课中坏事

　　迈克·李的《与此同时》描述了撒切尔夫人时代英国的经济衰退，是这位编剧兼导演在电视领域开创性工作的巅峰之作。他利用紧张的接触来打破菲尔·丹尼尔斯和蒂姆·罗斯饰演的兄弟俩枯燥乏味的日常生活，其中包括与一个努力成为中产阶级的一本正经的阿姨(玛丽安·贝利)，与一个快要发疯的喋喋不休的光头党(抢镜的加里·奥德曼，这是他第一个主要角色)，这令兄弟俩越来越不满。《与此同时》由迈克·李如今标志性的即兴创作过程以及贝克特式摇摆不定的对话节奏推动，是对领取失业救济金的生活的一种无情的、往往极其有趣的观察。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.

 公安人员朝鲁和助手刘小克奉命到内蒙古草原的诺敏塔拉牧场，重新审理发生在一年前的3万元现金失盗案。当时重点怀疑对象李莉已经精神失常，而另一个怀疑对象陈明清也突然在太原旅馆服毒身亡。朝鲁与牧场保卫科长白云等人急赴太原现场，于现场发现有另一人的行迹。据旅馆服务员讲，陈明清被害的当天晚上曾有人来电话找他。朝鲁分析，打电话的人很可能就是出现在现场并投毒的另一人。在朝鲁等人来到现场调查的过程中，始终有一个形迹可疑的怪老头，时时探听破案的情况。究竟是谁在那天晚上去了太原旅馆？又是谁打的电话？围绕这个问题，朝鲁暗中调查了牧场几个人后，发现疑点集中在林菁菁身上。而这个林菁菁又正是他插队时的女友林志红。朝鲁抑制住了个人的情感，四处调查林在那天晚上的行踪，结果证明林当时正坐在由北京开往哈尔滨的列车上，排除了林出现在太原旅馆现场的可能。朝鲁感到宽慰的同时，又为线索中断所困惑。正在此时，有人反映牧场里曾被劳改过的伊德尔在这期间曾几次出现在太原旅馆附近街头，经调查证明现场的痕迹正是此人留下的，此人又与被害者的妻子于冬梅过从甚密。朝鲁反复做于的工作，终于摸到伊德尔的行踪，他正要寻找伊，却在一个漆黑的夜晚意外地被人暗中击晕在太原街头。白云及时赶到，将朝鲁送入医院。当于冬梅交待伊德尔的住处后，伊却被怪老头拉走，消失得无影无踪。朝鲁出院后又对于冬梅做了大量工作，并从她那儿了解到分伊并不是凶手，陈曾在被害的那天下午，在太原一家餐馆与一女人共餐。这使朝鲁又重新想起了林菁菁。为什么她要留下几张能证明她在从北京到哈尔滨列车上的照片？朝鲁又重新沿着林出走的线路调查，终于找到了证明林就是凶手的第五张照片。这时伊的失踪引起白云的不安。一日，他突然收到怪老头的信，信中声称伊德尔在他手中，可以付重金交换。白云终于上当，露出原形，原来他正是这一盗窃案的主谋。他先后利诱威胁占有了林菁菁，并借林的手杀了陈明清。见事已败露，他决定取出赃物外逃，万万没想到怪老头步步紧跟，在他挖取赃物时及时赶到。原来这怪老头就是太原公安局暗中协助破案的老侦察员。公安人员将白云、林菁菁抓获归案。朝鲁目送林菁菁被押上警车，陷入深思之中。
