07x09 - The Lady in the Fish Bowl

[bunniefuu]

[waves crashing]

[alarm ringing]

Ah.

[music]

I'm surprised.

what?

well, you look so rested.

Don't know how you could sleep in that fishbow.

You know, the people tapped on the window almost all night long.

Yeah, I can imagine.

It's a good thing I had those earplugs.

Your eyes up pretty well, considering.

Wouldn't do a full scent like this for a million dollars

Oh, $, is going to put a college

diploma in my son's hand one fine day.

Hmm.

These dresses.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.

Picture you in the paper this morning.

-Oh, is it? -Yeah, Pretty good too.

-You got it? -Yeah, I got it.

Let me see.

Oh, there it is.

Oh, I'm eating lunch with everybody

steering at me. Doesn't that look silly?

I thought you looked pretty good.

There you are to try and model it.

Ah. Well, I was a model for years before I got married

And I'm trying to get my foot back into it.

-Excuse me. -Vactum.

-Excuse me. -Oh, yeah.

Yes sure. That's why I got this job.

I came to see Mr. Simpson.

Here I am. Do you call this side show modeling?

Oh.

It's the beginning. Well, back to my public.

[music]

[dialing number]

[telephone ringing]

Hi.

Oh, hi, Moms. How's things with the zoo?

Good.

See, I'm going to bring some of the g*ng up later to show you off.

All right, honey. Yeah. Goodbye. I'll see you later.

You know me. I'm the dummy that moves.

[laugh]

[music]

He's still out there.

He's been out there practically all day just steering.

Well, that's what they're here for, dear.

Better get used to as you expect to last a week.

I'll last alright.

I don't really mind it's just that.

Something strange about him. Thanks.

Everybody sort of stares, but

he's different.

I get a feeling about him.

Maybe you know.

No, not that kind of feeling is it.

Yes, kind thing.

You don't suppose he's some kind of a nudge?

I don't know. I can't explain it.

I don't know what it is that I feel when he looks at me.

I'll tell you what.

I'm going to leave the door open a cr*ck and you take a peek.

He's got a dark hat and a dark gray blazer and he

usually stands right up in front and see what you think.

I'm scared already.

[music]

What's the matter Mrs.Foley too much nightlife?

Nightlife nothing.

Couldn't sleep a wink last night

thinking of the man you told me about.

Wish had kept it to yourself.

-Have you seen them since? -No, thank goodness.

Well

[music]

Hi. What's your hurry?

Oh, come on.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Oh, wait I am going to make you hurt.

Let's go, let go.

[screaming]

Go.

[running]

Ill k*ll you.

I'll find you and I'll k*ll you.

[door knocking]

[music]

[screaming]

On your first encounter a year ago, did you get a good look at him?

I certainly did.

A very good look. Oh, it's the same man, all right, Captain.

He's tall and dark and good looking.

He looked exactly the same. Except now for this scar.

Tonight he pointed to the scar and then he pointed

to me. And I think he said, I'm going to get you,

Or something like that.

Mrs. Hayes, why didn't you report this incident a year ago?

You saw the man then. You could have given us a good description."], index ,…}



I was afraid to, captain.

Well, he yelled all sorts of things at me, and

I'm going to Find you and get you and k*ll you.

He just had the most terrible thr*at.

I'm sorry.

[coughing]

And anyway.

I was afraid from my family as well as

myself because my husband had just

d*ed and we were all terribly upset about it.

As it wasn't, I didn't want to add to that.

Anyway.

I just didn't go to the police because I didn't want to

get my picture, my name and my address in the newspapers.

We would have kept it out of the papers till the man was apprehended.

Well, I didn't know that.

that's too bad.

A good description. Then we could have done the job in

no time. That way would have been safer for everyone.

Well, I'm awfully sorry. Maybe I should

have called the police, but I was afraid.

I just wanted to forget the whole thing,

that's all. That's normal, isn't it?

Well you can't forget it now.

No I guess not.

I'm sorry. I guess our little stunt is over. You

realize I can't go on living in the window now?

Of course. It's too bad. I'm sorry.

Yes, so far.

We'll make some sort of settlement with you.

That's very kind of you. Thank you and very generous.

-Good night. -Good night.

Mrs. Hayes, it's entirely up to you. But I tell you you couldn't

find a safer place in the world to live than right in that window.

Oh I just couldn't.

As I said it's your decision.

Think, Where could we keep a closer watch on you?

That's right. We could force a hours

guard. You'd be perfectly safe, Mrs.

