All language subtitles for Timecop - S01E03 - Stalker

Come on, Johnny.

Cut us a break.

One of you snakes slithered under the
rocks you came from.

Then where are you going to sleep,
Johnny?

Johnny, come on.

Hey, Johnny, kill anybody lately?

No. But you're giving me a good idea.

Let's go.

Come on, honey. I'm going to make you a
snort. I'll give you something real

special.

What'd you have to do that for?

Is it my fault he's no taller than the
door?

We're just friends, Johnny.

You know what your problem is, honey?

Your problem is you don't know who your
friends really are.

Maybe my problem is they're all like
you.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, Johnny, how about

one for the Hollywood? confidential.

As far as we're concerned, you're the
real star here, baby.

Why do they think to picture a dream

of love?

Why do they think?

I always liked it when they burned down
a little bit.

The

year

is 2007.

Time travel is a reality, and it's
fallen into criminal hands.

With history itself at risk, the United
States has formed the Time Enforcement

Commission.

A top secret agency responsible for
policing the temporal dream.

A lead team of agents track unlawful
travelers across time.

Their mission, protect the past,
preserve the future.

These agents are known as Time Cops.

Last lady of the year?

1956.

I've had bigger scratches than this
ripple.

Really? Wow.

Okay, folks, give me a reason to worry
about a ripple this small.

It's been caused by the death of one
Johnny the Chin Fontaine, a bag man for

Genovese family.

He was supposed to die September 3rd,
1956, but he died two weeks early.

I don't mean to seem unprofessional, but
maybe that's a good thing.

Not necessarily.

He was supposed to die taking a bullet
that was meant for Rita Lake. The

actress? In 1956, she was a rising star.
Unfortunately, she was being stalked by

someone. Someone obsessed with her.

Hey, I like movies as much as the next
guy, but we can't even be certain that

bullet will kill her.

I don't have the resources to send a
time cop back on the chance some actress

may be murdered.

She went on to win an Academy Award.

So did Ren Tin Tin. She also married
Senator Charles Warren.

They had a son, Albert Baker Warren, who
grew up to be 44th President of the

United States.

If she dies, it could affect the course
of world history.

All right.

Let's target whoever's stalking Rita
Lake and arrest them.

Logan, suit up and find out who's trying
to kill her.

Let's go, people. Lock it down.

Launch at two minutes and counting.

The 50s were thought of as the time of
innocence.

Malt shop, drive -in theater, air -free
prom night.

Hey, don't even mention prom nights to
me. Lois Hill dumped me three days

my junior prom.

You, Jack Logan, dumped?

Yeah, the same stunned reaction that
makes.

It helped me grow.

Thank you. He tilted into the sled.

Ready? Maybe with an L, Wisconsin.

I guess your favorite tune would be
Heartbreak Hotel?

Initiate temporal download.

This music was in the launch countdown.

That's 30 seconds.

That'd be a wild countdown.

We're in the launch pad.

See you later, alligator.

Have to walk.

See you later, alligator.

Have to walk.

Have to walk. Have to walk. Have to
walk. Have to walk.

Four.

Three. Two.

One. One.

Can you direct me to the men's
department?

Uh, stay right.

Thanks very much.

Oh, uh, that dress?

It's you.

How can you be electrocuted by a
cigarette lighter? Boy, do I look like

electrician to you? There's no evidence
of foul play here, Joe. Case closed.

Boy, I don't think AAA's going to cover
this one.

Who the hell are you?

Oh, I'm starting a neighborhood watch.

What's the cause of death?

Smoking.

All right, let's clear it out.
Everybody.

Man, oh man, two detectives eats this
crap up.

You're at the studios, right?

One of those PR boys looking to cover
Rita's back?

Am I on point here?

I got you figured for an amoral leech.

Am I on point here?

Define amoral.

Microwave receptor, shortwave.

Not very... What are you

doing?

Dropping my matches.

Let me give you a light.

I must have left my smokes in the car.

Have one of mine.

You a reporter?

No.

So what are you doing here?

Just thought you might need someone to
talk to.

So you mean the studio sent you?

Well, not exactly.

Nice house.

How long you lived here?

Just moved in six months ago.

Right after I signed my studio deal.

Meet the heck out of that rat trap I
left in Burbank.

Two mile.

Oh, well, did you know Johnny?

Well, enough to know I didn't like him.
What about his friends?

There's no secret someone's been after
you.

If a mob guy was trying to kill me, I'd
already be dead.

Now, this is, uh, much spookier.

What do you mean?

I hear rustling outside my house at
night.

Footsteps following me. Just creepy
stuff.

It's like a B -movie.

It's like a bad B -movie.

I don't know how this one's going to
end.

Don't worry.

