"Dad." "Dad?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "You know how you told me that Castle Valley is a suburb of Phoenix?" "Oh, it isn't." "It's a desert." "Yeah, I know the dry heat will be good for my asthma, but what about all this dust?" "No one even thought about that." "Yeah, right, right." "Yeah, Dad, the suburbs in Arizona might be further apart than they are in Philly." "You're absolutely right." "And I don't even know why you told your friend Tugg that I'm an experienced investigative reporter." "Yeah, you were like, "Oh, she's a chip off the old block." "It'll be fine."" "Well, soon as I start, he's gonna see right through me." "I don't think..." "Dad?" "Love you too, Dad." "Oh, no!" "Oh!" "Ohh!" "Right!" "Arizona's paradise, isn't it, Dad?" "It's absolutely perfect." "Hello!" "Stop, please!" "Hello!" "Stop!" "Help!" "You having trouble, little lady?" "Yeah." "It seemed to develop a rattle." "Looks like a friendly little gopher snake to me." "Oh, God, no!" "Yeah?" "Ugh." "Well!" "Where you heading, sweetie?" "Sweetie is headed to Castle Valley." "I knew it, she's a snowbird." "A snowbird?" "Yeah, winter visitor." "Here for six months, polluting our air, clogging up the streets and restaurants, making golf more expensive, then you skedaddle back to wherever you come from and... yeah." "Well, for your information," "I'm actually relocating to Castle Valley." "I'm taking a very important managerial position with the newspaper." "Huh." "Is that a fact?" "She kind of looks like..." "Don't even go there, Jake." "Come on." "Let's go." "You take care, lady." "I saw a bunch of black birds flying a few miles back in a circle." "Why do they do that?" "It's just the desert's way of cleaning up dead." "Probably a dead steer." "So, ma'am, take care of yourself." "What the hell are you doing?" "Look, I'm sorry." "I just really need a ride." "You know, I could've just killed you coming up like that." "Well, where are you going?" "Phoenix, LA." "Maybe Vegas, I don't know." "I'm just going a few more miles to Castle Valley." "That's okay." "I can take a bus from there." "Okay, get in." "I'm actually relocating to Castle Valley myself." "Do you mind if we don't talk?" " Thanks, lady." " Hey, hold on a second." "Take this $20, get something to eat." "You could also really use a shower." "Oh, crap!" "What time is it?" "Pork rinds is two words." "P-O-R-K space R-I-N-D-S." "Yes, it is, Earl." "I'm just gonna go ahead and change it to hors d'oeuvres." "You have yourself a nice day too, honey." "Bye." "Well, you must be Kendall O'Dell." " Am I right?" " Yes." "I have an appointment with Morton Tuggs." "Sugar, you had an appointment an hour ago with Tugg." "I know." "I'm so sorry." "I got in really late last night, and I had trouble finding this place." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "You got lost?" "In this town?" "Honey, you're gonna have to dig a little deeper than that and come up with something better." "Well, don't you fret though." "He's on the phone, and he happens to be in a pretty good mood today." "By the way, sugar, my name, I'm Ginger King." "I paid you a shitload of money for that damn system and it doesn't work!" "Get somebody over here and fix it!" "Damn!" " That's his good mood?" " Trust me, honey, once he gets a good look at you, he'll be just fine." "Go on in, darling, and good luck." "Ahhh." "Mr. Tuggs?" "It's Tugg." "If it was Tuggs, there'd be two of me." "And with that red hair, if you aren't Bill O'Dell's kid, I give up." "You certainly are a chip off the block, Kendall O'Dell." "Have a seat." "Tell your dad if he ever wants to leave that big, cushy corporate job of his, we'll take good care of him here, all right?" "He might like it here, but I don't know about Mother." "She likes trees and..." "You know." "Oh, I do know." "Well, this place'll grow on you." "Spend one winter here, and you'll never want to leave." "Oh, what about the summers?" "Well, it isn't hell, but, uh, we tell people we can see hell from here." "Truthfully, it's not so bad." "Right, it's a "dry" heat." "You've heard about it already, huh?" "It does make a big difference." "But let's talk about the job, shall we?" "I'm assuming you like our little town enough to stay." "Well, it's not exactly what I expected." "Seldom is." "But I could really use someone with your experience." "I'm a little concerned my dad may have oversold you on my fact checker resume." "Your dad is a fine newspaperman." "If you're anything like him, you got good instincts, and that goes a long way." "Thank you." "Well, then." "We're a small newspaper, so we wear lots of hats and we do a lot of covering for each other." "But don't worry." "There's plenty going on around here to keep the job interesting." "And I hope you aren't looking to us as a stepladder to bigger and better jobs, because that's not gonna happen, doll." "Is that what happened with the person whose job I'm filling?" "I mean, it doesn't matter." " I shouldn't have asked." " No, no." "A reporter's job is to ask questions." "John..." "His name was John." "John had a nose for trouble and could turn a phrase." "He could've hung his hat with any of the big dailies, but he liked it here." "Why did he leave?" "Don't know." "He just up and disappeared." "We had the sheriff's posse search for two weeks before calling it off." "No evidence of foul play, but truth be told," "John did have some enemies." "Just none who wanted to kill him." "What kind of enemies?" "Husbands." "Boyfriends." "A couple of ex-wives." "Our sheriff." "He was tapping the sheriff's wife?" "Oh, no!" "The sheriff is Roy Hollingsworth." "Now, Roy, he was pretty hacked off about John's allegations that the sheriff's office had bungled the case of two girls whose bodies were found in the desert last year." "John was not shy about claiming that the sheriff was uncooperative in furthering the investigation." "Were the girls murdered?" "Both deaths were ruled accidental." "So why was he suspicious?" "I found this in his desk drawer." "Check it out." "He didn't tell me anything other than to say he'd been going through the dead girls' files at the sheriff's office and he found that." "Something weird." "I would like to follow up on this." "Okay, but I have a full list of assignments for you already." "If you want to investigate this in your spare time, that's cool, but let's just keep it between ourselves, okay?" " Okay." " Got it?" "Got it." "And be careful." "Ginger!" "Welcome aboard, Kendall." "What?" "I was just walking by and I heard ya." "Show Miss O'Dell where her desk is, and make sure she has everything she needs." "Sugar, you have a place to stay yet?" "No, actually, I'm still staying at the..." "I have the perfect place for you." "Tess Delgado, she's in Phoenix recovering from back surgery." "She needs someone to stay at her place till she gets home." "And the best part, the first six weeks are free." "Oh, hey!" "Sounds