00:00:04:<i>The French essayist,</i>|<i>Michel de Montaigne, once said...</i>
00:00:08:<i>"I think there is more barbarity</i>|<i>in eating a man alive...</i>
00:00:13:<i>than in eating him dead."
00:00:17:<i>The wisdom of it.</i>
00:00:27:<i>When you're a kid</i>|<i>with an open soul...</i>
00:00:29:<i>they tell you the world consists|of good guys and bad guys.</i>
00:00:36:<i>I always liked the bad guys.</i>
00:00:41:<i>Scarface over Superman.</i>
00:00:46:<i>The psychology of depravity was far more</i>|<i>compelling to my Manichaean imagination...</i>
00:00:51:<i>than a portrait of benevolence.</i>
00:00:59:<i>The truth is, good and</i>|<i>bad are not so absolute.</i>
00:02:15:<i>As for me...</i>
00:02:17:<i>there are times I'd give a thumb</i>|<i>for a little benevolence.</i>
00:03:18:You gave me a "D."|I don't get D's.
00:03:22:When you do "D" work, you get a "D."
00:03:25:We're fucking, Eli.
00:03:27:- What, you're fucking me for a good grade?|- No.
00:03:31:<i>So I leave you with a question.</i>
00:03:34:A northern California dairy farmer|murders three young girls...
00:03:39:<i>performs sexual acts</i>|<i>with their dead bodies...</i>
00:03:42:and then eats portions|of their fleshy thighs.
00:03:45:Is the dairy farmer crazy?
00:03:47:Fuck, yeah.
00:03:49:Let me give you a hint.|This is not a question...
00:03:51:that can be answered|with a "yes" or a "no" or a "fuck, yeah."
00:03:57:Empty. Empty. Empty.
00:04:00:Did you even buy|a cup of coffee today?
00:04:05:Just out of curiosity,|how many days old...
00:04:08:<i>is that raggedy cup you keep|filling with our free milk?</i>
00:04:12:- Hmm. Three.|- So I'm gonna have to confiscate your cup.
00:04:15:Oh!
00:04:22:I'm enjoying this...|so much.
00:04:31:Three pages on my desk by Monday.
00:04:34:Thank you all.
00:04:42:Just a second, you.|Next time you're late for this class...
00:04:45:you're gonna trip on your way out|and break your shooting thumb.
00:04:49:You get me?

00:05:11:Right now I am stuck in a deep life rut here.|It's a grave-like trench.
00:05:16:You see, I'm trying|to finish my Ph.D. thesis...
00:05:20:<i>and get by on a $35-a-week|allowance from my father, okay?</i>
00:05:24:So as much as I would love|to spend the $4.40 on a...
00:05:28:Mocha Spin and a seeded baguette...
00:05:31:I am constantly reminded|of the words of Samuel Johnson-
00:05:34:Why would you give|your own lover a "D"?
00:05:39:Beth, I am disappointed that you|would expect preferential treatment.
00:05:44:It's bullshit, Eli.|It's bullshit.
00:05:47:<i>You're punishing me.</i>|<i>You are.</i>
00:05:50:You're punishing me|for sleeping with you.
00:05:54:"There mark what ills|the scholar's life assail-

00:06:10:- Hello. Speaking.|- The office got a call.
00:06:13:Seems as though your husband|won the Nobel Prize.
00:06:18:<i>Well, that should cement his ego.</i>
00:06:23:Hey, it's not every day|somebody wins the bowling trophy...
00:06:26:let alone the Nobel Prize.
00:06:28:Barkley Michaelson,|your father called.
00:06:32:He has just won the Nobel Prize.
00:06:39:Lucky fucking son of a bitch.
00:06:42:<i>Congratulations.</i>
00:06:48:Congratulations, Dr. Michaelson.|You rock.
00:06:59:Thank you. Thank you.
00:07:01:If anyone in this room ever doubted|my intellectual superiority...
00:07:05:or your great fortune|to be under my incomparable tutelage...
00:07:09:you can now formally|kiss my fine white ass.
00:07:21:- Congratulations, Eli.|- Congratulations, Eli.
00:07:25:Good job.
00:07:33:Well, Eli, I guess this proves|the Nobel's not a popularity contest.
00:07:37:And a good thing, Simon...
00:07:39:'cause if it were, you might|actually have a shot at winning.
00:07:45:- <i> Hey, Ma.</i>|- <i>Hey.</i>
00:07:48:- You look great.|- Thank you.
00:07:50:Is this tie all right?
00:07:52:Did someone forget to tell Dad|that this was a semi-formal affair?
00:07:56:He knew.
00:07:59:Anything to crystallize|his advantage, huh?
00:08:01:- Hmm.|- Where's the chow?
00:08:03:Everyone's very proud of you, Eli.
00:08:06:Well, it's a damn good thing|I won the Nobel...
00:08:08:because now you're gonna|find it hard as hell to fire me.
00:08:12:Oh, I never threatened|to fire you, Eli.
00:08:15:I'm a scientist, Harvey, and the empirical|evidence I'm looking at around here...
00:08:18:tells me no one loves me anymore.
00:08:21:<i>I loved you.</i>
00:08:26:<i>Eli. Look, I'm a scientist too...</i>
00:08:30:and my empirical|observations tell me...
00:08:32:that someone's gonna shoot you|long before I have to fire you.
00:08:35:Young lady- I'm closing my eyes.
00:08:39:Do you really think that little nymph|of a chemistry groupie...
00:08:42:is having an affair|with my ancient, tyrannical dad?
00:08:45:- Mom.|- No. Wait.
00:08:51:Nice of you to come, Beth.|Love the outfit.
00:08:55:Final exams are in two weeks.
00:08:59:If I don't get an "A,"|I'm gonna tell the whole world...
00:09:01:about my scandalous affair with you.
00:09:04:Unfortunately, it won't be the first|Nobel Prize winner with a sex scandal.
00:09:08:Yes, yes. Dr. Carleton Gajdusek|and his Micronesian boys.
00:09:12:I think he was in another league-|sexually, that is.
00:09:15:I'm so totally serious.
00:09:19:An "A" it is.|You earned it.
00:09:22:I like you like this, Beth.
00:09:25:You look naughty.
00:09:28:What I wouldn't do|to tear the clothes...
00:09:33:right off your gorgeous little body|right this very second.
00:09:39:When I get back from Stockholm.|Now, go on. Get out of here.
00:09:53:She feels like I'm abandoning the class|two weeks before their final exam...
00:09:57:which I am in effect doing|by going to Stockholm.
00:10:01:You see, Simon?|At least my students are fond of me.
00:10:04:Oh.
00:10:18:I'd like to thank you all for coming|tonight. Some of you willingly.
00:10:23:Some of you in spite of yourselves.
00:10:27:<i>Tomorrow I'm off</i>|<i>to claim my Nobel Prize.</i>
00:10:33:Joining me will be my wife, Sarah...
00:10:36:<i>who, I am certain...</i>
00:10:38:has only been able to put up with my|manias and eccentricities all these years.
00:10:42:<i>Because her definition</i>|<i>of"crazy"is so narrow.</i>
00:10:46:Hell, she convinced a jury|that Jeffrey Dahmer wasn't crazy...
00:10:51:thus, of course, negating|his insanity defense...
00:10:55:and engineering|his terminal incarceration.
00:11:01:Sarah.
00:11:06:<i>And we will be accompanied</i>|<i>by my one and only son, Barkley...</i>
00:11:10:who has just about ensured that my work|in single-molecule spectroscopy...
00:11:14:will not have a natural heir.
00:11:17:With his summa cum laude degree|from Princeton under his belt...
00:11:23:he has instead turned his scholarly|attentions to cannibalism...
00:11:28:and the challenges of Gameboy.
00:11:32:Now he just has|to figure out how to make a living...
00:11:36:out of such rarefied expertise.
00:11:40:Barkley.
00:11:44:In 1975 when " Love Will|Keep Us Together"-
00:11:47:- Go on. I'll cover for you.|- Thanks.
00:11:51:Hey, good luck with that girl.|What was her name?
00:11:53:- Nice try, Mom.|- <i>Hey.</i>
00:11:55:Be there at 9:00.|The flight's 11:30.
00:11:58:And it was then that I realized...
00:12:04:<i>that it was both possible</i>|<i>and necessary...</i>

