Tru Calling s01e18 Episode Script
Rear Window
TRU: PreviousIy on Tru Calling: Anyway, l just wanted to say welcome.
l'm Tru.
Jack.
JACK: A couple of years ago l died.
And then, l came back.
Some would say once you survive something like that that you were brought back for a reason.
l guess we'll see.
DAVlS: How did it go with Jack? l just can't get a read on him, for some reason.
One minute he's in your face and almost obnoxious.
The next, he's charming, trying to be your best friend.
Leave the key.
Step away from the car.
Hang on to your keys, Harrison.
-You sure about that? -Yeah.
What, you got some kind of death wish? Death isn't something you have to wish for.
lt's coming anyway.
Death is part of life.
TRU: Someone stopped us from saving her.
But that doesn't make any sense.
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
[Slow instrumental music.]
DAVlS: So you ended up ordering takeout? What did you get? TRU: Moo Shu pork.
DAVlS: Nice choice.
With the pancakes? No, straight from the box.
You? l'm just digging into a rack of lamb with some garlic mashed potatoes.
TRU: Cereal again? DAVlS: Yeah.
The doctor says l'm fiber-poor.
So what are you doing tonight? You know, the usual.
Nothing? DAVlS: Exactly.
Look, me being alone on a Friday night is one thing but you, on the other hand.
With my life, it's rejuvenating to have a night off.
And besides, l told you.
l'm between exes.
[Davis mumbling.]
What? lt's okay to say that you miss someone.
Luc? Why would you say that l miss Luc? l didn't say Luc.
You said Luc.
Yeah, well-- DAVlS: The way I see it is, just because we're aIone doesn't mean that we're IoneIy.
So by that reasoning, you'd argue that my neighbor across the way? She looks like she's having the time of her life.
DAVlS: She's probabIy miserabIe.
TRU: Gotta tell you, Davis, it sure seems like she's having fun to me.
DAVlS: Trust me.
Nothing is ever exactIy what it seems.
Listen, l've got to go.
The Outer Limits marathon is about to start.
l'll let you go.
DAVlS: Tru, for what it's worth l happen to think that you have a pretty exciting life, you know? Time travel saving Iives, pretty cooI boss.
Yeah.
Good night, Davis.
Good night, Tru.
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
WOMAN: [On Machine.]
Leave me a message, I'II caII you back.
Consider this a warning.
You can make all the trouble you want but it's only a matter of time before l find you.
And when l do, let's just say there won't be a second warning.
[Fast-paced instrumental music.]
[Theme music.]
Help me.
[Slow instrumental music.]
[Knocking on door.]
DELlVERYMAN: Delivery! [Knocking continues.]
Coming.
[Quizzical instrumental music.]
TRU: 4B, not 3B.
Four, as in upstairs! [Rhythmic instrumental music.]
Tru? Hey.
l haven't seen you around much.
l thought you moved.
No, l've just been working some weird hours lately.
But the delivery man left this at my door by accident.
Cool.
Thanks.
[Stuttering.]
Hey, Tru! Can l get your advice on something? Sure.
There is this girl.
And she lives nearby and she is amazing.
Right.
She's always busy running around all over town but whenever l see her, she just makes me want to smile.
l see.
Yeah, and, well l've been wanting to ask her out for a while but l'm afraid that if she says no, things will get weird.
You know, on account of us being neighbors.
Yeah.
l would advise you to first make sure that she's ready to date.
And after that, l would take things slow.
Right.
Yeah.
Slow.
Very slow, you know? Okay.
Makes sense.
-Okay.
Thank you.
-No problem.
Just the morgue attendant l was looking for.
l'll bet you say that to all the girls.
Remember l told you l was looking for a new apartment? l found the perfect one-bedroom.
lt's close to work, utilities included.
-Congrats.
-l haven't signed the lease yet -'cause l wanted to run it by you first.
-Me, why? The thing is, it's in the building across the street from yours and l didn't want you feeling crowded or anything.
So l figured l should check with you.
Are you kidding? You should jump on it.
TRU: Places in my neighborhood are so hard to find.
Morning, gang.
Hey, you got your state license forms.
Davis only called me three times to remind me.
So you're sure about this? Positive.
lt'll be so nice to have a friend across the street.
-Guess l got a lease to sign.
-Sweet.
LUC: See you.
TRU: Okay, bye.
[Slow instrumental music.]
DAVlS: Signed and dated.
Perfect.
You put the morgue as your mailing address.
l hope that's okay.
l've been staying at a friend's place since l moved here.
-Figured this was the best place to get me.
-Not a problem.
As a matter of fact, you got some mail this morning.
DAVlS: Here it is.
DAVlS: The Schenkman Center.
That's an impressive facility.
Yeah, one of the best in the country.
DAVlS: Were you there long? l don't remember it being on your résumé.
lt was a long time ago.
l didn't think it was relevant.
DAVlS: Did you ever run into a guy named Tom Forrester? An old college buddy of mine.
We used to play D&D on the weekends.
We called him Wizard.
Forrester.
Yeah, sure.
Big fella.
JACK: Hell of a guy.
DAVlS: Yeah.
Good old Wizard.
l wonder what he's.
DAVlS: l should give him a call.
HARRlSON: So the meet's at noon.
HARRlSON: High noon.
TRU: Don't be so dramatic.
lt's the first time me and Lindsay are seeing each other since the breakup.
We're exchanging stuff.
How is that not dramatic? Look, l want you both to be happy.
But the truth is, it's not so bad being single.
[Peppy music playing in diner.]
Who are you kidding? Not me.
And you've been busted up since you and Luc split.
TRU: That's just not true.
HARRlSON: Yeah? And what's your love life now? Talking on the phone with Davis all day? Telling me your upstairs neighbor has a crush on you? You're pleasant today.
You're right, l'm sorry.
l'm just nervous.
HARRlSON: Anyway, l got to get going.
Whose turn is it? You ask that like we actually take turns.
Yeah, well, l'll get the next one.
l'll hold my breath.
l don't care.
You listen to me, for the last time, leave me alone.
TRU: My neighbor looks like she's having the time of her life.
Some guys won't take no for an answer.
Well, try saying yes.
Yes, you're a psycho.
Yes, l was right to break up with you.
l'll have to remember that.
You look familiar.
Have we met? No, but l've seen you around the neighborhood.
Thanks, Chris.
-l'm Tru Davies.
-Chris Barronson.
-Always nice to put a name with a face.
-Absolutely.
-Thanks.
Take care.
-Bye.
One Motley Crue concert tee.
One deck of naked lady cards.
[Whooping.]
Two eggs of Silly Putty.
And 13 assorted comic books.
l've been looking for these.
All right, where's my stuff? That's it? Yeah, l turned my place upside down and that is all l could find.
That's not even mine.
Yeah, well, uh [Rhythmic instrumental music.]
Look, the reason l asked you to meet me here today is because l wanted to look you in the eye into those eyes and tell you that l want you back.
