06x14 - Vanished: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Yeah, well, tell him I called.

Thanks.

It's always the same.

You can never get a hold of
a broker when you need one.

Yeah, I know.

Come on, I got all
this revenue flowing in

From "blood on the badge."

If I don't put it
someplace fast,

I mean, inflation's just gonna
whittle it down to nothing.

I'm sorry.

I could buy some, you know,

Some more gold coins,

Austrian kroners,
canadian gold leaf,

But, man, I just don't know.

I mean, I'm really ingots.

I liked you better
when you were poor.

Nah.

Oh, sir, I was just taking a
brief respite from the files.

Fine.

I'm having zatelli
come up and help,

So we'll hopefully have the
entire reorganization done

- By tomorrow.
- Good.

Oh, here you go.

I was working.

I'm sure you were, levitt.

Always the way, isn't it?

You're at your desk all
morning, doing your job.

The one minute you take to
goof off, and the boss walks in.

There's nothing wrong with
taking a break once in a while.

It's just I can't help feeling

I'm up here on sort
of consignment.

One mistake, and I'm
shipped back downstairs.

Levitt, as long as you
get your work done,

That is all that concerns me.

Yes, sir.

All right. Just relax.
Have a cup of coffee.

Then go back and
finish your work.

Thank you, sir.

You're not really gonna
drink that, are you?

You get much too
excited. Don't worry.

We'll have this
whole nasty business

Straightened out in a jiffy.

I hope so.

Sergeant harris? Yoo-hoo.

Marty.

What an unexpected pleasure.

Oh, go on. They're
the best kind.

Oh, you know my
friend darryl driscoll?

Sure. Mr. Driscoll.

Hello, sergeant.

Is captain miller available?

I'll see if I can,
um, scare him up.

Thank you.

Don't worry. It'll be just fine.

Hello, sergeant wojciehowicz.

Yeah. Hi. How you doing?

You're looking good.

Um... Thanks.

You, uh, you look good yourself.

Can I get in on this?

Excuse me.

Ah, driscoll, marty.
Been a long time.

Oh, too long.

My, you've certainly done some
lovely things with this room.

Could we stop perpetuating
the stereotype for a moment

And get on with this?

He's been under such a strain.

Okay.

Barn, call from
dispatch. We got a jumper.

I'll break his fall.

Some guy's on top of
the washington arch.

The washington arch?
Um... All right, harris.

Hey, captain, this
is quite urgent.

We can talk in my office.

Come on, harris... You and me.

Oh, just a second.

Barn?

Barney, I'm expecting this
really important phone call.

Could dietrich maybe...

Harris, there's a
jumper out there.

Oh! Sure.

That's all I need is a jumper.

Maybe it's your broker.

As you can see,

It grants me visitation
rights every other weekend

Plus a full month with
jason every summer.

Second paragraph.

Thank you, marty.

Appears to be in order.

Well, I wish someone would
tell that to my ex-wife.

I take it she's not
in compliance?

She won't even let
me talk to jason,

Much less have a day with him.

Who d*ed and made her queen?

I was able to see him on a
regular basis until recently.

Then suddenly
she just cut me off.

I'm still unclear what it
is exactly you want of me.

Well, jason starts his
winter vacation tomorrow.

He goes to wykoff academy
over on lafayette street.

Are you familiar with it?

I'm afraid not.

You know it. They all
wear those cute blazers.

Well, I'm supposed to
get him for the two weeks.

Now eleanor says
he has to go with her

To visit his grandparents.

She's taking him to detroit.

I mean, talk about child abuse.

I want that enforced before
she packs him off to motown.

I'm afraid this is not
really in our jurisdiction.

Custodial disputes are a
matter for family court.

Well, this is a fine
how-do-you-do.

Try to understand.
Jason is my only son.

Mr. Driscoll, I'm...

Captain, my chances of having
another are incredibly slim.

