1. This is Mr Mathison.
He's a doctor.Copy !req
2. - Are you okay?
- An ambulance is on the way.Copy !req
3. Thank you.Copy !req
4. Is there a name yet?Copy !req
5. Elijah.Copy !req
6. Is he supposed
to be crying like this?Copy !req
7. May I?Copy !req
8. Can I have him back?Copy !req
9. What happened during the delivery?Copy !req
10. Nothing.
It was very quick.Copy !req
11. The baby just wanted
to come right out.Copy !req
12. And there were no problems.Copy !req
13. Did you drop him?Copy !req
14. What?Copy !req
15. Did you drop this baby?Copy !req
16. Jesus Christ, no.Copy !req
17. Inform the ambulance
that we have a situation.Copy !req
18. All right.
Molly.Copy !req
19. I've never seen this.Copy !req
20. It appears that your baby
has sustained some fractures...Copy !req
21. while inside your uterus.Copy !req
22. His arms and his legs are broken.Copy !req
23. This is Eastrail 177.Copy !req
24. Next stop, Philadelphia.Copy !req
25. Are you alone?Copy !req
26. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
27. Someone left this magazine.Copy !req
28. Want to take a look at it?Copy !req
29. Could I take a look at that one?Copy !req
30. Thanks.Copy !req
31. - You like sports?
- It's my field.Copy !req
32. I represent athletes.
I'm an agent.Copy !req
33. Are you looking for any
male synchronized swimmers?Copy !req
34. - I'm thinking about getting into that.
- Is that right?Copy !req
35. I'm afraid of water.Copy !req
36. Think that's a problem?Copy !req
37. You represent someone
in Philadelphia?Copy !req
38. I'm meeting this player
from Temple University.Copy !req
39. He's a cornerback.Copy !req
40. This kid is 6'1 ", 210 pounds.Copy !req
41. He runs a 40 in 4.3 seconds.
He's gonna be a god.Copy !req
42. Do you like football?Copy !req
43. Not really.Copy !req
44. - I'm David Dunn.
- Kelly.Copy !req
45. - Hi.
- Hi, nice to meet you.Copy !req
46. Nice-Nice to meet you.Copy !req
47. How long are you gonna be
in Philadelphia?Copy !req
48. - I'm married.
- Great.Copy !req
49. - I'm sorry.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
50. I-Copy !req
51. I think you misunderstood
what I was, uh...Copy !req
52. - s-saying-
- I know.Copy !req
53. I think I'm gonna find another seat.Copy !req
54. I- I didn't mean, uh-Copy !req
55. That's what he failed to realize.
I look classy, not trashy.Copy !req
56. I look classy too. What about me?
Don't I look classy?Copy !req
57. But I'm afraid you forgot this!Copy !req
58. - And this! And-
- Where has you been, Banana?Copy !req
59. Now I've got you, weasel.Copy !req
60. Some cars are still on fire,
and the debris is everywhere.Copy !req
61. We are not sure at this time, uh...Copy !req
62. how rescue personnel will be able
to get on scene at all.Copy !req
63. If you'rejust tuning in,
Eastrail train number 177...Copy !req
64. has derailed
just outside Philadelphia.Copy !req
65. And we're bringing you
live coverage from Skycam 4.Copy !req
66. Yes, that is- It appears
to be a rescue ambulance...Copy !req
67. and there are more behind it
I can see on the access road.Copy !req
68. I don't know how close they're
gonna be able to get, David.Copy !req
69. These are woods and, uh, trees.Copy !req
70. It's gonna be a very
difficult rescue effort.Copy !req
71. Try to hack some of that off.Copy !req
72. Hi. I'm Dr Dubin.Copy !req
73. You're in the emergency room in
the Philadelphia City Hospital.Copy !req
74. You were in a serious accident.Copy !req
75. Look at me.Copy !req
76. How are you feeling?Copy !req
77. - Okay.
- Good.Copy !req
78. I'm gonna ask you some questions.Copy !req
79. Have you ever had any heart
or asthma problems in the past?Copy !req
80. - No.
- Kidney or renal problems?Copy !req
81. - No.
- Any allergies?Copy !req
82. No.Copy !req
83. Where were you sitting
on the train?Copy !req
84. - Against the window.
- In the passenger car?Copy !req
85. Yeah.Copy !req
86. - Where are the other passengers?
- Was your family travelling with you?Copy !req
87. No.Copy !req
88. Did you get up from your seat?Copy !req
89. Are you certain
you were in the passenger car?Copy !req
90. Yes.Copy !req
91. Why are you looking at me like that?Copy !req
92. Your train derailed.Copy !req
93. Some kind of malfunction.Copy !req
94. They only found
two people alive so far-Copy !req
95. you and this man.Copy !req
96. His skull was cracked open and
most of his left side was crushed.Copy !req
97. And to answer your question,
there are two reasons...Copy !req
98. why I'm looking at you like this.Copy !req
99. One, because it seems
in a few minutes...Copy !req
100. that you will officially be
the only survivor of this train wreck.Copy !req
101. And two...Copy !req
102. because you didn't break one bone.Copy !req
103. You don't have a scratch on you.Copy !req
104. David?Copy !req
105. What happened in New York?Copy !req
106. I don't think I got the job.Copy !req
107. I'm still going to, uh-Copy !req
108. I'm still moving there.Copy !req
109. Just-Copy !req
110. Uh, just-just not now.Copy !req
111. Good night.Copy !req
112. Good night.Copy !req
113. Sara Elaston...Copy !req
114. social worker at
Broad and Locust Community Centre.Copy !req
115. We pray for your soul.Copy !req
116. Kevin Elliot, businessman...Copy !req
117. father of six.Copy !req
118. We pray for your soul.Copy !req
119. Glen Stevens...Copy !req
120. researcher in the area
of leukemia...Copy !req
121. at Drexel University.Copy !req
122. We pray for your soul.Copy !req
123. Jennifer Pennyman...Copy !req
124. third-grade teacher
at Jefferson Elementary.Copy !req
125. We pray for your soul.Copy !req
126. - Yes?
