Murder, She Baked: A Peach Cobbler Mystery (2016) Movie Script

MOST OF US MAKE
A HUNDRED CHOICES A DAY.
SOMETIMES, WE KNOW
WHEN THE CHOICE WILL TAKE
OUR LIVES IN A NEW DIRECTION,
LIKE MY DECISION
TO OPEN A BAKERY.
BUT SOMETIMES,
WE HAVE NO IDEA
THAT CHOICE WILL BE SIGNIFICANT.
LIKE MY DECISION TO BAKE
A PEACH COBBLER.
HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN
THAT INNOCENT CHOICE
WOULD LEAD TO DISASTER?
MELANIE?
MELANIE, IT'S...
IT'S HANNAH.
I JUST...
WANTED TO MAKE SURE...
EVERYTHING WAS OKAY.
YOU LEFT YOUR LIGHTS ON.
MELANIE?
MELANIE!
MELANIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
MELANIE, YOU BETTER
HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON
FOR NOT CALLING ME BACK.
MIKE!
SHE'S BEEN SHOT!
WHAT?
HANNAH, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SHOULD I DO THIS ONE,
OR THAT ONE?
PASS THE TAPE.
LOOK!
MRS. NORTON,
GOING IN THE MAGNOLIA
BLOSSOM BAKERY.
SHE'S NEARSIGHTED.
MAYBE SHE'S JUST LOST?
MAYBE SHE'S JUST EXCITED
THAT THERE'S A NEW BAKERY
IN TOWN.
I THINK
IT'S THE FREE COFFEE...
OR MAYBE IT'S THE BUY-ONE
GET-ONE-FREE COUPONS.
ANDREA!
YOU LOOK GREAT!
HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?
ALMOST FIVE MONTHS.
WERE YOU WITH THE MAYOR
AND HIS WIFE THIS MORNING?
OH, YES,
LAST MINUTE DETAILS.
YOU SHOULD SEE
THE CHURCH.
WHAT? NO.
NONE FOR YOU.
OH, PLEASE...
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD
DO THIS PROFESSIONALLY,
AND YOU COULD BE
A WEDDING PLANNER, TOO,
AND AN INTERIOR DESIGNER.
WHY NOT?
YOU KNOW,
I LOVE DOING THIS WEDDING,
BUT I ONLY DID IAS A FAVOR FOR THIS FAMILY.
WHO EXACTLY IS GOING TO BE
YOUR DATE FOR THE WEDDING?
MIKE, I HOPE.
WELL, HE HASN'T ASKED.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF HE WALKED
RIGHT INTO THE MAGNOLIA
BLOSSOM BAKERY
AND ASKED MELANIE.
EVERYONE KNOWS
MIKE LIKES YOU.
I'M WILLING TO BEMIKE WOULDN'T EVEN SET FOOIN THE MAG...
NOLIA... BLOSSOM... BAKERY.
WHAT?
WELL...
WHAT?
MELANIE...
INTERESTING.
I... MAY HAVE TOLD BILL
TO GO CHECK OUTHE COMPETITION.
YOU TELL MIKE THAT, TOO?
THEY'RE LOOKING
AWFULLY COZY TO ME.
OH...
COME TAKE THESE COOKIES
FROM ANDREA
BEFORE SHE EATS
ALL OUR MERCHANDISE.
HELLO, MY DEARS.
TWO VALENTINE SPECIALS, PLEASE.
WE ARE ON A COFFEE BREAK.
DOUGLAS HAS BEEN
BUILDING SHELVES
AT MY STORE ALL DAY.
TURNS OUT HE'S NOT ONLY
MARVELOUSLY HANDSOME,
BUT MARVELOUSLY HANDY
TOO, AREN'T YOU?
AND MARVELOUSLY WRAPPED
AROUND YOUR LITTLE FINGER.
UGH...
SO CUTE...
GUESS THEY'RE GOING STEADY NOW.
ONLINE DATING
CLEARLY WORKS.
WELL, BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW I FEEL ABOUMOTHER WITH HIM.
I KNOW.
WELL...
I DON'T THINK IT'S HIM.
I THINK IT'S THE WAY
SHE ACTS AROUND HIM.
NOPE...
IT'S CALLED HAPPINESS, DARLING.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY.
SPEAKING OF WHICH,
I AM GOING
TO TRY TWO BLUE HEAVENS...
TO MATCH HIS EYES.
OH, MOTHER...
TWO BLUE HEAVENS
COMING UP.
HA!
YOU'RE GLORIA TRAVIS!
COME MEETHE TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS QUEEN!
I RECOGNIZE YOU
FROM THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS.
I JUST STARTED SELLING
TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS LAST WEEK!
OH, HOW WONDERFUL.
OH, GLORIA TRAVIS!
I READ AN ONLINE
PROFILE ABOUT YOU
IN MINNESOTA
WOMEN MAGAZINE.
I'M DELORES SWENSEN,
AND THIS IS MY WONDERFUL
NEW SWEETHEART, DOUGLAS.
- PLEASURE.
- MS. TRAVIS.
MOTHER, HERE ARE
YOUR COOKIES.
OH, THANK YOU...
AND THESE ARE
MY TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS,
HANNAH AND ANDREA...
- HELLO.
- GOOD MORNING!
OH, AND LOOK!
HERE IS OUR MAYOR.
MAYOR BASCOMB, PLEASE,
MEET GLORIA TRAVIS.
GLORIA TRAVIS!
YEAH, WE SPOKE
ON THE PHONE.
SO YOU'RE HAVING YOUR COMPANY
RETREAT HERE AFTER ALL?
YES,
AND NOW, I'M HERE
TO ORDER A TRAY OF GOODIES
TO HAVE WAITING FOR MY PEOPLE
WHEN THEY ARRIVE ON SUNDAY.
- I'LL GO GET YOU AN ORDER FORM.
- THANK YOU.
NOTHING SAYS
"WELCOME TO EDEN LAKE"
LIKE HANNAH'S COOKIES.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
MY VERY FAVORITE, OKAY?
OH. OKAY.
TOTALLY WORTH
THE CALORIES.
CHOCOLATE OVERLOAD BARS.
CHOCOLATE'S MY FAVORITE.
OH! MS. TRAVIS!
I WAS JUST THINKING...
WHY DON'T YOU COME
TO MY DAUGHTER'S WEDDING
ON SATURDAY?
THE RECEPTION IS GOING
TO BE AT THE INN.
THE FOOD IS GOING
TO BE AMAZING.
OH, THAT'S SO KIND.
I DO HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO
TO PREPARE FOR THE RETREAT,
BUT I WILL CERTAINLY TRY.
WELL, YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME.
THANK YOU.
SO, DOES ANYONE ELSE
HAVE A RECOMMENDATION?
EVERYTHING
IS TERRIFIC.
WELL, IT WAS LOVELY
CHATTING WITH YOU!
SEE YOU AT THE WEDDING!
OKAY!
THAT'S CURIOUS...
NOT VERY BUSY TODAY, HANNAH.
YEAH, WELL,
THERE SEEMS TO BE
A LOT OF INTERESFOR THE NEW BAKERY
ACROSS THE STREET.
OH, THE MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM?
WHAT DO THEY HAVE
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE?
FREE COFFEE!
SPECIAL FOR TODAY!
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAVEN'T BEEN OVER.
NO, WE WOULDN'T DREAM
OF STEPPING OVER THERE,
WOULD WE?
THAT'S NONSENSE.
HOW CAN YOU BATTLE
YOUR COMPETITION
IF YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE SELLING?
WHY NOT DO IT?
WHY NOT GO OVER THERE
AND CHECK IT OUT?
YOU ALL CAN GO AHEAD.
I'LL HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE
BECAUSE
IT IS ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE
TO MAKE
A BETTER COOKIE THAN THIS.
THANK YOU, DOUGLAS.
WELL, ONWARD!
- YOU WARM ENOUGH?
- HEY, HANNAH!
OH, NORMAN!
WHAT IS THIS, AN INVASION?
I'LL BE YOUR WINGMAN.
OH! GOOD!
I'M GLAD YOU LEARNED TO
DRIVE WITH ONE ARM, THEN.
NORMAN, WHAHAPPENED TO YOUR ARM?
OH, NOTHING, I...
GOT IN A FIGHT WITH SOME ICE,
AND THE ICE WON.
HE DID NOT!
HE WAS MENTORING THOSE BOYS,
AND YOU GOT...
WHAT'S IT CALLED? CROSS-CHECKED?
YES.
IT'S NOT VERY INVITING.
LOT OF PINK.
WOW.
HELLO, LINDA.
HANNAH!
IT IS SO, SO...
SO, SO, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.
HI, MELANIE.
I WAS HOPING YOU'D TAKE ME UP
ON MY INVITATION
TO COME IN FOR A VISIT.
YEAH...
YOU KNOW, HANNAH HERE
IS MY INSPIRATION
FOR OPENING A BAKERY OF MY OWN.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
THAT'S REALLY SWEET.
- MR. MAYOR!
- HELLO.
IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!
HOW IS SOPHIE?
OH, SHE'S FINE.
PLEASE TELL HER
I SAID HELLO.
I WILL.
MIKE TOLD ME
HOW MUCH HE LOVED YOUR PLACE,
BUT SOMETIMES,
IT'D BE TOO CROWDED FOR HIM
TO FIND A PLACE TO SIT.
SO I THOUGHT, OKAY,
THIS TOWN NEEDS ANOTHER BAKERY
SO PEOPLE CAN SIT...
AND I CAN GIVE THEM CHAIRS
THAT ARE ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE.
I'D JUST LOVE
TO SHOW YOU MY KITCHEN. COME.
COME ON BACK.
I'LL BRING HER
RIGHT BACK, I PROMISE.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE IT.
I-I'LL BE RIGHBACK, MOTHER.
TOODLE-OOH!
"TOODLE-OOH!"
AH... HERE WE ARE!
OH, WOW.
THOSE LOOK GREAT.
OH, YOU HAVE
A HOBART LEGACY MIXER!
I'VE BEEN DREAMING
OF SAVING UP ENOUGH MONEY
FOR ONE OF THESE.
MM, GOOD LUCK.
IT COST A FORTUNE...
BUT LIKE MY SISTER SAID,
IF I WANT TO HAVE
THE BEST BAKERY IN TOWN,
I SHOULD HAVE
THE BEST EQUIPMENT.
WASN'T VANESSA GENEROUS,
TO FINANCE THIS PLACE?
SHE HANDLES THE BOOKS
WHILE I HANDLE THE BAKING.
WHAT WOULD WE DO
WITHOUT SISTERS, HUH?
I THINK VANESSA
NEEDED TO START A BUSINESS
EVEN MORE THAN I DID.
SHE'S BEEN SO DEPRESSED
SINCE HER HUSBAND DIED.
I SEE.
UH, I HAD NO IDEA THASHE HAD A BUSINESS BACKGROUND.
OH, SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN
A WIZ WITH MONEY...
SO...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY
ANY OF MY SCRUMPTIOUS GOODIES?
SURE!
WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE DESSERT?
HER SOUTHERN PEACH COBBLER.
FROM MY GEORGIAN
GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE.
SHE THINKS GRANNY
GIVING HER THAT RECIPE
MEANS GRANNY
LIKED HER BETTER.
NO, SHE KNEW
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT AN OVEN
EVEN LOOKS LIKE.
WHATEVER.
POT CALLING THE KETTLE
BLACK, MELANIE.
MIKE JUST LOVES MY COBBLER.
HE HAD SOME THIS MORNING.
I'LL TAKE A WHOLE PAN.
WELL, THAT WAS INTERESTING.
MM, THE CUPCAKE'S FINE,
BUT IT'S NOTHING SPECIAL.
AGREED.
MY CAKE'S A LITTLE DRY.
MM-HMM.
CAN'T SAY AS I UNDERSTAND
THIS CROWD,
EVEN IF THE COFFEE'S FREE.
WELL, IT'S NOT JUSTHE FREE COFFEE.
I SAW SOMEONE
IN THERE
WITH A BUY-ONE
GET-TWO-FREE COUPON.
- NO WAY!
- YOU'RE KIDDING?
WELL, I THINK THEY WERE
ALL EATING THAT COBBLER,
SO MAYBE IT'S DELICIOUS.
TOO BAD YOU DON'T MAKE
A COBBLER, HANNAH.
WE COULD COMPARE.
YEAH, YOU SHOULD MAKE ONE.
