"Previously on "Pushing Daisies."" "Who are you you?" " You were my first kiss." " You were my first kiss too." "You touch the victim, you actually kill them, touch them again, they go back to being dead." " You collect the reward." " That's in in a nutshell." " Hey, you're his business partner." " Yes, ma'am." "Doesn't she look a lot like that dead girl?" "She looks exactly like that dead girl." " Do you touch anything?" " I touch lots of things." "Did he touch you?" "I'd kiss you if it wouldn't kill me." "Are you in love with her, 'cause it's that level of stupid." "I killed her dad when she was 10." "She doesn't know." "If I just thought, my world would be a better place if you were in it." " Anything else I should know?" " No." "At this very moment in the town of Northrush, young Ned was 9 years, 33 weeks, 6 days," "20 hours and 34 minutes old." "He stood on the exact spot where 4 weeks and 2 days previously his father had deposited him at the Lawnborough School for boys." "As young Ned's mother had died recently there were reassuring physical contact and parting words." "I'll be back." "He lied." "The sadness and dread which the boy felt were not so much a product of the Lawnborough school." "Young Ned's discomfort came from the knowledge that when he touched the dead thing it came back to life." "The other boys assumed his intraverted nature was a product of weakness." "Thinking of revenge and also not thinking at all." "Young Ned volunteered to assist with that day's science project." "Young Ned's secret gift was governed by three simple rules." "Touch a dead thing once, alive." "Touch a dead thing again... dead forever." "Keep a dead thing alive for more than a minute... and something else must die." "His gift had once again brought him great distress in place of great joy." "He vowed to keep the strange details of his strange life secret from the world forever." "Are you responsible for this?" "So young Ned did what his father had done to him only 31 days before." " No." " He lied." "For the next 19 years, 29 weeks, and 2 days, keeping secrets worked beautifully." "The boy became the pie maker and the pie maker deceived with ease" " until Chuck." " This is strange." "Charlotte Charles had been alive for 28 years, 24 weeks, 3 days, 11 hours and 51 minutes before she was murdered." "Is this strange?" "It's not strange, unusual, maybe eccentric in a quaint way." "Like desert spoons." "Revived by the pie maker and given a second chance at life she had many questions." "I have so many questions my mind wanders." "You need to feed it warm milk and a turkey sandwich, curl up in a sunny spot and take a nap." " I miss my aunts." " Of course." "Do you miss them a lot?" "A little." "All the time?" "Now and then." "As Chuck spoke she realized her secrets were really a lot and every minute in that order." " How many people would be touched?" " People or animals?" "Digby it doesn't count." "Digby does count, nobody has been through as much with me as Digby." "How many people have you brought back to life?" "It's not like I walk around inviting childhood sweethearts Willy-Nilly." "What about Emerson?" "Coming through." " You touched lots of people with Emerson." " For work." "Just because you kill them again as soon as you get what you want" " doesn't make them any different." " Yes, it does." "Coming through." "Can we not say kill," "I touch them again and they snap back to the way they were supposed to be." "Am I the rubber band that broke?" "Chuck, you're the only human being that I had ever made alive to stay." "He lied." "In fact, the pie maker had kept one other person alive for more than a minute." "Using the gift to temporarily revive his own mother, the unintended affect on Chuck's father had been more permanent." "The pie maker often asked himself if he would ever be able to to tell Chuck the secret." " Your eye's twitching." " Is it?" "This is such a small cheese box." "The aunts who had raised Chuck had taught her to believe that the large white appliance in the kitchen had a fairly narrow purpose." "Is it okay to freeze the camembert?" "I'd rather not edge it between the Edm and the Penire." "Or it could air out the gouda." "In fact, young Chuck did not refer to a refrigerator as anything else than a cheese box until she was 17." "As Chuck considered the life she could never go back to," "Olive Snook considered the changes in her own life." "Foremost the mysterious brunette encroaching on the