Well, well, look who finally decided to wake up.
Joe...
Where are we?
What is this place?
What do you mean, what is this place?
This is our bedroom.
You're in our bed.
Come on, hurry up, 'cause I got to meet Terry at 10:00.
Are you wearing tennis whites?
Yes, I'm wearing tennis whites.
Those are the rules at the club.
Come on. Come on.
Girls got their riding lessons
in 45 minutes.
Joe, I don't know what's going on here.
But this is not our house.
What are you talking about?
This is our house. Of course it's our house.
I'll show you the deed if you don't believe me.
Damn!
I know how to live.
Dad, I think the heater in the pool's broken.
We have a pool?
Of course we have a pool.
How else would we go swimming every day?
Are you okay, Mom?
Yeah, I-I guess so.
Actually, I think I'm... I'm great.
This place is amazing.
It's everything we ever wanted.
What's back there?
Well, let me guess.
It's maid's quarters? JOE: Hey, Allison.
Allison, hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?
What do you mean? I'm checking out my house.
Okay, that's fine.
But we don't go in that room.
You know that.
Oh, come on, everybody.
Lighten up. It's just a room.
Mom, we're not allowed to go in there.
Not ever. That's the deal, remember?
"Deal"? What deal?
This is our house, isn't it?
This is our room. Allison!
Ariel: mom!

JOE: "Roof is to house
as summit is to..."
Mountain? Good.
"Composer is to melody as author is to..."
Uh, book.
Excellent. BRIDGETTE: That is the dumbest
question I have ever heard.
What's that supposed to teach you?
"If you're looking for a melody, don't look in a book"?
I don't get it.
It's an analogy.
It's not supposed to teach you anything.
It tests your understanding of language.
And Daddy's helping me get ready for the PSATs.
What's that? It's a test.
Okay, and if I do well enough,
that means I might get into a good college,
which means I can move far away and never see you again.
So, please, leave me alone so I can practice.
Hey.
Any chance you could take the girls in today?
Lee just called me. He wants me to meet him at Fountain Hills.
Yeah.
Hello?
WOMAN: May I speak with Allison Dubois?
Well, may I ask who's calling?
My name is Caitlyn Lynch.
I'm with the Lydecker Corporation.
I know this is going to sound kind of
out of the blue, but I've been tracking
your career for some time now.
I was wondering if it might be possible
to set up a meeting with you to discuss
a potential business opportunity.
Uh, what kind of "business opportunity"?
Well, I'd really prefer to discuss that with you in person.
I actually have an opening in my schedule at 1:00 today.
Is there any possibility we could meet for lunch?
Lunch today? I don't think so. I'm working.
Well, I'm happy to come to you.
I was thinking we could meet at Firmament.
"Firmament"?
Well, that's very nice of you, but don't think I can meet you
for lunch today at Firmament.
Is there a day that might be better?
Uh...
I don't think so.
You know, I really have to get going, uh, Caitlyn,
but thank you for thinking of me.
You just turned down lunch at Firmament?
That's the hottest place in town.
Who wanted to take you there?
I don't know. Some woman from the Lydecker Corporation.
She wanted to talk to me about a "business opportunity."
The Lydecker Corporation?
Don't they make everything?
Maybe you should hear what she has to say.
No, I don't think so.
She probably read about me in the papers last year,
wants to hire me for some kind of "private reading."
You know I'm not really interested
in that kind of thing.
I don't know, for a lunch at Firmament,
maybe you could feign a little interest.
Her name's Autumn Colville.
She's a paralegal who works downtown.
Her mother reported her missing yesterday.
Autumn's car is still parked in her parking spot.
Her parents found groceries, still in their bags,
melting on her kitchen counter, so I think it's highly likely
that she was abducted from her apartment.
Autumn's mom said we're welcome
to do another walk-through.
Tell me if you can see anything.
Sure, of course.
I just hope I can be of some kind of help.
Oh, my God...
What's the matter?
Oh, the blood.
And that corpse.
What corpse?
She was right there.
Autumn Colville.
She was lying right there, dead.
And her eyes...
Somebody had taken her eyes.
