00:00:00I was sitting in on a lecture Auden gave at Harvard about Don Quixote,
00:00:04in which he admitted he never managed to read the novel through to the end,
00:00:08and he doubted whether anyone in the audience could finish the damn thing either.
00:00:14You're through, Austin. I think so.
00:00:16Thank you, Jim.
00:00:17Afterwards, I hung around and invited Auden for tea or sherry or opium, something,
00:00:23and he accepted.
00:00:25And did he seduce you, you old catamite?
00:00:28No, he fell asleep.
00:00:30You know, this poached salmon was a bit off today. How was your veal?
00:00:35Not bad.
00:00:36Isn't that, you know, he's famous?
00:00:39You mean the writer?
00:00:40Yes.
00:00:42Well, they say he tried to poison his second wife.
00:00:45No.
00:00:46I saw you on television.
00:00:48Oh, hawking my wares in the marketplace?
00:00:50I forget what you said. You gave that interviewer a difficult time.
00:00:53She was an idiot.
00:00:55Your new book, I haven't read it, of course,
00:00:58but it's supposed to be wonderful, so I've been told.
00:01:01I told you.
00:01:02I think I'll, uh, do without coffee today, Reg.
00:01:06Let me sign for it.
00:01:07Thanks.
00:01:09My best to Slim and company.
00:01:11I'll pass on the salutations.
00:01:23And your scarf.
00:01:30Have a nice day, sir.
00:01:45You're Austin Blair.
00:01:47Yes.
00:01:49Here you go.
00:01:51Here I go.
00:02:49You're Austin Blair.
00:02:59THE END
00:03:41Keneally wants you
00:03:43Whatever it is, I'm busy
00:03:44He kinda wants you now
00:03:46If he saw the hand I just got dealt, he'd wait
00:04:03A beautiful house
00:04:04His master's voice
00:04:05Guess who bought the farm
00:04:07Who?
00:04:08Austin Blair

00:04:13Austin Blair
00:04:14Very rich, very successful hack writer of trash novels
00:04:18As someone once said, that's not writing, that's typing
00:04:21Well, he's dead
00:04:22Somebody shot him, some wacko
00:04:24In front of the arts club on Gramercy

00:04:28Public deprived of his insights
00:04:30World mourns

00:04:37The psycho popped himself in the head after he offed Blair
00:04:40Why me?

00:05:14Sure
00:05:15If you look here
00:05:16You can still see the blood on the pavement there
00:05:19Look at all that blood
00:05:20Impressive

00:05:30And?
00:05:32Well, and we have to notify the family
00:05:34Yeah
00:05:34Protect their privacy
00:05:35Right, right
00:05:37So who is it?
00:05:38What's in it for me?

00:07:03Hello
00:07:03Hi
00:07:05Hey, I thought we were meeting for lunch today
00:07:07Oh, I'm sorry
00:07:08I was, uh, interviewing
00:07:10Yeah, I figured something was up
00:07:13So
00:07:14Who are you working on this time?
00:07:16Austin Blair
00:07:17I heard somebody shot him
00:07:19Yeah
00:07:19Tell her some rich kid
00:07:21Family won't talk
00:07:22Not even on TV
00:07:23But if I can get the goods
00:07:24This could be the one
00:07:26Meaning?
00:07:27Talk shows, book deals, film rights
00:07:29You name it
00:07:30Yeah, this could be the one
00:07:32I liked his books
00:07:33Whose?
00:07:34Austin Blair, David
00:07:35I liked his books
00:07:36Oh, please
00:07:37I did
00:07:38They were very smart
00:07:39Witty
00:07:40He had great insight into women
00:07:42Hannah, his books make People magazine look like Proust
00:07:45When's the last time you read Proust, David?
00:07:47So, okay
00:07:47Maybe I've only read the classics illustrated version
00:07:50Haven't you made any dinner?
00:07:51I'm starving
00:08:00Miss Costi, you know which this is?
00:08:02There's pasta, right?
00:08:04Yeah, it's the one in the magazine I showed you
00:08:07I don't remember
00:08:08You don't remember?
00:08:09You asked me to make it for you sometime
00:08:11So, now you made it
00:08:14You're welcome
00:08:33You never told me you read Austin Blair
00:09:01The assailant had one flare-type pen in his inner jacket pocket
00:09:04His pen's pocket contained a set of keys
00:09:0645 cents in loose change
00:09:08A wallet containing $51
00:09:09A membership card to a musician's union
00:09:12A membership card to the Museum of Modern Arts
00:09:14A social security card
00:09:16Driver's license
00:09:17Two credit cards
00:09:18No photos
00:09:19And a pocket tape recorder
00:09:20Austin Blair appeared on AM New York earlier this week
00:09:23To publicize his latest novel
00:09:24And a writer
00:09:25But I am transforming raw material
00:09:30And people get
00:09:33Well
00:09:35Huh?
00:09:36Capote did it
00:09:37And look what happened to him
00:09:50Hey, you
00:09:54What time is it?
00:10:11How's it going?
00:10:13Working on something big
00:10:14The Blair killing?
00:10:16Uh-huh
00:10:16You always get the good ones
00:10:18Here's my
00:10:19Good stories
00:10:19The women
00:10:20Yeah, but people respect you, Booth
00:10:24Did you ever read any of Blair's stuff?
00:10:26Not if I could help it
00:10:27Why would someone want to whack him?
00:10:29Didn't like his prose style
00:10:32What you got on the killer's family?
00:10:33Still lived at home
00:10:34With his mother and his father and his sister
00:10:37But he's the quiet type
00:10:38Always walking little old ladies across the street
00:10:41And then he hears dogs talking to him
00:10:43Where'd he get the gun?
00:10:45He's serious
00:10:45This is America
00:10:46Anybody can get a gun
00:10:47I walk into Safeway
00:10:48I pick up a gun
00:10:49Thought there might be something to finding out where he got the gun
00:10:51But what do I know?
00:10:53I work for another paper
00:10:55I gotta get to the mom before the TV slime
00:10:57Makes great copy of moms
00:10:59They love me
00:11:00Oh, my
00:11:01Gag
00:11:03Hello
00:11:05Yes, I'd like to speak to Mrs. Burgess
00:11:07Who is this?
00:11:08I'm a reporter for the
00:11:09I'm not good
00:11:10A spokesman for our firm
00:11:12Will make a statement to the press at the appropriate time
00:11:15Excuse me, but your son just murdered a prominent
00:11:17I'm aware of what happened
00:11:18There will be a statement later
00:11:36Mind if I walk with you?
00:11:37Oh, glory
00:11:39Do I know you?
