WEBVTT 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:25.420 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:29.739 to the fear you can hear. Welcome to the world 00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:34.479 of your own terrifying imagination. All of us 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.219 daydream. It seems a harmless enough way of passing 00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:42.399 the time. But what might we do if some of the 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.079 things that pass through our minds come true? 00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:50.039 Supposing the man or the woman we created in 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.679 the mind's eye became reality, the phantom became 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.820 flesh and blood. Our puzzling nerve -tingling 00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:03.179 tale begins as it ends, with sudden, irrevocable 00:01:03.179 --> 00:01:16.840 death. Hello? I've been worried sick. Where have 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.840 you been? Where are you? At the apartment. I've 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.980 been calling and calling. The phone must be out 00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:27.180 of order. I took it off the hook. Are you with 00:01:27.180 --> 00:02:20.310 her again? Focus was written especially for the 00:02:20.310 --> 00:02:23.650 Mystery Theatre by Ian Martin and stars William 00:02:23.650 --> 00:02:27.310 Redfield. I'll be back shortly with Act One. 00:02:38.050 --> 00:02:41.509 You are Skyler Harris. Sky, to your friends, 00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:45.610 a typical commuter, an account executive at Lorne 00:02:45.610 --> 00:02:49.550 Peabody and Davis. Married 18 years, two children, 00:02:50.069 --> 00:02:55.789 Gary 16 and Lisa 12. 35 ,000 a year, and an expense 00:02:55.789 --> 00:03:00.270 account. You live up to every penny. You are 00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:03.849 bored at home, driven at the office, given to 00:03:03.849 --> 00:03:06.189 fantasizing about women because you don't have 00:03:06.189 --> 00:03:09.830 the courage to take a mistress. But you are to 00:03:09.830 --> 00:03:14.569 find one, and such a one, who will quite literally 00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:17.569 be the death of you. What do you got here, Jake? 00:03:18.449 --> 00:03:23.849 It's a DOA, Sam. Cold turkey. Mm -hmm. It's like 00:03:23.849 --> 00:03:26.969 the woman on the phone said. Where's the other? 00:03:27.750 --> 00:03:32.689 The dame? Yeah. Search me, not in here. It's 00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:35.150 probably the bedroom. Check out the rest of the 00:03:35.150 --> 00:03:40.710 apartment, huh? There's a letter or a confession 00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:47.509 or something on the desk. Yeah, I see it. Dear 00:03:47.509 --> 00:03:53.770 Isabelle, I have just killed Deidre. And before 00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:59.090 I kill myself, I want to explain, or try to explain 00:03:59.090 --> 00:04:05.449 why. It started ten days ago. It doesn't seem 00:04:05.449 --> 00:04:08.689 possible that in so short a time, my whole life 00:04:08.689 --> 00:04:12.810 was ripped to shreds. It was such an ordinary 00:04:12.810 --> 00:04:20.470 day. climbing aboard the old 737. Why make a 00:04:20.470 --> 00:04:22.750 fourth this morning, Skye, if Ed isn't on? Oh, 00:04:23.029 --> 00:04:25.370 no thanks, Charlie, I'm bushed. I'm gonna catch 00:04:25.370 --> 00:04:27.970 a nap on the way in. Hey, you do look a little 00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:31.490 frazzled. Everything okay? All my health's all 00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:34.269 right, as far as I know. Oh, it's just the rat 00:04:34.269 --> 00:04:37.439 race, I guess. It's getting to me. Maybe it's 00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:39.660 a male change of life, Skye. No, no, no, no, 00:04:39.660 --> 00:04:42.139 not yet. Please, God. Oh, Lord, that I could 00:04:42.139 --> 00:04:45.699 do with a little change of life, you know. Well, 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.800 leave you to get on with it. At least you got 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.759 the whole seat to yourself in case the action 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.220 gets rough. Oh, thanks. Sweet dreams, lover boy. 