...who are doing nothing

on seven and 10.

95

00:
09:36,364 -- 00:09:39,673

Paulie, Carlos, Frank, Danny,

and what's-his-name, the tall guy?

96

00:
09:39,865 -- 00:09:42,158

- Rafael.

- Rafael.

97

00:
09:42,353 -- 00:09:44,930

- Let's go.

- Okay.

98

00:
09:45,119 -- 00:09:46,522

- Ready?

- Yeah.

99

00:
09:46,717 -- 00:09:48,862

- Well, I need it to 10 and 11.

- Hey!

100

00:
09:52,184 -- 00:09:54,824

iHousekeeping ER/i

ito the Suture Room, please./i

101

00:
09:55,011 -- 00:09:58,224

iHousekeeping ER to the Suture Room./i

102

00:
10:00,939 -- 00:10:03,390

- Hey.

- Hi.

103

00:
10:03,581 -- 00:10:06,189

I heard about Daley Plaza.

104

00:
10:06,991 -- 00:10:09,441

EMT said you fought hard for the guy.

105

00:
10:09,876 -- 00:10:12,580

Yeah. Really knocked myself out.

106

00:
10:13,195 -- 00:10:16,935

iKate, I'm going to tell you/i

iwhat I tell every young doctor./i

107

00:
10:17,129 -- 00:10:19,882

iHopefully, you'll be the first to listen./i

108

00:
10:20,568 -- 00:10:25,323

iOn your day off, get as far away/i

ifrom this place as you can./i

109

00:
10:25,515 -- 00:10:30,394

iGo someplace where you feel/i

imost like yourself./i

110

00:
11:20,929 -- 00:11:22,888

iDear Ms. Forster:/i

111

00:
11:23,081 -- 00:11:24,306

iI got your note.../i

112

00:
11:24,495 -- 00:11:27,501

i... and I'm afraid there must be/i

isome kind of misunderstanding./i

113

00:
11:27,690 -- 00:11:31,312

iAs far as I know, the lake house/i

ihas been empty for several years./i

114

00:
11:31,528 -- 00:11:34,776

iMaybe your note was intended for/i

ithe Sandburg house down the shore.../i

115

00:
11:34,970 -- 00:11:38,186

"...since no one has lived

in this house for years.

116

00:
11:39,118 -- 00:11:41,996

But I'm curious about the paw prints."

117

00:
11:47,382 -- 00:11:50,261

iDear Mr. Wyler, I'm very familiar/i

iwith the Sandburg cottage.../i

118

00:
11:50,454 -- 00:11:52,776

i... and I can guarantee/i

iI never lived there./i

119

00:
11:52,971 -- 00:11:56,440

iI'm old-fashioned, but I don't think a/i

icottage should be over 6000 square feet./i

120

00:
11:56,627 -- 00:11:58,439

iSo let me try again./i

121

00:
11:58,624 -- 00:12:01,537

iI used to live at the lake house,/i

ithen I moved./i

122

00:
12:01,728 -- 00:12:05,067

iNow I live at 1620 North Racine/i

iin Chicago./i

123

00:
12:05,290 -- 00:12:08,077

iI'd appreciate it if you would/i

iforward my mail if you get any./i

124

00:
12:08,270 -- 00:12:11,738

iOh, by the way, it's 2006./i

125

00:
12:11,926 -- 00:12:14,312

iHas been all year, ask anyone./i

126

00:
12:14,536 -- 00:12:16,808

2006?

127

00:
12:17,334 -- 00:12:19,480

What does she mean, 2006?

128

00:
12:20,098 -- 00:12:21,910

God.

129

00:
12:22,157 -- 00:12:23,065

Oh, God.

130

00:
12:25,964 -- 00:12:27,954

- Good morning, Mr. Wyler.

- Morning, Mr. Wyler.

131

00:
12:28,146 -- 00:12:29,518

- Morning, sir.

- Morning, morning.

132

00:
12:29,743 -- 00:12:31,367

Hello, Mr. Wyler.

133

00:
12:31,833 -- 00:12:33,642

Mr. Wyler.

134

00:
12:34,380 -- 00:12:36,099

Sir.

135

00:
12:38,190 -- 00:12:41,104

Well, obviously,

I derived my inspiration...

136

00:
12:41,295 -- 00:12:44,267

...for the metaphor

of the fugue, the loop...

137

00:
12:45,961 -- 00:12:47,491

Yeah.

138

00:
13:05,745 -- 00:13:08,783

- Two hours of that sh*t. You kidding me?

