1. My name is Odd Thomas,Copy !req
2. though in this age when fame is the
altar at which most people worship,Copy !req
3. I'm not sure why
you should care.Copy !req
4. I'm not a celebrity.
I'm not the child of a celebrity.Copy !req
5. I've never been married to,
abused by,Copy !req
6. or provided a kidney
to a celebrity.Copy !req
7. But I do lead an unusual life.Copy !req
8. Penny Kalisto.Copy !req
9. My name really is Odd.Copy !req
10. According to my mother,
it was a screw up on my birth certificate.Copy !req
11. She says I was supposed to be
called Todd, after a Lithuanian uncle.Copy !req
12. My father insists my name
was always Odd,Copy !req
13. and he notes that all
of my uncles are Bulgarian.Copy !req
14. My father claims
my mother is insane.Copy !req
15. My mother, of course,
begs to differ.Copy !req
16. My abilities
are a gift from God!Copy !req
17. My father won that argument.Copy !req
18. I was 12 years old when they finally locked
her up and threw away the key.Copy !req
19. I've come to believe that
my mother and I share certain...Copy !req
20. abilities.Copy !req
21. Since I don't want to be
locked up with the key thrown away,Copy !req
22. I've pretty much
kept mine a secret.Copy !req
23. Odd Thomas.Copy !req
24. Hello, Harlo.Copy !req
25. Long time, no see.Copy !req
26. Whoa! Whoa! Hey, hey.
Come on, man. No touchy, no feely.Copy !req
27. Sorry, but I love this car.Copy !req
28. I know.Copy !req
29. It's too bad
a car can't love you back.Copy !req
30. Huh?Copy !req
31. What's wrong, Odd?
There anything I can do?Copy !req
32. No, it's something
you've already done.Copy !req
33. Hey! Hey! Come on, Odd.Copy !req
34. No fooling around, man.
Give me my keys.Copy !req
35. Her blood is in your pocket.Copy !req
36. Most people think
that's a weird thing to say,Copy !req
37. but you don't think
it's very weird, do you, Harlo?Copy !req
38. - On that night...Copy !req
39. you took a piece
of white feltCopy !req
40. and after killing Penny,Copy !req
41. you collected
some of her blood.Copy !req
42. And now it's dry and stiffCopy !req
43. and brittle like a cracker,Copy !req
44. and it's still in your pocket.Copy !req
45. In moments like these,
pity tears at me...Copy !req
46. And a kind of madness
comes over me,Copy !req
47. forcing me to hunt people
like Harlo Landerson,Copy !req
48. who I have no pity for
whatsoever.Copy !req
49. Sorry, Mrs. Curtees!Copy !req
50. - Ah!
- Sorry, Saleen!Copy !req
51. Oh, my God!Copy !req
52. What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
53. Mom, what's going on?Copy !req
54. Honey...
Run, honey, run.Copy !req
55. Come here!Copy !req
56. My life is filled with
guys like Harlo Landerson.Copy !req
57. And since I like my face
just the way it is...Copy !req
58. I learned
how to handle myself.Copy !req
59. I may see dead people,Copy !req
60. but then, by God,
I do something about it.Copy !req
61. — Hey. Hey!Copy !req
62. Shift it down, man! Go easy.Copy !req
63. I'm sorry, sir,
but I don't have a go easy gear.Copy !req
64. You should probably
get that looked at.Copy !req
65. Now, Officer Eckles,Copy !req
66. does being a police officer give you the right
to beat the shit out of people?Copy !req
67. Not at all, Officer Varner.Copy !req
68. But it is one of the perks
of the job.Copy !req
69. I believe in a higher power
and the afterlife.Copy !req
70. Call me strange.Copy !req
71. Others do.Copy !req
72. He's so strange.Copy !req
73. Don't worry, Penny.Copy !req
74. I think where you're going
is a home for the spiritCopy !req
75. and it's filled with kindness
and wonder.Copy !req
76. I'm sorry, Penny.Copy !req
77. I'm sorry
your life was so short.Copy !req
78. The dead don't talk.Copy !req
79. I don't know why.Copy !req
80. Here we are again.Copy !req
81. Busted furniture
and shattered glass everywhere.Copy !req
82. - Ah, most of it was not my fault.
- Oh.Copy !req
83. Except the panda bear lamp...Copy !req
84. And the
Biffy the clown mirror. That was this guy.Copy !req
85. Why didn't you come
to me first,Copy !req
86. give me a chance to find a wayCopy !req
87. to get Harlo
to entrap himself?Copy !req
88. Whenever we do it that way,
it's always more efficient and less destructive.Copy !req
89. Yes, I know, but he had
to be stopped right nowCopy !req
90. or he was gonna
do it again soon.Copy !req
91. That's what Penny wanted
to tell me.Copy !req
92. That's why
she hadn't left yet.Copy !req
93. Son,
you so complicate my life.Copy !req
94. Well...Copy !req
95. Look...Copy !req
96. Besides her blood,
Harlo had these photosCopy !req
97. of Penny postmortem
in his wallet.Copy !req
98. If there's any fuss about
how you pegged Harlo,Copy !req
99. just say he opened up
his wallet to pay off a bet.Copy !req
100. Five bucks
on yesterday's Dodgers game,Copy !req
101. the photos fell out,
you saw them...Copy !req
102. He ran, and, naturally,
I gave chase.Copy !req
103. Naturally.Copy !req
104. Save me! Save me!Copy !req
105. Save us! Save us!Copy !req
106. - Save us!
- Save us!Copy !req
107. Save us!Copy !req
108. Save you from who?Copy !req
109. — Who is that?Copy !req
110. Who is it?Copy !req
111. Evil is coming.Copy !req
112. And it's up to me
to figure outCopy !req
113. who's gonna be
holding the gun.Copy !req
114. Morning, Elvis.Copy !req
115. So much of my life
is out of my control.Copy !req
116. I would have gone
seven kinds of crazy if I hadn't simplified.Copy !req
117. So I have no motorized
vehicles, no homeownership,Copy !req
118. no insurance,
and no grand ambitions.Copy !req
119. - Ladies.Copy !req
120. Eggs!
Wreck them and stretch them!Copy !req
121. Wreck them
means scrambled,Copy !req
122. and stretch them means
add an extra egg.Copy !req
123. Cardiac shingles
and hash browns!Copy !req
124. Cardiac shingles are toast
with lots of butter.Copy !req
125. And hash browns
are just hash browns.Copy !req
126. Not every word we use
is diner lingo...Copy !req
127. Whoa!Copy !req
128. Just as not every
short-order cookCopy !req
129. is an undercover detective
for dead people.Copy !req
130. Duck.Copy !req
131. That is Stormy Llewellyn.Copy !req
132. Stormy and I are destined
to be together forever.Copy !req
133. "You are destined
to be together forever."Copy !req
134. Hey, Chief.
Tummy tickler coming at you.Copy !req
135. You know, I'm still not happy
about what you did yesterday, Oddie.Copy !req
136. You could have
gotten yourself killed.Copy !req
137. I am not afraid of death.Copy !req
138. Of course, I'm not ready to go
on a date with him, either.Copy !req
139. - Would you throw yourself off a cliff for me?
- Of course I would.Copy !req
140. - Into a river of razor blades and lemon juice?
- Absolutely.Copy !req
141. Of course, I'd like to know
the reasoning behind such a request,Copy !req
142. but, fortunately for me,Copy !req
143. you reek of intelligence
and integrity.Copy !req
144. And you reek
of peach shampoo...Copy !req
145. Just the way I like you.Copy !req
146. - Chief.
- Morning, Stormy.Copy !req
147. What's with
the cat-ate-the-canary smile?Copy !req
148. Tonight is date night.Copy !req
149. Mmm-hmm. So you think you're gonna
get yourself some, huh?Copy !req
150. I wouldn't put it
quite that way.Copy !req
151. Stormy special.Copy !req
152. - Girlfriend.
