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.
00:06:41Bye.
00:06:42Bye.

00:07:28Damn it, Gary.
00:07:36Please don't you need everything, sis.
00:07:52Hey, it's Gary. You know what to do.
00:08:07Hey, I'm in. No thanks to you.
00:08:09The key isn't where it usually is,
00:08:11and luckily nobody ever fixed the back door,
00:08:14so you definitely owe me. Jerk.
00:08:17Where are you? Call me back.
00:08:21Come on, Gary.
00:08:22Come on, Gary.
00:08:23Come on, Gary.
00:08:24Come on, Gary.
00:08:25I just eat your dinner.
00:08:27I didn't kick her.
00:08:28Yes, you did.
00:08:29No, I didn't.
00:08:30Yes, you did.
00:08:31No, I didn't.
00:08:32Yes, you did.
00:08:33No, I didn't.
00:08:34No, I didn't.
00:08:35No, I didn't.
00:08:36No, I didn't.
00:08:37No, I didn't.
00:08:38No, I didn't.
00:08:39No, I didn't.
00:08:40No, I didn't.
00:08:41No, I didn't.
00:08:42Yes, you did.
00:08:43No, I didn't.
00:08:44No, I didn't.
00:08:45No, I didn't.
00:08:46No, I didn't.
00:08:47No, I didn't.
00:08:48No, I didn't.
00:08:49No, I didn't.
00:08:50No.
00:08:51That thing's not staying in the house.
00:08:55It was passed down to me from my dad.
00:08:57It has to stay in it.
00:08:58Well, you can keep it in the attic.
00:09:00That's no place for Beethoven.
00:09:01How can you possibly put Beethoven in the attic?
00:09:04In the attic.
00:09:05Julia!
00:09:21I don't know.
00:09:51I don't know.
00:10:06Gary, working at the pit tonight.
00:10:07Come by later for coffee.
00:10:09And then maybe my place after my shift?
00:10:13Lisa.
00:10:16Way to go, Gary.
00:10:21Way to go.
00:10:51Oh, my God.
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.
00:11:52I just took a nap.
00:11:53I'm going to unpack.
00:11:55Give me a call or hopefully I'll just see you soon.
00:11:58I'm going to unpack.
00:11:59I'm going to unpack.
00:12:00I'll unpack.
00:12:01I'll unpack.
00:12:02Okay.
00:12:03I'll unpack.
00:12:04I'll unpack.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06Bye, bye.
00:12:08Goodbye.
00:12:08Hey, it's Gary. You know what to do.
00:12:32Hey, all right. Enough already. You've taken it far enough.
00:12:35Where are you? Just call me back. Where else?
00:12:44Gary, working at the pit tonight. Come by later for coffee.
00:12:48Lisa.
00:13:05Just have a seat anyway.
00:13:19Okay.
00:13:24Hi.
00:13:26I'll just be right with you.
00:13:28You 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.
00:13:44I 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?
00:14:07Well, I assumed you were seeing each other?
00:14:14Unless this Gary also goes by Jimmy and 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.
00:14:28All right.
00:14:28Oh, my God.
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.
00:15:07Yeah, 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.
00:15:28Okay.
00:15:30Just, uh, open that door.
00:15:37Sorry to bother you so late.
00:15:39Well, no problem.
00:15:40Megan Burke.
00:15:41Megan Burke?
00:15:42Ah, Sidney and Gladys' daughter.
00:15:45Yeah, that's right.
00:15:47Oh.
00:15:47Well, it's a damn shame about your folks, you know, going so close together.
00:15:53But with all due respect, you know, sometimes that's for the best.
00:15:57A couple like that, they don't want to live without each other.
00:15:59Right.
00:16:01You knew my parents well, Sheriff?
00:16:04Brunson.
00:16:05Sheriff Brunson.
00:16:07And yeah, yeah, of course.
00:16:09They kept to themselves quite a bit, as you know, but 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, and 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, not if you're concerned.
00:16:33Now, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about a missing person until 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.
00:16:49Do you have a picture?
00:16:52I'm sorry, what?
00:16:55A picture?
00:16:56Do you have a picture?
00:16:56I'm more than happy to look at it.
00:16:57I'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.
00:17:09I understand what you're saying, Miss Burke.
00:17:11I don't know what you want me to say.
00:17:16I'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.
00:17:36Carrie Burke.
00:17:43Oh.
00:17:45Well, he's a nice-looking young man, but...
00:17:48No?
00:17:49He doesn't look familiar.
00:17:52You're telling me you haven't seen him around 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.
00:18:16This is 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, like 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 a lot more sense in the daylight.
00:18:47Right.
00:18:48Five hundredths times a turn.