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.519 Oh, go trump your partner's ace. Well, tickets, 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.180 please. Have your tickets ready, please. Morning, 00:05:00.220 --> 00:05:03.160 Mr. Harris. Oh, hi, Benji. Hang on to it. It's 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.660 the last ride left on the ticket. Tough night, 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.199 Mr. Harris? They're all tough these days, Benji. 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:23.060 I'll see you at the end of the line, okay? You 00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:27.279 don't mind my joining you? What? Oh, I beg your 00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.439 pardon. I'm sorry. I thought I was alone in the 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.589 seat. You don't mind, do you? Mind? What man 00:05:34.589 --> 00:05:39.149 in his right mind would? I'm glad you find me 00:05:39.149 --> 00:05:44.889 pleasing. What? Don't look so surprised. I'm 00:05:44.889 --> 00:05:47.889 just what you've been waiting for. Am I not? 00:05:50.170 --> 00:05:53.009 Mr. Harris? Wake up, Mr. Harris. We're in the 00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:58.170 terminal. Benji, what is it? Everyone out, sir. 00:05:58.370 --> 00:06:01.649 End of the line. But I was just... Wait a minute, 00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:04.860 wait a minute, I... I fell asleep. What happened 00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:07.680 to the girl that was sitting beside me? What 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.100 girl, Mr. Hart? Well, Benji, she was sort of 00:06:10.100 --> 00:06:13.740 a tall, dark -haired, deep, violet, black eyes 00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:16.240 like Elizabeth Taylor, long legs that... Well, 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:17.720 I mean, if you saw her, you could never forget 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:21.360 her. Sorry, sir. I passed you a couple of times, 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.519 and the seat beside you was always empty. Oh, 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.600 Benji, come on. You're sure there wasn't a girl? 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.279 I didn't see her. Maybe you dreamed her. Maybe. 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.800 Well, there's no doubt about it. She was a perfect 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:48.899 dream. Yes, Aris? Harry? Oh, sure. Send him right 00:06:48.899 --> 00:06:54.180 in. Sky, have I got news for you. Hold on to 00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:57.009 your... Why? I just came from a session with 00:06:57.009 --> 00:06:59.709 the kingpin. Oh, so what does boss man Peabody 00:06:59.709 --> 00:07:02.470 have up his sleeve this morning? The brass ring 00:07:02.470 --> 00:07:06.370 for you, Skye, and I go along for the ride. The 00:07:06.370 --> 00:07:10.329 Bianchi account. Bianchi? It's all yours, baby. 00:07:10.750 --> 00:07:13.350 All you have to do is come up with a campaign. 00:07:13.490 --> 00:07:16.370 That's ten million in billing. Biggest new account 00:07:16.370 --> 00:07:19.439 in the shop. The plum. Yeah. If you pull it off, 00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:22.100 it's the VP rating we're all bucking for. And 00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:24.180 if I blow it, I'll be on the unemployment line. 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.779 No, no, no, not you, Skye. That's why the kingpin 00:07:26.779 --> 00:07:29.720 picture. Now, you better go right on up. He wants 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.899 to see you to kick a couple of ideas around. 00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:34.500 Ah, you know something, Harry? What? You either 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:36.680 cured my headache or arranged I'll never have 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.720 one again. What does that mean? The Bianchi account. 00:07:40.019 --> 00:07:42.019 If I don't cut it, I won't have to worry about 00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:44.600 headaches anymore. Old kingpin Peabody will hand 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:54.339 me my head in the basket. Once again, not too 00:07:54.339 --> 00:07:56.699 lightly for Mr. Lipscomb and me, okay? Right. 00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.040 You don't want to miss your train, Skye.

Do you 00:11:18.450 --> 00:11:20.990 really care? Well, it would be necessary eventually 00:11:20.990 --> 00:11:23.769 just to satisfy the accountants, you know. Social 00:11:23.769 --> 00:11:26.929 Security and Uncle Sam. Dear me, does everyone 00:11:26.929 --> 00:11:30.690 have to know all about us?

