Felicity s01e05 Episode Script
Spooked
Previously on "Felicity" I had a good time with Ben.
I really did.
If you wanna date Ben then Then I should.
Zack: Damn it! Some jerk put, like, food coloring in the washing machine.
People are referring to me as "the pink guy" now.
Ooh, no.
Let's just feel awkward with the other people that we're gonna date and break up with.
Are you at all doing this because of Felicity or? Do you have a thing for the pink guy? Dear Sally I don't blame New York.
I love New York.
But something happened the other day that was very New York.
So, you haven't taken the 203? - No.
- That's great because you can go from Battery Park to 72nd in, like, 5 minutes.
- Really? - Yeah.
That takes you up way west, so I mean, first of all, the only times Ben and I ever really hung out was when I was helping him with assignments, and even then, we never really had, you know, conversations.
So, uh, are you gonna keep your job in the Admissions office? - Yeah? - Yeah.
I have to get another one, actually, to help pay for everything.
I have an interview tomorrow at Dean & Deluca.
Oh, yeah? That could be good.
- Yeah.
Have you been there? - No.
I mean, and it wasn't like I didn't want to help Ben, but things weren't getting to the next level You know, deepening.
It's amazing.
- Don't turn around! - Oh! Get down on the ground! Now! Don't look at me! Don't look at me.
Look straight ahead.
Get the stuff.
- No.
- Don't! - Ugh! - Ben! Ben.
I need you to come to the, uh, precinct.
You know, it's not far.
You look through some pictures, see if you recognize anyone.
Uh, tomorrow morning be all right for you? Sure.
How about you, kid? Can you make it? Yeah.
Your stomach all right? You want to be checked? - No, it's fine.
- Huh? I'm fine.
It's just a bruise.
Can I give you a ride, uh back to the dorm? Um, no, that's a good idea.
You should go ahead.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, you should go.
Um well, I'll call you later, and we can go over that assignment.
Okay.
Meghan: I heard there were shots fired.
- Are you serious? - Noel: You heard what? You heard there were shots? - Seriously, do you know this for a fact or not? Some guy in the mailroom said, "Congratulations.
" I said, "Why?" He said, " Because you now have the largest single on campus.
" Some people are so damn sick.
All right, I'm going over there.
Someone should stay here in case she comes back.
Hello.
Hi, Mr.
Porter.
Uh, no, it's it's Julie.
Is Felicity here? Um no.
But Look, here's here's Noel.
Mr.
Porter, hi, this is Noel.
That's right.
Thank you, yeah.
No, things are fine.
Well, they'd be a lot better if I didn't have to read "Ulysses.
" - What are you doing? - What? You're checking out her side of the room, aren't you? - I am not! - Um Uh, no, Felicity isn't isn't here right now.
Um, we're we're just hanging out, uh, waiting for your daughter.
Are you okay? Um you heard already.
Yeah, what happened? Was someone shot? Um no one was shot.
We're okay.
We were lucky.
- Don't you look disappointed.
- Shut up.
Oh, that's gonna be your dad.
Stay off my side.
Hello? Hi, Dad.
Um I'm fine.
There's just a lot of people in my room right now.
Can you hang on just for a minute? I'm fine.
I swear.
Hi.
I don't believe it.
I don't You know what they took? My idea book.
Your what? You know I'm always writing in that black notebook.
I haven't noticed.
Ben, is this yours? Yeah, just leave it.
I'll get it later.
Every great business idea I've had over the last 4 years Went into that book Proposals and logos and sketches.
I mean, wh It was like my safety deposit box.
It was my future.
You can still write them down.
I can't remember every genius entrepreneurial idea I've ever had.
The UFO story 900-number, the miniquick car wash I mean, there were hundreds.
There was no way of of stopping these guys? I mean, did did you even, you know, think about, uh, trying? Oh, damn it.
I'm sorry.
Felicity: It was surreal, you know? And then I I looked up, and and I saw his face.
And it was like, "There is a real person pointing a real gun at me.
" Yeah, l-I would have lost it.
I would have started screaming.
I'd have wet my pants and started screaming.
A homeless guy pushed me over once.
Ruined my birthday cake.
- What? - What? - What? Yeah, it's the closest I've ever come to getting robbed.
I was 12.
It was weird.
For a woman, having a gun pointed at you is a whole different thing.
- Has that happened to you? - Yeah.