00:19:18Hey, it's Gary.
00:19:22You know what to do.
00:19:44Here's to Sanity.
00:19:45Here's to Sanity.
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, but 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.
00:20:33So, come on.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:35Yeah.
00:20:35Come on.
00:20:36Come on.
00:20:36Elden.
00:20:37Elden.
00:20:38Get out here.
00:20:39Come on in, dear.
00:20:40Okay.
00:20:41Oh, hi.
00:20:42Megan.
00:20:43Yes.
00:20:44Nice to see you.
00:20:45Nice to see you.
00:20:46Please have a seat.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48So, how about some coffee or tea maybe?
00:20:52I mean, we have all sorts of flavors.
00:20:54I'm okay.
00:20:56All right.
00:20:57First, let me just tell you how sorry we are.
00:21:04They were very special people.
00:21:07Oh, thank you so much.
00:21:09Um, 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.
00:21:20You know, our kids are long gone.
00:21:22Uh, moved to the city years ago.
00:21:25So, we all sort of bonded as empty nesters.
00:21:29Oh, wow.
00:21:30So, it just seemed the neighborly thing to do to keep the place.
00:21:34in order until you arrived to lay claim.
00:21:38Huh?
00:21:39Um, so you must have been in touch with my brother.
00:21:43Uh, I'm sorry, your brother?
00:21:49Uh-huh.
00:21:53I don't believe we knew you had a brother.
00:21:58Um, Gary?
00:22:05My parents, they must have mentioned him?
00:22:09Um, no.
00:22:11I-I don't believe they did.
00:22:14Uh, I-I'm guessing he moved away years ago?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19No.
00:22:20No.
00:22:21He, um, he's been staying at the house for the last few months.
00:22:26You-you must have seen him.
00:22:27You must have seen his things.
00:22:29Uh, you know, I-I'm sorry.
00:22:32Uh...
00:22:33Uh...
00:22:34Maybe you're...
00:22:35Uh...
00:22:36Maybe you're...
00:22:37mistaken?
00:22:46My parents, they...
00:22:48told you where I've been the last few years.
00:22:50Uh...
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:52Uh, they told us.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:56So you think that I'm completely nuts right now?
00:23:01No.
00:23:02Uh, no, I just think you might be confused.
00:23:08I'm not-I'm not confused.
00:23:10I am not confused.
00:23:11Let me show you.
00:23:20No.
00:23:21No, no, no.
00:23:22No.
00:23:23No.
00:23:24No.
00:23:25No.
00:23:26No.
00:23:27No.
00:23:28No.
00:23:29No.
00:23:30No.
00:23:31It-it was all here.
00:23:32His clothes.
00:23:33His stuff.
00:23:34It was-it was right here.
00:23:35It was right here.
00:23:36It was right here.
00:23:37His books.
00:23:38And his-his money.
00:23:39And his...
00:23:40What?
00:23:41Honey.
00:23:42Honey, come sit down.
00:23:44Oh, my God.
00:23:47Oh, my God.
00:23:48Now, let's just try to figure this thing out.
00:23:51Okay?
00:23:52Wait.
00:23:53Wait, his voicemail.
00:23:54His voicemail.
00:23:55Look, I'll prove it to you.
00:23:56This is his voicemail.
00:23:58We're sorry.
00:24:00You have reached a number that has been disconnected.
00:24:04No!
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:07Uh, maybe we should call the doctor.
00:24:10I can't-
00:24:12No.
00:24:13No, just-I just-I just need-
00:24:18Yes, please, please.
00:24:19No.
00:24:20I just need you to go.
00:24:22No.
00:24:23Are you sure?
00:24:24Yes.
00:24:25I just need you to go.
00:24:26All right.
00:24:27Okay.
00:24:28Okay.

00:25:10Okay.
00:25:11Hello?
00:25:28Hello ma'am, this is James with Harper Cruise Lines.
00:25:58I've selected you on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Caribbean.
00:26:28I hope it's not too early for a drink.
00:26:35Never too early on these points.
00:26:42Plus I don't judge, I just pour the drinks.
00:26:45What'll it be?
00:26:46I see.
00:26:47I see.
00:26:48I hope it's not too early for a drink.
00:26:51Never too early on these points.
00:26:55Plus I don't judge, I just pour the drinks.
00:26:58What'll it be?
00:26:59I see.
00:27:00I'm the house.
00:27:06Why?
00:27:07Because.
00:27:08I don't get too many pretty non-alcoholic customers in here at 10am.
00:27:15You got a name?
00:27:16Megan?
00:27:17Duke.
00:27:18Nice to meet you.
00:27:19Pleasure.
