00:00:00Hmm, you excited to go see the lake, Cody?
00:00:10Get to see where Daddy proposed to Mommy.
00:00:12No, you're lucky that's not what I said.
00:00:16Oh, did you get the sunblock that I asked for?
00:00:20Huh?
00:00:21Sunscreen, did you bring it down?
00:00:23What do we need sunscreen for?
00:00:25What do we need sunscreen for?
00:00:26We're gonna be in the sun all day.
00:00:27What do we need sunscreen for?
00:00:29When we were his age, we were out on the beach all day with nothing on.
00:00:32I have 16 millimeter films. We look like lobsters.
00:00:36Don't end up like your dad.
00:00:39Too late!
00:00:59Okay, so how long are you gonna be on that thing?
00:01:04Uh, sweetie, this thing is allowing me to get away for the day. I'll be done in just one second, okay?
00:01:09All right, fine. Then Cody and I are gonna sing something.
00:01:12Uh, Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
00:01:16Okay.
00:01:17All the king's horses and all the king's men could've put Humpty together again.
00:01:20What?
00:01:21You win anything else.
00:01:22You don't like that? Why don't you sing something, Pop McCartney?
00:01:24Okay.
00:01:25How about in the pines?
00:01:26In the pines?
00:01:27Really? No. No weird folk music. Weird folk music?
00:01:42Oh, uh-oh. Will you get his bear, babe?
00:01:47Yeah.
00:01:48I get it.
00:01:54No, you want to just sit right there?
00:01:56Desi, what if we want to snuggle?
00:02:12Why are you looking at me like that?
00:02:31Like what?
00:02:32Like I've completely lost my mind.
00:02:36You've been here for a long time. You know I would never use that phrase.
00:02:40Right.
00:02:42You'd probably sugarcoat it.
00:02:45I'd make you happy if I said, like, I'm having a psychotic break.
00:02:51I'm just trying to understand why you feel compelled to leave right now.
00:02:58I told you.
00:03:01Because my brother has been taking care of my parents' estate since their death,
00:03:07I haven't been able to help him. I need to be there. It's time.
00:03:14And when was the last time that you talked to him?
00:03:17You know that, that is irrelevant.
00:03:21You know he's reclusive.
00:03:23You just have been making so much progress.
00:03:26Is four years really progress, Dr. Lamford?
00:03:32Yes.
00:03:34These things save time. You know this.
00:03:39And money.
00:03:44Excuse me?
00:03:46Just saying, if my parents didn't have so much of it,
00:03:48probably wouldn't have been able to stay for so long.
00:03:51So how much of my condition do you really care about?
00:03:57If you were suggesting that we have anything but your best interests at heart,
00:04:04that we would suggest you remain here simply to collect your money.
00:04:08Okay.
00:04:11Okay.
00:04:14I didn't mean it.
00:04:16Sorry.
00:04:18Megan, you are here voluntarily.
00:04:23You can, of course, leave whenever you'd like.
00:04:25But Megan, think about it first.
00:04:39Long and hard.
00:04:44I already have.
00:04:55Hey, it's Gary. You know what to do.
00:05:10Hey, it's me. I'm about an hour out.
00:05:16I miss the ocean.
00:05:20I can't wait to see you.
00:05:22We'll see you soon. Bye.
00:05:25Bye.
00:05:55Bye.
00:06:25Hey, it's Gary. You know what to do.
00:06:26Hi. I'm here.
00:06:27I don't see your car anywhere.
00:06:28So I guess I'll just use the spare key, which I hope is still there.
00:06:29Otherwise, you're in big trouble.
00:06:30Anyways, call me back. Where are you?
00:06:31I don't see your car anywhere.
00:06:32So I guess I'll just use the spare key, which I hope is still there.
00:06:34Otherwise, you're in big trouble.
00:06:35Anyways, call me back. Where are you?
00:06:36Alright, bye.
00:06:37Bye.
00:06:38Bye.
00:06:39Bye.

00:07:33Please don't you need everything, sis.
00:08:01Yes.
00:08:06Hey, it's Gary.
00:08:07You know what to do.
00:08:08Hey, I'm in.
00:08:09No thanks to you.
00:08:10The key isn't where it usually is,
00:08:12and luckily nobody ever fixed the back door,
00:08:15so you definitely owe me.
00:08:17Jerk.
00:08:18Where are you?
00:08:19Call me back.
00:08:31Come on, Gary!
00:08:36Come on, Gary!
00:08:37Come on, Gary!
00:08:38I just ate your dinner.
00:08:40I didn't kick her.
00:08:41Yes, you did.
00:08:42No, I didn't.
00:08:43Yes, you did.
00:08:44No, no, I didn't.
00:08:45Yes, you did.
00:08:46No, I didn't.
00:08:47No, I didn't.
00:08:48That thing's not staying in the house.
00:08:55It was passed down to me from my dad.
00:08:57It has to stay there.
00:08:58Well, you can keep it in the attic.
00:09:00That's no place for Beethoven.
00:09:01How could you possibly put Beethoven in the attic?
00:09:04In the attic.
00:09:05Julia!
00:09:35No, no, I didn't.
00:09:36Oh, no.
00:09:37Oh, no, I didn't.
00:09:38I didn't.
00:09:39I didn't.
00:09:40I didn't leave it to honor the bathroom.
00:09:41I was not about to scare people.
00:09:42I stood up here for a while.
00:09:43I had aniceps or a while ago.
00:09:44I had anrespect of a champion.
00:09:45It was good to say and was a lady.
00:09:46It was good.
00:09:47I was not to the judge.
00:09:48I was a dancer, too.
00:09:49I was not a kid.
00:09:50I couldn't catch up with her.
00:09:51And I was a kid, you know.
00:09:53I was a kid that she was like...
00:09:54Like, I had an old man,
00:09:56why was a kid who was in the house.
00:09:57I was a kid I got a kid.
00:09:58I was a kid.
00:09:59I was a kid who was a kid.
00:10:00Gary, working at the pit tonight, come by later for coffee, and then maybe my place after
00:10:11my shift?
00:10:12Lisa.
00:10:13Way to go, Gary.
00:10:18I'm going to go.
00:10:31I'm going to go.
00:11:13Gary?
00:11:43Hey, it's Gary.
00:11:48You know what to do.
00:11:49Hey, where the hell are you?
00:11:51This is getting weird.
00:11:52I just took a nap.
00:11:54I'm gonna unpack.
00:11:56Give me a caller.
00:11:57Hopefully, I'll just see you soon.
00:11:59I'll see you soon.
00:12:15Hey, it's Gary.
00:12:30You know what to do.
00:12:31Hey.
00:12:32All right.
00:12:33Enough already.
00:12:34Where are you?
00:12:35Just call me back.
00:12:37Where else?
