00:06:30Lovely to meet you.
00:06:31Oh, wow.
00:06:33Sarah Wilde, the mystery writer in our store.
00:06:37Go get the camera, Bruce.
00:06:39Are you still writing?
00:06:40We haven't had a new title from you in...
00:06:42Three years.
00:06:43Yeah, yeah.
00:06:43But don't worry.
00:06:44I'm here to work.
00:06:46I probably still want the new book out by Christmas, so...
00:06:48Well, are you here to find a little inspiration from our town?
00:06:52Beatrix, you're fishing.
00:06:53Now, you know, she always gets her inspiration from real life.
00:06:57That's why that camera goes with her wherever she goes.
00:07:00I'm a huge fan.
00:07:01Me too.
00:07:02I'm sure I'll find plenty to inspire me here.

00:08:15I'm good.
00:08:18Thanks, Lewis.
00:08:22Mmm.
00:08:35I'm good.
00:09:11I'm good.
00:09:43I'm good.
00:10:05I'm good.
00:10:07I'm good.
00:10:18I'm good.
00:10:29I'm good.
00:10:35I'm good.
00:10:37I'm good.
00:11:12I haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks.
00:11:14I haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks.
00:11:35I haven't decided yet.
00:12:13I haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks.
00:12:14I haven't heard from you.
00:12:40What are you doing?
00:12:43Marie, hi. They brought me his mail by mistake.
00:12:49Enjoying yourself here?
00:12:50Yes, I am.
00:12:52I wonder if I could borrow some milk.
00:12:55Certainly, yeah.
00:13:00Wow, Gilbert fixed it up. Did he?
00:13:05What about the bedrooms?
00:13:07Um, well, actually, I don't know. Isn't this cozy?
00:13:13This is where you work?
00:13:14Yeah, I, um, work here.
00:13:17I didn't know you liked photography.
00:13:19Well, actually, it's, um, just a hobby.
00:13:24Wine.
00:13:31How about that milk?
00:13:35There you go. I owe you one.
00:13:38If there's ever anything, you know, actually, you know what?
00:13:41Um, I have a question.
00:13:44The house next door.
00:13:46He's a cutie, isn't he?
00:13:48He lives there alone?
00:13:50Technically, it's his father's house.
00:13:52One of his little cottages.
00:13:55The Ellery's are the royalty of Christina Lake.
00:13:58Michael is even richer than he is handsome.
00:14:01Mm-hmm.
00:14:03How'd you like the muffins?
00:14:04Oh, they were fantastic.
00:14:13I had a, I had a couple.
00:14:23Well, dear reader, I must tell you that I am officially infatuated with the boy next door.
00:14:29Over these recent weeks, he has become my inspiration.
00:14:33My muse.
00:14:35With each passing day, I find myself irresistibly drawn to him.
00:14:40Mesmerized by his clear blue eyes and ready smile.
00:14:44Entranced by his broad shoulders, his sculpted arms.
00:14:50Watching him from my window, fantasizing about this mysterious stranger,
00:14:53I found the inspiration I needed for my next novel.
00:14:57But there's so much more to confess.
00:15:00Sometimes I lie in bed, wondering what it would be like if he were here.
00:15:07Finally, after such a long, long time, I feel completely and totally alive.
00:15:37I don't know, doesn't that feel, isn't it?
00:15:39I thought I'm okay.
00:15:40Yeah.
00:15:41Oh.
00:15:47For heaven's sake.
00:15:50Oh, there she is.
00:15:52Oh, you like the display?
00:15:53Oh, you know what?
00:15:54We thought maybe you could do a little book signing.
00:15:57Well, I really wanted to stay low profile, if possible.
00:16:00How's the book going?
00:16:01Very good.
00:16:02I just finished chapter 10.
00:16:04Oh, well, you know what?
00:16:06Well, I'm not gonna ask you what it's about.
00:16:07I know that writers don't like to, you know, share.
00:16:10But who gets murdered?
00:16:11Oh, my God.
00:16:12She's a mystery writer, Bea.
00:16:14Someone always gets murdered.
00:16:15Is it gonna be her?
00:16:16Just pretend you're hard of hearing.
00:16:18That's what I do.
00:16:18Actually, I'm doing some research.
00:16:21I want to know if you guys could tell me anything about the Ellery family.
00:16:24What do you want to know?
00:16:25Well, I'm basing some of the characters in my book on them.
00:16:29Just some classic, wealthy, powerful figures.
00:16:33Well, wealthy and powerful both sums it up.
00:16:35He owns this building.
00:16:36What about his son?
00:16:38Michael.
00:16:38Yeah.
00:16:39Well, I know the old man would like him to follow in his footsteps,
00:16:42especially since the wife died.
00:16:43You know kids, minds are their own.
00:16:45They just...
00:16:46Beatrix, she doesn't have any children.
00:16:48I read your blog.
00:16:50Love.
00:16:51Thanks, guys.
00:16:52Thanks.
00:16:53Have a good day.
00:16:53Bye.
00:16:54What do you mean?
00:16:55Research.
00:16:58Oh, jeez.
00:16:59Sorry.
00:16:59Sorry.
00:17:00It's okay.
00:17:01Hi.
00:17:02It's Sarah, right?
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:04Guess I'll see you around.
00:17:09Guess I'll see you around.
00:17:43What do you mean?
00:17:45Oh!
00:17:46Oh, my God.
00:18:16Oh, my God.
00:18:46Oh, my God.
00:18:51Oh, my God.