Oh, I have no idea 00:11:58.659 --> 00:12:00.980 who you are or what you are, but would you be 00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:04.279 interested in this? You, Skyler. No, look, honestly, 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.460 I mean, this is strictly a business arrangement. 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.720 I have a campaign in mind using you as the central 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.720 figure... I don't know what you want to call 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.740 it, Schuyler, but as far as we're concerned, 00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:16.820 there needn't be any embarrassment or cover -up. 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.279 Don't we both know what we really want? No, now 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:26.580 come on, Deirdre. Don't put me on. I'm not. You're 00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:30.799 the one who turned me on, Schuyler.

I 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.700 am honest to God leveling about this big ad campaign 00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:38.659 and how perfect you are for it and how much money 00:12:38.659 --> 00:12:40.419 you could make if it all goes the way I think 00:12:40.419 --> 00:12:45.179 it could. If you insist, Skyler. Anything. But 00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:47.480 if we have to talk about something other than 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.340 ourselves, would you mind getting me a drink? 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:53.799 Oh, sure. Sure. I could use one myself. What'll 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:58.360 it be? It doesn't matter. You pick it. Just hurry 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:10.759 back. Oh, don't worry. Just don't vanish.

This 00:13:33.220 --> 00:13:35.379 time it's no dream. I've been talking to her 00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:37.980 all the way up the line. What do you want me 00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:39.620 to say, Mr. Harris? Well, I want to know where 00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:43.620 the girl went. Mr. Harris, we've been riding 00:13:43.620 --> 00:13:46.759 this line a long time together. You don't want 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.879 to make no scene. Benji, all I'm asking is what... 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.460 I get the message. So what do you want me to 00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:55.820 say? If there was this girl, maybe she got off 00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:59.519 at the last stop or the one before. But she couldn't 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.799 have. Mr. Harris, you've been cold turkey the 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:07.350 last ten miles. Now, maybe this girl was here, 00:14:07.370 --> 00:14:10.649 I don't know, or maybe you just had one too many. 00:14:11.029 --> 00:14:13.950 Excuse me, we're coming into the station. This 00:14:13.950 --> 00:14:23.570 is where you get off. A man who doesn't realize 00:14:23.570 --> 00:14:26.250 how near the end of his emotional rope he is. 00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:31.350 A girl named Girdra who promises desire as sensually 00:14:31.350 --> 00:14:35.230 as a centerfold in today's magazines. a suburban 00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:38.190 family who awaits the return of the husband and 00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:43.570 father as routine. And the disaster we know is 00:14:43.570 --> 00:14:46.590 to happen. We'll start to fit the pieces of the 00:14:46.590 --> 00:14:49.750 jigsaw together when I return shortly with Act 00:14:49.750 --> 00:15:03.909 Two. One of the minor sad comedies of the world, 00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:06.700 is the faces of the wives as they meet their 00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:09.940 returning commuter husbands. As the trains get 00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:13.980 later and later, the faces get denser and denser. 00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:16.700 Till finally, as the last commuter train pulls 00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:21.419 in, and Aaron Hubby pours himself off, the wife's 00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:26.440 eyes roll helplessly heavenwards. Hi, Isabel, 00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:29.799 baby. How was your day? My day was miserable, 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.159 and most of my night was worse. Really? What 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:34.519 do you mean, night? Well, it's just about half 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.779 over. Do you know you're well over two hours 00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:41.620 late? This is the fourth train I've met. The 00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:43.460 least you might have done is called. Well, honey, 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.460 look, I'm sorry. It was a big day at the office. 