- What are you talking about?

139

00:
13:08,972 -- 00:13:13,141

- He didn't say a word.

- Sadistic, bitter, bitter old man.

140

00:
13:13,365 -- 00:13:16,065

I think you're being

a little overdramatic.

141

00:
13:19,600 -- 00:13:21,256

Where are you going?

142

00:
13:29,368 -- 00:13:31,516

Man, I love that place.

143

00:
13:51,180 -- 00:13:53,790

I can't believe that thing's

still running.

144

00:
13:56,555 -- 00:13:58,052

Yep.

145

00:
13:59,289 -- 00:14:00,578

You look like sh*t.

146

00:
14:01,347 -- 00:14:03,003

I missed you too.

147

00:
14:20,332 -- 00:14:22,386

Hey, forget about him.

148

00:
14:26,508 -- 00:14:28,370

- Condos.

- Riviera Estates.

149

00:
14:28,595 -- 00:14:30,219

- You're joking.

- I don't believe this.

150

00:
14:30,437 -- 00:14:32,094

I come back after four years...

151

00:
14:32,312 -- 00:14:34,030

...and I get this in front of me.

- What?

152

00:
14:34,217 -- 00:14:36,176

My brother thinking

he's Frank Lloyd Whatever.

153

00:
14:36,369 -- 00:14:38,178

- Oh, come on.

- Dad keeps you hostage...

154

00:
14:38,363 -- 00:14:40,845

...in that little

mythmaking factory of his...

155

00:
14:41,067 -- 00:14:44,137

...while you haven't built so much as

a phone booth or a hamster cage.

156

00:
14:44,294 -- 00:14:45,856

That's funny you say that, actually.

157

00:
14:46,045 -- 00:14:48,861

I have a hamster cage in mind.

A development of them, actually.

158

00:
14:49,055 -- 00:14:51,967

Prefab, no foundations.

What do you think about that?

159

00:
14:52,158 -- 00:14:55,101

See, that's what I'm talking about.

You have vision.

160

00:
14:56,122 -- 00:14:57,745

Speaking of which...

161

00:
14:57,965 -- 00:15:00,969

...I'd like you to know

I bought a house.

162

00:
15:01,127 -- 00:15:03,024

- Where?

- On the lake.

163

00:
15:03,400 -- 00:15:05,213

A lake house.

So you are making some money.

164

00:
15:05,366 -- 00:15:07,661

Well, it's a dump.

Been abandoned for years, but...

165

00:
15:07,857 -- 00:15:09,938

So you got an abandoned,

haunted lake hou...

166

00:
15:10,127 -- 00:15:11,562

That's as good a reason as any...

167

00:
15:11,788 -- 00:15:14,332

...for selling out and joining

the flabby-developers' guild.

168

00:
15:14,552 -- 00:15:17,653

- How about this? I even got a dog.

- You got a dog?

169

00:
15:18,760 -- 00:15:23,149

He just showed up at the house

from out of nowhere.

170

00:
15:34,243 -- 00:15:36,726

- What are we doing here?

- I have to deliver a letter.

171

00:
15:36,917 -- 00:15:41,000

It should be here.

1620 North Racine.

172

00:
15:44,073 -- 00:15:45,602

But...

173

00:
15:46,838 -- 00:15:47,970

...there's nothing here.

174

00:
15:49,972 -- 00:15:52,946

Are we meeting someone?

Does somebody live here? What?

175

00:
15:53,319 -- 00:15:54,881

Yeah.

176

00:
15:55,101 -- 00:15:57,123

I thought so.

177

00:
15:57,498 -- 00:15:58,629

Should we ring the bell?

178

00:
16:16,082 -- 00:16:17,611

iDear Ms. Forster:/i

179

00:
16:17,834 -- 00:16:21,237

iI went to 1620 North Racine,/i

iand it's not there./i

180

00:
16:21,611 -- 00:16:23,444

iIt's just a construction site./i

181

00:
16:23,670 -- 00:16:27,410

iFrom the pictures it looks nice,/i

ibut not for another 18 months./i

182

00:
16:27,604 -- 00:16:29,416

iWhat am I missing here?/i

183

00:
16:29,600 -- 00:16:32,814

iMaybe you got the address wrong,/i

ibecause you got the date wrong too./i

184

00:
16:33,038 -- 00:16:35,648

You really wanna play this game.

185

00:
16:36,419 -- 00:16:41,302

If you are truly in the year 2004...

186

00:
16:41,949 -- 00:16:44,063

...then...
