The Dead Zone s03e09 Episode Script

Cycle of Violence

My clients are willing to pay your price for the house if you're willing to buy a home warranty, and repaint the interior.
Done.
- So when you due? - Nine weeks.
- It's gonna be another girl.
- Ho.
My sister and I were just about as far apart in age as your daughters.
This will be a great house for two girls.
Congratulations.
You'll be really happy here.
Do you mind if I have a few minutes in the house? - Sure.
We'll take a walk.
- Thanks.
Seeing those buyers, make me think of Rachel in this house with a husband and children You're doing a great job, Rebecca.
It's a hard thing to get through.
It's good that a family is moving in.
Make this place happy, one again.
Just now that it's done, I feel kind of empty.
Hey.
You want to see a movie.
- Com'on.
.
Some Funny - I have a prior commitment tonight.
But you're welcome to join me.
Ok.
Check out Lincoln.
How about that Abe Lincoln, huh? So adorable.
You must be really proud.
Yeah.
We are.
Thank you all for coming down to the high school tonight! - I'd like to invite you to meet our stars out of the lobby.
- If any of you are still awake.
A special thank-you to Mr.
Talbot for bringing kids of all ages together in this production.
How about one more round of applause for our talented performers and musicians! Good night.
What do you think? So cute, I can't believe this.
What did you see? The Dead Zone - Saison 3 Episode 09 "Cycle Of Violence" I don't know what triggered the vision.
When I was leaving the theater, I walk through a doorway that hundreds of people passed through.
Just tell us again what you saw.
It was during a school day.
I heard gunshots.
I look down the hallway.
And the students and the teachers, they were scared, they were screaming.
- It was like they was running away from someone.
- Did you see the shooter's face? No but whoever he was, he was wearing a sweatshirt with a hood.
Then I saw him walking to this room.
I heard another gunshot.
- And then the vision ended.
- These things you see, they always come true? Yes.
Mr Rowin, unless we do something to stop it, this shooting will happen.
Yeah.
We can't just sit around away for something that will happen.
We have to close the school tomorrow.
But that's a temporary until we can get security in place.
Guards, metal detectors, whatever it takes to guarantee the safety of these kids.
In the meantime, we've got to find this shooter.
- What else we have to go on John? - I didn't get a good look at this personn.
Rebecca, you've worked with a lot of trouble kids.
Is there anything we should be looking for? Well, this is a rare chance to save two people: the victim and the kid who's going to shoot him.
By the time a kid picks up a gun, he may already be dead inside.
- There must be warning signs.
- Each kid is different, but there are some things to look for.
He'll probably expressing anger in other ways, vandalism or making threats, verbally or in writing.
Some kids posts their threats on a website.
Yes.
There is a second element that these kids have in common and it might sounds obvious but he'll have easy access to a gun.
We're pulling missing gun reports.
The problem is there's a firearms out and the parents just haven't secured properly.
Okay, we'll start by looking at every students who fit your profile.
I can think of a few suspects.
Most kids who fit the profile never act on their threats.
We have to start somewhere.
I think a locker search is appropriate.
Metal detectors aren't gonna help if the gun is here already.
Maybe something from one of the kid's lockers will help me identify this person.
In the meantime, we need to be discrete about this thing.
Yeah, we got to keep it low-key.
All we do, is to say that there's an unspecified threat - against the school, we shut it down tomorrow.
- Or it will be a cause of panic.
Tomorrow morning first, we search lockers.
After that, we interview every student who seems like he might do this kind of thing, and talk to their parents.
"The Complete Encyclopedia of Serial Killers" Walt, 304.
We pre-screened the contents.
These are the most likely troublemakers.
- All these lockers? - We thought we cast the wide net, let you do your thing.
Com'on.
Is it him? I don't know.
But I can't rule him out.
Try this one.
We found a copy of "Soldier of Fortune" and a Marilyn Manson album.
These kinds of things aren't necessarily indicators.
Maybe not.
But we still have to try.
