"#HUNT FOR THE UNICORN KILLER#" "You sure you want to come back here again?" " Things are different now, Daddy." "I just wasn't sure what I was doing up here the first time." "I still don't know what's wrong with all the colleges in Texas." "Well, I don't know if I like it here, Honey." "Don't worry, Daddy." " Oh, Honey." "Don't say that doodlebug, I'm your father." "That's my job: to worry." "You haven't called me that in a long time." "Well, for a few years there, I didn't think you wanted to hear it, so I was real careful." "I guess I didn't like a lot of things there for a while." "But you don't have to be so careful anymore, Daddy." "We're okay." " Yeah." "Come on!" " I don't know." "So you were here before." " Yeah." "I left after freshman year." "Why?" " Just not sure what I wanted to do yet." "Did some traveling." "Tried college back home." "That was not a good idea." "You're born in Tyler, Texas, you usually die in Tyler, Texas." "All my friends from high school married each other." "Some of them have their first baby already." "Not me."

"Dear Meg:" "Well, it's less intimidating here the second time "" "Megan, a few years off was healthy, I suppose." "So was putting in all that time and effort to lose my Texas twang." "I went to my first anti-war march the other day." "Don't tell Daddy!" "Don't tell Daddy!" There's an exclamation point after that, so don't tell." "Don't tell, Mary." " I won't tell. - "Funny." "I never felt like I fit in back there in Texas, but "" "I don't really feel like I fit in here, either." "Who knows?" "Now, remember: remember you guys can use my room and stereo but only if you turn it up really loud once in a while so Daddy thinks I'm still at home." "What are you guys doin' up there?" "Turn it down!" "Love you all." "Holly." "Join us at the rally." "What's going on?" " Earth Day." "What's Earth Day?" "Better when Khrushchev does it, isn't it?" "Too much with a sandal." "Greetings!" "I'm Ira Einhorn!" "On behalf of the City of Philadelphia." "The City of..." "Brotherly Love" "I'd like to welcome you to the very first Earth Day!" "Earth Day is not about confrontation." "It's a celebration!" "Isn't it?" "Vibrant!" "All right." "Excuse me." "All right." "This revolution I'm talking about cannot happen without legislation." "So, it is for that reason that we're going to allow a politician to speak." "All of us here should listen to him." "But if he lies if he feeds us any sort of self-serving political crap, we will let him know!" "Ladies and Gentlemen, Senator and former" "Vice-Presidential nominee, Ed Muskie!" "We're very excited about your book." "It's groundbreaking." "Part poetry, part philosophy." "Well, it speaks to this generation." "But we do need one more thing from you." "A title." "Ira?" " I don't believe in titles." "It immediately categorizes it." "I don't want the content compromised." "Well, doesn't the Library of Congress decide on a number?" "Sure." " There's your title." "Let me get this straight:" "You want to use a" "Library of Congress number as the title of your book?" "Ira, where ya goin?" "Come on." "This is important." "So is this." "I was wondering how long this would take him." "But he's already got a date with him." "Like that makes a difference with Ira." "I'm Ira." "Holly?" " Which is it?" "Singing or dancing?" " Dancing." "How did you know?" " You're a Taurus." "You're all musical." "Brahms was a Taurus." "Hey, come on." "How did you know this?" "It's a very complex psychic technique." "I've mastered the art of reading upside down." "May I borrow your pen?" "I'm having lunch with me editor over there." "Since he's paying, it'd be a little rude to leave, so here's my number." "Call me sometime." "I'll do your chart for you." "Earth Day." "That's where I saw you last year." "You and the rest of the world." "Have you really read all those books?" "Yup." "I read a book a day." "Excuse me." "Yeah, this is Ira." " Hi." "This is Holly." " Well, hi." "Hey can you hold on for a second?" "I'd like you to have that book." " Really?" "I'd like you to go back to your dorm, read it, and when you're through, call me and we'll discuss it." "Okay?" " Okay." "Bye-bye." "Hey." "I was hoping you'd call." "You're kind of a celebrity." "Celebrity helps my work." " What is your work?" "Enlightening the planet." " Well, I thought maybe you were a housekeeper." "Your place is so much cleaner than mine."

"I figured if I learned a lot of accents it would..." "Help you get rid of your own?" "Yeah." "When you were young, you'd sometimes provoke family and friends, wouldn't ya?" "Especially family." "Your skin is very sensitive." "Your innate sensuality frightens you." "You wish to be the object of love." "Isn't that a real generalization?" "I mean, doesn't everyone?" " Yeah, but we require unrestrained" "Always unrequited" "Unconditional love." "This is a real leap of faith you're making here, Holly." "I mean, how long have you known this guy?" "Long enough." "You're right, Sheila." "A leap of faith." "That's exactly what it is." "Well you graduate in a month and then you have to move out." "Why rush it?" " It just feels right." "That's all." " And what do I say if your Dad calls?" "Tell him I'm not there and then call me right away." "You can talk all you want about car-polluting the planet, but when you want to move, they sure come in handy." "I'll grant you that." "They do serve a purpose." "I don't know how the two of you are going to fit into that apartment." "I made a few changes." "I gave 'em all away." " Well." "We'll start over again." "One book at a time." "I've never seen Ira so happy." "What's the matter?" "It took him years to build up that collection of books and then he just gives them all away." "Doesn't that seem a bit obsessive?" "Well, maybe he's in love." "Holly could finally be the one." "Ira?" "One woman?" "She'd have to be pretty amazing." "At least this one has a brain." "Yeah, that's what scares me." "Well, you never know." "Maybe it'll work." " Bye-bye!" "Such an optimist." "So is this new place nice?" " Yeah." "It's great." "Safe neighborhood?" " Yes, Daddy." "It's very safe." "Tell Buffy I'm making her a special card for her birthday." "I'll do that, doodlebug." "I'll do that." "If you need anything, you call me." " I will." "Bye, Daddy." "Love to you all." " Bye, honey." "So you didn't mention me." " Not yet." "What?" "He wouldn't approve?" "No, they're a bit conservative." "Ira." "That's my journal." "Yes." "And some of its very good." "Please." "Don't ever do that." "I'm sorry." " I mean it." "It's private." " I'm sorry." "It's just you're the first woman I've ever really wanted to know." "It's something I've never felt before and I just want to know everything about you, that's all." "Please forgive me." "I'll never even peek into your journals ever again." "All right?" "Yeah?" "You like that one?" "It creeped me out a bit." "Really?" " Yeah, a little bit, I..." " Hello, Ira." "Evenin', George." " I need your help." "These longhairs think they're tearin' down my city, they got another thought comin'." "I'll make a look like a..." "I don't either." " They listen to you, talk to them." "Get them to keep it peaceful and I'll keep´ the law from turning this into a bloodbath, all right?" " Okay." "I'll try." "Would somebody take Holly home?" " No." "Honey, it's going to be dangerous." " No, I want to stay." "Come on." "Okay, okay here." "This is not what it's about!" "Please, please, be quiet!" "Please." "This is not what it's about people." "This is not revolution." "This is not peace." "You're burning buildings" "Mindless destruction, the blood of other human beings." "This is what we're fighting against!" "Let's follow the principles of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, not those of" "Richard Nixon and Mayor Rizzo!" "Okay." "Wake up." "I want everybody to sit down." "C'mon, everybody sit down." "Okay, let's join hands." "Everybody join hands here." "Everybody joining hands over there?" "We're all settled?" "Now I want us to sit here and peacefully protest the atrocities in Vietnam." ""Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound"" "You can come in anytime you want." ""That saved a wretch like me." "I once was lost but now I'm found..." "What's goin' on here?" "Nothin', Mayor." "Nothin' at all." "Follow the bouncing ball," "I want this stinking hippie out of my city." "I've been looking into some pretty wild stuff lately." "Currently, I'm investigating of paranormal powers which will afford us huge insights into the cellular consciousness." "Put it into English, Ira." " Psychic Phenomena, Harry." "The power of the minds." "Channeled correctly, the mind can emit enough energy to bend this spoon." "You got any proof of this?" "That's the trouble with journalists they always need proof." "I will have proof, Trevor, soon." " Well, here it is." "It's totally organic, even the flour." "And I hope it's okay because I've never done this before." "Hello?" "Ira Einhorn?" "We have a search warrant for this apartment." "So who sold you the pills?" "Well." "A pharmacy." "You know you guys are really on the ball." "You're arresting me for possessing a legal drug prescribed for a kidney ailment." "Start telling the truth." "You got a problem, officer?" "He's under arrest, lieutenant." " I just heard about this, Ira." "Call the lab, George." "Call my doctor." "It's legal." "All the charges were dropped." "In a nutshell, Ira Einhorn was arrested for only one reason:" "because he's Ira Einhorn." "Right." "All right." "First of all I'd like to thank the City of Philadelphia for the lovely accommodations." "Secondly, I'd like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for mayor of this great city." "My experience has been and I pinch myself now as the Department of Energy as an Ensyme." "They send me their weekly bulletins and it comes out: "Ira Einhorn Enzyme."" "...part of an international conspiracy to make the planet livable." "Now, if I may, with my remaining time" "What is he doing?" "If you had cut your hair, you would have gotten more votes." "Get rid of that beard and you'd be mayor today." "Hello, holly." " Hello, Mrs. Einhorn." " I've told you before, it's Bea." "Call me Bea, here." "I'll take the laundry." "You go get something to eat." "I just can't picture you as a jock." "Ira worked very hard for that." "He was so skinny as a boy." "He made us buy all these weight-gain drinks." "Look, let's just change the subject, shall we?" "He's the most fascinating man I've ever met." "There's nobody like him back there in Tyler." "Everybody that comes to