We've been through
this place a few times; there's been no evidence
to suggest that kind of violence occurred here.
I mean, look at the place.
Well, I saw it.
Who's to say that the killer didn't clean up
after himself?
Well, I guess we'll get
the crime scene boys to come back, take another look.
Thank you.
T-minus 13 days and counting.
You ready? I don't know.
I've been taking practice tests,
but I have to find a way to get my verbal up.
I'm thinking about asking permission
to come to school on Saturday.
Sit in an empty classroom and just take a simulated test.
So I know what it's gonna feel like on the day of the real one, you know?
Seriously? Yeah, why not?
GIRL: Ariel!
Ashley!
Did you guys hear the news?
What news? What's going on?
Do you remember Stacey Anne Burrows?
Yeah, she transferred to Holy Child
after junior high. Why?
She died yesterday. What?
Her parents got her a car for her 16th birthday.
And she rolled it yesterday on her way home from school.
Landed upside-down in a ravine.
You know what the creepiest part is?
The crash didn't kill her.
Her car filled up with water and she drowned.
WOMAN: Allison Dubois?
Hi. Do I know you?
No. But I know all about you.
I'm Caitlyn Lynch.
We spoke this morning.
Right. Hi.
Sorry to ambush you like this,
but I don't know if I was able
to get my point across to you on the phone.
No, I think you were perfectly clear.
Um, but frankly,
private readings, things like that I...
Wait. Wait a second. Is that...?
Is that what you thought I was calling about?
A private reading?
Let me, let me explain who I am, what I do.
I'm what
people refer to as a "corporate intuitionist."
That a job title you've heard before?
Like you, I sense things.
See things, for a living.
But while you use your gifts in the public sector,
I'm under contract to a multinational corporation.
Wait a second. You're a...?
Psychic?
Well, my official title is
Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy.
But, yes, I've developed a reputation for being...
sensitive to business trends.
The success or failure of products in development.
Shifts in public appetite.
It's brought me a lot of money.
The man I work for,
Mr. Lydecker, is a great believer
in unconventional
thinking when it comes to business.
He's a leader, not a follower.
And he and I were wondering if we could possibly
entice you into coming and working with us.
You're offering me a job?
Uh...
Well, that's... that's very flattering,
but I genuinely like what I'm doing now,
what I'm doing here.
And besides, I-I don't know anything about products
or trends or appetites.
Believe me, I didn't start out
dreaming about market shortfalls,
or, or impulse buys based on psychographic data.
But I do now.
And you will, too.
Think about it.
Obviously, we're talking about a high six-figure salary.
Discuss it with your husband.
If you're intrigued, give me a call.
And what did you say? I didn't say anything.
I didn't really get a chance.
She told me to call her if I was interested.
Well, you are interested, aren't you?
I don't know.
I guess I'm intrigued.
That's the word she kept using-- "intrigued."
What exactly does it mean when they say
"high six figures"?
It means you need to call her tomorrow.
You need to find out what this is all about.
I didn't even know people like me worked for big corporations.
This woman Caitlyn said she spots trends.
I don't know anything about trends.
Come on. Don't do that.
Don't do what? What am I doing?
You're just doing this "aw, shucks" thing.
Don't do that "aw, shucks" thing.
Look, I'd just like to see you acknowledge the fact
that you're very good at what you do.
And an enormous corporation has taken notice of that.
And according to this Caitlyn woman,
they're willing to pay you
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to do it for them.
I think you need to take this seriously.
I think you need to call this woman.
If you don't like what you hear, then fine.
But you owe it to yourself, to the kids, to me
to at least give it a listen.
Sir, I'm sorry to bother you.
Oh, hey, you must have read my mind.
Really, what did it say?
I'm sorry. You came to see me.
Yes, um, I need to take a little personal time this afternoon.
I know it's short notice, but...
Nah, that's all right.
I have to be in court most of the day anyway.
Truth is, I probably wouldn't have even noticed you were gone
if you hadn't told me, so thanks for the heads-up.
You, uh, you want to walk with me?
So after you called me last night,
I had the team go and dredge beneath the MacArthur Bridge.
Scanlon just called.
They found the remains of Autumn Colville.