What? Just give me one more chance, that's all l'm asking for.
No, l've given you, like, 50 chances and you blew every single one of them.
You're just too self-absorbed to know it.
And you're the perfect girlfriend, right? What? You're so needy.
And demanding.
You always order the most expensive thing on the menu when you knew l couldn't afford it.
HARRlSON: Right? Hmm? [Rhythmic instrumental music continues.]
Take care of yourself, Harrison.
When will l learn to shut my mouth? Hi.
Tom Forrester, please.
[Davis clearing throat.]
Hi, Wiz? Hi, it's Gothar, the Elf King.
Yeah.
Davis.
Yeah.
Listen, turns out we have a friend in common.
Jack Harper.
[Exclaims affirmatively.]
Yeah, he used to work with you at Schenkman.
[Mysterious instrumental music.]
Mmm-Hmm.
Really? [Slow instrumental music.]
[Phone ringing.]
TRU: Hello? So your brother and l are officially through.
Can't say l'm surprised, but l'm so sorry.
LlNDSAY: He made this sad, Iast-ditch attempt to patch things up.
And when I said no, he caIIed me needy and demanding.
Can you beIieve that? [Tense instrumental music.]
Hello, Tru, you there? TRU: Yeah, sorry, I just.
There's this couple across the building and they're having this nasty fight.
LlNDSAY: Are they stiII going at it? l can't tell.
They just turned the lights off.
One guess.
Makeup sex.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Anyway, Linds, l got to get to work.
LlNDSAY: Fine.
l'll talk to you later, okay? TRU: Okay.
JACK: lncoming.
Hey, Tru? l thought you said your neighborhood was getting better? lt is.
l've got a homicide here that might disagree.
You picked this up near my place? A building across the street, if l'm not mistaken.
Victim's name is Chris Barronson, died from massive head trauma.
Chris Barronson? Friend of yours? No, we just met.
Today.
-You sure you want to see this? -Yeah.
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
That's not Chris Barronson.
-lt's what his lD said.
-No, Chris is a girl.
l saw this guy at her place earlier tonight.
He was furious about something.
You know, the cops said something about thinking the killer was a woman.
Bag this, will you? Two people, same name, same apartment? -lt's either coincidence -Doubtful.
or our buddy here's been up to no good.
Hi, Tru.
l thought you were home for the night.
-l was, but-- -Couldn't stay away? Actually, if you have a moment? l'm kind of in the middle of something.
Can it wait? lt's actually important.
We need to talk.
[Tense instrumental music.]
Tru, go ahead.
l got this.
-Tru? -Yeah.
Okay, l'm coming.
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
Please save me.
[Knocking on door.]
DELlVERYMAN: Delivery! DELlVERYMAN: Delivery! [Fast-paced instrumental music.]
Wait! Hold on! You've got the wrong apartment! Even when you relive days they still get away.
So your neighbor and victim have the same name? He's dead and she's the prime suspect? Yep.
But it wouldn't be any fun if it were easy.
Okay, well, here's a theory.
Could be identity theft.
He took her identity and she killed him for it.
DAVlS: ldentity theft is on the rise.
They're either stealing it online or taking a picture of your credit card with a cell phone.
She seemed so normal.
lt's hard to imagine her killing anyone.
People can do a lot of things in self-defense.
DAVlS: Especially when they're pushed past their limit.
For the last time, leave me alone.
-Maybe you're right.
-Hi, Jack.
Sorry to interrupt.
l just wanted to drop off my state license forms.
DAVlS: Super.
Thanks.
JACK: Hey.
TRU: Hi.
We were just going over the new intake procedure.
Cool.
You mind if l check the mail? Unfortunately, this is the only address most people have for me.
-No, go ahead.
-Thanks.
Tru, about the new intake procedure.
[Davis clearing throat.]
Were there any other clues about the victim's real identity? He had a pen with a logo on it.
lt was a sunburst with a capital ''A'' inside.
Probably from his work.
l'll look into it.
An identity thief with a day job.
All the better to meet new victims.
l got to get going.
Chris will be at the diner any minute.
Okay.
l'll call you if anything comes up.
There was something else you wanted to tell me right before the day rewound.
-l did? -You said it was important.
No clue.
Too bad l don't relive days.
DAVlS: But look on the bright side.
lf you don't change too many things today then we'll have the same conversation tonight.
Here's hoping.
HARRlSON: Yeah.
A redo day.
l get it.
No time for breakfast.
HARRlSON: But considering you're 24 hours ahead of me what happened with Lindsay yesterday? Do you want my advice? Save the sit-down for another day.
Another week even.
Man.
lt was that bad? Put it this way: Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for the heads up.
Too bad you're blowing off breakfast 'cause l would've picked up the tab today.
lt must be nice living in your world, Harry.
Jack, is Tru around? -You just missed her, man.
-Damn.
l needed to ask her something.
There's kind of a time factor.
She should be on her cell.
No, this is one of those things that's best to do in person.
Make sure she means what she says.
You mean women don't always say what they actually mean? Not the ones l fall for.
LUC: See you, man.
JACK: Yeah.
MAN: You're finished.
The fun is over.
For the last time, leave me alone.
Coffee, please.
Some guys, they just can't take no for an answer.
-Ex-boyfriend? -lt's sort of a long story.
Thanks, Chris.
You know, you look familiar.
You don't live on York by any chance? Yeah, l do.
-Same here.
l'm Tru Davies.
-Chris Barronson.
lt's always nice to put a name with a face.
Chris Barronson.
Yeah.
Have you heard of me? Sort of.
There was this guy outside your building this morning asking all these questions about you.
He seemed pretty belligerent.
About 6', dark brown hair? Same guy who just can't take no for an answer? Only he's not an ex.
Well, it's nothing l should get into.
lf you're heading home, l could walk with you.
You know, in case he's still around.
-Okay.
-Okay.
CHRlS: lt was six months ago when l found out he'd stolen my identity.
l was applying for a loan, and the bank ran a credit check.
They found 10 different credit cards in my name.
He'd used them to run up nearly $60,000 in charges.
And now he's threatening you? -Because l went to the police.
-No arrest? lD theft's tricky to prosecute.
You need absolute proof, which l don't have.
But it's getting worse because now l feel like someone's been watching me.
That's creepy.
Any idea how this all started? No, but there's a million ways.
lf you don't have a shredder, a firewall a digitally scrambled phone you may as well have a sign up saying: Ruin my life.
Anyway, thanks for the company.
And do me a favor, if you see that guy again just say l moved or something.
No problem.
Because if l run into him, there's no telling what might happen.
-Jack? -Hey.
TRU: What are you doing here? JACK: Moving in.
You're kidding? No.
l saw the ''For Rent'' sign and snapped it up.
JACK: Lucky for me.
The guy who was supposed to take it missed the deadline 'cause he had to run it by his girlfriend or something.
The thing is, it's in the building across the street from yours and l didn't want you feeling crowded.