Philadelphia stops by for a visit." "Allan Ginsburg, the poet." "Abby Hoffman." "Jerry Rubin." "We write together." "We read constantly." "Subjects I've never even thought about." "And probably never would have without him." "He teaches at a thing called the Free University and his classes always in enrollment." "Politics." "God." "The War." "Sex." "Ira makes us think about all of them." "I feel like I'm back in school again." "I'm sorry about not making the family camping trip, it's just too busy this year." "Love to you all, Holly." "In the 1980's, everybody's going to have one of these." "Every home will have a computer." "These computers will link together in a network" "Thank you." "Who's the guy in the two thousand dollar suit?" " That's Arthur Whitler." "He's the CEO of the Mid-Atlantic Communications Company." "Whitler." "I thought I saw you out there." "Hi." "I'm Ira." " Yes." "Of course you are." "The problem is: how do you get the information out there?" "A network." "We phone them." "I have access to some of the brightest people on the planet." "They send him articles, essays." "Really enlightening and important ideas." "So Ira has that and you have a mailing list." "Stamps, envelopes, an office full of Xerox machines." "What I was saying is:" "it'd be a network, Arthur." "A network of ideas." "All this is it's very interesting, Ira." "Careful with that." "Well, honey." "You be careful up there in Philadelphia." " Don't worry." "All my girls always tell me not to worry." "You be sure to tell Holly she's welcome home anytime." "You tell her that?" "And you?" "You be careful with this package." "Oh, you too." "What do ya think?" "So, I got an extra mat for you." "Hope you don't mind sleeping on the floor." "No." " Holly?" "Where the hell you been?" "I needed you here." "I the files we're copying today" "I was picking up Meg." "She's gonna stay with us for a few days." "Hi." "I'm Ira." "Hi." "You don't look like sisters." "Well, I look like Daddy." "Welcome to our home, Sister Meg." "She's asleep." " I don't care." " Come on." "Ira, please don't." "Touch me then." "No." "Look, I'm sorry." "But I feel funny with her in the same room." "I understand." "Where are you going?" " Out." "Come on." "It's all right." "Just be very quiet, okay?" "So, Daddy's getting' downright liberal." "He let Mary go out on a date last week." "He never let me do that at her age." "Yeah, well." "You were always the groundbreaker, but" "But what?" "He still isn't liberal enough to like my living arrangements, is that what you're trying to say?" " Well, you know Daddy." "Yeah, I know Daddy." "Look, Meg." "I don't want to put you in an awkward position or anything." "Oh, don't worry." "I won't say anything about it." "Thanks." "Now this." "This would look great on you." "I'm not wearing used clothes." "Oh my God." "Now you're starting to sound like Daddy." "Holly?" "Oh my God, are you okay?" "I think I'm pregnant." "What are ya gonna do?" "Ya gonna get married?" "You don't have to get married anymore, Meg." "You do back in Tyler." " Well, things are different here." "Things are just different." "You can't say anything about this." " I won't." "Promise: not to anybody." "Especially Ira." "Why not?" " Because you can't." "I'll tell him when the time is right." "I will tell him." "Okay." "You know." " You think he was a vegetarian?" " He was devoutly Jewish" "What about the fishes." "The fishes." "You see, that's what's happening today." "We're all struggling for some story." "Because you know, we're basically trying to find it in myth." "A new story for us to that's a really pretty sweater." "The joy of celebrity." "Ira?" "Hey, take Holly home for me, will ya?" "Ira, you can't do that to her." "She'll understand." "Don't worry about it." "See and that's what's happening today, we're all struggling for some story and that's the meaning for what hat whole story is, man." "The reason why there's so many wars in the world" "So how was she?" "Vacuous." "Come on in." "Why do you do this to me?" "I never lied to you, Holly." "You know I have the need for another woman sometimes." "It's not something I'm proud of, it's just the way I am." "And you've known this from the very beginning, haven't you?" "Haven't you?" " Yes." "Please, Holly." "I mean I love you but I cannot be tied down." "I've been honest about this from the day you moved in." "I'm pregnant." "Come here." "Sweetheart." "I'm so sorry." "I'll arrange everything." "Arrange what?" " We can't have a baby." " I don't want to have an abortion." "We're not ready for a baby, Holly." "But I love you." "I want us to start a family." "Holly, look." "Look at me." "We're not bringing a baby into a world that's unlivable." "My work is trying to corrects one of that but I can not and will not have a child until that work is finished." "All right?" "We have to do this, Holly." "We have to." "Okay, Holly." "Put this gown on." "Will you please?" "I'll be right with you." "Ira?" "You know the drill." "You've got an hour." "Dear Meg:" "Just a quick note to let you know I took care of that problem." "I'm fine, so don't worry." "Well, what's your sister got to say, Meg?" "Oh, nothin' much." "What, Daddy?" " Somethin' wrong with your sister?" "No." "You just sit there, read Holly's letters, laugh your head off and read all the good parts." "But ever since you got back from that place what is it, Meg?" "It's a lot of things." "She doesn't look good and they live in a ghetto, I swear" "They?" "She's livin' with this fellow isn't she?" "Yeah." "Swore you to secrecy, right?" "Well, Mom and I weren't born yesterday." "We figured it was something like this." "Can't say we approve." "Well, don't worry." "Your secret's safe with me." "I can buy this material in bulk." "I can do all sorts of things." "I can make dresses, tablecloths, anything." "There's a real market for this kind of stuff." " I know." "I just need a little start-up money." "Hello." "Hey, Daddy." "I have no desire to go to Texas." " I haven't seen 'em in so long and they were hurt when I missed the family camping trip." " I'm not stopping ya, Holly." "If you feel you have to do this, do it." " They want to meet you." "I want you to meet them." "Look, this means a lot to me." "I don't ask you for much, do I?" "Please?" "Lord, I want to thank you for the food we're about to eat" "and for sendin' Holly here to share it with us." "Amen." "Ira." "I don't know, but you cut my hair." "Hey, Holly?" "Holly?" "Ira, you've got to see this oh look" "Holly?" "I need you to brush my hair." "Look-it, that's me." "Holly?" "I want you to brush my hair." "Okay." "Holly." "Did you read my book, Frank?" "Yep." "So what d'ya think?" "Well, Ira, I'm not really much on poetry." "Robert Frost is about as far as I go, but I thought I should read it." "I can see we have different tastes." "I don't think I've ever seen quite a collection of books on Hitler." "World War Two had quite an influence on me." "Most things do when you're a teenager." "Saw an awful lot of evil, ugly things." "I guess I'm still trying to figure some of it out." "You do realize how offensive that is, I hope." "That flag." "Yeah, well we found that in a post office in a little French village we liberated." "They found it pretty offensive, too." "Of course, as a Jew, I find it particularly." "Well, we had to defeat the biggest anti-Semite of all time and I'm proud to say, I was a small part of it." "That flag reminds me of it every day." "It's just a souvenir." "That's all." "You wanna make more of it, go right ahead." "This is a big charade, you know?" "Forcing us into separate bedrooms." "I'm old-fashioned." "Holly and I live together, you know?" "We sleep together." "Ira, I have to fill you in on a couple of things." "Just because we talk a little slow down here, does not mean we are stupid." "I think you're the most ill-mannered man I have ever met in my life." "And I know you're an intelligent fella." "And you probably can turn on the charm any time you want." "You just came here into my house and you chose not to." "I know that you want me to make a big scene, probably want me to throw you out of the house you wanna drive a wedge between Holly and us." "I don't like you." "And I really don't like the way you treat my daughter." "But you're a guest in my house and I'm gonna be civil with ya." "For Holly's sake." "I don't want Holly to have to choose between us." "I'm not gonna put her through that." "So you can be as obnoxious and condescending as you want" "I'll deal with it." "Well, I got something for you, Holly." "Here." "It's handmade." "All your sisters got one." "I wanted to give it to you personally." "Oh, Daddy, I can't." "Oh, honey, sure you can." "It's beautiful, honest it is, but" "He wouldn't approve of it, though." "Just hold it for me, will you?" "All right, honey." "All right." "When you want your present, you call me all right?" "Call me." " You're not interested in my..." "Your first book, it sold." " It sold." " Two thousand copies, Ira." "That's it." "Look." "I don't need a big advance." "I just need something to, you know, hold me over." "You know what, champ?" "Your stuffs just too out there." "Who are you?" "Look, I don't have to explain anything to you!" "Look!" "Don't hang up on me, please." "Don't hang up." "My phone is essential to my..." "We need money." "Ira." "No." "Please." " What?" "You'd be great at this." "I'll get a job." " Not making this kind of money." "Come on." "It'll be good for you, Holly." "It'll be good for us." "It'll liberate ya." "Make you explore your sensuality, make you less inhibited." "Holly, look." "The work we're doing is so important." "Does it really have to stop because of something so mundane as money?" "Nervous?" " No." "Mr. Geller." "Thank you." "We've seen some amazing examples of psychic phenomenon here today." "I'd also like to thank Dr. Poharak and the man who arranged all this for us today, Ira Einhorn." "Your water, sir." "Thank you." "You don't drink?" " Glass of wine, occasionally." "That's it?" " A little pot." "For mind-expanding purposes only." "My LSD days went out in the sixties." "Why do you ask?" " Oh, I'm just curious." "Hi." "I'm Ira." " Yes, I know." "Barbara Bronfman." "You honestly believe the CIA's experimenting with this sort of thing?" "Absolutely." "Along with the Defense Department." "You see what Geller was doing today?" " Amazing." "What better radar than the human radar?" "See, we're gathering proof that both the CIA and the Russians are developing this psychic ability in people to make them into human weapons." "I don't mean to interrupt but we should get going." "It's getting late." "Would you excuse me?" " Of course." "Holly." "You ever heard of Seagram's Whiskey?" "Sure." " Well, that woman is Barbara Bronfman." "She is Seagram's Whiskey." "She's the richest woman in Canada." "And she's interested in my work." "Well, I'd like to talk to her." " Well, what are you going to talk about?" "Stripping?" "Go hang out." "You know, Arthur." "Your labs should investigate Geller's power." "There could be some groundbreaking stuff here." "A little too groundbreaking." "Look, Ira." "It might be a good idea to be careful about some of the things you're saying." "About the CIA?" "Defense Department stuff?" "Those people don't have a sense of humor." "You could be making some powerful enemies." "Don't worry about me, Arthur." "I'm also making some powerful friends." "Holly?" "It's unbelievable." "I mean, Poharak wants me to come up to his farm, this summer and help him with his experiments on mind control and the Bronfmans have asked me up to Canada." "It's great!" " What about me?" "You keep saying they want you to come up there." " What about me?" "Holly." "We're experimenting with psychic phenomenon that is someday going to effect all of us." "I want you there with me." "All right?" " Maybe you should go by yourself." "What?" "I can't go there without you." "You'll find another woman." "I'm sorry." "You scared me." " Then don't provoke me." "Honey." