- Again?

- Yes.

I mean, no, I...

He was trying before,

but this time I got away.

But I-I didn't have time

to grab my clothes

and my driver's license

is in my pocket.

Ma'am, are you under

the influence of alcohol

or any other controlled substance?

No! That is

what I am trying to...

Wait.

If I am, does that mean

that you're going to arrest me

and lock me in a jail cell?

That's how it usually works.

I'm drunk.

- You are?

- Wasted.

And I'm high.

You know, pills, weed.

You name it, man,

I'm on it.

Um, well...

Then I'm gonna put you

under arrest.

That's a good idea.

Let me help you.

Uh, all right.

Never been arrested before.

Uh-huh.

Thank you!

All units who have got a way

to 78 University Hospital,

Suspect is...

Sh*t.

Oh, God, get me out!

Get me out, get me out!

What do you want?!

Why are you

doing this to me?

Who are you?

Show your face, you p*ssy!

Where are you going?

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, f***.

Oh, hey. You're up.

Silence!

Yeah, it's my birthday

And now you gotta

pick up the phone

What, you've been here before?

Hey, uh, you know, I don't think you

should be taking that many...

I mean you could...

you could die.

If only it were that easy.

Water, por favor, mhm.

Dude, did you hit that...

Hi, I'm the so-called

"fine vagine".

If that's the way

you refer to girls,

you and your hand

are going to have

a very lasting relationship.

Have a nice day.

What?

I mean, are you-you always

this charming in the morning?

Just this one.

So, you having a bad dream

or something?

Sorry?

You were just screamin'

before you woke up.

Well... I was dying.

Again.

What?

Uh, it's a long story.

Well, I mean,

I got, you know, time.

I'm not doing

anything today if you wanna.

Seriously.

I hate this sticker.

Hey, wait!

Why are you following me?

I wanna hear your story.

Look, no offense,

but the last time

I explained it to you,

it got me nowhere. So.

The last time?

Hey.

So you-you're having bad dreams.

I took an elective course on

neurocognition and dream content.

Hooray for you.

I'm just saying, I...

I might be able to help,

you know.

Can you help me stop

reliving the same day

over and over

only to be murdered

by someone I may

or may not know?

Yup. Thought so.

Stop global warming?

So, wait, you literally think

you're reliving the same day?

Yup.

And somebody kills you?

Yup again.

All right, come on, you're

just messin' with me, right?

Sprinklers.

Car alarm.

Now, see that

pledge over there,

the one in the baseball hat?

He's going to fall

right now.

Keep going!

Any questions?

- How are your fries? Hmm.

- Yeah, they're good.

That's impressive.

Hmm. That was nothing.

Did you get it all out?

Whatever.

You won't remember it, anyway.

Yeah, it's my birthday

And now you gotta

pick up the phone

It's your birthday?

it's my birthday

Can't you just leave...

It's your dad. You wanna-

wanna get that?

I was never close to my dad.

Can't even remember

the last time

he called me on my birthday.

He kinda always forgets.

Yeah. I'm supposed

to be with mine.

I don't know, I couldn't bear

the thought of sitting through

another uncomfortable celebration

while we both pretend

that everything is awesome.

Are you closer with your mom?

Was.

What happened?

Oh, she...

Yeah.

Three years ago.

I'm sorry.

That-that sucks.

Yeah.

We actually share

the same birthday, though.

Seriously? That's crazy.

You know, when I was a kid,

I always got to skip school.

We'd go to the beach.

My dad would buy us this like

huge birthday cake.

And put just one candle on it.

We'd blow it out together.

I bet you miss her.

Yeah.

You know, it's funny,

you relive the same day

over and over again

you kind of start to see

who you really are.

If my mom saw me now,

and who I've become,

I don't think

she'd be very proud.

Don't say that.

It's true.

I'm not a good person, Carter.

Maybe it's karma,

maybe I deserve it.

Well, look, I don't

know you all that well, but...

It's never too late to change.

I mean, especially if

what you're saying is true,

Each new day is

it's a chance to be

somebody better.

See, that's just it.

I don't think I have

that many chances left.

I keep on getting weaker

every time I come back.

You know, maybe I'm like that

cat with nine lives.

Eventually, I'm gonna run out.

Let's go live now to

Bayfield University Hospital

Where Jennifer Trite has the latest

on this developing situation.

I'm standing outside the

Bayfield University Hospital

where suspected murderer

John Tombs

is being treated for a gunshot wound

Can you turn that up, please?

that left one officer dead.

Tombs was the subject

of a nationwide manhunt

What's goin' on?

across four state lines

Tree?

that left six female victims.

Authorities are still not sure

if Tombs is responsible

Oh, my God.

for various victims

he claims to have buried

- across the vast desert...

- He's been here the whole time.

What? Tree!

Hey...

Tree!

He's going to escape.

Call the police.

Who?

John Tombs.

Just call the police.

What?

Wait, don't go in there!

Sh*t.

Excuse me,

what are you doing?

He has a gun.

He has a gun, run!

Come on. Come on.

Hey!

Carter!

Stop!

Stop it! Right now!

Hey!

No.

Carter!

There's nowhere to hide,

little girl!

Carter.

I don't reset this day,

he's gone forever.

You should've killed me

when you had the chance.

Come on,

olly olly oxen free.

Hey!

See you soon, a**hole.

Yeah, it's my birthday

Oh, hey, you're up.

I wasn't sure if you wanna...

I can't believe you

tried to save my life.

Thank you so much!

Yeah, yeah, no biggie.

I just, you know,

brought you home.

Uh, I don't know if you

remember my name.

Carter.

Yeah.

Oh!

Do you mind

if I borrow this?

Uh, y-yeah. Sure.

See you at lunch.

Dude, did you hit that

fine vagine, or what?

You naughty, naughty boy!

Fine vagine out!

What just happened?

I've got my love stuck

in my thoughts

In my thoughts

I left my love out

in the cold

- Hi, stop global warming?

- Sure.

You save that planet, girl.

I've got to give my love

Yo, sprinklers about to go on.

My angel flew away

You're welcome.

I didn't know how

to keep her

Heaven knows

I needed her to stay

I hope she spreads her wings

I can't hear you!

Slouching on a sunbeam

And dancing to a song

I couldn't sing

But if I saw her on the street

I'd say

My baby, fly back to me

Oh, Tim!

I know you're back there.

Hey, Tim.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Uh, you haven't returned

any of my texts.

Look, Tim.

Let's get real.

I know you don't like girls.

Stop trying to be

someone you're not.

Love is love, right?

Now you go out there

and get yourself a

fine piece of man ass.

'Cause I've got my love stuck

in my head

In my head

I've got to give my love

To my soul

And let go

Oh

Good morning!

And let go

Oh, my God.

You sneaky little biotch.

His name's Carter.

No, we did not have sex.

But, if I finally make it

through this day somehow,
