"Can I talk to you?" "Hey,handsome." "You did great today." "Oh,come on." "You're not still mad about losing to my dad?" "No." "Well... then what?" "You'd choose me,right?" "What?"

"Oh,my God, why is he calling you?" "You didn't invite him, did you?" "Of course not." "­ You told me he was leaving." "Wait,he's here on the island?" "Does Henry know?" "No,and you are forbidden to tell him,Beth." "Okay,I-I'm taking care of the Hunter situation." "The way you did in college?" "That's not fair." "What happened in college?" "Let's just say that Trish's mouth said go away,but her body said..." "Okay,that was different." "Okay?" "I love Henry, and I am marrying him in this dress in three days." "Okay?" "How on earth did you land her?" "Well," "I graduated from Cambridge." "I'm a medical doctor, an expert philatelist." "I think it's the accent." "I wake up every day praying she doesn't meet a cooler British person." "Or any other British person." "That's fine." "I know for a fact he isn't British." "Isn't that the guy that left you" "­ hanging in the woods all day?" "Yep." "He apologized,though." "Hey,Ruth,thanks for the call about Hunter Jennings." "Not a problem."

"Well,I like touchable." "Mmm,tastes pretty good,too." "Why aren't you doing it?" "Because I'm already touchable." "Well,maybe when we're finished, you and I can compare." "I'll be back in about ten minutes." "So I got to ask-- this English guy-- you know, he seems decent enough." "But really, what-what's he got that I don't got?" "A pillow." "What?" "* Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa" "* Whoa,whoa, whoa,whoa,whoa... *" "Well-played,my love." "You are dead!" "Come here,you English piece of crap!" "Looks like Pooh Bear got in the honey pot." "I wouldn't mind a more recent picture,if you've got one." "I need to talk to you." "Okay by me." "­ I don't think Kelly killed herself." "Really?" "Is that what JD Dunn said to you?" "­Candlewick Maggie Krell saw him leave the Candlewick with Kelly." "­ Why are you questioning Maggie" "If you think Kelly committed suicide?" "I don't have to explain my methods to you." "Oh,because you're so open and honest about everything else." "Abby,look, I don't want to do this." "I am doing the best..." "The only deaths we have had on this island" "In the last seven years have been from" "Illness or old age." "­ Kelly is a tragedy," "No matter how she died." "I'm just trying to do right by her." "I heard Shane was giving her grief about Wakefield yesterday." "Yeah." "But... since you're not investigating anything," "There's no real reason to go talk to him,is there?" "Bye,Dad." "Sheriff." "Shane." "I reckon you've heard." "Can't believe she really did it." "I mean,she used to talk sometimes,but..." "I never thought that... ­ People say you saw Kelly at The Cannery yesterday," "Gave her a pretty good scare." "Yep." "I feel pretty bad about that." "And not that it's any of your business," "­ But Kelly and I broke up a while back." "Harmon It was at a party at Harmon Beach." "Ask around,man." "Swells I'm in with the Swells now." "Well,congratulations on that." "You see JD Dunn today?" "Nope." "Then again," "We ain't real tight,you know." "You take care." "You hear that?" "­ Sheriff thinks you killed Kelly." "You know what?" "I think he's right." "I'm sorry,it's just," "I'm just really pissed at her." "Nikki So you think she really did it,Nikki." "No." "­ I'll tell you who did it." "It was that bastard John Wakefield." "­ He's dead." "You and I know that." "­ I'm just telling you what Kelly believed." "She saw Wakefield in every shadow." "3 You know,she'd call me at 3:00 in the morning," "Convinced that he'd been in her room." "You know,I hate to say it,but..." "Maybe she killed herself so he couldn't." "I'm sorry,Abby." "I didn't mean to talk so much about Wakefield." "That's okay." "What if it wasn't all in her head?" "What if someone really was stalking her?" "­ Who?" "Shane?" "He was pretty pissed when" "She broke up with him." "Angry enough to hurt her?" "Yeah." "Yeah,he got really rough with her." "­ You know,I'd find her,like," "Crying and..." "Covering up her bruises with makeup." "You know,I told her to talk to your dad," "To get a restraining order," "But she wouldn't listen to me,you know." "Said it would make things worse." "Now I don't know what to