previously on "the dead zone"
Did you have a vision about something bad happening?
No, no. It was just a feeling.
When you get them, you come to me.
Leo vitali. I'm looking for walt.
Mr. Vitali, walt bannerman diedin the line of duty several months ago.
Sure makes me feel terrible for coming hereto collect a debt.
Walt owns a cabin on a three-acre parcelof land about three hours north of here.
What?
Do you haveany idea why walt would keep somethinglike this from you?
You knew walt was goingto die that day.
And when I asked you if you'd seen anything, you lied to me?
I don't think that there'sa future here after all.
It's been almost a monthsince I decided to move outof johnny's house.
You'll take that step forwardwhen you're ready.
your friend walt, he's sitting right next to you.
- What does he want? - I don't know.
He's holding an envelope, and he looks worried.
Whatever it was, it looked really important.
I guess I knowwhere I'm going after all.
Back home.
Johnny, you saved my life. Now go save yours.
Johnny.
When did you get back?
Just now.
So were you gonna tell me, or just let me come home to an empty house?
If I told you, you just would have tried to talk me out of it.
Yeah, you're right.
Sarah, don'T... don't go.
Look, I know I should have told you about walt in the vision that I had.
- oh, johnny. - Sarah, please!
Look, I can't make this upto you, but walt was investigatingsomething when he died.
- If I could figure out what it was- -then what?
Will it bring him back?
Will it change the factthat you lied to me?
Just... let it go.
Maybe we'll understandwhy I couldn't save him.
You have to move on.
Johnny...
we need to move on.
Can I help you, Mr. Smith?
Hey, how's it goin', jake?
Great.
I'm going to the pats-chargergame next week.
oh, that sounds cool.
Hey, have you seensheriff turner around?
Nah, she's takinga personal day.
And you're in charge, huh?
You must be impressingthe hell out of her.
No, no. I'm, uh, I'm not in charge.
I'm not ready for that responsibility. You know, even for a sunday.
Jake, have you been helping her with the walt bannermaninvestigation?
No, she's been tacklingthat one solo.
Oh, of course.
You don't happen to remember what walt was investigating when he died, do you?
No, I can't say that I do.
Uh, you know, you, uh, you probably shouldn't be in here.
No, you're right. It's very responsible of you.
You're on the job, jake.
Sheriff turner, did you see who did this?
Abraham lincoln.
No, sheriff, no!
Listen, jake, if you see sheriff turner,
tell her I really needto talk to her.
Is it a matterof life and death?
Yeah, you could say that.
AMBUSH
Sheriff?
Turner, you here?
Anna?
You're gonna be a sheriff.
I'll be in maine.
Hey.
You've been through a lot since your brother died.
Look, this is a chance for you to get away.
Okay? Get some perspective.
anna... if you're worried aboutwhat you're leaving behind,
you know you can alwayscome back, right?
Right?
So you think I shouldtake the job?
Yeah, I think youshould take the job.
Can I help you?
Oh, I'm sorry. The door was open.
I'm john smith. I'm a friend of anna'S.
John smith. The psychic?
- yeah. - Yeah?
- Yeah, anna's told meall about you. -Oh.
I'm doug o'connell. I just came up from new york to surprise her.
So you're the reasonfor her personal day, huh?
Is she around?
Uh, actually, I haven'tseen her yet.
- I figuredshe's at work. -Oh.
I wonder what she's doingon this personal day.
Your guess is better than mine. I don't know.
Anna's not one to talk to me about her personal life. You know?
- She never told meabout you. -Hmm.
Then again, she never told methat she played softball either.
Hello! Anybody here?
Can I help you, miss?
Uh, I'm looking for leo vitali.
- I haven't seen him. - Hmm.
A friend of minein somerset county raves about this jobhe did for him.
Please don't touch that.
Oh.
Sorry.
Uh, do you knowwhere I could find him?
Nope.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Did you-did you just have a vision?
Yeah, I think I knowwhere anna is.
- You wanna join me, or- - uh, no, no. That's okay.
I figured I should probablytake her some flowers or somethingbefore I see her.
Okay.
- Nice to meet you. - Yeah, you too.
Hey.
You need any help?
I was gonna ask youthe same thing.
Come here.
- Thanks. - For what?
Well... I know you're nervous, going to a new school, making new friends-
it'll be fine. Besides, we'll be livingnear a lake.
You could get me a jet-skifor my birthday.
A jet-ski? Really?
Well, unless you'd rather getme a snowmobile for christmas.
Well, we're gonna haveto see about that.
okay, I'm almost done in here.
Anything elseyou need me to do?
