Original subtitles

There are some things in the world of sport that mere words can't really

describe.

The beauty of form and motion.

The symmetry of style.

The ineffable grace of balance and poise.

It takes a rare performer to bring these things together all at once.

It

takes

a great athlete or...

A guy with tomorrow's newspaper.

Sarah! Sarah, look out!

Sarah!

Watch carefully.

The approach.

It's easy, doesn't it?

Face it. When it comes down to the intangible,

some of us have it and some of us don't.

All in all, I'll give it a 10.

Sorry,

the hallway's closed. Oh, I see. Just go back to the stairway you came from.

That'd be great. This way's closer. Well, yeah, I know, but it's not going

really take a few extra steps. So if you would, please, I would appreciate it.

Not sure.

Kind

of

a nut plant's a bomb in a building full of...

Let's show up.

Whoa, everybody hold back. Stay right where you are. Everyone go back. Just

Stop. What's going on, man? I gotta get home. I know, and I'm sorry for the

inconvenience. No one can go in the hallway. You can just go back around to

back stairwell. What's the big deal?

It's not safe.

So, what's going on?

I'm not sure, really.

Some guy won't let anyone through since it's always not safe.

If you won't go home, would you at least please go back around the corner? Come

on, people. It's very important that we clear the hallway immediately.

Dark hair.

Average build. About six feet.

Yeah,

now that you mention it. I know him.

If he says we should head back around the corner, we should definitely head

around the corner.

Listen, tell me, would you... Look, if you won't go home with me, please go

around the corner. See you later.

Would you just go back?

Would you just go back?

No one's telling me I can't go. No, I'm telling you you can't go, so just...

Excuse me.

What is going on here? Dr. Price?

Yes? Can I talk to you?

Stay there.

A bomb?

In my office? Well, I called the bomb spot and they're on their way, so

nothing to worry about. You saw it?

You were in my office?

Well, no, I wasn't in your office, no.

Then how do you know it's in there?

Well, that's kind of hard to explain.

Try.

Hey, if this door's safe, how come he gets to be down there?

Listen... Hey!

Don't open that!

Yeah, you're freeing me a little bit, that's it. Oh, gosh, Gary, I wish you'd

stop taking such risks. Don't. I'm going to be fine.

Hey, does the paper say if the police have any idea who planted the bomb?

They're following various leads.

That doesn't make sense. I mean, who would want to kill Dr. Price?

I don't know. Apparently she provides testimony to the DA's office in insanity

cases.

Someone's holding a grudge.

You know anything about this woman at all?

No, I mean, I've had class with her for a few weeks now, but from the way she

works with me, I can tell she's a pretty good person. Marissa, wait up.

I'm glad I caught up with you.

Jeffrey.

I'm sorry, I'm Jeffrey Cray.

Gary. I'm in Dr.

Price's class with Marissa. Nice to meet you, man. You were really something

back there.

Right time, right place kind of deal.

I don't know how you could be so calm. I mean, I was way down the hall and I'm

still shaking.

If you hadn't been there, there's no telling how many people.

Tiffy, is there something that you wanted?

Yeah.

Well, to be honest, help with my grades.

You seem to understand what we're talking about in class.

I thought maybe if you weren't too busy, we could get together and study

sometime. Sure.

Would you mind if we studied at my place? I mean, it'd be easier. And I'm

with work tomorrow, about four. So after that, I'm free.

Is seven too late?

Seven's fine.

Don't forget your books.

You'll be doing all the reading.

Yes, ma 'am.

All right, so I'll see you tomorrow at 7.

Where do you live?

3211 Chestnut.

All right.

Do you want me to bring a pizza or something?

That's okay.

I think I can whip something up.

What are you looking at?

A date.

This guy definitely had more than studying on his mind, trust me.

I mean, how well do you know this guy? Did you talk to him before?

Sometimes before class, a little after class, and we sat next to each other, so

it always stands to reason.

I mean, what do you know about this guy? Well, I mean, he seems intelligent and

friendly. I'm not in a pushy way.

He's got a nice voice.

Nice voice?

Oh, yes, he's got a very nice voice. I've heard it myself. Really? And what

he look like? Oh, he's a nice -looking guy. Little squat, hunchback, big ears.

Very large ears.

Clapping around like Dumbo, like, you know. Top.

Dr.