In Hollywood, there's always a happy
ending.

Rita Lake.

Jack Logan.

Nice to meet you, Jack.

Want me to sign the ledger?

Oh, you actually know how to ride.

I guess we're getting a better class of
clientele.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This is weird.

You've been tailing me?

That's a good guess. Don't you have more
important things to do?

Well, you know, sometimes the
unimportant things amuse me.

Like you, for instance.

Well, you should get a real big kick out
of yourself then. I don't like a smart

mouth. Now, you have two choices.

You can talk to me here or you can talk
to me downtown. It's your call.

Let me show you something.

Whoa. Well, it looks like some wacko's
really got the hots for Rita.

Well, there must be a thousand guys just
like him in this city.

I think you're missing the point.

Only someone completely obsessed with
her would do something like this.

I think she could be in real danger. And
I could care less about what you think.

And they actually pay you for that
attitude.

Look, pal.

I get paid to solve crimes.

So far, I don't see one.

Unless you'd like me to call you for
breaking and entering.

No, I didn't think so, so... Why don't
you just go back to the studio and tell

Sam Berman to leave the police work to
me?

Oh, my God.

Johnny? Hello, Rita.

I missed you.

You did?

You're talking about that little
accident I had in the car?

Just a mild cigarette burn?

Daily for me.

Oh, come on, Rita.

You know you can't hurt a goat.

I've been looking forward to this, Rita.

For a very long time.

Contact Jane Logan.

Ah, I'm scrambling the cipher.

Logan must have found something critical
to his investigation, securing it for

retrieval.

I'll tell Matusak Logan's on to
something and sending it back.

I was so thrilled to hear about your
marriage.

Congratulations. Oh, thank you very
much.

Actually, I was hoping to get a little
advice from you. From me? Oh, yes.

On marriage?

No, on children.

Oh, wonderful. You're going to have
children.

Well, of course they did.

Five minutes, Miss Lane.

Yes.

So I got a call that somebody broke into
your house last night.

A little late in the writing, aren't
you?

Well, I had one homicide and an arson. A
V &E wasn't exactly my top priority.

It wouldn't buckle under that kind of
pressure.

You see this line?

This line runs through the entire city.

And whenever you and I meet, it's going
to be there. And if you ever cross it

again, that's going to be the last move
you ever make. You got that?

I'll keep that in mind.

Excuse me.

So, can you give me a description of the
man who broke in?

I got info Mr.

Berman's going to be real interested in.

You want a deal?

He looked just like Johnny Fontaine.

I'd be happy to question Johnny, but I
don't think I'd get much out of him.

What kind of information?

About the guy who's stalking Rita?

You know who it is? I might.

For the right price.

I'd rather be in the four figures, by
the way. Meet me at the Starlight Bowl

closing time.

Bring cash and come along.

What do you make of this?

Covers from 1957, so what's it doing in
1956?

And the DVD wasn't even developed till
the late 90s. Exactly.

What have you got?

Trouble. This cover is a reproduction of
the original.

The paper that was used to copy it is
from a polymorphic fiber with a compound

carbon base.

I got eyes, Hemmings.

I know a polymorphic carbon, whatever it
is when I see one.

Hold this.

Yes, Ms. Wizard.

Watch.

This paper hasn't even been invented
yet. It's from the future.

Our future.

And whoever used it wanted to make sure
it survived the trip back to 1956.

1957 picture of Rita, the DVD.

This guy obviously wanted Logan to know
he's there.

Does this mean we have more than one
stalker after Rita Lake?

This is nice, Jack.

A little corny, I guess. He's something
like you.

Someone like me.

Rhoda Lakeland from Davenport, Iowa.

Can you get cornier than that?

Thought I hated my real name, but Rita
Lake just doesn't feel like me.

I think it suits you.

Suits what I've become.

I'm not sure I like that much either.

You know what I think?

I think you're too tough on yourself.

You're special, Rita.

You're just going to have to learn to
live with that.

And you're sweet.

You remind me of the boys back home.

Which is where I feel I ought to be.

Miss Lake, I've come to take you to the
studio.

I stand.

Just give me a second.

You leaving?

I've got a picture to finish, Jack.

I don't think it's safe for you to go
back there.

I'll be at the studio.

There are guards everywhere.

Need pass to get in.

I'll be fine.

Um, I'll see you later?

You could count on it.

Good morning, Hoople.

Let me guess, what do you average, 98?

Pulling's not my favorite pastime.

What is?

Traveling.

Tell me what you got.

Step into my office.

What I got is going to rock your socks.

I'm telling you, this info is so hard it
will get me into a heap of trouble.

So, please, before I spill the beans,
let me see the bread.

I know who's going to kill Rita.

Dead men tell no tales.

Don't you just love a good cliché, Jack?

