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?
00:06:36All right, bye.
00:06:37Bye.
00:06:38Bye.
00:06:39Bye.
00:06:40Bye.

00:07:03Gary!
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!
00:09:35And now...
00:09:38This is where my dad is above the gate.
00:09:40I have to come reverse the gate.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42Today, he got stuck in my head.
00:09:43Let's turn my head over and open the door.
00:09:45I'll open the bus owner here right now.
00:09:47In the attic.
00:09:48So that's where dad.
00:09:49I'm having trouble sharing your head
00:09:50and before dad is on it.
00:09:52I wanna give a few ideas about something?
00:09:54What do you trust a stitch partner?
00:09:55Where's what
00:10:04Gary, working at the pit tonight. Come by later for coffee, and then maybe my place after my shift?
00:10:11Lisa. Way to go, Gary!
00:10:34There she is.
00:11:21Gary?
00:11:40Hey, it's Gary.
00:11:48You know what to do.
00:11:49Hey, where the hell are you?
00:11:51This is getting weird.
00:11:53I 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.
00:12:19Hey, it's Gary.
00:12:30You know what to do.
00:12:31Hey.
00:12:32All right.
00:12:33Enough already.
00:12:34You've taken it far enough.
00:12:36Where are you?
00:12:37No.
00:12:38Just call me back.
00:12:40Or else.
00:12:44Gary, working at the pit tonight.
00:12:46Come by later for coffee.

00:14:58I don't need a lesson on what it just breaks me, Larry.
00:15:03I'm just telling you, it's highway robbery.
00:15:04Yeah, I might be a humble public servant, but I will sue your ass if you try for repossession.
00:15:14Hi.
00:15:16Uh, hey.
00:15:19Um, are you the sheriff?
00:15:21Yeah, yeah, that's what they tell me.
00:15:25Uh, come on in.
00:15:28Okay.
00:15:29Just, uh, open that door.
00:15:34Sorry to bother you so late.
00:15:38Well, not a problem.
00:15:39Megan Burke.
00:15:40Megan Burke?
00:15:41Ah.
00:15:42Sydney and Gladys' daughter.
00:15:44Yeah, that's right.
00:15:46Oh.
00:15:47That was a damn shame about your folks, you know, going so close together.
00:15:52But with, with all due respect, you know, sometimes that's for the best.
00:15:56Couple like that, they don't want to live without each other.
00:15:59Right.
00:16:00You knew my parents well, Sheriff?
00:16:03Brunson.
00:16:04Sheriff Brunson.
00:16:05And yeah, yeah, of course.
00:16:08They kept to themselves quite a bit, as you know, but they're always playing nice to me.
00:16:14Now, what can I do for you?
00:16:16Well, I was supposed to meet my brother at our house this afternoon, and he never showed up.
00:16:23Um, at first I thought I was playing a trick.
00:16:26I mean, sounds silly saying it out loud, but...
00:16:28No, there's nothing silly about that.
00:16:30Not if you're concerned.
00:16:31Now, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about a missing person until 48 hours, in case this is what this is.
00:16:37No, I, I wouldn't use that word. I wouldn't call him missing.
00:16:41I was just wondering if you had seen him around town recently.
00:16:44Not, not sure if I have.
00:16:47Uh, do you have a picture?
00:16:51I'm sorry, what?
00:16:54A picture? Do you have a picture? I'm more than happy to look at it.
00:16:56I'm pretty good with faces as it comes with the territory.
00:16:59Of course, um, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm just asking if you've seen my brother, Gary Burke.
00:17:09I understand what you're saying, Miss Burke. I don't know what you want me to say.
00:17:15I'm assuming you know him well.
00:17:18Why?
00:17:20Because he's been living with my parents for the past few months.
00:17:24He's been taking care of my dad ever since he got sick.
00:17:27Not as far as I know.
00:17:31Okay, wait.
00:17:34Here.
00:17:41Gary Burke.
00:17:42Oh.
00:17:44Well, he's a nice-looking young man, but...
00:17:47No?
00:17:49He doesn't look familiar.
00:17:51You're telling me you haven't seen him?
00:17:53Around town.
00:17:56With my dad at their house.
00:17:58Miss Burke, until tonight, I didn't know your parents had a son.
00:18:07Okay, then who's been taking care of their place?
00:18:10The Andersons.
00:18:12The Andersons?
00:18:13Eldon and Rita Anderson, this older couple.
00:18:16He had a garage down on Elm.
00:18:18She worked at the Cherry Pit Cafe.
00:18:20Both retired.
00:18:21They do some odd jobs around town.
00:18:23I'd like to talk to them.
00:18:25Yeah, of course.
00:18:26They live on Sycamore.
00:18:27Last house on the left.