too good to be true." "Tess had a couple there who left in a hurry, and they didn't take their deposit." "It's ten miles out in the desert, and Ginger can show it to you if you're interested." "Yeah." "It has to be better than the tiny apartment I had in Philly." "Let's go right now, honey." "It's my lunch hour." "Come on." "Thank you." "You hungry, sugar?" " Yes." " Okay." "Well, well, well." "If it isn't the very important new manager." "Y'all know each other?" "Not yet, no." "Bradley Talverson, at your service, again." "Kendall O'Dell." "I work here too." "My friends call me Tally." "Tally here is our part-time sportswriter." "Huh." "Well." "How about that?" "Are you ready, Ginger?" " Uh..." " Y'all enjoy your lunch." "Tally." "I'm showing Kendall here, uh," "Tess Delgado's place, for your information." "That's kinda far out, isn't it?" "It's free." "Well, everything has a price, darling." "Keep an eye out for snakes, hmm?" "Come on, sugar." "I bet Tally about crapped his pants when he first laid eyes on you." "You're a dead ringer for that Stephanie." " Who?" " His wife." "Well, former wife." "She's dead." "Oh, that's so sad." "Whatever." "Sugar, you're gonna follow me." "It's this hot and it's only April?" "Oh, flapdoodle." "This ain't nothin'." "But I'll turn the A/C on for you, princess." "Does it ever rain here, Ginger?" "Complete gully washing' frog stranglers." "Girl, you make a woman pee her pants acting like that." "There's a humongous spider in that drawer." "Let me see what you got going." "Seriously, Kendall?" "Get your panties in a wad over a baby wolf spider?" "It ain't gonna hurt ya." "We don't wanna kill it, 'cause it eats things we really don't like." "Ginger, I'm really not a big bug fan, especially spiders." "You sayin' you got the rackaphobia?" "Something like that." "My brother put a spider down my back when I was six, and I definitely never got over it." "Hold on." " Can you get the spider first?" " It's my sister, Bonnie." "Hey, Bon-Bon." "What?" "Can you take the spider outside really quick?" "Really?" "I'm so happy for ya." "I'll be there in two shakes of a dog's tail." "Bye." "Will you just take the spider out really quick?" " I'm gonna be an aunt." " There's a spider." "I'm finally gonna be an aunt." "And it's all because of me." "I hooked them up with Eric Heisler." "Big-time attorney in Phoenix." "Does tons of adoptions." " Here." " Call your cell from my phone, so we have each other's numbers." "Come on, girl." " Okay." " Good." "I gotta go." "Keys are in the front door." "You call me if you need something." "Can you please take care of the spider really quick?" "Oh, city girl." "I tell ya." "Why did the people who lived here move so abruptly?" "Was it the spiders?" "No, don't worry, honey." "I got a bug guy." "Okay, but why did they leave?" "They said the place is haunted." "Hey!" "Freakin' moron!" "It's time we initiate our new reporter, who's come to us all the way from the City of Brotherly Love," "Miss Kendall O'Dell." "Darling, this is for you." "Uh-oh, what is this?" "That is the snowbird file." "It's our winter resident subscribers." "You just call them up and ask what they've been up to." "They get a kick out of seeing their name in the paper, and they send all the clippings back home." "And here's background for the livestock show, the city council meeting and the sheriff's log." "You're the newbie." "Hey, Tugg, can we give her the 4H Club meetings too?" " Ha ha ha ha ha." " Oh, come on, Kendall." "We've all manned the rookie desk." "Okay, gang." "Let's get to work." "Hey, what do you know about Serenity House, Tugg?" "Oh, your neighbor down the road?" "It's a private psychiatric hospital." "Who's in there, Hannibal Lecter?" "There's like this huge 12-foot fence and these guard dogs." "Like, it's crazy." "Yeah, they had a problem about three years back when a very violent patient escaped." "The whole region was panic-stricken until he was recaptured a few days later." "The city council demanded a fence be put up, but the hospital board, for some reason, they refused, and then they shocked everybody by closing the place down." "It sat vacant for about a year, and then this cat named Price, he's a psychiatrist, he bought it." "And he's the one who put the fence up." "Great." "Some neighborhood I live in." " Hey, Ginger." " Hey, Lucy." "Y'all ready to order?" "Kendall, this here's Lucinda." "Lucy, meet Kendall O'Dell." "Nice to meet you." "Kendall's our, uh, our new reporter." "Well." "Congratulations." "Sugar, we'll just..." "We'll take the daily special." "Fine." "What the hell was that all about?" "I knew she'd be jealous." " Of me?" " Of course." "She has the hots for Tally." "She even boards her horse at his ranch just so she can be around him." "Well, you can tell her not to worry." "Being recently dumped has made me sort of down on men." "Aw, sugar, I'm sorry to hear that, but the truth is, Tally's a good catch." " I can tell he likes you." " Well, thanks, but no thanks." "Running off with a ranch hand doesn't exactly appeal to me right now." "Sweetie pie, Tally ain't no ranch hand." "He owns the Starfire." "Probably the biggest dang cattle ranch in all of Arizona." "What?" "Then why does he have a part-time job at the paper?" "Mm." "Escape from the ranch, I suppose." "If he hates it so much, then why doesn't he just sell it?" "It's just a little more complicated than that." "Here you go." "Now, Ginger, do you need anything else?" "No, honey." "We're..." "We're good." "And she is just the sweetest thing." "Don't pay her no mind." "Go ahead, honey." "Try your sandwich." "Okay." "Why don't you "uncomplicate" Tally for me." "I would love to." "He don't want to be no rancher." "He wanted to be a journalist." "So, when he up and went to New York to go to school, well, that didn't make his folks very happy." "And that's when he met that Stephanie." "Bringing that firecracker Stephanie back here did not help none." "Ooh-whee!" "Hate at first sight." "And I mean everybody." "How come?" "She was a spoiled little brat." "Plus, she hated the ranch life." "That drove Tally's mom nuts." "Truth is, she was a little nutty before that, but..." "Stephanie made this big old announcement they were going back to New York." "And, honey, that's when the bad, bad fighting started." "And I'll bet you anything" "Lucinda knows what I'm about to tell you right now." "Don't look!" "Woman ticking my nerves already." "Anyways, two years ago, at the annual Starfire Ranch summer barbecue..." "And everybody goes to it..." "Tally saw Stephanie's horse outside the tack room." "So he went up to check it out and he found John and Stephanie sucking face." "Hey, easy, easy, easy!" "Hey!" "Tally kicked John's ass real good." "I mean, literally kicked his ass." "Stephanie ran out of there screaming," ""He's gonna kill me!" "He's gonna kill me!"" "Then, she hopped a horse and lit out of there like a bat out of