00:27:20Is this where you ask what a girl like me is doing in a place like this?
00:27:24Uh-uh.
00:27:25Again.
00:27:26I just pour the drinks.
00:27:27I just pour the drinks.
00:27:28...
00:27:36...
00:27:52I just pour the drinks.
00:27:53...
00:27:57What are you reading?
00:28:04Just a prop.
00:28:06Makes the clientele think I'm a lot smarter than I actually am.
00:28:12Sure, the clientele's really curious.
00:28:14Mm-hmm.
00:28:15What is it?
00:28:19Victor Hugo.
00:28:23French literature.
00:28:25Completes the ruse.
00:28:27Hey, do you know a guy named Gary Burke?
00:28:37Gary...
00:28:38Burke.
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? Who's that?
00:28:50My brother.
00:28:51Your brother?
00:28:52Mm-hmm.
00:28:54Megan Burke.
00:28:55That's me.
00:28:56I'm not married.
00:29:03Anyway, sorry.
00:29:04Why do you, uh...
00:29:05Why do you ask about your, uh...
00:29:07Your 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?
00:29:18It doesn't even really belong in these parts.
00:29:20I just thought maybe he'd come in here.
00:29:27He knows where to find a good drink.
00:29:30He doesn't really like people.
00:29:34Well, half the town comes in here, and the other half never have, never will.
00:29:41Oh, I suppose that's...
00:29:48Gary?
00:29:50Gary?
00:29:50You just think I'm completely insane.
00:30:12No.
00:30:15No.
00:30:18I mean, you don't strike me as...
00:30:21Somebody who's particularly nuts.
00:30:26At least not any more than the rest of us.
00:30:30You don't know me very well.
00:30:31Try me.
00:31:01Come on.
00:31:16There's gotta be something.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:32Okay.
00:31:33Okay.
00:31:47Okay.
00:31:49You're magic.
00:31:51It's your...
00:31:53It's your imagination.
00:31:55You're magic.
00:31:57It is so nice to finally meet you, Megan.
00:32:18I got to know your parents quite well.
00:32:22I just wish it was under different circumstances, but...
00:32:26That is one of the drawbacks to estate law.
00:32:29Right.
00:32:31I'm a little embarrassed to admit this,
00:32:33but the will, my family's estate,
00:32:36that wasn't something we ever discussed.
00:32:39Well, I'm not surprised.
00:32:40Few families talk about it until they have to.
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:45But the good news is that as far as these things go,
00:32:49it is all pretty straightforward.
00:32:51You are the sole beneficiary of the home and property.
00:32:55Sole beneficiary?
00:33:00Uh-huh.
00:33:02I'm not gonna lie to you.
00:33:03The paperwork can be a nightmare.
00:33:05Especially because, as you're aware, your parents had substantial monies.
00:33:10But don't worry.
00:33:12I will walk you through all of it.
00:33:15And, of course, it takes a while for these things to become official.
00:33:18Wilings and whatnot.
00:33:19But for all intents and purposes, the house is yours.
00:33:23Welcome back to Skillman's Bluff.
00:33:29You're welcome.
00:33:31You're welcome.
00:33:34So she was nothing but helpful?
00:34:04And 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 estate?
00:34:23No, quite the contrary.
00:34:24She said the chain of ownership was very straightforward.
00:34:27There 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.
00:34:39Right.
00:34:41But it's weird she never mentioned your brother.
00:34:45No.
00:34:45And you didn't think to bring it up?
00:34:50I did think about it.
00:34:52But she had ample opportunity to mention him.
00:34:55She never did.
00:34:56Yeah, I see.
00:34:59I'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 had some sort of...
00:35:10Some sort of falling out?
00:35:13Well, that's what I know of.
00:35:16But even if they had, they wouldn't just cut him out like that.
00:35:22My dad was a tough guy.
00:35:23That's how he became so successful.
00:35:25But he's not vindictive.
00:35:28Then I'm all out of ideas.
00:35:29So, you're really going to stay here?
00:35:40Why not?
00:35:42Why not?
00:35:43I don't know.
00:35:43It 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 excitement, sophistication.
00:35:55Really?
00:35:56Well, what 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're really going 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?
00:36:34No.
00:36:35Mm-mm.
00:36:36That sounds like one of the most sane things I've heard in a long time.
00:36:39Come on.
00:36:40I feel it.
00:36:40No.
00:36:41Let's do it.
00:36:41We to the families.
00:36:42Vuos,
00:36:55we are back in the background.
00:36:55No!
00:36:55You sure it was a rattlesnake?
00:37:10Yes.
00:37:13I'm the passengers.
00:37:19I don't see anything, Ligon.
00:37:22What?
00:37:24Maybe it got out.