00:11:40No
00:11:40I'm a reporter for the
00:11:42Hey, give me a second, okay?
00:11:44I've got nothing to say
00:11:45Hold it, wait
00:11:47Please, I want to understand
00:11:49There's nothing to understand
00:11:51A terrible thing happened
00:11:52My brother did a terrible thing
00:11:53I'm allowed to live with that
00:12:10I cook for them
00:12:11I cook the regular dinners
00:12:13And when they have company
00:12:14You know, more than four or five
00:12:16They have somebody extra
00:12:17Tell me about Elliot
00:12:20I talked already to the police
00:12:22Yes, I know
00:12:23But we have our little arrangement
00:12:25And I'll bet you could remember a thing or two
00:12:27You forgot to tell them
00:12:29Well, he'd stay up in his room
00:12:30Long time
00:12:32Sometimes most of the day
00:12:34Sometimes he'd be practicing
00:12:36His violin
00:12:37Other times, nothing
00:12:39Did you ever see a gun in his room?
00:12:42I never saw a gun
00:12:44He could raise hell with the father
00:12:47The two of them
00:12:48Always arguing over the sister Emma
00:12:51Anybody criticize her?
00:12:54That boy explode
00:12:56Screaming, waving his arms
00:13:01You want to pay me now?
00:13:39Get me apart, dear
00:13:45Why are you following me?
00:13:47Excuse me?
00:13:48You're following me
00:13:49I could call the police
00:13:51This is harassment
00:13:53It's against the law
00:13:54Believe me, what I do
00:13:55Is not against the law
00:13:56And yes, I was following you
00:13:57I want to ask you a few questions
00:13:59I already told you
00:14:00I have nothing to say
00:14:00I think you've got a lot to tell me
00:14:02But I'd settle for a few minutes
00:14:04Look, I don't want to follow you
00:14:05And I'm really terrible at it
00:14:08I spotted you right away
00:14:09See?
00:14:10I'd rather talk to you directly
00:14:15No, I...
00:14:16I can't
00:14:18Why do you have to know?
00:14:19It's not me
00:14:20It's them
00:14:22Who's them?
00:14:23Everybody buying a paper
00:14:24It's news
00:14:26Somebody...
00:14:26And it happens to be your brother
00:14:27And I'm very sorry that it's him
00:14:28But he kills somebody
00:14:29They want to know why
00:14:30And what about you?
00:14:31Me?
00:14:32It's just a job
00:14:32It's my business
00:14:33But if you talk to me
00:14:34These crowds go away
00:14:36See, they just want things
00:14:37Put in perspective
00:14:38Once the mystery is solved
00:14:40The story's over
00:14:42I don't have answers
00:14:45I don't
00:14:46Let me be the judge of that
00:14:48Here, you can call me
00:14:49My name's David Leader
00:14:51Here's my office number
00:14:53Please
00:14:53Give me a call
00:14:54Miss Burgess
00:15:04Give me nothing better
00:15:06Than a crap
00:15:06On the six o'clock news
00:15:07I'm working on it
00:15:09Close the door
00:15:23I'm intrigued by this story
00:15:24I'm willing to play it out
00:15:25To the end
00:15:26If you don't have something
00:15:28By the end of the day
00:15:28Make it up
00:15:31Nothing major
00:15:32Nothing outright false
00:15:33But factual speculation
00:15:37Factual speculation?
00:15:38You got me where I am today
00:15:41Well, I got an angle
00:15:43I'm all ears
00:15:45It's about justice
00:15:46Yeah
00:15:48It's a concept
00:15:49An abstraction
00:15:50It can't be defined
00:15:51Yet we all seek it
00:15:54A wrong must be righted
00:15:58Now, vengeance
00:15:59We don't think of
00:16:00As one of the highest
00:16:01Of human emotions
00:16:03But
00:16:03If you ask me
00:16:05Vengeance is at the heart
00:16:06Of justice
00:16:08Now, it's not enough
00:16:09To just catch a bad guy
00:16:10And send him or her away
00:16:11It's never enough
00:16:12It's got to be finished
00:16:14Killing someone
00:16:16That finishes it
00:16:17In a way
00:16:29Fantasize about killing
00:16:31Is normal
00:16:32We all do it
00:16:54Have you seen this movie?
00:16:59Yes
00:17:01No
00:17:03I don't remember
00:17:05I should have rented
00:17:05Something else
00:17:07Do you think she's beautiful?
00:17:09I think she's very beautiful
00:17:11She's flawed
00:17:12She has a funny little
00:17:13Black spot on her lip
00:17:16Someone should tell her
00:17:19Why don't you tell her
00:17:20Next time you see her
00:17:21You could find
00:17:22You could find
00:17:22That spot on here
00:17:23I know you could
00:17:26Me
00:17:27Oh
00:17:50YouTube
00:17:53English
00:17:54Music
00:17:54You drive me wild.
00:18:00You make me wild.
00:18:21I knew Elliot through Emma.
00:18:22Emma and I, it's been a few weeks since we've gotten together.
00:18:26We talk on the phone, we know each other from school,
00:18:29and then we weekend together at the Hamptons.
00:18:31And Elliot?
00:18:33Elliot is a very withdrawn person.
00:18:37Did you ever talk to him?
00:18:38Always with Emma. He was very protective of Emma.
00:18:41He would have terrible fights with her father.
00:18:43Over Emma?
00:18:47Emma could be...
00:18:49I should not be telling you this.
00:18:50No, no, no, please, go ahead.
00:18:55We used to think Emma was a tease, you know?
00:18:59She had that reputation.
00:19:01She would... I think she's over this period now because...
00:19:03But she would lead men on,
00:19:05she wouldn't get very serious with any one man,
00:19:07and she... so she had this reputation.
00:19:13You must think...
00:19:15Um...
00:19:18We used to be very close.
00:19:20I wouldn't want you to think badly of her.
00:19:22No, no.
00:19:24Now, do you have that picture?
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:31There it is.
00:19:34Like they were a couple.
00:19:37Can I have this?
00:19:41Thanks, Annie.
00:19:54So, how's it coming?
00:19:55Fine.
00:19:56Hey, you know what you could do for me?
00:19:57What?
00:19:58You know Austin Blair's book, his latest?
00:20:00You read it?
00:20:01Not yet.
00:20:02Maybe you could read it for me, you know,
00:20:03skim it, tell me what it's about.
00:20:05What, you want like a book report kind of thing?
00:20:07Yeah, I'd owe you one.
00:20:08Try five.
00:20:09Personally, I can't stomach a guy's stuff.
00:20:12So what do you say?
00:20:13I don't know.