Price poisoned strychnine salad dressing at lunchtime.

I hated college.

Deadlines, term papers, crammed study sessions.

Stupid touch football games.

Dorm food.

Communal showers.

Toilets with no doors.

Waking up in the middle of the night, drunk.

In the parking lot, naked. I remember that.

You know what?

Since we have graduated, I do not even remotely miss anything.

About college.

I stand corrected.

You know what, Gary?

You've got a lot of work to do, and I'd just be getting into your hair, so I'll

tell you what.

Why don't we meet back here and say, what, 40 minutes? No, meet me at the

cafeteria. 40 minutes.

I'll buy you lunch. All right.

All right.

I'll meet you. Yes. I'll meet you. All right.

I wouldn't do that. What do you think you... Wait a minute.

I remember you.

You disappeared before I had a chance to talk to you last night. Well, sorry

about that. I had things to do.

And today, more things to do?

Something like that.

Would you like to tell me about it?

Somebody ate me and your salad dressing on a drink night.

That's pretty much it.

I was almost... killed last night. Oh, yes, I know. But, Jill, you thought that

I might enjoy your macabre sense of humor today.

This is not humor.

Give me that bottle.

I'm going to have the contents tested.

You do realize, of course, that if there is Strychnine in there, you're going to

have some explaining to do.

Well,

there's not much more I can tell you, so... I do not like having my life

threatened.

I'm going to find out what's going on.

Lady, I hope you do.

Hey, Garrett!

Garrett! Whoa!

How'd it go? Huh? It went fine.

Done already, huh? Yeah.

I'll have everything go with you.

Oh, well.

My friend, it went better than fine.

Good, that's good.

What are you doing?

You think you can keep yourself entertained while I get dressed?

Jeffrey Craig.

Apple.

Will Trapper.

And we also have this.

89.

Very good year.

You can actually film it?

No, but the reaction's always worth it when I get it right.

Man, it smells good up in here.

Oh, um, old family recipe, nothing special.

But, uh, I thought maybe we'd eat before we hit the books.

She cooks, too.

In one of the most extreme statements of environmental determinism, John B.

Watson, the founder of behaviorism, said, Give me a dozen healthy infants,

-formed, in my own specified world to bring them up in, and I'll guarantee to

take anyone at random and train them to become any type of specialist I might

select. This guy's joking, right?

He can't be saying we all become who we are because of where we are.

Well, pretty much.

Behaviors believe that our environment controls almost all aspects of our

behavior.

Okay.

Two brothers.

Go to the same school, eat the same food, grow up in the same house.

When they get a little older, one of them pulls a string of stupid stunts.

Spends ten years bouncing in and out of jail.

The other doesn't.

He knows there's a better way.

How do you explain that?

It's the same environment, totally different outcomes.

I don't know, Jeff.

See, that's the kind of stuff that got me interested in psychology.

What got you interested?

My grandmother, I think.

She taught me that we can sometimes help by just being good listeners.

My friends, Gary and Chuck, they say I'm a natural counselor.

Have you known Gary a long time?

A couple years.

Hey, why don't I, um, get her some more coffee, huh?

Nah, it's just late. I should get going.

Oh, you don't have to get up. I can show myself out. Okay.

Well, hey, thanks for everything.

I hope we can get together again sometime.

Two.

I'd like that.

Night.

Then what?

Then he left.

Come on.

Come on, Chuck. It was a steady date.

Oh, so the dude shows up with a bottle of wine for a study date. He was just

being polite.

He's well -bred. He was just being a nice guy.

Oh, sure. Whatever you think.

So what about you and this girl on campus?

As a matter of fact, we have a study date this afternoon.

Oh. And I don't mind telling either of you that there happens to be a mutual

attraction between the two of us.

Oh, good for you, Chuck.

Hobson's resident?

Give me that.

Hold on, please.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Tim.

Sure I can do that?

Okay. Bye.

Here.

What was that about?

This is your Dr. Price. She wants to meet me after school tonight.

Did she say why?

Isn't it obvious?

No.

Gary saved your life. Twice. He's her hero. Her knight in shining armor.

Trust me.

Love is in the air.

Hmm.

A bird splattered on a window.

Let's try another one.

Wouldn't this be easier if we weren't sitting in different zip codes?

I know.

Rules.

I have a very good feeling about you, Chuck. I think it's time we move on to

next level.