A couple years ago I was mugged which really pissed me off.
Pink guy, 12:00.
Hey.
Hey, I heard about what happened.
You okay? Yeah, yeah.
It was just, um, a little scary.
Yeah, I got held up at knife point once, so Could I, um - talk to you? - Sure.
I'll be right back.
So, what did the cops say? Uh, Ben and I have to go down to the police station, go through some mug shots.
Oh, really? That's good.
Yeah.
Have you ever seen "The Exorcist"? No.
How come? They're showing it at The Film Society, like, a Halloween special.
And I haven't seen it in a long time.
No, uh, me neither.
So you don't want to? - What? - Go.
Are you inviting me? - Didn't I? - Not yet.
I'm sorry.
It's tomorrow night.
I think we should Do you wanna go? Sure.
Really? Hello? Hey, it's Ben.
What are you doing? What? Are you asleep? No.
Okay, I guess I'm, um, I'm downstairs.
Hey.
So, it's after 2:00.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I just, uh I thought you might be a little bit shaken up.
I just I wanted to come by and see that you were okay, make sure you're okay.
I remembered reading somewhere that that soldiers who had been through battle that they have some kind of special bond because you know, they survived it.
I never really knew what that meant before last night.
Sorry.
You drink a lot of coffee? No, I just I had a really amazing night last night.
Really? Wh what happened? - I was almost killed.
- No.
- Yeah.
In a robbery, yeah.
But then I stayed up all night with this guy who I've sort of really liked for a long time, so Aw, that's an amazing feeling, isn't it? Oh, my God.
I know.
I know.
What is, um "Perfectly Me"? Oh, uh, my junior year, I worked there.
It's a clothing store for women sizes 16 and up.
It was really nice.
They had some great stuff.
They didn't hate you? Who? The fat women.
Uh they weren't fat.
Size 16 and up are I really liked working there.
Can you be here tomorrow at noon? Does that mean I got the job? If you want it.
Cool! What's this? It was on my door.
Yeah, that I, uh This is a men's room.
Alice says you put it there.
Yeah, it's lame, I know, but the university asked all the R.
A.
S - to decorate for Halloween, so - So I get a witch? Is that a problem? I could get a skeleton, a pumpkin, a ghost, but I get a witch! It's cool.
I'm with him.
- Would you feel more comfortable with a pumpkin? - I hate Halloween.
I don't think anyone really likes Halloween.
- No, I like Halloween.
- I don't believe you.
What motive do I have to lie about that? What are what are you doing for Halloween? I have work to do.
We all have work to do.
Yeah, but I actually do mine.
Well, I'm going to that party.
- Do you wanna go? - Yeah.
The detective said we should take our time.
Yes.
It's just none of these guys look familiar to me.
Well, you can't tell that if you're not really looking.
You got anything so far? No.
I found one, um He looks like this guy, sort of, except, um maybe 10 years younger and maybe, uh, - No, but besides that.
- It gives him an idea.
Uh how about you? You find anything? No, I got nothing.
Actually, you know, I gotta get going.
Are you serious? Yeah, I'm supposed to meet Paul, so - Well, you can come back tomorrow.
- Yeah, tomorrow is much better for me, much better.
Um but I'm gonna see you later, though, all right? Sure.
You know, this process is, uh It's difficult for some people, you know? Apparently.
Screening of "The Petrified Forest.
" - Thank you so much.
- For what? For not getting mad at me when I spilled Coke all over you.
Hey, that stuff's scary.
And for letting me hold your hand.
No, that was that was fine.
When she started talking like the priest's mother, it was like, oh, my God.
Forget it.
Yeah, the guy who did the makeup Dick Smith he's, like, a mentor now to all these famous makeup guys.
- You ever heard of Rick Baker? - No.
Mnh-mnh.
Oh, here.
Thanks.
It probably got cold.
It did.
It really did.
Oh, sorry.
Are you are you hungry? - I'm starved.
- Good.
- Let's let's find a place.
- Okay.
"I was a child, "and she was a child in this kingdom by the sea.
But we loved with a love that was more than a love" "We loved with a love that was more than a love" Hello? Ben: Hey.
Hey.
What's going on? uh, I'm downstairs again.
Hey.
- Are you going out? - Yeah.
It's kind of late.
Uh, I can't sleep, so Are are you going alone? Noel Okay, just be careful.