Nil, in fact.

Yeah?

To answer your question,
we're gonna be reorganizing

And updating both the
detective and precinct files,

Weeding out obsolete
and duplicate records,

Cross-referencing
by crime and criminal,

Interfacing and coding
all pertinent information.

I was thinking of doing that.

Any questions?

You putting on weight?

Here!

So I go back to court,

Get another order,
she ignores it,

I go back to court again?

I'm afraid that's the system.

Morning, captain.

Zatelli.

Oh, hi, there.

Hey, how you doing?

You work here?

Yeah, that's right.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Captain, thank
you for your help.

Look, I'm sure
you'll be able to...

Martin, we're going.

Inside, space cadet.

Sergeant, I had no intention
of jumping, you know.

Yeah, I know.

The only reason I was up there

Was that my
coordinates were off.

That's not such a bad outfit.

Marty.

Certainly nothing
to k*ll yourself over.

Is this our jumper?

Not getting off that easy.

This is adam boyer.
This is captain miller.

- Hello.
- Mr. Boyer.

He was just sitting on top
of the washington arch.

Well, I hadn't planned
on materializing

At that particular location.

Materializing?

Better tell him
where you're from.

Denver.

Um... What year?

Yeah, that's a.d.

How are the broncos doing?

They moved, huh?

He's a time traveler.

Well, that's just
part of my job.

I'm a cultural historian
at columbia university.

I specialize in
the latter s.

I just came back to
gather some additional data

On the prevailing
social attitudes, mores...

You know, this type of thing.

You realize we don't
believe a word you're saying.

Of course. That's
why I can tell you.

Mr. Boyer, we're gonna need

Some, uh, additional
data on you.

Fine, fine.

I have some questions for
you, too, if you don't mind.

Harris?

Could you take a
statement from mr. Boyer?

Oh, sure, barney.

Mr. Boyer,

Take a seat right
over here, please.

Groovy.

Oh, did that come back?

Actually, if you think about it,

None of us know the future,

So we can't say for sure

That some day, somehow,

The technology of time
travel might not be developed,

And then someone like mr. Boyer

Could be able to
travel back into our time.

That's true.

You know, there's just
no talking to you anymore.

You know, this is all
very fascinating to me.

Tell me, this...

Is this real wood?

What's your date of birth?

October , .

The postwar baby boom.

Yeah.

The mail, sir.

Thank you, zatelli.

You're welcome.
Anything else, sir?

Not from me.

Hey, you know that
guy this morning?

I just seen him around.

You probably know
him better than I do.

Zatelli, don't you
think it would be wiser

If it came from you voluntarily

Instead of as a result

Of some stupid chance
meeting like this morning?

This morning? That was a fluke.

You can't keep
it up indefinitely.

Why not? Nobody here knows.

I do.

Hey, I trust you.

Zatelli, that's very flattering,

But I can't guarantee
that one of these days

In casual conversation,

Unwittingly, I
may say something.

Like what?

Like "zatelli's gay."

That'll do it, sir.

You can use the phone here
if you want to call a lawyer.

Lawyer?

Oh, I'd forgotten.
You still have them.

Hmm?

They were outlawed in ' .

No kidding?

Yes, yes.

All legal matters are
handled by realtors.

Th precinct. Sergeant harris.

Oh, yeah. Hey, man, look.

I've been trying to get
in touch with you all day.

No. Unh-unh. Look.
Forget about blue chips.

I've decided to go
heavy into gold.

Hmm...

Uh, yeah, I'm leaning
toward bullion.

You know, no coinage fees.

Hey, look, I'll get back
to you in a minute, okay?

Something I should know?

Well, medicine hat in canada,

They struck gold in
' , I think it was, yeah.

Tons of it came out.

Price plummeted back
down to $ an ounce.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho!

For a second, I almost
forgot you're crazy!

Okay.

Yeah.

How you doing?

Hey.

