The Stray (2000) - full transcript

[insects buzzing]

[music playing]

[MUSIC - JOHN PHILIP SOUSA, "THE
STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER"]

DJ (RADIO): Hi,Ellie
and happy 4th of July.

I hope every one
of our listeners

is having a great
holiday weekend.

If you want to catch
some fireworks tonight,

there'll be displays at
9:00 in Malibu, Venice,

and at Dodger Stadium.

The time, 4:28 PM.

It's 86 degrees at the beaches.



And if you're headed
in that direction,

stick to the surface streets.

The 10 and the 405 are
backed up in both directions.

From the incline to the
tunnel, well that, folks,

that's a street party.

CARL (RADIO): Unit
12 keep heading

south along the boardwalk.

Unit 8, stay put.

Don't take your eyes
off that duffel bag.

I think this thing's
going to be a bust.

He's already an hour
late for the pick up.

So much for the
crime hot line.

It's like anybody with a phone
thinks you're a cop, you know?

BEN (RADIO): Read your magazine.



Dispatch says 99% of these
calls are bogus anyway.

I mean, this is
bullshit sitting here

on the birth of our nation,
watching the garbage can.

I should be home watching the
Cubs kick Philadelphia's ass.

BEN (RADIO): There's five kilos
in that can, and both of us

know that's a five-star bust.

What do we get for that,
a VCR or a microwave?

It's going to
get you a paycheck.

So keep your mouth
shut and do your job.

You know you're not the only
one making a sacrifice out here.

I'm supposed to
meet Kate tonight,

and it doesn't look like
I'm going to make it.

Heads up.

There's a car approaching.

I'll run the plates.

What do you know?

There's our 1%.

CARL (RADIO): Great.

At least he's patriotic.

Check that can.

I'll be right back.

Dispatch, this one
William seven in pursuit

of suspect on Canyon Drive.

CARL (RADIO): Ben, the
car was reported stolen.

Stay with him, but
don't spook him.

Chief James has
backup on the way.

Copy.

I need an APB on
a black sports car.

Driver wearing an
Uncle Sam mask.

Last spotted at
Canyon and Sunset.

CARL (RADIO): Stay put, Ben.

I'm on my way.

This is two Baker 12
in pursuit of suspect

wearing Uncle Sam mask.

He's now headed
west towards Venice.

This is two Baker 12.

All units.

Have lost suspect.

He's headed back north,
towards Washington.

[horn honking]

Shit!

Hey!

Hold it up, buddy.

Good luck.

Thank you.

This is wonderful, Kate.

Thank you.

Just promise me a good story.

That's his department.

I just take the pictures.

Have a good night.

Dave.

Great job, Kate.

You're probably very proud.

And I'm glad you kept
the art collection.

It was always one of my
favorite parts of Grayson's.

Well, you're one of
our favorite guests.

Ah.

KATE: I mean that.
- Thank you.

Now, listen.

As soon as she's available,
I'm going to bring Gloria

Pendleton from Andre Magazine.

Kudos for me in my Sunday
column mean nothing compared

to a great review from her.

You're gonna have
lines around the block.

I like the sound of that.

Good.

Have fun tonight.

Have a good time.

DAVE: Thanks.

Everything OK?

Great.

She's adjusted that wine
glass 10 times already.

What gives?

Ben [inaudible] if he
ever decides to show up.

Where is he?

It's already 5:00.

Who knows?

Probably working.

Even a national holiday
can't stop fearless Ben

from fighting crime.

Time for another
visit from Uncle Sam.

Good evening.

Welcome to Grayson's.

I'm Kate Grayson.

When my father first
opened Grayson's, he

pulled me aside and said,
look at how perfect this is.

For the guy who's in love,
he can have a great meal,

listen to some music, and have a
romantic evening with his girl.

And for the guy that's out of
love, he can have a great meal,

listen to some
music, and pretend

like the girl's not even there.

[laughter]

That's my father's
philosophy, not mine.