00:18:59Oh, my God.
00:19:26Oh, my God.
00:19:29Oh, my God.
00:19:31Oh, my God.
00:19:34Oh, my God.
00:19:44Oh, my God.
00:19:46Oh, my God.
00:19:53Oh, my God.
00:20:05Oh, my God.
00:20:20Oh, my God.
00:20:22So what are you thinking, Chief?
00:20:24Drugs, maybe?
00:20:29This was no accident.
00:20:40How long do you think it would take for a body to wash up one shore from the dam?
00:20:45I don't know. Depends if it got snagged on the way.
00:20:48A day, maybe two.
00:20:51All right, I want to see him preserved.
00:20:53No one gets past the perimeter, all right? No one.
00:20:56Keep me informed.
00:20:59What are you going to be, Chief?
00:21:02I'm going to talk to Edward Ellery. Tell him his only son is dead.
00:21:23I love you.
00:21:48Maggie, we'll be right back.
00:21:57We're here, over.
00:22:01Still waiting on you.
00:22:03Excuse me.
00:22:04Roger that.
00:22:06Hi.
00:22:10Can you help me?
00:22:12Yeah, what's, uh, what's going on?
00:22:15And you are?
00:22:17Sarah Wild.
00:22:19I'm, I'm just renting this house over here.
00:22:23Did you know Michael Ellery, Ms. Wild?
00:22:25He's my neighbor. Why?
00:22:28Mike Ellery's body washed up on North Beach early this morning.
00:22:33What?
00:22:36He's dead?
00:22:38How well did you know Mr. Ellery?
00:22:39Did you have much contact with him?
00:22:41Uh, ma'am?
00:22:44Uh, no, no, no, no, no, not, not, not really.
00:22:51Did you see anyone suspicious hanging out at the house?
00:22:55I saw a motorcycle here last night.
00:22:57Motorcycle?
00:22:58What kind of motorcycle?
00:23:00I don't know.
00:23:02It was just parked in front of the house.
00:23:05Okay.
00:23:06Anything else?
00:23:10He had a date.
00:23:12The other night.
00:23:13Date?
00:23:15How exactly would you know that, Ms. Wild?
00:23:17I, I was inside the house.
00:23:19I heard a car.
00:23:20I looked out the window and I, I saw her.
00:23:24Okay.
00:23:25Well, here's my card.
00:23:27Did you get anything else?
00:23:30I'll be in touch.
00:23:33Okay.
00:23:33There's a car.
00:23:46Did you get something else?
00:23:50There's a car.
00:23:52There's a car.
00:23:53There's a car.
00:23:53There's a car.
00:23:57Alright.
00:23:57There's a car.
00:24:02There's a car.
00:24:22Yeah, all right, I'll do that, okay
00:24:27What do we know?
00:24:28Emmy says time of death was two nights ago
00:24:31What else?
00:24:32The amount of water in his system, he figures the body was in the water for about a day post
00:24:36-mortem
00:24:39You still thinking the dam?
00:24:43Fibers found on Michael's body suggest that he was wearing a silk shirt
00:24:46We find the shirt, we might be able to pull some of the killer's DNA
00:24:49Well, keep looking
00:24:52Get a hold of Wilson, get him to spray the scene with luminol, see how meticulous he was
00:25:04The Walsh, any sign of forced entry?
00:25:06No, sir, doors, windows, locks, everything was pristine
00:25:20What about the neighbor?
00:25:23She said she didn't see anything, but she acted a little strange when I told her what happened
00:25:31All right, keep me informed
00:25:32Yes, sir
00:25:43What surprised me was the camera
00:25:45I mean, in her office, up above, in the window, and across the way
00:26:19It's terrible, isn't it? You're not safe anywhere anymore
00:26:23I wouldn't do such a thing
00:26:29I heard his father was gonna post a reward
00:26:31How much?
00:26:33I don't know, a million? Two?
00:26:36Heck of a question though, huh?
00:26:38How much is your son worth?
00:26:41You, uh, want a refill?
00:26:43Oh, no, I'm fine, thanks
00:26:45Okay
00:27:01Ms. Wilde!
00:27:08Yes?
00:27:10Chief Serres, I wonder if I could escort you back to the station for a little chat
00:27:15Please
00:27:44Where were you the night before last night?
00:27:45Miss Wilde. Look, I already told you, deputy. Humor me. I was home. Alone? I was writing.
00:27:55Writing? My new novel. All night? Yes, all night. So you never saw or heard
00:28:04anything? He had a date. Can you describe the date? Medium height, dark brown hair.
00:28:15What else? I saw a motorcycle parked outside his house last night. Can you
00:28:21describe it? Color your license plate. Nah, it was dark. I saw him arguing with
00:28:28somebody on his boat a couple days ago. Let me guess, you have no idea who that was
00:28:33either? Nope. A lot of leads, nowhere to go, don't you think? What was your
00:28:40relationship with Michael Ellery? Wait a second. What are you getting at? Well, you
00:28:44might have been the last person to see him alive. Am I a suspect? I'm just trying to
00:28:50put the pieces together. I told you everything that I know. You haven't told
00:28:54me about your relationship with Michael. There was no relationship. He lived next
00:28:58door. Never contacted him? We introduced ourselves. We said hi a couple of times.
