(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(EXHALES)

You didn't
wake me up.

I'm gonna be late.

You don't have
anywhere to be.

What do you mean?
I'm late for school.

You're not in school.

By some mathematical
miracle or error,
you graduated.

Is it just me
or did anyone
notice Kevin's legs?

What about his legs?

They're on fire.

(PANTING)

KEVIN: Help!

Put me out!
Put me out!

It's fine.
It's nothing.

It's okay.
It was a dream.

I was on fire.

I'll get you some water.

Dad, I'm not really
on fire.

I'll get you some anyway.

It was so real, Mom.

I know it's been
a year and a half,

but the doctor did say

you'd have dreams like this
for a while.

It was my legs
that were on fire.

Do you want something
to help you sleep?

No.

Drink the water anyway.

It'll make
your father happy.

Mom.

When I woke up,
my legs hurt.

In your dream.

No, when I woke up.

They were hurting.

Here you go, buddy.

Thanks. (GRUNTS)

I'll... I'll be
fine now.

(SIGHS)

Hurting how?

I don't remember.

I guess I was
still dreaming.

(SIGHS)

♪ What if God was one of us?

♪ Just a slob like one of us

♪ Just a stranger on the bus

♪ Just trying

♪ Just trying
to make his way home ♪

There's nothing to eat.

Keep looking.
There may be
something hidden

behind all that food.

Yes, sir. I understand,

but I assure you
my guys are on it.

"Sir"? Who does he
call "sir"?

His boss.

He doesn't
have a boss.

Sure, he does.

The Commissioner, the Mayor,
the Attorney General, Mom.

The FBI has no jurisdiction.

There's no evidence that
the kid was transported
across the state line.

The status is still...

Joan!

What? It's just
cheese and bread.

Yes, sir, I'll...
I'll keep you informed.

Good-bye.

No, I can't eat
half an hour
talking to the Mayor.

It's like swimming.

Actually that's
reverse logic.

Was that the Reinneman case?

Yeah.

Isn't that
the three-year-old kid
who got kidnapped?

Missing.

Oh, okay, got missing.

I read it
in the paper.

It said you guys
have no leads and it's been,
like, six weeks.

Four days, we have leads,
and when did you start
reading the paper?

Actually I saw it on TV.

Didn't make you guys
look very good.

That's a surprise.

Where's Kevin?

Left early to go
job hunting.

Oh, really?

Um, was everything okay?

You mean after his
screaming nightmare?

You guys are completely
inept at subterfuge.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

This one's mine.

You got
the Jehovah's Witness.

Hi. Joan Girardi?
Sign here.

Oh. I never get anything
in the mail.

You owe $6.50.

Mom!
Uh-huh.

You've got $12
in your pocket

you were going to use
to buy a frappuccino
and a muffin

when you skipped
history class
after lunch,

which, by the way,
do not do that.

Oh, God, you are just
a three-ring circus,
aren't you?

Okay. Price went up.

Give me the whole $12.

What are you
gonna do with money?

It's not what I'm
gonna do with it.

It's what you're
gonna do without it.

Any guess as to when
this is gonna end?

First the job
in a bookstore,

then AP Chemistry.

How do you top that?

You don't have to accept
the package, you know.

Oh, yeah, okay.

And I could also
take the blue pill.

Hand it over.

In me you trust.

Not entirely true.

Chess?

Hey, I do not
play chess!

(SIRENS WAILING)

(PHONES RINGING)

You don't want to know.

She's a psychic.

Not in my office,
she's not.

She wants herbal tea.

Maybe she'll read
the leaves later.

Uh, Reinneman case.

Parents asked for it,

And we have to try everything
or risk being exposed legally.

I don't work
with psychics.

And also, the Mayor
is on board.

Says she's had
some success
with other squads.

Fine. You talk to her.
It's your case.

Yeah.

But she's in your office.

Hi.
Hi. Thanks.

I'm Chief Girardi,

But you probably
already know that.

Gee, I've never heard
that one before.

I didn't mean it
quite that way.

But since we're
on the subject,

I'm not on board
with this.

I'm being forced into this
by my superiors.

My name is
Charlotte Bloom,

since you neglected
to ask, and here again,

I'm shocked to find
a cop who's skeptical
about my profession.