I'd like to propose a toast to
my dad, John Edward Grayson.

We miss you.

We love you.

And we'll never forget you.

Happy Fourth.

Yeah?

Carl?

It's Jane.

You're not going
to believe this,

but we've got reports
of some guy walking

around in an Uncle Sam mask.

You've got to be kidding me.

No.

He's down here at the fireworks.

It's like a fucking
Mardi Gras out here.

We're never going
to find this guy.

You wanna call it a night?

CARL: Yeah.

Get down!

Everybody get down!

[gunshots]

Shit.

It's leaking gas.

Carl, come on.

[explosion]

You OK?

Yeah.

You dropped the bag.

Here.

CHIEF: One fireworks display's
not enough for you two?

We go where the
crime is, Chief.

CHIEF: Shut up, Carl.

And what the fuck do you
think you were doing?

High speed car chase, a
gunfight on a crowded beach?

Between the news media
and the Mayor's office,

I've got one huge pile of shit
to deal with, thanks to you.

If we would've got
the guy, everybody would

be patting me on the back now.

You want a pat on the back?

Fine.

So get a massage
and your day off.

Because I'm suspending
you for a week,

until I can think
of something better.

You could be one of
our best detectives,

but your impulsive decisions
are a danger to this department.

On your time off, decide
what you want to do.

Because you can't work
with me unless you

can think smarter than you act.

Did Ben call?

Not that I know of.

Sorry.

KATE: I'll be in my office.

Hey, there you are.

Where have you been?

I was here I was standing
around in the shadows.

- So, did you hear the band?
- Yeah.

They were great.

What did they play?

BEN: I don't know.

You know what, honey?

I had a really bad night.

You know, tonight
was kind of special,

and I would've really like to
have shared it with you, Ben.

I got suspended.

You what?

It's a long story.

Is everything all right?

I'm still alive.

You know, honey, I,
I know how much it

meant to you that I was here.

OK?

And I'm saying I'm sorry,
but that's not enough.

I think you know how
I feel about you.

What am I gonna do?

Jump off a bridge?

It's late.
Let me close up.

Let's go home.

Come here.

BEN: Don't you think
it'd be a lot easier if I

had some of my own things here?

You know, we've been together
now almost what, a year.

It'd seem a lot easier if I
had some things over here.

My dad would roll
over in his grave

if he knew that you were living
here with his precious daughter

in sin.

Is that a sin?

Not even close.

[music]: Summer's gone.

and the leaves are burning red.

It's open season but
the deer escaped today.

Does this mean I'm forgiven?

No.

It just means that I love you.

BEN: I can't stand this.

KATE: What's that?

All this free time shit.

What am I supposed to do?

Sit around watching crappy talk
shows and diaper commercials?

Such torture.

Looks like Chief James found
the perfect punishment for you.

I have something to
make you feel worthy.

What's that gonna be?

You know that beehive
that you said you were

going to take down last week?

Well it's twice as big
and twice as scary.

Will you take it down for me?

Right after "Regis
and Kathie Lee".

Thank you.

I won't be too late.

I'll be home around 10:00.

OK.

TONYA (PHONE): Hello, Grayson's.

Hey.

So how'd we do last night?

TONYA (PHONE): Hello?

Hey!

Oh my god!

TONYA (PHONE): Are you OK?

[sirens]

Hey, baby.

Hi.

What happened?

You OK?

I don't know.

It's a blur.

I was talking to Tonya
on the phone and then--

I don't know.

He came out of nowhere.

You hit someone?

He's going to be OK.

A slight concussion,
a bad cut on his leg.

But no broken bones.

I have some internal
tests coming in later.

Shouldn't be any surprises.

Well, who is this guy, anyway?

What was he doing in the street?

That's sort of a mystery.

He doesn't recall the accident.

His name is Gil Draper, and
from what we can get out of him

it appears he's been
living on the streets

for quite some time.

No immediate family to help out.