WE COULD HAVE A TASTE TEST.
OOH!
A BAKE-OFF!
NOW, THAT WOULD BE FUN.
OH, WOULDN'T IT, THOUGH?
HUH? SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?
YEAH, HANNAH.
SURE, I'LL MAKE A COBBLER.
ARE YOU ALL AVAILABLE
TO COME BACK AT 5:00
TO TRY IT?
IT'LL BE THE HIGHLIGHOF MY RESUME, BAKE-OFF JUDGE!
- THANKS, MAYOR!
- SEE YA!
WELL, I'LL SHOW UP,
BUT I ALREADY KNOW
YOURS IS GOING TO BE BETTER.
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE?
I'M A MAN OF SCIENCE, HANNAH.
IT'S AN EDUCATED HYPOTHESIS.
SEE YOU LATER, NORMAN.
THE CRUSIS NOT DOING IT FOR ME.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DRY
ON THE CRUST ON THAT ONE.
MM-HMM.
OKAY, OKAY,
SO IS EVERYONE READY TO VOTE?
- YES!
- OH, HONEY...
LISA, YOU'RE FIRST.
BLUE.
'KAY. NORMAN?
BLUE.
YUP, I'M--
I'M THINKING THE BLUE.
FOR BETTER OR WORSE,
HANNAH, BLUE HERE.
BLUE.
I'VE GOT TO GO, TOO,
FOR BLUE.
YUP. YUP.
BLUE ALL DAY.
THIS IS UNANIMOUS
FOR THE BLUE?
- OH, HANNAH.
- READY TO FIND OUT?
MM-HMM.
TA-DAH!
I KNEW IT!
HANNAH, IT'S
YOUR CRUST THAT MAKES IT, HONEY.
SERIOUSLY, IT'S JUSMELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH.
- THANKS, MOTHER!
- JUST DELICIOUS.
MELANIE'S TASTES FAMILIAR
TO ME, TOO.
I THOUGHTHE SAME THING,
BUT I CAN'QUITE PLACE IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT, HANNAH,
I THINK I'D BETTER ORDER
TWO PANS OF THE COBBLER
FOR MY DAUGHTER'S
WEDDING REHEARSAL TOMORROW.
I'VE GOT TO GO.
UH OH, I'M LATE, TOO.
YOU WON
FAIR AND SQUARE, HONEY.
PROUD OF YOU.
THANK YOU, MOTHER.
AND I'M GOING
TO GET TO WORK.
GUESS WE HAVE SOME COBBLERS
TO MAKE.
NO CONTEST.
THANKS, NORMAN.
THANK YOU FOR
ANOTHER GOOD DAY.
THANK YOU.
HEY!
DON'T TELL ME I'M TOO LATE
FOR THE TASTE TEST?
YOU LOOK VERY FAMILIAR TO ME.
DO I KNOW YOU?
WAIT. HOLD ON.
YOU MEAN...
I'M NOT UNFORGETTABLE,
AND MY MOTHER MISLED ME?
BECAUSE...
MY PEACH COBBLER'S OVER THERE
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO TRY IT.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
NICE.
WHAT'S WITH
ALL THE JACKETS AND...
WHAT,
ARE YOU JACKET-HOARDING?
WELL, THE HEATER
IN MY TRUCK
IS BUSTED,
SO IF I DON'T LAYER UP,
I FREEZE.
YOU KNOW,
THERE'S THESE GUYS
THAT CAN HELP YOU
WITH THAT.
THEY'RE CALLED
AUTO MECHANICS.
YEAH, WELL,
THOSE GUYS COST MONEY,
AND I'M A BIT SHORT ON THAT LATELY...
'CAUSE BUSINESS
HAS BEEN A BIT SLOW
BECAUSE OF THE NEW BAKERY
IN TOWN.
OH! THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU KNOW
ALL ABOUT THAT PLACE.
SAW YOU WALKING OUT OF THERE
THIS MORNING.
SO THERE IS SUCH A THING
AS BAKER'S ENVY?
THERE'S ALSO SUCH A THING
AS CUSTOMER LOYALTY.
POINT TAKEN.
ARE YOU GOING
TO TRY THE COBBLER, OR WHAT?
WELL?
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I AM STILL
YOUR VERY LOYAL CUSTOMER.
WHAT ABOUT THE COBBLER?
I JUST FELT RESPONSIBLE
TO HELP HER GET SET UP IN TOWN.
THE REASON
THAT SHE MOVED TO EDEN LAKE
WAS 'CAUSE I SAID
HOW GREAT IT IS TO LIVE HERE.
WELL, DID YOU ALSO SAY
HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE
FOR HER TO OPEN
A BAKERY IN TOWN?
NO, SEE, I THOUGHI'D TALKED HER OUT OF THAT,
BUT I GUESS HER SISTER
TALKED HER BACK INTO IT...
BUT I DID CONVINCE HER
NOT TO SELL ANY COOKIES...
ALTHOUGH...
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING
INTO THE COBBLER BUSINESS?
I AM NOT GOING
INTO THE COBBLER BUSINESS.
I WANTED TO KNOW
IF I COULD...
BAKE A BETTER DESSERT?
DID I?
WHAT I REALLY WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUWAS, UM... THE WEDDING.
I VOLUNTEERED
TO WORK THAT NIGHSO THE GUYS THAT ARE REALLY
CLOSE TO THE GROOM
COULD, YOU KNOW, GO.
THAT IS VERY NICE OF YOU.
YEAH, WELL,
I'M A NICE GUY...
AND I FIGURE
I'LL BE DONE AROUND 8:00,
AND THEN I'D LIKE TO GO
TO THE RECEPTION AFTERWARDS.
UM... SO I GUESS I'M HERE,
ASKING YOU IF YOU WOULD...
SAVE A DANCE FOR ME?
OH.
YEAH.
I'D LOVE TO.
I MEAN, DANCE.
MIKE, WHAT ABOUT THE COBBLER?
MEN.
OH, YOU KNOW WHAI WANTED TO TELL YOU?
NO CONTESWITH THE COBBLER.
YOURS IS PERFECT.
MOISHE, COME AND GET IT!
DINNERTIME, KITTY.
COME HERE, MOISHE.
YOU'RE SUCH A GOOD CAT.
YOU'RE SO RELIABLE.
NOT LIKE THAT MIKE KINGSTON.
NEVER RELIABLE.
YOU THINK I SHOULD BELIEVE HIM
WHEN HE SAYS THAT HE AND MELANIE
ARE JUST FRIENDS?
WOULD MIKE SAY
THAT HE LOVES THIS COBBLER
IF HE AND MELANIE
WERE JUST FRIENDS?
WAIT A MINUTE.
HANNAH?
ALL RIGHT, WELL...
THIS IS IT.
MOISHE.
YUP.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS MELANIE'S
PEACH COBBLER!
ARE WE HERE YET?
IT'S FREEZING!
YES, WE ARE HERE.
I GET IT. I GET IT.
YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THATHIS WHOLE TIME.
I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN MYSELF
IF I KNEW YOU WERE GOING
TO PICK ME UP
IN YOUR FROZEN POPSICLE WAGON.
SO I SAID YES TO A DANCE...
WITHOUT EVEN THINKING.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW I FEEL ABOUT MIKE,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW MIKE FEELS ABOUT ME,
FOR THAT MATTER.
I MEAN, HE NEVER TALKS
TO ME ABOUT HIS WIFE.
CAN YOU CARRY THAT ONE?
YEAH.
MAYBE HE'S JUST NOT READY
TO, YOU KNOW, MOVE ON, RIGHT?
BILL SAYS
MIKE NEVER TALKS
ABOUT HIS WIFE EITHER.
I MEAN, HE MUST TALK
TO MELANIE, THOUGH,
BECAUSE SHE WAS FRIENDS
WITH BOTH OF THEM.
OH, THAT'S RIGHT, SHE WAS.
MAYBE THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING.
MAYBE HE'S TALKING TO MELANIE
ABOUT HIS WIFE.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S IT!
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH MELANIE,
IT'S TO DO WITH HIS WIFE.
YEAH.
OH! MELANIE!
ANDREA!
WHAT A SURPRISE!
I KNEW THE WEDDING PLANNER
WOULD BE HERE.
I HAD NO IDEA
I'D BE SEEING YOU, HANNAH.
YEAH, HI.
DID YOU BRING DESSERT?
YES, I DID!
OH!
HI...
HI.
UM... ANDREA, HANNAH...
I AM SO SORRY.
MY WIFE AND I DIDN'T COMMUNICATE
VERY WELL TODAY, AND...
MAYOR, IT'S NO PROBLEM.
I'M HAPPY TO TAKE THIS...
OH, NO, NO, NO,
YOU COME ON IN.
I JUST FORGOT TO TELL HER
THAT I ORDERED
FROM THE COOKIE JAR LAST NIGHT,
AND SHE FORGOT TO MENTION
THAT SHE BOUGHFROM THE MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM, SO...
BUT I'M SURE
ALL OUR GUESTS WILL ENJOY
THIS EMBARRASSMENOF RICHES.
OH, ANDREA,
OUR LITTLE WEDDING ANGEL...
- YOU LOOK FABULOUS.
- THANK YOU. SO DO YOU.
- ONE DAUGHTER?
- WE HOPE.
AND HANNAH, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE
WHAT YOU BROUGHT US.
OH, WELL,
THE MAYOR ASKED ME
TO BRING TWO PANS
OF PEACH COBBLER.
HE DID?
YES!
I HAD NO IDEA
THE COOKIE JAR
CARRIED COBBLER.
YEAH, UH, WELL,
WE DON'T NORMALLY.
OF COURSE YOU DON'T.
PEACH COBBLER
IS A SOUTHERN DISH.
WELL, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IF YOU DON'T HAVE
A GENUINE SOUTHERN RECIPE
LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER'S,
WELL...
YOU COULD EMBARRASS YOURSELF.
I THINK
YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED!
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
YOU'RE JUST A DECORATOR.
OKAY, NO, ANDREA,
WE ARE NOT ENGAGING.
HANNAH SAYS
SHE KNOWS FOR A FACTHAT YOU SELL
FROZEN PRE-MADE PEACH COBBLER!
AND NO WONDER
YOUR KITCHEN LOOKS SO UNUSED.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO BAKE!
ANDREA...
UH, DIDN'T...
SHE DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
HANNAH, ARE YOU TELLING PEOPLE
THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BAKE?
NO, I WAS JUST HAVING
A PRIVATE CONVERSATION
WITH MY SISTER.
I AM SO SORRY.
I'M JUST GOING TO...
I'LL BE OVER HERE.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YOU DO THAT,
I'M GOING TO GO GET MY STUFF
AND THEN WE'LL GO.
HOW ABOUT THAT?
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
NO, NO, NO.
IF THE MAYOR WANTED YOU
TO BRING YOURS,
THEN THEY DON'NEED MINE TONIGHT,
SO I'LL JUST PACK THIS UP...
PLEASE! COME ON!
NO, NO, IT'S FINE...
BECAUSE I'LL BAKE
A NEW ONE FOR YOU,
FOR THE WEDDING RECEPTION.
I'LL BAKE THREE...
AND I'LL BRING THEM,
AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW
THAT I DO BAKE...
AND THAT I AM A REAL...
BAKER.
LISA, WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME?
YOU'VE GOT TO GET READY
FOR THE WEDDING.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TELL ME TWICE.
SEE YOU LATER.
MOTHER, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
DON'T YOU HAVE TO GET READY
FOR THE WEDDING?
OH! YES, WE DO.
WE'VE JUST BEEN
SO ENTERTAINED
WATCHING WHAT'S GOING ON
ACROSS THE STREET.
WHY? WHAT'S HAPPENING?
THE TWINS ARE RUNNING AROUND
IN BLIND PANIC.
THEY DROPPED A BAG
OF FLOUR ON THE SIDEWALK.
- WHAT, REALLY?
- YEAH.
THEY JUST BROUGHT IN
ANOTHER ONE.
WELL, IF THEY HAVEN'EVEN STARTED YET,
THEY'RE GOING
TO MISS THE CEREMONY.
ESPECIALLY IF
THEY'VE GOTO CLEAN THEMSELVES UP.
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE
WHAT THEY BRING TO THE WEDDING.
THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE DOING OVER THERE.
SEE YOU
AT THE CHURCH, HONEY.
YEAH, SEE YOU THERE.
OH, MY GOSH.
MELANIE!
