A Good Marriage (2014) Movie Script
I fled him down the
nights and down the days.
I fled him down the
arches of the years.
I fled him down the labyrinthine
ways of my own mind.
And in the mist of tears,
I hid from him, and under
Running laughter.
Come on Darcy!
Come on babe, let's go for it!
Go for it mom, go for it!
Is she hot or what?
For an older chick, I mean.
You talk too much.
What can I get for you?
So, what's up with the
advertising genius?
We got our first
client last week.
Wonderful!
Yeah, it's the biggest car
dealership in Cleveland.
They, they want
a new approach.
Something that
skews younger, so...
You waited all night
to tell us this?
I'm sorry.
Ben, wonderful!
That's amazing.
That's amazing,
you two kids...
I mean three kids.
Just coming all this way just
to party with the old folks.
It's just...
Mom, are you okay?
I'm sorry, just, I think I
do need to go powder my nose
After all.
You're the best.
You're so lucky.
Got a good man, good...
Couple of kids, and you
even still got your figure.
Oh, your figure is fine, Betty.
Bob certainly noticed.
My mother would say...
"Count your blessings,
babe"
Oh, I do. I do.
You know that guy Beadie?
Over in new Hampshire?
He got another one.
A gay divorcee, like me.
What do you mean?
The um...
yeah.
- The... - Oh.
- The news anchor on channel eight?
You know, the really cute one?
He said it makes it an even dozen.
She was tortured.
I don't know what
I'm talking about.
I'm drunk.
That's okay.
Go back to your family.
Okay, are you okay?
- Yeah... - Okay.
- I just need a little more time by myself.
- Alright, I'll see you later.
- Mhmm.
Okay.
Heh.
I was going to save
this until later, but...
Happy anniversary
Mrs. Anderson.
Oh...
You're a Pisces.
Oh my god, bobby,
they're beautiful!
They're beautiful, thank you.
Oh... Oh...
Oh, hey, hey, hey, cut it out.
- Come on! What?
- For later.
Mm.
Save it for later.
Oh...
Let me try them on.
There.
Now, how do they look?
They were made for you, hon.
- Would you hold that?
- Yes.
And we'd better get back in there.
They're, they're gonna think we got a room.
Honestly speaking,
I wouldn't mind.
Alright, la... uh, la... ladies and
germs, what we have here is
The best accountant
in our little company.
In the same vein...
Best damn accountant
in the U.S of A!
And you want to know why?
You want to know why?
Because he's careful...
Okay, because he checks his work...
and look out IRS, because
when he has to,
He covers his tracks.
Enjoy!
Thank you for this.
Hi, I just wanted to thank everybody
for coming tonight, and um...
Just take a minute of your time.
Uh, when Donnie and I decided to have this party,
it was really as a way of saying
thank you to our parents.
For your love and support and
for putting up with us for the
Past 25 years. Um, but really,
to thank them for their love
and their respect and their
devotion to each other.
Through hard work and a
little help from their kids...
And lots of love.
My parents have created
something very rare.
A good marriage.
We love you guys.
Well, got the
house to ourselves.
Heh, yes.
Mmm.
We do.
Hmm, am I gonna
get lucky tonight?
Well, if you bring me
some fizzy water...
Uh huh.
To settle my stomach a little.
Mm.
You just might.
Oh, want you to be on top.
Well, we'll see.
Here I come, ready or not!
Yeah, well hopefully
we both will.
Hmm!
Oh, thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Bob...
Hmm?
Mm.
Are you my bad, bad girl?
Oh, are you my naughty boy?
I am.
I can't help it.
I'm powerless over my nature.
I hope you're not powerless
over the long list of
Honeydews I have for
year 26, Mr. Anderson.
Mm.
Come on over here, you
naughty little boy.
Yaaaah, whoop-Ah!
...tombstone every mile
Count 'em all, there'd
be a tombstone every mile
Ahh.
That was terrific.
Good.
Happy anniversary you
naughty little boy.
Yay!
...with potatoes, and
you're headed down
Down the woods to
get to a Boston town
Okay.
A 1955 double-Dye wheat penny.
Robert Anderson's
great white whale.
Christ.
Mhmm.
Is that uncirculated?
Hmm, no, but better than good.
I'd call it VG.
I found it on yesterday's
pennies from heaven blog.
The guy who owns it has it
listed for like, I dunno,
$15,000, which is ridiculous,
But I think I could get it
for 9.
Let me buy it for you.
Let me, an anniversary present.
- Like your fish earrings.
- No...
No, no, no, no.
Yes!
Those fish earrings
didn't cost $9,000.
No, I know, but I want to.
Oh, no...
It's not the, look, hm, look,
if I find it, then it's...
Then it's fate, it's karma.
I know, I know, but...
I just thought, you know,
it's our anniversary, and it's
Special...
But maybe... going once,
going twice...
I'm sure that one day I will
find one in my change.
Until then...
Yes, you enjoy the hunt.
Yes, I enjoy the hunt.
Okay.
Alright.
Oh, great.
They're home.
Oh, you're such a mom.
I know I am.
I'm just powerless
over my nature. Mm.
Does an accountant ever
eat a good breakfast?
Ooh, good shot ma.
Ugh, don't say "ma." It sounds
so ignorant.
Ma!
Ma ray, ma barker, ma jug,
you went out last night ma!
Okay.
Eww!
Ugh! Always blame the woman!
Well, as James Jones says in
"from here to eternity,
"God dealt women all
the best the cards.
Right between the legs."
Sexist crap!
Daddy, I can't
believe you said that!
Daddy, it
sounds so ignorant!
Bad dad.
Stop it, stop it.
So when will you be back?
Eh, it depends on the traffic.
I have to drop in on the famous
Mr. Gaines before I leave.
You're not crazy about my
secondary career as a
Kingpin collector...
But I am the best
accountant in the firm.
Yeah, no conceit
in our family.
- No.
- Don't forget to thank him for the tasteful toilet seat.
Will do. Right after I ask him for
a corner office with an ocean view.
Oh, you're bad.
You're bad. Goodbye.
Bye. You take good care of my baby.
Oh, you bet I will ma.
Love you.
I love you.
Drive safe.
I will, I always do.
Don't miss your flight.
Bye!
Call me!
Bye sweetie.
Bye.
...and although
police refuse to comment,
Sources close to the
investigation confirm that
Elements of the crime suggest
that it was the work of the
Notorious serial killer
who calls himself "Beadie."
Yes, that's right Dave. Marjorie Duvall moved
here to the picturesque town of Southgansett,
new Hampshire after
her divorce five years ago.
Co-Workers reported her
missing last Wednesday after
She failed to
show up for work.
Mrs. Duvall's body was
discovered early this morning
By a jogger in this remote
area of the abandoned south
Gansett railway station.
If this was, in fact the
work of the notorious serial
Killer, police can soon
expect to receive Mrs. Duvall's
Identification cards, along
with a taunting note from
Beadie in the mail.
About a dozen downtown
businesses were boarded up
Wednesday, and glass littered
sidewalks following two nights
Of protests over the police
shooting of an unarmed black man.
There were few people on the
streets as the arch diocese
Cancelled classes in two
inner-City roman catholic
Schools. Police urged curiosity seekers
to stay out of the...
And me and mine
have cleared a straight path
For you.
Aim here.
For the center.
Oh, no.
No.
Oh come on.
Oh, ugh, oh, poop!
Oh!
Yes, he goes, but he
never really leaves.
Let's see here...
Ow!
Ugh.
These are mine!
I was looking for these.
Male expiration.
Shit.
Shit!
That makes an even dozen.
She was tortured.
Oh my god.
Oh...
Fuck, fuck fuck!
Um...
Hi, this is Darcy.And this is bob.
We're not able to come to the phone right now,
but leave a message if you want to.
And if it's about collectible coins,
Make sure you leave a message.
Remember, change
comes from within!
If that's you handsome, uh,
get your tight little buns
Over here.