hell." "Stephanie, she never came back." "Next morning, Tally and a couple of his guys found her face down in a cholla cactus field." "Face down." "Deader than a doornail." "Oh, my God!" "It was ruled an accident, but rumor has it the cinch on the saddle had been tampered with." "Roy Hollingsworth, he questioned Tally pretty dang good about that one." "Some folks around here, they don't think it was an accident, including John Dexter." "John thought that Tally killed her?" "I mean, I don't think he's capable of murder, do you?" "Well, you know, Tally, he has a bad temper." "Don't be fooled." "But I don't think he coulda killed her either." "Man, must have been fun having Tally and John in the office together after that." " Oh, yeah!" " Ooh." "But I felt the baddest for Yolanda Reyes," "John's girl." "Now, she knew he was a playboy, but she said he always came home at night, so..." "In fact, I just saw her at the dry cleaners the other day where she works." "Oh." "Ginger, let me get this." "Well, sure." "I was just gonna show you a picture of John and Yolanda." "He was pretty proud of that truck, I tell ya." "Oh, excuse me." "Do you have any money for lunch?" "Mm, well, I'm not running a shelter down here, so head on out with all the other runaways." "What?" "Oh, come on, Lucy." "Kid looked like she was starving to death." "It wouldn't kill you to give her a sandwich." "Oh, it wouldn't kill you to give her a sandwich either." "Why don't you mind your business, Elwood?" "I cannot afford to feed every ragamuffin runaway that comes in this town." "Let Claudia Phillips and her shelter do it." "Oh, honey, I gotta go." "Okay to leave you here for the check?" "Can I just leave money on the table and come with you?" "Gross, Ginger." "Cryin' shame, these girls." "Young as 12, turning tricks for food and drugs." "I read somewhere they call them "throwaway kids."" "Sometimes they disappear and end up in those sheiks' harems." "Hey." "Hey, when's the last time you had something to eat?" "Yesterday." "I had some French fries yesterday." "Okay." "Here." "Take this, go in there and order the daily special." "It's delicious." "Okay?" "What's your name?" " Courtney." " Courtney." "When you're done eating, you should call home." "I bet somebody really misses you." "Hey, where did you say that shelter was?" "Uh, Desert Harbor?" "About three blocks north, honey." "All right." "I'll see you back at the office." "Okay, hon." " Hey, Ginger?" " Yeah?" "You don't think that Tally really had anything to do with John Dexter's disappearance, do you?" "Of course not, honey." "But, hey, you're the big fancy reporter." "Go on down to the sheriff's office." "Roy will give you the skinny on everything." "Okay." "Well, hello." "Hello, I'm Kendall O'Dell." "I'm the new reporter with The Sun." "I was hoping I could speak with Sheriff Hollingsworth, please." "Uh, uh, he's out." "I can help you though." "I'm Deputy Duane Potts." "I believe the young lady was asking for me, Duane." "For gosh sakes, Roy, I thought you were, uh, gone." "Come on in, Miss, uh, O'Dell, is it?" "Please." "Come on in." "Have a seat." "Thank you." "I was hoping if I could just ask you a few questions about the disappearance of John Dexter." "God Almighty." "Tugg has you digging into that dead end?" "Things must be slower than I thought over at The Sun." "Bring me the John Dexter file, Duane!" "Thanks, Duane." "Acts like he's never seen a beautiful woman before." " I apologize." " It's okay." "Who was the last person to see John Dexter?" "It might've been me." "I pulled his ass over for speeding in that souped-up truck, and, uh..." "Here it is..." "I wrote him this ticket right here on the 10th of April." " And where was that?" " He was heading south on 89 toward Phoenix." "Did he seem upset or anything like that?" "Well, nobody's really happy when they get pulled over, but he might've been a bit more pissed off than usual," "I suppose." "John and I had our differences." "How so?" "Well, it was nothing really." "He had a job to do, and I understand that sensationalism sells newspapers." "So there wasn't anything unusual about him that day?" "His car was filled with his belongings, and he was in a hurry, obviously." "John..." "liked the ladies." "I think one of them was giving him some pressure, and he just skipped out." "Do you mind if I see that ticket, please?" "No, sure." "Thank you." "I just have one more question." "Did you ever suspect Bradley Talverson to be a suspect in John Dexter's disappearance?" "You are too much." "You do understand that Tally is one of our most respected citizens, right?" "Yes, but I heard there was bad blood between them." "There was a woman between them, who looked a lot like you, incidentally." "Spunky like you too." "Must be a red hair thing." "And she's dead." "And you're convinced that was an accident?" "That's right, an accident." "Well, thank you." "I appreciate your time and your willingness to help me do my job." "Anytime." "Always glad to help a lady." "Especially one that works at our newspaper." "What did you say to Roy?" "About what?" "I didn't say anything." "I just..." "About covering up a murder." " You didn't say anything?" " No." "Demand to see files and throwing a bunch of questions at him?" "None of that happened, huh?" "No, I don't know why he would say that." "I went in there to introduce myself." "I can't believe he would even say that." "There's a lot of things you better start believing in." "If it wasn't for Roy bailing us out when this paper went belly up last year, you wouldn't have a job, you understand?" "What?" "Roy owns 60% of this paper, darling, and... he's my brother-in-law." "Oh, brother." "I..." "Sorry." "Let's just pick this up tomorrow, okay?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Go." "See you tomorrow." "Get out." "Get out." "Get out." "Who's there?" "Hey, Ginger." "Girl, you got to get over here and see this baby right now!" "Right now?" "Um, did I stutter?" "I said right now." "Okay, I'm on my way." "Hi!" "How are you?" " Ain't you a sweetie!" " Thank you." "Come on." "Thank you." "Come on." " Hi." " This is Tom." " Hi." " This is my sister, Bonnie." "I call her Bon-Bon." "This here is Kendall O'Dell." " Well, hi, Kendall." " My new BFF." "Well, Ginger's told us all about you, Kendall." "Oh, my goodness." "Hi." "You are so cute." "Do you know how lucky you are?" "Oh, we're the lucky ones." "Thank God Ginger introduced us to Eric Heisler." "And they named the baby Erica." " Ain't that sweet?" " Yes." "Let's have a toast." " Oh." " Thank you." " Take that." " Thank you." "Well, to Erica and Eric, our new baby, and the best adoption lawyer ever." "Cheers." "Mm, you know what I'm thinking?" "I'm thinking you need to meet Eric." "No, Ginger." "I told you I don't want to meet any men." "He's drop-dead gorgeous." " Drop-dead." " Yes." "And filthy stinking rich." "And he's single, and he's very sophisticated." " And