Copy !req
5. a man on the eve of attaining
a level of wealth...
Copy !req
6. that most of us
can only dream about.
Copy !req
7. But the choices Sean made
to get to this point...
Copy !req
8. are about to come back
to haunt him...
Copy !req
9. courtesy of the Twilight Zone.
Copy !req
10. Contract lawyers at 11:00...
Copy !req
11. Iunch with
the presentation team...
Copy !req
12. Oh, and it's your mother's
birthday tomorrow.
Copy !req
13. You want me to send
the usual flower arrangement?
Copy !req
14. - Yeah, bingo to that.
- Remind you to call her?
Copy !req
15. That's very funny. That's
the last thing she'd want.
Copy !req
16. OK, first step,
you've got an interview...
Copy !req
17. with Elizabeth Carter
from High Finance magazine.
Copy !req
18. What's she after?
Copy !req
19. My guess is
word's spreading fast...
Copy !req
20. on the Monarch Foods buyout.
Copy !req
21. No, blow her off.
Copy !req
22. She's been waiting
almost an hour, Sean.
Copy !req
23. This is not the time
for bad press.
Copy !req
24. Sean Moore, self-made man...
Copy !req
25. left Evanston
senior year of high school...
Copy !req
26. traveled
to Venice, California...
Copy !req
27. opened up
your first cappuccino stand...
Copy !req
28. before your 18th birthday.
Copy !req
29. Two weeks shy.
Copy !req
30. Sixteen years later,
you're C.E.O. of one...
Copy !req
31. of America's leading
coffee franchises...
Copy !req
32. and yet you're trying
to sell a company...
Copy !req
33. that you built
from scratch. Why?
Copy !req
34. What can I say?
I grew up in the Eighties.
Copy !req
35. Some kids grew up
watching "Star Wars."
Copy !req
36. I grew up watching
"Wall Street."
Copy !req
37. "Greed is good." Remember?
Copy !req
38. Yes. I remember.
Copy !req
39. In my research...
Copy !req
40. I found a little story
about you.
Copy !req
41. Really. Only one.
Copy !req
42. About a certain baseball
signed by the 1927 Yankees...
Copy !req
43. a family heirloom...
Copy !req
44. that you sold to start
your business.
Copy !req
45. It was my grandfather's ball.
Copy !req
46. He gave it to my dad...
Copy !req
47. my dad gave it to me
when I turned 17.
Copy !req
48. And you got, what, 8,000 for it?
Copy !req
49. Something like that.
Copy !req
50. And you father didn't mind
you selling it?
Copy !req
51. No, of course he didn't.
Copy !req
52. Even if it meant
you leaving home?
Copy !req
53. You know,
I answered your question.
Copy !req
54. You think maybe we could
change the subject?
Copy !req
55. Excuse me, Sean...
Copy !req
56. but I've got that call
you were expecting.
Copy !req
57. Right.
Copy !req
58. I'm sorry. Gonna have to cut
the interview short.
Copy !req
59. I see.
Copy !req
60. Why do I get the feeling
that didn't go so well?
Copy !req
61. Don't let
that sweet face fool you.
Copy !req
62. She's up to no good.
Copy !req
63. - I need an aspirin.
- Bottom drawer.
Copy !req
64. "Ruth, Gehrig, Huggins."
Copy !req
65. This is the 1927 Yankees.
Copy !req
66. That must be worth something.
Copy !req
67. How the hell did it get here?
Copy !req
68. This is the ball
that I sold 16 years ago.
Copy !req
69. This was my dad's baseball.
Copy !req
70. You are traveling
to another dimension.
Copy !req
71. A dimension not only
of sight and sound...
Copy !req
72. but of mind.
Copy !req
73. A journey
into a wondrous land...
Copy !req
74. whose boundaries are only
that of the imagination.
Copy !req
75. You're entering...
Copy !req
76. She was never out of my sight.
Copy !req
77. Then how'd she get this in here?
Copy !req
78. Sean, I'm lost.
Copy !req
79. The baseball.
Copy !req
80. Somehow, she planted it.
Copy !req
81. This is just too whacked.
Copy !req
82. Maybe somebody got it
for you as a gift.
