01x13 - Terror at High Point

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:
The name: Dr. Richard Kimble.

The destination:
death row, state prison.

The irony:
Richard Kimble is innocent.

Proved guilty, what
Richard Kimble could not prove

was that moments
before discovering

his m*rder*d wife's body,
he saw a one-armed man

running from the vicinity
of his home.

Richard Kimble
ponders his fate

as he looks at the world
for the last time...

and sees only darkness.

But in that darkness,
fate moves its huge hand.

ANNOUNCER:
The Fugitive.

A QM production.

Starring David Janssen
as the fugitive.

With guest stars
Jack Klugman...

Elizabeth Allen.

Co-starring James Best...

Buck Taylor.

Tonight's episode,
"Terror At High Point."

NARRATOR;
The place: Utah.

The hills above
Salt Lake City.

The project:
to move a mountain.

Giant machines
and armies of men

moving millions
of tons of earth

to make way for a river.

A river which one day
will turn the desert into Eden.

For Richard Kimble,
the mountain offers protection.

Here he is
Paul Beaumont, timekeeper,

lost among the other workers.

Here he feels
he can rest awhile.

Here he is safe.

Beaumont?

How about those
time sheets?

I've got one more crew
to check out.

Well, get with it, huh?

Yep.

Hi,
sergeant.

Morning, Mr. Harmon.

Anything wrong?

Yeah. This thing has
started sh**ting oil.

We noticed it just as we were
passing your access road.

Now if there was just
a good mechanic.

I'm a graduate engineer, okay?

That's good enough.

The oil filter needs
a new gasket, that's all.

Why don't you
pull it over there,

ask for Monty?

Say I said
to fix it.

Thanks a lot.

Nice to know there are
cops around, huh?

What?

I said it's nice to know
there are cops around.

I mean, a job
like this,

you get all kinds,
you know?

Yeah. Hey,
I better, uh...

I'd better
get those, uh,

figures from that last crew, hm?
Yeah.

By the way,
from the main office.

Some mistake about
your Social Security number.

Well...

Boy, I never could get
those digits straight.

Let me see.

Well, clear it up
with the payroll office.

Huh? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you bet.

Beaumont.

What's a man like you
doing here anyway?

Well, I have to work.
Gotta... Gotta eat.

The lowest job in camp,
next to the water boy?

A college man doing
that kind of work?

Oh, I know a college man
when I talk to one.

Am I not doing my job?

You're doing your job.

Well, then pay me
and forget it.

Or boot me out
and forget that too.

Your problem.

Thanks.

You hiding?

You hiding,
Paul?

Not hiding, Jamie.

You playing games?
Can I play?

I know lots of games.

Well, we both
got a lot of work to do.

Well, maybe Sunday
when I'm off.

Paul?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, maybe Sunday.

Well, you've got work to do.

Thanks a lot.

We sure couldn't have
made it back to the station.

Hey, let's have
a little fun.

There he is.

Hey, gimme that
silver dollar you got...

Got in Vegas.

Hey there, man, what do you
think you're gonna do?

You'll get it back.

Hey, Jamie.

Hey, Jamie.

Come here.

Come here,
Gunga Din.

You're a little slow
upstairs, aren't you?

You want a drink?

We got more water than you have
right there on that truck.

Do you wanna
pick up a dollar?

I dropped a silver dollar
right there in that water.

Now you pick that up,
and it's yours.

I don't want to
get my shoes wet.

Go ahead.

Finders keepers.

RUFE: How's the water, water boy?

You know, they ought to
give you a medal

for picking on
a kid like this.

Maybe you'd like for me
to pick on you?

Come on, Jamie,
I'll help you clean up.

Yeah. Wash
his little face,

wash his little
hands.

That's what he needs
is a wet nurse.

Come on, Jamie.

Big-hearted Joe,
huh?

So you got him
a job with Buck.

Buck wants to hire him,
that's all right.

He's the boss.

But you better
keep an eye on him.

Dumb kid like him can
make a lot of trouble.

You know, Murdy, if you had
a brain you'd be dangerous.

You gonna call names?

Go play in
your mud puddle.

Ha.

MAN : Get in the water there. Come on.

MAN :
Let him have it, Dan.

Let him have it.

MAN :
Come on, get up!

MAN : Dump his head in
the water there. Come on.

Come on.

Let him
have one now.

MAN :
Let him have another one.

MAN :
Go. Come on, Dan. Go!