- Is Noel in, ma'am?Copy !req
127. No, sir, he is not.Copy !req
128. I read about you in the paper.Copy !req
129. - What?
- I was in an accident once too.Copy !req
130. A horse almost trampled me to death.Copy !req
131. - Wow.
- Had him put down.Copy !req
132. That's a sad story.Copy !req
133. Could- Could you ask Noel
something for me, please?Copy !req
134. Proceed.Copy !req
135. Would you ask him to check
how many sick days I've taken...Copy !req
136. since I've worked here?Copy !req
137. - That the entire message?
- Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
138. Thank you.Copy !req
139. Hey, Noel.Copy !req
140. What, you hit your head on that train?Copy !req
141. Get your brain
to start working again?Copy !req
142. - What?
- Forty dollars.Copy !req
143. - Forty dollars what?
- You're gettin' a $40-a-week raise.Copy !req
144. That's it.Copy !req
145. I checked. You were right.
You've never taken a sick day.Copy !req
146. Five years, no sick day.
I get it. You want a raise.Copy !req
147. Smart way to make your point.Copy !req
148. - Is Joseph okay?
- Yeah.Copy !req
149. - He's asleep.
- Oh.Copy !req
150. I wanted to ask you a question.Copy !req
151. It's gonna sound a little strange,
but, uh...Copy !req
152. just think about it
for a second, okay?Copy !req
153. Okay.Copy !req
154. When's the last time I was sick?Copy !req
155. Do you remember?Copy !req
156. Um, I-I don't know.Copy !req
157. It's been a while.Copy !req
158. I haven't been sick this year,
I know that.Copy !req
159. Okay.Copy !req
160. Do you remember me gettin' sick?Copy !req
161. Um...Copy !req
162. not a specific day.Copy !req
163. And what's-what's this about?Copy !req
164. Audrey, do you remember me
ever getting sick?Copy !req
165. In the three years
we lived in this house?Copy !req
166. In the old apartment?Copy !req
167. Before Joseph was born?
Before we ever got married?Copy !req
168. I- I can't remember.Copy !req
169. Don't you think
that's kind of weird...Copy !req
170. not remembering one cold
or a-a fever or a sore throat?Copy !req
171. What do you think it means?Copy !req
172. Um...Copy !req
173. I think it means
I'm probably too tired to remember.Copy !req
174. No more sittin' in this room.
I let it go on long enough.Copy !req
175. I'm not goin' out there any more.
I'm not getting hurt again.Copy !req
176. - This was the last time, I told you.
- You can't do anything about that.Copy !req
177. You might fall between
this chair and that television.Copy !req
178. If that's what God has planned for you,
that's what's gonna happen.Copy !req
179. You can't hide from it
sittin' in a room.Copy !req
180. They call me Mr Glass at school
because I break like glass.Copy !req
181. You make this decision now...Copy !req
182. to be afraid...Copy !req
183. and you will never turn back.Copy !req
184. Your whole life,
you will always be afraid.Copy !req
185. - I got a present for you.
- Why?Copy !req
186. Forget why.Copy !req
187. You want it or not?Copy !req
188. Well, go get it, then.Copy !req
189. Where is it?Copy !req
190. On a bench...Copy !req
191. across the street.Copy !req
192. Someone's gonna take it.Copy !req
193. Then you better get out there soon.Copy !req
194. I bought a whole bunch.Copy !req
195. There'll be one of these
waitin' for you...Copy !req
196. every time you want
to come out here.Copy !req
197. They say this one
has a surprise ending.Copy !req
198. This is from Fritz Campion's
own library.Copy !req
199. This is before the first issue of
the comic book hit the stands in 1968.Copy !req
200. It's a classic depiction
of good versus evil.Copy !req
201. Notice the square jaw of Slayer,
common in most comic heroes.Copy !req
202. And the slightly disproportionate size
of Jaguaro's head to his body.Copy !req
203. This again is common,
but only in villains.Copy !req
204. The thing to notice about this piece...Copy !req
205. the thing that makes it
very, very special...Copy !req
206. is its realistic depiction
of its figures.Copy !req
207. When the characters
reached the magazine...Copy !req
208. they were exaggerated...Copy !req
209. as always happens.Copy !req
210. This is vintage.Copy !req
211. Well...Copy !req
212. wrap it up.Copy !req
213. You've made a considerably
wise decision.Copy !req
214. Well, my kid's gonna go berserk.Copy !req
215. Once again, please?Copy !req
216. My son Jeb-
it's a gift for him.Copy !req
217. - How old is Jeb?
- He's four.Copy !req
218. No.Copy !req
219. No, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
220. You need to go. Now.Copy !req
221. What'd-What'd I say?Copy !req
222. Do you see any Teletubbies in here?Copy !req
223. Do you see a slender plastic tag
clipped to my shirt...Copy !req
224. with my name printed on it?Copy !req
225. Did you see a little Asian child with
a blank expression sitting outside...Copy !req
226. in a mechanical helicopter that shakes
when you put quarters in it?Copy !req
227. No? Well, that's what
you see at a toy store...Copy !req
228. and you must think
you're in a toy store because...Copy !req
229. you're here shopping
for an infant named Jeb.Copy !req
230. Now, one of us
has made a gross error...Copy !req
231. and wasted the other person's
valuable time.Copy !req
232. This is an art gallery,
my friend...Copy !req
233. and this is a piece of art.Copy !req
234. We're by appointment only.Copy !req
235. - I got a card from this store.