- I can't rule her out either.
- Why ? She likes burning pictures of her ex-boyfriend.
I did that.
She stays on the list.
Come on.
We got a lot of lockers to go though.
These one aren't suspects.
Maybe not, but all of this kids have traumatic events ahead of them.
At this point, I can't rule anyone out.
Maybe the interviews will be more productive.
We should get start on those.
Who knows? The shooter might be sitting in my outer office right now.
Mr.
Fitz? And Derek? So Derek? I understand your sense of humor gets you in trouble sometimes.
Do you ever joke about damaging school property or getting back at a teacher for something? Only when I'm awake.
Sometimes I daydream about smashing things up.
So what? - Do you daydream a lot? - Do you? - Derek? - Did I say I have violent daydreams? I misspoke.
I usually think about things like daisies, and fluffy bunnies.
I have nothing but love and respect for this institution.
Check out my 'blog if you want to know what I really think about.
- This is your web site? - Yeah.
Yeah.
Dereksworld at Maine blog dot com.
I'll be posting my daydreams about you later today.
Derek, show some respect.
I apologize for whatever my son has done.
- What are your feelings about school Lenora? - Just another thing to put up with.
I mean, do this until I'm eighteen, work for forty years, marry, squeeze out some babies, divorce, then die.
Lenora! - She's kidding.
- I'm not kidding.
I hope they close this place down for good.
Here's some condoms.
So there's something else at home that could suggests problems at school? Is my son in some kind of trouble? He had this book in his locker.
Charles? You like this kind of book? - I thought it was funny and weird - When you read these books, do you ever feel sorry for the victims? - I don't know.
Never thought about it.
- What about the killers? - What do you fell about them? - They're freaks, man.
- Ed Gein used to wear human skin.
- Here you go.
Do you have a gun, Charles? Are you going to make list of gun owners, now? We're just trying to clear his name, Mr.
Kolchak.
He's better than I was at his age.
Even has a kind of homework club.
Is that a four color pen? - You might want to encourage him to do his own homework.
- Okay.
Thanks for coming in.
Drive safely.
Okay? That's the last one.
Did you cross anybody off? No, in fact I added a few names.
So, let's keep it closed for a couple more days.
Just keep looking.
Mr.
Smith.
I can't close my school indefinitely waiting for you to find something.
We can't have twelve hundred students with no place to go.
The shooter is gonna find his victims at an arcade or mall just as easily.
At least here on campus we have some kind of control.
The new security is almost up and running.
We're opening school tomorrow.
These kids are really scared.
Just look.
That's not surprising.
I'm scared too.
Thanks for coming down.
Got any new leads? Anything? - No.
How about you? - Not much.
A couple of more students came to our attention.
I was hoping you could talk to them.
One of them isin Mr.
Talbot's class in the auditorium upstairs.
- Sure, we'll head up.
- Thanks.
- Mr.
Smith? - Hi, we need to speak to one of your students, Colin? Colin? The principal sent you after me.
- Didn't he? - Yes, but he didn't say why.
It's not because of me.
It's because of my brother.
He got into the gang stuff.
Drugs, mostly.
My parents moved here so that I would have a chance, and even here, everyone looks at me like I'm a criminal.
I'm not! I believe you.
- So how long have you been playing trumpet? - Just started this year.
Can I check it out? Do you have heard about the film"Malcom X"? I think it should be required reading.
- Can I go back now? - Sure.
Thanks.
Colin Colin seems like a good kid.
All those kids we talked to, they could turn into shooters.
Or they could turn into doctors and lawyers.
It's hard to tell.
Until it's too late.
I need to see inside the bag.
- You didn't look in their bags.
- Son, you're not getting by until I see what you're carrying.
I just want to know why you singled me out and no one else.
I don't need a reason.
What do you have in there, anyway? None of your business.
Then you're not coming in.
I'll be right back.
Give it back.
What are you hiding? What's we got here? I said give it back.
Knock it off! Back off! Now! Get away from him.