But his loss is my gain.
Third floor, great view.
Unbelievable.
So l've heard.
JACK: l got to get started with the packing process.
l'll see you later on.
Tru, your friend, who l just met.
She wouldn't happen to be single, would she? l'm not sure a new guy is what she needs right now.
TRU: Besides, a word of advice.
Girls don't appreciate being hit on by their neighbors.
We need to find some more interesting neighbors.
Maybe you need to find some less desperate tenants.
Look, she's having guy trouble right now.
JACK: A bad breakup? TRU: Not exactly.
All right.
Fine.
Don't tell me.
l'll find out on my own soon enough.
Hey, wait.
The truth is, there's this guy that's been harassing her and the last thing she needs is-- -Two.
-Yeah.
Enough said.
TRU: Okay.
JACK: You know, Tru if that other guy really is a problem, l wouldn't mind keeping an eye on her.
l know you think l'm heartless but l have been known to show an interest in people other than myself.
Thanks, but l've got it under control.
l'd expect no less.
[Phone ringing.]
TRU: Hello.
DAVlS: Hi, it's me.
l found your logo and your identity thief.
Really? lt's a company called Advantix.
They sell medical equipment.
And there is a salesman there by the name of Chris Barronson.
Did you get an address? Don't need to.
He's coming to the morgue in 20 minutes to make a presentation.
You made an appointment with the guy? l told him we weren't happy with our current distributor.
You're always chasing the bad guy.
Why not make them come to you for once? TRU: Nice, D.
l'll see you in 20.
DAVlS: Okay.
This is my colleague, Tru.
This is Chris Barronson.
Please save me.
This is my first sales call to a morgue.
Most of our equipment's designed to keep the patient out of a place like this.
Everyone passes through sooner or later.
Right.
Anyway, let me show you guys what might be useful.
Had this job long, Mr.
Barronson? Eight, nine months.
Why? Does it pay well? Only if you buy what l sell.
l guess you don't sell that much.
All right.
Who are you people? l think who you are is the bigger question.
What? We know who the real Chris Barronson is and you are not her.
And it's only a matter of time before the police figure that out.
Right.
She's good.
l'll give her that.
She pulled a fast one on you guys.
-l don't think you get it.
-No, l do.
You don't get it.
All right, the police are on my side.
Except they're too inept to do anything about it.
Look, l'm the real Chris Barronson, okay? Here, see? All right? She stole my identity.
And if you guys know who she is you'd better talk some sense into her before l find her myself.
[Tense instrumental music.]
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
The DMV has his picture on file back to the early '90s.
The state police confirm there were six identity theft reports filed by a man named Chris Barronson.
Looks like he's the real deal.
Which means the girl you met in the diner isn't.
She probably gave me that name because it was on the credit card she was using.
l've spent the day helping a con woman while the guy who needs help wants nothing to do with me.
Helping the criminal may be the only way to help the victim.
Since the real Chris won't talk to you, focus on the fake one.
See if you can't keep her from committing a murder today.
Right.
[cellphone ringing.]
TRU: Hello.
JACK: It's Jack.
TRU: What's up? JACK: Your friend's on the move.
TRU: She left the building? JACK: But don't worry.
JACK: l'm keeping an eye on her.
TRU: You foIIowed her? You seemed worried about her.
Thought l was doing you a favor.
TRU: Where is she now? JACK: She's headed back into your neighborhood.
But about an hour ago, she was in a jewelry store downtown.
Did she buy anything? Yeah, a necklace.
But she didn't keep it long.
She walked six blocks to a pawnshop and sold it for half of what she just paid for it.
Crazy.
She's aImost home now.
She's all yours.
l got some errands to run.
Wait, Jack? You got to let me hang up so you can miss me.
Cute, but, no.
You followed her.
l can't help wondering why.
She looked like she might be in trouble.
And aside from a little white-collar crime, she's harmless.
Just be careful.
She's not exactly who she seems.
Who is? -Jack is following her? -He was trying to help.
Listen, l want you to take this before you go.
lt's the name and the number of the cop l talked to, just in case.
Who's Tom Forrester? He's an old college buddy of mine, but l haven't talked to him in years.
Why? Yesterday, you had a note to call him.
Remember to find out what it is you want to tell me.
We have to keep the days as similar as possible.
Okay.
l'll give him a ring.
He's a hell of a guy.
Great Dungeon Master.
God, did l just say that out loud? [Soft instrumental music.]
[Phone ringing.]
Harrison.
HARRlSON: Look, about today, l.
LlNDSAY: Let me guess.
Not gonna work for you.
No, not so much.
You lost all my stuff, didn't you? No.
lt's not that.
lt's just.
lt just isn't the best day for it.
Why not? Well, because, l got to.
lt just isn't.
Okay? Fine.
Whatever.
We'll just do it tomorrow, same time, same place.
HARRlSON: l'll be there.
l promise.
LlNDSAY: Yeah.
Bye.
You better be right about this, Tru.
Excuse me, miss? l didn't want you to forget this.
-Randall? -Lindsay? [Laughing.]
My God.
Feel like telling me who you really are? l already told you.
l'm Chris Barronson.
Look, don't bother.
l know you're not.
l know you've been buying jewelry with someone else's credit card and pawning it off for quick cash.
How did you know that? lt doesn't really matter.
lt's just time for you to stop.
Just give this guy, Chris, his life back.
l will.
Someday.
Someday isn't soon enough.
Trust me on this.
l don't trust anyone.
That's why l'm so good at what l do.
Stay out of it, Tru.
You're in over your head.
Hey, Tru.
What a nice surprise.
How's it going? TRU: Good, thanks.
l got a package for you delivered to me inadvertently this morning.
Do you want to come up and.
There's this girl.
Right.
l've been wanting to ask her out.
You know what? l'll just drop it off later.
l'll save you the time, okay? l'd be happy to come by.
l'd love to see your place.
-l'm actually just in a hurry, so.
-Okay.
Can l ask you one question? Sorry, l'm in the middle of something.
But l'll catch up with you later, okay? DAVlS: What is she doing now? TRU: Looks like she's packing.
DAVlS: What is she doing now? TRU: Looks like she's packing.
DAVlS: That's good.
Maybe you spooked her enough so she'II be gone by the time the reaI Chris Barronson shows up.
Maybe, but we can't count on it.
-l talked to Tom Forrester, by the way.
-And? He told me about his wife and his kids and his research after leaving the Schenkman Center.
But it's certainly nothing l need to discuss with you.
lt was worth a shot.
DAVlS: You don't think that the important thing has anything to do with the kidney stone l passed last week, do you? Okay, probably not.
l'll keep looking.
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
[Beeping.]
l know you think you can handle this, but you're the one in over her head.
TRU: It'II onIy get worse.
Running won't soIve anything.
Let me help you or l'll tell the police where to find you.
lt's your choice.
[Sustained buzzing.]
lt was just so easy, you know? Like free money.
