"Come on in." " Oh you shouldn't have done this." "Sally, where's Eddie?" "Oh, I don't think he's going to make it." "Oh well, he's probably just caught up in traffic, it backs up bad on the North Bridge." " Yeah well, he should be here." "Don't worry about it I see enough of him every day." "Now he's up at Hammerhead almost every weekend, that house must be a palace at this point." "Yeah, it was in pretty bad shape." "His Grandfather did almost no maintenance by the end." "But um it's about eighty five percent done now, so!" "A dream house in the country." "I'm so jealous of you." "O. K, twenty Five years and you're jealous." "Oh, you'll get there." "Well, congratulations again, you two deserve it." "I'm going to head out." "Hey, do you want a lift?" " No, no, it's five blocks from here." "Let me stop at least." "Does this mean you're not mad anymore?" "Why, 'cause you wanted a couple days to yourself?" "Don't be ridiculous." " Good." "I didn't even notice you were gone." " Good." "And I certainly didn't miss you all day, all day long." "Let's go home." "Is this the closest you can park?" " It's the only one for blocks." "That is one thing I'm not going to miss about the city." "Yeah, I am starving" " Well you're in luck." "Yeah?" " Yeah, compliments of Marcia's and Vic's anniversary party, which at, by the way, you were missed." "Yeah well." "Traffic was bad, especially over the North Bridge." "Ah haaa..." "Why is anniversary cake never as good as birthday cake?" "Because birthdays are for kids, cakes are for kids." "And it's a kid thing it's not an anniversary thing." "Sally did you do the?" " Yeah, it was a negative." "Look, it's still too early." " I waited this time." "Honey that doesn't mean anything." "It's still too soon." "You still can be pregnant." " I thought for sure this time." "A couple of weeks we do the test again." "O.K." " O. K?" "We'll be O.K. Right?" " Yeah." " Change, folks?" "Over on second, two blocks down, there's decent shelter there." "Wait, wait." " Sally, No, Sally." "Yes, we don't need it." " No, Sally..." "You really think you can save the world one junkie at a time?" "I'm not trying to save anyone." "Wait till I get you home little lady." "You'll get what you deserve." "Don't stop..." "I have to." "No." " Yes." "No, no, don't stop." " I have to stop." "Come here." "I love you." " I love you, too." "What was that?" " What?" "There's someone in the house." "There's someone in the house." "Shhh!" "Stay here." "Sally!" " Eddie!" " Stay here." "Stop where you are." "I'm a police officer and I'm armed." "Come out with your hands up, nobody gets hurt." "I'm not going to warn you again." "It does not have to be this way." "Alright!" "It does not have to be this way." "No, Eddie!" "Eddie!" "You're going to be O.K. What?" " Freddie, Freddie..." "No, no, no, no..." "I'm so sorry!" "Call me anytime." "Whereas area equals squares, volume equals cubes, so quadrilateral equations must be..." "I'm sorry kids, I can't do this anymore." "Hello?" " In here." "Hey Sal." "How are you holding up?" "You ought to know." "You got one uniform or another shadowing me all the time." "Until we know what happened, I'm not taking any chances." "I know what happened." "We don't know why." "We don't know who and we don't know if he's planning a return visit." "If he was a junkie he's long gone." "If he's a burglar he's got better things to do." "Would you please call the tail off of me." "What if it's an ex-con with a grudge." " I can take care of myself." "With what, that thing in your pocket?" "Let me cut to the chase Sal." "For you I happen to know, teaching is like breathing, you can't help yourself." "So when I hear you're thinking about not going back to work..." "Why don't you tell that to someone who still cares?" "You're not the only person whose world ever fell apart." "He was like a little brother to me." "I know..." "Which is what I told them from internal." "There's no way Eddie was involved in anything." "What are you talking about?" "I was hoping it would all be cleared up and forgotten by the time you found out about it." "But... there's some evidence missing from that sting Eddie organized." "Are you telling me they think he's dirty?" "No." "I'm saying no." "I'm going to get the guy that did this." "Right..." "Sal, you cannot hide out from the world in here." "Not from the world, not from yourself." "I know that Vic, I know, I can't stay here anymore." "You got someplace to go?" "I'm going to the house that Eddie built for us." "Sal, Sal..." "Sal, you know I'm always only a phone call away." "I know that." "Thank you, I appreciate it." "I got to go." "You're going be O. K?" "Yeah." "Call me." "Sherriff Riddell, fellows." " Duncan." "Afternoon Kirsty." "Is he in a good mood?" "Typical." "I'd say it's still touch and go." "No classes?" "Oh just study