00:12:39Gary, working at the pit tonight.

00:12:53Just have a seat anyway.
00:12:54Okay.
00:12:55Hi.
00:12:56Just have a seat anyway.
00:12:57Okay.
00:12:58Hi.
00:12:59I'll just be right with you.
00:13:00Just have a seat anyway.
00:13:02Okay.
00:13:03Okay.
00:13:04Hi.
00:13:05I'll just be right with you.
00:13:09You know what you want?
00:13:10Oh, uh, I just...
00:13:11Just have a seat anyway.
00:13:12Okay.
00:13:16I'll just be right with you.
00:13:34You know what you want?
00:13:37Oh, uh, I just need a moment.
00:13:40Actually, do you mind if I order from Lisa?
00:13:43Suit yourself.
00:13:51I don't usually get requests.
00:13:53Oh.
00:13:54I think we have a mutual friend.
00:13:56He's not a friend. He's my brother, Gary Burke.
00:14:00Sorry, I don't think I know him.
00:14:04Gary Burke?
00:14:06Yeah, does it ring a bell?
00:14:07I assumed you were seeing each other?
00:14:14Unless this Gary also goes by Jimmy
00:14:16and has been married to me for three years.
00:14:17I don't think I know him.
00:14:23Uh, can I get you anything?
00:14:26Just to have coffee.
00:14:28Just to have coffee.
00:14:29Hello?
00:14:59I don't need a lesson on what it just breaks me, Larry.
00:15:03I'm just telling you, it's highway robbery.
00:15:07Yeah, I might be a humble public servant,
00:15:09but I will sue your ass if you try for repossession.
00:15:15Hi.
00:15:17Hi.
00:15:18Hey.
00:15:20Um, are you the sheriff?
00:15:22Yeah, yeah, that's what they tell me.
00:15:26All right, come on in.
00:15:27Okay.
00:15:30Just, uh, open that door.
00:15:37Sorry to bother you so late.
00:15:39Well, not a problem.
00:15:40Megan Burke.
00:15:41Megan Burke?
00:15:42Ah, Sidney and Gladys' daughter.
00:15:45Yeah, that's right.
00:15:48I was a damn shame about your folks, you know,
00:15:51going so close together.
00:15:53But with all due respect, you know,
00:15:55sometimes that's for the best.
00:15:57A couple like that, they don't want to live without each other.
00:16:00Right.
00:16:01You knew my parents well, Sheriff?
00:16:04Bronson.
00:16:05Sheriff Bronson.
00:16:07And yeah, yeah, of course.
00:16:09They kept to themselves quite a bit, as you know,
00:16:11but they're always playing nice to me.
00:16:13Now, what can I do for you?
00:16:18Well, I was supposed to meet my brother at our house this afternoon,
00:16:22and he never showed up.
00:16:25At first, I thought I was playing a trick.
00:16:27I mean, it sounds silly saying it out loud, but...
00:16:29No, there's nothing silly about that.
00:16:31Not if you're concerned.
00:16:33Now, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about a missing person
00:16:36until 48 hours, in case this is what this is.
00:16:39No, I wouldn't use that word.
00:16:41I wouldn't call him missing.
00:16:42I was just wondering if you had seen him around town recently.
00:16:46Not sure if I have.
00:16:48Uh, do you have a picture?
00:16:52Sorry, what?
00:16:55A picture? Do you have a picture?
00:16:56I'm more than happy to look at it.
00:16:58I'm pretty good with faces as it comes with the territory.
00:17:01Of course.
00:17:02Um, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.
00:17:04I'm just asking if you've seen my brother, Gary Burke.
00:17:10I understand what you're saying, Miss Burke.
00:17:11I don't know what you want me to say.
00:17:15I'm assuming you know him well.
00:17:19Why?
00:17:22Because he's been living with my parents for the past few months.
00:17:25He's been taking care of my dad ever since he got sick.
00:17:29Not as far as I know.
00:17:32Okay, wait.
00:17:35Here.
00:17:42Gary Burke.
00:17:43Oh.
00:17:44Well, it's a nice-looking young man, but...
00:17:48No?
00:17:50He doesn't look familiar.
00:17:52You're telling me you haven't seen him?
00:17:55Around town?
00:17:56With my dad at their house?
00:17:59Miss Burke, until tonight,
00:18:00I didn't know your parents had a son.
00:18:02Okay, then who's been taking care of their place?
00:18:11The Andersons.
00:18:13The Andersons?
00:18:15Eldon and Rita Anderson.
00:18:16It's an older couple.
00:18:18He had a garage down on Elm.
00:18:19She worked at the Cherry Pit Cafe.
00:18:21Both retired.
00:18:22They do some odd jobs around town.
00:18:24I'd like to talk to them.
00:18:25Yeah, of course.
00:18:27They live on Sycamore.
00:18:28Last house on the left.
00:18:29Uh, you can't go tonight.
00:18:32They, uh, they retire early,
00:18:33like most folks around here.
00:18:37All right.
00:18:38Thank you for your time, Sheriff.
00:18:40You should get some rest.
00:18:42You know, these things tend to make
00:18:43a lot more sense in the daylight.
00:18:47Right.
00:18:48Five hundredths times a try.
00:19:18Hey, it's Gary.
00:19:22You know what to do.
00:19:44Here's the sanity.
00:19:45Regan.
00:20:13Regan.
00:20:15Oh, you know who I am?
00:20:17Of course.
00:20:18I heard enough about you from your parents.
00:20:21And, of course, your pictures were all over the house.
00:20:24Plus, and I know this is going to be hard to believe,
00:20:26but I even remember you as a little girl.
00:20:30But come on in.
00:20:31I'm sure you have a bunch of questions for us.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:35Come on.
00:20:36Eldon.
00:20:38Eldon, get out of here.
00:20:39Come on in, dear.
00:20:42Hi.
00:20:43Oh, hi.
00:20:43Megan.
00:20:44Yes.
00:20:45Nice to see you.
00:20:46Megan.
00:20:46Nice to see you.
00:20:46Please, have a seat.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:49So, how about some coffee or tea, maybe?
00:20:52I mean, we have all sorts of flavors.
00:20:54I'm okay.
00:20:55All right.
00:21:00First, let me just tell you how sorry we are.
00:21:05They were very special people.
00:21:07Oh, thank you so much.
00:21:10Um, so you two took care of their place after they passed?
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:15Well, we became close to your parents over the last few years.
00:21:20Our kids are long gone.
00:21:23We moved to the city years ago,
00:21:25so we all sort of bonded as empty nesters.
00:21:29Oh.
00:21:30Well, so it, you know, just seemed the neighborly thing to do
00:21:33to keep the place in order until you arrive to lay claim.
00:21:39Hmm?
00:21:40Um, so you must have been in touch with my brother.