I will.
The last time I did this, I went trick-or-treating as Yertle the Turtle.
What was that, like, a couple years ago? I was 10.
My mom made this shell out of cardboard and green felt.
It was actually a pretty cool costume.
Yeah, it sounds nice.
These should be good for the party.
So, Sean throws this every Halloween? Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Had to go buy a new stereo, though, you know, 'cause they took the old one.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
But you gotta come.
Are you dressing up? Yeah.
Frankenstein I'm thinking about it, or is that, uh, is that too stupid? No, I think that's good.
I could, um you know What? You know the Bride of Frankenstein? - I could - With that streak-in-the-hair thing.
Yeah, that's good.
Oh, yeah, we'll hang out.
It'll be fun.
So, why did you leave the police station? What do you mean? Were you upset or anything? No.
No, I was fine.
I don't know how I'm gonna tell my mom about that necklace.
My grandmother gave it to her when she was 13, and then when I turned 13, my mom gave it to me.
She said it was good luck, which is kind of ironic, huh? - Yeah, I haven't felt that way in a long time.
- Which way? Just, you know, like, when it was happening.
- You've felt that way before? - Well, not exactly like that, no.
Let's try these out.
Well, what do you mean you haven't felt that way for a long time? Nothing.
I don't know.
Nothing.
I was just talking.
Yes.
Well, yours is amazing.
Look at mine.
I love yours! You know how they talk about when you die, how you're supposed to see your life flash before your eyes? But when we were lying there on the floor, I didn't see my whole life.
But I had these these stupid concerns, you know, like if we died, we weren't going to finish our assignment Like that matters.
Or if I died, I definitely wouldn't get that job at Dean & Deluca.
Or how I'd never know what I got on my Chem Lab.
Well, that's what I was thinking.
Yeah You know, growing up was always really weird with my dad.
You never knew what was gonna set him off.
I mean alcohol is pretty obviously the problem, but besides that, l-- I could never tell.
I was like It was like living with a ticking time bomb.
I came here, in some ways, to not feel like that again, 'cause I was so sick of feeling unsafe.
Imagine Imagine moving to New York to feel safe.
Hey.
Sean: Hey.
Those look great.
Oh, you're a genius.
- Is this Taste of Tokyo? - Yeah, take it.
Oh, yes.
So, what's going on? Nothing.
We were just finishing up.
Um can you call Felicity a cab? Yeah.
I'll walk you down.
- Are are you okay? - Yeah, I'm just tired.
Are you sure? Because we can talk some more, I mean, I'm already gonna be exhausted tomorrow anyway.
No, I'm fine.
I just need some sleep.
Okay.
I'm I'm really looking forward to the party.
Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
It's gonna be good.
Ben was supposed to meet me at the police station.
We were gonna go through some more mug shots and then go get something to eat.
We even talked about going up to Central Park, but he just didn't show.
Has he shown up yet? He knew 10:00.
Um maybe I should just go ahead and look at the files myself.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on in.
Right in here.
Sit over there.
about yesterday.
I didn't mean to freak out about the cardboard witch.
- Okay? - No, it's fine.
My father never let us go out for Halloween.
He thought it was dangerous.
So I never really got the stupid holiday you know? What are those? Our costumes.
We're going as Subway employees? I think it's funny.
You do? Yeah, my buddy Ed manages the one on 7 th avenue.
Why do you look so disappointed? Because I hate Halloween.
Look, I gotta go to the third floor.
There's an emergency R.
A.
Meeting about bulimia or something.
Um put this on.
And I'll meet you at the party.
- You want me to go alone? - I'll be there in an hour.
Ben! Hey, Frankenstein.
Ben? Andrew.
Oh, God, I'm so sorry.
L- I thought you were Ben.
Julie: There they are.
Yeah, a little.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going? Um what happened to Frankenstein? What? Hey, you wanna get a drink? Okay.
I thought we had a plan.
You know, you were gonna go as Frankenstein.
Yeah, Sean decided we should all go as the Rat Pack.
He's Frank Sinatra, and I'm Peter Lawford or something.
Hey.
Courtney Love, right? Man: Hey, Covington! One second.
Do you know what Subway's number-one seller is? Turkey, 12-inch on white, hold the mayo.
Do you wanna know how I know this? Because this is what people keep asking me for! Noel, I don't care.
Get your ass down here now! Excuse me.
