Thank you.

What's in your pack?

Hey! I just want to look.

I swear I'll pound you.

Got some good stuff here.

Hey! Nice hat. Give it back. You first.

Sorry. It was an accident.

Hey!

Sorry. It was an accident.

Freak.

Where are you going?

Where do you think?

Don't. I'll get somebody to get it.

You can't climb a tree.

It's not safe.

What a wuss.

A 13 -year -old boy broke his back when
he fell from a tree in Lincoln Park

yesterday. The tree had been scheduled
for trimming by the city, but was

apparently bypassed by crews who were
behind schedule. Great.

That's great.

A branch could break. You could get
hurt.

Hey, you're the one who threw it up
here.

Just be careful coming down, okay?

You all right?

Well, be careful next time.

I will, mister.

Thanks.

That's what I do.

Nikki, where have you... Out.

Please don't interrupt your mother.
She's not my mother. Out where?

Out. You were supposed to come right
home after school. That was our

I forgot.

Forgot.

Sweetheart, we've been over this so many
times.

What's the big deal? It's not like I was
robbing a bank or something.

All right.

What were you doing?

Working on a book report for extra
credit.

I went to the library.

You tell me I should read more?

You weren't at the library.

How do you know? Because I checked.

Are you calling me a liar?

We're saying you need to come home after
school.

You're not my parents. You can't tell me
what to do. We've been through this

before, Nikki. We need to know where you
are.

What are you, the police?

No, we were worried.

Don't bother. I can take care of myself.

Dinner's ready. I'm not hungry.

Why is our produce bill going to the
roof?

Well, it's usually higher this time of
year.

Huh. That's odd. The cat's water dish is
still full.

You seen him around?

Not since this morning.

I don't think he's been here all day.

I'm sure he'll show up.

I wonder where he goes.

Oh, we get nothing from that child but
contempt.

Nobody ever said it was going to be
easy.

Certain rewards were implied.

I mean, give her a little time. You
know, eventually she'll learn to... To

To not load.

Oh, you know, the agency's going to want
an answer on adoption soon. I know, I

know. At some point, we're going to have
to be realistic about... Let's just

hold on, okay?

Let's see what happens, okay?

Wednesday.

Are you a stray too?

Kitty? Kitty?

Kitty?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Where you been, Fleabag?

School

bus

route to the Art Institute was broadside
yesterday by tanker truck which failed

to stop at the intersection.

I'm passing out worksheets for the
museum.

Worksheets for pictures?

It's art. And yes, I expect you to make
observations.

Work in pairs, get a partner.

Thank you.

Nikki, pick a partner.

Gee, it's so hard to choose.

People, who needs a partner?

Quick, so we don't get stuck with that
lame -o.

Hey, you can work with Heather and Kate,
okay?

I'll take it.

Stop the bus.

Excuse me?

Stop the bus. Something's wrong.

Tell her to sit down.

Nikki. Stop the bus. Stop the bus. Stop
the bus. Nikki. Nikki. Sit down. Do you

want to cause an accident?

No.

Somebody help.

Somebody help.

How's everything at school?

You like your teachers?

Sweetheart, Mrs. Keller's just trying to
find out how you're doing.

You don't have to call me sweetheart
just because the social worker's here.

Um, have you made many new friends,
Nikki?

Tons. Oh, who?

Britney Spears.

Nikki. Nikki.

I hear that there was a problem on the
bus today.

You want to talk to me about it?

Not really.

Okay.

Vicki, why don't you let us finish up
here?

Whatever.

I wish I could tell you that was out of
the ordinary.

She's a just thing.

She needs understanding.

We've tried understanding.

We've tried firmness.

We've tried everything short of bribery.

No, actually, we have tried bribery.

This is a new environment for her. She
needs time.

Well, unfortunately, that's something
that we can't offer.

Why not?

Michael's been promoted.

Yeah, I've got a report to the Denver
office by the end of the month.

We just found out this morning. But you
can't take Nikki out of the state as

foster parents.

I know.

Well, if you decide to adopt, that's
another matter.

Hopefully you'll want to talk it over, I
understand. But to get the paperwork

done in time, you'll need to decide
soon.

I can't find my jacket.

I left it. Going somewhere?

Yeah.