time." "Overtime is overtime you got to get what you can." "Stan." "That's a good kid that Kirsten." "Duncan." "How're you doing?" "Well, to tell you the truth I'd rather be out on my boat." "Well, the fish will wait." " Sure." "Where are they going to go?" "Things O.K. At home?" "I don't mean to pry." "Can't be easy." "Doc thinks we caught it in time." "I guess the biggest worry now is the insurance." "Ain't that the truth?" "Yeah, I love Arlene." "I'd do anything for her but just sometimes it wears you down." "You know?" "Tests come back O. K?" "Holding her own." "Stan you know I wouldn't do this if I didn't have to." "I'm not your mother." "I appreciate it Stan, thanks." "Right in here?" "Yeah." "I'd wait a couple of days if I were you." "I wish I could." "O.K. Eddie." "I'm home." "Dirk." "Dirk!" "What is the matter with you." "You stupid, stupid idiot." "I did two years hard time and I'm not going back in." "Not for you." "Not for anybody." "What did I do?" "I got a call from a guy in Stratton who I don't even know, from Adam." "Stratton." "Wants to know if we could do business." "Said you gave him my number." "He's a good guy." "I know him." "You know nothing." "I don't want to see you around here again." "You got that." "Your money is no good here." "Yeah!" " I think I just saw her?" "Saw her?" "Her Who?" "Who's her?" " Come on you must have seen her." "She had to drive right through town in a black pick up." "Eddie Hanson's widow?" "Yeah, I saw her." "Well you're going do something about it?" "What, I got a choice?" "Hi." "Gary Sharp." "Hope this isn't a bad time" "For what?" "To stop by and say Hi." " Hi." "I knew Ed." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Hi, it's nice to meet you." "Oh..." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you." "It's beautiful." "Um..." "Can I get you something?" "No, thanks." "I can't stay." "Well you didn't just come over here to bring me a plant did you?" "You understand, it's just business." "The plant?" "No, not the plant." "Ed!" "I came to talk about Ed." "Don't make it hard." "You know what I'm talking about." "I think you better leave." "There's some, you know, pharmaceuticals missing." "How dare you come to my house..." "A couple hundred thousand dollars worth, missing." "If you think Eddie had anything..." " We all think Eddie." "Now listen I need to see the pills or the money." "You need a couple of days to jog your memory." "You got it." "Ed would never be involved in something like that." "That's very convincing." "I'd hate to see something happen to you." "Being Eddie's widow and all." "Yeah, I'd hate to see that." "I can't." "This house and a couple of photographs of Eddie is all I have." "I'm not running away from that now." "IA investigations are sealed but Eddie's sting is still making big news in the drug world and I'm sure the drug dealers out there have a direct line to what's going on here." "But why Eddie." "There was at least a dozen other cops on that sting." "Is he being framed?" "I don't know, I don't." "Don't worry about it." "Both know what their investigation is going to prove." "Eddie was an honest cop." "Thanks for saying that." "Listen Marcia sends her love and remember, if you ever need to get out of there." "You got a bedroom waiting here for you." "Thanks." "Take care Sal." "I waited this time." "Honey it doesn't mean anything." "It's too soon, you can still be pregnant." "I love you." " I love you too." "What are you doing in my house?" "Oh, my God." "Here, here, run!" " Get out!" "What are you doing?" "Get out!" "I'm sorry, We didn't know anyone lived here anymore." "Brad what the hell were you thinking?" "I thought you said the house was abandoned." "Sit!" "Um, lie down." " Looks like he kind a took to you." "Whoa stop." "Sit!" "Sit!" "Oh Hey!" "Good boy Dutch." "Good boy." "Good boy." "That a boy, Dutch." "Dutch." " That's his name." "O.K. Dutch." "Duncan Tillman." "Hi." " Hi." "I'm next place over." "Out for a drive." "Thought I'd stop in, say hello." "You know something I got to tell you." "Everybody in town is talking about you." "Yeah I bet." "Oh, it's nothing bad." "Everybody knew Eddie." "We all heard what happened." "You knew Eddie?" "Yeah a little bit." "I'm just new here myself." "Not even twenty years." "Twenty years?" "What does that make me?" "Just an eyelash better than summer folk." "I'm kidding." "You're going to find that folks around here they take a little time to warm up." "You know they still call my place the old Clark farm." "Suppose they won't call it after my name til I'm dead and buried you know." "Well to be honest I'm not so friendly myself." "Well that's good you know." "This town is already full up with nice people." "Be good to have you around for the change." "But seriously people are going respect your privacy and keep their distance, so