We just got a call from
the wykoff academy.

Yeah?

That guy, mr. Driscoll.

Yes?

He tried to snatch his
son from the playground.

Oh, lovely.

What's he doing with a kid?

I'm not criticizing, barn.

I'm just surprised.

He's a fruit.

I'll take dietrich.

Yeah. Fine.

See? No problem.

And so, ron, you see,

With the price of gold
virtually worthless,

The world economy
simply collapsed.

That's nice.

It wasn't until '

That gold is replaced
as the world's standard

By another commodity.

Which was?

Zinc.

Zinc?

Get in there.

Zinc!

Yes, harris?

Barney, we have a seriously
deranged person out there.

I hope you're
referring to mr. Boyer.

Oh, barn, the man
talks gibberish.

Run a check on him?

I tried.

And?

Well, no record of him.

Name didn't check out.
Prints don't check out.

He probably phonied up the i.d.

Must have.

Anyway, I've put in
a call to bellevue.

Bellevue?

Yeah, something the matter?

No, no, no, no.

I never heard you
refer to it that way.

Usually you use a
more colorful term,

Like "the enchanted kingdom,"

"Fantasy island."

Have you ever heard
of medicine hat?

Medicine hat?

I don't get it.

Just get inside, marty.

I know the way.

I have a right to
see my son, sergeant.

Who's arguing with you?

You gentlemen look familiar.

Déjà vu.

They walked in,

Snatched him off
the basketball court.

The gym teacher stopped them.

She didn't have to be so rough.

That was a stupid thing to do.

Captain, since no one
here would lift a finger

To get my son, what
other option did I have?

Well...

Now, why didn't I think of that?

I called mrs. Driscoll at work.

She's coming down
to press charges.

Do we have to
drag her into this?

All right. We're gonna
have to book you.

Fine.

Marty, I believe you
know the procedure.

They never let you
forget, do they?

You're the same one who
booked me that last time,

- Right, sergeant?
- Mm-hmm.

I enjoyed it very much.

Was it good for you?

Well, look,

I was thinking of holding
off on gold for the time being.

No. No stocks.

No. No treasury bonds, either.

Um... I was thinking of zinc.

Yeah, zinc.

What's it going for these days?

/ Cents... A pound?

Uh... Yeah, well, look,

I might be willing to, you know,
spring for a couple of tons.

What the hell were you doing?

You have pulled
some stupid stunts,

But I don't believe this one.

Hello, eleanor.

I am looking for captain miller.

You're mrs. Driscoll?

I still go by that.

Okay, just relax, all
right? I'll go get him.

Hi, there.

I've... I've heard
a lot about you.

That is the best you could do?

Well, I was hoping
we could be friends.

Mrs. Driscoll,
I'm captain miller.

Could we get on with this?

Certainly.

If you sign a complaint,
mr. Driscoll and mr. Morrison

Will be charged with
custodial interference,

Possibly attempted kidnapping.

Fine.

Fine.

Sergeant harris would be happy
to help you, right, sergeant?

Okay.

Mrs. Driscoll, would you
have a seat over here, please?

This is it for the stuff.

Not so fast, zatelli.

What's the matter?

File these.

I thought you were
supposed to do that.

Just do it.

And, uh, date of birth?

May , .

How old is your kid?

Is that necessary
for the report?

No. I was just curious.

/ .

I emphasize the /
at jason's insistence.

All right.

Would you like to
see his photograph?

Sure.

Hey, he's a little leaguer.

He plays on our team
sponsored by the antique guild.

Uh... I know this is
none of my business.

Yes?

You had a wife and a kid...
You know, a nice family.

It just seems like
so much to give up

For something that might
just turn out to be a... A fad.

We're not talking about
the hula-hoop, sergeant.

Maybe you just didn't give

Heterosexuality a fair shake.

I mean, if you'd just hung
in there a little longer,

Applied yourself, you
might have got the hang of it.