My sentiments exactly.

Good.

How about dinner?

Excuse me? You know, a social ritual taken on by members of the opposite sex,

often referred to as a date.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of the PMME index.

Do they have a nice wine list?

It's just that my work here is so important to me, and you have done so

I just wouldn't want to complicate things.

Oh, no, I wouldn't want to do that either.

I'm sure you can understand that, a man of your sensitivity.

Oh, absolutely.

So, shall we?

Fire away.

Question one.

At what age did you have your first sexual experience?

Hmm.

Dr. Bright. Gary, come in.

I see you've, uh, you moved.

Well, I couldn't very well work in my office, could I?

Please, sit down.

As you can probably imagine, the stress of the past couple of days has weighed

heavily on my mind.

Yes, I can imagine.

It's only since this morning that I was able to depersonalize what's been

happening and look at things with a clinical eye.

That's a good thing.

Yes, it is.

And that led to my asking you here.

Like I said, I think I've told you pretty much everything.

I am a psychologist.

Therefore, I view everything that's said here as strictly confidential.

But you have to trust me.

Trust that I can help. I've had extensive experience working with people

much like yourself.

You're a troubled man, Gary.

But I think I can help.

I think that we can work through this together without further police

involvement. What police? There have been no breaks in the case. I think we

know why.

We do?

laced with strychnine, just as you said.

When did you do it? While it was in the fridge in the psych department?

Don't think that. You knew about the bomb. You knew about the dressing. It's

textbooks.

I once counseled a firefighter who deliberately set places. Listen, what I

you can't find any textbooks. I want you to think about this carefully.

As I said to you yesterday, I won't tolerate having my life threatened.

You can either cooperate with me, or I will file charges.

Now, wait a second, Doc.

No, no, no. Sam, not your problem. I didn't put poison in your salad

and I didn't plant any bombs. I mean, I didn't... Did you hear that?

What?

Would it have hurt him to call and say thanks for the spaghetti?

Who is it?

Jeffrey Craig.

I hope I'm not bothering you.

Oh, no. Come on in.

Well, I shouldn't. It's late.

I just wanted to say thanks.

I had a nice time.

Oh. Well, you're welcome. But you didn't have to come all the way over here to

say that.

No.

Well, there's something I wanted to give you.

Really?

What is it?

of hours with Jensen yesterday, and my eyes have been opened. It finally dawned

on me. But all the women that I have dated in the past have been lacking.

Taste.

Honey, you feel better now? You got that out of your system?

A little bit. No, I was referring to maturity.

They have no depth.

They can't see beyond the trappings of life.

The baubles.

The baubles?

Yeah, you know, like, what restaurant are we going to?

What kind of car do you drive? What kind of life insurance policy do you carry?

See, Jensen is not like that. She's completely different.

Do you know we sat for two hours yesterday just talking?

Talking?

And you know what we talked about?

Me. Chuck Fishman. And not the superficial stuff either. Deep,

that have... What are you doing?

I'm tying my shoe.

I'm going to meet Marissa and Jeffrey for lunch. I am trying to tell you a

here. Yeah?

Oh, I thought this was an assignment for class.

Yeah, it started out as an assignment for class, but obviously it has evolved.

Evolved? Into something much deeper.

Matter of fact, she told me that today we're going to go to the next level.

The next level? Yeah.

Just thinking about it, my skin, it gets all tingly.

Still growing up, you know what I did?

Seeing what went on, you know, you just get to a place where it takes a lot to

scare you.

Tough guy, huh?

Yeah, that's what I thought until I tried coming back to school.

I thought I was the only one.

I was petrified of going back to school.

You? Absolutely terrified. I mean, you wouldn't believe the excuses that I came

up with.

Well, I think you and I better stick together.

Oh.

See, I'm back.

You know,

I gotta get out of here.

Hey, I'm glad you could join us. Good to see you again.

And you.

I'll talk to you later.

Take care.

I like him.

He seems nice enough. Did he have to kiss your hand? What's that?

I really like him, Gary.

I mean, I... I don't know how I'm supposed to act or I don't remember what

supposed to do.

You look to me like you're doing just fine.

You're my friend. You have to say that. Oh, I don't have to say that.

Look, you know what's going on.

You talk to him and you be honest.

I'll think about it.