he's got a plane." " Oh." "Mm-hmm." "He brought our baby back from Virginia in it." " Ginger!" " You hush now." "Aunt Ginger knows what she's doin'." "See something you like?" "What?" "No." "No!" "Kendall O'Dell." "John Dexter is there?" "N-No." "May I ask who's calling?" "He needs to come quick with the money." "Please, and the tickets for the bus to Nogales." "Please, hurry." "G..." "Uh, hello?" "Hello?" "That was weird." "Who the hell was that?" "I don't know." "Some woman looking for John." "Imagine that." "I know, I know." "I hear ya." "I hear..." "I will talk to a doctor, damn it." "Now goodbye." "I'm hangin' up." "I'm hangin' up." "Goodbye." "Hey..." "Oh, I'm sorry." "I didn't know you were on the phone." "It's okay." "Come on in." "I just got a really weird call from a woman looking for John." "She sounded really young and really scared, and she said that he owed her money" " and bus tickets to Nogales." " Bus tickets." "I feel like there's a lot of young girls around here and maybe that John stumbled upon something." "Like what?" "I don't know." "Like maybe there's a..." "Like a human smuggling ring going on in Castle Valley." "A smuggling ring." "We're not gonna turn this paper into The National Enquirer." "I'm not implying that we do that." "I'm just saying that" "I think that John was onto something." "Hmm." "How about if I do an article... on the runaway girls?" "I'll do an article on the shelter." "I can get a lot of good information from Desert Harbor Shelter." " What do you think?" " Okay." "Tie it in with the fundraiser at Whispering Winds Ranch next weekend." "Yeah, Desert Harbor is their main beneficiary." "And make sure you get photos of Eric Heisler, the host." "Every time he's on our front page, we double in sales." "Great." "Thank you." "I'm gonna say this again, doll." "I want you to be careful." "Okay?" " Sí?" " Hi." "I was hoping to speak with Claudia Phillips?" "Come." "May I help you?" "Yes." "Hello." "I'm Kendall O'Dell." "I'm a reporter with The Sun." "I'm doing a story on runaway teens, and I was hoping I could ask you few questions." "I'm Claudia Phillips." "And I'm unfortunately very busy today." "Perhaps..." "I was thinking, with the big fundraiser coming up, this would be a great opportunity to bring some revenue into this place and..." "Two minutes." "Okay." "How many girls do you usually have staying here?" "Eight to 10." "And do you limit how long that they can stay or..." "No, we are not a residence." "This is a place for girls in crisis to sleep and shower, get some clothes, food, medical attention if they need it." "And how do you get most of your funding?" "Is it the fundraiser mostly, or..." "We get a pathetic amount of funding from the state, an occasional federal grant." "So I'm happy for any interest you generate." "Oh, well, thank you." "How did you get involved in this kind of work?" "I was a runaway once." "Yes, I was." "Anyway, when Violet, who founded this shelter, met her untimely death, I stepped in." "What happened to her?" "Hit-and-run." "It happens a lot here." "Perhaps because we're close to the border, I don't know." "Oh, that's so sad." "Well, you're obviously very busy." "Thank you for your time." "Before I go, can I just take a few pictures of the girls and maybe interview them?" "I think it would really, you know, help the article and..." "Out of the question." "Daniela?" "She will show you out." "Well, I wouldn't use their faces or their real names or anything." "I just think it would really add to the article to be able to use that." "No, it is against policy." "Whose policy?" "Mine." "Daniela." "Absolutely not." "I don't think so." "I have not met anyone." "I've only been here a month." "Okay, love you too." "Bye, Dad." " Hey there." " Oh, hi." "So, I heard you need a ride to the fundraiser tomorrow night." "Oh, did a woman with a Texas accent tell you that?" "Mm-hmm." "So I'll pick you up at 6:30." "I didn't say yes." "6:30." "You need to stop setting me up with people." "Didn't anyone ever tell you you're not supposed to hook up with people you work with?" "It's a small town, darling." "Limited selection." "Well, maybe not for you." "You already said you were gonna set me up with Eric Heisler." "Make them compete for you, girl." "Golly!" "Don't you need a refresher course." "Who's out there?" "I'm not afraid of you!" "So much for a quick shopping trip to Phoenix." "I'm sorry, Kendall." "I should've known there'd be a backup on 17." "It's 6:00, Ginger!" "I said I'm sorry." "Oh, God, no!" "Oh, God, no!" "Oh." "Oh." "You're early." "Yeah." "Yeah, so it appears." "You know, I may be wrong, but, uh, don't you think you're slightly underdressed for tonight's event?" "No." "I always go to black-tie events in my underwear." "Okay." "Yeah, whatever burns your shorts." "So you wanna tell me what you're, uh, what you're doing out here?" "I can't go back inside that house." "And why's that?" "Because there is a herd... of giant spiders in my bathtub." "Oh, a herd of spiders, huh?" "You know they actually have a term for a herd of spiders?" "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah, it's called a skittering." " Are you making that up?" " No, I am not." "It's a term of venery." "Like a school of fish or a pride of lions or a murder of crow." "So why don't you put this on over here?" "Here you go." "And I will round those spiders up while you're showering." "Nice try." "Why don't you go first?" "Okay, but you owe me." " Owe you?" " Hell yeah." "I don't see Spider-Man anywhere to save you, do I?" "No." "Taking advantage of a damsel in distress would never occur to you, of course." "Never." "What do you want?" "Dinner." "Dinner?" "Dinner." "Oh, no, that's my good pillowcase." "Well, that's my jacket." "You wanna trade?" "What are you gonna do with them?" "I'm gonna turn 'em loose outside." "They're harmless." "No, no, no." "Please, just kill them." "You must have me confused with someone else." "Killing's not my style." " I'm sorry." " It's okay." "Just be careful in the bathtub." "Someone..." "They went out of their way to play a cruel joke on you." "So they sprayed WD40 all over the tub." "These guys couldn't get out." "Who'd do something like that?" "I had the door locked." "Well, you probably left the door open." " I didn't." " You probably did, but whatever." "Okay, well, turn around please." "Okay." "No peeking." " Please take them out!" " All right, all right, all right, but you owe me." "Wow." "Well, it's the best I can do." "Remember, dinner, my place, next Saturday." "I'll think about it." "Well, I better go earn my paycheck." " You better." "Oh, hey." " Hi." "Just don't talk to strangers." "* When he walked into the bar I could tell *" "* That his mind was far away" "* He looked like he'd just been through hell *" "* And today hadn't been his day *" "* He sat down at a table for two *" "* And then he just stared off into space *" "* He ordered Old