Original subtitles

In all tribal cultures, every village had a sentinel.

Now, a sentinel is chosen because of a genetic advantage.

A sensory awareness that can be developed beyond normal humans.

Your time spent in Peru has got to be connected with what's happening to you

now.

I've got hundreds of documented cases of one or two hyperactive senses, but not

one single subject of all five.

You could be the real thing.

Take the office at the Rayburn Dowry.

It's 30 stories up. Who can rob us there?

So all this is my fault?

Oh, you better believe it. Gentlemen. What?

Just a few more questions.

I'd like to be able to finish my report.

He wants to finish his report. It's typical.

All you need to know is half a million.

Half a million.

Five hundred thousand dollars. The entire shipment. God.

Lucky for us, we're insured.

With a 20 % deductible.

Okay, gentlemen.

Thanks for your help. We'll be in touch as soon as we find something.

He'll be in touch.

Let's go, Chief.

Excuse me.

She's some kind of Indian.

We all done here?

Yeah. Thanks very much.

You

picking

up something?

It's kind of hard to define.

Maybe it's just a nervous reaction.

To what?

I don't know.

Can you describe it?

My vision's clearer, my hearing's a little better, my skin's tingling, kind

like I just finished working out, but not... I don't know, it's subtle.

Ever felt it before?

Well... Well, what?

Yeah, the other robbery scenes.

What other robbery scenes?

You know, like this one, the jewelry robberies. And you didn't tell me about

Well, it didn't seem important.

All right, well, what's different about it now?

Well, it's starting to bug me.

All right, um...

Ah, okay, okay.

Move around the room and see if the intensity level, see if it switches,

changes, anything.

Back over to the safe and try to walk in a straight line.

Is she a cop or a carpet installer?

So it's gone now?

Everything's back to normal.

So in other words, you don't feel good anymore?

I feel fine.

Define fine.

Okay, all right, all right. Let's just get back to that intensity thing. I told

you. Near the safe, you got more intent.

I guess.

We're talking hair's breadth here. But you did sense a ship.

Or not.

Well, did you or did you not?

It's the same detective.

Allison, yes.

We'll just have to take precautions.

No, we mustn't deviate from the plan.

All right, I'll call you tonight, sir.

I've had seven robberies in the past three months, each netting over $100

in gems, all pulled off by daredevil acrobatic stunts.

They've beaten every security system just by doing things nobody would

High wires, trapeze, and now this.

Looks as if they swung down from the roof on a cable and broke through the

glass. Maybe they should sell tickets.

Well, actually, sir, we've been checking out circuses, local gymnastics teams,

that sort of thing, to see if any of their people had records.

One high wire act that played Cascade a couple of months ago.

He came up queen.

Also, none of the out -of -towners that have played Cascade have been here more

than a couple of weeks.

Well, keep at it.

Okay, sir.

Let's go.

Is there something else?

Something new is happening with Jim Senses.

I don't think we need to bother the captain with that.

What are you talking about, Jim? Nothing, sir. Believe me.

Jim, this is not nothing.

Is it going to help us solve this case?

I don't know. I haven't quite figured it out.

Out of my office.

Thank you, sir. Let's go.

Where are you going, man? What's the problem?

You didn't have to pounce on the first two girls who smiled at you here.

Jim, that's the way it's done, you know? You just gotta hit it, you know?

Jim, I'm just not really good at this kind of stuff, you know? Just relax,

Just take it easy. The important thing is just roll with it. Excuse me.

Just roll with it. Oh, man.

What is the matter with you?

I swear to God, if you do not go over there, I will.

Jim, hurry up, hurry up. You're about to get snagged.

Go, go, go, go.

Here he is.

I told him I was waiting for you.

I think he was trying to pick me up.

Never would have guessed.

I should thank your girlfriend for letting me borrow you.

Actually, we just met.

How's it going?

It's not.

Maybe she's shy.

Like you.

Oh, I can't afford to be shy.

I don't know that many people.

Jim.

Laura.

Now I know one more.

So, when my parents split up, I figured it was a good time for me to get out,

too.

I was 16.

Never been more than 50 miles out of Atlanta.

Had his boyfriend.