Nope.
Not a thing.
Excuse me, I'm supposed to meetleo with a friend of mine.
She's brunette, about 5'5". Do you knowwhere she went?
I already told your friendwhat I'm about to tell you.
Leo ain't here.
Oh, I missed her? Did she saywhere she was going?
You and your friend might want to look into cell phones.
If you'll excuse me, I've got a job site to run.
Sheriff turner?
Did you- did you see who did this?
Abraham lincoln.
abraham lincoln shot you, and johnny smith, and this other guy?
I'm sorry to bother you.
And yet you're still here.
I can't leave until I know where leo vitali is.
- He really told you to meet him here? -Yeah.
See, the reason I don't believe you is that he doesn't work here anymore.
- What, you fired him? - He quit.
At least I think he did. He didn't bothertelling me though.
He just stoppedshowing up last week.
You sound more angrythan concerned.
Look, I was worriedabout him at first.
So I went to his house. He'd cleared out.
Then I hear some of the guys saying that he'd takensome outside jobs.
Now I got my crew workingon a sunday to make upfor the time we lost.
I'm losing money on this gig, so yeah, I'm angry.
Now, you got any more questions, or can I get back to work here?
Nah, I'm good.
I'm sure you knowyour way out.
PENOBSCOT COUNTY SHERIFF
Hey, has the sheriffchecked in?
Not yet, Mr. Smith.
But she sure seems popular today.
She sure does.
- Hey, johnny. - Hey.
Any luck?
- No, what about you? - Nah.
I thought she might be here.
She works too hard to everreally take a whole day off.
Yeah, I had the same idea. I guess it wasn'tsuch a good one.
I suppose I'll just head backto her place, huh?
Find somethingto do until she comes home.
I'm sure the grout could usea scrubbing, right?
I got 'em.
I hate it there.
Yeah, what about allthe fresh air?
If I get hungry at 10:00, I can never order in chinese.
What's reallybothering you?
This investigationinto the old sheriff.
There's a lot of evidence, but it's not reallyadding up to anything.
And he was really respected, so the longer it goes on, the more the locals hate me.
You know, maybe I should quit. Let someone else handle it.
Someone who likes fresh air, but hates chinese food.
Anna.
I know you.
If you leave in the middleof an investigation, you'll neverforgive yourself.
You're probably right.
- Thanks. - Yeah, no problem.
- Guess I'll see you around. -Yeah.
Jj?
What are you doing?
We can't leave.
Honey, stop.
What happened in the last hour to change your mind?
Nothing.
Come on. You were fine. What's going on?
We need to stay and make sure johnny's okay.
Honey, johnny will be fine. He can take care of himself.
No. We shouldn't go.
Hey.
Stop.
Look, I know thatthis is hard for you.
Okay, but you're gonna haveto trust me on this.
It's for the best.
And johnny will always bein your life.
I promise you that.
Okay?
Okay.
Now let's repackthis stuff. The movers are here.
you give it to him.
Hi.
- We got you a present. - mom picked it out.
So you decidedto redecorate my office.
All right. Well, next time you getthe urge, just let me know.
I could usea dartboard over here.
Let's seehow it looks.
Great. Where is it?
It's right over there.
Thanks.
So you tracked me down here, smith.
When did you get back?
Why haven't you been answeringyour phone?
Uh, I was just, uh...
you know, I thought you might-
all right, look, I assumed you told sarah about seeing walt die.
I didn't mean to cause any problems.
Nah, I should have told her myself.
So you've been calling me all day, and you're sitting here waiting for me.
What's going on?
I had a vision about you that you were in trouble.
Trouble.
I've been looking for this guy leo vitali for over a week.
I really need to talk to him.
What the hell are you investigating?
Leo was doing some work on the cabin walt bannerman bought in somerset county.
There's some inconsistencies between what he told me
and the treasurydepartment's report.
Since the investigation is closed,
I don't want anyone to knowI'm still asking questions.
Wait a minute. The investigation's closed?
Technically, yes.
I was instructedto shut it down after it was confirmedthat
walt was receiving moneyfrom brian meek's family.
You happy now?
Actually, I am.
- Now you can talk about it. - What?
While I was gonean old friend of mine told me to find out
what walt was investigating before he died.
What friend?
It's a psychic friendof mine.
Another one?
Look, you're looking for information on leo vitali to find out information about walt.
And it's gottabe related, right?
How?
I don't know yet.
But if I can get a lookat walt's computer, maybe thingswould be different.
You can't be serious.
Now, look, I wanna go backto my personal day.