Number 7" "* Shot it down" "* And he, he wrinkled his face" "* He did this a time or two" "* Or maybe three or four" "* Then he slowly got up, he blinked his eyes... *" "If you could get together a little closer, that'd be great." "Thank you." "Oh!" "I am so..." "I am so sorry." " So sorry." " Wow." " I am so sorry." " Where's my wallet?" " I already gave." " I'm so sorry." "Hi, I'm Kendall O'Dell." "I'm a reporter with The Sun." "I'm Mike Scott." "I'm an attorney." "If anyone needs one, I'm available." "Can I buy you a drink?" "Ah." "You need to work on your pickup lines a little bit." "Can you buy me a drink?" "Very funny." "Sorry, I'm newly divorced." "I'm a little rusty at this." "Well, I'm newly dumped, and I'm a little angry, so..." "Who's that?" "That is Claudia Phillips." "She is actually the woman who runs Desert Harbor Shelter." "She's very friendly, isn't she?" "I think I know her from somewhere." "If you remember where you've seen her from, please give me a call." "I would greatly appreciate it." "I will." "If it kills me." "I promise." "Enchanting is an understatement." "I don't think we've met, Miss..." "I do hope it is "Miss."" "Yes, Kendall O'Dell." "Eric Heisler." "Oh, thank you." "Yeah, I'm Kendall O'Dell." "I'm a reporter with The Sun." "Ah, a reporter." " Yes." " Excellent." "Well, I appreciate your interest in our efforts this evening." "Well, I'm sorry I'm not a big benefactor." "I'm just a poor working girl trying to get some pictures." "Actually, could I get a picture of you, if you don't mind?" " Of course." " Oh, good." "Excellent." "Can I get a picture of you?" "Um, I don't know." "Please." "I mean this night's all about you and Desert Harbor, so..." "I know." "Just one picture to capture the beauty of this night." "A picture is worth a thousand words, you know." " Okay." " All right." "Ah, there you are, my little desert flower." "Talverson." "I didn't realize you were here with someone." "Oh, I'm not." "I'm not here with anybody." "Oh, come on, darling." "Don't make a scene here right now." "She gets a little cranky when I don't feed her on time." "Okay." "It was really nice to meet you." " Uh, no..." " Bye-bye." "What?" ""My little desert flower?"" " Are you nuts?" " Oh, come on." "It's a good thing I came here when I did." "Why is that?" "God, Kendall, trust me." "That guy's a snake." "You think everyone's a snake, do you know that?" "Do you know your eyes look like little storm clouds when you get angry?" "Please don't talk to me the rest of the night." "And please never interfere with my work again." "All right." "Do you know where Ginger went?" "I have a bone to pick with her." "I don't know." "I think she left." "Here you go, Dr. Price." "Jack neat." "Oh, are you Dr. Price from Serenity House?" "I'm Kendall O'Dell with The Sun." "I'm your neighbor right down the road from you." "I, uh..." "You know, I actually did a series on psychiatric hospitals when I lived in Philly, and I was hoping maybe you and I could talk together some time." "Don't hold your breath, babe." "All right, thank you." " Is he drunk?" " I don't think so." "Well, thank you all for coming." "I want to thank each and every one of you personally for supporting this very important cause." "Through your generosity, young women in crisis are getting a fresh start and a second chance at realizing their full potential as valuable members of society." "To our past and continued success, and to the exciting possibilities our future holds." "Cheers." "To you." "Have fun, everybody!" "You have a good night." "Well, well, well." "Don't tell me you believe in leaving with the one who brought you now." "Please open the damn door." "I thought you were getting a ride with Heisler." "Your chariot awaits." "So what's your problem with Eric Heisler?" "You don't like snakes, remember?" "Everyone seems to think he's really great, so..." "Right." "Have you heard that he has to come up with a half million bucks before the end of the month or he loses Whispering Winds?" "Not so great now, huh?" "You sound like a boy with a jealousy problem." "You know what?" "You should try growing up." "Eric slept with my wife." "I'm really..." "I'm sorry, I didn't..." "See ya around." "You don't look so happy, sugar." "I'm not." "Who did you tell about my spider phobia?" " I don't really remember." " Yes, you do." "Think." "Somebody put a skittering of tarantulas in my bathtub." " A what?" " A s..." "Never mind." "It's not important." "I just need to know who you told." "Maybe Colleen at the beauty shop." " Okay, who else was there?" " I don't remember." "Yes, think!" "All right, give me a sec." "All right?" "Mabel Pritchard," "Fran from the bakery, and Rita Torres." "Okay, was Lucinda there?" "I believe she was." "Yolanda!" "Yolanda Reyes?" "Can I talk to you about the disappearance of John Dexter?" "You've heard from him?" "No, I was hoping you heard from him." "I'm Kendall O'Dell." "I took his position at the newspaper after he vanished." "I have not heard from him for many weeks." "You don't know why he would've left so suddenly?" "A girl called the paper the other day and she said that John owed her bus tickets and money to Nogales." "It was probably her." "He must have gone with her." "But if he went with her, then what happened to his truck?" "I don't know." "He left without saying goodbye." "The apartment manager said that some men came and took all his belongings." "Well, listen, if you remember anything, will you please give me a call?" "Thank you." "Oh, well, howdy, Miss O'Dell." "Hello, Duane." "Um, is the sheriff in?" "Uh, nope, he's, uh, he's in Las Vegas." "Roy's a gambler, you know?" "Vegas or Laughlin or the Indian casinos." "When Roy ain't here, that's where you'll find him." "Well, he must be very lucky." "Yeah, well, I don't know if he's all that lucky." "He's always bitching about how much he loses on the tables every day." "Not lucky." "Listen, Duane," "I would really like to see those files of those two girls that were found dead in the desert." "I was..." "Duane?" "Yeah, yeah, sure, sure." "Let me grab them real quick." "Just wait right here." "Hey, you know, I made some, some fresh coffee." "World famous." "You, uh..." " This is it." "You want some?" " Yes, I would love some." " Thank you." " I'll be right back." "It's hot." "Um, it's supposed to say "toxicology,"" "but there's this handwriting." "Can you read this?" "Hmm." "Roy's handwriting is terrible, ain't it?" "Yeah, it says "toxicology,"" "but then there's nothing written here." "Hmm, that's something." "Probably misfiled." "I'll look." "You know what?" "I gotta get that real quick." "Hey, where were these bodies found?" "Uh, they were found on the Starfire Ranch." "You know, the Talverson spread." "Hello?" "Right where I'll be on Saturday." "Eric Heisler." "Hi, it's Kendall." "I called for a quote from you." "Ah, yes, collecting, are you?" "Why don't we get together in person?" "How