00:37:25You don't see it?
00:37:30You sure?
00:37:31Yes, it was right there at my passenger seat.
00:37:33Okay.
00:37:33Someone tried to kill me.
00:37:43Someone tried to kill me.
00:37:50Excuse me.
00:37:52Someone put a snake inside of my car.
00:37:55Who's this?
00:38:08It's Duke.
00:38:09Duke?
00:38:11Yeah, Duke.
00:38:12I'm the bartender over at Hubbard's.
00:38:14Oh, Hubbard's.
00:38:14Yeah, I think we've been called out there on numerous occasions.
00:38:18Anyway, Megan was at the bar with me this morning when whoever put this snake in the car...
00:38:24What?
00:38:24I'm sorry.
00:38:24What time was that?
00:38:25Just a little bit ago.
00:38:27I don't know.
00:38:2710, 10.30.
00:38:28All right, 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.
00:38:37Go ahead.
00:38:38What we were doing at 10 in the morning or 10 at night is completely irrelevant.
00:38:42What is relevant is that somebody put a deadly snake in this woman's car.
00:38:46Actually, son, your state of mind at the time is completely relevant.
00:38:53Oh, look, a rattlesnake bite, that's no walk in the park, okay?
00:38:56I'll give that to you.
00:38:58But we got a handful of hikers that get tagged on the ankle every summer.
00:39:01Now, we get them to the hospital in time, and 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.
00:39:16You want to guess how often we're called out to someone's house
00:39:21because a rattlesnake sees the AC dripping underneath a car?
00:39:24All they need is the size of a dime to slither their way inside.
00:39:30Now, doesn't that sound like a more probable way that snake got in the car
00:39:35as opposed to someone put it there?
00:39:40Look, it's not the first time someone was out on a bender and...
00:39:44Hold on.
00:39:44Nobody 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, and 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 when they walk into your door?
00:40:05Do you sit there with your pump?
00:40:06Let's get out of here.
00:40:12Thanks for nothing.
00:40:19I 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?
00:40:31I 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.
00:40:56Got this little secret spot.
00:41:05This is unbelievable.
00:41:07Hey, it goes on forever.
00:41:09This 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, you'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, so...
00:41:38You 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.
00:41:45I suppose it's the same for all military brass.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:47I suppose.
00:41:51Were you ever...
00:41:53Were you ever married?
00:41:56I'm getting right to it.
00:41:59No.
00:42:00No.
00:42:00Never.
00:42:02Close?
00:42:03Many times.
00:42:04Really?
00:42:05Really?
00:42:05What happened?
00:42:07The usual.
00:42:08Okay.
00:42:10The usual.
00:42:11What about you?
00:42:15You don't want to know.
00:42:16Of course I do.
00:42:20Really?
00:42:22Yeah.
00:42:22I was.
00:42:30I was married.
00:42:32We had a son.
00:42:35Yeah.
00:42:36We were a perfect little family if there ever was one.
00:42:42We're so happy.
00:42:42Cody is my son.
00:42:50Brian, my husband.
00:42:51He worked so much.
00:42:53I always gave him such a hard time.
00:42:56Truth was, I was so proud of him.
00:42:59He was so driven.
00:43:00And we had a rare day off.
00:43:10And we were going up to a beautiful swimming hole in Lake 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 catch 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.
00:43:51It wasn't your fault.
00:43:54It was.
00:43:57I've come to terms with that.
00:43:58It absolutely was.
00:44:02It's been...
00:44:04hard to cope with.
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...
00:44:18I'm not.
00:44:23You want to see a picture?
00:44:24Sure.
00:44:27I don't know.
00:44:32It's coming.
00:44:33It's coming.
00:44:33It's coming.
00:44:36It's coming.
00:44:41To be continued...
00:45:11Right along the beach line.
00:45:13And that's it.
00:45:15That's what you've got.
00:45:41I don't know.
00:46:11Okay, Duke, tell me, where are we going?
00:46:29I 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.
00:46:40What are we doing at the high school, Duke?
00:46:55Getting proof.
00:46:56Please tell me you at least knew the night janitor.
00:46:59Come on.
00:47:06Anyone else?
00:47:10Who wants to know who's the bartender?
00:47:15What?
00:47:18Oh, God.
00:47:20Oh, God.
00:47:21Come on.
00:47:22What are we doing?
00:47:27You'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.
00:47:36In the daytime.
00:47:37There.
00:47:38The library?
00:47:42Bingo.
00:47:43What are we doing?
00:47:52The yearbook.
00:47:53Give me that.
00:47:54Give it to me.
00:47:55What are you looking for?
00:47:56Where is it?
00:47:57Where is it?