In three separate duffle bags.
Oh, my God.
Well, that's not all.
There were several more duffel bags down there.
When they opened them up,
they found the butchered body parts
of two more girls.
And their eyes were missing as well.
Looks like we got ourselves a serial killer.
Do whatever it is you need to do.
I'll find you if I need you.
And stop looking so guilty.
Everybody takes a little personal time now and then.
Hi. My name's Allison Dubois.
I'm here to see Caitlyn Lynch.
Allison?
I'm so pleased you decided to come by.
Maybe I could work in the lobby.
Well, if you're up for it,
I thought maybe you could sit in on my 2:00.
Get a feel for the kind of work you'll be doing here
if you decide to take us up on our offer. That would be great.
Terrific.
And don't look so nervous.
Like your boss said,
everybody takes a little personal time now and then.
Oh, my God.
Stacey Anne?
Is that you?
WOMAN: Wherever you are, with live video chatting on the L-Phone,
you never have to miss a meeting.
Whether your traveling,
working from home, or just somewhere else,
the L-Phone makes your presence felt.
The all-new L-Phone from Lydecker:
Changing the way we communicate one face at a time.
I'm sorry.
I don't think it works.
Everything is aimed squarely
at upwardly mobile people on the go.
Overachievers with a lot
of disposable income.
But that's not who's going to buy this phone.
Well, Caitlyn, it's a $900 cell phone.
Now granted, it's a $900 cell phone with video chat,
but still, a $900 phone.
Who do you suggest we sell it to?
Or more importantly, who do you think is going to buy it?
Kids.
I know what you're thinking.
Video chatting is all the rage right now.
Nobody even buys a computer unless it's vid chat-capable.
But here's the thing.
Grownups are going to realize
that they don't want to be seen by other grownups
unless it's absolutely necessary.
They're not going to want to have to put on clothes,
check their makeup,
put out the cigarette they're not even supposed to be smoking
just for a simple phone conversation.
Teenagers, on the other hand, love to be seen.
They erect virtual monuments to themselves
on social networking sites.
This phone is for them-- not us.
You're sure about that?
Of course I'm sure, Ted.
I dreamt it.
So...?
So, it's very impressive.
You're very impressive.
This office, the salary, all of it,
but that meeting-- I don't know if I could do that.
I do. I'm certain of it.
Besides, those meetings are
a relatively small part of the job.
Most of my work is done right here,
in this chair, actually.
What do you mean?
Please.
Twice a day, I take two hours of contemplation time.
Which is a fancy way of saying
that I lay in that chair, shut my eyes
and dream about the future of Lydecker.
I'm having one made just for you.
Why?
What kind of question is that?
No, I appreciate your confidence. I do.
I just don't understand why this company
would want to invest in me when they already have you.
Lydecker is a multi-national conglomerate
with branches all over the world.
I'm good, Allison.
Better than good.
But I'm still just one woman.
Even I can't keep track of everything.
That's a lot to think about.
I don't know what to say.
How about "Yes," and you'll start on Monday.
Monday?
I don't think I could do that.
I've worked for the District Attorney's Office for years.
I feel like I'd need to give them some notice.
Allison, I respect your loyalty,
but Lydecker has just made you an offer
that will completely change your life.
I think it's safe to say
that the company has taken a big step in your direction.
If you want this job,
you're going to have to take a step towards us.
MAN: Sorry to interrupt, Ms. Lynch.
Mr. Lydecker is on the phone from Tokyo. Thanks, Donald.
I'm sorry. I've got to take this.
Allison, it's a lot to digest.
Why don't you take until the end of the week.
But by Friday, I'm going to need your answer.
Yes?
JOE: According to my calculations, this time next week,
you will be making one dollar for every star that I see.
Hmm.
No, wait a second. Scratch that.
Make that two dollars.
Well, I haven't said yes yet.
I mean, that woman Caitlyn said that the hours
are gonna be long, unpredictable,
that I won't be able to be home as much,
pick the girls up from school anymore.
: We can make that work.
How?
Ariel's gonna be 16 in, like, a minute.
You think if we got her a car, she wouldn't be willing
to play chauffeur for her sisters?
