The Odyssey (1992–1994): Season 3, Episode 2 - Dart to the Heart - full transcript
(suspenseful music)
- The doctor said I was in a coma.
Maybe I was, but there is a
world beyond consciousness
that they knew nothing about.
(suspenseful music)
But when I came back
nothing was quite the same.
And I couldn't leave
that other world behind.
My odyssey continues.
(Jay tossing ball)
(water dripping)
- It's been three days
and Jay's still here.
- How do know?
- We both know there's no way out.
- You can't be sure I mean,
kids are disappearing.
Where are they going?
- I don't know.
But Jay's still here. I've
had him under surveillance.
Now I'm gonna finish him off.
- Oh, tell me more.
I love it when you talk sneaky.
- I've forged a message to Jay
from his beefy buddy Flash.
It's being delivered as we speak.
- And what does the oath boy want?
- What else?
To do lunch.
Only, Jay won't make it.
He'll never get lunch in this town again.
- An ambush. When?
- Now.
Jay's time's up.
- Well, see you next week.
Maybe you'll have something
you feel like talking
to me about.
- Like what?
- Anything. Anything you want.
- Thank you.
(suspense music)
- Meet Jay's assassin. You remember Baz?
- Yes. The child from the circus.
What can she do?
- Anything I ask her.
Take them down.
- One at a time or all at once?
- Impress me.
(monitors groaning)
(Finger clapping hands)
- Hi, come on in.
- Hold up. Can I ask you something?
- Good. You must save
it for next week then.
- But.
(soft music)
- Hi, Jay.
- Hi
- She actually speaks to you.
- How did she know my name?
- Come on.
(door squeaking)
- Hi.
- I've gotta talk to you about something.
- Well, I guess this is
what they call progress.
- It's about that girl.
- Okay. Please sit down.
- Now,
what girl?
- The one that had her
appointment after me last week.
- Oh yes, that girl. Yes.
What about her?
- That's what I wanna know. Who is she?
- Well she's a patient of mine and I,
I can't tell you anything about her.
- Wait a minute. You said we
could talk about anything.
- Yes. Anything about you.
- But this is about me.
How did she know my name?
- Nikki Rikowski, get real.
We're talking serial boyfriends here.
Last week alone she went
out with three boyfriends
in three days.
(students chattering)
- Jay, hi.
- Hi.
What are you doing in Kevin's locker?
- We traded, so I could be close
to my honors English class.
- How do you know me?
- What's the big deal,
you got something to hide?
- The answer is obvious.
It's just a matter of
asking the right question.
- The only question is
how do I get out of here?
My three days are up.
- It's not like playing
a scratching wind game.
Big problems need time to solve.
- You're right. And I can't stop looking
just 'cause Finger's gonna come after me.
(knock on door)
- Jay, put that down.
- Password.
- Swordfish.
- What's your business?
- I have a message from Flash.
(suspense music)
- Come in.
(door opening)
- It's urgent.
- "Meet me at the diner.
I have a way out."
How do we know what's from Flash?
- He spelt meet, M-E-A-T.
- When?
- ASAP. I've been instructed
to going to escort you back.
I know a safe route but we'll
have to wait till tomorrow.
- Show me.
(suspense music)
- This is the route that Jay will take
back to Flash's hang out.
- Well, what about Flash?
The loyal lad can show up
when you least expect it.
But, of course you have a plan B.
- Of course my sweet.
One can never be too careful
when planning an assassination.
Baz!
It's time.
- Oh, a cross bow.
(Baz fires dart)
- Silent, but deadly.
- There's no mystery. You
both go to the same school.
- So do thousands of other
kids, but everybody knows me.
I'm famous.
- Or maybe she just likes you.
- I'm the kid that came back
from the dead, coma boy.
A medical marvel, a freak.
- Well then maybe you need to
tell her who you really are.
- She acts like she already knows me.
- But may, maybe you've already met.
(suspense music)
(suspense music continues)
Jay?
Jay?
What just happened there?
- Nothing.
- You figured out where you know her from?
- I don't know. I just can't tell you.
- Well then, tell me what you can.
Tell me what you want.
- How come you don't
know what I'm thinking?
Isn't that your job?
You're the head shrinker.
- Okay but I'm not a mind reader
and I'm not the enemy here.
(suspense music)
- If I told you, I'd be
back in the hospital.
Only this time, a loony bin
and they throw away the key.
- Is that what you afraid of?
- Wouldn't you be?
- Look, how do you account for
all the progress you've made?
- They said I've got major brain damage.
- You think brain damage
explains the way you feeling?
(suspense music)
Oh, Jay, you gotta give yourself a break.
You met a girl. You like each other.
Is that bad?
- I don't know.
(ducks quacking)
- Why are you stopping?
- It'll be dark soon.
- Dark?
It's still at least a half days travel,
we should keep going.
- It's too dangerous.
We'll have to stop here.
- I had an accident.
I fell out of a tree
fort and banged my head.
I was in a coma for two years.
- That's not why you're seeing a shrink.
- How do you know?
- It's either your mother or your father.
- Who told you?
- Come on admit it. He's
never been there for you.
- You don't even know my father.
- Kids and parents, it's
like two different worlds.
- What do you mean?
- It's no mystery.
You feel abandoned and
nobody believes you.
(suspense music)
(Baz firing dart)
(suspense music continues)
- Who told you about my father?
How I feel?
- Jay, what's your problem?
- Didn't he tell you that too?
He said he wouldn't, but
he told you everything.
(somber music)
(door opening)
- You told her everything, didn't you?
Everything.
- Look will you excuse us a moment please.
All right Jay, I understand okay.
- She knows about my dad.
How could you tell her?
- All right. Just sit down please.
All right, okay.