00:47:58I think it's going to be around here somewhere.
00:48:00Oh, the yearbook.
00:48:01I found him.
00:48:02Are you here?
00:48:03Are you sure you're here?
00:48:04Come on, come on.
00:48:05Yes, yes.
00:48:06Hold this.
00:48:07He has to be in here.
00:48:08Gary.
00:48:09Gary.
00:48:10I'm not crazy.
00:48:12I never thought you were.
00:48:13That makes one of us.
00:48:14I never thought you were.
00:48:15That makes one of us.
00:48:16I never thought you were.
00:48:17That makes one of us.
00:48:48Well.
00:48:49I've never kissed a criminal before.
00:48:50Just a little B and E. It's nothing.
00:48:55I'd like you to come to me.
00:48:56I've never kissed a criminal before.
00:49:11Just a little B and E. It's nothing.
00:49:13I'd like you to come in.
00:49:18I really would.
00:49:20But.
00:49:21But.
00:49:22But.
00:49:36Go.
00:49:37Get out of here.
00:49:38Okay.
00:49:44What's this?
00:49:59This.
00:50:00Is proof.
00:50:04Proof of what?
00:50:11Right there.
00:50:12Gary Burke.
00:50:21Right.
00:50:26Miss Burke, I don't know 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 him.
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. He lived with my parents.
00:50:46Not since I've been sheriff.
00:50:49I'm sorry. You 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.
00:51:01But I'm gonna be honest.
00:51:02I'm getting real sick and tired of your outbursts.
00:51:05I mean, you come charging in here
00:51:06with all these outlandish claims,
00:51:08and all you did was bring me an old yearbook
00:51:10that shows your brother went to high school here once.
00:51:15I don't have time for my own problems, Miss Burke,
00:51:17let alone your manufactured ones.
00:51:25You're gonna be sorry.
00:51:26So what is it exactly that you're doing?
00:51:40I'm trying to see if any of Gary's high school teachers
00:51:42still live here in town.
00:51:43And if they do, I'm gonna go have a chat with him.
00:51:46Because whatever the sheriff is up to,
00:51:47not everybody can be in on it.
00:51:49And it says in the directory here
00:51:59that she still lives at the same address.
00:52:07Okay, maybe you want to give her a call first
00:52:08to make sure she's at least gonna be home?
00:52:11No, definitely not.
00:52:13I-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, not scare her.
00:52:25Are you afraid I'm gonna terrify this little old lady?
00:52:28No, I just think that I'll probably, you know,
00:52:30get more out of her woman to woman.
00:52:34Okay.
00:52:36But you let me know exactly what happens
00:52:38as soon as you meet with her.
00:52:40Absolutely.
00:52:41I promise.
00:52:42I'll call you on the ride home.
00:53:08Okay.
00:53:22Uh, Miss 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.
00:53:31Well, um...
00:53:32Come in.
00:53:37Come in.
00:53:49Oh. Oh, here. Let me help you.
00:53:51No, no, no. Sit down. Sit down.
00:53:53I've taught some of the toughest 10th graders.
00:53:57You can imagine, for almost 40 years,
00:53:59I think I can handle a tray of coffee.
00:54:02Yes, absolutely.
00:54:05And believe me, that wasn't when students were shipped out
00:54:09and sent to Juvenile Hall for just a little horseplay.
00:54:13No.
00:54:15Those students were downright dangerous.
00:54:18Wow. Not my brother, I hope.
00:54:21Hm? Who was your brother?
00:54:24Gary Burke.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:28You know him?
00:54:30Of course I know him.
00:54:32Oh. From high school?
00:54:35Nope.
00:54:36Well, maybe.
00:54:37I mean, I might have had him in one of my classes,
00:54:40but 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?
00:54:48When 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, yeah.
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.
00:55:10Yes, no.
00:55:11Oh, thank you for taking your time to speak with me
00:55:14and, um, for the coffee.
00:55:27Oh.
00:55:30I wonder if she left something.
00:55:39Did you forget something?
00:55:40No.
00:55:44No.
00:55:45No.
00:55:47No!
00:55:48No!
00:55:49No!
00:55:57She knows him, Duke.
00:56:00She knows him.
00:56:01Wait, so she was his teacher?
00:56:03Yeah, no, I...
00:56:04Yes, maybe if...
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?
00:56:12What 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
00:56:21that someone from town knows my brother, Gary!
00:56:24Mmm, no, I wouldn't, I 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, there's something totally shady about that guy.
00:56:32I just don't think that we should let him know
00:56:33that we know that he's lying.
00:56:36I don't think that we should tip our hand just to prove that.
00:56:38Oh.
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?
00:56:54Mm-hmm.