- Morning, dude.Copy !req
153. I call them bodachs.Copy !req
154. Well, not to their faces,
I hope.Copy !req
155. I never met anybody
that could see them before.Copy !req
156. Neither have I.Copy !req
157. Everyone told me
it's in my head.Copy !req
158. Well, you should
stop telling everyone.Copy !req
159. I tried telling my parents.Copy !req
160. If I told my parents,
I'd have spent my whole lifeCopy !req
161. picking winning lottery
numbers.Copy !req
162. You can pick
winning lotto numbers?Copy !req
163. No, I can't.
Stay... Stay on point.Copy !req
164. Right. Yeah.Copy !req
165. Yesterday,
when I finally saw one,Copy !req
166. I gave him the finger, homes.Copy !req
167. Don't you know?Copy !req
168. If they find out
you can see them, they will kill you.Copy !req
169. They Will kill you.Copy !req
170. - Little advice?
- Yeah?Copy !req
171. Karla prefers chocolate
to flowersCopy !req
172. and you should get yourself
some candles.Copy !req
173. - Candles?
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
174. - Thanks. Good idea.
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
175. - Whew, close.Copy !req
176. That would have been
a little awkward.Copy !req
177. You two are really something.Copy !req
178. I don't know what,
but something.Copy !req
179. We're weird and screwed up,
but we're okay.Copy !req
180. I don't know. You are...Copy !req
181. so cool.Copy !req
182. So, you deny me
my weirdness,Copy !req
183. but agree that I'm screwed up?Copy !req
184. You're right.
I see your problem.Copy !req
185. Weirdness... It can be fun.
It can be kind of cool.Copy !req
186. Screwed-up-ness...
Not so much.Copy !req
187. You are quite weird.Copy !req
188. Apology accepted.Copy !req
189. I got to go. Be good, you two.Copy !req
190. It's not me
you have to worry about.Copy !req
191. Don't I know it.Copy !req
192. I got to go to work,
too, Oddie.Copy !req
193. - Uh, okay.
- Later, my love.Copy !req
194. Stormy!Copy !req
195. Uh... Miss you already.Copy !req
196. Living up to his name.Copy !req
197. - Every damn day.
- Later.Copy !req
198. Months often pass when
I don't see a single bodach.Copy !req
199. When they do show up,
it's a sure signCopy !req
200. that carnage and bloodshed
are not far behind.Copy !req
201. - Morning.
- They don't cause it. They feed on it.Copy !req
202. The more bodachs that show up,
the bigger the eventual feast.Copy !req
203. They're attracted to evil
like bees to flowers.Copy !req
204. They know when death is coming
and want to watch.Copy !req
205. They don't show up
for any ordinary death.Copy !req
206. They want extreme, operatic
violence and terror.Copy !req
207. Penny Kalisto's death
wasn't horrific enoughCopy !req
208. to bring a single bodach
into our world.Copy !req
209. This town
is in serious trouble.Copy !req
210. - Bye, Oddie.
- See you, ladies.Copy !req
211. Nicolina! Levanna!Copy !req
212. Odd, am I really sucking
at this whole mother thing?Copy !req
213. Well, considering
their last one was a junkieCopy !req
214. who left them in your lap
when you were barely 18,Copy !req
215. I think you rather rock, Vi.Copy !req
216. See you later.Copy !req
217. I'm heading this way, too.Copy !req
218. Gonna go see Madame Pearl,
get myself read.Copy !req
219. Uh, personally,
I don't believe people who sayCopy !req
220. they can read minds or palms
and, trust me, tea leaves...Copy !req
221. Just cloggage
in the garbage disposal.Copy !req
222. It's just I had this
dream last night you would not believe.Copy !req
223. Well,Copy !req
224. anything short of
a nine-alarm massacre, I can top.Copy !req
225. I've never seen myself face on
in a dream before.Copy !req
226. You saw your own face?Copy !req
227. Yeah. Me and this guy,
we were both lying dead all busted up,Copy !req
228. like we'd been shot to pieces
or something.Copy !req
229. You know,
I wouldn't worry about it, Vi.Copy !req
230. I mean,
have any of your dreams ever come true?Copy !req
231. No.Copy !req
232. I know most people think
you're just quirky or weird, Odd,Copy !req
233. except Stormy
who thinks angels fly out of your butt,Copy !req
234. but I know there's more to it.
You have a secret.Copy !req
235. You're either a clairvoyant,
a psychic, a seer, a soothsayer, or something.Copy !req
236. Or you got yourself some juice
with a higher power.Copy !req
237. And I need to know.
Tell me the truth now, Odd...Copy !req
238. Do you see death in me?Copy !req
239. No.Copy !req
240. No, all I see
is my own insensitivityCopy !req
241. and a long,
happy life for you, okay?Copy !req
242. Okay.Copy !req
243. Hey, Vi, the, uh...Copy !req
244. The dead guy in your dream,
what was he wearing?Copy !req
245. Wearing? I don't know.Copy !req
246. Oh! Wait. Yeah, a...Copy !req
247. red and black shirt, with
black bowling balls on it.Copy !req
248. One of my stranger abilities
is that when I need to find someone,Copy !req
249. like right now,
the creepy guy in the diner...Copy !req
250. I can randomly wander around,
and pretty quickly I'll run into him.Copy !req
251. This is a talent for which
I have no name.Copy !req
252. Stormy calls it
psychic magnetism.Copy !req
253. That's Tom Jedd.
He was my little league coach.Copy !req
254. Been hanging around Tire World
for years,Copy !req
255. although I don't know why.Copy !req
256. His death was not caused
by a defective tire.Copy !req
257. Such a beautiful girlCopy !req
258. There's something
about a dead manCopy !req
259. trying to get a laugh
that just bugs me.Copy !req
260. Perhaps because it suggests
that even in death,Copy !req
261. we still have a pathetic need
to be liked...Copy !req
262. As well as the ever-present
ability to humiliate ourselves.Copy !req
263. Where are you?Copy !req
264. Where are you?Copy !req
265. When I finally have
my own shop,Copy !req
266. no stupid uniforms.Copy !req
267. I think you look adorable.Copy !req
268. Adorable? Really?
Puppies are adorable.Copy !req
269. Why are you here so early?
You missing me?Copy !req
270. Always.Copy !req
271. But I'm...
I'm here looking for a guy... A creepy guy.Copy !req
272. Ooh. Well, with you,
there can be no other kind.Copy !req
273. My psychic magnetism
brought me here...Copy !req
274. - That guy?
- That guy.Copy !req
275. You are better
than a bloodhound.Copy !req
276. What is that thing
on his head?Copy !req
277. Hair?Copy !req
278. it looks like
a yellow yarmulke.Copy !req
279. No, it's hair.Copy !req
280. Any of those bodachs
with him?Copy !req
281. More than
I've ever seen before.Copy !req
282. You're not shivering
because of cold ice cream, are you?Copy !req
283. I'm gonna see
what this guy's up to.Copy !req
284. - Stormy, wait, wait.
- You, sit.Copy !req
285. You think those fish
are up to something?Copy !req
286. All fish do are eat,
excrete, and fornicate all in the same water.Copy !req
287. Fish are disgusting.Copy !req
288. Oh, I never thought so
until now.Copy !req
289. Your creepy friend
is buying two gallons of the summer special.Copy !req
290. Are the flavors
significant?Copy !req
291. That's your department.
I'm just reporting in.Copy !req
292. Cherry chocolate
coconut chunk?Copy !req
293. Coconut cherry
chocolate chunk.Copy !req
294. Oh. I didn't realize that grammar was so
rigid in the ice cream business.Copy !req
295. Well, now you know.Copy !req
296. This is bad for business.Copy !req
297. Why?
No one can see them but me.Copy !req
298. Well, how could
a bunch of slithering, evil spiritsCopy !req
299. and guy who look like fungus
be good for business?Copy !req
300. Fungus man scares me. Can't you forget him?Copy !req
301. I have a gift.Copy !req
302. It wouldn't have been
given to me if I wasn't supposed to use it.Copy !req
303. - Maybe it's not a gift.