Well, I don't know if I want to do that to her.
And what about Mr. Devalos?
He's probably an excellent driver,
but I doubt he'd be interested in driving the girls.
He's been so good to me.
Because he likes you.
And he's gonna want this for you.
He's your friend, right?
So ask him, get his advice.
If you're honestly worried about how
this decision is gonna affect him,
I say make him a part of it.
ASHLEY: Time.
Time's up. Time to trade and grade our practice tests.
But I didn't answer the last five questions.
You're kidding me.
You always answer all the questions,
even if you have to guess.
Hey, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You want to talk about it?
I really don't think you'd understand.
Is this about Stacey Anne?
I've been thinking about her a lot, too.
I mean... we knew her,
and now she's dead.
It's kind of a lot.
I tried studying last night, and I couldn't.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get focused.
Can you keep a secret?
I used to have problems concentrating.
Like, I'd get worked up over stuff.
My doctor
gave me these.
Paroxetine?
Yeah, he told my parents
I have a mild anxiety disorder.
I mean, I started taking those, and now I get "A"s.
No one knows about this, Ariel.
No one. I mean, I'm only telling you
'cause you're my best friend.
So, do you want to try one, see if it helps?
But I don't have an anxiety disorder.
How do you know?
I mean, it sounds like you have anxiety.
Okay. Maybe just one.
DEVALOS: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
I'm afraid that it gives me no pleasure at all
to talk to you this afternoon.
As you know, the defendant has served our municipality
as city controller for more than 12 years now...
: How's it going?
Oh, great. He's just about done.
The judge is gonna call lunch recess any minute.
Well, I need to talk to him.
Will you tell him I'll be waiting outside? Yeah.
I don't want to leave. I really don't.
I just don't know how I could pass this up.
Sir, you're not saying anything.
Sorry, I was thinking about my stock portfolio.
I have a small position in the Lydecker Corporation,
and... I'm thinking now might be a good time to double it.
So you're saying I should take it.
How do you not take it?
I wish I could tempt you with a counteroffer,
but this is a city office; the numbers
that you're talking about, the benefits,
: the governor doesn't make that much.
Look, uh...
as sad as I'm gonna be to see you go, and...
: as valuable as you are,
you're talking about your family's future here.
I... I don't see how you can leave that on the table.
: They want me to start right away.
In fact, they're insisting that I start on Monday.
But... leaving you while we're in the middle
of this whole serial killer thing, I... Allison,
I admire your dedication, but believe it or not,
we used to catch criminals before you came to work for us,
and I'm betting that we can keep on catching 'em
once you're gone.
But, uh...
damn, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you.
That doesn't mean I can't pick up the phone and give you a...
a call from... from time to time,
right? You better.
I'm home!
What's going on? What's all this stuff?
Hi, Mom! I've got presents.
Caitlyn Lynch and the people at Lydecker sent them over.
We love Lydecker! We love Lydecker!
Oh, man, I hope I'm doing the right thing.
Well, if it makes you
feel any better, they certainly send nice gifts.
I'm not psychic, but I know what you're thinking.
Just because good things are happening for you,
just because good things are happening for us
does not necessarily mean that there are bad things
right around the corner.
It doesn't?
Why aren't you entitled to a nice job? Huh?
Working with people who want to pay you well
and treat you like you're special, which you are.
Huh? Why? Come on.
You be happy for you; I'm happy for you.
You deserve it. Now you be happy for you.
Now, come on. Get up off that bed.
Let's round up the girls, and let's go celebrate.
Yeah, I'm talking,
let's go crazy.
Crazy. Let's order appetizers and desserts.
Yeah, I'm talking... I'm talking valet the car.
Whew! I don't know if I can handle this.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm talking let's lose our minds.
I'm-I'm gonna throw caution to the wind.
I might even... I might even draw on the place mat, with crayons.
Girls, your father's starting to scare me!
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah...
SCANLON: Knock, knock.
I got you an appointment at 1:30
to sit with the new imaging software guy,
see if the two of you can work up a computer image of this guy
you dreamed was cleaning up Autumn Colville's apartment.
