Summoned

Hello?

Is someone there?

Who's there?

You have reached David and Laura. Leave us a message...

Hello. It's Laura.

You didn't change the message.

It's been over a month.

I know, I know. I just haven't had the time.

I can't even find the instructions.

Keeping busy over there?

Yes.

Just gardening, painting,

trying to get all the pieces done for the show, you know?

Good. Good, good. Maybe you should,

I don't know, hit up eharmony while you're at it.

Vicki, come on.

It's either that or you move back to the city.

I can't be the only one getting action around here.

No, what I need is a big sale.

Yes. That, my dear,

is what alimony is for.

Oscar,

do you have the remote?

The San Francisco police department

has not confirmed that palardis's death

was in fact a suicide. The police are puzzled

regarding the circumstances surrounding this case. Hello?

- I am going to have to call you back. - Palardis was perhaps

best known as foreman of the jury

on the infamous midnight murderer case.

Six months ago, he self-published a book about the trial

and was reportedly working on a follow-up.

Do you want to tell me what the hell

we're doing up here, Mike?

I am investigating.

And you're in my light.

Now I know that must have hurt.

Don't you have some pressing business to take care of back at the station?

Well, actually, Mike, we both have

a lot of pressing business to take care of back at the station,

which is why I am wondering why you're wasting your time on a suicide.

People don't just throw themselves off buildings without a reason.

Well, I hate to tell you this, Mike,

but sometimes bad stuff just happens.

Shall I have the M.E. put that on the death certificate?

He can quote me on it.

Why don't you go grab a latte or something? I will be down in a few.

Who are you kidding with that? You know you want a cigarette.

I haven't had a cigarette in over a month.

Congratulations.

Listen, Mike, I know you knew the guy,

but please don't be too long.

There's no note.

I thought you'd like to know.

Thanks.

- All right, Frank. - Huh?

I brought you some magazines.

You expect me to be entertained

with these two-year-old magazines

and "the people's court"?

Oh, hi.

Thank goodness you came.

Hi, Frank. I brought you a muffin.

Oh, by the way, I got your invite about the opening.

Yeah, yeah. I was going to tell you

it's okay if you don't want to go.

It's just a small, little gallery. It's nothing, really.

I will bet you David is very proud.

Oh, I... I forgot.

It's okay.

Hey, you didn't bring the checkers.

No, I didn't today.

Um, I did bring you this, though.

I thought you might want to know.

What's this?

I.... I can't believe it.

The poor bastard.

Suicide?

Have you talked to him lately?

Well, he did call me about a year ago

to ask how I was

and sent me the book. Did he call you?

No, not since the trial.

And, the funeral is tomorrow, so...

Are you going?

Come on, it's been five years.

Do you think the others will be there?

I don't know. Maybe.

Seems like only yesterday....

...our brush with history.

You know, some things history should forget.

You should try reading that.

I prefer to keep the past where it is.

Listen, when you get to be as old as I am,

the past is all you have got.

I have got to get going.

So soon? You just came.

I have a lot of painting to catch up on.

Do you have to go?

I do, but I promise you

I will bring checkers next time.

Listen, you take care, huh?

Well, you too.

And you be nice to her.

Hey, bill.

No, it won't take very much time.

I just need someone to take a look at the door.

Maybe it needs a new doorknob.

Um, yeah.

And then can somebody also check the wiring in the kitchen?

The TV literally turned itself on today.

Thanks.

Oscar....?

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Oscar....

Oscar....

Oscar.

Oscar.

Oscar......

Come here, boy.

Oscar, what are you doing?

Do that again, and it's dry dog food.

Aww.

Why did you scare me like that?

They are not dead...

who leave us this great inheritance

for remembering joy.

They still live in our hearts,

in the happiness we knew

and the dreams we shared.

They still breathe

in the lingering fragrance windblown....

....from their favorite flower.

They still smile

in the moonlight's silver.

And they laugh. They still speak

in the echoes of the words we have heard them say

again and again.

They still move

in the rhythm of waving grasses

and the dance

of billowing branches.

They are not apart from us.

They are a part of us,

for love is eternal.

Miss price.

Detective Michael lyons, homicide.

Got a second to talk about Nathan?

Homicide? I thought the papers said that he killed himself.

Papers say a lot of things.

He had a chart on the wall of his apartment....

all the jurors from the midnight trial.

He did write a book.

So you're saying you hadn't had any communication with him?

Not in five years.

Why did you come to his funeral?

Detective, what are you trying to ask me?

I was just wondering... of the 12 names,

why yours was the only one circled.

I just want to go home.

When you feel up to it...

Good morning, Frank.

Time to rise and shine.

Oh, Frank, how many times have I told you?

Close this window. You're going to catch a cold.

Frank.

We were on a jury together five years ago.

Frank and I stayed in touch on and off.

When he had a stroke, I....

I really.... you know, I tried to visit him

as often as I could.

I have his things here.

He had no next of kin.

Would you like to feed my birds?

No, thank you.

He's dead.

They were late with the medicines this morning.

They're never late with the medicines.

His visitor will not be happy.

I asked them to keep their voices down.

I was trying to sleep.

It was so late.

What visitor?

It's a big one.

Aww, he's very hungry. Aren't you, fella?

So many evils.

What was that?

I asked them to keep their voices down.

I was trying to sleep.

Would you like to feed my birds?

Just as I thought.....

you're the only visitor listed.

So it isn't possible for anyone else to have gotten in,

not after hours?

We lock the doors at 9:00 sharp

for the safety of our residents, of course.

Anyone who doesn't have a key card...

Let me go.

Cool it, would you? Knock it off.

Bam. I had Parker slip me the results