Unfortunately he also
doesn't have insurance.

If he's homeless,
where is he going to go?

DOCTOR: Don't know.

Our homeless population
is too large for us

to have a welfare shelter.

There are places he can go.

But we leave that
up to the patient.

Can I see him?

What do you mean,
can you see him?

Listen, I know what
you're thinking.

I deal with these kind
of people all the time.

Most of them wish you would
have backed up the car

and finished the job.

Ben.

He's been in and out
for the past few hours.

You're welcome to stay if
you want to speak to him.

But I'd recommend
coming back tomorrow.

I'd like to stay.

DOCTOR: It could be hours.

Let's just go home
and think about it.

Come back tomorrow, if you want.

OK.

Let's go.

BEN: I've seen a lot of
homeless people, you know?

They got nothing to
lose, and no self-worth.

He was waiting for
somebody like you come

along and take advantage of.

People like me.

Yeah.

Kate, look around.

Look at this place,
this big house.

You got it from your daddy.

Cars, jewelry, money.

You just gonna let a
stranger walk in, stay here?

How long is it gonna be
before he picks up what

he wants and just disappears?

It's so sad that you
have to think like that.

Yeah,it is sad.

There's a lot of bad
people out there, honey.

And unfortunately most of
them are in Los Angeles.

He has nowhere to go, Ben.

The garage is far enough
away from the house for me

to feel safe.

It's not like we're going to
be sharing a bathroom together.

I just want to give
him a place where

he can get better, because
it's my fault that he's

in this condition anyway.

It's the least I could do.

Hey, what are you doing?

Where are you going?

I'm going to clear
a space in the garage.

Saw the dent on
your front end.

You must be furious.

I almost killed the guy.

Think I care about
some stupid bumper?

No, but I'd still
make him pay for it.

With what?

He doesn't have anything.

As a matter of fact,
he's going to be staying

at my house for a while.

In the garage.

Ugh, that's weird.

I mean, oh that is so sweet.

No, I know it's weird.

It's just that
when I was little,

and I don't know why I
keep thinking about this,

but we had this raccoon
epidemic in my neighborhood.

And they were getting
into everything.

So my dad set these traps.

And one day we heard
this animal crying.

It was caught but,
it was still alive.

Except it wasn't a raccoon.

It was a dog.

It was the cutest little stray.

And my dad knew
that I'd never get

any sleep knowing
that his traps had

killed this poor little guy.

So he rescued it,
took it to the vet,

fed it, did everything he could
do to make up for the mistake,

I guess.

That was just a dog.

So I have to help this poor guy.

So what does Ben think
about this poor guy?

Thinks I've lost my mind.

KATE: Are you OK?

God, this place is
beautiful out here.

Thank you.

Hey, you know, when
the doctor first told

me what you plan on doing, I--

At first-- I hate to say this.

I thought you were crazy.

You weren't the only one.

You know, I thought
to myself, I don't

know who this lady thinks I am.

Or what she expects out of me.

This is the first
time anybody's ever

given me a chance, without
there being some sort of catch.

There is no catch, Gil.

Thanks, Miss Grayson.

Call me Kate.

Gosh.

So as you can see, I sort
of like to save things.

I don't know if this is any
better than what you had

before, but at least it's safe.

Oh no, it's, it's perfect.

Jesus.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Oh, that's OK.

This has been broken for years.

I was gonna be a dancer
when I was little,

so my dad bought me
everything he could

find with ballerinas on it.

It's very nice.

So there's some old
clothes of my dad's

over there in those boxes.

Help yourself.

This is for you.

Miss Grayson?

Yeah?

Look, I know what it
takes to trust a stranger.

And I want you to
understand that I, I

plan on taking this
opportunity to prove my worth.

And I couldn't be more thankful.

Looks like you're
gonna have to share.

Wildlife has
seniority around here.

Get some rest.

KATE: Oh, I'm so tired.

What a long day.

Yep.

Thanks, babe.