Come on there,
guys.

Go, Dan, go!

MAN :
Come on, Dan.

Come on,
will you?

Knock it off!

Brawling like
a couple of drunks.

All right,
the rest of you,

go back to work!
Go on. Go on!

What happened
to you?

I...

I... I fell
in the mud.

Tsk.

All right, clean yourself off,
get back on the job.

All right, I don't care
who started it or why.

All I care about
is time lost on the job.

Time I can't afford to lose,
with our tight schedule.

Letting your men
pick on a Ret*rded boy

is not gonna save
any time for you.

Look, Beaumont.
You butt in again...

All right,
knock it off.

Now, you go to work
and stay away from the boy, Dan.

All right, Buck.
But I'm telling you...

you better get rid of that kid,
or you won't have enough men

left to complete nothing.

You, I can replace.

And the boy.

But heavy-equipment men
happen to be hard to come by.

I don't know how
I let you talk me into it.

Needed a water boy.

Not an -year-old child.

He's capable of
a lot more, Buck.

Ask your wife. She's been
trying to help him.

Look, Buck, he walked
all the way from his home,

just on the chance
of finding work.

He lives miles away.
He needs the job.

I need mine too.

All right. One more chance.

Any more trouble,
he goes down the hill.

Well...that sure
looks nice, Mike.

Yes, indeed.

Just come to daddy.

Yeah.

Come on, Mike. Now,
you know $ is the limit.

Oh, pikers
and ribbon clerks.

Here's your deuce.

All right. Then
loan me a hundred,

and we'll up
the ante.

Come on, Dan.
Get in the game.

Well...

did you wash
behind your ears?

RUFE: He sure looks nice and clean,

hair combed
and all.

Hey, what did you do?
Comb it with goose grease?

Uh, I'll open
for a deuce.

All right.
Gimme two, will you?

Kind of
forgot my cap.

Need a little fresh air.
I'll walk you out.

MAN:
Gimme a trey.

Here. Give me one.

That's yours.

Back to pappy.
Back to pappy, buddy.

All right, let's play.
Let's play.

I wouldn't wanna
get you in trouble.

No, you're not,
Jamie.

Hm. My pa
was like you.

He was big like you.

You're a pretty
big kid yourself.

How long has it been since
your father's been dead?

Oh.

I don't know. It...

Well, I ain't sure.

It's... It's kind of
mixed up.

I sure miss him.

He was an engineer
on the railroad.

And he knew
lots of things.

He... He used to read to me
out of big books.

Well... There's only
Mom and me now.

And... And Dottie.

Dottie, she's small.

I know.

I'm the only one
big enough now,

so I gotta
help Mom.

I gotta work.

And...well, I'm strong.

I can work.
I can work hard.

Paul?

You think I can work?

Oh, I think you're
doing fine, Jamie.

Mrs. Harmon,
she's teaching me too.

She reads stories,
and then she...

And she teaches me
some of the words.

Yeah, Mrs. Harmon, uh...

you better not keep her waiting.

Hey. You wanna climb up
to that place again Sunday?

Okay, Jamie.

My pa used to let me
climb with him sometimes.

See you, Paul.

See you, Jamie.

"A little afternoon,
I found the sea very calm,

"and the tide ebbed so far out,
that I could come

within a quarter of a mile
of the ship."

Jamie...

you haven't even
touched your cocoa.

I guess I ain't hungry.

You're still thinking
about this afternoon.

Mrs. Harmon?

Yeah?

Why'd they do like that to me?

Because that's the kind
of men they are.

Jamie...

this is something
you must learn.

The world is
full of men like that.

They're mean
and vicious.

I wouldn't say
they were

as decent as
most animals.

If I hadn't found someone
like Buck...

Well...

I'll warm this up
for you.

Hi, honey.

Your dinner almost
got tired waiting.

Oh. Y-y...

Yeah, well, I got hung up
on specifications.

Cold bottle of beer
will hit the spot.

Jamie, we're going to
have to stop now. I'm sorry.

But we'll work some more
tomorrow night, hm?

Here, why don't you
take this with you...

and try to
make out

some of the words
I showed you.

It's not hard, hm?

Maybe Mr. Beaumont
will help.

Okay.

Good night,
Jamie.

Good night.

Did you have to
do that?

Oh, shut up
and come here.

I mean...

did you have to
run him off like that?

Honey, it's late
and I'm hungr...

I don't like to
find him here every night.

Buck, he...
He needs a little help.