My, my husband's out of town.
Ahh, very funny.
I tried you before.
Uh, I-I-I was on
the phone with pets.
You know, she got home fine,
and, and uh,
And Donnie did too.
It's just, and she's...
Just going crazy over those,
uh, bridesmaid's dresses.
You okay?
Um, well, to quote the
famous Robert Anderson I'm...
Upright and sniffing the air.
How did it go today?
Ah, well I picked up 17 lady
liberties at a good...
Uh... no, at a great price.
As for that idiot's taxes,
the less said the better.
Oh dear.
Your voice sounds thick.
You haven't been
crying have you?
Well I just, you know...
After I talked with
pets, I just...
I started thinking
about my, my sister.
You know, she was
a year younger...
Than pets when she died.
Um...
Well honey, if I jump in the
car and turn around, I can be
Home in no time.
No no, no, no.
Don't do that.
I, after the day you've
put in, it's just a...
I'd be worried you'd fall
asleep behind the wheel.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
In fact, um, did I, um, since
you're in Vermont anyway, did
I, did I mention that, uh,
estate sale in rutland?
Yeah, yeah yeah.
I checked it online back at the motel.
Lot 75 steel pennies.
I mean... Look, if you're okay and
I can square it with Gaines,
do you mind if I stay another day?
More time for me
and the pool boy.
Well, lock up tight.
Always.
I know you loved your sister, honey.
Yes.
Yes I did.
And I love you.
I love you.
Beadie...
Incredible as
it may seem, beadie has been
Living on this suburban
cleaves mills street since the
Late 1980s, with his wife of
25 years and two children, who
Are just now finding out that
they have grown up under the
Shadow of new England's
most notorious killer.
Or so they claim.
Many are asking how much
Darcelene Anderson knew about
Her husband's other
life as beadie.
She knew nothing!
Ask yourself if you really
need one of these tonight.
Yeah, well, I think tonight
I do.
You just had had to
fucking look, didn't you?
Any more coffee darling?
Yeah, sure.
Just a half a cup.
You know what, forget
about that coffee.
It'll just keep me up anyway.
Just the check please.
Coming up.
A slut reading a slutty novel.
Hm.
No...
Hi.
- You've been cheating
at the candy again. - Oh my...
Jesus, you scared
the life out of me.
As Moses said to the children
of Israel, "what goeth in the
Mouth today, is showeth
in the butt tomorrow."
Bob...
What are you doing here?
You're supposed
to be in Vermont.
We need to talk.
What?
You come sneaking in here at
3:30 in the morning because we
Need to talk?
I lay for a while
in that stupid motel.
After we talked.
And then I went out for
something to eat, all the
While trying to convince
myself that what I was
Thinking wasn't true.
But I didn't get to where I
got by dodging the truth, so,
I jumped in the blazer
and I hit the road.
Really?
Gosh, I don't know what
you're talking about.
I... I really, I just
don't have a clue.
It's um, and as for the candy,
you know people in glass
Houses shouldn't throw stones.
Well there you go with your
passive aggressive stuff again.
You never change.
I can read you
like a book, honey.
You're upset.
And it's my fault.
And I'm sorry from the
bottom of my heart.
You found my secret hiding
place in the garage.
I really haven't
Absolutely no idea.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You did a great job putting everything
back where it belonged, except the
box was a little to the left of where I
Usually put it.
And I love that box, because,
you know, Petra, Petra gave it to me.
And there was a
rubber band missing.
Beadie always uses
two rubber bands.
Belt and suspender rule.
But, I found it.
Uh...
Under your car.
Which, by the way, needs an
oil change,
Which you always forget.
Sometimes you can be so smart
about about some things.
And so dumb about others.
Like clearing the
search history.
You always forget to do it.
What?
The search history.
It's the first thing I
checked when I came in.
And...
Okay, I admit it.
I had a pudding cup.
So I guess I am a person
that lives in a glass house.
Really, you checked
my computer?
You dirty sneak!
Oh...
Darc, I've been
doing it for years.
I have a very bad friend that
does very bad things, and when
You're a man in
that position...
You have to stay current
on those closest to you.
And since the kids left
home, that would be you.
And you haven't just been
checking on Marjorie duvall.
You've been checking
on all of them.
Whoops!
Who's... bad friend?
What... what bad friend?
The kid I chummed around
in junior high with.
I told you about him
after we were married.
Yeah, but he's d...
Dead, yeah.
Got hit by a truck chasing
a baseball onto the street.
Poor old Brian.
You're not making sense, bob.
Ahh.
I guess you'd
have to be there.
There were these girls that
snooted us in the 8th grade.
Diane Ramage.
Laurie Svensen.
And a couple of others.
Anyway, Brian came up with
this idea that we would catch
One of them alone.
Well, maybe two.
One for each of us.
We were going to say to them
That if they fucked us real good
Like they fucked their
boyfriends on Saturday night,
We'd let them live.
And this was um...
This was all your
friend Brian's idea?
Well...
Look, those girls were snoots.
Like, like, like
Betty next door.
Did you see the way that she
was running her tits all over
Me at the party?
Well, yeah, she was drunk.
Yeah.
But Darcy, you have
to realize that...
I didn't kill those women.
Not really.
It was another person
inside my head.
I fought it for
years, the voice.
And then I just...
I just thought,
I'll do it, once.
Get it out of my head.
If I get caught, I get caught.
At least, at least it won't
be in my head anymore.
Won't have to think about it,
wonder what it would be like.
All these years, you've
been fighting him.
Is that right?
The beadie inside you?
Yeah, yeah. I have,
And I could fight him
forever if, if I thought that
There was a future for us.
If there was some way that
we could, you know, just...
Turn the page.
Well, if I don't...
I suppose that I
become Beadie's next.
Oh Darcy come on.
Honey, this is not some, some
movie where the psycho husband
Chases the screaming
wife around the house.
I would never let
beadie hurt you.
You know that, don't you?
Anyway...
Even if you were to
turn me in,
I wouldn't lift a finger.
But...
But?
You have to think
about the kids.
And you have to think
about yourself, Darcy.
Honey, you have to
think about yourself!
Who is going to believe that
you lived with me for all
These years and
you didn't know?
- I didn't...
- Didn't even suspect.
I didn't, I didn't,
I didn't, not once.
You know, and then you would
have to move, and the Anderson
Coin and collectable company
would be blackballed, I can
Promise you that.
And, you know, then
there's the kids.
They have to live with the shame
and the humiliation and...
Stop it, stop it,
don't say that!
Don't talk about them when you
talk about this!
Don't ever, just don't do it!
Okay, okay.
Can we, can we, look. Can we just put it
behind us, honey?
Oh god.
I don't know.
Hm?
Okay.
Just let me think
about it bob.
Let me think about it.
Sure, sure.
It's okay I, I...
I understand.
I'm really tired.
It was a long drive.
It was exhausting.
Could you turn out
the light honey, huh?
Would you mind?
Mm.
Stupid bitch!
Did you really think I
was going to let you live?
Did you really think I was
going to let you live, huh?
Did you really think that
I was gonna let you live?
Did you?
Huh?
Huh?
Bob?
Bob?
Bob?
I didn't kill those women.
Not really.
It was another person inside my head.
Bob?
I just thought, I'll do it, once.
Get it out of my head.
If I get caught, I get caught.
At least I won't have to think about it,
Wonder what it'd be like.
Darcy!
Darcy, I'm home!
Darc...
Pizza.
I didn't feel like cooking.
Yeah, but what about
your acid reflux?
I took a Zantac.
Okay.
Well, since we're gonna be
bad, uh, what do you say we
Have a little wine?
I'll take that as a yes.
- I'll have another.
- Wow, you took a couple of Zantacs didn't you?
That's the one you left
upstairs on the little table.
Did I?
Hm.
Must've forgot that
I had it in my hand.
I was going to cut myself an
apple, but I, I forgot the
Apple too.