Goodnight.

ECHO: [inaudible] Now behave.

Bit higher, higher.

That's it.

Hey, you're doing much better.

Good, now I'll ask you
to bring it to a gallop.

[hoof beats]

ECHO: Good.

Go around the green once.

Looks great!

OK, now pull back the reins.

I want you to cruise
to a full stop.

[quacking]

[buzzing]

Hi.

Morning.

So I see the bees are still
having the time of their life.

They sure are, yeah.

I'll take care of that today.

I can't believe that.

what's he doing out there?

KATE: What's it look
like he's doing?

He's painting the fence.

Well, who does he
think he is, Huck Finn?

He found some
paint in the garage.

He asked me if he could
help out, and I said yes.

You think that's
all there is to it?

I tell you what.

Let's reverse the situation, OK?

Let's say I'm driving along and
I hit a young homeless girl.

And I decide to take her home
and give her a place to stay,

because I'm a good Samaritan.

So the next morning
I wake up, and she's

painting the fence, topless.

I mean, come on.

What message is she sending out?

That it's a hot day?

Or she doesn't want to
get any paint on her shirt

that she'd been sleeping
in for last year?

I would've done the same
thing for anybody, Ben.

Anyone.

I'll see you later.

Well, you know, be
careful driving all right?

I mean, one homeless guy
around here's enough.

Oh, no.

Next time I'll aim
for a cheerleader.

All right, pal.

Let's see how you
handle a beehive.

BEN: That hive up there's
been growing for about a year.

Kate's scared to of them.

Got to cut it down.

I'd climb up there and do
it myself, but I'm allergic.

You know, they're
actually quite harmless.

They won't attack,
unless they're provoked.

But I mean if that's what Kate
wants, I'd be glad to help out.

Yeah.

You know, hang on a second.

Let's-- we'll do
that some other time.

We'll start off with
something easier.

I had to take down
a tree over there.

it was getting
ready to fall over.

It was pretty rotten.

Started from the
inside, you know.

Never finished chopping
up all this wood.

You mind if I give it a whack?

You up for it?

Let me see.

I guess maybe you'll come
in pretty handy around here.

Hey, look, I know this--

how suspicious this
whole thing must seem.

Especially, you know,
you being a cop and all.

I'm just trying to find my
way back to a decent life.

Good luck.

[laughter]

Hey, baby.

Hi.

BEN: How are you?

KATE: Good.

You know, you'll never guess
what he did for a living.

He was a general contractor.

GIL: No, it's nothing special.

A little company up in San Jose.

That's what her father did.

He was obviously
very successful.

Maybe you could introduce
him to some people.

He could get back
in the mainstream.

No, look, that's
not necessary.

I'd love to help.

All right.

You guys hungry?

Yeah.

Help yourself.

Good, good.

Dig in.

No, thanks, man.

I'm gonna, like, let
you guys be alone.

And maybe I'll, like, catch you
in the morning or something.

See you tomorrow.

- Thanks.
- All right.

Goodnight.

We're like best friends.

MAN: Do you do windows, too?

What are you doing here?

This could blow the
whole fucking plan.

I came by to see
you'd made any progress.

Things are going
along just fine.

Now get the fuck out
of here, all right?

They're due back
here any minute.

Have you fucked her yet?

Now listen to me, you fuck.

I've known this woman
my whole fucking life.

She ain't no fucking whore.

You hear me?

I need an apology.

Apologize.

I need one now.

OK.

OK, I'm sorry.

She's not a whore.

OK?

I'm sorry.

She's not a whore.

You listen to me.

I've got everything
under control.

This morning she's taking
me to the boardwalk

to run some errands, all right?

What about Ben?

Ben's a bit of a problem.

So you're gonna have
to murder [inaudible]

Now get the fuck out of here.

GIL: Hey.

Hi.

GIL: I found the paint
and the sprinkler head.

Great.

Have a seat.

There's some bagels
and juice in the bag.