Ian Pascoe, what are you doing here?

Haven't seen you since London, 1888.

Well, isn't it clear?

I'm here to kill you.

Ready to rock and roll, Jack?

Damn, that's a pesky 7 -10 spread.

You know, I think the trick is to angle
the shot.

Attention, bowlers. We have a red light
special on May 6th.

I'm going for a personal best, Jack.

Why are you stalking Rita?

Well, who better to murder her than the
greatest killer in history?

I hope you've got a real good

reason for being here.

I like bowling. You got a problem with
that? No, I got a problem with you.

I got a tip Joe Arturo had something for
you. You were meeting him here.

Tip from who?

Maybe you haven't figured it out yet.
I'm an LAPD detective. I got a lot of

sources.

So where's Joe?

I hope you don't take this the wrong
way, but I think you're full of crap.

So why don't we go on back inside?

Come on.

Is it my imagination or does trouble
just follow you wherever you go?

You've been following me, haven't you?

See, this is interesting. This is very
interesting.

You know, this reminds me a lot of
Johnny Fontaine the last time I saw him.

as I recall, you were there, too.

You have a point here.

Maybe you killed them both.

Come on, come on. If you confess now, I
promise I'll recommend to the DA that

you only get life.

Huh? What now?

What's the matter? See, now you're not
talking. What, are you waiting for your

lawyer?

You remember that line I told you about?

Yeah.

You just crossed it.

How far advanced is the technology that
was used?

The composition of this is at least 20
years ahead of ours.

So our stalker is from 2027.

And he's left a trail for Logan. The
magazine cover a year ahead of its time,

the digital video player.

Logan's being trapped.

Does it sound like anyone we know?

Bingo. Whoa, whoa, hold up.

I just found something of some
historical significance.

It seems there was a detective who
investigated the death of Johnny

the name of Nolte.

So? Well, naturally, he was involved
with several other homicide

but five of them were of men who had
dated Rita Lake.

And they were all murdered?

In exactly the same way, with a .38
caliber bullet. Standard police issue in

1956. Were the killers ever found?

They're written off as mob hits, but I
dug a little deeper and... None of the

victims was actually involved with the
mob. Right.

They were only involved with Rita Lake.
Nolte closed the files on all of them

within a few weeks.

You know, there's a stalker from 1956
after Rita.

Think this Nolte could be him?

I'd say the probability of that is quite
high.

Lake's attorney.

How'd she know I was arrested? I have no
idea.

She wouldn't even tell me where she was
calling from.

I guess a girl can't be too careful.

Well, actually, you know, it's a bit of
an inconvenience. I have about 20

contracts for her to sign.

Right now I think Rita's got more
important things on her mind.

Look, Mr. Logan, if Rita's in some kind
of trouble, I'd like to help.

If she wanted your help, I'm sure she
would have confided in you. Well, not

everybody confides in their lawyers.
Some people have the impression we're a

cold and uncaring lot.

1956,

huh? Oh, I think that sentiment has been
expressed throughout the ages.

Wasn't it Shakespeare who said, let's
kill all the lawyers?

Fan of the Bard's plays, are you?

My dear friend, I was there when he
wrote.

It's a dangerous world we're living in,
Jack.

Rawed with peril.

You of all people should be a little
less trusting.

Jack, look around.

We don't want anybody hurt.

Let me ask you one thing.

Why Rita?

And I know it's not just because she's
beautiful.

True enough.

A woman's beauty is such a fleeting
thing.

It's because she gives birth to the 44th
president of the United States, right?

Bravo, Jack.

You've just won the bonus round. You
see, if you try hard enough, you can

history.

I'm not going to let you do that.

Jack, you can't stop me.

But because you're such a smart boy, and
because I know that you care so much

about Rita, I'm going to reward you.

You see, I'm going to let you live just
long enough to watch her die.

Could you give me a hand?

I'm kind of stuck a long way from home.

Where's home?

2007.

Hammings.

Wow. Yeah, well, you know, it's what
they wore.

I researched it.

I did.

How's it going?

Just had a conversation with Ian Pascoe.
And lived to tell about it?

He's stalking Rita.

Yeah, well, we have another problem. The
detective named Nolte.

Nolte? We think the bullet Johnny
Fontaine was supposed to take for Rita

fired by Nolte.

Stay close to Nolte.

I'm going to check on Rita and make sure
she's okay.

Could you get my HUD?

Clutch, Emmys.

Clutch! That's a clutch!

Good. Goodbye.

Straight on back.

And you're sure about the time?

Yeah, and you're sure that she'll be
there?

Yeah. All right, yeah, yeah.

Yes? Officer, I was just walking down
the street minding my own business and

someone ran up behind me and snatched my
purse.