man she herself loved." "From her perch the jealous yet agile neighbour was able confirmed one pleasing detail." "It's a surprising lack of physical contact." "Oh, crap." "One mile to the west" "Emerson Cod was also not thrilled." "During times of stress or anxiety he liked to knit." "Since the arrival of the dead girl who was not dead he found the stocking nets stitched to be especially relaxing." " Emerson." "But no stitch was a substitute for a good murder case." "Thanks, got it." "Meet me at the morgue in 15 minutes." "As he finished pearling the row, he wished aloud..." "She better not come." "Hi, Emerson." "Isn't this exciting?" "What's she doing here?" "She didn't climb out of a coffin for me to keep her in a box." " She's the boss of you?" " I'm the boss of me." " Dead girl's gotta go." " Dead girl's not going anywhere." "Don't know nothing about her except she had soft lips when she was 10." " That should be enough." " I don't like it." "What did you guys talk about?" "I'd like to get out of this car soon." "Is he upse you brought your childhood sweetheart back to life?" "He barely knows you're here." "In fact, Emerson Cod finished knitting a sweater vest and 2 handgun cozies in the weeks since Chuck's return." "Sweet." "Do I really have to sit in back from now on?" " It's for your own safety." " You sound like my dad." "If my hand brushes yours, you'd be dead." "He didn't say that." "It's probably better if you stay in the car for these morgue visits, someone might recognize you." "You really can't come in." "Did I say can because I swallow my "'t" sometimes." "Can't come in." "Got that hit and run?" " We're from the government safety place." " Is that a question?" "Government safety place." "The facts were these... one Bernard Slayback, an unmarried automotive safety specialist," "35 years, 10 weeks, 7 hours, 3 minutes old was found dead by the side of the road." "The apparent victim of a hit and run driver." "As there were no witnesses, the police are offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the killer." "I'm going to wait back here." "You don't like dead bodies, do you?" "Not when they sit up and talk." " Poor man." " Just touch it." "I'm starting the watch." " Why is everything so blurry." " Probably because your eyeballs are flat." "Ask the question." " Mr. Slayback, do you..." " Do you have any last requests, anything from this life that you can help me with?" " Don't let her do this." " Is this heaven?" " Could be." " No, it's not." " Is that God?" " No, it's not." "I'm confused because I'm a Buddhist." "Buddhism is fascinating." "Isn't it?" " Did it help you in your final moment?" " She wasted my minute!" "What's with this minute, when did it become your minute?" " Sure as hell ain't yours?" " It's everyone's minute." "Or 22 seconds." "Can you give a message to Earth?" "Can you tell Janine in promotions that I loved her?" "Of course." "Mr. Slayback, if you could remember anything about whoever was driving the hit and run driver that killed you." "I think we can get you some justice." "What hit and run?" "I was killed by a crash test dummy." "I'm not God, but if I was I'd be an angry God." "We give it our best shot." "So a crash test dummy killed Bernard." " Bernard was delusional." " It's still a clue." "It's a dead end, and not the kind of dead you can undead and then redead again like you're supposed to." " It's my fault?" " When you get like that in my minute, it's hard to follow up on the dummy did it." "Gotta get some real leads now." "Isn't that what P.I.s are supposed to do, investigate?" "Isn't that the fun part?" "The fun part is counting my money in a bubble bath." "Nice image." "So?" "What's the poop?" " The poop?" " Poop." "Scoop, the skinny, the haps, the dilio, the 411." "P.I. lingo." " Rhubarb." " What's that mean?" "P.I.'s secret code for get me a damn slice of rhubarb." "This isn't Pies 'R Us, Pie City or thousands of pies in one place." "This is a bells on the door, pies baking mom and pop place." "We chitchat here." "Chit." " Chat." " You got it." "Who is the funny girl stuck to Ned?" "Childhood sweetheart." "Still sweet, his heart?" "You want the truth?" "Olive Snook did not want the truth but her heart was so full that it reached up and nodded her head." "He digs her in a way that he definitely doesn't dig you." "I'll just go get your pie." " Did they touch much?" " Wish they would." " Emerson thinks I'm useless." " You're not useless." "Here, left