00:56:55Try to calm down.
00:56:56And then after I'm done, I'll come by, and then we can talk about what to do next.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:02Okay.
00:57:03I'm gonna come see you.
00:57:04Okay.
00:57:05I'm gonna come see you.
00:57:06Okay.
00:57:07I'll imagine that.
00:57:08Okay.
00:57:09Okay.
00:57:10I'm gonna come see you.
00:57:14I'll imagine that.
00:57:15What's wrong?
00:57:17Ellen Snow was just murdered.
00:57:18What?
00:57:19Ellen Snow was just murdered.
00:57:20What?
00:57:21What?
00:57:22What?
00:57:23What?
00:57:24I just wanna make sure you understand.
00:57:25you can call a lawyer anytime you want.
00:57:27I just wanna make sure you understand.
00:57:28You can call a lawyer anytime you want.
00:57:29Okay.
00:57:30I'm gonna come see you.
00:57:32Well, I'm gonna come see you.
00:57:33I'll imagine that.
00:57:34What's wrong?
00:57:35Ellen Snow was just murdered.
00:57:38Ellen Snow was just murdered.
00:57:45What?
00:57:50I just want to make sure you understand
00:57:52you can call a lawyer any time you want.
00:57:57Am I under arrest?
00:57:59Uh...
00:58:01No, we're just talking.
00:58:03Then 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
00:58:23because Miss Snow doesn't get a lot of visitors.
00:58:26So she wrote down the license plate of that car.
00:58:30Then...
00:58:33Miss Hawkins went over there to check on Ellen Snow.
00:58:37Make sure she's okay.
00:58:39It's the neighborly thing to do.
00:58:42She got there, and the door was open.
00:58:47She called out to her, but nobody responded.
00:58:50So she let herself in.
00:58:55And she found Ellen Snow laying on the living room floor.
00:59:01Dead.
00:59:07How?
00:59:08Well, the initial report suggests suffocation.
00:59:14But we'll know more when the autopsy comes back.
00:59:21That's awful.
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:24You want to take a guess who that car is registered to?
00:59:30God, the crap, Sheriff.
00:59:34We both know that I went to visit Miss Snow today.
00:59:37I was probably also the last person to see her alive.
00:59:41Besides 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?
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53Huh.
00:59:54Miss Snow is a 76-year-old English teacher.
00:59:56Why would anyone want to shut her up?
00:59:58Because she knew my brother.
01:00:01She just saw him a few days ago.
01:00:04Miss Burke, what were you doing in Ellen Snow's home?
01:00:07I went there to talk to her about Gary.
01:00:09Why do you think she would know anything?
01:00:11Because she was a teacher in his high school.
01:00:13She still lives here in town.
01:00:18So tell me again everything she told you.
01:00:22She 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?
01:00:42No.
01:00:43Why?
01:00:48Miss Burke, how well do you know John Cavanaugh?
01:00:51This...
01:00:53This Duke gentleman.
01:00:57Well enough.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:02Miss Burke, you're not leaving Miss Gilman's bluff any time soon, are you?
01:01:10You know I'm not.
01:01:12Well that's good.
01:01:16That's real good.
01:01:17You're free to leave.
01:01:26You're free to leave.
01:01:47You know, Angel.
01:01:49No...
01:01:51No.
01:01:52No.
01:01:58No.
01:01:59No.
01:02:01No.
01:02:03No, no.
01:02:04No.
01:02:05No.
01:02:06Stop.
01:02:07No.
01:02:08Hey, Megan. It's Duke. I've been calling you, but I couldn't reach you. I've been stopped
01:02:20by your house, but you weren't there. So, just call me. I hope everything's okay.
01:02:38Everything okay? What's wrong?
01:03:03What's your name? Your real name.
01:03:07You don't like Duke? I'm being serious.
01:03:12John? John Cavanaugh? Hell, I'd tell you my middle name, too, but it's a little embarrassing.
01:03:31Okay, just hear me out. I know this is gonna sound so crazy.
01:03:34Go on. I spent the day with Sheriff Brunson being interrogated.
01:03:39I'm sorry, what?
01:03:43Let's know. She was killed right after I left her.
01:03:49What are you talking about? What? I don't understand.
01:03:54I don't either. But he hinted that he thinks that I had something to do with it.
01:04:00But he didn't arrest you?
01:04:02No, because he has no evidence. And because...
01:04:07You're gonna think I'm crazy.
01:04:11To tell you the truth, I'm starting to think this whole thing is pretty crazy.
01:04:13Please... Please tell me that I'm lying.
01:04:18Megan, come on. What is going on?
01:04:21I think that Sheriff Brunson killed my brother.