Copy !req
83. It's the exact same ball.
Copy !req
84. I sold it 16 years ago.
Copy !req
85. I'll check with the staff...
Copy !req
86. see if anybody
knows how it got here.
Copy !req
87. Meantime, the editors are
waiting for your final notes...
Copy !req
88. on the corporate
presentation film.
Copy !req
89. Message one.
Copy !req
90. Sean, Kate. Good news.
Copy !req
91. Ulrich's
flying in from Geneva...
Copy !req
92. just for the presentation,
so it looks like our friends...
Copy !req
93. at Monarch Foods
are in a buying mood...
Copy !req
94. and, oh, by the way,
I asked around the office.
Copy !req
95. No one seems to know
about that baseball.
Copy !req
96. Message Two.
Copy !req
97. Hi. Elizabeth Carter
from High Finance.
Copy !req
98. I really think we need to talk
some more about your past.
Copy !req
99. It's Alicia.
I'll be by your place at 9:00.
Copy !req
100. I can't wait to see you.
Copy !req
101. It's only been a week,
and it feels like forever.
Copy !req
102. I miss you like crazy.
Copy !req
103. Bye.
Copy !req
104. Just when I thought
it couldn't get any better.
Copy !req
105. I hope the neighbors
didn't hear.
Copy !req
106. What's the matter, baby?
Copy !req
107. You having second thoughts
about the sale?
Copy !req
108. No.
Copy !req
109. I'm just a little distracted,
that's all.
Copy !req
110. Was it something I did?
Copy !req
111. No, no, no. Past stuff.
Copy !req
112. I guess some things
never go away.
Copy !req
113. I love you, Sean.
Copy !req
114. I would be so lost without you.
Copy !req
115. What's the matter?
Copy !req
116. You want me to leave?
Copy !req
117. Yeah.
Copy !req
118. OK.
Copy !req
119. You still have to pay me
for the entire night.
Copy !req
120. Listen, next time...
Copy !req
121. go easy on
the hearts and flowers, OK?
Copy !req
122. You still want me
to say "l love you," right?
Copy !req
123. Yeah, that's what I pay you for.
Copy !req
124. Just don't...
be so pushy, all right?
Copy !req
125. What the hell?
Copy !req
126. What's wrong?
Copy !req
127. Did she put you up to this?
Copy !req
128. Who?
Copy !req
129. The reporter, Elizabeth Carter.
Copy !req
130. Did she pay you
to put this here?
Copy !req
131. Sean, I don't know what
you're talking about.
Copy !req
132. You don't, huh?
Copy !req
133. It's just an old school jacket.
Copy !req
134. No, this is
my old school jacket.
Copy !req
135. I got rid of this thing
years ago.
Copy !req
136. I burned it.
Copy !req
137. OK, well, then,
it's not the same one.
Copy !req
138. It's the same jacket.
Copy !req
139. Look, it's got my name on it.
Copy !req
140. It's got my school letters.
Copy !req
141. What now? Sean?
Copy !req
142. It's the letter.
Copy !req
143. It's Bess' letter.
Copy !req
144. Bess?
Copy !req
145. Bess Wicker.
She was my first girlfriend.
Copy !req
146. You know what they say.
Copy !req
147. "First love's
hardest to forget."
Copy !req
148. See you next week, Sean.
Copy !req
149. "Sean, I'm sending you
back your jacket.
Copy !req
150. "I've decided
I can't come to California.
Copy !req
151. "l wish I could forget
what you did, but I can't."
Copy !req
152. "l love you, Sean.
I always will...
Copy !req
153. "but I just
can't forgive you. Bess."
Copy !req
154. Mr. Moore.
Copy !req
155. All right, let's have it.
Copy !req
156. What the hell
do you want from me?
Copy !req
157. I thought we could finish up
our interview.
Copy !req
158. Oh, screw the interview.
Copy !req
159. I want to know
how you're pulling it off.
Copy !req
160. Pulling it off?
Copy !req
161. The baseball, the school jacket.
Copy !req
162. You really are afraid to look
at your past, aren't you?
Copy !req
163. You know what, lady?
I don't need to look back.