00:29:02That is it. Okay. How's a new book coming? Fine. What's it about? Murder mystery. All my books
00:29:18are mysteries. Involving romance? Sometimes. This time? Yeah. About what? Older woman and a younger
00:29:30man? I took a look at your book. We got a search warrant for your house. Confiscated
00:29:36your computer. Wait a second. You were in my house? You took my computer? Michael's death
00:29:40really gave you a lot to write about, didn't it? Oh, thank God. I also took a look at your
00:29:46blog. I find myself mesmerized by his clear blue eyes, entranced by his broad shoulders
00:29:55and sculpted arms. You've got to be kidding me. Sound like anyone we know? Where are you
00:30:02going with this? You see, I have a theory, Miss Wilde. The only divorcee moves to a quaint
00:30:10town, runs a cottage in the water beside a very handsome, very wealthy guy who happens
00:30:16to be quite a bit younger than her. So, she chooses not to pursue, but she watches. Writes
00:30:24about it in her blog, bewares what he eats, who he dates, who's hanging out at his house.
00:30:31And then one day, frustration of this hidden lust having taken its toll, drives her into a jealous
00:30:38rage. I'm not a writer or anything. What do you think? I'm a writer. I draw inspiration
00:30:47from things around me. In his divorce file, your ex-husband claimed that you were unstable.
00:30:59Are you still taking your medication? Okay, okay. You know what? I've had enough of this.
00:31:01Am I being charged or not? No. Great. Miss Wilde. Don't leave town? You got it. Something
00:31:11like that. You take those blood samples to the lab? You are letting her go? Edward, I've
00:31:37got nothing to hold her on. What about her writings? Huh? What about that stuff on the
00:31:41internet? For all we know, she murdered my boy. I understand you believe that. But we don't
00:31:49have enough evidence to- You know what? I will call Mayor Warnwright if I have to. You do what
00:31:54you need to do. My job is to conduct a proper investigation. We will find out who killed your
00:31:59son, Edward.
00:32:37you.
00:32:46you
00:32:48you
00:32:48you
00:32:51I don't know.
00:33:24I don't know.
00:33:49Everything all right, Ms. Boyle?
00:33:52Fine.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:34:58I don't know.
00:35:06Chief.
00:35:07Yeah?
00:35:08I ran the contents of the bedroom past Mr. Ellery.
00:35:10And?
00:35:11I said I couldn't be sure if anything was missing.
00:35:13You know, it's no secret he and his son weren't exactly on the best of terms.
00:35:17Still, it's the son we're talking about, Walsh.
00:35:21Looks like you have a visitor.
00:35:22I guess you made quite an impression.
00:35:25I'll catch up with you, Dave.
00:35:28Hi.
00:35:29Ms. Wilde, can I help you?
00:35:31Well, I would really love to have my laptop back.
00:35:34I'm sorry, but your computer's evidence.
00:35:37Look, I haven't been charged.
00:35:39All right?
00:35:39You've seen what you want to see.
00:35:40I just need it to work.
00:35:42If you like, I could just file for a motion under Rule 41G.
00:35:47Or I could save you all the headaches on the paperwork, and you could just give it to me.
00:35:50What do you say?
00:35:51All right.
00:35:52Wait here.
00:36:01I shouldn't be doing this, but...
00:36:04I really appreciate it.
00:36:12Chief, don't we need that computer for evidence?
00:36:16Don't worry.
00:36:17We've copied everything on the hard drive.
00:36:29We've got to go.
00:37:10I don't know.
00:37:23I don't know.
00:37:56I don't know.
00:38:38I don't know.
00:39:01I don't know.
00:39:31I don't know.
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:02I don't know.
00:40:20I don't know.
00:40:49I don't know.
00:41:22I don't know.
00:41:28I don't know, Lillian.
00:41:29The other day I saw him fighting with this guy on his boat.
00:41:31I need to find out who it was.
00:41:33Sarah, I'm concerned.
00:41:35This isn't one of your books.
00:41:36Reality isn't always neatly wrapped up by page 250.
00:41:39Lillian, Lillian, I'm a big girl.
00:41:41Don't worry about me, okay?
00:41:42I can take care of me, I can take care of myself.
00:41:54Hey, Louis.
00:41:55Hey, Louis.
00:41:56Hey, Louis.
00:41:56You see?
00:41:56I remembered.
00:41:58Impressive.
00:41:58Thanks.
00:42:04Hey, you know who that guy is out there on the bike?
00:42:07Vanilla latte.
00:42:07Vanilla latte, I mean his name.
00:42:10I mean his name.
00:42:10Who is he?
00:42:13His name is Jason.
00:42:14But trust me, he has more trouble than he is worse.
00:42:17That's shaking.
00:42:17Where can I find him?
00:42:19I don't know why everybody's making such a big deal.
00:42:21There's nothing wrong with liking younger men.
00:42:22As a matter of fact, most of us younger men would actually prefer a more mature woman.
00:42:27Louis.
00:42:29Jason.
00:42:31Where can I find him?
00:42:32What do you want with that guy?
00:42:33I've got so much I can offer you.
00:42:36Louis.
00:42:36Please.
00:42:40Try the bar down the street.
00:42:43Thanks, buddy.
00:42:45I'll be here when he breaks your heart.
00:42:47Noted.
00:43:21I'll be here when he breaks my heart.
00:43:22I'll be here when he breaks my heart.
00:43:42Hi.
00:43:44One of us are down.
00:43:47You're that woman they think killed Michael.
00:43:52Saw you at his house the other day.
00:43:55I don't know what you're talking about, Lee.
00:43:58The two of you were fighting.
00:44:02We don't know anything.
00:44:09Well, I know this.
00:44:13What's that?
00:44:15I found it on his boat.