Well, now that
we're in this,

we might as well
make it work.

How does it work?

Well, you could start

by getting me
up-to-date
on the file.

And no, I don't know
what's in it.

Tell your brother
to stop with
the aftershave.

First, he has
nothing to shave.

Second, it smells
like pickled eggs.

And third,
he sits behind me
and I'm allergic.

I have, like, one
working sinus left.

Why don't you
do it yourself?

Take care of it,
will you?

Oh, my God.

You know her?

Not really. I'm in
her AP Chemistry class.

You're in AP Chem?

I thought your brother
was the geek.

Well, he is.
It's just that
I was forced...

Chess?

Hmm. It's not mine.

Give it to me.

Whoa.
So is it true?

What?

She's a big lesbo?

Grace? I have no idea.
I don't even know her.

Well, there's
a big pool going
in gym class.

So can you, like,
find out?

What, like, ask her?

No. You give her
the fingernail test.

What?
Ask her to look at them.

Not gay, gay.

That test
is so unreliable.

You just start talking
about, you know,

some hot guy and see
how she reacts.

Dax Hibbing.

Ooh!
Ooh!

Wait, wait.
What is that?

Dax Hibbing.

The captain
of the wrestling team?

Anybody who
doesn't get him
is definitely gay.

I don't know who he is.

But, I mean, if I knew him,
I'd totally get him.

So you'll find out.

Is it anybody's business?

Okay. Chill.

They like,
protect each other.

It's another sign.

Like shoes.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

(SIGHS)

(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
ON PA)

Helen, good to see you.

But Kevin's not due
for a while.
Everything all right?

Fine.

Oh, yeah,
that's convincing.

You want some coffee?

No, thank you.

I probably could've
just talked to you
on the phone.

What's wrong?

Nothing really.

It's just
the other night,

Kevin had this dream
about his legs.

Not uncommon.

Right. I know.

But when he woke up,

they were hurting.

Neuropathic pain, yes.

This is all
pretty textbook.

I know,
but this one thing,

it's never come up.

After the accident,

after all the tests
had come back,

Dr. Slater told us
that Kevin would be
paralyzed

from the waist down

because of
the spinal cord injury.

He said it's
the saddest thing
in the world

to tell someone
their son
won't walk again.

There's no good way
to say it.

And I remember thinking
he didn't actually say

Kevin will never
walk again.

Helen, Kevin's back
was broken in three places.

When the vertebrae
collapsed,

the nerves were damaged,
the cord itself
was compressed.

The circulation
was denied
to that area,

which rendered that part
of his spinal cord
essentially dead.

He will never
walk again.

Ever.

I guess I just
needed to hear it.

I understand.

Thank you.

Essentially.

You said
"essentially dead."

You want a number,
don't you?

I strongly advise
against it.

Two percent chance
that he'll walk again.

Thank you.

LISCHAK:
Now remember, you need
to be recording

which are the cations
and which are the anions.

Do you smell that?

It's like essence of pimp.

Yeah, it's pretty bad.

It's really... girlie.

It's hard to believe
he's straight.

Hard to believe
and hard to care.

JOAN: You know, I know
he's not really your type.

I know he isn't mine.

If he weren't my brother.

I'm more into
the athlete type.

You know,
that's my thing.

Um, football players,
wrestlers.

Abs, big forearms.

Small cerebral cortex.

Wrestlers?

Mmm-hmm.

Like Dax Hibbing.

Wow.

Calm down.
Breathe in bags.

What, you don't
get him?

(THUD)
Ladies, are we
discussing ions?

No, wrestlers,
but we're done.

Wrestlers?
Mind your own business.

It's like he vanished.

They're at the park,
he's playing
in the sandbox,

his mother goes
to get a lemonade
from the truck,

turns around,
and he's gone.

Nobody saw anything.

Witness statements
were all over the place.

We're still
in the process
of following up.

That wasn't a question.

Oh. My mistake.

I'd like to go
to the scene
of the crime.

It would be helpful
to have something

that belonged
to the boy.

It would be helpful
if the parents
could be there.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

They've been over the area
with us a dozen times.

The parents' energy
is very conducive
to the process.