You know what it's like
when you get tired.
You forget stuff.
Hm, it's mushroom.
- You have to promise me.
- What?
You have to promise me
that you're going to stop.
Yes honey, whatever you say.
The most solemn...
"Never go back on it" promise.
I do. I told you that yesterday.
And we could never
talk about this again.
I get that.
And you're not to send...
The duvall woman's
id to the police.
I need more than
promises, bobby.
You dig a hole in the woods
somewhere, and you bury that
Woman's id in it.
If I do that...
Heh.
Are we good?
Of course we are.
- You're good. - I am.
- You're going to stay that way, aren't you?
- I am.
- Mhmm.
Good, that's settled.
Go ahead and eat your pizza then.
Mm.
O-Oh, my god!
That's hot!
Don't take such big bites and
you won't burn your mouth.
Mother knows best.
Mm, oh!
Mm.
And mom, I'm still
waiting on 20 RSVPs.
And, and they're
all his relatives!
And he says that they're
coming, but how am I supposed
To know that?
Why wouldn't they RSVP? Relax honey.
Take a deep breath. The wedding
is still weeks away, okay?
Mom, I think it would've been
easier if we had just eloped.
Now that would've
broken my heart.
And your dad's, of course.
How is the old fella?
Oh, you know dad.
He's upright and
sniffing the air.
Hey, have you talked to Donnie? Are you
sure that he's cleared his schedule, because, um,
he's become this damn
success story and, just...
Pets, your brother will
be there with bells on.
And if he's not,
your dad will...
Kill him? God, I hope so.
Something like that.
Alright, I love you mom.
I love you too.
And um, stop obsessing?
Alright, I'll try.
That's a plea.
Okay.
Thanks mom.
Bye.
...our champion, sable.
Sable, and where
are you from?
Sable's from Harlem!
Isn't that wonderful?
Any luck finding the
great lost penny?
No, not yet.
But you know, all good things
come to those who wait.
This is nice.
Yeah.
It's...
How long has it been
since we've had a... a girl-Girl afternoon?
Oh, I don't know,
a couple of months?
I guess?
Mm.
That's right, because
you and bob are so tight.
Yeah.
I don't know how
you do it, darc. Honestly.
Yeah, neither do I.
Mm.
Oh, he's on the road, yeah?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
He's just in Portsmouth.
Um, some little stationary
company got their taxes all
Snarled up, you know, and, and
there's a coin show tomorrow
And, but, you know,
he'll be back tomorrow.
Oh, with him, it's
always a coin show.
- I know, I know.
- Does he actually have any other hobbies?
- Just let me clear these for you here. - No, I'm not finished.
- That's, that's alright. - I'm not done!
- Sorry.
- Right.
Darc?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, you know
it's just the wedding.
Petra keeps calling every
night, and every night there
Seems to be a new
problem and...
Shit just rolls
downhill and...
That's it, that's it.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And uh, you know I just...
I worry when
bob's on the road.
You know, when he's away.
How about dessert?
Enough.
You're right bob.
I can do it.
...friends have no knowledge
of the missing funds.
In other news, a Portsmouth
woman was found murdered in
Her apartment
late this morning.
Mikaela Blake, age 42,
had been shot three times.
Police have taken Mrs. Blake's
common-Law husband into
Custody, and sources close
to the investigation say he's confessed.
Of course, if the next one is
Beadie's,
She belongs to you, Darcy.
There's a fix-It muffler four
blocks down on Rayburn avenue.
Maybe you missed it, huh? You only
go past it every day when you go to work.
Yeah, well, you know.
They fix the problem, charge
you three times what it's
Worth, and then point
out six other things.
And then, uh, some big snooty
guy looks at you and says
"Hey, I'm just telling
you, it's your decision."
Can you hand me the
adjustable wrench?
Darcy?
You okay darc?
Um...
I saw you looking at Betty.
Yeah, well...
That skirt was pretty short.
It's hard not to look.
Well then you're going to have
to try harder, aren't you?
It's a big week
next week, huh?
Petra's big week.
You want to hand
me the adjustable?
I want to get out of here.
Thank you honey.
You're welcome.
Honey, limo's here.
I'll be down in a
couple of minutes!
I brought you
some fizzy water.
Oh, thanks.
Oh my god.
What?
What's wrong?
You look gorgeous.
Oh...
No, no, no.
None of that.
I'm going to have to fix
my mouth all over again.Hm?
But...
Thank you. Thank you.
You're very sweet.
So go on. I'll be down in just a
couple minutes.
Daddy...
Congratulations.
Quick, get a picture.
Brian, get over here.
Come here!
Donnie, alright!
Folks, ladies and gentlemen,
it's time for the father and
Daughter dance.
Let's get 'em out here.
Let's see them move,
give them some room.
Light breezes seem to
whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in
the sycamore tree
Dream a little
dream of me
Say nighty night
and kiss me
Just hold me tight and
tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone,
blue as can be
Dream a little
dream of me
Stars fading, but
I linger on dear
Okay, guys, everybody dance!
May I?
You may.
Enjoy.
Sweet dreams 'til
sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave
our worries behind you
Darcy!
You're missing your own party!
Hi, I, I'm just
rehearsing my toast.
Oh.
You'll be fine. Honey, this is a
beautiful wedding.
I'm so happy for you!
Thank you Betty.
Thank you.
Um...
Bob...
I think he, he might have
a little thing for me.
Betty...
Yes, on a, a few occasions I
have suggested that he put his
Eyes back into his head.
Okay.
I just want you to know that I
have never encouraged it and I
Never would.
Because you're my best friend.
I know that, honey.
You are such a peach.
I know.
You deserve every good thing
that's happened to you.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Bob, what's wrong?
Nothing...
Nothing, everything
is finally right.
Oh honey...
If I was a poet, I could tell
you how grateful I am for this
Second chance.
To be here, to see
all of this, but...
I'm just a lousy, coin
collecting accountant.
So all I can say is thank you.
Thank you so much.
Come on.
We need to get back in there.
Yeah.
Mrs. Moore?
Mrs. Moore?
Are you alright?
Darcy!
Petra?
Darcy!
Darcy!
Darcy!
Darcy.
Darcy!
Darcy!
Darcy!
- What? - Darcy, you're never going to believe it?
- What? - You're never going To believe it. - You're scaring the Jesus out of me, what?
Pick a hand.
- What? I don't want to play games, bob, what...
- come on come on come on, pick, pick, pick, pick!
You read my mind.
But you always could.
Found it in the change bear.
Y-You just found this?
Let me see this.
I was just going
through the change.
Oh my gosh. How many years
have you been searching for this?
Since I was 14 years old.
Oh!
Isn't it great?
I know.
I'm so happy for you.
So, what do you think?
Is it fine or very fine?
You're the expert?
Eh, I'd love to say VF, but...
I know, I know, I know.
- But it's better than VG.
- Oh, definitely better than VG.
Definitely. You know what,
if your dad was here,
he would be cracking open
a bottle of champagne.
I just know it.
Well, I will take care of that
tonight at pearl of the shore.
Oh, bob.
I, I don't know.
Come on, come on.
Put on your prettiest dress...
I will buy as much
champagne as you can drink.
Well, How about as much
champagne as you can drink,
and I'll drive home?
It's your find, after all.
Deal.
Oh!
Woo!
Alright, one more time!
Whoa!
Yes!
Am I going to get to
be a naughty boy, huh?
Oh, you might, you might.
Come here, come here...
Oh, I'm going to go upstairs and
I'm going to get
out of this dress.
And if you bring me some fizzy
water and a wedge of lime,
You just might get lucky mister.
But...
It will cost you.
How much?
For you?
Just a penny.
Wait...
Mhmm.
Oh!
For safekeeping.
I want you on top, alright?
Yes.
With the mirror.
Hey now, hurry up, hurry
up you naughty boy.
Here I come, ready or not!
Are you my bad bad girl?