00:14:03:Hey. Um, do you|remember me? Barkley?
00:14:06:I introduced myself a few weeks ago.
00:14:09:That was just-|You're so-
00:14:12:- God- uh, good.|- Thank you.
00:14:16:I am sometimes able to speak|in complete sentences.
00:14:20:There. That was one.
00:14:22:Suck my lips. Open yourself wide|to the great conquering me.
00:14:28:I'd love to talk to you sometime...
00:14:30:about your inspirations|or... whatever.
00:14:33:- Okay.|- O-Okay. Like we can talk now?
00:14:36:- Sure.|- Wow. Okay. Yeah.
00:14:43:I wish I could offer to buy you|a hamburger or something...
00:14:45:- but I don't have any money at all right-|- I'm a vegetarian.
00:14:49:That's a good thing,|especially if I ever have to eat you...
00:14:51:because vegetarians,|they taste better than carrion eaters.
00:14:57:You see, I'm doing my Ph.D.|thesis in anthropophagy-
00:14:59:- Cannibalism.|- Yeah.
00:15:02:- Everybody trivializes it, but there's a lot of-|- Who?
00:15:06:Some cruel, small-minded...

00:15:12:He's a Democrat,|but the rest is accurate.
00:15:15:Your father.
00:15:16:Mm-hmm.
00:15:18:I had a father.
00:15:21:He found my journals|when I was 15, and he burned them.
00:15:26:My poems. My thoughts.
00:15:29:My drawings.|Everything I was.
00:15:32:Incinerated.
00:15:34:Oh, my God. H-

00:16:23:Now I just wear them|to freak people out at stoplights.
00:16:25:All right.
00:16:30:A gift from me to you.
00:16:31:No. It's too generous.|I couldn't possibly accept.
00:16:34:Don't take that off!|I- I gave it to you.
00:16:38:You have to wear it.
00:16:57:- So you're really broke?|- Yes.
00:17:00:Prove it.|I wanna see your balance.
00:17:03:- You're kidding, right?|- No.
00:17:07:But you got to wear the mask.
00:17:11:- I gave it to you. Come on.|- This is crazy. What?
00:17:15:Crazy's just a choice, Barkley.
00:17:18:O- Okay, okay.
00:17:21:<i>Hurry up, Barkley!</i>|<i>I'm hungry!</i>
00:17:31:You didn't lie to me, Barkley.

00:17:54:Wow.
00:18:08:Do you have any idea|how talented you are? Uh-
00:18:13:Okay.
00:18:27:Wow.
00:18:32:This is pretty, uh-
00:18:39:You don't taste so bad to me,|carnivore that you claim to be.

00:18:58:- Who morphs into a cat by night?|- <i>No.</i>
00:19:01:He's a cat thief.
00:19:03:He steals anything you leave lying around,|and then you never see it again.
00:19:07:That would make me somewhat anxious.
00:19:15:Barkley.
00:19:19:Am I beautiful?
00:19:21:God, yes.
00:19:24:Don't hurt me.

00:21:00:Mmm.
00:21:05:<i>I hope nothing's happened to him.</i>
00:21:08:<i>Nothing happened to him.</i>|<i>He probably just found a way to get laid.</i>
00:21:12:This is so typical of that kid.
00:21:14:It's not typical of him.|He hasn't dated anyone since Meredith.
00:21:18:And that cost me $20,000|for a marriage that lasted three minutes.
00:21:22:They were married for over a year.
00:21:26:Ah, to hell with him. If he's going to be|this irresponsible, we're going without him.
00:21:31:Oh, Eli.
00:21:33:I got rid of all my wallpaper.
00:21:37:- I like it without the wallpaper.|- The thing is...
00:21:39:I found out that wallpaper glue...
00:21:42:promotes the growth|of microorganisms.
00:21:45:Hmm. The place|looks terrific, George.
00:21:48:I like it. And the flowering plants,|they really cheer the place up.
00:21:52:I'm living with pollen.
00:21:55:I'm so-|The limo's here, and we're off now.
00:21:57:I'll water the plants...
00:22:00:tend to the garbage...
00:22:02:and I'll make sure|that the outside lights are out.
00:22:05:- Okay.|- And I'll make you a detailed report.
00:22:09:Oh, thank you, George. Um-
00:22:12:Could you just do me|one other small favor?
00:22:15:Wha-Wha-wha-what was that favor?
00:22:19:If you see Barkley, could you tell him|that his tickets are on the table...
00:22:22:by the phone in the kitchen?
00:22:25:Bar- But isn't he coming with you?
00:22:27:Well, we can't seem to locate him.|I'm sure he's gonna be home any minute.
00:22:31:He can take the car|and drive it to the airport.
00:22:33:He can park it there.|Tell him I'll pay for the parking. Okay?
00:22:38:Look, I'll look-|I'll look out for him.
00:22:41:- Okay. Thank you.|- But I usually hear him come in with his bicycle.
00:22:45:Because when he hangs it|on those hooks, the whole floor shakes.
00:22:50:- Okay. Thank you, George.|- I have to leave in 74 minutes.
00:22:53:Okay.
00:22:54:Sarah. Sarah.

00:25:31:<i>I already know you're not gonna call me</i>|<i>like you promised because I know you're a liar.</i>
00:25:35:<i>You swore you didn't</i>|<i>have any money last night...</i>

00:26:08:Enough! Will you shut|the fuck up already!
00:26:10:<i>Barkley, this is your father,</i>|<i>and I'm angry.</i>
00:26:12:<i>I just hope that whatever you're getting|out of your invidious behavior...</i>
00:26:15:- <i>is worth it.</i>|- Oh, you're angry.
00:26:17:Well, fuck you, Eli.|I'm angrier.
00:26:19:And my invidious behavior|is going to be well worth it.
00:26:30:Shh.

00:27:03:Bravo, George.|Bravo.
00:27:06:<i>All those years at the|Billingsworth Psychiatric Hospital...</i>

00:27:55:- <i>We really should be boarding, Mr. Michaelson.</i>|- Doctor.

00:29:03:Hello.
00:29:07:Dr. Michaelson...
00:29:09:the captain would like to say|how very pleased he is...
00:29:13:to have you on board, sir.
00:29:16:Because I won the Nobel Prize...
00:29:18:or because I inspire|his latent homoerotic wet dreams?
00:29:25:I'm so sorry.
00:29:27:You see, the genius part|of his brain is so big...
00:29:31:that it's just swallowed up|the civilized part of his brain...
00:29:34:causing this monstrous|antisocial behavior.
00:29:41:Take me to my captain.
00:29:43:He can tell me in person.
00:29:45:Please take your seat, sir.

00:31:35:The phone's traceable to a house|about four miles from here.
00:31:39:Damn I'm good.
00:31:47:<i>I hope you like oranges.</i>|<i>There's a tree out back.</i>
00:31:50:We got-We got lots of oranges.