It's wrong to put
the Reinnemans
through that again.

Chief, how about
we let them
make the call?

(POP SONG PLAYING)

What are you doing?
You can't be here.

Hmm, and yet I am.

Walk with me.

No. People are
gonna see me.

Yes, they will.

That optic nerve
was an inspired idea,
wasn't it?

I meant that
they'll see you.

Yeah, I've noticed
that this look
turns a lot of heads.

It's called being hot.

Hmm. You didn't
read the book,
did you?

Oh, like you don't know.

Cain, where's your brother?

Hmm, very
passive aggressive.

(BOYS CHATTERING)

Some of it.

I couldn't really
follow it.

I'm not that bright,
you know.

My brother would be
much better for this,

if I could
recommend someone
to take my place.

Ah, Joan, it would've
been so much easier
if you'd just read the book.

Now I'm gonna
have to send you
to the basement.

You mean, like, Hell?

No, I mean, like,
the basement.

There's one
in the school.

Check it out.

Are you looking
for the chess club?

(SIGHS)

I suppose.

Oh. Well, please,
please.

We could always use
another woodpusher.

(CHUCKLES)

Hey, can I sit
with you guys?

I don't know.

Is it anybody's
business?

Look, I tried, okay?
But I got nothing.

The girl's not talking.

Okay. Whatever.

(STUDENTS CHATTERING)

Joan Girardi?

Do you know me?
I'm Lynnie Carmichael.

Uh, guess I do now.

I'm going
to cut you off
at the knees.

I will rip
your hair out,

one root at a time.

Ow. Seems like
we just met.

You do not mess
with my boyfriend.

Okay. Um, who is he,
so I know not to
mess with him?

Nice try.
Consider yourself warned.

Who is her boyfriend?

Dax Hibbing.

You hit on
Dax Hibbing?

I don't know
Dax Hibbing.

Are you insane?
They are such a unit.

You can't get in there.

I don't know
Dax Hibbing.

You're either
a complete freak

or my hero.

Your tax dollars,
ladies and gentlemen,

paying for this
sideshow.

DAGHLIAN: Why does it
bug you so much?
It's just an exercise.

Because she's
wasting our time

and she's exploiting
those people's pain.

He's alive!
Charlotte says
he's alive!

Really?
But we don't
have much time.

She got the image
of a car. Tell them.

Yeah. It's a white car,
it's small, it's beat up.

I got two numbers
in the license plate,
a 2 and a 4.

You might want
to write that down.

You didn't happen
to zone in
on an address?

No. It doesn't work
that way.

It was a man, she said.

And he used a puppy
to get Eric
to come to him.

Tell him about the barn.
WILL: Barn?

Uh, it was just a flash.

It's red,
it's in the country.

Red barn in the country.

And there's
a farm and hay.

That would fit
with the barn.

Can I speak with you
for a moment?

Alone?

What is
your problem, huh?

Well, I'm glad
you asked.

My problem is
every minute
we're spending here

is a minute we're not spending
in a constructive process

which might actually
yield results.

Do you have
a better idea?

Yes, I do.

Let's go back to the station
where we do
these whacky procedures,

like follow-up on witnesses
and evidence and wade through
about a hundred calls a day

on the tip hotline.

And if any
of those tips
are good,

we bring the person in
and interview him.

We've actually found
missing kids this way.

You haven't found
this one.

Are we done here?

Mmm-hmm.

Hey. Thanks a lot.

Mmm, you're welcome?

However, I'm picking up
a lack of sincerity.

You know what?
That's a nice act,

pretending you're all
disenfranchised

and oh, so not a part
of the high school antics.

Look, I just wanted you
to get your brother
to nix the aftershave.

Forget I mentioned it.

You told everybody
that I was in love
with Dax Hibbing

just because I said
his name in passing!

I don't even
know the guy.

Now his girlfriend
is threatening
to rip my hair out.

This may come
as a shock to you,

but you and your
sexual fantasies

do not take up
any space in my brain.

Whatever,

just stop spreading
rumors about me.

Did she say...
Yeah.

Hey, Streaky! I don't think
about you one way or another.

But while we're
on the subject

of puerile
high school behavior,

you think I'm not
on to your stupid
sexual preference quiz?