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "I need you." "Come with me, please." "Don't say things like that." "Hey hey!" "Ira." "We are going to have such a time." "I made you some bread." "Raisin bread." "Thank you..." " Holly." " Holly." "Poharak is here and some psychic phenomenon experts from Europe." " Perfect." "The signs are all obvious, yet, we sit as if paralyzed at the edge of the millennium." "Waiting." "The darkness of the past looms." "He sensed the mark of the future is being carved deep in his bones." "Since that time, he has slowly been exploring the realm of the mythological mother." "Hello." "What are you drawing?" "Nothing." "You're missing the lecture." "I have no idea what they're talking about half of the time." "I have a feeling some of them aren't even too sure." "Then why are you here?" "I was bored this weekend." "Don't let me interrupt you." " No." "It's okay." "Sit down if you want." "I'm Saul." "Saul Lapides." "Holly Maddux." "So I sold the business and I've just been sorta bummin' around on my boat ever since." "I've got it docked at Fire Island." "Have you ever been there?" " No." "I'd love to take you out on it sometime." "I live with someone." " Yeah, I know." "Ira." "We'd better get back." " Wait." "Could I see your drawings?" "No." "They're no good." "Please." "It's beautiful." " No." "It's crude." "There's no style." " It's lovely." "It's fragile." "The life energy never leaves." "It is here with us, no?" "Open yourself to it." "Open your self." "Think about a safe haven." "Make the body safe place to look inward." "Look inside." "Your self." "I see something." "It's a girl." "I see a girl." "A girl." "What else?" "It's nothing." "It's not important." "Tell us, what did you see?" " Don't encourage her..." "It's a little girl." "She's frightened." "Very frightened." "Because she's learning to ride a bike." "It's a two-wheeler and it's her first time but she's doing it and she leaves the person who's holding her and she starts to" "Starts to what?" "A little girl on a bicycle?" "Look." "It's obvious Holly isn't sophisticated enough to distinguish between true, psychic energy and her own, little imagination." "Just shut up and listen, honey." "You know?" "What that woman has to say is every bit as important as anything the great Ira Einhorn has to say." "You don't understand our relationship, Saul." "Holly." "I'm sorry." "I don't know what got into me." "It's just, you see, sometimes I don't think you understand how important this is to me and to my work." "If I hurt you it's because, well I want you to grow." "Look." "I know I'm a little rough sometimes." "You know, sometimes it just..." "I lose my patience and... well, look." "I'm sorry." "Will you forgive me." "Holly." "Holly?" "Holly?" "Daddy?" "Thanks for sending me the money." "Worth every cent." "She's done her little disappearing act before, but never more than a day or so." "Why don't you call her parents?" "They hate me!" "No one hates you, Ira." " Look." "The father's a Nazi." "They're trying to pull her away from me." "I can feel it." "You're not going to know anything until you call." "I'll get that." "It's probably one of Mary's boyfriends." "Hello?" "One minute." "Holly?" "It's him." "King of the Piggies." "Don't be like that." "Daddy..." " I'm not lyin' for you and I'm not gonna do your dirty work." "Now you've gonna get some backbone, talk to him." "Tell him." "Go on." "I don't want to talk to you, Ira." "No." "Please, don't." "No." "Not after the way you've treated me." "Goodbye, Ira." "Don't call here again." "I mean it." "Way to go, Holly!" "Yeah!" "I see." "You got a degree from one of the best colleges in the country and you want to make dresses?" "My dresses and my designs." "I need to do something on my own." "Something I can take some pride in and then" "And then, you can go back to him." "Go back there, Meg." "Whether Ira's a part of it or not." "I can't stay here." "I don't belong here." "I miss you." "I love you and the hurts I know I've heaped upon you, pain me too." "And I feel so stupid for doing it, for you were soft and lovely and I want you to just be with me." "The rest are distractions, Holly." "They do not allow me the constant focus I need." "Please come back to me, Holly, please." "I will share you work and you can share mine." "Please." "Feed my being with your very presence." "Well, I've been back for six weeks, and so far here, things are better." "Repeat: so far." "Ira's been incredibly considerate and supportive." "I've started to make my dresses and working in our local food co-op." "I've even been selling some of my baked goods." "All organic, of course." "You'd probably hate them, daddy." "I know you were worried last time, but don't be." "Content and busy and plan to stay that way." "Sounds good, doesn't she?" "In a few years, Holly, this will all be obsolete." "Just hit a button on a computer and all the research material you need will be aright at your fingertips." "Rita?" "Oh God." " How are you?" "God, I thought you moved away." "Don't touch me!" "Don't come near me, you son of a bitch!" "It's just like" "What?" " Do you hear me, you bastard?" "Don't you ever touch me!" "It's on sale." "So who was she?" "Who?" " Come on, Ira." "The woman at the book sale." " A sheltered lawyer." "Why did she act like that?" " Because she's the female of the species." "Erotic." "Over-emotional." "Non-thinking." "Woman." "She's not important." "Your brownies sold out yesterday." "Make twice as many next time." "Two." "Saul Lapides." "We met at Barbara Bronfman's?" "I remember." "Surprised." "So what brings you here?" " Business at the university." "I just thought I'd look you up." "See how you were." "Last time you left rather suddenly." " Yeah." "Well, things are different now." "Everything's great." "Well, good." "I'm glad for you." "Look, would you like to have coffee or something after work?" "I'm really busy tonight." "I can't." " Okay." "Maybe another time." "Well, I'm in town for about a month." "I'm staying at the Bel Vue, so if your schedule lightens up, just give me a call, okay?" "Sure." "Well, it's nice seeing you again, Holly." "#DO NOT DRIVE ME TO CRUELTY..." "YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS TO ME#" "#STUPID NAIVE CHILD#" "#SEX IS THE ROCK OF OUR FAILURE#" "Our counseling philosophy here is to re-live feelings from the past and TO discharge those feelings by experiencing the emotions that should have been released the first time around." "And as part of this cycle of growth, we have to state our goals." "Holly." "Since you're new here." "Would you like to tell us your goals?" " I'm not very." "Okay." "I have moments where I can be strong and I think a little bit at a time, I am getting stronger." "But what I'd like to do is gain some sort of control over my own life." "And what are you going to do when you find that strength?" "Lots of things." "I want to use it to" "leave the man I'm living with." "I don't know, the whole night was just weird, you know?" "Ira was mad." "I was really embarrassed." "Sometimes, I just I need to disappear." "You had nothing to be embarrassed about." "It was Ira." " No, he was right." "I was way out of my league." "I wish you'd stop talking like that." "I have to go." " Okay." "Well, look." "Here." "This is my card and I've got to go back to New York now, but if you ever feel like disappearing again," "Just give me a call." "Did you sleep with him?" "The two of you come to my restaurant and you didn't think I'd hear about it?" "No, I did not sleep with him." "But even if I did, you would have no right to say anything." "Not after everything you've done." "What I was gonna say is, it's all right if you do." "We have an open relationship." "I see other women." "It might be healthy for you to see other men." "No, my father's a pretty dominant sort of guy, I guess." "Gary Cooper type." " Is he dominant in the same kind of way Ira is?" "God, no." "No, my father is like a giant redwood." "Ira's more like a bulldozer." "Okay." "Good." "Let's stay with the metaphors." "What's Holly?" " A daisy." "Which are easily crushed by bulldozers." "Start thinking about what's good for Holly." "No one else." "Just Holly." "If you don't want to go to London with him, just tell him." "Call up that Giant Redwood inside you, because there's some there." "And you do what's best for Holly." "If you wanna stay, stay." "Holly Look," "I have been asked to give a very important speech." "You, on the other hand, have a chance to meet some of the greatest minds in the world." "To maybe improve yourself, educate yourself so you don't constantly embarrass me." "You're useless." " I just think it's a great chance for me to really learn and grow." "And also it's the most important work he's ever done." "And I think he really needs me there." "So I'm gonna go with him." "Hear that, Holly?" "Hear that?" "That's history we're hearing." "Isn't that glorious?" "Not having to sleep on a mat is glorious." "Yeah." "A real bed." "Maybe it'll help to liven things up a little bit." "I'm gonna go unpack." "What we have to keep in mind is what we're headed for is a time of immense social coance."