00:20:13Thanks, I appreciate it.
00:20:19Hello?
00:20:20Hi, David.
00:20:21How are you?
00:20:21Hey, Kathy.
00:20:23You know, I was just thinking about you.
00:20:35Thanks, he's so hot.
00:20:36You prize winner.
00:20:37Doesn't have time to read a book.
00:20:39He thinks he's such a hot shot.
00:20:41Don Johnson.
00:20:42You ever notice, like, the source for him is always a woman?
00:20:44Yeah, he uses it.
00:20:45The ways you only dream of.
00:20:48Ain't this true?
00:20:50Does it sound true?
00:20:52Sure.
00:20:53It is true.
00:20:56Gotta admit, though, I'm gonna miss Austin Blair.
00:20:59Really?
00:21:00You ever see him on the talk show?
00:21:02No, he was quick.
00:21:04The way he could rip these guys apart.
00:21:06It's always good for a laugh at someone else's expense.
00:21:10Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:24Oh, no, no, no.
00:21:30Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:31Excuse me.
00:21:32What a fucking wish.
00:21:34Come on.
00:21:36This scene runs the continuous narrative sequence in which there's an intermingling of gods, demigods, and mortals.
00:21:45We now pass from the reading of the ritual and the sacrifice to a complex Dionysiac group which occupies the
00:21:54center panel.
00:21:56In it, the god is reclining upon the lap of his consor Ariadne.
00:22:06Would you all excuse me for a minute?
00:22:12What are you doing here?
00:22:13I'm fascinated by Roman frescoes. Really. I come to this section of the museum once a week.
00:22:17This is intolerant.
00:22:18Lunch. That's all I ask. Let me buy you lunch.
00:22:24I find it refreshing that you work in the museum once a week.
00:22:27Can your father get you the job?
00:22:28My mother, actually.
00:22:31She's on the board.
00:22:33Seems the family's on the board of just about everything.
00:22:38I imagine you have access to our tax returns and phone records?
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Maybe you can go looking through our garbage at night.
00:22:45No, no, no. I draw the line at garbage.
00:22:48I personally don't believe this all can be explained by just the facts.
00:22:52Maybe none of us want it explained.
00:22:55Maybe we would rather just...
00:22:56Of course you would.
00:22:57But here we are in a cafeteria.
00:22:59I'm trying to be pleasant.
00:23:00That won't change anything.
00:23:02I'd like to know, why Austin Blair?
00:23:05I mean, he's a novelist, for God's sake.
00:23:07Nobody shoots a writer.
00:23:08I can't imagine anything he'd scribble out would compel someone to shoot him.
00:23:12Or your brother take his own life.
00:23:15Elliot read everything.
00:23:18Novels, history, philosophy.
00:23:21He had a brilliant mind, Mr. Leader.
00:23:26He was brilliant.
00:23:28And disturbed.
00:23:29Look, I'm still trying to understand.
00:23:33I think we should talk again, Miss Burgess.
00:23:36I don't think that's a good idea.
00:23:38I do.
00:23:39Otherwise, who knows what I'll write about your family.
00:23:43I have to come.
00:24:19Have you read this in the paper, what they're saying about Elliot, about that we did nothing
00:24:28to stop him, as if we could, as if we were responsible?
00:24:35I don't wish to discuss this further.
00:24:37Do not give them the satisfaction, dear.
00:24:52Okay, so I looked at Blair's book last night?
00:24:55Uh-huh.
00:24:55Okay, so it was slick but entertaining, Lifestyles of the Decadent, Rich and Famous, you know?
00:24:59And?
00:24:59This woman, Muriel, she's this Deb from this rich family.
00:25:02The family's very old money, very conservative, and she's the black sheep.
00:25:06She's always sleeping around and getting smashed and getting in the newspapers and embarrassing
00:25:10the family.
00:25:11Got it.
00:25:11But in reality, she just wants to be loved.
00:25:13She's even sleeping with her brother, I think.
00:25:15Oh, and I figured out who some of the other characters are supposed to be.
00:25:17One of them is Jackie, I think.
00:25:19It was trashy, but I liked it.
00:25:20Somebody left this for you.
00:25:23Who?
00:25:24Who?
00:25:25Who?
00:25:26This woman.
00:25:27What's she look like?
00:25:28What's she look like?
00:25:29What are you, a friggin' parrot?
00:25:32You know, I tell you this woman leaves this thing, and, you know, I read the book for
00:25:37you, and so next time, I'm not gonna help you out.
00:25:43Jerk.
00:25:47Jerk.
00:25:57Simon, little buddy.
00:25:58What do you want?
00:25:59Let's chill out, okay?
00:26:00I'm sorry.
00:26:00All right?
00:26:01Thanks.
00:26:01Thank you for your help.
00:26:03It's all right.
00:26:04So, uh, you got a tape player?
00:26:06Like, do I have one on me?
00:26:09Yeah.
00:26:10For you.
00:26:11You want to borrow a tape player from me?
00:26:13Yes.
00:26:15Sorry, I don't have one.
00:26:17Okay.
00:26:18Tell the boss if he wants me.
00:26:19I'm working at home.
00:26:26Test.
00:26:27Testing.
00:26:27One, two, three.
00:26:30October 7th.
00:26:31I begin these tapes as a record of the conspiracy I begin to see revealed.
00:26:35I will record the facts.
00:26:37Let the facts speak for themselves.
00:26:40Let the facts speak for themselves.
00:27:02Elliot.
00:27:05Sorry.
00:27:06I, I, I'm...
00:27:08What is it, Elliot?
00:27:11It's all right.
00:27:12I'm letting the world know.
00:27:14I'm setting it down.
00:27:20What are you talking about?
00:27:21I'm reading Austin Blair's new book.
00:27:25Yes?
00:27:26He knows what's going on.
00:27:30October 8th.
00:27:31I finished Blair's book in a rush.
00:27:34I saw what his intention was.
00:27:37Blair has, in some way I've yet to determine, been spying on our lives.
00:27:41He has taken our existence and for his own sinister purposes turned us into grotesques.
00:27:48But this will not go unanswered.
00:27:57Perhaps you are unaware of what is happening.
00:28:00Are you speaking to me, Elliot?
00:28:02I'm talking to you and Mother.
00:28:04And of what are we unaware?
00:28:07The conspiracy to discredit this family.
00:28:10What conspiracy?
00:28:13What do you people do all day?
00:28:15Oh, my God, there's no need to be...
00:28:17I'm sorry.
00:28:17I just seem to be the only person taking this seriously.
00:28:20He's talking about Austin Blair.
00:28:23The writer?
00:28:24You're a lawyer.