And at first, l only did it to get by.
But now, it's.
God, you got to believe me.
l had no idea it would go this far.
Okay.
But it has.
And now we have to do something about it.
l'm scared.
The messages this guy's been leaving for me.
What if l paid him back? Do you think he would still turn me in to the police? You can pay him back? Yeah, l could give him cash.
Really? You have that much money? l told you, l was good.
lf only that were something to be proud of.
[Somber instrumental music.]
You.
You turned my life upside down.
She wants to make amends.
That's why l called.
Sure, now that l know where to find her.
-l'm so sorry.
-You're sorry? -l'm so sorry.
-You're sorry? -No, l really am.
-Sorry doesn't cover it.
Here.
Maybe this will.
lt's the least l can do with you giving me a second chance.
l almost forgot.
Here.
The credit card l took out in your name.
lf l ever hear from you again, or if l see you-- You won't.
l promise.
Fine.
CHRlS: l have a phone call to make.
And you? You should be gone when l get back.
Thanks, Tru.
l know you probably don't care but my real name is Cathy.
lt's nice to meet you, Cathy.
CATHY: Here, let me get this.
TRU: No, l got it.
This one's on me.
Thank you again for everything.
TRU: Hey.
You caught me using a city vehicle for personal business.
What vehicle? l want to thank you for helping me out today.
lt's nothing you wouldn't have done for me.
Thanks.
Still, l mean you took it upon yourself to look out for someone l told you was in trouble, no questions asked.
Should l have asked some? l can't help thinking most people would.
Whatever's going on between you and your friend it's none of my business.
-lt's never stopped you before.
-All right, fine.
Tell me.
And if l don't? l'll ply you with alcohol and pry it out of you.
Right.
Or you'll owe me one.
Lock up the van for me, will you? -Keys? -They must be inside.
-l talked to Tom Forrester.
-And? He told me about his research after leaving the Schenkman Center.
Here you go.
l guess you can lock up yourself.
CHRlS: Hey.
WAlTRESS: Hey.
Could l get a roast beef sandwich to go? Sure thing.
-Nothing smaller? -No, not tonight.
l'm sorry, but this bill's a fake.
You got to be kidding me.
You said your friend Tom worked at the Schenkman Center, right? Did you mention Jack when you spoke to him? No, why would l? TRU: Jack had a letter from the Schenkman Center in his coat.
l bet you found it first yesterday.
Why don't l give Tom another call? Yeah, just let me know what he says, okay? Here we go again.
[Tense instrumental music.]
[Beeping.]
Lock yourself out? Yeah, it happens to me at least once a week.
Here, l'm sorry.
l'm the new tenant.
CHRlS: l appreciate it.
JACK: You bet.
JACK: Here you go.
CHRlS: Thank you.
TRU: Matt? [Mysterious instrumental music.]
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
Now l feel like someone's been watching me.
There is this girl.
And she lives nearby.
[Dramatic instrumental music intensifies.]
TRU: Chris.
What is he doing? [Arresting instrumental music.]
Matt? [Racy instrumental music.]
[Beeping.]
TRU: Come on.
JACK: HeIIo? Jack, it's Tru! l need to get in.
Hey, Tru.
What are you doing on this side of the street? Please, Jack, l need to get into Cathy's apartment right away.
Cathy? Who's Cathy? Chris.
Chris is Cathy.
The girl that you followed.
-Please, Jack, hurry! -Okay.
Let me just try and figure this thing out.
It's trickier than I thought.
Did that do it? Thanks.
Excuse me.
JACK: Tru, did that do it? Tru? Tru? [Matt exclaiming.]
l'm telling you, stay away from her! She's a nice girl! Put it down, Matt.
MATT: He broke into her apartment! He wants to hurt her! l know you want to protect her, but you don't know anything about her! Yes, l do! l watched her every single day since she moved in.
l know her better than anyone.
No, she's not who you think.
Look, she's a thief.
She stole this man's identity.
No.
She can't be.
She's perfect! She would never do that! lt's okay, Matt.
You're not the only one that she's fooled.
But l'm telling you the truth.
She's stolen thousands of dollars.
She's ruined people's lives.
She's a thief? l'm sorry.
[Matt breathing heavily.]
MATT: l'm sorry.
TRU: Are you okay? Why did you come here? l thought that we had an agreement.
Yeah, we did.
Till l found out that the money she gave me was fake.
Now she's gone, l'm still broke and l'm probably never gonna see her again.
You never know.
Stranger things have happened.
l don't understand what's taking so long.
lt's been 45 minutes already.
l'm very sorry.
Did my card not go through? The card number's fine, but our computer's down.
Just give us another minute, we'll get you all sorted out, Miss Davies.
TRU: Heading out of town, Tru? You know, it's a good thing l don't believe every sob story l hear.
Mine, for example? You almost had me.
But then you absolutely blew it back there at the diner.
This one's on me.
You pulled out your camera cell phone the second l put my credit card down.
All l had to do was call the credit card company and report a stolen credit card.
l knew you had the number, but l was hoping that you wouldn't use it.
Then l got the call.
WOMAN: Miss, there's activity reported on your credit card at A vaIon Car RentaI.
TRU: Thank you.
ls it too late for me to explain? To me? Yeah.
But l know a couple of guys who'd be happy to listen.
[Police siren wailing.]
TRU: Really, you had a good day? LlNDSAY: It was the best, Tru.
The perfect afternoon with the perfect guy.
Wait, you were with my brother? No.
Harrison was his usual self.
Called to cancel after l was already there.
But that's how l spotted Randall.
Randall? l met him a few years ago when l was studying abroad.
He's actuaIIy in town for a few weeks and he's a totaI opposite of your brother.
TRU: Well, lucky break.
Just when l was starting to think they didn't make them like this anymore.
Yeah, l know what you mean.
Good night, Tru.
LUC: [On Machine.]
Hey, it's Luc.
I couIdn't get to the phone right now.
Leave me a message.
Hey, Luc, it's me, Tru.
l heard through the grapevine that you missed out on that apartment across the street and I just wanted to caII and say that I'm sorry.
I know that we're not together anymore but it would've been nice to be neighbors.
Just to know you were close.
I'II taIk to you soon.
I just wanted to caII.
Okay, bye.
[Phone ringing.]
Luc? No, Tru.
lt's me, l'm sorry.
l saw the morgue number and thought he was working tonight.
What's up? l talked to my friend at Schenkman.
What l had to tell you is definitely about Jack.
Turns out he was a patient there.
A patient? But Schenkman's a psychiatric facility.
lt seems like he was there voluntarily.
He checked himself in so he could check himself out.
Well, we knew something was off with Jack, but-- DAVlS: There's more.
When Jack committed himseIf, he thought he was going crazy.
But the doctors couldn't diagnosis it.
Going crazy how? He thought he was reliving days.
[Slow instrumental music.]
Reliving days? Like me? Exactly like you.