00:44:17What is it, trash?
00:44:19Looks like somebody owes someone a lot of money.
00:44:24And you were at his house the night before they found his body,
00:44:26so I'm just trying to see if there's some kind of connection.
00:44:29Right, fine.
00:44:30You want to know that he owed me money?
00:44:32Is that it? You win.
00:44:34Okay, but I didn't do anything to him.
00:44:36Well, where were you at night when he was killed?
00:44:39At the movies.
00:44:41Alone?
00:44:43With a girl.
00:44:45And she could testify to that?
00:44:46Yeah, yeah.
00:44:47I'd show you the stubs if the chief didn't take him already.
00:44:50Can I get the check?
00:44:51What about Michael?
00:44:54Did he have a girlfriend?
00:44:55I mean, do you know of anybody that would have run over to his house that night?
00:45:00He was loaded and famous, okay?
00:45:03He got plenty of tail.
00:45:06Names?
00:45:08Do you really want to know?
00:45:11I do.
00:45:13I'll call Warner right back there.
00:45:16Warner.
00:45:17Well, who's she?
00:45:19They had a thing a while ago, but I don't think she ever got over him.
00:45:24Not even after her husband beat the crap out of him.
00:45:27Husband?
00:45:29Have fun.
00:45:30No, but, um, who was her husband?
00:45:34Who were you married to?
00:45:36Who were you married to?
00:46:01Hey, can I get a...
00:46:04Coffee to go.
00:46:05I need a basket.
00:46:07Thanks.
00:46:18Oh, sorry.
00:46:20Sarah, wait.
00:46:22Please.
00:46:25How are you holding?
00:46:26Not too bad, considering the entire town thinks I'm a murderer.
00:46:31Well, I don't.
00:46:32And I that is B.
00:46:33We've been reading your books for years.
00:46:36You know, you're better than anyone in this town.
00:46:38You didn't kill that kid.
00:46:42So, the police, they have any leads?
00:46:45I don't know.
00:46:46I'm not really in the loop.
00:46:48Then why didn't you just leave?
00:46:49I can't.
00:46:50I, uh...
00:46:52I don't think that would look too good.
00:46:54It doesn't look very good now.
00:46:57Hmm.
00:46:58I got a point.
00:47:00And did you ever hear anything about Mayor Warner going after Michael?
00:47:03The mayor?
00:47:04No.
00:47:05But you know if it's gossip you want?
00:47:07You got a doctor to be.
00:47:09I might just do that.
00:47:11Oh.
00:47:12Thanks.
00:47:12I got a second.
00:47:14Okay.
00:47:15Okay.
00:47:59Get off the tail!
00:48:12Get off the tail!
00:48:35Oh, my God.
00:49:07Look, I'm really sorry. I was being chased.
00:49:09License registration, please.
00:49:15There was a car. It was right on my tail.
00:49:18It was just trying to run me off the road.
00:49:21Honey, I don't see anyone.
00:49:24No, but that's...
00:49:26They're gone already.
00:49:28Right.
00:49:29You know, if I were you, I'd think about trying to keep a low profile.
00:49:33Stay out of trouble.
00:49:37Okay.
00:49:38I'll be right back.
00:50:08I'll be right back.
00:50:18I'll be right back.
00:50:31Oh, my God.
00:50:57Stop. Stop what?
00:50:59Well, obviously, whoever killed Michael thinks that I'm on to them.
00:51:02Then why is that?
00:51:04You don't think I'm just going to sit here and let you tighten the noose around my neck, do you?
00:51:08I know a thing or two about investigation.
00:51:10Some people think I should have already arrested you.
00:51:13So why haven't you?
00:51:14Because unlike them, I believe people are innocent until proven guilty.
00:51:17Did your deputy tell you about the little incident with the car?
00:51:21You mean the speeding ticket?
00:51:22I was being chased.
00:51:23You never saw anyone.
00:51:24They sped off.
00:51:26Miss Wilde...
00:51:26What has to happen here before you'll open your eyes and see that there is something going on?
00:51:30What, a conspiracy?
00:51:32I'm being set up.
00:51:34It's obvious.
00:51:35By who?
00:51:37I assure you, we are investigating every possible angle.
00:51:40Right, okay.
00:51:41Well, are you investigating this angle in here?
00:51:44Huh?
00:51:48It's quite the mess.
00:51:52It's quite the mess.
00:51:53That's it?
00:51:56You're not going to dust for prints or check for witnesses or anything?
00:51:59It's just quite the mess?
00:52:02Miss Wilde, I'm in the middle of a rather large, rather important murder investigation.
00:52:07Now, as much as I would love to be able to claim that I have the type of omniscient crime
00:52:11lab
00:52:11that one might encounter in, say, one of your novels,
00:52:14I again assure you, my men are working as hard as they can.
00:52:19Yeah.
00:52:20Yeah, your deputy looked really overworked when he wrote me that speeding ticket.
00:52:25You know, anybody could have written that note.
00:52:29Maybe even you.
00:52:31But then Miss Wilde.
00:52:42So, I've got that information for you from my friend at the DMV.
00:52:45There are exactly six Mustangs registered in that town.
00:52:49Really? Six?
00:52:50Mm-hmm.
00:52:51Three vintage, two convertible, and one non-operational.
00:52:54I'm sorry, darling. I wish I had better news.
00:52:56What did you need this for?
00:52:58Uh, it's not really important.
00:53:00Listen, thanks anyway, okay?
00:53:01I'll, um, I'll talk to you later.
00:53:03Okay.
