Tru Calling · Season 1
She's like me. She's, like, loyal…but she's…she's smart as hell. And she works her tail off.
Tell me about it. She comes in off-shift, practically memorizes the stats of all the corpses. That job…it's like she lives for it, you know?
Understatement of the year.
It's not just that. This whole superhero thing, all the running around I do…it's hard enough to keep the friends I have, let alone make new ones.
Well traditionally, superheroes don't have many friends. Just a close-knit group of allies and confidants.
Well I'm 22 years old Davis. I need more than allies and confidants.
Hey, at least you got a set of wheels now. So you can do your girly stuff and go save dead people. All the things that you like to do.
[on intercom] Hello?
Jack, it's Tru. I need to get in
Hey Tru. What are you doing on this side of the street?
Please Jack, I need to get into Cathy's apartment right away
Cathy? Who's Cathy?
Chris! Chris is Cathy! The girl that you followed. Please, Jack, hurry!
Okay, um, let me just try and figure this thing out… [He starts to press buttons randomly] Huh. It's trickier than I thought. [He presses a few more buttons] Did that do it?
[An old lady comes out of the door, and Tru seizes the opportunity]
Thanks, excuse me
Tru? Did that do it? Tru? Tru?
He's a hell of a guy. Great Dungeon Master. [Tru pokes her head back into the room] Oh God, did I just say that out loud?
So the meet's at noon. High noon.
Don't be so dramatic.
It's the first time me and Lindsay have seen each other since the breakup. We're exchanging stuff. How is that not dramatic?
Hey Tru, for what it's worth, I happen to think that you have a pretty exciting life, you know? Time travel, saving lives, pretty cool boss…
So what are you doing tonight?
Oh you know, the usual
Nothing?
[about Lindsay's boyfriend] What, he's foreign? He's from another country? And he just lives here, and all of a sudden he just pops the question and asks some chick to marry him? Hello? What does that say to you?
That he's impulsive and likes to travel?
Hi.
What are you...?
I never returned your key.
Harrison, tonight isn't...
I heard about the proposal.
And?
And I checked this guy out. I know it pisses you off.
Harrison.
You need to know something... before you make a mistake that you'll regret for the rest of your life.
You should go. You shouldn't be here.
Say yes. Say yes. He is the real deal. He's the better guy. A better guy than I could be for you. At least, right now. And he really loves you. Say Yes.
[Lindsay hugs Harrison as she starts to cry]
Thank you.
Look, it's not just supernatural theory, it's scientific fact. From eastern philosophy to Newton's Third Law of Motion. They all say the same thing: every force has an equal and opposite force. I should have said something sooner, but I didn't have any real proof until today. You're right about Jack. He is not like you, he is the opposite of you. You save lives and he..
..takes them.
Don't get your hopes up, I just came in to give my two weeks' notice.
Don't bother. Davis took you off the payroll when we realized you were Death.
Today isn't gonna be your day, Harrison.
Nah, today's the day that I'm gonna be a better man. Today's the day that I'm gonna...
Die.
I just wanted to let you know that, uh, Harrison won't be showing up today.
Ah, good old Tru. At least she's gonna make this sporting. [laughs] So, why don't you tell me what you really want.
I just wanted to hear it for myself.
What's that?
Who you are. What you can do. How you can live with yourself.
I respect you, Davis. You're a man of science. You want answers, conclusions. So how's this? I preserve the order of the universe by ensuring the cycle of life.
Well, fate already has a representative, Jack, and it is not you.
Tru? Now this is where we're gonna have to agree to disagree. Because if Tru was serving fate, why does fate need me?
She helps people live.
Who were supposed to die! Don't you see? She can't win.
You're wrong. I've seen her save people. She can win.
Yes. You've seen her outfox killers, talk people off ledges, and quite capably, I might add. But if you think that's the end of the story, you're missing the best part.
Oh, what's that?
I think that we'll save that for another time. Wouldn't want to blow all my best material at once, but it's good to see you, boss. Tell Harrison I'll catch him later.