I didn't take
the Dax Hibbing bait,

so that means
that I'm singing
in the other choir.

The only thing
more obvious than that
is a fingernail test.

My sexuality
is my business!

"Finally, we learn from chess
the greatest maxim in life...

"that even when
everything seems to be
going badly for us,

"we should not lose heart,

"but steadfastly
continue searching

"for the solution
to our problems."

Who said that?

Benjamin Franklin.

Interesting.

Fianchetto.

I have no idea
what I'm doing.

Yeah, like I'm
falling for that.

The horse
can jump people, right?

That's funny.

How's it going?

She's bold.

Kudos for
the Dresden variation.

But I'm about
to take her Queen.

Which one
is the Queen,
this one?

Oh, yeah,
you're psyching me out.

Can I do that?

Whoa!

I should've seen that.

I should've seen it.

In six moves, by a girl.

What happened?
Did I win?

Who do you
study with?

Um...

I don't study.

I tried to read a book.

Where have you been,
Ms. Girardi?

Mozart?

(SCOFFS)

Tip hotline.

It's not sexy work,
but somebody
has to do it.

Can we talk? I mean,
off the record?

I'm not a reporter.

When I was 29,

I was in a car accident,
and I died.

No. I don't
remember a tunnel.

I didn't see
any dead loved ones,

no angels,
nothing like that.

It's just that
when I woke up,

everything was different.
I was different.

I asked a doctor,
and he said
that this was

not uncommon among
near-death survivors.

And then, shortly
after that, I began
having dreams

that came true.

And weird visions.

It was like I... I could
hear people's thoughts.

I don't know
the why of it,

but I made a decision
that as long as I had
this bizarre ability,

I might as well use it
to help people.

And get paid for it.

Help people for a price.

Yeah. Like you.

Is it because
of the tragedy?

I mean, that this
makes you so angry
and unwilling?

You've had a tragedy.

Who hasn't?

Chief, your family's here.

Excuse me.
It's restaurant night.

Hey, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean
to interrupt.

Not a problem.
I was winding down.

Hey, slugger,
how'd the job search go?

Well, the dry cleaners
really seemed to recognize
my particular talent,

but I don't want
to get my hopes up.

This is Ms. Bloom.
She's working with us
on a case. My family.

Hi. I'm Helen.

Charlotte.
Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

This is Kevin,
Luke, and Joan.

Dad, can I put
a word in for sushi?

(OVERLAPPING PROTESTS)

WILL: We're going
for spaghetti.
End of discussion.

Oh, I forgot my pager.
Excuse me.

So, are you
a detective?

No. Actually,
I'm a psychic.

A psychic? Wow.
That's interesting.

Your daughter has
a very special connection
to the universe.

No, I don't.

No, it's true. She is
from another planet.

It was nice to meet you.
You have a lovely family.

Nice to meet you.

What did she say to you?

Nothing.

Don't tell me "nothing."

It was nothing, Dad.
Let's go. I'm starving.

Thank you, Bob.

Hi. I don't know
if you remember me.

Yes.

Good. I'm late for work.
I just have
a quick question.

I actually have
a parish, you know,
and an office,

and an assistant.

I'm sure, but this'll
just take a second.

The question of suffering
goes all the way back
to the fall from grace.

There isn't
a parking lot version.

No. This is
a whole other subject.

This is about miracles.

Oh, no.

Okay. Is it wrong
to pray for them,

personal miracles,
I mean.

Not world peace
or save the planet...
nothing altruistic,

just plain old,
shopping list,
God as Santa,

give-me-this-one-thing
and-I-will-stop-smoking
kind of thing.

Well, I think
you should stop smoking
for your own sake.

No. I don't smoke.

This would go much better
at my office.

I promise. You could
sit down with me,
we could have tea.

It's just... I was
raised Catholic
and I was taught

you don't ask God
for specific things
but,

there is this one miracle
I would really,
really like to have.

It's like something
you see in a store

and you can't stop
thinking about it,

and you start
to believe it already
belongs to you,

and it's just misplaced.

But it is wrong?

Can it actually
do harm to pray for
something you want?

I think prayer
can never hurt,

as long as you understand
you might not recognize
the answer right away.