You know, I don't want
to sound ungrateful,

it's just you don't have
to do all this work.

I can hire somebody to do it.

I like working.

It makes me feel
useful for a change.

Just be careful.

You need to heal.

So what did you get?

Where did you find this?

Found it in a
box in the garage.

"Fountainhead."

It's pretty dense reading.

GIL: I love reading.

You know, you don't have to
be rich to enjoy a good book.

Yeah, this was my
dad's favorite book.

I think we have, like,
12 of them in the house.

When did he pass away?

About two months ago.

GIL: I'm sorry.

Were you two close?

Yeah.

He was my best friend.

You know, you remind me of him.

He loved to work
around the house.

It's a little strange,
you wearing his clothes.

The book--

Look, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to, like, make you
feel uncomfortable or anything.

No, it's OK.

It's just good to remember him.

I'm flattered.

Thank you.

I gotta go.

I gotta get to work.

I hope Ben's not giving
you too hard a time.

No, we're fine.

Got a little project
planned for this afternoon.

Play nice.

GIL: I was checking
these out last night.

BEN: Wow.

GIL: Old trail bikes.

Think they run?

I couldn't get either
one to turn over.

Probably just a little
dirt in the carburetor.

That's an easy fix.

Pull over here.

Is this where you stay?

Just like Gracie Ranch, huh?

We get so used to the
simple luxuries in life,

like plumbing and heat.

Once you've been doing this,
you feel like more of a man.

BEN: Is that the
lesson for the day?

If you feel you
learned something.

Could be worse, Gil.

Could be sleeping
underneath the 405.

[gunshot]

Go!

Move!

They're gaining on us!

Hurry up!

Come on, Gil.

I'm trying!

[gunshot]

Turn right!

Gil!

Gil, where are you?

KATE: Ben?

You're in the hospital.

Hey, buddy.

Where's Gil?

I'm here, man.

So what happened to you?

Where did you go?

I fell off my bike.

My foot got caught under a rock.

Oh, it did, huh?

Stay calm.

You're hurt.

BEN: That's a good story,
foot got caught under a rock.

I think he planned the whole
thing, that's what I think.

Man, they were
shooting at me, too.

I mean-- I was running away.

You were lagging behind.

You get your foot caught under
a rock, and I go off a cliff.

You see what I've
been telling you?

Come on.

I'm sorry about
what he was saying.

You've gotta
understand, I mean,

we were just at the wrong
place at the wrong time.

I know.

I know.

It's just Ben.

Look, that's the
key to the house.

Go home.

Get something to eat.

Get cleaned up.

I'll be home in a few hours.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey, thanks.

I know you're in pain.

And I really don't want
you to hurt anymore.

I think you're wrong about Gil.

I mean, you should
have seen him.

He was so upset
when we got here.

Oh, he was, huh?

You know what?

I'll tell you what
he's upset about.

That I'm still breathing.

That's the only reason.

You know, when I first met
you I liked dating a cop.

I liked feeling safe.

I liked the way you
would protect me.

But now I'm seeing that you're
just insecure and jealous.

It's not about your
feelings for me.

Too bad your daddy's
not around Maybe

you'd listen to him.

So why don't you just let
me bleed in peace, OK?

OK.

[eerie music playing]

[laughter]

ECHO: I love your
new [inaudible]..

Is this the [inaudible]?

Look at this dollhouse.

Oh, I do love it.

[music playing]

[water running]

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

You look--

What's wrong?

No, there's nothing wrong.

It's just that you
look different.

I mean, in a good way.

So, how's Ben?

He's better.

He should be going
home tomorrow.

Home as in here?

No, his house.

I'm sorry about
what he was saying.

He can be a little
possessive sometimes.

Yes, and angry, too.

Yeah.

Again, I'm sorry.

You eat?

Yeah.

Is that OK?

Sure.

Look, it's been a
tough day, and--

would you mind?

You want-- you want me to go.