me, you sift." "Useless is a soap dispencer in a restroom, standing around, reminding people what he could be doing but doing nothing at all." "More flour." "I can't be alive again for no reason." "I mean I supposed I could be but..." " What's the fun that?" " We'll find the killer." "Emerson's good at what he does." "All he cares about is the reward." "Maybe that's enough." " It's not enough." " Enough flour." "What about Janine, she needs to know that Bernard loved her, it's his dying wish." "So sad." " We'll cushion the blow." " Not a big fan of the blow." "We'll bring pie, someone dies, you bring food, that's what you do." "As the pie maker secretly thought how much better his life had become since Chuck had returned..." "Olive secretly felt the distance between her and the pie maker grow more and more vast until it seemed she might as well be on the other side of the universe." "The Earth is our only home." "If we don't take care of it, who will?" "Imagine a vehicle so revolutionary it runs on an extraordinary new fuel derived from a plant found everywhere." "The Dandy Lion." "Introducing the Dandy Lion SX, it will blow you away." "While some came to Dandy Lion industries to see the car of the future," "Chuck and the pie maker came with a wish from the past." "A car that runs on Dandy Lions, that so neat." "How are we going to find Janine?" "This way, people, over here." "I want to show you what you've been waiting for." "The Dandy Lion SX." "I remind you that the car you see before you... runs on a new fuel made from the Dandy Lion weed." "Please inspect the car at your leisure." "It's a cute car!" "I am Mark Chase, President of Dandy Lion Worlwide Industries." "It is nice to meet you." "I was sorry to hear about your employee, Bernard Slaybeck." "Did you know Bernard?" "He was an old friend." "How can I be of assistance?" "I need to see..." "Janine from promotions, it's a personal matter." "The flower on the turntable." " Thanks." " Have a nice day." "Please don't touch." "No..." "Now, who wants to see all the colours available for the Dandy Lion SX?" "You speak japanese?" "When you take care of shut-ins your whole life you have plenty of time to read." "Don't you have any hidden talents or hobbies?" "I mean regular ones?" "Chuck's love of language had begun upon the discovery of the portable cassette tape player and several boxes of language courses." "The Jarlsberg is on the table." "The Jarlsberg is on the table." "The Jarlsberg is on the table." "The Jarlsberg is on the table." "The Jarlsberg is on the table." "Hi, flex your flower power." "Would you like a back seat on the Dandy Lion SX, the sports car of tomorrow." "Get it?" "Sports car?" " I think it's cute." " Are you Janine?" "Am I in trouble for making up slogans?" "Cause I'll say the blow you away thing but it seems to be kind of redundant with the commercials playing all the time." "We're here on a more tragic matter, about Bernard Slaybeck." "Maybe you got the wrong flower." "But I didn't know any Bernard." "She lied." " Are you sure?" " I know what I know." "Is that pie?" "It was baked specially for the recipient of Bernard's message." "It's a shame to waste a perfectly good pie." "Man, that smells good." "You're drooling." " But Bernard..." " He's dead, right?" "The flower had a secret." "He's dead, enjoy your pie." "But her training as a display model allowed her to conceal any trace." "Time to move on to the next stop, people, the crash-test facility." " Crash-test facility?" " Dummies." " Feel like taking a tour." " Uh, huh." "Safely out of sight, the flower began to weep." "Like the rich sugary dessert she binged on, her tears would remain with her for only the next 10 or 15 minutes before they would be purged from her body like they had never existed." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dandy Lion worldwide crash-test facility." "Science guys," "I'd like you to meet our newest Dandy Lion dealers from a little territy I like to call Asia." "Japan Rules!" "Number One!" "Science guy, tell them what happens in here?" "This is where we use electronic anthropomorphic unit." "Dummies." "To test the Dandy Lion SX for structural integrity as well as the vialability of all the restraint and impact initiated safety system." "We crash things in here." "Now, who wants to pool the leather?" "As the group was thrilled to the sight of twisted metal and simulated loss of life and limb," "Chuck came upon an equally chilling