Most miracles occur
in hindsight.

Why don't I ever
feel better
after I talk to you?

I don't know.

DAGHLIAN:
You gotta admit,
it's weird.

We drive around 15 minutes,
and there's a barn.

WILL: And Madame Blavatsky
gets a hit.

What are the odds?

Yeah, and it
is red, too, so...

You know as well
as I do that
the longer this takes,

the more likely
it is that we're
looking for a body.

WOMAN: Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

What happened?

No, it's good.
Everything's fine.

Look! Look what
she found!

Is that your son's toy,
Mrs. Reinneman?

Yes. Yes, it's Toby!
He calls him Toby!

He calls him Toby.

You got
an evidence bag?

Yeah. In the trunk.

I'm gonna call
for a unit.

Chief, you should
get your guys
to comb the area.

Is that how it's done?

Oh, God.

Hey, come here
a minute.

I'm gonna be
late for class.

This'll be quick.
Give me your phone number.
I'll call you tonight.

Who are you?

Look, don't let
Lynnie scare you.

It's good for her
to be jealous.

It keeps her
on her toes.

Oh, you're Dax.

Too late to play it cool.
It's all over town.

Ms. Girardi, your presence
is requested in my office.

Mr. Hibbing,
yours will be, too,
if you miss the bell.

JOAN: Oh, okay. Hi.

Um... I didn't do it.

You're not
in trouble, Joan.

I'm not?

Mr. Poplin just
gave us the exciting news,

and I have
a proposition for you.

Sit down.

Joan, I have to admit,

I was concerned when you
wanted to take AP Chem,

but recent events
prove you have
some scientific talent

of which only you
were aware,

and we're happy
you're finding a way
to express it.

What are you
talking about?

Your abilities
in the game of chess
border on genius.

HELEN: Why didn't you
tell anyone?

Did Luke teach you?

Nobody taught me.
It was an accident.

You beat
our highest-ranked player
in six moves.

I didn't mean to!

Joan, that's incredible!

We want you to represent
the school in a regional
chess tournament.

Now, I know it's only
a few months away,

so you're gonna have
to put in some extra time
after school.

Whoa! Whoa. Listen.

I don't know
how to play chess.

(LAUGHING)

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

Yes, sir, we're doing
everything we can.

I've got SID here.
I've got SWAT on standby.

I'm trying to keep
the press at bay,
but that won't last long.

Um... I'll get
back to you, Mr. Mayor.

What is it,
Mr. Reinneman?

I don't know
how to say this.

Just tell me.

That's not Toby.

I just found Toby
in the trunk of my car.

I've never seen
that toy before.

I don't think it's his.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Hi. Um... I'm here
for the chess club.

They all went home.
I'll be working
with you today.

Okay. Um... Well...

Before anything happens,
I should just
let you know up front,

that I don't know
how to play chess.

Well, that's
fairly obvious.

(SIGHING) God.

You know, I'm actually...
(CHUCKLES) For once,

very glad to see you.

And why is that, Joan?

Because my life is
completely unraveling.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

I'm up to my eyeballs

in the drama of
the high school
mating ritual,

and now, thanks to you,
I've been mistaken

as the school
chess champion.

How did this
happen to me?

Which part?

How did I beat
that kid at chess?

He was using logic.
You weren't.

It's impossible
to guard against chaos.

It's rare,
but it happens.

Black's move.

I don't want to.

I don't know
how to play this game.

And yet,
you played a game.

Because I'm forced to.

Forced to? Your friends
make a suggestion,

which you follow up on,

and then you're surprised
at the outcome.

It's a causal universe.

Move.

I'm being punished
because I made

a tiny little effort
to fit in?

It's not about punishment.

It's that actions
have consequences.

And to be in denial of that
is to be disengaged
from the laws of the universe

which renders you powerless

and vulnerable
to an inordinate amount
of pain.

Other than that,
it's no big deal.

Move.

No.
No?

It's a rule
called touch-move.

Once you touch a piece,
you have to move that piece.

I'm not allowed
to change my mind?

What kind of universe
is that?

Oh, you can
change your mind,

but you still have
to play that piece.

So you should think
before you move.

Wait a minute.

This is a metaphor.