about dinner Friday night?" "Okay." "Where?" "I'll pick you up at 7:00." "Actually, I'll meet you somewhere." "I live in the boonies." "I know every inch of real estate in Arizona, but..." "I'm not familiar with the boonies." "It's Lost Canyon Road." "You are as brave as you are beautiful." "I don't know any woman who would want to live in such isolation." "Well, I'm happy there." "Um, where should I meet you on Friday?" "I promised you a special evening." "Well, you are certainly off to a good start." "Thank you." " You look great." " Thank you." "So I brought my notepad." "Okay." "Okay." "Let's talk about what you need for your article so we can get that out of the way, and the rest of the night can be ours." " Okay." " What do you want to know about Desert Harbor Shelter and its commitment to helping young women in crisis?" "Well, there are so many charitable causes that could benefit from your involvement." "Why Desert Harbor?" "Ah." "It actually came about as a result of my work with adoptive parents." "I was driving home from Tucson one Sunday evening, and I passed a young girl on the side of the road with her thumb out." "Something made me stop." "And for the next hour, she told me about her dysfunctional family." "She tried so hard to convince me that she was in control of her life." "But I saw a frightened little girl that was desperate for somebody to care about her." "What did you do with her?" "I was haunted by how tragic her life seemed." "I had just met a girl whose parents had essentially thrown her away." "Ironically, I was dealing with a very difficult adoption case at the time." "I had this childless couple who were desperate to have a child they could call their own." "They would do anything." "That was the inspiration." "And then when a friend mentioned Desert Harbor Shelter For Girls," "I knew I had to get involved." "I didn't know that." "There's a lot you don't know about me." "But the night is young." "Well, sadly, I have to make it a short night." "I have a long day tomorrow." " But tomorrow is Saturday." " I know." "I was hoping that I could show you around a little bit." " Can I take a rain check?" " Really?" "Of course." "How about a dance?" "Absolutely." "Oh, my gosh, I see you found our local thrift stop." "Oh, knock it off, Lucinda." "Hi." "Tal, she doesn't know to buy a straw hat." "Hey, news flash, honey." "Felt is for winter." "Hey, be nice." "Come on." " Hey, how are you?" " Hi." "Let's get you mounted up over here." "Have you ever ridden a horse before?" " Yes." " Yeah?" "Okay." " Are you really doing this?" " What's up, Jeremy?" "Yes, we are doing this." "Hop on up." " Wow." " Look at that." "Wow." "Could watch it all day." "Mm-hmm." "Good luck, Tally." "Ah, thank you." " Come on." " This oughta be good." "I was pretty horrified when I first got to Castle Valley." "It's just so dry here." "But it's very different than it is back home, that's for sure." "It grows on you." "Hey, Ginger told me that you moved to New York a while back." "I mean, but I can definitely understand why you'd want to come back here." "Yeah, it's in my blood." "And nothing beats riding in the desert." "Then when it rains here, oh, man, you can't imagine how good it smells." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Thank you for inviting me here today." "Of course." "But I'm not quite sure where we're gonna go to eat." "We're almost there." "Almost there." "I don't really see a "there" out there." "Trust me." "Hey, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Yeah." "It's really nice here." "I don't understand why Stephanie didn't like it." "Oh, boy." "Wow." "Is there anything Ginger hasn't told you?" "I don't know." "Why don't you tell me?" "Well, did you know that Stephanie and Eric were planning on grabbing half of Starfire in the divorce settlement?" "Ol' Eric had some developers all ready to buy up the land and turn it into some kind of, I don't know, suburb of Phoenix." "Ginger did not tell me that." "Well, there you go." "Some things are just, uh..." "Yeah." " It's so pretty here." " Mm-hmm." "Stephanie was a fool." "Why you gotta bring her up?" "I'm not trying to upset you." "I just don't understand, you know?" "I mean, didn't she love you?" "Didn't you love her?" "No!" "No, and..." "Actually, I hated her." "And I hated John Dexter for implying that I killed her." "I..." "I'm sorry." "It's just with John Dexter missing," "I'm trying to piece together how this..." "I'm responsible for that too." "You know what?" "This conversation's over." "Well, that went well." "What the..." "Tugg here." "Hey, Tugg." "Hey, Kendall, what's going on?" "Hi, it's me." "I'm really sorry to bother you on a Sunday night, but I'm at the office and the power just went out." "Does that normally happen?" "No, no, it doesn't." "Could be a breaker." "The breaker box is in the utility room." "Okay, um, I'll take care of it." "I'm on the way." "No, no, no." "Really, I didn't want to bother you." "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" " Be careful now." " Okay." "Bye." "Kendall!" "Kendall!" "Hey!" "Kendall!" "Hey, what happened?" "I..." "I don't..." "I don't know." "I was here working and I..." "The power went out, and I don't know if somebody hit me over the head or I bumped into something." "What are you doing here working so late?" "What are you doing here?" "I was on my way home from a baseball game in Phoenix." "I saw your car, so I stopped." "I think we should call the sheriff." "There's no need for that." "I'm part of the sheriff's posse." " I didn't know that." " Yeah, a lot of us are." "We help him out when he needs us." "So you have access to his files?" "Yeah, of course." "We've been deputized." "Come on." "Let's get out of here." "Come on." " Kendall, you okay?" " Yeah, she's fine, Tugg." "She's got a little goose egg on the head." "I'll take her home." "I got worried when I called back and you didn't answer." "I have some notes I'd like to show you before I get in tomorrow, if that's okay." "Sure." "So when'd the power come back on?" "A few minutes ago." "Breaker was flipped, so I fixed it." "I guess I need to start carrying a flashlight with me." "God, I had my notes." "They were right here!" "That was a nasty blow you took to the back of your head." "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" "I don't know." "I guess I can look for them at home." "Kendall, whenever you're here alone, make sure to lock that door, okay?" "I did." " Door wasn't locked." " I know I locked it." "It wasn't." "Whatever." "Well, just be sure from now on, okay?" "Come on." "I'll take you home." "No, no, no, no, no, please." "It's fine." "All right, fine." "Have it your way." "Maybe we should cancel your introduction to Mexican food tomorrow night then." "No." "You said tequila's a good painkiller." "I'm sorry I made you come in." " I'll see you tomorrow." " Drive careful." "Hello?" "Stay away from him, or you will die!" "This is insane." "What's this?" "We were hoping you'd tell us." "Looks like someone has a secret admirer." "Come on now." "Who are they from?" "Yeah, who are they from?" "My father." "Yeah, right." "What's eating him?" "Who knows?