00:18:29Uh, but you can't go tonight.
00:18:32They retire early, like most folks around here.
00:18:36All 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 a lot more sense in the daylight.
00:18:47Right.
00:18:58Five hundredths times the charm.
00:19:20Hey, it's Gary.
00:19:21You know what to do.
00:19:28I waste the time.
00:19:29You're the worst.
00:19:30I Mhm.
00:19:44I Tranquil, I can't.
00:19:45No.
00:19:46We're just the best to do it.
00:19:47No, you're the best to do it.
00:19:48I'm not a guru.
00:19:49No, I'm not a guru.
00:19:50No, no.
00:19:51No, no, no.
00:19:52No, no.
00:19:53No, no, no, no.
00:19:54No, no.
00:19:55No, no.
00:19:56Megan, oh, 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, come on, come on.
00:20:36Eldon, Eldon, get out here.
00:20:41Come on in, dear.
00:20:43Oh, hi.
00:20:43Megan.
00:20:44Yes.
00:20:45Nice to see you.
00:20:46Megan, please 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.
00:21:04They were very special people.
00:21:07Oh, thank you so much.
00:21:10So 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, moved to the city years ago, so we all sort of bonded as empty nesters.
00:21:29Oh, well, so it just seemed the neighborly thing to do to keep the place in order until you arrived to lay claim.
00:21:37Oh, well, thank you so much.
00:21:41So you must have been in touch with my brother.
00:21:43I'm sorry.
00:21:44I'm sorry.
00:21:45Uh-huh.
00:21:46I don't believe we knew you had a brother.
00:21:50Uh-huh.
00:21:51I don't believe we knew you had a brother.
00:21:56Um, Gary?
00:21:57My parents, they must have mentioned him?
00:22:03No.
00:22:04I don't believe they did.
00:22:05I'm guessing he moved away years ago?
00:22:06No.
00:22:07No.
00:22:08He, um, he's been staying at the house for the last few months.
00:22:26You must have seen him.
00:22:28You must have seen his things.
00:22:30Uh, you know, I'm sorry.
00:22:35Uh, maybe you're mistaken?
00:22:46My parents, they told you where I've been the last few years.
00:22:53Yeah.
00:22:55They told us.
00:22:57Okay.
00:22:58So you think that I'm completely nuts right now?
00:23:02No.
00:23:03Uh, 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.
00:23:14No.
00:23:15No.
00:23:16No, no, no, no.
00:23:17No.
00:23:18It, it was all here.
00:23:19His clothes, his stuff, it was, it was right here.
00:23:21It was right here.
00:23:22It was right here.
00:23:23It was right here.
00:23:24It was right here.
00:23:25It was right here.
00:23:26It was right here.
00:23:27His books and his money and his...
00:23:28What?
00:23:29Honey, honey, come sit down.
00:23:30Oh, my God.
00:23:31Oh, my God.

00:23:36Okay?
00:23:37Wait, wait, his voicemail.
00:23:38His voicemail.
00:23:39Look, I'll prove it to you.
00:23:40This is his voicemail.
00:23:41We're sorry.
00:23:42You have reached a number that has been disonseted.
00:23:44No!
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:46Uh, maybe we should call the doctor.
00:23:48Oh, my God.
00:23:51lly.
00:23:52I did say...
00:23:56Oh, my God.

00:24:26Yes.
00:24:27I just need you to go.
00:24:28All right.
00:24:37Okay.

00:26:53Never too early in these parts.
00:26:56Plus, I don't judge. I just pour the drinks.
00:26:59What'll it be?
00:27:01I see.
00:27:19I'm the house.
00:27:22Why?
00:27:24Because I didn't get too many pretty non-alcoholic customers in here at 10 a.m.
00:27:34You got a name?
00:27:39Bacon?
00:27:40Duke.
00:27:41Nice to meet you.
00:27:43Pleasure.
00:27:44Pleasure.
00:27:45Is this where you ask what a girl like me is doing in a place like this?
00:27:49Uh-huh.
00:27:50Again.
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.
00:28:10Sure, the clientele's really curious.
00:28:13Mm-hmm.
00:28:15What is it?
00:28:17Victor Hugo.
00:28:20French literature.
00:28:25Completes the ruse.
00:28:27Hey, do you know a guy named Gary Burke?
00:28:36Gary...
00:28:38Burke.
00:28:40Gary Burke.
00:28:42I don't believe I do.
00:28:44At least not by name.
00:28:46Why do you ask? Who's that?
00:28:49My brother.
00:28:50Your brother?
00:28:51Mm-hmm.
00:28:52You like it, Brooke?
00:28:53That's me.
00:28:55Not married.
00:28:58Anyway, sorry, why do you, uh, why do you ask about your, uh, your brother?