00:21:46Uh, I'm sorry?
00:21:48Your brother?
00:21:52Uh-huh.
00:21:56I don't believe we knew you had a brother.
00:22:00Um, Gary?
00:22:07My parents, they must have mentioned him.
00:22:10Um, no.
00:22:12I, I don't believe they did.
00:22:16I, I'm guessing he moved away years ago?
00:22:20No.
00:22:21No.
00:22:22He, um, he's been staying at the house
00:22:24for the last few months.
00:22:26You, you must have seen him.
00:22:28You must have seen his things.
00:22:30Uh, you know, I, I'm sorry.
00:22:33Uh, maybe you're mistaken?
00:22:46My parents, they told you where I've been the last few years.
00:22:50Yeah.
00:22:52Uh, they told us.
00:22:57Okay.
00:22:58So you think that I'm completely nuts right now?
00:23:02No.
00:23:04I, uh, no, I just think you might be confused.
00:23:09I'm not, I'm not confused.
00:23:11I am not confused.
00:23:12Let me show you.
00:23:28No.
00:23:28No.
00:23:28No, no, no, no.
00:23:30No.
00:23:30It, it, it was all here.
00:23:35His clothes, his stuff.
00:23:37It was, it was right here.
00:23:38It was right here.
00:23:40His books and his, his money and his...
00:23:42What?
00:23:43Honey, honey, come sit down.
00:23:45Oh, my God.
00:23:49Now, let's just try to figure this thing out, okay?
00:23:52Wait, wait, his voicemail.
00:23:54His voicemail, look, I'll prove it to you.
00:23:56This is his voicemail.
00:24:00We're sorry.
00:24:01You have reached a number that has been disconnected.
00:24:05No!
00:24:07Yeah.
00:24:08Uh, maybe we should call the doctor.
00:24:11I can't.
00:24:11No.
00:24:17No, just, I just, I just need you.
00:24:19Yes, please, please.
00:24:20No.
00:24:21I just need you to go.
00:24:24Are you sure?
00:24:25Yes, I just need you to go.
00:24:29All right.
00:24:37Okay.
00:24:39Okay.
00:24:40You're okay.
00:25:07You're okay.
00:25:09You're okay.
00:25:27Hello?
00:25:37Hello, ma'am. This is James with Harper Cruise Lines.
00:25:58I've selected you on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Caribbean.
00:26:07...
00:26:14...
00:26:18...
00:26:31...
00:26:35I hope it's not too early for a drink.
00:26:51Never too early in these parts.
00:26:55Plus, I don't judge.
00:26:57I just pour the drinks.
00:26:59What'll it be?
00:27:00I see.
00:27:02I'm in the house.
00:27:23Why?
00:27:24Because I didn't get too many pretty and alcoholic customers
00:27:29in here at 10 a.m.
00:27:35You got a name?
00:27:39Megan?
00:27:40Duke.
00:27:41Nice to meet you.
00:27:43Pleasure.
00:27:44Is this where you ask what a girl like me is doing
00:27:47in a place like this?
00:27:49Again.
00:27:51I just pour the drinks.
00:27:53What are you reading?
00:28:03Just a prop.
00:28:05Makes the clientele think I'm a lot smarter than I actually am.
00:28:11I'm sure the clientele is really curious.
00:28:14Mm-hmm.
00:28:15What is it?
00:28:19Victor Hugo.
00:28:23French literature.
00:28:25Completes the ruse.
00:28:26Hey, do you know a guy named Gary Burke?
00:28:39Gary Burke.
00:28:41Gary Burke.
00:28:42I don't believe I do.
00:28:45At least not by name.
00:28:48Why do you ask?
00:28:49Who's that?
00:28:50My brother.
00:28:51Your brother?
00:28:52Mm-hmm.
00:28:54Megan, Brooke.
00:28:55That's me.
00:28:58Not married.
00:29:03Anyway, sorry.
00:29:04Why do you, uh, why do you ask about your, uh, your brother?
00:29:08He lives here in town.
00:29:11Up in the house that's on the hill.
00:29:13You know the one?
00:29:14Yeah.
00:29:15Yeah, no, who doesn't know that house?
00:29:18Doesn't even really belong in these parts.
00:29:24Just thought maybe he'd come in here.
00:29:27He knows where to find a good drink.
00:29:30Doesn't really like people.
00:29:32Well, half the town comes in here and the other half never have, never will.
00:29:44Oh, I suppose that's...
00:29:50Gary?
00:30:02You just think I'm completely insane.
00:30:14No.
00:30:16I mean, you don't strike me as...
00:30:22somebody who's particularly nuts.
00:30:24At least not any more than the rest of us.
00:30:28You don't know me very well.
00:30:33Try me.
00:30:35don't know me.
00:30:36I mean, you don't do that.
00:30:38I mean, you don't take care of that concert.
00:30:41It was really such a long time with people.
00:30:43I was gonna kind of make.
00:30:45You know what, she had to be...
00:30:46an schöneg Una fois.
00:30:46I had to meet too,
00:30:47a Holiday Inn.
00:30:48I was gonna fall and pray...
00:30:49Wow, she's gonna be on fire.
00:30:49I richtig, man.
00:30:50I could...
00:30:51keep living out the window,
00:30:51I could be a hour and a half hour,
00:30:53I was gonna make.
00:30:54I can eat too.
00:30:54I can eat too.
00:30:55If I was 15 minutes or something like it,
00:30:57I can eat too.
00:30:58I can eat too.
00:30:59Like a foodborne,
00:31:00I'm gonna create a lawn morn nook,
00:31:02Come on, there's got to be something.
00:31:32Who are you? Who are you?
00:31:50You're magic. It's your... it's your imagination.
00:31:56It is so nice to finally meet you, Megan.
00:32:19I got to know your parents quite well.
00:32:23I just wish it was under different circumstances,
00:32:26but that is one of the drawbacks to estate law.
00:32:30Right. I'm a little embarrassed to admit this,
00:32:34but the will, my family's estate,
00:32:37that wasn't something we ever discussed.
00:32:40Well, I'm not surprised. Few families talk about it.
00:32:43Until they have to.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:46But the good news is that as far as these things go,
00:32:50it is all pretty straightforward.
00:32:53You are the sole beneficiary of the home and property.
00:32:57Sole... beneficiary?
00:33:01Uh-huh.
00:33:03I'm not gonna lie to you, the paperwork can be a nightmare.
00:33:07Especially because, as you're aware,
00:33:09your parents had substantial monies.
00:33:12But don't worry. I will walk you through all of it.
00:33:15And, of course, it takes a while for these things
00:33:17to become official,
00:33:19filings and whatnot.
00:33:20But for all intents and purposes,
00:33:22the house is yours.
00:33:24Welcome back to Skillman's Bluff.
00:33:29You're welcome.