- It's a gift.Copy !req
304. I still got the box
it came in.Copy !req
305. Here. Take my keys.Copy !req
306. And please show up
for dinner alive,Copy !req
307. because, remember,
I can't see the dead.Copy !req
308. If someone is going
to cause extreme violence...Copy !req
309. Especially on a massive scale,
which this is starting to look like...Copy !req
310. Bodachs will not leave him
until the last ounce of blood has been spilled.Copy !req
311. But they lost interest
in Fungus man.Copy !req
312. Winstons, Camels,
and Marlboros.Copy !req
313. Fungus man has friends.Copy !req
314. Hmm.Copy !req
315. Ooh!Copy !req
316. Oh, now would be
a good time to run.Copy !req
317. — Bodachs.Copy !req
318. - Hey.
- Loop me in, odd one.Copy !req
319. I think I just achieved
a personal bestCopy !req
320. in the jump and gasp event.Copy !req
321. Don't be such a scaredy-cat.Copy !req
322. I found a gateway to Hell.Copy !req
323. I'm walking back to it
right now.Copy !req
324. Most people would
have the good sense to run away from it.Copy !req
325. - Well, I'm not like most people.
- Not in the least.Copy !req
326. It's gone now...Copy !req
327. Or hidden.Copy !req
328. So, is Fungus Bob a man
or something new in the neighborhood?Copy !req
329. - I don't know.Copy !req
330. This place looks like
some kind of shrine.Copy !req
331. Shrine of guys that like to make
belts out of women's nipples.Copy !req
332. What?Copy !req
333. Who is this guy?Copy !req
334. His real name
is Robert Robertson.Copy !req
335. Oh! Well, hello, Fungus Bob.Copy !req
336. Did you check the refrigerator
for any severed heads?Copy !req
337. No, I didn't open
his refrigerator.Copy !req
338. Where else would you expect
to find severed heads?Copy !req
339. I wasn't looking for any.Copy !req
340. Stormy.
Stormy, someone's here. I got to go.Copy !req
341. We don't know what this guy's
planning to do yet.Copy !req
342. You know what? Let me ask him to wait
outside until I'm finished.Copy !req
343. I can feel that.Copy !req
344. Wait a minute.
What's today's date?Copy !req
345. August 14th.Copy !req
346. The page to August 15th
is torn out of his calendar.Copy !req
347. That's tomorrow.
What happens tomorrow?Copy !req
348. Hold on. Hold on.Copy !req
349. Get out of there, Oddie.Copy !req
350. Maybe he has a file
on himself, you know?Copy !req
351. Unsolved murders
and atrocities.Copy !req
352. Chief and I could figure out
a way to entrap him.Copy !req
353. So, what's in it?
Is he a mass murderer?Copy !req
354. No.Copy !req
355. But I think he wants to be.Copy !req
356. Hey, Bob!Copy !req
357. Robert,
where the Hell are you?Copy !req
358. I want my gun back!Copy !req
359. Oh, shit. Damn dogs.Copy !req
360. Shut up, you hear me?Copy !req
361. Shut up, you damn dogs!Copy !req
362. One of these days, bang!
You hear me?Copy !req
363. Wyatt is out back here,
burning some perfectly good steaks.Copy !req
364. Thanks, Karla.Copy !req
365. Chief.Copy !req
366. Odd, I hope you haven't come
here to dampen my evening.Copy !req
367. I share your hope, sir.Copy !req
368. Been communing with the dead?Copy !req
369. It's not about
who's dead, sir.Copy !req
370. It's about who soon might be.Copy !req
371. We call him Fungus Bob.Copy !req
372. Yeah,
I saw him enter the grill,Copy !req
373. but he didn't strike me
as suspicious. Just...Copy !req
374. unfortunate.Copy !req
375. Well, you didn't have
the advantage of seeing his fan club, sir.Copy !req
376. I guarantee you Hell on Earth
is coming to Pico Mundo.Copy !req
377. You know, sometimes you expect me to
walk a dangerously narrow line.Copy !req
378. That's just because I've got such great
respect for your balance, sir.Copy !req
379. Son, that sounds perilously
close to being bullshit.Copy !req
380. There's a little bit
of bullshit in it... A little.Copy !req
381. But it's mostly sincere.Copy !req
382. Odd, this one
of our newer officers, Bern Eckles.Copy !req
383. Oh, hi. We met yesterday.Copy !req
384. Good call on
that Harlo character.Copy !req
385. I can't believe
I once dated that perv.Copy !req
386. And of course
you know Lysette.Copy !req
387. Uh, Bern, I want you to do
a little DMV checkCopy !req
388. on this guy Odd
was telling me about.Copy !req
389. Uh, I think Officer Eckles
is a little worriedCopy !req
390. I might try to
hook up with you.Copy !req
391. Karla and the chief
are trying to set us up,Copy !req
392. him being new
to the force and all.Copy !req
393. It's like
cleaning fluid with sugar in it.Copy !req
394. Which reminds me,
how's your dad?Copy !req
395. He's selling
pieces of the moon online.Copy !req
396. - Vacation home sites.
- Is that legal?Copy !req
397. He certainly doesn't guarantee
the quality of the air.Copy !req
398. And how's it going
with Bronwen?Copy !req
399. - She prefers "Stormy."
- Who wouldn't?Copy !req
400. Did you used to play piano?Copy !req
401. I did, yeah, for years.Copy !req
402. How'd you know that?Copy !req
403. Because you have
really beautiful hands.Copy !req
404. I bet you play like a dream.Copy !req
405. You know, Odd,
you're a strange one.Copy !req
406. Yeah,
I can't disagree with that.Copy !req
407. Bit of an oddball.Copy !req
408. That was my nickname
all through high school.Copy !req
409. But you do have your charms.Copy !req
410. That's what Stormy says.Copy !req
411. Personally,
I find it rather dubious.Copy !req
412. You know, if you ever decide
to give cooking lessons,Copy !req
413. you should give me a call.Copy !req
414. I bet you really know
how to whisk.Copy !req
415. Sure, yeah,
with scrambled eggs and stuff.Copy !req
416. But, uh, pancakes,
you really... You got to fold them.Copy !req
417. But, mostly, I just fry,
fry, fry, you know?Copy !req
418. Hey, Odd. We got to talk.Copy !req
419. Robertson moved here
five months ago.Copy !req
420. Before that,
he was living with his mother.Copy !req
421. Inherited a shitload
when she died last year.Copy !req
422. Clean record, though...Copy !req
423. - Not even a speeding ticket.Copy !req
424. How'd his mother die?Copy !req
425. Officer Eckles
is checking on that right now.Copy !req
426. But otherwise, I got squat
on your Fungus Bob.Copy !req
427. I can't hold him.Copy !req
428. All right, well, you do agree
that he's strange and suspicious, right?Copy !req
429. If strange and suspicious
were enough to put someone in jail,Copy !req
430. you'd already be there.Copy !req
431. You're gonna watch him,
right?Copy !req
432. Only because
you're never wrong,Copy !req
433. I'll put on a tail on him
and watch his house.Copy !req
434. You go and have your dinner
with Stormy.Copy !req
435. She's the one.Copy !req
436. You are one smooth
operator, Odd.Copy !req
437. She must love
to hear you say that.Copy !req
438. I love to hear me say it.Copy !req
439. You better not be hauling
any dead guys on my scooter.Copy !req
440. Dead don't ride scooters.Copy !req
441. Just saying.
I'd have to scrub the seat for hours.Copy !req
442. Destroying the pleather.Copy !req
443. I see you left your
hormone spigot running, griddle boy.Copy !req
444. Crank it shut.
This is a church.Copy !req
445. I know it's a church.
I have a brain, you know.Copy !req
446. You know why
I call you Pooh Bear?Copy !req
447. Because I'm so cuddly.Copy !req
448. Because his head
is full of stuffing'.Copy !req
449. Now listen to me,
odd one.Copy !req
450. I don't want you going back
to that creepy room again.Copy !req
451. Ah,
it doesn't exist anymore.Copy !req
452. Well, don't go looking for it
hoping it'll come back.Copy !req
453. Never crossed my mind.Copy !req
454. - Yes, it did.