1895 Sycamore. It's a faulty heater.

There's a cat upstairs.

have some treats for him? No, no, no. I
haven't seen him. That's strange because

he hasn't been around much lately. Well,
maybe he's got a girlfriend.

Harry.

I gotta go.

Okay.

See ya.

Yeah, you like that?

Just a minute.

Be very quiet.

I brought you something.

Aren't you cold?

No.

This is Anne of Green Gables.

What's this for?

Well, it was my favorite book when I was
your age, and I thought you might like

it, too.

Because I'm an orphan?

No.

Because it's a great book.

Right.

Nikki.

If there's ever anything bothering you,
anything at all... I'm cool.

Okay, then.

Good night.

Good

night.

Come on.

that will build across most of the
plains as high -level winds from the

prevent Arctic air from reaching across
the border from Canada.

Warmer air will speed through the
north...

Who

are you?

Who are you?

How'd you get in here?

I followed him.

You weren't here when the paper came,
were you?

Yeah?

You didn't by chance see who brought it,
did you?

The paper guy.

Yeah? And what did he look like?

I don't know.

You just said you saw him.

I said I was here when the paper came. I
didn't actually see who brought it. I

was petting the cat.

Does he live here?

Who? The cat.

Well, yeah, sort of. Are you like his
owner?

No, it's more like he owns me. Now,
listen. Hey.

What?

I know you.

In the park, you caught that creep,
James, when the tree broke.

I was, uh... Yeah, I guess I was walking
by.

Were you just walking by my bus, too?

Your bus?

My school bus.

Did you stop that truck?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

The big tanker truck, the one that
almost hit our bus.

Listen, isn't it a little bit early for
you to be breaking and entering?

Do your parents know where you are?

They know where I am. It's no big deal.
Good. Why don't you give me your

parents' number, huh?

See you, kitty.

Too bad you live with a jerk.

Hey, wait a minute.

Well,

just because she followed you home
doesn't mean you can keep her.

Nikki, thank God, where have you been?

Didn't you see my note?

What note?

In the kitchen.

There wasn't any note.

I'm sure I left one. No, you didn't. And
you can't just waltz off any time you

please. I didn't know it was a crime to
take a walk. Michael didn't go to work.

He's driving around looking for you.
Geez, don't have a cow.

Nikki, you just can't act this way.

What? You'll send me back to the home
for social rejects?

Nikki, I... Go ahead, because I don't
care.

Your place isn't that great.

My parents' apartment was way better,
and they let me take walks. We need to

know where you are. It's for your own
safety. Can't you understand that? Don't

worry. If I croak, you can always find a
replacement.

Excuse me. What?

Could you tell me what time it is,
please?

I'm not sure.

It's 11 .30.

Oh, are you sure? I've got 11 .32.

What are you asking me for, then? Oh,
well... Oh, jeez.

Hey, every minute counts, pal.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Hey, dude.

Come here.

Shouldn't you be in school?

You'd have to drag him along.

Well?

I don't go to school.

Then why would that be?

It so happens I'm leaving next week for
a private school in Switzerland.

In Switzerland?

Yeah. It's what my parents wanted.

What did they want?

They're dead.

I'm sorry.

Yachting accident.

In the Caribbean.

I was supposed to go along, but at the
last minute they left me with the nanny.

Well, I've never been to Switzerland,
but I hear it's very beautiful.

Any place is better than this dump.

Dump?

What's wrong with this? It looks very
nice.

Except the people here hate me.

They do, huh?

Everybody does.

Well, it appears that he likes you. He
happens to be a pretty good judge of

character, too.

Yeah. I like him, too.

I'll tell you what, I've got to go, but
he can stay here as long as he wants to.

Thanks. Do you want to pat him before
you go?

No, that's okay. We've got a love -hate
kind of relationship going.

Come on, look how cute he is.

No, that's all right.

Come on.

Kitty.

Hi.

Watch out for the airplane.

What?

It's gonna crash.

I'm not taking an airplane.

Whatever.

How can we just give up?

I mean, she's a good kid. There's got to
be some way to reach her.

She doesn't want to be reached, Michael.
She's made that abundantly clear.

If we don't take her with us to Denver,
she's going to go back to the home. And

we both know, we both know that at her
age, her chances of getting placed are

pretty slim.

And it tears me up, Michael. It does.
But we, we did not create this problem.

We wanted a child.