Look, I had the hang of it.

The point is, I was just
going through the motions.

Well, I do that... Sometimes.

Okay, mrs. Driscoll, if you'll
look this over and sign it,

Then I can get back
to other things.

Be sure it's all there.

Look, darryl...

I will consider not signing this

If you will agree to
stay away from jason.

Then you'd better sign it.

Here we go.

Can't you be
reasonable about this?

I mean, have jason's
interests at heart.

He deserves a father!

I deserved a husband.

We can't have
everything, can we?

That's it. Let it out.

Hey, come on, folks.

Problems?

Not me.

Mrs. Driscoll, have you,
uh, signed the complaint?

Look, captain, I am not
out to put him in jail.

I just want him to be
kept away from jason.

You can understand that.

Not entirely, no.

Well, I can't have
him off frolicking

Every other weekend with my son.

I don't frolic.

The issue at hand,
mrs. Driscoll,

Is not visitation rights.

That's been set by the court.

Captain, jason is at a
very impressionable age.

I don't want him exposed to a...

A degrading and, well,
an unnatural lifestyle.

You haven't even been over!

Look, you are a policeman.

You deal with these,
uh, people all the time.

I mean, you know how they are.

The things that they do, right?

I'm gay.

Excuse the interruption.

Uh [clears throat]
may I say something?

Sure. Why not?

Well, if it's of
any help to you,

I can tell you that this whole
issue of sexual preference

Was resolved in
the years to come.

What with the overpopulation
and dwindling resources,

h*m* was accepted

And even encouraged
as a mode of behavior.

And when did you
say this starts?

Hey, back off.

Mrs. Driscoll,

You're gonna have to make
your mind up on this thing.

Well, if he could
just change his ways.

Eleanor, please.

I'm not talking
about your being gay.

I'm talking about
what you do with jason.

I don't understand that.

Oh, taking him to the ballet
and to broadway shows

And the best
restaurants in town.

Now, what's the
matter with that?

You're making me look bad!

I just want him to
have a good time.

Oh, right. Easy.

And then he gets to come
home, and I get to be the heavy.

"Do your homework! Go to bed!

No, we can't afford truffles."

He is quite the little
gourmet, isn't he?

Look, I didn't know
this was a problem.

Do me a favor.

Just say no to
him once in a while.

Bore him a little.

Don't be so damn
entertaining all the time.

Well, that won't
be easy, but I'll try.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

Well?

Let's drop the charges.

Thank you, mrs. Driscoll.

Mr. Driscoll, mr. Morrison,
you're free to go.

Call me next week, and
we'll make arrangements.

I'll do that.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Goodbye, mr. Morrison.

Let's do it again soon.

Sure.

Go be gracious.

Sergeant wojciehowicz,

Thank you for your
courtesy and your advice.

Think about it.

Goodbye, sergeant.

Let's go, marty.

So long, everyone.

Oh, that took guts.

I'm finished.

Swell.

Anything else you need?

Oh, no, no. That should
about do it, zatelli.

Hey, don't take it so
hard. I can still file.

Come on, mr. Boyer, we're going.

Bellevue, right?

Afraid so.

Well, that's no problem.

My colleagues are about
to beam me back anyway.

Well, that's convenient.

You'll just have to
sign for your things.

Oh, sure.

Well, it's been a
pleasure meeting you all.

It's a shame to think
that you're all dead now.

Imagine how we feel.

Look, you want to sign
right here, mr. Boyer?

Sure.

Okay. Let's go.

"Dietrich, a."?

"Dietrich, a."?

Arthur dietrich?

For the time being.

Of course.

Oh! To think that
i... Oh, my god.

Could i... Could I
shake your hand?

Sure. It's no big thing.

What an honor this is, sir.

You're all very privileged.

Come on, mr. Spock.
You want to move it?

Sure.

Hey, I couldn't have
done it without youse.