I was just about to check my messages.
I'm Blair! We need to talk.
What? - What's going on with you? - Nothing.
I'm just hanging out.
I waited for you at the police station, and you never even showed up.
I had to set up for the party.
What's the big deal? I guess nothing.
Is your is your movie going okay? Not really.
I'm sort of at an impasse.
L- I interviewed this one woman.
She's afraid of electricity.
Like, she won't touch a light switch or anything.
She's afraid it might kill her.
Oh, my God.
How does she live? Well, she's married to a guy who's not afraid of electricity, which is nice.
So, I I like your costume.
I like your hat.
Uh it was my grandfather's.
Oh, God.
You know, I think l-I'm just gonna go back upstairs.
Can I get you something? maybe a noose.
Stop it.
Andrew: Yeah.
Medicine's supposed to be about sick people, but come on! Without money, you're screwed.
So then I thought, "plastic surgery" boob jobs, tummy tucks.
I carved that pumpkin.
A practice like that is a cash cow.
Have you thought of that? Will you hold this? I'm gonna, um, go to the bathroom and and throw up.
Pardon me.
Zack just kissed me.
What? And I I freaked out.
- You did? You freaked out? - I blew it.
I just I freaked out, which is so unlike me.
'Cause I really need a bathroom.
Oh, my God, no.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Okay, I mean, unless you're not okay, and then I'll hold it.
No, l-I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Really.
- We can talk about this later.
- Thank you.
Oh, sorry.
Hey, what's wrong? Nothing.
I'm okay.
I just Can you just go away? I don't want anyone to see me like this.
It's too humiliating.
Look, come on, you can talk to me.
It's okay, all right? I just wanna help.
You can't help.
Is it Ben? No.
Yes.
He I saw him kissing the pink Power Ranger.
You did? Okay.
Um I'm just Have you ever felt like there's no solace in anything, like wherever you turn, you're just lost? I mean, I've never felt so lost in every conceivable way before.
Okay, help me, go, start.
Um, all right Okay, this is what I think.
I think I think we need to forget about Ben for the moment, and focus focus on you.
Okay? L- I don't think this is helping very much.
Well, I'm just getting started.
Um, see this really awful thing just happened, and it's left a dark cloud hovering, and and it's it's made you feel like like you're weak and vulnerable.
But you're forgetting something very important.
You're forgetting who you are in the equation.
Because Because you're this really strong and and independent and beautiful woman.
And before you let yourself get caught up in the drama of the moment you gotta know you're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be more than fine.
You're gonna be y- you're gonna be great okay? You think? I do.
Oh, no.
Oh! Oh, that really changes my whole attitude about you! I'm so sorry.
No.
It's okay.
I'm wearing gloves.
Elena, it's Noel.
Are you there? You still asleep? What's up? Uh, I just I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
L- I'm sorry and embarrassed um and you have every right to be Is there someone in there? - The Tin Man.
- What? His name is Blair.
The Tin Man's in your room? Will you shut up? Sure.
We just hung out and listened to music.
Fine.
Whatever.
Um, just be careful.
I, uh, hear he doesn't have a heart.
Yeah, very funny.
Have fun.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going? I know what you're doing.
Huh? You and I shared a moment the other night, and now you're freaked out, so you're blowing me off.
What are you talking about? You invited me to that party.
Yes, and you came to my party.
Do you know how stupid I felt in that Bride of Frankenstein - costume? - Well, it's not like it wasn't Halloween.
What were those 2:00 A.
M.
Calls all about, then? - Nothing.
I was just worried about you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
No, you weren't.
You were worried about you.
You were Ionely, and you were freaked out, and as soon as you got too close, you just turned off.
All right, what are you try What are you saying to me? That the next time you need a friend at You know what? Not everybody's like you, all right? Crazy, sensitive, and always judging everybody.
I don't always judge everybody.
I always judge you.
Well, I can't You know, I cannot live up to that all right? I mean, I'm a guy in college.
If I want to make out with a Power Ranger or a ghost or a cheerleader, I can do that.
You're not gonna make me feel guilty about it, either.
I mean, not everything has big meaning, okay? I mean, yes, yeah, we had a nice moment the other night, but so what? It doesn't mean anything.
So, I had an epiphany but it's probably really obvious to you.
I've been acting insane obsessed over a guy who, it turns out, is just a guy.
And what I really need to do is just let it go.