sight of her own." "One of these dummies is not like the others." " Where did his clothes go?" " Where did his face go?" "Maybe Bernard wasn't crazy." "The dummy did it." "Or at least someone in a dummy mask and an orange jump suit." " Chuck found a clue." " I found a clue." "Clues is a board game." "Professor did it in the parlor with a rubber mallet." "That's a clue." "We find evidence." "You got to admit, this means something." "Could be a lead." "Who'd have access?" "Loopy Dandy Lion models and angry technicians, could be anybody." "I did some checking on the car company, they have a lot riding on this Dandy Lion, lot of angry competitors too." "We've got to get back in there tonight." "No, that's not how we do it." "We gotta get back there tonight." "See if whoever took that dummmy mask left any evidence." "Going out late tonight for this thing hardly worth explaining." " Can you close up?" " I think I just did." " What?" " See you in the morning." " Bye Olive." "Bye Digby." "Olive often imagined there was an orchestra in her heart." "Music heard only by her except when her heart broke open and it spilled out into the world." "Guess mine is not the first heart broken" "My eyes are not the first to cry" "Not the first to know" "There's just no gettin' over you" "I'm hopelessly devoted..." " Excuse me." " We're closed." "You know, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around and wait for you" "Baby, can't you see there's nothing left for me to do" "I'm hopelessly devoted..." " Hi, Olive." " Hi, Manuel." " Can I do the floors?" " Yeah, okay." "But now there's nowhere to hide since you pushed my love aside and not in my head" "Hopelessly devoted to you" "Hopelessly devoted to you" " Did you say something?" " No." "Hopelessly devoted to you" "While Olive considered how much she loved Digby for paying attention to her when the pie maker would not and Digby considered how much he liked salt..." "The pie maker considered what the sentence would be for breaking and entering with no prior convictions." "Where did you get that?" "Contacted the company that makes these doors under false pretenses, they gave me a sample I.D. badge which I digitally altered using a magnetic code that matches the serial number on this machine." " Is that cheat?" " I don't know." "Is this?" "I gave the security guard a hug good-bye." "My upper body distracted him while these things I call hands took this off his belt." "At that moment, the pie maker felt a mixture of happiness and trepidation." "Why is it always a mixture?" "What do you know about Emerson besides he privately investigates?" "What is so great about knowing?" "When you lift up a rock, do you find whipped cream?" "No, you find worms." "I say no to knowing." "We haven't seen each other in 20 years." "Don't you want to know about me?" "I want to know everything about you." "Look, we've all done things we're not proud of." " We all have secrets." " What secrets?" " Skeletons in the closet." " Exactly." "How long have you been listening?" "There are skeletons in the closet." " Those aren't skeletons." " Those are dead bodies." "Hey." "Rick, Rick Page." "Hey, Rick, do you know what's happening right now?" "The last thing I remember I was reading sales forecasts in the back." "Jeez, those things are dull." "Ever heard of the Dandy Lion car company?" "Nope." "Do you want to know open the komono and why I'm wearing a silver leotard and hanging from a hook?" "Any last requests or thoughts?" "If I wanted to mingle with a bunch of geeks wearing leotard I would have stayed in art school." " You went to art school?" " Didn't know that, did you?" "I was just riding the Ferris wheel at state fair and the teenager running it said I could ride an extra turn." "Did you ever hear of the Dandy Lion car company?" " Nope." " Moving on." "Wait a second, I did check out a box that says to check automobile safety." "It sounds scary but when you're dead, you're dead." "Am I dead?" "There's nothing illegal about any of that?" "Why would Dandy Lion replace all their crash test dummies" " with dead bodies?" " What happened to all the real dummies?" "Before Emerson Cod could reply with a clever if slightly insulting remark..." "You see that?" "Janine?" "What?" "I couldn't tell you anything before because they were watching me." "I hid at work to make sure no one would follow me home." "The truth is, Bernie and I were so in love." "It all started when he came to the sales training