00:28:25You should do something, legally.
00:28:26What are you talking about?
00:28:30In this piece he calls a fiction, he's written a portrait of us, of the family, in highly unflattering terms.
00:28:39I think we have a very solid legal case, and I think we should seek damages.
00:28:43I haven't read this book.
00:28:46Do you have a copy?
00:28:47I destroyed it.
00:28:48I burned it.
00:28:49Elliot, don't be so melodramatic.
00:28:51It's in my room.
00:28:52I'll get it.
00:28:52Please finish dinner.
00:28:53We'll deal with this after dinner.
00:28:57Yes.
00:28:58All right.
00:29:00Yes, yes, yes.
00:29:02Yes.
00:29:16I called the paper.
00:29:17They said you'd left.
00:29:19I wanted to work here.
00:29:21Did you even notice I wasn't here last night, David?
00:29:23Did you?
00:29:24Not really.
00:29:27We're all grown-ups here, aren't we?
00:29:29I'm a grown-up, David.
00:29:32Listen, I hope this important story you're working on is going well.
00:29:35It is.
00:29:37And you don't need my help?
00:29:39No.
00:29:43I know where this is going to go.
00:29:44You do?
00:29:45This story.
00:29:47You're not exactly sure where it's leading, and that's exciting.
00:29:51But I know it's about the girl, David.
00:29:53Your stories like this are always about the girl, and God, this one...
00:29:55Don't throw that at me.
00:29:57Why not?
00:29:58It's the truth.
00:29:59Well, back off, okay?
00:30:00What do you want from me?
00:30:02You know what I've decided?
00:30:03What?
00:30:04I don't want to be just another chapter in your big story, you know?
00:30:08I'm not up for that.
00:30:09Fine.
00:30:09What's for dessert?
00:30:12Give me a day or two, and I'll have something good.
00:30:15How good?
00:30:15Is every other paper in town's moving the story to the back pages?
00:30:21I'm working on a source.
00:30:22I've got a lead.
00:30:23I've just got to play it out.
00:30:25Your hunch, huh?
00:30:26Now, don't get excited, but I'm working on something that could put us out in front of everybody.
00:30:30I love this guy.
00:30:32Why do I love this guy so much?
00:30:34Because I deliver.
00:30:43Peter!
00:30:45Peter!
00:30:45What have you been up to?
00:30:46Where's he been up?
00:30:47Are you kidding?
00:30:48Is he kidding?
00:30:49I'm only doing the biggest story in town.
00:30:51Austin Blair.
00:30:52What about Austin Blair?
00:30:53About him being shot.
00:30:55Austin Blair was shot when this happened?
00:30:57Read something besides the sports page you work on, Ray.
00:31:00Really?
00:31:01Somebody shot him?
00:31:03Who's Austin Blair?
00:31:06You got a car?
00:31:08Why do you need a car?
00:31:10Uh-oh.
00:31:13Why do you need a car?
00:31:15Get the hell out of New York.
00:31:17Where are you going to go?
00:31:18You hate the rest of the country.
00:31:19I don't appreciate it.
00:31:20Here.
00:31:20We should all have your problems.
00:31:23You know, it's too bad that you work for that rag.
00:31:25We should be working together.
00:31:27You're too good to be working for another...
00:31:32You know what?
00:31:34What?
00:31:36It's lonely at the top, leader.
00:31:59It's lonely at the top, leader.
00:32:00Hello?
00:32:00Hello?
00:32:13Hello?
00:32:15Hello?
00:32:30Oh, God.
00:33:33I taped a number of appearances on these talk shows.
00:33:37Look, this is...
00:33:39Yeah.
00:33:40I do.
00:33:40Here, he admits it.
00:33:42It's my job to observe, and yes, use people.
00:33:48Their lives, their personal lives, that's what makes good fiction.
00:33:53Well, fiction that sells.
00:33:56But then isn't what you're doing, isn't it more a job of reporting?
00:34:00Oh, you could say that, of course.
00:34:02But I am transforming raw material, and these people get, well, Capote did it.
00:34:08Look what happened to him.
00:34:09But like him, oh, I know these people.
00:34:12I know their world.
00:34:13I know their dirty little secrets.
00:34:17Wouldn't you like to know what I know?
00:34:23I never read his books, Elliot.
00:34:26It doesn't matter.
00:34:28It doesn't matter?
00:34:29He...
00:34:30What's wrong with you that you don't even...
00:34:32We shouldn't argue about this.
00:34:34We never argue.
00:34:38Yes.
00:34:53I now believe I'm being followed by detectives.
00:34:58Or some person seeking to do me harm.
00:35:01I tried to call Austin Blair.
00:35:02His number's unlisted, of course.
00:35:04So now I'm going to write him, stating my objections and asking for an apology.
00:35:09Perhaps he'll be a gentleman.
00:35:10We're smart.
00:35:26Do you have any books by Austin Blair?
00:35:28Yeah, he's very popular.
00:35:30Over there is the novel.
00:35:31We have some signed copies left.
00:36:38October 13th.
00:36:40Getting a response from Blair.
00:36:41I take action.
00:36:43I go to City Hall.
00:36:53May I help you?
00:36:54Elliot Burgess.
00:36:55I'm here to see the mayor.
00:36:57Mayor?
00:36:58Yes, the mayor of New York City.
00:36:59This is where his office is.
00:37:00I'd like to see him.
00:37:01It's very important.
00:37:02I'm afraid you can't come here.
00:37:04Yes.
00:37:04Of course.
00:37:05I didn't make an appointment.
00:37:08Perhaps I can make an appointment to...
00:37:10Do I need to do that?
00:37:11Could you do that for me?
00:37:12Well, there is an assistant available to help you.
00:37:14That's terrific.
00:37:14That'd be great.
00:37:16Can I talk to him?
00:37:17Mr. Burgess, I still don't see what this has to do with the office of the mayor.
00:37:21Well, I believe I said Austin Blair has hired people to follow me.
00:37:24I see her from...
00:37:27They follow me.
00:37:28Sometimes there are two of them.
00:37:31You just think I'm...
00:37:31It does seem to be an overreaction.
00:37:33I don't understand why a writer of Mr. Blair's reputation...
00:37:36I'd like to point out that my father is a very prominent attorney in this city.
00:37:38I'm aware of who your father is.
00:37:40I'm also aware of how helpful he was in the mayor's re-election campaign.
00:37:43Why don't you let me look into this?
00:37:45I appreciate that, Mr. Adamson.
00:37:54I read sections of this novel you've been ranting about, Elliot.
00:37:59There are really no legal grounds for action, as far as I can see.