I wasn't, I wasn't getting the--

I'll go upstairs
and get my stuff.

I'll get out of here.

[buzzing]

[eerie music playing]

Hey, Ben.

Hey.

Hey, Carl.

CARL: Hey, Ben.

I got a sketch artist
coming in today.

Help you identify
your redneck friends.

OK.

Listen, you think you could do
a little investigating for me,

you know, on the side?

If you've got some extra time?

Sure.

See what you can
find out about this Gil

Draper character.

I haven't been able
to find nothing.

I can't do this at home.

You got it.

[music playing]

MUSIC: She's a mess.

She's a mess.

She's a mess.

Crazy.

Well, well.

Hobo Joe turns himself
into Cary Grant.

I'm afraid you missed Kate.

She just left for Grayson's.

BEN: Yeah.

Actually I came here
to see you, buddy.

You can use my cane if
your crutch is bothering you.

I'm not needing mine anymore.

Oh, the pain in
my leg is all right.

Pain in my ass I can't
seem to get rid of.

Sorry to hear that.

You got a pretty charming
way of getting everybody

to do exactly what
you want them to do,

but you're not fooling me.

You know, all this nice
guy, homeless boy stuff.

I guess you can hang
around and paint the fence,

and run your scam on everybody.

But sooner or later I'm gonna
gets something on you, Jethro.

And when I do, you'll be
glad you kept that cane.

Look at yourself.

You gonna hobble me to death?

With that crutch of yours?

Let me tell you a few
things about my relationship

with Kate.

Because right now she
trusts me a whole lot more

than she trusts you.

I never hurt her like you have.

Never argued with her, never
teased her, insulted her.

So, if I want those soft,
luscious legs to spread wide

open so I can ride her, like
you wish your limp dick could,

all I gotta do is make
one romantic move her way.

She'll be on her knees.

Ben!

Stop it!

What do you doing?

Tell her what you said.

Come on, go ahead, fuck.

Tell her.

I said you deserve
a better man.

Ben!

Get out.

And as for you,
you better go, too.

Kate, it's him.

He's the one hurting you.

I don't care.
I'm sick of the fighting.

I want it gone now.

Hear what she said?

Get the hell out of here.

You too, Ben.

You forgot your crutch.

Kate, his car was totaled.

I think you should be a
little bit more understanding.

I'm all out of
sympathy, Tonya.

Fire him.

He's a dishwasher,
not a brain surgeon.

I'm sure he'll find another job.

What now?

GIL (VOICEOVER):
Miss Grayson, thanks

for turning my life around.

And forgive me for any
harm I may have caused you.

[music playing]

Wait here.

I'll be back in a minute.

No.

I'm coming with you.

Look, I'm doing Ben a favor.

We're not supposed to be here.

A little help wouldn't hurt.

Your choice.

Let's go.

Remember we were never here.

[ominous music playing]

CARL: Ben was right.

Look at this.

Oh, god.

Ugh.

This is definitely
no coincidence.

Call it in.

Oh shit.

[gunshots]

Stay here!

Oh god!

Please help me.

I-- No!

Argh!

[scream]

[grunting]

GIL: Brothers and I don't
take kindly to trespassers.

I'm very disappointed in Ben.

Be nice if you came
visit in person.

Instead of selling us
these sacrificial lambs.

CARL: Aaugh!

[muffled screaming]

You guys clean
this stuff up here.

Get that car out of here.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

I don't want to be late
for my job interview.

Quick question.

Um, the new guy
wants an advance.

What new guy?

New dishwasher.

KATE: A cash advance?

Want to meet him?

He's cute.

OK, but five minutes only.

OK.

Thank you.

The employment office sent
me on some interviews.

Just a few places.

They just were all
asking what I was

doing for the last five years.

And picking through garbage
didn't make a great impression.

Well, it fits the
dishwasher prerequisites.

I didn't mention your name.

They just hired me on the spot.

Look, if this is weird
I can just take off.

No.

I understand.