it's up to you to make the first move." "You'll find they're friendly." "That's good to know." "Thanks." "And you know, you got a big advantage." "Everybody sure liked Eddie." "We all believe in him." "What do you mean believe in him?" "Well you know the rumours." "What Rumours?" "Oh, people talk, it doesn't mean anything." "Well the next time someone says something about Eddie, why don't you tell them to come and talk to me?" "Right." "I'll do that." "Nice to meet you." " And You." "So long Dutch." "So your name is Dutch." "Let's go." "Looks like we're going to be friends." "Good Morning." " Ah." "Miss Hansen." "So I heard you're starting the repairs up again at the old place." "Oh yeah?" "And how would you know that?" "Oh say you wanted bathroom wallpaper." "Store in town doesn't sell it." "You phone an order into Willoughby's." "Your order has to be picked up." "The delivery driver is my second cousin." "He picks up an order for you at "Wallpapers 'R' Us"." "He happens to mention it and then we, uh, all know your putting up new wallpaper." "And here I thought you were Sherlock Holmes." "No not me." "No need." "Small town, new secrets shared every day." "Something I can help you with?" " Yeah." "Optimorphine." "You need a prescription for this." "Oh no, I don't need a prescription." "I found them in the house and just wanted to know what they were." "Don't remember Old man Hansen needing these." "That man was never sick a day in his life until the end of course." "There for severe pain." "The pills are micro-encapsulated for time release." "Instead of taking something every few hours these last all day." "Why would someone crush them up?" "To get high." "Grinding them down defeats the coating." "They get a whole dose at once." "It's like shooting up." "Small town heroine." "That's it except it's everywhere." "Well I do appreciate your time." "Thanks." "Kirsten, glad you're here." "I have a couple orders that need to go out right away." "My daughter Kirsten." "Miss Hansen." "Sally." "Call me Sally." "Nice to meet you." "Thanks for your help." "Hey, wait up!" "Um, thanks." "I mean like thanks for not saying anything to my dad that was really cool and I..." "It's Ok, it's Ok." "Like my husband used to say:" "Sometimes you give somebody a second chance and they take it." "Oh and I was going to say, for skipping the lecture." "Wasn't that big of a lecture." "Dutch, baby." "You know him, too?" "Yeah well." "He's actually my brother's dog, so." "Your brother's dog." "I found him half starved on my farm." "Yeah I know." "Dirk has some problems and he just sort of left home and took Dutch with him." "And just lets him roam wild." "Well why should he care if Dutch is my dog now?" "I don't know, but he would." "I mean if he saw Dutch with you it would be a problem." "Well, let's not make it a problem." "O.K. Well Ah." "I'll see you later." "Bye." "Hello?" "Come on." "Hello!" "Oh my God." "Hello?" "Come on." "Come On." "Sorry!" "Please put that down." "I didn't mean to scare you." "Who are you?" "What are you doing on my property?" "Running." " What?" "It's like jogging only faster." "I've been running across this property for a couple of years now the guy who was fixing it said it was O.K." "At least no one here wanted to kill me for it." "Yeah, sorry about that." "It's not you I've had some trouble on my property recently." "Oh if you don't want me running across your property." "To be honest." "I did come here for the privacy." "Well I hate to be the bearer of Bad news, but this is a small town." "You can't expect any privacy." "Yes I can." "Right." "O.K. In future I'll cut across Arlene's and Duncan's place." "Thank you." "Well it's been a damn pleasure meeting but ah." "I got to go." "Maybe we'll meet again some year." "O.K." "Hello." "Yes this is..." "What!" "O. K, O.K. Calm down." "Yeah, I'll be right there." "Stay Dutch, stay." "Thank you for getting here so quick." "The doctor?" "Did you call the doctor." "Yeah he said just give her more pills." "It's empty." "Well this is a new prescription you should have." "Optimorphine." "I need to get going into town." "Can you just look after her for a while?" "No!" "You can't leave me here." "You stay, I'll go." " No, I got to do this, O. K?" "Duncan No!" "Don't leave me." "I can't, I can't, I can't." "No!" " Yes you can." "Yes you can." "Just a little further." "Should have kept some of them, Idiot should have kept some." "It was my idea." "I shouldn't have listened for days just like this just for that." "We're almost there." " It's not that bad." "Hell it's not that bad." "I think I can feel It myself." "O.K." "We needed the money." "You know we did." "He's going to help us out, don't worry." "In you go, there you go." "Thank you." " Your welcome." "Duncan!" "What's going on?" "Sorry." "I figured it just was better not to