00:29:08He lives here in town.
00:29:10Up in the house that's on the hill.
00:29:12You know the one?
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:14Yeah, no, who doesn't know that house?
00:29:17Doesn't even really belong in these parts.
00:29:23Just thought maybe he'd come in here.
00:29:26He knows where to find a good drink.
00:29:30Doesn't really like people.
00:29:33Well, half the town comes in here, and the other half never have, never will.
00:29:43Oh.
00:29:44I suppose that's...
00:29:49Gary?
00:29:50You think I'm completely insane?
00:30:00No.
00:30:02You don't strike me as somebody who's particularly nuts.
00:30:09At least not any more than the rest of us.
00:30:15You don't know me very well.
00:30:16Try me.
00:30:20Try me.
00:30:34Try me.
00:31:04Try me.
00:31:16I've got to be so late.
00:31:18Try me.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:33Okay.
00:31:35Who are you?
00:31:49Who are you?
00:31:50You're magic.
00:31:52It's your true.
00:31:54It's your imagination.
00:31:56You're magic.
00:31:57You're magic.
00:32:05It 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, but that is one of the drawbacks to estate
00:32:29law.
00:32:30Right.
00:32:31I'm a little embarrassed to admit this, but the will, my family's estate, that wasn't
00:32:38something we ever discussed.
00:32:40Well, I'm not surprised.
00:32:41Few families talk about it until, well, they have to.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:46But the good news is that as far as these things go, it is all pretty straightforward.
00:32:52You are the sole beneficiary of the home and property.
00:32:57Sole beneficiary?
00:33:01Uh-huh.
00:33:03I'm not going to lie to you.
00:33:04The paperwork can be a nightmare, especially because, as you're aware, your parents had
00:33:10substantial monies.
00:33:12But don't worry.
00:33:13I will walk you through all of it.
00:33:16And of course, it takes a while for these things to become official, filings and whatnot.
00:33:20But for all intents and purposes, the house is yours.
00:33:24Welcome back to Skillman's Bluff.
00:33:29You're welcome.
00:33:30You're welcome.
00:34:00So she was nothing but helpful?
00:34:05And as nice as could be.
00:34:07Still, I felt there was something, some kind of...
00:34:13Why'd you feel it, chill?
00:34:15Like she was hiding something from me.
00:34:17But she didn't say anything to, I don't know, indicate there were any problems with the
00:34:22estate?
00:34:22No, quite the contrary.
00:34:23No, quite the contrary.
00:34:24She said the chain of ownership was very straightforward, there was some confusing paperwork, but she would help me navigate that.
00:34:31Yeah, well, the more confusing, the 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.
00:34:38But it's weird, but it's weird that you never mentioned your brother.
00:34:45No.
00:34:45And 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, see, I've been thinking about this.
00:35:01No, 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 and your brother have had some sort of, some sort of falling out?
00:35:13Well, did I know that?
00:35:16But even if they had, they wouldn't just cut him out like that.
00:35:20And my dad was a tough guy, that's how he became so successful, but he's not vindictive.
00:35:28Then I'm all out of ideas.
00:35:31I do.
00:35:35So, you're really going to stay here?
00:35:40Why not?
00:35:42Why not? I don't know.
00:35:43It just seems like Skillman's Bluff might be a little, small town for you.
00:35:48You seem like someone who needs a little bit more excitement, sophistication.
00:35:55Really?
00:35:58What about you?
00:36:00This beach town isn't exactly a hotbed of French literature.
00:36:05I've got my own reasons for staying.
00:36:09But you really need to stay.
00:36:10I'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 recapture that.
00:36:31Does that sound crazy?
00:36:34No.
00:36:34That sounds like one of the most sane things I've heard in a long time.
00:36:39Do you know if I was really?
00:36:43You sure it was a rattlesnake?
00:37:10Yes.
00:37:13I don't see anything, Ligon.
00:37:21What?
00:37:22Maybe it got out.
00:37:25You don't see it?
00:37:26You sure?
00:37:27Yes.
00:37:28It was right there in my passenger seat.
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:31Okay.
00:37:32Okay.
00:37:33Okay.
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:35Okay.
00:37:36Okay.
00:37:37Okay.
00:37:38Okay.
00:37:39Okay.
00:37:40Okay.
00:37:41Okay.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:43Okay.
00:37:44Okay.
00:37:45Okay.
00:37:46Okay.
00:37:47Okay.
00:37:48Okay.
00:37:49Okay.
00:37:50Okay.
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:52Okay.
00:37:53Okay.
00:37:54Okay.
00:37:58Okay.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:00Okay.
00:38:01Okay.
00:38:02Okay.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:04Okay.
00:38:05Okay.
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:08Okay.
00:38:09Okay.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:11Okay.