00:33:59So she was nothing but helpful?
00:34:04And as nice as could be.
00:34:06Still, I felt there was something, some kind of...
00:34:12Why'd you feel a chill?
00:34:15Like she was hiding something from me.
00:34:17But she didn't say anything to, I don't know,
00:34:20indicate there were any problems with the estate?
00:34:22No. Quite the contrary.
00:34:24She said the chain of ownership was very straightforward.
00:34:27There was some confusing paperwork,
00:34:28but she would help me navigate that.
00:34:31Yeah, well, the more confusing,
00:34:32the more billable hours, right?
00:34:34Well, I didn't realize how cynical you were.
00:34:36I'm just dealt with my fair share of attorneys.
00:34:39Right.
00:34:41But it's weird she never mentioned your brother.
00:34:45No.
00:34:47And you didn't think to bring it up?
00:34:49I did think about it.
00:34:51But she had ample opportunity to mention him.
00:34:54She never did.
00:34:56Yeah, I see.
00:34:58I've been thinking about this.
00:35:00No, you have.
00:35:02Well, in my spare time, usually, I'm far too busy.
00:35:05But seriously, though, I mean, could your parents
00:35:07and your brother had some sort of...
00:35:10some sort of falling out?
00:35:12Not that I know of.
00:35:14But even if they had,
00:35:18they wouldn't just cut him out like that.
00:35:21My dad was a tough guy.
00:35:23That's how he became so successful.
00:35:25But he's not vindictive.
00:35:27Then I'm all out of ideas.
00:35:30I do.
00:35:35So...
00:35:37You're really gonna stay here?
00:35:39Why not?
00:35:41Why not?
00:35:42Why not?
00:35:43I don't know.
00:35:44It just seems like Skillman's Bluff might be a little...
00:35:47small town for you.
00:35:49You seem like someone who needs a little bit more...
00:35:51excitement, sophistication.
00:35:54Really?
00:35:58What about you?
00:36:00This beach town isn't exactly a hotbed of French literature.
00:36:04I got my own reasons for staying.
00:36:09But you really need to stay.
00:36:11I've lived here my whole life.
00:36:13I mean, I went away for college.
00:36:15Had a few... rough years.
00:36:21I spent my childhood here.
00:36:24Some of the happiest memories of my life.
00:36:26I was hoping maybe I could...
00:36:29recapture that.
00:36:31Does that sound crazy?
00:36:33No.
00:36:36That sounds like one of the most sane things I've heard...
00:36:38in a long time.
00:37:00You sure it was a rattlesnake?
00:37:10Yes!
00:37:13In the passengers.
00:37:19I don't see anything, Negan.
00:37:22What?
00:37:25Maybe it got out.
00:37:26You don't see it?
00:37:30You sure?
00:37:31Yes, it was right there in my passenger seat.
00:37:33Okay.
00:37:56Someone tried to kill me.
00:38:04Excuse me.
00:38:05Someone put a snake inside of my car.
00:38:08Who's this?
00:38:09It's Duke.
00:38:10Duke?
00:38:12Yeah, Duke.
00:38:13I'm the bartender over at Hubbard's.
00:38:14Oh, Hubbard's, yeah.
00:38:15I think we've been called out there on numerous occasions.
00:38:19Anyway, Megan was at the bar with me this morning
00:38:21when whoever put this snake in the car...
00:38:24I'm sorry.
00:38:25What time was that?
00:38:26Just a little bit ago.
00:38:27I don't know.
00:38:2810, 10.30.
00:38:29Alright, so the two of you were drinking at 10.30 this morning.
00:38:31No, we weren't drinking.
00:38:33We were just at the bar.
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:37Go ahead.
00:38:38What we were doing at 10 in the morning or 10 at night
00:38:41is completely irrelevant.
00:38:42What is relevant is that somebody put a deadly snake
00:38:45in this woman's car.
00:38:46Actually, son, your state of mind at the time
00:38:49is completely relevant.
00:38:50Oh, look, a rattlesnake bite, that's no walk in the park.
00:38:55Okay?
00:38:56I'll give that to you.
00:38:58But we got a handful of hikers
00:38:59that get tagged on the ankle every summer.
00:39:01Now, we get them to the hospital in time,
00:39:02and it's far from deadly.
00:39:05What difference does that make?
00:39:06Somebody clearly tried to hurt her.
00:39:09With a rattlesnake.
00:39:11You said a rattlesnake, right?
00:39:13That's right.
00:39:14Yes.
00:39:15You want to guess how often we're called out
00:39:20to someone's house because a rattlesnake
00:39:22sees the AC dripping underneath a car?
00:39:25All they need is the size of a dime
00:39:28to slither their way inside.
00:39:30Now, doesn't that sound like a more probable way
00:39:34that snake got in the car as opposed to
00:39:37someone put it there?
00:39:40Look.
00:39:42It's not the first time someone was out on a bender and...
00:39:44Hold on.
00:39:46Nobody was drinking.
00:39:47I told you that.
00:39:48No one was on a bender.
00:39:50Sheriff, somebody is trying to kill me.
00:39:54You know, Megan, I think we're done here.
00:39:55Let's go.
00:39:56I walked to my car,
00:39:57and there was a snake on the driver's seat.
00:39:59Do you think it really slithered up there?
00:40:02Do you listen to anything anybody says
00:40:04when they walk into your door?
00:40:05Do you just sit there with your pump?
00:40:08Let's get out of here.
00:40:12Thanks for nothing.
00:40:15I don't know why you pulled me out of there.
00:40:20I was about to give him a piece of my mind.
00:40:22That's why I pulled you out.
00:40:23Wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference anyhow.
00:40:25You saw how antagonistic he was the second we walked in?
00:40:27Yeah, but why?
00:40:31Nah, I don't know.
00:40:33Was he like that the first time you met him?
00:40:35No.
00:40:36He was confused.
00:40:37He was unhelpful.
00:40:38But he wasn't hostile.
00:40:43I don't know.
00:40:46Let's get out of here.
00:40:47I've got this little secret spot.
00:41:06This is unbelievable.
00:41:07Hey, it goes on forever.
00:41:12This is amazing.
00:41:13When's the last time you were here?
00:41:14I guess, like, high school.
00:41:16And I went off to college and, you know.
00:41:20And then what?
00:41:21Life.
00:41:22Right.
00:41:23What about you?
00:41:24Seems like a strange place to end up.
00:41:26I mean, unless, of course, you're in it for the literary scene.
00:41:30Uh, no.
00:41:31My dad was in the guard, you know.
00:41:32The guard?
00:41:34Coast guard.
00:41:35Yeah.
00:41:36We moved around a lot growing up.
00:41:37Never had a lot of friends, so kind of just always took the books.
00:41:41Must have been hard.
00:41:42Not really.