So unless you find something in here that'll give youa vision
that'll help explain how or why abraham lincolnis gonna kill me-
what?
Remember when you didn't wantthe help of a psychic, ms. "By-the-book?
" What, so now you want meto deputize you?
I think I knowwhere to look for leo.
so do I. The rusty trawler.
Looks like I don't needto deputize you after all.
It was good to see you.
I'm coming with ya.
Rusty Trawler Bar
Bartender said he was looking for a place to hide.
After what we saw in the motel room, you can't blame him.
Get out of the way!Come on!
You saw that too, right?
He doesn't look like he was going to a costume party.
Bullet-proof glass, huh?
I upgraded office security
when I got here.
Can never betoo safe, right?
All right, hold still.
Thanks.
What are you doing?
See what he's doing out there. How's leo?
still out, but he wasn't hit.
I'll call for help.
state police are on speed dial.
It's dead.
You got a cell phone?
It's in the car. What about yours?
It's out there in my jacket.
That guy's not gonna leave until he finishes his business.
How long do you think we havebefore he finds the keys?
There isn't one.
It's a keyless deadbolt.
See if he's got a cell phone.
Any other ideas?
How are you feeling?
What do you think?
Oh, my head.
Well, good morning, mr. Vitali.
How are we feeling today?
Uh...
he attacked me.
Yeah, I know. I was there.
No, in my room.
Who the hellwould wanna hurt you?
Oh, my god. What's he doing?
this doesn't look good.
You thinkit's gonna hold?
I don't know.
Oh, no.
get down!
How you doin'?
I'm okay.
doug?
Why was your boyfriend tryingto kill leo?
Boyfriend?That's not my boyfriend.
All right.
Why was doug o'connellafter you?
O'connell gave me 20, 000to come in here
and tell sheriff turner
about bannerman's cabinin somerset county.
Well, how did he knowthat walt owed you money?
I never even metsheriff bannerman.
Never even saw the cabin.
You have to understand,
my mother down in palm beach,
sometimes she turnson the stove and forgets.
I just wanted to hire someoneto take care of her.
So he paid youto lie to the sheriff.
And to let him knowif the sheriff ever came looking for me,
so when she leftthat message last week, I did.
Doug said he'd take care of it.
By trying to kill youso you couldn't talk to turner.
how's she doin'?
I'm fine.
Will you give usa minute alone, please?
So doug o'connelldidn't want you checking into
the inconsistencies in the bannerman investigation.
This doesn't make any sense.
Doug was my psychiatrist.
Your psychiatrist?
After emmett died, I talkedto the lieutenant about quitting the force.
Doug called me up and suggestedI might benefit
from a few sessions.
He said we could keep it casual,
meet in the park if I didn'twanna meet in a shrink's office.
I mean, he was great. He got me this job.
He also paid leoto lead you to the cabin.
What are you saying, that this is a conspiracy,
and that doug was a part of it?
It all goes back to walt.
Kinda makes you wonder what hewas looking into when he died.
Thank you for breakfast.
I was worried you weren't goingto make it.
You were out late.
Sarah, I may havefound out something
about walt and the cabin.
Johnny, please.
This is hard enoughas it is.
Can't you justlet it go?
For me?
Maybe you should say good-byeto jj.
We're leavingin a few minutes.
Okay.
Hey, kid, you all set?
Yeah.
Hey, maybe you cancome up soon.
The cabin's by a lake, and I'm getting a jet-ski.
A jet-ski, huh?
Yeah, you can teach mehow to drive it.
Sounds good.
Come here.
I love you, man.
I'm reallygonna miss you, johnny.
Me too.
Hey, listen.
You'll always have a room here. Okay?
Maybe your mom will letyou have some sleepovers.
Wait a minute. Is that my red sox hat?
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
No, no. Keep it.
It looks way betteron you.
Thanks.
Honey, take your sisterto the car.
Sure.
See ya, johnny. - Good-bye, son.
You don't need any helpunpacking or anything?
All right.
I know you don't believe me,
but I really wish things were different.
So do I.
Sarah.

Hey, jake. - Hey, uh.
How's it goin'?Come on in, buddy. - Uh, yeah, sure.
So how's sheriff turner?
Uh... getting better.
Yeah?
Uh, she asked meto bring you this.
We tried to check outdoug o'connell.
Tried to?
There's no record of him.
None?

They don't contract with anyone by that name,
for counseling servicesor anything else.
There's no criminal record?
Nope.
I mean, no driver's license,
no tax information, nothing.
What is this guy, some kind of spook?
Yeah, well, it looks that way.
What was walttrying to uncover?