HANNAH, I NEED YOU
TO COME OVER
TO THE MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM.
IT'S AN EMERGENCY...
A BAKING EMERGENCY!
PLEASE!
WILL YOU LOOK
AT MY CRUST?
WHY IS IT DOING THIS?
I'M FOLLOWING
THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY.
WELL,
CRUST CAN BE TRICKY.
NO, CRUST IS EVIL!
I'VE BEEN ATHIS FOR HOURS,
TRYING TO MAKE PEACH
COBBLER FROM SCRATCH,
TO PROVE THAT I CAN DO IT.
VANESSA'S BEEN USELESS.
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT ME.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO BAKE A THING.
WELL, I...
I ADMIT, I'VE BEEN
A JEALOUS JERK TO YOU...
BUT I CAN'T BRING THIS MESS
OF A COBBLER TO THE WEDDING.
IT'LL KILL THIS BAKERY...
AND VANESSA WILL BE FURIOUS.
SHE NEEDS US TO STAY OPEN
AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR MONTHS,
BUT IF YOU HELP ME
WITH THIS,
I PROMISE YOU,
I'LL SHUT THE WHOLE PLACE
DOWN BY EASTER.
YOU'LL BE THE ONLY BAKERY
IN TOWN AGAIN.
WILL YOU HELP ME, PLEASE?
PLEASE?
YES, OF COURSE,
I WILL HELP YOU, I...
THANK YOU!
YEAH...
AND IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT,
BUT I DON'T WANT TO HELP YOU
JUST SO THAT YOU CLOSE DOWN.
IF I CAN'T COMPETE
AND KEEP MY BUSINESS THRIVING,
THAT'S ON ME, NOT YOU.
OH, I'M GOING TO SHUT DOWN.
PRETENDING TO BAKE
IS WAY TOO MUCH WORK.
RIGHT, WELL,
FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO IS,
GET YOUR HAIR
OUT OF THE WAY.
CAN YOU PUT IT UP?
I'LL PUT IT UP.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING
TO PUT YOUR HAIR UP,
AND LET'S USE
A DIFFERENT TOPPING.
YOU KNOW, CRUST IS TOUGH,
SO LET'S DO, LIKE,
A CRUMBLE OR...
NO! IT HAS TO BE A CRUST,
SO IT MATCHES THE COBBLER
THAT WE SELL HERE.
SURE. OF COURSE.
DO YOU HAVE COLD BUTTER?
UH-HUH.
OKAY. OKAY.
I'M OFF TO THE AIRPORT.
YOU MEAN ABANDONING ME
IN MY HOUR OF NEED.
THE ESTATE WORKS LAWYER
SAID IT'S URGENT.
NEIL'S WRETCHED NIECE
IS TRYING TO...
HELLO, VANESSA.
HANNAH.
MELANIE, I TOLD YOU
TO TAKE OFF THAT DRESS
UNTIL YOU'RE FINISHED
THE COBBLER.
IT'S COUTURE, AND
YOU'RE RUINING IT!
I PUT ON AN APRON.
AND YOU WONDER WHY GRANNY SAID
I GOT ALL THE BRAINS.
THEN HOW COME I'M THE ONE
WHO WENT TO COLLEGE?
I JUST LOVE DRIVING HER CRAZY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CLEAN BOWLS?
OKAY,
SO YOU JUST HAVE TO...
WHY DON'T YOU DO IAT THE SAME TIME?
OKAY.
YOU, UM, WEAVE THE LATTICE
TOGETHER, RIGHT, OVER AND UNDER.
YEAH, EXACTLY.
NOW I GET WHY MIKE
IS INTERESTED IN YOU.
HE'S CRAZY FOR SWEETS.
THE FIRST TIME
I EVER SAW HIM,
HE WAS IN THE DINING HALL
NEAR MY DORM.
HE HAD A TRAY STACKED
WITH FIVE BROWNIES.
OH, I HAD
THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HIM.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
FRIENDS WITH HIS WIFE?
WE WERE
ALL THREE FRIENDS...
BUT I WAS THE ONE
WHO LIKED MIKE FIRST,
THE ONE HE WENT OUT WITH FIRST.
YOU AND MIKE...
YOU-- YOU DATED?
YOU'VE GOTO JUST, YOU KNOW,
WEAVE THE LATTICE
THE OTHER WAY.
SORTA KINDA...
UNTIL I FIGURED OUHE WAS CRUSHING ON LYDIA.
YOU KNOW,
MIKE IS GUARDED THAT WAY.
HE DOESN'T SHOW HIS FEELINGS
AT FIRST...
BUT WHEN HE FINALLY FALLS...
OH, I'D GIVE ANYTHING
TO BE LOVED
THE WAY HE LOVED LYDIA.
YOU LOOK
LIKE YOU'RE DOING GREAT,
AND I HAVE TO GET READY
FOR THE WEDDING,
SO I'M GOING TO GO,
AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS BRUSH THE EGG WASH ON.
AND THEN YOU JUST SPRINKLE
SOME SUGAR ON TOP,
AND BAKE IT AT 350.
WE HAVE THE OVEN
PRE-HEATING.
OKAY, UH...
HERE'S YOUR TOWEL.
OH... YEAH,
BUT HOW LONG
DO I LEAVE IT IN FOR?
40 MINUTES!
40 MINUTES...
CHECK IT!
HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO COMPETE WITH A GHOST?
HE LOVED HIS WIFE LIKE CRAZY.
OKAY...
HEY, HANNAH!
IT'S OKAY,
THEY'RE RUNNING LATE.
OH!
GREAT, THANKS, DOUGLAS!
YOU BET.
OH, OH,
I'M SO SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO...
OKAY, I GOT THAT.
STAND RIGHT HERE.
GOOD LUCK.
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
SIT DOWN!
OH, I'M SO GLAD
I DIDN'T MISS IT.
WOW, ANDREA,
IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU DID SUCH A GREAT JOB.
WHERE'S DOUGLAS?
I SAW HIM IN THE
PARKING LOT, MOTHER.
HE WENT BACK
TO GET THE BIRD SEED PACKETS.
RICE IS
SO NOT DONE ANYMORE.
IT'S BAD FOR THE BIRDS.
OH.
CONGRATULATIONS.
SORRY.
OH, LOOK!
CAN'T YOU JUST PICTURE
NORMAN STANDING UP THERE,
WAITING FOR YOU?
DON'T EVEN THINK
ABOUT IT.
WHERE IS NORMAN,
ANYWAY?
LOOK, ISN'T IT GORGEOUS?
COME, LOOK AT THE ROOM.
IT'S A FAIRY TALE...
AND YOU'RE MY PRINCE.
GLORIA'S HERE!
HONEY! I AM SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.
COME JOIN OUR TABLE, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
SO GLAD YOU DID!
IT WAS ALMOST EERIE,
DRIVING THROUGH TOWN TONIGHT...
NO CARS ANYWHERE.
IT'S 'CAUSE EVERYBODY'S HERE!
IT'S MAGICAL.
OF COURSE, YEAH.
YOU REMEMBER GLORIA.
YEAH, OF COURSE!
HELLO AGAIN.
EVERYTHING LOOKS
SO BEAUTIFUL.
ANDREA REALLY
OUTDID HERSELF.
YEAH, SHE WORKED HARD.
I'M SO PROUD
OF BOTH MY GIRLS, HANNAH,
THE WAY YOU BOTH TRY
AND KEEP PEOPLE HAPPY.
THANK YOU, MOTHER.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HAPPINESS
ALWAYS MAKES ME CRY.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
OH, YES, FINE, THANK YOU.
SHE JUST NEEDS A DRINK.
OH, YES, WE ALL NEED.
MORE CHAMPS, PLEASE!
YEAH.
ANNE!
C'MERE.
CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE THIS
TO BACK?
JUST BE CAREFUL.
THAT COMES OFF.
THANK YOU.
ANDREA,
YOU'RE STILL WORKING?
UGH, NEVER ENDS.
HOLD ON ONE SECOND.
'SCUSE ME!
THANK YOU!
THERE YOU GO.
THANK YOU!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
MY DESSERT TABLE
IS FINALLY GOING
TO BE BALANCED.
I LEFT ROOM FOR
MELANIE'S COBBLERS,
AND SHE NEVER
EVEN SHOWED.
OH, MAYBE HER COBBLERS
DIDN'T TURN OUT AFTER ALL.
YOU KNOW, MIKE DIDN'T COME.
HE'S WORKING.
I MEAN, WHO KNOWS
WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET BILL
TO FIND OUT?
I CAN'T CHECK UP ON MIKE, ANDREA.
WELL, ALL I'M SAYING IS,
THERE'S STILL TIME.
HE MAY STILL SHOW.
UH, EXCUSE ME?
YOUNG MISS?
HI!
HI! HUSBAND!
REMEMBER ME?
WE'RE FINISHED WORKING,
WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE SOME FUN?
SURE, YEAH.
YEAH? OKAY.

ALL THE THINGS
I LOVED ARE FADED
I AM AFRAID
I'LL NEVER GET THE CHANCE

IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU
TO TAKE
ANOTHER CHANCE IN LIFE
WANT TO ROLL THE DICE
AND START OVER
YOU STILL HAVE TIME

SO, NOW TELL ME AGAIN
WHY YOU'RE LEAVING
WITH ALL THE CAKE LEFTOVERS?
THE BASCOMBS ASKED ME

'TIL THEY CAN FIGURE OUWHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL.

OH, NORMAN?
YEAH?
YOU'RE A VERY GOOD DANCER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MY DEAR.
I THINK WE'RE GREAT TOGETHER,
IS WHAT IT IS.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'VE REACHED
THE MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM BAKERY.
WE'RE CLOSED AT THE MOMENT,
BUT LEAVE US A MESSAGE,
AND LET US KNOW
HOW WE CAN MAKE YOUR DAY!
MELANIE, IT'S HANNAH SWENSEN.
I'M IN FRONOF THE MAGNOLIA BLOSSOM,
AND, WELL, YOU'VE LEFALL YOUR LIGHTS ON,
SO I'M SORT OF CONCERNED
THAT MAYBE YOU...
LEFT THE DOOR UNLOCKED
OR SOMETHING.
I THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK,
AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
MELANIE?
MELANIE?
IT'S-- IT'S HANNAH.
I JUST...
WANTED TO MAKE SURE...
EVERYTHING WAS OKAY.
YOU LEFT YOUR LIGHTS ON.

MELANIE, YOU BETTER

FOR NOT CALLING ME BACK.
MIKE! MIKE...

SHE'S BEEN SHOT.
HANNAH, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST WALKED IN
RIGHT BEFORE YOU.
OKAY.
STAY RIGHT HERE.
DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING OR SEE
ANYTHING WHEN YOU CAME IN HERE?
NO.
DID YOU TOUCH ANYTHING? ANYTHING
AT ALL?
NO, NOTHING.
OKAY, HANNAH,
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING
AND DON'T MOVE.
THIS IS KINGSTON.
IS THIS SHEPARD?
OKAY, I KNOW
WE'RE STRETCHED THIN TONIGHT,
BUT I NEED YOU TO CALL TODD

AND GET THEM BACK ON DUTY
RIGHT NOW.
I HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE

I'M SORRY.
WAIT OUT FRONFOR ME, OKAY?
HEY! HANNAH!
YOU DO REALIZE THAT...
YOU'RE AT THE WRONG BAKERY,
RIGHT?
WHAT'S UP?
YOU OKAY?
MELANIE QUINN IS DEAD.
I JUST FOUND HER MURDERED.
WHAT?
THERE WERE TWO COBBLERS
BURNT IN THE OVEN,
AND ONE WAS ON THE FLOOR,
SO SHE MUST HAVE BEEN
JUST TAKING HER COBBLERS
OUT OF THE OVEN
WHEN SOMEONE SHOT HER.
OKAY, SO...
YOU CALLED THE POLICE?
NO, NO,
I DIDN'T CALL THE POLICE.
MIKE JUST WALKED IN
RIGHT BEHIND ME.
HE MUST HAVE HAD PLANS
WITH MELANIE, I GUESS.
I'VE GOA FORENSICS TEAM ON THE WAY.
RHODES,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I TOLD HANNAH
I'D MEET HER
AT THE COOKIE JAR.
WH-WHAT'S GOING ON?
THEN WHY ARE NEITHER OF YOU
AT THE COOKIE JAR?
I MEAN...