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:47.360 I was swamped, and on top of that... Oh, don't 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.860 give me that, Skye. When you weren't on the early 00:15:49.860 --> 00:15:51.480 train, I called the office, and they told me 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.240 you left in plenty of time to catch it. Well, 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.399 that's right. That's right. I know. I did. But 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.419 look, it's big news, hon. I got handed the plumb 00:15:58.419 --> 00:16:01.860 of my career today. The Bianchi account. So? 00:16:02.329 --> 00:16:04.750 Is that any reason to go out and get stoned? 00:16:05.210 --> 00:16:07.590 Oh, have a heart, Isabelle. I handle this, right? 00:16:07.649 --> 00:16:10.110 I'll end up a VP. Well, you handle it the way 00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:12.809 you started off, and you're gonna end up PNG 00:16:12.809 --> 00:16:16.429 at home. Well, now, what does that mean? Persona 00:16:16.429 --> 00:16:19.570 non grata. Somebody not wanted. No, no, no. I 00:16:19.570 --> 00:16:21.590 know what persona non grata means. Well, what 00:16:21.590 --> 00:16:23.409 do you mean about me not being wanted? Well, 00:16:23.509 --> 00:16:25.450 you've already got two out of three of us feeling 00:16:25.450 --> 00:16:28.690 that way right at the moment. Okay. You and who 00:16:28.690 --> 00:16:32.370 else? Gary! Obviously you've forgotten you promised 00:16:32.370 --> 00:16:34.169 to be home early while there was still enough 00:16:34.169 --> 00:16:36.950 light to give him a driving lesson. Oh, so that's 00:16:36.950 --> 00:16:38.990 such a big deal. Everybody has to snap their 00:16:38.990 --> 00:16:41.690 corks, I mean. It is when the driving lesson 00:16:41.690 --> 00:16:43.950 was to be on the way to the basketball team's 00:16:43.950 --> 00:16:46.169 father and son dinner, which you promised to 00:16:46.169 --> 00:16:49.929 attend with him. Oh... Damn, Isabelle, I forgot. 00:16:50.169 --> 00:16:51.870 You see, I was so up to my ears that it just... 00:16:51.870 --> 00:16:54.649 You couldn't have been so far up. You couldn't 00:16:54.649 --> 00:16:57.210 put a phone to one of them and let us know. Well, 00:16:57.250 --> 00:16:59.870 I told you, Isabelle. I forgot. Now, you're not 00:16:59.870 --> 00:17:01.990 going to tell me that you also forgot you have 00:17:01.990 --> 00:17:04.750 a wife who meets you at the station six nights 00:17:04.750 --> 00:17:07.170 a week these days. Well, I'm sorry, but it's 00:17:07.170 --> 00:17:08.950 the truth. I mean, honest to Pete, Isabelle, 00:17:08.970 --> 00:17:13.049 I've had a lousy day. I... Oh, I... Oh, all right. 00:17:13.430 --> 00:17:19.940 I'm sorry, Isabelle. So am I, Skye. About you, 00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:28.839 I mean. It's just... Just what? Skye... I've 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:32.200 been worried about you lately. I guess I'm tense 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.900 because you're tense. Well, who's tense? Come 00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:37.920 off it. I'm not the only one who's noticed it. 00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:40.819 Even Liza's worried about you. Oh, now what have 00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:43.740 I done to her? It isn't so much what you've done 00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:47.170 as what you haven't. You've been neglecting a 00:17:47.170 --> 00:17:50.089 daughter who needs her father very much. Why? 00:17:50.670 --> 00:17:54.210 She's 12 years old. You're a big man in her life. 00:17:54.210 --> 00:17:56.430 Okay, Isabel. Okay. Can we knock it off for now? 00:17:56.869 --> 00:17:58.869 I just don't want to go into the house bickering. 00:17:59.609 --> 00:18:02.289 Neither do I, Scott. Especially not in front 00:18:02.289 --> 00:18:06.869 of the kids. Okay. Truths, huh? And before we 00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:14.180 go in, apology? Accepted. I guess I have been 00:18:14.180 --> 00:18:16.599 off my feed, honey. It's over work, you know? 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:23.259 Well, I hope that's all. What else? Well, it's 00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:26.160 silly of me, I suppose, but it isn't another 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.740 woman, is it, Scott? Oh, of course not, Isabelle. 00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:32.460 Now, now, come on. Let's get inside. I need a 00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:40.359 drink. Chrysler Model Agency?