He was older.

Wanted to be an actor.

So we went to New York.

It was awful.

This is really boring. I'm sorry.

Not at all.

Well, it was a long time ago.

If I could do things different, I would.

Tell me something about yourself.

I shouldn't have started this.

Last time I looked, there were two of us here.

You know what I mean. The way I picked you up.

I don't know what got into me. I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

I like you too.

Let's not ruin it with a lot of details.

I didn't see a wedding ring.

I'm not... I'm not with anybody.

We only just wouldn't be a very good idea right now.

Well, we could take our time.

Get to know each other.

Just be friends.

I didn't hear you come in last night.

It was late.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, I was riding around by myself.

Got halfway to the Canadian border before I realized where I was.

So what happened?

I don't know.

I guess she wasn't interested.

You know, at least you went down swinging.

I've never seen you work that hard before, man.

You gonna try to see her again?

She didn't even tell me her last name.

Did you ask?

So what now, coach? 20 laps around the field?

Oh, man, you... you are... What's this stuff?

Trust me.

You know, coming from you, those are the two scariest words in the English

language. Now, what is this?

Uh, we checked these out of evidence lockup.

We? Well, actually, you did. You see, I've gotten really good at forging your

signature. Anyway, there's an item here from each of the seven robbery scenes.

Now, this... this was found on the floor by the safe at the Rayburn Tower

robbery.

I took it out. Are you getting any of that same feeling again?

Like I said, it was all very subtle. It went away fast, you know.

It might have all been in my head. I don't know.

No, no, no, no, no. I refuse to believe that.

Believe what you want, Junior.

The reality is the thieves are still out there, and we still have nothing solid

to go on.

Lisa! That's it, that's it. Good.

That's it.

Yeah, great.

I know.

Take it easy. Take your time.

Tiger! Hey.

Hey, Jim. Hey, Black.

What you got, big guy?

I was talking to Chief Roberts, head hunter from the fire department.

The fire started when the thieves blew the safe.

Sparks ignited their draperies, and then the wood paneling went up.

Folks who crossed the street saw the windows implode from the back dray. I

thought it was a bomb and called us.

It's pretty much under control now, though.

Back up this way.

Who's this?

Security guard.

They think he was bludgeoned before the fire.

Oh, wow.

Poor guy.

It's a pretty fancy place.

What'd they get?

Probably about a million dollars in diamonds.

A million?

Some kind of special collection in town overnight for appraisal. This place is

built like a fortress.

How'd they get in without tripping off one of the alarms?

Like those other robberies you guys have been investigating.

No obvious way in or out.

I'll be damned.

What?

That, that feeling again, that sensory thing.

Uh, okay, uh, use it.

How? I don't know, um, uh, where's it strongest?

Right here by the safe.

Okay, okay, uh, okay, move outward and see if you can pick up any other hot

spots.

Anything? Ah, you got something.

Yeah.

It looks like when they remodeled this place, put in the store, they neglected

to attach the new alarm system to the old skylight.

And that's how they got in.

The guard was out of threats for security.

I still can't believe someone has to die for a bunch of rocks.

Yeah. But where did they come from?

There's no roof access from any other building.

What's that?

It's both a bolt.

Residue is still fresh.

You see something?

There was a cable attached up there.

The other end of the cable was attached to the building across the street.

The thieves must have used a remote control device to blow the bolts holding

down and then reeled it in when they got to the other side.

The fire and the party going on, who would notice?

All right, you two come with me. Yes, sir. All right, split up and cover all

exits.

Detective Ellison, Cascade PD. Nobody leaves here without checking with me

first.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

May I have your invitations, please?

Detective Ellison, Cascade PD.

I'm sure you do a lot of wonderful things for the city officer, but... This

party is by invitation only.

Come on.

Excuse me. Officer.

Ted. Two police officers just came in over there.

Thank you, Connie. Yeah.

Jim, don't you think the circus has already left town?

No, no, no. They're not down.

Would you still get in that feeling?

I'm just as strong as I was before.

Ted McCarthy, Chatfield's manager.

I wonder if I might have a word with you. Not now. Please.

In that case, I must ask you and your friend to leave.