00:38:12Okay.
00:38:13Okay.
00:38:14Okay.
00:38:15Alright.
00:38:16I think you want to see me as two.
00:38:17Okay.
00:38:18Let me...
00:38:19Let me hear a bit more.
00:38:20You know...
00:38:21Yeah.
00:38:22I think we've been called out there on numerous occasions.
00:38:23Anyway, Megan was at the bar with me this morning, when whoever put this snake drove
00:38:37in the car.
00:38:38What is steady?
00:38:39What was it done at 10 in the morning or 10 at night
00:38:40is completely irrelevant.
00:38:42What is relevant is so if someone put a deadly snake
00:38:44in this woman's car.
00:38:46Actually, son, your state of mind at the time
00:38:49is completely relevant.
00:38:53Oh, look, a rattlesnake bite,
00:38:55that's no walk in the park, okay?
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,
00:39:03and it's far from deadly.
00:39:05What difference does that make?
00:39:07Somebody 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.
00:39:17You want to guess
00:39:18how often we're called out to someone's house
00:39:21because a rattlesnake sees the AC dripping underneath a car?
00:39:25All they need is the size of a dime
00:39:27to slither their way inside.
00:39:30Now, doesn't that sound like a more probable way
00:39:33that snake got in the car
00:39:35as opposed to someone put it there?
00:39:40Look,
00:39:41it's not the first time someone was out on a bender
00:39:43Hold on.
00:39:46Nobody was drinking.
00:39:47I told you that.
00:39:48No one was on a bender.
00:39:50Sheriff,
00:39:51somebody is trying to kill me.
00:39:54You know, Megan,
00:39:54I think we're done here.
00:39:55Let's go.
00:39:55I 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?
00:40:01Do you listen to anything anybody says
00:40:04when they walk into your door?
00:40:05Do you sit there with your pump?
00:40:08Let's get out of here.
00:40:12Thanks for nothing.
00:40:12I don't know why you pulled me out of there.
00:40:21I was about to give him a piece of my mind.
00:40:22That's why I pulled you out.
00:40:24Wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference anyhow.
00:40:25You saw how antagonistic he was the second we walked in.
00:40:28Yeah, but why?
00:40:29No, 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,
00:40:39but he wasn't hostile.
00:40:43I don't know.
00:40:46Let's get out of here.
00:40:46I've got this little secret spot.
00:41:05This is unbelievable.
00:41:07Hey, it goes on forever.
00:41:11This 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.
00:41:21Right.
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:23What about you?
00:41:24Seems like a strange place to end up.
00:41:26I mean, unless, of course,
00:41:27you're in it for the literary scene.
00:41:30No, my dad was in the guard, you know.
00:41:32The guard?
00:41:34Coast guard.
00:41:34Yeah, we moved around a lot growing up.
00:41:37Never had a lot of friends,
00:41:38so kind of just always took the books.
00:41:40It must have been hard.
00:41:42Not really.
00:41:42It's all I knew.
00:41:43I suppose it's the same for all military breaths.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:49I suppose.
00:41:51Uh, were you ever...
00:41:53Were you ever married?
00:41:56Getting right to it.
00:41:59No.
00:42:00No, never.
00:42:02Close?
00:42:03Many times.
00:42:04Really?
00:42:05What happened?
00:42:07The usual.
00:42:08You don't want to know.
00:42:16Of course I do.
00:42:20Really?
00:42:22Yeah.
00:42:27I was...
00:42:28I was married.
00:42:33We had a son.
00:42:35Yeah.
00:42:36We were a...
00:42:37perfect little family if there ever was one.
00:42:41We were so happy.
00:42:48Cody is my son.
00:42:50Brian, my husband.
00:42:51He...
00:42:51worked so much.
00:42:53I always gave him such a hard time.
00:42:56Truth was...
00:42:57I was so proud of him.
00:42:59He was so driven.
00:43:05We had a...
00:43:06a rare day off.
00:43:09And we were going up to a...
00:43:12beautiful swimming hole in...
00:43:14Lake Farrington, up in the mountains.
00:43:17It's actually where Brian proposed to me.
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:21I was driving because he had to...
00:43:23catch up on some emails.
00:43:26And I...
00:43:27I took my eyes off the road for a split second.
00:43:37Oh, my God.
00:43:42Yeah.
00:43:45Wow, Megan.
00:43:46I'm so sorry.
00:43:49It wasn't your fault.
00:43:54It was.
00:43:57I've come to terms with that.
00:43:58It absolutely was.
00:44:03It's been...
00:44:04hard to cope with, but...
00:44:07I've been in a treatment facility...
00:44:10for the last few years.
00:44:15Anytime I think I'm getting better...
00:44:17I'm not.
00:44:23You want to see a picture?
00:44:32Let's go.