Now, tell who?
- Nikki, what else did you tell, huh?
- What am I a fortune teller?
How could I tell her
something I don't know?
You haven't told me
anything about your father.
- She knows that I come here
because my dad abandoned me.
- I see. So, that's why you come here?
- Yes.
No!
Now you must really think I'm crazy.
- No, no. I don't.
Look Jay, if I asked 20 kids
if they're having troubles
with their father, 25 will say yes.
- Wait a minute. You just said 20 kids.
- They have friends and
their friends have problems
with their fathers too. And their mothers.
You see what I'm saying?
- No.
- It's not exactly a secret.
Kids have problems with their parents.
- Mine are different.
- All right.
Listen, I think that this is
a very good starting place
for next week's
appointment. So, be on time.
And not two days early, okay.
(door closes)
- You, you, you had him in your sight.
- I can't explain it commander.
Someone must have tampered with it.
- Oh and who might that have been?
- [Baz] I wouldn't know, mam.
(Medea fires dart)
- Seems fine to me.
- Fortunately, there's
still time for plan B.
Ambush Jay at the diner.
- Wasn't that supposed to be plan A?
- Well, by switching plan A with plan B,
I hope to create an air of confusion.
- Ah,
(Medea laughing)
you're so clever.
But if our assassin happens
to miss her mark again,
then have a third plan.
- Plan C?
- Oh no,
I couldn't keep a step ahead
of you darling even if I tried.
You, come here.
Fortune cookies, I baked them myself.
- There's no fortune.
- Well, you have to read
between the lines, eat it.
(Medea and Finger laughing)
- There's nothing like home cooking.
Now move.
And, as an escort, take along my three-
(Medea clears throat)
- Two.
- My two bravest monitors.
- Yes sir. This time the boy is mine.
- [Coach] Go, go, go, go, go.
- Jay.
- I guess I sort of freaked out yesterday.
- Was it something I said?
- It was just that you
knew so much about me.
- It's 'cause I like you.
I'm sorry if I upset you.
- I know.
Sy said you probably just recognize
something we had in common.
- Like what?
- Sy says, if you ask 20 kids,
if their having problems with their father
- 25 will yes and don't even
get him started on mothers.
Did he say anything else?
- He told me that if I ever
barged in on him again,
I get to see a whole other
side of his personality.
- You did that?
- Yeah.
I really wanted to call you
last night and apologize,
but I didn't have your number.
- Now you do.
- Thanks.
- Jay, I think people who like each other
just automatically know
stuff about each other.
More than just parent trouble.
- I know something.
- What?
- We're gonna be late for homeroom.
(bell ringing)
- You're right.
- [Both] Meet me here after school.
- Yeah.
(suspense music)
(upbeat music)
- Uh, we're not open yet.
- Look me in the eye and see
if I care. Where's Flash?
- Flash comes and goes,
but I'm not expecting
to see him at all today.
What's it to you?
- Say hello to your new waitress.
- I don't need any new waitress.
- Look me in the eye and see if I care.
- They're in position.
- So, this is it?
- Mh-hmm.
Not having second thoughts are you?
- No.
Of course not.
- Dearest, you're chocking me.
- Oh.
(Finger clears throat)
Sorry, darling.
(suspense music)
- This time he won't get away.
(dramatic music)
(food sizzling)
- Now what?
- Now add the red powder
on top of the counter.
- How much of it?
- The whole thing.
- All of it?
- You can never have too
much of a good thing.
(dramatic music continues)
- Jay, what are you doing over there?
(upbeat music)
- Baz, what are you doing here?
- After the (indistinct)
trashed the circus
I was out of a job. Everyone's gotta eat.
What do you have?
- Where's Lila?
- I'm covering for her today.
Can I show you to your table?
- Sure.
Where's Flash?
- He said he'd be late and
to start eating without him.
- Flash said to start eating without him?
- Those were his words.
- It's okay. I'll wait.
- While you're waiting,
try the complimentary fortune
cookies. They're delicious.
They'll change your life.
- Thanks.
- I'll be right back to take your order
as soon as I feed those
two lunks from the tower.
(suspense music)
- Come here, sit with me.
(food sizzling)
- [Baz] Enjoy.
- We didn't order that.
- It's the gunk du jour, eat it.
What's the matter?
Don't you wanna know your fortune?
- It's hard to decide which one.
Any one of them will do the trick.
(monitors screaming)
- Aren't you gonna eat it?
- Everyone knows you're supposed to read
the fortunate first.
"Run!"
- Oh no, you don't. Not this time.
- [Jay] Baz, what are you doing?
- Finishing the job.
Get him now!
Monitor. He's getting away.
Wait till Finger finds out
what useless fools you are.
- Lila.
- I'm okay.
Now go.
- Monitor, get me down from here!
- Jay, come here. What is it?
- Stay there don't come any closer.
- What's the matter, what happened?
- You can't fool me. I
know what's going on.
- Did I do something?
- You won't stop until
you get what you want.
- I did it again.
I always come on too strong
to the guys that I like,
but what am I supposed to do?
Sit by the phone til you're ready to call?
- I'm sorry I can't be what you want.
- All I want is someone
to share stuff with.
And if you ask me, that's all you want to.
Here's a quarter.
You got my number. Call
me when you grow up!
(somber music)
- So, she dumped you, huh?
It's far for four.
- Only it wasn't that way.
- Right, like you dumped her.
- Not exactly, sorta.
I was so scared she'd hurt
me, I never knew I'd hurt her.
- Life's cruel. Welcome
back to the real world.
- It's gonna take a while to get used to.
(suspense music)
- The doctor said I was in a coma.
Maybe I was, but there is a
world beyond consciousness
that they knew nothing about.
