Millennium (1996) s03e16 Episode Script

Saturn Dreaming of Mercury

I love this! You like? - I'm going to ride everywhere.
- Yeah.
Tomorrow, in the daylight.
- I get to ride to school, right? - Well, we'll talk about it.
I know what that means.
That means "yes".
Come here.
That means we talk about it.
I'm expecting a call from Grandma.
You stay in the driveway, OK? - The driveway.
You hear me? - Mm-hm.
No, I don't want to double my money in 20 minutes.
Yeah, I know what an IPO is.
How did you get my name, anyway? Well, whoever the hell you are, I want you to take my name off your list.
Who are you? Jordan? Jordan, what are you doing? I was coming I was coming right home.
- You scared me, sweetheart.
- Sorry, Daddy.
Ow! - Did you wear this when you were little? - They didn't have plastic then.
- So what did they make them out of? - Dinosaur bones.
Here.
All right, give me the rules.
Stop at every corner and look both ways before you cross.
- And? - Page you when I get there.
It's only, like, a few blocks.
- Why do you think I'm letting you ride there? - Dad! Be careful.
Have a beautiful day at school.
Good start.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
You want a ride? Come on! Good.
Ready? OK, son.
You ready? Give me five.
Shh! I know.
I saw.
- Did Jordan call? - Not since I got here.
- Something wrong? - No.
We got a new deal.
She goes to school on her own and pages me the second she gets there, but she hasn't.
- I was hoping she'd called.
- You think she's OK? - I know she is.
I followed her.
But - Rules.
If she's distracted, I know she came by that honestly.
Can I borrow the reviews for the case from yesterday? I've misplaced mine.
Yeah.
All right.
Hooray.
- 007? - She's going through her spy phase.
Thank you.
OK, OK, I'll tell him.
Whoa! She bit me! Right here! She bit me! We expect a certain amount ofjousting at that age, but not this.
Teasing is mixed up with roughhousing.
It's mixed up with attraction.
- Yeah.
- This boy says she was following him.
- She never mentioned him.
- He just moved here.
- And what did Jordan say about it? - She's not talking.
This isn't like her.
She's been a model student.
I'd like to ask her what's going on.
Well, you have all day.
We have a firm rule about biting here.
You go home.
- Sorry, but I didn't bite anybody.
- Did too! I didn't.
I didn't! Yes, you did! He's not your father! He's not! He's not! He's not your father! He's not! He's not your father! He's not! He's not your father! He's not your father! He's not! He's not your father! I didn't bite anyone.
- Then what did you do? - I said.
I know you said you didn't know.
But I'm having a very tough time believing that.
- I said I was sorry.
- That's not good enough.
Really.
You gotta tell me what happened.
- Did you take those papers from my desk? - No! How many times do I have to say it? You know, I want you to think about what you did there.
Do you want any more of this? I want you to stay up here until you're ready to tell me what's going on.
I want to tell him.
- Oh, hi.
- Mr Black? We're Lucas' parents.
The boy at school.
- Please, come in.
- We just moved in around the corner.
- I'm Will Sanderson.
This is my wife Jean.
- Frank.
- Hi.
- I'm sorry.
I don't know how this happened.
- So she's not usually? - No, no.
She's a great kid.
A really great kid.
I don't know what's got into her.
How's your son? Well, it's been rough.
You know what it's like for kids at this age.
They move into a new place, they want to fit in - Well, she swears she didn't bite him.
- That's the least of it.
She yelled at Lucas that Will's not his father.
I'm not his father, and Jean's not his mother.
He's adopted.
We never figured out how to tell him, until today.
We had to.
He he came home so distraught.
I keep telling myself your daughter's just a little girl.
- But what kind of a person would do that? - Wait, wait.
We'll get to the bottom of this.
Jordan? Come on down.
We're gonna clear the air, sweetheart.
Come on down.
Jordan.
- Let go! - Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! Come on.
Jordan, come on! Listen to me.
You stop it.
Please, leave.
Go! Simon, help! Simon, help! - My knee! - You hurt yourself.
Who is Simon? Jordan, who's Simon? Honey.
You have to fill this out.
The law requires us to submit this with certain childhood injuries.
- You're implying I did this? - No, it's not an accusation.
In fact, the neighbour who witnessed the accident called to tell us that.
Will Sanderson.
Just fill it out on your way out.
OK, follow my finger, now.
Yes.
Hey, Jordan.
Jordan? - What did you see? - It's just the light's too bright.
That's OK.
We're done now.
The nurse told me about her odd behaviour.
That's why I wanted to check her eyes.
A violent action sometimes follows a blow to the head.
What did you see? There's no organic damage.
Technically, she's fine.
Parenting's tough work.
- When are you gonna tell Daddy what's up? - Nothing's up.
Who's Simon? When you hurt yourself, you said, "Simon, help me!" Who's Simon? - I don't know.