think." "It's open." "You lied to Trish." "She saw us together." "I had no choice." "What if I can still get Trish to leave with me?" "­ That deal's off the table." "All right,well, here's a new deal for you." "5 I'll leave tonight,alone,but it's gonna cost you 50 grand." "Or I can tell Trish the truth," "That this was all your idea." "She'll never believe you." "Then we'll see." "214" "Shane?" "You in?" "Are you looking for me?" "­ You know what Kelly's problem was?" "She was just so desperate for attention" "That she didn't even care what kind" "Of a nut job she got it from." "Come on,Shane." "No,no,no." "I'm not listening to you." "­ Kelly did,Kelly listened, and look what happened to her." "Were you talking to her about L.A.?" "What the hell did you think she was gonna do when she got there?" "I don't know, but sh-she wanted to try." "She wanted a fresh start." "There's no such thing." "­ Moving was not gonna save Kelly." "She took him with her everywhere she went." "She dug his name into her skin." "Aren't you the one who gave her the Wakefield tattoos?" "She wanted those." "They were her idea." "Then why do you sound so guilty?" "It's not your fault,Shane." "It's not JD's either." "I know what really happened." "That's why I came here-- to tell you." "­ Kelly was murdered." "What?" "You..." "No,you... you don't know that." "I do,too." "­ Kelly was right." "It was Wakefield." "He was after her." "He was the one who did it." "You know, you're as daft as she was." "I know you're worried people might blame you, but I know you love Kelly." "She wouldn't shut up about Wakefield." "Well,she knew." "She..." "She could feel him... watching her and coming into her house in the middle of the night." "I didn't believe her." "And that's how he got away with it." "Nobody did." "­ He chose Kelly because no one would believe her." "John Wakefield slipped the noose around her neck, just like he did to her mother." "She probably didn't even struggle." "In a way, it's what she wanted... what she needed to find peace." "­ And then, he yanked her up and watched her die." "Shane!" "Drop the knife!" "What does Richard think?" "Everyone thinks commercial real estate's a sinkhole right now, and I'm happy to let them think that." "Of course,Richard wants to play it safe." "I know grandmothers with more investment savvy." "I'll leave you two alone." "I know you got a lot of money, and you can say whatever you think,but you're a bully, and I'm tired of it." "I hope your toast is a little more eloquent than that." "My toast isn't your problem." "I know you brought Hunter here." "Don't worry,I'm not going to tell Trish,but know this:" "I'm marrying her, and I'm going to make her happy," "whether you approve of me or not." "Come on." "That was some story you told in there about Wakefield still being alive." "I was just trying to distract Shane." "I think" "­ he's blaming himself for Kelly's death." "­ I don't think Kelly killed herself, but I don't think Shane did it." "What do you think?" "I don't know," "­ but Kelly was a sweet girl, and if someone did that to her... if someone hung her up to die," "I'm gonna make sure that person pays." "Dude,you are so shiny." "Yeah,and I smell really great,too." "Sorry about today,mate." "Totally my bad." "I owe you a beer,okay?" " That's harsh." " Truly." "Our best player just got played." "Okay..." "I am going to kill Cal." "No." "No,you're not." "You left him hanging like a piata." "He got you back." "You're even." "Awesome." "$50000 or I tell Trish the truth -by Hunter" "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "I would like to thank my future father-in-law," "Thomas Wellington, for this dinner, for this week, and most importantly, for fathering the most amazing woman I have ever met." "Thank you." "Now,I'll be honest-- some of my friends wondered if Mr. Wellington would ever accept the guy" "­ that used to clean his boat as his son-in-law, but the... lovely and surprising truth is he doesn't have a choice." "­ To Thomas Wellington." "Health,wealth and all happiness." "­ Cheers." "­ Hello?" "That was foolish." "Your check." "But you'll never speak to my daughter again." "Sheriff kills suspect" " John Wakefield" "The Candlewick Inn" "Hey,Doc." "The red in Kelly's eyes..." "I can't explain how or why, but,Sheriff... it was ink." "Okay."