00:31:55:Nice try. Here.
00:32:00:<i> You got to-</i>|<i>You got to dive for it.</i>

00:32:22:Hello.|Dr. Eli Michaelson, please.
00:32:25:Please help! Help me, somebody!|Help me, please!
00:32:27:- <i>Hey.</i>|- Help me, please!
00:32:29:Could you hold on a second?
00:32:32:<i>Hey! Help me!</i>|<i>Somebody help me, please!</i>
00:32:38:Don't do that again.
00:32:41:The press interview is at 4:00...
00:32:43:and it's being held|at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
00:32:46:And then we're going|to a reception at the Swedish Academy...
00:32:50:and then cocktails|at the Royal Swedish Academy.
00:32:52:- And then we're expected for dinner-|- Fine. Fine. Drag us wherever.
00:32:56:I just have one question.
00:32:59:Who pays for the stuff|in the little fridge here?
00:33:02:<i>Me or the apologetic</i>|<i>inventor of dynamite?</i>
00:33:08:Eli Michaelson, Nobel laureate.
00:33:12:Hello.|I have your son, Doctor.
00:33:15:He will only survive|if I receive two million unmarked bills.
00:33:20:Oh, bull. Cut the shit, Barkley,|and get your ass on a plane to Sweden.
00:33:27:- I wanted to talk to him.|- Sorry.
00:33:33:Well, if we're going to be prompt,|we'd best get a move on.
00:33:41:He hung up.
00:33:50:I need your thumb.
00:33:51:- What?|- We send him your thumb.
00:33:55:- He'll understand the magnitude of the situation.|- No.
00:33:57:No. No.
00:34:00:The thumb. No.
00:34:02:That's-That's the opposable digit.
00:34:04:It's not just a finger.|It's what separates man from beast.
00:34:08:No! No, please!
00:34:10:Please. Look, I'm begging you.|No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:34:13:Hey. No. Look, look, look.|Let me call him. Let me call him.
00:34:16:He's my dad.|He'll listen to me.
00:34:18:My dad's a bastard, but he'll listen to me.|Let me talk to my dad. Please.
00:34:22:He's an asshole. He is.|But he'll listen. Please, let me call him.
00:34:25:I'll let him know how serious this is,|how serious you are. I will.
00:34:38:What is that?
00:34:51:- Hello.|- Dad! Dad! Do not hang up.
00:34:53:Oh, much better without|the voice modulator.
00:34:56:No, that wasn't me.|That was-
00:34:59:m-my kidnapper.
00:35:01:Please, just listen to me, okay?
00:35:04:I am being held hostage|by a very brutal man...
00:35:07:who's going to cut off my thumb|and kill me...
00:35:09:if you do not agree|to his terms, okay?
00:35:12:Dad, I'm in trouble.
00:35:15:Trouble? You bet.
00:35:17:Do you realize|how much I'm gonna have to pay...
00:35:19:to change what was supposed|to be a free ticket to Stockholm?
00:35:22:I'm scared.
00:35:24:<i>Stop fucking with me</i>|<i>and get your ass on a plane.</i>
00:35:28:A.S.A.P.
00:35:29:What are you doing in church?
00:35:32:- Is Mom there? I wanna talk to Mom.|- What are you-
00:35:35:Dad? Dad.
00:35:41:Thumb time?
00:35:43:- That was Barkley, wasn't it?|- He's on his way.
00:35:46:- Hopefully, he'll make it in time.|- He's really on his way?
00:35:49:He sends his love to you, Sarah.
00:35:51:What was he doing in church?
00:35:55:What kind of father treats|his own flesh and blood like that?
00:35:58:Oh, he's a bad one.|Now that he's got the Nobel Prize...
00:36:01:- he's only gonna be worse.|- The Nobel Prize he does not deserve.
00:36:04:Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm sure there's|all kinds of more worthy candidates.
00:36:07:No! It was not|his technique. He stole it.
00:36:10:<i>He probably did.</i>|<i>You know, he is a scumbag.</i>
00:36:14:Who did he steal it from?
00:36:19:- Harriman James.|- Who?
00:36:21:Dear friend of your father's.|He's dead.
00:36:26:Harriman James was my father.
00:36:30:Sorry.
00:36:31:I am.
00:36:33:- I know what a shit my father can be.|- You have no idea.
00:36:36:You have no idea what a shit he is.
00:36:44:Fuck.
00:36:46:Janet Polanyi, Cal-Sci undergrad.|September 2005.
00:36:52:Rema Lahmani, professor of geobiology.|January 2006.
00:36:58:Heather Phillips?|She's in administration.
00:37:02:No.
00:37:04:Beth Chapman.|That was taken three weeks ago.
00:37:07:That man is a beast.
00:37:14:That was my mother.
00:37:16:She was married to Harriman James|at the time.
00:37:21:He was a grad student|in chemistry at Harvard...
00:37:24:who had a radical notion|that one could use laser excitation...
00:37:28:<i>with wide-field microscopy...</i>
00:37:31:in order to observe fluorescence emission|in a single molecule.
00:37:37:This is Harriman's lab book,|September '72.
00:37:41:Pages nine through 16.
00:37:45:<i>The genesis of single-molecule</i>|<i>spectroscopy?</i>
00:37:48:Yeah.
00:37:50:Harriman James and Eli Michaelson|were best friends.
00:37:54:So my father and your mother,|they had an affair?
00:38:00:When my mother got pregnant...
00:38:03:Harriman James killed himself.
00:38:07:See, he knew he was sterile.
00:38:11:- Does my father know this?|- Of course he knows it.
00:38:14:- Do you know him? Have you met him?|- No.
00:38:18:Wait. So you're my...|brother.
00:38:20:Half brother.
00:38:23:What's your name?
00:38:25:Thaddeus...
00:38:28:James.
00:38:30:Look, I understand where|you're coming from, Thaddeus...
00:38:34:and I even think that you're,|I mean, somewhat justified.
00:38:38:<i>Taking his Nobel Prize money.</i>
00:38:40:<i>That seems like</i>|<i>the appropriate way...</i>
00:38:42:to avenge the memory of your fath-Thad-|uh, Harriman. Harriman James.
00:38:48:<i>You know what? Better yet, let the world</i>|<i>know who rightfully deserves the credit.</i>
00:38:54:- <i>Right?</i>|- Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:57:<i>All in good time, Barkley.</i>
00:39:00:- But now I'm gonna need your thumb.|- Thaddeus, we're brothers.
00:39:04:- No. We're half brothers.|- Please, no, hey!
00:39:06:I wanna work with you on this.|I am on your side.
00:39:09:Together. Partners.|Don't. Don't. Don't take my thumb!
00:39:57:God.
00:40:03:I bet the king farts|in the privacy of his own limo.
00:40:08:And a lot of other places|if he eats like that every night.
00:40:12:I bet he has a manservant...
00:40:14:whose sole responsibility is to|take the blame for the king's farts.
00:40:27:<i>What's this?</i>
00:40:29:That came for Mrs. Michaelson|this afternoon, Doctor.
00:40:33:Really? I'm not expecting anything.
00:40:38:Well, open it.|The Unabomber is in jail.
00:40:44:You open it.
00:41:24:Hello.
00:41:28:Oh, my God.
00:41:38:Oh, yes.|This is subtle.
00:41:40:<i>I talked to Johannson|in Stockholm.</i>
00:41:43:They're not gonna release the thumb|until they've run their own tests.
00:41:47:- How long will that be?|- I don't know.
00:41:49:You might wanna find|a new hiding place.
00:41:51:Under the flowerpot's too easy.
00:41:54:- We've hid it there for 20 years.|- <i>Okay.</i>
00:41:57:So you've been lucky|for 20 years, Eli...
00:42:00:and your luck just ran out.
00:42:02:It was 10:15 when I went.|I was already late.
00:42:06:I have to leave the house|at-at-at 10:09 to get to work.
00:42:12:I waited.|I waited until 10:15.
00:42:17:I usually leave at 10:09.
00:42:24:I thought they said no cops.
00:42:26:- Sir, do you have call waiting?|- No!
00:42:29:Just a question.
00:42:31:- Detective.|- Relyea.
00:42:33:We checked every operating church|in San Gabriel Valley and came up empty.
00:42:36:- Sorry, ma'am.|- Bill, we gotta go through these leads.
00:42:39:I've been over|and over this in my head.
00:42:42:I'm sure that's what he said. He was|going to Equator Books to meet a girl.
00:42:46:Her name is...|Capitol Hill or something.
00:42:50:Let's try the Equator Books thing.
00:42:52:I didn't hear the bicycle.|I didn't hear him come in.
00:42:56:I listened, Sarah.|I listened.
00:43:41:Let me make you something to eat.|You haven't eaten all day.
00:43:45:- Max, I'm- I'm not hungry.|- <i></i>
00:43:49:The smell of Max Mariner's world-famous|scrambled eggs and burnt toast...
00:43:55:will make you hungry.
00:43:58:Does it have to be burnt?
00:44:01:For you, I'll make an exception.