- Yes, it did.Copy !req
455. It is a gate
to the underworld,Copy !req
456. and you are forbidden by me
to ever play in it again.Copy !req
457. It's hard enough living with
a guy who helps dead peopleCopy !req
458. without having to trek
all the way down to HellCopy !req
459. to pull his ass
out of the fire.Copy !req
460. - Since when are we living together?
- We will be.Copy !req
461. Oh, I guess I didn't
think, "Let's put a pin in it" meant "Yes."Copy !req
462. You have to learn to listen
with more than just your ears.Copy !req
463. Stormy, what body part
am I supposed to listen with?Copy !req
464. Right. My heart.Copy !req
465. - I'm supposed to listen with my heart.
- Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
466. I listen with my heart.Copy !req
467. Look, if you're serious
about this,Copy !req
468. I... I have to...
I will do something bigCopy !req
469. to improve
our financial situation.Copy !req
470. - Your idea about selling car tires?
- Bigger.Copy !req
471. And what,
from your perspective, is bigger than tires?Copy !req
472. - Shoes.
- Shoes?Copy !req
473. Yeah, think about it.
A family of five might have two cars,Copy !req
474. but they have ten feet.Copy !req
475. Not only that, but they need
different kinds of shoes.Copy !req
476. Dress shoes, winklepickers,
high-tops, low-tops, running shoes...Copy !req
477. But not you.
You have five pairs of the same sneakers.Copy !req
478. - Like I said...
- You're not like most people.Copy !req
479. Not in the least.Copy !req
480. Do you want crackers
with your cheese?Copy !req
481. We have a problem.Copy !req
482. Crackers aren't a problem,
just a choice.Copy !req
483. - Come on. Come on! It's Fungus Bob!
- What? What?Copy !req
484. He followed me.
I don't know how.Copy !req
485. Shit! Come on! Come on!Copy !req
486. - It's him? You're sure?
- Sure, I'm sure!Copy !req
487. You don't think the
two of us could kick his ass?Copy !req
488. Not this guy.Copy !req
489. - Come on!
- Sacristy!Copy !req
490. Uh... The back door.Copy !req
491. Come on. Come on.
Wait! Wait. Come here.Copy !req
492. We're heading towards danger,
not away from it. I can feel it.Copy !req
493. It's like he's everywhere.
He's in front of us. He's behind us.Copy !req
494. Come on.
Let's go back the way we came.Copy !req
495. Let's call the cops.Copy !req
496. No time. I have a better plan.
You stay here.Copy !req
497. I'm gonna run over there
and open the door.Copy !req
498. If he doesn't lunge through,
run that way.Copy !req
499. If, however,
he does lunge through,Copy !req
500. you run this way
and I'll try to follow you.Copy !req
501. - Some plan, odd one.
- It's the best I've got.Copy !req
502. Full Of stuffing.Copy !req
503. Does that mean get on with it,
or up yours?Copy !req
504. Unbelievable.Copy !req
505. Right.Copy !req
506. Come on! Come on!Copy !req
507. Chief, it's Stormy.Copy !req
508. I'm sorry to drop in
on date night, but here's Odd.Copy !req
509. Sir, if you send a car
real quick to St. Bart'sCopy !req
510. you may be able
to catch Robertson trashing the sacristyCopy !req
511. or even the whole church.Copy !req
512. What was he doing
vandalizing St. Bart's?Copy !req
513. He was trying to catch me
and Stormy in the belfry.Copy !req
514. What were you and Stormy doing
in the belfry?Copy !req
515. Well, we were having
a picnic, sir.Copy !req
516. - I'm sure that makes sense to you.Copy !req
517. My guy at Robertson's house
said he still hasn't been home yet.Copy !req
518. Yeah, because apparently Bob's
been too busy following me.Copy !req
519. Oh, one second.
Where are you going?Copy !req
520. To get some food.Copy !req
521. How can you think
of dinner right now?Copy !req
522. Because I'm hungry.Copy !req
523. Look, Odd, vandalism...
Big deal.Copy !req
524. I thought you said this guy was going to
bring on the apocalypse.Copy !req
525. Yes, sir, on August 15th,Copy !req
526. which is less
than three hours away.Copy !req
527. Trust me, that is the day
that Pico Mundo will never forget.Copy !req
528. Lyle!Copy !req
529. Oh. Hi, Odd and Stormy.Copy !req
530. - Hi, Ozzie.
- Hey, Oz.Copy !req
531. Odd...Copy !req
532. - Order up on 12!
- I'll be right back.Copy !req
533. You know that I know guys
who know guys, right?Copy !req
534. Right.Copy !req
535. So if you guys don't stop
messing up my takeout orders,Copy !req
536. you're the one that's gonna get taken out.
Get it?Copy !req
537. - Got it.
- Good.Copy !req
538. Oz, Oz, watch your blood pressure.Copy !req
539. My blood... Hey, Odd,Copy !req
540. my blood has got
cholesterol moleculesCopy !req
541. the size of marshmallows
in it,Copy !req
542. and if it wasn't for a little righteous
outrage every now and again,Copy !req
543. my arteries would
completely collapse.Copy !req
544. — I've finished.Copy !req
545. That trinket you asked for.Copy !req
546. Ah, perfect.Copy !req
547. Wow, Oz, what. ..
What exactly is this?Copy !req
548. It's a steel heart,
six inches in diameter, like you said.Copy !req
549. No, I said, "A piece of steel
six inches in diameterCopy !req
550. "to go over a heart."Copy !req
551. Well, come on, man,
I embellished, you know?Copy !req
552. I... I get in the moment.Copy !req
553. I mean that...
Why would Stormy want to wear that?Copy !req
554. It's not for Stormy.Copy !req
555. I keep having this image
of, uh...Copy !req
556. a bullet going through
a heart.Copy !req
557. It's perfect. Thank you.Copy !req
558. - Hey, Chief.Copy !req
559. This place is trashed.Copy !req
560. Yeah, it was
Bob Robertson, sir.Copy !req
561. I'm sure you're right.
You always are.Copy !req
562. But he was long gone.
Didn't leave a single print.Copy !req
563. Even the chalices were spotless.Copy !req
564. Weird, huh?Copy !req
565. I'll, uh... I'll give
my psychic magnetism a tryCopy !req
566. to see if I can
find him again.Copy !req
567. Take Stormy home first.Copy !req
568. - Like Hell he will!
- I heard that.Copy !req
569. He heard that.Copy !req
570. Chief, you know
I love Oddie desperately,Copy !req
571. so madly
I would cut off my handCopy !req
572. if that made any sense
as proof of love.Copy !req
573. And now I find out
there's a guy trying to kill him...Copy !req
574. No one's trying to kill me,
Stormy.Copy !req
575. What, you think
he was hitting on you?Copy !req
576. You know, this...Copy !req
577. This is the
craziest conversation I've ever had.Copy !req
578. Odd, you're a fountain
of crazy conversations.Copy !req
579. A geyser.Copy !req
580. Time feels like
a powerful black waveCopy !req
581. that wishes to crash down
and engulf us.Copy !req
582. I must run faster.Copy !req
583. Why did I drive here?Copy !req
584. Oh, my God.Copy !req
585. Oddie, your nightmare,
the slaughter of the bowling alley people,Copy !req
586. - is it happening here tonight? Now?