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
[Rock music.]
l'm Tru.
Jack.
JACK: A couple of years ago l died.
And then, l came back.
Some would say once you survive something like that that you were brought back for a reason.
l guess we'll see.
DAVlS: How did it go with Jack? l just can't get a read on him, for some reason.
One minute he's in your face and almost obnoxious.
The next, he's charming, trying to be your best friend.
Leave the key.
Step away from the car.
Hang on to your keys, Harrison.
-You sure about that? -Yeah.
What, you got some kind of death wish? Death isn't something you have to wish for.
lt's coming anyway.
Death is part of life.
TRU: Someone stopped us from saving her.
But that doesn't make any sense.
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
[Slow instrumental music.]
DAVlS: So you ended up ordering takeout? What did you get? TRU: Moo Shu pork.
DAVlS: Nice choice.
With the pancakes? No, straight from the box.
You? l'm just digging into a rack of lamb with some garlic mashed potatoes.
TRU: Cereal again? DAVlS: Yeah.
The doctor says l'm fiber-poor.
So what are you doing tonight? You know, the usual.
Nothing? DAVlS: Exactly.
Look, me being alone on a Friday night is one thing but you, on the other hand.
With my life, it's rejuvenating to have a night off.
And besides, l told you.
l'm between exes.
[Davis mumbling.]
What? lt's okay to say that you miss someone.
Luc? Why would you say that l miss Luc? l didn't say Luc.
You said Luc.
Yeah, well-- DAVlS: The way I see it is, just because we're aIone doesn't mean that we're IoneIy.
So by that reasoning, you'd argue that my neighbor across the way? She looks like she's having the time of her life.
DAVlS: She's probabIy miserabIe.
TRU: Gotta tell you, Davis, it sure seems like she's having fun to me.
DAVlS: Trust me.
Nothing is ever exactIy what it seems.
Listen, l've got to go.
The Outer Limits marathon is about to start.
l'll let you go.
DAVlS: Tru, for what it's worth l happen to think that you have a pretty exciting life, you know? Time travel saving Iives, pretty cooI boss.
Yeah.
Good night, Davis.
Good night, Tru.
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
WOMAN: [On Machine.]
Leave me a message, I'II caII you back.
Consider this a warning.
You can make all the trouble you want but it's only a matter of time before l find you.
And when l do, let's just say there won't be a second warning.
[Fast-paced instrumental music.]
[Theme music.]
Help me.
[Slow instrumental music.]
[Knocking on door.]
DELlVERYMAN: Delivery! [Knocking continues.]
Coming.
[Quizzical instrumental music.]
TRU: 4B, not 3B.
Four, as in upstairs! [Rhythmic instrumental music.]
Tru? Hey.
l haven't seen you around much.
l thought you moved.
No, l've just been working some weird hours lately.
But the delivery man left this at my door by accident.
Cool.
Thanks.
[Stuttering.]
Hey, Tru! Can l get your advice on something? Sure.
There is this girl.
And she lives nearby and she is amazing.
Right.
She's always busy running around all over town but whenever l see her, she just makes me want to smile.
l see.
Yeah, and, well l've been wanting to ask her out for a while but l'm afraid that if she says no, things will get weird.
You know, on account of us being neighbors.
Yeah.
l would advise you to first make sure that she's ready to date.
And after that, l would take things slow.
Right.
Yeah.
Slow.
Very slow, you know? Okay.
Makes sense.
-Okay.
Thank you.
-No problem.
Just the morgue attendant l was looking for.
l'll bet you say that to all the girls.
Remember l told you l was looking for a new apartment? l found the perfect one-bedroom.
lt's close to work, utilities included.
-Congrats.
-l haven't signed the lease yet -'cause l wanted to run it by you first.
-Me, why? The thing is, it's in the building across the street from yours and l didn't want you feeling crowded or anything.
So l figured l should check with you.
Are you kidding? You should jump on it.
TRU: Places in my neighborhood are so hard to find.
Morning, gang.
Hey, you got your state license forms.
Davis only called me three times to remind me.
So you're sure about this? Positive.
lt'll be so nice to have a friend across the street.
-Guess l got a lease to sign.
-Sweet.
LUC: See you.
TRU: Okay, bye.
[Slow instrumental music.]
DAVlS: Signed and dated.
Perfect.
You put the morgue as your mailing address.
l hope that's okay.
l've been staying at a friend's place since l moved here.
-Figured this was the best place to get me.
-Not a problem.
As a matter of fact, you got some mail this morning.
DAVlS: Here it is.
DAVlS: The Schenkman Center.
That's an impressive facility.
Yeah, one of the best in the country.
DAVlS: Were you there long? l don't remember it being on your résumé.
lt was a long time ago.
l didn't think it was relevant.
DAVlS: Did you ever run into a guy named Tom Forrester? An old college buddy of mine.
We used to play D&D on the weekends.
We called him Wizard.
Forrester.
Yeah, sure.
Big fella.
JACK: Hell of a guy.
DAVlS: Yeah.
Good old Wizard.
l wonder what he's.
DAVlS: l should give him a call.
HARRlSON: So the meet's at noon.
HARRlSON: High noon.
TRU: Don't be so dramatic.
lt's the first time me and Lindsay are seeing each other since the breakup.
We're exchanging stuff.
How is that not dramatic? Look, l want you both to be happy.
But the truth is, it's not so bad being single.
[Peppy music playing in diner.]
Who are you kidding? Not me.
And you've been busted up since you and Luc split.
TRU: That's just not true.
HARRlSON: Yeah? And what's your love life now? Talking on the phone with Davis all day? Telling me your upstairs neighbor has a crush on you? You're pleasant today.
You're right, l'm sorry.
l'm just nervous.
HARRlSON: Anyway, l got to get going.
Whose turn is it? You ask that like we actually take turns.
Yeah, well, l'll get the next one.
l'll hold my breath.
l don't care.
You listen to me, for the last time, leave me alone.
TRU: My neighbor looks like she's having the time of her life.
Some guys won't take no for an answer.
Well, try saying yes.
Yes, you're a psycho.
Yes, l was right to break up with you.
l'll have to remember that.
You look familiar.
Have we met? No, but l've seen you around the neighborhood.
Thanks, Chris.
-l'm Tru Davies.
-Chris Barronson.
-Always nice to put a name with a face.
-Absolutely.
-Thanks.
Take care.
-Bye.
One Motley Crue concert tee.
One deck of naked lady cards.
[Whooping.]
Two eggs of Silly Putty.
And 13 assorted comic books.
l've been looking for these.
All right, where's my stuff? That's it? Yeah, l turned my place upside down and that is all l could find.
That's not even mine.
Yeah, well, uh [Rhythmic instrumental music.]
Look, the reason l asked you to meet me here today is because l wanted to look you in the eye into those eyes and tell you that l want you back.
What? Just give me one more chance, that's all l'm asking for.