"Thank you Thank you" " Mister Einhorn?" "Ira" " Yes." "I'd love to talk to you about some of your ideas." "Sounds like fun." "Let's do that." "Honey?" "Hey." "You would not believe how cheap the fabric is here." "It's amazing." "I can't wait 'til we get home." "What are you doing?" "What's this about?" "I have a surprise for you." " What?" "What is it?" "You'll see." "Relax Come on, Holly." "Just relax." " No, what're you..." "Stop it!" "Just relax." "Get out of here!" "Both of you!" "Get out of here now!" "I'm gonna have these framed." " No." "They're not good enough." "Hey!" "I told you, as long as you're on this boat in my presence, you're not allowed to put yourself down." "I know" " You are bright and beautiful and talented." "And I think I'm falling in love with you." "Does that still make you uncomfortable?" "I'm just not ready for the love part." "Yet." ""Ira and I've split, although he doesn't officially know it yet." "I'm becoming a much more healthy creature." "It's great to realize I'm a capable person who is ready to live." "Holly?" " She was here a couple weeks ago, but I haven't seen her since." "Did she tell you where she was going?" "No." "Where did Holly go?" "I have no idea." "Yes you do." "Where is she?" "Get out of my way." "Now." "I love her, you know." "I'm sure you think you do." ""You probably won't even recognize me, outgoing and unafraid." "Quite a radical turnaround." "And very pleasant." "Lots of love, Holly." "P. S.

"I have to go back there and get my things." "Don't touch me." "Come on There's a great movie playing tonight: "Star Wars"!" "Thanks." " Hello, Holly." "I'm so glad you guys are back together again." "Please, just accept it!" " But, listen, I want to marry you." "No." " I do." "I want us to have a baby." " Don't do this." "Don't do this, Ira." " We could make a beautiful baby." "With your light blonde hair, blue eyes, huh?" "Come on wait wait wait wait" "Look, Ira" " I want us to have a baby." "Look, Ira I'm sorry, but I just wanna get my things." "And I'll stay somewhere else tonight." "Okay?" "Please?" "We'll talk about it." "We got all night." "It's Holly!" "It's about time she called." "Hello!" "Hold on a second." "Mary, it's for you." "Don't talk too long in case she's trying to call, all right?" "She's probably just having a good time." "All right." "Well, it's my birthday, I get the flowers." "How's that?" "Where the hell is she?" "Did you get any sleep?" " No." "I've just been looking at her picture, thinking." "Something's not right." "No call, no letter." "Something's not right." "Yeah, this is Ira." " Hello, this is Fred Maddux." "Is Holly there?" "Can I speak to her?" "She's not with you?" "I assumed she was." "She's not there." "You haven't seen her?" "Well, she came for her things a couple of nights ago and left." "I figured she'd head back home." "What do you mean, she came for her things?" "We broke up, Fred." "Well, you have any idea where she might be?" "None." "But when you see her, could you ask her to call me?" "We still have some things we need to straighten out." "If you do hear from her, you have her call home, you hear?" "You do that for me?" " I will." "You know, and don't worry, Fred." "Holly has a habit of doing stuff like this." "Yeah." "Bye." "Her father called today, right?" "I assumed she'd gone back home." "I went to where she works." "I called up her friends: nothing." "I finally just freaked out, and I called all the hospitals, the police: nothing!" "No one's seen her." "Maybe something happened to her." "No one's seen her." "I can't live without her." "I don't know what to do" "#SIX WEEKS LATER#" "Well, the Philadelphia police just aren't" "Well, they're not very interested." "My wife's being kind." "They don't give a damn about Holly." "Well, Fred, I'm afraid that's kind of common." "Holly's a grown woman." " What the hell's that got to do with it?" "We haven't heard from her in almost two months!" "She's a diabetic." "She could be in a coma somewhere." " Fred, please" "Before I start my investigation, I have to put together a profile on Holly." "I'll need to know as much about her as I possibly can." "Did she ever disappear like this before?" "Yeah." "A couple of times." "But never this long." "Holly's always been somewhat of a puzzle." "Hello?" " Hi, Fred." "It's Ira." "Where are you?" " I thought you'd like to know Holly's okay." "Where is she?" " I have no idea." "She called me about a week after we spoke." "What'd she say?" "She wanted to be left alone for a while" "She didn't want anybody to try and find her." "Did she say where she was?" " That's all, Fred." "Well now, Ira, wait a minute." "We gotta talk now." "She, she must've Where, where are you?" "I'm working." "Goodbye." "Who was that?" "Who did you have to talk to?" "I've forgotten your name." "Nina." "You must appease the unicorn." "I don't like this, Fred." "I'm used to working alone." "Well, I gotta do something, Bob." "The minute I start getting in the way, you let me know." "I'll let you do your job." "And you have no idea where he is?" "Ira goes away every summer." "I have no idea where he's been 'til he shows up with his laundry." "But he doesn't know anything, Mr. Stevens." "I mean, if you could have seen him" "He spent two days calling all their friends, where she worked." "Then he went to the police and hospitals, I mean, he was frantic." "He seemed quite calm when I spoke to him, Mrs. Einhorn." "Call me Bea." "May I call you Fred?" "All right." " Did you actually see Ira make any of these calls?" "You know, I always hoped we'd meet at a wedding." "The second I saw Holly, I thought "She's the one." "She's special."" "I always wanted a little girl, and Holly." "Oh, I'm sure she's fine." "Were you working here the day Ira came in?" "What day was that?" " Couple days after Holly disappeared." "Not here." " Are you sure?" "Maybe you were off that day." "No, I'm here every day." "Ira hasn't been here since Holly left." "Believe me, you remember Ira." " And you say you saw Ira two nights after you went to the movies?" " That's right." "Now, I know he was distraught, but did he give any indication that he might know where Holly is?" "Distraught?" " Not Ira." "So, when he came here asking about Holly, he didn't seem..." "He never asked about Holly." " No." "In fact, we asked about her." "We thought she'd be with him." " And what did he say?" "He said she went out while he was taking a bath and never came back." "And he wasn't upset?" " No." "You've been pretty close to Ira and Holly, right?" "Yeah." "A few years now." " In all that time, did you ever see any signs of violence?" "Physical abuse?" " No." "Not Ira." "He wouldn't hurt a fly." "I don't mean that as a cliché." "He literally wouldn't hurt a fly." "He used to make me open the window and chase them out." "No, Ira's never been violent in his life." "He's not capable of it." "How much damn evidence do you people need?" "We interviewed Mr. Einhorn two days after we spoke with you, Mr. Maddux." "He repeated the same story." "He and Holly had words, she left while he was in the bathtub, and nobody has seen her since." " So that's all you've done?" "Just one damn interview?" "I'm sorry, but unless somebody can come up with some kind of proof that a crime's been committed, my hands are tied." "I understand your frustration, Mr. Maddux." "But I think you're barking up the wrong tree." "Ira may be a bit of a nut, but he's very popular in this city." "He's helped me out from time to time." "He's saved a lot of kids over the years." "I was there." "I saw it." "Now, I'll grant you, he may be a little out there." "In my book, sir, he could use a haircut and a bath." "But I know for a fact that there isn't a violent bone in his body." "You wanna wait in the car, Fred?" "Sure." "I know Ira." "A little crazy looking, but always friendly." "Did you ever seen any incidence of violence?" "No." "Nothing like that." "Ira's a peace hook." "I hear some shouting once in a while, but that's about it." "It's been a real pain." " Why was it a pain?" "The place smelled." " What kind of smell?" " Never did find out." "Garbage bag or something Landlord tried to find it, but Ira changed all his locks, so nobody could get in." "Fred!" "Listen to me, dammit!" "Listen to me" "This isn't your daughter." " Father, Jesus..." "We can't go busting into places or this thing'll blow up in our faces." "We gotta do it legal, Fred." "It's the only way." "Whoa, Fred." "It's gonna take me a little bit longer." "But I'm gonna find a missing piece of evidence." "And I'm gonna put it in a report, and personally give it to the Philly cops, and they're gonna get involved." "What are you trying to tell me here?" "Fred, you gotta go back home and let me do my job." "#DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE#" "#HUNT FOR THE UNICORN KILLER#" "As you're probably aware, Harvard awards very few fellowships in the Kennedy School of Government." "I'm extremely honored to receive it." "Yes, well, it's a bit of an event here, and, well, we have to hold a little press conference." "Hope you don't mind talking to reporters." "Oh, no." "Not at all." "It's one of my favorite things." "...what happens with mutual assumptions is that we forget that we created those assumptions, that we use those assumptions to give structure to the world." "After a while, we see the structure of the world as if those assumptions were so deeply embedded that we act as if we do not operate with assumptions." "Because like nature abhoring a vaccuum, human beings never function according to established structure." "#TYLER WOMAN STILL MISSING#" "Morbid jerks!" "Buffy Now don't do that." "I don't like it either, but it's important." "It keeps the case alive." "It took Holly quite a while to open up in front of the group." "She always seemed afraid that she might say the wrong thing." "When was the last time you saw her?" " A few months ago." "Right after she came back from Europe." "They must have had a terrible fight over there because she left him." "For good this time." "I mean it." "I'm glad." "You look terrific." "You know, I feel terrific." "This huge weight has been lifted from me." "Literally." "And figuratively." "No, really, Norma I just feel so much stronger." "Thank you." "Do you need a place to stay?" "I'm going up to Fire Island to maybe stay on a boat for a while" "A man?" " A very nice one." "And she didn't give you his name?" " No." "Were you happy when she broke up with Ira?" "Well, that would be making a judgement, wouldn't it?" "And we try not to do that here." "Yes." "He'd started abusing her." "You saw this?" " No." "I saw the result:" "Holly's face." "What'd she tell you about it?" " She didn't say anything." ""Ran into a door " Oldest excuse in the world." "God, I hope she's all right." "I hope she's out sailing right now with some man who treats her right." "She deserves it." "Just