- Congratulations.Copy !req
236. You have a mailbox.
The exhibition isn't for two weeks.Copy !req
237. This one was under
the windshield wiper of my car.Copy !req
238. How certain are you that
you've never taken ill?Copy !req
239. Seventy-five percent.Copy !req
240. Well, that's not
certain at all, is it?Copy !req
241. That's hole number one.Copy !req
242. I'm going to be extremely skeptical
about all this.Copy !req
243. About all what?Copy !req
244. I'm assuming you've never been injured.
Would I be wrong in that assumption?Copy !req
245. Dad's been injured.Copy !req
246. Is the child correct?Copy !req
247. Yes, sir. In college,
I was in a car accident.Copy !req
248. - Was it serious?
- He couldn't play football any more.Copy !req
249. That's hole number two.Copy !req
250. That's a big one.Copy !req
251. Mr Price, can we talk about
the note that you left on my car?Copy !req
252. I've studied the form
of comics intimately.Copy !req
253. I've spent a third of my life
in a hospital bed...Copy !req
254. with nothing else to do but read.Copy !req
255. I believe comics
are our last link...Copy !req
256. to an ancient way
of passing on history.Copy !req
257. The Egyptians drew on walls.Copy !req
258. Countries all over the world still pass
on knowledge through pictorial forms.Copy !req
259. I believe comics
are a form of history...Copy !req
260. that someone somewhere
felt or experienced.Copy !req
261. Then, of course,
those experiences and that history...Copy !req
262. got chewed up in the commercial
machine, got jazzed up...Copy !req
263. made titillating,
cartooned for the sale rack.Copy !req
264. This city has seen its share
of disasters.Copy !req
265. I watched the aftermath
of that plane crash.Copy !req
266. I watched the carnage
of the hotel fire.Copy !req
267. I watched the news waiting to hear
a very specific combination of words...Copy !req
268. but they never came.Copy !req
269. Then one day I saw a news story
about a train accident...Copy !req
270. and I heard them.Copy !req
271. "There is a sole survivor...Copy !req
272. and he is miraculously unharmed. "Copy !req
273. I have something called
osteogenesis imperfecta.Copy !req
274. It's a genetic disorder.Copy !req
275. I don't make a particular
protein very well...Copy !req
276. and it makes my bones
very low in density.Copy !req
277. Very easy to break.Copy !req
278. I've had 54 breaks in my life...Copy !req
279. and I have the tamest version
of this disorder, type one.Copy !req
280. There are type two,
type three, type four.Copy !req
281. Type fours don't last very long.Copy !req
282. So that's how it popped into my head.Copy !req
283. If there is someone
like me in the world...Copy !req
284. and I'm at one end
of the spectrum...Copy !req
285. couldn't there be someone else...Copy !req
286. the opposite of me
at the other end?Copy !req
287. Someone who doesn't get sick, who
doesn't get hurt like the rest of us?Copy !req
288. And he probably
doesn't even know it.Copy !req
289. The kind of person
these stories are about.Copy !req
290. A person put here
to protect the rest of us.Copy !req
291. To guard us.Copy !req
292. - You think my dad's a real-
- I don't think anything right now.Copy !req
293. It's a possibility-Copy !req
294. one with many holes.Copy !req
295. Joseph, don't take
another sip of that water.Copy !req
296. - Go throw it in the trash.
- But Dad-Copy !req
297. Do it now, please.Copy !req
298. I see guys like you
all the time in my work.Copy !req
299. You find someone you want
to take advantage of...Copy !req
300. you tell them a fantastic story...Copy !req
301. and somewhere in there you say it:Copy !req
302. "I just need
your credit card number...Copy !req
303. a small down payment. "Copy !req
304. This morning was the first morning
that I could remember...Copy !req
305. that I didn't open my eyes
and feel...Copy !req
306. sadness.Copy !req
307. I thought the person that wrote
that note had an answer for me.Copy !req
308. I'm gonna leave now.Copy !req
309. Good luck with your exhibition.Copy !req
310. So, what kind of job
do you have, David?Copy !req
311. You said you've met guys like me
in your work.Copy !req
312. - What exactly is it that you do?
- I work at the University Stadium.Copy !req
313. I'm a security guard.Copy !req
314. Hi.Copy !req
315. I've come to a decision.Copy !req
316. Okay.Copy !req
317. I just wanna ask you something, okay?Copy !req
318. And you can be totally honest.Copy !req
319. I'm prepared for any answer,
and-and it won't affect me.Copy !req
320. Have you been with anyone?Copy !req
321. I mean, since we've
been having problems.Copy !req
322. The answer won't affect me.Copy !req
323. I just need to know, you know?Copy !req
324. I mean, it won't affect me
either way.Copy !req
325. No.Copy !req
326. Sorry, David.
I'm sorry.Copy !req
327. Anyway...Copy !req
328. my decision is...Copy !req
329. that I want to start again.Copy !req
330. And I want it to be
like it was in the beginning.Copy !req
331. And it's a big deal that
you walked away from that train.Copy !req
332. I feel like it's a second chance.Copy !req
333. And if you feel like
asking me out sometime...Copy !req
334. that'd be okay.Copy !req
335. Okay.Copy !req
336. - Dunn.