He's just like
a child.

A child? He tops me
by pounds.

That's a child?
Oh, ho, ho, ho.

Buck.

I mean...

Well, he's... He's got the mind
of an -year-old kid.

Ruth, I just don't
want him here, that's all.

Why?

I'm asking you something.

Why don't you
want him here?

First of all...
you never can tell

what a kid like that'll
do, you know.

Meaning what?

Meaning I work
darn hard all day.

I got a right
to come home

and take my shirt off
and relax

without having that kid
underfoot, huh? Um...

Has he ever
bothered you?

Now, what has he done?

All right, maybe
I just don't like kids.

Well, then, maybe you should
have married somebody else!

Buck...

What's wrong with me?

Why don't we have
a family?

It's not natural...

and it's not right.

People who get married
should have kids.

You're not a family
until you have kids.

Buck...

if it is me...

Oh, uh, here we go
again

Look, if anybody wants me,
I'll be down at the shack.

Oh, no...

Hi.

Is Buck around?

Well, he's over
at the far end.

Oh, darn.

I've gotta go
have my hair done.

Well, I'll tell him
you stopped by.

Will you? Thanks.

Oh, Mrs. Harmon.

I, uh...

I think somebody
ought to thank you

for what you're
doing for Jamie.

Oh. Teaching him
a few simple words.

Well, it's what he needs.
It gives him confidence.

It helps to make him feel
like he's other people.

Mm-hm.

Well...I could do a lot more

for him if Buck...

You know, I never
will be able to figure

how you talked Buck
into putting him on.

That makes us even.
Neither will I.

Oh, I don't mean that
Buck is that tough.

Not the way
he wants you to think.

When you get to know him, he's...

I mean, really get to
know him, he's...

Well, I talk too much.

Looks like it paid off.

Talent.

BUCK: And I want you
to load more every run.

Buck.

I'll talk to you
about it later.

You were sleeping
when I left.

It was kinda early
and...

Twenty to .

Buck...

one of us has to say it.

I'm sorry.

Two of us.

Buck...love me.

Trust me.

Love me, please,
the way I love you.

Honey. Every time we fight,
it tears me apart.

Then let's not fight
anymore...ever.

About anything.

I... I've gotta
go into town.

I'm gonna have
my hair done, but...

I'll be back by .

Don't work late tonight.

Not for this company
or seven companies like it.

Come on, I'll walk you
back to the car.

What's that?

Oh, Buck. It's hot.

All the women
dress this way.

Yeah, b...

Oh, come on.

What a woman, pappy.
What a woman.

She's stuck-up.
Always was.

Even when she worked
in that bar in Elko.

Hey...

You do that again,
and I'll break my appointment.

Big baby, huh?

Yeah.

Wouldn't you like to
drive one of these?

Oh, I sh... I sure would.

Well...I could show you
how to operate it.

Oh, I don't think
I better. Heh.

Why, if you drove
one of these,

you'd make a lot more money
than being a water boy.

Buck, uh...

he'd like to see you
learn the controls.

Mr. Harmon said so?

Sure. You don't think
I'd lie about it, do you?

Well...
Come on.

Come on, get up there.
It won't bite you.

I'll show you.

Here we are.

Right here's your,
uh, brake,

here on the left.

These are your foot feeds
for the rear and front.

Right here is your,
uh, gear shift.

Here, take my...

helmet.

Now you look like
a real driver.

You go ahead and familiarize
yourself with it.

Take your time.

Wait'll that thing
starts moving.

Then you'll
hear him yell.

Looks mighty dangerous
to me, Dan.

No, it's in low gear.

I showed him
where the brake is.

Go ahead.

Rev up a little!

Hey!

You all right,
Jamie?!

Jamie!
Don't!

Buck, he might
be hurt.

He's lucky I don't
break his neck.

He could have
k*lled somebody.

I told you,
Buck.

All right. I'm gonna
get him out of here.

You check the scraper.
All right,

you guys, back to work.
Go ahead.

You take the jeep,
drive him into town.

I'll see that he gets
a week's severance pay.

Look, Buck,
he's just as scared...

I want him
out of here!

Can't it wait till tomorrow?

At least let me find him, uh,
drive him home,

explain to his mother.

Overnight. I'll be
responsible for him.

Okay. Don't
forget it.

Jamie?

Ha.

I been looking
for you.

Had a feeling
you might be up here.

You're not afraid of me,
are you, Jamie?