00:41:43It's all I knew.
00:41:45I suppose it's the same for all military breaths.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:49I suppose.
00:41:51Uh, were you ever... were you ever married?
00:41:56I'm getting right to it.
00:41:59No.
00:42:00No.
00:42:01Never.
00:42:02Close?
00:42:03Many times.
00:42:05Really?
00:42:06What happened?
00:42:07The usual.
00:42:09Okay.
00:42:10The usual.
00:42:11How about you?
00:42:15You don't want to know.
00:42:16Of course I do.
00:42:21Really?
00:42:22Yeah.
00:42:27I was...
00:42:31I was married.
00:42:33We had a son.
00:42:36We were a...
00:42:38perfect little family if there ever was one.
00:42:42We were so happy.
00:42:47Cody.
00:42:48Cody.
00:42:49He's my son.
00:42:50Brian, my husband.
00:42:51He...
00:42:52worked so much.
00:42:53I always gave him such a hard time.
00:42:56Truth was...
00:42:58I was so proud of him.
00:42:59He was so driven.
00:43:00We had a...
00:43:01a rare day off.
00:43:02And we were going up to a beautiful swimming hole in Lake Farrington, up in the mountains.
00:43:16It's actually where Brian proposed to me.
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:20I was driving because he had to catch up on some emails.
00:43:26And I...
00:43:31I took my eyes off the road for a split second.
00:43:33Oh, my God.
00:43:35Yeah.
00:43:37Wow, Megan.
00:43:38I'm so sorry.
00:43:40It wasn't your fault.
00:43:42It was.
00:43:44I've come to terms with that, and it absolutely was.
00:43:47It's been...
00:43:48hard to cope with, but...
00:43:49I've been in a treatment facility for the last few years.
00:43:53Anytime I think I'm getting better...
00:43:54I'm not.
00:43:55I'm not.
00:43:57...I'm not.
00:43:58...I'm not.
00:43:59Absolutely was.
00:44:03It's been...
00:44:05hard to cope with.
00:44:07I've been in a treatment facility...
00:44:10for the last few years.
00:44:15Any time I think I'm getting better...
00:44:18I'm not.
00:44:23Wanna see a picture?
00:44:29It's coming.
00:44:59I'm not.
00:45:01It's coming.
00:45:03I'm not.
00:45:05You're going to cut off the left.
00:45:07I've been to a part.
00:45:09I'm not.
00:45:11I've been to an officer for a long time.
00:45:13I've been to a very short time.
00:45:15I've been to an officer for a long time.
00:45:17I'm not sure what it's doing.
00:45:19I can't do anything.
00:45:21I can't do anything.
00:45:23I can't do anything.
00:45:25I can't do anything.
00:45:27I don't know.
00:45:57I don't know.
00:46:27I told you it's a secret.
00:46:32Can you at least tell me what you have planned?
00:46:36If I did, I'm afraid you won't want to come.
00:46:39What are we doing at the high school, Duke?
00:46:55Getting proof.
00:46:57Please tell me you at least knew the night janitor.
00:46:58Come on.
00:47:06He went out.
00:47:13Who was the bartender?
00:47:17What?
00:47:19Oh, God.
00:47:21Oh, God.
00:47:22Come on.
00:47:26What are we doing?
00:47:29You're taking a trip down memory lane.
00:47:32Oh, you know where we're going?
00:47:34No.
00:47:35You're the one who went here.
00:47:37In the daytime.
00:47:39There.
00:47:41The library?
00:47:42Bingo.
00:47:52What are we doing?
00:47:59The yearbook.
00:48:01Give me that.
00:48:02Give it to me.
00:48:03What you were looking for.
00:48:05Where is it?
00:48:06There's got to be around here somewhere.
00:48:10Oh, the yearbooks.
00:48:13I found him.
00:48:14Here you are.
00:48:16You should be here.
00:48:17Come on, come on.
00:48:18Yes.
00:48:18Yes.
00:48:19Hold this.
00:48:21It's got to be.
00:48:22He has to be in here.
00:48:27Gary.
00:48:32I'm not crazy.
00:48:35I never thought you were.
00:48:38That makes one of us.
00:48:39I'm not crazy.
00:48:52I've never kissed a criminal before.
00:49:11Just a little B and E.
00:49:12There's nothing.
00:49:17I'd like you to come in.
00:49:19I really would.
00:49:21But.
00:49:22Go on.
00:49:37Get out of here.
00:49:38Okay.
00:49:39Okay.
00:49:52What's this?
00:50:00This is proof.
00:50:04Proof of what?
00:50:10Right there.
00:50:11Read it.
00:50:12Gary Burke.
00:50:21Right.
00:50:26Ms. Burke.
00:50:27I don't, I don't know what you think, what you think you remember, but I never said your
00:50:34brother didn't exist.
00:50:36I just said I didn't know.
00:50:38I didn't know your parents had a son.
00:50:41He went to Skillman's Bluff High School.
00:50:44He lived here in town.
00:50:45He lived with my parents.
00:50:46Not since I've been sheriff.
00:50:47I'm sorry.
00:50:50You know what?
00:50:51I should have said, not that I'm aware of.
00:50:55Why are you doing this?
00:50:57You know, I'm not doing anything, Ms. Burke.
00:50:59But I'm going to be honest.
00:51:02I'm getting real sick and tired of your outbursts.
00:51:05I mean, you come charging in here with all these outlandish claims, and all you did was
00:51:09bring me an old yearbook that shows your brother went to high school here once.
00:51:13I don't have time for my own problems, Ms. Burke, let alone your manufactured ones.
00:51:25You're going to be sorry.
00:51:37So what is it exactly that you're doing?
00:51:40I'm trying to see if any of Gary's high school teachers still live here in town.
00:51:43And if they do, I'm going to go have a chat with him.
00:51:45Because whatever the sheriff is up to, not everybody can be in on it.
00:51:50Look.
00:51:52Yep.
00:51:54Ms. Ellen's slow.
00:51:56English lit.
00:51:57And it says in the directory here that she still lives at the same address.
00:52:07Okay, maybe you want to give her a call first to make sure she's at least going to be home?
00:52:11No, definitely not.
00:52:12I-I don't want to give her a warning.
00:52:14More importantly, I don't want her to call anyone.
00:52:17Maybe I should go with you in case something...
00:52:20I don't know, it's in case something happens.
00:52:22I want to surprise her and not scare her.
00:52:25Are you afraid I'm going to terrify this little old lady?
00:52:28No, I just think that I'll probably, you know, get more out of her woman to woman.
00:52:34Okay.
00:52:36But you let me know exactly what happens as soon as you meet with her.
00:52:39Absolutely, I promise.
00:52:41I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:43I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:44I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:45I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:46I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:47I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:48I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:49I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:50I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:51I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:52I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:53I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:54I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:55I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:56I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:57I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:58I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:59Um, Ms. Snow?