- Go for Dunn.Copy !req
337. Yeah, it's Jenkins. Look, we got a guy
over at gate 17-C with a bogus ticket.Copy !req
338. Says he knows you.
He won't tell me his name.Copy !req
339. What's he look like?Copy !req
340. Why is it, do you think, that
of all the professions in the world...Copy !req
341. you chose protection?Copy !req
342. - You are a very strange man.
- You could have been a tax accountant.Copy !req
343. You could have owned your own gym. You
could've opened a chain of restaurants.Copy !req
344. You could've done
one of 10,000 things.Copy !req
345. But in the end,
you chose to protect people.Copy !req
346. You made that decision,
and I find that...Copy !req
347. very, very interesting.Copy !req
348. Now all I need is
your credit card number.Copy !req
349. That last part was a joke.Copy !req
350. - You're a big sports fan, are you?
- It's starting to intrigue me.Copy !req
351. It gets heaviest
ten minutes before kickoff.Copy !req
352. Programme here.
Programme.Copy !req
353. Programme.Copy !req
354. Programme. Programme here.Copy !req
355. - Rich, why don't we pat down?
- Right.Copy !req
356. - Just give me a minute.
- Is there a problem?Copy !req
357. I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have to search you.Copy !req
358. - It's nothing personal.
- The tall guy in the camouflage jacket.Copy !req
359. Sometimes people carry weapons in here,
and they drink too much.Copy !req
360. If the team's not doing good,
bad things can happen.Copy !req
361. We do pat-downs of the crowd
to discourage people from carrying.Copy !req
362. If he's carrying,
he'll step out of line.Copy !req
363. Yeah, step right up here.Copy !req
364. Okay. I got you a seat up
in the yellow section.Copy !req
365. It's in the nosebleeds,
but at least you won't get spit on.Copy !req
366. - All right.
- How'd you know that guy you bumped...Copy !req
367. was carrying a weapon?Copy !req
368. I don't know.Copy !req
369. Maybe it was that camouflage
army jacket he was wearing.Copy !req
370. Those guys like to carry
hunting knives and stuff for show.Copy !req
371. You thought he was carrying a knife?Copy !req
372. - I thought he was carrying something, yeah.
- But not a knife.Copy !req
373. I got a picture of a silver gun
with a black grip...Copy !req
374. tucked in his pants.Copy !req
375. You know, like on TV.Copy !req
376. You have good instincts
for things like that?Copy !req
377. - Like what?
- Knowing when people have done something wrong?Copy !req
378. - Yeah.
- Have you ever tried to develop it?Copy !req
379. - I don't know what you're asking me.
- Your skill.Copy !req
380. Look, I gotta be down on
the sidelines during the game.Copy !req
381. - You can get to your seat right down-
- Characters in comics...Copy !req
382. are often attributed special powers-Copy !req
383. invisibility, X-ray vision,
things of that sort.Copy !req
384. Okay.Copy !req
385. - I don't wanna play this game any more.
- It's an exaggeration of the truth.Copy !req
386. Maybe it's based on something
as simple as instinct.Copy !req
387. - But he might not have been carrying anything.
- But he might have been carrying...Copy !req
388. a silver gun with a black grip
tucked in his pants.Copy !req
389. - Dunn.
- I gotta go.Copy !req
390. Yeah, I know.
I'll be right down.Copy !req
391. - One last question.
- What?Copy !req
392. That car accident you were in.Copy !req
393. Was there anyone else involved?Copy !req
394. Yeah.
My wife, Audrey.Copy !req
395. She was in the car with me.Copy !req
396. Have a good life, Elijah.Copy !req
397. Next time, try to buy your tickets
at an authorized sales location.Copy !req
398. - Dunn.
- I'm on my way.Copy !req
399. into the investigation
of train 177...Copy !req
400. being conducted at the Eastrail
holding warehouses.Copy !req
401. The city council has
stepped up plans to pass a bill...Copy !req
402. requiring higher standards
for inspection and maintenance...Copy !req
403. of all rail transportation
for Philadelphia...Copy !req
404. and its outlying districts.Copy !req
405. Hold up a second!Copy !req
406. I just want to ask you something.Copy !req
407. Dad! Hey, Dad!Copy !req
408. Dad!Copy !req
409. Joseph, do you know how mad your mother would
be if she knew you were playing football?Copy !req
410. Are you gonna tell?Copy !req
411. You wanna play last of the downs?
We got a big guy like you.Copy !req
412. You could play on opposite sides.
He's Potter's cousin.Copy !req
413. He's starting cornerback
at Temple University.Copy !req
414. He's going pro in the draft.Copy !req
415. They say he can run the 40
in 4.3 seconds.Copy !req
416. Yeah, I've heard.Copy !req
417. You can beat him, Dad.Copy !req
418. - Let's beat him.
- I'm gonna go in.Copy !req
419. Just play one set of downs.
I told them you were great.Copy !req
420. - Why'd you do that?
- Just one.Copy !req
421. I'm gonna go in.
I've got some things to do.Copy !req
422. - What things?
- I'm gonna work out.Copy !req
423. - I'll help you.