00:44:33I'm so sorry.
00:44:37It's all.
00:44:41You just talked about...
00:44:43I'm not done.
00:44:46I don't.
00:44:47I don't really.
00:44:54I don't...
00:44:55I don't want to...
00:44:56I don't know.
00:44:57I don't want to...
00:45:28I don't know.
00:45:58I don't know.
00:46:28I 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.
00:47:06Anyone help?
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 gotta 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 gotta 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.
00:48:52I'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.
00:50:26Miss Burke.
00:50:27I don't, I don't know what you think, what you think you remember.
00:50:32But I never said your brother didn't exist.
00:50:36I just said I didn't know.
00:50:38I didn't know your parents had a son.
00:50:40He 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, Miss 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.
00:51:08And all you did was bring me an old yearbook.
00:51:11That shows your brother went to high school here once.
00:51:13I don't have time for my own problems, Miss 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.
00:51:54Miss 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.
00:52:41I promise.
00:52:42I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:43I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:44We'll call her.
00:52:51And I'll call you on the ride home.
00:52:55Um, you so close and...
00:53:00Let me know.
00:53:01Let me know.
00:53:02Can we tell you?
00:53:03Oh, I guess we can't see it.
00:53:05Let me know.
00:53:06Um, Ms. Snow?
00:53:24Yes?
00:53:25My name is Megan Burke.
00:53:26I was hoping that I could speak to you for a moment.
00:53:31Well, um...
00:53:32Come in.
00:53:38Come in.
00:53:50Oh!
00:53:51Oh, 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.
00:53:58You can imagine for almost 40 years,
00:54:00I think I can handle a tray of coffee.
00:54:02Yes, absolutely.
00:54:06And believe me,
00:54:07that wasn't when students were shipped out
00:54:10and sent to Juvenile Hall
00:54:12for just a little horseplay.
00:54:14No.
00:54:15Those students were downright dangerous.
00:54:19Wow.
00:54:21Not my brother, I hope.
00:54:22Hmm?
00:54:23Who was your brother?
00:54:24Gary Burke.
00:54:26Oh!
00:54:26You know him?
00:54:31Of course I know him.
00:54:33Oh, from high school?
00:54:35No.
00:54:37Well, maybe.
00:54:38I mean, I might have had him in one of my classes,
00:54:41but no, I meant now.
00:54:42Uh, in town.
00:54:44I haven't seen him in a little while.
00:54:47Is everything okay?
00:54:49When you say lately,
00:54:51you've seen him recently.
00:54:52How recent?
00:54:53Oh, a few days now.
00:54:56You saw my brother a few days ago?
00:54:58About that.
00:54:58Yeah.
00:55:00I see him every day
00:55:01when he goes over to, um...
00:55:05My dear,
00:55:06maybe you should explain some of this to me.
00:55:09Well, um, thank you.
00:55:10Miss Snow.
00:55:12Oh, thank you for taking your time
00:55:13to speak with me
00:55:14and, um,
00:55:16for the coffee.
00:55:27Oh.
00:55:30I wonder if she left something.
00:55:39Did you forget something?
00:55:40She 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.
00:56:08As in a few days ago.
00:56:09A few days ago.
00:56:12What the hell's going on?
00:56:13I have no idea.
00:56:15But something's going on,
00:56:16and I don't know who's in on it
00:56:18or why,
00:56:19but something is happening.
00:56:20I'm gonna go to the sheriff
00:56:21and I'm gonna tell him
00:56:22that someone from town
00:56:23knows my brother, Gary.
00:56:24Mm-mm, no, I wouldn't...
00:56:25I wouldn't do that, Megan.
00:56:27Why?
00:56:28Because we don't know
00:56:29what his game is.
00:56:30Look, I agree with you.
00:56:31There's something totally shady
00:56:31about that guy.
00:56:32I just don't think
00:56:33that we should let him know
00:56:34that we know
00:56:35that he's lying.
00:56:37I don't think that we should
00:56:37tip our hand
00:56:38just to prove that.
00:56:40Oh.
00:56:42You might be right.
00:56:44Of course I'm right.
00:56:48Okay.
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:51So what now?
00:56:52Look, I'm almost done here.
00:56:54Why don't you go home?
00:56:55Mm-hmm.
00:56:56Try to calm down.
00:56:57And then after I'm done,
00:56:58I'll come by,
00:56:58and then we can talk
00:56:59about what to do next.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:04Okay.
00:57:05I'm just gonna come see you.
00:57:33I'll imagine that.
00:57:37What's wrong?
00:57:41Ellen Snow was just murdered.
00:57:46What?
00:57:51I just want to make sure
00:57:52you understand.
00:57:53You can call a lawyer
00:57:54anytime you want.