Are you my naughty boy?
W...
Why did you push me?
Maybe it was
female exploration.
I so hoped that the
fall would kill you.
I knew it might not.
Agh!
Yeah, here I am, bobby!
Oh, I'm on top.
Just the way you
like it, right?
Right?
Okay.
That's fine.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I'm fine.
9-1-1, what's your emergency? Hello, this
is Darcelene Anderson calling from 24 sugar mill lane.
My husband just fell
down the stairs and I...
I just, I think I
might, he might be dead.
Ma'am, I'm going to need you
to go over and check to see if
He's breathing.
I already have help on the way.
For I am the resurrection
and the life.
And he who believeth on me,
even if he die,
Yet shall he live.
So we commit thy servant,
Robert Anderson,
To the ground.
In the sure belief that the
good works of his honest life
Will recommend him to thee
on the day of judgment.
Hang in mom.
Almost finished.
Would the family
like to approach?
Rest in peace, pop.
Miss you, dad.
They were very special to me.
Then why didn't you
put them in the coffin?
I forgot, pets.
But, hush.
May the lord bless
you and keep you.
May the lord raise
up his face upon you.
Nice dress.
If it was any shorter
you could see her a... don't you, ever.
Ever!
She's just upset.
Boy, is she ever.
Do you think there's
any booze in that limo?
I could use a drink.
Yeah, I'm buying.
Ah, thank you so
much Mrs. Anderson.
God bless you.
Mhmm, you too father.
You're very welcome.
Some good comes of
our greatest losses.
If you say so.
Hello.
Mrs. Anderson.
Yes.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I...
Whoops.
Oh.
Well thank you.
Holt Ramsey.
I'm with the office of the
state's attorney general.
Does ret mean you're retired?
Heh, well, I'm an old dog.
They toss me a bone now
and then, I chew on it.
Oh.
I think I've seen you.
Have you been here before?
According to the
Hindus, we all have.
Yes.
Um, what can I do
for you Mr. Ramsey? Inside would be better.
Oh...
My, this is...
A lovely home you
have here missus.
Look, a place for everything,
and everything in its place.
My wife would have approved.
How I miss her.
Just the way I imagine
I miss your husband.
Yes.
Um...
What may I do for
you, Mr. Ramsey?
I'm sorry, or is it
detective Ramsey?
Heh, donkey ears since
anyone called me "detective."
No, you go straight to Holt.
That'll do me just fine.
But, the thing is, I get
bored, just the TV for
Company, so I thought to
myself "I'll, what the hell,
I'll take that drive down to
cleaves mills and I'll just
Ask a few of my
little questions."
Here.
Have a look.
Turn it over.
Oh, I see you do know my name.
Indeed I do.
Both your names.
Uh, bob, Darcy.
BD.
Beadie.
Look at you.
Look at you both.
Rubbing our noses in it the
whole time, weren't you?
I'm sorry.
There are twelve women
who are dead missus...
I'm surprised you
can laugh at that.
Um, sit down right
there, and just be quiet.
Troublesome man.
Never touch that stuff.
You know you're crazy.
Could be.
But I noticed you haven't
asked me to leave yet.
I mean...
Agh, I probably don't have
much of a case, you know that.
Mm, you have no case.
Doesn't matter, missus.
There are ways,
and there are ways.
Once I come upon this
fella, way far upstate.
Killed his wife, two kiddies.
Tried to make it look
like home invasion.
I chewed on that old bone.
Got a taste for it.
Chewed that bone 'til the
fella got nervous and he ran.
Mhmm?
And what happened to him.
I chased him.
Right up into the
Haynesville woods.
You know?
Where the song says there's
a tombstone every mile.
Well, he crashed. And I crashed right
after him, and that's how I got this leg,
not to mention this steel
rod that I got in my neck.
Mm, I can tell you when
it's going to rain.
And the kid that
you were chasing?
What did he get?
He got death.
Burned to death in his car.
Saved the state...
40-50 years room and
board in Shawshank.
You are quite the hound of
heaven, aren't you Mr. Ramsey?
"I fled him down the
night and down the day."
"I fled him down the
arches and veers."
"I fled him down the
labyrinthine ways."
And so on.
Did you learn that in school?
Methodist youth fellowship.
Oh.
I won't let you ruin
my children's lives.
Well, if you think about
it missus,
It wasn't me put ruin in their
way.
You think about it.
Go ahead if you
want to, but...
I don't think you'll
get away with it twice.
What's the worst thing
that you ever did?
Come on.
Two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead.
And you'll be dead
soon enough, won't you?
Huh.
You recall that fella
I told you about?
The one who killed
his wife and kids?
Mm.
Well, after he wrapped his
mustang around a tree, I...
I just sat and I
listened to the screams.
For quite a while.
Finally they stopped.
And then I called it in.
And who else knows?
Only you.
Because...
People wouldn't
understand, would they?
Tell me something...
Just what was it that you...
Threw into the grave.
They were the earrings
that my husband...
Gave me for my
25th anniversary.
They were fish earrings
because I was a Pisces,
He said.
And you know, they belonged
to Marjorie duvall.
He raped her.
And he murdered her.
And stole her earrings,
and gave them to me.
And I thought, "oh, he's
just so thoughtful."
Marjorie duvall's id
was, uh, in this box.
The box that his daughter
made him for a school project.
He promised to stop.
Did you believe him?
No.
But I needed time to,
uh, to think, and um...
I wanted to spare my children.
You didn't come
here to kill me.
You never would've
brought this if you had.
There's one thing that
I can't quite get by.
The initials.
B-D.
Beadie.
Beadie was something else.
When my husband was a boy, he
had a friend
Who was killed in an accident.
It was a boy with...
Fantasies.
His name was Brian Delahanty.
I guess he didn't like his
first name very much, because
When my husband was a kid,
he used to call him...
BD...
Would you have caught him?
Oh yeah.
It's blurred, like
it's two pennies.
Yeah.
Some people are that way too.
I'll go now.
And uh...
You'll do what you have to do.
Missus.
The only thing I have to do...
Is pay my taxes.
It's not for me to punish you.
You know your kids are gonna
talk about how much they miss
Dear old...
Dad.
And tell their grandkids about
what a fine fella grandpa was.
You're just going to
sit there and listen.
Nod, smile...
Once in a while, even have to
talk about the good old days.
Mm.
I can live with that.
Darcy.
Come over here, close to me.
You did the right thing.
Now would you mind putting
my music on for me?
All you big
and burly men
Who roll the
trucks along
You'd better listen,
you'll be thankful
When you hear my song.
You have really
got it made
If you're hauling goods
Any place on earth
But those
Haynesville woods
It's a stretch of
road up north in Maine
That's never ever
ever seen a smile
And if they buried all the
truckers lost in them woods
There'd be a
tombstone every mile
It's a stretch of
road up north in Maine
That's never, ever,
ever seen a smile
And if they buried all the
truckers lost them woods
There'd be a
tombstone every mile.
Count 'em all, there'd
be a tombstone every mile
When you're talking to a
trucker that's been
hauling goods
Down the stretch of
road in Maine they call the
Haynesville woods
He'll tell you that dying
and going down below
Won't be half as bad as driving
on the road of ice and snow
It's a stretch of
road up north in Maine
That's never ever
ever seen a smile
And if they buried all the
truckers lost in them woods
There'd be a tombstone
every mile, count em all
There'd be a tombstone
Every
Mile
I can see you smile
And I can hear you
Say hello
You're everywhere I go
Such is my love
Even though I try
I can't forget
the way you sigh
My heart can't
help but cry
Such is my love
I just go on
Longing for your kisses
Still thrilling
to your charms
I never spend a day
without dreaming
You're right
here in my arms
If you only knew
The restless nights
my heart goes through
I'm helpless, what to do
How can I hide
The tears I keep inside
Such is my love
Such is my love
The tears I keep inside
Such is my love
nights and down the days.