a moment!" "Hi, I'm Ira." "I'm Robert Stevens." "I've been trying to reach you for a while now." "Yes." "You're the one who's been harrassing my friends and family." "Not harrassing..." " Look, Mr. Stevens I've tried to be helpful." "I spoke to Fred Maddux, which is not one of my favorite pasttimes, and I gave a complete statement to the police." "Yes, I know." " I was in the bathtub when she left." "I've had one phone call from her." "And that's it." "I have nothing more to add." "May I come in?" " No." "I'm sorry." "I'm very busy planning Sun Week." "What's that?" "Well, it's a celebration of the Sun, in the hopes of promoting alternative energy sources." "You"e not the least bit interested, are you, Mr. Stevens?" "So, if you'll excuse me..." " Who was the man she was leaving you for?" "I don't know what you're talking about." " Fire Island." "He has a boat." "Most people on islands do." " Do you know who I'm referring to?" "Well, it's probably Saul, I think his name was." "If that's to whom you're referring" "I have no idea." " You know where she met him?" " No idea." "Could I possibly take a look at your phone bill?" "If she called him and there's a record of the call" "No." "I'm not disrupting my files." "Why was she leaving you?" "Mr. Stevens, women don't leave me." "I leave them." "Some old Stones song I know there's nobody out here, but just pick it up." "Something off tempo" "Hey, I'm Ira." " So?" "Someone should tell him the sixties are dead." "There are several top secret documents generated by our Defense Department that blame the electrical failures in planes and... helicopters on UFO's." "But the official stand our government takes is UFO's don't exist." "That is an example of a paradox." "Do you have a copy of these top secret documents?" "I have seen them, yes." " But do you have them in your possession?" "No." "But I'm working on it." "Anyway, what's this Stevens guy up to, Ira?" "He's called me twice." " Yeah, me too." "I hope you didn't take his call." " No, just like you told me." "It's just a little awkward, Ira I mean, if he's really looking for Holly, maybe we should try and help." "Look, this Stevens is an ex-FBI fascist hired by an even bigger fascist, Fred Maddux." "I mean, this man, Holly's father, his den is a shrine to Adolph Hitler." "I'm not kidding." "He has, I kid you not, a Nazi flag hanging up on the wall." "Let me put it this way:" "As a nice Jewish boy, I did not feel comfortable there." "Come on, Ira." "You haven't been in a synagogue since your Bar Mitzvah." "That's not the point, Harry." "The point is, he's an anti-semetic right-winger." "He's dangerous." "You know, the thing that I don't understand, Ira..." "And I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but," "We, we all know how much you loved Holly." "But if I were you, I'd be goin' nuts trying to find her and, and you..." "Don't seem to care?" "Is that what you're trying to say?" "Sure it is." " No, it's all right, Lucas, 'cause I understand it." "The simplest way I can explain it is" "I lift myself to another mental plane." "I can feel these emotions:" "loss, betrayal, etcetera, but by stepping out of my body, and engaging in another level of consciousness, I can go on with my life." "I feel all the things I should feel." "Believe me." "I loved Holly very much." "I think about her every day." "But it's important to me that I can function." "Mind over matter." "You look skeptical." "No." "I mean it." "Put it out." "No, Ira Do it, Lucas." "Ira" " I'm serious." "Do it." "All right, enough." "God, that's enough." "Are you telling us that didn't hurt?" " 'Course it hurt." "On one level." "Mentally I just went to another level." "And the pain doesn't matter." "There you go." " Thanks, Daddy." "There's your brother." " Johnny!" "Oh, Johnny!" "You're back!" "He's kind of old for you, honey." "Yeah, just a bit, Meg." "You watch out now." "I don't know Look at that, John." "These women are putting so much stuff on that tree, you can't tell what color it is under there." "I mean, it could be purple for all we know." "I'll get it." "Hello." "Merry Christmas." "Oh, hi, Bob." "Oh, no bother." "No bother." "I thought you'd like to know, I think I found that last missing piece of evidence that the cops needed." "Thank God." "Well, I appreciate you calling me, Bob, and telling me this." "It's good to know." "All right." "Well, right after the first of the year, then." "All right." "Merry Christmas to you too, Bob." "Well John, let's find out what the color of that tree really is, huh?" "What is it, honey?" "Every time that damn phone rings, I get my hopes up." "You know, I just keep thinking it's someone calling to say they've found Holly and she's fine" "And it's Christmas, and I miss her so much." "Oh, honey" "It's the hardest, worst thing I've had to do." "But we have to accept the fact that Holly's not coming back." "Tonight, sorting through Christmas stuff" "I mean, a hundred things make me think about her every day." "But she's not coming back, Liz." "And what we have to do is focus on the man that took her from us." "Seems there was a complaint sworn out against him about fifteen years ago, but it was dropped, so there's no record." "By itself it's pretty useless, I'm afraid, but if we can get the girl to go to the police" "That's her." "What are you doing here?" "Ms. Siegel, this is Fred Maddux." "I don't want to talk to you." " Holly Maddux's father." "I'm sorry." "About what?" "I haven't told Fred here anything." "I thought you should." "Don't do this to me." " We need your cooperation." " I can't help you." "Ms. Siegel, I came all the way here from Texas." "I need to know what's going on here." "I dated Ira back in the sixties." "He was terrific at first but then things..." "Well, who knows what causes a break-up?" "I just knew that I didn't want to be with him any more." "I don't want to see you any more, okay, Ira?" "You're not welcome here, so please just leave." "Wait" "It was like a little switch went off in his head," "He was very deliberate." "He knew exactly what he was doing." "To kill what you love when you can't have it is a very natural thing." "I'm sorry." "That's when I knew" "I was in a room with a madman." "Why didn't you press charges?" "Oh, right." "He was Ira Einhorn." "A celebrity." "Darling of the intellectuals or people who wanted to think they were intellectuals." "Who was I?" "Some college kid." "I transferred." "Ms. Siegel, I need your help." "No." "I'm sorry." " Please, listen to me." "The police don't want to help." "They need all sorts of evidence." "And what you just said..." "Well, you could be the missing piece we've been looking for." "I don't want to get involved." "It's just been too painful for me." "You don't know what pain is." "Now, I wanna show you something." "Go on." " No, I'm sorry." "Go on, look, dammit!" "That's my daughter." "And I don't know what happened to her or where she is." "Don't you know this is a father's worst nightmare?" "My job was to protect her." "It's the not knowing that's tearing at me." "Do you understand that?" "I'm begging you." "For my wife, my family for Holly." "Please?" "Help me find out what happened to my little girl." "And then he put his hands around my neck and started to squeeze." "Go on." "Then what happened?" " That's it." "I don't remember any more." "All right, that'll be all." "That'll be all." "Rita?" "Thanks." "This guy did it, George." "This guy did it." "I wanna go slow here." "You wasted almost a whole damn year." "It's all in there." "What the hell else do you need?" "Corroboration." "We have to verify everything in this file." "He's gonna die of old age before you get him." "You have to understand something, gentlemen." "Ira Einhorn is a local celebrity, with a lot of contacts." "And if we don't do this right, he's gonna hire some lawyer, and he's gonna shove this file down our collective throats." "And he's gonna have the press on his side the whole time he's doing it." "Tell me something, Inspector." "Do you think he did it?" "Yesterday I would have said no." "I would have said Ira Einhorn was the last person I would suspect of a violent act." "Nice job, Mr. Stevens." "You changed my mind." "So what do we do now?" " Just like the Inspector said: check everything out." "What about this Saul?" " What do we need him for?" "It's Ira that's the problem." "We gotta check everything out." "This Saul guy, he obviously had a stake in this thing with Holly." "Until we talk to him, he is still a suspect." "A distant suspect, all right?" "We think some of Einhorn's friends know who he is." "But they won't talk to us." " Well, that's the best thing about being a cop." "They gotta talk to me." " If, God forbid, something did happen to Holly, Ira didn't do it." "He loved her very much." "Holly disappeared almost a year ago." "And you still don't think something happened to her?" "Holly was a free spirit." "She went with the wind sometimes." "Holly was involved with another man, a Saul somebody" "Lapides." "Do you have a number on him?" " Lives on Fire Island." "Shouldn't be hard to find." "You seem to have liked Holly." "She was very sweet." "I didn't know her very well." "She was pretty quiet." "Of course, with Ira, it was tough sometimes for anyone to get a word in." "But you liked her?" " Oh yeah." "Then how come you refused to help her father's detective when he contacted you?" "Ira asked us not to." "You know, I can think of a million reasons why Holly might want to kill Ira." "But I can't think of one reason why Ira would ever want to harm her." "So now, this annoyoing Detective Newhouse is calling every other day." "He's a legendary fascist, bred in Philadelphia." "Ira's definition of a fascist is anyone who doesn't agree with Ira." "It's the truth, Barbara." "Tell me, Ira, what do you think happened to Holly?" "Well, I have a theory." "But I didn't want to say anything before now." "Now that the police are involved, however I think if something has happened to Holly, it was done to embarrass me." "No." "No, think about it." "Much of my work has been in very sensitive areas." "Areas the government would prefer to remain sacred." "Especially the CIA and the defense department." "That's ridiculous." "Is it, Andrua?" "I'm a celebrity." "I ran for Mayor." "My picture's been on the cover of magazines." "They can't just get rid of me." "That would look too conspicuous." "But if they got to Holly If they did something to her" "Then that makes me a suspect and discredits my work." "Which is exactly what they want." "Yeah, Detective Newhouse?" " That's me." "I'm Saul Lapides." "Call you back." "I don't know how he got my number, but he called." "And he I mean, he's just nuts." "Hear that, Holly?" "You hear that?" "Do not play games with me!" "I'll come back, Ira." "I swear!" " She was gonna go back to Philadelphia, get her stuff, and how'd she put it Uh Get him