When A Stranger Calls

Hello.

Is that Alice?

No, I think you've got

the wrong number.

Well, what's your name?

This is Stacy.

Wh--? Who is this?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Who is this?

-Hey, Mr. Wlson.

-Hey, Dennis.

A.J. Charlie. Katherine.

A.J.

Charlie.

Andrew Joseph.

A.J.

Charlie? Katherine.

Hello.

Hello.

Please stop calling me.

Wait. Let's see it.

-I'm winning you.

-Come on, you guys.

Hello, sir.

We have a 44-year-old

white female....

What's going on?

We were patrolling a block away

when the call came.

-Who made the call?

-I'm not sure, sir.

-Well, where did you find them?

-Upstairs bedroom.

-Hey, Harv.

-Hey, Hines. You're growing a beard.

-Yes, I am.

-Makes you look--

Old and fat. I know, I've heard.

-Where am I going, Lewis?

-Just around here, sir.

-What did the coroner say?

-He's still here, wading through it all.

Wading through it all?

-You need gloves, sir?

-Yeah. Give them to me.

That's a bedroom

round to your left.

-What was the murder weapon?

-That's just it.

What?

There wasn't one.

Nice, nice. Come on, get that.

Sorry, coach.

You're not concentrating, Jill.

You can make 24 seconds.

We both know you can.

Just focus on something

in the distance, and then--

Run for it like nothing else exists.

Right.

Okay. Good practice, ladies.

Hit the showers.

-Hey, Jill.

-Hey, Boom Boom.

I'm sorry, your seice

has been temporarily interrupted.

If this is an emergency,

please dial 91 1.

Jill.

Come on, Jill.

You just gonna ignore me forever?

Sounds good to me.

I tried to call you last night,

but your cell phone was tweaked.

-We need to talk.

-Bobby, we've talked.

Seventy-four minutes yesterday,

...and 256 the day before that.

-Just hear me out.

-I saw you with her.

Well, what else is there to discuss?

She kissed me.

I keep telling you that.

-I barely even remember it, anyway.

-Wait, so you let her kiss you.

-Please--

-Later, Bobby.

Am I gonna see you tonight?

-Did you hang tough?

-I hung.

I don't want you

giving in to those blue eyes.

I'm not gonna give in.

You know, that's just the worst lion

I've ever seen, I gotta tell you.

It's.... I know.

So, what time are you

picking us up tonight?

I'm not picking anyone up.

-What do you mean?

-I'm grounded.

All because you went over

your minutes?

-Yep. Thanks to that jerk.

-I thought they were gonna wait...

-...till after the bonfire.

-So did l.

Hey, guys.

-Guys, this is so high school.

-Scarlet, we're in high school.

Anyway, they're making me

pay it off.

-Yeah, I have to babysit. Tonight.

-Tonight?

Who needs some

stupid bonfire party, anyway?

It's just a bunch of skanks and jerks

acting like idiots, right?

So Mom was able to get the tickets.

I was kind of hoping

they'd be sold-out.

Just be glad you're not going.

It's baroque chamber music.

Since the concert isn't over

until after midnight...

...Dr. Mandrakis will

drive you home, okay?

I could have at least

driven myself, Dad.

Jill, you went over by 800 minutes.

Do you know how much that cost us?

-At least you could wait until after 8:.00.

-I know.

-I always do.

-Except this time you didn't.

That's-- That's not fair, Dad.

You know why.

Sweetheart, I know. But still....

Wha--? So if I drove myself, you think

I'd have just bailed and not shown up?

It's one month, Jill.

No phone, no car.

Besides, I don't want you driving

home alone this far so late at night.

Boy...

-...they really live pretty far out here.

-Yep.

-You gonna be okay out here alone?

-Depends what they have TiVo-ed.

Guess I should have been a doctor.

Just think of this

as learning responsibility.

Dad, I am responsible.

I mean, when it's not easy...

...when it's complicated,

when it hurts. That's when it counts.

Call us if you need anything.

-You guys have fun.

-Say it like you mean it.

Hi, I'm the babysitter.

Oh, right, yes. Come in.

I'm sorry to rush,

but I think we're a little late.

Honey, have you seen the keys?

Don't yell.

I just got the kids to sleep.

-Did you check the kitchen?

-Yeah.

Well, try the office.

You must be Jill.

I'm Kelly Mandrakis.

Nice to meet you both.

We were so thrilled to find

a babysitter at the last minute.

You come highly recommended

by the Thompsons.

Well, they're great.

If you can handle them,

we're gonna be a cakewalk.

Yeah.

-Tim, keys?

-Yeah.

Come on, I'll show you around.

The kitchen's back here.

That's Chester.

He'll probably be there all night.

It's beautiful.

Bye, Chester.

Oh, you'll get used to that.

Here's a list of all the contact and

emergency numbers you might need.

Our cell numbers. And that's

the number of the restaurant.

Here's the phone. Don't hesitate

to call us about anything.

Oh, and help yourself

to anything in the fridge.

I remember babysitting.

Food's the best part.

Oh, and if you hear any banging

around upstairs, don't worry.

That's our live-in Rosa.

She has a room on the third floor.

She sometimes leaves

to go take care of her mother...

...who's been pretty sick recently.

-Your house is amazing.

-Thank you.

Tim, have you seen my--?

Okay.

Anything else, or are we done?

-The guesthouse?

-Guesthouse.

Our son, who's in college,

stays out there most weekends.

Not that he ever calls

to let us know when he's coming.

You have a son in college?

From my first marriage.

Our dinner reservations

are at 8...

...but we might catch

a movie afterwards...

...which would put us home

around midnight. Is that okay?

-That's fine.

-Great.

-Okay. Anything else? All set?

-The children?

First bedroom

at the top of the landing.

They're getting over the flu.

We had a hard time

getting them to sleep...

...so whatever you do,

please, try not to wake them.

Oh, we have an alarm system.

I'll write the code

down for you right here.

-You familiar with these?

-Yes.

Okay, honey, let's go.

Bye.

-Just make yourself at home.

-Okay.

Oh, thank you. I just bought them.

Hello?

Dr. Mandrakis?

Rosa?

Rosa?

Rosa?

Rosa, this is Jill the babysitter.

Hello.

Hello.

Mandrakis residence.

Hello?

Chester.

What are the kids like?

I don't know.

They were asleep when I got here.

And the house?

Pretty amazing.

You should see her closet.

It's bigger than my room.

Food?

I haven't checked that out yet.

Good closet means good supplies.

Listen, I'm not sure if I should

tell you this, but--

What?

The jerk called me.

He wants your number over there.

Well, did you give it to him?

No, because he'd call.

It's okay to give it to him.

I'm smelling weakness.

I'm not being weak.

Then why talk to him?

So I can just end this thing

once and for all.

Well, that sounds convincing.

Come on, I got it.

The person you really should

be talking to is Tiffany.

When are you heading

over to the bonfire?

Nice subject change.

I'm on my way now.

I wanna get a good seat before

the jocks start streaking...

...Iike a pack of wild idiots.

Now you're really

making me sad I'm missing it.

You want me to swing by first?