00:53:23Yes?
00:53:25My name is Megan Burke.
00:53:26I was hoping that I could speak to you for a moment.
00:53:29Well, um, come in.
00:53:38Come in.
00:53:50Oh, here, let me help you.
00:53:52No, no, no, sit down, sit down.
00:53:54I've taught some of the toughest 10th graders.
00:53:57You can imagine, for almost 40 years, I think I can handle a tray of coffee.
00:54:02Yes, absolutely.
00:54:06And believe me, that wasn't when students were shipped out and sent to Juvenile Hall for just a little horseplay.
00:54:14No.
00:54:15Those students were downright dangerous.
00:54:18Well, not my brother, I hope.
00:54:22Hmm?
00:54:22Who is your brother?
00:54:24Gary Burke.
00:54:25You know him?
00:54:30Well, of course I know him.
00:54:32Oh, from high school?
00:54:35Nope.
00:54:36Well, maybe.
00:54:37Well, maybe.
00:54:38I mean, I might have had him in one of my classes, but no, I meant now, uh, in town.
00:54:44But I haven't seen him in a little while.
00:54:47Well, is everything okay?
00:54:49Well, when you say lately, you've seen him recently.
00:54:52How recent?
00:54:53Oh, a few days now.
00:54:55You saw my brother a few days ago?
00:54:57About that.
00:54:58Yeah.
00:54:59I see him every day when he goes over to, um...
00:55:04My dear, maybe you should explain some of this to me.
00:55:08Well, um, thank you, Ms. Snow.
00:55:11Oh, thank you for taking your time to speak with me and, um, for the coffee.
00:55:17Oh.
00:55:18Oh, I wonder if she left something.
00:55:34Did you forget something?
00:55:40No.
00:55:45No.
00:55:46No!
00:55:47No!
00:55:48No!
00:55:57She knows him, Duke.
00:56:00She knows him.
00:56:01Wait, so she was his teacher?
00:56:03Yeah, no.
00:56:04Yes, maybe.
00:56:05She knows him now, from town.
00:56:07Huh.
00:56:08As in a few days ago.
00:56:09A few days ago?
00:56:11What the hell's going on?
00:56:13I have no idea.
00:56:14But something's going on and...
00:56:16I don't know who's in on it or why, but something is happening.
00:56:19I'm gonna go to that sheriff and I'm gonna tell him that someone from town knows my brother Gary!
00:56:24No, I wouldn't.
00:56:25I wouldn't do that, Megan.
00:56:26Why?
00:56:27Because we don't know what his game is.
00:56:29Look, I agree with you.
00:56:30There's something totally shady about that guy.
00:56:31I just don't think that we should let him know that we know that he's lying.
00:56:36I don't think that we should tip our hand just to prove that.
00:56:40Oh.
00:56:41You might be right.
00:56:43Of course I'm right.
00:56:47Okay.
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50So what now?
00:56:51Look, I'm almost done here.
00:56:53Why don't you go home?
00:56:55Mm-hmm.
00:56:56Try to calm down.
00:56:57And then after I'm done, I'll come by and then we can talk about what to do next.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:04Okay.
00:57:31I'm just gonna come see you.
00:57:33Well, imagine that.
00:57:36What's wrong?
00:57:40Ellen Snow was just murdered.
00:57:46What?
00:57:51I just wanna make sure you understand you can call a lawyer anytime you want.
00:57:58Am I under arrest?
00:57:59Uh, no, we're just, we're just talking.
00:58:04Then I don't need a lawyer.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:09Tell me what happened.
00:58:13Well, Miss Snow, she has a neighbor.
00:58:17Miss Hawkins, and she saw a young woman running out of her house.
00:58:21She thought that was a bit peculiar because Miss Snow doesn't get a lot of visitors.
00:58:25So she wrote down the license plate of that car.
00:58:30Then...
00:58:32Miss Hawkins went over there to check on Ellen Snow.
00:58:36Make sure she's okay.
00:58:39It's the neighborly thing to do.
00:58:42She got there, and the door was open.
00:58:48She called out to her, but nobody responded.
00:58:51So she let herself in.
00:58:54And she found Ellen Snow laying on the living room floor.
00:58:59Dead.
00:59:01Dead.
00:59:06How?
00:59:10Well, the initial report suggests suffocation.
00:59:13But we'll know more when the autopsy comes back.
00:59:15That's awful.
00:59:17Yeah.
00:59:19You want to take a guess who that car is registered to?
00:59:21God, the crap, Sheriff.
00:59:23We both know that I went to visit Miss Snow today.
00:59:25I was probably also the last person to see her alive.
00:59:28Besides the killer.
00:59:30Besides the killer.
00:59:31Besides the killer.
00:59:33I've got nothing to hide.
00:59:35I'm obviously being framed.
00:59:37Or someone was trying to shut her up.
00:59:39Shut her up?
00:59:40Yeah.
00:59:42Miss Snow is a 76-year-old English teacher.
00:59:44Why would anyone want to shut her up?
00:59:46Because she knew my brother.
00:59:48She just saw him a few days ago.
00:59:50Miss Burke, what were you doing in Ellen Snow's home?
00:59:52I went there to talk to her about Gary.
00:59:54Why do you think she would know anything?
00:59:57Because she was a teacher in his high school.
00:59:59She still lives here in town.
01:00:01What?
01:00:03Why?
01:00:05You're a woman who's in the house.
01:00:07Why are you laughing?
01:00:08Why are you laughing?
01:00:10I'm a woman who's in the house.
01:00:11I'm a woman who's in the house.
01:00:12I'm a woman who's in the house.
01:00:13I'm a woman who's in the house.
01:00:14I'm a woman who's in the house.
01:00:15I'm a woman who's in the house.
01:00:16So, tell me again everything she told you.
01:00:27She said she knew him.
01:00:31John Cavanaugh, was he with you?
01:00:33Who?
01:00:35No, you don't know his real name, do you?
01:00:37Your friend calls himself Duke.
01:00:40Was he there?
01:00:43No.
01:00:43Why?
01:00:48Miss Burke, how well do you know John Cavanaugh?
01:00:52This Duke gentleman.
01:00:57Well enough.
01:01:07Miss Burke, you're not leaving Miss Gilman's Bluff anytime soon, are you?
01:01:10You know I'm not.
01:01:11Well, that's good.
01:01:16That's real good.
01:01:26You're free to leave.
01:01:27Bye.
01:01:28Bye.
01:01:28Bye.
01:01:30Bye.
01:01:49Bye.
01:01:53Hey, Megan, it's Duke.
01:02:15I've been calling you, but I couldn't reach you.
01:02:19I've been stopped by your house, but you weren't there.
01:02:21So, uh, just call me.