I fled him down the
arches of the years.
I fled him down the labyrinthine
ways of my own mind.
And in the mist of tears,
I hid from him, and under
Running laughter.
Come on Darcy!
Come on babe, let's go for it!
Go for it mom, go for it!
Is she hot or what?
For an older chick, I mean.
You talk too much.
What can I get for you?
So, what's up with the
advertising genius?
We got our first
client last week.
Wonderful!
Yeah, it's the biggest car
dealership in Cleveland.
They, they want
a new approach.
Something that
skews younger, so...
You waited all night
to tell us this?
I'm sorry.
Ben, wonderful!
That's amazing.
That's amazing,
you two kids...
I mean three kids.
Just coming all this way just
to party with the old folks.
It's just...
Mom, are you okay?
I'm sorry, just, I think I
do need to go powder my nose
After all.
You're the best.
You're so lucky.
Got a good man, good...
Couple of kids, and you
even still got your figure.
Oh, your figure is fine, Betty.
Bob certainly noticed.
My mother would say...
"Count your blessings,
babe"
Oh, I do. I do.
You know that guy Beadie?
Over in new Hampshire?
He got another one.
A gay divorcee, like me.
What do you mean?
The um...
yeah.
- The... - Oh.
- The news anchor on channel eight?
You know, the really cute one?
He said it makes it an even dozen.
She was tortured.
I don't know what
I'm talking about.
I'm drunk.
That's okay.
Go back to your family.
Okay, are you okay?
- Yeah... - Okay.
- I just need a little more time by myself.
- Alright, I'll see you later.
- Mhmm.
Okay.
Heh.
I was going to save
this until later, but...
Happy anniversary
Mrs. Anderson.
Oh...
You're a Pisces.
Oh my god, bobby,
they're beautiful!
They're beautiful, thank you.
Oh... Oh...
Oh, hey, hey, hey, cut it out.
- Come on! What?
- For later.
Mm.
Save it for later.
Oh...
Let me try them on.
There.
Now, how do they look?
They were made for you, hon.
- Would you hold that?
- Yes.
And we'd better get back in there.
They're, they're gonna think we got a room.
Honestly speaking,
I wouldn't mind.
Alright, la... uh, la... ladies and
germs, what we have here is
The best accountant
in our little company.
In the same vein...
Best damn accountant
in the U.S of A!
And you want to know why?
You want to know why?
Because he's careful...
Okay, because he checks his work...
and look out IRS, because
when he has to,
He covers his tracks.
Enjoy!
Thank you for this.
Hi, I just wanted to thank everybody
for coming tonight, and um...
Just take a minute of your time.
Uh, when Donnie and I decided to have this party,
it was really as a way of saying
thank you to our parents.
For your love and support and
for putting up with us for the
Past 25 years. Um, but really,
to thank them for their love
and their respect and their
devotion to each other.
Through hard work and a
little help from their kids...
And lots of love.
My parents have created
something very rare.
A good marriage.
We love you guys.
Well, got the
house to ourselves.
Heh, yes.
Mmm.
We do.
Hmm, am I gonna
get lucky tonight?
Well, if you bring me
some fizzy water...
Uh huh.
To settle my stomach a little.
Mm.
You just might.
Oh, want you to be on top.
Well, we'll see.
Here I come, ready or not!
Yeah, well hopefully
we both will.
Hmm!
Oh, thank you.
Oh, thank you.
Bob...
Hmm?
Mm.
Are you my bad, bad girl?
Oh, are you my naughty boy?
I am.
I can't help it.
I'm powerless over my nature.
I hope you're not powerless
over the long list of
Honeydews I have for
year 26, Mr. Anderson.
Mm.
Come on over here, you
naughty little boy.
Yaaaah, whoop-Ah!
...tombstone every mile
Count 'em all, there'd
be a tombstone every mile
Ahh.
That was terrific.
Good.
Happy anniversary you
naughty little boy.
Yay!
...with potatoes, and
you're headed down
Down the woods to
get to a Boston town
Okay.
A 1955 double-Dye wheat penny.
Robert Anderson's
great white whale.
Christ.
Mhmm.
Is that uncirculated?
Hmm, no, but better than good.
I'd call it VG.
I found it on yesterday's
pennies from heaven blog.
The guy who owns it has it
listed for like, I dunno,
$15,000, which is ridiculous,
But I think I could get it
for 9.
Let me buy it for you.
Let me, an anniversary present.
- Like your fish earrings.
- No...
No, no, no, no.
Yes!
Those fish earrings
didn't cost $9,000.
No, I know, but I want to.
Oh, no...
It's not the, look, hm, look,
if I find it, then it's...
Then it's fate, it's karma.
I know, I know, but...
I just thought, you know,
it's our anniversary, and it's
Special...
But maybe... going once,
going twice...
I'm sure that one day I will
find one in my change.
Until then...
Yes, you enjoy the hunt.
Yes, I enjoy the hunt.
Okay.
Alright.
Oh, great.
They're home.
Oh, you're such a mom.
I know I am.
I'm just powerless
over my nature. Mm.
Does an accountant ever
eat a good breakfast?
Ooh, good shot ma.
Ugh, don't say "ma." It sounds
so ignorant.
Ma!
Ma ray, ma barker, ma jug,
you went out last night ma!
Okay.
Eww!
Ugh! Always blame the woman!
Well, as James Jones says in
"from here to eternity,
"God dealt women all
the best the cards.
Right between the legs."
Sexist crap!
Daddy, I can't
believe you said that!
Daddy, it
sounds so ignorant!
Bad dad.
Stop it, stop it.
So when will you be back?
Eh, it depends on the traffic.
I have to drop in on the famous
Mr. Gaines before I leave.
You're not crazy about my
secondary career as a
Kingpin collector...
But I am the best
accountant in the firm.
Yeah, no conceit
in our family.
- No.
- Don't forget to thank him for the tasteful toilet seat.
Will do. Right after I ask him for
a corner office with an ocean view.
Oh, you're bad.
You're bad. Goodbye.
Bye. You take good care of my baby.
Oh, you bet I will ma.
Love you.
I love you.
Drive safe.
I will, I always do.
Don't miss your flight.
Bye!
Call me!
Bye sweetie.
Bye.
...and although
police refuse to comment,
Sources close to the
investigation confirm that
Elements of the crime suggest
that it was the work of the
Notorious serial killer
who calls himself "Beadie."
Yes, that's right Dave. Marjorie Duvall moved
here to the picturesque town of Southgansett,
new Hampshire after
her divorce five years ago.
Co-Workers reported her
missing last Wednesday after
She failed to
show up for work.
Mrs. Duvall's body was
discovered early this morning
By a jogger in this remote
area of the abandoned south
Gansett railway station.
If this was, in fact the
work of the notorious serial
Killer, police can soon
expect to receive Mrs. Duvall's
Identification cards, along
with a taunting note from
Beadie in the mail.
About a dozen downtown
businesses were boarded up
Wednesday, and glass littered
sidewalks following two nights
Of protests over the police
shooting of an unarmed black man.
There were few people on the
streets as the arch diocese
Cancelled classes in two
inner-City roman catholic
Schools. Police urged curiosity seekers
to stay out of the...
And me and mine
have cleared a straight path
For you.
Aim here.
For the center.
Oh, no.
No.
Oh come on.
Oh, ugh, oh, poop!
Oh!
Yes, he goes, but he
never really leaves.
Let's see here...
Ow!
Ugh.
These are mine!
I was looking for these.
Male expiration.
Shit.
Shit!
That makes an even dozen.
She was tortured.
Oh my god.
Oh...
Fuck, fuck fuck!
Um...
Hi, this is Darcy.And this is bob.
We're not able to come to the phone right now,
but leave a message if you want to.
And if it's about collectible coins,
Make sure you leave a message.
Remember, change
comes from within!
If that's you handsome, uh,
get your tight little buns
Over here.
My, my husband's out of town.