Copy !req
164. My company is in play
for more money...
Copy !req
165. than I ever thought
existed in the world.
Copy !req
166. You live alone.
You have no friends...
Copy !req
167. no one you care about,
and no one who cares for you.
Copy !req
168. How do you know
all this about me?
Copy !req
169. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
170. I thought you would have
figured it out by now.
Copy !req
171. I know you, Sean.
Copy !req
172. Bess?
Copy !req
173. Bess Wicker?
Copy !req
174. Sorry I'm late.
Got caught in traffic.
Copy !req
175. I've got Kurt Bruckman
on line three.
Copy !req
176. He's managing editor
at High Finance.
Copy !req
177. - Bruckman. Sean Moore.
- Hello.
Copy !req
178. What can I do for you,
Mr. Moore?
Copy !req
179. I'm tracking down a writer
that works at your magazine.
Copy !req
180. It's the woman
doing the feature story.
Copy !req
181. Feature story?
Copy !req
182. Yeah, the feature story.
The one about me.
Copy !req
183. To be perfectly frank,
I know nothing about...
Copy !req
184. a feature article
being done about you.
Copy !req
185. OK, what are you people
trying to pull?
Copy !req
186. Her name's Elizabeth Wicker.
Copy !req
187. She works for High Finance.
Copy !req
188. There must be some mistake here.
Copy !req
189. No, there's no mistake. OK?
Copy !req
190. Now, if you're tellin' me...
Copy !req
191. that you don't have
an Elizabeth Wicker...
Copy !req
192. that works at your magazine—
Copy !req
193. Well, we did,
but Elizabeth Wicker...
Copy !req
194. was killed in a car crash
three days ago.
Copy !req
195. Elizabeth Ann Wicker...
Copy !req
196. Evanston, lllinois,
April 7, 1972.
Copy !req
197. It's got to be
some kind of a hoax.
Copy !req
198. No.
Copy !req
199. No, it was Bess.
Copy !req
200. Don't ask me to explain it,
but she was...
Copy !req
201. she was sitting right there.
Copy !req
202. You saw her yourself.
Copy !req
203. I saw someone
named Elizabeth Carter.
Copy !req
204. Uh-huh. It was her.
Copy !req
205. She's all grown up
from the kid I used to know.
Copy !req
206. So what are you saying?
Copy !req
207. It was
Elizabeth Wicker's ghost...
Copy !req
208. who sat in that chair?
Copy !req
209. The baseball, the jacket...
Copy !req
210. All these things
I'd thrown away.
Copy !req
211. Why does she want me
to have them?
Copy !req
212. We need to focus.
Copy !req
213. Tomorrow's sales pitch
to Monarch Foods...
Copy !req
214. everything you've worked
for is riding on this.
Copy !req
215. You won't get a second chance.
Copy !req
216. A second chance.
Copy !req
217. Maybe that's
what she's giving me.
Copy !req
218. Mom.
Copy !req
219. Mom.
Copy !req
220. Hello, Sean. It's been a while.
Copy !req
221. Happy, uh... happy birthday.
Copy !req
222. Tell your secretary I said
thank you for the flowers.
Copy !req
223. She's got good taste,
doesn't she?
Copy !req
224. So, you come all this way
to wish me happy birthday?
Copy !req
225. Do you remember Bess Wicker?
Copy !req
226. Bess Wicker? Of course.
Copy !req
227. That was a sweet girl.
Copy !req
228. You lost a jewel
when you let that one get away.
Copy !req
229. Yeah. I saw her recently...
Copy !req
230. and she gave me
something for you.
Copy !req
231. I think she really
wanted you to have it.
Copy !req
232. You recognize it?
It's Dad's baseball.
Copy !req
233. But how did Bess get hold of it?
Copy !req
234. I—I don't know.
Copy !req
235. Does it really matter?
Copy !req
236. Here. Take it.
Copy !req
237. It broke your father's heart,
losin' that ball.
Copy !req
238. Till the day he died,
he always hoped that—
Copy !req
239. I know what he hoped...
Copy !req
240. and I'm finally
bringing it back.