Well, it'd be a little 00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:54.400 easier for me to keep my mind on business out 00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:58.720 here. Besides, you... you never mix that drink. 00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:10.559 I decided on headier wine. There. Now, isn't 00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:21.049 this what you really want from me? Huh? Oh, no. 00:26:21.190 --> 00:26:23.930 What the devil is... You'd better go see before 00:26:23.930 --> 00:26:26.369 he wakes up the whole building. Oh, I was sound 00:26:26.369 --> 00:26:33.130 asleep. All right, I won't be a second. Who is 00:26:33.130 --> 00:26:36.049 it? What is it? Open the door, Scotty, and hurry. 00:26:38.809 --> 00:26:41.069 Well, take the chain off and let me in. Harry, 00:26:41.130 --> 00:26:45.400 what do you want? Oh. Oh, that way, huh? Well, 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:47.400 I should have figured. Well, you better ditch 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.180 her fast and get on home. Isabella's frantic. 00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:50.700 She's been trying to reach you all evening, and 00:26:50.700 --> 00:26:52.980 she finally got in touch with me. What is it? 00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:56.160 Your boy, Gary. He's had an accident with the 00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.579 car. It's a concussion. I don't know how bad. 00:26:58.819 --> 00:27:00.420 Now, I've got a cab waiting. If you only get... 00:27:00.420 --> 00:27:02.119 No, no, Harry, look. I've got to get dressed. 00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.839 Thanks. For nothing. Now, you make sure you get 00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.119 rid of that chick and get home where you belong. 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:13.849 Okay, okay, Harry. Oh. Deirdre, I didn't know 00:27:13.849 --> 00:27:17.029 you were standing there. You heard? I know. Home. 00:27:17.990 --> 00:27:22.009 What about you? We haven't even talked about... 00:27:22.009 --> 00:27:25.289 Deirdre, I can't lose you again. I promised you 00:27:25.289 --> 00:27:29.990 you wouldn't. I'll be waiting. It doesn't matter 00:27:29.990 --> 00:27:34.750 about tonight. Not anymore now. Because you know 00:27:34.750 --> 00:27:41.509 there's always tomorrow. And tomorrow. And tomorrow. 00:27:48.430 --> 00:27:53.869 Oh, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this 00:27:53.869 --> 00:27:58.490 petty pace from day to day to the last syllable 00:27:58.490 --> 00:28:03.089 of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have 00:28:03.089 --> 00:28:08.269 lighted fools the way to dusty death. So mourns 00:28:08.269 --> 00:28:11.029 Shakespeare's Macbeth for the death of his lady. 00:28:11.890 --> 00:28:15.170 How much will our lady called Deirdre mourn the 00:28:15.170 --> 00:28:19.420 death of her lover? We'll return shortly with 00:28:19.420 --> 00:28:33.220 Act Three. No better introduction for what's 00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:37.460 to come, but the rest of Macbeth's lament. Out, 00:28:37.700 --> 00:28:42.380 out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, 00:28:43.059 --> 00:28:46.240 a poor player that struts and frecks his hour 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:50.220 upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It 00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:54.660 is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and 00:28:54.660 --> 00:29:00.519 fury, signifying nothing. And then to the messenger 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:08.019 who came, he said, thy story, quickly. Deirdre? 00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:13.859 Skyler. Thank God you're still there. That's 00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:16.140 all I wanted to know. Look, I can't talk now. 00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.319 I'll be at the apartment as soon as I can. Will 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:21.099 you wait? Through eternity, lover. I've got to 00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:27.619 hang up. God, what are you doing up? Oh, it's 00:29:27.619 --> 00:29:29.319 all right, honey. I've just got to get to the 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.339 office. You're going into town today? Yeah, I 00:29:32.339 --> 00:29:34.140 have to. You see, the deadline on the Bianchi 00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:36.299 accounts day after tomorrow. I've got my work 00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:38.599 cut out to meet it. I doubt if I can even get 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.319 back tonight. Perhaps not even tomorrow night. 