Did you happen to read the sign on the
door? It says... Homicide. I investigate

murders, not purse snatchings.

I'm really sorry. You know, I'm just,
I'm so frazzled.

You know, it's not easy being a woman
alone in this city.

Alone? Yeah.

I wouldn't have thought someone like you
would be unattached.

Oh, well, you know, I meet a lot of
guys. I guess I just haven't met the

one, you know.

How about you?

You married?

Divorced.

Look, why don't you leave me your name
and number, and I'll have the desk

sergeant file a report on the purse.

Thank you. That is so nice of you.

Well, you know our motto, miss, to
protect and serve.

Oh, Claire, please.

Call me Claire.

Rick.

Look, I'm really very sorry. I have a
meeting with my captain, so... Oh, of

course, I understand.

You've been so nice to me.

Do you mind if I use your phone? All my
keys were in my purse. Now I have to

call my landlord to get in my apartment.

No, please.

I'm my guest. Thanks,

Rick.

Here's my name and number.

After you give it to the death sergeant,
you can keep it if you'd like.

I might do that.

Supposed to stay out of sight.

I know, but I'm supposed to be shooting
tonight.

It's my big death thing. Kind of ironic,
huh?

Yes? Rita, it's Sam Berman. I just got a
call from the director wondering when

you'll be arriving on set. Mr.

Berman, I'll be there right away.

Good, good, good. I've already sent a
car for you. Should be arriving any

minute. Rita, I understand you're under
a lot of pressure. Just rest assured

that at my studio you'll always be
protected.

Thank you, Mr. Bowman.

See you on set.

I'm sorry.

It's a closed set.

It's a quick scene.

I'll come and get you.

We didn't rehearse it this way.

Yeah, well, something's wrong.

There's no work scheduled for today.

These locks won't budge. They're real.

Creepy, Jack. Just get me out of here.

Yeah, let me find something to bust
these locks with.

It's nice to see you again, Rita.

No, thank you.

This must be my lucky day.

Finding you like this, you're almost
wrapped up like a little present.

Why don't you give me a hand? That is
your job, isn't it?

That's my day job, Rita.

This is my night job.

You have no idea how long I've waited
for this moment.

How many other men...

Were in line in front of me.

Or how many of them I had to kill.

You killed Johnny.

Johnny? No. No, Johnny, but I killed a
lot of them.

You want to know why I killed them,
Rita? I mean, are you interested at all

I killed them?

I killed them.

Because they didn't treat you the way
you deserve to be treated.

They didn't treat you special.

But I'm going to change it all up.

I'm going to treat you real special.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no, no. No,
no. Oh, you.

Look, okay. One more step and Miss Lake
takes her final curtain call.

Wonderful, detective.

My God.

You're obsessed with her.

I admire that.

There's nothing like a good old death
scene to get the blood boiling, eh,

Only I've, um... Well, I've rewritten
the, uh...

You know...

I've added a certain touch of reality
that I found to be profoundly missing

the script. Where are all the good
writers these days?

Now, we have a few minutes before the
grand finale, and although I think the

rope may be a bit archaic, I'm sure
we're going to get a big bang when the

drug's on her head.

Who the hell are you?

The editor.

I'm sorry, but, well, Rita's already
promised me the last dance.

Drop the gun.

Wow.

Yeah. Yeah.

I emptied the chamber when I was in your
office.

Excellent move.

Excellent move.

Well, I guess she's all mine now.

Remember, Jack, you have a choice.

You can save her or you can come after
me.

I'm going to be around.

Time to get you home.

That a girl. You won the battle.

I am going to win the war.

Come on.

I saw a beam of light shoot out of his
gun.

It's a prop from that Martian movie on
stage 16.

It looks so real.

So what killed Malty?

I'll have to wait for the coroner's
report on that one.

Do you have any idea why he was stalking
you?

No.

Now that I think of it, I mean, he was
always around when there was trouble,

I thought it was because he was a cop.

His badge just made it easy.

I hope this doesn't sound like a line
out of some dumb movie, but I've never

anyone like you before.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Thank you.

Well, maybe now we can get to know each
other better.

I'd like that.

But I'm going to be leaving L .A.
tonight.

Why?

I have a job offer I'm going to be
taking.

You never wanted anything from me.

Why?

I wanted something for you.

I wanted you to be safe.

She was beautiful.

Innocent. I was framed.

Yes, she was.

Tell me, Logan, when you were alone with
Rita, were you ever tempted, you know,

risk changing history?

I'm a total professional, Amix.

Thoughts like that never crossed my
mind.

Yeah, I'd give anything to be a psychic
right now.

You're missing the best part.

Want to see that again?

Innocent. I was framed.

Call me incurable romantic, but I like
my ending much better.