01:02:26Hope everything's okay.
01:02:51All right, then, okay?
01:03:01What's wrong?
01:03:04What's your name?
01:03:06Your real name.
01:03:09You don't like Duke?
01:03:10I'm being serious.
01:03:13John?
01:03:16John Cavanaugh?
01:03:17Well, hell, I'd tell you my middle name, too, but it's a little embarrassing.
01:03:31Okay, just hear me out.
01:03:33I know this is gonna sound so crazy.
01:03:36Go on.
01:03:36I spent the day with Sheriff Brunson being interrogated.
01:03:43I'm sorry, what?
01:03:45No, let's know.
01:03:47She was killed right after I left her.
01:03:52What are you talking about?
01:03:53What?
01:03:54I don't understand.
01:03:54I don't either, but he hinted that he thinks that I had something to do with it.
01:04:01But he didn't arrest you?
01:04:03No, because he has no evidence.
01:04:06And because...
01:04:08You're gonna think I'm crazy.
01:04:12I'll tell you the truth.
01:04:12I'm starting to think this whole thing is pretty crazy.
01:04:14Please.
01:04:15Please tell me that I'm lying.
01:04:19Megan, come on.
01:04:20What is going on?
01:04:20I think that Sheriff Brunson killed my brother.
01:04:27Killed your brother?
01:04:29Yes.
01:04:30Him and the Andersons and maybe even the lawyer, Nancy.
01:04:35Nancy Allendale.
01:04:37Okay, that...
01:04:38Come on, you gotta admit, that sounds kind of far-fetched, don't you think?
01:04:41Yes, I do.
01:04:42Absolutely.
01:04:43But it's the only logical explanation here.
01:04:47How else can you explain all of this?
01:04:49You know that I have a brother.
01:04:52You saw the yearbook.
01:04:53Miss...
01:04:53Miss Snow said she saw him just a few days ago.
01:04:58Duke.
01:04:59Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
01:05:00I'm just thinking.
01:05:02Mrs. Snow...
01:05:03Why would they kill her?
01:05:05Because she talked to me.
01:05:07Because she knew too much.
01:05:09Because she wouldn't play ball.
01:05:11She wouldn't go along with it.
01:05:12Oh, come on.
01:05:13Would they really kill her?
01:05:15If they would kill my brother, why not?
01:05:17Okay.
01:05:22If that's true,
01:05:24then why wouldn't they have just gotten rid of her like they did with your brother?
01:05:27It's faster, it's easier, it's safer for them.
01:05:29Why would they go through the motions of an entire investigation and try to pin it on you?
01:05:35Because a single male disappearing, that's not too unusual.
01:05:39It's very easily explained away.
01:05:41No one would really think anything about it.
01:05:43But a little old lady who never leaves her house, that's cause for suspicion.
01:05:47It's much easier to murder her and pin it on someone with a motive.
01:05:52The big question though, why?
01:05:55Why you?
01:05:56The oldest motive in the world.
01:06:00Sex?
01:06:00Money.
01:06:04Money?
01:06:08How?
01:06:09The parents, they had a lot of it.
01:06:13So much so that I was actually quite self-conscious about it growing up.
01:06:19Do you have any idea what the house is worth?
01:06:22Or the estate for that matter?
01:06:26Quite a bit I can imagine.
01:06:28There's no other family.
01:06:29With Gary gone, the entire estate goes to me.
01:06:35So what do you say now?
01:06:35You think they're going to come and kill you too?
01:06:38No, I don't think that.
01:06:39I think that would be, that would be too suspicious.
01:06:43What are you saying?
01:06:45I think they're going to try to have me recommit it.
01:06:48Against my will.
01:06:49You know, it's getting late.
01:07:02I think I should probably get going.
01:07:03I've got to open in the morning.
01:07:05Right.
01:07:07You don't want to spend the night with a nutcase either.
01:07:10Megan, stop doing that.
01:07:12Stay.
01:07:15Stay.
01:07:24Hello.
01:07:24Hello?
01:07:24Hello?
01:07:37Hello?
01:07:38Hello?
01:07:38Hello.
01:07:38Hello?
01:09:10I heard a noise.
01:09:12It woke me up.
01:09:14It makes you know it was in the house.
01:09:17Okay.
01:09:18And?
01:09:20No.
01:09:22Okay.
01:09:23So I have to bed.
01:09:24Okay.
01:09:40Okay.
01:09:41Okay.
01:09:42Okay.
01:09:42Good afternoon.
01:09:43Okay.
01:09:44Okay.
01:09:44So I have to go for it.
01:09:46Okay.
01:09:46Okay.
01:09:47Okay.
01:09:47So I have to go.
01:09:48Okay.
01:09:48I'll be right back.
01:09:49Okay.
01:09:49Okay.
01:09:49I'll be right back.
01:09:50I don't know.
01:10:20Not open yet, sweetheart.
01:10:23Oh, uh, I'm just, uh, looking for...
01:10:26Is Duke here?
01:10:27You are?
01:10:29A friend of his.
01:10:31Friend, huh?
01:10:32Yeah.
01:10:32Thought he seemed a little more upbeat lately.
01:10:36I'm sorry, is he here?
01:10:38It's important.
01:10:40No, he's not here.
01:10:41But if you do find him before I do,
01:10:43you can tell him he's fired.
01:10:45Pardon me?
01:10:46He was supposed to be here at 8.
01:10:48We had a big delivery coming down from the distributor.
01:10:51Most of our weekend stock,
01:10:52he was supposed to be here to accept it.
01:10:55You mean he hasn't been here at all today?
01:10:58I closed up yesterday.
01:10:59Just fell asleep around dawn.
01:11:02Then I'm woken up and I'm getting screamed at
01:11:04by a pissed-off delivery man
01:11:05because he has a full run today.
01:11:07Let me tell you,
01:11:08he better not have gotten cold feet, little weasel.
01:11:11Cold feet?
01:11:12For what?
01:11:14How good of friends were you?
01:11:17Duke was planning to buy this place from me.
01:11:20Yeah.
01:11:21Thought he could do more with it.
01:11:22Fix it up.
01:11:23Bring in a different sort of customer, I guess.
01:11:27Was this recently?
01:11:29We've been talking about it forever.
01:11:30Saving for a while.
01:11:32Problem was,
01:11:33he was never able to secure the loan.
01:11:35He promised he was getting the money together.
01:11:37But he always seemed kind of flaky.
01:11:43Do you know where his house is?
01:11:45House?
01:11:47I thought you were friends with him.
01:11:50Um.
01:11:51Huh.
01:11:52Not that good, I guess.
01:11:55Listen.
01:11:55Pull out your phone.
01:11:57You want to GPS it.
01:11:58It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:07Occupion.
01:12:08I don't know.
01:12:38Duke!