00:53:03Bye.
00:53:05Bye.
00:53:47Marie.
00:53:49What are you doing here?
00:53:51Somebody broke into my house.
00:53:53What?
00:53:53When?
00:53:54Today.
00:53:56You didn't see anything?
00:53:57No.
00:53:58Did they take anything?
00:54:01No.
00:54:02No, but they, um, they pretty much ransacked the house and killed my computer.
00:54:08Why?
00:54:10I'm thinking that somebody's trying to frighten me.
00:54:14Are you sure you didn't hear anything?
00:54:17Nothing.
00:54:18But, uh...
00:54:20What?
00:54:23You're not exactly the town's favorite resident right now.
00:54:27So that makes it okay?
00:54:29No.
00:54:30Of course not.
00:54:32But I don't want to see something happen to you.
00:54:36The LREs...
00:54:38They're a very powerful family.
00:54:42I didn't kill anybody.
00:55:00I really appreciate you letting me use your computer.
00:55:03Look, look.
00:55:04I am sorry that we ever doubted you.
00:55:06I feel like I've been sucked into one of my own novels.
00:55:10Have you had a chance to call the police?
00:55:12Yeah.
00:55:13Yeah, and they're, um, looking into it.
00:55:15Figure I must be onto something if I've made them nervous.
00:55:20Okay, so, how can I help you?
00:55:22Well, I actually wanted to talk to you about Michael's relationship with Nicole Warner.
00:55:26Nicole Warner?
00:55:27Oh.
00:55:28That's old news.
00:55:29How old?
00:55:30Oh.
00:55:31He and the mayor, they got into it, what, about six, eight months ago outside of Liverpool?
00:55:35I remember?
00:55:36Wait a second, wait.
00:55:37Um, the mayor?
00:55:38Yeah.
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:39He and the LREs, they've always had a difficult relationship.
00:55:42This did not make anything easier.
00:55:44Did he hit him?
00:55:45Yeah.
00:55:46They'd both been drinking.
00:55:47There was words exchanged.
00:55:48I mean, nobody knows who hit who first, but, um, the chief had to pull them apart.
00:55:53And nobody brought this up when Michael turned up dead?
00:55:57Well, their relationship was over.
00:56:00I mean, wouldn't you know that the mayor patched things up with his wife before his pre-election campaign, you
00:56:04know?
00:56:05But, but, you know what?
00:56:06This whole thing, it really affected Michael's relationship with his father.
00:56:15What if it wasn't over?
00:56:18What do you mean?
00:56:20I took this photo the night Michael went missing.
00:56:26Well, it certainly looks like Nicole.
00:56:29Oh, yeah, it does.
00:56:31Wait a second.
00:56:34Hang on, that's not there anymore.
00:56:36What's not there?
00:56:37This.
00:56:38This photo here.
00:56:40Behind them.
00:56:41It wasn't there when I went to his house.
00:56:48What do you think the mayor would do if he found out?
00:56:50You're kidding?
00:56:51That man's famous for his temper.
00:56:53Doesn't mean he'd kill someone.
00:56:54You certainly think about it.
00:56:55Well, it would certainly impact his chances for re-election.
00:56:58No, no, personally, I would be afraid of what Edward would do to his son.
00:57:02I mean, this whole thing cost him a lot of valuable real estate contracts.
00:57:05Hold on, when I was at the police station, I overheard the deputy telling the police that the two were
00:57:09not on speaking terms.
00:57:10You see?
00:57:11Please.
00:57:11I mean, the man might sell out his grandmother, but he's not going to kill his own son.
00:57:15You don't know what those people would do.
00:57:17You don't.
00:57:18You don't.
00:57:19I do.
00:57:21I do.
00:57:21I do.
00:57:22I do.
00:57:23I do.
00:57:24I do.
00:57:49It's all right.
00:57:57Mr. Ellery.
00:58:00What do you want?
00:58:02Are you grieving over a round of golf?
00:58:04That's none of your business.
00:58:04What do you want?
00:58:05Just to talk to you for a minute.
00:58:07I think an appointment.
00:58:08I've tried your office three times.
00:58:09I'm a busy man.
00:58:10I understand.
00:58:11This will only take a minute.
00:58:13You know, if it was up to me, you'd be sitting in a cell right now.
00:58:17What about the mayor?
00:58:19What about him?
00:58:20He's the one that hit your son, right?
00:58:22Oh, you're going to dig that up now?
00:58:23I think it's a relevant issue, don't you?
00:58:25You know what?
00:58:26I will not stand here and have you drag my son's name through the mud.
00:58:29You're not curious that she was with him the night that he was murdered?
00:58:33Nicole?
00:58:37I have the photos.
00:58:47Alan threatened to pull the permits on this project that I've been working on.
00:58:52Must have been upsetting.
00:58:54Well, I've spent five years on the project.
00:58:56I mean, it's a gold mine.
00:58:58It's worth millions in the first six months alone.
00:59:00And you almost lost it all because of your son's behavior.
00:59:04My son did not force that woman to do anything against her will.
00:59:09Instead of directing his anger at me, Alan should be looking to his own bed.
00:59:13What the hell?
00:59:13He loses the damn election.
00:59:16And a part of you doesn't even blame Michael a little?
00:59:18You know what?
00:59:19Well, my son was always very popular with the ladies.
00:59:23He was charming and he was handsome.
00:59:30Yes, I did get angry with him, to be honest.
00:59:33And I threatened to cut him off.
00:59:34In fact, I said a lot of things that I would give anything, and I mean anything, to take back.