00:38:04Besides, isn't there an Austin Blair at our club?
00:38:07We all met him.
00:38:09I don't remember that.
00:38:11Well, I'm sure if he's a member, he would never write about us.
00:38:15Thanks for taking the time to see me, Mr. Wilson.
00:38:17Not at all.
00:38:18Though I generally don't make it a habit to talk to the papers.
00:38:22Unofficial club policy.
00:38:24The Burgesses are members here at the club.
00:38:27Yes?
00:38:27No, they don't seem to make it out here to the island as often as they used to.
00:38:31Now they're out here two, three weeks during the summer.
00:38:34That's all.
00:38:35But they come out here on occasion.
00:38:38Yes, Emma.
00:38:39I've seen a few times.
00:38:40She shows up.
00:38:43She's a real charmer.
00:38:45You've met Emma Burgess?
00:38:47Yes.
00:38:47I interviewed her for the story.
00:38:50Oh, yes.
00:38:50Yes.
00:38:51What about Elliot and the...
00:38:53You know, it's best not to talk too much about that one yet.
00:38:57I've always thought he was a bit...
00:38:59You wouldn't have a register, something like that,
00:39:01that tells when the family was here?
00:39:03Oh, yes.
00:39:03Yes, I'm sure there's a record of when they signed for meals, you know.
00:39:07We sent them a yearly statement.
00:39:08If I could just take a look at...
00:39:10Now, I don't know about this.
00:39:12Members like their privacy, you know.
00:39:16I understand.
00:39:18But I'd really like to help out on the down payment of that sailboat you've been eyeing.
00:39:24Sailboat?
00:39:27Oh, yes, that one.
00:39:29Well, she's a real beauty, sir.
00:39:32Just a few hundred for the...
00:39:34Tell me, how'd you know I was the sailing sort?
00:39:38It's my job.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:42Right.
00:39:56Thank you for listening to us.
00:39:57I'm all about to ski.
00:39:58This time comes to us.
00:40:00You're here.
00:40:01You're here.
00:40:04This time comes to us.
00:40:06You're here.
00:40:07If you're here, the best.
00:40:29October 15th.
00:40:30I do not know whether Blair ever met my sister or not.
00:40:33It doesn't matter.
00:40:35He admitted to the public at large that it was his job,
00:40:37his profession, his art, to turn life into fiction.
00:40:40But there is a cost.
00:40:42Austin Blair should know the cost of his fiction.
00:40:44And he will.
00:40:46I now believe that Blair is trying to fake a case against me
00:40:49or do me serious bodily harm.
00:40:51Or both.
00:40:55Last night, about 10 o'clock, I was looking out my window
00:40:58when I noticed an attractive young woman
00:41:00standing at a second-story window across from me.
00:41:03This woman was 20 years old.
00:41:05She smiled over at me in a pointed manner.
00:41:08And on catching sight of me, she lifted her hand and waved it.
00:41:11I could not decide if this was an involuntary motion of interest
00:41:14on seeing me
00:41:15or was meant as a sign of encouragement
00:41:16for me to start flirting with her.
00:41:18A man then came inside.
00:41:20It was Austin Blair.
00:41:22I think the woman was a relative of Blair's
00:41:24and the two of them were amusing themselves at my expense.
00:41:27Too long.
00:41:45You're posthin' in the dark.
00:41:48You're posthin' in the dark.
00:42:04the fact is stranger than fiction they say is that what they say she wants me to know know what
00:42:13what was happening in the family but these tapes they only cover a week
00:42:18maybe not oh there's more she's doing it just how i want unless she's doing you
00:42:32we need to go somewhere i've read austin blair's novel i liked it very much those tapes i could
00:42:39have printed them don't you understand i could have done that i'm breaking the rules
00:42:45i'm doing that for you
00:43:02they are everywhere now
00:43:17i know who you are why are you doing this i said i know who you are you working for
00:43:21the mayor

00:43:26in
00:43:27my office now i'm trying to people are looking at us
00:43:34i give these facts for what they may be worth
00:43:43called again last night on blair they said he had gone so my trouble has been in vain
00:43:48is he at home now is blair watching me blair's ignoring that my last letter is itself a confession
00:43:55a man who has done nothing wrong will listen to a man who claims that he has
00:44:02also the whole tone of my letter showed that my intentions were as amicable as he would let them
00:44:12i love you emma i won't let anyone do anything to disgrace you i would never let them i know
00:44:22elliot i just maybe it would be good if you talk with someone who doesn't know us who could be
00:44:27objective about all of this
00:44:32you think you
00:44:34yeah
00:44:37yeah

00:45:42well you know i finally read this novel of his of blair's and i didn't understand what all the uh

00:45:57but elliot
00:45:58yes elliot read to the point where fiction and fact blurred

00:46:05like you do as a newspaper reporter you can't print lies can you
00:46:08no of course not

00:48:09october 30th
00:48:09second
00:48:36they're spying on me
00:48:54Elliot?
00:48:57What are you doing on the floor?
00:49:00What?
00:49:01Were you sleeping on the floor?
00:49:04No.
00:49:05It was, I was exercising.
00:49:06It was concentration exercises.
00:49:09Eastern mind expansion techniques.
00:49:11Oh, how interesting.
00:49:17I've never done this before.
00:49:20Appreciate your help.
00:49:22Oh, you'll need to fill out these applications.
00:49:25For a license.
00:49:26They'll take about two weeks.
00:49:28Not in that much of a hurry.
00:49:30Then wait for me till then.
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:55It's beautiful.
00:49:59It's just, it's been some time since.
00:50:04I'm sorry.
00:50:05Don't be sorry.
00:50:33November 2.
00:50:35Bliss is an effervescence, joy a flood.
00:50:39Happiness is golden.
00:50:58November 11th.
00:51:01Armed, I feel great power.
00:51:03I feel invincible.
00:51:05This is what the common criminal must feel.
00:51:08This lack of power transformed by the gun in the pocket.
00:51:13Does that make me a common criminal?
00:51:21I would like to talk to someone from the Metropolitan Section.
00:51:24Who are you?
00:51:26I have some information about...
00:51:28about a news story.
00:51:30What news story?
00:51:33Well, it hasn't actually happened yet.
00:51:36We're all pretty busy right now.
00:51:38Why don't you leave me your name and phone number?
00:51:40When this story actually happens, we'll get in touch with you.
00:51:53Phone you later.
00:52:08Elliot, do you think that that doctor has been of any help?
00:52:12A great deal.
00:52:13He puts so much in perspective.
00:52:15You ought to.
00:52:16It costs enough.
00:52:17Since when do you worry about what things cost?