No, l've given you, like, 50 chances and you blew every single one of them.
You're just too self-absorbed to know it.
And you're the perfect girlfriend, right? What? You're so needy.
And demanding.
You always order the most expensive thing on the menu when you knew l couldn't afford it.
HARRlSON: Right? Hmm? [Rhythmic instrumental music continues.]
Take care of yourself, Harrison.
When will l learn to shut my mouth? Hi.
Tom Forrester, please.
[Davis clearing throat.]
Hi, Wiz? Hi, it's Gothar, the Elf King.
Yeah.
Davis.
Yeah.
Listen, turns out we have a friend in common.
Jack Harper.
[Exclaims affirmatively.]
Yeah, he used to work with you at Schenkman.
[Mysterious instrumental music.]
Mmm-Hmm.
Really? [Slow instrumental music.]
[Phone ringing.]
TRU: Hello? So your brother and l are officially through.
Can't say l'm surprised, but l'm so sorry.
LlNDSAY: He made this sad, Iast-ditch attempt to patch things up.
And when I said no, he caIIed me needy and demanding.
Can you beIieve that? [Tense instrumental music.]
Hello, Tru, you there? TRU: Yeah, sorry, I just.
There's this couple across the building and they're having this nasty fight.
LlNDSAY: Are they stiII going at it? l can't tell.
They just turned the lights off.
One guess.
Makeup sex.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Anyway, Linds, l got to get to work.
LlNDSAY: Fine.
l'll talk to you later, okay? TRU: Okay.
JACK: lncoming.
Hey, Tru? l thought you said your neighborhood was getting better? lt is.
l've got a homicide here that might disagree.
You picked this up near my place? A building across the street, if l'm not mistaken.
Victim's name is Chris Barronson, died from massive head trauma.
Chris Barronson? Friend of yours? No, we just met.
Today.
-You sure you want to see this? -Yeah.
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
That's not Chris Barronson.
-lt's what his lD said.
-No, Chris is a girl.
l saw this guy at her place earlier tonight.
He was furious about something.
You know, the cops said something about thinking the killer was a woman.
Bag this, will you? Two people, same name, same apartment? -lt's either coincidence -Doubtful.
or our buddy here's been up to no good.
Hi, Tru.
l thought you were home for the night.
-l was, but-- -Couldn't stay away? Actually, if you have a moment? l'm kind of in the middle of something.
Can it wait? lt's actually important.
We need to talk.
[Tense instrumental music.]
Tru, go ahead.
l got this.
-Tru? -Yeah.
Okay, l'm coming.
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
Please save me.
[Knocking on door.]
DELlVERYMAN: Delivery! DELlVERYMAN: Delivery! [Fast-paced instrumental music.]
Wait! Hold on! You've got the wrong apartment! Even when you relive days they still get away.
So your neighbor and victim have the same name? He's dead and she's the prime suspect? Yep.
But it wouldn't be any fun if it were easy.
Okay, well, here's a theory.
Could be identity theft.
He took her identity and she killed him for it.
DAVlS: ldentity theft is on the rise.
They're either stealing it online or taking a picture of your credit card with a cell phone.
She seemed so normal.
lt's hard to imagine her killing anyone.
People can do a lot of things in self-defense.
DAVlS: Especially when they're pushed past their limit.
For the last time, leave me alone.
-Maybe you're right.
-Hi, Jack.
Sorry to interrupt.
l just wanted to drop off my state license forms.
DAVlS: Super.
Thanks.
JACK: Hey.
TRU: Hi.
We were just going over the new intake procedure.
Cool.
You mind if l check the mail? Unfortunately, this is the only address most people have for me.
-No, go ahead.
-Thanks.
Tru, about the new intake procedure.
[Davis clearing throat.]
Were there any other clues about the victim's real identity? He had a pen with a logo on it.
lt was a sunburst with a capital ''A'' inside.
Probably from his work.
l'll look into it.
An identity thief with a day job.
All the better to meet new victims.
l got to get going.
Chris will be at the diner any minute.
Okay.
l'll call you if anything comes up.
There was something else you wanted to tell me right before the day rewound.
-l did? -You said it was important.
No clue.
Too bad l don't relive days.
DAVlS: But look on the bright side.
lf you don't change too many things today then we'll have the same conversation tonight.
Here's hoping.
HARRlSON: Yeah.
A redo day.
l get it.
No time for breakfast.
HARRlSON: But considering you're 24 hours ahead of me what happened with Lindsay yesterday? Do you want my advice? Save the sit-down for another day.
Another week even.
Man.
lt was that bad? Put it this way: Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for the heads up.
Too bad you're blowing off breakfast 'cause l would've picked up the tab today.
lt must be nice living in your world, Harry.
Jack, is Tru around? -You just missed her, man.
-Damn.
l needed to ask her something.
There's kind of a time factor.
She should be on her cell.
No, this is one of those things that's best to do in person.
Make sure she means what she says.
You mean women don't always say what they actually mean? Not the ones l fall for.
LUC: See you, man.
JACK: Yeah.
MAN: You're finished.
The fun is over.
For the last time, leave me alone.
Coffee, please.
Some guys, they just can't take no for an answer.
-Ex-boyfriend? -lt's sort of a long story.
Thanks, Chris.
You know, you look familiar.
You don't live on York by any chance? Yeah, l do.
-Same here.
l'm Tru Davies.
-Chris Barronson.
lt's always nice to put a name with a face.
Chris Barronson.
Yeah.
Have you heard of me? Sort of.
There was this guy outside your building this morning asking all these questions about you.
He seemed pretty belligerent.
About 6', dark brown hair? Same guy who just can't take no for an answer? Only he's not an ex.
Well, it's nothing l should get into.
lf you're heading home, l could walk with you.
You know, in case he's still around.
-Okay.
-Okay.
CHRlS: lt was six months ago when l found out he'd stolen my identity.
l was applying for a loan, and the bank ran a credit check.
They found 10 different credit cards in my name.
He'd used them to run up nearly $60,000 in charges.
And now he's threatening you? -Because l went to the police.
-No arrest? lD theft's tricky to prosecute.
You need absolute proof, which l don't have.
But it's getting worse because now l feel like someone's been watching me.
That's creepy.
Any idea how this all started? No, but there's a million ways.
lf you don't have a shredder, a firewall a digitally scrambled phone you may as well have a sign up saying: Ruin my life.
Anyway, thanks for the company.
And do me a favor, if you see that guy again just say l moved or something.
No problem.
Because if l run into him, there's no telling what might happen.
-Jack? -Hey.
TRU: What are you doing here? JACK: Moving in.
You're kidding? No.
l saw the ''For Rent'' sign and snapped it up.
JACK: Lucky for me.
The guy who was supposed to take it missed the deadline 'cause he had to run it by his girlfriend or something.
The thing is, it's in the building across the street from yours and l didn't want you feeling crowded.
But his loss is my gain.
Third floor, great view.
Unbelievable.