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Hold your horses." "Remember you asked me who was in the beauty shop when I opened my big mouth about your whole spider thingy?" " Mm-hmm." " Well, she's so damn skinny it's no wonder I don't remember seeing her, but Claudia Phillips." "Thank you, Ginger." "We're still introducing you to Mexican food later, ain't we?" "Mm-hmm." "Yes." " Hey, Lucy." " Darling." "She's here." "She's here." "Kendall, come on, come on, girl." " Hi." " Where you been?" "Almost sent the sheriff posse out to fetch ya." "I'm so sorry." "I got held up on the phone." "Anyone we know?" "I'm sure it was her father." "Had to thank him for those flowers, huh?" "You are so perceptive." "Um, can I have a white zinfandel, please?" " White zinfandel." " White zinfandel." "Wine?" "This isn't a sushi restaurant." "Can we get her a margarita, please?" "Thank you." "Not for me." "I learned my lesson a long time ago." "What lesson would that be, Tugg?" "If I tell you, then you won't learn the lesson." "Be careful on that tequila." "It'll sneak up on you." " Yes, it does." " Ooh-whee!" "All right, I'll tell you anything you want to know." "Anything." "With Ginger, it works like truth serum." "Shut your pie hole, Jim." "Shut your pie hole, Jim." " Salud!" " Salud!" "Bam, bam, bam, bam." "Here we go." " Mm-mm..." " Mm." "Those dang things are good, ain't they?" " Mm-hmm." " Come on, sugar." " Food, food, food, Here we go." " This is all for me?" "Don't worry, honey." "You can take home what you don't eat." " Why don't you, uh..." " Looks real good." "...try that pepper there?" " This?" " Whoa, careful." "Mexican food is a lot like the desert heat." "It's not for the delicate damsels or the faint of heart." "Well, since I'm neither a damsel nor faint of heart," "I think I will be just fine." " Uh-huh." " Okay, bite it." " Go on." " Go ahead, bite it." " Okay." " Go ahead, tough girl." "Bite it." "Yeah." " Yeah." " Mm-mm." " Here it comes!" "Here it comes!" " Ooh!" "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, I will be right back." " The sinuses caught up." " That got her, man." "Her eyes are already watering." "After all he's done, how can you even think about quitting?" "I don't care how you handle it, but take care of her." "There's too much at stake." "And I don't want to hear another word about, Charles." "He's my brother." "I'll handle him." "Hey, Sheriff, how's it going, man?" "Some days you're flying high, some days you're grounded." "You got that right." " We all good here?" " Yeah, we're good." " You need a receipt?" " No, no, all good." "Thanks." "Thanks, man." "Hey." "Well, good afternoon, Sleeping Beauty." "Bad hangover?" "Everybody does it at least once." "Yeah, but it's the dumb ones that do it more than once." "Guilty!" "Oh, sugar, you want me to get you some aspirin?" "No, thank you." "Hi, can I talk to Mike Scott, please?" "Um, okay." "I'll just leave him a voice message." "Hi, Mike, it's Kendall O'Dell from The Sun." "Listen, I have something that may jog your memory." "Claudia Phillips has a brother named Charles." "Call me back." "Bye." "Eric Heisler." "Hi, the flowers are beautiful, but you shouldn't have." "Indeed, I should have." "It is rare to meet someone as beautiful as you." "I have a surprise." "You sly devil." "Where should I meet you?" "No, it's a surprise." "How about I pick you up this time?" "Uh, say 6:00?" "Sure." "What should I wear?" " Hi!" " Hi." "You look nice." "No, you look nice." "Thank you." "Come on." "Tell me where we're going." "Do you know where Prescott is?" "Uh, I passed through it." "Why?" "It's part of the surprise." "Can you give me a hint?" "Be patient." "I've never been very good at that." "Trust me, this is worth waiting for." "Uh, are we eating at the airport?" "Actually, I had something a little more exciting in mind." "Is this yours?" "Yeah, it's one of them." "Seriously?" "I am gonna go talk to Mike, and we should be good to go." "Okay." "Ginger is never going to believe this." "So where are you taking me exactly?" "How does the Bellagio sound?" " Are you kidding me?" " No, I'm serious." " Is your seatbelt good?" " Yeah." "Okay, just slide that canopy forward a little bit." " Okay." " I got it." "Here we go." "Oh, my gosh, Eric," "I cannot believe that you took me to Vegas." "It's been such a magical night." "Mm, viva Las Vegas, baby." "Please think about what I told you." "My good friend's the publisher of The Phoenix Daily, and your talent is right for there, not here." "You'll make more money." "We could see each other more." "I have to get some sleep, but I will think about it." "Mm." "What the hell are you doing?" "It's 5:00 in the morning." "How could you spend the night with that snake?" "I didn't." "I mean I did, but I didn't." "And what do you care?" "It's none of your business anyway." "I'm trying to protect you." "From what?" "Having fun with another man?" "I should've known." "You're just like her." "Hey." "Hey!" "Like who?" "Like Stephanie?" "You don't even know anything about me." "Hey!" "I need you to tell me what happened to her, Tally." "I didn't kill her, if that's what you're asking." "I never said that you did." " Hello?" " Hey, Kendall, it's Mike Scott." " You owe me a drink?" " I do?" "Your voice-mail jarred my memory." "I remember where I saw your friend Claudia." "Where?" "When I worked in the DA's office," "I had the pleasure in assisting in putting her brother, Charles Sheffield away, for 10 years." "For what?" "He was a gynecologist." "Guy got his jollies off of drugging and molesting teenage patients." "Oh, my God!" "Claudia testified on his behalf, only her name was not Claudia." "It was Rochelle, and she looked different." " Where is Charles incarcerated?" " He isn't." "Got out on good behavior three years ago, and no one's seen hide nor hair of him since." "You're right, Mike." "I totally owe you a drink." "Oh, my God!" "Price is Sheffield!" " Hello?" " Grab your camera." "Hightail about two miles up Lost Canyon from where you live." "A young guy found a body up there." "A girl." "Yeah, now." "Yeah." "Front page." "Makes you sick the first time you see something like this." "I just picked up this girl hitchhiking a few weeks ago." "What the hell are you doing, Miss O'Dell?" "This is a crime scene on private property." "You probably already destroyed evidence." "Yeah, isn't that more your department, Sheriff?" " Duane." " Yes, sir." "Come here." "What exactly are you insinuating?" "Hey, did you ever find those two supposedly misfiled toxicology reports on the two dead girls?" "Because, you know, this is the third dead girl found in the desert in two years, and I'm starting to