I can't believe they didn't swipe your PlayStation, man.
Yeah, I know.
It's not mine.
So, what, you went out with Julie a little, right? I heard that.
We didn't really go out.
We just sort of hung out.
Why? I kissed her.
And I don't know.
She sort of shut me down.
I wonder if I should give it another try.
I mean, I don't even know if that's what she wants or not, so I gotta take a walk.
Yeah, I gotta go work on that movie.
Hey.
So, what's going on? You treat me like an actual person.
Aren't you one? Last night, when When I kissed you and screwed up our relationship.
I got really freaked out.
And and all of a sudden, l- I just got this chill.
I just I don't wanna mess up the thing that we have whatever it is.
Look, that's Totally cool with me.
I mean you know, I was acting on this impulse, which normally I I wouldn't have done, you know.
But l-I'm not the most experienced guy of all time.
- Zack - No, no, it's okay.
I don't wanna ruin things either.
We're just friends.
That's that's fine.
Now what? I don't know.
* How can a liar tell the truth? * * A voice inside me shouts * * Well, I guess I will * * Find out * * Take this from me * * Take this from me * * Dreams die hard * * Ghosts roam * She's not here.
Oh.
Do you know where she is? Yeah.
Do you want to tell me? She's a friend of mine, you know.
Yeah, I know.
I know that.
And I don't want to see her get hurt.
No, of course not.
I'm not kidding.
- * Take this from me * - I know.
Look, I don't mean to be, uh You're right.
You're a good friend.
You're right.
But could you please just tell me where she is? Please? * Take this from me * - Thanks.
- Sure.
Ma, his name is not "That Guy.
" It's Samuel.
From Brooklyn, I don't know.
It's a biblical name.
- * When you keep getting everything * - Hi.
* And they take it all away * - * Take this from me * - Excuse me, miss.
- * Where is there only one way * - Come on, Felicity, I gotta talk to you.
- * Take this from me * - Just give me a couple of minutes, please.
Okay, I want two coffees.
Hello? I'm a customer now.
Can I have two coffees, please? You know, my break's only Okay, then, I'll just jump in.
I came here today because I wanted to apologize for being such a jerk and I wanted you to know that you were right.
I did push you away.
For some stupid reason, I have a hard time letting people whatever.
Especially people who make me nervous.
I don't make you nervous.
Yeah, you do.
Anyway, that's just a fact.
It's part of who I am.
So Here.
I know it's not exactly like your grandmother's, but And I was thinking, if you wanted to, we could go back and look at some files, I mean, if you want to.
Um the detective said that, uh the odds of catching anyone are are pretty small.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
But still, it might be worth a look.
Here, let me.
Yeah.
* Take this from me * - Oh.
- Sorry.
* Take this from me * * Dreams die hard * * Ghosts won't go away * * When the heart does not agree * Thanks.
Sally: Dear Felicity it's true what you said about soldiers.
They do form a special bond.
But eventually, the battle ends, and those who survive, they go home and try and make sense of it all.
Until a few days ago, I had planned not to tell Emmett about John's death.
- * Take this from me * - It just seemed like too much for both of us.
Then I got your tape, and it reminded me - * Take this from me * - that it's something I really need to do.
I guess we all have our own war stories, but they're meant to be shared, they have to be.
Because these stories They're what bring us together, - * Take this from me * - and they keep us alive.
* Take this *
I really did.
If you wanna date Ben then Then I should.
Zack: Damn it! Some jerk put, like, food coloring in the washing machine.
People are referring to me as "the pink guy" now.
Ooh, no.
Let's just feel awkward with the other people that we're gonna date and break up with.
Are you at all doing this because of Felicity or? Do you have a thing for the pink guy? Dear Sally I don't blame New York.
I love New York.
But something happened the other day that was very New York.
So, you haven't taken the 203? - No.
- That's great because you can go from Battery Park to 72nd in, like, 5 minutes.
- Really? - Yeah.
That takes you up way west, so I mean, first of all, the only times Ben and I ever really hung out was when I was helping him with assignments, and even then, we never really had, you know, conversations.
So, uh, are you gonna keep your job in the Admissions office? - Yeah? - Yeah.
I have to get another one, actually, to help pay for everything.
I have an interview tomorrow at Dean & Deluca.
Oh, yeah? That could be good.
- Yeah.
Have you been there? - No.