01:12:55Hey, Duke.
01:12:58I need to talk to you.
01:13:08Duke?
01:13:15Duke?
01:13:17Duke?
01:13:25Duke?
01:13:26Duke?
01:13:27Duke?
01:13:32Duke?
01:13:33Duke?
01:13:35I don't know.
01:14:05Do you know a guy named Gary Burke?
01:14:23My brother.
01:14:24He lives here in town, up in the house that's on the hill.
01:14:29Yeah.
01:14:29Yeah, no, who doesn't know that house?
01:14:32Do you have any idea what the house is worth?
01:14:34Quite a bit, I can imagine.
01:14:35How good friends were you?
01:14:42Duke was planning to buy this place from me.
01:14:44He was never able to secure the loan.
01:14:47They always seem kind of flaky.
01:14:49Well, you don't know his real name, do you?
01:14:50Your friend calls himself Duke.
01:14:52I got my own reasons for staying.
01:14:53My own reasons for staying.
01:14:54Oh, my God.
01:15:08Oh, my God.
01:15:13Oh, my God.
01:15:19I know!
01:15:25Megan?
01:15:31911, what's your emergency?
01:15:33Hello, please. I'm at the helm of Duke, John Kavanaugh.
01:15:37I think he's gonna try to kill me. Please kill him quickly.
01:15:40Yes, ma'am. I have options on the way.
01:15:44Megan?
01:15:49What the hell?!
01:15:52Get away from me!
01:15:55What the hell's the matter with you?
01:15:57It was you.
01:15:59What are you talking about? What was me?
01:16:01You killed him. It was you the whole time.
01:16:04Who did I kill?
01:16:06You killed Gary, my brother.
01:16:09Megan?
01:16:11You're not well.
01:16:13Back up.
01:16:15Back up.
01:16:17Back up!
01:16:19Back up, you son of a bitch!
01:16:21Put that down.
01:16:23I've been trying to help you.
01:16:24You're gonna help me!
01:16:26You lying murderous bastard! Back up!
01:16:30I had nothing to do with your brother's disappearance.
01:16:36Then explain that!
01:16:38Explain what?
01:16:39Go look!
01:16:40Go look!
01:17:01Megan.
01:17:02You keep me.
01:17:03I had nothing to do with this.
01:17:07Stop lying!
01:17:12It's right in front of you!
01:17:14In your computer I saw!
01:17:16What you were searching for!
01:17:17Megan.
01:17:19I can see how that looks.
01:17:21You have to believe me.
01:17:23I had to make sure.
01:17:26Sure, what?
01:17:27You said it yourself.
01:17:29It all sounded a little crazy.
01:17:34I had to make sure.
01:17:37I like you.
01:17:39A lot.
01:17:42I had to find out about you.
01:17:48Brother.
01:17:49Tell him to the cops.
01:17:50It was Duke.
01:17:51He killed Gary.
01:17:52He killed him.
01:17:53Oh my God.
01:17:54That is not true.
01:17:55He's lying!
01:17:56I saw his body.
01:17:57You know what, Duke?
01:17:58I believe you.
01:17:59Oh my God.
01:18:00Oh my God!
01:18:01Oh my God!
01:18:02I believe you.
01:18:03Oh my God!
01:18:04I believe you!
01:18:05Oh my God!
01:18:06Oh my God!
01:18:07I believe you!
01:18:09Oh my God!
01:18:10I believe you!
01:18:12I believe you!
01:18:13I believe you!
01:18:14I believe you!
01:18:15You know what?
01:18:16I believe you!
01:18:17Oh, my God!
01:18:22What are you doing?
01:18:24No!
01:18:26This could have been so simple.
01:18:29But you made it complicated!
01:18:31It was you.
01:18:32You killed Gary.
01:18:34Yeah, among others.
01:18:36Why?
01:18:38Why?
01:18:40Come on, Megan.
01:18:42You know why.
01:18:43The parents died.
01:18:45The son's missing.
01:18:47The daughter's in a loony bin?
01:18:48I don't got to tell you what that estate is worth.
01:18:52Your parents are filthy rich.
01:18:54And they're arrogant.
01:18:56They never gave a dime to anyone in this town.
01:18:59Not their family.
01:19:01Not their neighbors.
01:19:02Not their friends.
01:19:04That's not true!
01:19:04They were good people!
01:19:06Oh, how the hell would you know?
01:19:08You weren't here.
01:19:10On this little windfall of cash, it's going to go a long ways to handling my financial problems.
01:19:13What are you going to do? Kill me?
01:19:17Unless you've got a better idea.
01:19:21You know, we kind of assumed that you'd snap once your brother went missing.
01:19:24Well, you turned out to be a little more resilient.
01:19:27Thanks to this idiot.
01:19:28Stop!
01:19:29Someone's going to talk.
01:19:38Someone's going to talk.
01:19:39Someone's going to say something.
01:19:40Who?
01:19:41Me?
01:19:45Nancy Allendale?
01:19:46The Andersons?
01:19:47We all have a huge windfall of money coming our way.
01:19:52And nobody else remembers or cares about your deadbeat brother!
01:19:58Well, hey, maybe Miss Snow, but I don't think she's going to be talking anytime soon.
01:20:02What are you thinking?
01:20:05You're not going to get away with this!
01:20:07Well, once we tie up these loose ends, it's really quite simple.
01:20:11The crazy, psychotic daughter comes back to town because the parents died.
01:20:17Well, that's easily corroborative, right?
01:20:19She meets an eager young suitor.
01:20:21They find out about the money and decide to keep it for themselves.
01:20:24So they kill Gary.
01:20:27And they wouldn't live happily ever after except for something goes wrong.
01:20:31It always does.
01:20:32And the sheriff shows up.
01:20:36That's me.
01:20:40After all, Megan, she called us.
01:20:41Right?
01:20:43And then we find out that Duke didn't only kill the brother.
01:20:47Well, he killed Megan, too.
01:20:49But luckily, the strong arm of the law shows up to put him down.
01:20:55Stop!
01:21:00Get the gun!
01:21:12Back up!
01:21:13Take it easy, sweetheart.
01:21:15You've never shot a gun before in your life.
01:21:19You're not going to kill me.
01:21:20How bad is it?
01:21:50I'll live.
01:21:53I'm so sorry.
01:21:56I know.
01:22:01So this alone?
01:22:04You maybe want another investor?
01:22:10Of course you're gonna need some serious rehab.
01:22:13I'm a fairly attentive nurse.
01:22:15Oh yeah?
01:22:18You got someone in mind?
01:22:22One condition.
01:22:27We find you a new place to recover.
01:22:32You know some place?
01:22:35I might.
01:22:37I might.
01:22:38I might.
01:22:39I might.
01:22:42I might.
01:22:46I might even know what's going on.