HANNAH, WHAT WERE YOU EVEN DOING
IN MELANIE'S KITCHEN
TO BEGIN WITH?
WELL, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON.
I JUST THOUGHI'D BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR
AND GO AND CHECK,
MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, DID YOU SEE ANYBODY
WALKING NEARBY,
ANYBODY WALKING AWAY
FROM THE BAKERY?
NO, IT'S ALL QUIET.
I MEAN, THERE'S NO ONE HERE.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK,
I NEED YOU TO GO HOME,
AND I'LL GEYOUR OFFICIAL STATEMENTOMORROW, ALL RIGHT?
GUYS, HOLD UP.
NOBODY GOES IN THERE.
THIS IS A LIVE CRIME SCENE.
I NEED THE CORONER
TO STEP FOOIN THERE FIRST, OKAY?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
MY CAKE
IS STILL IN THE TRUCK...
DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.
I'LL HELP YOU GET IT, AND
I'LL DRIVE YOU HOME, OKAY?
I SHOULD CALL MY MOTHER.
OKAY, ONE THING AT A TIME.
LET'S JUST GET YOU INSIDE.
WELL, I'M OFF TO BED,
BUT I HAVE TO THANK YOU
FOR GETTING ME
OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
I HAVEN'T DANCED LIKE THAIN AGES.
WE SHOWED THE KIDS
HOW IT'S DONE, DIDN'T WE?
LISTEN, MAN,
I'M OFF THE CLOCK,
SO IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO...
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
SAY THAT AGAIN?
WHAT? WHERE?
HANNAH DID?
AGAIN?
YEAH, I'M ON MY WAY.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
CAN YOU TWO MAKE SURE
THAT ANDREA GETS HOME?
WAIT!
YOU JUST SAID HANNAH'S NAME.
WHAT'D SHE DO?
SHE FOUND A BODY,
PROBABLE HOMICIDE.
HANNAH DID?
AGAIN?
THAT'S AWFUL.
OH, MY DAUGHTER...
HANNAH!
FREEZER!
OH, HANNAH!
BRACE YOURSELF.
WHAT?
HANNAH! ARE YOU HERE?
HANNAH!
HANNAH, WHERE ARE YOU?
HANNAH!
OH...
OH, HANNAH!
ANOTHER DEAD BODY?
AND RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET!
WHAT A SHOCK IT WAS
TO DRIVE UP
AND SEE ALL THOSE POLICE CARS!
OH, HONEY...
YOU MUST FEEL
POSITIVELY CURSED!
MOTHER!
WELL, I HADN'T THOUGHABOUT IT LIKE THAT,
BUT THANK YOU, MOTHER.
WELL, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT LITERALLY.
ALTHOUGH...
YOU DON'T THINK
SHE REALLY IS CURSED, DO YOU?
NO. NO.
DOUGLAS,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
JUST GOING TO LOOK OUTHE FRONT WINDOW,
SEE WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE.
ISN'T THAJUST A TAD MORBID?
I'M A LITTLE CURIOUS, TOO.
WE JUST HAVE
TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY.
WELL, I FEEL LIKE I KEEP GOING
INTO THE WRONG PLACE
AT THE WRONG TIME.
IS THAT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO BE CURSED?
WE'LL TAKE YOU HOME.
NO, NO, MOTHER,
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NORMAN OFFERED
TO TAKE ME HOME.
WELL, AREN'T YOU MR. WONDERFUL?
THEY'RE BRINGING
THE BODY OUT NOW.
OH...
I HOPE THAT VANESSA'S
NOT OUT THERE WATCHING.
VANESSA?
WELL,
YOU FOUND MELANIE, RIGHT?
I MEAN, SHE NEVER SHOWED
AT THE RECEPTION.
YEAH.
BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS...
NO, IT WAS...
IT WAS MELANIE.
SHE'S GONE...
AND VANESSA HAD
TO GO OUT OF TOWN,
SO I DON'T KNOW
IF SHE EVEN KNOWS ABOUT IT YET.
MELANIE'S DEAD, THEN?
WELL, I JUST FEEL TERRIBLE
THE WAY WE JUST SAT THERE TODAY,
JUST WATCHING AND LAUGHING
AT THEM.
I'M GOING TO GO SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON NOW.
NO, NO, DOUGLAS,
YOU JUST STAY HERE.
THERE IS SAFETY
IN NUMBERS.
BESIDES, HANNAH'S EXHAUSTED.
SHE JUST WANTS TO LOCK UP,
DON'T YOU, HONEY?
I DO.
YES, MOTHER.
WE'LL ALL GO OUT TOGETHER.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU.
I WAS FOLLOWING MY INSTINCTS.
I NEED TO KNOW
THAT THIS DEPARTMENHAS NOT LOST ITS OBJECTIVITY.
GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
I DID NOT FEEL THE NEED
TO SEARCH FOR A WEAPON.
IT WAS JUST A SMALL ERROR
IN JUDGEMENT. THAT'S...
THE FACT IS,
YOU FAILED TO FOLLOW PROCEDURE
IN THE INVESTIGATION
OF A MURDER, CORRECT?
I SUPPOSE THAT IS TRUE.
YES, I DID.
BY THE BOOK,
FROM NOW ON.
IS THAT CLEAR?
CRYSTAL CLEAR.
- GOT IT.
- SIR.
GOOD.
WE'RE DEALING WITH A HOMICIDE,
NOT A LOST PUPPY.
MOST IMPORTANTLY,
WE NEED TO MAINTAIN
THE OBJECTIVITY
OF THIS DEPARTMENT.
THAT'S OUR JOB...
AND GENTLEMEN,
I'LL BE WATCHING.
- ANDREA.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I'M ON MY CELL IF YOU NEED ME.
HEY.
UM...
HEY, HONEY. HEY.
UM... WHY EXACTLY
IS SHERIFF GRANGOING TO BE
WATCHING YOU?
ROUGH MORNING?
MIKE.
YOU'RE HERE
TO TAKE MY STATEMENT?
UH, SOMEBODY ELSE
WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU HERE FOR, THEN?
TO APOLOGIZE
FOR STANDING ME UP LAST NIGHT...
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THATO HAPPEN.
I GOT STUCK ON A CALL,
A DRUNK AND DISORDERLY...
OH.
'CAUSE, UM...
I HAD SORT OF THOUGHT THAT...
YOU HAD PLANS WITH MELANIE.
NO. NO, NO, NO.
I'D JUST DROVE BY,
I SAW HER LIGHTS,
I CALLED
JUST LIKE YOU DID,
SHE DIDN'T CALL ME BACK...
LOOK, NEVER MIND.
THAT'S NOT WHY I'M...
I'M HERE RIGHT NOW.
THEN WHY?
TO TELL YOU THAT I...
WE HAVE
A SUSPECT IN MELANIE'S MURDER.
OH.
WELL...
THAT'S GOOD NEWS,
ISN'T IT?
WHO IS IT?
HANNAH...
IT'S YOU.
SWENSEN.
S-W-E-N-S-E-N.
HEY, JOANNE,
I GOT IT FROM HERE.
IT'S COOL, THANKS.
THANK YOU.
YOU DON'T REALLY THINK
I KILLED MELANIE, DO YOU?
THIS IS NOT ABOUWHAT I THINK OR WHAT I BELIEVE.
THIS IS ABOUT EVIDENCE,
AND RIGHT NOW,
THE LITTLE WE HAVE
POINTS AT YOU,
AT LEAST UNTIL
I CAN RULE YOU OUAS THE OWNER
OF THOSE PRINTS THAT WE FOUND
ALL OVER THE CRIME SCENE.
WHAT EVIDENCE
DO YOU HAVE ON ME?
THE MAYOR TOLD US
THAT YOU HAD A PROBLEM
WITH MELANIE
AT THEIR WEDDING REHEARSAL.
I DIDN'T HAVE
A PROBLEM WITH MELANIE.
ANDREA SAID ONE THING TO HER,
AND IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE
SHE WAS TRYING TO DEFEND ME.
YOU ARE ALSO
HER MAIN COMPETITION IN TOWN
AND WILL PROBABLY BENEFITHE MOST IF SHE WAS GONE,
SO THAT GIVES YOU A MOTIVE.
BUT I DON'T HAVE A MOTIVE.
MELANIE TOLD ME HERSELF
THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE
CLOSING HER BAKERY SOON.
WHEN DID SHE TELL YOU THAT?
YESTERDAY.
SHE TOLD ME WHEN...
THOSE FINGERPRINTS
ALL OVER THE CRIME SCENE
ARE MINE.
WAIT, YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T TOUCH
ANYTHING LAST NIGHT.
I DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING
LAST NIGHT,
BUT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,
MELANIE CAME OVER,
AND SHE ASKED ME TO HELP HER
MAKE THOSE COBBLERS.
OKAY, OKAY.
COME BACK AROUND HERE, PLEASE.
WE'RE NOT DONE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME.
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME
IF YOU WERE IN THAT KITCHEN.
I SHOULD HAVE SEARCHED YOU
FOR A WEAPON.
I MEAN, I WALK IN,
YOU'RE STANDING
OVER A DEAD BODY,
I DON'T EVEN SEARCH YOU.
NO WONDER THE CHIEF THINKS
THAT I'VE LOST MY OBJECTIVITY.
THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
WHY WOULD I BE STANDING
OVER A DEAD BODY
WITH A GUN AT 10:00
WHEN SHE WAS KILLED AT 5:00?
YOU KNOW THE TIME OF DEATH?
BEFORE WE'VE RELEASED
THAT INFORMATION?
YOU ARE NOT HELPING
YOURSELF HERE.
I LEFT HER
A LITTLE AFTER 4:00.
IT WOULD'VE TAKEN HER
ANOTHER 10 MINUTES
TO GET THOSE COBBLERS
READY FOR THE OVEN.
THEY TAKE 40 MINUTES
TO BAKE,
AND FROM WHAT I SAW,
SHE WAS KILLED
WHEN SHE WAS TAKING THEM
OUT OF THE OVEN, SO...
YEAH, 5:00.
THE CORONER WASN'T EVEN
THAT EXACT.
HE SAID BETWEEN 5 AND 5:30.
WELL, HE'S... NOT A BAKER.
HMM.
BUT THIS IS
GOOD NEWS, RIGHT?
I MEAN, IT CLEARS ME.
I HAVE AN ALIBI.
I WAS AT THE WEDDING.
BILL WAS ATHE WEDDING, TOO.
HE SAID IT STARTED
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATE,
AROUND 5:15,
AND YOU GOT THERE
JUST IN TIME
TO SEE THEM
WALKING DOWN THE AISLE.
IT MEANS
I DON'T HAVE AN ALIBI.
HANNAH? HANNAH...
MOTHER...
OH, HONEY, I JUST HAD LUNCH
WITH GLORIA,
AND SHE SAID THE MOSWONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT YOU.
WHAT?
MOTHER, UM...
I'M IN TROUBLE.
HANNAH...
YOU'RE SAYING THATHE POLICE HAVE YOU
AS THEIR TOP SUSPECIN MELANIE'S MURDER?
I DIDN'T WANTO BELIEVE IT EITHER,
BUT BILL SAID
IT'S TRUE, SO...
THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!
MM-HMM.
WELL, THE PROBLEM IS,
MY FINGERPRINTS
ARE ALL OVER THE CRIME SCENE.
YES...
YOU WERE JUST HELPING MELANIE.
SHAME YOU'RE GOING
TO GET PUNISHED
FOR DOING A GOOD DEED.
YEAH...
I'M JUST WORRIED
THAT IF THE POLICE SPEND
ALL THEIR TIME FOCUSED ON ME,
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO FIND OUWHO REALLY DID THIS,
UNLESS...
UNLESS WE FIGURE OUWHO DID IT OURSELVES...
RIGHT?
SEE? I KNEW
YOU'D RISE TO HER DEFENSE.
NO, I'LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN
TO CLEAR YOUR NAME.
OF COURSE YOU WILL.
HONEY, DOUGLAS AND I
WILL DO THE SAME, WON'T WE?
ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY, SO I HAVE TO FIND OUWHO HAS AN ALIBI
FOR 5:00 P.M. ON SATURDAY
AND WHO DOESN'T?
WE KNOW THAT EVERYONE
WHO KNEW MELANIE
WAS AT THAT WEDDING,
BUT MAYBE SOME OF THEM
WERE LATE, LIKE ME?
I CAN CHECK
THE GUEST BOOK.