I mean, and it wasn't like I didn't want to help Ben, but things weren't getting to the next level You know, deepening.
It's amazing.
- Don't turn around! - Oh! Get down on the ground! Now! Don't look at me! Don't look at me.
Look straight ahead.
Get the stuff.
- No.
- Don't! - Ugh! - Ben! Ben.
I need you to come to the, uh, precinct.
You know, it's not far.
You look through some pictures, see if you recognize anyone.
Uh, tomorrow morning be all right for you? Sure.
How about you, kid? Can you make it? Yeah.
Your stomach all right? You want to be checked? - No, it's fine.
- Huh? I'm fine.
It's just a bruise.
Can I give you a ride, uh back to the dorm? Um, no, that's a good idea.
You should go ahead.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, you should go.
Um well, I'll call you later, and we can go over that assignment.
Okay.
Meghan: I heard there were shots fired.
- Are you serious? - Noel: You heard what? You heard there were shots? - Seriously, do you know this for a fact or not? Some guy in the mailroom said, "Congratulations.
" I said, "Why?" He said, " Because you now have the largest single on campus.
" Some people are so damn sick.
All right, I'm going over there.
Someone should stay here in case she comes back.
Hello.
Hi, Mr.
Porter.
Uh, no, it's it's Julie.
Is Felicity here? Um no.
But Look, here's here's Noel.
Mr.
Porter, hi, this is Noel.
That's right.
Thank you, yeah.
No, things are fine.
Well, they'd be a lot better if I didn't have to read "Ulysses.
" - What are you doing? - What? You're checking out her side of the room, aren't you? - I am not! - Um Uh, no, Felicity isn't isn't here right now.
Um, we're we're just hanging out, uh, waiting for your daughter.
Are you okay? Um you heard already.

We're okay.
We were lucky.

I'm sorry.
Felicity: It was surreal, you know? And then I I looked up, and and I saw his face.
And it was like, "There is a real person pointing a real gun at me.
" Yeah, l-I would have lost it.
I would have started screaming.
I'd have wet my pants and started screaming.
A homeless guy pushed me over once.
Ruined my birthday cake.
- What? - What? - What? Yeah, it's the closest I've ever come to getting robbed.
I was 12.
It was weird.
For a woman, having a gun pointed at you is a whole different thing.
- Has that happened to you? - Yeah.
A couple years ago I was mugged which really pissed me off.
Pink guy, 12:00.
Hey.

I just I wanted to come by and see that you were okay, make sure you're okay.
I remembered reading somewhere that that soldiers who had been through battle that they have some kind of special bond because you know, they survived it.
I never really knew what that meant before last night.
Sorry.
You drink a lot of coffee? No, I just I had a really amazing night last night.
Really? Wh what happened? - I was almost killed.
- No.
- Yeah.
In a robbery, yeah.
But then I stayed up all night with this guy who I've sort of really liked for a long time, so Aw, that's an amazing feeling, isn't it? Oh, my God.
I know.
I know.
What is, um "Perfectly Me"? Oh, uh, my junior year, I worked there.
It's a clothing store for women sizes 16 and up.
It was really nice.
They had some great stuff.
They didn't hate you? Who? The fat women.
Uh they weren't fat.
Size 16 and up are I really liked working there.

I'm with him.
- Would you feel more comfortable with a pumpkin? - I hate Halloween.
I don't think anyone really likes Halloween.
- No, I like Halloween.
- I don't believe you.

We all have work to do.
Yeah, but I actually do mine.
Well, I'm going to that party.
- Do you wanna go? - Yeah.
The detective said we should take our time.
Yes.
It's just none of these guys look familiar to me.
Well, you can't tell that if you're not really looking.
You got anything so far? No.
I found one, um He looks like this guy, sort of, except, um maybe 10 years younger and maybe, uh, - No, but besides that.
- It gives him an idea.
Uh how about you? You find anything? No, I got nothing.
Actually, you know, I gotta get going.
Are you serious? Yeah, I'm supposed to meet Paul, so - Well, you can come back tomorrow.
- Yeah, tomorrow is much better for me, much better.
Um but I'm gonna see you later, though, all right? Sure.
You know, this process is, uh It's difficult for some people, you know? Apparently.

Hey, that stuff's scary.
And for letting me hold your hand.
No, that was that was fine.

The last time I did this, I went trick-or-treating as Yertle the Turtle.