- No, I-I don't need-Copy !req
424. I can't play, guys!
I'm working out with my dad!Copy !req
425. Go, go.
Here we go! Ready?Copy !req
426. Hut! You're doing good.
Right there! Catch!Copy !req
427. I've got tO runCopy !req
428. To keep from hidingCopy !req
429. And I'm boundCopy !req
430. To keep on ridingCopy !req
431. And I've got one more silver dollarCopy !req
432. How much did you put on there?Copy !req
433. You put too much.
That's 250 pounds.Copy !req
434. How much can you lift?Copy !req
435. That's the most I ever lifted.Copy !req
436. That could've been dangerous, Joseph.Copy !req
437. Why don't you go upstairs now
and let me finish up, okay?Copy !req
438. I'll take it off.
I'll help you right.Copy !req
439. You think you could have
beaten up Bruce Lee?Copy !req
440. No.Copy !req
441. I mean, if you knew karate.Copy !req
442. No.Copy !req
443. Well, what if he wasn't allowed to kick,
and you were really mad at him?Copy !req
444. No, Joseph.Copy !req
445. How much did you take off?Copy !req
446. I lied.Copy !req
447. You added?Copy !req
448. How much is it?Copy !req
449. 270 pounds.Copy !req
450. Let's put more.Copy !req
451. Okay.Copy !req
452. Why don't you move back a little
just to be safe, okay?Copy !req
453. More?Copy !req
454. You should never do anything like this.
You know that, right?Copy !req
455. What do you do
if something bad happens?Copy !req
456. Get Mom.Copy !req
457. Right.Copy !req
458. How much did you put on that time?Copy !req
459. All of it.Copy !req
460. What else can we use?Copy !req
461. How much is it?Copy !req
462. How much is it, Dad?Copy !req
463. About 350 pounds.Copy !req
464. Fracture of the fifth metacarpal
of the right hand...Copy !req
465. as well as multiple fractures of
the sixth, seventh and eighth ribs.Copy !req
466. The worst of the injury, however,
was sustained to the right leg...Copy !req
467. in the form of a spiral fracture.Copy !req
468. There were 14 breaks.Copy !req
469. It simply shattered.Copy !req
470. They call me Mr Glass.Copy !req
471. - Who does?
- Kids.Copy !req
472. Are you all right, Mr Price?Copy !req
473. Shall I continue?Copy !req
474. Pins were placed throughout
the length of the leg.Copy !req
475. The use of a wheelchair will be needed
for a two-month period.Copy !req
476. The use of crutches will follow
for 12 to 14 months.Copy !req
477. Hospital stay will range
from five to eight days...Copy !req
478. followed by nine to twelve months
of physical therapy.Copy !req
479. Prescribed medication for pain
management will take the usual forms...Copy !req
480. of morphine drip, percocet, darvocet.Copy !req
481. Your, uh, 10:00 is here.Copy !req
482. The hospital discharged him
this morning.Copy !req
483. Thanks.Copy !req
484. Elijah, right?Copy !req
485. We're gonna prevent any substantial
atrophy of your good leg with this...Copy !req
486. and it works your quadriceps.Copy !req
487. How long have you been married?Copy !req
488. - Twelve years.
- How'd you get together?Copy !req
489. I'm a little nervous being here.Copy !req
490. I ask too many questions
when I'm nervous.Copy !req
491. A car accident.Copy !req
492. Oh. And now you're gonna
have to tell me more.Copy !req
493. My husband was a star athlete
in college...Copy !req
494. and we were in
an accident together.Copy !req
495. Our car flipped on an icy road and we were both
injured, and he couldn't play football any more.Copy !req
496. And if that hadn't happened,
we probably wouldn't have been together.Copy !req
497. - How so?
- I think we should talk about your rehab.Copy !req
498. You don't have to answer
if you don't want to.Copy !req
499. So, tell me more
about the quad machine.Copy !req
500. It prevents atrophy by-Copy !req
501. I couldn't spend my life
with someone who played football.Copy !req
502. It's pretty much that simple.Copy !req
503. I mean, I don't hate the game. I admire
the amount of skill it involves.Copy !req
504. And-And like everyone else,
I was in awe of the way he played it.Copy !req
505. But football, in many ways,
is the opposite of what I do.Copy !req
506. You're rewarded the more
you punish your opponent.Copy !req
507. You know, it's too much about violence,
and I don't want violence in my life.Copy !req
508. It's not a thing many people
can understand, but-Copy !req
509. Anyway, fate stepped in
with that car accident...Copy !req
510. and took football out of the equation.Copy !req
511. And everyone lived happily ever after.Copy !req
512. Sort of.Copy !req
513. What part of David's body was injured?Copy !req
514. Who said my husband's name was David?Copy !req
515. Ladies and gentlemen-Copy !req
516. In the first half-Copy !req
517. A 737 crashes on takeoff-Copy !req
518. 172 die, no survivors.Copy !req
519. A hotel fire downtown-
211 die, no survivors.Copy !req
520. An Eastrail train derails
71/2 miles outside the city-Copy !req
521. 131 die...Copy !req
522. one survivor.Copy !req
523. He is unharmed.Copy !req
524. I've spoken with your husband
about his survival.Copy !req
525. I suggested a rather
unbelievable possibility.Copy !req
526. Since then, I've come to believe
that possibility...Copy !req
527. however unbelievable...Copy !req
528. is now more a probability.Copy !req
529. And what was it you suggested?Copy !req
530. These are mediocre times, Mrs Dunn.Copy !req
531. People are starting to lose hope.
It's hard for many to believe...Copy !req
532. there are extraordinary things
inside themselves as well as others.Copy !req
533. I hope you can keep an open mind.Copy !req
534. Excuse me, sir?Copy !req
535. Can you step out of line, please?Copy !req
536. We've been having some problems with
people selling drugs here in the stadium.Copy !req
537. Would you mind if I check your pockets?Copy !req
538. Raise your arms, please.Copy !req
539. Come on, raise them up.Copy !req
540. I just got here, man.Copy !req
541. Can I put my hands down now?Copy !req
542. Can I go?Copy !req
543. Yeah.Copy !req
544. Hope you find them.Copy !req
545. - YO, Dunn.
- Yeah.Copy !req
546. I just came into the office.
Your kid was hurt.Copy !req
547. - Where is he?