This is the police and vet mediation. And this is a private party.

You have no right to come in here and insult my employees and disrupt the

evening. In case you haven't noticed, sir, we have a situation across the

street. A security guard has been killed, a million dollars in jewels have

stolen, and a fire has broken out. Well, that's all very horrible indeed, but it

has nothing to do with us.

We have reason to believe that perpetrators escaped through the roof of

building.

That's absurd.

Have you any idea how many important people are here this evening?

I do not want them harassed.

Sir, our intention is not to harass anybody. We just want to find out who's

so we can question them later on if necessary.

Very well.

Thank you.

Got something?

Do you know how many perfumes are in the air here?

Not to mention colognes, aftershaves. Did you lose the trail or what?

I don't know. I'm just kind of confused right now.

What's she doing here?

Jim,

there are no accidents, man. This is a sign from God.

You must go.

Go forward, man.

Hi, Simon.

Ellison!

What the hell's going on with Ellison?

First he calls me down here telling me that he's got the place locked up. Then

he walks away from me like I'm trying to sell him a timeshare.

I don't know, Simon. He met this girl and...

You didn't tell me you were a cop.

I mean, you didn't tell me your name.

McCarthy.

Laura McCarthy.

I used to know you, Ted.

Ted's brother, Bruce.

Sorry, Jen, sir. We're going to have to keep everybody inside if you don't mind.

Jerry, you've got to stay inside. I'm really sorry.

Get out!

Jim!

Well, nice of you to join us.

Sorry, sir.

Drop it.

Take a look at this.

What about all those watches and stuff?

I bought a pickpocket.

You guys must have spooked them when you came in.

Several of the guests have already identified many of the missing items.

So these aren't the guys we're looking for? Think about it.

If you had just stolen a million dollars worth of jewelry from across the

street, would you hang around to snag a couple extra watches?

It's been well over an hour since the fire. The real thieves must be long gone

by now.

They're in the building, Simon.

Don't ask me how I know. I just do.

I can't explain away our presence here to the deputy mayor and six members of

the damn city council by telling them you had a feeling.

Wrap it up.

Now, that's an order.

You want to touch yourself up and go out on the town like some policeman you do

at someone else's restaurant.

It's none of your business what I do anymore, Bruce.

You're a whore and a cheap one at that.

Excuse

me.

You okay?

Yeah.

My ex -husband can really be a bastard.

I don't know why he keeps doing this.

He's been seeing Kelly for months now.

Want to take me home?

What the hell is with him tonight?

You see that girl over there?

The one he's going after like he just got out of jail?

It's the strangest thing, Simon. I mean, he just met her the other night and

he's gotten totally infatuated with her.

What, am I exactly like some teenager?

No, no, it's different than that. It's like you can't even reason. It's working

on pure instinct.

Like a dog.

Yeah, sure, if you want to be crude about it, yeah.

Works for me.

Pure instinct.

Sensational. Lucky.

We could have all died in that fire.

And what about all those policemen running around?

How did they figure out we were here so fast?

They should have been chasing their tails for weeks.

It was shoddy planning.

We should never have attempted anything from this building.

The jewels were too good to path up, and the party was the perfect cover. We'd

been out of the country before they'd even figured it out. If they ever did.

It was foolish, and you know it. Don't push me, mate. I haven't got the

patience.

Besides, it's Laura you should be angry with.

She started that fire.

That was an accident.

Maybe.

But I still don't trust her.

Stupid cow.

Should have sent her out for the dew months ago.

You keep your hands off.

What's wrong, Bruce?

Callie can't keep you satisfied?

Laura's stubborn.

As soon as she thinks I'm serious about Callie, she'll come running.

She hasn't changed from the day you met her.

She'll hitch her wagon to anyone she thinks she can use and then dump them.

Like she did you.

You saw how she was chatting to that police detective.

And how you got a drink thrown in your face.

It was my idea.

So he wouldn't suspect anything.

And I had her follow him after the Rayburn Tower's job to keep an eye on

investigation. Why didn't you tell me about this?

I didn't think it was important. That's right, you didn't think.

Laura is capable of anything.

So, she is the perfect person to keep an eye on Ellison.