What was that, like, a couple years ago? I was 10.
My mom made this shell out of cardboard and green felt.
It was actually a pretty cool costume.
Yeah, it sounds nice.
These should be good for the party.
So, Sean throws this every Halloween? Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Had to go buy a new stereo, though, you know, 'cause they took the old one.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
But you gotta come.

Oh, yeah, we'll hang out.
It'll be fun.
So, why did you leave the police station? What do you mean? Were you upset or anything? No.
No, I was fine.
I don't know how I'm gonna tell my mom about that necklace.
My grandmother gave it to her when she was 13, and then when I turned 13, my mom gave it to me.
She said it was good luck, which is kind of ironic, huh? - Yeah, I haven't felt that way in a long time.
- Which way? Just, you know, like, when it was happening.
- You've felt that way before? - Well, not exactly like that, no.
Let's try these out.
Well, what do you mean you haven't felt that way for a long time? Nothing.
I don't know.
Nothing.
I was just talking.
Yes.
Well, yours is amazing.
Look at mine.
I love yours! You know how they talk about when you die, how you're supposed to see your life flash before your eyes? But when we were lying there on the floor, I didn't see my whole life.
But I had these these stupid concerns, you know, like if we died, we weren't going to finish our assignment Like that matters.
Or if I died, I definitely wouldn't get that job at Dean & Deluca.
Or how I'd never know what I got on my Chem Lab.
Well, that's what I was thinking.
Yeah You know, growing up was always really weird with my dad.
You never knew what was gonna set him off.
I mean alcohol is pretty obviously the problem, but besides that, l-- I could never tell.
I was like It was like living with a ticking time bomb.
I came here, in some ways, to not feel like that again, 'cause I was so sick of feeling unsafe.
Imagine Imagine moving to New York to feel safe.
Hey.
Sean: Hey.
Those look great.
Oh, you're a genius.
- Is this Taste of Tokyo? - Yeah, take it.
Oh, yes.
So, what's going on? Nothing.
We were just finishing up.

I just need some sleep.
Okay.

Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
It's gonna be good.
Ben was supposed to meet me at the police station.
We were gonna go through some more mug shots and then go get something to eat.
We even talked about going up to Central Park, but he just didn't show.
Has he shown up yet? He knew 10:00.
Um maybe I should just go ahead and look at the files myself.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on in.
Right in here.
Sit over there.

I didn't mean to freak out about the cardboard witch.
- Okay? - No, it's fine.
My father never let us go out for Halloween.
He thought it was dangerous.
So I never really got the stupid holiday you know? What are those? Our costumes.
We're going as Subway employees? I think it's funny.
You do? Yeah, my buddy Ed manages the one on 7 th avenue.
Why do you look so disappointed? Because I hate Halloween.
Look, I gotta go to the third floor.
There's an emergency R.

I'm Blair! We need to talk.
What? - What's going on with you? - Nothing.
I'm just hanging out.
I waited for you at the police station, and you never even showed up.
I had to set up for the party.
What's the big deal? I guess nothing.
Is your is your movie going okay? Not really.
I'm sort of at an impasse.
L- I interviewed this one woman.
She's afraid of electricity.
Like, she won't touch a light switch or anything.
She's afraid it might kill her.
Oh, my God.
How does she live? Well, she's married to a guy who's not afraid of electricity, which is nice.
So, I I like your costume.
I like your hat.
Uh it was my grandfather's.
Oh, God.
You know, I think l-I'm just gonna go back upstairs.
Can I get you something? maybe a noose.
Stop it.
Andrew: Yeah.
Medicine's supposed to be about sick people, but come on! Without money, you're screwed.
So then I thought, "plastic surgery" boob jobs, tummy tucks.
I carved that pumpkin.
A practice like that is a cash cow.
Have you thought of that? Will you hold this? I'm gonna, um, go to the bathroom and and throw up.
Pardon me.
Zack just kissed me.
What? And I I freaked out.
- You did? You freaked out? - I blew it.
I just I freaked out, which is so unlike me.
'Cause I really need a bathroom.
Oh, my God, no.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Okay, I mean, unless you're not okay, and then I'll hold it.
No, l-I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Really.
- We can talk about this later.
- Thank you.
Oh, sorry.
Hey, what's wrong? Nothing.
I'm okay.