00:44:07:- You're a good guy, Max.|- No.
00:44:10:Not to everyone.|But I'm crazy about you.
00:44:16:Sorry.
00:44:25:But I would be worried.
00:44:28:The thumb and, you know,|the violence of the act.
00:44:31:But it's a real possibility|that it's not Barkley's thumb at all.
00:44:36:There were four thumb-related|crimes in the L.A. area...
00:44:41:in the last three weeks.
00:44:43:Huh.
00:44:45:I hope it is his thumb.
00:44:52:If it's somebody else's thumb...
00:44:56:then this kidnapper is|a calculating psychopath.
00:45:02:He's thinking it through|step by step.
00:45:06:And he doesn't wanna deal|with a suffering, hysterical captive.
00:45:11:So he very rationally went out...
00:45:15:and amputated someone's thumb...
00:45:17:some random victim.
00:45:20:Made his life a whole lot easier.
00:45:23:On the other hand...
00:45:25:if it is Barkley's thumb...
00:45:30:then they're sloppy.
00:45:34:And they are holed up somewhere...
00:45:36:with my very bloody, hysterical son.
00:45:42:And his anguish...
00:45:46:and his...|profuse bleeding...
00:45:50:are making them crazy...
00:45:52:and they are gonna be|a whole lot easier...
00:45:55:to find or thwart or-
00:46:01:or something.
00:46:05:And Barkley will|never be good at golf.
00:46:11:Requires thumbs.
00:46:16:<i>I lay there in a bath</i>|<i>of my own excrement...</i>
00:46:22:inhaling the pungent aroma...
00:46:24:<i>the smell of life's bottom line.</i>
00:46:29:<i>The morning light bled</i>|<i>through the angry slats.</i>
00:46:32:I feel like I need a shower.
00:46:34:Powerful, isn't it?
00:46:36:Capitol Hill.
00:46:39:Does that name ring a bell?
00:46:41:- There's a City Hall who sometimes reads.|- Hmm.
00:46:44:- Provides to the craven and needy.|- Do you recognize this guy?
00:46:48:Oh, yes.|That's Barkley Michaelson.
00:46:50:That's his table.
00:46:52:He sits there day after day...
00:46:54:playing with his, uh, Gameboy|and daydreaming about cannibals.
00:46:58:- Cannibals?|- Yes. His thesis.
00:47:01:Strange chap, you know.
00:47:03:I tell him that his father has won the Nobel|Prize, and do you know what he says?
00:47:07:"That lucky fucking son of a bitch."|Can you believe that?
00:47:11:Yeah. Well, you'd believe that|if you ever met his father.
00:47:14:Anything else?
00:47:17:Um, there's a bike, yes.
00:47:20:It's been out there for days now.|I think it's his.
00:47:23:<i> Thank you.</i>
00:47:24:Me?
00:47:26:Excuse me.
00:47:31:Hello. My name is Clifford...
00:47:34:any my poem today is called|"Death by Drano."
00:47:39:<i>Byron was four</i>|<i>when he took his first sip.</i>
00:47:48:- There's maybe, like, 75 ahead of you.|- Decaf, nonfat...
00:47:52:no foam, extra hot latte...
00:47:54:and a box of Krispy Kremes.
00:47:58:- Do I look cheap to you?|- Cheap? I spent 8.83 on that.
00:48:05:All right.|What do you need?
00:48:07:She goes by City Hall.|It's got to be an alias or something.
00:48:11:You think?
00:48:54:Merry fucking Christmas.
00:48:56:I got something under the tree|for you, asshole.
00:48:58:<i>Santa's got a raging hard-on</i>|<i>for you, baby.</i>
00:49:01:<i>Why don't you take</i>|<i>my Yule log up your chimney?</i>
00:49:04:<i>Suck my North Pole, baby. You looking</i>|<i>at me, asshole? Merry Christmas.</i>
00:49:08:<i>Fuck off, asswipe.</i>|<i>Come on and sit on Santa's lap.</i>
00:49:12:<i>Naughty little girls make</i>|<i>my St. Nick stand at attention.</i>
00:49:14:<i>Ho! Ho! Ho!</i>|<i>Hey, you bald motherfucker.</i>
00:49:17:<i>What are you looking at,</i>|<i>shithead? Shithead. Shithead.</i>
00:49:19:<i>Shithead.</i>|<i>Shithead. Shithead.</i>
00:49:26:Let's do a two-way. This Claus|likes it nasty. Suck my reindeer dick.
00:49:31:<i>Bend over and let me</i>|<i>fill your sock with my stuffing.</i>
00:49:34:Have a great holiday season.
00:50:05:Hello.
00:50:07:- Hi, Sarah.|- Oh, hi, Meg.
00:50:10:<i>I can't talk right now.</i>
00:50:33:- Hello.|- Listen to me carefully.
00:50:36:I'm only gonna say it once.
00:50:38:You are to put two million|in unmarked, untraceable bills...
00:50:41:in the trunk|of the red Mini Cooper...
00:50:43:in the atrium of the Puente Hills mall|on Sunday morning...
00:50:46:at precisely 9:00 a.m.
00:50:49:You are then to go straight home|and wait for instructions...
00:50:51:on where to collect|your whining, miserable son.
00:50:53:I see any cops,|the deal's off and Barkley's dead.
00:50:58:- I need to talk to him before I deal with you.|- He's fine.
00:51:00:I wanna talk to him.|I wanna talk to my son.
00:51:12:- Mom?|- Barkley!
00:51:14:<i>Get me out of this.</i>|<i>Get me out of here, Mom.</i>
00:51:17:Got it.
00:51:19:<i>We're going to.</i>|<i>Bar-Barkley!</i>
00:51:26:I sent your parents|a severed human thumb.
00:51:31:You sent my parents a thumb?
00:51:33:Well, did you really think|we'd get their undivided attention...
00:51:38:with just a picture of you|holding a newspaper?
00:51:41:Whose thumb?
00:51:42:Look, if I had actually|cut off your thumb...
00:51:46:you would've been bloody.
00:51:48:You would've been hysterical and|completely useless to me as a partner.
00:51:52:<i>It's okay to eat the dead</i>|<i>but not to amputate a finger?</i>
00:51:57:<i>Confusing set of rules</i>|<i>you live by, Barkley.</i>
00:52:02:- I'm going to hell for this.|- "Hell is for Children."
00:52:06:- What?|- Pat Benatar.
00:52:10:If they let us trace them,|then they're sloppy. Let's go, guys.
00:52:16:- What exactly does that mean?|- Barkley lost his thumb.
00:52:20:I thought we already knew that.
00:52:22:So here's how it's gonna go. While|your father is pacing in his living room...
00:52:28:<i>wondering if life</i>|<i>is better without you...</i>
00:52:30:<i>Pasadena's finest will</i>|<i>storm the wrong house.</i>
00:52:34:All right. Stay down!
00:52:37:We've, uh, made a mistake.
00:52:40:<i>Meanwhile, at the mall-</i>
00:52:44:Goddamn it.
00:52:45:I told them, no merchandise deliveries|until we finish the framing.
00:52:51:What am I gonna do|with all this shit?
00:52:53:Construction crew|is just looking forward...
00:52:55:<i>to a few Saturday night</i>|<i>brews with the boys...</i>
00:52:57:<i>and Sunday off with the kids.</i>
00:52:59:No, no, no.|I got this, fellas.
00:53:06:<i>The Mini was lowered</i>|<i>into the Atrium by helicopter.</i>
00:53:11:...while the police devise an offensive|so as not to be humiliated.
00:53:15:From where it sits,|there's no driving it out of there.
00:53:18:There's no access and no doorway|that's wide enough to drive through.
00:53:24:<i>At exactly 7:45 a.m., the southwest|doors will open for employees only.</i>
00:53:29:<i>That leaves me with approximately</i>|<i>one hour to rebuild the car.</i>
00:53:32:No. I got nothing.
00:53:34:<i>Under no circumstances do we reveal</i>|<i>ourselves as officers of the law.</i>
00:53:42:Barkley Michaelson's life depends|upon our precision and restraint.
00:54:34:<i>What's he doing?</i>
00:54:37:The fuck if I know.
00:54:39:<i>Hey! No! Go get her.</i>
00:54:50:- I'm delivering it.|- Wai-
00:54:52:Wait a minute, Sarah.
00:54:56:Do you really feel comfortable|carrying it across a mall...
00:54:59:and leaving it in|the trunk of a car
00:55:00:that thousands of people are|tossing raffle tickets into?
00:55:03:It's everything we have, Sarah.
00:55:05:It is not everything we have.|We have our son...
00:55:09:who we love more than|any amount of money in the world.
00:55:13:- There are no alternatives, Eli.|- Sarah-
00:55:15:Damn it.
00:55:18:I'll tell you.
00:55:20:It's lonely at the top.
00:55:22:Sir?
00:55:25:You're lucky you're not a genius.
00:55:28:If we get your son back alive,|Dr. Michaelson, we're all geniuses.
00:55:31:<i>At exactly 9:00 a. m...</i>
00:55:34:<i>you will join the other 200</i>|<i>screaming families as they enter...</i>
00:55:38:<i>and try to be the first 100</i>|<i>to receive their free MP3s.</i>
00:56:53:<i>Once the drop is made,</i>|<i>let the fun begin.</i>