We're friends.

Them others.

Well, they won't
hurt you anymore.

They ain't mad
about that machine?

Why should they be?
You didn't do any damage.

Mr. Harmon...

he ain't mad neither?

Well, that's why
I came up here, Jamie.

I wanted to tell you
he understands.

He likes you...

But he's gonna have to
send you home.

I can't go home.

I gotta work.

Mom is counting on the money.

This isn't a very good job
for you, Jamie. I...

Look, I'll tell you what.
We'll, uh...

We'll look around.

We'll find you something better.

You trust me, don't you, Jamie?
We're friends.

Well, come on, let's go
down the hill.

We'll talk about it.

You take my word?

Hi, honey.

I'm sorry. I know I was
gonna come home early.

One of the big shovels
conked out.

How are you?

Mm-hm.

The boy, huh?

You know about
the boy, right?

Mrs. Hendricks
told me.

Honey, I have to
let him go.

A kid like that, you gotta
watch him hours a day.

Believe me. You never
can tell what he'll do.

Honey, he almost
k*lled some men today.

Does that mean
anything to you?

I know he wouldn't have
gotten up on that thing

if somebody hadn't
put him up to it.

Sure, there's always
some excuse.

Did you try to
check it out?

Did you ask?

Did you treat him
like anyone else?

He's not like
anyone else.

All right. So he's Ret*rded.

But does that make him fair game
for men like Dan Murdy?

Mean, vicious
animals.

Oh, Buck.

I expect it of them.
But not you.

I told you I was tired of it.

Every lost kid that comes along,

why do you have to be
the great earth mother?

Maybe that's because
I don't have one of my own.

Here we go again.

Why don't I, Buck?

We've had
seven years.

You know why.
Look at the way we live.

Job to job, place to place!

A lousy -by- trailer.
This is no place to raise kids.

Mrs. Hendricks is raising hers.

And Mrs. Gustafson.
And Mrs. Beale.

Well, maybe I want more
than their husbands!

Maybe you want a wife
you can trust.

Someone you didn't meet
working in a cocktail bar.

Someone you think
is fit to be a mother.

Oh, honey,
that's not true.

Come on.

Honey.

Well, why don't
you say it?

You've thought it
long enough.

A cocktail waitress
in a two-bit bar.

Honey, you're wrong.
You're way off base.

Then what else is it?

Go ahead. Run back
to the office.

I'm not going to the office.
I'm going into town.

What for?

If I'm lucky, to get drunk!

Oh, it's a good idea
to pack the night before.

Get a good start
in the morning.

Bet your mother
will be glad to see you.

Paul?

What, Jamie?

You think maybe I ought to
tell them I'm sorry?

No reason to be sorry.

That yours?

Uh, Mrs. Harmon's.

Robinson Crusoe, huh?

You know, it's one of
the best books I ever read.

She lent it to me so I could
pick out some of the words.

I was thinking
I'll take it back.

Jamie, why don't you?

If you t... Take it back,
you can say goodbye to her.

I'll, uh... I'll
finish up this for you.

Okay.

Help!

You hear that, Charley?

Hear what?

Was a scream
or something.

Maybe it's one of
the kids.

Both sound asleep.

You're imagining again.

I'm not imagining.

Jamie?

Ruth?

Charlie!

Where'd you find him?
In town.

She, um...

Suffering from shock.

I think she might have
a slight concussion.

I'm sure she'll be
all right.

Who made you the doctor?

First-aid man
went to town.

MRS. HENDRICKS: We
telephoned for Dr. Santley.

Charley said
you saw the boy outside.

Well, did you or didn't you?

I think it was he.

He ran.

He never seemed the sort
of boy that would...

How did this get here?

It was on the floor
up front.

He can't run far enough.

Buck.

Look, there's nothing
to prove it was the boy.

Only his cap. Her seeing him.

What was he doing here anyway?

I sent him over...

to return a book.

Robinson Crusoe.

Did you find the book?

You talked me
into letting him stay.

You're not gonna talk me
into anything else.

Uh, he loved your wife like
a kid loves his own mother.

He's not capable of
something like this.

He's not the type.

I know what I'm
talking about.

You're the doctor.

Tell it to the police.

It was the way
she screamed that hit me.

I'm telling you, when you hear
a woman scream like that...

Well, she was scared.

Somebody coming
at you like that.

RUFE: Just like a wild animal.

She was my wife, I'd...

You know Buck's always been
a square Joe with us.