Yeah. I looked up
"metaphor"

and that's definitely
an example.

Yeah... okay.

I took the bait

so now
I'm in the game.

How do I get out?

There are many ways
to get out.

Surrender is one,
losing is another.

Winning. Cheating,
which I don't recommend,

but you have
to do something.

You have to have
a strategy.

See, the number one rule
of chess is this,

whatever you do,

don't play the other
person's game.

Play your own.

Your move.

so I can look
extra handsome

for my job interview
at Wiener World?

Joan?
What?

(SIGHING)

Don't scare the cripple.

My fight or flight impulse
is very confused.

What were you doing?

I was imagining
I was in a coma.

(LAUGHS)

It's not so bad.

I hate school.
I have no friends.

Can't fit in.
I don't know
who I like,

I'm miserable,
and I've got this...
this zit in my ear. Ow!

Yeah. I didn't need
to know that last part,

But... (CLEARS THROAT)
I have to concur.
High school sucks.

(LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY)
It didn't suck for you.

You were,
like, the star.

So, I was
in the "in" crowd.

I just got to see
the jerks closer up.

Why do you think
I spent so much time
playing sports?

I didn't like that
social thing so much.

Those people were mean.
It was boring.

I wanted to play
my own game.

Oh, my God.
Somebody just said that
to me yesterday

about chess.

Well, it's the basic rule
of any sport.

Otherwise, you're always
on the defensive posture.

You're always reacting
to the other guy.

(DOG BARKING)

You really weren't happy
in high school?

I mean, you really
felt like a reject
sometimes?

Yeah. Everybody does.

Even the ones
who claim they don't.

Hey... you.

You are going
to find some people

who totally get
what a non-repulsive,
sub-defective you are.

Just trust in yourself
a little bit.

You'll figure it out.

And if you need me
to roll over anybody...

(WHISPERS) let me know.

Sub-defective.

You're up early.

So are you.

Well, this damn
psychic woman.

You know how much
it cost the city
in dollars and man hours

combing the countryside
because she found
a 10-year-old toy in a barn?

Well, you have to admit,
it was an interesting
coincidence.

Coincidences
aren't interesting.
They're common.

They happen
to the average person
ten times a day,

but nobody puts
the SWAT team on alert.

Okay, well, I'm not
the bad guy.

I'm sorry.

Will, it's nothing.
It's...

Holistic healing?
Chakra energy?

Lourdes?

I'm not taking him
to Lourdes.

I was just curious
about alternative medicine.

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

You can't do this.

You can't let yourself
go down this path
of magical thinking, Helen.

I am just contemplating
all the possibilities.

What harm can that do?

Plenty. You think
this is good for Kevin,

dragging him
around to quacks

instead of letting him
get on with his life
the way it is?

He's driving now.
He's looking for a job.

This is what we wanted,
what you wanted.

I'm not looking
for magic.
It's more like...

What? Miracles?

I was raised
to believe in them.

So was I. I was
an altar boy,
for God's sake.

And then I grew up.

Well, I will tell you
something, Will.

I was happier
when I believed it.

Helen... our boy
is paralyzed.

His spine is
irreparably damaged.

There are no miracles.
There is no magic.

God is not
coming down
to fix it,

and nothing
is going to change.

Please, don't leave me
alone knowing that.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Sorry.

No. It's okay.
Are you hungry?

I'll make you
some breakfast.

No.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I've got something
from the tip line,

one of the guys
you flagged.
Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I brought him in
for questioning,

and I like his story.
You want to hear it?

I don't know.
Sounds awfully scientific.

Hey, I wasn't on board
for the psychic stuff.

I just, you know,
wanted to be open.

The lady that lives
next door to me
has always been weird.

Keeps to herself,
doesn't seem
to have a job.

I think she lives
on disability.

One day, I see her
walking around
with a little kid.

She says it's
an orphaned nephew
she's adopting.

Can you describe
the child?

That's the thing.
A few days later,

I see a picture
of the missing kid
on television.

Looked a lot
like the little boy.

Yeah. I think that's him.

LUKE: They've always
had fights.
It's no big deal.

JOAN: This was different.

They... they were
fighting about God.

They always have...
since forever.