I HAD
THE GROOM'S COUSIN
STANDING THERE
THE ENTIRE TIME
TO MAKE SURE
EVERYONE SIGNED IN.
OOH,
WELL, THEN YOU CAN SEE
IF ANYONE SIGNED IN
AFTER HANNAH.
I THINK WE SHOULD ALSO
CHECK OUT VANESSA.
OOH, HOLD ON!
I MEAN, I CAN UNDERSTAND
GETTING ANNOYED
WITH YOUR SISTER, BUT...
I'M JUST SAYING...
BUT VANESSA LOVED MELANIE,
I MEAN, ENOUGH
TO INVEST IN HER BAKERY.
I STILL THINK
WE SHOULD CHECK HER OUT.
SHE SAID SHE HAD A FLIGHTO CATCH.
SHE LEFT THE BAKERY AROUND 4:00.
WELL, WE COULD GO
TO THE AIRPORT TOMORROW MORNING.
SURE, ASK AROUND,
SEE IF ANYONE
SAW HER THERE.
YOU KNOW WHO ELSE
WE SHOULD CHECK OUIS PEOPLE THAT WERE
NOT AT THE WEDDING,
BUT PRESENAT THE RECEPTION.
EXCEPT FOR ME,
OF COURSE.
THAT'S RIGHT,
YOU WEREN'T THERE.
NO, NO, I WASN'T.
I, UH...
YOU OKAY WITH THAT?
YEAH.
EVERYTHING LOOKS
DELICIOUS, HONEY.
UM...
MY POINT IS,
I DON'T HAVE AN ALIBI.
WELL, YOU ALSO
HARDLY KNEW MELANIE,
AND YOU...
THANK YOU, NORMAN...
DEFINITELY DIDN'T HAVE A MOTIVE.
NO, NO,
ONE COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENTHAT SHE RAN
A COMPETING BUSINESS,
AND I DID IT TO HELP YOU.
THAT'S JUST SILLY.
NORMAN,
A KILLER...
EXACTLY,
RIGHT?
OH, MOISHE...
GOING TO CHECK OUMELANIE QUINN.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
"MY WONDERFUL FRIEND."
I DON'T THINK THAT'S...
GOING TO HELP ME.
WOW, SHE HAD
A FANCY BUSINESS PAGE.
"MY WONDERFUL FRIEND."
BILL!
HANNAH.
UH, THIS IS
A SEARCH WARRANT.
I'M SORRY,
WE HAVE TO COME IN
AND SEARCH THE PLACE.
YEAH.
'COURSE. COME ON IN, BILL.
COME ON IN, BOYS.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR MIKE,
HE'S SUPERVISING THE SEARCH
AT THE COOKIE JAR.
HANNAH, STOP.
TAKE THIS.
WHAT?
IT'S $67.
IT'S ALL I HAVE.
YOU'LL THINK
I'M BEING DRAMATIC,
BUT IT'S ENOUGH
TO GET YOU TO, MM, CANADA
IF YOU MAKE A RUN FOR IT.
WHY WOULD I RUN FOR IT?
HEY, MIKE, I...
MIKE?
I THINK YOU'D BETTER
CALL A LAWYER, HANNAH.
SORRY!
WE'RE CLOSED!
PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO THINK,
US BEING CLOSED ON A MONDAY.
I'M JUST FURIOUS
THAT BILL DIDN'T WARN US
THAT THE SHERIFF WAS GETTING
THAT SEARCH WARRANT.
HANNAH?
YOUR SISTER
IS A TERRIBLE SPY.
WELL, I'M JUST GLAD
THEY FOUND THE GUN,
AND I HOPE IT TURNS OUTO BE THE MURDER WEAPON.
HANNAH!
THEY FOUND THE GUN HERE.
THAT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
I...
I HAVE A LAWYER FRIEND
WHO COULD RECOMMEND YOU
TO AN EXCELLENCRIMINAL ATTORNEY.
OOH, OOH, SEE, NOW,
NORMAN WOULD TELL YOU
TO GET A LAWYER, TOO.
I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
I DON'T NEED A LAWYER.
BUT SOMEONE
PLANTED THAT GUN HERE
TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE YOU'RE GUILTY.
WELL, IT'LL BE OBVIOUS
TO THE POLICE, TOO.
I WOULDN'T GIVE
SHERIFF GRANT THAT MUCH CREDIT.
I KNOW HIS MOTHER.
I THINK IT'S OBVIOUS
THAT WE NEED
TO FIND OUWHO REALLY KILLED MELANIE.
WELL, YOU SAID WE'VE HIA DEAD END WITH THAT.
YEAH, RIGHT. ALL THE PEOPLE
WHO KNEW MELANIE
BUT THAT WEREN'AT THE WEDDING, I MEAN...
THEIR ALIBIS ALL CHECK OUT.
HAVEN'T CHECKED OUGLORIA TRAVIS YET.
MY TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS QUEEN?
SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIVE HERE!
SHE'S ONLY PERSON
WHO WAS AT THE RECEPTION
WHO WASN'T AT THE CEREMONY...
AND AM I THE ONLY ONE
WHO THOUGHT IT WAS ODD
THAT SHE DRESSED
MORE FOR A BUSINESS MEETING
THAN SHE DID FOR A PARTY.
I THINK
IT'S A REAL POSSIBILITY.
NO, GLORIA IS
A LOVELY PERSON,
AND HOW COULD SHE
POSSIBLY KNOW MELANIE?
COOKIES, PLEASE.
COOKIES!
I DON'T THINK SHE DID.
ADMITTEDLY, I HAVEN'T MADE
THAT CONNECTION YET.
I WAS UP ALL NIGHT...
I WAS ON THE INTERNET,
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
IN MELANIE'S BACKGROUND,
SOMETHING
THAT WOULD GIVE ME A CLUE
AS TO WHY SOMEONE
WOULD WANT TO KILL HER...
AND I JUST DID HIA DEAD END.
PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU
FIND AN ATTORNEY.
YOUR MOM'S WORRIED SICK,
AND I...
YOU LOVE HER.
YEAH, I DO.
SHE'S AN AMAZING WOMAN.
LISA, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU LOOK
LIKE YOU'VE JUST SEEN A GHOST.
WHAT?
OH, VANESSA'S BACK.
ANDREA TOLD ME
THAT BILL TOLD HER
THAT THE POLICE HAD
TO PICK VANESSA UP
AT THE AIRPORT...
SO SHE COULD IDENTIFY
HER DEAD SISTER'S BODY.
IT'S JUSSO HEART-WRENCHING.
GUESS I DIDN'T SEE HER HAIR.
MAYBE IT'S THE COASHE'S WEARING.
I'M SURE I'VE SEEN MELANIE
WEAR THAT COAT BEFORE.
I REALLY DID THINK
I'D SEEN A GHOST!
NO, YOU'RE RIGHT,
MELANIE USED TO BORROW
HER SISTER'S CLOTHES,
AND SHE WAS WEARING
VANESSA'S DRESS
THE NIGHT OF THE WEDDING...
I ASKED HER
TO PUT HER HAIR UP.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY
WE'VE HIT A DEAD END.
MAYBE MELANIE WASN'THE KILLER'S INTENDED VICTIM.
OH, MY GOODNESS...
MAYBE THE KILLER
MEANT TO KILL VANESSA
AND SHOT MELANIE
BY ACCIDENT.
YOU COULD BE RIGHT.
MAYBE VANESSA'S THE KEY
TO THIS WHOLE THING!
MIKE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL, UM,
YOU MUST BE SEEING THINGS,
BECAUSE I'M NOT REALLY HERE.
WELL, THEN I GUESS
I'M SEEING AND HEARING THINGS.
EXACTLY,
BECAUSE IF I WAS ACTUALLY HERE,
THEN I WOULD BE DISOBEYING
A DIRECT ORDER
TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU.
WELL, I WOULD HATE FOR YOU
TO GET IN TROUBLE
BECAUSE OF ME...
BUT SINCE YOU ARE...
AREN'T HERE,
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
IF THE GUN YOU FOUND
IS THE ONE THAT WAS USED
TO KILL MELANIE?
NO, I CANNOTELL YOU THAT,
BECAUSE
I'M NOT REALLY HERE,
AND I DEFINITELY
CAN'T TELL YOU
THAT EVEN IF
BALLISTICS DID CONFIRM
THAT IT IS THE SAME GUN,
THAT I MADE THE ARGUMENTHAT PROBABLY 50 PEOPLE
WALKED THROUGH YOUR BAKERY
IN THE LAST 24 HOURS,
AND ANY ONE
OF THOSE PEOPLE
COULD HAVE PUTHE GUN IN THAT JAR.
YEAH, I HAD
A HUNDRED CUSTOMERS YESTERDAY.
I SOLD OUT OF EVERYTHING...
EVEN THE GLUTEN-FREE STUFF.
AND I'M ALSO NOT HERE
TELLING YOU
THAT THE CHIEF
IS CHOMPING AT THE BITO MAKE AN ARRESON THIS, OKAY,
AND I CAN GIVE THEM
ALL THE ARGUMENTS
IN THE WORLD
WHY YOU ARE NOT THE PERSON
WE'RE LOOKING FOR,
BUT I JUST WOULD FEEL
A LOT BETTER
IF YOU GOT YOURSELF
A LAWYER, OKAY,
SO PLEASE MAKE A PHONE CALL.
I DON'T NEED A LAWYER.
I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING WRONG!
CALL SOMEBODY!
PLEASE.
WHAT HAPPENED
TO YOUR OBJECTIVITY, DETECTIVE,
AND FOLLOWING
THE EVIDENCE?
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE
IT WASN'T ME?
BECAUSE I TRUSMY INSTINCTS.
COURSE, I'M NOT 100% SURE
I COULD FIND YOU
IN ALL THOSE JACKETS.
THE HEATER IN MY TRUCK
IS BROKEN, REMEMBER?
YEAH, WELL,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO, UM...
GIVE THAT ONE MORE TRY.
JUST IN CASE.
HEY, ANDREA!
WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE
IN MY NOW-WARM POPSICLE WAGON?
I'M CRAVING
A STRAWBERRY FLIP COOKIE,
AND I CANNOT THINK
OF ANYTHING ELSE
UNTIL I GET ONE.
IF I GET YOU A COOKIE,
WILL YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME?
YOU WANT TO BUY MY WHAT?
YOUR MIXER.
YOU HAVE A LEGACY MIXER
IN THE KITCHEN,
AND I'D LIKE
TO MAKE AN OFFER.
I THOUGHIT MIGHT HELP.
MELANIE HAD SAID
THAT YOU WERE...
LOSING MONEY
ON THIS BUSINESS.
WE WEREN'T LOSING MONEY.
MAYBE THIS
ISN'T THE BEST TIME.
THIS IS GOOD A TIME AS ANY.
I DO PLAN TO SELL THIS PLACE,
AND EVERYTHING IN IT.
IF I HAD MY WAY,
I'D NEVER HAVE
TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN.
I GUESS
I JUST WANT TO SAY
I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO LOSE A SISTER,
ESPECIALLY SO SOON
AFTER HAVING LOST YOUR HUSBAND,
NEIL...
RYDER. AND YES,
IT WAS HARD LOSING HIM...
BUT NOTHING LIKE...
I WISH WE'D NEVER SET FOOIN THIS TOWN!
BUT NO, MELANIE JUST HAD TO TRY
TO DRUM UP SOME KIND OF ROMANCE
WITH MIKE.
TOLD HER SHE WAS CRAZY.
THEY ONLY DATED A FEW WEEKS
IN COLLEGE.
HE JUST WASN'T THAT INTO HER.
HE WAS INTO LYDIA.
'COURSE,
NOW THAT HE'S ALL ALONE,
I CAN SEE HOW IT WOULD BE NICE
TO SNUGGLE UP TO HIM AT NIGHT.
YOU'RE INTO MIKE?
MAYBE I WOULD BE,
IF HE WASN'T INTERESTED IN HER.
HE TOLD ME HOW UPSET HE IS
THAT YOU'RE A SUSPECIN WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SISTER.
HE TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT?
YEAH.
I TOLD HIM I DOUBTED
YOU'RE NEARLY COMPLICATED ENOUGH
TO MURDER SOMEONE.
I'M NOT COMPLICATED ENOUGH?
I THINK I'M PLENTY COMPLICATED.
YOU CAN HEAR
YOURSELF, RIGHT?