Oh, great. Thanks.
Hey, I saw your baby mama yesterday in court.
She looks great.
Yeah, getting riper by the day.
Packing up, huh?
So the rumor I heard was true.
So Devalos told you, huh?
I'm sorry, Lee. I wanted to tell you myself.
I just wanted to make sure it was official.
I'm supposed to go over there and sign some contracts
this afternoon. Heard they were backing up a Brink's truck to your place.
Something like that.
Well, I know it's not the last time we're gonna
see each other or anything, but I want you to know...
I'm gonna miss working with you.
Me, too.
So?
So what?
The P-I-L-L, stupid. Did it help?
Honestly, I kind of forgot I even took it.
You're kidding me.
I mean, as far as I can tell, it didn't do anything to me.
I didn't feel any different.
I guess I did get a lot of studying done when I got home from school.
The Paroxetine totally helps.
I don't know. Maybe.
Well, did you stop thinking about Stacey Anne?
Yeah. She didn't really give me a reason to think about her.
Uh, library after school?
Okay.
Ariel Dubois.
You're not supposed to be in this class until third period.
Sorry, Mr. Parker. I got a little turned around.
I think I know where I'm going now.
Okay, last chance.
You know, I'm really not the superstar that you think I am.
I'm wrong almost as often as I am right.
Allison, if you actually bat anywhere near .500,
everyone here will be deliriously happy.
Okay, so first order of business.
I remember reading that your insights often come
to you in your dreams.
Is that true?
Well, not all the time,
but certainly a lot of what I see comes to me in my sleep.
What's this?
That is your new file cabinet.
Your company hard drive.
I want you to write
all your dreams in it,
all your impressions.
The ones that come to you at night,
the ones that come to you during the day.
I want you to log them in that book.
Even if you think they have nothing to do
with Lydecker, I want you to make a note of that.
You sure about "everything"?
That's a lot to write down.
That's gonna be a lot to sort through.
Allison, we have just agreed to pay a small fortune
for the contents of your head.
We certainly don't want to miss anything
that might pass through it.
Ooh, ah...
Sorry.
Oh, it's my boss.
It's my, my other boss.
My, my current boss.
Hello?
Allison, I hope I haven't gotten you at a bad time,
but apparently Human Resources needs you to sign some forms
and surrender your I.D.'s and parking pass
before I can put through the requisition
for your final paycheck,
so I just wanted to make sure you were, in fact,
coming back today.
Oh, absolutely. I still have people I need
to say good-bye to.
Um, I should
be there around 4:00.
Fine. Just, I probably won't see you, so, uh, leave the pass,
your keys, all that stuff in your top drawer,
and I'll leave all the things
you need to sign on your desk, okay?
Gotta run. Due in court.
Uh, bye.
Welcome to the Lydecker Corporation, Allison.
I think you're going to be very happy here.
ALL: Surprise!
Ah!
MAN: Yeah! Whoo!
Lynn's sorry she couldn't make it.
She had some doctor thing.
Oh, you guys have it so easy.
All you have to do is be born.
You don't have to do any of the bearing.
I don't want to hear it.
I didn't write the rules.
That was so great. I had no clue, none.
DEVALOS: I heard that.
It's because I'm a master party planner.
A master surprise party planner, an M.S.P.P.
Oh, we're gonna miss you.
Come on. Don't be ridiculous.
You guys are my friends.
I'm gonna call you. You're gonna call me.
Nothing's gonna change.
Yeah, except you're gonna be doing really, really well.
You probably won't even want to hang around
your poor friends.
Yeah, but that's okay.
We'll just drive by your big, new house, wave.
Give the butler notes to give to you.
That's if we can get in the gate. Yeah.
Well, this is nice.
Now that I'm leaving, you guys are gonna hook up
and make a little comedy team. Keep each other company.
She is psychic.
Hate to quip and run, but I'm a busy boy.
I'm sorry I can't say anything serious
'cause I can't seriously believe you're going.
Besides that, duty calls.
Thanks to you and your damn dreams,
a couple of us detectives have to go canvass the neighborhoods
around each of the victims' apartments tonight.
I feel so bad for you.