00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:44.980 Well, what about Gary? Honey, I checked the hospital 00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:47.500 and he's fine. You knew that when we left at 00:29:47.500 --> 00:29:50.380 four o 'clock this morning. I'm still glad you 00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:53.200 checked again. I thought I heard you on the phone 00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:56.880 coming downstairs. Well, yeah, well, I called 00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.980 a cab too. I can run you to the station in my 00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:01.599 car. No, no, it's all right. It's better this 00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:07.220 way. Hey, you want some coffee? No. My stomach's 00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:11.480 too upset. Sky we could have lost Gary. Well, 00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.440 we didn't honey. So let's not agonize over it. 00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:20.480 I don't know Everything seems so confused like 00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:25.259 there was a sort of curse on us And you worry 00:30:25.259 --> 00:30:31.539 me most of all me you You're like a stranger 00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:35.819 Sky why couldn't I reach you last night? What 00:30:35.819 --> 00:30:38.220 were you doing? I told you Isabelle. I had work 00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:40.900 to do I I didn't want to be interrupted. I took 00:30:40.900 --> 00:30:43.140 the phone off the hook and then I just forgot 00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:46.400 about it. Work seems to be the only thing that 00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:50.279 matters to you nowadays. Skye, you only had two 00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.400 hours sleep. Do you have... Come on, Isabel. 00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:55.519 We haven't got time for messing around. You see, 00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.500 there's my cab. Couldn't you at least take a 00:30:57.500 --> 00:31:00.240 later train? Look, my job depends on this. And 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:08.190 you won't be home tonight. I doubt it. And, brother, 00:31:08.509 --> 00:31:11.549 I kid you not, you are in big trouble, Skye. 00:31:11.890 --> 00:31:14.730 Now, Peabody is really on the warpath. The only 00:31:14.730 --> 00:31:16.789 thing saving your neck for a day or so is that 00:31:16.789 --> 00:31:18.549 Bristol Proctor's in town. Oh, Harry, please, 00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:20.390 will you lay off me? I've got everything under 00:31:20.390 --> 00:31:24.250 control. Oh, boy, that is for laughs. Oh, now 00:31:24.250 --> 00:31:26.549 I get the whole picture. Why, you're off the 00:31:26.549 --> 00:31:28.710 rails on the sauce and running hot and cold flashes. 00:31:29.709 --> 00:31:32.130 Well, if you think some chick is worth what you're 00:31:32.130 --> 00:31:34.150 heading for, come on, let me give you some advice. 00:31:34.369 --> 00:31:37.170 The only thing I want from you, Harry, is technical 00:31:37.170 --> 00:31:40.569 advice in your specialty. What? I want to take 00:31:40.569 --> 00:31:43.269 some pictures of a girl. Bring her into the studio 00:31:43.269 --> 00:31:45.150 here. No, no, no, that's just the trouble. She 00:31:45.150 --> 00:31:46.910 won't come here, and I'm only gambling that if 00:31:46.910 --> 00:31:48.890 she'll let anyone shoot her, it'll be me. What 00:31:48.890 --> 00:31:51.170 do you know from cameras? You're an idea man. 00:31:51.509 --> 00:31:54.049 Now look. Do me a favor. Let's set up the copy 00:31:54.049 --> 00:31:56.410 like you suggested and let me pick the girl. 00:31:56.710 --> 00:31:58.829 Harry, listen, I've got the girl. If only you 00:31:58.829 --> 00:32:01.450 can get me a camera that's reasonably foolproof, 00:32:01.470 --> 00:32:03.690 I can get good enough stuff for the sample layout. 