We want a child.

The question is, do we want this child?

For that matter, does she want us?

She certainly doesn't seem to like it
here.

Just a little more time.

We know.

Mrs. Keller called this morning.

If we're going to adopt, she needs to
start the paperwork now.

Michael, can you honestly say that
you're ready to make a lifelong

this child?

Agency in the morning.

Like I care.

There's a picture?

There's a picture of a plane on the
thigh of the truck, and I'm telling you,

knew it was going to hit me.

Lucky guess.

Marissa, she asked me if I stopped that
tanker truck committing the school bus.

Why would she ask about an accident?

It never happened.

I don't know, Gary. Some people are just
sensitive to their environment.

When you really think that she's
clairvoyant, you really believe that she

it's going to happen before it happens.

I don't know how to explain it.

I mean, four years ago I'd have said no,
but...

Here I am, I'm the guy who gets the
most.

The newspaper today used to say that she
can't see into the future as well.

Poor kid.

What?

It's hard enough for you to know the
future, Gary. Just imagine what it would

like for a child.

Nikki? Honey?

I'm going whether you come or not.

Backed up on South Lakeshore from Route
55 all the way to West Pershing. Some

good news on Route 80 if you're heading
west. They've cleared that van out of

the way and things should start flowing
shortly. If you're wondering what's

clogging up the north...

Hey, Kitty.

What you got there?

A newspaper.

Where'd you get that?

You look tired, sister.

I was up late, Father. A few of the
sisters got a tad rowdy last night

our weekly canasta game.

We gotta go.

Yes?

Hello. I was looking for my cat, a
little orange cat.

I'm sorry. I haven't seen a cat.

He was here yesterday with a girl so
tall, red hair.

Yeah, it sounds like Nikki.

But hold on, hold on. Honey, excuse me.

Did Nikki mention anything to you about
a cat?

No. Sorry.

Could you ask her, please?

She's getting ready for school.

Well, I know this sounds a little odd,
but it's very important.

I'll ask her. Thank you.

Nikki?

Michael?

She's not here.

Don't even tell me.

She has a habit of running off. Excuse
me. Only this time she took clothes with

her, Michael.

Oh, God. You don't think she heard us
talking last night about leaving and not

taking her, do you?

You don't mean to Switzerland, do you?

Switzerland.

She mentioned private school in
Switzerland.

She told you she was going to
Switzerland?

What else did she tell you?

She said that her parents had died in a
yachting accident.

Mickey's parents died in a car crash
right here in town about three years

Her father was drunk.

She was in the back seat. It's a miracle
she wasn't killed.

I'll go call the police and tell them
she's missing again.

They've heard the name Mickey Karasik so
often, they're not even going to

bother.

Did you say her parents' name was
Koresik?

Yeah. Do you know him?

No.

Michael, come on.

Right.

I hope you find a cat.

You. Nikki?

Nikki, wait, please.

How'd you know my name?

I know a lot about you.

Like what?

I know you're not going to Switzerland.

Big wow.

And I think you have a secret.

What do you mean?

You know what's going to happen, don't
you, Nikki?

That little boy who fell from the tree,
you knew that was going to happen,

didn't you?

In the tanker truck with the bus. You
knew that was going to happen.

Who are you?

I'm just a friend.

You're not my friend.

Nikki.

Nikki. Leave me alone.

Nikki, I understand.

You don't understand anything. Get away
from me.

I know how difficult it is having a
gift, Nikki.

Gift?

You call this a gift?

Man, you're even dumber than I thought.

What I mean is... It's a curse.

I hate it. I wish I were dead. No, you
don't. Yes, I do.

It's what I deserve.

It's what you deserve.

You don't get it, do you?

No. My parents are dead because of me.

Your parents, they died in a car crash.
But I saw it. I knew it was going to

happen. No, what happened, your parents
had to... Stop!

You want to know what happened, I'll
tell you.

All right.

All right, I'm listening.

It was three years ago.

They were taking me to get pizza.

I was really happy because they had
remembered it was my birthday.

My dad bought me a present.

Bet you can't guess what's in there.

A Game Boy.

Son of a... Little brat's been snooping
in the closet.

No, I haven't. Was I talking to you?

I started to get this sick feeling like
something bad was going to happen.

But I was too afraid to say anything.

