:00 in the morning, no matter what happens,

it's all over.

You mean--

Bang.

But, uh, it's a--

well, seven days, ah, that's nothing.

Hey, the boss made the whole world in seven days.

Yes, but I've--

I've been sinning for 40 years now.

I can't undo 40 years of sinning in just seven days.

That's right.

You can't.

And you can't buy your way into heaven, either, Mr. Benson.

Seven days from now, you'll stand

in judgment, just like before.

[phone buzzes]

DOTTIE (ON SPEAKER): You have a conference

in five minutes, Mr. Benson.

Thank you.

All right.

You give him back your life and find out

it's only going to be seven days long.

Hey, flies only live for two.

That's a lot of comfort, Mark.

Shall we go?

[gentle music]

RICHARD: Dottie?

Cancel any appointments I have for next week.

[gentle music]

All right, Boyd.

What's the bottom line?

Well, uh, R.R., the, uh, plant is leaking

approximately 3,000 gallons of toxic waste

onto Sunrise Beach per day.

What should we do?

Mr. Benson?

Sir?

W-what do we do?

Deny it.

BOYD: Deny it?

Why?

That's why God gave you lips.

Right, R.R.?

[chuckles]

Wrong.

Wrong?

Don't deny it.

We don't?

No, we don't deny it.

We admit it.

Admit it?

That's brilliant!

We don't deny it.

They just find us out.

We admit it, then say we're going to institute

a study, a two-year study.

Then we'll have to review the findings.

We can stall them on this thing for years.

[laughs] You're the best, R.R.

I've got a better idea.

No, this is good because the man's a genius,

I tell ya, a genius.

What is it, R.R.?

We fix it.

Fix what, R.R.?

The lake.

We fix the lake.

MAN: We do?

Right.

You heard why.

We've been dumping 3,000 gallons of toxic sludge

on Sunrise Beach every day.

Well, we don't want to do that.

We don't?

No, we don't.

It kills the fish and the birds, and people can't swim there.

It poisons the planet now, son.

You don't want to do that, do you?

Well, it's just an eensy-weensy little

piece of the planet, R.R.

Well, when you lose an ocean, where are

you going to buy another one?

I mean, you turn it into a sewer,

where are you going to get another one?

No.

Oh, we got to fix it.

We're going to fix it and clean up that whole area.

Now, Green, you have a delegation

of tenants in your office with a long list of complaints

about their apartments?

H-how did you know?

Because that's where I'd be if I lived in one of those things,

camping right on your office doorstep with

a mile-long list of complaints.

Gordon, up till now, you don't like, uh,

the way I do business, do you?

Not even a little bit.

Well, if you owned those buildings,

what would you do with them?

Sell them.

That's absurd!

Nobody would buy those buildings in the shape they're in.

Sell them to the tenants.

Let them fix them up.

There's got to be carpenters, plumbers, electricians

living in those buildings.

Let them fix them up.

MAN: Half of them are out-of-work deadbeats.

Now, that's good thinking.

Good thinking, Gordon.

Find the tenants who have building skills

and know how to work.

Put them on a payroll.

Put them on a payroll fixing up their own apartments.

Well, what about the ones who don't have any skills?

If they want to learn building skills,

put them on as trainees.

Take the rent they've paid up till now.

Put it toward a fair down payment.

When a fellow has something that he owns,

he's a lot less likely to break it.

We're talking about welfare mothers with tons of kids.

Maybe-- maybe we could set up a child care center right there

in the building, employ some of the mothers to run it and give

on-the-job training to those who'd want to do something

other than child care.

That's using the old IQ, son.

Now, there are government programs

that can help with this.

A lot of good minds in this company.

Let's start using them to solve problems and stop

denying that they exist.

Now, you get on that, Krauss.

But-- but--

I said shake a leg, Krauss.

Time's a-wastin'.

Do you know if you are a fly that your life would

be one-quarter over right now?

Get moving!

Let's go, boys.

I've got a councilman I've got to see.

You know, uh, Councilman, I--

Sure.

But what's that?

Your money.

I've told my family everything.

Are you kidding?

No, I'm not kidding.

For the first time in years, I was

honest with my wife and kids.

They know everything.

And I'll tell you something, Benson,

they're going to stand by me no matter

what because they love me.

Now, you can try your damnedest to destroy me,

but you can't because I've got family,

and that's the real power.

Yeah, damn right it is.

Councilman, you're a lucky man.

You've got a second chance now.

Don't blow it.

People don't love you and need you

because you have a big house, or cars, or boats, or whatever.

They just need you, and I'm proud of you,

and I'm proud of your family.

You mean that?

You bet your life I do.

And don't worry about me, uh, changing my mind next week.

Go on.

Get out of here.

OK.

OK.

There goes a really rich man.

Ms. Larson?

Ms. Kate Larson?

That's right.

Do I know you?

Uh, no, no.

Uh, but I hope that I might get to know you.

Well, you're off to a good start.

You know my name.

What's yours?

Uh, Benson.

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Benson.

I'm R.R. Benson.

Ah, the slime without ears.

Who are these, your goons?

Look--

Look, just let me tell you a thing or two, Mr. Benson.

If you think you're going to bulldoze this garden,

you've got another thing coming.

Well, actually I came down here

to see what I could do to help.

And I'll fight you tooth and nail on this rezoning issue.

You won't have to.

This is not going to be rezoned.

What?

Are you trying to threaten me?

That strong-- what do you mean there won't be any rezoning?

It's just that I think that you are doing a great job here.