01:04:26Killed your brother?
01:04:28Yes. Him and the Andersons and maybe even the lawyer, Nancy. Nancy Allendale.
01:04:36Okay, that... Come on, you gotta admit that sounds kind of far-fetched, don't you think?
01:04:40Yes, I do. Absolutely. But it's the only logical explanation here.
01:04:47How else can you explain all of this? You know that I have a brother.
01:04:50You saw the yearbook. Miss... Miss Snow said she saw him just a few days ago.
01:04:58Duke.
01:04:59Yeah, I know. I know. I know. I'm just thinking.
01:05:02Mrs. Snow... Why would they kill her?
01:05:05Because she talked to me. Because she knew too much.
01:05:09Because she wouldn't play ball. She wouldn't go along with it.
01:05:12Oh, come on. Would they really kill her?
01:05:15If they would kill my brother, why not?
01:05:20Okay. If 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. 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.
01:05:52The big question though, why? Why you?
01:05:56The oldest motive in the world.
01:06:00Sex?
01:06:02Money.
01:06:04Money?
01:06:05Money.
01:06:06Money.
01:06:07Money.
01:06:08Money.
01:06:09Money.
01:06:10Money.
01:06:11Money.
01:06:12Money.
01:06:13Money.
01:06:14Money.
01:06:15Money.
01:06:16Money.
01:06:17Money.
01:06:18Money.
01:06:19Money.
01:06:20Money.
01:06:21Money.
01:06:22Money.
01:06:23Money.
01:06:24Money.
01:06:25Money.
01:06:26Money.
01:06:27Money.
01:06:28Money.
01:06:29Money.
01:06:30Money.
01:06:31Money.
01:06:32Money.
01:06:33Money.
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.
01:06:47Against my will.
01:07:01You know, it's getting late. I think I should probably get going.
01:07:03I gotta 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.
01:07:14Stay.
01:07:33Hello?
01:07:36Hello?
01:07:37Hello?
01:07:38Hello?
01:07:39Hello?
01:07:40Hello?
01:07:41Hello?
01:07:42Hello?
01:07:43Hello?
01:07:44Hello?
01:07:45Hello?
01:07:46Hello?
01:07:47Hello?
01:07:48Hello?
01:07:49Hello?
01:07:50Hello?
01:07:51Hello?
01:07:52Hello?
01:07:53Hello?
01:07:54Hello?
01:07:55Hello?
01:07:56Hello?
01:07:57Hello?
01:07:58Hello?
01:07:59I don't know.
01:08:29I don't know.
01:08:59I don't know.
01:09:00I don't know.
01:09:01I don't know.
01:09:02I don't know.
01:09:03I don't know.
01:09:04Come on, Duke.
01:09:05What are you doing?
01:09:06Me?
01:09:07What are you doing?
01:09:08I hear...
01:09:09I heard a noise.
01:09:10It woke me up.
01:09:11It's...
01:09:12It makes you know I'm in the house.
01:09:14It makes you know I'm in the house.
01:09:16Okay.
01:09:17And?
01:09:18No.
01:09:19Okay.
01:09:20It's alright to bed.
01:09:21Okay.
01:09:22It's alright to bed.
01:09:23Okay.
01:09:24Okay.
01:09:25It's alright.
01:09:26It's alright.
01:09:27Okay.
01:09:28Okay.
01:09:29I'll be right back.
01:09:30Okay.
01:09:31I'll be right back.
01:09:32I'll be right back.
01:09:34You can't see it.
01:10:05Not open yet, sweetheart.
01:10:23Oh, uh, I'm just, uh, looking for... Is Duke here?
01:10:27And you are?
01:10:29A friend of his.
01:10:31Friend, huh?
01:10:32Yeah.
01:10:32Thought he seemed a little more upbeat lately.
01:10:35I'm sorry, is he here? It's important.
01:10:40No, he's not here, but 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?
01:10:57I 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?
01:11:17Duke was planning to buy this place from me.
01:11:19Yeah, thought he could do more with it.
01:11:22Fix it up, bring 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?
01:11:45I thought you were friends with him.
01:11:51Huh, not 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.
01:12:15Time in.
01:12:16Time in.
01:12:44One.
01:12:44I need to talk to you.
01:13:14Duke?
01:13:44I need to talk to you.
01:14:14Do 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.
01:14:28Yeah.
01:14:29Yeah.
01:14:30No, 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?
01:14:42Duke was planning to buy this place from me.
01:14:44He 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.
01:14:52I got my own reasons for staying.
01:14:54Oh, my God.
01:14:58Oh, my God.
01:15:04Oh, my God.
01:15:09Oh, my God.
01:15:14Oh my god!