off the wall." "Will you listen to me?" "Will you let me drive you?" " No." "I'll go back there." "I'll get my stuff." "I'll calm him down." "You coming back?" "Yeah, I'll come back." "Hey, remember how you said you wanted to take the boat out for a month or two?" "Not care where you are just drift?" "Yeah." " Can we do that when I get back?" "I don't know why he's been able to push my buttons for so long, but it's over." "Finally over." "And that was the last time I saw her." "So I called Ira." "He gave some story about how she left when he was in the bathtub or something." "I gave it some time." "I called some other friends, but nothing." "Until you called me." "And I appreciate you coming down here, Mr. Lapides." "Then why do you look so skeptical, Detective?" "Why didn't you call the police?" "I did." "And I was rather brusquely informed of how close Ira was to some of you people." "And that he was supposedly non-violent." "And I was told that it would be a big waste of time." "I thought Mom was gonna die!" "But she just started laughing." "Wait." "You're too young to remember this one." "And how old was Holly, maybe about seventeen?" "And, you know, so she shoots these guys a moon!" "What the hell you doing in here?" "Laughing and carrying on like a bunch of..." "This is your sister's room, dammit." "We miss her too." "You're not the only one." "And we like to go in that room, because it makes us feel good." "Like maybe she's still..." "We miss her too, Daddy." "Yeah." "I just heard you laughing." "Come here, come here." "Come here." " Daddy..." "Everything in Stevens' report checks out." "Plus we have Lapides, who helps us with motive and Einhorn's irrational state of mind." "We gotta move on this, George." "It's been over a year." "Evidence disappears." "Those two college boys downstairs are gonna graduate, and who the hell knows where they're gonna end up next year..." " Okay, okay." "I want you to get help on this one." " I don't need any help on the warrant." "I can go in there today and get the warrant." "Jake I want all the I's dotted and all the T's crossed." "Einhorn has a lot of friends." "And I want you to have DiBenedetto over in the D.A.'s office look over the file." "So you collect these things?" "I make them." "Your application for warrant's fine." "Got a couple of suggestions to tighten it up." "So let's get to work, hand this over to a judge, and you can go get this guy." "So what makes you think somebody's been in here?" "I don't know." "It's just little things I've been noticing." "Like look at this Just marks next to the lock." "Look at all this caulking." "Look at this." "It's just falling out by the handful." "Well, it's old." " All at once?" "It just starts to fall off?" "No." "Somebody's been prying it." "And just yesterday, I came home and I found this." "Anything missing?" " It's not burglars I'm worried about?" "Who then?" "Don't be naive, Lucas." "The government?" "Why would they want to berak into your apartment?" "To look through my files or journals, to plant a listening device" "There's a myriad of reasons for them to do it." "If it's the government." "Who else?" " Think about it." "Who's paying a detective to hound me and my friends?" "Holly's family." "Who hates me more?" "I think you're just paranoid here, Ira." "Let's hope that's all it is." "Fellas, come here." "We're gonna do this nice and slow." "I want every move, every move, documented." "That's your job, okay?" "I want you with me the whole time." "I don't want anything to come back to haunt us here." "Okay?" "Now, let's go bag us a hippie." "Ira Einhorn, I have a Search and Seizure Warrant for this apartment." "Search what?" "Read the warrant, please." "We're searching for any evidence related to the disappearance of Holly Maddux." "I see." "Mind if I get dressed?" "Go right ahead." "Got a key to this lock?" " No." "Sorry." "I'm gonna have to break it." "I suppose so." "I want evidence that this was padlocked and we were forced to break it open." "I'm gonna need some gloves." "I suppose you wouldn't have a key for this trunk in here?" "Well, I guess we found Holly." "You found what you found." "Hello?" "No, Mary's not here." "She's out." "I don't know when she'll be back." "Okay." "Bob, come on in." "Fred..." "Newhouse called me." "Thought it would be better if I told you in person." " They found her didn't they?" "Oh my God!" "In local news, Philadelphia's Hippie Guru," "Ira Einhorn, was arrested today on suspicion of murdering longtime girlfriend Holly Maddux." "A body, believed to be that of missing woman Holly Maddux, was found today in the apartment of local activist Ira Einhorn." "No way." "No way he did it." "Hey, it's the trunk man." "What's up, Ira?" "How you doing, man?" "Hey, check it out!" "You're on the front page, man!" "Yeah." "It's a great likeness, too." "I got top billing over Three Mile Island." "You're the man, Ira." "You're the man." "See ya!" "Thank you." "I'm Arlen Specter." "I'll be representing you." "Yes." "And I'm thrilled." "See, I've read everything ever written on the Kennedy assassination." "Any man who can prove that Kennedy was killed by a magic bullet should have no trouble proving my innocence." "I've arranged for a psychological evaluation." "It's a very good doctor." "He'll be coming by..." "Wait." "You're not thinking of an insanity defense, are you?" "Because I'm quite..." " I'm looking at all the options." "And I'm innocent." "I didn't do this, Mr. Specter." "I was set up." "Just let me do my job." "Okay, Ira?" "Arlen I assume some of my friends have taken care of your retainer?" "You assume correctly." "Wonderful thing, friends." "If you should need anything else, just let me know." "What I need from you, Ira, is for you to do what I say from this point on." "I am your mouth." "I am your brain." "Do we understand each other?" "The Lord is my shepherd." "I shall not want." "He makes me lie down in green pastures." "He leads me beside still waters." "He restoreth my soul." "He leads me in right paths for His name's sake." "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil." "For You are with me." "Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." "You annoint my head with oil." "My cup runneth over." "I guess we should think about a headstone." "No." "A headstone says it's final." "It's not over." "You understand?" "It's not over." "Hello?" " Yeah, is this Fred Maddux?" "It is." "Yes." " David Neiman." "Philadelphia Inquirer." "Wanted to know if you had any reaction to the bail hearing." "What bail hearing?" " Ira Einhorn has the highest level of integrity." "A man I found to be compassionate and loving." "He's known to all of us, the whole community, as a man of non-violence." "A superb teacher." "Open-minded." "Brilliant." "The students loved him." "Because of Ira's intervention, we were able to keep our homeless shelter open." "Ira Einhorn is really a wonderful, wonderful man." "Your Honor, my client is not only an established member of the community, he's an asset to the community." "Ira Einhorn is not a danger to society." "And he is certainly not a flight risk." "In all my years on the bench, I can honestly say I have never seen such passionate testimony to a defendant's character." "Particularly from so many citizens of excellent reputation." "Therefore bail is set at 40,000 dollars." "Ten percent cash must be posted." "It will all be explained in due time." "Could you turn that on, please?" "I don't want to be misquoted." "Thanks, Mitch." "I appreciate you agreeing to an interview so soon." "I mean, you just got out on bail today." "Well, I think it's important for people to hear my side of the story." "Look, I know this is difficult, but can you tell me in your own words, how did Holly's body end up in your apartment?" "Okay." "That's fair enough." "This is the crazy part of the story." "This case is hard enough, Ira." "I do not need this!" "Psychic transmissions, UFO's, CIA." "You want me to get up in court and convince a jury that the CIA killed Holly and put her in a trunk just to discredit you?" "If it's the truth..." " It makes no difference!" "No one's gonna believe that story!" "Look, if I were guilty, this would be a hell of a lot easier." "But since I'm innocent, looks like you'll just have to earn your pay." "Lab report." "No blood." "No bone fragments." "Ira Einhorn's apartment is totally clean." "You forgot your pill." " I didn't forget it, I'm just not taking it." "The doctor said that if you don't take it, the diabetes will become worse." "I don't care what the doctor says." "That stuff knocks me out, makes me tired." "Can't stand that." " Fred, if the circulation in your leg doesn't improve" "I don't want to be a damn zombie." "I got too much to do." "I think you're crazy Ira." " Look, I want to do this." "They're future journalists." " They'll ask a lot of questions." "Trevor, I have nothing to hide." " And although" "Ira here is my friend, I expect you to conduct yourselves the way you would with any other subject." "So here he is, Ira Einhorn." "Tough crowd." "Trevor forgot to mention one thing." "After today's interview, the conclusion, we're gonna conduct a little poll." "You will decide whether or not I'm guilty, alright?" "Now, I'm sensing a little hostility here today." "Perhaps you have a right to be hostile." "I'm a dangerous man." "Since the time most of you were in grade school," "I've been an enemy of the government, because" "I fought against war, poverty, racism, pollution." "So, in that respect, I am dangerous." "And I will continue to be dangerous any chance I get." "So, where shall we start." "Why weren't you more upset when Holly disappeared?" "Well, Holly had disappeared before." "And I was rather cool about it at first." "This man she had been seeing had been putting a lot of pressure on her." "Holly, sadly, had a tendency to pick up other men." "This is the Holly I knew." "She was very unstable." "I have contacts all over the world." "Just a few months ago I was a guest of the" "Yugoslavian government to discuss Psychic Phenomenon." "Which can be even more dangerous than Nuclear weapons." "It was confidential papers such as those that got me into trouble." "Nothing more." "In conclusion, I want to bring up two points." "One." "My apartment showed absolutely no signs of Holly's blood anywhere." "Anywhere." "Now, Holly was brutally beaten." "Her skull was fractured in at least twelve places." "So blood would have been everywhere." "This proves, at least, that she was killed somewhere else." "Secondly, I'm considered" "a reasonably intelligent man." "Now why would I keep her body in apartment for eighteen months." "Why would I let the smell of the body permeate other apartments while I was out of the country on business." "When I could have bought a bag of Lime at the hardware store and covered it up." "Why would I do that?" "Ask yourself that