00:57:54Am I under arrest?
00:58:00Uh,
00:58:02no, we're just,
00:58:03we're just talking.
00:58:05Then I don't need a lawyer.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:09Tell me what happened.
00:58:10Well,
00:58:15Miss Snow,
00:58:15she has a neighbor,
00:58:18Miss Hawkins,
00:58:18and she saw a young woman
00:58:19running out of her house.
00:58:22She thought that was a bit peculiar
00:58:23because Miss Snow
00:58:24doesn't get a lot of visitors.
00:58:27So she wrote down
00:58:28the license plate of that car.
00:58:29then
00:58:31Miss Hawkins went over there
00:58:35to check on Ellen Snow.
00:58:37Make sure she's okay.
00:58:40It's the neighborly thing to do.
00:58:45She got there
00:58:46and the door was open.
00:58:49She called out to her,
00:58:50but nobody responded.
00:58:51So she let herself in.
00:58:53And she found Ellen Snow
00:58:56laying on the living room floor.
00:59:01Dead.
00:59:07How?
00:59:10Well,
00:59:11the initial reports
00:59:12suggest suffocation.
00:59:14But we'll know more
00:59:15when the autopsy comes back.
00:59:21That's awful.
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:28You want to take a guess
00:59:29who that car is registered to?
00:59:31God, the crap, Sheriff.
00:59:34We both know
00:59:35that I went to visit Miss Snow today.
00:59:37I was probably also
00:59:38the last person to see her alive
00:59:40besides the killer.
00:59:42Besides the killer.
00:59:44I've got nothing to hide.
00:59:46I'm obviously being framed.
00:59:49Or someone was trying to shut her up.
00:59:51Shut her up?
00:59:53Yeah.
00:59:54Miss Snow is a 76-year-old
00:59:55English teacher.
00:59:56Why would anyone
00:59:57want to shut her up?
00:59:58Because she knew
00:59:59my brother.
01:00:01She just saw him
01:00:03a few days ago.
01:00:04Miss Burke,
01:00:05what were you doing
01:00:06in Ellen Snow's home?
01:00:07I went there
01:00:08to talk to her
01:00:08about Gary.
01:00:09Why do you think
01:00:10she would know anything?
01:00:11Because she was a teacher
01:00:12in his high school.
01:00:13She still lives here in town.
01:00:15So tell me again
01:00:19everything she told you.
01:00:27She said she knew him.
01:00:31John Cavanaugh,
01:00:32was he with you?
01:00:33Who?
01:00:35No, you don't know
01:00:35his real name, do you?
01:00:36Your friend
01:00:37calls himself Duke.
01:00:38was he there?
01:00:43No.
01:00:46Why?
01:00:48Miss Burke,
01:00:49how well do you know
01:00:50John Cavanaugh?
01:00:52This,
01:00:53this Duke gentleman?
01:00:57Well enough.
01:00:58Miss Burke,
01:01:07you're not leaving
01:01:08Miss Gilman's bluff
01:01:08anytime soon, are you?
01:01:10You know I'm not.
01:01:13Well, that's good.
01:01:16It's,
01:01:17it's real good.
01:01:26You're free to leave.
01:01:28You're free to leave.
01:01:58Hey Megan, it's Duke.
01:02:15I've been calling you
01:02:16but couldn't reach you.
01:02:19I've been stopped by your house
01:02:20but you weren't there.
01:02:21so, uh,
01:02:23just
01:02:23call me.
01:02:26Hope everything's okay.
01:02:27Okay.
01:02:27Okay.
01:02:27huh, huh, huh.
01:02:28Oh, my God.
01:02:56Everything okay?
01:02:58What's wrong?
01:03:02What's your name?
01:03:06Your real name.
01:03:08You don't like Duke?
01:03:10I'm being serious.
01:03:12John?
01:03:14John Cavanaugh?
01:03:16I'll tell you my middle name, too, but it's a little embarrassing.
01:03:28Okay, just hear me out.
01:03:32I know this is gonna sound so crazy.
01:03:34Go on.
01:03:36I spent the day with Sheriff Brunson being interrogated.
01:03:42I'm sorry, what?
01:03:44Let's know.
01:03:46She was killed right after I left her.
01:03:50What are you talking about? What? I don't understand.
01:03:54I don't either.
01:03:56But he hinted that he thinks that I had something to do with it.
01:04:00But he didn't arrest you?
01:04:02No, because he has no evidence.
01:04:04And because...
01:04:08You're gonna think I'm crazy.
01:04:10To tell you the truth, I'm starting to think this whole thing is pretty crazy.
01:04:14Please...
01:04:16Please tell me that I'm lying.
01:04:18Megan, come on. What is going on?
01:04:20I think that Sheriff Brunson killed my brother.