00:59:40But do you know what hurts the most?
00:59:43When his mother died, he was all I had left.
00:59:47And I never once told him I loved him.
00:59:54That son of a bitch.
00:59:56Who believe he is having a gala fundraiser tonight?
01:00:26Who believe he is having a gala fundraiser tonight?
01:00:29Who believe he is having a gala fundraiser tonight?
01:00:45Oh, thank you.
01:00:51You look great.
01:00:52Thanks, babe.
01:00:53I'll see you later.
01:00:54Okay.
01:01:11Enjoying the party?
01:01:13It's wild.
01:01:14Don't worry, this won't take long.
01:01:16I just want to ask you a couple of questions about Michael Ellery.
01:01:19Well, what happened to him was a tragedy, and I hope that whoever did it is adequately punished.
01:01:24You know him.
01:01:25My husband is the mayor.
01:01:27I know a lot of people.
01:01:29I saw you at his house tonight, but he was murdered.
01:01:33If you'll excuse me, I think this conversation's over.
01:01:35I have a photograph of the two of you in his kitchen.
01:01:47What do you think your husband would do if you found out?
01:01:50What are you doing?
01:01:52Just trying to find the truth.
01:01:54What do you want me to say?
01:01:55Yes, Michael and I had a relationship.
01:01:58Michael had many relationships.
01:02:00Were they serious?
01:02:02What was the plan?
01:02:04To elope?
01:02:06To run away where your husband couldn't find you?
01:02:08What are you talking about?
01:02:09Well, I don't believe we've had the pleasure.
01:02:12Miss Wilde.
01:02:13Good evening, Chief.
01:02:15Why are you not surprised to see you here?
01:02:18Miss Wilde, I'd like to propose that we spare us both the embarrassment of having you escorted out of here.
01:02:25Of course you're in.
01:02:29Always a pleasure, Chief.
01:02:35Sorry about that, man.
01:02:36I'll make sure Miss Wilde keeps her distance.
01:02:38No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
01:02:40Right, honey?
01:02:43Honey?
01:02:47Oh, no.
01:02:48No, it's fine.
01:02:52Matt?
01:02:52Mrs. Warner?
01:02:54So, what was that all about?
01:02:58Oh, she was just asking me questions about the town.
01:03:30Oh, she was just asking me questions about the town.
01:03:33So, maybe...
01:03:42Go, I don't think it's
01:03:48Because I'm here, she didn't have a problem.
01:03:50See?
01:04:57Leave me alone!
01:05:09See you, Link, Police Department.
01:05:38See you, Link.
01:05:42Where are we going?
01:05:45This way.
01:05:52Everything all right, Nicole?
01:05:54This woman bothering you?
01:05:56It's fine.
01:05:58I don't think the chief would be too happy to know you're still harassing the mayor's wife in a while.
01:06:02I said it's fine, Dave. It's just a little girl talk, that's all.
01:06:14You guys are really a piece of work, isn't it?
01:06:16Dave?
01:06:16Yeah.
01:06:17He's always been that way.
01:06:19My husband took care of them when they were kids.
01:06:21I guess he's just being protective.
01:06:23Kids?
01:06:25You don't know?
01:06:26No.
01:06:27They're half-brothers.
01:06:29Well, this town really is small.
01:06:32So, uh, what did you want to talk to me about?
01:06:36Look, I know my husband has a motive, and I know that he is crazy jealous, but he's not a
01:06:40killer.
01:06:40But he attacked Mike once before.
01:06:42Yeah, well, they were both drunk.
01:06:44Was he drinking the night Michael vanished?
01:06:46He doesn't even know that I was there.
01:06:48He was out with the guys. There's no way that he could do it.
01:06:51You know what I find weird is there was no blood in the house.
01:06:55The locks weren't picked.
01:06:56I mean, no sign of force entry.
01:06:58Yeah.
01:07:00I'm just thinking that maybe it was someone that he knew.
01:07:03So what?
01:07:04You think I did it?
01:07:06There's a photo of you. It's missing now.
01:07:08I made him take that down.
01:07:12Well, you know, I saw that he had a bag packed.
01:07:14Where were you guys going?
01:07:18We had talked about leaving.
01:07:20Yeah.
01:07:21What happened?
01:07:22Look, don't get me wrong. He was sweet.
01:07:24And the sex was incredible.
01:07:28But it was just talk.
01:07:30So how did you leave him?
01:07:31I was straightforward with him from day one.
01:07:33And yeah, he was angry when I left, but he had to get over it because I'm married.
01:07:39Okay, it doesn't matter what you think about me.
01:07:42But I think that you should know that there's a long list of people with motives to kill Michael.
01:07:47What do you mean?
01:07:49He had it rough with his dad.
01:07:51He cut him off.
01:07:52Canceled his trust fund.
01:07:54His dad's off sailing the Caribbean and his kid's borrowing money from me to pay off his debt.
01:07:58So he's broke.
01:07:59He was beyond broke.
01:08:00And he owed a lot of people money.
01:08:02Like who?
01:08:04Bookies, mostly.
01:08:05He liked to bet on sports.
01:08:06What about Jason Kelly?
01:08:09Did he owe him money?
01:08:10Probably.
01:08:11I didn't really know him.
01:08:13I only met him once or twice.
01:08:14But I know him and Michael hung out a lot.
01:08:17Edward never approved.
01:08:18He always told Michael to stay away from him.
01:08:21Why?
01:08:22I don't know.
01:08:24You have to ask him.