So what about the advance?

I mean, I can't really hold
a job living on the street.

You know, I was
thinking maybe I could

get a hotel for a couple weeks?

Save up a few paychecks?

I can maybe do some
work around here.

I can fix almost anything.

KATE: Yeah, I noticed.

Thank you for that.

Look, if you want to stay at
the house for a few weeks--

Are you sure?

TONYA: Gil?

I have some things
for you to sign

So, sorry.

If I give you a cash
advance, I'm gonna

have to give everyone one.

I'll just have to get by then.

Somehow.

[piano music]

KATE: See you tomorrow, guys.

Night

Night.

Goodnight.

Mozart.

My father used to play that
for my mom, on that piano.

Really.

Do you like it?

Soft keys.

This restaurant so
much a part of my dad.

I couldn't imagine
changing a thing.

[door opens]

Hey, Kate.

Can I come in?

I want to talk about our
relationship, if there is one.

We've been together
for almost a year.

I'm kind of in the dark
over here, you know.

Are we just going to go
our separate ways now?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Does that mean you
haven't decided yet?

Or that you're
seeing somebody else?

I just don't have
an answer for you.

What is going on with you two?

Can you tell me that?

I'm not the tramp
you think I am, Ben.

OK.

[door opens]

[door closes]

KATE: Gil.

Gil?

[laughing]

That's funny?

You scared me.

What's all this?

It's something for you.

Are we celebrating something?

Peace.

Good.

Because, I need a little
of that my life right now.

You've brought so
much peace into my life

since we've been together.

I want to provide
the same for you.

So there's nothing between
our love for each other.

I know you feel the same.

[ominous music]

Are you crazy?

What are you doing?

Get the fuck away from her.

The only reason that
things got to this level

is not because of me.

It's because of him.

I'm going to blow a big
fucking hole in his head.

My partner's missing and
I bet this piece of shit

had something to do with it.

Now you look me right
in the eyes and tell me

you're not sleeping with
him, or I swear to God--

I am not sleeping with him.

Now give me the gun.

Give me the gun.

It's your lucky day.

You're gonna need that.

What kind of freak
are you anyway?

Our sex life's none
of your business.

How dare you!

Our sex life?

What is it between you two?

What, are you two
out to win a trophy?

Am I the goddamned
fucking prize?

Look, Kate--

No I want you out
of my house right now.

Get out!

Get out.

[creak]

[suspenseful music]

[ominous music]

Oh god.

You sick bastard.

She's here.

Who?

Oh, you're kidding.

That's today?

Here she is.

Kate Grayson, Gloria Pendleton.
- Good afternoon.

Pleasure to meet you.

Dave.

Follow me.

I'll have Keith bring you
the lunch and dinner menus.

So feel free to order
off of either one.

Thank you, Kate.

Place looks stunning.

Wouldn't you say, Gloria?

It's exquisite.

Enjoy your meals.

[dishes breaking]

Those things happen.

[screaming]

You get off of her!

You fired me.

First you kick me
out of my house.

Now you take away my job.

I saw what you
did at the ranch.

So from now on, you stay
away from me, the ranch,

the restaurant, everything.

Your pretty restaurant.

Rich fucks!

[gasps]

Let's clean house!

Gil, the police are going
to be here any second.

GIL: Oh, and you call the cops.

That's great.

You rich fucks.

You feed on fear like a
bunch of goddamn animals.

One day you're gonna
[inaudible] their cock suck

and they can lie, steal,
and cheat better than you.

Freeze!

[screaming]

[gasps]

OFFICER: Hold it, buddy.

You started this, not me.

[crash]

[screaming]

[suspenseful music]

Hey!

OFFICER: Out of the way.

Police!

[scream]

OFFICER: Out of the way!

[screams]

[tires squealing]

OFFICER: Police!

Out of the way!

Suspect's on a motorcycle,
heading east towards Wallace.

[sirens]

KATE: Well, he told me
that he was from San Jose.