- No.Copy !req
587. No, no, I checked this place.Copy !req
588. The employees here wear
green and gold shirts.Copy !req
589. So?Copy !req
590. So, in my dreams, the victims
wear red and black shirtsCopy !req
591. with little, black
bowling balls on them.Copy !req
592. I... I don't see
Fungus Bob's car anywhere.Copy !req
593. You think the slaughter
of the bowling alley peopleCopy !req
594. and Fungus Bob are connected?Copy !req
595. Yeah.Copy !req
596. Yeah, yeah, I know they are.Copy !req
597. They got new uniforms.Copy !req
598. Don't you dare.Copy !req
599. - Quite.Copy !req
600. You said that whatever
was gonna happenCopy !req
601. wouldn't happen
until tomorrow.Copy !req
602. - Yes, sir, but you see...
- I still got an hour.Copy !req
603. I know, sir. I just want
to keep you up to date.Copy !req
604. I think there's a good chance
that Bob RobertsonCopy !req
605. might come to Green Moon AlleyCopy !req
606. to do a little more
than just hook some balls.Copy !req
607. Maybe you want to
send a guy out hereCopy !req
608. to, you know, keep an eye out?Copy !req
609. Any of those
bodarch things around?Copy !req
610. Bodachs.Copy !req
611. No, sir, but they will show up
when he does.Copy !req
612. Yeah. All right.
I'll send a guy right over.Copy !req
613. Something doesn't feel right.Copy !req
614. Something's wrong.Copy !req
615. Are you nuts?
Everything's wrong.Copy !req
616. There's going to be a massacre
and I'll bet you it's going to happen here.Copy !req
617. No, all we know
is it's the same uniforms,Copy !req
618. so it's the same group
of people getting killed.Copy !req
619. But tomorrow, any of them
could be anywhere.Copy !req
620. God! I'm missing something.Copy !req
621. I'm missing a piece
of the puzzle.Copy !req
622. I need to see Viola.Copy !req
623. Evening! Odd Thomas, right?Copy !req
624. - Uh, yeah.
- Ms. Llewellyn.Copy !req
625. Mmm-hmm.
- The chief sent me.Copy !req
626. So, you know this guy, right?Copy !req
627. Uh, I've seen him a couple times
today, but, no, I don't know him.Copy !req
628. Yeah, chief says, uh,
"if you see him reach for his pocket,Copy !req
629. "he's probably not going
for a breath mint."Copy !req
630. — Wise words from a wise man.Copy !req
631. So what exactly makes this guy
so suspicious and dangerous?Copy !req
632. He came into the grill
for lunch today.Copy !req
633. That's it?
You served him lunch?Copy !req
634. - He was weird.
- How weird?Copy !req
635. - He had weird friends.
- He has friends?Copy !req
636. - Weird ones.
- How weird?Copy !req
637. Very weird.Copy !req
638. Hmm.Copy !req
639. And... And a couple hours ago,
he... He...Copy !req
640. got very aggressive
with me.Copy !req
641. Wait, wait,
a couple hours ago,Copy !req
642. this guy, Bob Robertson,
got aggressive with you?Copy !req
643. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
644. Look, the creep
made a pass at me and I told him to back off,Copy !req
645. and the creep got,
you know, creepy.Copy !req
646. Creep.Copy !req
647. Hey, Simon,
I've been dying to knowCopy !req
648. what this tattoo means.
Do you mind?Copy !req
649. Ah, well, Stormy,Copy !req
650. when I was a teenager,
I was a mess.Copy !req
651. If it wasn't for the
police academy and the good Lord,Copy !req
652. let's just say this tattoo
is a crude obscenityCopy !req
653. that I'd rather not say
the meaning of.Copy !req
654. Well, what a gentleman
you are.Copy !req
655. Nighty-night, Simon.Copy !req
656. Night.Copy !req
657. You manipulate me like that?Copy !req
658. Good heavens, odd one,
I manipulate you every day.Copy !req
659. - You do?
- Yes.Copy !req
660. Gently, of course,
with great affection and you always like it.Copy !req
661. - Oh, I do?Copy !req
662. You are so adorable.Copy !req
663. - I'm not adorable.
- Oh, please.Copy !req
664. Puppies... Puppies,
little puppies, are adorable.Copy !req
665. Mmm-hmm. You and puppies...
Totally adorable.Copy !req
666. I had a feeling
I'd see you tonight.Copy !req
667. It's about my dream, isn't it?Copy !req
668. You said you were shot.Copy !req
669. My skull
was all whacked.Copy !req
670. My eyeball was swollen.Copy !req
671. You know dreams
have nothing to do with the real future, Vi.Copy !req
672. We've already been
over that territory, but here you are.Copy !req
673. Where are you in your dream?Copy !req
674. No place.
A dream place... Fuzzy.Copy !req
675. Are you planning
on going bowling?Copy !req
676. Bowling?
Did you hit your head?Copy !req
677. What are your plans tomorrow?Copy !req
678. Levanna's birthday is Sunday,Copy !req
679. but tips are real good
on Sunday,Copy !req
680. so I was gonna work it
and celebrate her birthday tomorrow instead.Copy !req
681. A lot of people died
in that dream of yours, huh?Copy !req
682. Yeah, they did.Copy !req
683. Your dreams ever come true?Copy !req
684. Sometimes.Copy !req
685. I thought so.Copy !req
686. Close your eyes, Vi.Copy !req
687. In your dream,Copy !req
688. what do you see?Copy !req
689. What do you hear?Copy !req
690. All right.Copy !req
691. I'm running.Copy !req
692. There's suddenly
lots of flashing lightsCopy !req
693. with old-fashioned
kiddie music.Copy !req
694. And then I hear a big crowd,
a roaring one...Copy !req
695. Like in
a big football stadium.Copy !req
696. And then there's
the sound of water, uh, gushing water.Copy !req
697. How do you die?Copy !req
698. It's like someone hit me
with a baseball bat, quick, like twice.Copy !req
699. — I scream and fall to my hands and knees.Copy !req
700. My hands slip, slippery.Copy !req
701. - What are you slipping on?Copy !req
702. Oh, God. Blood.Copy !req
703. There's blood everywhere.Copy !req
704. What's under the mood,
under your hands'?Copy !req
705. A floor, grass, concrete?Copy !req
706. I'm staring at the dead man.Copy !req
707. Do you know him?
Do you recognize him?Copy !req
708. Oh, dear Lord, Odd.
So many dead bodies.Copy !req
709. Odd, you have to stop this
from happening.Copy !req
710. Oh, Odd, is there
any hope that this can pass?Copy !req
711. If you listen to Oddie,
you'll be just fine.Copy !req
712. No.Copy !req
713. Fate is not a straight road.Copy !req
714. There are many forks in it.Copy !req
715. You have the free will
to choose which one you take,Copy !req
716. but sometimes
it will bend aroundCopy !req
717. and bring you straight back
to that same stubborn fate.Copy !req
718. I just want to
check on the girls.Copy !req
719. They're so beautiful, Viola.Copy !req
720. And they're such good girls.Copy !req
721. They're lucky to have you.Copy !req
722. That's what everyone says.Copy !req
723. Odd?Copy !req
724. Anything wrong?Copy !req
725. - No.
- Mmm-mmm.Copy !req
726. No,no, no.Copy !req
727. I just, uh, want to make sure
the girls were safe.Copy !req
728. - Mmm-hmm.