OKAY, NEIL RYDER,
PRESIDENOF TECHDYNE INDUSTRIES.
THAT WAS VANESSA'S HUSBAND?
BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE
MINNEAPOLIS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FOR THE CARRINGTON MUSEUM...
THERE'S, LIKE,
A HUNDRED CHARITIES ON THERE.
NOT JUST CHARITIES.
LOOK AT THAT..
TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS.
THAT MEANS THAT GLORIA...
AND NEIL WORKED TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT, WE NEED
TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT GLORIA AND NEIL'S
RELATIONSHIP.
MAYBE YOU AND I COULD TAKE A...
I'LL JUST GO BY MYSELF.
YOU'RE NOT GOING BY YOURSELF.
I'LL TELL MOTHER.
THAT'S COLD.
WELL, IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
OKAY.
OKAY.
FINE.
'KAY, WAIT, HANNAH...
WHO ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE, THEN?
NORMAN, IT'S HANNAH.
I WONDERED IF YOU WOULD TAKE
A DRIVE WITH ME
INTO MINNEAPOLIS?
FAKER THAN
A ONE-ARMED BANDIT.
AWESOME.
YEAH, 1035.
THIS IS IT.
YEAH, TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS
AND TECHDYNE INDUSTRIES
ARE BOTH IN THIS BUILDING.
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN
WHY GLORIA KNOWS NEIL RYDER,
THEN, RIGHT?
WELL, THEY'RE BOTH
CEOS OF MAJOR CORPORATIONS.
I THINK THERE'S MORE TO ITHAN THAT.
IS THAYOUR SECRET WEAPON?
YEAH.
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES.
THEY WORK EVERY TIME.
WATCH AND LEARN,
DR. RHODES.
HELLO.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
HI, I'M INTERESTED IN SELLING
TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS.
I'M SORRY.
OUR SALES LIAISON IS AWAY
AT AN EXECUTIVE RETREAT TODAY.
WELL...
MAYBE I COULD JUST LEARN
A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE COMPANY
IN THE MEANTIME...
THEN YOU'D WANT TO TALK
TO OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER,
BUT SHE'S AT THE RETREAT, TOO.
UM... LOOK,
I'M ACTUALLY REALLY INTERESTED
IN LEARNING
ABOUT ONE MEMBER
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS...
A MAN NAMED NEIL RYDER.
IS THERE SOMEONE HERE
WHO MIGHT HAVE KNOWN HIM?
OUR HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
MIGHT KNOW, BUT SHE'S...
AT THE RETREAT, TOO.
HOW ABOUT A COOKIE?
I, UM, BAKED THEM MYSELF.
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES.
PRETTY GOOD.
THANKS...
BUT I DON'T EAT CARBS...
OR SUGAR... OR DAIRY.
OKAY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SO, DID YOU STRIKE OUT?
LET'S JUST GO
TO TECHDYNE.
ROBERTA?
HI. I'M HANNAH.
I WONDERED
IF YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO HELP ME OUT.
I SURE WILL TRY.
THANK YOU.
I'M WRITING THIS ARTICLE
ABOUT YOUR FORMER PRESIDENT,
NEIL RYDER,
AND I THOUGHMAYBE YOU COULD PROVIDE ME
WITH SOME INFORMATION.
I COULD TELL YOU
THE DATES HE WAS PRESIDENT,
THINGS LIKE THAT...
WELL, IT'S ACTUALLY
A HUMAN INTEREST STORY,
SO I WAS LOOKING
FOR MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT ALL THE GOOD WORKS
THAT HE DID.
HE WAS ON THE BOARD
OF SO MANY CHARITIES,
I'M SURE YOU KNOW,
AND OTHER COMPANIES
LIKE TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS.
I'M PRETTY SURE I'M NOAT LIBERTY TO DISCUSS THAT.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.
LISTEN,
IF YOU'D LIKE,
STRAIGHT FROM MY BAKERY,
I HAVE THE BESGERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES
YOU WILL EVER TRY.
ARE THEY MADE WITH EGGS?
'CAUSE I'M ALLERGIC TO EGGS.
OH.
WELL, UH, NEXT TIME.
I'LL GETCHA, OKAY?
OKAY.
SO? ANYTHING?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THIS CITY, I SWEAR.
NOBODY HERE IS INTERESTED
IN GOSSIPING,
OR COOKIES, OR ANYTHING.
LET ME TRY SOMETHING.
- OOPS!
- EXCUSE ME.
SORRY.
EXCUSE ME?
HEY, HI, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
MY NAME IS
DR. NORMAN RHODES.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN HELP ME OUT.
I HAVE A SET OF X-RAYS
THAT I'M TRYING TO GETO GLORIA TRAVIS?
I THINK YOU'RE IN
THE WRONG PLACE, DOCTOR.
GLORIA TRAVIS
IS WITH TRUE BEAUTY COSMETICS.
THAT'S FIVE FLOORS UP.
EXCUSE ME.
RIGHT...
YEAH, YOU KNOW, I...
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU...
AH!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
WHAT HAPPENED?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
OLD HOCKEY INJURY.
I SEE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GEFOR PLAYING WITH PEOPLE
YOUNGER AND FASTER THAN ME,
RIGHT?
SORRY, RIGHT,
SO YEAH,
UM, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO HERE.
I WAS GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS
TO DROP THESE RECORDS OFF HERE.
UM, I WISH
I COULD HELP YOU.
APPARENTLY, IT HAS SOMETHING
TO DO WITH...
THE LAWSUIT THAT SHE INITIATED
A FEW MONTHS AGO?
I HAVE NO IDEA
WHY SHE WANTS THESE RECORDS
DROPPED OFF HERE
AND NOAT HER OWN OFFICE.
WHO KNOWS, RIGHT?
WELL...
I MIGHT KNOW.
WHO ARE YOU?
BARBARA'S BOSS.
WHAT?
WHAT'D YOU FIND OUT?
OKAY, SO...
GLORIA TRAVIS
WAS UNOFFICIALLY ENGAGED
TO BE MARRIED
TO NEIL RYDER...
AND SHE WASN'VERY HAPPY
WHEN SHE FOUND OUTHAT HE'D ELOPED
WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
GUESS WHO?
VANESSA?
- YES.
- YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?
YEAH! IT'S A PRETTY GOOD
MOTIVE FOR MURDER, I'D SAY!
AND YOU FOUND IT!
OH, NORMAN!
I THINK
SHE'S STILL WATCHING US.
OH, WE'RE IN TROUBLE.
I HAD NO IDEA
YOU WERE SO GOOD
AT CLANDESTINE MISSIONS.
WELL, I DID DRESS UP
AS JAMES BOND
SIX YEARS IN A ROW
FOR HALLOWEEN
WHEN I WAS A KID.
SO YOU GOING
TO QUIT BEING A DENTISAND JOIN THE FBI?
YEAH, I'M GOING TO TRADE
IN MY DENTAL FORCEPS
FOR A .40 CALIBER GLOCK.
HEY, HOLD UP...
I HAD SO MUCH FUN SPENDING
TIME WITH YOU TODAY.
WELL, IT'S BEEN THE BEST PAROF A VERY TERRIBLE WEEK.
UM...
BE MY DATE
ON VALENTINE'S DAY.
I MIGHT BE IN JAIL
ON VALENTINE'S DAY
SERIOUSLY!
IF THIS DOESN'T WORK OUT...
BAD TIME TO ASK?
MAYBE MORE A BAD
TIME TO ANSWER.
OKAY.
I'M NOT WORRIED.
YES, MOTHER,
10 MINUTES EXACTLY.
OKAY.
YES, I KNOW,
MIKE DOES MAKE MY HEART RACE...
BUT SO DOES NORMAN.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
I'M NOT THE LEAST SURPRISED
THAT NORMAN CAME
THROUGH FOR YOU.
I KNEW FROM
THE MOMENT I MET HIM,
THAT NORMAN
IS THE KIND OF MAN
WHO WOULD BE
THERE FOR YOU
THROUGH THICK
AND THIN, HANNAH.
JUST LIKE I FEEL
ABOUT DOUGLAS.
OOH, HE'S A KEEPER.
I'M GLAD, MOTHER.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
WE DID A LITTLE KEY EXCHANGE.
THAT MEANS THAT I GIVE HIM
A KEY TO MY PLACE,
AND HE GAVE ME
A KEY TO HIS.
I KNOW
WHAT IT MEANS.
LOOK, HE MADE MINE
ON A LITTLE HEART KEY.
WITH BLING!
ISN'T THAJUST THE SWEETEST THING?
I'M PRETTY SURE I DID NOT NEED
TO KNOW THAT STORY, MOTHER.
FINE!
BACK TO NORMAN
AND THE COSMETICS QUEEN, THEN.
PERSONALLY,
I DON'T SEE HOW GLORIA TRAVIS
COULD'VE MURDERED MELANIE.
GLORIA IS MUCH TOO CLASSY.
OOH...
ISN'T THAT HER?
YEAH.
WHOA!
THEY WERE ALREADY
COMING FOR HER.
HANNAH, BE CARE--
PULL OVER.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
GLORIA TRAVIS.
WE NEED YOU TO COME
TO THE STATION WITH US.
WE GOT SOME QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE NIGHOF FEBRUARY 6TH
AND YOU BEING
AT THE MAGNOLIA BAKERY.
WOULD YOU PLEASE
GET IN THE CAR?
I ONLY WENT DOWN THERE
TO TALK TO VANESSA!
SHE LEFT ME A MESSAGE
TELLING ME TO MEET HER THERE!
WE'LL GO DOWN
TO THE STATION.
I NEVER TOUCHED HER SISTER!
WELL, WHADDYA KNOW...
I ACTUALLY BEAT HANNAH SWENSEN
TO QUESTIONING A SUSPECT.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST HOP BACK
INTO YOUR NICE WARM TOASTY CAR?
WAIT, SO YOU'RE JUST QUESTIONING HER,
YOU'RE NOT ARRESTING HER?
WELL, THE GUN WAS REGISTERED
TO A MS. GLORIA TRAVIS.
THE GUN WAS GLORIA'S?
WAIT...
YOU FOUND MY GUN?
THE ONE I LEFIN NEIL'S SAFE?
GET IN THE CAR, PLEASE.
I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU ONE...
NO, NO, NO.
GLORIA, CAN I JUST...
I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION, PLEASE.
I GOT THIS.
- I REALLY DO.
- ONE MORE QUESTION.
I GOT IT.
MOTHER?
IN THE CAR!
WAIT, HANNAH...
COME ON.
PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON.
BILL! HEY...
HEY, YEAH.
MIKE SAID YOU MIGHBE STOPPING BY
TO TALK TO GLORIA.
YEAH, I JUST HAVE
ONE QUESTION...
AND HE ALSO SAID
TO TELL YOU
THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
BILL, I JUST WANT TO TALK
TO HER, OKAY?
TOOK HER DOWN TO LOCK UP,
AND WE'RE JUST WAITING
FOR THE JUDGE
TO SIGN THE WARRANT...
THE THING IS, SIR,
IS THAT I'M JUST WORRIED
THAT MAYBE WE'RE, UM...
WE'RE JUST, WE'RE JUMPING
THE GUN HERE A LITTLE BIT.
REALLY?
YOU SERIOUS?
WELL...
MIKE.
TRAVIS IS OUR PERP.
SHE OWNED THE GUN.
NO, NO, NO.
MIKE SAID TO MAKE
SURE YOU GO HOME.
LET ME LISTEN, PLEASE.
MIKE, FOR THE LAST TIME,
THE CASE IS CLOSED.
THAT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
IT REALLY DOES.
THE THING
THAT I'M CURIOUS ABOUT IS WHY...
EXCUSE ME?
I'M SORRY...
I'M SORRY, SIR...
MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S
A LITTLE STIRRED UP.
MIKE, I REALLY WANT TO...
WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM,
MISS SWENSEN?
JUST THAT...
YOU'VE ARRESTED
THE WRONG PERSON.
GLORIA TRAVIS
DID NOT MURDER MELANIE.
THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION,
OKAY?
AN OPEN INVESTIGATION,
AND YOU ARE INTERRUPTING.
NOT TO MENTION GETTING
BILL AND ME
IN A LOT OF TROUBLE HERE.
I'M SO SORRY.
I REALLY AM SORRY ABOUT THAT,
BUT I BELIEVE GLORIA.