He gets too close, she'll have no problem taking him out.

And what makes you think she won't use him to set us up?

No.

No.

Laura's a liability.

And I aim to do something about it.

I like you too.

Things were different.

What things?

I wouldn't drink that if I were you.

Why is that?

We ran out of coffee. I've been reusing the grounds.

That's not too bad.

No breakfast?

Sorry.

Donuts? No.

I'm sorry I ran out on you last night.

I, uh... I guess I got a little preoccupied.

Preoccupied?

I think I'd use a different word.

Hey, Jim.

We got to talk about something.

This woman.

Her name is Laura.

Right, Laura.

Yeah. Don't you think that your attraction to her is just a little bit

scale? I mean, I've been watching you and... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You just crossed that line.

And you can study this sentinel thing all you want, but stay out of my

life. Yeah, I have been studying Jim all night long because I was sure that this

experience you're having with Laura somehow factors into this thing at the

scenes.

You're nuts. I just hadn't been able to make the connection yet.

There is no connection.

It's just two ordinary human beings, you know, found each other.

There is nothing ordinary about this.

I don't want to analyze it, Sandberg, okay?

Think about it, Jim.

When you saw her last night, it was like nothing else on the planet existed.

So what?

Why do you want to rain on my parade?

Okay, you're going to have to go with me here because this is a little bit off

the wall.

But I think I know what's going on.

Pheromones. Pheromones. Yeah, yeah, listen to me for a sec.

Pheromones are a substance manufactured by the body. We've all got them. It's

been proven. And now there are these microscopic receptors in our nose which

pick them up. It's kind of like when people say that you've got chemistry

somebody. Well, we actually do have chemistry.

What is your point?

My point is that these feelings that you're having at the crime scene are in

response to Laura's pheromones.

And your sentinel powers exaggerate to the point of irrationality.

It's the only logical explanation for what's going on with you.

No, no. I don't buy it.

Pheromones can stay active in the right environment for hours.

That's why you were able to pick them up in certain hot spots at the crime

scenes and why you could not detect anything that I got out of evidence

But when we were in Chatfields last night, you were 100 % positive that the

thieves were still there and then you zoned out completely.

On her.

Face it, Jim. She is part of this.

Prove it.

I want you to unwrap this and hold it in your hand.

Feel it?

Where'd you get this from?

Laura put it down on my tray last night and I grabbed it.

That's her lipstick on the edge.

I'm really sorry, man.

Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime.

Tell me what?

Something Laura said last night.

Almost as if she was trying to confess.

Here you go, sir.

Thanks very much.

Well, then?

It's all here.

Ted hasn't been in today. I checked.

Anyway, no reason to fear a fool if he's going to pull anything on us just yet.

What do you mean, just yet?

Never mind.

I just want my share, and I'm out of here.

It's too dangerous, especially after the fiasco last night.

Fiasco is right.

What happened, Bruce?

I explained it to you.

Tipping across the wire too fast.

I simply couldn't catch him in time to push him off.

If we're to get away with all of this, my dear brother

had to appear to be caught in the act.

So the police think he did it alone.

We'll just have to wait.

How long?

I don't know.

He's very angry at you for starting the fire.

I explained it. It was an accident.

But things could get very sticky.

How?

He wanted to kill you.

And me too, I assume.

Just as much as we want to kill him.

Don't worry.

I'll make sure nothing happens to you.

All right.

Have it your way.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Everything's just been so confusing lately.

I'm so scared.

Did you get anything from that detective?

He thinks...

They're close to finding the thieves.

In that case, we have no choice.

You and I will take the jewels and leave Cascade today.

Ted hasn't been here, so he still has the diamonds from last night.

We've more than doubled that amount here.

With any luck, by the time they get Ted with what he's got, we'll be long gone.

Freedom's worth a million, wouldn't you say?

So how much did you tell her about the case?

Nothing.

Just that we were getting close.

Somewhere inside I had to move.

I wasn't right, you know, I just didn't want to accept it.

Well, of course you didn't.

I mean, hey man, I still want to believe in Santa Claus.

What's so different about this?

That type of body chemistry doesn't come along every day, and when it does...