01:01:58:It's all there.
01:02:00:One million dollars apiece.
01:02:05:Holy shit, that's a lot|of fuckin' money!
01:02:08:This is definitely one of the high points|of my entire life. Really.
01:02:11:I mean, this- this ranks higher|than my first blow job by Eileen Salzer.
01:02:15:She was the redheaded tuba player|in the 10th grade band.
01:02:17:<i>Higher than my first car.</i>
01:02:20:Higher than my second blow job. But that|doesn't really count, 'cause my mom walked in-
01:02:23:Does it rank higher than your wedding|to the blue-eyed Russian studies major...
01:02:27:Meredith Ma-a-a-s?
01:02:29:- How the fuck did you know about Meredith?|- I just know.
01:02:33:- What the fuck do you know?|- I know...
01:02:35:that you couldn't get it up,|so basically she went shopping elsewhere.
01:02:39:That covers it, right?
01:02:43:Huh?
01:02:45:Huh?
01:02:49:- Brothers shouldn't have secrets, Barkley.|- Fuck you!
01:02:52:God!
01:02:54:"Fuck you. Fuck you."
01:02:56:I'm taking my money,|and I'm going home.
01:02:58:Oh, you go home.
01:03:01:I'll kill you first.
01:03:08:Oh, you'd kill me?
01:03:11:But you wouldn't eat me.
01:03:13:Would ya?
01:03:32:- Where'd you get the car?|- Same place I got the last one.
01:03:36:Church. Sunday Mass,|everyone's busy praying.
01:03:39:- You stole it?|- You make it sound like it's a crime.
01:03:42:Come on.
01:03:59:Howdy.
01:04:09:So-
01:04:12:- Swallow it.|- What?
01:04:14:When they pick you up,|they're gonna search every inch of you.
01:04:17:Just swallow it|and wait for it to poop itself out.
01:04:21:Fuck you.
01:04:24:Either you swallow it|and go on stool patrol...
01:04:26:or I'm gonna shove it|up your ass for you.
01:04:28:Your choice.
01:04:46:You spend a dime of that money...
01:04:48:they'll track you down faster|than you can digest milk.
01:04:51:I don't think we should talk to each other|again for at least two years- if ever.
01:04:57:Can't say I'll miss you.
01:04:59:It's been interesting|having a brother.
01:05:01:I never needed a brother.|I needed a father.
01:05:04:Trust me.|You're better off without Eli.
01:05:07:My mother hated me|because I reminded her of him.
01:05:11:Okay. Well-
01:05:14:Yeah.
01:05:17:What the-
01:05:40:You don't want 'em to think|you faked the kidnapping, do ya?
01:05:48:Whoa.
01:05:54:I'm Kelly Lange, and I'm standing in front|of the home of Dr. Eli Michaelson...
01:05:58:who was just awarded|the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
01:06:01:Now, it has been a week of highs|and lows for the Nobel laureate...
01:06:05:who had to cut short his celebrations|with the king and queen of Sweden...
01:06:09:to come back here and face the|iniquitous kidnapping of his only son.
01:06:12:First you lose my money,|which is supposed to lead us to Barkley...
01:06:15:then there's no word from Barkley,|who might very well be dead...
01:06:18:<i>and now I can't even leave the house</i>|<i>because there's a media zoo outside.</i>
01:06:21:Who informed them?
01:06:23:Hello?
01:06:26:This is Kelly Lange from KLPK.
01:06:29:Ms. Lange,|are you standing in front of my house?
01:06:32:I am indeed.
01:06:36:<i>Sarah, put the gun down.</i>
01:06:38:<i>I think I have Mrs. Michaelson</i>|<i>on the line now.</i>
01:06:40:She's the mother of the boy who was|kidnapped, and we're told that she was very-
01:06:43:- Ms. Lange.|- Yes?
01:06:45:I have a handgun|pointed at your head.
01:06:48:If you don't get the fuck...
01:06:50:off my lawn right now,|I'm gonna use it.
01:06:53:Look! She's got a gun!
01:07:00:If we had call waiting,|it would be another story.
01:07:07:Hello?
01:07:37:Your mother and I would very much|like you to go to the hospital.
01:07:41:- We'd just like to make sure nothing's broken.|- No. I want to go home.
01:07:45:<i>Okay. Okay.|We're going home.</i>
01:07:48:<i>Oh, God. I'm so happy</i>|<i>to have you back.</i>
01:07:53:I'm happy to see you too, Mom.
01:07:58:Why does he have both thumbs?
01:08:00:Eli, would you have felt better about|the two million dollars if he lost one?
01:08:05:Lose the edge, Sarah,|and explain to me...
01:08:07:whose thumb was sent to us in Stockholm|if Barkley has both of his.
01:08:11:They threatened to cut off my thumb.
01:08:14:How many of them were there?
01:08:16:Two.
01:08:18:Can you describe 'em?
01:08:21:<i>They had this thing over my head.</i>
01:08:25:Burlap sack.|It was dark.
01:08:29:<i>I was thirsty, and they gave me water.</i>|<i>I couldn't even swallow it.</i>
01:08:33:So, tell me, Barkley.|What was City Hall's role in all this?
01:08:38:City?
01:08:40:She didn't have anything to do with it.|She probably hates me right now.
01:08:44:Can we just do this tomorrow, Max?
01:08:46:We're never gonna catch these guys anyway.|I'm sure they're long gone by now.
01:08:50:Gone where?
01:08:52:How would I know? It's not like they discussed|their travel plans with me. Look at me.
01:08:56:- Oh.|- See?
01:08:59:- Oh, I hadn't-|- <i>Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow.</i>
01:09:01:So, tell me.
01:09:03:Do you even know City's real name?
01:09:07:Yeah. Sharon Hall.
01:09:09:Please, don't involve her, Max.
01:09:12:She's really sensitive.
01:09:14:And she's furious with me.|I promised I'd call her, and I didn't...
01:09:17:'cause I fucking got kidnapped.
01:09:19:- Please, will you promise me?|- You were kidnapped outside City's house, right?
01:09:24:No. Here.
01:09:26:Here?
01:09:29:Bill, we gotta bring in|the forensics crew right now.
01:09:32:- Here? Why?|- We messed up.
01:09:34:Uh, Barkley was abducted|from this house...
01:09:37:probably right after|you took off for-
01:09:39:The kidnapper was in this house?
01:09:42:Don't tell me that key's back|under the flowerpot.
01:09:45:<i>This is Sergeant Canepa.</i>|<i>Get me Forensics.</i>
01:09:48:- <i> 9.99.</i>|- <i> Viagra changed my life.</i>
01:09:51:<i>I work neighborhood patrol for|Westec in the San-San Gabriel Valley.</i>
01:09:56:<i>And I needed some cash-</i>|<i></i>