IF SHE'S TELLING THE TRUTH,
AND SHE LEFT THAT GUN
IN NEIL'S SAFE...
THEN THE PERSON WHO HAD CUSTODY
OF THAT GUN AFTER NEIL DIED
IS VANESSA.
I KNOW YOU DON'T WANTO HEAR THIS,
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING
SKETCHY GOING ON
IN THAT BAKERY,
I'M TELLING YOU.
MELANIE WAS GIVING AWAY
FREE STUFF
AND TELLING PEOPLE THASHE WAS OPERATING AT A LOSS,
AND THEN VANESSA SAID
THAT SHE WAS MAKING MONEY
ON THE BUSINESS,
SO WHAT IF VANESSA HAD SOMETHING
GOING ON, YOU KNOW, A SCAM,
LIKE A MONEY-LAUNDERING SCAM,
AND MELANIE FOUND OUT?
DO NOT TRY TO POINT THE FINGER
AT VANESSA. DON'T DO IT.
WELL, I KNOW, OKAY?
I KNOW VANESSA
WAS AT THE AIRPORT,
AND SHE HAS
A VERY TIGHT ALIBI...
RIGHT. SO STOP. STOP.
HERE YOU GO, HERE'S YOUR PURSE.
YOU GO HOME. I...
OKAY, FINE.
HANNAH...
NO, IT'S FINE.
HOLD ON.
LOOK, H-HA...
LOOK, JUST STOP, JUST STOP,
PLEASE, PLEASE.
I AM SORRY.
I AM SORRY.
I KNOW YOU'RE JUSTRYING TO HELP.
I KNOW YOU ARE.
I JUST WANT THIS CASE
TO BE OVER WITH,
'CAUSE IT'S REALLY STARTING
TO GET TO ME, ALL RIGHT, AND...
THE TRUTH IS,
BEING FORCED
TO STAY AWAY FROM YOU
IS, LIKE, A HUNDRED TIMES
HARDER FOR ME
THAN I THOUGHIT WAS GOING TO BE.
I WANT THIS TO BE OVER
SO WE CAN JUST GO OUT,
AND-- AND GET A SANDWICH,
AND HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT.
AND I PROMISE,
GLORIA WILL NOT GO TO JAIL
IF I CAN RULE HER OUT, BUT...
UNTIL THEN...
YOU HAVE
TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
I'M GOING TO GO ACROSS
THE STREET REAL QUICK.
I THINK VANESSA'S
UP TO SOMETHING.
OKAY, WELL,
IF YOU'RE GOING THERE,
I'LL COME WITH YOU.
LET HIM.
I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
IT'LL JUST PUT HER
ON GUARD.
YOU GUYS CAN WATCH FROM
THE WINDOW IF YOU WANT,
AND I'LL CALL YOU
IF I GET INTO ANY TROUBLE.
VANESSA?
IF YOU'RE HERE TO
TALK KITCHEN EQUIPMENT,
I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN HERE
FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS.
A THOUSAND DOLLARS?
IT'S WORTH
THREE, FOUR TIMES THAT.
I DON'T CARE.
I JUST WANT TO BE DONE
WITH THIS PLACE.
I PLAN TO BE OUT OF HERE
BY MORNING AND NEVER LOOK BACK.
IS THAT WHAT YOU DID
AFTER YOUR HUSBAND DIED?
SOLD EVERYTHING?
I DON'T WANTO TALK ABOUT MY HUSBAND.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW
IF YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE
THIS EQUIPMENT OFF MY HANDS.
YEAH, I'D BE CRAZY NOT TO.
GOOD.
SEND A CHECK TO MY LAWYER
IN MINNEAPOLIS.
YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
I'LL TEXT YOU HIS ADDRESS.
HE'LL GET A DELIVERY COMPANY
TO HAUL EVERYTHING OVER TO YOU.
YOU KNOW, I'D BE HAPPY
TO ARRANGE FOR ALL THAT,
IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE ME
YOUR KEYS.
NO, I DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT.
ALL I WANT IS TO THROW
THESE USELESS MEMORIES
INTO THE DUMPSTER
AND FINISH PACKING.
IF YOU DON'T MIND
GETTING THE BACK DOOR FOR ME?
NO, I DON'T MIND.
DO YOU NEED HELP WITH THAT?
NO, I'D RATHER DO IT.
THERE YOU GO.
COULD YOU GETHAT LID FOR ME, TOO?
THE... YEAH, SURE.
THE GARBAGE LID, YEAH.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
THANKS, YEAH.
GOT IT?
YEAH.
FEELS GOOD TO GET RID
OF THAT BAD RUBBISH.
I'M SURE.
I'M GOING TO HEAD BACK
THIS WAY. GOOD NIGHT.
I'LL TELL MY LAWYER
TO LOOK FOR YOUR CHECK.
YEAH, THANKS.
HEY, HANNAH,
ARE YOU OKAY?
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT,
YOU WANT ME
TO MEET YOU WHERE?
WHAT'D SHE SAY?
OKAY, ON MY WAY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
IS SHE COMING?
DID SHE HEAR THAT?
NO.
I DON'T THINK SO, NO.
OKAY.
WHOA, HANNAH!
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME
I'VE HAD TO LOOK
THROUGH A DUMPSTER FOR EVIDENCE.
JUST... OKAY, WELL, JUST...
I'LL DO IT.
HOW?
WHY DON'T YOU
JUST GIVE ME AN ARM?
OKAY.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL, ALL RIGHT?
JUST THE ONE
THAT YOU HAVE.
HERE, PUT YOUR FOOT HERE.
USE MY LEG.
THANK YOU.
CAREFUL.
WHOA, YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
YOU'RE NUTS.
HEY, LISTEN...
I WAS THINKING, NOW THAGLORIA'S BEEN ARRESTED,
AND YOU PROBABLY WON'T BE
SPENDING VALENTINE'S DAY
IN JAIL...
I WANT YOU TO HAVE DINNER
WITH ME.
YOU KNOW THAT PLACE
JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY
THAT OVERLOOKS
THE RIVER,
WITH THE DANCE FLOOR
THAT GLOWS?
YOU AND I DANCE
REALLY WELL TOGETHER.
I WANT YOU TO BE MY VALENTINE, HANNAH...
BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT IT, TOO.
I DON'T WANT TO BE
YOUR SECOND CHOICE.
I MEAN, I WON'T, I WON'T...
IS THAT...
IS THAT DOUGLAS?
THAT'S DOUGLAS.
HE'S FRIENDS
WITH VANESSA?
READ THE BACK.
"ROBERT PETERS AND ME."
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS THAT DOUGLAS
ISN'T DOUGLAS.
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO TELL MOTHER?
SHE'S HERE.
LISA, WILL YOU PLEASE FINISH
THE ORDER FOR THE DAIRY FOR ME?
SURE.
YOU KNOW I LOVE ORDERING.
- GOOD MORNING, DEARIES.
- GOOD MORNING.
SO, WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANTHAT IT COULDN'T WAIT?
UH, WHERE IS DOUGLAS?
WELL, YOU TOLD ME
NOT TO BRING HIM.
HE HAD A BREAKFAST MEETING
WITH A CLIENT ANYWAY.
MM.
GOOD GRIEF, WHAT'S WITH
THE DREARY FACES, GIRLS?
YOU'RE JUST INVITING WRINKLES
WITH THOSE FROWNS.
NO, NO, MOTHER.
MOTHER. PLEASE.
WHAT?
MOTHER,
SWEET MOTHER...
OH!
WE HAVE SOMETHING
TO TELL YOU.
HONEY... TWINS?
OH, NO, NO, NO.
WISHFUL THINKING.
OKAY...
WHAT?
SO... DOUGLAS HAD DINNER
WITH VANESSA QUINN RECENTLY?
WELL, I DON'T THINK
IT'S A RECENT PHOTO...
AND I DON'T THINK
HIS NAME IS DOUGLAS.
LOOK AT THE BACK.
WHAT?
MM...
I DON'T HAVE MY GLASSES, HANNAH.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
THE MAN YOU'VE BEEN SEEING,
HIS NAME ISN'T DOUGLAS.
HIS NAME IS
ROBERT PETERS.
LOOK.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THIS IS DOUGLAS.
HANNAH LOOKED HIM UP.
HE'S A CON MAN.
HE'S BEEN WORKING
THROUGH THE MIDWEST,
TAKING MONEY FROM PEOPLE.
HE'S BEEN ARRESTED TWICE.
WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE!
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT?
I PRINTED OUHIS MUG SHOT.
MOTHER...
WE KNOW HOW HAPPY
YOU'VE BEEN.
I BELIEVED EVERYTHING
HE TOLD ME.
EVERYTHING.
WAS I JUST A FOOL?
NO!
MOTHER, YOU TOOK A CHANCE
ON LOVE,
AND YOU SHOWED US
THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT.
HE IS THE FOOL, NOT YOU.
AND DON'T YOU DARE
BLAME YOURSELF
FOR ONE SECOND.
THIS MAN HAS MADE
AN ENTIRE CAREER
OUT OF SCAMMING MONEY
OUT OF PEOPLE.
WE JUST NEED TO KNOW
IF YOU GAVE HIM ANY MONEY.
NO.
WE ALSO THINK HE WAS WORKING
WITH A FEMALE PARTNER.
I THINK IT'S VANESSA.
JUST STOP.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE...
NOT UNTIL I SLAP HIS LYING FACE.
NO, MOTHER, YOU CAN'T...
ANDREA,
SHE CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.
SHE LEFT HER KEYS HERE.
SHOULD STILL GO AFTER HER,
CALM HER DOWN.
MOTHER!
NO, WAIT,
YOU CAN'T GO AFTER DOUGLAS YET!
OH, YES, I CAN!
WHERE ARE MY KEYS?
YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.
HE'LL BOLT.
I AM READY TO EXPLODE!
I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE
AND DO NOTHING!
OKAY, SHH, MOTHER,
YOU'RE MAKING A SCENE.
JUST CALM DOWN.
LET'S GO INSIDE.
ANDREA'S UPSET.
I'M SO UPSET.
THAT'S BAD FOR THE
BABY, DON'T YOU THINK?
OH... OH!
OH, ANDREA!
I THINK WE SHOULD
GO INSIDE,
AND CALM ANDREA DOWN,
TAKE CARE OF
YOUR GRANDBABY, RIGHT?
HOW ABOUSOME COOKIES?
YES, WE'LL HAVE
SOME COOKIES.
LISA!
COME UP WITH SOME
FABULOUS FUDGE COOKIES
FOR MY MOTHER AND SISTER.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
ABSOLUTELY.
THEY JUST CAME OUT OF THE OVEN.
THEY ARE CHOCOLATEY AND CHEWY...
OKAY, WAIT,
WAIT, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
WHAT?
I'M GOING TO STAY HERE
WITH HER,
YOU'RE GOING TO GO TALK
TO BILL AND MIKE.
WELL, I DON'T THINK
WE HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
TO GO
TO THE POLICE YET.
YES, WE DO!
NO, WE DON'T!
WHAT IF VANESSA HID THAT PHOTO
ON PURPOSE FOR ME TO...
YEAH, OH, YAY!
OH, GOOD!
OKAY, JUST ONE SECOND.
HAPPY FOR YOU.
BE RIGHT THERE.
IF SHE HID THAT PHOTO
ON PURPOSE,
THAT MEANS
SHE WAS SETTING DOUGLAS UP
TO TAKE THE BLAME
FOR SOMETHING SHE DID.
BUT, BUT NO, I MEAN, VANESSA?
THAT'S HER OWN SISTER!
WELL, SHE COULD HAVE HIRED
SOMEONE TO DO IT, RIGHT,
AND THEN SHE WAS TRYING
TO BLAME ME FOR IT,
AND THEN MAYBE
SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
THAT THE GUN
WAS GLORIA'S.
BUT THEN,
MAYBE IT'S DOUGLAS.
OKAY, WELL,
IF IT'S DOUGLAS,
THEN HE WAS STANDING
RIGHT HERE WITH MOTHER,
MAKING FUN OF HOW THE TWINS
DON'T KNOW HOW TO BAKE,
PLANNING TO MURDER VANESSA,
AND THEN HE SHOMELANIE BY ACCIDENT!
BUT SOMEONE'S TRYING
TO SET UP GLORIA.
THAT'S WHY THEY SENT THE MESSAGE
TO MEET VANESSA.
AND WHY THEY HID THE GUN THERE,
KNOWING
THAT IT WOULD BE FOUND.