You know, this isn't exactly what I pictured when you said that it was time

take our relationship to the next level.

Well, you're the only one of my subjects who made it to phase three of the

experiment.

I knew there was something special about you.

What about dinner?

Soon as we're through with the session. Deal?

Deal. Okay. Now, I'm going to ask you a series of multiple choice questions.

Depending on your answer, you're either going to A, feel nothing at all, or

you're going to feel a small correction.

Sure. Whatever you say.

You like Italian food? I understand that you're free to leave whenever you want.

I know this great new place just opened downtown. A friend of mine owns it. You

ready?

Fire away.

You're at a stoplight.

In the car next to you, an attractive woman looks at you and smiles.

This means, A, she finds you attractive, B, she's admiring your car, or C, she

just heard something funny on the radio.

A, she finds me attractive.

B,

she's admiring my car.

Easy on the juice.

Interesting.

You're shopping in a department store. A saleswoman laughs at all your jokes.

This means, A, all your jokes are funny. B, she finds you attractive.

C, she's just trying to earn a healthy commission.

B.

You can do this.

Marissa. Hi.

Did I forget something? Were we supposed to study?

No.

Because you got your books with you. Oh, um, we're a library.

May I come in for a minute?

I'm sorry. Yeah, sure. Come on in.

Get you anything to drink?

Something wrong?

Oh, just taking it all in.

I like it.

Thank you, dear.

Thank you, dear. Sure.

I'm actually doing some renovations for the landlord.

For some extra bucks.

Place is kind of a mess.

Nice.

Contemporary.

What color is it?

A chair?

Green.

I think.

I'm colorblind.

How do you like that?

Something else we have in common.

So, what does bring you here?

Glass of water.

You asked me if I wanted something to drink.

One glass of water coming up.

I thought maybe we could, um, we could talk.

About what?

Class?

Um, no, uh, I don't know.

I mean, um, I thought we could talk about us.

There you go.

One glass of water. Thank you.

So...

Us, huh?

Look, I'm sorry if I'm making a big deal out of something I shouldn't, but...

What?

I get this feeling.

What?

It's like the more time I spend with you, the more time I want to spend with

you.

Is that a good thing?

I don't know.

That depends on you.

Anything else I can clear up?

No, that'll be fine.

But it's getting late and I should be going.

Sure? Yeah.

Let me get my books.

Pictures?

It's a hobby of mine.

Photography.

Oh. What do you shoot?

Landscapes, mostly.

I bet they're beautiful.

Do you need any help?

No, I'm okay.

Let me call your cat.

Oh, no, that's okay.

I'm fine, thank you.

Sorry for coming by without calling.

I'm glad you did.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

Nice bike.

Oh, not again. I just need a minute.

Is there another theory about me, or are you still waiting for a confession?

No, I've just been to the police. I spoke to a detective, Crumb, who told me

should trust you.

And do you?

No, but frankly, I have no choice.

I've been through all the files of all the cases I've testified in, and I'm at

dead end.

So, will you help me?

Please. Okay.

Marissa.

Hey, Chuck.

Hey. Beautiful day, isn't it?

Not really.

What's wrong with you?

You seem different.

I feel different.

I feel great, actually.

You know, Chuck, I think I'm... Don't say it.

Why?

Love hurt, that's why.

You got burned.

I got burned?

I had minor skin irritation.

How could you tell?

It was a figure of speech, Chuck.

I mean, she dumped you. Listen, sister.

If anybody dumped anybody, it was me dumping her. You understand?

Okay, okay.

But I thought you were... Don't get me started.

She treated me like Pavlov's dog.

She had me salivating to take her out on a date. Well, I don't think she ever

really wanted to go out with me in the first place.

You know what?

It's too late now, anyway.

She missed her chance.

Let her ring somebody else's bell. We are through.

Guess you told her, huh?

Damn straight.

Bike majors.

They're all crazy.

Present company excluded, of course. Of course.

Listen, I have to go meet Jeffrey now, so I'll see you later.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are these?

Oh, they're pictures I picked up by mistake when I was at Jeffrey's house.

going to return them to him now. Really? Yeah.

A little strange, don't you think?

Strange? What's strange?

What is he, some kind of voyeur or something?

What are you talking about, Chuck?

You know what these are pictures of? Yeah, they're landscape pictures.

No, they're not. They're pictures of Gary and me and some woman.