He didn't deserve
what's happened to him.

He sure don't.

MIKE: And he ain't the only
one with a wife in camp.

Charley, you think it's gonna
be safe with that kid out there?

Oh, I don't think
he'd try it again.

How do you know
he wouldn't try again?

He's stronger than an ox.
He could be dangerous.

You know, I got a r*fle in
my locker for sh**ting rabbits.

Now some of you
other fellows got g*ns too.

I say we get 'em out.

Let's get with it.
Come on, fellas.

And we'll meet
right here.

RUFE:
Right.

There was a bruise
on her cheek

and a cut on
her, uh...

you know, forehead there.

And I think
he tried to choke her,

'cause she's still out.

I know it's rough, Mr. Harmon,
but maybe you're lucky.

Yeah, lucky.

She could be dead.

You know who did it?

I got a pretty good idea.

We'll be right out.

And don't let anybody leave.

Don't worry.

It'll take about
minutes.

Now, you keep hold of yourself.

It's Mrs. Harmon.
An .

I've just made
some fresh coffee.

Won't you
have a cup?

Thank you.

Do you think the police
will take the boy in?

Uh-huh.

What will they do?

Ask him a few questions.

Charge him maybe.

It won't come to anything.

Are you sure?

I'm sure he didn't do it.

Where are the rest
of 'em?

They're a-coming,
Dan.

We gotta get going.

Longer we wait, the harder
it's gonna be to find him.

We'll start with
the camp.

Search it out.
Every corner.

And don't hesitate
to use those g*ns.

We're dealing
with a mad dog now.

Oh, that's
ridiculous.

You butting in again,
Beaumont?

Now, look, he's just
a frightened kid.

Now there's no reason
for all this.

Nobody proved
it was Jamie, right?

Who did Mrs. Hendricks see
coming out? Santa Claus?

Well, then let
the police handle it.

It's their job, not yours.

Never mind, Beaumont.
If they don't get him now,

they'll never get him
with a -foot net.

If we don't get him...

there won't be a man
in this camp

with a wife or kid be able
to draw an easy breath.

Mike...

go get the rest
of the men.

They're going
after Jamie.

They've all
got g*ns.

Dan, Rufe,
all the rest of them.

They'll k*ll him
if he runs.

He's bound to run,
he's frightened.

Look, uh, Buck, he's not
a vicious kid.

I mean...

look, there's
no hostility.

He's got the mind of a child.

A child wouldn't do
a thing like that.

I mean, basically
and psychologically,

he's not capable of it.

You know a lot of things,
don't you?

Buck, listen to me...

First aid, louse up
your social security.

How to make yourself scarce
when the cops are around.

What are you
running away from anyway?

We're talking about Jamie.

Ask your wife.

She'll tell you
it wasn't the boy.

You know all about it, huh?

Buck, take my
word for it.

I know about
kids like that.

So do I.
I grew up with one.

Do you have any idea
what that means?

"No, Buck, you can't
go swimming today."

"No, you can't play ball today."

"No, you can't go to
the movies today."

"No, you can't do anything
like anybody else,

"because you gotta stay home

and take care
of your brother, Buck."

Yeah. "Oh, he's bigger
than you are.

"And he's older than you are.

"And he's twice as strong
as you are.

"But you gotta
hold him by the hand,

you gotta lead him around.
And don't you ever dare let go."

Buck...

Finally, you grow up
and you get out of it.

You think it's all past,
and you get married.

Then you find you're scared
to have kids.

You're scared
they'll be like him.

Buck, I...

I, uh... I gotta
get back to Ruth.

Ruth?

RUFE: Yeah, we're gonna
bring that kid in, Buck.

They're gonna...
They're gonna bring him in.

They're gonna k*ll him.
All they want's an excuse.

Now stay out of it.

Buck...

what if you're wrong
about Jamie?

At least wait until
your wife's able to talk.

You giving us any guarantees?
Sure.

Look, I'm not
guessing. I know.

I was trained
to know.

Buck! Hurry.

You wait.

She kind of moved
a little, twice.

Ruth?

Honey, it's gonna be
all right. I'm here. Oh.

It's gonna
be fine, honey.

Now, you're
gonna be just fine.

Ruth.
Oh.

Do you know who it was?
Was it the boy?

Tell me.

Was it Jamie?

Was it the boy?

Wha...?

I couldn't see.

I don't know.

I know.

Find him for me.

Not a sign of him, Dan.