WELL, THAT JUST MEANS
I HAVE TO GO
TO DOUGLAS' TOWNHOUSE.
I HAVE TO FIND SOME EVIDENCE.
OH, HOLD ON!
NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU ARE GOING TO LEAVE
THAT FOR BILL AND MIKE.
THAT IS THEIR JOB.
YOU REALLY THINK
MOTHER CAN PRETEND
LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG
FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME
THAT IT'LL TAKE THEM
TO ACTUALLY GEA SEARCH WARRANT?
GUESS WHAT? I DON'T NEED
A SEARCH WARRANT...
BECAUSE I HAVE THE KEY
TO HIS FRONT DOOR.
HANNAH!
WHAT IF HE CATCHES YOU?
THEN I'LL...
SAY THAT MOTHER IS PLANNING
A SURPRISE FOR HIM
FOR VALENTINE'S DAY.
OKAY, BUT...
I DON'T LIKE THIS.
NEITHER DO I,
BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THE RIGHT PERSON
ENDS UP IN HANDCUFFS.
WATCH THE CURB!
AAH!
HI. HI! SORRY!
UGH...
I DON'T FEEL VERY WELL.
I'M NOT SURPRISED.
YOU JUST ATE 10 COOKIES.
NO, IT'S NOT THAT.
A COOKIE NEVER
LETS YOU DOWN, ANDREA.
IT'S BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN SITTING THERE,
THINKING ABOUT DOUGLAS SITTING
RIGHT OVER THERE
THIS WHOLE TIME,
PRETENDING TO HELP
CLEAR HANNAH'S NAME,
AND ALL THE WHILE,
KEEPING HIS VILE SECRETS.
OH...
HE'S A DECEIVER.
MM-HMM.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
I AM SO GLAD THAT HANNAH
IS DOWN AT THAT POLICE STATION
RIGHT NOW, AND...
YOU KNOW WHAT?
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'M GOING TO GO DOWN THERE
RIGHT NOW, TOO,
AND TELL THEM EVERYTHING I KNOW.
NO, NO, WAIT,
YOU CANNOT DO THAT.
SHE IS NOT ACTUALLY ATHE POLICE STATION YET.
SHE IS...
COLLECTING EVIDENCE.
- COLLECTING EVIDENCE?
- YEAH.
WHERE?
UM...
ANDREA LYNN...
WHERE IS YOUR SISTER?
AND PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME
SHE IS AT DOUGLAS' TOWNHOUSE.
OKAY, I WILL NOT TELL YOU THASHE'S AT DOUGLAS'S TOWNHOUSE.
OH...
WELL, I'M...
I'M GOING TO GO
GET HER OUT OF THERE,
RIGHT NOW.
NO, YOU CAN'T.
HANNAH HAS YOUR KEYS.
HA! WHAT HAVE I ALWAYS
TOLD YOU GIRLS?
HIDE A KEY.
HIDE A KEY.
HA!
[DOOR OPENS, VANESSA]:
UPSTAIRS, NOW.
VANESSA,
WHATEVER YOU'RE THINKING,
YOU'RE WRONG.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE EXCUSES.
THIS IS WHAT YOU ALWAYS DO.
STOP TALKING.
JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE.
JUST STOP.
VANESSA...
SHUT UP.
IF YOU'D JUSGIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN...
IT'S A LITTLE DRAMATIC,
DON'T YOU THINK?
WE COULD TALK IT OVER
LIKE RATIONAL ADULTS.
OH, WE'RE GOING
TO TALK, ALL RIGHT.
SIT DOWN, ROBERT, NOW.
GOT A LOTO TALK ABOUT...
DON'T WE, BOBBY?
WHATEVER YOU'RE THINKING,
YOU'RE WRONG.
THEY ARRESTED GLORIA.
WELL, THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHWHEN THEY CALLED ME ON SUNDAY,
THAT GLORIA WAS GUNNING FOR ME
AND GOT MELANIE BY MISTAKE...
BUT THEN MIKE TOLD ME
THAT BERETTA WAS FOUND
AT THE COOKIE JAR...
THE BERETTA REGISTERED
TO GLORIA...
THE GUN I FOUND IN NEIL'S SAFE,
THE GUN I GAVE YOU
TO SELL FOR ME...
BUT YOU DIDN'T SELL IT,
DID YOU, ROBERT?
KITCHEN COUNTER.
NOW MOVE IT.
YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN
BY LEAVING IT THERE,
I'D FIGURE OUIT WAS YOU.
N-NO...
YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE ON YOUR WAY TO THE MORGUE,
WITH EVERYTHING POINTING
AT GLORIA. ARGH!
PERFECT.
AS SOON AS I SAW HER COME
IN THE COOKIE JAR, I KNEW...
SHE WAS MY COVER.
JUST HAD TO GET HER
TO THE WRONG PLACE
AT THE WRONG TIME,
AND I WOULD BE RID OF YOU.
OH, COME ON.
YOU BEGGED ME TO WORK FOR YOU.
AND THEN I TOLD YOU
IT WAS OVER!
WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
I JUST WANT TO GET OUT,
MARRY DELORES...
BUT YOU COULDN'T TAKE IT,
COULD YOU?
YOU JUST COULDN'T TAKE
SEEING ME HAPPY.
WE WERE PARTNERS.
WE HAD A BUSINESS DEAL.
YOU BLACKMAILED ME,
AFTER WHAT I DID FOR YOU!
OH, YOU MADE IT SO EASY.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
I WAS RECORDING YOU
SMOTHERING NEIL
WITH THAT PILLOW.
YOU HANDED ME THE PILLOW!
GOD, IS IT ANY SURPRISE
I WANT TO PUT A BULLEIN YOUR BACK?
YOU KILLED MY SISTER.
I WAS TRYING FOR YOU.
WELL, NOW IT'S GOING TO BE YOU.
THINK YOU CAN SHOOT ME
JUST 'CAUSE YOU GOT THAT VIDEO?
YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND.
I'M NOT GOING
TO SHOOT YOU, BOBBY.
I'M GOING
TO SHOVE THIS KNIFE...
STRAIGHT INTO YOUR HEART...
AND GUESS WHO IT BELONGS TO?
YOUR PRECIOUS DELORES.
YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
YOU DIE,
AND ALL THE EVIDENCE
WILL POINT TO DELORES.
I MADE SURE
SHE'D FIND OUWHO YOU REALLY ARE
FROM HER DAUGHTER,
THE ONE
MIKE CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT...
THE ONE WHO'S SO NOSY,
SHE'LL JUMP INTO A DUMPSTER.
I LET HANNAH FIND A PICTURE
OF YOU AND ME,
YOUR REAL NAME WRITTEN ON IT.
I SAW HER CHASING HER MOTHER
DOWN MAIN STREET,
FILE IN HER HAND.
I EXPECT DELORES
WILL BE HERE ANY MINUTE,
DEMANDING ANSWERS...
AND SHE'LL FIND YOU HERE,
WITH A KNIFE IN YOUR CHEST,
AND I'LL BE OUTSIDE,
CALLING THE POLICE.
VANESSA...
YOU'VE GOT TO KILL ME,
THAT'S FINE.
LEAVE DELORES OUT OF IT.
IT'S TOO LATE.
SHE'S ALREADY HERE.
DON'T MOVE.
NO, MOTHER, DON'T!
IT'S A TRICK!
HANNAH!
ALL UNITS TO...
HANNAH!
REPEAT,
EVERYONE AVAILABLE...
- WHAT IN THE WORLD?
- MOTHER!
WE GOT THE GUN!
ON YOUR FEET.
ON YOUR FEET!
ROBERT KILLED
MY HUSBAND AND SISTER!
I WAS CRAZY
WITH GRIEF.
ALL RIGHT!
NO JURY WOULD CONVICT ME.
I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THAT, VANESSA.
I AM PRETTY SURE
THE JURY IS GOING
TO WANT TO HEAR THIS.
YOU BLACKMAILED ME,
AFTER WHAT I DID FOR YOU!
OH, YOU MADE IT SO EASY.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE
I WAS RECORDING YOU
SMOTHERING NEIL
WITH THAT PILLOW.
YOU HANDED ME THE PILLOW!
HEY, HEY, EASY!
GET HER OUT.
GET HER OUT.
HANNAH! HANNAH!
WHERE-- WHERE'S DOUGLAS?
HE WENT THAT WAY.
HE WAS RUNNING!
OKAY, NO, YOU STAY.
YOU STAY.
YOU CAN'T LET HIM
GET AWAY.
BILL'S GOT IT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
BILL'S GOT IT.
THAT WAS FOR MELANIE!
DELORES, NO.
NO, NO,
I DID THAT...
FOR YOU.
FOR US.
SO WE COULD BE TOGETHER.
JUST STOP LYING.
YOU'RE A LOWLIFE
AND A CON MAN.
NO, I'M NOT.
NOT ANYMORE.
I WAS, BUT...
I WANTED
TO GET BETTER FOR YOU.
DELORES, I LOVE YOU.
DELORES, STAY THERE,
STAY THERE, STAY THERE.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
YOU STAY ON THE GROUND.
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING UP
IN THREE, TWO, ONE... UP!
HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHTO REMAIN SILENT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY
CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHTO AN ATTORNEY.
IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD ONE,
ONE WILL BE APPOINTED TO YOU.
WATCH YOUR HEAD.
LET'S GO.
COME HERE.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME
THAT MELANIE IS GOING
TO HAVE JUSTICE,
SO THANK YOU
FOR NOT GIVING UP
UNTIL WE HAD THE TRUTH.
I NEVER GOT A CHANCE
TO TELL YOU ABOUT DOUGLAS.
HOW DID YOU KNOW
TO COME HERE?
WHY ARE YOU
ALWAYS SURPRISED
WHEN I KNOW
HOW TO DO MY JOB?
OKAY, IT WAS YOU
WHO MADE ME RETHINK
WHAT I THOUGHT I KNEW
ABOUT VANESSA,
WHICH LED ME
TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER,
WHICH LED ME
FIND THE MUG SHOT OF...
ROBERT PETERS.
RIGHT.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
SO ARE YOU GOING
TO SCOLD ME
FOR SHOWING UP HERE
INSTEAD OF CALLING YOU?
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY...
AS SOON AS I FINISH
THE HOURS OF PAPERWORK
THAT I HAVE TO DO.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, UM...
TOMORROW NIGHT,
TAKE YOU OUT FOR DINNER,
AND, OF COURSE,
THE APPROPRIATE SCOLDING.
TOMORROW'S
VALENTINE'S DAY.
SO IT IS.
ARE YOU ASKING ME
TO BE YOUR VALENTINE, MIKE?
YES, SURE.
I'LL EVEN CUT YOU OUA LITTLE MINI-HEAROUT OF CONSTRUCTION PAPER
WHILE I'M AT IT.
WHY DO I GETHE FEELING
THAT YOU'RE
NOT A BIG FAN
OF VALENTINE'S DAY?
NO... THE DAY IS FINE.
I JUST, UM...
WELL, BASICALLY,
I JUST WANT TO BE WITH YOU.
I DON'T NEED
TO MAKE A STATEMENT,
THAT'S ALL.
I SEE.
DO YOU?
'CAUSE I'M...
I'M NOT SURE THAT YOU DO.
NO, MIKE, I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
YOUR WIFE DIED
NOT THAT LONG AGO, AND...
AND YOU'RE NOT READY
TO MAKE SOME... BIG STATEMENT.
I GET IT.
THERE THEY ARE.
THOSE POWERS OF DEDUCTION.
LOOK...
I, UM...
WELL, REGARDLESS
OF WHAT THE CALENDAR SAYS,
I WOULD LOVE...
TO TAKE YOU
OUT TO DINNER
TOMORROW NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
CHOCOLATE CHIP, SUGAR, SHORTBREAD,
LEMON BAR, GINGER SNAP...
A BAKERY OFFERS ITS CUSTOMERS
SO MANY CHOICES.
SOME PEOPLE KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT IMMEDIATELY.
SOME PEOPLE
STAND FOR A LONG TIME,
TRYING TO DECIDE.
TO THOSE WHO STAND IN MY SHOP,
TRYING SO HARD
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY WANT,
I ALWAYS SAY THERE IS NO RUSH.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
OH!
YOU, TOO?
BILL HAD TO WORK.
THANK YOU, MOTHER.
OH, IT'S LOVELY,
HANNAH!
THANK YOU!