01:10:02:Tell-Tell our audience.
01:10:05:Tell our audience|what happened next.
01:10:07:<i>I was at the A. T.M.</i>|<i>on Colorado and Lake...</i>
01:10:09:when I was attacked by a man in a|paper bag mask with a butcher knife...
01:10:15:<i>who took all my money. </i>
01:10:18:And my thumb.
01:10:20:<i>What kind of- Paper bag mask?</i>
01:10:25:<i>A grocery bag with these...</i>
01:10:28:stars for eyes and, uh...
01:10:31:like, big carpet eyebrows...
01:10:34:and this big, bulbous red nose.
01:10:43:<i>Barkley.</i>
01:10:45:<i>The kind you'd make|in summer camp.</i>
01:10:47:Barkley? Honey,|is everything all right?
01:10:50:Yeah, yeah, yeah.|I'm fine.
01:10:55:<i> How is Barkley?</i>
01:10:58:Honestly, he looks like shit.
01:11:01:Oh.
01:11:03:Well, if there's anything Pam|and I can do, don't hesitate.
01:11:06:My son Ethan, who's at Oxford now|t-teaching linguistics...
01:11:09:read about it in the <i>London Times.</i>
01:11:11:He's- He's terribly upset|for Barkley.
01:11:13:Re- Remember how they used to play|together when they were little boys?
01:11:17:And remember when they
01:11:18:were hauled in for riding their|bikes in the Thompson K-K-Koi Pond?
01:11:23:Slow Ethan's teaching|linguistics at Oxford?
01:11:27:Dr. Michaelson, I'm so sorry.
01:11:30:Thank you.
01:11:37:- Look at that.|- Oh! Come on, come on, come on.
01:11:40:Sharks and vermin.
01:11:45:- These are nice.|- I was so cruel.
01:11:47:I left those savage|messages on his machine.
01:11:51:I was so hurt when he didn't call.
01:11:55:He promised to call.
01:11:58:And then when he didn't call,|I wanted to hurt him because...
01:12:01:I was so hurt.
01:12:04:He would have called.
01:12:07:Don't you think, Detective?
01:12:09:Uh, yeah.
01:12:12:Yeah, probably.
01:12:13:- He liked me, didn't he?|- Oh, yeah.
01:12:18:He liked my mind.
01:12:21:- My art.|- Mmm.
01:12:25:Oh, my God.|He liked my breasts.
01:12:32:Uh, did you and Barkley plan to have|a date on the night of December 8?
01:12:38:No. His bike was stolen from the Equator|and he needed a ride home.
01:12:42:Stolen, huh?
01:12:45:- And did you take him home?|- No.
01:12:50:It was like we kissed...
01:12:55:and suddenly we were consumed...
01:12:58:by this raging...
01:13:01:fire of passion...
01:13:03:that just obliterated...
01:13:06:<i>the entire world around us and...</i>
01:13:08:<i>the hunger and...</i>
01:13:11:thirst and desire|that we felt for each other.
01:13:14:Right. Right.|And then afterwards-
01:13:17:It was in the morning then|that you brought him home.
01:13:22:That's the weird thing.
01:13:24:- What?|- He took a cab.
01:13:29:Why is that weird?
01:13:33:If he had no money at all|the night before...
01:13:39:where'd he get the money|for the cab?
01:13:41:Hmm.
01:13:45:I'm really sorry to|bother you, Miss Hall.
01:13:47:Thank you very much|for taking the time.
01:14:00:<i>City Hall original.</i>
01:14:02:Do you think she had something to do|with the kidnapping?
01:14:05:It's pretty psychotic.
01:14:07:But I'll tell ya.|It's not nearly as fucked-up...
01:14:09:as the shit I saw at the poetry|reading at Equator Books.
01:14:12:"Rats live on no evil star."
01:14:15:That's Anne Sexton's epitaph.
01:14:18:It's a palindrome.
01:14:23:It is indeed.
01:14:35:Oh!
01:14:36:I'll have the chicken salad.
01:14:38:It's on the house today,|Dr. Michaelson.
01:14:41:After all you've been through,|it's the least we could do.
01:14:43:Then I'll have the T-bone, rare.|Thank you.
01:14:48:- He's coming to sit with us.|- Slide that chair away.
01:14:50:Give him a break, will ya?|Guy's been to hell and back.
01:14:53:Eli. Let me buy you lunch.
01:14:55:Ruby got it already.|How about I take you up on it tomorrow?
01:15:03:Oh. I saw all the reporters out|in the courtyard just now.
01:15:07:Any more of that publicity|and you will be ensured a place...
01:15:10:<i>on the lucrative lecture circuit.</i>
01:15:12:You'd think the Nobel Prize alone would|ensure you that kind of notoriety. I-
01:15:22:The snails are eating my basil.
01:15:25:Look at- Scarred leaves.
01:15:27:A week ago, these leaves...
01:15:30:were plump, moist, unblemished.
01:15:34:So, you never heard anything.
01:15:36:I was listening for the bicycle.
01:15:39:But you never heard|a struggle or anything like that.
01:15:41:I wasn't listening for a struggle.|If I was listening for a struggle...
01:15:44:then I would have heard|the struggle.
01:15:46:- Maybe I didn't hear it.|- Right.
01:15:49:I have to kill 'em.
01:15:50:Who?
01:15:53:The snails.|They have to die.
01:15:59:Uh-
01:16:01:<i>Just a minute.</i>
01:16:03:Hey.
01:16:05:You told City Hall|your bike was stolen.
01:16:08:It was stolen.
01:16:10:Your bike's in the garage.
01:16:12:I brought it home|from Equator Books myself.
01:16:16:No, I'm telling you it was stolen.
01:16:18:Well, I'm telling you...
01:16:21:you wouldn't be the first guy that told|a white lie to get a girl into the sack.
01:16:26:Max, I asked you to leave her alone.
01:16:29:Hey. She's crazy about you.
01:16:32:She cried, carried on|when she heard what happened.
01:16:34:So I wouldn't worry about it.
01:16:37:Unless there's somethin'|to be worried about.
01:17:02:<i>Yeah, I remember.</i>
01:17:04:Kid's only got a 20.
01:17:06:I don't got no singles.|I gotta count out 14 bucks of coins.
01:17:10:<i>He's anxious, jumpy and shit.</i>
01:17:13:I keep losing count.
01:17:19:George Gastner?
01:17:21:If he didn't have|the bicycle with him...
01:17:23:I was listening for the wrong thing.

01:18:17:No. We'll go somewhere.
01:18:20:I'm with someone else now.
01:18:22:What?