Copy !req
241. And that's supposed
to make everything right?
Copy !req
242. You stole that ball
from your father...
Copy !req
243. knowing how much
it meant to him...
Copy !req
244. how much you meant to him.
Copy !req
245. Mom, try to understand.
It was the Eighties.
Copy !req
246. There was all this money around.
Copy !req
247. I just wanted my share.
Copy !req
248. Well, you got what you wanted.
Copy !req
249. I hope it made you happy.
Copy !req
250. Just take the ball.
Copy !req
251. It's too late.
Copy !req
252. Now, having built Moore Java
from the ground floor up...
Copy !req
253. I can safely say that
I wouldn't entrust its future...
Copy !req
254. to just any multi-national
conglomerate...
Copy !req
255. so we've put together
this film...
Copy !req
256. for you at Monarch Foods...
Copy !req
257. to show you
why your time and interest...
Copy !req
258. in Moore Java
is fully justified.
Copy !req
259. Play. Play. Here we go.
Copy !req
260. I'm not seeing anything.
Copy !req
261. Hey, Spielberg,
you've got the lens cover on.
Copy !req
262. So, how's it feel to be
the first family on the block...
Copy !req
263. to own a video camera?
Copy !req
264. - I feel like a star.
- This can't be.
Copy !req
265. Want to tape me fixing
the garbage disposal?
Copy !req
266. Hey, get the love birds.
Copy !req
267. Here we go! Hey, slick!
Copy !req
268. Give us a big smile
over here.
Copy !req
269. Ha ha!
Copy !req
270. Ahh, way to go, Sean!
Copy !req
271. Just like your old man!
Copy !req
272. Here, give me that.
Copy !req
273. - Oh, no!
- Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
274. - Stop!
- Ha ha ha ha!
Copy !req
275. Come on, Dad, do it, already!
Copy !req
276. You watch and learn, son.
Copy !req
277. - Oh, yeah?
- Mmm!
Copy !req
278. Mom, don't embarrass me
in front of Bess.
Copy !req
279. I love you.
Copy !req
280. Aww. That is so romantic.
Copy !req
281. Hello, Sean.
Copy !req
282. So, how'd you know I'd be here?
Copy !req
283. I didn't.
Copy !req
284. I just hoped.
Copy !req
285. You know, I remember
all the plans we had.
Copy !req
286. We were gonna buy this house...
Copy !req
287. when my parents moved
to the country.
Copy !req
288. Fix it up.
Make it look like new.
Copy !req
289. Bess, I wish
I could change the past...
Copy !req
290. and make everything right.
Copy !req
291. It's too late.
Copy !req
292. Is it?
Copy !req
293. That's why you came back,
isn't it?
Copy !req
294. Give me a second chance?
Copy !req
295. I can't give you anything.
Copy !req
296. You have to be willing
to take it.
Copy !req
297. So, how's it feel to be
the first family...
Copy !req
298. on the block
to own a video camera?
Copy !req
299. I know you, Sean.
Copy !req
300. It broke your father's heart
losing that ball.
Copy !req
301. Yes... I remember.
Copy !req
302. Sean.
Copy !req
303. I told you I was gonna do it
on Thursday.
Copy !req
304. - Yeah, last Thursday.
- Ohhh!
Copy !req
305. Hey, save your strength, slick.
Copy !req
306. - Watch your language.
- What'd I say?
Copy !req
307. I didn't think you'd be here.
Copy !req
308. Of course I'm here.
Copy !req
309. We have plans, remember?
Copy !req
310. Mom, Dad?
Copy !req
311. Bess and I are gonna grab
somethin' to eat...
Copy !req
312. maybe catch "Roger Rabbit"
at the duplex.
Copy !req
313. Hey, Sean, you need a few bucks?
Copy !req
314. It's OK, Dad.
Copy !req
315. I got all I need.
Copy !req
316. I love you, Sean.
Copy !req
317. They say
you can't go home again...
Copy !req
318. but tell that to Sean Moore...
Copy !req
319. who traded his fortune for
the most precious gift of all—
Copy !req
320. a chance to wipe
the slate clean...
Copy !req
321. and start life anew.
Copy !req