A little bizarre.

Hey, I was starting to think I was in the wrong place.

Sorry, I guess I lost track of time.

Something wrong?

No, I think it's fine.

Maybe we should forget about studying tonight.

Everything's closed up.

We look kind of tired. We can always get together.

I found those in my book.

There's no harm done.

Isn't my best work anyway.

Did you show them to anyone?

I wanted to, to get an objective opinion, see if you're any good.

But I couldn't find anyone.

All right, all right.

Let's sit.

Can you describe them to me?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Well, um, uh, there's one of the Wrigley building, and, um...

Well, it's kind of blurry because I used a slow -speed shutter, and I didn't

have a tripod.

And this one is a sun rising off Lake Michigan.

The water's reflecting the sky like a mirror. There's a little sun flare in

lens.

And the last one, lightning, looking alive,

magical, dangerous all at the same time.

Sounds nice.

You're right, though. I am tired.

I gotta go. Come on, Blake.

I can't let you do that.

We'll just run to Gary.

There's nowhere you can go, Marissa.

What exactly are you looking for?

Somebody I might have seen.

Campus, near your office, cafeteria.

Well, you've looked at everyone now.

Everyone I've ever testified against who's either been paroled or released.

Recognize anyone?

It's in that box up there.

Oh, those are the ones who are still behind bars.

Do you mind if I take a look at that?

Be my guest. But you're wasting your time.

And mine.

We have those pictures.

Can we talk about this?

You planted the bomb, didn't you?

In the pictures.

Oh, my God.

I can explain.

You did.

You did.

Enough.

Wait a second. Who's this?

Hmm?

Who is this?

He died in prison three weeks ago, murdered by another inmate. No, no, him.

Oh, my God.

That's his brother.

He's in one of my classes.

Why didn't I see it?

I'm calling the police.

Where are you going?

The auditorium.

I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Please go away, Jeffrey.

I do care about you, Marissa.

It's just that things have gotten a little complicated.

Complicated? You used me, Jeffrey.

No, not entirely.

See, I had to. It doesn't mean that I was... I don't know.

All right, then, Jeffrey, if you care for me, please let me go.

I can't.

Not until I've finished what I started.

I'm sorry, Marissa.

Be careful, Gary. He's here.

Where?

I don't know, Gary. Can't you see him?

Can you see him?

Jeffrey, I know what this is about.

That's your brother, Bobby.

You know, he died in prison. That wasn't Dr. Price's fault.

Look, Jeffrey, it's not her fault. You know that.

Don't you?

It wasn't yours either.

You need to know that.

Jeffrey, what are you doing?

I'm not going to help anyone.

You've got to believe me. Let us help you.

Please.

Two brothers.

They go to the same school.

Hang for his mistake.

Right in here, officer.

Hold it right there.

I'm sorry.

You, uh, want some company?

Sure.

Not a lot of laughs, though.

That's all right. I'll just... I'll just sit down here with you.

What's the view like?

You know, it's, uh...

It's big.

A lot of lights.

Towers.

Elle sort of weaves through it like a ribbon.

It's funny how you can feel alone among all those people.

You're not alone.

I'm not sorry either.

I mean, you can't be sorry for your feelings.

Even if it turns out to be wrong, can you?

No.

What are you guys doing?

Having a party?

Where you been?

Where have I been?

I've been reading about myself and her senior thesis.

It's all over campus.

What's the title?

Tell her.

The Self -Deception in the American Male.

You find that amusing?

A little.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

Celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Friendship. And the fact that if it hadn't been for you two in the last year

so, that I, uh... Well, I wouldn't have, uh... Thank you. You're

welcome.

Can we go to the racetrack? No.

How about we buy some lottery tickets?

Why don't you tell me what the cops are going to do? No, I'm not going to tell

you anything.

Go away.

So,

there

you have it.

When you think about it, what more can anyone ask?

A couple of friends you can count on, a place to rest your head, and every

morning, the future.

waiting just outside your door.

Life is good, my friends.

Trust me, life is good.

Who are your favorite writers?

John Grisham? Thomas Hardy? William Golding? Whoever they are, Hallmark

their best -selling novels to the screen.

Fiction to Film Week begins on Monday here on Hallmark.

And next this afternoon, meet one of Perry Mason's old flames as he takes on

case of The Lost Love.