come in." "You know." "Not to come in." "Is there a problem?" "Problem no of course not." "It it's Arlene." "She's having a real bad day." "Yeah well, I'm real sorry to hear that." "Listen Gary I need to buy back a few of those pills." "Come on Duncan you know I can't do that." "They're gone by now." "Well, just a few, Gary." "You know I'd help you if I could." "Gary we can't get another prescription for ten days." "Yeah I know it's hard." " Ten days!" "Gary!" "You brought her here." "What, are you nuts?" "She's sick man you shouldn't be dragging her around in the car." "I couldn't leave her." "Don't you ever do this to me again." "Well where else am I going to go man?" "Where else are we going go?" "There's half a dozen in there." "Make them last." "Thank You Gary." "Thank You." "Thanks Gary." "Yeah, hey Arlene." "I'm just saying that part of the preparation for being a teacher are is to take drug training courses." "So I went down to the library," "I downloaded some information." "I'm thinking about starting a group." "I think that we can really change something here." "First of all I appreciate your concern but I think maybe you're just a little over concerned." "Over Concerned?" "Hammerhead does not have a drug problem." "At least not the scope that you're describing." "A few dopers," "I'm sure some pill popping on occasion like any American city, but it's mostly the summer people." "When the seasons over, it goes away." "You can't believe that." "I'm going to tell you what I do believe." "I know this town better than someone who just moved here a couple of weeks ago." "I know, I'm sure you do." " I know Eddie was a cop." "And I know you think you know something about being one." "But this ain't the big city, things are real different here." "Maybe you got a good idea." "But you need to slow down a little bit." "You can't come rushing in here like you know people." "I am not rushing." "You want to give me some specific names," "I'll be happy to look into it for you." "I don't have any names." "Well what about these people that are selling their prescriptions?" "I don't have names." "See what I mean." "You got no one for me to arrest." "So what are we talking about here?" "Sally, Sally!" "Wait up a sec." "Um, I made this pie in home ec." "It actually turned out this time!" "You seem surprised." "Oh it's actually the first thing I ever made and considered eating." "Um." "You want to try it?" "Sure." "I've met your dad, but I haven't met your Mom yet." "What's she like?" "She died when I was about four." "So I don't really remember her." "I'm sorry." "No, yeah, I think it's better this way." "My brother Dirk remembers her really well." "I think that's what got him so screwed up." "You know when you lose someone really important to you," "I don't know if you ever get over it." "He should be finishing college or going to medical school or something." "But instead he's just this screwed up junkie." "Don't look at me like that." "I may like smoke and play around a little but, he's..." "It's just not the same thing." "What's up with you leaving those pills in my kitchen?" "They were Brad." "I, you don't have to say it." "I don't do that stuff." "So then what were you doing?" "It's Brad, he likes it." "I mean... it's just like part of growing up here, I mean, all the kids have tried it at least once." "They think I'm weird cause I won't do it." "Well, I think your smarter than your friends." "That stuff is really dangerous." "Enough with the lecture, you said Dirk should be going to college." "What about you?" "You want to go to college?" "Oh no." "I'm not as smart as him and I keep screwing up my practice SATS." "You know math." "I could help." "You'd tutor me?" "If you wanted." "Ah I don't know." "I'm probably just no good at it." "Oh come on math is just logic and common sense." "It seems like you've got both." "Look at the pie you just made." "It's great." "Well I'm glad you liked the pie." "But I should, I got some deliveries to do." "Thanks." "AHHHHH!" "Dutch!" "Dutch!" "Come here boy." " Dutch, be careful." "Come here." "Dutch come on were going to go for a ride." "Come on." "Come on, come on, come here, come here, come here." "Come here boy, come here boy, come here." "Come on, come on, come here, come here, come here." "Come here boy." "Come on" "Stop." "You stupid!" "You stop that right now." "Come near him, I swear to god I'll break your arm." "It's my dog." "I will do whatever I want." "He is not your dog." "I take care of him." "He's mine." "You're going to get it, O.K. I have friends all right?" "And you live alone." "You'll be O.K." "I can sit with you if you're scared." "Okay." "Okay!" "Okay, he's ah..." " Hey!" "He's going to be fine." "Um." "There's no broken bones, no bleeding." "Some bruising, some bad bruising actually." "But he'll be okay in a week