Are you okay? Yeah.
But that security guy was being a Nazi.
He singled me out for no reason - He wouldn't have found anything in your backpack - That's not the point.
The point is, he has no right.
I didn't do anything.
- Yeah.
- I got it.
You come with me.
- He was the one who got beaten up.
- He is a trouble maker.
############ Hey I want the book.
What are you looking at? Derek, Johnny was just trying to keep you from getting hurt.
He did a great job, too.
They're sending me home "to think about the impact I have on my peers, and how I can fit in better.
" I got kicked out of school, once.
Some friends and I put out an unauthorized student newspaper.
Called "The Cleavage Mills Gazette".
No it was great.
Come on! Hey, I was fourteen.
They were trying to institute mandatory drug tests at school.
We fought it.
Your web site kind of reminded me that.
Pretty gutsy.
- You read it? - Yeah, I read it.
I really liked the essay that you wrote about the difference between education and indoctrination.
You're a talented writer.
Not that anybody around here gives a damn.
I'm just trying to keep things safe around here for everybody .
I'm not your enemy Derak? Everybody knows you predicted something.
- What did you see? - I can't tell you.
Why are they suspending you? Supposedly for fighting.
I think the real reason is for questioning his rules and what I said about the school on my 'blog'.
I'll talk to Principal Rowin.
You talking to the principal is what started all this.
I know that.
He refused to be searched.
Then he got in a fight.
If I don't suspend him it breeds disrespect for authority.
There are plenty of kids who have done much worse.
Derek will be the example that puts the others on notice.
Enforcing the rules unequaly will alsolutly breed disrespect for authority.
- You're just making things worse.
- Fine, I'll let him off with a warning.
But if those bullets fly, parents will blame me.
There's a gunman in my school, and you haven't found him yet.
Have you? Maybe we've already changed the future.
Maybe the shooting is not gonna happen now.
Yeah.
I hope so.
Is there some problem? You alright? I saw the shooter walk into the teacher's lounge.
He aimed his gun at three of the teachers, but didn't shoot, like he was waiting for something.
Do you think he's looking for someone in particular? Possibly.
- The class change? - Fire alarm.
On that door.
########### We got a bomb threat.
- Who's locker is it? - No ones.
It's supposed to be empty.
What's that.
" BOOM ! There go our rights.
" This is a prank.
I want to find this kid.
I want him out of my school, and I want him in jail.
- It's modeling clay.
- It's a terroristic threat.
We should be careful not to overreact to something like this.
Mr.
Smith! I set school policy.
I have to maintain order.
Touch it.
I know how your abilities work.
Go ahead.
I didn't see anything.
Maybe it'll come to you later.
First, you predict a shooting.
Now, we have a bomb scare.
- This is a prank.
- This is security breach.
We have to double our efforts.
I'm supposed to meet Principal Rowin.
You'll have to stand in line with everyone else.
- We have an appointment.
- I don't set the policy.
Hey, Colin I.
D.
? That's Ok.
.
They're with me.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
You're on the list.
Why? Take that will you? Turn around and let me search.
- You suck.
- What did you say? Nothing.
You guys pointed out that enforcing the rules unequaly with Derek Fitz would be unfair.
- Yes - You were right.
It was unfair to single him out.
So to be absolutly fair, I had no choice but to suspend everyone who refused to be searched.
Including Derek as thirty-one possible crimes, averted.
- You suspended thirty one students? - Thirty-one potential shooters.
And I suspect anyone.
Hey! A kid threw a bottle.
Who threw that? Who threw that bottle? Colin, you're allright? I will not tolerate this.
This was an attack on a school employee.
Now, who threw the bottle? Uh? Who threw the bottle? ############ Go to hell.
What did you see? The guard overreacted.
Colin was defending himself.
He's here to protect these students.
The kid resisted.
I saw what happened.
The guard was out of line.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on that point, What I really want to know is who threw the bottle? If it hadn't been for that bottle Colin might have been injured even worse.