question." "Verdict is in." "Six votes for guilty." "Eighty seven votes for not guilty." "They'll never put me in jail." "Even if the CIA is involved in it alone and can establish reasonable doubt." "What about Holly's parent's?" "As most of you know, I've been the target of right wing attacks many times before." "And Holly's father just happens to be quite prominent in the Texas Ku Klux Klan, even the Neo-Nazi movement." "Is it really that outrageous that I could have been framed?" "I think not." "I just want you to know, well I think you're innocent." "I think you're innocent too." "We dropped them off and then we went home." "How would you describe their relationship?" "Oh, they were in love." "Yes, but." "It was volatile." "Ira is a very passionate person." "But there was never any physical abuse." "No, nothing like that." "Not Ira." " That will be all." "Thanks." "Is that all you need?" " Officially, yea." "But off the record." "He's living at your apartment now?" "Yes, we've always said we have two children." "One dog and Ira." "Doesn't that make you nervous?" "Ira did not murder Holly." "Than how did she end up in that trunk?" "Holly was a diabetic you know, and she wasn't always that careful about the insulin, her eating." "Is this off the record?" " Yeah." "If Ira was guilty of anything, it was loving her too much." "What if she passed out, hit her head on the bathtub?" "And instead of reporting it and losing her forever, he denied it and kept her." "Ira walks on a very different plain than the rest of us." "Let me read you the autopsy report." "No, we don't want to." " A lot of his friends have similar theories." "There were at least ten or twelve fractures." "Though it's almost impossible to make an exact count because the holes in her skull was so huge." "Her lower jaw was driven almost to the base of the brain." "It was struck with such force." "Look." "I can't teach." "No one wants me to lecture." "Their railroading me." "It's all part of their plan to discredit me." "I understand that Ira, your welcome here in my home, but you can't keep coming to my office." "I can't let an accused and that's the word I'm using, accused murdered have the run of my mailroom." "I'm sorry." " I need to get this letter out, Arthur!" "Ira..." " I need to reach people." "I need some help here!" "Okay." "But this is the last time Ira." "I am very conscious of the pain my arrest has brought about." "I am sick at heart at this disruption of the work." "I have created over a period years." "The psychological shock has left me paralyzed." "I feel like a child as if I have lost my home." "I'm faced with a lengthy and expensive court battle and" "I need your financial support, for my life hangs in the balance." "May this soon be over so that once again I might direct all energy towards the transition at hand." "Peace." "Ira." "What do you think?" " Why didn't you mention Holly?" "What's the point?" "What's that?" "Ira Einhorn's journals." " You have to read that whole box?" "The judge is going to allow testimony which will state that you had physically abused Holly." "Now, I had hoped to suppress this, but." "No, I never abused her." "It means nothing." "No Ira, it means a lot." " Their building a very strong case against you." " And the clock Is ticking here." "This trial starts very soon and you've ruled out the insanity defense." "Which leaves us with one option, you plead guilty to manslaughter and we cut a deal." "You'll be out in seven to ten years." "That's out of the question." "Where's Arlen?" "Ira, I'll be representing from now on." "Mr. Specter felt." "Arlen Specter dropped me?" "Well, his plate his rather full right now and to give you the best defense." "I see." "He's running for Senate isn't he?" "This won't lie well with the voters in Scranton will it?" "He thinks we're gonna lose doesn't he?" "As time passes my relations with the opposite sex become more complicated." "More unusual." "I'm sorry." " It's an interesting situation." "I need constant physical contact with women." "But when contact is complete I want to be rid of them." "I'll try harder." "I just." " Just what?" "I mean." "How long do I have to wait." "If you're not willing to experiment I'll find someone who will." "I'm sorry." "You've go a lot to learn." "Any woman can developed into a worthwhile companion." "If she is trained, disciplined." "Sometimes severely." "How is it?" "It's pretty heavy actually." "This guy's got a real problem with women." "Why couldn't we have had a son?" " Hey, don't look at me." "It was your chromosome." "Call it a night." "Alright." "I am the will of the whisp all women wish to conquer." "But since this is impossible." "They move on." "No better." "Some worse for the experience." "So he really said this trial could take a month, huh?" "Well, the more expensive the lawyer, the longer the trial." "Okay, I'm going out." " Eleven o'clock." "No later." "Mom." " You heard him." "Come on daddy." "Other kids get to stay out later." "I don't care about the other kids Eleven o'clock." "That's it." "Okay daddy." "Am I too rough on her?" "Of course not." "You know all I can think about over the last year or so." "The kids, when they were little." "The mistakes." "Holly, being the first." "I know I was rough on her." "I keep thinking, maybe I was..." "Maybe if I hadn't been so..." "Maybe if I'd done things different..." "She might have stayed home and we wouldn't be packing to go to..." "I sometimes feel it's my fault." "I do." "Honey, don't do this to yourself." "Please don't do this." "It will all be over soon." "Of course Specter quit." "I wouldn't be at all surprised if the government pressured him." "You have problems with this thesis Harry?" "Me?" "I'm your friend, but any jury with a brain would definitely rule you guilty." "We'll see." " Well, just remember one thing Ira." "HJK won." " HJK won." "What's that?" "That stands for Harry J. Katz." "Number One." "I figure since you're going to be making license plates soon, I'd put in my order now." "I'm not going to jail Harry." "Specter dropped you because you're going to lose." "Think about it Ira, where are you gonna find a jury of your peers?" "Look in the mirror sometime." "You're a hippie Jew who killed a blonde shiksa cheerleader." "They're gonna fry you my friend." "Ira, are you okay?" "I've never felt better." "For the first time since this nightmare happened," "I've reached a kind of mental clarity." "I have a purpose." "A goal." "I know exactly what I have to do." "#WHERE IS THE UNICORN#" "How the hell did he get away?" "Didn't anybody think to take his passport or would that be too offense for his all mighty friends?" "I'm telling you Fred, this is a waste of time." "You won't get in to see the judge." "I don't want to see him." "I want him to see me." "Are you alright, did you hurt your foot or something?" "Don't worry about me Rich." "You just take care of your job." "I'm sorry sir you can't go into the meeting." " Why not?" "It's only for people directly involved in the case." "My daughter is the victim here Ma'am, I think that makes me directly involved in the case, wouldn't you?" "Mr. DiBenedetto, would you come in please." "Judge, I want to talk to you." " I know who you are Mr. Maddux." "I am sorry." "I hope you're happy with your decision judge." "I hope you sleep nights." "I based my decision on the testimony of some very prominent people." "Now I've got a father out there who wants my head." "And I don't blame him." "Do we have any idea where he is?" "Judge, we know Einhorn landed in London and then we lost him." "We're following every lead we can, but, well, it's not easy trying to find a planetary enzyme, your honor." "A what?" " Planetary enzyme, sir." "It's how the defendant would occasionally refer to himself." "Believe me it's not my choice of words." "Mine either." "Mr. Gelman, warn those prominent character witnesses that if they assist" "Einhorn in any way, they are going to face some very serious charges, understood?" "We know he left from Canada, probably with a suitcase filled with Bronfman money." "Any luck with Mrs. Bronfman?" "Soon-to-be ex Mrs. Bronfman." "They're getting a divorce." "Nobody knows where the hell she is." "Let the old man know that if the wife's in jail for aiding and abetting." "He'll get a break on the alimony." "Maybe he'll turn her in." "He's traveled all through Europe over the years." "But he's only fluent in English." "Einhorn likes to talk too much, not to be some place where he can." "You don't need a passport to get from England to Ireland." "Ireland doesn't have an extradition treaty with us." "It's all done case by case." "A buck says he's in Ireland." "Yes." " May I help you?" " Yes, we've come about the room." "Please come in." "Thank you." "Will you please stop doing that?" "Why did you have to give them your real name?" "Because I don't want to be anybody else." "So, how are you doing?" "I'm good." "Real good." "When are they letting you out?" " Soon." "Damn leg kept giving me a problem." "But you're okay?" " Oh yeah, I'm just fine Rich." "Now you don't worry about me." "You've got enough to worry about." "Ira, I was wondering if I could ask a wee favor?" "Certainly." "We're taking a trip over to the states next week." "I have a conference in Chicago and we'd like you to take care of the dog for us." "No, no problem." "How long you gonna be gone?" " A couple of weeks." "May take a little side trip over to Philadelphia while we're there." "Listen, we better talk." "So because of my anti-nuclear duties." "They trumped up some charges." "Nothing serious, trespassing, destruction of public property." "That sort of thing." "I'd rather not be harassed, if you know what I mean." "So I'd like it if you didn't mention it to anyone that I'm staying here." "The FBI appreciates your cooperation Mr. Weaire." "Yes, that's him." "Oh, sweet Jesus Dennis, we left the dog with him." "Notify the State Department." "It's in their hands now." "Don't worry they'll take care of it." "You've been gone all day." "I missed you." "I'm getting my things now Ira." "I'm leaving." "Oh really." "Get out of my way." "No." "We can just talk." "No we don't." "Get out of my way." "Hey, welcome home, Roey is a wonderful companion." "We're just dropping off our bags." "Collette's not well." "We're gonna pop over." "He's a murderer." " I know Mr. Weaire." "I've been in contact with the FBI." "But I got no standard to arrest him." "I can't even hold him." "Not until I get words from above." "Which should be any day now." "What are we supposed to do?" "If I were you, I'd get him out of my house." "Get out of my house." "Bye daddy." "You have a good afternoon." " Yes, thank you, honey." "Meg are you there?" "Come here a second please." "Well, they're gonna put me in the hospital again next week." "Mom told me." "And don't know why they want to cut me open again" "Just a waste