00:52:19I just don't like it to be hustled.
00:52:22He is very well respected in his feet.
00:52:25If you believe in that sort of thing.
00:52:27But I never had to go and talk about my childhood or my dreams to some total stranger.
00:52:33I'm doing just fine.
00:52:35Thank you very much.
00:52:37Elliot stays in the house too much.
00:52:40I don't really.
00:52:42I hope he does.
00:52:43I think the solution is read less fiction, more history.
00:52:47I was a history major before law school.
00:52:52The Civil War.
00:52:55Now that's a fascinating subject.
00:53:02You have to look for the future.
00:53:05Yes.
00:53:07Maybe going back to school.
00:53:09And do what?
00:53:10Law.
00:53:11Perhaps you could find a place in there.
00:53:13No, thank you.
00:53:14Being an attorney doesn't appeal to me.
00:53:16Elliot, you have to do something.
00:53:18Maybe I'll run for office.
00:53:20Political office.
00:53:21That would be exciting.
00:53:22He's not serious.
00:53:24I talked to the mayor the other day.
00:53:26No one would vote for you.
00:53:28You could make them vote for me, father.
00:53:32Mm-hmm.
00:53:51Can I help you?
00:53:52Oh, where's the dining room?
00:53:54Are you a member, sir?
00:53:55Actually, I was wondering if I could just look at your dining room.
00:53:58Well, I'm afraid it's members only.
00:53:59But if you know a member of the club, you could have a drink as a guest.
00:54:02I'm a reporter doing a story on Austin and Blair.
00:54:06Oh, I see.
00:54:07Well, I think perhaps it might...
00:54:08It's all right.
00:54:09He'll be my guest.
00:54:11Well, thank you.
00:54:12You're welcome.
00:54:13I'm Reggie Shaw.
00:54:14Let me get you a drink.
00:54:16God knows I need one.
00:54:18Well, it's dinnertime in London, so somebody must be toasting me.
00:54:22Austin.
00:54:28Look around you here.
00:54:30The average age of the members of this club is the same as room temperature.
00:54:35And we're all disgustingly rich.
00:54:37We have more money than we know what to do with.
00:54:39So most of us marry six times or drink.
00:54:45What about Blair?
00:54:46Oh, he only married three or four times.
00:54:48And I could drink him under the table.
00:54:52No, he's a nice fellow.
00:54:54Actually, you know, I miss him a very great deal.
00:54:57He was so wonderfully nasty.
00:54:59But nasty in a very witty way.
00:55:02I miss that here.
00:55:03And you had lunch with him that afternoon?
00:55:05That afternoon he was shot.
00:55:06Yes, I did.
00:55:07You know what I remember most?
00:55:09What?
00:55:11The poached salmon was off.
00:55:13Now, the poached salmon is never off.
00:55:16Should have been a warning.
00:55:17Well, how could you have known?
00:55:18Well, I couldn't really.
00:55:19But he did mention various letters and phone calls.
00:55:22Well, he did get those sometimes.
00:55:25Well, he's a public figure and someone disagrees with you.
00:55:29It does happen.
00:55:30Well, who knows?
00:55:30Someone may be stalking you right now.
00:55:32Well, me?
00:55:33Yeah, somebody who doesn't especially like the way you've been nosing around so much.
00:55:37Now, the thing that I have learned about the people who join clubs like this.
00:55:41Yes?
00:55:42They like quiet.
00:55:43And they're willing to pay for it.
00:55:48I don't suppose you have a price?
00:55:51Everybody's got a price.
00:55:53What's yours, young man?
00:55:56Good lunch at a fancy private club.
00:55:59With a charming old fart like me.
00:56:17Good lunch at all.
00:56:20Now, it's always verbessered.
00:56:49What are you doing?
00:56:50I had a gun.
00:56:52You know how easy it would be to kill you?
00:56:53Really easy?
00:56:54Are you robbing me of something?
00:56:56Oh, no.
00:56:56No, not at all.
00:56:57I'm imagining what it'd be like to walk up to someone you don't know and shoot them.
00:57:00Uh, I don't have a gun.
00:57:02That's good for me.
00:57:04Have a nice day.
00:57:12Why does somebody kill?
00:57:14To be God, the power of life and death.
00:57:17But then why does he kill himself?
00:57:19Guilt over exercising that power.
00:57:21He must punish himself.
00:57:23Huh?
00:57:24We all fantasize about the ability to kill.
00:57:28It's normal.
00:57:29The actual realization is abnormal.
00:57:33But we, all of us, at some time, fantasize about killing somebody.
00:57:38For example, for example, I might think about killing my father.
00:57:45I did think about killing him.
00:57:48In his eyes, I constantly fail.
00:57:51No matter what, I'm a failure.
00:57:53The child in me wants to kill him.
00:57:57But do I?
00:57:58No.
00:57:59But the wish is there.
00:58:05You ever want to kill somebody?
00:58:07Sure.
00:58:09Sure, someone I don't like.
00:58:10Someone who makes more money than I do.
00:58:12Someone that I think doesn't deserve the recognition they have.
00:58:16Sure.
00:58:19Of course, somebody could feel that way about you.
00:58:28November 20th.
00:58:32I have decided to confront Blair.
00:58:40Are you lost in Blair?
00:58:43No.
00:58:44Sorry, I thought you might have been someone else.
00:58:50I received a phone call today at my office.
00:58:55I imagine you receive several every day.
00:58:57But I suppose this pertained to me.
00:58:59Well, it was from this doctor, the one you were supposedly seeing.
00:59:02Now, he says you break appointments or you don't show up.
00:59:06You've lied to us.
00:59:08The man's an idiot.
00:59:09He's a non-entity.
00:59:10I think that you should talk to this person.
00:59:14We're concerned about you.
00:59:16I'm really very capable.
00:59:18I will not be humiliated.
00:59:19I have a position.
00:59:20You will see this doctor tomorrow.
00:59:24That's understood.
00:59:29I go to another doctor so that they will feel this might deter me.
00:59:33It won't.
00:59:34You can fool them.
00:59:35They like to hear themselves talk, the doctors.
00:59:38You pay them to hear them talk.
00:59:39Then you talk.
00:59:40Then they talk.
00:59:41And then you go home.
00:59:43I'd like to recommend some medication.
00:59:45Perhaps that might be just...
00:59:46You think I should...
00:59:47Well, let's just be safe, shall we?
00:59:51See you Thursday.
00:59:55Bye-bye.
01:00:02Bye.
01:00:05Bye-bye.
01:00:08Bye-bye.
01:00:11Bye-bye.
01:00:25I'm glad that you're seeing this.