I just Can you just go away? I don't want anyone to see me like this.
It's too humiliating.
Look, come on, you can talk to me.
It's okay, all right? I just wanna help.
You can't help.
Is it Ben? No.
Yes.
He I saw him kissing the pink Power Ranger.
You did? Okay.
Um I'm just Have you ever felt like there's no solace in anything, like wherever you turn, you're just lost? I mean, I've never felt so lost in every conceivable way before.
Okay, help me, go, start.
Um, all right Okay, this is what I think.
I think I think we need to forget about Ben for the moment, and focus focus on you.
Okay? L- I don't think this is helping very much.
Well, I'm just getting started.
Um, see this really awful thing just happened, and it's left a dark cloud hovering, and and it's it's made you feel like like you're weak and vulnerable.
But you're forgetting something very important.
You're forgetting who you are in the equation.
Because Because you're this really strong and and independent and beautiful woman.
And before you let yourself get caught up in the drama of the moment you gotta know you're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be more than fine.
You're gonna be y- you're gonna be great okay? You think? I do.
Oh, no.
Oh! Oh, that really changes my whole attitude about you! I'm so sorry.
No.
It's okay.
I'm wearing gloves.
Elena, it's Noel.
Are you there? You still asleep? What's up? Uh, I just I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
L- I'm sorry and embarrassed um and you have every right to be Is there someone in there? - The Tin Man.
- What? His name is Blair.
The Tin Man's in your room? Will you shut up? Sure.
We just hung out and listened to music.
Fine.
Whatever.
Um, just be careful.
I, uh, hear he doesn't have a heart.
Yeah, very funny.
Have fun.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going? I know what you're doing.
Huh? You and I shared a moment the other night, and now you're freaked out, so you're blowing me off.
What are you talking about? You invited me to that party.
Yes, and you came to my party.
Do you know how stupid I felt in that Bride of Frankenstein - costume? - Well, it's not like it wasn't Halloween.
What were those 2:00 A.
M.
Calls all about, then? - Nothing.
I was just worried about you.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
No, you weren't.
You were worried about you.
You were Ionely, and you were freaked out, and as soon as you got too close, you just turned off.
All right, what are you try What are you saying to me? That the next time you need a friend at You know what? Not everybody's like you, all right? Crazy, sensitive, and always judging everybody.
I don't always judge everybody.
I always judge you.
Well, I can't You know, I cannot live up to that all right? I mean, I'm a guy in college.
If I want to make out with a Power Ranger or a ghost or a cheerleader, I can do that.
You're not gonna make me feel guilty about it, either.
I mean, not everything has big meaning, okay? I mean, yes, yeah, we had a nice moment the other night, but so what? It doesn't mean anything.
So, I had an epiphany but it's probably really obvious to you.
I've been acting insane obsessed over a guy who, it turns out, is just a guy.
And what I really need to do is just let it go.
I can't believe they didn't swipe your PlayStation, man.
Yeah, I know.
It's not mine.
So, what, you went out with Julie a little, right? I heard that.
We didn't really go out.
We just sort of hung out.
Why? I kissed her.
And I don't know.
She sort of shut me down.
I wonder if I should give it another try.
I mean, I don't even know if that's what she wants or not, so I gotta take a walk.
Yeah, I gotta go work on that movie.
Hey.
So, what's going on? You treat me like an actual person.
Aren't you one? Last night, when When I kissed you and screwed up our relationship.
I got really freaked out.
And and all of a sudden, l- I just got this chill.
I just I don't wanna mess up the thing that we have whatever it is.
Look, that's Totally cool with me.
I mean you know, I was acting on this impulse, which normally I I wouldn't have done, you know.
But l-I'm not the most experienced guy of all time.
- Zack - No, no, it's okay.
I don't wanna ruin things either.
We're just friends.
That's that's fine.
Now what? I don't know.

Sally: Dear Felicity it's true what you said about soldiers.
They do form a special bond.
But eventually, the battle ends, and those who survive, they go home and try and make sense of it all.
Until a few days ago, I had planned not to tell Emmett about John's death.
- * Take this from me * - It just seemed like too much for both of us.
Then I got your tape, and it reminded me - * Take this from me * - that it's something I really need to do.
I guess we all have our own war stories, but they're meant to be shared, they have to be.
Because these stories They're what bring us together, - * Take this from me * - and they keep us alive.
* Take this *