I didn't know somebody stopped us.

I thought we'd be safe.

Hey, somebody tells me when I can't, I
can't drive.

My dad drove off again.

I knew we were going to crash. Don't
turn that way.

It's not safe. Go straight.

What do you know?

Daddy, please.

Shut up, you mouthy little brat.

Nikki, it wasn't your fault.

It was.

No, it wasn't. Your father, he was
drunk.

If I had kept quiet.

No, no, he was drinking too much. He was
out of control. He shouldn't have been

driving the car.

How do you know you weren't there?

Yes, I was.

What's going on?

Sal Carrasco?

Who wants to know?

I'm with the Chicago Safe Driving
Association.

Never heard of it.

Well, that's because we're new. I'm just
here to get you home safely.

It's covered, pal. Well, actually, Mr.
Carrasco, I don't think you're in any

condition to be driving.

Oh, yeah?

Watch me.

Look, it's for your own good.

Yeah, so's the fuck chicken you're gonna
get. Give me those keys!

Hey!

Give me the keys.

Sal, I can drive.

Hear me?

Give me the damn keys! No!

Hey!

Nobody tells me what I can and can't
drive.

At least put on your seatbelt. Mind your
own business, buddy.

Now quit your yapping. Get out of my
way.

It was you.

You knew.

And things in the tree, you knew about
that too.

And the school bus.

You see things too.

Not exactly.

But you know.

When something bad's gonna happen, you
know.

Sometimes.

Only you fix it.

No, not always.

Look, I couldn't have stopped your
father any more than you could have.

But... I'm sorry.

But they were my parents.

Look, Nikki.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, no
matter how much you know, you can't

make things come out the way you want
them to.

And you've got to understand that.

I'm trying.

You were not responsible for your
parents' death. You're a good kid.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are.

Look, you know what's going to happen
before it happens. Thank you. That's a

responsibility. I didn't ask for it.

And neither did I.

But you can't run away from it.

I've tried. I know that. Please believe
me.

It's a curse.

And that's exactly what it's going to
be, a curse.

But if you can look at it as a gift, if
you can look at it as a way of helping

people and changing people's lives.

Do you think I'm a good kid?

Yeah, I think you're a good kid.

Yeah, I think so, too.

Teddy.

Nikki.

Hmm? When you woke up this morning,

Was he there?

Yes.

There wasn't a paper also, was there?

Yeah. Why?

Are you sure this is where it was? I'm
sure.

Thank you, sister.

What is it? What's wrong?

I've got to get over to 4654 Cannon
Road.

That's my old apartment.

What?

That's where I used to live. What's
wrong?

Nothing. Tell me.

Oh, no.

Michael.

It's my foster father, isn't it?

It's Nicky's old place. It used to be.

It's condemned.

Nicky!

Michael, nobody's in there.

Yeah, which makes it the perfect hiding
place for a kid.

But, Michael.

Honey, we have to check.

Nicky!

Wait for me.

Michael.

Nicky!

Honey, be careful.

Mr.

Fielding?

Michael! It's Mickey.

Mickey, where are you?

Help!

Help! I can't pull up! Hold on.

Come on. Come on, keep me up.

It's okay.

Don't send me back. Please don't send me
back. I'll be good. I promise I'll be

good. You want to stay with us?

Thank you.

Hey, that's everything.

Oh, except for the snacks.

Oh, I'll get my mom.

Gary, thanks again for everything.

The change in Nikki, it's a miracle.

Oh, yeah, she smiles, she talks. She
talks, we can't shut her up.

She's happy.

Mom, I'm glad everything worked out for
all of you.

Whatever it was that you said to her,
I... I think she just needed to forgive

herself for a few things before she let
anyone else in.

All set.

Thanks.

I think there's someone else that wants
to say goodbye to you there.

Yeah.

Take care. Okay.

So,

uh, you, uh, had anything about... I'm
waiting for the right time.

But I will.

Thanks, Gary.

What are friends for?

I didn't know till I met you.

I'm gonna miss you.

Well, uh, I'll tell you what, Q. Why
don't you give me a call sometime, huh?

We'll see each other again.

Well, I hope so.

I know so.

You do, huh?

There's not anything that you want me to
know about my channel.

Sweetheart, time to go.

Bye.

Take care of yourself.

Everyone on America's West Coast knows