thing on his lunch break." "And it was love at first sight." "I couldn't take my eyes off him." "He mesmerized me." "My heart leapt out of my chest and I couldn't look way." "I don't know what it was." "I got all misty eyes you know." "And as Janine continued to eat her triple berry pie she told them the story of her love affair with Bernard Slayback." "Present, present, present..." "They had met when the scientists had come to watch sales training on a long lunch." "The attraction was instantaneous and they would both confess to replaying this first encounter as they fell asleep in their beds that night." "He would remember her hair as being slightly redder, her sweater slightly tighter, but the smile he would get just right." "She would remember his look as shy but flirtatious." "his tie as red but very thin." "And that his sandwich was an angus beef paté with lettuce, roman tomatoes on a sesame seed bun and a glass of 2% milk." "As they talked, these are the things she came to know first." "The scientist was kind." "The scientist was lonely." "The scientist came alive when he told her about his hobby of catching butterflies." "When he admitted that he always set them free, she felt dizzy and giggled for no reason." "The wafe and the scientist felt deaply in love." "Hiding their affair from the world like a trade secret." "But Janine from promotions felt a kazam growing between them." "As the launch of the flower car grew closer" "Bernard's hours grew longer." "He became distant and hard to reach." "Suspecting her safety scientist of stepping out on her she began to spy but there was no other flower, only mysterious trips into the darkness." " Where did she go?" " Sorry, restroom." " Mints anyone?" " No, thanks." "Where was Slayback going on these night drives?" "I could never see." "And when I confronted him about it, he wouldn't tell me anything." "I thought I was being paranoid until he turned up dead." " Are you going to finish that?" " Yes." " What was he doing?" " Oh, I figured it out." "It's easier if I show you, follow me." " Shotgun." " Chuck." "I hate the back." "Dead, again, forever." "Fine." "Ah ah." "She's not going very fast." "That car can't have a very big engine." "Maybe she ate it." "That's not funny." "She obviously has a very serious disorder." " What do you mean?" " Seriously?" "The girl's got a whole secret life in the bathroom and I know how exactly how she feels." " So do I." " I hate having secrets." "Now I am one." "All these disguises, hiding in your apartment all the time." " I hate secrets too." " But, you love secrets." "You want to marry secrets and have little half secrets and half human babies." "Well I have a secret too, I do miss my aunts." "If I can't have them back, then all I have is you which is great, but I don't know anything about you since I was 9." "It's pretty I bake pies and wake the dead." "I live a very sheltered life." "I already lived a sheltered life once." "I mean it wasn't as sheltered as you think." "Aunt Lily had a very extensive collection of erotica in the milk cellar." "Milk cellar?" "The cheese floor, spooky place under the house whatever." "I would pay you both for you not to have this conversation in front of me." "It's not in front of you, is it?" "It's to the side and behind you." "Can't right in the front, Chuck." "Tragically for Janine, it didn't matter where she sat." "There you go." "Good as new." " Do I look okay?" " Runaway ready." "Really, you don't think these bandages make me look fat?" " Not at all." " That's so sweet." " Is he always so sweet?" " I wouldn't know." "Some crazy car bomber just went through a lot of trouble to keep from you showing us whatever it is you want us to show us." " The bodies." " What bodies?" "Dead bodies?" "We already found the dead bodies." "No, the ones in the big hole." " How sad." " Why would somebody do this?" "One way to find out." "What is all that?" "At least one of these guys is fitted with a computer hard drive to record any of the crash test data." "Bury the dummies, you bury the data." "Can't they just erase it?" "You never can completely erase anything." "Why are the dead people on hooks and plastic dummies in a grave?" "The company Must have switch the cadavers so that they'd be no permanent record of the crash test results." "'Cause dead people don't talk, usually." "As the pie maker's brain crackled with 10,000 volts of electricity and then lost consciousness," "Olive would have no such