- That guard should be fired.
- That's for me to decide.
- Who threw the bottle John? - I can't help you with this.
I'm sorry.
- Why are we here? - I want to talk to Derek.
He's the one who threw the bottle? He pulled the locker stunt, too.
He reminds me a lot of myself at that age.
So you knew he was here because of your gift? Because I've lived in Cleaves Mills all my life.
I'm looking for Derek Fitz.
You guys have seen him? Thanks.
Hey.
Can't you just leave me alone? Every time you get near me, bad things happen.
I just wanted to talk to you.
See if you could help us before things got out of hand.
- Little late for that.
- Derek I understand how you feel.
But now is not the time to bait the principal.
You know what I mean? If no one stands up then they've won, haven't they? If someone shoots up the school, we've all lost.
We're here because we're worried about you.
- You think I'm it.
You think I'm a psycho.
- No.
- You'd say the same thing if you did as if you didn't.
- No it's not my think.
We just wanted to Just wanted to get me busted? Derek, Derek! That generated a lot of love and trust.
And goodwill.
- Was that Derek Fitz? - Yes.
- I've got a warrant for him.
- Walt, listen.
He's angry, he's a smart ass but he's not your shooter.
I won't be so sure about that.
Even if you could guarantee me he would never shoot anyone, I don't want a kid like that in my school.
I saw the fight.
And your guard used excessive force.
That kid was just defending himself.
Derek was just trying to help him.
- He's not a bad kid.
- That's not my opinion.
If he's willing to hurt someone who is armed and in uniform imagine what else he's capable of.
I'm talking to the prosecutor's office about pressing criminal charges.
Wait a minute.
That's overkill.
Walt? If the guard wants to press charges, my hands are tied.
I have to arrest him.
Derek? What are you doing here? They're looking all over for you.
I need to talk to you.
Yeah, come in.
Thanks, I was starving.
They got you throwing the bottle on the surveillance camera.
Damned.
I know that you were just trying to defend Colin.
I'll vouch for you.
But I think we should call your folks for I can't go home.
- Why not? - I just can't.
My Dad will freak.
I wish I could wind back the clock three days.
I just want to go back to class.
I like it.
Even if sometimes I hate it.
Okay.
We can hang on here this afternoon.
I got something I got to sort out.
You said there were something you wanted to talk about? Whatever it is, it stays right here between us.
Man to man.
Is there a chance Am I gonna shoots up the school? Is that what you think? I don't know what to think.
Last week I was an A- student with good prospects.
Now I'm expelled.
A fugitive.
I'd like to know for sure.
You're the same kid you were last week, right? Hello.
Hey Rebecca.
I'm just sitting to talk to a friend.
Listen, I have something I want to check out.
I'll pick you up in uh.
.
ten, fifty minutes? Ok, great.
- You can hang out here for a while, alright.
- You trust me? Yeah.
Yeah I do.
He came out of the teacher's lounge.
He was looking for someone.
There was another wing.
Right here.
- Maybe it was another hallway.
- This is the only hall with a trophy case.
Johnny, look They haven't built it yet.
That's it.
The corridor in the vision isn't there now.
What are you getting in? The shooting is not going to happen for years.
What do you mean we don't need the extra security? The shooting isn't going to happen for years.
I don't understand.
How do you know? There's a plan to build a new wing.
Sure, there's a plan.
But we haven't raised the money yet.
Construction is five years off at best.
One day it will be built and the shooter is going to find his victim in that that wing.
I saw it.
You can get rid of the metal detectors, the security, all of it.
There's more than enough time to find this kid and help him before he hurts anyone.
Even if you're right now that's in place, this extra security is necessary in the future.
Your students are terrified.
Your school is a fortress.
Every kid who passes through the doors of my school could be the gunman.
- Or worse, one of his victims.
- Right.
I can't take the chance.
Especially now.
Everyone in Cleaves Mills knows that you Johnny Smith, the psychic who is never wrong warned me.