01:15:16I know!
01:15:18Megan?
01:15:20Oh my god.
01:15:22Oh my god.
01:15:24Oh my god.
01:15:26Oh my god.
01:15:28Oh my god.
01:15:309-1-1. What's your emergency?
01:15:32Hello, please.
01:15:34I'm at the helm of Duke.
01:15:36John Kavanaugh.
01:15:38I think he's gonna try to kill me.
01:15:40Please kill him quickly.
01:15:42Get an optic on the way.
01:15:44Megan?
01:15:50Megan?
01:15:52What the hell?
01:15:56Get away from me.
01:15:58What the hell's the matter with you?
01:16:00It was you.
01:16:02What are you talking about? What was me?
01:16:04You killed him.
01:16:06It was you the whole time.
01:16:08Who did I kill?
01:16:10You killed Gary, my brother.
01:16:12Megan?
01:16:14You're not well.
01:16:16Back up.
01:16:18Back up, you son of a bitch.
01:16:20Put that down.
01:16:22I've been trying to help you.
01:16:24You're gonna help me.
01:16:26You lying murderous bastard.
01:16:28Back 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!
01:16:40You're lying!
01:16:46Megan?
01:16:48You can't do it!
01:16:50Megan, that's what I do with you.
01:16:52Stop lying!
01:16:56You can't do it.
01:16:58You can't do it.
01:17:00I can't do it.
01:17:02I can't do it.
01:17:03You can't do it.
01:17:04I can't do it.
01:17:05I can't do it.
01:17:07Stop lying.
01:17:12It's right in front of you.
01:17:14In your computer, I saw what you were searching for.
01:17:18Megan, I could see how that looked.
01:17:22You have to believe me.
01:17:25I had to make sure.
01:17:27Sure, what?
01:17:28You said it yourself. It all sounded a little crazy.
01:17:34I had to make sure.
01:17:37I like you.
01:17:39A lot.
01:17:43I had to find out about you.
01:17:48And brother.
01:17:56Tell them to the cops.
01:17:58It was Duke.
01:18:00He killed Gary.
01:18:01He killed him.
01:18:03That is not true.
01:18:09He's lying. I saw his body.
01:18:14You know what, Duke?
01:18:16I believe you.
01:18:17Oh, my God.
01:18:19What are you doing?
01:18:23No.
01:18:25This could have been so simple.
01:18:28But you made it complicated.
01:18:30It was you.
01:18:32You killed Gary.
01:18:34Yeah.
01:18:35Among others.
01:18:36Why?
01:18:37Why?
01:18:39Why?
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.
01:18:51Your parents are filthy rich.
01:18:53And they're arrogant.
01:18:55They never gave a dime to anyone in this town.
01:18:59Not their family.
01:19:00Not their neighbors.
01:19:02Not their friends.
01:19:03That's not true.
01:19:04They were good people.
01:19:05Oh, how the hell would you know?
01:19:07You weren't here.
01:19:08On this little windfall of cash,
01:19:10it's gonna go a long ways to handling my financial problems.
01:19:13What are you gonna do?
01:19:14Kill me?
01:19:15Unless you got a better idea.
01:19:20You know, we kinda assumed that you'd snap once your brother went missing.
01:19:24But you, you turned out to be a little more resilient.
01:19:27Thanks to this it is.
01:19:28Stop!
01:19:34Someone's gonna talk.
01:19:36Someone's gonna talk.
01:19:38Someone's gonna say something.
01:19:40Who?
01:19:41Me?
01:19:42Nancy Allendale.
01:19:46The Andersons.
01:19:47We all have a huge windfall of money coming our way.
01:19:51And 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.
01:20:02What are you thinking?
01:20:04You're not gonna get away with this!
01:20:07Well, once we tie up these loose ends, it's really quite simple.
01:20:10The 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?
01:20:43And 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.
01:20:54Get the gun!
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.
01:21:18You're not gonna shoot me.
01:21:19Get that gun of shit.
01:21:20Get that gun of shit.
01:21:21,
01:21:26.
01:21:31.
01:21:32.
01:21:36.
01:21:41.
01:21:43How bad is it?
01:21:51I'll live.
01:21:53I'm so sorry.
01:21:56I know.
01:22:01So this alone?
01:22:04Do you maybe want another investor?
01:22:10Of course, you're going to need some serious rehab.
01:22:12I'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.
01:22:42You know some place to go.
01:22:45You know some place to recover.
01:22:47This is on a podcast.
01:22:48I know some place to be on Sundays.
01:22:49You know some place to be on.
01:22:51Let's go.
01:22:54You know some place to be here.
01:22:55You know some place to be on a casket.
01:22:58Next time today.