of time, not gonna do any good." "Well the doctors say it might." "Doctors..." "I'm sick of what the doctor's are saying." "I'm sick of just sitting here." "It's about all I can do anymore." "I want you to do something for me." "Of course." "When I burried your sister, I said I would not put a tombstone on her grave until this nightmare's over." "I remember." " That's good because it may take longer than all of us expected and I may not be here." "Don't let them forget her." "Don't let them give up on her." "Don't let them put her file on some shelf and not do anything." "Don't you worry about that." "Promise?" "I promise." "Hey, why don't you let me stay here with you this afternoon?" "Get out of here." "I can't watch a football game with women, you know that." "Get out of here." " I love you daddy." "I love you too." "Even if we don't find him, we may not have a case." "It's just been too long." "Witnesses start dying." "Evidence is gonna weaken." "That's why I wanted to talk to you Meg." "We've got to do something now, before it all goes down the toilet." "Like what?" "A trial in absentia." "Well, what's the point, trying him when he's not here?" "When he's found guilty and I'm pretty sure he will be." "It means that when we get him back here." "He goes right to jail." "No bail, no nothing, and he can't run again." "Is this whole thing a waste of time." "Because our parents told us to respect the government." "But the government's doing nothing but screw us all over and cause us all a lot of pain." "All I can tell you is I've pursued every avenue I can." "Is this the best option?" "Maybe not, but it's all I've got right now." "And I can't go ahead without you and your family on board." "Yeah, all that's left of my family." "You know mom died about a year after dad." "I used to think this thing was some sort of a nightmare." "But it's worse." "Nightmare, you eventually wake up from." "It just keeps going on." "My parents didn't even live to see it end." "But I sure intend to." "If you ever get homesick just look out the window." "Right down there is your American embassy." "Anika, come here and look at this." "A little touch of home." "My first motion is to bar this trial in absentia because of the serious problems involved in trying a person who's never been notified of the trial date." "If Mr. Gelman knows the whereabouts of is client," "I can sure you we will notify Mr. Einhorn of this trial." "Are you Mr. Madlin, the tutor?" " Yes." "I was wondering would you work with my daughter?" "Why certainly." "Ladies and gentleman, on a rainy Spring night," "Holly Maddux told Ira Einhorn that she was leaving." "The years of mental and physical abuse had taken their toll and Holly was trying to embark on a new life." "But no woman ever walked out on Ira Einhorn." "But Holly Maddux tried and that's what killed her." "Ira Einhorn didn't just hit her." "He pummeled Holly Maddux with a blunt heavy object." "At least a dozen times." "Leaving holes in Holly's skull, the size of silver dollars." "But Holly didn't die right away." "She was probably still alive when" "Ira Einhorn sealed her in his trunk." "Why did he keep the body?" "That's the compelling question here." "But the answer is simple," "Ira Einhorn believes that he is smarter than all of us." "By keeping her body, Ira Einhorn was laughing at us." "He still is." "To kill what you love, when you can't have it is a very natural thing." "Ira Einhorn whispered those words to Rita Siegel after he attacked her." "He believes it, but he was wrong." "Because the only person that Ira Einhorn ever loved was Ira Einhorn." "We find the defendant, Ira Einhorn, guilty of murder in the first degree." "Thank you." "I'm sorry, but I won't be happy until I see that bastard in cuffs and on his way to jail." "Than I'll smile and I'll laugh right in his face." "Dennis, it's Ira." "How dare you come back to Ireland." "Are you insane?" "Leave me alone." " I'm calling the police." "He left this afternoon." "#SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE#" "Thanks." "And that's everything." "I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to risk losing you." "I love you so much, Anika." "You're part of my soue." "Look at me." "Do you honestly believe that I could ever hurt another human being?" "No, you could never do that." "Will you marry me?" "Yes." "Really?" " Yes." "We need people to see this all over the world." "Are you sure they're going to see it overseas?" "All over Europe and most of Asia." "Okay now I don't want to just focus on Ira." "I think your family story is very important." "There's some fascinating stuff here." "Your father's affiliation with the American Nazi Party." "What?" "What did you just say?" "Get the hell out of here." "People have been lying about daddy since this whole thing started." "Calm down." "Would you excuse us for one minute." "It's got to help." " It'll get the story out there." "It'll get his picture smeared over the world." "It might just stir things up." " I'm just so sick of people lying about daddy." "Well, we all are." "But this is a chance for us to try and get the truth out there." "So what do we say?" "We need the publicity Buffy, it's all we got left." "What do you say, we all have to agree on this?" "Fine." " Okay." "Not one person in this town on my intellectual plane." "He said you got into an argument over a Bridge game." "You know how frustrating that is." "He said you broke a table and threatened to hit him." "Is that what he said?" "No." "The French are famous for their ability to exaggerate." "Look, we had a terse discussion, but I certainly didn't resort to any violence." "I'm afraid our friends are particularly like Americans." "You don't believe him do you?" "Do you?" " No, course not." "I can't take it here much more." "It's just us up here all the time." "The library's a joke." "Now I can't even go into town with somebody spreading lies about me." "I just can't take it." "It's killing me." "I gotta get out." "We know Ira married Anika Flodin in 1995." "Then he mentioned of Anika Flodin and Interlope was immediately notified." "She went to renew her driver's license." "And there she was, living with her American husband in the south of France." "We can't afford to send you" " I've worked a long time on this case." "My daughter was in diapers when I started." "We can't afford trips to France." "Let the French handle it." "I am not Ira Einhorn." "Hello Ira." "It's been a long time." "Well, it's been a long long time, but hopefully that's all over now." "Did you ever think they'd find him?" " Yes." "Yes I did." "I don't think God would be that cruel to us or Holly." "I just wish my parents could have been around to see this." "When you told me that they found him, you should have seen my bosses face cause I dropped everything and ran right out of there." "What time is it supposed to be on John?" " Should be any minute." "That's it." "Meg, get in here, it's on!" "Excuse me!" "It's on." "What's up?" "Spit it out." "I just keep hoping that someday, I can finally think about Holly and not get so angry." "I mean even when I think about the good times I just get so damn mad." "And now that they got him, I want to start having happy memories again I guess." "You know what?" " What?" "I think it's time to buy her headstone." "Yeah." "We are going to fight every attempt to extradite Ira Einhorn because of due process violations during the trial and sentencing in absentia." "The man did not get a chance to defend himself." "European courts do not like trials by absentia." "Even Nazi war criminals were not subjected to this treatment." "Adolph Eichmann was brought back for his trial." "You know honey it's times like these that I understand why everyone hates lawyers." "My son is innocent." "Maybe finally we can get to the bottom of this and find out who really killed poor Holly." "A fugitive forfeits his right to appeal." "Once you're tried in absentia that's it." "I know the statute Rich." " That's what his lawyer's gonna try to nail us on." "Do the French have trials in absentia?" " Yes, but over there it's different." "I looked it up last night." "If the person is caught, he gets the right to another trial." "They're going to argue that according to Pennsylvania law, he doesn't get another trial." " We will also bring to the court's attention, the fact that you are sentenced to life in prison without parole." "Our government does not recognize a sentence that does not allow for" "This is fine." "But have you read the paper's I've sent you." "Because it clearly shows a sign of conspiracy against me, see." "I set up a network and we became in possession of documents and these documents clearly showed" "Ira." "No one wants to hear this story again." "This story, as you call it, happens to be vital to my defense." "No, it is not." "This is just a fairytale that no one believes but you and you will not tell it to the courtroom." "So what happens now?" "If it makes you feel any better, the French have him on probation for entering the country under false pretenses." "He has to check in with the local police twice a week and he can't leave the province." "He's been shunned in the village." "They don't like having a murdered in the neighborhood and they take every chance to let him know." "You know what the best part of it is?" "He knows we're never gonna give up." "Deep down, he knows we're gonna get him." "Be honest Rich." "How does it look?" "I don't know Meg." "At this point, I'm just a consultant for the State Department." "You be sure and let me know if you hear anything." "Especially if it's bad news cause I want to tell them in person." "Well let's hope that doesn't happen." " Yes, let's hope." "The fact that Mr. Einhorn will never be given another trial is against the very fiber of French law." "A life sentence without chance for parole is both inhumane and degrading." "But what can we expect from a country that has become so barbaric that death sentences are handed to children and the mentally handicapped." "It's not gonna ring any faster with you staring at it Buffy." "Yeah, I know." "But I can't help it." "What time is it over there now." "Breakfast." "They will send him back, won't they Meg?" "And due to the fact that there is no legal recourse awaiting you in America, we cannot, according to French law, extradite you." "You have made a just decision." "I am a peaceful man." "My whole life has been dedicated to making sure this planet remained a peaceful place." "Holly." "Oh, there you are." "Come on Holly." "What you got there, a flower for mommy?" "Come here." "Hello." "Did you pick me some flowers did you?" "She likes flowers like her auntie does." "Don't you worry Holly, we're not giving up." "We'll never give up." "There you go Meg." "Let's go." "Happy Birthday Holly." "Who wants to go to Aunt Mary's house and have some cake?" "I do."