- And with the bars on the windows.Copy !req
729. I taught them how to work
the emergency release myself.Copy !req
730. Well, looks like everything's
A-okay in here.Copy !req
731. Step one, do not stay here.Copy !req
732. I'll go to my grandma's.Copy !req
733. Don't tell your grandma
you're coming.Copy !req
734. Don't tell the girls where you're
going. I don't want you overheard.Copy !req
735. By who?Copy !req
736. Or anything. Just go with it.Copy !req
737. Step two is don't go bowling
if for some reason you get the itch.Copy !req
738. I can't believe
we're leaving those horrid thingsCopy !req
739. hovering around
those sweet girls.Copy !req
740. They won't hurt them.Copy !req
741. They just want to
smell them before they die.Copy !req
742. God.Copy !req
743. Look, Stormy, there's nothing
I can do about bodachs, okay?Copy !req
744. And right now,
I wouldn't even if I could.Copy !req
745. I need them to help me see
the danger comingCopy !req
746. so I can maybe prevent it.Copy !req
747. And when they
eventually find out that you can see them?Copy !req
748. Oddie, will you ever
leave here?Copy !req
749. Well, I sure hope
I don't end up like Tom JeddCopy !req
750. hanging out at Tire World.Copy !req
751. I meant while you're alive.Copy !req
752. — Hey. Hey, Stormy.Copy !req
753. Hey, hey. Look, look.Copy !req
754. Look, Stormy,
if you want us to go, I'll go.Copy !req
755. It's not that. It's...Copy !req
756. I'm just so scared
for you, Oddie.Copy !req
757. So scared, ever since I saw
that creep Fungus Bob.Copy !req
758. I'm sorry. I just...Copy !req
759. I love you so much.Copy !req
760. My Pooh Bear.Copy !req
761. I promise you on the
other side of tomorrow,Copy !req
762. I will have
all my stuffing intact.Copy !req
763. That must be for you.Copy !req
764. I... I heard the screams.Copy !req
765. She ran across my yard.Copy !req
766. I saw the dogs following her.
I grabbed my gun.Copy !req
767. - I shot the dogs.
- It's on.Copy !req
768. All right.
Here's what we know.Copy !req
769. Lysette left my barbecue
with Officer Eckles at around 7:45.Copy !req
770. He dropped her off at home,
clocked in at 8:00,Copy !req
771. and was manning the front desk
when he got the call.Copy !req
772. So somewhere
between 8:00 and midnight,Copy !req
773. Lysette was whacked in the eyeCopy !req
774. and then tied up and gaggedCopy !req
775. and hauled all the way
the Hell out hereCopy !req
776. and had two rottweilers
sicced on her.Copy !req
777. Hey, Chief.Copy !req
778. What's with the guy
who shot the dogs?Copy !req
779. His name's Kevin Goss.Copy !req
780. He was teaching a class
from 6:00 to 10:00,Copy !req
781. then he went to Starbucks
till they closed at midnight.Copy !req
782. - He got home about two minutes too late.Copy !req
783. Sir? I've actually seen those
rottweilers before.Copy !req
784. They belong to Bob Robertson.Copy !req
785. All right!Copy !req
786. I want an APB
put out on this guy now!Copy !req
787. Find him!Copy !req
788. Simon, I want you to go back
over to Robertson's house.Copy !req
789. I'll have a search warrant
in the morningCopy !req
790. as soon
as the courthouse opens.Copy !req
791. Sir, no offense, but I wasted most of the
day staking out that house.Copy !req
792. Then I went to
the bowling alleyCopy !req
793. and stayed there
until they closed.Copy !req
794. Nothing happened.Copy !req
795. Nobody showed.
It was a complete waste of my time.Copy !req
796. Sir, are we sure
this Robertson characterCopy !req
797. isn't just a wild goose chase?Copy !req
798. Exactly where were you between
the hours of 8:00 and 10:00?Copy !req
799. - He was with me the whole time.
- Stormy... Stormy...Copy !req
800. Ease up. Just ease up.Copy !req
801. Now go check the house again
and ask around about the dogs.Copy !req
802. Yes, sir.Copy !req
803. You two.Copy !req
804. Home.Copy !req
805. Go. Now.Copy !req
806. Um, I, uh...Copy !req
807. I think you should wear this.Copy !req
808. Try not to laugh.Copy !req
809. Oddie,
you are not responsibleCopy !req
810. for every death
you can't prevent.Copy !req
811. She died. And if Fungus Bob
was her killer,Copy !req
812. I was either slow or stupid...
Choose your weapon.Copy !req
813. Why would Fungus Bob
kill Lysette?Copy !req
814. What's the connection?
It makes no sense.Copy !req
815. It doesn't have to make sense.Copy !req
816. It just has to satisfy
some sick urge.Copy !req
817. Maybe he's warming up.Copy !req
818. I think the chief just sent
some detectives to protect you.Copy !req
819. I don't need protecting.Copy !req
820. Actually, I think it might
just be surveillance.Copy !req
821. Fungus Bob followed me
to the church.Copy !req
822. I bet the chief is hoping
he'll sniff me out again.Copy !req
823. If the chief is using you
as bait,Copy !req
824. he should at least ask
if you mind having a hook in your ass.Copy !req
825. Oh, man!
I got to stay focused.Copy !req
826. Good. You keep
an eye on my girl.Copy !req
827. August 15th had begun.Copy !req
828. Time was running out.Copy !req
829. Hey, Bob.Copy !req
830. You're not planning
on getting up, are you?Copy !req
831. But if you're dead,
who's gonna massacre Pico Mundo?Copy !req
832. Gun on the floor,
dead guy in my tub...Copy !req
833. I know a set-up
when I see one.Copy !req
834. But if I call the police,
the chief will have to arrest me,Copy !req
835. and I won't be able to stop
the catastrophe from happening.Copy !req
836. Oh, my God!Copy !req
837. Oh, you are creeping me out.Copy !req
838. You're freezing cold, Bob.Copy !req
839. Your rigor mortis
is way advanced.Copy !req
840. You know...Copy !req
841. The chief said
you didn't leave any fingerprints.Copy !req
842. He didn't leave
a single print.Copy !req
843. And Stormy
never actually saw you.Copy !req
844. - Come on!
- What?Copy !req
845. Because you were already dead.Copy !req
846. The whole time in the church,Copy !req
847. you were actually
a pissed-off poltergeist.Copy !req
848. I think the last time
I saw Fungus Bob aliveCopy !req
849. was when he left his house
right before I broke into it.Copy !req
850. He's been haunting me
ever since, blaming me for his death.Copy !req
851. Why he blames me
or who the Hell killed him is a little hazy.Copy !req
852. If I'm caught,
I'll either be arrested for murderCopy !req
853. or rolling what looks like
the biggest joint ever.Copy !req
854. It's just me, Rosalia!Copy !req
855. Damn it.Copy !req
856. Give me a break.Copy !req
857. It's just me, again, Rosalia.Copy !req
858. I'm gonna borrow
your car again, okay?Copy !req
859. If I'm being framed, why the police
have failed to arrive and arrest me,Copy !req
860. or the murderer hasn't come
to kill me, I do not know.Copy !req
861. All right, Bob,
where can I put you to quietly decomposeCopy !req
862. for a while before
someone finds youCopy !req
863. and has a new love of Jesus
scared into them?Copy !req
864. Interesting story, Bob.Copy !req
865. After the federal government
abandoned this prison,Copy !req
866. it went through
a long series of owners.Copy !req
867. Rumor has it that at Von Zipper's
Burgers the fries were delicious.Copy !req
868. And the free-soft-drink-refill
policy was generously honored.Copy !req
869. And yet, this
fine dining establishmentCopy !req
870. never succeeded
in winning over the family-dining crowd,Copy !req
871. which is so essential
to any restaurant operation.Copy !req
872. Welcome to the gas chamber.Copy !req
873. A lot of people
died in here, Bob.Copy !req
874. You should feel right at home.Copy !req
875. Stormy's always joking about running off to
Las Vegas and getting married.Copy !req
876. But I tell her Vegas is packed
with dead peopleCopy !req
877. and bad guys
and I'd just end up fighting evil 24/7.Copy !req
878. I should have listened to her.Copy !req
879. Too many.Copy !req
880. Too many.Copy !req
881. The chief. I need the chief.Copy !req
882. — Oh.Copy !req
883. Dear Lord.Copy !req
884. If that's you again, Odd,
we are going to have words!Copy !req
885. Oh, my God.Copy !req
886. No offense, Odd Thomas,
but I can't think of anybodyCopy !req
887. who could come in
here right now and not get my back up.Copy !req
888. So, do you think
he knew the shooter?Copy !req
889. Had to, which means it's
probably somebody I know, too.Copy !req
890. - How bad is he?