01:04:25Killed your brother?
01:04:27Yes.
01:04:29Him and the Andersons and maybe even the lawyer, Nancy. Nancy Allendale.
01:04:35Okay, that... Come on. You gotta admit, that sounds kind of far-fetched, don't you think?
01:04:39Yes, I do. Absolutely.
01:04:41But it's the only logical explanation here.
01:04:45How else can you explain all of this?
01:04:47You know that I have a brother.
01:04:49You saw the yearbook. Miss... Miss Snow said she saw him just a few days ago.
01:04:55Duke.
01:04:57Yeah, I know, I know, I know. I'm just thinking.
01:05:01Mrs. Snow... Why would they kill her?
01:05:04Because she talked to me.
01:05:07Because she knew too much. Because she wouldn't play ball.
01:05:10She wouldn't go along with it.
01:05:12Oh, come on. Would they really kill her?
01:05:14If they would kill my brother, why not?
01:05:16Okay, if that's true, then 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?
01:05:34Because a single male disappearing, that's not too unusual.
01:05:39It's very easily explained away, no one would really think anything about it.
01:05:42But a little old lady who never leaves her house, that's cause for suspicion.
01:05:46It's much easier to murder her and pin it on someone with a motive.
01:05:51The big question though, why? Why you?
01:05:55The oldest motive in the world.
01:05:58Sex?
01:06:01Money.
01:06:03How?
01:06:08The parents, they had a lot of it.
01:06:12So much so that I was actually quite self-conscious about it growing up.
01:06:16Do you have any idea what the house is worth?
01:06:21Or the estate for that matter?
01:06:24Quite a bit I can imagine.
01:06:27There's no other family.
01:06:30With Gary gone, the entire estate goes to me.
01:06:34So what do you say now? You think they're gonna come and kill you too?
01:06:37No, I don't think that. I think that would be...
01:06:40That would be too suspicious.
01:06:43What are you saying?
01:06:44I think they're gonna try to have me recommit it. Against my will.
01:06:49You know, it's getting late. I think I should probably get going. I gotta open in the morning.
01:07:04Right.
01:07:06You don't want to spend the night with a nutcase either.
01:07:09Megan, stop doing that.
01:07:13Stay.
01:07:15Hello?
01:07:37Hello?
01:07:38You're not.
01:07:39I am trying to
01:07:56I don't know.
01:08:26I don't know.
01:08:56I don't know.
01:08:58I don't know.
01:09:00I don't know.
01:09:02I don't know.
01:09:04Oh, Duke.
01:09:05What are you doing?
01:09:07Me?
01:09:08What are you doing?
01:09:09I hear...
01:09:10I heard a noise.
01:09:11It woke me up.
01:09:12It's...
01:09:13It makes you know it was in the house.
01:09:15Okay.
01:09:16The end?
01:09:17No.
01:09:18Okay.
01:09:19It's all right to bed.
01:09:20Okay.
01:09:21Okay.
01:09:22It's all right to bed.
01:09:23Okay.
01:09:24Okay.
01:09:25Okay.
01:09:26Okay.
01:09:27Okay.
01:09:32Okay.
01:10:04Not open yet, sweetheart.
01:10:23Oh, uh, I'm just, uh, looking for... Is 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.
01:10:34I'm sorry, is he here? It's important.
01:10:40No, he's not here.
01:10:41But if you do find him before I do, you can tell him he's fired.
01:10:45Pardon me?
01:10:47He was supposed to be here at eight.
01:10:48We had a big delivery coming down from the distributor.
01:10:51Most of our weekend stock, he was supposed to be here to accept it.
01:10:56You 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 by a pissed-off delivery man because he has a full run today.
01:11:07Let me tell you, he better not have gotten cold feet, little weasel.
01:11:11Cold feet?
01:11:13For what?
01:11:14How good of friends were you?
01:11:15Duke 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.
01:11:27Is this recently?
01:11:29We've been talking about it forever.
01:11:30Saving for a while.
01:11:32Problem was, he was never able to secure the loan.
01:11:35He promised he was getting the money together.
01:11:38But he always seemed kind of flaky.
01:11:43Do you know where his house is?
01:11:45His house?
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, pull out your phone.
01:11:57You want to GPS it.
01:11:58It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:05It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:06It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:07It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:08It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:09It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:10It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:11It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:12It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:13It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:14It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:15It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:16It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:17It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:18It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:19It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:20It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:21It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:22It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:23It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:25It's a little off the beaten path.
01:12:26Duke!
01:12:54Duke!
01:12:55Duke!
01:12:56Duke!
01:12:57I need to talk to you!
01:13:02Duke?
01:13:15Duke?
01:13:20Duke?
01:13:21Duke?
01:13:22Duke?
01:13:23Duke?