01:19:34:Uh, I wasn't gonna|rent it out so soon after...
01:19:38:but we really do need|the money right now.
01:19:44:He seems like a nice young man.
01:19:46:- Hmm.|- Solid, works in used cars.
01:19:49:Cool.
01:19:53:And maybe you should offer|to help him unload.
01:20:11:He seems to have it|all under control.
01:20:13:Well, Barkley,|that's not very welcoming.
01:20:16:It's just, uh, my back's|been spasming all day.
01:20:20:It still hurts from when I was kidnapped,|so I really don't think I can help him.
01:20:25:You know, I- I did tell him about George's|suicide, but it didn't seem to bother him.
01:20:29:Hmm. Yeah. Some people|are just practical.
01:20:33:He has a lovely girlfriend|that lives in town. Oh. She's there.
01:20:48:Barkley! Oh, my God!
01:20:50:Um, I'm okay.
01:20:53:Cute couple.
01:21:01:- <i> You think so?</i>|- <i> Yeah.</i>

01:22:18:Yes.
01:22:24:Generally.
01:22:25:Well...
01:22:27:obviously it depends|on the structure...
01:22:29:and the number of atoms|in the molecule.
01:22:34:<i>On the small end of the range, it's of the</i>|<i>same order as the bond lengths, Barkley.</i>
01:22:38:Oh.
01:22:40:Typically...
01:22:42:one to two angstroms.
01:22:44:Good boy.
01:22:47:Why don't you come visit me|at the lab sometime?
01:22:50:I think you'll find it enlightening.