- Bad.Copy !req
891. - Well, he's a fighter.
- He better be.Copy !req
892. - Hey, Bern.
- Ma'am.Copy !req
893. Oh, Oddie.Copy !req
894. Keep the reporters
out of here. You, on that door.Copy !req
895. Sorry,
no press inside. Stay back, please.Copy !req
896. - Oh, come on!Copy !req
897. You saved his life, Oddie.Copy !req
898. Where's this bullet?Copy !req
899. It's the one they're trying
to dig out of him now.Copy !req
900. Time is up.Copy !req
901. Pico Mundo is awakening to
a horror that only I can stop.Copy !req
902. Lysette and Fungus Bob
are dead.Copy !req
903. The chief is in
the emergency room.Copy !req
904. There's hoards of bodachs
swarming all over town.Copy !req
905. Whatever's coming
is gonna be big.Copy !req
906. I'm scared, and I'm supposed
to be fearless.Copy !req
907. Don't tell me
to stay home today.Copy !req
908. Please stay home today.Copy !req
909. - I will if you stay home with me.
- We've been through this.Copy !req
910. I have to do whatever
I can to stop it.Copy !req
911. Is Viola going to be
shot dead?Copy !req
912. You know I don't know
that for sure.Copy !req
913. She's had it hard in life.
She doesn't need this.Copy !req
914. Shot dead? Really?
Who does need it?Copy !req
915. Oh, I don't know why I try
to reason with you.Copy !req
916. I always lose.Copy !req
917. You're a fabulous man
of action, odd one.Copy !req
918. You don't need to be
a good debater, too.Copy !req
919. Besides, you said yourself,Copy !req
920. any road I choose
could lead me right back to the same fate.Copy !req
921. So, which is it?Copy !req
922. Do I have free will?
Am I in God's hands?Copy !req
923. Or is it both?Copy !req
924. Have I ever told you
you've got a lot of issues?Copy !req
925. I'm a woman.
We all have issues.Copy !req
926. It's what keeps us interesting
and you men interested.Copy !req
927. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
928. It's what makes us crazy
and die younger.Copy !req
929. — Do you love me?Copy !req
930. I love you more
than life itself.Copy !req
931. See? It's working.Copy !req
932. Don't look back.
Don't look back.Copy !req
933. Give him strength.Copy !req
934. Knock, knock.Copy !req
935. I'm hoping Bob left
a clue on his computer.Copy !req
936. Something to lead me
to his partner...Copy !req
937. To the person who's planning
on killing hundreds,Copy !req
938. if not thousands of people.Copy !req
939. Hey.Copy !req
940. Loop me in, odd one.
Where are you?Copy !req
941. I'm walking towards a fridge.Copy !req
942. - Yours, mine, or Fungus Bob's?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
943. — Don't "Uh-huh" me.Copy !req
944. I told you, you are not
allowed to go playing aroundCopy !req
945. in any more Hell gates. Next!Copy !req
946. Oh, God. Cockroaches.Copy !req
947. Always cockroaches.Copy !req
948. Odd Thomas,
did you hear me?Copy !req
949. Which part?Copy !req
950. I can't believe
you went back there.Copy !req
951. Every time you
don't listen to me,Copy !req
952. you get yourself into trouble.Copy !req
953. I wish I'd
listened to you.Copy !req
954. You get out of there
right now.Copy !req
955. Right, right. Leaving.
Leaving.Copy !req
956. Ah!Ah! Ah!Copy !req
957. Never heard
you make that sound before.Copy !req
958. Is everything okay?Copy !req
959. Yeah.Copy !req
960. - What are you looking at?
- Um. ..Copy !req
961. Fingers.Copy !req
962. Please say they're attached
to someone's hand.Copy !req
963. Sorry.Copy !req
964. Get out of there, Oddie.Copy !req
965. Someone has been buying a lot
of Burke & Bailey's.Copy !req
966. Yeah? Well, you tell
whoever's buying itCopy !req
967. that our ice cream
may be the best, but it'll still melt in Hell.Copy !req
968. - I'm calling the police.
- No.Copy !req
969. No. Wait.Copy !req
970. I'll leave here first.
Then I'll call them.Copy !req
971. Be careful.Copy !req
972. Don't worry.Copy !req
973. Hey, Bob.Copy !req
974. I guess when
I began to out you, word somehow spread,Copy !req
975. and, uh,
you became a liabilityCopy !req
976. to your partner,
and he had to kill you.Copy !req
977. Sorry about that.Copy !req
978. I find it funny how I know
more about dead peopleCopy !req
979. than dead people.Copy !req
980. This is our realm, Bob.Copy !req
981. You can't physically harm
a living person.Copy !req
982. But there is that.Copy !req
983. Ah!Copy !req
984. Oh!Copy !req
985. Your call cannot be
completed as dialed.Copy !req
986. Oh!Copy !req
987. Gas.Copy !req
988. I'm exhausted, I'm lost,Copy !req
989. and somewhere along the way,Copy !req
990. I missed an important clue
that could take me home.Copy !req
991. The bullet through the heart.Copy !req
992. It wasn't about the chief.Copy !req
993. — Oh.Copy !req
994. God.Copy !req
995. Enough already, Bob. Please.Copy !req
996. My three...Copy !req
997. least favorite words.Copy !req
998. Some...Copy !req
999. Assembly...Copy !req
1000. required.Copy !req
1001. Simon, I've been dying to know
what that tattoo means.Copy !req
1002. Let's just say this tattoo
is a crude obscenity.Copy !req
1003. It's Varner.Copy !req
1004. I once had a run-in
with some Devil worshipers.Copy !req
1005. I should've known.Copy !req
1006. P.O.D. Prince of Darkness.Copy !req
1007. No wonder Varner
was suspiciousCopy !req
1008. when I told him Fungus Bob had gotten
aggressive with me an hour earlier.Copy !req
1009. This guy, Bob Robertson.
Got aggressive with you?Copy !req
1010. He had already killed Bob
five or six hours before that.Copy !req
1011. And that police van
protecting Stormy?Copy !req
1012. That must've been Varner
waiting to follow me homeCopy !req
1013. to bust me
for Fungus Bob's murder.Copy !req
1014. Or shoot me
while resisting arrest.Copy !req
1015. There were no bodachs
around Varner.Copy !req
1016. But I can still feel myself
being drawn to himCopy !req
1017. and to the place
where he's about to commit mass murder.Copy !req
1018. Coconut chocolate chip.Copy !req
1019. Oh, God, no.Copy !req
1020. - Hey, Nell, I see what the problem is.