luck." "Digby, you awake?" "I can't sleep either." "Closing her eyes only made her visions of the pie maker's late-night date with the perky brunette from nowhere more vivid and uncensored." "Olive decided she was done lying down about this." "We are up, we are walking." "Automobile manufacturing is a dirty business." "Murder was not new for Mark Chase." "Luckily body bags keep things nice and neat." "The facts were these... through a series of crash-test experiments," "Bernard Slayback had learned that the Dandy Lion was a deadly dud." "Bernard begged the president to cancel the car's launch but Mark Chase had other plans." "Like a smoking gun, the smoking dummies would have to be buried." "The company had invested millions in the Dandy Lion and he knew that keeping this terrible secret would still be cheaper than halting production of the car." "A decision was made." "A coverup undertaken." "If the dummies had to go so would any dummy who got in the way." "As he regained consciousness and hurdle towards the crash-test wall," "Bernard's only thoughts were of Janine and how he wished he'd told her he loved her." "Mark Chase's attention to detail and gift for planning had served him well as a CEO and now again as a murderer." "His coverup complete, his only thoughts were that the Dandy Lion SX would bloom on time and no one would stop him." "The Dandy Lion car is a culmination of my life's work." "It's a flower power phenomenom more than a thousand sleepless nights, intense ritalin abuse and a long interest in botany." "So what if in the unlikely but not impossible event that the car gets up to 70 miles an hour, with the headlights on and the seat warmer on low, a short circuit in a radio causes a chain reaction that blows the car" "and its human cargo to smitherines." "As Mark Chase continued his monologue unaware that it was completely inaudible from within the sealed body bags within the car," "Chuck pondered why it was she always seemed to die just as things were starting to get good." " Son of a bitch." " What?" "Although he couldn't hear her," "Ned suddenly wanted to tell her everything, pet peeves, favourite foods, his fears, his dreams and all the pure joy she had brought into his life." "Sayonara." "This was the end." "All over again." "Goodbye." "Emerson Cod did not like to knit in public but he often left the house with the needles in his pocket should the opportunity to rib stitch a ski cap present itself." "Drive!" "If only the pie maker had heard the killer exclaim the Dandy Lion SX was much more than an eco-friendly car of the future." "If only he'd heard it was also a death trap, a Dandy Lion fueled timebomb." "C'mon." "Just a little faster." "This car go any faster?" "Some car of the future this is." "Cars of the future were supposed to fly." "The help happened to flying cars?" "In the unlikely but not impossible event of reaching the speed of 70 miles an hour with the headlights on and the seat warmer is set to low a short circuit in the radio would set off a cataclysmic chain reaction that would blow the car" "and its precious human cargo to smitherines." "Janine had been the first unfortunate victim and now..." "Watch out!" "The pie maker had never been so happy to see Olive." "Olive had never been so happy to see the pie maker." "Are you okay?" "I am now." "Whatever the pie maker had been doing that night did not seem especially romantic." "Can you help us get out of these body bags?" "Sure." "Mark Chase's chase had come to an end, his plan foiled and the police now closing in the car maker tried to flee only to discover he was out of gas." "Unlike the pie maker and his friends the Dandy Lion car company did not survive once its dark secrets were revealed." "Those responsible were punished for their wicked ways." "Others strengthened by the news that their loved ones had not died in vain reached out for the help and around the clock surveillance by a nutrition professional that they needed." "And Emerson Cod realized he would not be not knitting anytime soon as the dead girl who was not dead appeared to be staying put." "A fact the pie maker celebrated." "Not giving up, Digby." "Get in." "The front?" "You did this?" "You can drive now too, if you want but" "I kind of love driving." "Really, I didn't know that about you." "What is that?" " It's for steering emergencies." " He lied." "Perfect." " Just what I thought." " She lied too." "Thanks to Raceman and Travis for the transcript"