or two." "Thank you." "Don't thank me I didn't really do anything." "It's Dutch who should thank you for getting him here so quickly," "but of course you know how mixed breeds are." "Notoriously poor for sending off thank you notes." "So you're going to have to ah, you're going to have to make do with some licking and heavy slobbering when he's feeling better." "Ah there we go, there's a smile." "I always thought half my job was taking care of the animals and well the owners need some TLC too." "I told her that I'd sit with her until you came out." "I see you have met my niece." "Niece!" " Hi I'm Linny." "Hi I'm Sally." "Nice to meet you." "Do you want to have dinner with us?" "Oh uh, you know I don't think I can really." "Oh Really!" " Well it's not you, it's me." "My, my husband just died recently and I'm just not sure if I'm ready." "Whoa." "First off she invited you." "I didn't and second, it's dinner." "Just dinner." "Okay." "He's a very good cook." "I bet he is." "Can I get back to you guys on that?" "Yeah sure." "Why don't you give us a call?" "Okay." "Great!" "Thanks." "Bye." " Bye." "Was I that bad?" "You Sucked." " Geez!" "M- hm." "Yeah, I don't even think this is English." "Foreign Language homework?" "Calculus." "Okay." "A function f is even if the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the y axis even though, algebraically, f is even if and only if f minus x equals f times x for all x in the domain of f." "Makes sense." "Ha Ha." "Actually I've got something else to talk to you about." "What it is, I mean, it's kind of embarrassing." "Sounds kind of serious." "Well you know the guy you saved Dutch from?" "That was your brother." " Yeah." "I think maybe you're the one who deserves an apology." "Well, he's not always like that." "Sally, Dirk is lost without Dutch." "He wants him back." "I'm sorry, no!" " Well it's his dog." "Not anymore." "Not after he kicked him." "Dirk knows we're friends." "He asked me to ask you." "I don't want it to come between us." "Don't worry." "I always find the best way to clear the air is a quick review on the basics of derivatives." "Half an hour of calculus will not kill you." "God your weird." " Come on." "Hey!" "My sister." "Does dad know you're here?" "How'd you get so ripped, I thought Gary cut you off." "Not everyone here knows that." "SHHH." "Hey Dirk." " Hey Gary." "What a surprise to see you here." " Yeah." "You and I should talk." " Yeah, okay." "Good to see you Brad." "Looking good." "Dirk, you know I always liked you." "You threw me out Gary, just like my old man." "Yeah." "I screwed up, O.K., but come on man, you cut me off cold." "I'm saying maybe you learned your lesson." "Maybe there's another way you can work yourself back in." "Are you serious Gary." "Cause I would do anything for you." "You know that." "That a boy." "Sweetheart, get him a drink." "He's just sucking him right back in." "Stay out of it." " No, he swore to me said, no more." "He's a junkie Kir." "He can't help himself." "You can't live his life for him." "He's a pain in the butt, yeah I know, he's still my brother." "Yeah." " There's a lot in it for you, buddy." "I'm going to take care of you." "Alright?" "Why don't you just leave him alone?" "Don't you have a single bit of decency in you?" "Hey hey hey." "Don't listen to her." "She's just a stupid kid." "Don't sweat it man." "I'm out of here." "You're looking hot Kirsty." "Have some fun." "You promised Dirk." "On mom's grave you made me a promise." "Yeah, so did you." "You promised to get my dog back." "Where is he?" "Huh!" "Where's my dog?" "Hello!" "Yeah, what time you got?" " Who is this?" "You know who it is." " I'm going to hang up." "I wouldn't do that." "It's Gary." "You needed a little time, I gave you a little time." "I got feelings, I understand." "I told you I don't know." "You need to understand, I'm a serious man." "Is it eleven o' clock yet?" " I don't know what time it is." "I'll tell you exactly what time it is." "Time for you to look out your window." "So what am I supposed to think?" "You said to forget it." "You said that this guy was just bluffing." "You said he was probably just some small time hood." "Okay Sally you got to slow down." "How does some guy in the middle of nowhere know what happened to Eddie?" "I mean maybe he's not the guy but come on." "Maybe he knows about the direct line, maybe it really was a hit." "I don't know, maybe, maybe he knows the guy who did it." "I don't, I'm totally over my head here and I'm completely freaked out." "Sally." "Stop, first of all there's no way Eddie could have done anything illegal without me knowing about it, okay?" "Or without you knowing about it, especially you." "Right?" "Okay, why is this guy threatening my life?" "Why does he think that Eddie stole drugs?" "Why does he thing that it's in my house?" "Because