01:08:32Okay, thanks.
01:08:47Jason Kelly.
01:08:49That's a name I'd rather not hear again.
01:08:54I tried to keep Michael away from him.
01:08:58What is that?
01:09:00He's a bad influence.
01:09:03Is that it?
01:09:05My son had a gambling problem.
01:09:07Jason merely exacerbated it.
01:09:09Is that why you cut him off?
01:09:12Ms. Wilde, uh...
01:09:15I really appreciate your efforts in trying to solve this case.
01:09:18But I hope you can understand that I am not the least bit interested in discussing my late son's indiscretions.
01:09:24Now, if you will excuse me, I have funeral arrangements to make.
01:09:31Of course.
01:09:31Listen to your thoughts.
01:09:33Bye.
01:09:36Hmm.
01:09:45Bye.
01:09:47Bye.
01:09:48Bye.
01:09:50Bye.
01:09:51Bye.
01:09:54Bye.
01:09:56Bye.
01:09:57Bye.
01:10:44Dang it.
01:11:28I'm just wondering, what's the motive?
01:11:32Research.
01:11:33So you should get away with it?
01:11:35Why here?
01:11:36Why now?
01:11:38Maybe she got too involved.
01:11:41Crossed the line.
01:11:42I mean, you read what she wrote in her blog.
01:11:44Could have been a crime of passion.
01:11:45Yeah, but why would she go from a woman with a simple crush to a full-fledged murderess?
01:11:50There was no physical relationship between the two, and there's not a shred of evidence that she was there the
01:11:54night he disappeared.
01:11:56You remember that Giordano case?
01:11:58Upstate a couple of years ago?
01:12:00Doesn't take much to push someone over the edge.
01:12:02No, it's not the same.
01:12:04She doesn't fit the profile.
01:12:05Why, because she's rich?
01:12:08No, because she's smart.
01:12:11She's in that cottage.
01:12:12Someone did a real number on it.
01:12:14Like you say, she's smart.
01:12:15She could have done that herself just to throw us off.
01:12:20Possible, I suppose.
01:12:22I still think we're missing something.
01:12:24You want me to go through the files again?
01:12:26Maybe there is someone else.
01:12:28Someone who wants us to think it's wild.
01:12:31You want me to take a close look at that Jason kid?
01:12:35You know what?
01:12:37I'm going to go back down there.
01:12:38Walk down the water.
01:12:39See if I can find anything.
01:12:41You want me to go with you?
01:12:42No, no, you grab your coffee.
01:12:43Give me a chance to think when it's over.
01:12:45Thanks, though.
01:12:46No problem, Chief.
01:12:49Sheriff, hi.
01:12:51Miss Wilde, what are you doing here?
01:12:53I came to show you something.
01:12:55You see that?
01:12:57That's my car.
01:12:59Wow.
01:13:00Yeah.
01:13:01Yeah, wow.
01:13:01Well, if you'd like to file a report.
01:13:04A report?
01:13:05You mean the same kind of report that I filed after the break-in?
01:13:08Is that kind of a report?
01:13:09Miss Wilde, just...
01:13:10Look, don't you see?
01:13:11The killer is still out there.
01:13:13And they're afraid that I'm on to them.
01:13:15Then file a report.
01:13:18Did you know that Michael owed Jason Kelly money?
01:13:21He owed a lot of people money.
01:13:22Yeah, but this was a lot of money, okay?
01:13:24Look, look.
01:13:24I mean, this was tens of thousands.
01:13:26Check it out.
01:13:31This couldn't mean anything.
01:13:33Besides, look.
01:13:33My deputy has already gone down to the theater and talked to people, okay?
01:13:36You can check his report if you want.
01:13:37Five people confirmed that he was there, never left.
01:13:40Not even to go to the bathroom.
01:13:41Yeah, but I...
01:13:43I just...
01:13:44Miss Wilde, if you'd like to file a report, please, talk to my desk sergeant.
01:13:50Otherwise, allow me to finish my investigation.
01:14:03I am so glad you came to see me today, because I've got a great selection at the moment.
01:14:09So with your kids, have you gotten into an accident?
01:14:12Vandalism.
01:14:13Not to worry, because we've got some pretty fancy rides.
01:14:15Well, I don't want anything too fancy.
01:14:16Just something that's cheap that gets good gas mileage.
01:14:19Sure, because when I look at you, I see a woman with taste.
01:14:25I like this one.
01:14:27Just got it back yesterday.
01:14:30Really?
01:14:31Yeah, uh, I haven't had a chance to clean her out yet, but...
01:14:34Well, what do you say?
01:14:36We shave off a couple of bucks off the top, and, uh, I overlook the mess.
01:14:40Deal.
01:14:41Deal.
01:14:43Shall we?
01:15:02That's one flashy car.
01:15:04Yeah, well, you know, us girls just want to have fun.
01:15:24Vanilla hazelnut latte, double sugar, double soy milk.
01:15:35Christina Lake, police department.
01:15:37Yeah, hi, it's Sarah Wilde calling.
01:15:39Yes, Ms. Wilde, how can I help you?
01:15:40I need to speak with the chief.
01:15:41Is he around?
01:15:42It's an emergency.
01:15:43No, the chief's not here.
01:15:44Would you like to talk to the deputy?
01:15:46No, no, no, no.
01:15:47I mean, look, it's just, it's important that I speak with the chief and the chief only, okay?
01:15:52Um, just tell him that I know who killed Michael Ellery.
01:15:56What?