Mr Rowin.
Your security measures are causing more trouble than they're stopping.
Do you understand? If you don't deal with the root cause of this violence, all the metal detectors in the world won't stop this kind of thing from happening.
Give me the name of the kid who's going to shoot up my school in the future that's a root cause I can do something about.
Even if I saw his face, he won't look anything like the shooter I saw.
He's a little kid now.
- He'd be what, nine or ten now? - J.
J.
's nine.
I'm not suggesting J.
J.
There's lots of elementary kids at that show.
The vision might have come from one of them.
huh, fourth graders.
Mr.
Smith would like to have a word with you.
Rest of class just take five.
I've got to tell you guys.
- That sounds is excellent.
- Thanks, Mr.
Smith.
Now I'll call this huddle because I wanna see how you guys feels about something.
I was wondering if you guys want a little miniature golf this weekend? - Sure - Awesome - Really? You have to ask your parents first.
And also to keep it real quiet.
- Thanks! - Give me one.
Upper.
Down low.
Get out.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Get out.
You're never going to hurt anyone else again.
Johnny? What's the matter? I want you to go with Rebecca.
C'mon let's go to the library.
You can get any book you want.
What about the rest of rehearsal? Mr.
Talbot gets mad if we miss out.
You know what Zeke? I'll talk to Mr.
Talbot, ok? Don't you worry about anything.
Now, "get out of here"! Walt? It's John.
I need you to check out a name for me.
No, it's not a student, it's a teacher.
It must be Mr.
Talbot.
I guess there's some things even a metal detector can't keep out.
I just thought if I could start over some place new some place where they didn't know what I'd done it would be different.
You know, I could keep it under control.
You can change your name but not who you are.
I haven't done anything here That's all my past.
You did a lot of awful things in Minnesota.
That's not going to happen here.
You're on a plane anyway to stand trial.
If you've done with him, I want him out of here, away from our kids and behind bars, where he belongs.
Come on! Let's go ! We just hired him last semester.
Did he? No.
- We were lucky.
- Yeah.
It looks like your shooting isn't going to happen after all.
So who was going to shoot up my school? I'm not going to tell you that.
The kid deserves to have a normal childhood.
- Hello.
.
- Derek.
- Yeah.
- It's John.
- Ho, Hey! - How's going my man? - Staying out of trouble? - Ate all your food, went through your drawers and set the house on fire.
Now I'm just doing some homeworks.
What's up? I have just told to Principal Rowin, there's not going to be a shooting.
You're kidding.
Did they get the guy? There is no guy.
Anymore.
- It's a long story.
- What about me? Am I still public enemy number one? I think you should come down and should talk to the Principal together.
If you take responsibility for what you did and apologize, I think I can get you back in class.
- That's all I wanted in the first place.
- Meet me in the principal's office and put out the fire before you lock up.
You think I can just let these things slide? - He assaulted a security guard - No! He was defending a fellow student from a security guard who was using excessive force He triggered a false alarm.
A fake bomb is not a joke.
- He thouht he was making a statement.
- Look at this kid's file he's a trouble maker.
Hey.
You! Stop where you are.
Turn around.
NOW! That's him.
That's the kid that blindsided me.
Look, Starsky and Hutch, - I'm just here to talk to Principal Rowin.
- Ok, let's go.
- Get your hands off me - Watch him, he might be the shooter - Look, you don't believe me, call - Gun! - Something wrong John? - He's gonna shoot him.
The guards are going to shoot Derek.
Oh my god Unit one.
They aren't answering.
We've got to stop them.
Look, Starsky and Hutch, - I'm just here to talk to Principal Rowin.
- Ok, let's go.
- Get your hands off me - Watch him, he might be the shooter - Look, you don't believe me, call - Gun! Wait a minute, stop! Guard! Don't shoot.
Derek! No! - Derek - He had a gun! He shot me? It was just a phone.
Call 911.
They responding? It was just a phone! Hang on Derek.
It gonna be OK.