00:32:03.849 --> 00:32:05.950 Then we can take it from there. Gale, is that 00:32:05.950 --> 00:32:09.289 sensational? Take my word for it. Well, I can 00:32:09.289 --> 00:32:13.930 give you a Meklon 35 85mm lens. A micro blitz 00:32:13.930 --> 00:32:16.130 strobe with high -speed ectochrome film. That's 00:32:16.130 --> 00:32:18.150 okay. You name it. Just show me how to use it. 00:32:18.150 --> 00:32:19.869 Oh, you don't have to worry too much about the 00:32:19.869 --> 00:32:21.869 strobe even. The film will take natural light 00:32:21.869 --> 00:32:24.430 and I'll push it and develop it. Okay, get me 00:32:24.430 --> 00:32:26.269 the camera. I'll be back with the picture in 00:32:26.269 --> 00:32:35.529 an hour. Are you having fun, Skyler? Oh, Deirdre, 00:32:35.529 --> 00:32:38.349 this isn't a game. This could mean our whole 00:32:38.349 --> 00:32:41.630 future. It could indeed. Yeah, just like that, 00:32:41.630 --> 00:32:43.640 just like that. I'm glad you let me talk you 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:45.319 into taking the pictures. You won't be sorry. 00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:48.940 I'm just very much afraid you will be, Skylar. 00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:54.859 Oh, damn. Sky, dear, I forgot to ask you. Cutting 00:32:54.859 --> 00:32:56.819 out your wife? Well, I've got to finish these 00:32:56.819 --> 00:33:02.660 pictures. I... Petra, why did you say I'd be 00:33:02.660 --> 00:33:06.640 sorry I took them? Skylar, baby, I really don't 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:15.009 photograph very well. You'll see. Ah, you got 00:33:15.009 --> 00:33:17.109 the prints, Harry. That's great. Well, I don't 00:33:17.109 --> 00:33:19.009 know how great you're going to think it is. Huh? 00:33:19.190 --> 00:33:21.470 Come on, what do you mean? Well, I don't know 00:33:21.470 --> 00:33:24.009 what I mean. Look, I just don't see how you could 00:33:24.009 --> 00:33:26.349 have gotten everything so gummed up. All right, 00:33:26.349 --> 00:33:30.750 just let me see. Help yourself. Everything's 00:33:30.750 --> 00:33:32.609 so out of focus, you can't tell a lamp from a 00:33:32.609 --> 00:33:35.849 couch. And it's for the girl. Well, you find 00:33:35.849 --> 00:33:39.150 her. I can't. Well, I don't... She was right. 00:33:40.170 --> 00:33:43.660 If that's the couch, she should be... Now, wait 00:33:43.660 --> 00:33:46.720 a minute. Let me see in this one. No, this one 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:53.619 is... Uh -uh. Oh, Harry. How could I have faked 00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:59.640 out so badly? You got me. Uh, Skye. Level? Yeah. 00:33:59.819 --> 00:34:01.640 Is this some kind of a stupid put on? I mean, 00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.720 what are you trying to pull on me? Nothing, Harry. 00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:05.960 Honest. I shot the film at all the openings, 00:34:06.220 --> 00:34:08.039 the shutter speeds. I mean, everything that you 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.699 laid out for me. It all came out like this? Yeah. 00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:16.269 Well... Okay. Well, we got to figure, maybe the 00:34:16.269 --> 00:34:18.909 film was bad or the lens crystallized or something. 00:34:19.530 --> 00:34:21.809 Well, let's go back. I bring other equipment 00:34:21.809 --> 00:34:24.670 and this time we bring home the bacon. No, no, 00:34:24.670 --> 00:34:26.590 no, Harry. She wouldn't let you shoot her. I 00:34:26.590 --> 00:34:29.190 can't explain, but... All right, so forget her. 00:34:29.809 --> 00:34:34.710 I can't. I can't, Harry. I've got to take one 00:34:34.710 --> 00:34:37.889 more crack at it. Just one more. Oh, man, you're 00:34:37.889 --> 00:34:41.380 crazy. Would you help me? You won't let me. Some 00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:46.320 kind of camera that I just can't fail with. Well, 00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:49.260 okay. Look, I'll give you an instant.

Just a second 00:39:05.420 --> 00:39:11.260 ago, three hours after I shot her, I rose. and 00:39:11.260 --> 00:39:15.000 touched her cheek.

I don't think 00:41:14.539 --> 00:41:26.139 she ever existed. Did the detective mean to say, 00:41:26.380 --> 00:41:30.260 figments of the imagination? Or was his choice 00:41:30.260 --> 00:41:35.289 of firmament perhaps nearer the truth? Was Deirdre 00:41:35.289 --> 00:41:39.110 more finite than he believed? Was she somebody 00:41:39.110 --> 00:41:43.329 of incarnate evil clothed in beauty who still 00:41:43.329 --> 00:41:46.769 stalks the day and the night, looking for other 00:41:46.769 --> 00:42:01.750 prey?

And before 00:42:23.070 --> 00:42:27.429 you succumb to temptation, remember, at the best, 00:42:27.889 --> 00:42:31.289 she's apt to burn a hole in your pocket.