they're still missing and Eddie's the obvious suspect." "We know he didn't do it, but until those pills show up, people are going to be suspicious." "Well, Gary Sharpe just blew up my truck." "Did you report him?" "To who?" "The one cop in this place who thinks I'm a crackpot?" "The State Troopers?" "Okay, I'm talking to you, and you know me, you think I'm off my rocker." "What do you think the State Troopers are going to think?" "Besides I don't have proof that he was the one that did it." "Vic are you there?" "You've got to come back." "There is no way I can protect you in some hole in the wall place that's halfway past the middle of nowhere." "Sally, come back." " No." "I thought you'd say that." "Look I'm going to say this to clear the table." "So don't get mad." "I'm listening." "Did Eddie ever mention anything to you about Optimorphine?" "Thanks, Vic." "Thanks a lot." "One more time." "I want to know about Eddie." "You think it was me?" "You were in his stoolie." "He was my bread and butter, Captain, I wouldn't do nothing to Eddie." "I tracked down every lead I could think of." "Every jerk he ever put away." "Every one on parole." "You may be my last hope." "You hear anything, I want to know." "Understand?" "Anything you hear on the streets you hear it for me." "Get yourself cleaned up before you leave." "Okay?" "Hey." "Dirk?" "What?" "What the hell are you doing here?" "Dad sees me here he's going to blow." " He won't be up for another hour." "God!" "I don't know how I got to be such a complete screw up." "What are you talking about?" " You know what I'm talking about." "I screw up and end up with everybody mad at me." "Everybody screws up now and then." "Me I do it all the time." "I don't mean to, Kirsty." "I swear I don't mean to." "Are you crying?" "I did something real bad." "I blew up your friends truck." "What?" "What Friend?" "Mrs. Hanson." "What?" "What?" "Why the hell you'd do that?" "She wasn't in it." "Nobody got hurt." " Gary put you up to this?" "Huh?" "I just want my dog back!" "Did Gary put you up to this?" "Did he give you more pills?" "I needed it Kirsty." "Kirsty, I really needed it bad." "Stay Dutch, stay." "If I blow up, there's plenty of dog food in the pantry." "I'm sorry it's mostly in cans." "Okay." "Bye, Dutch." "What the?" "Oh sorry did I wake you?" "Are you nuts?" "What are you doing?" "I've some friends who might worry if anything happens to me." "So I want them to have your picture just in case." "Ah man." "What the hell is she doing to me?" "Hello?" " Is that dinner invitation still on?" "I thought I told you to go to bed twenty minutes ago." "You know I can't tell time." "Oh really, you know I'm going to have to start counting." "One." "Two." "Three." "Four." "Five." "He got you." "Alright it's time for a good night's sleep." "Okay?" "Okay." "Good night." " Good night honey sleep tight." "She's a sweetie." " Yeah and she knows it." "I wonder who told her." "Just over a year ago my sister and her husband died in a fire on a weekend at a B and B. Linny was staying with me and has been with me ever since." "Eddie was crazy about having kids." "We talked about it all the time." "We actually thought we'd raise them here." "Sounds like a good plan." "It was." "We had it all figured out." "We had saved up enough money so we could both quit our jobs, move here and float off the money until we figured out what we'd do for the rest of our lives." "When Eddie died I lost everything." "Well, not everything." "I've still got the home but I feel like if I left right now, it would be like throwing away his final gift to me." "Yeah, that's a healthy way of looking at it." "Yeah, sometimes I still feel like I'm losing him." "Oh God!" "Oh no." "I'm Sorry I didn't mean for you to see that." "Look Sally, somebody leaked an Internal Affairs investigation." "But there are no facts." "None." "It's just rumors and bad journalism." "Yeah, but people believe these things." "It's a small town." "People gossip and assume the worst." "What is it with this small town crap, Eddie always reveled in this place." "I thought I could get away from everything" "I hated about the city, but, here it's worse." "It's a sign of the times you can't escape the city." "Or narcotics." "Look can I give you a word of advice." "Don't try to fix things." "It won't happen and you'll just get hurt." "Did Eddie know how bad it was here?" "Probably not." "He only came up on weekends and he pretty much stayed at the farm." "Eddie was an honest cop." "I believe that." "How do you know?" "Because you chose him." "That's good enough for me." "Thank you." "I really needed to hear that right now." "I'm sorry, sorry, I've got to go." "Sally... you know you can count on me, right?" "Yeah." "Tell me about the pharmaceutical truck hijacking." "Sal" " What was in the truck?" "Optimorphine?" "There