01:00:28Dr. Leonard, yes, he's very good.
01:00:30He agrees we have a case, Father.
01:00:33He does.
01:00:37Why couldn't God have made things move as quick as light
01:00:40rather than as slow as planets?
01:01:00I wish I could have been introduced to Austin Blair some time ago.
01:01:05Things would have turned out so differently.
01:01:09I noticed something today, Father.
01:01:13I noticed on a legal pad in your office
01:01:15that you had written your name five times to form a star
01:01:18and that once you had written your name in a circle.
01:01:21That doesn't mean anything.
01:01:22And also I noticed that you had a habit of writing your name
01:01:25on little slips of paper torn from book margins, fly leaves,
01:01:29and the backs of bills.
01:01:30It indicates to me a type of compulsive behavior that surprised me.
01:01:34Perhaps it would help you to talk to someone about this.
01:01:36The doctor has put him on medication.
01:01:39Please don't whisper about me.
01:01:41It's very rude.
01:01:42You're right.
01:01:42We're sorry.
01:01:44Emma, are you going out later?
01:01:48Yes.
01:01:49I'm meeting a friend from school.
01:01:51Oh, you remember Ann Hodges?
01:01:53Oh, yes, of course.
01:01:55She's a cow.
01:01:56She's also rumored to be bisexual.
01:01:57A bisexual bovine.
01:01:58And I cannot finish this food.
01:02:20Can I help you?
01:02:23Yes.
01:02:23Does Austin Blair live here?
01:02:25Yes.
01:02:26Do you know what time it is?
01:02:28I'm aware of the time I would like to see Austin Blair.
01:02:30Well, he's not here.
01:02:33Do you know who you're talking to?
01:02:35Listen, get out of my face before I call the cops.
01:02:39You tell him Elliot Burgess was here.
01:02:41You tell him.
01:02:44Idiot.
01:03:02You shouldn't have this.
01:03:05Feel how heavy it is.
01:03:07It's much heavier than I imagined.
01:03:09The man in the store said it was one of the better models.
01:03:11It would do the job.
01:03:13Promise me you'll never use this.
01:03:17I should never have showed you.
01:03:20I've lost you, Emma.
01:03:22I've lost you to somebody else.
01:03:25Nothing matters if I've lost you.
01:03:47A man in the world who does just about as he pleases is liable to be a social outcast.
01:03:51A member of the top 400.
01:03:52Or both.
01:03:55Perhaps the blue pinstripe, Elliot.
01:03:57I can do this myself, Mother.
01:03:59Of course.
01:04:00But it's very important, the picture you give to the world.
01:04:02I'm old enough to pick out my own clothes.
01:04:05You'd be lost without me.
01:04:07Don't patronize me, Mother.
01:04:09Please, don't.
01:04:11I look for Austin Blair in the park, at his club, outside his home.
01:04:17It's time.
01:04:30The world is beautiful.
01:04:31I carry the gun with me.
01:04:33Just in case.
01:04:55I'm going to talk to her.
01:04:58But she's...
01:04:59Trouble.
01:04:59This woman sounds like trouble.
01:05:01I know it's wrong, but I got to.
01:05:04What's so special about this one?
01:05:05If you saw her, you wouldn't ask.
01:05:08Really?
01:05:10Really.
01:05:11I'm going to see this out.
01:05:12If you were me, you would, too.
01:05:13I know you.
01:05:17The lawyer said I shouldn't be seeing you.
01:05:19Those tapes Elliot made?
01:05:20You left them for me.
01:05:21You have no idea.
01:05:23Give me a little credit.
01:05:24You left me the tapes.
01:05:25You knew I'd have to listen to them all, and you knew I'd use them.
01:05:27And I'll use them, but not how you meant for me to.
01:05:29Shall I go on?
01:05:32All right.
01:05:32At first, when I figured it was you who left me the tapes, I couldn't answer a big question.
01:05:37Why drop this stuff in my lap?
01:05:39I couldn't see it as some compulsion to have the world know the truth.
01:05:41Far from it.
01:05:42After all, you'd been acting all along like I was some sort of vampire, taking your family
01:05:46and your life and putting them in the papers.
01:05:48It's your job, Mr. Later.
01:05:49So I come back to why.
01:05:50Why the tapes and why me?
01:05:53Because to anyone listening to the tapes, they proved that Elliot was insane, that he was
01:05:57convinced that Austin Blair was writing about you, that somehow he'd found out your dirty
01:06:01little secrets.
01:06:02And Elliot loved you too much to let that go.
01:06:04But the truth is, what Elliot thought was true, was true.
01:06:09What exactly is that?
01:06:10That, in fact, Austin Blair was writing about you.
01:06:13That you told him everything he needed, that you slept with Blair.
01:06:18Elliot wasn't fantasizing, not as much as you want people to believe.
01:06:21You did know him.
01:06:23I went out to your club, and the record showed when you were there the summer before.
01:06:26And I did a little further looking, and I found out when Austin Blair was there too.
01:06:30There were enough times in common to draw some conclusions.
01:06:33You can't prove anything.
01:06:34I don't have to.
01:06:35I'm not a lawyer.
01:06:36I'm a reporter.
01:06:37I work for a newspaper.
01:06:39You're guilty until proven innocent.
01:06:41All I have to do is say it, and it's true.
01:06:43And I think you know that, which is why you left me the tapes.
01:06:46But I didn't come up with the story you needed.
01:06:48Why are you doing this to me?
01:06:51You're just a story, Emma.
01:06:53I don't believe that.
01:06:54Look.
01:06:55You don't either.
01:06:56Why don't you get out of my life?
01:06:58I'm not in your life.
01:07:00It's not true.
01:07:02None of what you say is true.
01:07:06I...
01:07:07How can you live with yourself when you do this to people?
01:07:13Sometimes I can't.
01:07:33Ella, you should know I've directed the firm to continue libel proceedings against the paper.
01:07:38I don't think that's necessary.
01:07:41You don't?
01:07:43No.
01:07:44I'm taking care of this on my own.
01:07:46We don't need to involve the firm.
01:07:49I'll see it through, and it'll be settled our way.
01:08:10December 1st.
01:08:25Emma, in my room, I've kept a record of what's happened on tape.
01:08:32I've put down the facts and my thoughts.
01:08:36I don't think that's...
01:08:37It's important that everything be documented.
01:08:40I'm leaving it for you.
01:08:50I don't want this, Elliot.
01:08:52Even if we were awarded a decision, it wouldn't be enough.
01:08:55Vengeance is at the heart of justice.
01:08:57I'm just completing something Blair started.
01:09:36Vengeance is at the heart of justice.