Maybe I'll go up to my new 30th-floor office
with the big windows,
and I'll look down and see you canvassing.
Touché. That's it. I'm going.
There's my ride.
Allison Dubois, I'd like to introduce
to you to the lead detective on the Autumn Colville case,
Detective Brad Auerbach.
The famous Allison Dubois.
It's nice to meet you.
Sorry to hear you're moving on.
We can use all the help we can get
to figure out who's killing those girls.
I'm telling you, that's the same man,
the one that I saw in my dream,
the one that I saw in Autumn Colville's apartment.
Tell me you don't see it.
Sure, I see it. So what?
"So what"? What do you mean, "so what"?
Allison, you're talking
about Detective Brad Auerbach.
There's no way he killed those women.
That man's been on the force for 20 years.
He's got more commendations than I can count.
He trained me when I got out of the academy.
Now, does Brad look like the guy
in this sketch? Yeah, sure.
Truth be told, he and I had
a pretty good laugh about it earlier today.
But if you're telling me that's supposed to be Brad...
Lee, that is the man I saw, and I'm sure of it.
I don't know what to say.
Maybe, uh, you know, maybe you had
a little too much champagne in there.
Maybe between that
and everything you've had on in your head this week,
maybe you got your wires crossed.
Oh, so that's it? That's my good-bye?
"Maybe you got your wires crossed"?
What do you want me to do?
I'm not gonna
interrogate the senior detective on the case.
I can't!
Let's not do this.
Not today.
You got too much to celebrate.
I got too much to do.
You go.
Make lots of money.
I got this from here, okay?
I promise I'll let you know how it all works out.
ASHLEY: Hey, remind me:
"irregardless." Word or not a word?
Not a word, I think.
Hey, Ash, can I ask you something?
That pill you gave me the other day?
It turns out you were right.
It really did help me.
Think you could spare any more?
JOE: Okay, well,
he didn't listen to you.
Or maybe he just couldn't hear you.
Maybe he couldn't allow himself to hear you.
On the other hand, you gotta feel better
about your decision to leave that place, right?
I mean, this time next week,
if you tell the people at Lydecker
that Godzilla is gonna rise up out of the ocean
and stomp his way towards Phoenix,
they're gonna start mobilizing the National Guard.
By next week, I'll be helping
the people at Lydecker decide whether the cover
of their annual report should be blue or periwinkle.
But tonight, right now,
I'm worried about stopping a murderer.
I get it.
But you gotta remember, Scanlon and Devalos
are good at what they do.
They are. They're gonna find this guy.
And in the meantime, get excited.
Come on!
You're about to start a new job.
They're gonna be paying you money
for writing down your dreams in a book.
It's more money than either of us
have ever made in our entire lives.
I know, but what if I'm right?
What if this detective really is the killer?
And how are Devalos and Scanlon ever gonna catch him
when he's the one heading up the investigation?
Look, you're not gonna like it, but I got
the same answer to all three questions:
It's not your problem anymore.
Hey, this is Monica.
You missed me, but if you leave your name and number,
I'll call you right back.
You okay?
No, no, no, I'm fine.
I just gotta call Lee.
Lee? Why?
You don't work for those guys anymore.
Aren't you supposed to be writing your dreams
down in a journal
instead of calling people in the middle of the night?
Shh-shh-shh.
Scanlon.
Lee, it's me. I just had another dream.
I think it happened again. Another murder.
Allison...
I don't know where, but I know the girl's first name was...
Monica. Dead girl's name is Monica Dobbs.
I'm standing in her house right now.
Her boyfriend got back early from a business trip.
Came over to surprise her. He's the one who found the body.
The scene's a mess.
We think the boyfriend probably scared the killer off
before he could tidy up like he usually does.
: You need to find Detective Auerbach.
You need to bring him in right away.
It wasn't him, Allison.
You don't know that!
Actually, I do.
I've been with him all night
since the moment we left your party until right now.
And the medical examiner tells us
the girl was killed about 90 minutes ago,
so I don't know what you think you saw in your dream,
but you're wrong.
Brad Auerbach didn't do this. He didn't do any of it.
He couldn't have.