- Some play rehearsal at school.Copy !req
548. He wants you to come down there.Copy !req
549. Is that your dad?Copy !req
550. I bet my dad could beat up your dad.Copy !req
551. No, he, uh, he insisted
we call only you...Copy !req
552. though we had some trouble
tracking you down.Copy !req
553. I mean, you're not on our list.Copy !req
554. Audrey handles this type of stuff.Copy !req
555. Oh. What type of stuff?Copy !req
556. Joseph stuff.Copy !req
557. Do I need to put any smelly ointment
on him or anything?Copy !req
558. No, no, it's more emotional damage.Copy !req
559. Not, uh- Not to serious, physically.Copy !req
560. Nothing like when I sent you
to the hospital.Copy !req
561. When was that?Copy !req
562. My office was on the other side
of the building back then.Copy !req
563. You don't remember me, do you?Copy !req
564. - No, ma'am.
- I had red hair.Copy !req
565. Well, you were a little younger
than Joseph when it happened.Copy !req
566. Did you know that we
changed the rules of conduct...Copy !req
567. around the pool because of you?Copy !req
568. The kids still tell about it...Copy !req
569. like it was some sort of ghost story.Copy !req
570. "Did you know there was a kid
nearly drowned in that pool?Copy !req
571. He lay on the bottom of the pool
for five minutes.Copy !req
572. And when they pulled him out,
he was dead. "Copy !req
573. We let them tell it.
It helps keep them safe.Copy !req
574. You still phobic of water?Copy !req
575. It was Potter and another guy.Copy !req
576. They were messing with
this Chinese girl in the dressing room.Copy !req
577. Y- You can't let bad things
happen to good people, right?Copy !req
578. That's your code, right?
That's the hero's code.Copy !req
579. I tried to make them stop...Copy !req
580. but they kept pushing me down,
and they wouldn't let me get back up.Copy !req
581. I thought maybe 'cause you're my dad...Copy !req
582. I thought I might be like you.Copy !req
583. I'm not like you.Copy !req
584. You are like me.Copy !req
585. We can both get hurt.Copy !req
586. - I'm just an ordinary man.
- No, you're not.Copy !req
587. Why do you keep saying that?Copy !req
588. Elijah Price came to visit me
at the centre today.Copy !req
589. Jesus.Copy !req
590. He didn't do anything. He just...Copy !req
591. told me his theory.Copy !req
592. That's sad when patients get like that.Copy !req
593. They lose reality.Copy !req
594. Joseph, what the hell are you doing?Copy !req
595. Oh, my God.Copy !req
596. You don't believe. I'll show you.
You can't get hurt.Copy !req
597. That gun's not loaded. He doesn't
know where I keep the bullets.Copy !req
598. In your Rookie of the Year trophy.Copy !req
599. Joseph, did you load the gun?Copy !req
600. - You won't get hurt.
- Elijah was wrong.Copy !req
601. - When did he meet Elijah?
- He was with me when I met him.Copy !req
602. No one believes him.Copy !req
603. Joseph, listen to me.Copy !req
604. Sometimes when people get sick or hurt
for a long time, like Elijah...Copy !req
605. their mind gets hurt too, and they
start to think things that aren't true.Copy !req
606. He told me what he thought
about your father. It isn't true.Copy !req
607. I'll show you.Copy !req
608. Do you remember the story about the
- about the boy that almost drowned in the pool?Copy !req
609. That was me they were talking about.
I almost died. That was me.Copy !req
610. - You're lying.
- I'm not lying, okay? I just didn't remember it, that's all.Copy !req
611. Joseph, you know your father
was injured in college.Copy !req
612. You know that.
You know all about that.Copy !req
613. Don't do it.
He'll die, Joseph.Copy !req
614. - I'll just shoot him once.
- Joseph, listen to what your moth-Copy !req
615. Don't be scared.Copy !req
616. Joseph...Copy !req
617. if you pull that trigger,
I'm going to leave.Copy !req
618. Do you understand?
I'm going to go to New York.Copy !req
619. Y- Y-You're right.
If you pull that trigger...Copy !req
620. that bullet is just gonna bounce off me,
and I'm not going to be hurt.Copy !req
621. But then I'm going to go upstairs
and I'm gonna pack...Copy !req
622. and I'm going to leave for New York.Copy !req
623. - Why?
- Because I thought we were just starting to be friends for real.Copy !req
624. And friends'll listen to each other.
They don't-Copy !req
625. And-And they don't shoot each other,
uh, uh, do they, Audrey?Copy !req
626. N- No shooting friends, Joseph.Copy !req
627. Joseph!Copy !req
628. You are about to be in big trouble!Copy !req
629. Now, I am your father,
and I am telling you...Copy !req
630. to put that goddamn gun down
right now!Copy !req
631. One, two-Copy !req
632. I followed the guy
in the camouflage jacket.Copy !req
633. He had a silver gun with a black grip
tucked in the back of his pants.Copy !req
634. Were you really injured
in that car accident in college?Copy !req
635. 'Cause I believe you faked it.
I believe you took the opportunity...Copy !req
636. to end your football career,
no questions asked.Copy !req
637. And I think you did it,
of all things, for a woman.Copy !req
638. I guess that makes sense.Copy !req
639. Football's what, just ten years?Copy !req
640. But love?
Hmm. Now, that's forever.Copy !req
641. And that little bit of sadness
in the mornings you spoke of?Copy !req
642. I think I know what that is.Copy !req
643. Perhaps you're not doing
what you're supposed to be doing.Copy !req
644. Most guns have a black
or silver handle.Copy !req
645. I had a 50-50 shot
of getting the colour right.Copy !req
646. - That's not what I witnessed.