He's not in camp, he's gotta
be up on that mountain.

Yeah. You got about
one chance in a million.

In this dark, you'd have
to be a mountain goat.

BUCK:
Dan?

Nothing,
huh?

He's got to be
up above.

Well, you'll never
spot him in the dark.

Even with
the big lights?

The arcs?

They could spot a jackrabbit
a mile or more.

Get 'em.
Right.

It's gonna take a couple
of minutes to warm up.

Right.

He's up there,
we got him.

Oh, he's up there
all right.

Jamie?

Jamie.

It's me, Paul Beaumont.

Jamie.

Jamie, I'm your friend,
remember?

I know you wouldn't
hurt Mrs. Harmon.

That's gotta
be him.

Get that light
over there.

Higher.

Now, look, Jamie,
we can't stay here.

And you can't
run.

If you run, they'll
say you did it.

And we both know
you didn't.

Look, Jamie,
come on down with me.

I won't let 'em hurt you.
That's a promise.

I wouldn't break a promise
to you, Jamie.

Ja... Jamie.

Do you
hear that?

It's the police, Jamie.

I want you to
go down and...

talk to them.

I want you to go down
and tell 'em what happened.

You going along?

Jamie, they'll listen to you.

That's their job, to listen.

Just go down
and talk to them.

For me.

Do it for me,
if we're friends?

Okay.

We got him!

Jamie, wait!

Jamie!

Don't run, Jamie!

Jamie, it's
a policeman.

Don't run, Jamie.
Don't run!

Jamie!

They, uh...

They were
after him.

They might have
k*lled him.

Who are you?

I...
He's my friend.

He's the one
that sent me over.

Over where?

To Mrs. Harmon's
trailer.

He told me I ought to
take her book back.

That's him, sergeant.
I'm glad you found him.

You've found
the boy.

That doesn't mean
you've found the one

that att*cked
your wife.

You stay out of this, Beaumont.
I'll put you in so deep...

You can
take him in.

Look. That's the book
we were looking for.

Robinson Crusoe.

He never got a chance
to give it to her.

You never
got a chance

to give her the book,
did you, Jamie?

I couldn't.

Why not?

Well, she was on the...
On the floor when I went in.

Real quiet.

And she wasn't
screaming no more.

You heard her
screaming?

Yeah. An-and I ran
to the door.

And I went in.

And this man was just
going out the back.

What man?

BUCK:
Now, don't be scared.

He won't hurt you.
I give you my word.

Come on, Jamie. Mrs. Harmon
was a good friend of yours.

Tell 'em who it was.

Come on, Jamie,
who was it?

Who did you see going out?

Come on. You gonna take
the word of a kid

that doesn't know
his left from his right?

We don't have to
take his word for it.

Look, Beaumont,
you butt in again...

Now, you shut up!

What do you mean?

It's pretty obvious
from the marks.

Whoever it was tried to
choke your wife.

She must have put up
a pretty good fight.

My hunch is she left
a few marks of her own.

Could be some scratches.
On the arms maybe.

Show 'em
your arms, Jamie.

Show me
your arms, Dan.

Well...

Oh, now Buck,
you don't...

Show me your arms.

No. I'm not gonna
show you my arms.

Show me your arms!
I'm not gonna...

You were always
after her, weren't you?

You were always...
Since Elko!

You were always after her!

Break it up.
Break it up!

Jamie, if we're gonna get
an early start now,

better get some
sleep, huh?

Now we've got to get
a statement from him.

Jamie?

Don't
count on much.

He's a little slow.

You know, Ret*rded.

And the other
one?

Beaumont.

Who's he?

My timekeeper.

Best man at the job
I ever had.

See you.
Yeah.

Honey. I was afraid, Ruth.

I mean, it had nothing
to do with you, see?

When you've grown up
with a brother like mine...

Well, I was just
afraid, that's all.

You're not anymore?

Well, he said I had
no reason to be.

He said
that in most cases,

heredity had nothing
to do with it.

He seemed to know what
he was talking about.

But he said the first thing
I ought to do...

is tell you.

Well, that's another thing
I have to thank him for.

Shouldn't I?

Well, he's gone.

He's taking Jamie home first
and then he's heading out.

Why?

I don't know. Maybe he's got
something to be afraid of too.

NARRATOR:
Most men have some secret fear.

Most men manage
to live with it.

To walk the world with others
and live a quiet, normal life.

For one man,
that is impossible.