01:24:39:Hurry up, Barkley.|I'm hungry.
01:24:44:Hurry up, Barkley.|I'm hungry.
01:25:24:Yeah.
01:25:26:Hello. Good morning, Doctor.
01:25:32:- Yeah.|- Wow.
01:25:35:- Look at this.|- No. Actually, why don't you sit there?
01:25:37:Doctor.
01:25:40:Wow.
01:25:42:- This is a treat. Thank you, Thaddeus.|- It's my pleasure, Doctor.
01:25:46:Call me Eli.
01:25:50:Mmm.
01:25:52:<i>Wow.|I'd love the recipe.</i>
01:25:56:- Unless it's a family secret.|- I like to think of us as family.
01:26:05:Does that include me?
01:26:13:Going somewhere?
01:26:17:It seems...
01:26:19:that you visited a cash machine|on the night in question.
01:26:23:<i>Look...</i>
01:26:24:I had one 20,|and I took it from City's wallet.
01:26:27:Because you found out|you only had $2.57 in your account.
01:26:33:I checked the bank records.
01:26:35:You're saying that|you stole 20 from City?
01:26:38:- I didn't steal it. I left an I.O.U.|- She never said...
01:26:41:anything to me about an I.O.U.
01:26:45:You know her cat?
01:26:49:She's got this cat.|It's a- It's a thief.
01:26:51:- That's funny.|- What's funny?
01:26:54:A certain Wil Cavalere was assaulted|at an A.T.M. on the same night.
01:26:58:<i>His attacker arrived</i>|<i>wearing a paper bag mask...</i>
01:27:03:and departed with|Wil Cavalere's thumb.
01:27:06:So?
01:27:07:Bits of a paper bag and|pieces of a bulbous nose...
01:27:10:were found in the middle|of the living room fireplace...
01:27:15:bearing traces|of Mr. Cavalere's blood.
01:27:18:There was a fire going on in the|fireplace when I got home that morning.
01:27:21:- I told you this before, Max.|- Oh, God!
01:27:24:I mean- Look at me.
01:27:26:<i>You don't- You- You don't think|that I'm actually capable- Wha-</i>
01:27:30:It sounds like a tall tale to me.
01:27:34:<i>Look...</i>
01:27:36:your red Doc Martens...
01:27:39:turned up with traces|of Wil Cavalere's blood.
01:27:43:- I lost those shoes.|- When?
01:27:45:That night.|That night at her apartment.
01:27:47:- That's funny.|- What's funny?
01:27:50:We found those shoes|in your closet...
01:27:53:in a shoe box...
01:27:55:buried in the back.
01:27:58:How can that be?
01:28:10:Barkley, honey, we need to talk.
01:28:17:Okay.
01:28:20:<i>There is no love|like a mother's love.</i>
01:28:24:<i>Mom convinced Max to give me|a chance to prove myself...</i>
01:28:28:<i>maybe to even help us.</i>
01:28:30:<i>Now I just had to figure out</i>|<i>a way to get Thaddeus to crack.</i>
01:28:34:I could have loved her.
01:28:37:What are you doing here? Huh?
01:28:39:She unlocked something|deep inside of me.
01:28:41:You knew that...
01:28:43:and you took her away from me.
01:28:53:Uh-
01:29:06:Sarah.
01:29:09:Um-
01:29:12:Will you tell Barkley...
01:29:15:to stay out of my apartment?
01:29:18:He- He went into your apartment?
01:29:20:Yeah.
01:29:22:You told me a guy|killed himself in there.
01:29:24:- You didn't tell me your son was unstable.|- Wh-What did he do?
01:29:28:He threatened me.
01:29:34:You know what?|I'm sorry. It won't happen again.
01:29:37:I'll talk to him. Okay?|I promise.
01:29:40:Sorry.|Can you hand me the measuring cup?
01:29:43:Sorry.
01:29:51:I really like living here.|He's spoiling it.
01:30:01:<i>Hey.|I need some prints run on this.</i>
01:30:04:No "hello"? No "how are you?"
01:30:08:I'm not big on foreplay,|but you treat me this way, I feel dirty.
01:30:12:I need it A.S.A.P.
01:30:14:There you are.|Sweet-talk me, and I'm a pushover.
01:30:28:Three years ago, Sharon...
01:30:30:<i>a.k.a. City Hall...</i>
01:30:34:escaped from|the Gilissen Hospital...
01:30:38:for the Criminally Insane.
01:30:40:<i>She was committed for</i>|<i>burning her father alive.</i>
01:30:43:<i>That's where she met</i>|<i>fellow patient...</i>
01:30:45:Thaddeus James.
01:30:49:And it seems your father and I...
01:30:53:<i>knew the James family</i>|<i>once upon a time.</i>
01:31:06:It's F.B.I. business.|You know I can't talk about it.
01:31:09:<i>When will you be back?</i>
01:31:11:Couple of days.
01:31:13:We have cocktails|at the Pedersens' Friday night.
01:31:17:If I'm not back,|take your little friend Beth.
01:31:20:For God sakes.
01:31:23:I'm just helping her out.|She's having a hard time keeping up.
01:31:33:Thaddeus James.|Detective Mariner.
01:31:38:Well, is there a-anything|I can do for you, Detective?
01:31:40:Barkley Michaelson threatened you.
01:31:45:His mother, Sarah Michaelson,|told us about it.
01:31:48:Look, you know, the kid-
01:31:50:he seems harmless, but...
01:31:53:I'm here to tell you he's not.
01:31:57:History can't be denied.
01:31:58:I- I know that you're seeing...
01:32:02:that Sharon Hall that|Michaelson is obsessed by.
01:32:06:If you care for her...
01:32:09:I would take her very far from here.
01:33:52:<i></i>|<i>Hello, Brother.</i>
01:33:54:<i>By now, you should have found</i>|<i>a sampling of City's love juice.</i>
01:33:59:<i>She did put up a fight, but...</i>
01:34:02:<i>she's since been,|let's just say...</i>
01:34:04:<i>subdued.</i>
01:34:08:<i>Look, I've kidnapped|dear old dad...</i>
01:34:12:<i>and I want a million</i>|<i>for his release.</i>
01:34:14:<i>You can think about it.</i>|<i>I am patient.</i>
01:34:17:<i>Oh, yeah. I can subsist</i>|<i>for weeks dining on City Hall.</i>
01:34:21:<i>But if I do not receive the money by the|time City's flesh has been consumed...</i>
01:34:26:<i>well, at that point</i>|<i>I'm gonna have to embark...</i>
01:34:29:<i>on the less savory task</i>|<i>of consuming our father.</i>
01:34:34:<i>I'm gonna need some</i>|<i>pretty heavy marinade for that.</i>
01:34:53:Have you lost your mind, Barkley?
01:34:56:You needed to know|what it feels like to be kidnapped.
01:35:11:So...
01:35:14:Harriman James.
01:35:17:You fucked his wife,|stole his theories, drove him to suicide.
01:35:21:Oh, bullshit.
01:35:25:Glynnis James was cute and she screwed|a lot of men, but I was not one of them.
01:35:30:So how do you explain|all the checks?
01:35:33:What checks?
01:35:36:All the checks that you sent her|throughout the years. Hmm?
01:35:47:Harriman James was my friend.
01:35:51:He left his pregnant wife...
01:35:54:<i>penniless.</i>
01:35:56:<i>When I could, I helped her out.</i>
01:36:00:That's really touching.|It is.
01:36:02:I just don't understand why|you would be nice to her...
01:36:05:when you've never been nice|to anyone in your entire fuckin' life!
01:36:07:Because I do not believe|in helping those...
01:36:10:who can help themselves,|like you, for instance.
01:36:13:Oh, I have a mountain of anger...
01:36:16:and, uh, I'd say a fair amount|of despair that informs...
01:36:21:pretty much everything that I do.
01:36:23:<i>Do you know where that stems from?</i>
01:36:26:Being born the son|of an asshole like you.
01:36:30:- What are you talking about?|- Harriman James...
01:36:32:had nothing to do with|your Nobel Prize-winning
01:36:35:work in single-molecule|spectroscopy?
01:36:36:He piddled around in it.|I made it work.
01:36:39:Do you really think...
01:36:41:that holding me for ransom|is gonna accomplish anything?
01:36:44:And besides, who do you think is gonna pay?|Your mother is broke, Barkley.
01:36:48:Thaddeus is going to pay.
01:36:50:- Thaddeus?|- Thaddeus James.
01:36:53:Your son.
01:36:57:Even if he was my son,|which he is not...
01:37:00:how is he gonna pay?
01:37:02:He's a used car dealer, huh? Where's|he gonna come up with that kind of money?
01:37:06:Uh, Thaddeus was my kidnapper.
01:37:09:<i>If any of this is true...</i>
01:37:13:why are you telling me this now?
01:37:20:Because up until now,|Thaddeus held all the cards.
01:37:22:Until I realized|that he wasn't lying...
01:37:25:about you and Harriman.
01:37:28:<i>Look at this.</i>|<i>Recognize this?</i>
01:37:31:Oh, yeah. I scanned it.
01:37:33:And I can have it all over|the Internet in seconds.
01:37:40:Your little talk didn't work.
01:37:49:Well, Barkley is my son,|and I love him...
01:37:53:but I think we should|call the police.
01:37:56:No police.
01:37:58:He's gotta be-
01:38:01:He's gotta be bluffing.
01:38:07:<i>Uh, delivery for Thaddeus James.</i>
01:38:11:Hey. Just sign here.
01:38:16:Good night.
01:38:26:I didn't order anything.
01:38:44:"Preheat oven to 350.
01:38:46:Cook for 20 minutes|or until golden brown."
01:38:49:What?
01:39:02:What is it?
01:39:05:Oh, God.
01:39:07:<i>The sick fucker.</i>
01:39:11:<i>I think it's City.</i>
01:39:14:Not again.
01:39:17:<i>He threatened</i>|<i>to do this to Meredith...</i>
01:39:19:but I never thought|he would actually-
01:39:22:<i>I just found my dad.</i>
01:39:24:I'm not gonna let|that crazy bastard eat him.
01:39:32:- Hello?|- Hello, Brother.
01:39:36:<i>Want the recipe?</i>|<i>It's an old family secret.</i>
01:39:39:<i>Put the money...</i>
01:39:41:<i>in Aunt Lillie's|old beige carry-on.</i>
01:39:43:<i>Mom will find it for you.</i>
01:39:45:<i>Go to the bus station in</i>|<i>Stovepipe Wells, Death Valley.</i>
01:39:48:<i>It'll take you</i>|<i>six hours by car.</i>
01:39:50:<i>Put the money in|locker number 126.</i>
01:39:55:<i>Close it. Lock it.</i>
01:39:56:<i>Get in your stolen|car and go home.</i>
01:40:10:<i>At 7:00 sharp,|answer your phone...</i>
01:40:13:- <i>or else dear old dad is cooked.</i>|- Fuck!
01:40:27:<i>"Among the anthropophagi...</i>
01:40:30:<i>people's friends are|people's sarcophagi. "
01:41:44:<i>Now what?</i>
01:41:46:Photographs,|courtesy of Thaddeus James.
01:41:51:Far too many shots|of your philandering penis for my taste.
01:41:54:Mom deserves better.
01:42:02:Ain't that the truth.
01:42:04:But I'll always love you, Eli,|'cause you gave me Barkley.
01:42:07:Please believe me.
01:42:09:You are the only woman I ever loved.
01:42:13:We're getting divorced, Eli,|and I'm taking you to the cleaners.
01:42:17:Well...
01:42:19:good luck.
01:42:21:I don't need luck.
01:42:24:<i>A D.N.A. test will link you</i>|<i>to Thaddeus's paternity.</i>
01:42:27:And Harriman's papers will bring the|merits of your Nobel Prize into question.
01:42:33:Imagine the humiliation.
01:42:39:I bet it was your idea,|this whole kidnapping thing, wasn't it?
01:42:45:No. Actually, it was all Barkley.
01:42:49:<i>Clever kid,</i>|<i>that son of ours.</i>
01:42:52:Guess I really do|take after you, Dad.
01:43:11:I can't believe I'm getting money-laundering|instructions from my mother.
01:43:14:We're splitting that money 50-50.
01:43:25:Max?
01:43:29:It's your one mil.
01:43:32:Figured if I returned it|to you legitimately...
01:43:35:Eli would be getting|50% in the divorce, so-
01:43:38:And this way...
01:43:41:you could share it with me.
01:43:45:We could live pretty well|on this in Montana.
01:43:51:I'm not leaving my job.
01:43:54:That'd be fine.
01:44:05:Hi, Barkley.
01:44:10:Max.
01:44:12:Surveillance tape from the mall.
01:44:18:Nice disguise.
01:44:21:<i>But I gotta ask you.</i>
01:44:25:The breast...
01:44:28:with the string beans on the side.
01:44:31:Marzipan.
01:44:34:<i>A marzipan breast.</i>
01:44:36:<i>A gallon of blood.</i>|<i>You can buy anything in L.A.</i>
01:44:39:<i>As for City,</i>|<i>Mom arranged for her to go back...</i>
01:44:41:<i>to the Gilissen Hospital</i>|<i>for the Criminally Insane...</i>
01:44:44:<i>where I am sure that her artwork</i>|<i>will never fully be appreciated.</i>
01:44:48:We make our choices, don't we, City?
01:44:55:Sometimes they're made for us, baby.
01:45:02:<i>I finished my thesis.</i>
01:45:05:<i>I even got it published.</i>
01:45:08:<i>To quote the jacket cover:</i>
01:45:11:<i>"It isn't evil to eat the dead.</i>
01:45:15:<i>"It's recycling.</i>
01:45:19:<i>True evil is to eat a man alive. "
01:45:53:<i>Dr. Michaelson?</i>
01:45:55:Mm-hmm.
01:45:57:I'm- I'm having trouble|understanding...
01:46:00:how to derive|the transition kinetics...
01:46:03:from the autocorrelation function|using the photon counting measurements.
01:46:09:Ah.
01:46:12:Kinetics. Yes.
01:46:19:Just like a measly molecule,|man can so swiftly go...
01:46:24:from a glorious state|of high energy...
01:46:28:to an ignominious one of isolation.
01:46:38:But then again...
01:46:41:<i>a molecule that interacts</i>|<i>with other molecules...</i>
01:46:48:has a much greater potential...