01:15:57Okay, you know, better yet, just have him come to my house, okay?
01:16:00He knows where I live.
01:16:01All right?
01:16:02Sure.
01:16:02Great, thanks.
01:16:04Thanks.
01:16:08Thanks.
01:16:41Oh, thank God you're here.
01:16:42Oh, sir.
01:16:52I told you to stop.
01:16:54It's hard to play detective, didn't you?
01:16:56Yeah, I don't know.
01:16:58I'm just getting started.
01:17:08Any messages?
01:17:09Sarah Wilde.
01:17:10Says she knows who killed Michael Ellery.
01:17:12Wanna talk to anybody about you?
01:17:13Said to have you call her back as soon as possible.
01:17:25Hi, you've reached Sarah.
01:17:29I'm going back out there.
01:17:30If you hear from her, you'll let me know immediately.
01:17:57Sarah?
01:18:10It's Chief Says, you hear?
01:18:29It's the Chief.
01:18:30I need you to run a GPS on Deputy Walsh's car.
01:18:33I want to know exactly where he is.
01:18:47Easy.
01:18:47Don't hurt yourself.
01:18:51Is your brother right now?
01:18:52You don't have to do this by yourself.
01:18:55Alan worked his ass off for this town.
01:18:57He didn't deserve to lose the most important thing in his life with that punk.
01:19:01Well, I saw her with that punk.
01:19:02It didn't seem like she was suffering.
01:19:04Shut up.
01:19:05I remember just fine until he showed up.
01:19:09So you killed him?
01:19:10No.
01:19:10No.
01:19:10I gave him a chance to walk away.
01:19:11He wouldn't listen.
01:19:13What was I supposed to do?
01:19:15Alan always protected me.
01:19:17He looked after me.
01:19:20I owed him.
01:19:48Well, I don't want to go.
01:20:00What do you think is going to happen when your number one suspect turns up dead?
01:20:03Come on, move.
01:20:03Huh?
01:20:04You don't think that's going to seem a little suspicious?
01:20:07Look.
01:20:08After all the guilt over what you've done, combined with your incredible sense of loss,
01:20:13it's only a matter of time before you're driven to take your own life.
01:20:18Suicide.
01:20:18I'm not quite the way you are, but I'll try to do you justice when I write the note.
01:20:22Go to hell.
01:20:23After you.
01:20:25Move.
01:20:27Hey.
01:20:31Whoa!
01:20:32Whoa!
01:20:44Oh!
01:20:55This is the chief.
01:20:56We're in a situation down at the dam.
01:20:58While she's taking a hostage, don't ask any questions.
01:21:00Just get some men down here immediately.
01:21:06You're hurting me.
01:21:13Get down!
01:21:14Get off!
01:21:24What's wrong?
01:21:25Shut up.
01:21:26What's the matter?
01:21:27No plan B.
01:21:28Suicide, shut up!
01:21:34Look out!
01:21:39Dave, come on.
01:21:41I just want to talk.
01:21:43Get up!
01:21:45Go!
01:21:56Move!
01:21:57Move!
01:21:57Come on, go!
01:21:58Okay!
01:22:02Hey!
01:22:03Hey!
01:22:04Up!
01:22:11Down!
01:22:30Back away, Dave!
01:22:37Enough!
01:22:44Come on.
01:22:49Got him?
01:22:57You all right?
01:22:59Yeah.
01:23:04Thanks.
01:23:05Come on.
01:23:25Sarah, I want to apologize.
01:23:29I should have listened to you.
01:23:33You did what you had to do.
01:23:38And we solved our case.
01:23:41Yeah, we did.
01:23:46So what now?
01:23:47Can I finish the book?
01:23:51I think I finally found a way to end it.
01:23:56Send me a copy.
01:23:59Sure.
01:24:02Thanks, Sarah.
01:24:04Good night.
01:24:07Good night.
01:24:26Hey, Lewis.
01:24:28I knew you'd be back.
01:24:33Thanks.
01:24:35Darling, great news.
01:24:36The publisher's already going back to press.
01:24:38They say this is going to be your biggest book yet.
01:24:41It's fantastic.
01:24:42So when are you coming back to the city?
01:24:43I've got some good deals in the pipeline for you we need to talk about.
01:24:47I'm not sure.
01:24:48Sarah, come on.
01:24:50I know this town is cute and quaint and all that, but it's time to get back to work.
01:24:55I can work here.
01:24:57Sorry that I already started my next book.
01:25:00Really?
01:25:01Mm-hmm.
01:25:02Then what's it about?
01:25:03Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
01:25:08Hello, Chief.
01:25:10Excuse me one minute.
01:25:14Ms. Wilde?
01:25:18If you would.
01:25:21And, um, who shall I make it out to?
01:25:24Darren.
01:25:26Darren.
01:25:31We'd be in town for a while.
01:25:33I might be.
01:25:35Good.
01:25:35There's a case I'd like to talk to you about.
01:25:38A case, huh?
01:25:39That is, if you're interested.
01:25:43Sure.
01:25:45Good.
01:25:46Why don't we discuss it over dinner tonight?
01:25:48Why don't we?
01:25:50Pick you up at seven?
01:25:52Sounds good.
01:25:59Whatever happened to you, I just need a little peace and quiet so I can concentrate on my writing.
01:26:07Well, you know I like unpredictable endings.
01:26:10Call you tomorrow?
01:26:12You got it.
01:26:15Murray.
01:26:17To my dear neighbor and friend.
01:26:21No, okay.
01:26:23Yes, thanks for the muffins.