So l've heard.
JACK: l got to get started with the packing process.
l'll see you later on.
Tru, your friend, who l just met.
She wouldn't happen to be single, would she? l'm not sure a new guy is what she needs right now.
TRU: Besides, a word of advice.
Girls don't appreciate being hit on by their neighbors.
We need to find some more interesting neighbors.
Maybe you need to find some less desperate tenants.
Look, she's having guy trouble right now.
JACK: A bad breakup? TRU: Not exactly.
All right.
Fine.
Don't tell me.
l'll find out on my own soon enough.
Hey, wait.
The truth is, there's this guy that's been harassing her and the last thing she needs is-- -Two.
-Yeah.
Enough said.
TRU: Okay.
JACK: You know, Tru if that other guy really is a problem, l wouldn't mind keeping an eye on her.
l know you think l'm heartless but l have been known to show an interest in people other than myself.
Thanks, but l've got it under control.
l'd expect no less.
[Phone ringing.]
TRU: Hello.
DAVlS: Hi, it's me.
l found your logo and your identity thief.
Really? lt's a company called Advantix.
They sell medical equipment.
And there is a salesman there by the name of Chris Barronson.
Did you get an address? Don't need to.
He's coming to the morgue in 20 minutes to make a presentation.
You made an appointment with the guy? l told him we weren't happy with our current distributor.
You're always chasing the bad guy.
Why not make them come to you for once? TRU: Nice, D.
l'll see you in 20.
DAVlS: Okay.
This is my colleague, Tru.
This is Chris Barronson.
Please save me.
This is my first sales call to a morgue.
Most of our equipment's designed to keep the patient out of a place like this.
Everyone passes through sooner or later.
Right.
Anyway, let me show you guys what might be useful.
Had this job long, Mr.
Barronson? Eight, nine months.
Why? Does it pay well? Only if you buy what l sell.
l guess you don't sell that much.
All right.
Who are you people? l think who you are is the bigger question.
What? We know who the real Chris Barronson is and you are not her.
And it's only a matter of time before the police figure that out.
Right.
She's good.
l'll give her that.
She pulled a fast one on you guys.
-l don't think you get it.
-No, l do.
You don't get it.
All right, the police are on my side.
Except they're too inept to do anything about it.
Look, l'm the real Chris Barronson, okay? Here, see? All right? She stole my identity.
And if you guys know who she is you'd better talk some sense into her before l find her myself.
[Tense instrumental music.]
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
The DMV has his picture on file back to the early '90s.
The state police confirm there were six identity theft reports filed by a man named Chris Barronson.
Looks like he's the real deal.
Which means the girl you met in the diner isn't.
She probably gave me that name because it was on the credit card she was using.
l've spent the day helping a con woman while the guy who needs help wants nothing to do with me.
Helping the criminal may be the only way to help the victim.
Since the real Chris won't talk to you, focus on the fake one.
See if you can't keep her from committing a murder today.
Right.
[cellphone ringing.]
TRU: Hello.
JACK: It's Jack.
TRU: What's up? JACK: Your friend's on the move.
TRU: She left the building? JACK: But don't worry.
JACK: l'm keeping an eye on her.
TRU: You foIIowed her? You seemed worried about her.
Thought l was doing you a favor.
TRU: Where is she now? JACK: She's headed back into your neighborhood.
But about an hour ago, she was in a jewelry store downtown.
Did she buy anything? Yeah, a necklace.
But she didn't keep it long.
She walked six blocks to a pawnshop and sold it for half of what she just paid for it.
Crazy.
She's aImost home now.
She's all yours.
l got some errands to run.
Wait, Jack? You got to let me hang up so you can miss me.
Cute, but, no.
You followed her.
l can't help wondering why.
She looked like she might be in trouble.
And aside from a little white-collar crime, she's harmless.
Just be careful.
She's not exactly who she seems.
Who is? -Jack is following her? -He was trying to help.
Listen, l want you to take this before you go.
lt's the name and the number of the cop l talked to, just in case.
Who's Tom Forrester? He's an old college buddy of mine, but l haven't talked to him in years.
Why? Yesterday, you had a note to call him.
Remember to find out what it is you want to tell me.
We have to keep the days as similar as possible.
Okay.
l'll give him a ring.
He's a hell of a guy.
Great Dungeon Master.
God, did l just say that out loud? [Soft instrumental music.]
[Phone ringing.]
Harrison.
HARRlSON: Look, about today, l.
LlNDSAY: Let me guess.
Not gonna work for you.
No, not so much.
You lost all my stuff, didn't you? No.
lt's not that.
lt's just.
lt just isn't the best day for it.
Why not? Well, because, l got to.
lt just isn't.
Okay? Fine.
Whatever.
We'll just do it tomorrow, same time, same place.
HARRlSON: l'll be there.
l promise.
LlNDSAY: Yeah.
Bye.
You better be right about this, Tru.
Excuse me, miss? l didn't want you to forget this.
-Randall? -Lindsay? [Laughing.]
My God.
Feel like telling me who you really are? l already told you.
l'm Chris Barronson.
Look, don't bother.
l know you're not.
l know you've been buying jewelry with someone else's credit card and pawning it off for quick cash.
How did you know that? lt doesn't really matter.
lt's just time for you to stop.
Just give this guy, Chris, his life back.
l will.
Someday.
Someday isn't soon enough.
Trust me on this.
l don't trust anyone.
That's why l'm so good at what l do.
Stay out of it, Tru.
You're in over your head.
Hey, Tru.
What a nice surprise.
How's it going? TRU: Good, thanks.
l got a package for you delivered to me inadvertently this morning.
Do you want to come up and.
There's this girl.
Right.
l've been wanting to ask her out.
You know what? l'll just drop it off later.
l'll save you the time, okay? l'd be happy to come by.
l'd love to see your place.
-l'm actually just in a hurry, so.
-Okay.
Can l ask you one question? Sorry, l'm in the middle of something.
But l'll catch up with you later, okay? DAVlS: What is she doing now? TRU: Looks like she's packing.
DAVlS: What is she doing now? TRU: Looks like she's packing.
DAVlS: That's good.
Maybe you spooked her enough so she'II be gone by the time the reaI Chris Barronson shows up.
Maybe, but we can't count on it.
-l talked to Tom Forrester, by the way.
-And? He told me about his wife and his kids and his research after leaving the Schenkman Center.
But it's certainly nothing l need to discuss with you.
lt was worth a shot.
DAVlS: You don't think that the important thing has anything to do with the kidney stone l passed last week, do you? Okay, probably not.
l'll keep looking.
[Suspenseful instrumental music.]
[Beeping.]
l know you think you can handle this, but you're the one in over her head.
TRU: It'II onIy get worse.
Running won't soIve anything.
Let me help you or l'll tell the police where to find you.
lt's your choice.
[Sustained buzzing.]
lt was just so easy, you know? Like free money.
And at first, l only did it to get by.