01:13:24Duke?
01:13:25I don't know.
01:13:55Do you know a guy named Gary Burke?
01:14:22My brother.
01:14:23He lives here in town, up in the house that's on the hill.
01:14:27Yeah.
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:29No, who doesn't know that house?
01:14:31Do you have any idea what the house is worth?
01:14:33Quite a bit I can imagine.
01:14:36How good friends were you?
01:14:41Duke was planning to buy this place from me.
01:14:43He was never able to secure the loan.
01:14:46They always seem kind of flaky.
01:14:48Well, you don't know his real name, do you?
01:14:50Your friend calls himself Duke.
01:14:51I've got my own reasons for staying.
01:14:52My own reasons for staying.
01:14:53My own reasons for staying.
01:14:54Oh my God.
01:14:58Oh no, come on.
01:15:09Ah!
01:15:12Oh 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 officers on the way.
01:15:44Megan?
01:15:49Megan? What the hell?
01:15:55Get away from me.
01:15:58What the hell's the matter with you?
01:16:00It was you.
01:16:01What are you talking about? What was me?
01:16:03You killed him. It was you the whole time.
01:16:07Who did I kill?
01:16:08You killed Gary, my brother.
01:16:11Megan?
01:16:13You're not well.
01:16:15Back up.
01:16:17Back up, you son of a bitch.
01:16:21Put that down. I've been trying to help you.
01:16:23You're gonna help me, you lying murderous bastard. Back up!
01:16:29I had nothing to do with your brother's disappearance.
01:16:35Then explain that!
01:16:37Explain what?
01:16:38Go look!
01:16:39Go look!
01:17:00Megan?
01:17:01You can't leave.
01:17:02I have nothing to do with you.
01:17:03Stop lying.
01:17:04It's right in front of you.
01:17:05In your computer I saw what you were searching for.
01:17:07Megan.
01:17:08I can see how that looks.
01:17:09You have to believe me.
01:17:10I had to make sure.
01:17:11Sure what?
01:17:12You said it yourself.
01:17:13It all sounded a little crazy.
01:17:14I had to make sure.
01:17:15I like you.
01:17:16A lot.
01:17:17I had to find out what you were searching for.
01:17:18Megan.
01:17:19I can see how that looks.
01:17:20You have to believe me.
01:17:21I had to make sure.
01:17:22Sure what?
01:17:23You said it yourself.
01:17:24It all sounded a little crazy.
01:17:25I had to make sure.
01:17:26I like you.
01:17:27A lot.
01:17:28I had to find out about you.
01:17:42Brother.
01:17:47My brother.
01:17:56Tell them to the cops.
01:17:59It was Duke.
01:18:00He killed Gary.
01:18:01He killed him.
01:18:05That is not true.
01:18:09He's lying.
01:18:10I saw his body.
01:18:14You know what, Duke?
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.
01:18:46The 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.
01:18:57They 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!
01:19:05Oh, how the hell would you know?
01:19:08You weren't here.
01:19:09On this little windfall of cash, it's gonna go a long ways to handling my financial problems.
01:19:13What are you gonna do?
01:19:14Kill me?
01:19:18Unless you 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!
01:19:34Someone's gonna talk.
01:19:38Someone's gonna talk.
01:19:39Someone's gonna 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 gonna be talking anytime soon.
01:20:03What are you thinking?
01:20:05You're not gonna 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 corroborated, right?
01:20:19She meets an eager young suitor.
01:20:21They find out about the money and decide to keep it for themselves.
01:20:25So they kill Gary.
01:20:27And they wouldn't live happily ever after except for, oh, something goes wrong.
01:20:31It always does.
01:20:32And the sheriff shows up.
01:20:34Huh.
01:20:36That's me.
01:20:40After all, Megan, she called us.
01:20:41Right?
01:20:42And then we find out that Duke didn't only kill the brother.
01:20:47Well, he killed Megan, too.
01:20:50But luckily, the strong arm of the law shows up to put him down.
01:20:55Stop!
01:20:55Ah!
01:21:00Get the guards!
01:21:01Back up!
01:21:13Take it easy, sweetheart.
01:21:15You've never shot a gun before in your life.
01:21:19You're not gonna shoot.
01:21:20How bad is it?
01:21:49I'll live.
01:21:53I'm so sorry.
01:21:56I know.
01:22:01So this alone, you maybe want another investor?
01:22:10Of course, you're gonna need some serious rehab.
01:22:13I'm a fairly attentive nurse.
01:22:14Oh, 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.
01:22:36Okay.
01:22:37You know some place.
01:22:43Oh, yeah.
01:22:47I can't live.
01:22:51I'm a rather a hustler.
01:22:53I'm so sorry.
01:23:02Friday, I'm back.
01:23:03You