And that he was a contractor.

He was pretty quiet.

That's everything
I know about him.

He doesn't have copies
of any house keys, does he?

Not that I know of.

And you say you change
your security codes already?

Yeah, last night.

They lost him, didn't they?

Look, Kate, we'll
keep you informed

as to what we find out.

I suggest you stay at
Ben's house for a change.

Get a good night's rest.

Ben's house.

Or at a friend's house.

Call if you need us.

Thanks.

Come on, Keith.

Kate, we decided since he
doesn't have a clue where I

live, you're moving in with me.

I'm not gonna
run from this guy.

It's not worth it.

You saw what he
did today, Kate.

He's a psycho.

Who's to tell what
he'll do next?

For all you know, he's probably
waiting for you outside.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to scare the shit
out of her, if you don't mind.

That's the only way that she's
gonna listen and be prepared.

That fucker's lucky that I
didn't have these with me

in the kitchen.

I carry my pepper
spray and my mace.

Mace is for special occasions.

I'm grateful, honest.

It's just if I let him control
the situation, then I've lost.

Then I think we
should move in with you.

What?

I don't think you should
be alone in that huge place

with no one around.

It's like the perfect set-up
for some Stephen King movie.

If that's what you guys want
to do, I'd be fine with that.

OK.

Then we're there.

They printed the story.

Looks like Tait gave
you break and didn't

print anything about yesterday.

This is all about opening.

Something tells me Mrs.
Pendleton won't be so kind.

She had a front row seat
for Gil's eloquent speech.

Come on, Tonya.

We've gotta get going.

I'll meet you guys down there.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hey, Kate.

It's me.

Don't hang up.

You see today's paper?

There's a story in
here about Grayson's.

Yeah.

I have it right here.

BEN (PHONE): Look
in the photograph,

over your right shoulder.

In the back.

It's him.

[ominous music]

Who's this?

He was there from the get-go.

Private property, boys.

You'll have to turn around.

[gunshot]

Kate!

BEN (PHONE): Hello?

Kate?

Ben, he's here.

[gunshot]

Hello?

[tires squealing]

BEN: I've got a 911 situation.

87 24 California.

[car horn]

Let's go in.

Scare the girls.

KATE: Ben's gun
is in the kitchen.

Oh!

[gunshot]

[car horn]

[tires squealing]

KATE: Fuck.

[gunshots]

Goddamn, woman.

[laughter]

What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

[gunshot]

No.

GIL: You don't
recognize your old pal?

Jesse.

Jesse Adkins?

There goes my cover.

My brothers and I were supposed
to give up rich kids, too.

But our father got screwed
over by his business partner.

The money went to the
great John Grayson empire.

That's you.

[screaming]
- You got papers.

You hear me?

Yeah, let me
see you wipe them.

Wipe them tears off there.

Oh yeah.

Least you could do
is repay me all that.

OK.

Get off of me!

You OK?

Where's Kate?

She's upstairs.
[gunshot]

Oh!

Hey, Kate, darling.

How is this door
gonna be any more

effective than the last door?

Kate!

Ben!

Kate!

Call her in here.

GIL: Call her.

Go fuck yourself.

GIL: Call her now!

Hey, sweetheart.

Don't hurt him, Gil.

He's not responsible
for your problems.

I am.
- Kate, run.

Run away.

You do that, and your
wall's gonna be covered

in your ex-boyfriends brains.

What is it you want, Gil?

Money?

You want a written apology?

I want my life back.

We were headed down
the right path.

And you fucking blew it.

Well maybe we can
work something out.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

I've got a gun at Ben's head.

We've gone way beyond
forgive and forget.

[clock playing]

Shut it off.

Shut if off!

Come on.

Come on!

[screaming]

You're coming with me, baby.
Come on!

Come on!

[buzzing]

[screaming]

I was wrong about him.

Use a bigger asshole
than I imagined.

I'm sorry, Ben.

[music playing]