- Stop.Copy !req
647. Stop messing with my life, Elijah.Copy !req
648. My son almost shot me last night because
he wanted to prove you were right.Copy !req
649. I never said you couldn't be killed.Copy !req
650. - I never said that.
- My wife was right.Copy !req
651. There have been three major disasters,
and you were the only one unharmed.Copy !req
652. I have been sick.Copy !req
653. When I was a kid, I spent a week in the
hospital getting better from pneumonia.Copy !req
654. I almost drowned.
Two skinny little kids...Copy !req
655. were fooling around in a pool dunking me
and I swallowed some water.Copy !req
656. They didn't know it,
and it almost killed me.Copy !req
657. Heroes don't get killed like that.Copy !req
658. Normal people do, right?Copy !req
659. I don't need to see you any more, okay?Copy !req
660. Please stay away from my family.Copy !req
661. She said I could tell stories
that could make you cryCopy !req
662. What about youCopy !req
663. Hey, man, it's 20 after.
It's time to choose.Copy !req
664. I gotta head.Copy !req
665. And she sighed, ahh
I said, I want to be a singerCopy !req
666. You better not be jacking off to the
Japanese comics, I swear to God.Copy !req
667. Let's go, let's sit
Let's talk politicsCopy !req
668. Goes so good with beer
And while we're at it, babyCopy !req
669. Why don't you tell me
one of your biggest fearsCopy !req
670. I said, losing my penis
to a whore with diseaseCopy !req
671. Uh, look, man, I didn't
know you were in a-Copy !req
672. Losin'my life to
a whore with diseaseCopy !req
673. - Just choose something, all right?
- Excuse me, pleaseCopy !req
674. The baby-sitter's here.Copy !req
675. - Should we cancel?
- I'm fine.Copy !req
676. We can do this another time.Copy !req
677. Don't lie.Copy !req
678. I'm fine. I just got mixed up.Copy !req
679. How about we just go
for a couple drinks?Copy !req
680. Okay, look, man,
I'm-I'm just gonna wheel you out.Copy !req
681. All right? You can think about things
outside on the sidewalk.Copy !req
682. I gotta get some chicken in me,
you know what I'm sayin'?Copy !req
683. I've been tired, I've been tiredCopy !req
684. I've been tired, I've been tired
I've been tiredCopy !req
685. - I told the tale of a girl
- Shit!Copy !req
686. She's a little bit older than meCopy !req
687. Strong legs, strong face
voice like milkCopy !req
688. Breasts like a cluster of grapesCopy !req
689. I can't escape her waysCopy !req
690. She raise meCopy !req
691. - Dude.
- Even if you have no oneCopy !req
692. Man, I don't care if you are in
a wheelchair. If you do that again...Copy !req
693. I'm calling 5-0.Copy !req
694. And while you're at it, babyCopy !req
695. Man.Copy !req
696. You don't want to sleep
after setting my loins on fireCopy !req
697. That's it, crackerjack. You're gonna
be sitting your ass in jail now.Copy !req
698. I've been tired, I've been tired
I've been tiredCopy !req
699. I've been tired, I've been tiredCopy !req
700. I've been tired, I've been tiredCopy !req
701. - I've been tired, I've been tired
- How much for this one?Copy !req
702. I've been tiredCopy !req
703. - Rust?
- Yeah.Copy !req
704. As a colour, not as rust.Copy !req
705. You know, like rust-coloured
paint or wood.Copy !req
706. - I didn't know that.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
707. Mine's still brown.Copy !req
708. Okay, my turn.Copy !req
709. Favourite song?Copy !req
710. "Soft and Wet" by the Artist
Formerly Known as Prince.Copy !req
711. What?Copy !req
712. We're supposed to be honest.Copy !req
713. "Soft And Wet. "Copy !req
714. That's very interesting.Copy !req
715. Okay, my turn.Copy !req
716. When was the first time...Copy !req
717. the thought popped into your head
we might not make it?Copy !req
718. That's not the game.Copy !req
719. It's the first date.
There aren't any rules.Copy !req
720. - Don't know for sure.