But I wouldn't feel safe, Mr. Simpson.

Why does pitch black out there in the middle

of the night? Anything could happen on that.

Nothing will happen. We can keep an eye on your every move.

Where else could we give you such protection?

Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

Honestly, I don't. I'm just so afraid.

Look, you'll be doing the department a

favor. We want to get that man. He'll

be back. And under these circumstances

we'd have a good chance of catching him.

The lady in the fishbow turns into the bait in the traper.

Will you stay?

No.

I wasn't very much helped to you last year, was I?

No you weren't.

And you'd have men watching me all the time. I mean all the time.

You won't see them, but they'll be there. They're out there now.

All right I'll stay.

-Very well. -Good.

I'll send some more extra men right over, Mr. Simpson.

See you in the morning. Mrs. Hayes,

Really.

You'll be all right out there.

Good night.

Good night.

[music]

Yes. I understand that you had men posted everywhere.

That's what I'm saying. What good are they?

The other day, in broad daylight

When the policemen on either side of he stood there and he wrote a note

and nobody saw him.

There's no need to get upset, Mrs. Hayes.

Upset, for heaven's sake.

We're all sorry we missed him.

Sorry?

But it is possible for a man to get lost in these

crowds if he behaves just like one of the crowd.

But I promise you, if he tries to do

anything slightly suspicious, we'll NAB him.

It's one thing to write a message on that gadget out there and get

away with it. It'll be something else if he tries to get to you.

Look, he said he was coming back tonight.

This is your last night, so he probably will try something.

We're ready for him.

Well, I hope so.

You're really going back in that fishbow?

Yeah she is.

All right I'll change.

Poor.

Good morning.

Yeah.

[door closing]

[door knocking]

Yeah, who is it?

-Chuck. -Oh.

I that all right here? just checking.

Yes, fine.

Want some coffee?

Thanks, not now. Maybe a little bit later.

Alright.



Well, in that case, I think I'll turn in.

Tomorrow is my last day in this fishbow.

There's going to be all sorts of

goings on. Help me with this, will you?

Good for you. You want the money, huh?

Yeah, it looks that way.

Look, I'll leave the coffee pot plugged in, so if you want

some later on, just come in and help yourself. All right.

Thanks, Mrs. David. I'll check back in minutes.

-All right. -You got some sleep?

Yes. If I go for coffee, I'll be real quiet.

Oh, don't worry. You won't wake me. I'm not going to do

much sleeping tonight, I'm afraid. Good night, chuck.

-Good night. -Yes?

[music]

[door opening]

Good morning, Chuck I want to sleep.

[door closing]

There's some cake in there if you want it.

[music]

I think maybe I'll join you.

Now listen to me, don't make a sound.

Listen to me.

I didn't come here to k*ll you, but I will.

One more sure don't make any difference. I only

came here to cough. Come. Hold on yourself.

At first you said something about coffee and then cake.

I like that.

Get a hold of yourself.

Turn on the lights.

Everything's got to look right.

Turn them on. Easy.

I still have his g*n.

Is it?

Now turn on those lights?

Coffee?

lights, actions, camera.

I like this.

Easy, easy.

Easy.

Easy.

It's like a stage or a movie.

We've even got an audience out there.

Look at me.

No.

Cream.

Go get the cream.

[music]

I always wanted to be an actor.

Everybody told me I was good looking enough to be.

I was too.

We would have made a good team.

Maybe we'll still make some kind of a team.

Aren't you having any? Afraid of to keep you awake?

What kind of cake have you got?

-I don't know. -No.

Look at me.

Yes.

Smile.

Smile for them.

[smiling]

I really like this.

It's like a struggle.

-Can i get the cake? -Smile.

They're all watching.

Dead, Chuck really living it up.

Cake and coffee. Yeah, the lady's

company. Wouldn't be hard to take either.

There you are.

I think I've changed my mind. I think I

will have some coffee. Is that all right?

Just go for it, easy.

Don't take so much time.

[music]

Stop.

Put the coffee down.

Turn around.

Turn around.

I can't stay much longer.

I watched the cops visit.

He didn't stay very long.

So? So I can't stay very long.

Now go in the bedroom.

Please.

Go in the bedroom.

Turn off the lights.

Now, sit on the bed.

I want you to know what it's like to lose your looks.

[Screaming]

[breaking glass]

Sir, we got him.

Yes.

He was crazy, crazy just crazy.

Too bad we didn't catch up with him sooner.

How many crimes he's committed in this last year alone?

[crying]