01:09:37Vengeance is at the heart of justice.
01:09:40Here you go.
01:09:44Here I go.
01:10:11Yes, Keneally there.
01:10:42Yes, Keneally there.
01:10:48Yes, Keneally there.
01:10:50Yes, Keneally there.
01:11:41Yes, Keneally there.
01:11:44You wanted it too, didn't you?
01:11:50Yes.
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55I knew that.
01:11:57Otherwise I wouldn't come.
01:11:59I knew you wanted me.
01:12:07Yes.
01:12:26Yes, Keneally there.
01:12:34I don't know.
01:13:07I don't know.
01:13:36I'm thinking about taking some time off.
01:13:39Time off from what?
01:13:41From the paper.
01:13:42I want to spend time with her.
01:13:44Hmm?
01:13:45It's important I do that, you know.
01:13:49So you're taking time off for the broad?
01:13:52Yes.
01:13:54What?
01:13:55What are you saying here, Dave?
01:13:57I'm saying that the story is there is no story.
01:14:00This kid Elliot was crazy.
01:14:02He gets an idea that this book was written about him and his family, and he's nuts.
01:14:06And it was a waste of time.
01:14:08I didn't find out anything new.
01:14:10What's this about?
01:14:12Is this about more money, Mr. Al?
01:14:14Is this about you need to make more money?
01:14:16What, the trib wants you over there?
01:14:17I work for the trib.
01:14:18They're scum.
01:14:19You're better off staying here.
01:14:20It's not about money.
01:14:22You told me you were on to something.
01:14:24Well, I was wrong.
01:14:26I don't know.
01:14:27You don't know?
01:14:28You don't know what?
01:14:29You on drugs?
01:14:31This is a series.
01:14:32It's good.
01:14:33Okay, you're stuck a little.
01:14:34People aren't talking.
01:14:35You feel you deserve a higher salary.
01:14:37It's got nothing to do with...
01:14:39We've been here before, Leader.
01:14:40We've reached this point.
01:14:43Is the story blue ribbon, or is it a bust?
01:14:45You told me.
01:14:46You said, give me a few days.
01:14:47I got something.
01:14:49I held you in reserve.
01:14:51Now it's time off.
01:14:51I can't finish it.
01:14:53Tell me something else.
01:14:54Get someone else.
01:14:55God help me.
01:14:56Get Simon.
01:14:57Better yet, just let it die.
01:14:59Oh.
01:15:05Lawyer's been talking to you?
01:15:06No.
01:15:10Well, any libel thing, the paper, behind you, it's all...
01:15:14We can beat it.
01:15:14That's it.
01:15:15I'm done with it.
01:15:52I'm off the story.
01:16:05You are?
01:16:09I thought you should know.
01:16:12I told him there was no more story.
01:16:17I don't want...
01:16:18I don't know what, exactly.
01:16:20I don't want...
01:16:23I'm thinking of you.
01:16:35Tell my father to drop the suit.
01:16:39Stop legal proceedings against the paper.
01:16:44He's not.
01:16:48If I refuse to testify, there is no case.
01:16:51I'm going to go...
01:17:11I don't know.
01:17:20I was going to go...
01:17:46We can't do this again.
01:17:51We can't.
01:17:51Brenda, I don't trust you.
01:17:58It's the problem.
01:18:07What if I gave you something?
01:18:12What?
01:18:16Something valuable.
01:18:19What?
01:18:20What?
01:18:22What?
01:18:28What?
01:18:30What?
01:18:33What?
01:18:34What?
01:20:23Come back to bed, Elliot.
01:20:56Let's go away.
01:20:58Be serious.
01:21:00I am serious.
01:21:01You told the paper you want time off?
01:21:04Spend it with me.
01:21:05I intend to.
01:21:07But we can't just disappear.
01:21:09How's it going to look?
01:21:11Do you care how things look?
01:21:13No.
01:21:14The story's over.
01:21:15I mean, you're finished with it, right?
01:21:17Right.
01:21:18And it ends with Elliot.
01:21:20Elliot was crazy, just what we said.
01:21:22Just like we said.
01:21:26So go away with me.
01:21:29I want to.
01:21:32All right.
01:21:34I'll make theory.
01:21:36Come on.
01:21:41What's this?
01:21:42I'm leaving, Simon.
01:21:43Another assignment, huh?
01:21:44Taking some time off.
01:21:46Couldn't finish that great American novel you've been struggling with, right?
01:21:49Yeah, that's it.
01:21:50Well, good luck.
01:21:52Thanks.
01:21:53Hey, you can have this.
01:21:54It's not bad.
01:21:57I quit the paper.
01:21:59It was everything I ever wanted, and I just tossed it.
01:22:02Funny you should bring this up.
01:22:04Guess who calls me today?
01:22:06Who?
01:22:07Keneally.
01:22:09Really?
01:22:10Yeah.
01:22:10Asks if I want to work with him.
01:22:12Says he's always had his eye on me.
01:22:14Says he thinks I could go the distance.
01:22:17Offers me your job.
01:22:19So I take it.
01:22:21What can I say?
01:22:22Hey, I congratulate you on this career move.
01:22:24I do.
01:22:25I gotta say, I don't know what you're doing.
01:22:28Neither do I.
01:22:29But it's too late.
01:22:31It's out of my hands.
01:22:34Hi.
01:22:35We're on Northwest Flight 763.
01:22:38Meet me at JFK at 4 p.m.
01:22:40Everything is ready.
01:22:43I bet you don't have yours at Washington Shuttle Flight 419.
01:22:47There is a big change.
01:22:48Hello?
01:22:49I'm here to pick up some tickets, Flight 763.
01:22:51Your name?
01:22:52David Leader.
01:22:53And one should be under Burgess.
01:22:55Emma Burgess.
01:22:57Mr. Leader, we have your reservation.
01:23:00But there's no Burgess.
01:23:02No Emma Burgess.
01:23:03Might it be under some other name?
01:23:05Check it again.
01:23:06Burgess.
01:23:06B-U-R-G-E-S-S.
01:23:12Nothing under that.
01:23:13Look, I'm meeting someone here.
01:23:15And there's gotta be...
01:23:16I'm sorry.
01:23:23The number you have reached is not in service at this time.
01:23:26And there is no new number.

01:23:33This is a recording.

01:23:59All the disasters they know are at this time.
01:24:45Should I clear?
01:24:47Well, I'm not quite finished.
01:24:50Yes, you can clear, Jean.
01:24:52We're done now.
01:24:53You can take it away.
01:25:30You can take it away.
01:25:32You can take it away.
01:26:00You can take it away.
01:26:25You can take it away.