- Think carefully.Copy !req
721. What about the game?Copy !req
722. It's over. I won.Copy !req
723. Look, maybe it wasn't
a specific moment.Copy !req
724. - Maybe it was a time-
- I had a nightmare one night...Copy !req
725. and I didn't wake you up so you
could tell me that it was okay.Copy !req
726. I think that was the first time.Copy !req
727. Does that count?Copy !req
728. That counts.Copy !req
729. Do you knowingly keep me
and Joseph at a distance?Copy !req
730. Yes.Copy !req
731. Why?Copy !req
732. I don't know.Copy !req
733. I just don't feel right, Audrey.Copy !req
734. Something's...Copy !req
735. just not right.Copy !req
736. Do you resent us, David?Copy !req
737. Resent the life you have?Copy !req
738. I mean, there were a lot of other things
you could've done after college.Copy !req
739. These were your choices.Copy !req
740. You know, even if it meant
we couldn't have been together...Copy !req
741. I never would've wished
that injury on you.Copy !req
742. What you could do physically...Copy !req
743. was a gift.Copy !req
744. I never would've wished it to go away.Copy !req
745. You know that, right?Copy !req
746. You had two calls after Joseph
went to bed. One came through...Copy !req
747. while I was on the other line,
but I wasn't talking too long.Copy !req
748. There was an emergency with my sister. She tried to do
her own perm, and now she looks like she stuck her head-Copy !req
749. Who called through?Copy !req
750. Um, someone from New York...Copy !req
751. uh, about a security job.Copy !req
752. They want to hire you. I didn't know
you guys were moving to New York.Copy !req
753. Thanks for telling me.Copy !req
754. We weren't all gonna move.Copy !req
755. Oh.Copy !req
756. I let the answering machine
pick up the other call.Copy !req
757. Great.Copy !req
758. Look, let's just be honest here.
We're just at the beginning...Copy !req
759. and I don't expect
you or I to change...Copy !req
760. the course of where
our lives were headed...Copy !req
761. because of one date.Copy !req
762. And if you do go to New York,
we can develop this.Copy !req
763. We'll just be forced to take it slow.Copy !req
764. And in the end, I think
that's definitely better.Copy !req
765. I mean, this is our second time around,
David. I didn't expect us...Copy !req
766. to get carried away.Copy !req
767. But I guess "congratulations"
is the right thing to say.Copy !req
768. David, it's Elijah.Copy !req
769. It was so obvious.Copy !req
770. It was this one issue
that brought it back for me-Copy !req
771. Century Comics 117.Copy !req
772. That's where this group,
the Coalition of Evil...Copy !req
773. tried to ascertain the weakness
of every superhero...Copy !req
774. because they all have one,
just like you.Copy !req
775. Your bones don't break.
Mine do. That's clear.Copy !req
776. Your cells react to bacteria
and viruses differently than mine.Copy !req
777. You don't get sick.
I do. That's also clear.Copy !req
778. But for some reason, you and I
react the exact same way to water.Copy !req
779. We swallow it too fast, we choke.Copy !req
780. We get some in our lungs, we drown.Copy !req
781. However unreal it may seem,
we are connected, you and I.Copy !req
782. We're on the same curve,
just on opposite ends.Copy !req
783. The point of all this is we
now know something we didn't.Copy !req
784. You have a weakness- water.Copy !req
785. It's like your kryptonite.Copy !req
786. You hearing me, David?Copy !req
787. Audrey?Copy !req
788. Gotcha. Come on.Copy !req
789. Audrey. Audrey.Copy !req
790. Hey!Copy !req
791. You'll be okay.Copy !req
792. What- What happened?Copy !req
793. I thought I was-
I thought I was dead.Copy !req
794. Me too.Copy !req
795. Is she all right?Copy !req
796. I think her leg's broken.Copy !req
797. Are you hurt?Copy !req
798. Hey, man, are you hurt?Copy !req

806. It's all right to be afraid, David...Copy !req
807. because this part won't be
like a comic book.Copy !req
808. Real life doesn't fit into little boxes
that were drawn for it.Copy !req

we should call the police, okay?Copy !req
832. Okay?Copy !req
833. Okay.Copy !req
834. You were right.Copy !req
835. This is one of Johann Davis'
earliest drawings.Copy !req
836. See the villain's eyes?Copy !req
837. They're larger than
the other characters'.Copy !req
838. They insinuate a slightly skewed
perspective on how they see the world-Copy !req
839. just off normal.Copy !req
840. He doesn't look scary.Copy !req
841. Mm-hmm. That's what I said to my son.Copy !req
842. But he says there's always two kinds.Copy !req
843. There's the soldier villain
who fights the hero with his hands...Copy !req
844. and then there's the real threat-
the brilliant and evil archenemy...Copy !req
845. who fights the hero with his mind.Copy !req
846. Are you Elijah's mother?Copy !req
847. I am. I'm helping him with the sale.Copy !req
848. Nice to meet you. I'm David Dunn.Copy !req

852. Looks like he's doing good today.Copy !req
853. I'm very proud of him.Copy !req
854. He's come through a lot in his life-Copy !req
855. a couple of bad spills
I thought had broken him.Copy !req
856. Mm-hmm. They were bad...Copy !req
857. but he made it.Copy !req
858. Yes, he did.Copy !req
859. He's kind of a miracle.Copy !req
860. Yes, he is.Copy !req
861. - I'll tell him you're here.
- Thank you.Copy !req
862. We'll work something out.
Always able to work something out.Copy !req
863. It has begun.Copy !req
864. Tell me something, David.Copy !req
865. When you woke up this morning,
was it still there?Copy !req
866. The sadness?Copy !req
867. No.Copy !req
868. I think this is where we shake hands.Copy !req
869. - Look!
- Did you see it?Copy !req
870. I worked in that building 25 years.Copy !req
871. I know all its secrets.Copy !req
872. Secrets?Copy !req
873. Like if there ever was a fire
on floors one, two or three...Copy !req
874. everyone in that hotel
would be burned alive.Copy !req
875. Passengers aren't allowed in there.Copy !req
876. Do you know what
the scariest thing is?Copy !req
877. To not know your place
in this world...Copy !req
878. to not know why you're here.Copy !req
879. That's-Copy !req
880. That's just an awful feeling.Copy !req
881. What have you done?Copy !req
882. I almost gave up hope.Copy !req
883. There were so many times
I questioned myself.Copy !req
884. You killed all those people.Copy !req
885. But I found you.Copy !req
886. So many sacrifices...Copy !req
887. just to find you.Copy !req
888. Jesus Christ!Copy !req
889. Now that we know who you are...Copy !req
890. I know who I am.Copy !req
891. I'm not a mistake.Copy !req
892. It all makes sense.Copy !req
893. In a comic, you know how you can tell
who the arch-villain's going to be?Copy !req
894. He's the exact opposite of the hero.Copy !req
895. And most times, they're friends,
like you and me.Copy !req
896. I should've known way back when.
You know why, David?Copy !req
897. Because of the kids.Copy !req
898. They called me Mr Glass.Copy !req