Ahh, very funny.
I tried you before.
Uh, I-I-I was on
the phone with pets.
You know, she got home fine,
and, and uh,
And Donnie did too.
It's just, and she's...
Just going crazy over those,
uh, bridesmaid's dresses.
You okay?
Um, well, to quote the
famous Robert Anderson I'm...
Upright and sniffing the air.
How did it go today?
Ah, well I picked up 17 lady
liberties at a good...
Uh... no, at a great price.
As for that idiot's taxes,
the less said the better.
Oh dear.
Your voice sounds thick.
You haven't been
crying have you?
Well I just, you know...
After I talked with
pets, I just...
I started thinking
about my, my sister.
You know, she was
a year younger...
Than pets when she died.
Um...
Well honey, if I jump in the
car and turn around, I can be
Home in no time.
No no, no, no.
Don't do that.
I, after the day you've
put in, it's just a...
I'd be worried you'd fall
asleep behind the wheel.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.
In fact, um, did I, um, since
you're in Vermont anyway, did
I, did I mention that, uh,
estate sale in rutland?
Yeah, yeah yeah.
I checked it online back at the motel.
Lot 75 steel pennies.
I mean... Look, if you're okay and
I can square it with Gaines,
do you mind if I stay another day?
More time for me
and the pool boy.
Well, lock up tight.
Always.
I know you loved your sister, honey.
Yes.
Yes I did.
And I love you.
I love you.
Beadie...
Incredible as
it may seem, beadie has been
Living on this suburban
cleaves mills street since the
Late 1980s, with his wife of
25 years and two children, who
Are just now finding out that
they have grown up under the
Shadow of new England's
most notorious killer.
Or so they claim.
Many are asking how much
Darcelene Anderson knew about
Her husband's other
life as beadie.
She knew nothing!
Ask yourself if you really
need one of these tonight.
Yeah, well, I think tonight
I do.
You just had had to
fucking look, didn't you?
Any more coffee darling?
Yeah, sure.
Just a half a cup.
You know what, forget
about that coffee.
It'll just keep me up anyway.
Just the check please.
Coming up.
A slut reading a slutty novel.
Hm.
No...
Hi.
- You've been cheating
at the candy again. - Oh my...
Jesus, you scared
the life out of me.
As Moses said to the children
of Israel, "what goeth in the
Mouth today, is showeth
in the butt tomorrow."
Bob...
What are you doing here?
You're supposed
to be in Vermont.
We need to talk.
What?
You come sneaking in here at
3:30 in the morning because we
Need to talk?
I lay for a while
in that stupid motel.
After we talked.
And then I went out for
something to eat, all the
While trying to convince
myself that what I was
Thinking wasn't true.
But I didn't get to where I
got by dodging the truth, so,
I jumped in the blazer
and I hit the road.
Really?
Gosh, I don't know what
you're talking about.
I... I really, I just
don't have a clue.
It's um, and as for the candy,
you know people in glass
Houses shouldn't throw stones.
Well there you go with your
passive aggressive stuff again.
You never change.
I can read you
like a book, honey.
You're upset.
And it's my fault.
And I'm sorry from the
bottom of my heart.
You found my secret hiding
place in the garage.
I really haven't
Absolutely no idea.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You did a great job putting everything
back where it belonged, except the
box was a little to the left of where I
Usually put it.
And I love that box, because,
you know, Petra, Petra gave it to me.
And there was a
rubber band missing.
Beadie always uses
two rubber bands.
Belt and suspender rule.
But, I found it.
Uh...
Under your car.
Which, by the way, needs an
oil change,
Which you always forget.
Sometimes you can be so smart
about about some things.
And so dumb about others.
Like clearing the
search history.
You always forget to do it.
What?
The search history.
It's the first thing I
checked when I came in.
And...
Okay, I admit it.
I had a pudding cup.
So I guess I am a person
that lives in a glass house.
Really, you checked
my computer?
You dirty sneak!
Oh...
Darc, I've been
doing it for years.
I have a very bad friend that
does very bad things, and when
You're a man in
that position...
You have to stay current
on those closest to you.
And since the kids left
home, that would be you.
And you haven't just been
checking on Marjorie duvall.
You've been checking
on all of them.
Whoops!
Who's... bad friend?
What... what bad friend?
The kid I chummed around
in junior high with.
I told you about him
after we were married.
Yeah, but he's d...
Dead, yeah.
Got hit by a truck chasing
a baseball onto the street.
Poor old Brian.
You're not making sense, bob.
Ahh.
I guess you'd
have to be there.
There were these girls that
snooted us in the 8th grade.
Diane Ramage.
Laurie Svensen.
And a couple of others.
Anyway, Brian came up with
this idea that we would catch
One of them alone.
Well, maybe two.
One for each of us.
We were going to say to them
That if they fucked us real good
Like they fucked their
boyfriends on Saturday night,
We'd let them live.
And this was um...
This was all your
friend Brian's idea?
Well...
Look, those girls were snoots.
Like, like, like
Betty next door.
Did you see the way that she
was running her tits all over
Me at the party?
Well, yeah, she was drunk.
Yeah.
But Darcy, you have
to realize that...
I didn't kill those women.
Not really.
It was another person
inside my head.
I fought it for
years, the voice.
And then I just...
I just thought,
I'll do it, once.
Get it out of my head.
If I get caught, I get caught.
At least, at least it won't
be in my head anymore.
Won't have to think about it,
wonder what it would be like.
All these years, you've
been fighting him.
Is that right?
The beadie inside you?
Yeah, yeah. I have,
And I could fight him
forever if, if I thought that
There was a future for us.
If there was some way that
we could, you know, just...
Turn the page.
Well, if I don't...
I suppose that I
become Beadie's next.
Oh Darcy come on.
Honey, this is not some, some
movie where the psycho husband
Chases the screaming
wife around the house.
I would never let
beadie hurt you.
You know that, don't you?
Anyway...
Even if you were to
turn me in,
I wouldn't lift a finger.
But...
But?
You have to think
about the kids.
And you have to think
about yourself, Darcy.
Honey, you have to
think about yourself!
Who is going to believe that
you lived with me for all
These years and
you didn't know?
- I didn't...
- Didn't even suspect.
I didn't, I didn't,
I didn't, not once.
You know, and then you would
have to move, and the Anderson
Coin and collectable company
would be blackballed, I can
Promise you that.
And, you know, then
there's the kids.
They have to live with the shame
and the humiliation and...
Stop it, stop it,
don't say that!
Don't talk about them when you
talk about this!
Don't ever, just don't do it!
Okay, okay.
Can we, can we, look. Can we just put it
behind us, honey?
Oh god.
I don't know.
Hm?
Okay.
Just let me think
about it bob.
Let me think about it.
Sure, sure.
It's okay I, I...
I understand.
I'm really tired.
It was a long drive.
It was exhausting.
Could you turn out
the light honey, huh?
Would you mind?
Mm.
Stupid bitch!
Did you really think I
was going to let you live?
Did you really think I was
going to let you live, huh?
Did you really think that
I was gonna let you live?
Did you?
Huh?
Huh?
Bob?
Bob?
Bob?
I didn't kill those women.
Not really.
It was another person inside my head.
Bob?
I just thought, I'll do it, once.
Get it out of my head.
If I get caught, I get caught.
At least I won't have to think about it,
Wonder what it'd be like.
Darcy!
Darcy, I'm home!
Darc...
Pizza.
I didn't feel like cooking.
Yeah, but what about
your acid reflux?
I took a Zantac.
Okay.
Well, since we're gonna be
bad, uh, what do you say we
Have a little wine?
I'll take that as a yes.
- I'll have another.
- Wow, you took a couple of Zantacs didn't you?
That's the one you left
upstairs on the little table.
Did I?
Hm.
Must've forgot that
I had it in my hand.
I was going to cut myself an
apple, but I, I forgot the
Apple too.
You know what it's like
when you get tired.