I came down to offer my support and my help.

But if you don't need any assistance, then

perhaps you can help me.

To do what?

Well, set up more of these common ground gardens,

for example.

I have a lot of, uh, vacant lots around the city.

They could become places like this, you know,

where people don't just grow vegetables,

but friendships as well.

What's the catch?

No catch, but I am in a hurry.

I'm a little pressed for time, as they say.

How's your schedule this week?

My schedule?

Well, I could always change it.

Good.

Good.

I'd like to meet some of the people here.

I have a feeling this is going to be quite a week.

OK, let's go.

Come on.

Hey, guys!

[upbeat music]

[cheering]

All right, let's go to work!

[applauding]

Boy, she is really something else, isn't she?

So are you.

All right.

Thank you, Mark.

That's high praise coming from you.

I just didn't realize this could be so much fun.

What?

Life, feeling, life.

You know, you feel so good when you're doing something that--

that matters, that really matters.

I didn't realize there's so much you could do each day.

You didn't realize you could fall in love in a week, either.

Didn't you?

That, too.

You tell her yet?

Tonight.

You know, I have, uh, done a very

good job of wasting my life.

Jonathan, isn't there something that, uh--

you know, I've learned my lesson.

There's so much that I could do.

Isn't there--

I'm sorry.

Well, I'm not sorry.

How about that?

[laughs] I hate to see it end, but I wouldn't trade these

past seven days for all of--

plenty.

Well, let's get on home there, and I got a sunset

I want to watch and I have a dinner date with a lovely lady

tonight.

[somber music]

Jonathan, you're sure there's nothing?

I'm sure.

[somber music]

[gentle music]

Hey, this is supposed to be a romantic dinner.

What's all this stuff?

Business.

Important business.

Well it can wait, can't it?

Hey, I don't have any air.

- Richard, what are you-- - No.

--talking about?

Let me-- let me finish now.

- Are you ill? - No.

Is something wrong?

What?

I'm s-- I'm setting up a foundation to oversee what

material wealth I have, and I want you to be

the head of that foundation.

I-I know you have a good heart, and you're honest,

and you're bright, and you will see that the money is

put to good use.

- Richard, will you please-- - No,

No, no. --tell me what's--

No, no, no, no.

I'm also going to appoint you to the boards of the companies

that I own, and that way, you can ride herd on the boys

and make sure that they, uh, are on the right track.

See, Kate, I don't have too much longer to live.

No.

No. Something--

- Kate. - Some--

Kate, I love you, and that will never die,

and it will be with you as long as you wish it.

And all of the good work that we have started together,

you will see to it that that won't die.

(CRYING) That's not fair.

Maybe.

It's not fair.

These past seven days, I've had more than I've ever

had any reason to hope for.

I've had beauty.

I've had meaningful work.

And I've had love.

Now, that's an awful lot.

Isn't it, darling girl?

Richard, I love you.

I want a life with you.

I don't want you to go.

Well, I wish I had known years ago what I know now.

But these past few days that we've had together, I--

I wouldn't trade anything in the whole world for it,

not even just a particle of it.

So I'm trusting you, Kate, with the best

that's in me, with the only good that I've ever done, and with--

with the only love that I've ever known.

So don't you waste any time with regrets.

Life is too short.

Let me hold you, Kate.

Ah.

Oh, so sweet.

Life, so sweet.

[gentle music]

[somber music]

Well, uh, I guess it's just about quitting time, huh?

What do I-- just go upstairs then and wait?

Yeah.

Mr. Benson.

Yeah?

MARK: Good luck.

Thank you.

Thank you both.

I'm really sorry that you two fellas didn't come into my life

sooner.

[gentle music]

[sighs]

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

[gentle music]

[dramatic music]

[gun cocks]

[gun fires]

[dramatic music]

I got him!

I'll check on Benson.

[dramatic music]

Mr. Benson, are you all right?

Uh, I'm alive.

Look, Mark caught the guy outside.

Are you sure you're OK?

Jonathan, why am I alive?

Did the-- did the boss change his mind?

Um, do I get more than seven days, or--

S-seven days?

I don't know what you're talking about, seven days.

I'm talking about the deal.

The boss gave me this whole last week over again.

I mean, you know.

You're the one who told me.

Well, Mr. Benson, uh, the last thing

I said before you fired us and went to bed was,

"Do yourself a favor and read that book."

[gentle music]

Now at the time, I didn't realize what a

favor it would turn out to be.

Well, then this past week, all the projects, Kate,

it was a dream?

Guy, I still don't know what you're talking about.

RICHARD: Didn't you give me the dream?

No.

Then the boss gave it to me?

And He also gave me this.

He gave that book to everyone.

Yeah, but it didn't stop a bullet for everyone.

Don't you see?

He's-- He's given me my life.

He never took it.

Jon, this is not a dream now.

Now how-- how much time do I have?

Well, how much time has he given me?

For-- for real.

How long do I have?

The same as you always had.

You could live five minutes or 50 years, just like anyone.

Just like everyone.

Oh, boy, I'll make it count.

It's going to be every second of every day.

And if you and your friend Mark want to hang around here,

keep your eyes open, because you're going to have

a lot of kids this coming week.

[gentle music]

Ms. Larson?

Ms. Kate Larson?

That's right.

Do I know you?

Ah, no, no.

Uh, but I hope that I might get to know you.

Well, you're off to a good start.

Well.

You know my name.

What's yours?

Uh, Benson.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Benson.

Ma'am, you don't know the half of it, but you will.

By heaven, you will.