- Jordan.
I don't.
What happened at the hospital, when that doctor was looking in your eye? Did you see something? I know you see things sometimes.
It's important we talk about that.
- It's not that.
- What is it, then? You've gotta be honest with me.
- Jordan? - It's Lucas' father.
He's bad.
- What do you mean? - He's just bad.
I just know it.
I'm Judy Scranton from Neighborhood Friends and Dennis Realtors.
This is Calvin.
Say hello to our new neighbour, Calvin! He's kinda shy.
Well I'm your official welcome on behalf of our local merchants.
Uh My wife's not in right now.
This is really more up her alley.
But you said on the phone this would be a good time.
I did? Uh yeah.
- Come on in.
- Thank you.
Calvin? Calvin! Calvin, come on.
Thank you.
Look at this.
Fresh from the oven.
Ooh, and it's still warm! Smell it.
Come on.
Mmm.
Courtesy of Dole's Home Bakery.
That's down on Main and Fourth.
Calvin, don't touch that.
Calvin, put that back! - My goodness.
Is that your son? - Mm-hm.
- What an angel! Is he around? - He's with his mother.
I know what's weird here.
You've only been here one day, but it looks like you have lived here forever.
When we moved in, we were living out of boxes for months.
Ordering out practically every night, which didn't bother me at all, I'll tell you that We have got everything.
French, Italian, Thai, new cuisine She says that stuff is loaded with parasites.
She refuses to go near it.
And, of course, good old American.
Do they deliver? Yes, they do.
If you're looking for takeout, this place is Mecca.
That reminds me.
There's an excellent Chinese place That's D-A-Z-E.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey, little guy! You don't belong over here.
Come on.
Go back there with your mom.
I'm sorry.
They're antiques.
We got 'em in Arizona.
We're going next winter.
Have you seen the Grand Canyon in the snow? Been quite a day? Yeah.
How's Jordan? She has a new invisible friend named Simon.
That would be all right for a three-year-old.
She leaped down the stairs and attacked the father of a boy who moved in down the block.
She says he's bad.
The father, I mean.
- Is he? - You know, I don't have a take on him yet.
According to the principal, she's obsessed on the son.
- You know, the new boy in school.
- Obsessed, how? She follows him around.
- They say she bit him.
- Is he cute? I'm not trying to butt in.
It's just eight-year-old girls.
I've got a niece that age.
Of course, I was that age once.
Yeah.
- Can I come in? - You already did.
This is a very cool room.
And I like your sweater.
You don't have to, you know.
Say stuff.
I know he's worried about me.
Yes, he is.
You know, he told me about Simon.
He did? Is Simon here? I mean, right now? Is that Simon? - You see him? - Not exactly, but I know he's there.
What is that he's wearing? He just moved here from Phoenix, so he's cold all the time.
That's why he's wearing that big, huge coat.
Simon doesn't want me talking about him.
- That's an intense little girl you've got there.
- Intensity's fine.
This is something else.
Well, you were right about two things.
She doesn't like whatever his name is.
Your neighbour.
Will Sanderson.
And she does have an imaginary friend named Simon.
- I found something out.
He's from - Phoenix.
How'd you know? Is that where the new family's from? There's an unsolved murder.
A pregnant woman.
The baby died.
Mrs Simon.
Phoenix, Arizona.
You wanna tell me what's going on? Bye-bye.
Thank you.
I liked that man.
Didn't you, Cal? What you got there, Cal? Calvin? What is that? Did you take something? Honey? What ya doing? Honey? Calvin.
Calvin! Calvin! Give that to me! The boy escaped with mild contusions.
The mother died from several "For Sale" signs that penetrated on impact.
Single mom, hard-working.
No one's stepping forward to claim the boy.
Jordan? - How come Hollis is here? - She's helping me with something.
The car crash wasn't an accident.
Get a move on.
We have to leave in ten minutes.
- Lucas' dad made her crash.
- Ten minutes.
Get a move on.
OK.
- 007? - She may be right.
What's that? The Simon case in Phoenix, and the woman here.
Their deaths are remarkably similar.
- Explosion from within.
- Frank, this one's a car wreck.
This one was torn apart by a knife.
We still need the photo of the Phoenix woman's husband.
Are you saying he'll turn out to be Will Sanderson? He wouldn't be the first to murder his wife then change his identity.
- You know something I don't, don't you? - It's just a gut feeling.
Yeah.
OK, forget it.
I'm just trying to understand, that's all.
I'll go get you your photo.
- When can I ride my bike to school again? - We'll see.
Listen, what you said about Lucas' dad causing the crash.
- Why do you say that? - Cos he did.
How do you know? - He's bad.
They were at his house.
- It's hard to tell who's bad and who isn't.
- Not for me.
- Well No one sees everything, honey.
I need you to stay away from Lucas, OK? OK? - OK.