You forget stuff.
Hm, it's mushroom.
- You have to promise me.
- What?
You have to promise me
that you're going to stop.
Yes honey, whatever you say.
The most solemn...
"Never go back on it" promise.
I do. I told you that yesterday.
And we could never
talk about this again.
I get that.
And you're not to send...
The duvall woman's
id to the police.
I need more than
promises, bobby.
You dig a hole in the woods
somewhere, and you bury that
Woman's id in it.
If I do that...
Heh.
Are we good?
Of course we are.
- You're good. - I am.
- You're going to stay that way, aren't you?
- I am.
- Mhmm.
Good, that's settled.
Go ahead and eat your pizza then.
Mm.
O-Oh, my god!
That's hot!
Don't take such big bites and
you won't burn your mouth.
Mother knows best.
Mm, oh!
Mm.
And mom, I'm still
waiting on 20 RSVPs.
And, and they're
all his relatives!
And he says that they're
coming, but how am I supposed
To know that?
Why wouldn't they RSVP? Relax honey.
Take a deep breath. The wedding
is still weeks away, okay?
Mom, I think it would've been
easier if we had just eloped.
Now that would've
broken my heart.
And your dad's, of course.
How is the old fella?
Oh, you know dad.
He's upright and
sniffing the air.
Hey, have you talked to Donnie? Are you
sure that he's cleared his schedule, because, um,
he's become this damn
success story and, just...
Pets, your brother will
be there with bells on.
And if he's not,
your dad will...
Kill him? God, I hope so.
Something like that.
Alright, I love you mom.
I love you too.
And um, stop obsessing?
Alright, I'll try.
That's a plea.
Okay.
Thanks mom.
Bye.
...our champion, sable.
Sable, and where
are you from?
Sable's from Harlem!
Isn't that wonderful?
Any luck finding the
great lost penny?
No, not yet.
But you know, all good things
come to those who wait.
This is nice.
Yeah.
It's...
How long has it been
since we've had a... a girl-Girl afternoon?
Oh, I don't know,
a couple of months?
I guess?
Mm.
That's right, because
you and bob are so tight.
Yeah.
I don't know how
you do it, darc. Honestly.
Yeah, neither do I.
Mm.
Oh, he's on the road, yeah?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
He's just in Portsmouth.
Um, some little stationary
company got their taxes all
Snarled up, you know, and, and
there's a coin show tomorrow
And, but, you know,
he'll be back tomorrow.
Oh, with him, it's
always a coin show.
- I know, I know.
- Does he actually have any other hobbies?
- Just let me clear these for you here. - No, I'm not finished.
- That's, that's alright. - I'm not done!
- Sorry.
- Right.
Darc?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, you know
it's just the wedding.
Petra keeps calling every
night, and every night there
Seems to be a new
problem and...
Shit just rolls
downhill and...
That's it, that's it.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And uh, you know I just...
I worry when
bob's on the road.
You know, when he's away.
How about dessert?
Enough.
You're right bob.
I can do it.
...friends have no knowledge
of the missing funds.
In other news, a Portsmouth
woman was found murdered in
Her apartment
late this morning.
Mikaela Blake, age 42,
had been shot three times.
Police have taken Mrs. Blake's
common-Law husband into
Custody, and sources close
to the investigation say he's confessed.
Of course, if the next one is
Beadie's,
She belongs to you, Darcy.
There's a fix-It muffler four
blocks down on Rayburn avenue.
Maybe you missed it, huh? You only
go past it every day when you go to work.
Yeah, well, you know.
They fix the problem, charge
you three times what it's
Worth, and then point
out six other things.
And then, uh, some big snooty
guy looks at you and says
"Hey, I'm just telling
you, it's your decision."
Can you hand me the
adjustable wrench?
Darcy?
You okay darc?
Um...
I saw you looking at Betty.
Yeah, well...
That skirt was pretty short.
It's hard not to look.
Well then you're going to have
to try harder, aren't you?
It's a big week
next week, huh?
Petra's big week.
You want to hand
me the adjustable?
I want to get out of here.
Thank you honey.
You're welcome.
Honey, limo's here.
I'll be down in a
couple of minutes!
I brought you
some fizzy water.
Oh, thanks.
Oh my god.
What?
What's wrong?
You look gorgeous.
Oh...
No, no, no.
None of that.
I'm going to have to fix
my mouth all over again.Hm?
But...
Thank you. Thank you.
You're very sweet.
So go on. I'll be down in just a
couple minutes.
Daddy...
Congratulations.
Quick, get a picture.
Brian, get over here.
Come here!
Donnie, alright!
Folks, ladies and gentlemen,
it's time for the father and
Daughter dance.
Let's get 'em out here.
Let's see them move,
give them some room.
Light breezes seem to
whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in
the sycamore tree
Dream a little
dream of me
Say nighty night
and kiss me
Just hold me tight and
tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone,
blue as can be
Dream a little
dream of me
Stars fading, but
I linger on dear
Okay, guys, everybody dance!
May I?
You may.
Enjoy.
Sweet dreams 'til
sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave
our worries behind you
Darcy!
You're missing your own party!
Hi, I, I'm just
rehearsing my toast.
Oh.
You'll be fine. Honey, this is a
beautiful wedding.
I'm so happy for you!
Thank you Betty.
Thank you.
Um...
Bob...
I think he, he might have
a little thing for me.
Betty...
Yes, on a, a few occasions I
have suggested that he put his
Eyes back into his head.
Okay.
I just want you to know that I
have never encouraged it and I
Never would.
Because you're my best friend.
I know that, honey.
You are such a peach.
I know.
You deserve every good thing
that's happened to you.
I'll see you later.
Okay.
Bob, what's wrong?
Nothing...
Nothing, everything
is finally right.
Oh honey...
If I was a poet, I could tell
you how grateful I am for this
Second chance.
To be here, to see
all of this, but...
I'm just a lousy, coin
collecting accountant.
So all I can say is thank you.
Thank you so much.
Come on.
We need to get back in there.
Yeah.
Mrs. Moore?
Mrs. Moore?
Are you alright?
Darcy!
Petra?
Darcy!
Darcy!
Darcy!
Darcy.
Darcy!
Darcy!
Darcy!
- What? - Darcy, you're never going to believe it?
- What? - You're never going To believe it. - You're scaring the Jesus out of me, what?
Pick a hand.
- What? I don't want to play games, bob, what...
- come on come on come on, pick, pick, pick, pick!
You read my mind.
But you always could.
Found it in the change bear.
Y-You just found this?
Let me see this.
I was just going
through the change.
Oh my gosh. How many years
have you been searching for this?
Since I was 14 years old.
Oh!
Isn't it great?
I know.
I'm so happy for you.
So, what do you think?
Is it fine or very fine?
You're the expert?
Eh, I'd love to say VF, but...
I know, I know, I know.
- But it's better than VG.
- Oh, definitely better than VG.
Definitely. You know what,
if your dad was here,
he would be cracking open
a bottle of champagne.
I just know it.
Well, I will take care of that
tonight at pearl of the shore.
Oh, bob.
I, I don't know.
Come on, come on.
Put on your prettiest dress...
I will buy as much
champagne as you can drink.
Well, How about as much
champagne as you can drink,
and I'll drive home?
It's your find, after all.
Deal.
Oh!
Woo!
Alright, one more time!
Whoa!
Yes!
Am I going to get to
be a naughty boy, huh?
Oh, you might, you might.
Come here, come here...
Oh, I'm going to go upstairs and
I'm going to get
out of this dress.
And if you bring me some fizzy
water and a wedge of lime,
You just might get lucky mister.
But...
It will cost you.
How much?
For you?
Just a penny.
Wait...
Mhmm.
Oh!
For safekeeping.
I want you on top, alright?
Yes.
With the mirror.
Hey now, hurry up, hurry
up you naughty boy.
Here I come, ready or not!
Are you my bad bad girl?