We have to believe that it's something more to keep us from seeing it for what

it really is, which is a purely instinctual reaction to another person's

chemistry.

Jim, I have studied so many cultures, and you know what?

Nobody's got it figured out.

I mean, hell, man, if someone ever did, there would be no art, no poetry, no

music. I just don't get it, you know? How can it be chemical when what I'm

feeling are real feelings?

They are. That's the paradox.

I mean, as a sentinel, your body chemistry is going wild, but as a man,

man, it affects your feelings.

One's not exclusive to the other.

That's her apartment, I've seen her.

That's her car.

She's with the wreck.

It's going to take a while if he's going to get a sign.

Two bodies in the car. One male, one female.

Ellison had a visual make. He was in pursuit. The guy was Bruce McCarthy, one

the managers of Chatfields.

We found this in the debris field.

Must have been thrown clear in the explosion.

What's going on?

Jeff.

Thank God.

Look at it this way.

Maybe she really was trying to confess.

I will never know.

Look, Jim, maybe you should take the rest of the day off.

We can take it from here.

I prefer not to, sir.

This is my case, and I'm going to see it through.

Nobody would blame you, man, if you stepped away.

I would.

You guys are not going to believe this.

What? Well, sir, I figured that Laura was involved in the robberies.

Take a look at this.

I had an international search done on circus performers.

Ted McCarthy?

Yep. He was in an act called The Flying Sullivans.

Yeah. They toured Europe and the United States in the early 30s and 70s. They

did all the usual stuff.

Trapeze, high wire, pyramids. But they also had a specialty, something nobody

else did.

They would form themselves into a ball and swing down from the ceiling and

through... Break through these huge panes of industrial glass.

Like the Rabin robberies? Ted and his brother were partners.

They took over the old Sullivan Act. They revamped it and tore it around for

number of years before they got out of the business.

And started stealing jewels?

Right, right. And then I guess they just picked up Laura along the way

somewhere.

So Ted McCarthy decides to eliminate his partners and take everything for

himself. I guess he figured that by the time we identified the body from the

car, he'd be long gone.

We have an address.

Cascade Towers Hotel.

I'll get you some backup.

Thank you, sir.

Yes, can I help you, sir? I need my safety deposit key.

That number again?

132. Sorry. Here you go.

Thank you.

You got it.

I never did like dirt.

Mrs. McCarthy usually leaves word if she's expecting someone, Detective.

Mrs. McCarthy won't be coming back, sir.

Thank you. I won't be long.

Police officer!

Come out of there with your hands where I can see them.

Now!

Hi, Jim.

But you're surprised to see me.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say...

Can and maybe you... Stop it.

Stop it.

I told you it was a bad idea getting involved.

I knew it would be dangerous.

But I really liked you.

You're the first good man I have met in so long.

I need to hear the truth, Laura.

What is the truth? Well, I don't believe you.

When I left Atlanta, I didn't go to New York with an actor.

I went to Sarasota, joined the circus.

That's where I met Bruce and his brother.

Look, Bruce told me this morning that Ted wanted to kill us.

We were afraid.

Who's the woman in the car with Bruce?

We gave her my Porsche to keep her quiet.

Bruce and I were going to leave town with the stuff we stole.

It's right over there in the suitcase.

So Dad found out what was going on and claimed the bomb?

Yes.

Everyone thinks I'm dead.

You don't have to tell anybody you saw me.

You can say you found the stuff here and give it back.

Maybe after some time goes by.

What are you doing?

I'm helping you disappear.

Her name isn't Laura McCarthy.

It's Jane Cunningham.

She and Bruce were never legally married.

They met at the circus.

At the time, she was living with some guy whose specialty was pyrotechnics.

Taught her everything she knows.

She blew the safes for Ted and Bruce.

And Ted had the diamonds on him from last night's robbery.

When he found out he was finished, he just spilled the whole thing.

So Laura was the one who really blew the car.

She wanted to have it all.

And was willing to kill two people to get it?

Yep.

Been a while since I was that turned around by a woman. I hear that.

Oh, man.

Happened to me at least three or four times a week.

Of course, most of these girls don't even know that I'm alive.

That's the difference between pheromones and hormones.
