Out of Time

(TV in background)

And in Florida, a 52-year-old man lets

two women in the house to use the phone.

(phone rings)

- Chief Whitlock.

- Chief Whitlock, it's... it's Ann.

Ann Merai Harrison.

Somebody just broke into my house.

All right. Be right over, ma'am.

(dispatcher on radio) 26, 26. A double K

on the corner of Church and Waterford.

How you doing, Miss Harrison?

- Chief.

- You OK?

- l'm fine.

- Mind if l come in?

- Come in.

- Thank you.

Oh, boy.

Did you, uh...

did you get a good look at this fella?

Uh, yeah.

- He was, um... about your height.

- Mm-hm.

Your weight. Come to think of it,

he kinda looked like you.

Looked like me?

So, he was good-looking?

- No.

- OK.

Sorry, just not my type.

So, this... ugly man,

you know how he got in the house?

Um...

The bedroom window.

- ls it all right if l come in your bedroom?

- Yeah, come in.

- Why don't you tell me what happened?

- OK.

l was asleep, but then l woke up

because l felt something.

l saw the window was open.

And... he was standing

right where you are.

- Right here?

- Mm-hm.

You're sure? OK.

- All right, so what did he do?

- He... he came toward me.

- He came toward you?

- Uh-huh.

- Like this?

- Uh-huh.

- Then he grabbed me.

- Where?

Right here.

- Like that?

- Uh-huh.

But he was much stronger than you.

(gasps)

- Like that?

- Uh-huh.

He forced himself on top of me.

Like that?

His breath smelt like

he'd been drinking, like yours.

Really? What happened next?

- He kissed me.

- Where?

Where, baby?

Then he stripped me naked.

l'm sorry, it was confusing.

He ripped my shirt off.

You didn't put up much of a fight,

did you? Hm?

Really?

l didn't put up much of a fight?

- So, you took control?

- Mm-hm.

What did you do next?

- What'd you do, baby?

- Watch me.

Tell me what you did next, baby.

(radio) Chief?.

You gotta get down to the Scuttlebutt.

We got a situation here.

lt's about to blow.

Chief?.

- Yeah, Tony, what's up?

- Where are you, Chief?.

Can you get here?

We need you to come. Quick.

- Chief?.

- OK. Uh...

Look, Tony, l'm...

- Coming now.

- No!

l gotta go, baby. Gotta go.

Gotta go to work.

- We'll pick up on this crime tomorrow?

- OK.

- What kind of crime?

- Bad one. Assault with a deadly weapon.

Breaking and entering.

- See you later, baby.

- OK.

(sighs)

- How you all doing?

- Hey, Chief.

- (woman) Morning.

- Hey, there.

Mathias Lee Whitlock.

Hey, how you doing, Chris?

You having breakfast

with all your friends here?

l would invite you, Chris,

but l don't want to.

You know, l'd sit down,

but... l don't want to.

- Did they find us a table?

- Yeah, we're in the back.

- Matt.

- How you doing, Ann?

OK. l'm starving. Good to see you.

Good to see you, too.

Hey, Chris. Try the crab. lt's real good.

- l'm allergic.

- l know.

Right.

How you doing, Sharlene?

- What time is it?

- 3 o'clock.

Let's go.

Hey, man.

They're out of paper towels again.

- How you doing, Chae?

- Good.

Thought the camera only added 10lbs.

- Looks good, doesn't it?

- Kinda. ln a pudgy way.

So l thought this might be an opportune

time to revisit my offer to invest.

- Costa Rica?

- Charter a boat.

- Steal the evidence money.

- What's this? You filed a report on it yet?

- That it?

- That's it.

- Man, 485 grand. Can l touch it?

- No, you can't.

- l just wanna touch it.

- Get your hands out of there.

- Maybe l'll just steal it.

- Maybe l'll just shoot you.

Stop thinking like a cop for five seconds.

Just listen to my proposition.

Take a grand out. We'll go to the boat

show, we'll walk around with the money.

Get a sense of how it feels to know we

could buy a boat if we were of that mind.

- l'll see you in a minute.

- (Chae) What do you think?

- Chae.

- Stranger.

- How you doing?

- How you doing, Alex?

- l need your keys.

- l'm fine, thanks. How about you?

Listen, l need your keys.

l left a couple of things.

- OK. All right, l'll go with you.

- No. Uh-uh.

- Why not?

- Please?

- l just wanna go with you.

- l got a lot of work to do today.

- Your work's important to you.

- Are you starting with that?

l'm gonna pretend to make a call.

Good to see you, Alex.

- Congrats on making detective.

- Thanks, Chae.

Forget it. Forget it. Even if l left the Hope

diamond in there, it's just not worth it.

- Bye, Matt.

- Bye, Alex.

Would you just give me

the goddamn keys?

They're on the desk, in front of you.

l'll drop them off.

- See you, Chae.

- See you.

Hm! She looks good.

Sometimes l think

you want me to shoot you.

Wait. Hold that thought.

Medical Examiner.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. What kind

of prick dies at cocktail hour on a Friday?

Nerve of some people.

Have a good one, Chae.

See you.

Catch anything?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Trying to catch my self-respect.

Figuring out what it is

l'm doing in this threesome.

Try foursome. You're forgetting your wife.

She left me.

ln fact, l just told her, told her the other

day. Told her today to come get her stuff.

- So, how's the pro football quarterback?

- He's up north, hunting for the weekend.

The whole weekend.

(panting and moaning)

Ow. l got a splinter in my behind.

You OK?

Oh, l'm OK. Definitely.

- lt's all right.

- (sighs)

- You still love her, don't you?

- Huh?

You still love her, don't you?

Yeah, l do.

- But you're divorcing her.

- You still got your ring on.

- Chris needs me.

- OK.

He does.

He's lost. Been that way since he got cut

from the team. l guess l feel sorry for him.

You remember that next time

he goes upside your head, OK?

(phone rings)

Hello?

Mm-hm.

OK. Sure.

l'll be right there.

- Ann Merai, hi.

- Dr Frieland. This is my brother, Matt.

Nice to meet you. l'm sorry to bring you in

today. l was in surgery all day yesterday.

Please.

- You can talk in front of him. lt's fine.

- OK.

Right. OK. Ann...

l'm afraid there's been a bit of a setback.

l got your tests back yesterday.

The cancer is not in remission.

lt's come back very aggressively.

lt's attacked your liver and lungs.

How long?

- Well, that's... that's difficult to say.

- How long?

Five, six months.

l mean, no one can say for sure.

But l feel fine.

There's a counsellor here

l'd like you to see. She's good.

- She'll help you during this period.

- Thank you for coming in on your day off.

Ann, wait.

Excuse me. Maybe you could

speak to her about the counselling.

Listen. l mean, you should

be able to do something, right?

You know, what about that experimental

stuff. You know, like 60 Minutes?

l don't know.

There are alternative approaches.

- Yeah?

- Sure. l mean, let's see.

Autologous cancer vaccines.

Haematology procedures, like pheresis.

Hyperthermia treatments.

Here, take a look at those.

They're extremely expensive and,

l gotta tell you, there are no guarantees.

- Thanks.

- OK.

You all right?

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me, baby?

l'm sorry. l'm sorry.

When l was with you,

l... l forgot about it.

For a couple hours