But now, it's.
God, you got to believe me.
l had no idea it would go this far.
Okay.
But it has.
And now we have to do something about it.
l'm scared.
The messages this guy's been leaving for me.
What if l paid him back? Do you think he would still turn me in to the police? You can pay him back? Yeah, l could give him cash.
Really? You have that much money? l told you, l was good.
lf only that were something to be proud of.
[Somber instrumental music.]
You.
You turned my life upside down.
She wants to make amends.
That's why l called.
Sure, now that l know where to find her.
-l'm so sorry.
-You're sorry? -l'm so sorry.
-You're sorry? -No, l really am.
-Sorry doesn't cover it.
Here.
Maybe this will.
lt's the least l can do with you giving me a second chance.
l almost forgot.
Here.
The credit card l took out in your name.
lf l ever hear from you again, or if l see you-- You won't.
l promise.
Fine.
CHRlS: l have a phone call to make.
And you? You should be gone when l get back.
Thanks, Tru.
l know you probably don't care but my real name is Cathy.
lt's nice to meet you, Cathy.
CATHY: Here, let me get this.
TRU: No, l got it.
This one's on me.
Thank you again for everything.
TRU: Hey.
You caught me using a city vehicle for personal business.
What vehicle? l want to thank you for helping me out today.
lt's nothing you wouldn't have done for me.
Thanks.
Still, l mean you took it upon yourself to look out for someone l told you was in trouble, no questions asked.
Should l have asked some? l can't help thinking most people would.
Whatever's going on between you and your friend it's none of my business.
-lt's never stopped you before.
-All right, fine.
Tell me.
And if l don't? l'll ply you with alcohol and pry it out of you.
Right.
Or you'll owe me one.
Lock up the van for me, will you? -Keys? -They must be inside.
-l talked to Tom Forrester.
-And? He told me about his research after leaving the Schenkman Center.
Here you go.
l guess you can lock up yourself.
CHRlS: Hey.
WAlTRESS: Hey.
Could l get a roast beef sandwich to go? Sure thing.
-Nothing smaller? -No, not tonight.
l'm sorry, but this bill's a fake.
You got to be kidding me.
You said your friend Tom worked at the Schenkman Center, right? Did you mention Jack when you spoke to him? No, why would l? TRU: Jack had a letter from the Schenkman Center in his coat.
l bet you found it first yesterday.
Why don't l give Tom another call? Yeah, just let me know what he says, okay? Here we go again.
[Tense instrumental music.]
[Beeping.]
Lock yourself out? Yeah, it happens to me at least once a week.
Here, l'm sorry.
l'm the new tenant.
CHRlS: l appreciate it.
JACK: You bet.
JACK: Here you go.
CHRlS: Thank you.
TRU: Matt? [Mysterious instrumental music.]
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
Now l feel like someone's been watching me.
There is this girl.
And she lives nearby.
[Dramatic instrumental music intensifies.]
TRU: Chris.
What is he doing? [Arresting instrumental music.]
Matt? [Racy instrumental music.]
[Beeping.]
TRU: Come on.
JACK: HeIIo? Jack, it's Tru! l need to get in.
Hey, Tru.
What are you doing on this side of the street? Please, Jack, l need to get into Cathy's apartment right away.
Cathy? Who's Cathy? Chris.
Chris is Cathy.
The girl that you followed.
-Please, Jack, hurry! -Okay.
Let me just try and figure this thing out.
It's trickier than I thought.
Did that do it? Thanks.
Excuse me.
JACK: Tru, did that do it? Tru? Tru? [Matt exclaiming.]
l'm telling you, stay away from her! She's a nice girl! Put it down, Matt.
MATT: He broke into her apartment! He wants to hurt her! l know you want to protect her, but you don't know anything about her! Yes, l do! l watched her every single day since she moved in.
l know her better than anyone.
No, she's not who you think.
Look, she's a thief.
She stole this man's identity.
No.
She can't be.
She's perfect! She would never do that! lt's okay, Matt.
You're not the only one that she's fooled.
But l'm telling you the truth.
She's stolen thousands of dollars.
She's ruined people's lives.
She's a thief? l'm sorry.
[Matt breathing heavily.]
MATT: l'm sorry.
TRU: Are you okay? Why did you come here? l thought that we had an agreement.
Yeah, we did.
Till l found out that the money she gave me was fake.
Now she's gone, l'm still broke and l'm probably never gonna see her again.
You never know.
Stranger things have happened.
l don't understand what's taking so long.
lt's been 45 minutes already.
l'm very sorry.
Did my card not go through? The card number's fine, but our computer's down.
Just give us another minute, we'll get you all sorted out, Miss Davies.
TRU: Heading out of town, Tru? You know, it's a good thing l don't believe every sob story l hear.
Mine, for example? You almost had me.
But then you absolutely blew it back there at the diner.
This one's on me.
You pulled out your camera cell phone the second l put my credit card down.
All l had to do was call the credit card company and report a stolen credit card.
l knew you had the number, but l was hoping that you wouldn't use it.
Then l got the call.
WOMAN: Miss, there's activity reported on your credit card at A vaIon Car RentaI.
TRU: Thank you.
ls it too late for me to explain? To me? Yeah.
But l know a couple of guys who'd be happy to listen.
[Police siren wailing.]
TRU: Really, you had a good day? LlNDSAY: It was the best, Tru.
The perfect afternoon with the perfect guy.
Wait, you were with my brother? No.
Harrison was his usual self.
Called to cancel after l was already there.
But that's how l spotted Randall.
Randall? l met him a few years ago when l was studying abroad.
He's actuaIIy in town for a few weeks and he's a totaI opposite of your brother.
TRU: Well, lucky break.
Just when l was starting to think they didn't make them like this anymore.
Yeah, l know what you mean.
Good night, Tru.
LUC: [On Machine.]
Hey, it's Luc.
I couIdn't get to the phone right now.
Leave me a message.
Hey, Luc, it's me, Tru.
l heard through the grapevine that you missed out on that apartment across the street and I just wanted to caII and say that I'm sorry.
I know that we're not together anymore but it would've been nice to be neighbors.
Just to know you were close.
I'II taIk to you soon.
I just wanted to caII.
Okay, bye.
[Phone ringing.]
Luc? No, Tru.
lt's me, l'm sorry.
l saw the morgue number and thought he was working tonight.
What's up? l talked to my friend at Schenkman.
What l had to tell you is definitely about Jack.
Turns out he was a patient there.
A patient? But Schenkman's a psychiatric facility.
lt seems like he was there voluntarily.
He checked himself in so he could check himself out.
Well, we knew something was off with Jack, but-- DAVlS: There's more.
When Jack committed himseIf, he thought he was going crazy.
But the doctors couldn't diagnosis it.
Going crazy how? He thought he was reliving days.
[Slow instrumental music.]
Reliving days? Like me? Exactly like you.
[Dramatic instrumental music.]
[Rock music.]