- Stormy.Copy !req
1021. You are eating and reading
at the same time.Copy !req
1022. How about I eat and you read?Copy !req
1023. No? Not so good?Copy !req
1024. Okay, fine.Copy !req
1025. All right, Varner...
Where are you?Copy !req
1026. Fungus Bob didn't just
have one kill buddy...Copy !req
1027. He had two.Copy !req
1028. One more, and they could buy group health
insurance or form a rock band.Copy !req
1029. Officer Eckles is checking
that right now.Copy !req
1030. I don't know what
this Odd Thomas character knows,Copy !req
1031. but I know that Robertson
is stupid and carelessCopy !req
1032. and he's gonna get us nailed
if we don't do something.Copy !req
1033. Relax.Copy !req
1034. Did Robertson ever find
those photos at the mall he misplaced?Copy !req
1035. I said, relax.Copy !req
1036. I'll take care of him.Copy !req
1037. Stalking someone
at the mall, Bern?Copy !req
1038. Robertson. That idiot.Copy !req
1039. Oh!Copy !req
1040. We got to make it look like
an accident.Copy !req
1041. Oh, it'll look like
an accident all right.Copy !req
1042. When I find Robertson,
I'm gonna kill him.Copy !req
1043. Already been there, done that.Copy !req
1044. Looks like their plan
was to jump out at the end of the mall disasterCopy !req
1045. like heroes
responding to the call.Copy !req
1046. But I never saw any bodachs
around Eckles, either.Copy !req
1047. The presence of the bodachs
tipped me off to Fungus Bob,Copy !req
1048. but not to his two co-conspirators,
which now seems intentional.Copy !req
1049. As if the bodachs knew of my gift, as
if they know I can see them.Copy !req
1050. The bodachs have been
manipulating me.Copy !req
1051. I'm gonna finish you off,
old man.Copy !req
1052. Four.
Well, that's just jiffy.Copy !req
1053. This just so happens to be
my very favorite book.Copy !req
1054. "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Copy !req
1055. Prince of Darkness,
Officer Varner.Copy !req
1056. Prince of Darkness.
Officer Varner.Copy !req
1057. Prince of Darkness.
Officer Varner.Copy !req
1058. Viola.Copy !req
1059. Viola! Viola!
What are you doing here?Copy !req
1060. - Odd! Geez! You scared the...
- What are you doing here?Copy !req
1061. We had to pick out
a birthday present for Levanna.Copy !req
1062. And Nicolina wanted
to get a card for her big sister.Copy !req
1063. Look, your dream,
it's happening, right here, right now.Copy !req
1064. I thought in a big stadium
or the water park or a bowling alley.Copy !req
1065. Ladies, I need you to
take Viola and get her out of here, okay?Copy !req
1066. Come on. Come on, come on.Copy !req
1067. Go on.Copy !req
1068. "This made Dorothy
so very angryCopy !req
1069. "That she picked up the bucket
of water that stood nearCopy !req
1070. "And dashed it all over
the wicked witch.Copy !req
1071. "And then
the wicked witch said...Copy !req
1072. - "I'm melting! I'm melting!"Copy !req
1073. There's suddenly
lots of flashing lights...Copy !req
1074. With old-fashioned
kiddie music.Copy !req
1075. And then I hear a big crowd.Copy !req
1076. And then there's
the sound of water, gushing water.Copy !req
1077. Bye, Nell.Copy !req
1078. Bye, Stormy.Copy !req
1079. Excuse me. Excuse me.Copy !req
1080. Sorry! Move, move. Excuse me!Copy !req
1081. A gun! He's got a gun!Copy !req
1082. Stormy and I are destined
to be together forever.Copy !req
1083. Gypsy mummy gave us a card
that said so, for a single quarter,Copy !req
1084. what other couples
couldn't buy at any price.Copy !req
1085. No!Copy !req
1086. Get out of the way! Get off!Copy !req
1087. It's not over.Copy !req
1088. It's not over.Copy !req
1089. It's not over. It's not over.Copy !req
1090. Hey, Chief.
What's with the guy who shot the dogs?Copy !req
1091. His name is Kevin Goss.Copy !req
1092. One of these days, bang!
You hear me?Copy !req
1093. He's got a gun!Copy !req
1094. - Is this your truck?
- I need a drill!Copy !req
1095. - Do you have a drill?
- I need to get this open.Copy !req
1096. - Who the Hell are you?
- I'm a cop. Now, look.Copy !req
1097. You see that woman?
Some maniacs just shot up the mall!Copy !req
1098. So either get with me,
get behind me, or get out!Copy !req
1099. I got... I got a grinder.Copy !req
1100. Oh, my God.Copy !req
1101. Everyone get
the Hell out of here!Copy !req
1102. Get the Hell out! Now!Copy !req
1103. Ah!Copy !req
1104. Hey!Copy !req
1105. Ah!Copy !req
1106. Goddamn it!Copy !req
1107. Shit!Copy !req
1108. You really set yourself up,
asshole!Copy !req
1109. It's cold in the desert.Copy !req
1110. I could tell my stuffing
wasn't entirely intact.Copy !req
1111. He is awake. He is awake.Copy !req
1112. But it was nothing they
couldn't stick back together.Copy !req
1113. Karla told me that the chief
had come through just fineCopy !req
1114. and somehow managed to spin
Fungus Bob's corpseCopy !req
1115. into a bizarre cover story
that kept my secret a secret.Copy !req
1116. An FBI expert on televisionCopy !req
1117. said that if you hadn't gotten
those explosives out of there,Copy !req
1118. at least 500 or 600 people
would've died, for sure.Copy !req
1119. They told me
events at the Green Moon MallCopy !req
1120. had made headlines everywhere.Copy !req
1121. But I didn't want to read
or see anything about it.Copy !req
1122. According to Eckles,
he and Varner started a satanic cultCopy !req
1123. when they were teenagers.Copy !req
1124. One night, they killed a man
and realized they enjoyed it.Copy !req
1125. So they kept at it, eventually joining
the police force for better cover.Copy !req
1126. They met Robertson and GossCopy !req
1127. and came up with a plan to infiltrate a small
town and then slowly kill it.Copy !req
1128. Odd, we love you!Copy !req
1129. Odd! Odd! Odd! Odd!Copy !req
1130. Ah, when I'm with you,Copy !req
1131. I don't have to worry about
pancakes or poltergeists.Copy !req
1132. When I'm with you,
I'm with my destiny.Copy !req
1133. Where you live, I flourish.Copy !req
1134. We ate food
that wasn't healthy.Copy !req
1135. We drank too much.Copy !req
1136. And slept too much.Copy !req
1137. But could never kiss enough.Copy !req
1138. Everything
was just as I wished.Copy !req
1139. Yeah?Copy !req
1140. Odd, uh, it's us.
Open up.Copy !req
1141. Hey, guys.Copy !req
1142. We have been
calling you, Oddie.Copy !req
1143. I know. You know,
I disconnected the phoneCopy !req
1144. because the reporters
won't leave me and Stormy alone.Copy !req
1145. - Son.
- Do you want some...Copy !req
1146. You've been here long enough.Copy !req
1147. We think
it's time to stop.Copy !req
1148. Sweetheart, the coroner
finally released her poor body.Copy !req
1149. A part of me knew...Copy !req
1150. From the moment I saw her
behind the ice-cream counter.Copy !req
1151. But the truth hurt too
much to accept.Copy !req
1152. Her death would have been
one wound too many that day,Copy !req
1153. and I think I would have
let go of this life.Copy !req
1154. She's here, isn't she?Copy !req
1155. You got to let her know.Copy !req
1156. She deserves to move on
to her next life.Copy !req
1157. Son...Copy !req
1158. It's just time.Copy !req
1159. I promise
I will see you again, okay?Copy !req
1160. Stormy always believed that life
is not about how fast you runCopy !req
1161. or with what
degree of grace.Copy !req
1162. That this life is a boot camp,Copy !req
1163. that we must persevere
through all the obstacles and hardshipsCopy !req
1164. to earn our way
into the next life.Copy !req
1165. To be with her again,
I will have the perseverance of a bulldog.Copy !req
1166. But sometimes, it seems to me,Copy !req
1167. the training
is unnecessarily painful.Copy !req
1168. If I live an
average life-span,Copy !req
1169. I'll have another 60 years
before I see Stormy again.Copy !req
1170. That will be a long wait.Copy !req
1171. But I am a patient man.Copy !req
1172. And I have much to do.Copy !req