must have been a manifest." "Yeah, there was Optimorphine, plus uppers and downers." "Why do you need to know?" "That guy I told you about, I think he knows who shot Eddie." "This is that guy Gary Sharpe you told me about?" "I ran him." "He's a creep, no question, but he's just a small town dealer." "We're looking for bigger fish." "No, no, no he knows something." "I doubt it." "The streets are full of rumors down here." "We got stoolies calling in with tips and none of them pans out." "Listen just in case I don't want you anywhere near him." "You got that?" "Yeah." "Sal?" "Dutch, Dutch come here." "Dutch come here boy." "Come on, let's go for a ride." "Let's go for a ride Dutch." "Come on." "Want to go for a ride?" "Dutch come here." "You've got a lot of nerve coming back here." "I just want my dog back." "He's not your dog anymore." "Go home." "You got a gun." "Fine I can get a gun." "I'll get a gun too." "Can I come in?" "Yeah sure." "Come sit." "I am so sorry Kirsten." "You never even knew him when he was nice." "You only saw his worst side." "He was really funny and smart and he really loved Dutch." "He really did." "But that stuff just wasted him." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "It's OK." "He's the one that bombed your truck." " Yeah, I know." "There's a memorial service tomorrow." "Would you come?" "Um, well I don't think that's a very good idea." "You're the only person I can talk to." "I can't..." "I can't go through it alone." "Please." "Please." "Of course." "Of course I'll be there." "Okay." "When he won the track meet six years ago." "I was sure we'd be seeing him on T.V. Someday." "Maybe even the Olympics." "But then he changed." "I, we tried to help him." "He was a good kid, he tried but things got worse and worse." "I couldn't help him anymore." "He wouldn't let me and that's because, because..." "Dirk lived fast, loved hard, and died screaming." "You can't ask out of life more than that." "Dirk died trying to get his dog back." "He loved that dog more than anything, and it cost him his life." "But hell, we're used to this here, right?" "Strangers coming in here telling us how to live our lives, meddling in our affairs, pretending to know more than us." "Well look what it got us." "We're just supposed to take this?" "And let her get away with it?" "Yeah that's right, you go." "If it weren't for you, Dirk would be alive today." "No, don't." "Just don't." "Dirk didn't die trying to rescue his dog and don't you try to blame this on me." "Oh hello Doc." "Now won't you get out of here and let these people mourn in peace." "Or haven't you done enough already?" "No!" "He was my brother." "And I loved him, but we all know why he died." "He was a drug addict." "On Opti." "And it made him mean and nasty and abusive." "And, and he couldn't..., that's the truth." "We all know it." "Sally..." "He died because we couldn't find a way to get him back." "We, the adults." "I don't know how many kids have died here on this Optimorphine but I," "Yeah Tammy Shipley two months ago." "And Marty Wiseberg, on his motorcycle, and one of the Sheldon twins o." "D'd since Christmas." "And you, you are the one who is responsible for all of this and we all know it but none of us has the guts to say anything." "Because you killed my brother." "You killed my brother." "Shame on you." "I know I'm new in town but I do live here." "We have a real problem and we need to do something about it." "I'm a teacher so I know something about drugs." "I know they can make you feel empty and hollow." "And I think I can help." "So, that's what I'm up here to say and I think I can help." "That was important what you did in there." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" " You don't drink coffee." "If you want someone to talk to?" " I just wish someone would hold me." "God you scared me." " Hey Sal." "It's good to see you." "Well your calls got me worried so I thought I'd come up and unofficially take a look around, see what's going on and maybe take in some fishing too." "Did you check Gary Sharpe?" "I did, he's a bad guy but I don't think he's a killer." "Come on in." "I'll tell you what I found out, you tell me what you know." "That's a deal." "We watched and we waited for weeks and finally they gathered everything up." "And loaded up this eighteen wheeler with every stolen pharmaceutical in the county." "That's when we lowered the boom." "The bust went down just like it was supposed to." "Just like Eddie planned it." "So how does that become a problem?" "Well Eddie had three big vans on call, and the stuff was supposed to be loaded off the truck into the vans for lock up." "Well, turns out a few hundred thousand dollars worth of hillbilly heroine gets loaded off the truck doesn't make it to the warehouse." "Got misplaced or something." "I don't like