think that maybe there's some kind of connection." "And you know what?" "I think that someone before me, also was starting to connect the dots." "Really?" "There's three murdered girls?" "That's for the medical examiner to decide." "Yeah, this girl shot herself in the back." " Hey, you can't do that." " Yes, I can, and I did." "Okay?" "Critical evidence taken from a crime scene from an uncooperative witness." "Oh." "Look what happened there." "You should be more careful." "Do we understand each other now?" "Better than you think." "I know, Yolanda, but it's the only way that I can get past the guard and the dogs." "Look, I was able to get what I need." "Were you able to get the uniform from your cousin?" "Yeah, it might be dicey." "It might be really dicey, but I mean, don't you want me to find out what happened to John?" "Okay." "What time does the van get there?" "Okay, all right." "Yes, it will work." "I just need you to distract them for a minute." "Okay?" "And listen, if you haven't heard from me by 8:00 tomorrow morning," "I need you to call Tugg and tell him where I went." "Okay." "Holy crap!" "I was right!" "I found you." "Mujer estupida!" "Go!" "Well, well, well." "What do we have here?" "Habla Inglés, baby?" "No?" "That's too bad." "Fortunately, I know lots of dirty words in Spanish." "You're very pretty." "Little long in the tooth for my liking," " but you'll do just fine." " No!" "No!" "Now, now, now." "Calm down." "You're a feisty one too, huh?" "I like that." "You like that hair pulled, bitch?" " What the..." "What the hell?" " Get off me!" " You!" " Get off me!" "Get off me!" "Charles!" "Must you screw the help too?" "Not exactly the help, huh, sis?" "Take a better look." " You!" " That's right, Rochelle." "And I know who you are, and I know what you guys are doing." "And so does my editor." "You idiot, Charles!" "You damn uncontrollable pervert!" "I should've had you neutered years ago." "I told you letting those girls escape would be our downfall." " But, Sissy, I..." " Shut up!" "Help me get her in the cellar and let's get the chloroform!" "No." "No!" "No!" "It's time for the chloroform game." " Playing the chloroform game." " No!" "No!" "You fool." "Had to find out what happened to John Dexter, did you?" "Oh, you'll be joining him soon." "Idiot." "I should kill you too." "Come on." "Let's go." "I'll be back for you later, baby." "Get moving!" "Jesus!" "Coming." "I'm coming." "Oh, God!" "Oh, come on." "Oh, come on." "But, Sissy, he said he'd be here any minute, and-and-and not to harm her." "I don't care what he said." "Do it!" "All right, I'm going, I'm going." "She's gone!" "You must've left the door unlocked!" "I'm calling Roy." "She can't have gone far." "Find her!" "Hey." "Hey." "Oh, my God." "Disappointed is an understatement." " Take it easy." " Eric?" "Things could have been so different between us." " Come on." " What are you doing here?" " Come on." " Mr. Richardson?" "Dr. Price says I'm due any day now." "Can we talk about my money?" "Yeah, not now." "You'll get your money." "All right, go sit down." "Come on." "Nice and easy." "It'll be okay." "Come on." "Um, Tugg?" " Mm-hmm?" " I'm sorry to bother you, but Yolanda Reyes is here to see you." "I'm busy." "She says it's about Kendall." "You're never gonna get away with this!" " Shut up!" " You killed John Dexter!" "Desert Harbor Shelter is your sick little breeding farm!" "You're a sick bastard!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Is that why you killed those girls in the desert, because they couldn't conceive?" "I killed them." " I killed John Dexter too." " No!" "I'm going to kill you too." "And you." "She means nothing to me, Rochelle." "I'll kill her myself." "Then you and I, we can escape to the Caymans, just like we planned, and get married." "We have a lot of money there." "Lying bastard!" "I shouldn't have listened to you!" "Everything is ruined!" "You look just like that other whore with red hair I had to kill." "You?" "You killed her?" "Stephanie was not a whore, Rochelle!" "Did you really think I'd stand by and let you screw your little playmate under my nose?" "Aaah!" "I..." "You saw what happened, right?" "She wa..." "She was crazy." "I..." "It was self-defense." " Come on." "Come on." " No." "You're my ticket out of here." "Come on." " Come on!" " No!" "No!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" " No!" "No!" "No!" " Come on." "No." "No." "Please." "Please don't hurt me!" "No!" "No!" " Get..." " No." "No." "Come on!" "You ruined everything." "Good!" "Now let go of me!" "Get out of the truck." "Get out of the truck." "Help me, please." "I change tire for you, Señor Richardson?" " Uh!" "No!" " Get in!" " Move!" " Please." "But, Señor..." "Selling babies?" "What kind of monster are you?" "Get to the house." "Hurry." "Go, go, go, go!" "You're never gonna get away with this, do you know that?" " Let me out!" " Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Don't make me have to kill you." "Ah!" "Have you ever been to a rodeo, Mr. Richardson?" "'Cause you're about to be in one." "Come on!" "Let her go, Heisler!" "You stay back!" "I swear I'll kill her!" "Come on!" "It's over!" "The sheriff's on his way here!" "Good." "He works for me." "I could use his help." " Roy's in on it!" " Shut up!" " No!" " Aaah!" "No!" "No!" " You hurt?" " No, I'm not hurt." " Y'all okay?" " I need your horse." "Stop it!" "Let me..." " Aaah!" " Not so tough now, are you?" "Sh..." "You're lower than a snake." "Here." "Tie him up and throw him in the truck." "All right, don't be shy." "Ahh." "All right, guys, a toast." "To the best investigative reporter I ever met." "Thanks for clearing my name." "Thank you for not being the one that hit me over the head, although I did think it was you that night." "Hear!" "Hear!" "I sure didn't figure Roy would do it." "Of course I didn't figure he'd got caught up on all this." "I guess he just needed money to support his gambling habit." "How'd you figure it all out, Kendall?" "Okay, well, the key was in the toxicology reports of the two murdered girls that John Dexter was so interested in." "Both girls had traces of Thorazine in their system, which Sheffield had been using to subdue his patients prior to getting caught." "Thorazine is an antipsychotic drug that doesn't harm a pregnant woman's fetus, and so that's why he had been using it." "And I think me telling you about Eric Heisler helping Bonnie adopt was a real key too." " Don't you, Ken?" " Yes." "I absolutely could not have done it without you." " You ever heard of Roy Rogers?" " Who?" "It's an old cowboy kids used to grow up on." "He had a TV show, and it always ended with him and his wife, Dale Evans, riding off in the sunset singing "Happy Trails To You."" "Oh, I like that, Tally." "A cowboy with a romantic side." "You know, I should keep my eye out for one of those." "Yeah, well, they're hard to catch." "Well, we'll see about that."