- OK.
What'll happen to the little boy in the car crash? He'll get adopted by a family that want a little boy very much.
- Just like Lucas? - Like Lucas.
- Should I shut it down and restart it? - I've lost my files.
- "Simon says"? - Is that what we all have? - Frank Black, - Is Jordan with you? I think you're overreacting.
She's in science class right now.
- I want to make sure she's OK.
- She's fine.
Maybe because Lucas isn't here today.
No, I don't wanna go down there.
Are you sure he's down there? Positive? OK.
- What are you doing? - Get away from me! - No one is going to hurt you.
- Get away! Jordan.
Help! - Be quiet.
- Help! Just be quiet! Get over here now! Jordan! Just calm down! Shh! Help! Sign this.
It says your daughter's been released into your custody.
Your neighbour said don't press charges.
Doesn't want her to have a record.
That's not why he said lay off.
He's not who he says he is.
- I have photos coming to prove that.
- I'll still need your signature at the bottom.
Hey, Frank.
I am trying to be a good neighbour.
Jordan is out of control.
- She said she didn't do it.
- Of course.
But she needs help.
- Who else was there? - Are you serious? - Answer the question.
- You interrogating me? - Maybe you should go now.
- Frank? Frank! - He is withholding evidence vital to this case.
- What case? You know, I should be suing.
- It's not him.
- What do you mean, it's not me? Who is that? You are as nuts as your daughter.
Frank.
- They told me she stabbed him with shears.
- There was someone else there.
- Who? - I don't know, but I believe her.
- Why? - Why? I'm not picking a fight, just asking what's going on.
You have some idea.
You really think she stabbed him in the leg with shears? - You're saying he did it to himself? - No.
- Then who do you think did? - Get the shears.
Have them examined.
- It's police jurisdiction.
- Please.
- What do we test for? Fingerprints? - Everything.
I'll sign it.
Honey, if Simon is really your friend, how come he's not showing himself to me? I know all your other friends, don't I? Sometimes when people say they're your friend, they're not telling the truth.
Can't you tell when someone's bad? I'm not sure.
It's Agent Hollis.
You're right about the prints.
There's another set on the shears.
We haven't got a match yet.
- What is it? - The fingerprints are from a child.
Right.
And not from Jordan.
So stop telling me you have no idea what's going on.
They're from the kid.
Lucas.
He's been doing everything.
- What's that even mean? - You asked me what was going on, and I told you.
But that's not even possible.
You saw something.
What was it? - I'm going to the Sanderson house.
- Frank Listen.
Jordan's upstairs.
Stay with her.
Don't let her outta your sight.
Please.
Jean? Will? My dad's in trouble! He needs me! I have to get over there! Jordan, now, he wants us to stay here, OK? - Mr Sanderson's after him! - No, Mr Sanderson is not doing this.
- He is! - No.
Your dad said so.
- And he can take care of himself.
He's fine.
- No! Jordan! Wake up.
Wake up.
Come on, hurry! Hurry! My dad's coming back.
Hurry! - I'm really tired.
I'm not gonna make it.
- You're carrying too much.
- I'm not carrying anything.
- You know what I mean.
Let it go.
- This is not the way out.
- It's the only way out.
- What? - You know Jordan's future.
You don't wanna be around when it happens.
I'm doing you a favour.
- You can't keep me down here.
- You think? Who's stronger, Frank? Me or you? Daddy? Jordan? Daddy? Jordan.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
- Daddy, I'm scared.
- It's OK.
It's OK.
- Daddy! Daddy! - Jordan! - Daddy! Daddy! - Jordan! Jordan! No! No! The firemen are here, they're gonna go get your dad.
Daddy! Come on.
We gotta get outta here.
- Daddy! - Oh, my God! Where's Will? - Where's Lucas? No! My little boy's - Daddy! Daddy! - Help! - Lucas! - Lucas! - Help! - Don't go in! - He's my son! - No, he's not! - Come back! - Hey! - No! Lucas! - I got you.
- Who's stronger, Frank? Me or you? - Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! - Jordan, no.
Daddy! How are you? Do you see, Daddy? Yeah, I see it.
See what? See what, Frank? The fingerprints off the shears came back from the lab.
They match the prints of the dead baby in Phoenix.
The one Mrs Simon was carrying.
Even though he technically died unborn, the father named him on the death certificate.
Lucas.
- That doesn't surprise you.
- You want an explanation.
I don't have one.
What did you see in that window before the house exploded? - What did you and Jordan see? - I'm not sure.
That is such a lie.
I am so tired of stumbling through this with you, not seeing, not knowing.
Not anything.
I didn't get into this to be a delivery boy, even for you.
Emma I see what I'm allowed to see.
Just like everyone else.
I didn't see anything.
Neither did Jordan.
Not clearly.
Not this time.
But she will.
And if she doesn't? I made this!