your tone here Vic." "I'm just saying Eddie's people were in charge." "And you think Eddie had something to do with it going missing?" "I'm saying I don't have any evidence that points to anybody else." "Yet." "Well if there is any evidence pointing to Eddie, he's been framed." "Eddie's clean." " Eddie was my best friend Sal." "So why are you accusing someone who can't defend themselves?" "Come on Sal." "I haven't told anybody this." "You're getting your checks from the department." "Do you think you'd still be getting checks if I had said something?" "Thought you came down here to talk about the investigation?" "Is this why you came all the way down here?" "I'm just saying drop it." "Let it go away." "Let's try to remember Eddie as the good cop we knew." "You're closing the case!" "Not closing Sal." "I never said closing." "We exhausted all the leads we had." "You may turn out to be right." "Some stray junkie out scavenging." "You must be exhausted." "I'm going to go get your bed ready." "Okay, last chance." "Do you want to go out on the water?" "Are you kidding?" "When I was a kid my dad used to take us fishing overnight, so I figured..." "You are never here, go enjoy." "Okay." " Kill a fish." "Okay." " If you can." "You're going to be okay alone?" " I'm going to be fine." "Go." "Let me leave you my cell phone number." "That's very sweet." " Here it is." "Thank you." "Go please." " You don't have to tell me twice." "You got to be out of your mind coming in here." "What is it you think you're going to do?" "What do you want?" "You killed my husband." "You got to be kidding me." "I may be a lot of things but," "I never laid a hand on Eddie." "What, are you going to shoot me for torching your truck?" "You said that Eddie owed you." "You said..." "I said what they told me to say." "Go scare the lady they said, or you're cut off." "Out of business." "Who?" "Names." "I don't know any names." "The Opti Man." "His people." "That's all I know." "You think I keep that crap in my house?" "Oh." "A quarter million dollars worth of Optimorphine doesn't take up a lot of room." "Gary." "Are you coming?" "What?" "She shot me." "Get that little bitch!" "What?" "What?" " She's firing at us!" "Go, go!" "She's got a gun!" "Your going to die, you hear me?" "There's nowhere to hide." "Hello." " How much of this do we have to take?" "Enough is enough!" "She's fighting this on her own." "Damn!" "What's it going to take, Riddell?" "When is enough enough?" "If you think Eddie had something..." " We all think Eddie." "Well, you know the rumours." " What Rumours?" "Let's try to remember Eddie as the good cop we knew." "Freddie, Freddie." "Oh!" "Please Eddie." "Don't let it be true." "To whom it may concern:" "If you find yourself in possession of this highly classified information, please contact Agent Bert Oberlin at the F.B. I. Immediately." "I knew you weren't dirty." "Pick up, Vic." "Come on pick up." "Oh my god!" "Some kids just can't handle their Optimorphine." "You're behind all this." "Just a small cog in the wheel." "You rented the boat." "Cover." "Anybody asks, I was out in the water when this whole thing went down." "That was you in the apartment." "You shot Eddie." "You shot him." "You shot your friend." "My friend!" "?" "He found the pills that were missing from the sting." "And he had proof that I had taken them." "He was going to turn me in." "What's the difference between that and a bullet?" "You tell me." "No, it wasn't easy on me Sal." "Just sweep the pills up and put them in a bag." "Eddie knew, Eddie knew what you were doing didn't he?" "Just be nice alright Sally." "Just throw your little gun over here, alright?" "Why?" "So you can kill us both?" "You can save her life." "I need someone to take the heat." "She's going to wake up with a gun in her hand." "After you killed her brother and I'll be a free man." "I'm going to count to two." "Throw that gun over here or I'm going to blow her brains out." "One." " Okay, okay, okay." "And the file." "Good girl Sally." "I'm sorry Sally, I really am." "Just tell me he was clean, Vic." "He was clean." "He was too clean." "That's what cost him his life." "I went over to your place that night to talk to him." "He wouldn't listen." "He said if I turned myself in the pills and the file disappear." "But if he had to turn me in it would turn up as evidence." "Those weren't good choices for me." "Kirsten, sweetie." "Come here sweetie." "I'll see you soon, Kirsten." "The whole town came out to support you." "I guess the silence is broken." "We knew what we had to do." "I'm just so grateful." "No Sally, it's us who's grateful to you." "Well I have business in the morning." "Do you want to come in for a cup of coffee?" "You know I don't drink coffee." "Okay then." "Well I could give it a try." "I hear it's an acquired taste." "Come on Dutch."