Are you my naughty boy?
W...
Why did you push me?
Maybe it was
female exploration.
I so hoped that the
fall would kill you.
I knew it might not.
Agh!
Yeah, here I am, bobby!
Oh, I'm on top.
Just the way you
like it, right?
Right?
Okay.
That's fine.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I'm fine.
9-1-1, what's your emergency? Hello, this
is Darcelene Anderson calling from 24 sugar mill lane.
My husband just fell
down the stairs and I...
I just, I think I
might, he might be dead.
Ma'am, I'm going to need you
to go over and check to see if
He's breathing.
I already have help on the way.
For I am the resurrection
and the life.
And he who believeth on me,
even if he die,
Yet shall he live.
So we commit thy servant,
Robert Anderson,
To the ground.
In the sure belief that the
good works of his honest life
Will recommend him to thee
on the day of judgment.
Hang in mom.
Almost finished.
Would the family
like to approach?
Rest in peace, pop.
Miss you, dad.
They were very special to me.
Then why didn't you
put them in the coffin?
I forgot, pets.
But, hush.
May the lord bless
you and keep you.
May the lord raise
up his face upon you.
Nice dress.
If it was any shorter
you could see her a... don't you, ever.
Ever!
She's just upset.
Boy, is she ever.
Do you think there's
any booze in that limo?
I could use a drink.
Yeah, I'm buying.
Ah, thank you so
much Mrs. Anderson.
God bless you.
Mhmm, you too father.
You're very welcome.
Some good comes of
our greatest losses.
If you say so.
Hello.
Mrs. Anderson.
Yes.
Can I help you?
Yeah, I...
Whoops.
Oh.
Well thank you.
Holt Ramsey.
I'm with the office of the
state's attorney general.
Does ret mean you're retired?
Heh, well, I'm an old dog.
They toss me a bone now
and then, I chew on it.
Oh.
I think I've seen you.
Have you been here before?
According to the
Hindus, we all have.
Yes.
Um, what can I do
for you Mr. Ramsey? Inside would be better.
Oh...
My, this is...
A lovely home you
have here missus.
Look, a place for everything,
and everything in its place.
My wife would have approved.
How I miss her.
Just the way I imagine
I miss your husband.
Yes.
Um...
What may I do for
you, Mr. Ramsey?
I'm sorry, or is it
detective Ramsey?
Heh, donkey ears since
anyone called me "detective."
No, you go straight to Holt.
That'll do me just fine.
But, the thing is, I get
bored, just the TV for
Company, so I thought to
myself "I'll, what the hell,
I'll take that drive down to
cleaves mills and I'll just
Ask a few of my
little questions."
Here.
Have a look.
Turn it over.
Oh, I see you do know my name.
Indeed I do.
Both your names.
Uh, bob, Darcy.
BD.
Beadie.
Look at you.
Look at you both.
Rubbing our noses in it the
whole time, weren't you?
I'm sorry.
There are twelve women
who are dead missus...
I'm surprised you
can laugh at that.
Um, sit down right
there, and just be quiet.
Troublesome man.
Never touch that stuff.
You know you're crazy.
Could be.
But I noticed you haven't
asked me to leave yet.
I mean...
Agh, I probably don't have
much of a case, you know that.
Mm, you have no case.
Doesn't matter, missus.
There are ways,
and there are ways.
Once I come upon this
fella, way far upstate.
Killed his wife, two kiddies.
Tried to make it look
like home invasion.
I chewed on that old bone.
Got a taste for it.
Chewed that bone 'til the
fella got nervous and he ran.
Mhmm?
And what happened to him.
I chased him.
Right up into the
Haynesville woods.
You know?
Where the song says there's
a tombstone every mile.
Well, he crashed. And I crashed right
after him, and that's how I got this leg,
not to mention this steel
rod that I got in my neck.
Mm, I can tell you when
it's going to rain.
And the kid that
you were chasing?
What did he get?
He got death.
Burned to death in his car.
Saved the state...
40-50 years room and
board in Shawshank.
You are quite the hound of
heaven, aren't you Mr. Ramsey?
"I fled him down the
night and down the day."
"I fled him down the
arches and veers."
"I fled him down the
labyrinthine ways."
And so on.
Did you learn that in school?
Methodist youth fellowship.
Oh.
I won't let you ruin
my children's lives.
Well, if you think about
it missus,
It wasn't me put ruin in their
way.
You think about it.
Go ahead if you
want to, but...
I don't think you'll
get away with it twice.
What's the worst thing
that you ever did?
Come on.
Two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead.
And you'll be dead
soon enough, won't you?
Huh.
You recall that fella
I told you about?
The one who killed
his wife and kids?
Mm.
Well, after he wrapped his
mustang around a tree, I...
I just sat and I
listened to the screams.
For quite a while.
Finally they stopped.
And then I called it in.
And who else knows?
Only you.
Because...
People wouldn't
understand, would they?
Tell me something...
Just what was it that you...
Threw into the grave.
They were the earrings
that my husband...
Gave me for my
25th anniversary.
They were fish earrings
because I was a Pisces,
He said.
And you know, they belonged
to Marjorie duvall.
He raped her.
And he murdered her.
And stole her earrings,
and gave them to me.
And I thought, "oh, he's
just so thoughtful."
Marjorie duvall's id
was, uh, in this box.
The box that his daughter
made him for a school project.
He promised to stop.
Did you believe him?
No.
But I needed time to,
uh, to think, and um...
I wanted to spare my children.
You didn't come
here to kill me.
You never would've
brought this if you had.
There's one thing that
I can't quite get by.
The initials.
B-D.
Beadie.
Beadie was something else.
When my husband was a boy, he
had a friend
Who was killed in an accident.
It was a boy with...
Fantasies.
His name was Brian Delahanty.
I guess he didn't like his
first name very much, because
When my husband was a kid,
he used to call him...
BD...
Would you have caught him?
Oh yeah.
It's blurred, like
it's two pennies.
Yeah.
Some people are that way too.
I'll go now.
And uh...
You'll do what you have to do.
Missus.
The only thing I have to do...
Is pay my taxes.
It's not for me to punish you.
You know your kids are gonna
talk about how much they miss
Dear old...
Dad.
And tell their grandkids about
what a fine fella grandpa was.
You're just going to
sit there and listen.
Nod, smile...
Once in a while, even have to
talk about the good old days.
Mm.
I can live with that.
Darcy.
Come over here, close to me.
You did the right thing.
Now would you mind putting
my music on for me?
All you big
and burly men
Who roll the
trucks along
You'd better listen,
you'll be thankful
When you hear my song.
You have really
got it made
If you're hauling goods
Any place on earth
But those
Haynesville woods
It's a stretch of
road up north in Maine
That's never ever
ever seen a smile
And if they buried all the
truckers lost in them woods
There'd be a
tombstone every mile
It's a stretch of
road up north in Maine
That's never, ever,
ever seen a smile
And if they buried all the
truckers lost them woods
There'd be a
tombstone every mile.
Count 'em all, there'd
be a tombstone every mile
When you're talking to a
trucker that's been
hauling goods
Down the stretch of
road in Maine they call the
Haynesville woods
He'll tell you that dying
and going down below
Won't be half as bad as driving
on the road of ice and snow
It's a stretch of
road up north in Maine
That's never ever
ever seen a smile
And if they buried all the
truckers lost in them woods
There'd be a tombstone
every mile, count em all
There'd be a tombstone
Every
Mile
I can see you smile
And I can hear you
Say hello
You're everywhere I go
Such is my love
Even though I try
I can't forget
the way you sigh
My heart can't
help but cry
Such is my love
I just go on
Longing for your kisses
Still thrilling
to your charms
I never spend a day
without dreaming
You're right
here in my arms
If you only knew
The restless nights
my heart goes through
I'm helpless, what to do
How can I hide
The tears I keep inside
Such is my love
Such is my love
The tears I keep inside
Such is my love