I mean, Mom wanted to
get married in the church,
and Dad didn't.

Blah blah blah.
You know, God and money.

it's basically what
adults fight about.

We need to talk.

About what?

Your behavior.

It's so not cool.

Flirting with Dax
in the hall
for everyone to see.

Lynnie cried
all through
world geography.

Stealing someone's boyfriend
does not look good
on the social resume.

I did not
flirt with him.

He came up to me.

You know what?

Bite me.

Oh. That's charming.

Can you just leave
my sister alone?

Back off, pinhead.

Hey, that's
Mr. Pinhead to you!

You know what?
I don't care
about Dax Hibbing

or Lynnie Carmichael
or my social resume

or who's gay
or who's not.

I can't spend my time
on this planet

worrying about that stuff.

There's other things
to do.

Like what?
Chemistry and chess?

Yeah. Like that.

Those guys
may be nerds,

but at least they know
what they're here for.

You called me a nerd.

It was a metaphor.

Yes. I've been reading
about that little boy.

It's very sad.

Tea? Coffee?
Anything?

No. Thank you.

That's Pearl.

(GROWLING)

She's very friendly.

(YELPS)

The thing is, some of
your neighbors reported

seeing the little boy
in this apartment building.

We were wondering
if you knew anything
about that.

No. I'm afraid I don't.

I understand you have
a son or nephew?

No. I live alone.

Hmm.

Because your neighbors
were pretty certain

about a little boy
living here.

I baby-sit
some of the children
in the neighborhood

for extra money.

Oh. Well,
that's probably it.

Do you mind if we
have a look around
while we're here?

Yes, I do mind.

I don't mean to be rude,
but I know you need
a warrant for that.

That's true.

We could get one
and come back.

Yeah. Yeah.
Why don't we do that?

Do you mind if I
use your bathroom
before...

No. You can't
use the bathroom.

You can't look around.
You can leave me alone.

Put the knife down!

This is harassment!
You can't just come in here

and harass me!
Put it down!

I know my rights!
You need a warrant!

What? You gonna shoot me?

You just pulled a knife
on the Chief of Police.

Definitely
a shootable offense.
Put it down.

(DOG BARKING)

(GROWLING)

(RATTLES)

Where's the key
to this door?

Up my ass.

DAGHLIAN: Nice.

(CRASH)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You gonna eat all that?

Uh... No.
Do you want some?

What is it?

Uh... salami and stuff.
My dad's Italian.

To him, a sandwich
is like an opera.

Look, Grace,
I'm really sorry...

Yeah. The taking
of the sandwich

is a symbolic act
designed to avoid
direct confrontation.

Don't blow it.

Okay.

WILL: So Daghlian says to me,

the woman had a white car.

The psychic gets
every other detail wrong,

and I'm supposed
to be impressed
because she had a white car.

She didn't get
anything else right?

Well, there was a dog.

Well, that's something.

She said,
"A man with a puppy."

And can I
remind everyone

there was no barn
involved at all.

Don't fight.
WILL: I'm not fighting.

I'm just saying,
after wasting
all this time with her,

in the end, we wound up
finding this kid
through standard police work.

It's a miracle
you found him alive.

I don't mean a miracle.

Can I interrupt this moment
of family tension to say

that I will not be
representing the school
in the chess tournament?

Was that ever
a possibility?

There was a brief moment
of insanity.

Joan, that is such an honor.
Why would you
turn that down?

Because I don't know
how to play chess!

(BOYS CHUCKLE)

I keep telling everybody that,
but no one believes it!

I believe it.
Thank you.

I... I don't
understand it.

It's just strategy
and a little bit of
living in the future.

Please. No more talk
about the future.

That's how
it works, Dad.

I mean, you see
four moves ahead,
it's empirical.

You see five moves ahead,
it's still grounded
in science. I mean,

who knows where
the demarcation is?

Now, if you see
12 moves ahead,

maybe you're
crossing over
into psychic phenomenon.

And maybe that's
what a psychic does.

She just reads
the board of life
better than we do.

There are a million people
who own white cars and dogs.

She said I'd dance
at my wedding.

(CLOCK TICKING)

That's what she told me.

Then again,
she said Joan

has a special connection
to the universe,

so go figure.
